Xu Maoxiu was distracted, and Xu Bangchui was not much better. He was already blushing from these few words.
"We are not deserters! We were framed by the dog servants!" he shouted sharply with eyes wide open.
"Whether you have been framed or not, I don't care. I only know that if you are on the recovery list, you are a deserter! I will arrest you and bring you to justice!" General Liu also glared and shouted, "Whether you have been wronged or not, you can decide for yourself! Hiding in Tibet.
What kind of hero is it to live an ignoble existence?"
"Sir, are you just catching deserters?" Xu Maoxiu took a deep breath and shouted.
General Liu shouted, and a follower stood up and shook a document out of his hand.
"Of course it is!" he replied.
"Brother..." Xu Bangchui turned his head and looked over with a complicated expression.
Xu Maoxiu looked at the people approaching step by step and sighed.
"The crime of desertion is unforgivable." He said, letting go of his hand, "Is it possible that he really killed these brothers and escaped?"
As he let go of his hand, Xu Bangchui also let go. The two soldiers immediately turned over to avoid it, holding their throats and coughing continuously.
General Liu waved his hand, and the others cheered and surrounded them, aiming their weapons at them.
"You can be considered a good man!" He said, then looked surprised and said, "Is it... you?"
By this time they had gotten closer and could see each other clearly.
Xu Maoxiu was also stunned for a moment.
"It's you!" He also said in surprise.
General Liu looked at the man in front of him with a complicated expression.
"It turns out it's you." He said, "Since we have a relationship, I will give you some dignity."
He said and waved his hands.
"Don't break your arms and legs. Just tie them up and take them away."
Seeing that the two men did not resist and allowed themselves to be tied up and pushed away, General Liu lost his previous excitement.
It seemed that after the catharsis just now, the sullenness he had suppressed for a long time had dissipated.
It turned out to be this man. He frowned and looked at the person being taken away by the soldiers.
He had been paying attention to the man who had lost his hand, and knew that although it was reattached, it was still useless. He saw it with his own eyes at the Taiping Bureau. He no longer needed to hold the knife with his right hand and started cooking with his left hand.
Taipingju has money and is willing to support him and train slowly, but there is no money in the army.
If a soldier has his limbs broken, he has to reattach them all over again. He cannot master bow, arrow, sword, spear, sword or halberd in a day or two.
He no longer paid attention to the cook, let alone Taipingju.
I already knew this was impossible.
The original case of hurting people was returned to the Jingzhao Mansion. He was too lazy to meddle in other people's business and ignored it. He just pretended that what happened that night had never happened. He didn't expect that he would encounter it again today, under the same situation.
It turned out that this man ran from Taiping Ju to Shenxian Ju.
"Didn't you see those few remaining people?" He thought of something and turned his head and asked.
"No, these are the only two people who came out of the Immortal Residence." The attendant replied.
General Liu took out the anonymous document. There were seven names on it, but the only hidden place it pointed to was Shenxianju.
"Could it be that you are living in Taiping?" he said suddenly.
"Sir, let's go and investigate." The attendant said.
General Liu nodded.
"Check! Don't let anyone go!" he said fiercely, while getting on his horse.
…………….
As it was approaching noon, there was no one in front of the Yamen.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Someone shouted.
Xiang Qimao withdrew his gaze and looked at the few officials who were walking out of the official hall. It seemed that they were going to eat together.
"I'm from the prison gate. I'm here to pick up a document." Xiang Qi said hurriedly.
"Go and come back in the afternoon." The clerks said impatiently.
Xiang Qi nodded and bowed in response. Seeing the minor officials walking past chatting and laughing, he looked back and saw that the Jingzhong Prison was next to him. He had been paying attention to it in the past few days, but he had never seen anyone new.
So those anonymous letters that were widely circulated have all fallen into disuse.
This was originally expected.
Also, he himself is a petty official, and he also knows that the government will pay no attention to this kind of anonymous complaint, especially if it is an inconsequential matter of desertion.
He was just trying his luck and speaking out in a bad mood.
Xiang Qi turned around and walked back slowly.
Suddenly, there was a chaos on the street.
"Go away, go away!"
The leading soldier waved his whip and shouted to clear the way. People on the road gave way and watched the group of soldiers galloping past.
Xiang Qi in the crowd was pushed around and his hat was knocked off, but he didn't notice it and looked at the group of people passing by in disbelief, including the two people being escorted...
The crowd was pointing and talking.
"A thief?"
"..The clothes don't look like it either..."
One of the two people looked towards the street with bright eyes, and turned to Qi Qi to hide his face behind others.
The people and horses passed by quickly. This kind of thing is also common in Beijing, and the people on the street also dispersed.
Xiang Qi stood there for a long time without moving, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.
Really...really...caught!
He breathed out a few quick breaths, swallowed, looked around twice, and hurried away in a hurry, forgetting to pick up the hat that fell on the ground, and quickly disappeared on the street.
In the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the noise broke the noon tranquility.
"It's really rare that you adults have actually caught a thief..." The subordinates laughed and looked at the documents handed over by the soldiers, preparing to sign them, while looking at the two tied people behind them, "
..It’s just too few, why only two?”
"Don't worry, there are still a few more that will be sent to you shortly." Soldier Jia said, urging, "Hurry up and put them in jail. We still have to report to the military headquarters."
The subordinate official's eyes fell on the document.
"The Ministry of War?" He raised his head and asked in confusion, "Why go to the Ministry of War to report? It's just a few thieves."
"They are deserters." Soldier A said, urging with a bit of impatience, "Hurry up, hurry up, we have to rush to help you capture the other few."
The subordinate said "oh" and signed the document.
The armored soldiers took the documents and pushed the people toward the prison.
deserter…
Sounds a little familiar...
The junior official was standing in the official hall, still a little stunned. Where had he heard of this?
No, I'm getting older and my memory is getting worse.
The subordinate turned around and went to make tea for himself, preparing to take a good rest. The fragrant tea was just ready. After smelling the aroma, before it was put to his mouth, someone came in shouting.
"Brother! It's not good!"
The subordinate almost spilled the sencha. He looked up in embarrassment and saw the jailer in charge of the cell.
"What's wrong?" he asked, putting down the tea bowl.
"Brother, what happened in Taiping Residence?" The warder took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice, "Why did you send those people in again?"
"Taipingju?" The subordinate official was startled.
Taipingju is now considered a famous store in the capital, but its delicious food alone is not enough to overwhelm the jailers of their Jingzhao Mansion. What scares them is its reputation.
When was the earliest time? Someone greeted them and said that several people were coming in and asked them to entertain them well.
When entertaining in a prison, it will naturally not be good wine and meat, but red-hot boards and sticks.
But the person didn't arrive in the end, and the person who greeted them died instead.
If this time was a coincidence, it was just that those people were lucky, but then there was a second time, and this time, these people were really sent in.
This time it was even more lively, some people said hello and entertained them well, and some people said hello and they paid attention to their propriety.
Of course, those who enter the cell are all small pawns, and there are backers behind them. This kind of game between backers is even more common for them in the prison.
Soon, these people were let out without incident. Although the person who greeted them and treated them well was not dead, they were almost dead.
Is this another coincidence? Maybe it really is a coincidence, but if they really thought it was a coincidence, people like them wouldn't be hanging around until now.
They wrote down the names of these people and every incident they were involved in.
Taipingju, Fan Jianglin, Fan Shitou, Xu Maoxiu, Xu Sigan, Xu Layue, Fan Sanchou, Xu Bangchui….
The subordinate looked at the document and pointed at two of the names that he remembered well.
Xu Maoxiu, Xu Bangchui!
"I remembered!" the subordinate official shouted, enlightened.
"Why don't you think about it? Brother, we all remember it clearly, how could you forget it?" said the jailer.
"No, I thought about what happened to the deserters!" said the subordinate, turning around to turn over some cases.
The documents were pushed away and the tea bowl was knocked over.
The subordinate ignored them and quickly pulled out several documents, which he opened and read.
The jailer also came over to take a look and saw that it was a sealed letter of complaint.
"...Sir, there are many more anonymous letters..."
"...Which day doesn't exist? Don't bother..."
"..Sir, the person mentioned above is the person who lived in Taiping several times before..."
"..Taipingju? Then don't pay attention to it. It's another game between the boss and the boss behind the scenes... We can't get involved..."
"...Your Majesty, you must be aware that this Tai Ping Ju is an evil star. If you fall in love with it, you will die or be disabled. Look at Liu Xiaoli now..."
"...That's right, this Taipingju is indeed evil. If you don't stop, you will destroy your family and destroy your family..."
"...But don't worry about this kind of anonymous letter, no one will take it seriously..."
The subordinate officer's ears rang with the conversation he had with the master of the palace a few days ago. At that time, it was just a joke, but he didn't expect that someone would really take care of it! He was actually arrested! He was even thrown into their prison! They also signed the documents!
As you can see, there are going to be waves again!
"What happened again?" he said, grabbing the documents and running towards the Lord's official hall.
What happened?
In the backyard of Taiping Residence, many people suddenly poured in. With screams, Fan Jianglin overturned the dustpan used to dry vegetables in the courtyard, blocking the two soldiers who followed.
On the other side, the two brothers were suppressed by a swarm of soldiers.
"The government handles the case, apprehends the fugitive, and arrests him without mercy, otherwise he will be shot without mercy!"
Continuous shouts came from outside the courtyard, and archers rushed in at the same time, aiming their strong bows at the Maoyuanshan brothers in the courtyard who grabbed various tools and prepared to resist.
With a roar, the two brothers who were pinned down by the four soldiers stood up and threw the four soldiers out fiercely.
As soon as they stood firm, the scream of long arrows piercing the air was heard.
An arrow hit a brother's shoulder accurately, with such force that the man leading him fell backwards.
The screams of the maid and Banqin by the window tore through half of the clear sky.
Cheng Jiaoniang stood by the window, motionless and expressionless, looking at the chaos and noise in the courtyard indifferently.
