Stepmother Shaoguang

Not only did Lu Xiaowen have new evidence, but the case between King Qi and Luo Yunde also made progress.

The body of the informant who hanged himself was randomly thrown on the hill outside the Taoist temple. Given King Qi's temper, he would not be buried for him.

I just kept an eye out and sent a subordinate to guard near the Taoist temple.

Sure enough, after more than 20 days, King Qi found Mingyue Tower, and there was no other action. After a period of calm, a middle-aged man dressed in commoner sneaked over and took advantage of the night to clean up the informant. bones, want to take away.

That subordinate was also clever, he knew that his martial arts were not very strong, so he visually measured the stature of the two of them, and chose to follow him secretly to see where he lived.

Turning around, he turned into a small alley behind Xuewu Street, turned a few more turns, and then opened a hidden back door, and the man who stole the bones slipped in.

The subordinate followed here, went back, and secretly made a mark along the road.

By the time Luo Yunde received the news and brought people over, the sky was already bright.

Along the way, he also noticed that something was wrong here: in the alley next to it, the sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard endlessly, as well as the sounds of men working, women working, and children playing. But on this street, there were There are few customers at the breakfast stand, and the houses of each household are quiet, there is no sound, and there are no people who go out to work.

Luo Yunde casually grabbed a peddler who was carrying vegetables for questioning, the peddler saw that he was wearing official robes, he was very polite and did not dare to tell lies.

"My little brother, there is still room for stalls on this street, why don't you set up a stall here?"

The peddler shook his head: "Hey, sir, you don't know, since a group of men called refugees and laborers came here last year, our business has never been easy. They don't have wives, and they don't know how to cook by themselves. They order delivery from restaurants every day. If it’s not that you can’t support yourself, why do you think there are so few stalls here?”

Luo Yunde asked: "Most of the people who live on this street moved here last year? Do they usually go out to find work?"

The peddler shook his head again: "I don't know about it, I think there must be some. Otherwise, who can afford to eat outside every day?"

Luo Yunde let the man go, he looked at the quiet street thoughtfully.

The subordinate who was the first to discover led a group of people including Luo Yunde, and walked along the sign all the way to the door.

"It's here, Lord Luo, I saw him enter here with my own eyes."

Luo Yunde peeped in through the crack of the wooden door.

In the empty yard, there is no breath of life, only a simple wooden basin and a water ladle.Strangely, there are also some long spears and long swords lined up in the yard, with bright eyes shining.

The subordinates waited for his wink and wanted to rush in.

Luo Yunde's heart sank, and he signaled his subordinates to be calm.

Then he walked to the back doors of several courtyards next to him, and they all followed the same pattern, lying on the crack of the door and looking in, all of them were in this situation.

If there are people in some yards, you can probably figure out that there are three to four people living in a room. From what the peddler said just now, combined with the strange yards they saw along the way, you can probably infer There are about a thousand people in total.

They are definitely not ordinary refugees and foreign people.

When = Luo Yunde only brought dozens of people, he made a decisive decision, went back and reported to King Qi, asking for instructions on the next move.

King Qi obviously didn't expect that there were such a large number of suspicious people with weapons hidden in the city. He immediately thought of King Yan's border army and the informant who came from Yanzhou and died in the Taoist temple.

King Qi asked Luo Yunde to go back to Dali Temple to wait for orders, while he paced back and forth in the room.

When Yin Xuan pushed the door in with a food box, he realized that it was already past lunch time.

Seeing that he was thinking about something, Yin Xuan was about to go out, but he asked to stay.

"Wangfei thinks, when is the time to do it?"

He personally poured tea for Yin Xuan, wanting to hear her thoughts.

Yin Xuan bit her lower lip, she dared not draw conclusions on such a big matter.

But looking into King Qi's eyes, she knew she had to speak.

"If the prince uses the government soldiers, how successful is it?" Yin Xuan asked him.

"There are only 300 soldiers in the government, and against 1000 people, is it possible that this king will go to die?"

King Qi has long thought about the feasibility of this move and is impatient. There are only a few soldiers in the government, so Yin Xuan doesn't use his brain?

"The sage and the great general are all in the capital. The prince is concerned about the security of the capital. How could he be sending him to his death?" Yin Xuan said softly, her eyes undrawn by charcoal were pure and confident.

"You mean?"

"If someone picks quarrels and provokes troubles in Xuewu Street, it will have a great impact, and the prince happens to pass by?"

As soon as Yin Xuan said this, he understood, just like the idea of ​​Mingyue Tower before.

"How does the princess predict that someone will provoke trouble?"

He felt that there were still some details to be finalized on the matter.

"It depends on man's effort. If the prince thinks about it, is he still worried?"

Yin Xuan's idea was bold, and on the second day, a group of idlers who usually hang out in the next street came to Xuewu Street, clamoring for protection fees.

Most of the people who are still here to set up stalls here are older old people. These gangsters are arrogant, and the old people can't make much money by setting up stalls on this street on weekdays, so they really can't give it away.

The noise on the street lasted for quite a while, causing several families facing the street to poke their heads out one after another.

These soldiers are tired from training at night, and they can only rest in the morning, and they are very angry when they are woken up, and their tone is not very good: "Hey, what are you doing?"

As soon as the gangsters saw each other, they were strong, dark-skinned, and they were in a group, and they knew that this was the person they were looking for.

Deliberately provoking trouble: "It's none of your business, your uncle's, what kind of onion are you? Leave your grandfather alone!"

The mouth was not clean, and was woken up early in the morning, and the soldiers were angry, and the hormones that had nowhere to disperse waved on their fists.

The gangsters have already been ordered, as long as they suffer this beating, they can get dozens of taels of silver as compensation.

So the harder the opponent beat, the more they cursed while hiding, and they fought back every minute.

Many resident soldiers joined in one after another, and also alarmed the gangsters from other gangs.

Although usually not a group of people, there are always conflicts.But they are all problem youths, disliked by their families, and there is always a revolutionary friendship among gangsters, so they join the melee when they see this.

I don't know who was angry, and rushed into the yard at once, holding a long gun with a cold light, and went straight to the gangster who led the way.

The gangster was taken aback, he didn't know that the other party would have weapons in his home.

The other gangsters were also frightened. Who would have a long gun in an ordinary person's house?
Seeing that the other soldiers were exposed, after the initial bewilderment, some people surrounded the gangsters, and some rushed back to get weapons, trying to cover up the past.
