Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 394 Catching Turtle in the Urn 2.0

The small town where the post house is located, because it is close to Linhuang Mansion, most of the merchants who come from south to north will choose to live here, so it is also very lively, not losing to the city at all.

After Shen Cha and Jin Jing finished making plans, they saw that it was still early and they didn't have anything important to do, so they decided to go out for a stroll together, at least they came to the capital of Liao Kingdom, and they always wanted to buy some special products to take back.

Mei Lin, Mei Zhu, Ying Qi, and Ying Ba stayed in the post house, while Shen Cha and Jin Jing took An Ming, Li Jun and Dai Yi out.

When receiving the order, Dai Yi was stunned. He never thought that such a good thing would happen to him. He pointed to himself and said, "Me?"

"What?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows and patted him on the shoulder, "You don't want to go out with us?"

"want!"

"Let's go then!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Dai Yi almost jumping up with joy, Jin Jing shook her head helplessly, greeted them, and went out with Shen Cha.

As soon as they walked out of the gate of the post house, they found that the familiar feeling of being followed along the way had returned.

A few people exchanged a hidden look, as if they hadn't noticed anything, they went for a walk anyway.

"It seems that we have received the exact instructions. We must look good tonight. We will not let it go until we die!" Jin Jing lowered her voice and said to Shen Cha, "I don't know why I am so persistent. This is not good for them. what is the benefit."

"Naturally, it is beneficial." Shen Cha's face was expressionless, and his eyes swept over the small stalls on the street, "If you kill us, your majesty and brother will be furious and avenge us, while their anger will Someone needs to bear it, this unlucky guy...it goes without saying, of course it is the Yelu family headed by Yelu Ertu."

"If they can't find the murderer and cause disputes between the two countries, they will use the excuse that the Yelu family is incompetent and kick Yelu Ertu off the throne." Jin Jing slightly raised the corners of her lips, "The strategy is good, but it is too easy to expose when it is implemented. Obviously, the person behind the scenes is not very good at this kind of planning."

"If you are good at it, you won't be suppressed by the Yelu family for so many years and be unable to raise your head." Shen Cha patted Jin Jing's arm, walked to a stall, and pointed to a lively little tiger sculpture on the stall, "Yes Isn't it interesting?" She looked up at the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this?"

"Five cents." The stall owner looked at Shen Cha, then at Jin Jing, and then at the three guards behind them, "Aren't the guest officials local? The accent is from Daxia, right?"

"The boss isn't a local, is he? Judging by your appearance, you seem to be from the south of the Yangtze River." Jin Jing took out a small piece of silver from her purse and threw it to the stall owner, "These tigers want it all!" , wrap it up for us."

"The guest officer's eyes are really poisonous. The villain is indeed from Jiangnan. However, he has been doing business in Liao for five or six years. Before that, he often went back to his hometown. In the past two years, he has grown older and rarely I'm going back." The stall owner collected the money, quickly wrapped up the little tiger sculptures on the stall, put them in a bamboo basket, handed them over, and took the opportunity to say in a low voice, "Young master, tell the general that everything is finished. Prepare, please rest assured!"

"Thank you!"

Shen Cha turned around and glanced at Dai Yi, and Dai Yi ran up to take the basket from the stall owner.

They shopped and bought all the way, most of them were some inconspicuous small ornaments, and some handmade products with Liao characteristics. It was almost time for dinner, and they returned to the post house with big bags and small bags. .

"General Shen and Military Master Jin, you two are back!" Yicheng stood waiting for them at the gate of the posthouse, and when he saw a group of people coming back, he saluted them, "Mr. bit."

"Thank you, I got it." Jin Jing smiled at Yi Cheng, and casually handed him the two packs of snacks they bought on the street.

Yicheng watched Daxia's people pass by in front of him, and looked at the two packs of snacks in his hand, not knowing whether he should cry or laugh.He is now hoping that Mr. Nan will hurry up to pick him up, lest he always have the illusion that someone is staring at him.

"General, military adviser!" Mei Lin and Mei Zhu had already prepared dinner. When they saw Shen Cha and Jin Jing, they walked over, took the things in their hands, and said to An Ming, Li Jun and Dai Yi, "Your dinner It has been delivered to the house, hurry up and eat, the others have already eaten."

"Okay, the two sisters have worked hard!"

Seeing An Ming, Li Jun and Dai Yi leave, Shen Cha and Jin Jing went up to the room on the second floor, Ying Qi and Ying Ba were already waiting inside, seeing Mei Lin and Mei Zhu's hands full of dang things, they burst out laughing up.

"Didn't you say you went to the streets to investigate the enemy's situation? Why did you buy so many things and come back?"

"Except for the little tiger, your boss bought it back and gave it to Xiaojiu. You should share the rest!" Jin Jing took off her cloak, washed her hands, wiped her face with a hot handkerchief, and sat down. When he arrived at the table, he glanced at Shen Cha who was reading the note, "What's the news?"

"Wanyanping and the tribal leaders have been arrested five or six times. People from the two courts are unable to interrogate them now, but... as we guessed, no matter whether the arrested person confesses or not. , it is impossible for these two groups of people to return to Yiqing Mansion alive."

Shen Cha tore up the small note after reading it, threw it into the burning charcoal basin, asked Meilin to take the pen and paper, wrote a few sentences on the paper, dried the ink on it, and rolled up the note. Okay, put it in a small bamboo tube, give it to Mei Zhu, let her wait until it gets dark, and give it to a boy who sells fried glutinous rice cakes on a shoulder pole at the gate of the post house.

"Hey, let me tell you, this Mr. Yelu is too cautious. He knew you were here and even sent such a person to wait for you. However, his craftsmanship is good, and the little tiger is doing well." Jin Jing picked up the A grilled lamb chop, took a bite, "He asked you for advice?"

"No, he has his own ideas. He just asked me if it was appropriate for him to do that, and if it would cause trouble. After all, we are a cooperative relationship. If he causes trouble, it may implicate us." Shen Cha asked Mei Lin, Mei Zhu, Ying Qi, and Ying Ba sat down to eat, picked up the pimple soup, and took a sip, "He meant that the interrogation must be interrogated, but they must be released after the interrogation is over. Now is a critical period, we cannot Get it right."

"..." Jin Jing threw the cleanly gnawed bone on the table, and picked up another one, "That guy has a pure appearance, but the inside is completely black."

"Brother Xiaojing, can you think of what he does, isn't he as black as him?"

Seeing Jin Jing staring at him, Shen Cha smiled, finished the soup in the bowl, felt full after two mouthfuls of food, wiped his mouth with the handkerchief placed beside him, leaned on the pillow, and looked at Ahead, think about your own thoughts.

"Okay, let's clean up!" Jin Jing ate up a plate of grilled lamb chops and drank two big bowls of pimple soup. He finally filled his stomach. He stood up and walked around the room to digest his food. Said, "However, what does he mean when he said that everything is ready, so you can rest assured?"

"We set up the net inside, and they are in charge of the perimeter, so they can make sure that no... thieves will be let go." Shen Cha rubbed his forehead, looked at the few people who had finished cleaning up, "while those people haven't started to move, , you all go back and rest first. After Merlin delivered the news, he squinted for a while to refresh his mind. After arresting the person, he will interrogate him overnight, and when Mr. Nan arrives tomorrow, he will hand him over to him."

"Yes, General!"

Shen Cha and Jin Jing chatted for a while, checked the weather, it was almost noon, and each went separately to prepare.

When it was time to set watch, the entire post house slowly quieted down, and everyone fell asleep.

After about a cup of tea, more than a dozen black shadows sneaked into the post house without a sound, stood in the yard and gestured to each other, leaving three people guarding the door of the post house, and the others all rushed to the backyard .

When they came to the backyard, under the light of the moon, the black shadows looked at the small two-story building. They made gestures to discuss, leaving five or six people in the yard on the first floor, and the rest quietly Climb up to the second floor.

In the middle of the two rooms on the second floor, one belongs to Jin Jing and the other belongs to Shen Cha. After discussing it, they decided to solve Shen Cha's serious problem first.If Shen Cha died, Daxia's people would lose their backbone, and they would naturally be in chaos.

After making a decision, one of the black shadows stood up and walked to Shen Cha's door, gently opened the latch, and carefully pushed the door open, several people tiptoed in.

They stood at the door, did not rush into the house, but carefully looked at the whole room, under the moonlight, they saw that there seemed to be someone lying on the bed.Even if they saw someone with their own eyes, they were afraid of being fooled. If they were ambushed, all previous efforts would be wasted.So, they stood in place, listened attentively, and after confirming that there was indeed a slight and steady breathing sound in the room, they nodded to each other and continued to move forward, reaching the bedside smoothly.

Standing by the bed, they saw the sleeping man wrapped in a thick quilt with his back to them. Several people looked at each other and showed a contemptuous smile at the same time.

The legendary Iron-Blooded Female General is nothing more than that. The black-hearted and cruel-hearted, and the cleverness and closeness to monsters are all blown out by others.Maybe she is indeed brave, but her scheming is not as powerful as in the legend.Otherwise, why don't you have the slightest bit of defense!

Several people stood in front of the bed for a while, and found that the person on the bed did not intend to wake up. They finally breathed a sigh of relief, gestured to each other, and at the same time drew out their waist knives and slashed towards the bed.

Just as their knives were about to fall, eight hemp ropes swung out from all corners of the room, not only taking the knives out of their hands, but also knocking them down to the ground.

"It's hit!"

The moment the assassins fell to the ground, the whole room was as bright as day, and the bright candlelight hurt their eyes, and their eyes turned black for a moment, and they couldn't see anything.

　I heard a ghost story last night, and I didn't fall asleep half the night, sleepy!
