Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 103 Key Witnesses

Liu Jing hurried back to Fancheng. He was worried that Tao Zhan would be caught by Zhang Yun's men. Once Tao Zhan was caught and entered the barracks, even if he killed Zhang Yun in the end, he would not be able to undo the damage Tao Zhan might have suffered.

Liu Jing has never cared about a girl as much as today. He didn't spend much time with her, but her wit, intelligence and beauty are deeply rooted in his heart.

Although he didn't want to face some things, there was one thing he had to admit, that the reason he worked so hard to help the Tao family was not because the Tao family could give him any favors, nor was it because he had any noble morals of helping others.

Of course, it is undeniable that Liu Jing has the intention to win over the Tao family, but at this moment, it is largely because he has ulterior motives.

Liu Jing galloped on his horse and ran back to his residence after a while, got off his horse, knocked on the door hurriedly, and after a while, the door creaked open, revealing the little bun's big round eyes, "It's the young master!"

The horror in her eyes suddenly turned into joy. She opened the door and slapped her chest with joy, "I thought it was some robber who came to the door."

"Are you all right!"

As soon as Liu Jing finished speaking, he saw Tao Zhan running into the courtyard, with concern and expectation in his beautiful eyes, and Liu Jing's heart suddenly dropped in his throat.

Liu Jing nodded to her with a smile, and found that there was another little maid beside her, who was only eleven or twelve years old, similar to Xiao Baozi's age, with delicate features and obedient appearance.

"My lord, is there any news?" Tao Zhan came up and asked nervously.

"There is some news, let's go to the study to talk."

Liu Jing closed the door and walked into the study. He was slightly taken aback. He found that his study had been tidied up, and the dozen or so bamboo slips randomly placed on the table were neatly stacked. Did the eldest lady clean it up for herself?

He knew it wasn't Xiao Baozi, and he didn't allow Xiao Baozi to touch the things in his study, Liu Jing's heart felt a little hot, and the corner of his eye glanced behind him, just in time Tao Zhan walked in.

Liu Jing immediately acted nonchalantly, asked her to sit down, and the little bun served two cups of tea. Liu Jing asked Tao Zhan concerned: "I'm not here today, you didn't go out, did you?"

Tao Zhan shook his head, "I didn't go out, I asked the little bun to find Gillian."

It turned out that this maid was called Gillian, Liu glanced at the little maid standing at the door, she looked timid and timid.

"My lord, how is the situation?" Tao Zhan asked softly.

"I got the news from Youjiao today that the Tao family smuggled three hundred military crossbows and thousands of swords, and was caught by Zhang Yun's navy. Now everyone is detained in the navy's stronghold,"

"and then?"

Tao Zhan continued to ask, her expression was unusually calm, and she was not irritated at all.

Liu Jing was a little surprised by her calmness. He thought Tao Zhan would stand up and scold Zhang Yun for spitting blood, but he didn't expect her to be so calm and composed, which made Liu Jing seem to see another Tao Zhan.

A calm, rational Tao Zhan who can handle big things.

Liu Jing also calmed down, and continued: "Then I went to the state government office, found Kuai Yue, and asked him to help intercede, but there is no result for the time being."

Tao Zhan bowed his head in thought for a moment, then raised his head to look at Liu Jing, his clear eyes shone with wisdom.

"My lord, that fleet is undoubtedly the missing fleet. The mastermind should be Zhang Yun. He framed the Tao family with the purpose of extorting money from the Tao family. If so, they will not hurt me for the time being." Uncle, but the others are estimated to have been tortured and forced to record confessions, and the situation is not good for the Tao family."

Having said that, Tao Zhan sighed again, "Actually, it's very easy for them to make Second Uncle submit. As long as they catch me, Second Uncle will definitely submit."

Liu Jing blurted out, "That's why I hurried back because I was afraid that you would be taken away by them."

Tao Zhan bit his lips lightly, lowered his head shyly, a burst of sweetness surged in his heart, it turned out that he cared so much about himself, yesterday he thought he didn't care about himself.

After a while, she whispered again: "Mr. Jing, if you don't worry about my safety, I can put on makeup."

Liu Jing slapped himself heavily on the forehead. How could he forget this important matter? Tao Zhan can cover it up by making up a man. He was extremely happy and said, "Young lady should have told me earlier, so I don't have to worry so much."

Tao Zhan rolled his eyes at him, and said coquettishly, "Do you think I can't think of it? It's just that the makeup bag is in Gillian's hand, and I only found her half an hour ago. She just wanted to put on makeup and you came back."

Liu Jing was completely relieved, got up and said with a smile: "In this way, I am relieved, you stay at home obediently, I will go to inquire about the news, and find a way to rescue your second uncle first."

When Tao Zhan heard him say 'stay at home', his pretty face blushed slightly, but when he saw that he was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "My lord, wait a minute!"

Liu Jing scratched his head, "Is there anything else to explain?"

"Sit down first, I haven't finished talking yet!"

Liu Jing sat down. Seeing that he was obedient, Tao Zhan felt happy in his heart. He couldn't help but smiled, thought for a while and said: "Actually, the key to this matter lies in the attitude of Zhou Mu. It's useless for the Tao family, is the young master going to see Zhou Mu?"

Liu Jing nodded, "I want to explain this to my uncle myself."

"If your son sees Zhou Mu, you might as well tell him that the Tao family has 20 shi of grain in Yuzhang County. If Jingzhou does not persecute the Tao family, the Tao family is willing to donate the 20 shi of grain to Zhou Mu. You must listen to the slander and frame the Tao family, then the Tao family will also be burned, and it will be too late for the state shepherd to regret!"

At the end, Tao Zhan's tone became sonorous and forceful, with a decisive and resolute demeanor.

Liu Jing nodded silently, "I see."

He got up and walked towards the courtyard. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said with a smile: "Actually, don't worry. I will send a team of soldiers to guard the house. I'm not afraid of them coming hard."

Tao Zhan stared at Liu Jing, and said softly, "My lord, you have to be careful yourself."

Liu Jing took a deep look at her, turned around and strode away from the courtyard, got on his horse, and urged the horse to go towards the city gate. Watching Liu Jing walk away, Tao Zhan sighed quietly.

The little bun next to him covered his mouth with a smile, and said to her: "Actually, my son is quite gentle, if Miss Cai sees him treating you like this, she will definitely go crazy with anger."

"Oh? Could it be that your son is not gentle to her?" Tao Zhan asked pretendingly curiously.

"No! The last time Miss Cai rushed into the son's room, beat Uncle Meng, chopped things to pieces, but the master grabbed her by the arm and threw her into the yard, just like throwing a chicken and a duck. We I'm all terrified, that's the baby princess of the Cai family!"

Tao Zhan's heart welled up with interest. It turned out that there was such an interesting thing between Liu Jing and Cai Shaoyu, so what else?

She stepped forward to hold Xiao Baozi's hand, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is quite interesting, don't you want to learn makeup from me? Let's talk while learning, okay?"

"Okay!"

Little Baozi slapped his hands in joy, "We'll start now!"

. . . . . . . . . .

Liu Jing went to the barracks first, dispatched a team of soldiers to guard his house, and then went out of the city towards the pier. As soon as he arrived at the pier, he heard someone calling behind him, "Young Master Jing!"

As soon as Liu Jing turned around, he saw Li Jun riding a horse, waving to him from a distance, Liu Jing was overjoyed, turned the horse's head and rushed forward and asked, "Is there any news?"

Li Jun looked serious and nodded, "There is something important, please come with me, my lord!"

Li Jun urged his horse to go east, followed by Liu Jing, the two of them ran about seven or eight miles, one in front of the other, and came to a private house, Li Jun got off his horse, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door opened The face of a young man was revealed. Seeing that it was Li Jun, the man hurriedly opened the door.

"Master Jing, this is the house of a friend of mine."

Li Jun whispered to Liu Jing again: "My friend is working in Shuizhai Prison."

Liu Jing was surprised, is there any secret hidden in this courtyard?He looked around, followed Li Jun into the house, and walked into a hut. A pungent smell of medicine came over his face. He saw a person lying on a bed with several wounds on his neck and body that had been bandaged. The famous medical craftsman is packing up his things.

Seeing Li Jun coming in, the doctor hurriedly said: "He's fine, he'll recover after a month or two of recuperation, the medicine and prescriptions are all left, I'll take a step first, and come to me if there's anything to do."

The doctor didn't dare to stay for long, and left in a panic. Liu Jing glanced at the wounded man and asked, "Who is he?"

"He is the key person in the Tao family's case!"

Liu Jing was suddenly interested, and quickly asked, "How do you say that?"

"This person is called Wang Cheng. He and the other person are Zhang Yun'an's undercover agents in the fleet. They hid the military crossbows and swords in the cabin. In the end, they were arrested by the navy and entered the water village. They recorded their statements. Just an hour ago, Zhang Yun ordered the two of them to be killed to silence them, and the other one was killed.

And this Wang Cheng was tricked by my friend in the prison by feigning death, and then he was thrown into the river, and was rescued by the brother I arranged outside in advance. Now he is not dead, he can prove that Zhang Yun designed it Assassinate the Tao family. "

This key witness made Liu Jing overjoyed, this Li Jun is simply too capable, he can do such things.

No matter how Li Jun did it, but Liu Jing was in the dark right now, with this key witness, it was enough for Zhang Yun to go around.

"Will he testify?"

Just as Liu Jing finished asking, Wang Cheng, who was lying on the couch, said hoarsely, "I would like to testify for... Young Master Jing!"

Next to him, Li Jun added with a smile: "This man is the captain of the navy. He was once Zhang Yun's confidant. Many people know him. He pretended to be Tao guy and recorded a statement. His fingerprints were on the statement. As long as As soon as the fingerprints were checked, Zhang Yun's conspiracy was immediately exposed.

Liu Jing stepped forward and said to Wang Cheng, "If you are willing to cooperate with me to testify, I can protect your life."

At this time, Wang Cheng, who was lying on the couch, hated Zhang Yun to the core. Zhang Yun promised to give them each a hundred taels of gold and let them go home. It was precisely because he was his confidant that Wang Cheng believed Zhang Yun, but he did not expect that In the end, Zhang Yun wanted to kill them to silence them, which made Wang Chenghan feel his heart. Whether it was revenge or revenge, he wanted to expose Zhang Yun.

"I...I am willing to work for the young master!"
