Chapter 1204: Capture
The four city gate officials trembled.
None of them are stupid, and in this kind of battle, they definitely cannot admit that they have a relationship with Guo Cai.
However, Bai Xiaowen has such sharp eyesight that he can tell who is lying by the frequency of his heartbeat and pulse, and his words are as sharp as a blade. In a few words, he locked on the rightful master - Deng Shouxian, the city gate official of the North Gate.
"Deng Shouxian, if you cooperate now and confess, I can spare your life. If you delay in catching the bandits, I will definitely punish you for adultery with a yellow scarf. This is a serious crime of genocide. You should think about it clearly!"
"Don't think I can't find out! If you don't confess again, I'll call the guards at the north gate for questioning. It's just a waste of time!"
Deng Shouxian's body trembled, and he knelt down with a plop:
"Lord Inspector, the lowly position is just a moment of confusion, and I took Guo Cai's gold beads, so he was allowed to go out of the city at night..."
Bai Xiaowen snorted: "Is he not the only one going out of the city at night? Is there a convoy following him?"
"Yes... yes..."
"Tonight too?"
"Yes, it's the same tonight. At the second watch, Guo Cai personally brought more than ten cars out of the city."
Wang Lie on the side said angrily: "As a city gate official, you actually allow chariots to enter and leave the city gate at will. What if there are thieves hiding inside? You should be beheaded for neglect of duty!"
Deng Shouxian quickly defended: "My lord, the humble official inspects every time to confirm that the contents are corn goods before allowing them to be released. We will never let thieves into the city."
Bai Xiaowen said in a deep voice, "Every time Guo Cai leaves the city, when will he come back?"
Deng Shouxian hurriedly said, "About four o'clock."
Bai Xiaowen counted the time silently, and said lightly: "I already know. Liu Yi!"
"The last general is here!" Liu Yi jumped up and clasped his hands together.
"Take your troops and set up an ambush at the north gate of Xiangping City. When Guo Cai's convoy enters the city, you must catch it!"
"yes……"
I promised,
Liu Yi still lacked confidence: "Young master, as you said, Guo is the yellow scarf bandit. Maybe he knows some magic tricks. What if he gets away..."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly: "I will send my Japanese crow girl to help out. This crow girl is surrendered by a Taoist master, and her methods are powerful. Even if the yellow scarf monster dares to play tricks, it will not get any benefits. You just need to bring more soldiers and horses to get people."
"Obey!" Liu Yi secretly thought about it, this was the first major event since he surrendered.
Bai Xiaowen looked at Deng Shouxian: "Your family is in Xiangping City, right?"
Deng Shouxian's face was as white as paper, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat: "Yes... I beg the governor to spare my life. The lowly position is just a moment of confusion, I don't dare to do it again!"
Bai Xiaowen snorted: "I allow you to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Go back to the north gate immediately, and pretend that nothing happened. Guo Cai will definitely come back from the north gate. When you answer, don't make any mistakes. As long as you earn him into the city , I will pardon your death penalty!"
Bai Xiaowen added in his mind, capital crime is exempt, but he still needs to be punished heavily, at least you have to spit out the oil and water you have searched for these years.
Deng Shouxian survived the desperate situation, overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thanks to the governor!"
Bai Xiaowen stood up and looked around the hall.
Everyone bowed their heads in awe.
"To capture the Yellow Turban bandits, this matter is related to the safety of Liaodong, Youzhou and even Hebei. Don't take it lightly! Except for Deng Shouxian, the other three city gate officials are not allowed to leave without authorization. Liu Yi, send more people to watch over these three people!"
"Yes!" Liu Yi responded awe-inspiringly.
Bai Xiaowen said again: "It's a very important matter, I want to come to the scene in person. Wang and Bing, you can go back to bed."
Both Wang Lie and Bing Yuan were smart people, and they refused almost simultaneously.
Bing Yuan said: "The young master wants to come to catch the thief in person, and the two of us should follow. There is no reason to go back and sleep."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Okay, then you two will have to work hard."
In fact, Bai Xiaowen just wanted Wang and Bing to follow him, not to say that they could play any role, but to avoid leaking information.
These two were newly recruited talents, and Bai Xiaowen didn't ground them like he did with the three city gate officials.
Fortunately, both of them had clear eyebrows and eyes, and they did not go back to "bedtime" in a daze, but expressed their stance to follow, so that if the news leaked, at least it could prove that the two were not accomplices of the Yellow Turbans-don't think that there is no need to clear up the suspicion. Bing Yuan was still a little uneasy at this moment, after all, he and Guo had some interaction.
Liu Yi led the elite troops to ambush at the north gate secretly. Deng Shouxian, the city gate official, calmed down and continued to be on duty. Bai Xiaowen led two scribes to observe secretly in the dark of the north gate.
Delifa followed Liu Yi, about 200 meters away from Bai Xiaowen. At this time, the "Dongying Crow Girl" transformed by Delifa is still Bai Xiaowen's trick of summoning, which can ensure that Bai Xiaowen's identity as the second son of Yuan Xi will be less questioned.
This time the time dragged on for a while, and it was not until the fifth watch that Guo Cai's motorcade slowly returned.
Deng Shouxian answered cautiously, without revealing any flaws.
Guo Cai didn't expect that he would be exposed in the middle of the night, and the city had become a den of dragons and tigers.
When Guo Cai entered the city, Liu Yi gave an order, and hundreds of elite soldiers shouted, threw nets and scratched hooks, and immediately captured Guo Cai and others.
Guo Cai does know some Taoism - this is the information that Bai Xiaowen secretly throws out insight and sees.
However, Guo Cai was lucky and didn't cast the spell decisively. When Liu Yi took him down, he kept yelling that he was innocent.
Liu Yi would not be polite to him, so he tied Guo Cai and more than 20 members of the team with cowhide ropes to ensure that they had no ability to resist.
Only then did Bai Xiaowen heave a sigh of relief.
However, the suspicion in his heart was deeper.
"Guo Cai was captured without much resistance... This probably explains a little bit."
"The key to cracking the dragon pattern gold box is not in him."
"Otherwise, there is no way to explain the difficulty of the 'Mystery in the Box' mission, as high as the A-level hero branch!"
Don't think that you can pass the A-level hero branch with your eyes closed. , even when exploring the spiritual world, you may not be sure to break through this difficulty.
Bai Xiaowen interrogated Guo Cai overnight. He had a vague feeling that the key to the dragon pattern gold box should be with the yellow scarf outside the city.
You know, Guo is the leader of the spiritual specialty!
If such a leader can be instructed to act as a dangerous insider to raise food and supplies for the army, then among the yellow scarf thieves outside the city, there must be a stronger and higher-status Qu Shuai.
Especially when Bai Xiaowen got in touch with the disappearance of Zhang Jiao, the chief boss of the Yellow Turban Army, the great virtuous teacher, he had a guess in his heart.
"Guo Cai, I already know all about you. Let me ask you, where is Zhang Jiao?"
