The wind

However, Jing Chun's move of dumping the pot was a failure, otherwise he would not have died.

Having said that, I still don't know who was the one who tipped off the rogues, and I don't know which expert manipulated the food and grass into weapons, and then changed the changed weapons back again. .

Fortunately, Xiao Zhouheng has sorted out the context of this for the time being.

Then, the question arises again, how can I prove whether my guess is correct or not?

If you really need to ask yourself... the person involved?

So Xiao Zhouheng, who made up his mind, asked: "Master Lin, when exactly was the grain truck robbed?"

"September [-]th." Seeing Xiao Zhouheng's sudden solemnity, Lin Wanzhao felt a drum in his heart, "It was a very unfortunate day, Mr. Jiang went to Changzhou Mansion and hadn't returned yet, I... the day I was appointed... ...Drunk and missed the hour, so I simply asked for leave..."

"September [-]th? Changzhou?" Xiao Zhouheng frowned, "Isn't this... the day Taobai Bank caught fire..."

Could it be a coincidence at this point in time?

If not, then...Jiang Pai can't be troubled, rogues can't enter Jiang's mansion, I must do something to delay those thieves, and then find Jiang Pai himself, and ask clearly about the twists and turns, Xiao Xiao Zhou Heng thought to himself like this.

The bloody wind swept over the faces of the two of them, as if they were messing with the palace merchant's silk and red strings, making people sick.

Xiao Zhouheng pondered for a while, and then said: "Except for the eleventh of September, when is Zhong Bugui asking to transport grain to the capital?"

"The third day of October is today." Lin Wanzhao replied, "Only internal officials can know the exact date."

Hearing what Lin Wanzhao said, Xiao Zhouheng was very sure that the person who tipped off the news must have tampered with the delivery time, otherwise the rogues would not feel that they were being tricked and chose revenge.

etc!time!The timing of the two food shipments!

Now Xiao Zhouheng was all on the right track, so there was no change, in the final analysis, it was just that I had nothing to do with deceit, and I had nothing to worry about, but I still almost deceived Xiao Zhouheng.

With one thought put away, Xiao Zhouheng also had his own views on the whole matter of the robbers and robbery in his heart.

Xiao Zhouheng laughed at himself, and thought to himself: It is still not clear who Jing Chun was killed by, how could he figure out the farce of bandits robbing food to confuse people and slander ghosts and gods.

"Shu Ting, what are you going to do? The main road is over there!" Lin Wanzhao was terrified when he saw Xiao Zhouheng raised his foot and seemed to be going forward, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Zhouheng even tighter, "There is Jiang House!"

"I'm going to Jiang Mansion."

"You, you... are you going to save people?" Lin Wanzhao was anxious, dripping with sweat, and raised her hand to wipe it off. The sweat and blood mixed together and turned into a colorful face, "Shu Ting, you are not Zhong Bu For those who have returned, isn’t this going to die in vain? Besides, you are alone, how can you do it?”

Xiao Zhouheng touched his chin, and his eyes stopped on Lin Wanzhao: "It makes sense, it's really inappropriate to act rashly this time."

I saw Lin Wanzhao's hand holding Xiao Zhouheng's sleeve froze, looking back at Xiao Zhouheng with an unbelievable expression on his face, he opened his mouth for a long time, but could not utter a sound.

At this moment, Xiao Zhouheng suddenly felt that he imitated Li Zhongnan's way of speaking invisibly, and unknowingly, he also had a little more fun in it.

Looking at Lin Wanzhao's confused and entangled face in front of him... probably when Li Zhongnan teased him like that, he was also so helpless in his eyes.

But it's different, after all, I'm much more romantic than Lin Wanzhao.

Lin Wanzhao naturally didn't know that the calm Xiao Zhouheng was thinking about irrelevant things at the moment, so he looked him up and down from head to toe in loneliness, and just as he was preparing words of persuasion, Xiao Zhouheng's voice came again. Lai Lai: "Master Lin, as far as you know, how long will it take for the defenders to arrive?"

"It is estimated that there is still time for a stick of incense."

Xiao Zhouheng smiled first, as if he had heard some great news: "Is there actually a stick of incense? Enough."

"Enough of what?"

"Of course it is enough for Master Lin to escape." Xiao Zhouheng's mouth curved even wider, and he pulled his sleeve out of Lin Wanzhao's hand, "Master Lin, you must report back to the road level quickly and let the defenders settle down We must protect the team that is going to deliver food to the capital today, and beware of bandits along the way ambushing and robbing the road again."

"What...?"

"Yes, there is no need to let the defenders come here. I guarantee with the head that the matter of the rogues will be resolved." Xiao Zhouheng turned his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the distance, "Please trouble Master Lin, run away Hurry up, go to the music hall over there and find a few more men who can play drums, and play a piece of "March Order·Broken Time" after the incense burn time."

"This..." Lin Wanzhao saw a little gleam in the corner of Xiao Zhouheng's eyes, and felt that the Xiao Zhouheng in front of him was really different from the frail scholar before.

Maybe the word "ween weak" is not him in his bones, and he is not just the gorgeous Yu Cai Xiao Zhouheng.

He is the Xiao Shuting who stood upright in the palace, his eyes were like torches, and he recited "but you have to die as a minister, and you will not lose your beauty and return to your bones".

Maybe this is...the reason why the Holy Majesty and Guan Qunfeng chose him.

"Master Lin, are these two things difficult to do?" Xiao Zhouheng's voice pulled Lin Wanzhao back, making him suddenly feel like a heart is slashing, and he suddenly understands that he has spent his whole life, He can no longer be a bold and upright person like Xiao Zhouheng.

Lin Wanzhao only felt himself at the moment, with an indescribable emotion clenched between his lips and teeth. Feeling ashamed all over, he could only shake his head.

"Then go quickly." Xiao Zhouheng said, "Although I am a chess piece, it is also a very heavy one. If something happens, Mr. Zhong will probably protect you."

"Your Excellency Shaocheng, I'm an official...take orders." Lin Wanzhao bowed, walked with humility, turned and walked away.

Seeing Lin Wanzhao going away, Xiao Zhouheng put away his smile, squinted his eyes to look at the sea of ​​clouds and the sky in the distance, couldn't help cursing a few words to Jiang Xi secretly, this man is really too treacherous and cunning, he counted the bandits once, and designed He killed Jing Chun once, and Jing Chun led the bandits' army, which means that the bandits were tricked twice.

What the hell is this Jiang Chen going to do?Did he act on Zhong Bugui's orders, or was he making his own decisions?

While thinking, Xiao Zhouheng took a few steps forward, and within a short while, he suddenly found a few yamen servants in official uniforms lying beside the tree, so he hurriedly bent down to explore, only then did he realize that several people All were stab wounds.

Seeing that the faces of the people on the ground were strange and their clothes were in good condition, and when they talked with Lin Wanzhao just now, they didn't hear any strange noises nearby, Xiao Zhouheng looked carefully again, and only then did he notice the stick in the throat of the fallen yamen servant. Filamentous wounds, isn't this... Qu Yeliang's Dan Que swordsmanship?

It turned out that after he and Li Zhongnan left, Li Yunyi confessed to Qu Yeliang, and then Qu Yeliang escaped like this.

What role did the two of them play in this matter?Xiao Zhouheng couldn't figure it out, it seemed that this matter was getting more and more complicated.

Forget it, we will discuss the matter of Li Yunyi and Qu Yeliang later, stop the rogues first, then Xiao Zhouheng got up and continued to walk forward. Sure enough, after walking a few more steps, he heard the screams and howls accompanied by the fight. Voice.

No. 70 people are approaching in front of them, each with a spear and stick, strong and strong, holding a weapon and slashing at passers-by.

Xiao Zhouheng frowned, jumped into the crowd on tiptoe, and shouted with all his strength: "Everyone, please stop!"

The red-eyed thief naturally couldn't hear what Xiao Zhouheng said, and at this moment he swung the knife, Xiao Zhouheng rolled his eyes, his two fingers gripped the tip of the knife like pliers, and pulled it back, the man only Feeling a huge force in front of the knife, he fell down and collided with the person behind him who wanted to sneak attack Xiao Zhouheng.

But at the moment the man fell down, he took out a small knife from his bosom and stabbed it into Xiao Zhouheng's belly fiercely.

All of a sudden, the rogues stopped for a while, and they saw a young man with an indifferent expression like a scholar, holding a knife in his arms, with a tangle of sadness between his brows, standing among them calmly.The thin crane in the tide, the rain is sparse and the rainbow is low, and it is as bright as a jade tree before the wind. The picture is indescribably weird.

Xiao Zhouheng didn't care about the bandit knife stuck in his abdomen, he managed to hold his breath and let the blood flow all the way.Seeing the thieves watching like hungry wolves, Xiao Zhouheng didn't feel oppressed, he looked at the crowd for a moment, smiled suddenly, and shook his head: "It's really a bunch of animals who can't understand human language. "

After saying that, I saw a person next to Xiao Zhouheng cursing in a low voice, and continued to copy the knife.

Xiao Zhouheng jumped up amidst the angry faces of several people, and with a flutter, his body was like a crane picking its feathers, and a dragon disturbing his soul. He took out the book from his bosom with his right hand and threw it into the air. The knife came, and it seemed to be cut out of order in the messy scroll.In a blink of an eye, the man was already in front of the bandit, before the man was about to be cut, the knife lightly touched the three-inch throat of the man, and then the paper exploded in an instant.

"Looking back at the book." Xiao Zhouheng twitched the corners of his lips, and listened to him read, "You might as well...dream frequently..."

With the pages of books all over the sky, the man involuntarily took two steps back, only to feel that his beard and hair stood on end for a moment, and the flesh and bones under the clothes were not wet.

It was as if there was a surge of qi in the body that flooded the whole body, connected with the meridian of foot yangming, clamped the navel upwards, reached Guanyuan, and reached the throat, more than ten acupoints around the body exploded with a trace of mist, and then the knife fell with a soft hand, and fell limply to the ground. Limbs convulsed, as if a mud tire was burned from the inside to the outside, and he died of exhaustion.

"Who's next?" Xiao Zhouheng's face was pale, he put the tip of the knife on the ground, and with the sound of stabbing, he staggered a few steps forward.

The expressions of the crowd were shocked, it was hard to say for a long time, they all forgot to swing their knives, none of them had seen such a move before.

"So... can I listen to Xiaosheng now?"

"Forgive me for my crime of guessing." As the pages of the book fell to the ground, and the surroundings were silent, Xiao Zhouheng only thought that they agreed, so he cleared his throat and said, "Dear heroes, although It seems to be a local tyrant, but there are naturally many gangs fighting openly and secretly, so when someone throws an olive branch, you must refuse it."

Xiao Zhouheng raised his chin, looked into the eyes of everyone, and satirized: "So how did the people in the government agree to share with you? Could it be four or six?"

A black-faced strong man who looked like a leader let out a disdainful sound from his nasal cavity.

"That's Sanqi." Xiao Zhouheng's smile deepened, "The people in the government told you in advance the time for your horses and chariots to march, and let you lie in ambush on the official road on September [-]th, and you can grab the weapons according to the agreement. It's a pity that you found that the horses and chariots were full of food and grass, and you didn't find anything like swords, spears, or halberds."

"So you feel that you have been fooled, that you have been calculated, that the government has set you up, so that the people in the public have an appropriate and appropriate reason to encircle and suppress you. After all, you also know later that it is an emergency transfer to the capital. For food and grass, if the imperial court blames you, you will be in real trouble."

"Bah! The government is just a bunch of villains who pretend to be powerful and have no promise." The black-faced man gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear the culprit in half right now.

"So you didn't find the weapons first, and you caused yourself a big disaster." Xiao Zhouheng said, "Therefore, there is a lot of anger in this room, and it is natural for Xiaosheng to understand. Therefore, you go to the refugees first. The place where I lived was well ventilated, and then..."

Xiao Zhouheng paused, then smiled again: "You all knew that you were tricked on September [-]th, but why did you wait until today, that is, the third day of October? The answer is not too hard to think about, because today is the It's time for the second shipment of grain. You thought today's shipment was the real weapon, that is, the batch of 'grain' you originally wanted to rob. Taking advantage of the transfer of the defenders and the emptiness of the city, You take advantage of this opportunity to swim in, wanting to make a fuss."

"Hmph, you are smart, who are you, report your name."

"It's not that Xiaosheng is smart, but that you are too stupid. You have been tricked twice without knowing it. Up to now, I thought that your strategy of avoiding the truth and attacking the false today is full of secrets." Xiao Xiao Zhou Heng only felt that there were figures in front of him, and he was about to pass out in minutes.

"you!"

"The first link among you is from Jing Chun. He didn't know what method he used to let you get wrong information, which made you rob the trip that was supposed to transport food honestly, which caused a lot of trouble. A misunderstanding between you and the government."

"Which one is Jing Chun? I only recognize the one whose surname is Jiang." Obviously, the black-faced boss no longer knew what Zhou Heng was talking about.

"...To put it simply, it was an official named Jing Chun who provoked your conflicts with Jiang Xi. After all, Jiang Xi was the one you were in contact with before, right?"

"That's right." The black-faced old man said, "He asked us to go to Jie on September [-]th, and we have cooperated several times before. Who the hell knows that this son of a bitch is so shady."

Very well, these bandits are so easy to fool, and they just got out of the way in a few sentences, Xiao Zhouheng breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, Jiang Xi still had a plan to instigate the bandits to rob the road, but for some reason, Jing Chun Participated in one foot.

"But, all you big brothers in the rivers and lakes, you have been tricked by Jiang Chuan again. After being reminded by an old friend, Xiaosheng found out that only people in the public family can know the time of this grain delivery, so Jiang Chuan must secretly tell you the second time. The day to deliver food is today, isn't it?"

The black-faced boss took a few steps back: "Why...?"

"So you must have sent a large number of people to block the official road, but... this time you are really going to be taken over by one pot." Xiao Zhouheng tilted his head, "After all, this time it is food... ..."

"You you!" The black-faced boss was furious, he picked up the guy and was about to slash at Xiao Zhouheng, but just as he raised the knife, he heard the sound of iron hoofs and horses in the distance. He shouted loudly: "The defenders are here! Run!"

All of a sudden, people's heads rolled around, and the rogues threw away their helmets and armor, panicked and fled one after another.

Naturally, no one cared about Xiao Zhouheng in this room, he breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment he felt the sharp pain in his lower abdomen, looked down, not only saw the exposed handle of the knife, but also saw the blood congealed at his feet It became a puddle.The red was so dazzling that Xiao Zhouheng closed his eyes, swayed and fell forward.
