Chapter 247: It's Too Late to See the Dog (22)
Just when this person who wrote the book was about to be pushed out of the door by Double Happiness and them, Li Zicheng suddenly took a step towards the door, and he shouted and asked, "You, what else do you have to leave, hurry up!"
The old peasant who came to break into the camp to write the book looked back at Li Zicheng and replied angrily: "So far, I still have to say? I came to write the book on the order of Cao Shuai, and the book has arrived, and I will die without regrets." But please don't miss a big thing, Cao Shuai will attack Tongguan from the east tomorrow!"
Then he turned his head and walked out like a donkey, and said to the brothers who were carrying him: "Go, cut off your head! ”
At this time, Mrs. Gao and Li Zicheng glanced at each other. She said to the people in the courtyard, "You can take him up for the time being, and then use his head to sacrifice the flag when the fifth watch leaves tomorrow." ”
Several people in the courtyard heard Gao's order, and hurriedly responded with a "Obey!" push, and shove people out of the gate. Zicheng glanced at Shuangxi and said, "Go, tell the brothers to get him something to eat, watch him carefully, and don't let him escape." ”
Li Zicheng walked around the house, silent, and his most confidant nephew Li Guo was not there, and even the double reed had to be played by himself, he was a little depressed at this time.
Madame Gao looked at him and asked cautiously, "Are you really sure that this person is a spy?"
"Ten stops have been decided on six or seven stops, such as today's thing, we have no evidence in our hands, how can we completely conclude it?" he smiled bitterly, and added, "Whether he is a spy or not, we also know two important news from his mouth." ”
"Do you mean that the Manchu Tartars surrounded Beijing, and Chongzhen sent Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to King Qin? What else is there any news?" asked Gao Shi as he pondered
"Another piece of news is that we know that Hong Chengchou has left Xi'an. After analyzing it, I think this news should be true. When he spoke, he also thought of the results of his nephew's analysis with himself, and Li Guo also analyzed that once the Qing army entered the Kou, Hong and Sun must lead the troops to King Qin, otherwise they would despise Chongzhen's prestige, and in the face of a stubborn and arrogant, and always suspicious master, the price for them not to go to King Qin is a bit big.
"However, I don't have a clue where Hong Chengchou left Xi'an and went, whether he went to King Qinwang in Beijing or came to Tongguan to wait for us. With that, he sat back in his chair.
At the same time as Li Zicheng made an analysis, Li Chixin crawled out of the messy roof and gray stone pile, and pulled out the Hong family and his son. At this time, Hong's face was pale, and she looked at the roof covered with bullet marks tremblingly, she knew that she had made a big disaster, none of the generals in the army were good-tempered, and it was impossible for a good-tempered person to go into battle with a knife, so the sentence of beating a child on a rainy day should be added with a suffix, and beating a child and wife on a rainy day.
Taking the gun in Hong's hand, Li Chixin didn't see the rain outside the house, this is on the second floor of the basement, and the moisture-proof and soundproof sound insulation in the secret room is done in all aspects, obviously it was done by professionals, otherwise there was a gunshot here, and he immediately shouted "raise his hand", and let himself carefully look at this light machine gun of unknown origin.
He didn't have the heart to comfort his frightened son now, anyway, there was nothing wrong with letting the little guy be honest for a while. Familiar with the guns in his hands, he naturally needed the help of the 'wave', and when he stuffed the pistols he had seized from the drug dealers into his military bag with the help of the Red clan's trembling hands, it was already midnight outside.
At midnight, the lights were still on in Dujiazhai, and Li Zicheng was still thinking about this hob-like bookkeeper in the old camp, and he muttered to himself, "...... If only I could figure it out. ”
Li Shuangxi, who had just returned to the house from outside the hospital, interjected: "Otherwise, let people beat him severely, and I'm afraid that he won't tell the truth?"
Li Zicheng shook his head with displeasure: "Such a person can't tell the truth if he fights." Even if I scared him by cutting off his head, he didn't panic, this person is clearly an outlaw who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, maybe he risked his life under Sun Chuanting's heavy reward to be a spy. Besides, I am not 100% sure that he is indeed a spy, so I will not beat him tonight, but tell the brothers who are watching him to be careful. ”
"How can you conclude that he is a spy sent by Sun Chuanting?" asked Mrs. Gao, "Is it because the date of the attack on Tongguan is too coincidental?"
Li Zicheng smiled, leaned closer to the fire and said, "It's not just that the date is too coincidental. Do you think that Cao Cao was very tactful, and since he didn't know that we were indeed carrying out the practice, was he willing to rashly march to Tongguan? Today is different from previous years. Today, the officers and troops have the upper hand everywhere, and Cao Cao will never attack Tongguan without being very sure. Taking a step back, even if he decided to attack Tongguan on the 17th, he would only bring me a message, and would never write it in a book. Wouldn't he have thought that if this wax pill book was found out by the officers and soldiers on the road, wouldn't he suffer a big loss? If our old brother was so honest, he wouldn't have been nicknamed Cao Cao!"
Gao also smiled and nodded: "What's more, there are many people in Cao Cao's place who are familiar with us, and suddenly sent someone who we don't know, so we can't help but be suspicious." ”
At the same time, Li Zicheng also believed that according to Cao Cao's urine nature, he relied on his large number of men and horses, and he might really attack Tongguan tomorrow, not to mention that this old man's carelessness was not once or twice, and it was not impossible to write the date of the internal and external attack in the secret book.
Li Zicheng also speculated, "As for why Cao Cao didn't send an acquaintance to write the book, it is estimated that it is because he can't find a suitable person for a while, so it is better to send a Lingbao native to come, it is easier to mix the investigation of the official army and the village brave." ”
Li Zicheng and his wife Gao were relatively speechless, and both of them were repeatedly thinking about the details they had just obtained from the questioning. The more I thought about the news I had just gotten, the more worried Li Zicheng became, "Where is Hong Chengchou? Where is Cao Cao? Will he be able to rush out of the vicinity of Tongguan smoothly tomorrow......?"
This series of questions weighed heavily on his heart. It wasn't until Li Zicheng's personal soldiers brought dinner that he said a word to Li Qiang, who was waiting by his side: "Hurry up and send someone to urge a few elders to discuss matters in the old camp! In addition, let people go to Tian Jiangye's camp to have a look, and if everyone is there, let them come over quickly." ”
