One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 189

The eldest son county government office.

Meng Siqu has controlled the entire county government.

"Report-"

Suddenly, two ragged men hurried in from the gate of the county government office.

"My lord, it's the brother I arranged to carry out surveillance missions at the gate of the city." Pei Ji said to Qin Yi after glancing at the two of them.

"Let them come over." Qin Yi nodded.

The two walked up to Qin Yi, and one of them cupped his hands to Qin Yi and said: "Master, a group of soldiers at the city gate found a fire in the county office and wanted to rush over to reinforce it, but they were stopped by the brothers."

Qin Yi was shocked. According to the plan, a total of two hundred people from Mengsiqu sneaked into Changzi County. 100 of them were responsible for capturing the county government office, and the other 100 were responsible for monitoring the city gate.If a battle broke out at the city gate, it would be difficult to stop the enemy with just a hundred people.

"How's the battle going?" Qin Yi asked quickly.

"Brothers fought very hard. Fortunately, Captain Xu led his troops to arrive in time, cooperated with our troops, and took down the west city gate in a short while."

"Gong Ming came too timely!" Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then how is the enemy's movement now?"

The man said: "A lot of enemy troops are rushing to the west city gate. The county captain Xu didn't know the situation of the county government, so he ordered the two of us to come and investigate."

"What can Gongming explain?"

"Lieutenant Xu said that if the progress of the county magistrate and Zhao county magistrate is unfavorable, please evacuate the county immediately. We have few soldiers, so I'm afraid we won't be able to last long."

Qin Yi heard the words, and knew that this was the critical moment.Xu Huang has already controlled the west city gate, but the enemy troops from other places are also rushing to the west city gate. Xu Huang only has five or six hundred troops, and there are more than 1000 people in Changzi County at this time. Once the battle is stalemate, it is very likely that our side will win To lose.

"Who is in command of the enemy army?" Qin Yi suddenly thought of this question.Ordinarily, when the eldest son county was attacked, someone should come to the county government office to report the news, but in fact, no one from the enemy army came to the county government office.

"Xu County Lieutenant interrogated the prisoners and learned that the person responsible for commanding the city defense was named Yan Rou."

"Yan Rou? No wonder he was not caught in the county government. It turned out that this guy was sent by Qiu Xi to guard the city." Qin Yi suddenly realized that it made sense. , it seems that the two have a division of labor, Qiu Xi is in charge of dealing with me, and Yan Rou is in charge of guarding the city to prevent accidents.

At this time, Zhao Yun had already led fifty fierce soldiers to move Qiu Xi's body to the carriage.

Qin Yi didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered Zhao Yun to go to the west gate.

Zhao Yun led fifty soldiers with fierce singing, caught up with the carriage, and carried Qiu Xi's body out of the county government office.

Qin Yi has already done what can be done, and now he can only wait for news.Ordinarily, Qin Yi's safest course of action at this time is to withdraw from the county government office with the men with Meng Siqu, and go to join Xu Huang first.At that time, it will be easy to advance and retreat.

However, Qin Yi believed that Qiu Xi was dead, and since Zhao Yun took Qiu Xi's body to join Xu Huang, he should be able to persuade the enemy to surrender.After all, Yan Rou was not an official, and all the troops guarding the city that he could command depended on Qiu Xi's authorization. Since Qiu Xi was dead, the troops guarding the city would definitely not obey Yan Rou's orders.Even if Yan Rou is unwilling to surrender, the defenders will definitely surrender without a leader.

The county government was finally occupied. Once it withdraws, the county government will lose control and chaos will inevitably occur. Even if the eldest son county is under control, all the property, account books, and classics in the county government will be lost.Unless he killed all the captives before withdrawing from the county office, but he couldn't bear it, so he decided to take a gamble.

"Yuan Shao, guard the county government well; Yuan Jian, follow me to the second hall, and meet the powerful officials and gentry of the eldest son county." Qin Yi ordered, and then took Liao Hua, who had just served him, to the second hall of the county government .

…………

The second hall has also been controlled by Meng Siqu's soldiers, and the guests who came to the banquet are running around in a hurry in the hall.Some timid people are already slumped on the seats and trembling.

With a cold face, Qin Yi walked into the second hall without saying a word.Seeing Qin Yi's arrival, the guests immediately stopped chatting and whispering, and waited for Qin Yi to deal with each other with care.

Qin Yi went straight to the main seat and sat down.Liao Hua stood behind him holding a sword.

"Everyone, who can explain to Qin the inside story of today's Hongmen Banquet?" Qin Yi's eyes were murderous, and he scanned the people in the hall.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak out.

"You don't even say anything? It seems that you are all colluding with Qiu Xi?" Qin Yi sneered.

With a plop, Qiu Rui suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Yi: "Qin County Magistrate Mingjian, the conspiracy to assassinate you was all done by Qiu Xi alone, and we didn't know about it. We also hope that Qin County Magistrate Spare my life!"

When the rest of the guests saw Qiu Rui like this, they all reacted and knelt on the ground immediately, confessing themselves and begging Qin Yi for mercy.

"Shut up!" Qin Yi slapped the case table, "You say you are innocent, do you believe Qin? To tell you the truth, Qiu Xi committed suicide in fear of crime. Before he died, he told Qin that , The people he invited to accompany the guests today are all his cronies. He also said that you will definitely avenge him in the future."

"Magistrate Qin, don't listen to that fellow Qiu Xi's nonsense, he just wants to drag us into the funeral!" Qiu Rui said immediately.

"Master Qiu, I don't listen to Qiu Xi, do I want to listen to you?" Qin Yi stared at Qiu Rui and asked, "You and Qiu Xi are cousins, so you must be his confidants. You Qiu Rui , the same crime as Qiu Xi!"

"No, no, County Magistrate Mingjian of Qin, although the villain and Qiu Xi are cousins, he has always bullied me, and he has taken over a lot of my property..."

"Hehe, you are so eloquent!" Qin Yi sneered, "Since you are not his confidant, why did he let you be the eldest son of the County Registrar?"

"This..." Qiu Rui was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "That's because... Because Qiu Xi fell in love with my concubine, I offered that concubine to Qiu Xi in exchange Here comes the post of master bookkeeper."

Huh?Accidentally asked about a romantic scandal?

Qin Yi raised his eyes and looked at the rest of the guests: "Is what Qiu Rui said true?"

One of the guests boldly said: "There have been rumors in the streets and alleys of Changzi County about what Master Qiu said."

"It's just a rumor, there's nothing to do." Qin Yi waved his hand.

Qiu Rui became anxious when he heard it, and immediately said: "The rumors are all true. I am really not Qiu Xi's confidant, nor have I ever conspired with him. If the county magistrate of Qin still doesn't believe it, I would like to take you to arrest Qiu Xi. All of his property was confiscated."

Copy the house?What a great idea!
"Hehe, Qiu Xi planned to murder me. Now that he is dead, Qin will not be polite to him. Even if you don't mention it to Qiu Rui, I will confiscate Qiu Xi's family property. Besides, you take me to confiscate it." Does Qiu Xi's family property prove that you have not participated in Qiu Xi's conspiracy?"

Qiu Rui hesitated for a moment, then said ruthlessly: "The villain is willing...to donate some of his family property, and only asks the county magistrate Qin to spare the villain's life."

When Qin Yi heard this, he was secretly delighted: Although this person is a villain, he is quite upright. I haven't said anything yet, but he has already guessed my intentions.
