Chapter 27: A Surprising Soldier(1/2)
Under the night, a black shadow stood on the wall and gently threw the flying claws, circled around for several circles, and the flying claws were thrown out...
A parabola flew out from the fine steel claws, "Click!" accurately hooked the beam under the eaves of the second floor.
This is the most critical step. The flying claws can grasp the beams thirty steps away, and few people in the world can do it.
This is also the only way to enter the small building, passing through the sky, but this is something that the craftsmen who designed the small building mechanism could never dream of. It is not that they could not imagine it, but that it was too far away and could not be done at all.
The other end of the rope was tied to a large tree outside the courtyard. The black shadow grabbed the iron ring on the rope, jumped out, flew out of the air, from high to low, and flew towards the second floor window of the small building.
When you go back later, just untie the flying claws and you can grab the rope and swing it out.
Once in and out, the design is extremely exquisite.
………….
At the first update, Pei Min came back and he got what Li Xiu wanted.
A roster of warriors, half a bronze medal for the transfer of troops, the roster says Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall.
"It's true that's not what I expected."
Li Xiu slapped the table, "The warrior of Niu Xiantong is hidden in the martial arts hall."
The reason why the warriors of Niu Xiantong are hidden in the martial arts hall is no longer important, but the scale and equipment are important.
The number of people is small, and the cow fairy child can still escape the crime, but the number of people is large, so the charge of raising warriors' rebellion will be confirmed.
"Pei Jiu, thank you for your hard work, go to the martial arts hall and confirm the number of people and equipment."
"Wait a minute!"
Pei Min was about to leave, but stopped again.
"What are the instructions for the young master?"
"You go to Niu Xiantong's Mansion to check something. If I'm not mistaken, this will be the most critical point of the whole incident."
Li Xiu said a few words with his ears, Pei Min nodded and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Li Xiu looked through the list, name, address, level, monthly salary, and a complete warrior information, with a total of 500 people.
Although it is estimated that the number of warriors is about four or five hundred by counting chopsticks and bowls during the day, there are many variables here, which are of great importance and must be confirmed on site.
"Young Master, look at this!"
Xiaomei handed Li Xiu the bronze medal and pointed to the line below: "Deploy troops with the bronze medal and the handwritten order."
This half of the bronze medal is the Tiger Talisman of the Temperor of the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, but Li Xiu didn't expect that he would need Niu Xiantong's handwriting to mobilize the warriors?
But this is not a problem. Li Xiu has a palace order written by Niu Xiantong. To mobilize the warriors, he has to find a master of imitation writing.
"Young Master!"
Gongsun Xiaomei whispered: "Shouldn't these things be handed over to Eunuch Gao?"
Li Xiu shook his head, "You don't understand! I can get 30,000 guan, it depends on them."
Li Xiu's heart is as clear as a mirror, and Li Chengqi's giant hand controls the entire situation. This warrior is a surprise soldier that Li Chengqi missed.
A kitchen knife does not hurt people, it is just a kitchen knife. If a kitchen knife kills people, it is the weapon.
The same is true for warriors. If they don’t act, they are just a group of people carrying items.
………….
The next morning, everyone went out separately.
Pei Min used to know several fake experts from the capital when handling the case, and he was responsible for counterfeiting the order.
Li Xiu brought Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu to Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall again.
Li Xiu wore a white warrior uniform and a long sword on his waist. At first glance, he was a rich young man who was preparing to come to the martial arts hall to learn from his master.
"I'm sorry, this museum will not recruit new people, go to another family!"
"It's not okay to pay a lot of money. Our restaurant has been closed in the past few months!"
The concierge of Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall drove Li Xiu out of the gate without hesitation.
His grandmother, is it impossible to open up plots and insist on let Pei Min come over to monitor him at night?
But surveillance alone is not enough. Many things cannot be mastered without going deeper.
Li Xiu's eyes turned and fell on a notice on the wall, "This martial arts hall recruits two traitors!"
He turned around and looked at Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu who were smirking in the distance, then walked up to them with a smile and said, "Don't you always complain about your income being too low? I've found you a part-time job!"
…………….
In Yongchangfang to the south of Niu Xiantong's mansion, a middle-aged man hurried into a tavern.
The shopkeeper took him into a elegant room, where a man in his early thirties sat in the room, wearing a golden crown and a purple dress, and was extremely arrogant.
The man was named Li Sheng and was named Duke of Baishui County. He was the leader of another investigation team besides Li Ji. Li Sheng was waiting for the middle-aged man to arrive.
"Please sit down, butler Xu!"
Butler Xu sat down, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, and had a heavy wine glass.
"I thought about it all night. This may be the only chance to get rich in my life. I don't want to miss it, but you must ensure my safety."
Li Sheng was overjoyed, "Has Mr. Xu agreed to testify?"
Butler Xu nodded, "There are a total of 100,000 weapons, 70,000 spears, and 30,000 horizontal knives. I saw them put into the warehouse with my own eyes, and you should have seen them too."
Li Sheng saw these weapons in the warehouse vent window with his own eyes. Although he could not count the quantity, he could see that the quantity was huge, which should be about 100,000 pieces.
"I need you to write a testimony, and if necessary, you need to come forward to testify!"
"Yes! But I want five hundred gold, I also want to change my name and surname. You must ensure my safety."
"no problem!"
Butler Xu took out a testimony and handed it to Li Sheng, "There is my signature on it, pay half of it first!"
Li Sheng opened the testimony and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a complete testimony with detailed content. Below is the signature and handprint of the second housekeeper Xu Jianqing.
Li Sheng nodded, took out five ingots of gold and put them on the table and pushed them to him, "This is two hundred taels of gold, and you will pay another three hundred taels after the matter is done!"
………………
In the imperial study room, Li Ji and Li Sheng submitted their respective evidence to Li Longji.
Li Ji's evidence was the confession of Taoist Master Long Yang's two disciples, proving that their master handed over three missing Taoist treasures to Niu Xiantong.
There is also a letter from Niu Xiantong asking for Taoist treasures.
With testimony and letters, you can search Niu Xiantong's mansion openly.
But there is a loophole in this evidence, and Li Longji also knows the loophole. The emperor knows about this, so the most treasure of Taoism is the Ming-Cultivated Plank Road.
The real evidence of Li Longji is the testimony of Xu Jianqing, the second butler of Niu Mansion submitted by Li Sheng. He proved that Niu Xiantong had hidden 100,000 weapons in his mansion and was willing to come forward to testify.
This is Li Longji's secret visit to Chen Cang. As long as there are weapons in Niu Xiantong's mansion, he has won 90% of this battle.
Li Longji still remembers it vividly. In the past, the Supreme Emperor hid 30,000 sets of armor in Yuan Siyi's mansion opposite Tai Chi Palace, which suddenly appeared 20,000 armored soldiers.
Therefore, there are 100,000 weapons hidden in Niu Xiantong's house, and Li Longji is not surprised at all.
"Are you sure the weapon is still in the mansion?" Li Longji asked Li Shengdao.
Li Sheng bowed and said, "I saw it with my own eyes last night and was still in the warehouse. There were no transport vehicles entering and leaving Niu Mansion today, but Bei Yi was worried that they would find out and hope to implement it as soon as possible."
Li Longji is also afraid that there are too many dreams in the long night!
He glanced at Gao Lishi next to him, and Gao Lishi nodded.
Li Longji immediately issued an order: "Tell me about the Jingzhao Prefecture Prime Minister Pei Kuan to meet him!"
………………
At dusk, Li Xiu saw Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu and smelled a stinking smell from afar.
He pinched his nose and waved his hand, "Don't get close to me, why is it so smelly?"
Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu were in tears, "We poured hundreds of toilets today, all of which were full, and we had to wash them clean. Young Master, we are so miserable!"
"It's just to let you know that making money is not easy, and complain about me being stingy all day long. How about it? How many people are there? What are you doing?"
Zhang Ping stretched out five fingers, "Five hundred people were transferred from various manors to Chang'an ten days ago, as if they were here to escort money."
"All of them are warriors recruited by the Niu Xiantong?"
"It's certain they are all! They said in person, showing us their salaries and treatment."
"You guys keep going back to work, I have important tasks to you tonight."
………………
As the sky was getting dark, more than 300 constables and yamen runners from Wannian County, Chang'an County and Jingzhao Prefecture began to assemble.
All the yamen runners were wearing red-edged soap clothes, holding water and fire sticks in their hands, and carrying rings on their waists and heads with swords. They were neat and majestic.
On the steps, Pei Kuan shouted loudly: "Tonight's action is crucial. Everyone subsidizes the money for the whole time, and cheers me up. In addition, I want to emphasize that if there is a conflict tonight, you can use a stick, but no one can die. Everyone answers me, but you will hear it!"
