"Wow!" A basin of cold water was poured on the head of the unconscious man on the ground.
With a start, the man jumped up on the spot. After looking around, he understood what was going on.
He glared at Duan Tianming, then stared straight at Xiao Chen.
"Staring at me? Shopkeeper Li has already told me your identity. Are you staring at me now because you want to fight me?" Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Even if Shopkeeper Li doesn't say it, I will tell it myself. Yes, the news of your coming to Gu'an County was sent by me. Kill or behead, as you wish. But, if I do anything to an innocent woman, I
I really despise your Dongchang."
The man smoothed his hair, which was wet with cold water, with his hands and said "heroically".
Shopkeeper Li on the other side lowered his head and his mouth tightened unconsciously.
"Alas." Xiao Chen sighed and looked up at the other party: "Now that the prince has been transferred by you, we in the East Factory can only wait for the emperor to return to Beijing to punish him one by one. Since none of us can survive
,How about we all be understanding?"
"If you can't find the prince before the emperor returns to the capital, you will be dead. It's just a few days longer than us. This woman has nothing to do with this, let her go." The man glanced at the woman tied to the stool and said coldly.
He said coldly.
"What a big deal." Xiao Chen smiled, "I have no intention of touching her at all. You can let her go, but she still has to be locked up in this yard. When we leave, it will be the day when she regains her freedom. What?
?”
The man rolled his eyes: "Okay, I believe you."
"Let this woman go." Xiao Chen looked at Duan Tianming and said softly.
"Yes." In response, Duan Tianming quickly untied the rope from the woman's body and helped her up.
He then ordered two captains to escort her back to her original house.
"I have let him go. Tell me, who are you? Where did you get the news that we came to Gu'an." Xiao Chen walked to the chair and sat down, crossing his legs.
"I was lurking in Fengtai Camp, but my position was not high. I was just a soldier on duty at the gate. When you came to Gu An, I happened to be on duty. So I left Fengtai Camp and came to report the news.
." The man said slowly.
Shopkeeper Li on the other side always lowered his head and said nothing.
"We are all wearing common people's clothes, why do you think we are from Dongchang?" Xiao Chen said with a faint smile.
"Dongchang's riding posture is unique."
"Oh, what's the difference?"
"When Dongchang handles cases, as long as you are riding a horse, you must pursue speed. Therefore, the entire team is leaning on the horse's back, and a gust of wind is blowing by. I have concluded that there is a high probability that you will...
People from Dongchang." Hanzi said.
"This is only half of it. You can't come to Gu'an to report just because of the half chance, right?"
"Because you are carrying firearms on your backs," the man said slowly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Xiao Chen shook his head, "You already know that we have firearms before Dongchang's firearms have actually been used. It seems that you are very concerned about Dongchang."
"Of course. Dongchang is our biggest threat now, so we are collecting intelligence about Dongchang all the time."
"Since the information has been delivered, why don't you leave?" Xiao Chen's eyes were piercing the opponent like a sharp sword.
"I told you, I'm just a sergeant on duty at the gate of Fengtai Camp. If I leave my post without authorization, I will never return. Where am I going?" The man stared at Xiao Chen like an idiot.
"Oh, that's it." Xiao Chen raised his head and looked at Shopkeeper Li who said nothing, "Shopkeeper Li, is what this person said true?"
Shopkeeper Li nodded slightly, but remained silent.
This person's sudden appearance has disrupted his entire plan.
I originally thought of providing Xiao Chen with a false confession, coaxing his wife to leave safely, and then shouldering everything on my own.
As long as his wife leaves, he will remain silent.
No matter how much torture he inflicts on himself, they can never get a useful word out of his mouth.
But who would have expected that this person didn't even have any sense of authority, and didn't even notice Xiao Chen's trick, so he rushed out desperately.
He thought he could take on everything by himself, but he forgot that the person standing opposite him was none other than Captain Jinyi, who had even captured Liao Xianghe.
This statement seems reasonable, but will Colonel Ziyi believe it?
After returning, if the purple-robed captain does not investigate the entire Fengtai camp, he will not be the purple-robed captain.
In the beginning, after getting the information, he should have been allowed to leave as soon as possible.
Leaving behind such a person who succeeds more than fails, all plans are ruined by him.
But things have come to this, and I can no longer turn the tide.
Hearing Xiao Chen's question, he could only nod his head, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Holding the armrests of the chair with both hands, Xiao Chen slowly stood up with a smile on his face.
"Part of what you said is true, and part of it is made up. It's not that you can't go back to Fengtai Camp, but you are worried about it, so you stayed to deal with the aftermath. Am I right?" Xiao Chen smiled with his hands behind his back.
looked at the man with a wet head.
A trace of uneasiness flashed in the man's eyes, and he returned to his natural state in an instant.
"The aftermath? Someone is in charge here. I'm just spreading the news. There's no mention of the aftermath." The man said coldly.
"No, no, no." Xiao Chen shook his head, "Your position in the organization is not low. If you don't see Manager Li get through this hurdle safely, you won't be able to leave without worry."
The man turned his head to one side and said, "You're going to die anyway, whatever you want to say."
"Don't mention it." Xiao Chen laughed, "A grown man, you can do whatever you dare to do. As I said just now, we are all going to die soon. Isn't it good to be a sensible person?"
After saying that, Xiao Chen glanced at Shopkeeper Li who was standing quietly with his head lowered.
"That's the fact. What do you want me to say?" the man said coldly.
"You don't want to say it, or you don't dare to say it?" Xiao Chen looked at the man, "Or should I say it?"
"Tell me what you can say." The man turned his head to one side.
Xiao Chen put down his hands on his back, sat on the long stool where the woman was tied just now, and patted the stool with his right hand.
"The real reason why you left is that there are people here who you are reluctant to leave." Xiao Chen pursed his lips, with a mischievous smile on his lips.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're such a mouthful." The man suddenly turned around and yelled at Xiao Chen.
"Quiet, quiet." Xiao Chen raised his right hand and pressed it down, "Why are you so impulsive? I only said that there is someone here that you are reluctant to leave, and I didn't say that it was a woman. Why are you so anxious?"
While talking, Xiao Chen glanced at Shopkeeper Li on the side.
The muscles behind the other person's ears clearly twitched a few times.
"You're going to die a good death if you talk nonsense." The man suddenly became furious and rushed towards Xiao Chen.
"Pah", there was a loud slap in the face, and without even seeing Xiao Chen's movements clearly, the man was already knocked to the ground.
Duan Tianming, who was on the other side, immediately rushed forward and put a pair of shackles on the opponent's arms.
"Are you so impulsive, are you afraid that I will tell you the truth?" Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at Shopkeeper Li: "Shopkeeper Li, do you want me to tell you what's going on next?"
Shopkeeper Li's face alternated between blue and white, and he closed his lips tightly, but the "crack-crack" sound of his teeth was very clear.
"If you are willing to speak, sir, just speak." After a moment of silence, Shopkeeper Li said.
"May I ask Shopkeeper Li if there is a carriage in the house?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yes." Shopkeeper Li replied.
"When Madam goes out, are you not even willing to give her a carriage?" Xiao Chen laughed.
Shopkeeper Li: "..."
"After I entered the city, I had already left an informant at the city gate. This person stayed at the house for one night and originally planned to leave the next day. However, his cautious character made him afraid to leave the city in person, so he asked Mrs. Li to go to the city.
Ask at the door for news."
"Mrs. Li definitely didn't dare to let you know what she was doing, so she could only sneak out of the Li family compound. Although this place is not far from the city gate, the ground is full of mud. How could a woman from a wealthy family do this?
Treading in the mud?”
"So, I bought a carriage outside. Firstly, I could ride on it, and secondly, it could be used as a tool for this person to leave. I thought that the captain I arranged outside the Li family compound would prevent this coward from daring to leave.
Leave. If he hadn't seen that I was going to torture Mrs. Li today, how could he have stood up desperately."
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at the embarrassed man: "Brother, am I right?"
