Chapter 39: The Fox's Tail
Seeing that the ox cart ran to the south gate, the middle-aged man surnamed Wang chatted with the young man while walking, saying that he had delayed his big event.
Li Yu's heart is turning, if there is a problem with this car of wine, then this restaurant is an important den.
He pulled the guard over, whispered a few words in his ear, turned and went downstairs and followed. After Li Yu and the others left, the guards went downstairs and disappeared into the crowd.
The ox cart was briefly interrogated at the city gate, and then went out of the city without a hitch.
Li Yu and the other guard took two steps to follow.
was suddenly grabbed by someone.
Li Yu was startled, and his first reaction was to pull out his gun.
The guards were already holding short guns and pointing at the people who were holding Li Yu.
Li Yu fixed his eyes and saw that the person who pulled his arm was a little old man, with a sallow face and a thin face, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Your Highness, don't panic, come with me."
The yellow-faced old man pulled Li Yu into the sentry house at the city gate.
The guards followed, guns in their hands.
The old man gave a deep salute and hurriedly said: "The minister is Feng Fuyu, the warden of Dengzhou, and I have seen His Highness. ”
"Oh? Are you Feng Fuyu? ”
Only then did Li Yu look at the old man again.
"Your Highness, I have already found out the clue, there is something suspicious about the ox cart, and there are our people outside the city gate, so you don't need to risk your life."
"There's something important in the car, if it's ......"
"Your Highness, don't worry, they can't run, the restaurant is the point."
Li Yu looked at this old guy, he really had two clicks, he had just arrived in Xiangyang, and he could find clues, which was not simple.
"I have already sent someone to inform the King of Chu."
"I have already made arrangements, and the King of Chu also knows the situation."
Feng Fuyu squinted and said.
The old guy still has a bit of a last resort.
The guards were on duty outside the door, and Li Yu and Feng Fuyu waited for news in the sentry room.
An hour later, someone ran into the sentry room and reported to the old man: "Lord Warden, you have reached your footing. ”
"Well, let's go."
Out of the sentry house, Feng Fuyu waved his hand outside, and hundreds of armed servants came out of the houses next to the city gate.
The crowd trotted out of the city gate, and someone led the way to the place where the city had landed.
Out of the south gate, go to the southeast of Da Hyeon.
"My lord, it's at the foot of Da Hyeon Mountain."
Da Xian Mountain is ten miles away from Xiangyang City, and it is only half an hour, and everyone surrounded a small farm yard under the guidance of the secret whistle.
Feng Fuyu was about to give the order to arrest someone, but Li Yu stopped him.
"Feng Dian Prison, leave people to watch over the nearby courtyards to prevent them from being connected by tunnels."
Feng Fuyu's eyes lit up, he looked at the courtyard near the left, and left more than a dozen officials, found something wrong, and arrested him directly.
The arrangement was thorough, Feng Fuyu waved his hand, dozens of officials broke in, chickens and dogs jumped in the yard, and geese rattled, like sirens, and everyone around could hear it.
Li Yu stood at the door, he knew that he didn't need to make his own move, he was more professional.
The effort was not great, and seven or eight people were pushed out of the courtyard, old and young, men and women.
Li Yu carefully identified that the middle-aged man surnamed Wang was not among them. Broken, he ran away! Even the guy ran away.
"Lord Feng, the people have run away."
Li Yu hurriedly reminded.
Feng Fuyu was also anxious at this time.
"What about the people who just came back from buying wine? Where's the guy at the restaurant?! ”
Feng Fuyu asked with a glare.
These people kept their heads down and did not speak.
Seeing this, the officials on the side slapped them a few times, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding, but they still didn't say a word.
"Scatter and search, the nearby courtyard is the focus."
Li Yu reminded.
"Spread out."
More than a dozen officials watched over the men, while others searched for the surrounding courtyards.
Li Yu and Feng Fuyu waited patiently.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly in the distance, and it was hard to hear from a distance.
Feng Fuyu rushed over with someone.
Li Yu wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, it wouldn't be a move away from the mountain, right?
Looking at the people who had already gone away, Li Yu still stopped.
There were only a dozen officials left at the scene.
There was a lot of shouting in the distance, accompanied by screams, and it seemed that the fine work was desperately resisting.
Everyone was attracted by the pursuit from afar, so they didn't care about the current situation.
Bouncing ~~~
A few bowstring sounds, puff puff ~~~ ah ~~ uh ~
Li Yu looked back and saw that several officials had already been hit by arrows.
The bound prisoners were also desperately resisting, hitting the nearby officials with their bodies.
These officials were so confused by this sudden situation that they did not react for a while, and there were several people who had been hit on the ground.
Bouncing ~~~
Lightning and flint iron arrows were fired, and several more officials fell.
Only then did the officials react, drawing their horizontal knives and rushing towards the place where the arrows were shot.
Li Yu and the guards had already poured the primer at this time, and pulled the trigger on the man with the bow and arrow.
Boom boom boom ~~
A few gunshots rang out, and Li Yu and the guards walked out of the smoke.
Several officials froze on the spot, and opposite them were two people covered in blood, slowly sliding on the ground against the wall, their eyes dim, their mouths open, and their faces were incredible.
Li Yu walked past the officials and gave them a few scares on their shoulders as a sign of comfort.
Seeing that the middle-aged man surnamed Wang was wearing a package, he nodded to the guards.
The guards went up to unwrap the package and brought it to Li Yu.
When he opened the package, there was a wooden box inside, and seeing that it was locked with a copper lock, Li Yu took out a short knife and pried it open with a few clicks.
I opened it and took a look at it and closed the lid.
"On my back."
Li Yu took the guards back to Xiangyang City.
As for the arrest of the spies, it has nothing to do with him.
When passing by the restaurant, I saw that some soldiers surrounded the restaurant, and pushed out more than a dozen people from inside, tied up with flowers, stuffed with rags, and escorted to the state government.
Back at Jiedu Mansion, Li Yu said hello to Zhao Kuangning and told him that something had been found, and if he could interrogate news related to Nanyang, inform him.
In Li Yu's bedroom, looking at the contents of the wooden box, he was full of emotion.
Inside the wooden box was a full set of armed equipment, cowhide armed belts, pill boxes, cartridge boxes, and pistol holsters. The important thing is the six-turn pistol and ammunition.
The pistol was quietly inserted in the holster, and after it was pulled out, the body of the gun shone with a dark luster under the lamplight, like a steel beast that chose to devour people and hibernated.
After carefully checking and finding that there were no missing parts, Li Yu was relieved.
It seems that the use of weapons must be strict, and such a thing cannot happen again.
The next day, Zhao Kuangning invited Li Yu to the festival hall to listen to the report of the case.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Royal Highness the King of De, the minister has mastered part of the network of fine work."
"Tell me about the specifics."
"Yes."
The yellow-faced Feng Fuyu saluted Zhao Kuangning and Li Yushen, and then said: "The Xuanwu Army sent people to lurk in Xiangyang ten years ago, and they entered the Jiedu Mansion and the prefecture and county governments through various connections, in order to listen to intelligence, instigate rebellion against officials, and prepare for the next step of encroaching on Jingxiang. ”
"Hiss~~ 10 years ago...... Started the layout? ”
Zhao Kuangning took a cool breath, and he felt a chill down his spine.
"Then what's going on with Song Yuan?"
"Song Yuan was bribed by Zhu Quanzhong, promised heavy profits and official positions, and threatened his family, so he gave in."
"How many more people are like him?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, this is their list of rebellions."
Zhao Kuangning took a look at the list and almost fainted.
Half of the people in his Jiedu Mansion were rebelled.
His hands holding the list were shaking, or rather trembling with fear.
"Catch, you can't let any of them go!"
Zhao Kuangning gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes."
Feng Fuyu looked up at Li Yu and said, "Your Royal Highness, about this robbery, it was their organization's C-shaped work to do it, he is very high-level in the Xuanwu Army, and they don't know who it is or where it is. ”
"Hmm. Lord Feng worked hard. ”
Li Yu had already been mentally prepared, how could such a detailed system be easily discovered? It would be nice to be able to recover something.
This person must be very familiar with the Dewang Mansion, otherwise how could he accurately attack the sentry? It is impossible to know the route of the patrol.
He secretly thought about the people around him, who could specifically touch the patrol route of a regiment.
Fang Xing must have known, but he had many excuses to get a gun, there was no need to kill people and grab guns, make such a big move, and expose himself so obviously.
Li Xiong?
He could know the rules of the patrol, but he couldn't know exactly the route.
Fang Liang?
It shouldn't be possible.
This kid doesn't have the guts.
Wei Ai?
He knew the relevant situation, he was a pawn, Fang Xing might report to him, but why did he do this?
He brought brute soldiers, used Tang Army standard equipment, and even the gun in his hand was withdrawn.
Withdraw?
Wei Ai?
Can't you? That's the guard next to my father, and I'm deeply trusted by my father.
Thinking of this, Li Yu felt a chill in his heart.
He trusted Wei Ai even more than Fang Xing and them, could it be him?
Thinking about it carefully, he and Wei Ai have only known each other for a year, and they don't know anything about his previous experience.
But if you want to say that you understand, Fang Xing and these people were still mountain bandits before, and if you want to say that you are suspicious, you should be suspicious of the people who took refuge halfway.
But Li Yu muttered after thinking about it, is Wei Ai's recent performance a bit abnormal?
Let go of this thought and think back to your civil servant.
Zhou Kuan is his eldest brother, and it is impossible for him to turn his elbow outward.
Gao Shi, Li Huaixian, and Wang Qian all have families in Nanyang, and they have to rely on their own glory and wealth, and the important thing is that they don't touch these military things.
No, Li Huaixian touched the arsenal.
If you think about it carefully, it can't be Li Huaixian.
If Li Huaixian is in charge of the arsenal himself, stealing a pistol is a matter of changing the number for him, is there still a need to kill?
It seems that this number C fell on these people who led the troops.
As for who? This needs to be carefully examined.
Suddenly, Li Yu suddenly remembered that he had to build an intelligence system, otherwise his eyes would be black, and he wouldn't know anything.
Just like now, I just arrived in Nanyang for a year, and I was inserted into a C number around me, as well as A and B?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Yu was troubled, he was infiltrated by Zhu Quanzhong like a broken sieve, and his whole body was full of holes.
