Chapter 126 The Traps in the Letter
Elder Chang was hanged on the Xuanshoutai, it was also the prefect who was trying to make an example to others.

Once this person died, everyone knew that their uprising had indeed been exposed.

"For three years, we have worked hard and planned secretly for today! But once it all goes to waste, I am really unwilling!" Elder Wu was heartbroken and beat his chest several times, tears could no longer hold back.

The rest of the people also burst into tears.

It was rare that there were dozens of seven-foot men crying in front of him, and Si Ruiyan suddenly felt a little restless.

The position where he is sitting now may still belong to Elder Chang.

"The dead can't be brought back to life, but the young master is innocent. You recruited the young master for no other reason, so I want to ask, how did you know that our uprising has been exposed?" Mrs. Ming quickly calmed down, and vigilance appeared in her eyes. .

The rest of the people immediately stopped crying and looked up at Si Ruiyan.

"Because of the deployment of troops." Si Ruiyan whispered coldly, without squinting.

A month ago, the city guards in Kyoto were mobilized on a large scale and the deployment of troops was re-planned.Some of them were not taken into the palace, nor continued to be stationed at the city gate, but disappeared inexplicably.

Needless to say, those people must have been secretly sent out of the city.

Si Rui ordered Chengfeng to investigate the neighboring states around Kyoto to see where troops were dispatched.Coincidentally, he found Xihe City.

It has been several years since the rebel army gathered here, but it was the first time that Xihe City dispatched soldiers and horses from Kyoto to station there, so there must be some connection.

Once there is a doubt, it is not difficult to follow the clues to investigate.

Li Taishou of Xihe City is not a poor man, but if he dares to ask the capital to send troops, he is sure that he will put down the chaos.

The bandits were gone, and there were no bandits making trouble nearby, so the only thing he had to deal with was the rebel army hidden in Xihe City.

"So that's how it is!" Elder Wu slapped his thigh, "I said why the number of thieves in the city has decreased a lot in the past month. It turns out that there are secret soldiers and horses playing tricks!"

In order to inquire about the news, the rebel army pretended to be peddlers and spies.If there are thieves, there will naturally be officers and soldiers. They know how to pretend, and so will the officers and soldiers.

In Xihe City, there are actually many peddlers disguised as officers and soldiers. As long as they see any suspected rebels, they will be arrested and taken into custody immediately.

Whether it is true or not, it is impossible for that person to come out of the prison again.

"If there is really a city guard from the capital here, then the matter of the uprising will have to be discussed in the long run." Mrs. Ming whispered, her eyebrows slightly frowned.

"How can three years of hard work be ruined!"

The people around Si Ruiyan raised their voices, and when he squinted, he saw a man in his thirties with a somewhat refined appearance.

But his rough voice was the complete opposite of his gentle appearance.

"The prefect's mansion is originally a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair. In the past, the elders often inquired about the mansions of ordinary dog ​​officials. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it. Now the prefect's mansion is heavily guarded, just like the restoration of the sky net. It is understandable for him to miss. This does not mean that our The plan was exposed, maybe it was just a false alarm!"

Elder Wu was furious, and suddenly stood up: "Everyone is dead, why are you talking about a false alarm. Chief Zheng, don't you want all the brothers to be killed!"

Hearing this, Gang Leader Zheng also stood up angrily: "How can you kill the dog emperor and calm the world! I have also experienced the skills of the city guards in the capital, but they are just paper tigers. Even if they are really reinforcements, it is no good. Scared!"

"Nonsense!" Elder Wu retorted even louder, "If you want to act and lead your gang away, we will never take such a risk, and leave the green hills without worrying about firewood!"

Gang Leader Zheng snorted coldly in disdain, glanced at Mrs. Ming, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Madam has always been wise and decisive, I wonder what Madam would like?"

After arguing and arguing, in the end, I still have to listen to Mrs. Ming.

Si Ruiyan looked sideways at Mrs. Ming.

Sure enough, the final decision is still up to her.

"Instead of asking me, you might as well ask Young Master." Mrs. Ming also looked at Si Ruiyan, her eyes were calm, and she couldn't tell whether she was really asking or testing.

"Since the young master has investigated everything so clearly, whether to attack or defend, he must have a prejudice in his heart."

It was originally the rebels' own business, but Mrs. Ming threw a hot potato to Si Ruiyan. To put it bluntly, it was just a temptation.

If Si Ruiyan said to cancel the uprising, then he would never be able to get out of this inn.If he said it was going on as usual, then everything he said and did last night would be another drama.

The answer is yes and no, no and no.

The eyes on the veil were moist and clear, but at this moment they were stained with a strange light.

Everyone in the hall held their breath, their eyes fell on Si Ruiyan like needles.

"The elder entered the prefect's mansion at night, unfortunately he was killed on the spot. Human life is one thing, but killing grass and scaring snakes is two." Si Ruiyan lightly raised his eyes to the window sill, his eyes were deep.

"Today's Xihe City must be full of soldiers. If you want to know whether to advance or retreat, why don't you go out and have a look."

Everyone's hearts were moved, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Mrs. Ming and Elder Wu also glanced at each other, and their expressions were not very good-looking.

The prefect of Xihe City occupies an important traffic area, where there are many foreigners and strangers, and secret activities are also emerging endlessly.How could Li Taishou wear his black hat so securely without any investigative skills?

The rebels sneaked into the prefect's mansion, this is undoubtedly a thunderbolt hitting Xihe City.

If Prefect Li only regarded the elder and others as petty thieves, he would not hang their heads in the market.

When the matter was brought to light, Prefect Li was prepared even though he was defenseless. If the rebels still wanted to revolt, they would throw themselves into a trap and die in vain.

Si Ruiyan knew that these people didn't want three years of hard work to go to waste, but would they have to pay for the next 30 years just for these three years?

It's just that he didn't say this, and if he did, they would guess that he had selfish intentions and deliberately persuade them to give up the uprising.

The key to this is that they can figure it out, and they can't help it if they don't.

"Let's go back first, everyone. Today I will go out with Elder Wu to inquire." Mrs. Ming glanced at Si Ruiyan, "Of course, it is best for you to accompany me, too."

Si Ruiyan didn't nod or shake his head.

He has no choice at all.

The three of them were walking on the street, and many people cast strange glances at them.

A 50-year-old man with grizzled hair, a charming woman with clear eyebrows and a veil, and a young man wearing a mask whose appearance cannot be seen clearly, but who has an immortal temperament.

It's unbelievable that these three people make do together.

Scouting the streets, they could have split up.But Mrs. Ming insisted that the three of them walk together, almost shoulder to shoulder, so that others could see that they knew each other.

They walked all over the streets and alleys of Xihe City, almost finding a roadside tea stand to sit down at one place, ordering a pot of tea and a stack of pastries.After sitting for less than a quarter of an hour, the three got up and left again.

"Most of the people on this street are looking at us, only a few peddlers on the other side of the street are staring at us." Elder Wu took a sip of tea, and his mouth was dry after walking all the way.

Mrs. Ming's eyes fell on a certain businessman, and she saw that the businessman was wielding a machete and chopping a piece of pork ribs.It's just that the place where the knife landed was too jerky, cutting a good piece of meat and bone into strange shapes.

This man was no butcher at all.

A real butcher's knife is precise and sharp.However, the person in front of him was jerky, and his brows were still wrinkled, as if he couldn't stand the smell of meat.
