Chapter 75 I don't know anything
In Baihu Mansion, the great manager learned that Qin Zhong had summoned the military clan, and it was already late at night. It was only after the family who had been in contact with Baihu Mansion that they came to pass the message after they got the news from others.
"What exactly does this Qin Zhong want to do?"
Zhang murmured to himself, the manager was also confused. Who is Qin Zhong? In the entire Hekou Fort, the Qin General Banner is the most useless coward. Now this man is wearing armor and summoning military officers, and even said he has received the order from the master.
"Is it really a master..."
"Madam, what are the instructions for me? Could it be that I wouldn't send someone to the mansion to report the news? How could I find Qin Zhong?"
The chief manager shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I think there must be something strange about this matter. Why not let Zhang Shi take people to Qin Zhong's mansion to ask what's going on!"
Zhang had no opinion, and what the big manager said seemed to make sense, so he let the big manager deal with it.
As the night started, Zhang Shi left the mansion with ten servants, and the great manager told him to be careful, otherwise Zhang Shi would feel that there would be no such a big battle to deal with such a courageous person as Qin Zhong.
Outside Qin Zhong's mansion, Chen Sheng hid in the dark with two partners, and all three of them carried bows and arrows.
In the fortress, there were two families who informed Baihu Mansion, who were all related to Baihu Mansion and often bullied their neighbors. When they entered and exited Baihu Mansion, they were clearly seen by the dolls playing on the street.
Chen Fa is the king of children on the street. Those babies are his eyeliner. If you give me a few copper coins, you can ask them to help you keep an eye on others. So Chen Sheng had known the news from this brother for a long time, so he brought two friends to stay near Qin Mansion.
"It's really here."
Hearing the words of his partner next to him, Chen Sheng was shocked. He asked himself that if he was from Baihu Mansion, he knew that Qin Zhong was summoning military officers, he would definitely come to ask.
Zhang Shi and the others came carelessly. Ten servants were holding torches and holding sticks in their hands. They were the best living targets for Chen Sheng and the others.
Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes. He recognized Zhang Shi, who was the leader, Zhang Gui was so good at playing. He was just a hundred households and the servants were forced to become adopted sons. Zhang was only a few years older than him. He was a child of a local military household. His martial arts were quite good, but he was not very satisfied with his character.
Nowadays, he was adopted son, but he wanted to change his name. Chen Sheng naturally looked down on such a villain who was tempted by the savages, so he said to his two partners, "Just kill Zhang Shi."
The other two nodded, pulled the bow in the dark with Chen Sheng, aimed at Zhang Shi, who was walking at the front of the team with his head held high, and then let go of the bowstring.
The bowstring exploded, and the whistling sound of arrows breaking through the air seemed particularly loud in the quiet night. Because the distance was too close, Zhang Shi reacted to avoid it when he heard the sound, but he fell to the ground. He looked down and saw three feather arrows inserted into his chest and waist. Then the severe pain came, which made him scream.
As Zhang Shi fell, the other servants exploded like frightened hornets' nests. Some people ran away and some squatted down, but no one dared to go to Zhang Shi to see the situation.
It was only after a long time that the arrow was shooting, but the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did someone remember to see Zhang Shi, but only saw a pool of blood flowing under Zhang Shi's body, and he had not yet exhaled much inhalation, so he could not survive.
"Let's go back home first."
Among the servants, there was an older person saying that they were all slaves from Baihu Mansions, and it was not easy to be escaped slaves, not to mention that who knew how many thieves were hidden in this dark night. If they ran away, they would probably be less than Zhang Shi.
Naturally, the movements on the street could not be hidden from the nearby families, but no one dared to come out to watch the fun. The servants of Baihu Mansion did not dare to make a statement. In the end, they just carried Zhang Shi and fled back to Baihu Mansion in a panic.
When he saw Zhang Shi's body, the butler took a breath. He now believed that the group of black sand horse thieves really wanted to attack Baihu Mansion, so he no longer cared about someone to go to Shenmu Castle to buy gifts to Xu Qianhu, so he simply called his son and asked him to bring cash silver with him. He then went to Shenmu Castle for help as soon as it dawns.
The news of Zhang Shi's death was concealed by the great manager. It was a troublesome moment now. If the news was really spread, I was afraid that the entire fortress would be in peace. If Qin Zhong asked him to take all the soldiers away, so as to avoid chaos.
The chief manager dared not take any more ideas about Qin Zhong. Who knew if Qin Zhong colluded with the thieves? The summoned military officers also followed the thieves and asked them to help guard the Baihu Mansion. Wouldn't it be that she would send sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Zhang Shi's body was stuffed into the woodshed, and the chief manager ordered his subordinates to go to the wall to watch all night, and even brought a gong.
It just passed overnight, but nothing happened.
When it was dawn, outside Hekou Fort, more than 40 soldiers gathered four teams. Only a few families heard the noise last night. When they woke up early in the morning, they saw only a pool of blood on the ground. No one knew what happened.
Qin Zhong pulled a large cart from his house and loaded with food. Chen Sheng said that they had to walk for more than a day to get out of the wall for forty miles. These soldiers only brought their mouths over. If he didn't give him a stutter, he would be afraid that they would make trouble again.
The flesh hurts, but when Qin Zhong thought of Chen Sheng staring at him in the dark, he didn't dare to think about anything more. He just said to everyone, "Everyone hasn't eaten yet, come, eat something first, eat after eating, then set off on the road."
Pulling down a basket of steamed buns from the cart, Qin Zhong said loudly. At this time, the soldiers with complaints looked better. They went forward and got three steamed buns, and then happily set out on the road after eating.
Watching Qin Zhong take his people away, Chen Shengcai followed the team. He was not afraid that Qin Zhong would go the wrong way. Anyway, as long as he got out of the wall, someone would lead Qin Zhong and the others. He just wanted to be in case someone made trouble on the way.
Fortunately, although the military officers were resentful, Qin Zhong prepared food, which was much better than bringing their own dry food to the Baihu Mansion in the past. He went north all the way, but no one caused trouble.
Just after noon, the soldiers who had eaten another steamed bun were resting for half an hour. They were about to set off on the road, but they saw a large area of smoke and dust rising in front of them, and the ground under their feet was shaking, and they couldn't help but feel panic.
"Don't panic, don't panic, maybe it's Zhang Baihu's people!"
Seeing the soldiers around him looking at him with a bad expression, Qin Zhong shouted quickly, and felt very distressed. He had always been timid and afraid of things. Now more than ten fast horses rushed over from the opposite side, which scared him to his legs.
The soldiers were together, at this critical moment, who would dare to run around in all directions? If a horse thief came, his legs could run beyond four legs. But soon the soldiers were relieved, because the running horse team slowed down and the smoke gradually disappeared, and they saw the whole picture of the opposite team clearly.
All the knights in black were led by a tall young man. Someone in the army knew Gao Jin, so he shouted, "It's Gao Erlang!"
Hearing Gao Erlang's name, the other soldiers looked at each other and looked at Qin Zhong, not saying that they were coming out of seclusion to pick up Zhang Gui, a 100-household lord, but why did Gao Erlang come? Zhang Gui had previously said that Gao Chong colluded with horse thieves and plotted against him, and that the Gao family's caravan was dead.
"Master Qin Qi is indeed a believer."
After Gao Jin stopped the horse and shouted to Qin Zhong, no matter how much Qin Zhong defended, it was useless. The other military officers regarded him as a member of the Gao family.
"I know everyone has doubts, so when I arrive at the place, I will explain it to everyone."
Looking at the suspicious military officers, Gao Jin looked around and said loudly. The horse team behind him was very powerful, and his friends all had cold faces. Those military officers dared not talk too much. They were all very honest. They just heard Qin Zhong nodding and bowing, "Everyone is heard from Gao Master!"
Jun Dingli, Ma Chao's eyes were sharp. Seeing that Gao Jin was behind Chen Sheng, he couldn't help but open his eyes widened. On that day, Chen Sheng shot and killed the servants of Baihu Mansion with a bow. He recognized the python-skinned bow. For a moment, he realized that he seemed to know something extraordinary, but he dared not speak out. Who knew what kind of Gao Erlang's temperament? If he told him something bad, look at their strong manly behavior, I'm afraid that his whole family will be unable to protect their lives.
With Gao Jin's team accompanying him, the military officers who were lazy when they were on the road did not dare to be foolish anymore. They all rushed to the road honestly. Before the evening, they arrived at the temporary stronghold that Gao Jin had found. More than 20 large trucks were parked there, and there were still a lot of goods piled on the ground.
The military officers looked curious, but they didn't dare to ask more questions. They just ordered Gao Jin to go to the camp to rest. When it was time to supper, they found that it was mixed with rice and meat, and they shouted, "Grandmad is generous!"
"Everyone, I asked Mr. Qin to bring everyone here to help me. I think everyone has seen the big trucks and goods outside. On that day, my Gao family caravan encountered a large number of horse thieves outside the border, so I had to abandon the goods and protect myself. My father was not lucky enough to lose the hand of the thief."
Gao Jin told the story he made up. The soldiers below were fascinated by the hearing. Although some people thought something was wrong, they didn't dare to say anything. The newly released Gao Master made a generous move and promised that as long as they helped to transport the goods back to Hekou Fort, each of them would give five cents of labor and food. Who cares whether he and Zhang Gui were acting against the horse thief?
"I can't believe this story of the second brother!"
In his partner, when he saw Gao Jin saying something, Zhang Gui had left the thief for more than a month in order to deal with the Black Sha Horse Thieves. Now he had just found the horse thief's nest and was now going to wipe out the thiefs. Yang Big-eyed Wang Dou and a few who usually like to listen to storytelling the most murmurs. Until Chen Sheng glared at them fiercely, he shut up embarrassedly.
Gao Jincai didn't care whether the story he made was reasonable. He just needed these military officers in Hekou Fort to prove to him that when Baihu Mansion was blood-slaughtered by thieves, he was outside the wall, and this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Don't worry, the villain knows nothing?"
