The old ghost is a fool all day long, keen on gambling, and seems to be indifferent to everything, but he can't hide things from him in the barracks, as long as he wants to know, there are news channels. Qin Xiao's matter, the old ghost just happened to hear a few gossips, and with a little inference, he cracked Qin Xiao's scheme.

A few days ago, the old ghost gambled with a group of people. One of them is Hou San'er, Xing's personal follower of the army. This person is a good gambler, but he is also a poor ghost, and he has little money on him. But on that day, Hou San'er seemed to have made a windfall, made a bold move, and lost money without even blinking. This abnormal behavior attracted the attention of the old ghost.

casually asked, "Hou San'er, where have you made a fortune recently?" But don't forget your brother. ”

Hou San'er just laughed, but didn't answer the old ghost's words.

There's something going on here. The old ghost is a shrewd person, and he no longer asks questions, and concentrates on gambling money. Not long after, Hou San'er lost all the money on his body, but he was addicted to gambling and rubbed his hands and refused to leave. After enduring it for a long time, he finally spoke, "Brother Ghost, borrow ten taels of silver and pay you back in a few days." ”

"Just you? I can't wait to sell my pants and gamble on both hands, what will I pay? The old ghost remembered the previous events and deliberately provoked Hou San'er. Sure enough, Hou San'er couldn't be excited, and his face turned red.

"In a few days, double it for you." Hou San'er said with great confidence.

"Oh?" The old ghost narrowed his eyes and sneered, "There is a way to get money, and you still hide it?" ”

Hou San'er hesitated for a moment, after all, the gambling addiction was too big, overpowering the little vigilance in his heart, approaching the old ghost's ear, and said three words in a low voice, "Breeding affairs." ”

"Huh." The old ghost suddenly understood, sneered and stopped talking.

The affairs of the breeding industry are not a secret in the Shayuan Prison, or an open secret.

There is only one function of breeding, and that is to breed foals. Since the establishment of the Shayuan Prison by Taizu of this dynasty, the yield was acceptable in the first few years, but the next year was not as good as the year. There are two reasons for this. One is that breeding foals is too expensive, and the cost of caring for a foal is often several times that of buying an adult horse.

Moreover, raising foals is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the fines, feeding, nursing, and medical treatment all need to be carefully cared for.

Another reason comes from the Horse Rangers. The food and salary of the Xiang army are extremely low, and they are frequently deducted by the officials, and they have resentment in their hearts, how can they raise horses wholeheartedly? It's all about running errands, and the foals are even more strenuous to deal with. Therefore, the Xiang army was very resistant to raising foals, often stealing essence and selling it, and even worse, letting the foals drink ashes and die.

For various reasons, the yield of fertility has been extremely low over the years. However, it has also become a way for some bold people to make money. They managed to fake the death of some foals of the famous breed and then smuggle them out and sell them. Because the foal is too small, it has not yet been branded as an official horse, and when it grows up in the future, who can tell?

This trick of stealing the foal, the old ghost is naturally clear, and he understands it as soon as he hears it.

However, since this kind of thing has happened, how could the Shayuan Supervisor be unprepared? The old ghost doesn't know how to strictly control the breeding affairs, but there is one joint that involves the Xiaoqi camp. The Shayuan Superintendent stipulates that all sick and dead horses, including foals, must be buried and disposed of, and the Riding Battalion must be supervised and signed. This errand was in charge of Xing Tianhai, who joined the army.

This is a counterweight to prevent collusion between breeding and others.

Afterwards, the old ghost inquired a little, and Qin Xiao was immediately exposed.

The reason why I wanted to remind Qin Chong was because the old ghost felt that there was a ghost in this matter. With Qin Xiao's experience, he couldn't think of such a method, so he had to have someone who knew how to mention it. But why did this person mention Qin Xiao? Once this matter is exposed, not only Qin Xiao will be convicted, but I am afraid that even the entire Qin family will suffer because of this.

Who mentioned Qin Xiao? Just look at the past few days, Qin Xiao has frequently come and gone to the Xiaoqi camp, who is he looking for?

Only Xing Tianhai joined the army.

However, why did Xing Tianhai mention Qin Xiao?

If it is said that it is to help Qin Xiao steal horses, and he does not hesitate to take risks, the old ghost does not believe it. Joining the army and guarding self-theft is also a big crime. It is said that you can't cut officials and seize your position, exile you to the borderlands, and your life will be ruined. Is Xing Tianhai stupid? How much profit can he give up his life and please a concubine who commands the envoy's family?

If this is not the case, then there is a conspiracy, a trap against Qin Yutian.

Qin Zhong left the Xiao Cavalry Camp, and he had a lot of worries along the way. He didn't know anything about Qin Xiao's eldest brother. From childhood to adulthood, the two rarely spoke, let alone got close. Even, Qin Chong could feel the inexplicable hostility from this big brother. When he was a child, he didn't understand, but now he knows, it's the difference between a concubine.

Especially after the death of her mother, Aunt Liu was difficult and mean everywhere, and all the time, she wanted to sweep Qin Chong out of the house. Qin Chong was full of hatred for her, but he couldn't say love and hate for Qin Xiao.

In Qin Chong's heart, Qin Xiao's impression was very indifferent, and the two had little intersection. Later, although I went to the same academy, I went to each other when I went, and I went back separately when I returned, and I was like a passerby.

Not far from the gate of the Xiao Riding Camp, it is a post road. The road is wide enough for two horse-drawn carriages, and on both sides of the road, tall and straight poplars are planted, and the greenery is thick. This post road connects Shayuanjian and Dali County. And the military camp of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is located in the middle of the post road.

At this time, it was noon, and there were many cars and pedestrians on the road. There are also many hawkers who carry burdens, sitting in the shade of the trees in twos and threes, eating dry food, and gossiping. Speaking of fun, laugh a few times.

A living road map.

Suddenly, the leisurely post road was disrupted, and a team of horses galloped in. The two horses ran side by side, with a total of six horses in front and behind, roaring along and occupying most of the road. Immediately, the knight shouted loudly, waving his horsewhip to drive away the pedestrians who stood in the way, and his momentum was particularly arrogant. Behind the caravoy, a carriage followed.

Qin Chong let him go to the side of the road and waited for the horse team to pass. Just as the carriage passed by, the curtain suddenly lifted, revealing the face of a young man. The face is pale, the eye bubbles are puffy, and it looks like the wine is excessive. Xu heard the constant screaming outside the car, which made him quite impatient, so he raised the curtain of the car to take a look.

In an instant, Qin Zhong recognized the person in the car, and immediately became angry, and shouted, "Yao Gang." ”

His legs kicked the ground violently, and his body shot at the carriage like a sharp arrow.

Yao Gang also saw Qin Chong, frightened like a quail, and retracted the carriage with a pout.

"Quick, quick, quick." Yao Gang shouted at the top of his voice.

Before the words fell, only a loud "bang" was heard in my ears, and the carriage was torn apart. The horse-drawn carriage was speeding up, as if it had been hit by a boulder, and flew sideways to the side of the road. The horses driving the car neighed, and were dragged and rolled to the ground by the inertia of the driver, and scratched a deep mark on the ground.

Qin Chong kicked angrily, and when he saw the carriage flying out, he was also startled. At this time, he had a deep understanding of his own divine power. In my memory, I once picked up a stone lion of three hundred catties, but it was not as shocking as the scene in front of me. This is talented, Qin Chong clenched his fists quite excitedly.

Glancing over the broken carriage, he saw two people struggling to get up.

At this time, the horse team that opened the road in front also noticed that something was wrong behind them, adjusted the formation of the reins, brushed out of the roadside and drew an arc, and turned around and returned cleanly. These people are all box soldiers, skilled in horsemanship, plus some martial arts, and were accepted as guards of Yao Mansion. Usually bullying people and being very arrogant.

At this time, he saw that something had happened to the carriage, and while riding the horse, he pulled out his waist knife.

Yao Gang staggered to his feet, his hair scattered, and his face was covered with blood. Panicked and trembling like chaff. Suddenly he saw the horse team rushing towards him, and immediately shouted hoarsely, "Stop him, stop him." It was as if he had lost his strength all of a sudden, his body was crooked, and he sat on the ground again, struggling several times, but he couldn't stand up with his legs weak.

As the first horse, he rushed straight towards Qin Chong. Immediately, the knight crouched on his horse's back, and his sword hung diagonally from his waist. Qin Chong naturally recognized that this was the tactics of cavalry charging into battle. The waist knife does not need to be chopped, and it can reap the lives of infantry like mowing grass just by passing through it with the speed of a horse. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed in front of Qin Chong.

Qin Chong did not retreat but advanced, his body was as fast as a flying arrow, and he slammed into the horse's neck in an oblique stab. A probe grabbed the wrist of the knight holding the sword. With a little force, the knight was immediately thrown out by Qin Chong. Slightly on one side, he ran two steps and flew up, already sitting on his horse, and galloped forward.

The knight who followed behind didn't see the situation clearly at all. In a blink of an eye, he was immediately replaced. At this time, with inertia chasing after Qin Chong, his heart was already up and down. Without waiting for them to decide whether to chase or stop, Qin Chong's already skilled longitudinal horse walked diagonally in an arc, kicked the horse's belly to accelerate, and reflexively rushed over again.

The two horses staggered, Qin Zhong leaned back, and kicked out. Hearing a scream, another knight was kicked out by him, and hit the poplar tree on the side of the road with a bang, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground motionless, and had passed out. Qin Chong concocted it as he could, and after a few kicks in succession, none of them missed.

Qin Chong entered the barracks at the age of twelve, and his fists and feet, guns and sticks, and riding and shooting were all fine. Even a strict master like Shi Yong praised Qin Chong's martial arts talent and was deeply happy to accept him as a disciple. Zeng said wildly that Qin Chong will become a first-class general in the future, even if he is comparable to the Yuan Ba, it is not an exaggeration.

Dealing with these few unpopular nursing homes is like playing, and Qin Chong doesn't need to work hard.

With a slight shake of the horse's reins, the crotch dismounted the horse and walked forward in broken steps, only for a moment, and then came to Yao Gang. Yao Gang was still sitting on the ground, looking a little lost. He was in Qin Chong's hands, and he had never been favored, especially after his ribs were broken, he suffered from a phobia of Qin Chong, and every time he saw it, his ribs ached faintly.

Yao Gang has been living in panic for the past few days. Qin Zhong was struck by lightning, even if he didn't die on the spot, he only had half a life left. Yao Gang at that time was really surprised. I thought to myself, this damn scourge was finally retributed because of a soak of urine, and the depression in my heart was opened, and it was comfortable and smooth that I had never had.

However, only one day later, his heart was clouded again.

The young man in brocade said yes, but he just kidnapped the little girl of the Cui family, but he killed the Cui family when he turned his face, and in front of him, he set fire to the Cui family. Although Yao Gang is a bastard, he will never dare to kill. Nightmares at night, all of them were Qin Chong and Cui Jiazi, smiling and asking for his life. Yao Gang was already on the verge of collapse.

"Qin Chong, it was Liu Zihao who harmed you, I want to take revenge on you for him." Yao Gang screamed, snot and tears, trembling all over, looking so frightened, where is still the arrogant and domineering "vicious dog".

It turned out that the boy in brocade was called Liu Zihao, Qin Chong sneered and said, "Yao Gang, the surname Liu, the master will look for him to take revenge, and he can't run away." Today, let's settle our accounts first. ”

"What do I have to do with you? What do I have to do with you? Yao Gang screamed continuously, and his feet kept retreating. With a stir under his feet, he sat down on the ground with a thud. Unexpectedly, it was pressed against the other person's leg.

With a snort, the man sat up. In his forties, dressed in a regimental collar robe, with a thin figure and half-white sideburns, it was Yao Pingyuan. Yao Pingyuan was obviously stunned, relieved himself, and then saw the carriage falling apart beside him, and finally understood what had happened. A wave of anger erupted.

"Qin Chong, you are so bold." Yao Pingyuan glared at Qin Zhong angrily and reprimanded loudly.

Qin Chong never expected that Yao Pingyuan was also in the car. Originally, he was just angry when he saw Yao Gang at first glance. When he kicked the carriage apart, the man immediately calmed down. Even if Yao Gang acted as a tiger and harmed the Cui family, Qin Chong didn't want to do anything to him privately, but he couldn't get angry in his heart and taught him a lesson.

But Yao Pingyuan is different, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, so this matter is a little troublesome.

"Master Yao, I'm looking for Yao Gang to ask for an account, this is a matter of course." Of course, Qin Chong would not admit it, he looked like he had been wronged, and spoke with his neck stalked. We children fight, you adults don't get involved.

"The attack on the official's car, the human and material evidence is there, and he dares to say nothing."

"Master Yao, don't wronged people." Qin Zhong was not stunned at all. Yao Pingyuan is not an idler, and when he opened his mouth, he deducted Qin Chong for a crime. If this is done, Qin Chong's life will be difficult to protect. If you change to someone who has no knowledge, I'm afraid that you will be scared on the spot. However, the two families of Qin Yao have been fighting for a long time, and Qin Zhong has long been accustomed to this.

"How did this official ever wronged you?" Yao Pingyuan's eyes were about to erupt into flames.

"When officials travel, they have their own flags to open the way, and they dare to ask where the honor guard is?"

"You?" Yao Pingyuan pointed at Qin Chong, and his eyes seemed to be on fire. How did Qin Chong know that when the officials of the Great Song Dynasty traveled above the seventh grade, there would be a flag to open the way. Yao Pingyuan is now only from the eight-rank master book, and he is still a big step away from having a guard of honor. Qin Chong's words, listening to Yao Pingyuan's ears, were clearly sarcastic.

"Yao Gang." Qin Zhong skimmed Yao Pingyuan and looked at Yao Gang. "On that day, you made a clear promise that as long as I peed at Kuixing, I would release the Cui family's little girl, and the past debts would be written off."

"However, you Yao Gang, reversed course, turned around and kidnapped the Cui family, killed people and set fires."

"Where is the little girl of the Cui family? Immediately let the person go. ”

Qin Chong's voice was higher than the other, and when he said a word, he took a step towards Yao Gang. After saying a few words, Qin Chong was already standing in front of Yao Gang. The tall figure was domineering, and Yao Gang became more and more cowering, his eyes showing horror.

"It's none of my business, it's none of my business." Yao Gang suddenly cried bitterly, and kept shouting that it was none of my business.

"What's none of your business? Someone in Nancheng saw it in person, and it was you who kidnapped Xiao Nizi. ”

"It's none of my business, it's none of my business." Yao Gang's eyes were dilated, and he kept muttering and repeating.

"That's enough." Yao Pingyuan shouted angrily.

Qin Chong also saw that Yao Gang's consciousness seemed to be wrong, and he didn't know whether to continue for a while. Yao Pingyuan didn't entangle with Qin Zhong anymore, called the guards, and helped Yao Gang to lie on the back of a horse. Turning his head, he glanced at Qin Chong with a grim gaze, and without saying a word, he walked in the direction of Dali County.

Several of the guards were injured, limped to find the horses that had run away, and followed Yao Pingyuan in a daze.

Qin Chong was stunned to see a group of people walking away, without saying a word, and did not stop him again.

Either way, his purpose has been achieved. Liu Zihao was arrested by the Xiaoqi camp, but the Cui family's little girl suddenly disappeared, and this incident inevitably made people think about it. Qin Zhong has the motive, time, and ability to take revenge on Liu Zihao and snatch Xiao Nizi. The biggest possibility is that Qin Zhong did something in it.

However, Xiao Nizi can't be exposed for the time being, and the framing of Liu Zihao can't be exposed.

Today, I used Yao Gang to vent my anger, and at the same time, I also wanted to clear myself.

Qin Zhong believes that it won't be long before the people behind Liu Zihao will intervene and even investigate the matter. And Qin Chong, who has a grudge against him, is naturally the first suspect. That's not a good thing.

Therefore, Qin is important to take precautions and confuse the public.

Qin Zheng passed on a message, he asked Yao Gang for someone today, to prove that he was not the one who snatched Xiao Nizi.

The premise is that the picture is very important.
