Then, Li Xing jumped slightly, like a cat with pads, and landed on the ground silently.
"Confirm, are you the target?" Li Xing asked knowingly. He had just used the Eye of Haechi to confirm the identity of the other party.
Zhao Yu nodded dumbfounded, compared the monk's appearance with the drawing he carried with him, and finally said: "It's him, Monk Fachan, the abbot of Hongshou Temple."
The thunder in Zhao Yu's chest had not calmed down yet. Li Xing's movements were too fast. Before anyone could react, he had already pulled the person out.
"What a skill, sir!" Feng Tianlei quickly praised.
"Yes, yes, with adults here, we don't need to take action at all." Zhao Lei and others also agreed: "If adults take action, one can stand up to the other two!"
"A piece of cake."
Li Xing waved his hand calmly and looked at Zhao Yu expectantly: "Where is the next place?"
"What?"
Zhao Yu was stunned and said in surprise: "There is no next place at all. We successfully captured the target. The mission is completed. We can close the team."
"What?"
This time it was Li Xing's turn to be surprised, right? Although the barbarian spies were generously rewarded, they only caught one spy, which was completely disappointing for his efforts these days.
Almost at the same time, throughout the empire, the Yulong Guards cooperated with the local county government and launched a large-scale search operation against barbarian spies.
They surrounded temples, taverns, inns, yizhuang, and inns...
They usually disguise themselves very well, some are private school teachers, some are county government servants, some are tavern chefs, and some have even reached very high positions.
Just today, their identities were suddenly exposed, and some were put in chains and thrown directly into prison.
Of course, some people got wind of it in advance and quietly withdrew without waiting for orders from above.
…
The sun in the east is rising soon.
Outside the temple, looking at Li Xing whose face was full of depression, Zhao Yu actually felt a little relieved.
"It's like this. Each team has its own mission. We should escort the suspect back now. Maybe we are the first to complete the mission. Master Shan will definitely reward everyone."
"Rewards are what I care about. What I care about..." Li Xing paused and said angrily: "What I care about is the conscience of an official."
"Wow!"
The crowd was amazed, and everyone thought: Magistrate Li is so dedicated.
Catching only one spy certainly couldn't satisfy Li Xing's appetite. He paused and suddenly kicked the fat monk on the ground:
"Do you have any accomplices?"
"snort!"
Monk Fachan turned his head and said, "No matter what you ask me, I won't tell you."
Li Xing remained calm, put on the truth ring, and asked again: "Do you have any accomplices?"
Monk Fachan frowned and said, "Yes."
"Where is he?"
"Thirty miles north of the city, there is a steamed stuffed bun shop. The owner is named Zhao Laoliu."
"I saw you were preparing to run away just now, were you planning to go to him?" Li Xing asked.
"Yes, that's the last stop on my way home. I'll be safe when I get there."
Monk Fachan also felt something was wrong, so he endured it for a few days and prepared to move early this morning.
Just a step too late, Li Xingti slipped up and caught him.
"Is this where you will pass when you retreat to the grassland?" Li Xing asked.
"Yes, that is the best safety station. We will get supplies there and then return to our hometown."
Li Xing's eyes lit up: "This is an opportunity."
"County Magistrate Li, be careful of fraud." Zhao Yu said.
Li Xing had quietly taken off his truth ring. He shook his head and looked at the sky and said: "Even a piece of grass or a piece of toilet paper will have its effect. Even a spy can be partially believed sometimes. This
For once, I believed him."
Monk Fachan lay there, not knowing whether he should be grateful for this trust.
Zhao Yu had nothing to say and said, "Then we should go back earlier and bring the news to the stall owner so that he can confirm the authenticity of the news?"
Li Xing shook his head: "Chi Zesheng has changed. In my opinion, we should rush to the Baozi Shop immediately. You think about it, the Baozi Shop is the best level for the barbarians. As long as we lock this level, the barbarian spies will come and arrest as many as possible.
None of them can escape."
Zhao Yu was already somewhat persuaded, but still a little hesitant: "But, we'd better report it to the big stall first..."
"well……"
Li Xing shook his head: "Opportunities pass by in an instant. A man must seize the opportunity. Mr. Zhao, in fact, I have always been optimistic about you. I feel that you are not a thing in the pool. The only thing missing is an opportunity."
Li Xing looked into Yu's eyes and said seriously: "Do you want to miss this opportunity?"
The morning sun shone on Li Xing's face. At this moment, he had a holy radiance, and his words had irresistible power.
Zhao Yu was indeed moved and raised his head: "Of course not."
Li Xing nodded, gave him an expression that said "I saw you right", and then waved his hand: "Let's go."
Zhao Yu's action team completed its identity transformation at this moment and evolved into County Magistrate Li's team. Li Xing has become the de facto master of this team.
Under his command, the team divided into two groups and escorted Monk Fachan back to the county government office, while Li Xing and Zhao Yu headed to the North City Gate.
At the north gate, they borrowed some horses from the guards, and then hurried to the bun shop in the north of the city.
Li Xing took the lead and walked at the front of the team. At this moment, he couldn't wait in his heart.
Zhao Yu is also a good rider, but at this moment he is unable to catch up with him.
He looked at Li Xing's back and said to Feng Tianlei next to him: "Is County Magistrate Li always working so hard?"
"Yes, I don't know what he is after." Feng Tianlei couldn't help but said.
For example, this matter has nothing to do with Li Xing. He was sitting in the county government office drinking tea and listening to music. Why not unite the big families in the city and collect the taxes for a hundred years?
However, Li Xing did not do any of these things and focused solely on handling the case and arresting people.
Isn't he afraid of danger? Doesn't he feel hard work?
From Feng Tianlei's point of view, this is simply incomprehensible.
Zhao Yu's eyes were filled with admiration, and he couldn't help but sigh: "After all, there are only four words: serve the country and the people."
“For the country and the people?”
Feng Tianlei asked in confusion: "There are still such people now?"
"The righteousness of heaven and earth will always exist in people's hearts. This is eternal." Zhao Yu whipped his horse whip heavily: "Drive!"
…
Baozi shop in the north of the city.
Zhao Laoliu was still sitting at the door smoking his pipe as usual.
The smell of blood came from the store, and the ugly woman was holding a boning knife and packing up the ingredients.
"Prepare more meat. I'm afraid there are a lot of guests today, and we have to keep them full."
"I know, I killed two yellow sheep yesterday, plus today's two, there are four in total, which will definitely be enough."
The ugly woman said: "When will we withdraw?"
"withdraw?"
Zhao Laoliu tapped the cigarette pouch on the sole of his shoe: "I won't withdraw. I never thought about withdrawing."
