Li Guopei's men had been waiting in Yeliu Port for a long time, and their necks were sore. But they were relieved when they saw their general riding a horse slowly down the mountain, with all limbs intact, and safe and sound. Everyone hurriedly asked him what he had said to the Taiwanese military adviser.
Li Guopei shook his head and said: "Commander Lin is good at calculating people's hearts. He took advantage of Dai Xian's greed and boldness, Zheng Chao'er's narrow-mindedness, and my carelessness and credulity... Anyway, he lost unjustly." Then he took advantage of what Lin Daiyu said about the cause and effect of this battle.
All the confidants said, sighing, "My plan is really clever."
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and after a while they said: "We all blame those two corrupt officials, Dai Xian and Zheng Chao'er."
Someone asked: "Sir, what did they just say that we were deceived into sending troops this time? What happened?"
Li Guopei said: "I don't know whether I should believe this or not. According to what their military advisor said, our hasty dispatch of troops this time was because someone falsely conveyed the prince's secret order and wanted to force Jia Cong to break with the prince."
The trusted lieutenant asked quickly: "Who?"
Li Guopei said: "Prince of Xining County."
Everyone was stunned: "What does Prince Xining have to do with this matter?"
Li Guopei secretly looked at everyone's faces and said: "Prince Xining is the leader of King Yan's secret agents, and he firmly believes in the Maitreya religion. And Jia Cong is from the lower realm of the third prince Nezha, and is a Taoist disciple. The Maitreya religion is afraid that it will lead to Taoism and destroy Buddhism, so they came up with this plan."
No one said a word for a long time. Li Guopei asked a general casually, and he smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't know what is true or false."
Asked another question, the man hesitated and said: "The general is thinking...is it true?"
"Why is it true?"
"If it's false, who could make up this word?" The man said, "Anyway, if I make it up, I'm afraid it will be said that the king of Xining County is the traitor of King Wu and the king of Shu. Isn't the Maitreya religion a thing of the previous dynasty?"
One of the soldiers thought: "I have heard of the Maitreya religion, but it disappeared not long after the founding of our country."
The confidant lieutenant general said: "I don't believe such outrageous things. General, the female military advisor is deceiving you."
Another asked: "Sir, what do they mean?"
Li Guopei said: "I don't know what he means. Military Advisor Lin got married today and invited me to have a drink at Ping'an Harbor." Wu You only gave him two choices, a prison cell or a banquet. Li Guopei was already relieved at this moment and could only lose.
I feel aggrieved and just don’t want to admit it for a moment.
The deputy general immediately said: "How can we get married on a day of war? I'm afraid it's the Hongmen Banquet."
Another said: "If they have malicious intentions, just fire them with cannons."
The deputy general thought for a while and asked: "General, if you go to see that military advisor to get married, what about the brothers?"
Li Guopei said: "Station here."
The lieutenant general said: "Why don't you just tell them to take the brothers to have a wedding banquet together. If they are not prepared to kill the general and go out, we will definitely be able to break through."
Li Guopei smiled bitterly and said: "That military advisor is definitely not someone willing to leave such a loophole. He must be prepared."
The lieutenant general disagreed: "How can a mere woman be considered complete? Are our brothers vegetarians?"
A soldier beside him said blankly: "General, you just said that this woman won every time."
Li Guopei waved his hand and said: "There is no need to argue. This woman is very clever in everything. Now that we are surrounded by them, how many of us can get out even if we break through?"
The deputy general gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to die! I'll fall in the hands of a woman. Even if the fish is dead and the net is broken, I'll be happy!" Then he pulled out the long knife from his waist and said, "Brothers! If you don't want to die, follow me!" He started to go up.
rush.
Li Guopei shouted: "Who dares to mess around!"
The deputy general stumbled: "General!"
Li Guopei sneered and looked at him for a long time: "I have never doubted you. But today you jumped out on your own." He ordered to take him down.
The lieutenant general was stunned: "What are you doing, general?" Before he finished speaking, Li Guopei's personal soldiers came over and wiped his shoulders, raised their arms and pushed him to the ground.
Li Guopei glanced at him and said, "Don't be impatient when you work carefully." Everyone was in an uproar. Li Guopei pointed at him and said, "This person must be from the King of Xining County."
"Wow--" Everyone was in chaos. The deputy general shouted injustice: "The general doesn't recognize the king of Xining County, he only recognizes the general!"
Li Guopei snorted: "Tie him up!" The soldiers took the rope and tied him up. Li Guopei said, "Even I just found out that she is better than Wan Zhang. How did you know that she wins every time?"
The deputy general said hurriedly: "I have inquired about her in Fuzhou and found that she has defeated Zheng Chaoer several times."
"Then why didn't you tell me?"
The deputy general said: "I'm afraid it has disturbed the morale of the army." As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the deputy general.
Li Guopei sneered and waved his hand to escort him down. Then he ordered to camp at the port for the time being. He led a dozen of the general's personal soldiers and took the tied lieutenant up the mountain with him. Wu You smiled and stood under the banner waiting for him, and stepped forward.
He cupped his hands and said, "Generals, welcome!" He then told the people around him, "Send some wine and food to the brothers in Camp Li tonight. The military advisor is getting married today."
The lieutenant shouted: "I'm afraid the food and wine are poisonous!"
Wu You said: "If you want to kill these brothers, just fire. Why waste poison and medicine? Poison and medicine are difficult to prepare." He asked casually, "Is this the work of the King of Xining County?"
Li Guopei nodded: "I'll go back and investigate with General Wu to get to the bottom of it."
"Okay." Wu You said, "It's best to get the evidence of the thief monk." He ordered people to keep a close watch on him and never let him run away or die. So he accompanied them on the horse, all the way down the mountain, along the
The wide concrete road ran towards Ping'an Port. Li Guopei and others said nothing, and were extremely surprised at how neat the road was.
When we arrived at Ping'an Port, the banquet had already started, and it was very lively with people drinking and drinking. Wu You quietly pulled someone near the door and asked, "Does Mr. Lin know what the military advisor and the others have done?"
The man said: "I know, I have been scolding him for a long time. General Jia listened honestly, and the military advisor hid in the house."
Wu You snorted: "Cunning!" Then he led Li Guopei and others in to find a place to settle, and said, "I have to accompany General Jia to stop the wine later, so I'll excuse you." After saying that, he slipped away.
Suddenly the groom's officer came out to toast, it was the guard general who was guarding Lin Daiyu today. Li Guopei quietly asked people who he was. The man gave him a strange look: "General Jarvis!"
Li Guopei said "Oh": "It turns out to be him! No wonder." No one bothered them after that, and they had a hearty meal of food and wine. Li Guopei and others were surprised. They had never seen such an enemy general being treated like this, and they were not afraid of them.
Ran away.
After the banquet was over, there were fireworks and gun salutes at the port, and everyone had a feast for their eyes. After watching the fireworks, Wu You came to find Li Guopei, saying that he was going to interrogate the deputy general. The deputy general had people locked up in an empty room, and he didn't even miss dinner.
His two men, Wu You and Li Guopei, went in and looked at him for a while, then ordered someone to search him.
Li Guopei asked curiously: "Have you not searched yet?"
Wu Youli said confidently: "Brothers who are guards also need to eat. Where can I find time?"
"..." Li Guopei said after a while, "You are really a little slack."
A soldier came forward and searched carefully for a long time, and found a Maitreya Buddha statue in his arms that was only half the size of a thumb. Wu You asked with a smile: "General, is there anything else you want to say?"
Seeing that there was no refutation, the deputy general closed his eyes and said slowly: "When Maitreya comes to the world, he will eradicate these evildoers." From then on, he did not say a word.
Li Guopei had a close personal relationship with him. He was stunned for a long time and only let out a long sigh. He had no intention of getting involved with the Maitreya sect and the king of Xining County, so he left this person with Wu You. Wu You asked him where he would stay at night, and he wanted to return to Yeliu Port.
Wu You made another personal trip and sent Li Guopei back to his own camp.
Li Guopei discussed with his confidants for three days, but still had not decided whether to surrender. Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "He has already decided to surrender. He just wants to delay for a few more days and change to a better official position." It is not good for so many people to block Yeliu Port.
Something happened! Jilong Port was a large place, so Wu You arranged for them to be stationed there first. A few days later, one of Li Guopei's soldiers disappeared out of thin air. Li Guopei was very anxious and asked around. The pirate leader of Jilong Port was named Yang.
Heng ordered people to check around, frowned and said: "Why is it missing?" Then he asked Dong Ming, the general manager of the six doors, to arrest him.
Dong Ming is the old jailer whom Lin Daiyu Jarvis pried back from Zhangzhou, Fujian in the early years. Over the years, he has gradually investigated all the old cases accumulated in Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. It is not a small matter to lose a soldier who has just surrendered.
Because these Li Army soldiers have just arrived and their barracks have not yet been built, they are still living in military tents. Li Guopei and other generals have houses to live in first. He is a soldier and should have lived with Li Guopei. But the houses are not big enough.
He then volunteered to live in the military tent.
Dong Ming inspected the soldier's tent carefully and said, "This man is a meticulous man, and everything is in perfect order."
Then he asked the person who saw him last. The person said: "He said he went to the market to go shopping and changed into ordinary clothes." After a pause, "Our general sent someone to inquire on the street, and he turned around."
Come back soon."
Dong Ming asked: "Do you know how he walked? Which shops did he go to?" The man shook his head. Dong Ming then took the portrait and went to the street to find out.
After going around in a circle and returning to Li Guopei's place, Dong Ming said: "I have a rough guess where this person has gone, but I can't find it according to my authority. I'm afraid General Yang will ask." Li Guopei hurriedly asked what was going on.
Dong Mingdao said, "I'm afraid that your personal soldier is just a trickster and was taken away by the security bureau."
Li Guopei was so frightened and anxious that he didn't bother to change his clothes and went to see Yang Heng with Dong Ming. Yang Heng didn't know why and said: "The Security Bureau is controlled by Mr. Gong Kun, so I can't pry around at will. Old Dong, you
Tell me what's going on!"
Dong Ming then said: "I found two brushes in the soldier's tent. One of them was dipped in ink, and the other one was obviously used but very clean. A brush dipped in ink cannot be cleaned no matter how hard it is washed. So we can see that
He didn't use it to dip it in ink, but to dip it in something else. General Li said he could write a few words, but not much. I asked about which shops he went to at the market, and I heard that he went to the post office.
, the gentleman at the post office also said that he asked him to write a letter for himself, and the letter was sent to his hometown of Cangzhou. I remember that most of the soldiers like General Li are from Jiangxi?"
Li Guopei said: "There are also people coming from other places."
Dong Mingdao: "Since this person can write a few words, he can't afford not to write a word. He even asked the post office ghostwriter to write his home address."
Li Guopei said: "His handwriting is just not good-looking."
Dong Ming said: "Why did he write the envelope himself for the other letter?"
Li Guopei was stunned: "Another letter?"
Dong Ming said: "Of the two pens in his account, the one that has been dipped in ink is probably used to write envelopes, and the one that has not been dipped in ink is used to write secret letters. I don't know what it is dipped in. This is a pirate port, and there are often
The pirates came to rest elsewhere, and people from the security bureau must be keeping an eye on the post office. Someone asked you to write a letter for me, but you dropped two letters into the mailbox, which will definitely attract their attention."
Yang Heng said: "Can't it be a letter for a friend?"
Dong Ming said: "So he left the post office safely, had lunch on the street, and walked around for half a day. Finally, he wandered to a tavern, had some wine and disappeared. The rest will have to be asked by the security bureau.
Already."
Yang Heng said "hmm" and said, "That means they were suspicious and checked the letter." So he sent someone to get the four treasures from the study. He himself wrote a letter to Gong Kun asking about it. Dong Ming stayed in the chicken coop for the time being.
Watch the follow-up in Hong Kong.
A letter was sent back from Dajiala that night. As Dong Ming expected, the soldier's behavior when he put the letter into the mailbox aroused the suspicion of the security bureau. If he had taken another letter out of his pocket openly,
Everyone would think that he was sending a letter on behalf of a friend. However, he secretly took out the second letter from his sleeve, put it under the envelope written by Mr. Please, and threw it in. He also looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to him. After he left,
, the Security Bureau took out his two letters, and saw that the handwriting on the letter he took out from his sleeve was ugly, but the recipient was a fan from the capital. The man wrote to the fan, knowing that his handwriting was not good, and he had a ghostwriter.
Here, why don't you ask Mr. to write? Fantou would have some face. The people from the Security Bureau opened the letter and saw a blank piece of paper inside. They went to the street to look for him, and finally caught him in a tavern.
Two masterpieces appeared next to Li Guopei, and he felt depressed. Yang Heng could only comfort him with a few words and send him away. Then he took out the letter, looked at it, smiled, and burned it. It turned out that there was some content in the letter that he couldn't tell.
Li Guopei.
The lieutenant general Li Guopei kidnapped on the day Lin Daiyu got married was not from the Maitreya cult, but from Wan Zhang. The lieutenant general was ordered to pretend to be a Maitreya cultist and deliberately exposed flaws to let Li Guopei notice. He also deliberately hid the little Maitreya statue on his body.
When Zhen Zuo saw that someone was holding the tank for him, he became more courageous. This island of Taiwan is separated from the outside world by the sea, so it was difficult for news to spread. So he wrote a letter and wanted to send it through the post office. Since then, Li Guopei's men have arrived.
, the people from the Security Bureau waited at the post office, and could not let go of any letter from soldier Li Guopei. The soldier did not secretly take out another letter, but took it out openly. Even so, he was still caught
.
A few days later, Li Guopei obtained the confession of the soldier. It turned out that he was a subordinate of the King of Xining County and only knew about the Maitreya Cult.
Seeing that the matter was over, Dong Ming wanted to return to Dajiala. Li Guopei respected his ability and escorted him out of the camp personally. When he arrived at the gate of the camp, he saw Yang Heng leading two people and hurried over, shouting: "
Old Dong! Your son is in trouble!"
Dong Ming was shocked: "What's wrong with Yu'er?"
Yang Heng stood up and dismounted, and gave him a thumbs up: "Dong Yu is a man, he dares to do the Immortal Jump! Now in Fujian, he will be imprisoned."
Dong Ming blurted out: "Impossible!"
"He confessed it himself!" Yang Heng snorted, "He is one of the masterminds."
Dong Ming hurriedly asked: "Is there any other mastermind?"
Yang Hengnai pointed behind him: "These two are sent by Jia Lian, you can ask yourself."
But I saw the man in charge with a wry smile on his face: "Mr. Dong, the other mastermind is my eldest girl."
Yang Heng was stunned: "Minister Jia?"
Yang Heng stood by and gloated: "How can Minister Jia have that free time? You are a blessing!"
