Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 126 See Through
After thinking for a while without any clue, both Yang Xiong and Xiang Yu shook their heads and continued on their way.

**************************
Bayin City, in a mansion not far from Ximen.

At this time, Shu Qing, Tu'er, Yingcai, Du Dun, and Na Luo all gathered here without Batu and Jin Na who went back to report.

And Jie Yi, a local businessman, stood in the hall, and everyone looked at him with doubts in their eyes.

"Is what you said true?" After a long time, Shu Qingfa, who was sitting at the top, asked.

"Second prince, the villain dare not speak nonsense! It is true, and Batu is going to attack the south gate in two days' night!" Jie Yi looked at Shu Qing without blinking.

Looking at those unspoken eyes, Shu Qing hesitated!

Just when Shu Qing was hesitating, Yingcai spoke.

"Master! I don't think this kid is wrong, but Batu may surrender to Wusun."

Seeing the swearing eagle tailor, Shu Qing asked, "Why did the general say that?"

"Marshal, do you still remember the first person to be beheaded in Bayin City?" Yingcai asked Shu Qing somewhat mysteriously.

"Remember, isn't he Batu's brother-in-law?" Shu Qing thought for a while, and immediately replied.

Shu Qing still doesn't know the direct relationship between the beheading of Batu's wife and brother and Batu's surrender to Wusun, so he looks at Yingcai and waits for his answer.

"This man is the younger brother of a concubine that Batu loves the most, and this concubine is from Wusun. I also heard that Jiutu, Batu's younger brother, traveled in Wusun in his early years. During his travels, it seemed that He has a close relationship with Wusun’s left general, Butong!" Without making Shu Qing wait too long, Yingcai quickly said what he had mastered.

"The commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in the Western Regions this time is Butong, so there is a great possibility that Batu has already committed treason!" Yingcai didn't speak, and Na Luo judged according to Yingcai's words.

Looking at Na Luo, the eagle tailor nodded.The eagle judge would not say this sentence, because there is no clear evidence yet, so in order to avoid offending Batu, the eagle judge is waiting for others to say it.Now that Na Luo, who had just become a general, said it, Eagle Tailor suddenly expressed his affection for him.

Na Luo looked at Yingcai and nodded to himself, not knowing why; but he still responded to Yingcai!

Du Dun and Tour shook their heads in secret, they both knew what Eagle Cutter was thinking a long time ago.Originally, he was waiting for Shu Qing to realize it by himself, so as not to make a mistake in the future and affect himself and others.But he didn't expect that Na Luo, a reckless man with little background in the city, would actually say it directly.

After hearing Na Luo's words, Shu Qing secretly thought that it was not unreasonable.Now that the enemy army is approaching the city, and Batu's defeat was too strange before, Shu Qing has always been suspicious.Now contacting various reasons, and someone confirmed that Shu Qing decided to arrest Batu.

"General Na Luo!" Shu Qing ordered the general immediately.

"The end is here!"

"Let you command three thousand troops, surround the city lord's mansion and arrest Batu!" Shu Qing ordered Naluo.

"The last general takes orders!" Na Luo was delighted, Shu Qing assigned the task of capturing Batu to himself, even though he had to bear great risks.But in the same way, as long as Batu is really treasonous, the credit will be great.

"General Du Dun!" Then Shu Qing continued.

"The last general is here!" Du Dun stood up and responded helplessly, now he felt how good it would be if he was tight by his side.

"Let you command [-] troops and go to the rich merchants and big households that Jie Yi said were conspiring with Batu! Take them all down!" Shu Qing looked at Du Dun and ordered in a very firm tone.

Shu Qing is not worried about others saying that he is cruel, as long as it is true, he can spread a wise image in the army by defeating the enemy's conspiracy.Moreover, you can also establish your own prestige!Thinking about it, Shu Qing felt very happy!
"General Yingcai! I will leave the city gate to you for the time being!" Then, Shu Qing said to Yingcai in a junior tone.

"The final general will live up to the commander's trust! As long as I, Yingcai, stand still, the enemy will not be able to enter Bayin City!" Seeing Shu Qing, Yingcai spoke to himself in the tone of a junior, and promised to reciprocate.

Before Shu Qing could speak, Tuer stood up and said: "The final general will also take good care of the granaries everywhere, and protect hope for the people in the city and the army!"

Seeing this, Shu Qing nodded.

Under Jie Yi's guidance, Du Dun's [-] troops divided into four groups and began to rush into the homes of wealthy businessmen and wealthy households who were listed as treasonous.

The sudden sergeant stunned the rich merchants and big households who conspired with Batu to attack and open the city gate. The whole family was arrested before they could make their soldiers and slaves resist, and before they could notify others.

When Na Luo surrounded the city lord's mansion with three thousand elite soldiers, Batu knew that things had been revealed.Hastily summoned the guards to make the last effort, trying to break out of the siege and escape from Bayin City!
After the battle, all the soldiers under Batu's command were killed.Batu was also seriously injured and was caught by Naluo.

Hearing that things went well, Shu Qing ordered his subordinates to interrogate wealthy businessmen and big households.The result was just as Jie Yi said, Shu Qing was furious and ordered the homes of those traitors to be confiscated.

Seeing that the matter has come to this point, Batu will tell the whole plan.In the end, he begged Shu Qing to keep his youngest son alive.

"I can save your son's life, as long as you let your younger brother and your troops attack the camp of the Allied Forces in the Western Regions two nights later! You must also cooperate with me to lead Butong into the city. By then, not only your little brother Son, all three of your sons can survive! Are you willing?" Seeing Batu begging himself to leave his blood, Shu Qing pondered and seduced him.

He was very happy to hear that he could keep his three sons and leave his bloodline to his family, Batu.He immediately agreed: "Sin will be willing!"

"Okay!" Shu Qing yelled, signaling to the left and right to untie Batu and watch him write the letter.

Under the supervision of Shu Qing, Batu will be sent under house arrest in an empty room after the letter written by Shu Qing is passed on by flying pigeons.

After ransacking the house for statistics, Tuer found Shu Qing in the City Lord's Mansion and reported: "Master! These people actually left a lot of food, and this time they got more food than the granary!"

Shu Qing said coldly, "Hmph!", and said, "The food and grass alone is enough to make their entire clan be beheaded!"

"Temporarily lock them up! Three days later, I will supervise and kill them myself!" Shu Qing ordered Du Dun behind him after speaking.

"Yes!" Du Dun, who received the solution, saluted and withdrew.

***********************************
Just when Shu Qing was dealing with the rich businessmen and big households in the city, Jiutu outside the city also received a carrier pigeon from Batu.

Looking at Batu's instructions in the letter, Jiutu was really confused.But Jiutu, who always followed Batu's orders, decided to carry out his brother's orders without any hesitation.
