Chapter 118

Liang Dehao’s expression changed: “How dare he!”

Long Da didn’t speak, just stared at those two people.

Liang Dehao was so angry that he pointed at these two people and shouted: “Tie them up and take them back to the camp for strict interrogation. I must report to the emperor and punish Prime Minister Luo for his crimes.”

A guard responded and went to look for the rope at the horse in the distance. The two assassins knelt there, not daring to move.

Long Dahu asked: “When did Prime Minister Luo issue the order?”

An assassin replied: “When Master Liang led the troops to leave the capital, Prime Minister Luo ordered us to follow. When Master Liang is far away from the capital, we will look for opportunities to strike.”

Liang Dehao was furious: “It’s unreasonable! He wants to rebel!”

Long Da asked again: “The eight of you, all followed all the way from the capital?”

The assassin replied: “Yes.”

Long Da asked again: “How do you know Master Liang is here?”

The assassin replied: “We have been keeping an eye on your lord’s whereabouts. Seeing that he went out with only three guards, we felt that the opportunity had come, so we followed.”

“Do you know who I am?”

The two assassins looked at each other, and one said cautiously, “General Long.”

“When did you recognize me?”

The two assassins looked at each other again, and one said: “When the general arrived at the inn, we paid attention.”

At this moment, the guard found a rope and came over, together with another guard, **** the two of them.

Liang Dehao cupped his fists at Long Dayi: “General Long, I took these two away, and I will interrogate them thoroughly. I will keep in mind what the general told me, and if there are any clues, I will report them to the general in time. If the general finds out, please contact me at any time.”

The meaning of these words is very clear, he has connected the attack with the clues that Long Da said, and the arrest of witnesses this time is a major breakthrough. The news after the interrogation should be extremely important. He understands the seriousness of the matter and will handle it with care.

Long Da nodded, and saluted Liang Dehao back.

The guards brought the horse over and put the two tightly bound assassins on the horse. A guard loudly reminded Liang Dehao to leave this place immediately, beware of these assassins and their accomplices.

Liang Dehao bid farewell to Long Da when he heard the words, and the two said goodbye.

Liang Dehao took the people away. Long Da stood where he was, and waited quietly for a while, making sure that they had gone far away. He turned around in the woods, there were seven corpses in total, one was Liang Dehao’s guard, and six were assassins. He guessed that Liang Dehao would send someone to notify the local government office to deal with these corpses.

Long Da thought for a while, then bent down to carefully examine the condition of each corpse, carefully searched them one by one, and touched their necks.

At this time, a figure quietly entered the forest and called out: “General.”

Long Da responded, the person who came was Sun Jian’an, the head of his Long family in Yuguan County, the shopkeeper Sun of Zhengguang Bank that he and An Ruochen had mentioned. He asked Liang Dehao to meet in Yuguan County, firstly because it was convenient for Liang Dehao to pass by here, and secondly because there were his Long family members here.

“How?” Long Da asked.

Shopkeeper Sun said: “These people once poured medicine into Rufeng’s forage. Our people appeared on purpose, and the person who injected the medicine hurried away. We changed the forage secretly. Later, the person came to check the situation of the forage being eaten. Seeing that all the food was gone, I left. Just now, someone in the inn heard the movement in the forest and wanted to come over to check, but we stopped him. No one knows what happened here.”

“Yeah.” Long Da nodded and pointed to the person under his command. “He’s not dead yet, bring him back quickly and see if he can be revived.”

“Yes.” Shopkeeper Sun agreed, waved the torch in his hand, and soon two people rushed over. Seeing Long Dajun, he saluted respectfully. Then quickly follow the instructions to carry the man away.

“If that person can’t make it through tonight, bring the corpse back. If he survives, find a corpse to fill in the gap.”

Shopkeeper Sun agreed.

Long Da walked out of the forest and asked, “Do you have a pen and paper?”

“Yes.” Shopkeeper Sun followed behind, “I have them all in my house.”

Long Da walked all the way back to the inn, went to shopkeeper Sun’s room, wrote a letter there, rolled it into a paper roll, sealed it, and handed it to shopkeeper Sun: “Use flying pigeons to send the letter to the second child.” Private letters from home are safer than military texts from the army.

Shopkeeper Sun took it, agreed, and said, “Second master wrote to ask, do you want to send someone to pick up Miss An?”

“Has Miss An ever contacted you?”

“Never.”

Long Da frowned, he left Sixia River and came out quietly from Shilingya again, fearing that he missed her letter. But although there was no letter from An Ruochen, he did see the urgent report from the army. Not long after An Ruochen left Sixiajiang barracks, he received news that Tang Xuan had died. The situation was worse than he expected. The layout of the meticulous work in the city is afraid to change again. And what he is most worried about is the leakage of the list of secret agents. Internal troubles and external worries, internal and external cooperation, this is the biggest crisis. I am afraid that if their Long family army is fighting on the front line, someone will stab their knife behind them.

Now that he met Liang Dehao, and after the assassination incident, Long Da had some speculations in his mind, which were different from his original expectations. What is the truth, I am afraid that we have to investigate further. Since his Miss An Ruochen has never contacted Shopkeeper Sun, she might have some idea. He had to go back and read her letter quickly.

Long Da and shopkeeper Sun said: “You don’t need to let the second child pick her up. The second child has a big goal. Sending people out of Beijing will be targeted. Now is not a good time. Don’t let him act rashly. He read my letter You will know how to arrange it later. Ms. An, you are so troublesome. I am busy fighting, so I am afraid I can’t take care of her too well. You should contact her and be prepared to take care of her. If she comes to you, take good care of her, and I will take care of her later. Come pick her up. If there is anything, send me a letter.”

Shopkeeper Sun agreed one by one. Long Da looked out the window at night, he should go. Those people dare not deal with him directly, but deal with his horse? Long Da pursed his lips, leaving the barracks without authorization during the war is indeed a major crime of defection. Long Da once again felt threatened.

“That’s right.” Long Daxing turned around when he reached the door. Shopkeeper Sun listened respectfully.

“Give some more money to Ms. An, if she doesn’t have enough money, it’s my fault.”

Shopkeeper Sun’s mouth twitched, trying to control his expression. Uncle Long, the mighty and stern General Long, you haven’t married that girl yet, have you? You spend money so frankly, Second Master’s heart of saving money will hurt.

An Ruochen sat in the room for a long time that day, and took the token and went out at night. During the wartime, martial law was imposed, and those without a badge were not allowed to go out at will, so there were no pedestrians on the street, except for occasional guards or yamen who patrolled the street. An Ruochen’s carriage arrived at Liu’s residence without any hindrance.

When the concierge informed him, Tian Qing couldn’t help but said to An Ruochen: “Girl, I know that if we can keep someone alive, it would be good to strictly investigate the clues, but that man is not bad at martial arts, so I can’t catch him in a few seconds. , if he takes Qi Zheng as a hostage, I’m afraid he will run away because he was in a hurry and didn’t care to avoid the vital point. I didn’t do it well.”

An Ruochen comforted him: “Brother Tian doesn’t need to blame himself, I understand the situation at that time. Thanks to Brother Tian who arrived in time, otherwise Qi Zheng and Mrs. Lu may be in trouble today. If this person dies, he will die. There are other clues to be found.”

Tian Qing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

The concierge came out to say that Madam has an invitation, An Ruochen stopped waiting for Tian Qing to speak, and went into Liu’s residence. Lu Zheng patted Tian Qing on the shoulder, and asked him in a low voice, “Drinking again? It doesn’t matter what you do.”

Tian Qing frowned, and followed into Liu’s residence with a look of hesitation.

An Ruochen and Zhao Jiahua talked alone in the room. An Ruochen took out some banknotes and said: “You make arrangements, take Yin’er and the others, and leave for a while. Let the shopkeeper watch over this restaurant first, and then come back after the battle is over.”

Zhao Jiahua received the banknote first, and then asked, “Why?”

“The front line is at war, and the leader of Xizuo has changed. The strategy is different from before. I think, maybe they will start the eyeliner of Xiaoqing City. To put it simply, it is my eyeliner.”

Zhao Jiahua asked: “Who is the leader of the meticulous work?”

“I think it’s Mr. Xie.”

“Master Min?”

“Mr. Xie is just a code name. I don’t know who it is. I guess Mr. Min used to be Mr. Xie. Then he is gone. I guess it is Tang Xuan again. Tang Xuan is dead. Now I don’t dare to guess randomly, I guess more I think anyone could be.”

Zhao Jiahua was silent for a long time: “I can’t leave.”

An Ruochen frowned: “Why?”

“This city is indeed dangerous. It’s like an urn that locks everyone together. But just because everyone is together, everyone watches each other’s every move. If you want to kill someone carefully, you may show yourself. You have to think about it. After leaving here, the urn is gone. No one is staring at each other. We died on the way. Wouldn’t it be too easy to make up excuses. What horses lost control and the carriage rolled down the cliff, wars and robbery, etc., to Death is in vain.” Zhao Jiahua stared at An Ruochen: “Here, there is still you. If there is an accident with us, under your nose, under the eyes of the prefect, there will always be someone to check. You said, is it necessary to escape here to be safe?”

The reasoning is reasonable, but An Ruochen feels that something is wrong. She couldn’t think of it for a while. In the end, he could only say: “Then pay me back the money.”

Zhao Jiahua seemed not to hear, and calmly lowered his head and took a sip of water.

An Ruochen frowned, there was indeed something wrong.

Tian Qing went to visit Qi Zheng. Qi Zheng was injured today and was frightened again, Zhao Jiahua took him back to live in the mansion, saying that there is a nursing home in the mansion, which is safer than the shops in restaurants.

Qi Zheng was very happy to see Tian Qing. Tian Qing took a closer look at his injury, his face was swollen like a steamed bun, and he was humming when he spoke. Seeing that he was fine, Tian Qing asked, “Tell me the truth, have you never seen the person who wants to kill you today?”

Qi Zheng pursed his lips.

“Think about it carefully, even if there is a little clue, then I can help you find out his identity. Only by knowing who he is, can you know why he wanted to rob and kill you? If you don’t figure it out, how can you guarantee the identity of him later?” No one else will come to attack you again. Next time, I may not come to rescue you by such a coincidence.”

“Brother Tian.” Qi Zheng was very moved. Tian Qing has always been very kind to him, caring about him and taking care of him. Except for Papa Yang, there was no other male elder who could make him so close and respectful. “Brother Tian, ​​I, let me tell you, this matter really needs to be investigated. But this matter is extremely confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone.”

so serious? Tian Qingji said seriously: “Say it.”
