Chapter 1604 Siege, Strange Disease

For the sake of the master's family, the head of the Feng family bodyguard could only agree: "The Rong people are besieging the city, and the Feng family bodyguard bureau should serve the Chu army and fight against the Rong people."

Lei laughed, haha, these words are really nice, and they were not forced.

Headguard Feng ignored Lei Mao's smile and immediately struck the gong and gathered all the bodyguards from the Fengjia Bodyguard Bureau. However, he did not send all the bodyguards to defend the city, and only gave them seven men: "Bandou Lou, There are many family members in the escort agency, and they need the protection of escorts."

Bantou Lou was not angry. He knew that it was a good thing to get seventy men at this time. He nodded and said: "What the escort chief Feng said makes sense, hurry up and take the escorts to the tower. Listen to what Chief Lei said , the Rong people have attacked the city with slings."

"Yes." The first escort chief Feng immediately replaced the second escort chief, and asked the second escort chief to lead the escorts to defend the city, while he stayed to guard the escort office. If the soldiers broke the city, he could lead the big guys to escape.

As for his family?

Sorry, he is smart and has already sent his family to the master's house in the capital.

"Brothers, follow me!" the leader of the second bodyguard shouted, calling several hundred bodyguards to rush toward the tower with weapons in hand.

Lei Mao continued to follow the yamen people in the city to search for the soldiers.

They had searched several times before and found some Rong people. They originally thought that they would not find any more Rong people this time. Unexpectedly, with the help of the Eagle Food Gang, they found three more nests of Rong people!

"Tear off their hand tendons and hamstrings, don't let them run away!" Lou Bantou shouted to the government officials, held down a woman, and said in disbelief: "Mrs. Xu, you didn't notice, you opened the door The women in the embroidery village are actually made by soldiers."

Mrs. Xu is said to be a very capable person. When she was ten years old, she followed her grandparents to Xing'an Prefecture to join relatives, but she didn't know that her relatives had gone to the south.

Her family didn't have enough money to go south, so they could only survive by doing small jobs and slowly settled in the city.

Later, with her beauty, she married shopkeeper Xu, who was in the cloth business, and with her embroidery skills, she started an embroidery shop and became a famous embroidery shop in Xing'an Prefecture.

But shopkeeper Xu's life was short. After just two good years, he died.

Shopkeeper Xu's family has lived in Xing'an Mansion for generations, so no one doubts that Mrs. Xu is from the Rong army.

But the Eagle Food Gang is not a vegetarian. It is precisely because Mrs. Xu is so capable that she was suspected by the people of the Eagle Food Gang and sent the news to the Lei family caravan.

It takes thunder and lightning to catch Madam Xu.

Madam Xu refused to admit it and cried: "No, I am not a Rongren. I am from Dachu and have lived in Xing'an Mansion for decades. You can't unjustly accuse me just because the Rongren and beasts are attacking me!"

Lei Mao sneered: "You have to deal with it, your daughter was found to be a wolf when she got married, and she still wants to deny it."

Speaking of Madam Xu's daughter, something even more outrageous comes, because she is not the daughter of Shopkeeper Xu, but the daughter of Rongren.

The Rong people attach great importance to bloodline. Madam Xu has suffered the loss of her mother from Dachu in her life, so she cannot marry her Rong lover and is even sent to Dachu to do detailed work.

Therefore, after she married Shopkeeper Xu, she didn't want to give him a mixed-race child, but she couldn't live without a son, so she had a private meeting with Rong Ren and gave birth to a son and a daughter, whom she raised as Shopkeeper Xu's children.

"Shopkeeper Xu died of a bad disease at first, but now it seems that the bad disease was fake and he was probably poisoned!" Lei Mao said, and said to Team Leader Lou: "Take Madam Xu to our Lei Family Store. Team, we have to torture her to see what mission she wants to perform!"

There are two torture chambers in the main house of the Lei Family Caravan, one of which can be described as a hell. The torture chamber of the government office cannot compare at all. Taking Madam Xu and the others to the torture chamber of the Lei Family Caravan will help them find out the truth faster.

"General Manager Lei is right. Let's go and take them to the main house of the Lei Family Caravan." Leader Lou asked his servants to take Madam Xu and the others to the main house of the Lei Family Caravan and began to treat Madam Xu, mother and daughter. , the son was tortured.

Madam Xu was very stubborn and did not confess even when she was beaten to death.

In the end, it was Madam Xu’s son who made the move: “Poison, poison~”

Leader Lou was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's poisoning again. It's really not new. Is this all the Rong people are capable of? It's a pity that we have already sent people to guard the water source. The Rong people can't use this poison."

The son of the Xu family shook his head: "Yes, food, salt and medicine, medicinal materials~"

Madam Xu's daughter married the son of Dong Zhou's family. The Zhou family owned a grain store, and one of her in-laws owned a medicine store.

Although the pharmacy is not big, its business is good. Many families in the city will go to Changjia Pharmacy to buy some cheap medicinal materials.

"What!" Lou Bantou was shocked. Unexpectedly, the soldiers changed their tactics and actually poisoned grain, salt, and medicinal materials: "It's over, it's over, what can we do?"

Lei Mao grabbed the sons of the Xu family and asked angrily: "Where is the poison? Have you poisoned me?"

But the Xu family's son couldn't bear the torture and fainted.

"Old Fang, give him acupuncture to wake him up quickly!" Lei Mao grabbed the doctor from the Lei family's caravan and asked Doctor Fang to give the Xu family's son acupuncture.

Doctor Fang has good medical skills. After a round of acupuncture, the Xu family's son woke up and was in better spirits than before.

Lei Mao: "Tell me, where are the poisons hidden? Who poisoned them?"

The son of the Xu family said: "It was placed in the Zhou family and the Chang family...my sister did it."

The daughter of the Xu family is as smart and vicious as Madam Xu, so Madam Xu leaves it to her daughter to do such important things.

As long as they complete this task, the sons of the Xu family will be able to marry a Rong girl with pure blood, and their whole family will be able to move to the Royal Court of Da Rong to live a good life, and they will no longer be laughed at by the Rong people for being mixed with the blood of humble Da Chu. Bastard!

After hearing this, Lei Mao was speechless. For many years, he couldn't figure out why these mixed-race children were bullied by the Rong people. Why did they still treat the Rong people as their masters?

Isn’t Dachu bad?

Do you have to be humble and work for the Rong people, just hoping that the third generation can become a real Rong people?

But now is not the time to talk about this. Lei Mao immediately said: "Let's go. Last week, Jia Changjia sealed these two houses and searched for poison!"

"Hey." The people from the Lei family's caravan immediately rushed to the Zhou and Chang families.

Leader Lou also called on the government officials to follow him.

The two parties surrounded the two families, and after dragging Zhou Dong's family and Dr. Chang, they went to the two shops and began to search extensively. They found that the grain, salt, and medicinal materials in the two shops were mixed with poison.

Doctor Fang trembled and said: "Look for the account book, quickly find the account book, see who bought these things, and quickly remind them not to eat them, it will kill people!"

"Mom, check the account book!" Lei Mao and Lou Ban were anxious. Fortunately, several groups of soldiers were arrested in the city in the past few days. Madam Xu was afraid that the mission would fail, so her daughter was poisoned a few days later.

The poison had just been harvested the day before, and because the Zhou family wanted to hoard it and wait until the price of grain and salt increased several times before selling it, there were not many families who bought grain and salt, only a dozen or so.

Team Leader Lou immediately took people there and found out the poisonous food and salt they bought.
