Wang Hao clasped his fists again and said: "Please tell me from the Commander-in-Chief, what should I do with my humble position?"
Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, thought for a moment and said: "Let's use the old method, first look at the peripheral pictures, find the evidence, and then take it down in one fell swoop!"
"I humbly obey orders!"
Wang Hao bowed and left. Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his hands. He turned around and asked Zhu Sui, who was standing at the door: "Both Xixia and Puppet Qi have trained assassins according to the same regulations. Do you think we should also set up corresponding assassin organizations to retaliate in kind?"
Zhu Sui said calmly: "Reporting to the capital, I believe that assassins are actually a double-edged sword that can hurt the enemy, but it can also hurt oneself. Assassin itself is an act with no lower limit, assassinating the enemy by any means necessary. Because there is no lower limit,
Without moral restraint, once the assassin is bribed by the other party, the assassin will turn around and assassinate himself. It is actually a hidden danger, and I think it should be abandoned."
Chen Qing nodded, "You are right. Those who play with fire will eventually burn themselves. Don't mention the assassins again in the future."
.........
The official residence Lu Wei rented was located near the East City Gate. It was a small house of two acres. Generally speaking, it could be called a high-walled compound with at least two entrances. It had all kinds of functions and even a stable.
This official residence is very quiet. No one lived in it before. Now it is rented by Lu Wei, but there is no sign of anyone living there.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the alley. He looked towards both sides of the street and saw an ox cart driving in the distance. The middle-aged man waved quickly and the ox cart slowly stopped in front of him.
The coachman smiled and asked, "Where are you going, sir?"
"Go to Chigu Town outside the city!"
"Thirty cents!"
"It's too expensive. How about it be cheaper, twenty cents?"
The coachman glanced at him and said, "Get in the car!"
The middle-aged man got on the bullock cart, which turned around and headed towards Nancheng...
A quarter of an hour later, the middle-aged man was escorted into the internal security interrogation room with his head hooded by a black cloth bag. What awaited him was a brutal interrogation.
In the afternoon, Wang Hao handed an interrogation report to Chen Qing's desk.
"For the record, the real name of Li Qingqing is Li Chunniang. She is a famous thief in the Bianliang area. She and her husband committed many murders in the Bianliang area. Hundreds of people died at the hands of the couple. Her husband died the year before last, so she joined her.
You Feng Lai Yi Lou, nicknamed the Pink Skull, who has taken over Liu Yu, specializes in using beauty to assassinate her. Her mission this time is to assassinate his wife and kidnap the young master. She brought three maids and two servants with her.
Having been her subordinate for many years, the middle-aged man we captured is her accountant and manager, and he knows her background very well..."
Actually targeting his wife and children, Chen Qing's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He restrained his anger and asked coldly: "Did he mention Yang Rui?"
"It was mentioned, but it was a bit unexpected."
"Why?"
"He said he only knew that Li Cheng sent an assassin very early to assassinate the governor, but they had no interaction with this assassin. In other words, Yang Rui was not the same group as them."
Chen Qing nodded. No wonder Yang Rui left the Jingzhao city defense map. It turned out that he was sent by Li Cheng. He felt a little strange in the morning. Yang Rui was recruited into the scout camp last year because of his strong martial arts and outstanding archery skills.
Favored by Zhao Xiaoyi, he was only recommended as a guard of the Jinglue Mansion this year. However, this Li Qingqing only came to Chengji County three months ago, so the time is completely out of sync.
Yang Rui may have given up on assassinating himself for some reason, and shot arrows into the study just to remind himself to be careful of defensive loopholes, and leaving a map of Beijing Zhao was supposed to be compensation for shooting arrows.
Chen Qing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said to Wang Hao: "Unplug this assassin!"
...........
Five hundred internal guards surrounded the two-acre house. Lu Wei hurried over on horseback and shouted anxiously: "What are you doing? This is the house I rented. You can't do this!"
When he turned around and saw Chen Qing, he hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Jing Lue, I have indeed suffered a loss in my private life, but this woman is innocent. I am responsible for everything. I beg you to spare his life."
Chen Qing glanced at him and said coldly: "You fool, do you really think she is a twenty-year-old famous prostitute from Jingzhao?"
"I don't understand what the manager is talking about?"
Chen Qing handed him a brochure, "Read it for yourself! Is a thirty-four-year-old woman worthy of your obsession?"
Lu Wei took the booklet and read it hastily. He was suddenly struck by thunder and stood there blankly, unable to say a word.
At this time, a soldier shouted: "Fire!"
I saw thick smoke billowing inside the house and flames rising. Three strong women in black jumped onto the roof, holding long swords in their hands, trying to break out to the south. Chen Qing ordered: "Fire arrows!"
Arrows shot at the three women in black together like a rapid rain. The three women in black only used arrows to knock away a few arrows. In an instant, they all turned into hedgehogs, wailed a few times, and fell from the wall.
The internal guards rushed into the house. After a while, the fire weakened and gradually extinguished.
At this time, Wang Hao came over to report: "To inform the capital, two corpses were found in the room. Both died of poisoning. One of them was Li Qingqing. The three people shot just now were her three maids. Brothers.
We found a large amount of information that was too late to be destroyed, as well as a plan to assassinate the governor."
Chen Qing nodded, "Sort them out!"
Chen Qing glanced at Lu Wei, who was stunned, patted his shoulder, turned around and left.
.........
The Weishui Military City is guarded on the official road on the south bank of the Weishui River. Any large vehicle or baggage that goes to Chengji County must pass through the Weishui Military City, and the large vehicle can only pass through the city.
But if you don't have a cart or a horse, and you just walk, you can also climb up the mountains to the south and bypass the military city directly.
At noon, a burly man sat on a big rock, chewing dry biscuits, and looked at the Weishui Military City two miles away with complex eyes.
This person is Yang Rui, the guard of the Jinglue Mansion who has been missing for many days. He is 30 years old. His true identity is a commander of the puppet Qi army.
The reason why Li Cheng chose him to assassinate Chen Qing was not only because of his strong martial arts and superb archery skills, but more importantly, he was from Qinzhou and could speak an authentic Qinzhou accent.
Yang Rui did successfully sneak into the Jinglue Mansion, but at the last moment, he gave up. The reason for giving up was the same as the reason why he was selected, because he was from Qinzhou.
He never wanted his hometown to be occupied by foreigners and trampled by the iron hoofs of the Jin soldiers. He lurked in Chen Qing's army for nearly a year and personally felt the army's strict military discipline and the army's firm will to resist the Jin.
More importantly, he felt Chen Qing's kindness to the elders in his hometown, and he also felt the love of the elders in his hometown for Chen Qing. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the society was clear and peaceful. Even during the reign of Song Renzong, things were not so easy.
Yang Rui's heart was strongly touched. At the last moment, he not only gave up assassinating Chen Qing, but also hinted about Li Qingqing's situation to Chen Qing. Finally, he also left a Jingzhao city defense map he got when he was the commander to Chen Qing.
Qing, he drifted away.
Yang Rui sighed, he didn't know where to go?
Li Cheng would not spare him if he returned to Jingzhao, and it would definitely not be realistic to return to Jinglue Mansion.
But no matter what, we can only take one step at a time.
Yang Rui stood up and patted the crumbs on his body. Suddenly, he felt something and suddenly pulled out his sword.
I saw dozens of Song soldiers appearing from behind the big rocks on all sides, pointing their crossbows at him.
Yang Rui narrowed his eyes. There was a silver flying eagle on the helmets of these soldiers. This was the logo of the scout camp. He himself once had such a helmet.
At this time, a general walked out. It was Yang Rui's superior in the scout camp, General Tang Qian.
"Yang Rui, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
It was Tang Qian who came. Yang Rui sighed in his heart, knowing that he could not escape this time. He dropped his sword, raised his hands and knelt on the ground.
Tang Qian stepped forward, picked up the sword, and handed it to the soldier next to him. He helped Yang Rui up and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm here to arrest you?"
"Is not it?"
Yang Rui glanced at the soldiers around him. They were all pointing crossbows at him!
Tang Qian smiled slightly, "I'm afraid you won't listen to me, run away in a panic, and miss the opportunity."
He waved his hand, and the soldiers lowered their crossbows.
Tang Qian then said: "I am taking you back to the Scout Camp under the orders of the Commander-in-Chief. From now on, you will still be the Commander-in-Chief of the Seventh Division of the Scout Camp. Come with me!"
Yang Rui stared at Tang Qian blankly, his nose feeling inexplicably sore.

I would like to apologize to everyone first. After sending his father away, Lao Gao fell seriously ill and has not recovered yet. He has a severe cough and the medicine is not effective. It has been more than 20 days. Of course, it has nothing to do with the epidemic. The nucleic acid test has been done for five days.
It's negative. It should be a cough caused by bronchitis or pharyngitis. When Lao Gao gets better, he will definitely resume the third update. I hope everyone can forgive me!
