There are dozens of officers and soldiers guarding the outside. Changping Station can be said to be impregnable. In addition, the villagers of Zhaozhuang are always in a state of preparation for war. This area can be said to be as safe as Mount Tai. Under such a situation, unless the rebels are brainless, they will not
Come again.
After a good night's sleep, Wan Lei didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. Wan Lei still felt very tired, mainly because he was tired. Last night, he pretended to be a ghost and frightened the officers, soldiers and villagers, but he couldn't frighten the remaining rebels. When he thought about there were many people around,
Wan Lei is always worried when the rebels want his own life.
It's really tiring to pretend to be gods and fool the common people. Unfortunately, Wan Lei has only been here for a short time. It doesn't matter, and he has no backing. He is not a peerless master, and he has no brothers who will follow him to death. In this state of streaking, other than pretending to be gods, he has no choice.
Apart from giving himself an amulet, he was unable to protect his personal safety, let alone his property.
"Good morning, boss." Zhao Quanzhong poked his head around the backyard. As soon as he saw Wan Lei coming out of the room, he immediately gave him the brightest smile.
Wan Lei was speechless for this subordinate. When the man in black attacked at night last night, this guy disappeared immediately. It wasn't until the man in black walked away that he led a group of villagers over to "acquire credit and reward". This
Such a treacherous and slippery person can't be counted on if something big happens. And Ma Liubao and Li Dazui are spies sent by the imperial court, so they can't be counted on. Sooner or later, they will have to recruit another postman.
.
"What's the matter?" Wan Lei asked calmly, breaking off a wicker stick and using it as a "toothbrush" to brush his teeth.
"Master Li asked the little one to come over and see if you are up, and asked you to come over when you have time."
"Which Mr. Li?"
"That General Li Shen from Jizhou."
"Oh, didn't he say he would stay for one night and then leave? Why haven't you left yet?" Wan Lei was a little annoyed. He spent the whole night last night. If he hadn't been able to fool him, his life would have been in danger. It was 80% that he had nothing to do with that surname.
Li's broom star is associated with bringing bad luck.
"He's not leaving yet. He said he has something important to discuss with you."
"What's there to discuss? I'm not even an official. I have no power and no money. If you say anything, people will treat it as nonsense. If you have something to do, ask him to go to Big Mouth. That guy is a military attaché and has soldiers under his command. He can take care of things.
." Wan Lei said angrily, but he was actually filled with resentment.
When it comes to merit, he dares to say that no one at the post station has higher merits than him. But now he has to be reduced to a post official, being manipulated by officials at will, and having to nod and bow to everyone he sees. Not only does he have to be used as a bait, but he may even
Being captured and used as a sacrifice is really a coward.
This man is not afraid of poverty, but afraid of comparison!
Seeing that the boss was not willing to go see the officials, Zhao Quanzhong smiled sarcastically, took his leave and went to inform the officials who were waiting for news in the lobby. After a while, a group of people poured into the backyard where Wan Lei was, led by
Li Shenjiang and Li Dazui.
Of course, whether Li Dazui or Ma Liubao, these two must be pseudonyms. As for the names of these two undercover agents, Wan Lei didn't bother to ask any officials. As for the kidnapped Ma Liubao, he is now
He didn't even want to ask if he was still alive.
"Wan Yi Cheng, you've finally woken up. Let us wait for a while." Li Shenjiang glanced at Wan Lei coldly. It was obvious that he was very angry at being neglected by a little Yi Cheng.
"In my humble position, I have met all of you, sir." Wan Lei cupped his hands, which was regarded as a courtesy.
"The rebels have kidnapped my wife and children, as well as Ma Baihu. I request that troops be sent out immediately to search for traces of the rebels and rescue the hostages as soon as possible." Seeing Wan Lei's cold look, General Li didn't bother to argue with him.
Get to the point right away.
"The humble position is just that of a postmaster, and talking is like farting. You are officials, you can handle it on your own without telling me." Wan Lei didn't look back and was still busy working at the oil well.
"General Li Qi said that we will protect you here and don't dare to divide our troops."
"Oh." Wan Lei responded and said nothing more.
"You have to say something, do you agree to split up the troops and go out to look for people?" General Li became even more anxious.
"I've said it before, you are the officials, you can do whatever you want."
"Uncle Wan, it's not that we don't want to protect your safety, it's just that Mr. Ma has fallen into the hands of the rebels. If we don't find him, we will bear the serious crime of losing our general." Li Dazui explained.
"Master Li, you are serious. You are officials, and your humble position is that of officials. I cannot bear the title of uncle. Since you are going to find the rebels, please do it yourself. I also hope that I can catch all the rebels as soon as possible and return the favor to the people."
A peace.”
"In that case, let's take our leave. I will only take half of my troops, and the other half will stay here to protect me." With Wan Lei's approval, Li Dazui left quickly.
"My lords have accepted your good intentions and humble duty, and now I have the guts to say something: The rebels are not fools. I'm afraid they won't stay where they are and wait for someone to catch them. I'm afraid they've already been hiding by now." When Wan Lei said this, he was stunned again.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Oh, why am I talking about this? You officials are so powerful. Why do I, a small official, have so much time to spare? I can just sit back and wait for the good news."
"Hmph!" Li Shenjiang snorted coldly and left quickly, but Li Dazui stopped and turned around and asked, "Mr. Wan, do you have any good plans for finding thieves?"
"There are no good plans, just some little tricks that won't work on the stage." Wan Lei smiled lightly. He already had a lot of bamboo in his heart, but General Li Shen's condescending attitude made him unhappy, so he didn't bother to say anything.
"But it doesn't matter. If we can really find traces of the rebels, I will report it to the court and reward them according to their merits." Li Dazui said hurriedly.
"Don't talk about reward or not, you first get all the dogs nearby and let them smell this thing. Their noses are good and they may be able to help you find the location of the rebels." Wan Lei said, holding a dog covered in crude oil.
The rag was thrown over.
"Is this possible?" Li Shenjiang naturally didn't believe it.
"I poured oil on those rebels last night. There must be oil smell left on them. As long as the dog's sense of smell is sensitive enough, it will naturally find people by following the smell. It's a pity that you didn't come to me last night, and you're here now.
, I’m afraid it’s too late.” Wan Lei shook his head, and then immersed himself in his work.
"It's not too late to make amends, let's go and recruit the villagers and old dogs now." Li Dazui looked happy and left quickly. In fact, he had been worried about how to find the whereabouts of the rebels, and now he has
A clue, although this clue seems a bit slim, but it is better than running around like a headless fly.
After sending away a large group of officers and soldiers, Zhao Quanzhong rushed to Wan Lei's side and complained: "Boss, no one is cooking at the post, and no one is taking care of the horses. I have to do the work of three people by myself, and I will be exhausted."
of."
"You go to Zhaozhuang immediately to find a few trustworthy villagers. I will select them myself in the afternoon to avoid getting another spy."
ps: On September 18th, don’t forget the national humiliation and vow to protect the Diaoyu Islands.
