Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 244 War Horse (1)

Apart from this group of people in the yamen hall, Gu Qi didn't know how many people there were in Yuan'an Town, and he didn't plan to gamble on it.

It was obvious that Jin Wenzhong was not someone willing to cooperate honestly.Yue Hongxing, however, did not worry about not being able to win with some means, but although Yue Hongxing was one of the three assistant officials, he was obviously a marginal figure and not much was known about it.Torturing him was also largely a waste of time.

Gu Qi had no intention of wasting time, after he tied up everyone, he sent Huang Shanhai to the inn to deliver a message.

At this time, he was drinking a cup of tea slowly, as if he was not deciding the life and death of a group of people, but just listening to a play in a teahouse.

Of course, apart from the fact that the tea brought by Lao Qing was not very tasty, the situation at this time was not much different from drinking tea and watching a play for Gu Qi.

Gu Qi didn't interrogate Jin Wenzhong, he didn't even bother to talk to him, and he didn't interrogate Yue Hongxing and the chief bookkeeper Ji Zhongrong who just woke up from a coma for a long time.

However, Gu Qi was not in the mood to interrogate, but he couldn't resist someone willing to speak.

The person who is speaking below is the leader of the yamen servants, and he is the only one who knows the reason of the matter.

At this time, the leader of the yamen servant has long lost the arrogance he had when he was arresting people in the inn, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look directly at Gu Qi, he just said dejectedly:
"I used to be a yamen servant in Liushu Town, a neighboring county. Later, the drought became more and more severe, and everyone in Liushu Town ran away, and even the yamen could no longer distribute rice. The other yamen servants and I couldn't make it through. It was discussed that by the convenience of the guards, many small merchants who had fled were robbed along the way.

After we had the silver and rice, we originally planned to escape from the Yuzhou Prefecture, but we didn't expect to meet a group of people on the official road near Yuan'an Town.Those people were all holding heavy weapons, and the horses they were riding were also different from the horses commonly seen in ordinary merchants' homes.

Those horses are strong and well-trained, and they are even more uniform when they walk.It's not something that ordinary people can train and raise, even the spare horses in the official station are far behind.

So, our brothers suspected that this group of people came out of the barracks.That horse should be a war horse."

"Barracks, are you sure?"

"It's right, it's right. It can't be wrong." The leader of the yamen servant hurriedly swore, "I have a brother who used to be in the military camp, but retired due to injury."

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, which is a bit interesting.

"Can you tell it's from that army?" Ada asked curiously.

The leader of the yamen servant shook his head: "This is not sure."

"What then?"

"Those people couldn't offend them at first glance. My brothers and I wanted to avoid it, but a scribe among them stopped us and asked us if we would like to go with them.

At that time, it had been a long time since we had encountered merchants who were on their way alone. Although there was still some silver we had robbed earlier, there was not much food left.Some of the brothers asked if they would go with them and give them something to eat.The scribe said that the status of their masters was extraordinary, and following them would not only make them comfortable in food and clothing, but also make them rich.

At that time, I actually didn’t believe it. How could there be such a good thing in the sky.

It’s just that there are more than a dozen of us in total, and many brothers feel that they can give it a try.I couldn't say anything at the time, and it was too risky to go alone, so I had to go with me.

Later, several of us were taken to a mountain. "

"On the mountain? Do you know where the mountain is?" Gu Qi asked.

The leader of the yamen servant shook his head: "We walked with the team for three days, and then we were pulled by a carriage for another three days.

The carriage is airtight, there is no curtain, and we can't see where we went.When I got off the car, I realized that it was a mountain. There was a valley behind the mountain wall, and there were several rows of camps in the valley. "

camp?Gu Qi frowned: "How many people are there?"

"When we first arrived, there were not many people in the camp. There were fifty or sixty people in total. Later, many people came in one after another. When I was picked up, there were already more than 200 people in the camp."

"They're all men?" Gu Qi asked.

The leader of the yamen servant nodded: "Except for the two women who cook, the rest are basically men. Many of them have practiced kung fu, and even those who have not practiced are all strong and strong."

Gu Qi turned to look at Jin Wenzhong and Yue Hongxing: "You two also came from that camp?"

Jin Wenzhong closed his eyes and did not speak.However, Yue Hongxing shook his head. After a long while, perhaps afraid that Gu Qi would not believe him, he added: "My brother and I were taken into a Zhuangzi. The Zhuangzi is not small. Apart from dozens of people under my command, there are also In addition, there are several bandits. There are nearly 200 people in total."

Obviously Yue Hongxing didn't need to speak on this kind of matter.

That is to say, there is not only one base of these people, but scattered in different places.

And they are very cautious, the personnel arranged together are scattered from different places and then integrated.This can greatly prevent these people from gathering together and defecting, and even supervise each other because of the different camps, making it easier to control and manage.

Gu Qi didn't pay much attention to Jin Wenzhong, and motioned to the leader of the yamen servant: "Continue talking."

"In the camp, we don't need to do anything. Except for the basic daily drills, most of the time is spent learning how to be a government servant, or how to pretend to be a merchant."

The leader of the yamen servant said: "My brothers and I were born in the yamen, and we are familiar with these things. After a few days of learning, we were taken away by the carriage again, and then we went to a Zhuangzi. After that, my brother and I The brothers were dispersed, and I was assigned to Yuan'an Town."

"Have you ever read?" Gu Qi asked.

"I have read books for a few years, and I know a little bit."

"What about painting? Will it?"

The leader of the yamen servant was stunned and shook his head.

Gu Qi frowned, and asked Lao Qing to get a pen and paper, although he said: "Try it first, and draw the appearance of the scribe you mentioned."

As soon as the words on this side fell, the leader of the yamen servant hadn't said anything, but Jin Wenzhong suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at the leader of the yamen servant.If eyes could kill, I'm afraid it would be enough to cut the leader of the yamen servant into pieces right now.

The leader of the yamen servant obviously also paid attention to Jin Wenzhong's gaze, and averted his eyes nervously.

Gu Qi stuffed the pen and paper into the hands of the yamen chief: "Draw now, if the drawing is good, I may consider letting you live."

"Really?!" The leader of the yamen servant had surprise in his eyes.

Jin Wenzhong's eyes were red and he couldn't help shouting angrily: "How dare you!"

Xu Shi Jin Wenzhong's gaze was so frightening that the leader of the yamen servant was so frightened that he didn't even dare to hold his pen for a while.

Gu Qi smiled lightly, and asked the leader of the yamen servant: "Are you afraid of them?"

The leader of the yamen servant did not dare to speak, but his expression was obvious.

Gu Qi didn't care, and asked again, "Do you have relatives in their hands?"
