Chapter 96 Trap
The sound was particularly clear in the darkness.
It was as if the speaker was right in front of them.
Xie Liangchen felt that Chen Zigeng held his hand tightly, and his small body wanted to block in front of her.
Xie Liangchen reached out and touched Chen Zigeng's head, trying to make him relax. His fingers rubbed against his forehead and found that it was covered with sweat.
After all, I am still a child, and it is inevitable that I will panic when I see such a scene for the first time.
Outside the thatched house, torches lit up, and the deputy general rode on his horse, looking down at everything in front of him. There was no movement in the thatched house, as if no one was inside.
After a while, several boxes scattered nearby were carried over. The boxes were opened with fur and topped with good ginseng.
The deputy general draws out the knife and picks out the skin. The best skin can be made into leather armor.
After getting the stolen goods, the deputy general raised his lips slightly: "Mr. Magistrate, take these things well and it will be a certificate in the future."
The magistrate of Zhenzhou swallowed and was about to speak, but the deputy general couldn't help but say, "Where are the archers? The people here tried to resist and shot them immediately."
Hearing this, the magistrate of Zhenzhou changed completely. He hurriedly said to the deputy general: "No, we haven't asked yet, maybe there is another reason for this."
The deputy general said impatiently: "There are all evidences and physical evidences, what else can I ask?"
"That's all the people in the village," the magistrate of Zhenzhou stopped him in a cold sweat. "We can't do this. The court has learned about this. We are all guilty of death."
The deputy general's face was shrouded in darkness, and he looked so ferocious: "But how could the court pursue the matter for a few people? No... no, I was wrong. They are not people, but rebels who colluded with the enemy. Is the magistrate protecting them like this? Could it be that they have some connection with them?"
"No...No..." The magistrate of Zhenzhou stuttered in shock, "I just said that if this is not in accordance with the rules, at least he should bring people to the government office for interrogation. The Law of Daqi..."
Before the magistrate of Zhenzhou finished speaking, he felt his throat tightening. The deputy general next to him couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed his official uniform and raised him up: "What rules? What the general of Zhenguo said is the rules."
As soon as the deputy general finished speaking, he waved his hand and the soldiers around him immediately drew out the bow and arrow.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..." A wave of feather arrows shot into the thatched hut.
The deputy general was sure that the people in Chenjia Village were in the thatched hut. A group of people who knew nothing knew anything looked for a few stones in panic and piled them in front of the thatched hut, thinking that those stones could block the attack.
It has to be said that these people from Chenjia Village are still a little smart and can see the current situation, but that's all, and the stones also exposed their whereabouts.
As the feather arrows galloped forward, the magistrate of Zhenzhou on the horse's back became weak and his whole body fell off the horse's back.
The manager of the Wang family showed a relaxed smile on his face.
"Puff puff puff." The arrow shot into the thatched hut.
But what the deputy general did not expect was that there was no scream, and no one pushed the door open and ran out.
What's going on?
The deputy general personally held the torch and shone forward, and the thatched hut was silent.
The deputy general shook the torch in his hand and shone it around, and was about to instruct the people around him to go to the thatched hut to check.
Suddenly, a majestic voice heard: "If I had not witnessed it with my own eyes, I would have never imagined that the people under the General of Zhenguo would have ignored the laws of the Great Qi and ignored human life.
Are they just a few people?"
When the deputy general heard this, he turned his head and looked behind him. He seemed to have nothing in his eyes, and it seemed that there were many people standing there.
Those people, those eyes were staring at him.
"Who...who is there?" the deputy general shouted a few times, and a figure flashed through his mind. Could it be that Song Xian was coming? It was too sudden just now, and he couldn't hear whether the sound was Song Xian.
Maybe it's not Song Xian, but that's also Song Xian's subordinates.
"It's someone who colluded with the Liao people," shouted the deputy general, "take them all."
"Who colluded with the Liao people?" The voice in the dark finally rang again, "Are you talking about me?"
The deputy general can be sure this time that the person who spoke was not Song Xian.
Torches lit up, and the flames surrounded the deputy general and the Wang family.
A man rode a horse and walked forward a few steps, and his face gradually appeared in front of the general.
The deputy general opened his eyes wide, with an incredible expression on his face.
It was impossible, the deputy general shook his head subconsciously.
The person in front of him turned out to be Li You.
Li You, who left Zhenzhou and returned to Beijing, now appears in front of them.
Li You waved his hand: "Take them all down, and all those who resist will be punished for committing rebellion."
The deputy general did not want to wait for death, but the morale of the army was in chaos and was taken down by Li You after a moment.
Not far from the thatched hut, Xie Liangchen and others witnessed everything. After she told her second uncle to move the stones to resist, she immediately thought that the stacked stones were too eye-catching, and since there was a long arrangement, the escaped Wang family should be brought to capture them, so they could not stay in the thatched hut.
As soon as Xie Liangchen and others walked out of the thatched hut, Lord Li You's guard came to report the news and protected them, waiting for those people to fall into the trap.
The deputy general was tied up, and Li You strode forward: "Who asked you to lead your troops?"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the deputy general was afraid of being charged with rebellion, and said tremblingly: "Mr. Li, the last general is also obedient."
When the deputy general said this, he had a complicated expression on his face, and obviously he had not made up his mind whether he should say it.
Li You looked at the magistrate of Zhenzhou next to him. The deputy general then found that the magistrate of Zhenzhou was not tied up, but stood beside Li You in a regular manner.
The magistrate of Zhenzhou said: "The Xiaguan thought it was Song Min. The Xiaguan saw Song Min and Wang Jian with his own eyes last night, and then Song Min's people went to Qizhou and nearby military camps."
Thinking of last night, the magistrate of Zhenzhou felt that his left shoulder was hurting so much. Cheng Yanzhao kept pulling his left shoulder and running around, witnessing all kinds of things.
Today I will accompany the deputy general to arrest people again.
On the way to arrest people, they had to say those words just to test the deputy general's intentions.
"You," the deputy general stared at the magistrate of Zhenzhou, "You have known it for a long time."
The magistrate of Zhenzhou ignored the deputy general and looked down with his head and eyes. Compared to the general of Zhenguo, Song Min, the one he feared most was Song Xian. How could he go against Song Xian? Song Xian really couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes. After doing things under Song Xian, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Song Xian was the most prosperous.
The deputy general collapsed: "Yes... it's the third master... Song Min asked us to come here, kill the people from Chenjia Village, blame the uncle, and confirm that the uncle colluded with the enemy.
