Jiang Tianliu was anxious, the matter that he had promised Chu Qing and Jing Tang was not easy for him to do, he transferred troops into the city at night, blocked the four gates, and checked the suspicious past business travel, although he found an excuse to search for the rebels, but it was not easy to explain if he really wanted to investigate.

After all, he is only a captain of the army, and if he dares to transfer troops into the city without notice, it is easy for someone to be accused of rebellion.

Fortunately, the two superiors, the county guard and the commander of the army, are old and don't care much about things, and if there is no emergency, the two old guys at night will not leave the mansion easily.

Even so, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible and dragged on until dawn, if someone goes to the county guard yamen to complain and make trouble, it will be troublesome.

Chu Qing and the others finally arrived, Jiang Tianliu stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Why did you come, I have already controlled all the inns and hotels, and the passing travelers and merchants have also been checked, according to what you said, all the business travelers from Qingzong County have been seized, and the rest of the people who have crossed Guangzong County from other places are also guarded in the inn!"

"That's good, the rest of the matter will have to be done by the adults themselves. Wang Shoucai hurriedly smiled.

Jiang Tianliu glared: "Who are you, dare to command this official!"

Wang Shoucai frowned and said nothing, Chu Qing smiled and said: "This Wang Yuanwai is my friend, and the whole plan was also planned by him." ”

Jiang Tianliu was secretly annoyed, and when he heard Chu Qing say this, he said unhappily: "Brother Chu is too ignorant, he wants me to lead troops into the city, why did I think it was a big deal, it turned out to be to help this fat man?"

Jing Tang hurriedly said: "Brother Jiang, this matter also has something to do with us, not exactly to help him." ”

Jiang Tianliu waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, I know, in short, I have to withdraw my troops back to the camp before dawn, what should I do, you can say it quickly!"

Wang Shoucai accompanied the smiling face and said carefully: "Those merchants from Qingzong County are likely to carry things that do not belong to them, with the official authority of the adults, they only need to come forward and strictly order them to hand them over, they must not dare to disobey, and if they can't do it, they can only search one by one......"

"Search one by one, how many merchants are there from Qingzong County?" Jiang Tianliu sneered: "This royal member must be a gangster, do you treat these sergeants under me as bandits, if these people go to the county guard mansion to make noise later, who will take care of them?"

Wang Shoucai was silent, just looked at Chu Qing, hoping that he would come forward to speak.

Chu Qing asked Wang Shoucai in a low voice: "How many people carry medicinal materials, and how many cherish medicinal materials?"

"How many people, I don't know, there are about seven or eight copies of cherished medicinal materials, and no more than ten copies at most. Wang Shoucai said in a low voice.

Chu Qing thought for a while and pulled Jiang Tianliu aside: "Brother Jiang, let's not hide it, those people in Qingzong County are likely to have what we need, they are some precious medicinal materials, we can spend money to redeem them, one thousand taels of silver for each copy, those people also do these things because of money, they must have handed it over by themselves." ”

Saying that, Chu Qing began to take out the gold and silver from the lucky bag in his arms, and the gold and silver ingots the size of a fist were constantly taken out, and he took out almost 20,000 taels of gold and silver before stopping, and whispered to Jiang Tianliu: "I estimate that it will cost at most 10,000 taels, and the remaining almost 10,000 taels will be used as tea money for Brother Jiang and his sergeants." ”

Jiang Tianliu was also stunned when he saw this large pile of gold and silver: "Where do you have so much money, what can you fit on you?"

Chu Qingyi arched his hand: "Brother Jiang, don't ask so much first, and I'll talk to you slowly after the matter is done." ”

Wang Shoucai had already understood when he saw Chu Qing taking out gold and silver, so he hurriedly came over and whispered a few words in Chu Qing's ear; Chu Qing nodded, and told Jiang Tianliu some of the main points.

Jiang Tianliu hesitated slightly, nodded, and instructed the guards around him to take the gold and silver, and strode towards the urn city.

Those detained merchants of Qingzong County were all detained in the urn city, and Chu Qing could hear Jiang Tianliu's loud words from afar: "Everyone! Ren Dongbai, a native of Gaoshan County, Qingzong County, colluded with robbers and committed rebellion, and has now been killed by the government in the fish and meat township; this official has been secretly reported, and the evidence and stolen goods, especially some precious medicinal materials, are on you people; I know that you are all good people, and you have been deceived by that thief to do such a foolish thing, if you know that you can change your mistakes, this official promises not to be investigated, not only will not be investigated, but those who hand over the stolen goods will also be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

Those Qingzong merchants in the urn city, you look at me, I look at you, they each whispered, and it was noisy and chaotic for a while......

Jiang Tianliu reprimanded again: "This official is acting on orders, but he doesn't have so much patience to chat with you here, and if you don't hand over the stolen goods, I will order the sergeants to search, if the stolen goods are found, hehe, then you will be guilty of the same crime as the traitors!"

The sergeants shouted in unison: "Hand over the stolen goods, reward a thousand taels of silver;

Where could those merchants withstand such a lure and intimidation, and soon some people stepped forward and handed over the things they were carrying, some took the lead, and others followed suit, and these people handed over the stolen goods and received a bounty of a thousand taels of silver, which was equivalent to making a fortune.

"Report to my lord, Ren Dongbai's thief also gave me some things to bring with me, I didn't know that they were stolen goods, I hid those things under the floor of the inn. "There is that shrewd and stubborn who saw that his accomplices had made a fortune, and he couldn't help but confess.

Jiang Tianliu ordered the two sergeants: "You two, take him to get the things back immediately!"

The two sergeants hurriedly escorted the man and hurried away.

In less than an hour, Jiang Tianliu got things done and came back with eight wooden or jade boxes.

"I've got back what you wanted, and I've already released the people, if nothing else, I'm going to withdraw the army!" Jiang Tianliu said loudly.

Wang Shoucai smiled and stepped forward to pick up the boxes: "It's okay, it's okay, my lord is happy, withdraw the army......"

Jiang Tianliu glared: "You dodge, I'm doing my two brothers a favor, and the silver is also from Brother Chu!"

As he spoke, he handed the eight boxes to Chu Qing, blinked, and said with a wicked smile: "Brother, I don't owe you any favor." ”

"That's natural, Brother Jiang has helped a lot!" Chu Qing hurriedly took the box and put it into the lucky bag in his arms.

Wang Shoucai's eyes were hook-like, and he hated to hook into Chu Qing's flesh......

Jiang Tianliu did not want to stay in the city for a long time, so he ordered two guards to go to the county guard mansion to report, and then ordered the army to gather and withdraw from the county seat of Guangzong.

As soon as Jiang Tianliu left, Wang Shoucai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Chu Daoyou, those medicinal materials should still be placed next to me, right?"

"Why?" Chu Qing smiled: "Wang Daoyou doesn't believe us, since it's a partnership, isn't it the same on whom?"

Wang Shoucai hurriedly said: "I can get these medicinal materials, but they are all my intelligence news, and I ...... for this."

Chu Qing nodded: "I know that you provided the information, but the matter was done by me and Jing Tang, so this is called cooperation." ”

Wang Shoucai was so angry that the fat on his face trembled, he lowered his head, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jing Tang strode behind Chu Qing and stated his position: "Chu Daoyou is right, since it is cooperation, things are the same for everyone. ”

"Okay, good!" Wang Shoucai reluctantly squeezed a smile and said: "Wang is a little tired, go to the city inn to rest first, the two Taoist friends now have money, and their wings are also stiff, so I don't need to arrange food and accommodation." ”

Chu Qing said with a smile: "Wang Daoyou, what are you talking about, you just go and rest, and we'll see you at the dock tomorrow." ”

Wang Shoucai waved his hand and didn't look back, and the young servant hurriedly followed.

Jing Tang saw Wang Shoucai walking away, and asked Chu Qingdao: "This fat man seems to be very unhappy, will he leave us and go by himself?"

Chu Qing smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly: "It's okay if he really wants to leave like this, I didn't buy a single medicinal herb from the Autumn Garden yesterday, I think, it's impossible for us to gather enough precious medicinal materials for the three of us to participate in the Shennong Summit." ”

"You mean, let's do it ourselves?" Jing Tang asked hurriedly.

Chu Qing nodded: "There is enough information about these medicinal materials on the Shennong Order, and now that we have the Shennong Order, we don't need to partner with him anymore, after all, this guy doesn't seem to be a good person." ”

Jing Tang thought for a while and said with a smile: "I listen to you!"
