Today was the day to escort Tao San to Jingshan, but the sudden heavy rain in the middle of the night yesterday forced the convoy to stop at the gate of the county government office.
Gu An looked at Tao San, who was under the eaves not far away and kept sneering at him, without any fluctuation in his heart.
Suddenly, Tao San and Tao Yu who were accompanying him walked towards the direction where Gu An was standing without knowing what they said.
"Captain Gu, why are you not among the escort team today?"
Gu An's face was expressionless: "The county magistrate has arranged the agents for the escort team. It is not up to us to decide who they will be."
Tao San was surprised and pretended to be sad: "Oh, what should we do? After all, among the policemen in Ping'an County, I am only familiar with you, Detective Gu!"
What should I do if I get lonely on the road and have no one to talk to?"
Gu An was startled when he heard this, glanced at Tao Xu who was not far away, and said softly: "Don't worry, there will be someone to talk with you."
While the two were talking, the rain gradually subsided.
The leader of the sixth team of the escort team walked to the street, raised his head and stretched out his hand to feel it, and shouted in this direction.
"Tao San, get ready to leave quickly, otherwise it may take you at night to get to the inn."
Tao San, who was about to say something else, saw this and raised his hand to Gu An.
"Captain Gu, we'll see you later!"
Tao San walked cheerfully and was handcuffed and legcuffed before being taken to the escort vehicle.
Soon, with the sound of whips, the motorcade gradually disappeared from Gu An's sight.
Tao Yu looked at the motorcade disappearing on the street, then turned to look at Gu An: "Quick, Detective Gu, I'll see you at the Suppression and Evil Division."
Then he hummed a little tune and walked slowly towards the Zhenxie Division.
Gu An looked at Tao Yu who was walking away, his pupils contracted for a while and then slowly expanded, and he walked into the Yamen.
…
Taking advantage of the fact that the examination of the Suppressing Evil Division was approaching, Gu An informed Tang Li, Qin Li and others that he would be practicing luck in the house in the past few days.
And dry food has been prepared so that they don't have to wait for themselves to eat.
Although Qin Li was slightly surprised, he didn't say much.
A month ago, when Gu An first came here, he locked himself in the room for two days in order to make himself aware of this fact.
After slowly digesting the memory and cognition, I walked out of the room.
What follows is endless practice.
Snap!
Close the door.
Start waiting quietly.
Until late in the evening, I saw the setting sun shining into the house through the half-covered windows.
Gu An stood up, picked up the bundle he had packed yesterday, and took it out from the back window.
Follow the route you took to meet Tao Xu the day before, climb over the courtyard wall, and slowly walk out of the alley.
At this time, the people who set up stalls in the back streets had already packed up and returned home, and Gu An was wearing regular clothes and carrying his baggage, with a bitter look on his face.
He was like an ordinary person who had been setting up a stall for a day but didn't make much money, so no pedestrians paid attention to him on the road.
A few days before arriving here, Gu An had already figured out the distribution of buildings in the city after walking out of the room.
Go around a few streets and come to the river.
The sudden heavy rain in the latter half of the night caused the water level to rise higher than usual.
Gu An looked around.
Just as he thought, the strange water incident in the past few days made no one dare to approach the river these days.
As time goes by, the water stored in the city is exhausted, and they will have to return to the river and start using water again.
"Plop!"
He jumped into the river and slowly swam out of the city along the river.
outside the city.
Following what Tao Xu said the night before yesterday, Gu An quickly found a black horse that Tao Xu had hidden in the forest, and saw the long knife hanging next to the horse.
Gu An immediately unpacked his bag and put on his night clothes, then got on his horse.
"Crack!"
Find the right direction, wave your riding whip, and chase after you.
…
There is no moon tonight, and the rolling dark clouds in the sky and the sound of thunder from time to time indicate that heavy rain may fall at any time.
In the lobby of the station from Ping'an County to Shatian County.
Several drunken figures in police uniforms were lying scattered about.
Tao Xu held the long sword in his arms, walked out of the inn, and leaned against the wall.
Gu An, who had already tied his horse elsewhere in the distance and was slowly groping over on foot, saw this and watched from left to right as he slowly approached the inn.
Before that, Gu An had already conducted a blanket search around the station to confirm that there was no one else.
"All the postmen and postmen at the post station are drunk and ready for action."
The jars of wine prepared by Tao Xu were mixed with a lot of intoxicating drugs prepared in advance, so even if Yi Cheng and Yi Zu only drank a bowl of wine under Tao Xu's persuasion, they would still be "drunk" on the ground.
This was the second method proposed by Tao Xu the night before yesterday.
Jingshan is located in the northeast of Ping'an County. To get to the Jingshan mine from Ping'an County, you have to pass through Shatian and Xiyue counties.
Tao Xu proposed that when they were resting at the station on the way at night, he would get everyone drunk and then let Gu An kill Tao San.
Depending on the distance, it is most appropriate to choose the station between Ping'an County and Shatian County.
Because the convoy has a carriage escorting Tao San, and it is official business, it travels at a slow speed, so it will definitely rest at the inn. Even if Gu An sets off for a long time, he can still reach the inn at night by riding the fast horse prepared by Tao Xu.
.
"Um."
Gu An checked the situation through the window: "How long will the medicine last?"
"One night, no problem."
"Where's the rest of the wine?"
"Don't worry, it's all dumped in the backyard."
Gu An nodded and made sure again for a while before slowly entering the inn.
Tao Xu chuckled: "So cautious?"
"It's better to be cautious."
…
Because of Tao Yu, all the accompanying police officers received orders to treat Tao San kindly, so Tao San also received generous treatment and could live in a guest room by himself.
At this time, Tao San was lying on the mattress with his hands behind his head, bending one knee and shaking his legs from time to time.
"Mader, when you come back from the mine, you must let your elder brother kill that kid! And that Qin Li!"
Tao San murmured to himself.
Tao San thinks that if it weren't for Qin Li and Gu An's meddling, how could he have been sent to the mines to endure hardships.
Although Tao Yu promised him that he would find a way to get him back in at least three months; but this also meant that he had to endure high-intensity labor in the mines for at least three months!
This is undoubtedly a very painful thing for the pampered Tao San.
Just when he was still secretly cursing and resenting Gu An, there was a knock on the door.
"Boom!"
Frowning slightly, Tao San asked: "Who is it?"
"I, Tao Xu, have brought food to you, Second Young Master."
Hearing this, Tao San stood up leisurely, came to the door and opened it. He didn't even look outside the door. Instead, he sat directly at the table, with his back to the door, and complained: "Why did it take so long to deliver it? I'm so worried."
starve."
Tao Xu chuckled and walked to Tao San's side.
Tao San, who was waiting for him to put the food on the table, muttered dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with the ink?"
At the same time, his head couldn't help but glance in the direction of Tao Xu, and then looked away.
After being stunned for two breaths, Tao San finally came to his senses and looked at Tao Xu again, who had nothing but a long sword in his hand: "Didn't you bring the food? Where is the food?"
Tao San pursed his lips: "Luo, it's outside the door."
