Volume 1 Xiao Yuanba Chapter 142 Chen Tong's Whereabouts

Yang Baihu glanced at him and felt that this old man was a little interesting. Although he is short, he is neither humble nor arrogant when he speaks, and he is neither flattering and flattering to ordinary people, nor is he as ignorant as bandits and thieves.

He couldn't help but feel a little good, laughed and stopped putting on a stand, leaned forward a little, and whispered:

"Chen Yuanhai is dead, and the body has been found on his ship. Chen Tong was said to have been seriously injured and unconscious, and was carried on a boat by several subordinates and ran away.

But I guess the water blockade is very tight, and it will be very difficult for them to escape, so they should go ashore and hide nearby."

"Oh?" Bai Pu frowned: "This is a big disaster that must not be eliminated! Do you know that half of the Chen family's sins originate from this son?"

"Of course, this person knows, Fang has just ordered a blockade, spread the surrounding villages, and all the militia are dispatched, and he will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!" Yang Baihu's face is ruthless:

"If this big scourge is not eliminated, not to mention the surrounding area of Junshan Lake, the entire Peng Ze is afraid that it will not be peaceful, no matter what, it must be found!"

"Yes...... How can you conclude that this thief must have gone ashore and not escaped by going down the river?" Bai Pu was puzzled.

"Hehe, I'll show the old butler something." As he spoke, Yang Dayi took out the binoculars from his satchel.

"Clairvoyance? Your Excellency has such a thing?"

"Yo, the old butler has knowledge, and he actually knows this?" Yang Dayi was quite surprised, and he was even more interested in this housekeeper.

"I can't hide it, there are my fleets, catapults, and lookouts hiding on the shore, and if you see from afar that it is not your own people who are coming down, immediately give a signal, and the fleet will stop you.

Since there is no anomaly below, it means that the ship has not yet been shipped. Hehe, even if he slips under my nose, don't be afraid, I still have a fleet of ships there in Shenbu, and the guard will not be able to get out of the sail!"

Bai Pu sweated on his forehead, and arched his hand: "Fortunately, the big boss had to be rescued by adults, otherwise we would have fed the fish and turtles." There are seven old husbands on behalf of Jinxi Lake and Qingyuanguan, thank you!"

"Eh, thank you." Yang waved his hand carelessly: "This is all planned by Li Sanlang and the General Staff, and I am just executing." If you have the heart, you will find an opportunity to repay Li Sanlang's favor in the future."

Next, Yang Dayi told Bai Pu that there were more than 1,000 militiamen on the north bank of the country who were searching for the remnants of the enemy, and that there were more than 600 people on the south bank, and he suggested that Bai Yan and the others could concentrate their efforts on searching the area west of Chigang and the west of Houhu on the opposite bank.

"There must be those who have slipped through the net, and the fateful ones are all at your disposal, and the people, weapons, and property you find are all at your disposal, and I only need the head of Chen Tong's house!" He said.

Bai Pu took the order and left. Next, the soldiers and civilians everywhere searched for three days under the encouragement of receiving the reward.

The people of Jinxi Lake, who had begun to go ashore, did not quite understand why they were told to tie a strip of green cloth to each of their left arms, and then gradually turned around.

Everyone realized something in their hearts, but they didn't break it, and when they met the same cloth strips, the townsmen and militiamen nodded and passed by, and no one dared to say much.

But in three days, the shrimp soldiers and crabs have also fished hundreds, and Chen Tong has not even seen a shadow. Bai Yan was anxious in her heart, and sent Bai Pu to see Yang Dayi, and learned that they had not been caught, so she was a little anxious.

"It's not good, it's not good, it's been three days and it's not been seen, eighty percent of it was escaped by him!" He stomped his feet and sighed.

"Hey, is this kid going to run away? How come there is not even a trace?" Daochang Wei was also puzzled.

"Lian Zhou Datou's corpse has been fished out, if Chen Tong is dead, it is impossible to find it, not to mention that someone said that he was not dead, but was rescued by a few personal soldiers?"

"Uncles, uncles, little nephews have a few words."

Song Xiaoqiao's voice attracted the three adults, so they looked over: "Virtuous nephew, please have something to say."

"I have two ideas, one is that we should quickly divide some of our men to go back to report to the villages, and if possible, gather a team of men to wipe out Hutou Village (Zhou Datou's) and completely destroy this scourge!

As for Chen Tong, since he is seriously injured and should not be able to walk far, the little nephew thought about it just now, we are all looking for him according to the idea of ordinary people escaping, but if he is so injured that he can't walk, all these places we are searching now are in vain!"

The three of them were stunned for a moment and looked at each other

Look, Bai Yan said, "It's really the back waves pushing the front waves, the three of us are confused, we didn't even think of this!"

"If he's really injured and can't move, he should still be near the battlefield! It is possible to cross the South Lake, the back of Changling, the front of the lake and the area along the port!"

Ren Er has been running outside a lot in order to catch Chen Tong in the past few days, and he almost understands the area thoroughly, so he immediately said these places.

Bai Pu came to see Yang Dayi for the third time. Explaining the intention, Yang Baihu noticed a place name. "Ferry along the port, ...... along the port?"

He turned around and walked to the map to look at it for a while, beckoned Bai Pu to come over, and pointed, "Look, this Yanbu ferry is very suspicious!"

At first glance, Bai Pu was startled by this picture, which at first glance was full of black lines, but if you look closely, there are mountains, water, villages and roads, and they are marked in great detail. He swallowed and spat, and asked, "Why are you interested in this place alone?"

"Look, the place where Chen Yuanhai was captured by boat is here, if it is true that Chen Tong was rescued by his own soldiers, then if he goes ashore from the other side, there is a country road not far away to the south and goes all the way to the port.

From the perspective of ordinary people, if you want to investigate the suspicion, the escape must be near the battlefield and the most likely direction for him to escape - to the west to intercept and search, and the south is really unexpected!

And this is behind my Chigang, this is a dark light! If this kid escapes upriver from the port into the Xinjiang waterway, it will be difficult to catch him again!"

"Oh, what can I do? My lord, three days have passed, will he have slipped away?" Bai Pu was also a little anxious, if Chen Tong escaped, he could think of what kind of ruthless revenge Jinxi Lake would face in the future.

"I'll transfer the boat to the port immediately," Yang asked after a moment's thought, "Would you like to help me?"

"How do you need our help? Please say it!"

"I dispatched the patrol and inspection sub-division and the militia to search Zhongyu and Xiayu in Changling, and transferred a battalion to train and search along the rural road from Nanhu to Yanbudu. You sent troops to search along the south of Chigang, and then converged at Yanbu Crossing. Can you win?"

"Alright, that's it!" The two said that they would immediately split up, and Yang Yibu, who had returned to Shangyu to rest, received the order and immediately took action to start searching both sides of the rural road.

Yang Dayi also ordered the Qian leader of the Xiangyong team to lead 200 people to search around Luosiling and Huwei.

Bai Yan was more anxious than anyone else, and after he summoned all the leaders to discuss in a hurry, he transferred back the searchers on the north bank, and then sent seven hundred people in the direction of Yanbudu!

In the afternoon, just when everyone was exhausted, suddenly a Tsing Yi herald came down from Chigang and found Bai Yan to report that the group had caught a guard of Chen Tong, and that guy confessed that the last time he saw Chen Tong was in Shiniuzhai.

"That must have been running to the port!" Bai Yan jumped up and asked someone to give an order to any of the second divisions at the front to run along the port.

"Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find that guy!" Ren Er stood beside the galloping queue and yelled.

But to their disappointment, they searched almost every house along the port, but never found Chen Tong.

The people who came one after another searched again and still found nothing, Ren Er was a little anxious, and swore that he would use a saw to cut off Chen Tong's head after finding it.

Yang Yi thought calmly for a while. He looked in the direction of the dock, and the two cars and boats had already arrived.

And according to their understanding from the villagers around the wharf, in recent days, because of the war, they have seen Zhou Qin's naval fleet sweeping over, so the people are scared enough to see anyone driving out.

Moreover, in order to prevent their own losses, the nearby boatmen also hid their boats early or avoided them to the other side.

"Since there is no boat, and no one has ever sailed out, the man should not have been able to leave!" After Yang Yi finished speaking, he turned around and hugged his fist to Bai Yan and the others:

"If Chen Tong really escaped here, he should have hid nearby. Yang suggested that we search in the north and south directions along the coast, but if we still can't find it...... Then don't search for it yet."

"Huh? What do you mean?" A few of the leaders were surprised.

"Let's search for the third time, and we have to make a noise

If you make it bigger, you can't find someone else to say." Yang Yi smiled and came up with an idea: "If you can't find it, you will withdraw, leave your eyeliner, and then we will quietly touch it back when it gets dark."

"Oh, what does Yang Yingzheng mean to startle the snake first, and then catch the turtle in the urn? High!" Several of the lake bandits laughed and gave a thumbs up to the young regimental training camp.

"Who?"

"It's me, the little master." The reeds shook a few times, and the sweaty face of the guard appeared in front of Chen Tong.

He breathed a sigh of relief and asked reproachfully, "It's just a matter of fetching water, why did you come back?"

"There are a lot of people coming to the ferry, and there are few people in charge...... I think they're looking for you."

"Of course it's looking for me, such an important person has escaped, how should they explain to the county master?" Chen Tong laughed, and immediately distorted his face in pain.

He gritted his teeth and endured it, then gasped for air, his face pale. The little girl sitting next to him was so frightened that she hurriedly dodged backwards.

"What are you hiding? Why don't you hurry up and get a damp cloth and wipe it for the young master!" The guard whispered.

The girl trembled, kowtowed, untied the blue cloth wrapped around her head, turned around and soaked it in the water behind her, and came back to wipe the sweat on Chen Tong's forehead.

"Don't be afraid," Chen Tong grinned, "When I'm ready, take you two sisters to Shinao Village, and your father won't have to go out to work." At that time, the three of us slept together every day and didn't separate, okay?" He wanted to laugh as he spoke, and bared his teeth to endure the pain.

"Alas, you are like this, don't make fun of her!" The guards felt pity for the frightened little girl, sighed and said, "If you can't find the boat, you still can't get out." The group practiced a gong at the ferry and said, ......."

"Say what?"

"Whoever catches you and gives it up will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver." The guard glanced at him: "Alas, those gangsters are happy to hear this, and they are rummaging through the cabinets in the village."

"Ho, this works? Lao Tzu is not hiding in the cage!" Chen Tong twisted his body as he spoke, and beckoned to the girl: "Come, help me up, let me rest my head on your lap and talk to him."

"Go, go, I'll help you." The guards also came over to help Chen Tong with her, asked him to put his head away, and then fed him a few sips of water, saying:

"Don't be in charge, we have to hurry up and take the path back to the village as soon as possible. Although you have used invasive medicine for this injury, it can only be used for a while, and you must find a doctor as soon as possible."

"It's okay, I feel like I've slept a lot for two days!" Chen Tong sighed: "Who would have thought that such a person as my father would be stoned to death! I will take revenge for this!"

When the guards heard him, their eyes flickered slightly.

"Well, what, is there something you're hiding from me?" Chen Tonghu looked at him suspiciously.

"Nope. It is...... Just now, I saw a few people standing with the leader of the group and laughing, and it looked like a ...... from a distance It's like ......."

"Who is it?"

"It's like those in charge of Jinxi Lake."

Chen Tong didn't speak for a while, and then smashed his fist to the ground again and again, and his hand was soon pierced by the reed rod spread on the ground, and the blood flowed profusely.

"Don't be in charge, you, don't be like this, there is not much blood in your body, you can't waste it anymore!" The guards grabbed him and said, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have told you this."

"These traitors, traitors!" Chen Tong scolded hatefully: "When I go back, I swear that I must slaughter those villages, not a single one, absolutely nothing!" His eyes made the guards shudder.

It was getting dark, the reeds rattled, and the little girl's sister came in. "I'll change my sister and go back to dinner." She said in a trembling voice.

The woman's heart was full of fear, but she could not help but come home for her sister, and they took turns to be hostages, because they had to stay at home to take care of their mother, who was ill with eye disease.

The little girl disappeared into the reeds step by step, and the elder sister handed the bread she had brought to the guard, and sat down and hugged her knees almost curled up in a ball.

Last night, Chen Tong's hand was dishonest when he touched her all night, causing her to not sleep for half the night, and I don't know what will happen tonight.

But fortunately, she suddenly heard Chen Tong ask, "If there is no boat, is there a way to leave?"

"Yes, I can go and build a bamboo raft. You can't make a big one, but it's enough for two people!" The guard replied.

"Okay, let's build a bamboo raft."

"Is the young master all right?"

"It's okay, as long as I have a woman's body by my side!" Chen Tong laughed twice, stopped and said:

"When you're done eating, you go and set up a raft and come back to pick me up. The group didn't find them during the day, but I guess they didn't go far, and they should have been waiting for us with a net around.

Hurry up and leave while they are not too familiar with this area tonight, tomorrow will be difficult!"

"And what about her?" The guard asked.

Obviously, he was referring to this sister, and the girl's heart was "chuckling", and Chen Tong sneered and said:

"Leave one, of course, so as not to leak the news. We're leaving, do you want her to follow? Let her take us to the shore, and then let her go home by herself."
