The younger brother asked in surprise: "Third brother, are they really assassins?"
Tang San glared and reprimanded: "Go as quickly as possible if I ask you to go, where did you come from so much nonsense!"
The young man shrank his neck in fright, did not dare to say anything more, and ran away in a hurry.
Tang San was not a good man and a believer in women. He had suffered losses from others, how could he not get them back?
Now in Luoyang City, the biggest thing is to capture the assassins. No matter who it is, as long as they get involved with these assassins, they will definitely not get better. Tang San doesn't care whether the grain merchant named Wu is an assassin or not. If he dares to mess with him, he will
These people have to be carried around without food.
The little ruffian followed Tang San's instructions and hurried to the county house, saying urgently to the government servant guarding the door: "Report to the county magistrate quickly, we...we found the assassin!"
When the officials heard this, they were all shocked. They dared not delay, and hurriedly brought the gangster into the county house to meet Dong Xuan. Hearing that Tang San had discovered the assassin, Dong Xuan stood up involuntarily and asked: "What are you talking about?"
really?"
"Third brother sent the villain here. Third brother said that those grain merchants are assassins in disguise!" the little ruffian said confidently.
Dong Xuan took a deep breath and asked, "Where are they now?"
"We are walking towards the north city gate. It seems that we are planning to leave the city!"
Dong Xuan said nothing and walked out quickly, saying to his servants: "Gather everyone and rush to the North City Gate immediately!"
After receiving Tang San's tip, the county government officials headed by Dong Xuan rushed to the north gate one after another.
However, the county government is not close to the North City Gate. It is impossible for Dong Xuan and others to catch up with the grain merchant named Wu before they leave the city. But with Tang San here, how can they let them out of the city smoothly?
The grain merchant surnamed Wu led the convoy to the North City Gate. A soldier guarding the city gate came forward, scanned the grain team first, and then asked in a deep voice: "Who is your leader? Let me
He came out and spoke!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the grain merchant surnamed Wu stepped forward with a smile on his face, nodded and bowed and said: "Master Jun, I am a grain merchant. I originally brought grain to sell in the city, but the business is not good, so now I can only go out of the city.
Just try your luck."
After a pause, he looked towards the city gate. There was a long queue of people leaving the city. He approached the soldier, took out two turtle coins from his sleeves, and secretly put them into the soldier's hands. He was very happy.
He said quietly: "Master Jun, please see if you can make it easier for the little ones to get out of the city as soon as possible!"
The soldier held the two turtle coins in his hand and glanced down. The cold expression on his face softened a lot, showing a look of satisfaction.
He put the two turtle coins into his arms without leaving any trace, and asked seriously: "What is in the carriage? Is it all food?"
"Yes, yes, yes! They are all corn! If you don't believe it, military master, you can check it!" The grain merchant surnamed Wu shouted to his servant: "Quickly, quickly, bring down a few baskets and let military master see it!"
Several young men agreed one after another, climbed onto the carriage, took down several baskets of corn from the roof, and placed them in front of the soldiers.
The soldier lowered his head and saw that it was all yellow corn. He put his hand in and felt inside. It was all corn and nothing else.
He nodded and said, "Okay, put it back. I'll go over and report it to Lord Junhou!" As he spoke, the soldier turned and walked towards the city gate.
When guarding the city gates in the capital, the highest-ranking official is the city gate captain. Below the city gate captain, there are military commanders, and below that, there are twelve city gate marquises.
The soldier walked up to a military prince, stepped in and saluted, and said: "Sir, there is a group of grain merchants who are leaving the city. They have many vehicles, and it is too inconvenient to be blocked here at the city gate. I think you can let them go first.
When you go out of the city, you can avoid congested roads."
After hearing this, the Marquis raised his eyes and took a look. Sure enough, seven or eight grain trucks were parked on the road, blocking most of the road. It was very inconvenient for the people going out of the city and entering the city to pass by the grain trucks. The Marquis
He frowned and asked, "Have you checked everything?"
"Sir, I have checked it carefully. The carriage is only loaded with corn and nothing else."
"Yes!" Junhou nodded and said, "Guide them to the way!"
The military soldier simply agreed, walked quickly to the grain merchant named Wu, and asked him for a road guide. After a short time, he got the road guide and handed it to the military marquis. The military marquis looked over it carefully and found no problems, and was about to speak.
, at this time, Tang San trotted over and said, "Brother Xiao!"
The name of this military lord was Xiao Ying. Since Tang San lived in this area of Beicheng, he often met with the military lord who guarded the city gate. They were very familiar with each other and called him brothers.
Seeing Tang San coming, Xiao Ying smiled and asked, "Tang San, why are you here again?"
Tang San came to the city gate early in the morning and acted as a guard at the city gate. He stared at him for more than an hour. He thought he had left, but he didn't expect him to come back so soon. Tang San raised his head and said: "Something's wrong!"
As he spoke, he came to Xiao Ying, nuzzled his lips towards the grain team, and whispered: "Brother Xiao, you are not planning to let them out of the city, are you?"
Xiao Ying looked puzzled and asked: "Is there any problem?"
"Their problem is huge! I suspect these grain merchants are assassins in disguise!" Tang San said nonsense seriously.
He was deliberately trying to make trouble with this group of grain merchants, and he was looking for trouble. If he didn't kill them, he would have to skin them alive.
But Xiao Ying didn't know about Tang San's feud with this grain merchant. After hearing his words, Xiao Ying's face changed drastically and she asked nervously: "Are you sure?"
Tang San said sternly: "Although I don't dare to be 100% sure, it is 90% certain! I have already informed Magistrate Dong, and I think Magistrate Dong is coming soon! Brother Xiao, you have to stabilize them now.
We must not let them out of the city!"
Xiao Ying's palms were sweating, and she nodded repeatedly at Tang San. If this grain merchant was really an assassin pretending to be an assassin and slipped out of the city under his nose, not to mention his official position, he might not even be able to save his head.
Liveable.
On the other hand, if I really captured all the assassins, it would be a great achievement!
He winked at Tang San and signaled him to be quiet. Then he turned his head slightly and whispered to an Army Sima beside him: "Find all the brothers who are on duty today. Be careful and don't make too big a mistake."
movement!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Xiao Ying said to another village leader: "You take a few brothers over there and delay me as long as possible on the grounds of inspection!"
"Yes! Sir!" The village chief waved to the dozen soldiers on the side and led them straight to the food team.
Seeing a group of soldiers approaching, the grain merchant surnamed Wu asked with a smile on his face: "Master, can you guys leave the city now?"
The commander rolled his eyes at him, chuckled, and said with a smile, "Why are you anxious? If there is no problem after the inspection, of course I will let you out of the city!"
As he spoke, he looked at the carriages on the side, waved his hand and said, "Check it for me! Look carefully. If there are any omissions, we will all be in trouble!"
All the soldiers agreed in unison and spread out, in pairs, to check the food on each carriage.
Upon seeing this, the grain merchant surnamed Wu's eyes flashed, he walked up to the village commander with a smile on his face, and whispered: "Master Jun, how long will it take to check so much grain? It's almost noon now, and my people are also We are all hungry, so I would like to ask Master Jun to let me out of the city for your convenience!"
As he spoke, he took off the money bag hanging from his waist and stuffed it into the hands of the village chief. Normally, he would have accepted it happily, but this time he did not dare.
The village elder's face sank, and he threw the money bag directly back into the arms of the grain merchant surnamed Wu, and scolded in a deep voice: "What are you doing? Are you trying to bribe me?"
"No, no, no, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I just hope that it will be convenient for the military master to not embarrass me..."
Before he finished speaking, the village chief became furious, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Are you saying that I am deliberately trying to make things difficult for you?"
"I……"
"I think you want to be imprisoned for a few days!" The village chief glared at the grain merchant surnamed Wu, and put his hand on the sword under his ribs.
The grain merchant surnamed Wu shrank his neck in fright, took two steps back, and did not dare to say another word. The village chief glared at him again, and commanded his soldiers: "Search! Search basket by basket for me! Search carefully!" Search!"
It was obvious that the other party was deliberately looking for trouble. The grain merchant surnamed Wu turned his head to look at Junhou. At this time, Tang San, who was with Xiao Ying, also tilted his head, crossed one leg, and seemed to be smiling. He looked towards them with a non-smiling look.
The two sides' eyes met, and the smile on Tang San's face became even stronger. He raised his hand and scratched his neck, as if to say, look at how I will kill you this time!
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and this is the truth. No matter how powerful the grain merchant surnamed Wu and his boys are, if they have a dispute with them on their own land, they will not be able to take any advantage. It will cause a series of troubles.
Looking at Tang San with a proud and ruffian look on his face, the grain merchant surnamed Wu sighed secretly. He looked away and looked at the soldiers who were searching the grain baskets. They were really loading the grain baskets on the carriage one basket after another. Move it down, and then search carefully one basket after another.
At this time, more than 20 boys from the grain team came to the grain merchant named Wu and asked him with their eyes, what should we do now?
The grain merchant surnamed Wu had cold sweat on his forehead, lowered his head, and said nothing. Seeing this, the boys all narrowed their eyes.
One of them looked at the few boys opposite. The men understood and walked towards the soldiers who were checking the grain basket. A young man in his early twenties said: "Master, if you search like this, I'm afraid we will all be dead after dark." Can't we get out of the city? Isn't the military master deliberately making things difficult for us?"
The soldier became angry and said with a sneer: "Making things difficult for you? Damn it, even if I make things difficult for you, what can you do?"
The soldiers guarding the city gate were all well-informed and knew how to read people's orders. Although the soldiers did not know who the grain merchants were in this group, they could all tell that it was the military prince who wanted to make things difficult for them.
Of course, they must try their best to cater to the wishes of Lord Junhou.
"Master, you have to be lenient and I hope you won't make things difficult for me!"
"Damn it! I'm just giving you a hard time, so what can you do?" As he spoke, the soldier gave the boy a hard push. The boy stood there like a wooden stake, without moving.
.
Seeing this, the soldier raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Hey! You're still a fucking practitioner!" As he spoke, the soldier pushed the boy again. This time he used all his strength, but the boy still stood.
He did not move at the same place, but he was the one who took several steps back due to the force of the rebound. When the soldiers were retreating, they happened to be tripped by a grain basket. He could not stand, and he and the basket fell down together.
On the ground, the corn in the basket was scattered all over the ground.
However, while the corn was spilled, a silver object also rolled out of the basket. There were many people watching at the scene. People saw the thing falling out of the basket and exclaimed: "That is
