Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 407: Something is fishy, ​​don’t act rashly

The wind blows from the undulating mountains and passes through the jagged treetops.

Along with the sound of the wind, whistles sounded in the distance, as sharp and shrill as the cry of a night owl, with a falcon-like aura that made the mountains, forests, and rivers tremble.

One sound, one burst.

They are all signals to stop.

It turned out that after many twists and turns, Lieutenant Jiao still met up with the group of people who set off from the camp and were fooled around by Bai Mingwei.

After asking about the cause and effect of the incident, Captain Jiao felt something was wrong.

It happened that Magistrate Luo came over and immediately stopped tonight's operation.

He called Lieutenant Jiao aside: "You can't move tonight. I always feel that something is fishy. Before we find out the background and purpose of that group of people, we must not act rashly."

Immediately afterwards, he explained the ins and outs of the mysterious man/danger to the county government in detail to Lieutenant Jiao.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Jiao asked him: "Did you know that all the people I captured were rescued? Not only that, the 700 people in my camp and more than 200 people under your command were all led to this mountain."

"According to what they said, there are quite a few people on the other side. Judging from the sounds made by the horses, there are around 100 people. But until now, there is no trace of them."

Magistrate Luo pinched his temples: "Who are these people? What do you think their purpose is?"

"If it's just for revenge on the Xue family, it would make too much noise. If it's for that batch of things, their behavior is incomprehensible to me. It's so confusing."

Lieutenant Jiao sighed: "Those who know about Jiang Shan and are able to plot against Jiang Shan probably also know about those things."

Magistrate Luo frowned: "But what's the matter with them insisting on the Xue family? This group of people is really a headache."

Captain Jiao said: "Never mind that, Li Xianzhao's line is broken. This is the last time we will do this kind of thing for the superiors."

"If it goes well, if there are other ways to bring in money, it will definitely benefit you and me. If it goes wrong, not only will we not be able to live without money, but even if there are benefits in the future, it will have nothing to do with us."

"I originally thought that you could pry that group of people out, but we took the opportunity to get things done, but in the end, you guys were also fooled around."

Then he made a decision: "Since there is uncertainty about this matter, let's stop until it is completely safe."

Magistrate Luo nodded: "But it won't be easy for the Xue family to explain. After all, they are related to the superiors, so we have to give them some face."

Lieutenant Jiao patted Magistrate Luo on the shoulder: "Your Excellency, you are too worried. Something like this happened to the Xue family. It spread to all the towns and villages, and there was an uproar. In my opinion, the superiors should not use it anymore, otherwise it will really cause trouble." Attention."

Magistrate Luo smiled meaningfully: "Then we...don't need to care about the old guy's urging. Getting things done is the most important thing."

The two hit it off immediately and immediately signaled that the operation was cancelled.

But at this time, the two realized an important problem: "No! There was a signal from the warehouse just now, saying that they were ready to open a warehouse. If the other party is really here for grain, then the warehouse must have been exposed."

Magistrate Luo's eyes flashed: "The location of the warehouse is top secret and it is not convenient for all these people to know. In this case, I will order my confidants to remind them that you will continue to search near the warehouse under the banner of suppressing bandits. If you encounter any suspicious If you don't, just kill the other person."

Just as he was speaking, Captain Jiao narrowed his eyes: "Sir, do you think the river is on fire?"

Magistrate Luo immediately looked around and saw that the river was blazing with flames and was in chaos, as if it was their fleet.

This movement was also noticed by others. Zhang Captou felt that the opportunity to make a meritorious service had come, and immediately knelt down in front of Magistrate Luo:

"Sir, it seems that robbers are hijacking the ship. I would like to ask your permission to lead people to clean it up."

Magistrate Luo was still thinking about the cause of the matter and how to deal with it. If he sent someone there, no matter whether he could save the fleet or not, the existence of the fleet would be completely exposed.Once someone follows this clue to investigate, it will be a small matter if they can no longer use the fleet. It will be a big deal if they are found out about the conspiracy behind it.

As a result, such a fool appeared in public. Magistrate Luo County was unable to get off the tiger, so he could only say: "Lead the people you brought to the scene of the incident quickly, and be sure to minimize the loss!"

Lieutenant Jiao also spoke at the right time: "Commanders and soldiers, listen to the order. The gangsters are so rampant, there must be accomplices to help them. Follow me immediately to cooperate with Mr. Luo and cut off the escape route of these grassroots bandits!"

"Yes!"

With a neat shout, [-] soldiers, led by Captain Jiao, divided into several teams and spread out across the mountains and forests.

On the surface, they are cooperating with the Luo County magistrate to suppress the bandits, but in fact they are scattered outside the dark warehouse and can become a barrier to protect the dark warehouse at any time.

the other side.

It was naturally Bai Mingwei's fault that the fleet caught fire. When she heard that they had stopped moving, she expected that the other party had noticed something strange and simply set fire to the fleet, just in time to continue to attract attention.

If she hadn't heard the boatman say that the warehouse was ready, she would have chosen a safer method under the dual attention of the garrison and the Yamen officers and soldiers.

But she knew that the location of the secret warehouse had been exposed tonight. If the grain was not transported away tonight, it would be even more difficult to transport it away in the future.

A dozen ships connected for convenience also provided convenience for the fire. In a short time, the fire spread like a beast, and no ship was spared.

Everyone on the boat was smart and discovered Bai Mingwei's whereabouts when she lit the fire.

The two sides fought.

However, no one was Bai Mingwei's opponent. He knocked half of them into the water with only two whips.

As the fire became more and more intense, people still on the boat were unable to put out the fire and jumped into the river to escape.

Even if they saw the arsonist, they would not dare to climb into the sea of ​​flames to arrest him.

They could only float in the river, looking at the dark figure standing in front of the fire, and said harsh words: "Who is here?! How dare you prevent the fire from burning the boat! Do you want your life?!"

Bai Mingwei kicked away the fallen wooden frame, and then threw out the whip in his hand.

The long whip held the trees on the cliff, and with a slight exertion, she floated away from the burning ship like a ghost.

Someone in the water steadied himself and fired the crossbow mechanism at her back.

The sound of the burning fire was instantly mixed with the "whoosh" sound of dense arrow rain.

After Bai Ming stabilized his figure slightly, he rolled up his wide sleeves to remove the force of the crossbow arrows.

Then her body spun around in the air, her hand shook violently, and the crossbow arrow was reflected back.

The steward of the Xue family climbed onto the boat and prepared to escape. In an instant, thousands of arrows pierced his heart, he vomited blood, and died on the boat.

Bai Ming opened his mouth slightly and left a sentence: "The people who have a grudge against me are the Xue family. If Manager Xue gets on your boat, then I have no choice but to destroy your boat."

After saying that, Bai Mingwei threw the whip again and wrapped it around the higher branches.

Her flexible figure flashed back a few times on the cliff, and then disappeared at the top of the cliff.

Even though the sky was covered with crossbows and arrows, she wore a robe that looked like black water, but she remained completely calm!
