Chapter 094 Fighting Wisdom Along the Road
Cui Jianfeng did not know about the ambush set up by Magistrate Gao along the road. However, he had previously sent Chen Yuntian to take Lu Tong and others to Huainan Road to confuse Lu Hechang, Zheng Mingjie and others, hoping to attract the attention of those who were chasing Wei Kangshun and Lu Dazhu.
Huainan Road, unexpectedly, his actions soon attracted the attention of Magistrate Gao of Shengtang County and took countermeasures.
When he unexpectedly saw Lu Hechang in the Shengtang County Yamen, he felt that his plan was going smoothly and he had achieved his purpose of drawing the attention of the Ministry of Punishment to Huainan Road.
But what he never expected was that when Chen Yuntian and the others implemented the steps of using the five captured Tang soldiers to create a hypothesis and then sent someone to send Han Xiuying back to Wucheng in a carriage, they were captured by Shengtang County as soon as they entered the territory of Luzhou.
Several soldiers from the Zhechong Prefecture Cavalry led by the lieutenant who were loading tourists on the road discovered and followed them all the way to the county seat of Wucheng County, and planted spies in the inn where Han Fengying was staying.
Of course, County Magistrate Gao also didn't know that while Lu Hechang was paying attention to the escaped prisoner, he secretly asked Magistrate Zheng of Wucheng County to also send people to set up an ambush along the road.
The three parties are all fighting on their own, and they don't know the details of the other party. They are all kept in the dark. However, the reason why Cui Jianfeng went to see Magistrate Gao of Shengtang County that day was actually because Sun Xiaogang accidentally discovered that there were often people on the road south of the crime scene.
Caused by mysterious tourists.
That day, when Sun Xiaogang was observing ground targets from the air through his Sky Eye, he accidentally saw a few people walking around on the road south of the crime scene. He didn't pay attention at first, but after seeing it several times, he started to pay attention.
He hurriedly dug out the previous surveillance records and played them back. It turned out that this situation had happened many times, which attracted his attention and reported it to Cui Jianfeng.
"Use your eyes to search southward along the road to see if there are any more people like this on the road."
As a result, Sun Xiaogang also saw a few people wandering on the road in northern Luzhou.
"These people are acting suspiciously." Cui Jianfeng suddenly realized: "They are probably the government officials sent by Wucheng County to intercept and arrest our personnel."
"Then what should we do?" Sun Xiaogang asked.
"You take pictures of these people's facial features and try to get the content of their conversations."
Sun Xiaogang immediately turned on the audio-visual synthesis and recording function on the Sky Eye, and used the audio-visual amplifier on the Sky Eye to transmit the facial features and conversation content of the suspicious persons wandering on the road to Cui Jianfeng's monitor.
"Judging from their appearance, I don't recognize them, but judging from their accents and conversation content, these people should be from the Shouzhou area."
"Where do you think these people are from?" Sun Xiaogang asked with interest.
"The most likely possibility is that he is a member of the Shengtang County government office nearest to the place where the crime occurred."
"Really."
"Yes." This was the reason why Cui Jianfeng went to see Magistrate Gao of Shengtang County. He estimated that the Shengtang County government had intervened in the investigation of the case.
At the gate of the Shengtang County government office, he understood the general story of the incident as soon as he saw Lu Hechang. This should be Lu Hechang's bad idea.
He suddenly thought of Chen Yuntian sending Han Fengying back to Wucheng after "performing" the "drama" to confuse the enemy as planned. He felt nervous.
"Hurry up and ask Zhu Guangcai to find the inn where Han Fengying is staying and ask her to move as soon as possible." Cui Jianfeng immediately asked Sun Xiaogang to notify Zhu Guangcai through Qiu Siyuan to act as soon as possible.
But it’s too late!
Just because County Magistrate Gao became suspicious of Cui Jianfeng's sudden visit, he quickly thought that Cui Jianfeng might have discovered that he had sent people to set up an ambush on the road between the crime scene and Wucheng County.
"Why is this happening?" Magistrate Gao was also very surprised after meeting Cui Jianfeng that day. How did Cui Jianfeng find out the information about his ambush?
He did not reveal his plans to Lu Hechang, and Cui Jianfeng certainly had no possibility of obtaining these situations through Lu Hechang.
Suddenly, he remembered what Lu Hechang had said about those heavenly beings having saucer-shaped flying machines and disc-shaped talking birds. He understood immediately.
In this way, he immediately decided to take action in advance, which was two years after the arrest of Han Fengying.
In this way, two Tang Dynasty generals with the same rank competed for time.
Obviously, County Magistrate Gao does not have any advantage in this kind of competition.
Because Cui Jianfeng had the help of people from outside the world and traveled nearly a thousand miles, so he could convey his instructions within a few minutes. And what about County Magistrate Gao?
Magistrate Gao also expedited the journey for eight hundred miles, which would take at least a day and a half.
The two sides began to race against time using the timeline of modernity and ancient times.
Magistrate Gao quickly wrote a letter and sent a yamen officer to immediately deliver the letter to the nearest express station eight hundred miles away. The letter flew at high speed from the prosperous Tang Dynasty on Huainan Road to Wucheng on Jiangnan Road.
At the same time, Zhu Guangcai and several people immediately went to all the inns in the county to look for Han Fengying.
Wucheng County is not a big city, but it is not easy to find someone who doesn't know where he lives.
At this time, the Pegasus, which was in a hurry for 800 miles, was getting closer and closer to Wucheng County. The horse kept panting, but the man mercilessly beat the running horse. Just because there was a person on the urgent letter.
The strange mark is a special mark commonly used by the Duhufu when reporting emergencies to the capital. Letters with this mark often cause Xinma to suddenly fall to the ground and die shortly after arriving at the inn.
Simply because this mark is an urgent mark used by the Protectorate to report urgent matters to the court when major events occur during wartime.
As a general engaged in intelligence work on the battlefield, Zhu Guangcai, after receiving Cui Jianfeng's order, flew non-stop to various inns to look for Han Fengying. However, he visited all the inns in Wucheng County and still could not find Han Fengying's residence.
It's just that the inn Han Fengying chose to stay in was not in the county town, nor in the north of the county town, but in a small town south of the county town.
The results of it?
The modern aliens were defeated by the ancient people in the race of time.
When Zhu Guangcai finally found the store where Han Fengying lived and learned from the store owner that there was indeed a woman named Han Fengying living in the store, he was dumbfounded!
Even the shop owner was puzzled by the meaning. A living person's meaning disappeared under his nose.
The results of it?
When the store owner took Zhu Guangcai to open the door of Han Fengying's room, he found that the building was empty.
Zhu Guangcai was so anxious that he stamped on the ground and complained, but what could be done?
He had no choice but to quickly let Liang Haiming inform Cui Jianfeng through Sun Xiaogang.
"Immediately monitor the carriages and horses on all roads from Wucheng to the prosperous Tang Dynasty." Cui Jianfeng immediately took countermeasures and asked Sun Xiaogang and Liang Haiming to closely monitor the carriages and horses traveling on the roads.
But Magistrate Gao, an old and treacherous minister, was very difficult to deal with.
In the letter, he stated in advance the method of escorting Han Fengying after capturing him, that is, no carriages, horses, or roads were used. This also bypassed Cui Jianfeng and the others who relied on the aerial observation of their extraterrestrial visitors to pursue the government officials who escorted the criminal.
No roads, no carriages and horses. It’s nearly a thousand miles, so what’s the point of walking on this road?
Magistrate Gao was considered a scheming person, and he actually took advantage of the former governor of Huainan Road Zhechong Prefecture who was transferred to Jiangnan Road with Fan Zhendong.
In other words, he had made a plan in advance and mentioned it again in the urgent letter, which was to immediately send the arrested criminal to a Zhechong Mansion in southern Wuzhou nearest to Wucheng for temporary detention.
In this way, the Shengtang County Lieutenant brought Han Xiuying and the four escorts who came with her to Zhechong Prefecture as quickly as possible with a letter from Magistrate Gao to the Protector of Zhechong Prefecture.
Locked up quietly.
In this round of competition, the futuristic Qiu Siyuan and Cui Jianfeng were defeated by the modern Gao Zhao.
