Chapter 45: It's time to play the cards
How so? The face in front of him cannot be said to be completely similar, but can only be said to be exactly the same. Shao Xi has known Lao Wu for ten years, but he has only heard him mention that he has the ability to disguise himself, but he has never seen it. Today's hand really suppressed Shao Xi, why did this old guy want to be a thief back then? Is it bad to open a plastic surgery hospital?
Lao Wu looked at Zhao Qiaoyun for a while, and nodded with satisfaction. Packed up the tools used by Yi Rong and rolled them into a cloth bag, I don't know where these things came from, I only know that Lao Wu said last night that he would prepare for them.
After everything was done, Lao Wu instructed Zhao Qiaoyun: "When you go out of the city for a while, sit on the horse and don't speak, and I will hold your reins, because I am your servant." Leave anything to me and Zhang Zhutou to deal with, don't forget that you are a man now, control your expression. ”
Zhao Qiaoyun kept nodding obediently, and when Lao Wu saw her like this, he shook his head helplessly and instructed again: "You are wrong now, at this moment you have to regard yourself as the young master of my family, when you need to nod, you just need to nod slowly, don't be like a chicken pecking rice." ”
Speaking of which, this Zhao Qiaoyun can be regarded as smart and clever. As soon as Lao Wu said this, she immediately understood, and this nod was quite Shao Xi's appearance.
"Alright, let's hurry up! Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late to change. Young Master, you just stay here, and then find a way to come back and pick you up when I send Miss Zhao to Qingshan City. Lao Wu turned his head and said to Shao Xi.
"You don't have to worry about me, even if they want to catch me in this city, it's not that easy. After sending Miss Zhao to Qingshan City, he led troops and horses over to encircle and suppress the bandits as soon as possible, I think that Yan Song has now become a frightened bird, if he doesn't capture him quickly, it is very likely that he will find an opportunity to escape. ”
After Lao Wu nodded in response, he and Zhang Chong left Zhang's house with Zhao Qiaoyun and rushed towards the south gate of Wanxian County.
Shao Xi watched the three of them leave, and he still felt like he was going up and down. I don't know if they can get away with it, after all, now Yan Song is already suspicious of them, I don't know if there will be any mistakes when they leave the city?
Speaking of Lao Wu and his entourage, they came all the way to the South City Gate. I saw that a group of officials were checking the people who went out of the city one by one, and it seemed that Yan Song was afraid that Zhao Qiaoyun would leave Wanxian, so he specially arranged for people to guard the city gate.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Chong took two steps to greet him first, and talked with the officials at the door, which seemed very natural.
"The brothers tossed all night and haven't gone back to rest? It's a really hard job. ”
One of the leaders saw that it was Zhang Chong, and hurriedly ran over to salute.
"Oh, it turned out to be Zhang Tou'er. Why didn't you go back to rest? Our brothers originally said that it was very hard to make a fuss all night, and we drank a few cups together to relieve fatigue for a while, but I didn't know that I had fallen on such an errand again, and there was really no way. ”
"How many drinks? That's a good feeling! When I send these two adults out of the city, I will come back and invite my brothers to have a few drinks together. These days are also tossed enough, and you have to treat yourself. ”
Zhang Chong probably glanced at a few officials in the vicinity, and they were all familiar with each other on weekdays, and he suddenly felt a lot more relieved.
"Zhang Tou'er invites everyone to drink, that's great! Zhang Tou'er, you're sending the two adults of 'Jing Chengsi', right? ”
"That's right, that's right. I won't talk to you yet, I'll finish the errand first, send the two adults away first, and let's get together when we come back. ”
"Gotcha! We're waiting for you to come back. ”
After saying that, he turned his head and asked a few officials behind him to get out of the way, so that Zhang Chong could send the two "adults" out of the city.
"It's Zhang Chong in front, Zhang Zhutou?"
Zhang Chong was about to take the two out of the city, but was stopped by a group of officials who came from the west. Zhang Chong looked at the voice and couldn't help frowning.
The group of people who came over were all arranged to enter the county government after Yan Song took over as the county order, and they must have been bandits, who were arrogant and domineering in the government on weekdays, and they didn't even give him face as a head catcher. Now that I have encountered this group of guys at this juncture, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble.
"Yo! Isn't this Lao Liu? Why didn't you go back to rest? ”
The leader named Lao Liu bared his teeth and scolded: "Rest a fart!" I don't know where the mourning star came from, so I can't die and rob the young lady. It caused our brother to not sleep all night, and now he has to patrol around, which is really unlucky. ”
"Not really! Just now, I told my brothers that everyone had worked hard all night, and when I sent these two 'Jing Chengsi' out of the city, I went back to restore my life to Lord Zhao, so I invited my brothers to have a few drinks together. Lao Liu, you are also with us! ”
When Zhang Chong said this, he deliberately said the three words "Jing Chengsi" very seriously. It means to tell the other party that I was sent out of the city by the order of the county commander, and you had better not make trouble.
'Oh?' Keishoji's lord? ”
That Lao Liu walked up to Lao Wu and Zhao Qiaoyun's horses, circled around them, and looked the two up and down.
Zhao Qiaoyun was so frightened that his face was expressionless at this time, while Lao Wu was sitting on the horse and drinking a little wine leisurely, without even looking at Lao Liu.
Lao Liu turned around, and saw that it was indeed the two people who went to the house to drink yesterday, but they just changed their clothes. Then he turned his head to Zhang Chong and said, "Drink a fart wine, if you can let Lao Tzu go back to sleep at this time, it is better than anything else." Gone, gone! ”
Zhang Chong sent this group away, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. So he accompanied Lao Wu and Zhao Qiaoyun out of the city gate and went to the official road.
After walking for a while, Zhang Chong bowed his hand to Lao Wu and said, "Lord Wu, from here you can reach Qingshan City by walking all the way along the official road to the south, and I hope that Lord Hu will lead troops to exterminate the bandits as soon as possible." Lord Shao is still in the city, and the villain is really not at ease, so let's go back and take a look, and we will say goodbye. ”
"Zhang Zhutou, be careful in everything. If something happens, remember to take care of yourself, and I'll go back quickly. Went first. ”
After speaking, Lao Wu arched his hand to Zhang Chong, and took Zhao Qiaoyun to gallop all the way south.
Watching Lao Wu and the two gradually move away, Zhang Chong turned around and returned to the city.
In order to cover Shao Xi and reduce the search and arrest in the south of the city, Zhang Chong summoned almost all the officials who were patrolling in the south of the city to the tavern to drink after returning to the palace.
At this time, Shao Xi found a set of old clothes to change into at Zhang Chong's house, with a hat on his head, and the whole person looked like a coolie working in the market.
Leaving Zhang Chong's house, he came all the way to a place not far from the gate of the county office, and found an inconspicuous place to squat down and stare at the movements of the county office. There is another reason for coming here, that is, it is dark under the lights, and it is estimated that Yan Song never dreamed that Shao Xi was near the mansion at this moment.
After squatting outside the county office for a whole day, Yan Song did not see any movement, and the sky was almost dusk, and the vendors in the market began to pack up their things and go home. Shao Xi looked at the sky, got up and returned to Zhang Chong's house.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhang Chong falling asleep on the bed. It's no wonder that after tossing all night yesterday and drinking most of the day's wine during the day, no one can bear it.
Seeing that Zhang Chong was sleeping soundly, Shao Xi suddenly felt very sleepy, after all, he hadn't slept for a day and a night. So he pulled a chair over, leaned on it, and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Shao Xi was awakened by some small voices. He listened carefully, there were people in front of and behind the house, above and below the house, and it seemed that Zhang Chong's house had been fenced up. Shao Xi hurriedly got up gently, leaned against the wall at the door, and quietly listened to the sound outside.
"He should still be asleep at this time, let's just break in and get someone."
"This guy's martial arts are not bad, we have to be careful not to capsize the boat."
"Don't worry, he's drunk during the day today, and he shouldn't be awake yet."
As the words fell, only a "bang" was heard, the door was kicked open, and two figures rushed into the room and went straight to Zhang Chong on the bed.
Shao Xi hid by the door, behind the two at this time. The body gently leaned forward, and when he came to the two of them, he reached out and grabbed the belts of the two people, twisted his body, and threw the two of them from the door back to the door one after the other. I only heard an exclamation from outside the door, probably because I didn't expect the people in this room to be prepared.
Zhang Chong was also awakened by the sound of kicking the door at this time. As soon as he sat up, he saw Shao Xi throwing the two people out of the door, and he was also confused, not knowing what was going on.
I only heard a strict and loose voice from outside the door, and the tone sounded like it was someone who came to Xingshi to ask for sin.
"Zhang Chong! You're so daring. I can't imagine that you secretly colluded with thieves pretending to be court officials to infiltrate the palace, kill my son-in-law, and kidnap my daughter Zhao Qiaoyun. What are you guilty of? ”
In fact, what Yan Song said is not wrong at all, the two people Zhang Chong colluded with are indeed two imposters, but Yan Song himself does not seem to be an original genuine product. This set of thieves shouted to catch the thief, Shao Xi really deducted a wave of "666" for him from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Chong didn't dare to go out, but shouted outside the door in the house: "Lord Zhao, did you misunderstand?" In the small daytime, I was sent by you to send the two adults of the 'Keijoji' out of the city. Now why do you say that the villain colluded with the thieves to kill your son-in-law and kidnap the young lady? ”
"You don't have to quibble, that little slut of Pomegranate has confessed all. Last night, it was you and those two who infiltrated the mansion to kill Xu Jinhong and kidnap my daughter. If you are a wise man, you will obediently come out and be bound by yourself, and if you want us to do a lot of trouble, you can only blame yourself for your own suffering. ”
Shao Xixin said badly! Why did you forget the pomegranate girl? What kind of smart person is Yan Song? I think it has been guessed that the leakage of the news is related to the contact between Lao Wu and pomegranates at the banquet the day before yesterday. Now it must be tortured to extract a confession from the girl of the pomegranate, and the pomegranate can't be tortured, so he has to tell the truth.
Now, all the hole cards have been opened, there is no secret between each other, there is no need to hide it, just play the cards directly.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi jumped out of the door, landed in the courtyard, and stood with his hands in his hands. Zhang Chong also drew his saber and followed.
Yan Song was taken aback when he saw that it was Shao Xi, "Haven't you already left the city?" Why is this here? ”
"Guess!"
