Chapter 16: The East Wind Blows Flowers and Thousands of Trees at Night (2)
Wei Tai's eyes flashed fiercely, as if he was crazy, as if he was relieved, but also as if he was desperate and ecstatic.
"Haha, Cao Liulang, you guessed it right! I actually have three hiding places! There are four barrels of kerosene hidden in the third hiding place!"
"How is that possible!" Cao Duo said in disbelief, "Twelve barrels of kerosene were stolen from the Lize Military Factory, eight barrels were seized by our police department, and only four barrels were left! It was also found out just now. Where?
The four barrels that came out? Did they fall from the sky?"
Wei Tai laughed triumphantly and looked at Cao Duo with a playful look in his eyes.
At this time, there was silence in the alleyway.
Overhead, fireworks roared and bloomed in the night sky. In the distance, the voices of people shouting happily were like the sound of waves surging in the dark night, one after another.
Wei Tai's laughter echoed in everyone's ears, making it particularly harsh, as if a beetle had burrowed into your ears.
"Haha, Wei Tai, do you think you succeeded?" Zhao Si sneered and finally spoke.
"It is true that you only stole twelve barrels from the Lize Military Factory, eight barrels were seized by the police, and it is true that only four barrels are left. But your subordinates pretended to be bandits and robbed the ordnance while it was being transported to the Dingbian Army.
Seven barrels were obtained. However, they were chased by officers and soldiers, and three barrels were discarded, while four barrels were saved."
Wei Tai's expression changed, and he began to panic. His true identity was clearly seen, which was a bit bad.
No, the robbery of military supplies and equipment is traceable, and it is normal to report to Hunjun. But at that time, I asked my subordinates to pretend to be Xia troops, and the clues left behind also pointed to Xixia.
At that time, Hunjun and the police department would not have thought that my people had robbed those seven barrels of kerosene. They should not have thought that I would transport them all the way to Kaifeng City regardless of the cost.
It must have been that the Hunjun came to his senses when he heard me admitting the third hiding place.
Thinking of this, the pride on Wei Tai's face returned again.
"So what if I know, it's too late! Haha, you're too late!"
Zhao Si was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued.
"I put myself in danger just to lure you out so that you could divide your forces. In order to make you fall for the trick, you thought I was unprepared and even roped in Mr. Li Wenshu's daughter. Finally, you took the bait."
Hearing this, Wei Tai said with sarcasm and disdain.
"Hunjun, of course I know your plan. It is nothing more than letting us divide our troops and then take the opportunity to seize the unprotected kerosene in one fell swoop! What a wishful thinking! I hid the eight barrels of kerosene in three places, extremely hidden and inaccessible to each other.
Connected. Now even if you find two places, there is still a third place. In half an hour, the fire will still open and seal the city!"
"Fire will open the city? The fire oil is fierce, especially the fire bombs. A single fire will set off a prairie fire. You should be connected with Xixia and know the power of the fire bombs when they conquer Liangzhou City. It's just that the fire bombs are extremely tightly guarded. You can camp
For a long time, I couldn't find any cracks, so I retreated to the next step and came up with the idea of kerosene."
"The kerosene is hidden in a barrel and a jar. Others think it is wine, so they are really unaware of it. But Wei Tai, you don't know something. The smell of kerosene is very pungent."
Hearing Zhao Si say this, Wei Tai's face changed!
"Of course, if you seal the kerosene in a bucket and hide it in a hidden place, it will be difficult for others to smell it. But people can't smell it, but dogs can."
When he heard that dogs could smell it, Wei Tai's eyes widened and almost popped out of his head., "Did you use a hunting dog?"
"When I was still in the dormitory, I was called Captain Rabbit. Kaifeng City is famous for hunting on horseback and traversing the mountains and forests. How can hunting be without hounds? Hounds are very important means of finding traces of prey and smelling it.
In the past few days, the Police Department has selected a dozen of the best hunting dogs and trained them with towels dipped in kerosene."
"What good hounds. Even if they are hidden several feet underground and three or four miles away, they can still find their way out and find a towel with a little bit of kerosene on it. In the past few days, the hounds have been quietly searching for possible places.
Searching for hiding places. With the help of these hounds, we narrowed the range of hiding places from more than twenty places to these six or seven. Then we waited patiently for you all to come out, and then carefully searched for specific places. There were three places in total...
."
"Impossible! You can't find it!"
Zhao Si stared at the pale Wei Tai and decided to give him the final blow, "...The third place..."
Zhao Si deliberately delayed saying anything, and the young lady who was listening raptly was so angry that her teeth were itching. If this lady could be as outstanding in swordsmanship as the young man in front of me, she would kill all the broken dogs in the world!
Seeing Zhao Si hesitantly unable to tell the specific location of the third place, Wei Tai's eyes flashed with hope.
"Quyuan Street in the inner city?... No, it's not there. Yulin Lane near Guanyin Yuan? Well, it's not there either. Yes, it's Lin's Shop near Dutingyi."
When he heard about Lin's Shop, Wei Tai's face turned livid and lifeless, and his heart felt more like he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Wei Tai, in order to avenge your personal revenge, you did not hesitate to trigger a war between the Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty. In the other two places, you hid two barrels of kerosene in each place for the purpose of chaos. The real killing move is in Lin's shop. Four barrels of kerosene.
, enough to burn Dutingyi next door to rubble. The Northern Liao envoys all lived there..."
"At the second watch, two fires broke out, and the whole city was in chaos. The Northern Liao envoys held a banquet in the Duting Posthouse where they were staying, and while watching the night view of Kaifeng in the Yuan Dynasty, they recited poems and lyrics. Your people waited for the opportunity to light the fire...
.Having burned the chief and deputy envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty to death, he might have a military encounter with me in the Song Dynasty."
"There is the Liao Kingdom in the north and the Xia Kingdom in the west. Driven by a fire, the two kingdoms joined forces to attack the Song Dynasty. Isn't that right, Wei Tai? You are a wolf-hearted thing!"
Wei Tai shook his head violently, "How could you know? It's impossible to know. Impossible!"
"Yes, it was impossible to know originally. Lin's shop sells spices, and the smell masks the smell of kerosene. The hounds passed by several times and missed it. It's just that you ran away in order to achieve the effect of burning all the Beiliao envoys to death.
I went to inquire about the mission’s arrangements for the Lantern Festival, but I was noticed.”
After hearing Zhao Si say this, Cao Duo also understood.
There must be people from the Military Intelligence Bureau in Dutingyi. Even the internal attachés of the Bei Liao Mission might also have people from the Military Intelligence Bureau or the West Examination Bureau.
Wei Tai's people went to inquire and spend money to buy information, which must have aroused the idea of some departments, thinking that they wanted to collude with the Liao Kingdom and sell out intelligence. Then they followed the clues and quickly found the clues.
"Because this matter involves the Bei Liao Envoy, I did not call the Police Department to follow up, but called the Military Intelligence Bureau to follow up. They soon discovered your third hiding place... Just now,
The Military Intelligence Bureau's Special Reconnaissance Battalion, in accordance with the SWAT team's methods, has removed the hiding place in Lin's store."
Zhao Si actually seemed more like explaining to Cao Duo.
Wei Tai's face turned white at first, then black, then blue, and finally turned red. He cursed crazily: "You are a tyrannical and foolish king who kills loyal and good people and goes on a military rampage..."
After he finished scolding, Zhao Si said with a sneer: "I regained Liangzhou, defeated the Xia army, and ensured peace on the border. In your words, I was militaristic. In your words, I killed traitors and corrupt officials and eliminated illegal practices. In your words, I killed loyal and good people.
.You and your brother-in-law, Duke Xuan, are very different."
When Zhao Si mentioned Zeng Bu, Wei Tai became furious.
Zeng Bu, an extremely human minister, was the source of joy for Wei Tai's evil deeds and domineering behavior. Since he was forced to commit suicide in front of Fengxian Palace, Wei Tai no longer had the power to protect him, and his friends and friends disappeared. The people who used to support him and flatter him have all changed.
Face.
Although he escaped later, all his family property was confiscated and he became a bereaved dog. How could he bear this?
Wei Tai jumped to his feet and gnashed his teeth and cursed loudly: "Hunjun, my brother-in-law Zixuan Gong has been cautious in his life and loyal to the country. Why do you want to force him to death!"
Zhao Si looked at Wei Tai coldly, who was like a clown, and said unceremoniously: "The person who forced Mr. Zi Xuan to death was not me! It was you!"
Wei Tai was dumbfounded and looked at Zhao Si with wide eyes.
"You are the one who wantonly added to Zixuan Gong's diary! Wei Tai! It was you who added words randomly and tried to please others, which caused your brother-in-law Zixuan Gong to die and thank the world! When he goes to the underworld soon,
It depends on how dignified you are to meet Duke Zixuan. He has been very kind to you over the years, and this is how you repay him!"
Wei Tai's body was shaking constantly, and the sweat on his forehead and face was dripping like rain. This chapter has been completed!
