Officers and Troops

"What? They're actually officers and soldiers?!"

Mr. Qin was also very surprised when he heard Grandma Tiger's reply.

Since they were an officer or a member of the Yulin Guards who offered a huge bounty to horse thieves, how could they pretend to be horse thieves?

Mr. Qin had a gut feeling that something was wrong here, and immediately asked Aunt Hu to hold the golden ring and come over for detailed interrogation.

At this time, in order to beg his master for a lighter punishment, Jin Huan did not dare to hide anything: "They are really officers and soldiers, or Yulin Guards. They are usually stationed at Jinjitan in the north of Yulin City. There are twenty people in total.

They belong to two small flags. Those two small flags were transferred from Datong last year. Uncle He had a close relationship with one of them. When he was rushing back from Datong, he passed by Linxian.

They met by chance and invited them to come and play together in Mizhi. The servant heard from Uncle He that he wanted to use the power of these military masters to suppress the Qin family so that the master and his wife would not dare to embarrass the second grandma.

.”

"Change defense?" Mr. Qin was startled, a little surprised.

Datong and Yulin are both border towns, belonging to the vassal territories of the two princes. I don’t know which year started, but there was a rule that the border armies of the two places changed their defenses every three years. I don’t know if the court wanted to prevent the princes from controlling the military power of the border troops.

, came up with the idea. That year, Qin Ping's boss was transferred to Datong, and Qin Ping got the opportunity to be promoted, but gave the opportunity to his younger brother. Qin An originally only stayed in Datong for three years and was about to return to Yulin, but he was lucky

Well, I was appreciated by my boss in Datong. After the change of defense, I stayed in Datong and was promoted.

It would not be surprising at all to say that some of the Yulin Guard's border troops were transferred from Datong. After these people stayed at Yulin Guard for three years, they might be transferred somewhere. Even if they could return to Datong, they would probably not be able to do so.

He will not be in his original position. If He Ziyu was familiar with one of the officers in Datong, it is only human nature to want to borrow the other's strength.

There is only one thing that Mr. Qin doesn't understand: "Since he is a frontier army stationed at Jinjitan, how can he go to Linxian County? And he can randomly come to Mizhi County to handle private matters? Is it possible that the guard station won't take care of it?"

He knew where Jinjitan was. It was further north than Yulin City, almost to the border of Beirong. It was not far from the outpost where the eldest son Qin Ping was stationed during his lifetime, only twenty or thirty miles away.

.

That place is not a comfortable place. If we go back thirty years, when the imperial court was still at war with Beirong, the people stationed in that area were strong generals and soldiers. But now in the peaceful years, there has been no war for decades.

There were some sporadic skirmishes occasionally, but the casualties were not large. The post at Jinjitan was neither a place of trade, had a small population, and lacked good food and good food. It was always considered a miserable place by the border troops, and most people were not happy with it.

Go. The soldiers who will be sent there are either without roots or have been marginalized by others, and often cannot be transferred once they go. Asking the border troops from Datong to switch defenses to go will save everyone's energy. Anyway, they can only wait.

Just three years.

This is what makes Mr. Qin strange. No matter how peaceful the border is, the officers and soldiers stationed at Jinjitan cannot leave at will, let alone a total of twenty people with two small flags. Linxian is two or three miles away from Yulin.

A hundred miles away, Mizhi is not close to Yulin. These twenty people can be bribed just because He Ziyu said something and spent a little money? When did the people of Yulinwei become so easy to talk to?

Jin Huan said with snot and tears: "I don't know, uncle He met two Xiaoqi masters in Linxian County. He said that they were on vacation, so he took his brothers to Linxian County to enjoy themselves.

After a few days of good fortune, Uncle He promised them twenty taels of silver each before inviting them to come to Mizhi County. Xiaoqi, who was not very familiar with Uncle He, was not happy at first, fearing that others would find out.

, we need to investigate their faults. The person who was familiar with Uncle He was very persuasive, and Uncle He added more money, so he hired someone."

Mr. Qin frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double Ninth Festival has passed, and the twelfth lunar month has not yet arrived. At this time, the year is not new, and the holidays are not festivals. Why should the Wei Institute have a holiday? Or should twenty people be released at once?

What's more, it's too weird for the Yulin Guards to go to Linxian after a holiday. You know, Yulinwei is still under the jurisdiction of the King of Qin in name, but Linxian is the territory of the King of Jin. Even if these officers and soldiers are from

Datong changed defenses to Yulin, and the three-year period has not expired. It is not easy to go back to the Jinwang territory without permission, right?

Mr. Qin thought about it over and over, but couldn't think of a reason, so he had to ask Jin Huan again what arrangements were made between He Ziyu and the officers and soldiers. Jin Huan only knew a rough idea. It was said that He Ziyu planned to lead people on horseback to stop the Qin family.

He was taken away in a carriage, and after some intimidation and intimidation, He was picked up and taken away with the carriage. There was absolutely no intention of shooting an arrow, let alone pretending to be a horse thief.

After asking, Mr. Qin asked Aunt Hu to take Jinhuan down, and then called Uncle Hu, who asked him about the situation when he was attacked in detail. Uncle Hu was surprisingly careful and had a good memory, and he told the story of the situation at that time.

Although there is no literary talent, many details are clearly explained and organized, making people feel like they are actually there.

After Mr. Qin finished listening, he kept silent. Niu in the room didn't understand what he was worried about: "Master, what's wrong?" Qin Hanzhen remained silent.

Mr. Qin came to the inner room and said to his wife: "According to Jin Huan, He Ziyu and others did not intend to pretend to be horse thieves and did not shoot arrows. How did the arrows come from? According to Mo Hu, there were arrows released in the forest at that time.

Although there were many arrows, none of them hit our people. You know, everyone was in a mess at that time, and the horses were frightened, so no one was hurt by the arrows, and the person who fired the arrows was also quite clever.

.”

Mr. Niu mumbled, "It's not like no one was injured. Weren't He and Qin Taisheng's family injured? It's just that we didn't see it."

"This is even more strange." Mr. Qin said, "The people standing outside were not injured, but the He family's master and servant sitting in the car were injured. Moreover, most of the arrows were aimed at their carriage.

It can also be said that he went towards them. Since He Ziyu brought people to save his sister, why did his people shoot arrows at his sister? "

Niu also realized something was wrong now: "Yes, why?"

Qin Hanzhen actually noticed something was wrong. Since He Ziyu and his gang had no intention of pretending to be horse thieves, how did the term "horse thieves" come about? As soon as Uncle Hu said it, she knew it was Wu

The guardian of the Wu family shouted out, and the arrows shot from the forest further confirmed this statement. The question is, He Ziyu and others haven't shouted yet, so why did the guardian of the Wu family judge that they were horse thieves?

If coupled with the fact that the person who shot the arrow clearly had no intention of hurting anyone, the identity of the other party becomes even more suspicious.

The so-called horse thieves are all fake. The target of this group of people is obviously the He family. They have been on different sides with He Ziyu and others from the beginning. In this case, how could they be so coincidental as to ambush the He family and his party when they return?

What about on the road to the Qin family?

Qin Hanzhen already had a guess about the origins of these people. He carefully looked at the expression of his grandfather, Mr. Qin, and he seemed to have thought of something, and his face was not very good-looking.

Mr. Qin sat in silence for a moment, then stood up: "Jin Huan's confession is very important. If the people He Ziyu brought are really officers and soldiers, we have to go to the county government office to make it clear, so as not to prevent the county magistrate from really controlling the officials.

The army thought he was a horse thief and killed him. If the Yulin Guards track him down in the future, it will be difficult for us to explain him. I will take someone to escort Jin Huan to the county government office and make it clear."

Mr. Niu looked at the sky outside and hurriedly advised him: "Let's go tomorrow? The sun is going down right now."

But Mr. Qin said: "It's not too late. I'll hurry up and get into the city before dark. I won't be back at night. You can have a good rest and don't have to wait for me."

Mr. Qin soon left with Uncle Hu, Jin Huan and others. Mrs. Niu was a little worried about her husband and was uneasy, so she asked Ma Zhang to take Qin Hanzhen back to the east wing, so that she didn't have to go to the main room to have dinner.

.

At this time, the concierge came to report that my cousin Wu Shaoying was here.

Niu was a little surprised, why did Wu Shaoying come at this time? She hurriedly called for someone to invite her. When Wu Shaoying came, she smiled and said: "It's an unlucky time for you to come. Your teacher has just entered the city because of something urgent. When did you come?"

Did you come here? Didn’t you meet him on the way?”

Wu Shaoying was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "I haven't met him before. The student came by car, maybe he missed it on the way."

"That's right. The old man said he wanted to go into the city quickly. He must have been on his way and didn't see you." Niu sighed, "How can this be good? Are you looking for him in a hurry? Even if you go back to the city at this time, the city

The door is about to close. Why don't you stay at our house for the night and wait until he comes back tomorrow to talk about anything?"

Wu Shaoying agreed and asked again: "Why did the teacher enter the city in such a hurry?"

Mr. Niu sighed: "Isn't it just because of the incident that He Ziyu blocked the road in the morning? A girl who was serving Mr. He, the one who escaped and was sent back by your family, said that the person He Ziyu invited was not a horse thief, but a horse thief.

They were officers and soldiers, and they had no intention of pretending to be horse thieves. It was just a misunderstanding at the time. Your teacher was worried that the county government would really think that the officers and soldiers were horse thieves and kill them. If the Yulin guards asked about it in the future, it would be difficult to explain, so he hurriedly took Jin Huan into the city.

Go explain." At this point, she asked Wu Shaoying again, "Your family sent those fake horse thieves to the county government. Did they say that they were officers and soldiers?"

Wu Shaoying smiled and said: "I told you, but I just asked where they were from the army, and they couldn't help it. The county magistrate thought they were lying, so he had people lock them up and wait for the official documents to be sent to Yulin Guards tomorrow.

, ask them clearly about their origins and then interrogate them. Are they really officers and soldiers? Then why are they unwilling to speak clearly?"

"Isn't it? It's really boring." Niu curled his lips, "Since they are officers and soldiers, why do they dress up as horse thieves? And shoot arrows at good people? Jin Huan also said that they had no intention of shooting arrows. Humph, are those people

Are the arrows all fake?"

Wu Shaoying smiled and said a few words to Mr. Niu. Then Aunt Hu came to report that dinner was ready and invited Wu Shaoying to eat.

Wu Shaoying declined quickly and stood up and said: "I had something to discuss with the teacher today, but I didn't expect the teacher to go out. The students should rush back to the county town. If they really can't enter the city, they can find someone to stay overnight outside the city. Tomorrow

If you go to the city early, you can meet the teacher. If you stay in the house one night and go to the city to find the teacher tomorrow, it will be too late."

When Mrs. Niu heard this, she stopped stopping him. Aunt Hu was about to send him out, but Wu Shaoying said with a smile: "Mommy, let's wait for the wife to eat. I am very familiar with this house. Are you afraid that I will get lost?"

Is there no way?" Niu laughed, and Aunt Hu no longer persisted.

Wu Shaoying said goodbye to his wife and exited the main room. The smile on his face disappeared and his expression became a little serious.

At this time, he heard someone calling him in a low voice. He turned around and saw that it was Qin Hanzhen who had lifted the door curtain of the east wing, poked his head around, and waved to him.
