Chapter 136: Asking for merit and losing his life

Nickbell looked through the records of the entry and exit of the water wheels in and out of the city gates, and never found that he had entered and exited twice in one morning, so he made detailed inquiries about the officers and soldiers of the garrison and the chief who were on duty that day.

After understanding the situation, someone found the old man who hauled the water and brought it back to the yamen, but the old man had to confess for torture.

The old man was also benevolent and did not recruit Andy Xing'er and his wife, which allowed the two to escape.

It was only said that the three of the Alayan Sect threatened him halfway and demanded his life if they did not pull them out of the city. In this way, under the coercion of the other party, they had to put them into wooden barrels and go out of the city.

Because they didn't want to have another incident, since the three of them went out of the city, they didn't report to the official.

Nickbell believed that none of the people who came to this gate dared to tell nonsense, so he believed the old man's confession, and after beating him with ten sticks, he let him go.

Now that it has been determined that Alayanzong has left the royal city, if he goes outside the city to track down, if there is no clear clue, it will not be a needle in a haystack?

At this time, he thought of the convoy of grain and grass, which must be a very valuable clue. Because the old man who was dripping with water also said that after the three men came out of the barrel, they clashed with the people of the convoy.

Just as Nickbell was about to investigate the situation of the convoy, the official who had gone to Ded Manor to deliver the edict happened to take Jerrha back to the royal city.

He learned that Yeluha knew the Alayanzong and knew that the three had gone in the direction of Qiaoluxi Bird City, so he hurriedly asked for an order, and took two black-clothed Jinwei and Yeluha to set off together to chase the three of Alayanzong along the road leading to Qiaoluxi Bird City.

Knowing that the three of Alayanzong also rode horses, they wanted to ride fast horses and go straight to Qiao Luxi Bird City, but because of the shortcut they took, the horses ran fast, and when they walked until noon, they saw a small village in front of them, so they wanted to find a farmer to rest.

Coincidentally, I saw smoke coming from a chimney, and thought I could have a hot meal, so I went to disturb him.

When Nickbell and the others entered the courtyard, they saw a young girl boiling medicine by the stove, so they went into the house and asked if they had eaten or drunk.

The girl was none other than the peach of Ula, and when she saw a few people enter the courtyard, she hurriedly added some firewood under the clay pot. The visitor soon entered the house again, and she got up to talk.

Because of the light, the leader was a tall and mighty man, who shadowed the diminutive Jeruha behind him.

But Na Yerah saw it clearly, recognized Ula Peach at a glance, and whispered to Nikobel behind her, "Catch her, this is the woman who committed the crime!"

Nick Bell asked Ullah in his mouth, "Do you have anything to eat?"

Ula Peach thought that the little porridge in the pot was reserved for the Alayan Sect, and now there were several people, where was there enough to eat, and when he was hesitating how to answer, Nick Bell had already reached out and touched her acupoint.

Ulla's peach didn't resist, and he was tied up before he could shout. As Nick Bell pulled her out, she kicked down a medicine jar.

A man in black left another note, and hid the peach of Ullah into the elm forest.

Nick Bell's idea was very simple, he felt that in this way, he could quietly capture Alayanzong and bring him to justice, and he didn't need to alarm the people in the village, so he never thought that he would lose three lives, and his dream of being promoted to an official and making a fortune was shattered.

Seeing that he had failed to kill the Alayan Sect, Nayeha was afraid that he would not let him go, so he fled in a hurry.

It was important to escape, and after running for a while, I saw that no one was chasing me, so I put my heart in my stomach. But at first glance, he didn't complete the task this time, how could he go back and give him a headache? What kind of reasons did he make up?

After eating the porridge that the peach of Ula had reserved for him, Alayanzong washed the clay pot again, filled it with herbs and boiled another medicinal soup, and some of the patients did not take medicine today.

Seeing Ula Peach guarding the clay pot and adding firewood, Alayanzong sat aside, but his mind was thinking about other things.

Jerah has fled, their whereabouts have been exposed, and they must not stay here for long, but must leave.

Originally, I planned to go to Qiao Luxi Bird City, but when I got here, I had a place to live, a villager, a sick person to see, a fish to hunt, and a land to cultivate. It's also a good choice to be able to put down roots here.

But people are not as good as heaven, and they were eventually chased by the officials, and if they continue to stay here, they may affect the villagers, so it is better to leave early.

Now that there are five horses, the three of them naturally don't need so much, they can ride up to three horses, what to do with the remaining two horses?

Now is the farming period, and it is said that staying in the village can help the villagers to open up the wasteland and farm.

But this is a military horse, and after letting the officers and soldiers know, it will bring death to the villagers. It is better to slaughter it and eat it by the villagers, although it is a little unbearable, but it is also a last resort.

At this time, Allah Xiaoer, who had led the people to Yulin to dispose of the corpses, returned, and after sending the other two away, Alayanzong left only Gulzai behind.

The idea of leaving the village was put together. Gulzai was naturally reluctant, but there was no other clever way.

Speaking of killing two horses, Gulzai said: "Although people don't have much food, they are now able to catch enough fresh fish every day, and it is not to the point where they have to kill horses. ”

Alayanzong analyzed: "Med's Manor or the imperial court will send people here to harass in the short term. If you want to keep a horse, you must not keep it here. It's a lonely village, where can you hide your horses?"

Gulzai slapped his thigh, "How did we forget, there is a great place to keep horses." Go west to the dirt mountain ten miles, the soil is fertile and the grass is just right for raising horses, and the horses will be raised there for a month, and then they will be brought back to the village after this gust of wind, and there will be no danger. ”

Alayanzong thought that this was a really good expedient measure, but that someone would like to live in the mountains and be with the horses.

Gulzai volunteered: "This is easy to do, I just want to go, good mountains, good waters, good flowers and grass, how pleasant!"

Alayanzong shook his head, "You can't go, you still have to manage the villagers, and you need to coordinate the distribution of a lot of food." Go back and ask who would like to go to the mountains to see the horses, and then build a hut there so that they can have a temporary shelter from the wind and rain. ”

Gulzai felt that the project was not small, and it really needed to be well calculated.

Alayanzong said: "Today we have to confirm who lives in the mountains, and tomorrow we will go to the mountains to build a shack and hide the horses as soon as possible, maybe the officials will come in the next two days." ”

His fears were justified, and in fact they were.
