Chapter 2126: Joining Forces to Plead for Mercy, Night Roundup
Xu Xin panicked.
After Fang Xing and Xu Jingchang led their troops out of the city, he panicked.
Zhu Yong took the initiative to return to Beijing and seemed loyal, but extremely stupid.
The emperor would be angry, there was no doubt about it.
Not to mention Xu Xin, an official of hundreds of households, in the public discussion, everyone said that the emperor would definitely rain down thunder, not to mention destroying the city of Jinan, but none of the guys involved could even think of running away.
Fang Xing has a high prestige in the army. The army led by Zhu Yong cannot stop him, and no one dares to stop him.
After word spread from the Chief Secretary's Yamen that Fang Xing offered a reward of hundreds of dollars to capture Mu Qi, Xu Xin knew that he could not wait any longer.
The atmosphere in the camp was a bit tense, especially in the Qianhu camp that Liang Ping brought back, where everyone looked ashen.
"Who asked to release the arrow? Who asked to release the arrow?!"
Deputy Qianhu Bi Jiubo summoned officials from Baihu to discuss matters. He first stared at Xu Xin and asked: "I remember whether you were... the first or second Baihu to shoot the arrow. Tell me, who shot it?" make?"
Xu Xin was at a loss: "Sir, when I ordered you not to do anything, many people heard you..."
Bi Jiubo stared at him coldly and said, "I will naturally go back to check. If there is any lie..."
He trailed off and stared at Xu Xin. Xu Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I also want to find out that person, so that I can at least get justice for Master Liang."
Bi Jiubo nodded, looked at the others, and said: "There was chaos everywhere at that time, and I was released. This is your Majesty's trust in us, so find out those traitors!"
After they dispersed, Xu Xin returned to his room, his heart twitching as he listened to people being called outside to talk.
According to his calculations, Fang Xing and others would definitely come back today, so he had to leave as soon as possible.
Of course, he had another option, which was to silence the two confidants who had accepted his instructions that day and encouraged the campaign.
But the two of them had liked staying together since day one, and they were clearly guarding against his move.
If we get through this without incident, then everything is easy to say.
If you can't get through it...
…
"Dad and mother these days don't even have their own lives to live by!"
Just outside the camp, a group of patrolling sergeants lamented the fact that someone collapsed today.
Just in the afternoon, a flag officer who was questioned was found evidence and admitted that he ordered the attack. Although he only talked about taking action, and his subordinates only arrayed their spears, they were the first to be dug out.
This was a good start. Bi Jiubo became so excited that he didn't even eat dinner and called people to ask questions.
In Xu Xin's room, the middle of the quilt was arched, as if a person was lying down. Combined with what he said before about being sick, the person monitoring him only looked in from the window every now and then.
it's dark.
Xu Xin, who had successfully walked out of the camp, had changed into civilian clothes and was walking hurriedly in the alley.
The night ban had begun, and he seemed to know where to avoid the patrolling sergeants, walking briskly around the alleys.
Half an hour later, he came to the outside of a house and climbed inside.
When he searched the whole yard and found no one, he couldn't help but raise his head and roar silently.
ah……
The surroundings were quiet, but gradually there was more movement.
Rustling footsteps came from everywhere. Xu Xin looked around and looked at the figures. He said desperately: "Zhu Yong killed my brother! My biological brother!"
He slowly knelt on the ground and roared: "My brother just said a few words while drunk. If he hits me, he will be beaten... dead! dead!"
The footsteps around him stopped, and a man came out, vaguely, and asked: "Who asked you to do it?"
This voice was unfamiliar. Xu Xin raised his head, looked at the people surrounding him, and asked, "Who are you?"
The man took another step forward and said, "I will wake up soon!"
"Uncle..."
"It's Mu Qi! It's him!"
…
"I never knew what they were for?"
Fang Xing stood in the alley,
The lights were brightly lit behind him, and many sergeants were going in and out of the house, checking things.
He felt a little cold, so he clenched his fists, then let go, and said: "It is a serious crime to attack the military formation. If you kill them, even if Liang Ping and others are guilty, they will only be exiled. If the investigation is not done well, they will be demoted. So I really don’t understand.”
Xu Jingchang's face looked a little ugly, "Zhu Yong is also a fool. If a sergeant commits a crime, he must be personally punished. Whose way of commanding the army is this?"
"Xu Xin's words should be true, so now if we want to know the reason, we have to catch Mu Qi, but how? If he really wants to hide, how can we catch him?"
"He was talking nonsense after drinking, and even went out to drink. He was overheard, and then he encouraged him a few words, and the seeds of hatred were planted. When they met outside Deping City, it was the Golden Wind and Jade Dew... Fuck! "
Fang Xing's complaints were of no use to Xu Jingchang. He tugged at his beard and said, "Dehua, it wasn't Xu Xin's troops who made the first move that day!"
Fang Xing said coldly: "Those idiots thought they were omnipotent after drinking too much. As a result, they scratched the faces of many sergeants. Damn it! That's a sergeant, a sergeant who is still bloody and brave!"
Xu Jingchang hissed lightly and asked, "Do you want to plead for those soldiers?"
Fang Xing looked sideways at him and said seriously: "Can't you? They were forced. Their faces in front were scratched, but that idiot Liang Ping didn't respond. Those sergeants were already very tolerant, so... …Are you coming?”
Xu Jingchang said with a bitter face: "You just like to drag me into this... Well, this happened while I was in Jinan, so I have no choice but to take responsibility."
Xu Jingchang and Fang Xing pleaded for the soldiers together, which should make everyone face up to the tricks and helplessness involved.
"If you find Mu Qi, the reward will be doubled to two hundred strings of cash!"
Two hundred strings of cash is a huge sum of money. Xu Jingchang exclaimed: "Then he will definitely not be able to escape."
Fang Xing nodded and said: "I think he should be in Jinan City, because it is the safest place."
Xu Jingchang laughed and did not continue to play dumb. He said: "It is not easy to hide in a small place. The population is small and it is easy to be discovered. Jinan City is indeed the safest."
...
"We must catch him tonight, otherwise it will be troublesome if he escapes tomorrow."
Fang Xing sat on the most prosperous street during the day, with a steaming hot pot on the small table in front of him.
Two large candles were burning, shining the light.
There were shops on both sides, which were very lively during the day, but at this moment there were no lights. Occasionally there was a cough, which was very depressing and disappeared quickly.
Xu Jingchang had already gone back, and Fang Xing ate and drank alone but didn't feel lonely.
Teams of cavalry kept coming and going, bringing the latest news.
Doors were knocked everywhere in the city, and no matter if they were young or anything else, they were all pulled out for questioning and signed.
Those who lied, then wait for death.
"Master, we caught two thieves who climbed over the wall to steal things."
Fang Xing shook his head helplessly: "Let them take over themselves."
The night gradually deepened, and based on more than ten valuable clues, the soldiers gradually narrowed down the scope.
