Chapter 66: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

 Late at night, the cold wind howls, and the flags are flying in the camp, exuding a chilling atmosphere.

The brazier between the tents flickered in the wind, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and reflected on the faces of the patrol soldiers, which looked a little dim.

In the Chinese military tent, Quan Shenhan sat behind the desk, his face gloomy, silent, as if deep in thought.

Huo Di narrowed his eyes with a ruthless light, he had made a decision.

Just now, he received news that the leftist prime minister had obtained intelligence that the remaining bandits under Jiao Mao's command would set up an ambush in Qianhe Mountain to rob prisoners.

Therefore, Prime Minister Zuo suggested to the empress that there is no need to transport the Jiao Mao to Zhanjing, but to divert it directly to Lilanfu City and kill it at the execution ground to serve as a warning to others.

The empress accepted the advice. Early tomorrow morning, Jing Xun will escort Jiao Mao to Lilanfu City.

Given Magistrate Zeng’s cautious temperament, he would definitely ask Lord Futai to mobilize the garrison to guard the city.

At that time, Quan Shenhan will lead his troops into the city and impose martial law everywhere.

At that time, it was also the best time for him to solve Qin Yi!

Although the risk is extremely high, Quan Shenhan has always been bold and never misses an opportunity.

Therefore, he has decided that Qin Yi will never survive until tomorrow night!

The soldiers waiting aside saw Quan Shenhan waving and ran over quickly, bowing their heads respectfully, waiting for orders.

"According to the usual practice, whenever a rebel is beheaded in the execution ground, the Second Council of Generals will send members to watch the beheading in order to practice their courage." Quan Shenhan narrowed his eyes and said, "At that time, it is the time to take action."

The soldiers were a little surprised, "Shall we do it ourselves?"

The last time I carried out a disguised assassination, the secret was almost exposed. Now if I do it while on duty, wouldn’t it be exposed on the spot?

Quan Shenhan shook his head slowly, only stupid people would do it themselves.

If he sends someone to do it, let alone being suspected, even if he can prove the relationship, he will be accused of poor protection.

But if someone gets involved and takes advantage of the chaos to kill Qin Yi, there will be no worries.

What he wants to do is to mess up the situation!

After listening to what Quan Shenhan said, the soldiers were confused and messed up the situation?

How to make a mess?

After thinking about it, I really couldn't figure it out, so the soldiers asked, "How can we mess up the situation?"

Quan Shenhan's eyes flashed coldly and he said in a deep voice, "Make a deal with the bandits and tell them that Jiao Mao will be executed in Lilanfu City."

His heart suddenly stopped beating, and the soldier couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if seeing a ghost, he was extremely shocked!

In order to prevent bandits from kidnapping Jiao Mao, the imperial court deliberately changed the route away from Lanfu City and beheaded him as soon as possible to avoid long nights and nightmares. Quan Shenhan dared to leak the secret for his own selfish purposes?

For a moment, the soldiers were so shocked that they were speechless.

"It's up to you to do this, remember not to leak it, otherwise I will fall and you won't survive!" Quan Shenhan kept an eye on the soldiers and continued, "Tell them that I can relax the guards of the execution ground and help them rescue Jiao Mao.

, on condition that you help me kill Qin Yi!"

The soldier swallowed his saliva, his heart felt cold, he nodded repeatedly, and did not dare to say anything more.

At this time, Quan Shenhan showed murderous intent and madness that he had never seen before.

For the sake of personal revenge, he even risked everything...

Seeing that the soldiers were stunned and silent, Quan Shenhan sneered, "Why, do you think I will really let them kidnap Jiao Mao?"

The soldier was stunned, otherwise, you would have done this.

When Quan Shenhan saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head, sighing secretly that this man was loyal, but his brain was not very good.

If the bandits are really allowed to kidnap Jiao Mao, he will be the first to be imprisoned!

For being dismissed from office for revenge, do you really think he is a madman or a fool?

"Wait until Jiao Mao is escorted to Fucheng, kill him directly, and disguise the rest of the prisoners on death row as him. What's the harm in being rescued by then?" Quan Shenhan said lightly, "What's more, I relaxed my guard in the open and set up ambushes and arrows secretly.

The mountain bandits are short-sighted, how can they know?"

The soldier was startled, then showed a shocked look.

What a great chain plan!

He originally thought that Quan Shenhan had no scruples for personal revenge. But he didn't expect that he would have such a plan to kill people with a borrowed knife and use it with great skill!

Let the knife kill people first, and then kill the knife too!

This resourcefulness is truly divine!

The soldiers were filled with amazement, but then they heard Quan Shenhan continue to say, "In addition to setting up an ambush at the execution ground, we also have to send people in disguise to secretly follow the students from the academy."

The soldier was stunned again, not knowing the reason, but he had given up thinking. With his wooden head, he couldn't figure out Quan Shenhan's foresight even if he thought about it. He might as well ask directly, "Why is this?"

"Prevent the bandits from not keeping their word, working hard, and only focusing on rescuing people instead of killing Qin Yi." Quan Shenhan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The soldier sighed in his heart, completely speechless, and secretly sympathized with Qin Yi.

When encountering an opponent like Quan Shenhan, it is difficult not to die.

Tomorrow, not only will there be bandits waiting for him, but there will also be a group of good soldiers in the army. When the time comes, a two-pronged approach will be taken. Next year and tomorrow will be the anniversary of his death!

……

The sky turned white, and before dawn, four people were carrying a sedan around the corner and walking quickly towards the government office.

There was no one on the road, and the sedan moved forward without any hindrance. It took half a quarter of an hour to reach the government office.

When they arrived at the vermilion gate, the sedan stopped and a bearer came up to knock on the door. After a while, a sleepy boy opened a gap and stuck his head out.

Seeing the magistrate's sedan parked in front of the door, the boy, who was dissatisfied with his dream being disturbed, was startled and quickly opened the door and welcomed the sedan in.

When they reached the main hall, the sedan stopped. The magistrate Zeng, who was wearing a scarlet robe, stepped out of the sedan and walked into the hall.

After a while, the drums started playing, quite rapidly, and the sound of the drums spread very far, breaking the silence around them.

The young servants who were staying in the government office all woke up, quickly got up, ran out of the government office, and went to various workshops to wake up the subordinate staff who were still sleeping.

After hearing the urgent summons from the magistrate, the subordinate staff did not dare to delay and hurried towards the government office.

Some people just got up from the bed and rushed forward without even putting on their clothes, racing against time.

When the drums sound, those who have not arrived within half an hour will be punished with twenty rods.

In order to protect their delicate buttocks from torture, everyone had no choice but to rush to death. They were also secretly shocked. They gathered everyone early in the morning to find out what happened?

Some old subordinates know that if there is no important matter, they will never sound the drum, so they feel very hesitant.

In the main hall of the government office, Zeng Mingzhi was sitting behind the desk, his brows slightly wrinkled, and he tapped his knuckles on the table, making a thumping sound again and again.

His heart was like a tidal wave, and his thoughts kept coming, so much so that he had not even taken a sip of the tea cup after he had brought it to him.

Last night, I learned that Jiao Mao was going to behead him in Lilanfu City, and he was worried even though he knew it.

After struggling for several years, he finally got a promise that as long as his performance this year was not stained, he would be promoted to a new position next year.

For a whole year, he walked on thin ice, fearing that he would make a mistake and ruin his future.

Now that it’s the end of the year, you can breathe a little easier, but who knows, fatal problems will come after all.

Although Jiao Mao was captured, there were still many remaining bandits who were trying to rescue him day and night. If he could be rescued elsewhere, that would be fine and it would have nothing to do with him.

But now, he was actually taken to Fucheng, and the pressure was poured on him, leaving him sleepless all night.
