The small inn was surrounded by the Qin King's army. Liu Xiaoqi grabbed the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest calmly said: "They are not our people. We are a small Taoist temple, and the Green Forest People's Committee has raised a few. Where did the soldiers come from?"
Dong Yu pointed outside: "Aren't you the ones who provoked these people?"
"Yes," the Taoist priest said, "our people went to inform us."
Dong Yu looked out the window again: "Such a big battle is definitely not here to catch thieves."
"We are here to arrest you," the Taoist priest said with a smile, "and they will arrest us as well."
Liu Xiaoqi's eyes twitched: "What does Taoist Master mean by this?"
Dong Yu said: "Don't you think you just threw yourself into the bar?"
The Taoist priest nodded and said, "Yes, we just threw ourselves into a trap."
Dong Yu stared at him: "Did the informer also tell you your true identity?"
"I've said it," said the Taoist priest, "even my mother is here. Our mother and father-in-law and Eunuch Li are all here. I don't even have a title, so what does it matter? What matters is you little girl. Apart from her,
, who still knows where the Supreme Emperor is?"
Dong Yu asked curiously: "What does the King of Qin want the Supreme Emperor to do?"
The Taoist priest smiled: "The handle of King Yan."
"That's bullshit!" Dong Yu said, "Even if he got the Supreme Emperor out, wouldn't it be fine if King Yan only said that the Supreme Emperor was a fake and King Qin was a liar?"
The Taoist priest thought for a while: "No matter how King Yan responds, King Qin will not think about it now. The Supreme Emperor has a lot of rare things to live in, and King Qin can get a lot out of him."
Jia Gui leaned his head from behind and said, "Taoist Master, do you want to use the power of King Qin to rescue the Supreme Emperor and then take him out of King Qin's hands?" The Taoist priest smiled slightly. Jia Gui said to Liu Xiaoqi, "Brother Qi, since
So, let’s take the initiative.”
Liu Xiaoqi was worried. There were so many people outside that he couldn't beat them. So he asked, "How can we take the initiative?"
Jia Gui patted his chest: "I'm going to negotiate with them. Seventh Brother, please be careful with these two Taoist eunuchs. There is also a former concubine in my house. Don't let them go out to cause trouble."
Dong Yu hurriedly said: "Don't be naughty!"
"Who is being naughty?" Jia Gui said proudly, "My eloquence is also hereditary, okay? My father, my mother, my uncle, which one of us can't be a politician?" Erbo Yang laughed loudly.
Liu Xiaoqi blurted out: "Let her go!" He looked back at Liu Mingyi and hummed, "Her aunt caused trouble, let her family take care of it." After a pause, "Let her go even if she causes trouble.
Their family will take care of it themselves!”
Jia Gui stretched out his arms and walked towards the door. The bald Eunuch Li felt something was wrong and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Uncle Yang took the opportunity to catch him.
Pushing the door open, Jia Gui jumped up and waved to the soldiers outside: "Everyone, who is the leader?"
There was a man who looked like a general sitting on a horse and said: "This is the last general."
Jia Gui cupped his hands towards him and said crisply: "I want to know why this general is surrounding this place."
The general was a little amused when he saw her seriousness, and said: "There is an important bandit in your inn, and I have been ordered to arrest him."
Jia Gui said: "We are not bandits, we are tourists. The bandits were caught by us. Can we receive the reward?" The general looked at her without saying a word. Jia Gui said with a smile, "Actually, I know what you are here to do."
He waved and said, "General, can you come near me? There are a few words I don't want too many people to hear."
The general saw that she was just a little girl, and she was very good-looking, so he got off his horse and walked up to her. "What do you want to say?"
Jia Gui said in a low voice: "We...are really people from the green forest, but the Qin State has never done anything illegal this time." The general snorted. Jia Gui lowered his voice even more, "There is a eunuch among the thieves, and there are
The Emperor’s little wife and illegitimate son.”
The general was startled: "What?!"
Jia Gui said with a sullen face: "Really! We still have news about the Supreme Emperor. I want to see the King of Qin. Many facts are confidential, so I can only tell the King of Qin alone. If you don't believe it, send me to Chang'an immediately.
"The general looked at her doubtfully. She added, "Maybe we can all go to Chang'an together." Jia Gui paused and said with a smile, "The general is here to catch thieves, isn't he? We caught the thieves, didn't we? Help King Qin catch the thieves.
, should we be rewarded, right? Besides, we won’t leave Qin for about a while, so we might as well stay here as officials. What’s your name, general? Do you want to get to know him first?”
The general couldn't tell what was wrong. He hesitated for a moment and clasped his fists and said, "What's the last name of the last general?"
Jia Gui also clasped his fists and said, "My surname is Wang." He glanced around and said, "It's very tiring with so many people. Chang'an City is not far from Huashan, so let's go now. General He, do you want to take the store with us too?"
General He said: "Everyone alive will be taken away."
Jia Gui said: "Then...it delays the business of other people's stores and frightens them. You have to compensate them some money later."
General He felt that the girl was completely ignorant of the importance, so he could only say: "My lord, I will not let them lose."
Jia Gui nodded: "General, please bring some people in with me. Eunuch Li is very skilled in martial arts, so you must pay close attention to him. The illegitimate son of the Supreme Emperor is a Taoist priest, and his Taoist name seems to be Zhiwei, and he may also have some skills."
General He hurriedly called over a dozen soldiers and followed Jia Gui into the inn. Jia Gui pointed at the bald eunuch and said, "This is the father-in-law named Li." General He ordered him to be tied up. He pointed to the Taoist priest again, "That one
Whose illegitimate child is it?" He tied up the Taoist priest again. The soldiers went inside and found the innkeeper and his wife and the old woman from Bajing Palace who were hiding in the cabinet. Jia Gui stepped forward to comfort him. General He thought he would have to beat him.
After a few words, it turned into an errand, and it went so smoothly that it was weird. Then he led the men and horses and took these people away. Naturally, Jia Gui and his group politely invited them to get on their horses, and supported them with kind words.
There was no conversation all the way. After entering Chang'an, General He first went to see the King of Qin to give his orders. The King of Qin was shocked when he heard this, and ordered to bring Miss Wang to see him.
Not long after, Jia Gui strutted up to King Qin and clasped his fists: "Hello, Your Majesty."
King Qin saw that she seemed unfamiliar with etiquette and had no time to care, so he said, "Do you have something to tell the lonely king?"
Jia Gui nodded: "Your Majesty, please remove the rest of the people on the left and right. I have something important to report."
The King of Qin then withdrew, leaving only a few important guards. Jia Guinai coaxed an old man from Liu Mingyi to come to Huashan to deliver a message, to what the old woman said in her room, and what the Taoist priest had just said, she conveyed everything to the King of Qin. "
Therefore, the people who informed the prince were their own people. They knew that they could not save the emperor by themselves, so they wanted to use the prince's hand. And they must have a plan, otherwise the emperor would be like a wolf from a tiger's den.
?”
After hearing this, King Qin's face was filled with uncertainty, and he said after a while: "That old lady, please help me save the Supreme Emperor?"
Jia Gui nodded: "After all, they don't know where the Supreme Emperor is. Even if they know, it's not easy to get into the gangster's den. By the way, the illegitimate son even persuaded my seventh brother to help. I was in the house at that time, I don't know
What did they say?"
The King of Qin thought for a moment and ordered his "Seventh Brother" to be brought in. Not long after, Liu Xiaoqi also came. Jia Gui looked at him and smiled: "Seventh Brother, just tell the truth. After all, we have never committed any crime in Qin.
He turned back to look at King Qin, "right, Your Majesty?"
King Qin nodded and said, "I don't care about the affairs of other countries." He asked Liu Xiaoqi again.
Liu Xiaoqi had an exchange with Jia Gui on the road, and then told them what happened again. They even told the Taoist priest how they used Zhou Xiaolan as an example to give advice to the Taoist priest in the morning. At the end, he said: "Looking at their appearance, I am suspicious of the Javanese country."
What is the relationship between the Zhou Dynasty leader and the Supreme Emperor? "Our people went to inform us" is what Taoist Master Zhiwei said personally. It is better for the prince to interrogate the informer."
Jia Gui laughed and said: "It's so strange. Why do they think we won't tell the truth to the prince?"
Liu Xiaoqi coughed and whispered: "The prince is the head of the government."
King Qin thought for a while and said: "The Supreme Emperor is on Jinggang Mountain in Jiangxi?"
Liu Xiaoqi nodded: "I heard from my niece that the mountain king has gone off to some unknown place and the security on the mountain is lax."
The King of Qin said: "You righteous men, are you willing to help me rescue the Supreme Emperor?"
Jia Gui looked at Liu Xiaoqi and said, "I'm not going anyway. I heard that the road on the mountain is extremely difficult, there's nothing good to eat, and they're all stinky men."
Liu Xiaoqi said: "Your Majesty, we people in the Green Forest are the most moral people, and others are not ashamed to fight with fellow Taoists. I am willing to help the Prince secretly, but I hope it will not be revealed. I will still be hanging around in the Tao in the future."
The King of Qin looked at him and said: "A righteous man shows his talents, why not work under my account?"
Liu Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Idle people are used to having no rules and cannot be restrained. After the matter is completed, I am sure that the prince will not miss my reward."
King Qin laughed loudly: "It's easy to talk about!" Then he asked about the situation in Jinggang Mountain.
Liu Xiaoqi then told what everyone in Green Forest knew, and finally said: "The king named Wan Zhang is a person, but it seems that he has had big business to do in the past six months, and he is probably not on the mountain."
King Qin nodded and ordered people to send them out. Jia Gui said: "The innkeeper was innocently frightened. I hope the prince will reward them with some money."
King Qin smiled and said, "If you still worry about that, just don't worry."
Jia Gui said again: "I know that the prince will not let us go. Can the residence be more comfortable? I want to go out for a shopping trip and buy some food, food and jewelry. I think that is no problem. The prince can just send a few people to follow me. I don't mind.
.”
Seeing her straightforward question, King Qin thought for a moment and said, "All of you righteous men are important people. I'm afraid you will be targeted by bad guys."
Jia Gui smiled and said: "We are not economical lamps. Don't worry, Your Majesty. If anyone has an idea for us, it will be unless it is the illegitimate son of the Supreme Emperor. If you bother to interrogate him, it is best to catch all his soldiers and crabs." They are so diligent, King Qin
Feeling less alert, he placed them in a house and ordered soldiers to guard them closely.
He also brought Taoist priests and others in for interrogation. Unexpectedly, these people had not been hidden and they also confessed. The old woman was the concubine Hu who was beside the Supreme Emperor in the early years. At that time, the Supreme Emperor was just a prince. I am afraid that the seizure of the legitimate son failed and the Supreme Emperor failed.
He sent the pregnant concubine Hu to Huashan to hide in order to leave a root for himself, and also sent an eunuch, Eunuch Li, to protect him. Yesterday, Liu Mingyi reported the news. Although she said that "the old man is dead," Eunuch Li and others
Everyone guessed that he must still be alive. When asked about the informant, they all denied that he was sent by them and called him a traitor and a thief.
Naturally, the King of Qin did not fully believe it, and ordered the informant to be interrogated. Unexpectedly, the informant was not in good health, so he fell ill and died within less than two hours of the interrogation.
At this moment, Jia Gui coaxed Liu Mingyi to draw a map of Jinggang Mountains. Although the drawing was a mess and he couldn't see what it was, he still presented it to the palace as if he had made a great achievement. King Qin sent someone to ask Liu Mingyi.
Did Xiao Qi and others have an opinion? When Dong Yu heard this, he said, "It's obvious that he committed suicide by taking poison!" He also reminded, "There must be important people in Qin who are their people." After hearing this, the King of Qin felt that it was reasonable and intensified the interrogation of Eunuch Li.
On the other end, they sent people to Jiangxi to investigate the Jinggang Mountains, and also to investigate Yang Erbo. He also fell into the hole Chen Ruijin dug. The girl named Wang Fuler was very clever. She said she was from Changxing, Jiangsu, but she was obviously not.
The Jiangsu accent has a bit of Beijing accent. Changxing is a small place, so the young master of Qin State had no choice but to send someone to investigate.
Jia Gui only lived in peace for one day, and the next day she happily took Liu Mingyi for a stroll on the street, accompanied by four soldiers, almost like the eldest lady of the general's family. When she returned to her residence in the evening, she asked someone to ask the King of Qin, she
She wanted to buy two hairpins if she would be rewarded for her many achievements. The more she was attracted to the King of Qin, the more relieved she became. He actually ordered someone to give her two hundred taels of silver, and also asked the princess to reward her with some jewelry. Jia Gui took advantage of the situation and asked
After living in Qin for a long time, do you have any pocket money? If not, you can let them do some small business. The King of Qin asked the people around him "What kind of small business?", and one eunuch said: "I think it is a thief." King Qin asked the people around him "What kind of small business?"
Then he criticized them for being "nonsense" and ordered people to send them some more money. Jia Gui took the money to buy things again the next day.
The most trustworthy person around the King of Qin was his adviser Ding Chu. Although he knew his origin, he was really talented and loyal, so he discussed the matter with him. Ding Chu pretended to be a deliverer and quietly went to see Liu Xiaoqi and others.
, returned to the palace, frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, these green forest people, I can't see anything right. Is there any other conspiracy?"
King Qin said: "They are very diligent."
Ding Chu said: "The person named Yin and his niece are from Beijing, the person named Yang is from Yuzhang, Jiangxi, the person named Dong is from Zhangzhou, Fujian, and the little girl named Wang is from Changxing, Jiangsu. How did they get together?
Together?"
King Qin said: "They also said that the master of the little girl from the Yin family who sent the message was the one who recognized Wan Zhang, the bandit leader of Jinggangshan, and he was from Chang'an."
Ding Chu said: "Thieves from all over the world come together to rob and repay homes, so how can they get together for fun? What's more, it's autumn, how many tourists come from other places at this time? Besides, they
It was too easy to surrender. They didn’t seek official positions, and they didn’t seem to want to seek wealth. Also, Miss Wang and Miss Yin both looked very outstanding. How could there be such outstanding women in ordinary Green Forest families?
It’s just one person, but there are two of them? Even if there is no other conspiracy, there must be another identity.”
King Qin said: "What do you think?"
Ding Chu said: "Then Miss Wang goes out for a walk every day, just because she wants to contact someone. Why don't you just relax and see what she does?"
