Chapter 020: Escort Mayi City

The most strange suspicion is that Guo Zhong was the general of the hussars of the dynasty and the chief general of Yanmen Pass, and the whereabouts of his family returning to Chang'an, Kyoto, including the time and path of travel, escorts, etc., are all highly military secrets.

How did the Turks know in advance and set up an ambush in advance?

Hundreds of Turkic elite horsemen, disguised as horse bandits, dispersed from outside the pass and infiltrated into the territory of the Final Jin Dynasty, set up an ambush more than 100 miles deep, and then were able to calmly withdraw by separate routes.

If there is no cooperation of the big traitors who hold military power, how can it be done?

Guo Zhong should have thought of these things afterwards, and with his wisdom, he locked up the suspicious targets.

"I haven't heard my father talk about it, my father was seriously injured at the time and has been in a semi-coma." Xiuniang replied.

Of course, she deliberately concealed it, and her father told her many inside stories, including who the suspected mole was?

However, due to the suspicion of a traitor, her identity is very sensitive, and she is still in a high position, she can't easily expose these, and she still needs to find an opportunity to secretly observe and investigate.

Otherwise, your life will be in danger at any time.

"Later, Linghu's father told me that my grandfather Guo Xiang and other Guo clan members were investigated and imprisoned by Emperor Yongchang, and I could only stay in Shiyao Village."

Han Mingda nodded yes, took a sip of tea and continued to ask, "Then how dare you reveal your identity tonight?" ”

"In the past few years, I have been secretly concerned about the situation, a few days ago I heard that the new emperor ascended the throne, grandpa and other Guo clan officials were reinstated, I am preparing to go to Mayi County in the near future, looking for the yamen to show their identity, looking for ancestors to return to their ancestors." Xiuniang said.

"Then why haven't I seen you leave home yet?"

Xiuniang smiled bitterly and said:

"Of course, it is for Linghu Dalang, who has been involved in gambling and defeated in the past two years, forcing his parents to death, and he is deeply guilty. Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly found that he had changed for the better, perhaps because of the comfort of Father Linghu's spirit in the sky, hoping that I would not leave his only son behind. ”

"Father Linghu is as kind to me as Guo Xiuniang, this time he was bitten by a black bear and died, in the final analysis, it is also to save me, if I don't look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, how can I go against his old man's wishes?"

"Linghu Po went into the mountains to hunt this time, saying that he encountered a pack of wolves, he shot it, and picked up ten taels of silver, do you know this?" Han Mingda began to cut into Ling Hupo.

"You know, the night he came home, that is, last night, he told me everything that happened."

"What did he say?" Han Mingda leaned forward, his eyes fixed on Xiuniang.

Xiuniang told her what Linghu Po told her that night, and turned it to the side as it was.

"How to say, the Eagle Beak Mountain horse bandit was the first time he met him, not only saved his life, the female bandit leader named Yingzi also gave him ten taels of official ingots, but he bit to death in Wolf Tooth Town and said that the official ingots were picked up by him in the valley, and he didn't mention the horse bandits at all, can you believe his words?" Han Mingda's eyes were blazing.

Xiuniang grinned and sneered, "Lord Han, just these ten taels of official ingots have made Da Lang jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it away, if he mentions the rescue of the horse bandits in Eagle Beak Mountain and the matter of the encounter, I'm afraid that the crime of gangsters is already ironclad, is it possible to cry out for injustice?" ”

Han Mingda smiled awkwardly and said in a deep voice:

"This is your sixth uncle's military salary, which is related to the reputation of the Guo family, of course you have to investigate the truth, and in addition, your true identity is not clear to Hupo in advance?"

"Lord Han, what flows in my body is the blood of the Guo family, the Guo family has been loyal and good for generations, if Ling Hupo dares to cooperate with bandits, Xiuniang will never tolerate adultery. In addition, my identity made Father Fox keep his promise, and he didn't reveal it until he died, even my adoptive mother didn't know, how could Da Lang know?! Xiuniang raised her eyebrows and asked rhetorically:

"Lord Han, please tell me, when and where was my sixth uncle's military salary robbed?"

"It happened by a coincidence that the evening five days ago was in the valley where your whole family was ambushed five years ago." Han Mingda raised his eyebrows, his eyes blazing.

"In the evening five days ago, Linghu Po was by my side, that is, from that day on, he began to get better, the next morning, he went into the back mountain to hunt, came back in the evening, hunted three hares and two pheasants, and had a conflict with the Mo family, and Lord Li Zheng was also present at that time."

Han San nodded yes.

"As for the location, it is even more outrageous, the place where the incident occurred is about 500 miles away from Shiyao Village, even if you run on horseback, it will take two days."

Xiu Niang was sharp and retorted.

Han Mingda was speechless.

If it weren't for Xiuniang's special identity, how could he have the patience to listen to so much, Ling Hupo would definitely be dead.

At least, he caught a scapegoat, and Guo Rui could explain to him first.

As for whether or not to encircle and suppress Eagle's Beak Mountain, it doesn't matter to him.

"Okay Miss Guo, you persuaded me, but the final decision on this matter is still with your sixth uncle, General Guo Rui, I can immediately send someone to Langya Town, order the interrogation of Linghu Po to be stopped, send a military doctor to treat his injuries, and escort him to Mayi City early tomorrow morning."

"In addition, the eldest lady, tomorrow morning, this official will return to the city to resume his life, please follow this official and go to General Ma Yi's Mansion together, how about it?"

Han Mingda expressed his attitude and made a request.

In any case, he helped the Guo family find the daughter of the hussar general, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Since then, he has climbed the big tree of the Guo family, and in the future, his career will be smooth, and it should be no problem to be promoted and make a fortune.

"The little woman obeyed, so she said goodbye and went home, and sorted out her belongings." Xiuniang stood up and saluted.

"Okay, please go."

Han Mingda got up and personally delivered it to the door of the house, and asked the two family members to carry the lantern to shine on Xiuniang and return home.

……

At the end of November, the city of Mayi was shrouded in snow.

Ling Hupo was dressed in a cotton coat that was not new, and then wrapped in the wolfskin robe, sitting under the long dried grape trellis in the courtyard, on a stone bench, and looked around the wall grass boredly.

It has been half a month since he came to the county seat, and he was initially confused, and he should have lived in General Mayi's mansion.

When he came, he was covered with bruises and his skin was not complete.

That day, under the Eight Immortals Building, he was surrounded by more than a dozen guards who rushed out of the building, and he was directly confused and at a loss.

The crowd at the scene was also stunned and fled in all directions.

"What are you doing here? I'm here to see the lame man, is he upstairs? Linghu Po said loudly.

He recognized these people as Hades' personal guards.

"Don't bother, take off your wolf robes and give it to me." The head of the guard, armed with a ring-headed sword, said in a vicious voice.

It's this wolf robe again, and this time it's going to provoke whom.

The Turks regard wolves as their ancestors, but is Hades also afraid of wolves?

In front of the Turks, you can not fade, but under the eyes of the king of Hades, you can't take it off, he is the living 'king of Hades' here.

Take it off, who's afraid of whom!

Ling Hupo muttered in his mouth, took off his wolf robe, and threw it to the guard.

The guy reached into his pocket and took out the ten taels of ingots from inside.
