Ni Chu

After several men in black rushed back to the courtyard, they quickly scattered around.The burning wooden sticks were blazing, making it easy for them to be spotted. They had to dispose of the small torches in their hands as soon as possible.

After a while, the bushes at the four corners of the yard ignited a fire, and the night wind stirred the flame, causing it to spread rapidly, and the flame ignited ragingly in the courtyard with pungent smoke.

"The east of the city is on fire!" Li You, who was leading the team to the east of the city, saw the fire light from afar, turned around and shouted to Qin Jun behind him: "Hurry up, put out the fire!"

After receiving Li You's order, hundreds of Qin soldiers hurriedly ran towards the east of the city. Some quick-witted officers and soldiers had faintly felt that things were not as simple as Li You said when they set off.

In a bedroom in Zhao Tong's house, Zhao Tong was lying naked on the couch, and a woman who was also naked put her head between his legs with her butt pouted. Tong Tong's skin was floating, and from time to time, she used the tip of her tongue to tease "Little Zhao Tong" who was standing upright. Every time she moved the tip of her tongue, Zhao Tong would have an uncontrollable ecstasy.

"It's on fire! It's on fire!" When Zhao Tong was entwined with the woman and he was about to mount his gun and mount his horse, there was a panicked shout from the yard.

Zhao Tong pushed away the woman next to him and jumped up, pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the sound outside the window, only to hear the sound of shouting for firefighting, chaotic footsteps, and the sound of burning vegetation everywhere outside the window. The sound of "beep, beep, beep, beep".

"Not good! That guy Li You is coming to save people!" Zhao Tong just thought for a while and shouted out of the window: "Quickly ask someone to close the door, and don't let anyone in!"

After yelling, he didn't dare to delay at all, grabbed the clothes thrown on the ground and put them on his body casually, and ran out of the door barefoot, only a naked woman with a shocked face was left sitting alone in the room. In a daze on the bed.

Zhao Tong's reaction was extremely fast, but he was still one step too late. When he rushed to the courtyard, a group of Qin troops had already poured into the courtyard.

"Young Master Zhao! There have been many robbers and bandits recently, and the law and order in various places is not good. I am leading troops to patrol the city. I did not expect to encounter a fire in your house by chance. I didn't dare to delay and led people to put out the fire. It is true that such incidents happened under the rule. This official is negligent, and I still hope Mr. Zhao Haihan!" Seeing Qin Jun rushing into the house, Zhao Tong was about to lose his temper when an official in armor came up to meet him. Said with an apologetic face.

It was none other than Li You who came over. Seeing that he behaved politely, Zhao Tong didn't want to get angry again, so he had to force a smile on his face and salute him back, saying, "Your Majesty the Sheriff stays up late at night and leads troops to patrol the city." , is indeed a role model for us, if the officials of Daqin are as diligent and diligent as the governor of the county, how can the world worry about bandits and bandits!"

Li You shook his head and smiled, and said to Zhao Tong: "Mr. In the opinion of the officials, it is better to conduct a thorough investigation, don't let Xiaoxiao's generation take advantage of the loopholes, if you hurt your son at that time, I will not be able to explain to Lord Zhao when I return to Xianyang to visit my relatives."

After all, without waiting for Zhao Tong to speak, he said to the officer following him: "Order the soldiers to search Mr. Zhao's house thoroughly, and we must find out whether the fire is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster!"

The Qin army officer who was following Li You received the order and clasped his fists in response, then turned around and organized the officers and soldiers to search the whole house thoroughly.

Xiang Ye was imprisoned in the backyard, Zhao Tong had a ghost in his heart, how dare he let the Qin army search, but before he could stop him, Li You had already pulled him aside and said: "Mr. It's disrespect to the young master, but the fire broke out in the middle of the night, so the young master didn't have some doubts? What if you offended some young people in the past, and they took advantage of the lack of precautions in the house to come and harass your mansion, and your house will not be peaceful Now, since I am in charge of Sanchuan County, how can I let Mr. Zhao be abused here? I hope Mr. Zhao will understand my difficulties!"

Li You's words of love are sincere, even though Zhao Tong knew that he was the one who set people on fire behind the scenes, he still suffered from the lack of evidence and could not attack on the spot, so he could only let the Qin army run around in the house with a bitter face. Can't think of an excuse to stop it.

After arriving in Xingyang, Zhao Tong arrested a lot of people in the city. These people were the common people who fought against Zhang Chu's army with Li You. If Li You found them, there would be more troubles. How could he be willing to have this happen? something against him.But the excuse Li You made was so high-sounding that he couldn't refuse, so he secretly gave a wink to a samurai guarding the house.

The samurai nodded slightly, and walked towards the hut in the corner of the compound. When he was walking towards the hut, a group of samurai followed and walked towards that side.

The Qin army who searched Zhao Tong's residence was also very disciplined. They only searched the surrounding grass and the low houses that had not yet been demolished. As for the main house in the middle of the courtyard, they avoided it far away and did not dare to cross the thunder pond. step.

When the Qin army searched outside the hut guarded by the warriors, a group of warriors held their swords and stopped in front of them.

"Your Majesty Commander ordered me to search the entire mansion thoroughly. Could it be that you and the thieves secretly wanted to murder Young Master Zhao?" Seeing the soldiers blocking their way, an officer of the Qin Army knew that there was something tricky in the house behind the soldiers, and stepped forward. Two Steps stared coldly at the leading warrior standing facing him.

The warrior was not to be outdone, straightened his chest and said coldly: "This is a secret room, and no outsiders are strictly allowed to enter. If there is a need to search, we will go inside and search, and you don't need to worry about it."

"I still want to investigate today!" The attitude of the samurai made the officer firmer in his previous guess. He stepped forward and pressed his chest against the samurai's chest and said: "The officers and soldiers are searching for bandits. How dare you stop them? Do you want to stop them?" To disobey military orders?"

The samurai sneered twice, shrugged his shoulders and replied: "This military lord is joking, military orders are orders executed in the army, and they can only control the military lords. We are just the guards of the son's house. These are guarding warriors, and to put it bluntly, they are watchdogs, why should the military master demean himself and care about us?"

The samurai's words were obviously taunting the officer, and he was making trouble with the dog. Unexpectedly, the officer didn't think it was disobedient at all. He sneered and stretched out his hand to the samurai's shoulder, pushing the samurai back. Stumbled, followed by walking towards the low house behind the samurai.

"Whoever dares to step forward, kill without pardon!" Seeing that the officer ignored him at all, and forced his way over, the warrior suddenly panicked, and quickly drew out his dagger and pointed at the officer's back and shouted loudly.

Seeing the leader draw his sword, the rest of the warriors also drew out their swords one after another.When the warriors drew their swords, hundreds of Qin soldiers pointed their spears at their throats.The officer who broke through first turned his head and looked back, shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards the small house in front of him.

"Master Li! What's the meaning of this?" Seeing that Qin Jun ignored the soldiers and walked towards the private prison, Zhao Tong became anxious. Although he was ordered by Zhao Gao to come to Xingyang to investigate Li You, he did not arrest anyone after all. If the arrested people are discovered by Li You, I am afraid that the trouble caused this time will not be too small, so he quickly turned his face and stared at Li You angrily and asked.

Li You stared at the warriors and Qin Jun who were confronting each other in front of the row of small houses. He was already sure that there were hidden secrets hidden in the house. When Zhao Tong questioned him, he just looked at the warriors who were confronting each other expressionlessly. He and Qin Jun simply turned a deaf ear to Zhao Tong's words.

After all, there were few warriors, and they lost their freedom immediately after being controlled by the Qin army. They could only watch helplessly as the officers walked towards the house that was used as a prison.

The officer walked up to a room and kicked the door, only to hear a sound of "Peng", the door was kicked open by him, and an unpleasant smell suddenly gushed out of the dark room. The officer covered his nose and frowned and walked into the room. By the light of the torch outside, he vaguely saw a person curled up in a corner of the room.

Seeing someone in the room, the officer froze for a moment, turned around quickly, grabbed the torch from a soldier, and rushed into the dark room again.

A man with a foul smell and ripped clothes covered his eyes with his hands, looked up at him feebly, then lowered his head again, closing his eyes as if he was asleep.

"My lord, I found a person here!" Seeing someone in the room, the officer quickly retreated and shouted to Li You who was standing with Zhao Tong: "This person seems to be still alive!"

Li You originally only wanted to find Xiang Ye, but he didn't expect to find the place where Zhao Tong detained people privately by accident. He frowned, thinking to himself that the officer must have found Xiang Ye, and hurried towards the row of low rooms .

Zhao Tong followed Li You, and the private prison of the detainee was discovered. He hated his teeth itching, but he had nothing to do with Li You. After all, it was he who made a mistake this time, not Li You. If Li You took advantage of this If they take this opportunity to suppress him, I am afraid that even Zhao Gao will not be able to save him.

Li You followed the officer who found someone in the house into the house. After the two of them entered the house, more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the Qin Army came in holding torches.

More than a dozen torches lit the walls of the house red, and Li You saw a person curled up in the corner of the wall. This person was very short and skinny, obviously not the tall and burly Xiang Ye.

Li You couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He turned around and was about to walk out of the house. He suddenly stopped and turned back to the officer of the Qin army and said, "Ask some people to carry him out, and open all the doors here to see how many people are still imprisoned." Wake up!"

After Qin Jun opened up a row of houses, he found more than a dozen people in ragged clothes who were dying. After being rescued, these people lay on the ground, looking weakly at the people who rescued them with their chaotic eyes. Qin Jun.
