"I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" The man was furious and raised his hand to slap Chen Qun, but another man held him back and whispered, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Why don't you take him back first and add him carefully?"
ask."
The man stopped his hand and said viciously: "If I tell the truth now, I can give you a good pleasure. If you don't tell me, I will look good on you when I get to the end of the field."
Chen Qun just pretended to be dumbfounded and refused to say a word.
The man had no choice but to wink at his two companions. The two men stepped forward and lifted Chen Qun up. The man whispered a warning in Chen Qun's ear: "Be honest with me along the way. If you dare to make any noise,
, I’ll kill you first!”
Chen Qun nodded, and was very obediently sandwiched between the three of them, and walked out of the alley. He knew very well that this was Yuan Shao's territory. Even if he asked for help, even if he got rid of these three murderers, he would not be able to survive.
It is inevitable that it will fall into Yuan Shao's hands. For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time.
Since turning around this alley leads to the main street, the three men who held Chen Qun hostage also quietly put away the sharp knives they carried, but their hands never left Chen Qun's side. Chen Qun saw that those people's arms were thick and their veins were bulging.
They all have enough strength, even if they don't have weapons in hand, it's easy to kill themselves, but they really don't dare to act rashly.
When we were still three or four steps away from the entrance of the alley, a man suddenly came forward. The man was no more than six feet tall. He was wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a load of vegetables. He walked over step by step. He looked like a vegetable farmer.
When Chen Qun saw someone coming, he was very happy. He was looking for an opportunity to escape. He quickly looked up and saw that the vegetable farmer's bamboo hat was pressed very low, covering most of his face, making it hard for people to see clearly and not know.
He noticed his situation. When Chen Qun was anxious, the vegetable farmer had already approached.
The alley was very narrow, and the vegetable farmer picked up the burden again, blocking Chen Qun's path. "Scarface" saw this and shouted: "That man, please step back for a moment. When we pass, it's not too late for you to leave again."
"
It's okay if he didn't say this, but when he did, the vegetable farmer simply put down his burden, raised his voice and said in a rough voice: "The road is facing the sky, everyone goes to one side, why should I let you? You go back and let me
I'll go first!"
This alley is not too short. The three men holding Chen Qun hostage have almost finished walking. How can they go back? Besides, four of Chen Qun's followers were killed in this alley. If they go back, their secrets will be revealed.
"Scarface" glanced at the two companions, with a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes, and quietly took a step back, as if to clear a way. The vegetable farmer gave a disdainful "hum" and picked up the load again.
On his shoulder, he walked over swaying. "Scarface"'s two companions were also secretly on guard, and both hands quietly grasped the handle of the knife hidden behind him.
Suddenly, the vegetable farmer's foot slipped, his footing became unstable, and he fell towards "Scarface". "Scarface" focused on controlling Chen Qun, thinking that it would be no big deal if two companions took down a vegetable farmer, but he didn't.
Unexpectedly, the vegetable farmer appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Before "Scarface" could react, he felt a chill in his abdomen. When he looked down, a short knife was inserted from his abdomen, lifted up to his chest, and opened a big hole, and all the internal organs leaked out.
"Scarface" raised his head in pain, and then realized that his two companions were holding their throats and slowly falling to the ground. The vegetable farmer had already floated back three steps away, still holding a knife in his hand.
He was holding the pole, but both ends of the pole were stained with a trace of blood.
The vegetable farmer killed three people in a row almost with just a few moves. Chen Qun didn't have time to say anything. The vegetable farmer lifted his bamboo hat upwards and said with a grin: "Mr. Changwen, I've shocked you!"
Chen Qun took a closer look and asked in surprise: "General Le, why are you here?"
It turned out that this vegetable farmer turned out to be Cao Cao's general Le Jin! Cao Cao was worried about Chen Qun's safety, so he sent Le Jin to protect him secretly, and he actually saved Chen Qun's life.
Le Jin lowered the bamboo hat again and whispered: "This is not the place to talk. Sir, please come with me!"
There is an inconspicuous cloth shop near the west gate of Yecheng. The business is very light and there are not many customers. Suddenly, a clerk hurriedly slipped in from outside and went directly into the back hall. He lowered his head and said, "Go back to the shopkeeper.
They missed."
The man in the back hall had his back to the door. Hearing the waiter's words, he softly said "Hey" and was silent for a long time. Then he waved his hand and asked the waiter to leave. The man turned around slowly, and it was him.
Shopkeeper Song.
It turned out that shopkeeper Song was grateful to Liu Xin and insisted on going to the most dangerous place, so Jushou sent him to Yecheng. This cloth shop was a liaison station set up by shopkeeper Song in Yecheng.
As soon as Chen Qun and others left Puyang, Phantom got the news and sent people to follow them all the way to Yecheng. In order to prevent Chen Qun and others from seeing through, the people responsible for tracking were not the same people. After entering Yecheng, the task of continuing the tracking naturally became
It was transferred to shopkeeper Song.
Soon, Shopkeeper Song found out the movements of Chen Qun and others. They never came out after entering Xu You's house. Shopkeeper Song wanted to make another great contribution to repay Liu Xin, so he
During these days in Yecheng, he worked very hard and developed many people. Naturally, he also had an informant in Xu You's family.
It's just that Chen Qun's affairs this time were too confidential, and Shopkeeper Song's spy at Xu You's home couldn't get any information. Of course, Xu You kept strictly confidential about Chen Qun's arrival, not to guard against Shopkeeper Song and the others, because
Xu You didn't know the existence of Shopkeeper Song at all. Naturally, he did this to prevent Yuan Shao from knowing that he had secret dealings with Cao Cao.
As a result, the more sneaky Xu You and Chen Qun were, the more itchy shopkeeper Song became. In desperation, he thought of kidnapping Chen Qun and interrogating him to find out the true purpose of Cao Cao sending him to find Xu You. Even if he asked
If you don't come up with anything, you can kill Chen Qun, Cao Cao's important counselor, and do it on Yuan Shao's territory. Not only will it be a heavy blow to Cao Cao, but it will also provoke disputes between the Yuan and Cao families.
Kidnapping and assassination are not what Phantom is best at, and there is no order from above. It was only when Shopkeeper Song learned through his spy that Xu You would let Chen Qun leave through the back door that he came up with the idea. Because Shopkeeper Song knew very well that these wealthy families
There were very few people passing by outside the back door. This matter was already close to success, but suddenly Le Jin appeared on the way, and Chen Qun ran away. He also killed three of his subordinates. It was really a steal but a loss of rice.
Fortunately, these three subordinates are only peripheral personnel and have no access to the core of Yecheng Phantom. However, in this way, the actions of the entire Phantom lurking in Yecheng need to be restrained and they can temporarily avoid the limelight.
However, Yecheng suddenly became chaotic. On the same day, seven people died in the alley behind Xu You's house. This was a great event in Yecheng. Not to mention that it was the back alley of Xu You's house.
Xu You was another popular figure in front of Yuan Shao. These seven lives alone were enough to keep the prefect of Yecheng busy for a while.
Fortunately, the status of these people was not noble. Four of them were merchants from Yanzhou, but they did not carry anything valuable. The other three were local gangsters who had no victims. They had been noisy for a while.
That's all.
But Xu You was worried for a long time. As soon as Chen Qun left his house, he was plotted against by others. Who could be the murderer? Xu You quickly identified Feng Ji as the suspect.
In his case, it was the day he contradicted himself in front of Yuan Shao that prevented Yuan Shao from making up his mind to attack Cao Cao. Could it be that Feng Ji already knew that he and Cao Cao were secretly collaborating? But why didn't Chen inform Cao Cao?
All the followers were dead, where did he go?
Xu You couldn't understand these problems, and neither could Cao Cao and Chen Qun. If it was Yuan Shao's hand, he could have sent troops to arrest Chen Qun with great fanfare. There was no need to be so sneaky. Could it be that Xu You wanted to kill people and silence them?
?But Chen Qun already lived in his home, so he had plenty of opportunities to take action. Why wait until Chen Qun left before taking action?
This sudden incident caused many people to worry, but who would have thought that this was just a failed operation carried out by Liu Xin's men without permission.
Although this incident caused a stir in Yecheng for a while, it is certain that it will gradually be forgotten by people after a while. Despite this, shopkeeper Song truthfully reported the situation to Xiangyang. Since this operation was planned by him without authorization,
Yes, what awaits him will be severe punishment from inside the Phantom.
In Xiangyang City, Mi Zhu counted the days anxiously. In his opinion, the short three days seemed to be longer than three years. By the afternoon of the third day, Mi Zhu could no longer sit still and quickly ordered a trap.
A horse-drawn carriage rushed to the State Shepherd's Mansion again.
Mi Zhu had just gone out and walked not far when he heard a shout from behind. When he turned around to look, he saw hundreds of horsemen and horses surrounding a prison car, coming this way. It looked like they were heading east as well.
Went to the city area.
The prison of Xiangyang City is located at the south gate. Logically speaking, when prisoners come, they should be escorted to the south gate, and not to Dongcheng District, which is full of official residences.
Mi Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition. He took a closer look and found that in addition to the Feihu guards, there were dozens of soldiers escorted by the vehicle wearing clothes and armor similar to Liu's.
The regular legions under Xin are not the same.
While he was hesitating, the team of people had passed by him. Mi Zhu noticed that the man in the prison car was an old man in his fifties, with a sluggish face. A stench could be smelled from a distance, and he had obviously suffered.
A lot of sins were committed.
Mi Zhu heard Zhang Liao say that Liu Xin was kind to both prisoners and criminals, and never allowed his subordinates to abuse punishment. Even if a prison car was used to transport prisoners, he would let them sit in the prison car instead of transporting prisoners like this.
The criminal was held up in the air until he was half dead. Needless to say, this criminal was not captured by Liu Xin. He must be the "culprit" he mentioned that day.
