Bright Spring

Along the road by the side of the mountain, everyone walked for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly someone reported: "Two escaped people slipped down the cliff and fell to their deaths!"

After hearing this, Hu Wei felt a "thump" in his heart, and regardless of the soreness in his legs, he gritted his teeth and accelerated his pace to move forward.

When he came to the place where the accident happened, Hu Wei first saw a few slip marks on the road; this section of the road sloped slightly downward, and it seemed that the person who fell to his death slipped down carelessly in a hurry.Several sergeants were putting ropes down, preparing to send people to climb down to find the corpse.

Another sergeant said: "There are still footprints to the north, but there are Zhao Baihu's men and horses, and they must have already gone up the mountain. The rest of the people can't escape!"

Hu Wei didn't go any further, waiting here, he wanted to see who the corpse was.

The sergeants struggled for a long time.First a thick hemp rope was put down, and then a sergeant tied the rope around his waist and asked the soldiers above to pull it. Then the sergeant slowly climbed down the stone wall along the first hemp rope and pedaled.

When the sergeant reached the bottom of the stone wall, he tied the corpse with a hemp rope and asked the people above to drag it up.

Hu's hands trembled a little, and he took a handkerchief and wiped the blood and mud on the corpse's face.He suddenly felt his legs go limp, and felt dizzy from the shock, and almost fell off the cliff himself.Hu Wei's face was pale for a while, and red for a while, and his expression was very complicated.

"Who does Officer Hu recognize this person?" Chen Dachui asked curiously.Duan Yang next to him also stared at Hu Wei's face expectantly.

Hu Min didn't answer, not even a sound.

The second one pulled up was the body of a boy, probably only seven or eight years old.Hu Wei went up to look, and showed surprise again, but this time his reaction was not as strong as before, after all, he had already made some preparations in his heart.

Duan Yang couldn't help asking: "Who are these two people, should they be the ones Mr. Hu is looking for?"

Hu Wei still didn't answer.After a while, he said: "Only those who have won the capital can 'recognize'."

An uncontrollable smile appeared on Duan Yang's face...

The emperor sent Hu Wei to look for Emperor Jianwen, how could he send someone who had never met Emperor Jianwen?Hu Yi did know them, but he originally wanted to catch them alive, but now that they are dead, he dare not speak up!

At this time, a young general said: "If you want to transport the corpse back to the capital, it will take thousands of miles, and the corpse will have turned into a pile of rotting flesh."

Hu Wei gradually calmed down, and he said: "You can ask the capital to send someone to Dali."

Chen Dachui said: "Then we have to try to preserve the dead, and put them in the ice." He said and looked up at the white mountain.

Hu Yan followed his gaze and understood what Chen Dachui meant.At this point, Cangshan Mountain is covered with snow all the year round, and dripping water turns into ice. You can send people to find a way to detour up the mountain, turn the water into ice on the mountain, and then transport the ice down.

"Maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome." Hu Wei thought for a while and said, "Someone in Dali City should have stored ice cubes."

In any city, there are always some rich and noble families who have accumulated a lot of wealth.Hu Wei has seen the luxury of the rich and powerful; as long as there is ice and snow in this place, even envoys in midsummer will definitely be able to find ice!

Hu Wei immediately said: "Immediately send people to Dali City to find the ice cellar, and after finding it, requisition it, and send troops to guard it!"

Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said, "I will make arrangements immediately."

After a while, a Jinyiwei sergeant came from the north, found Hu Wei, and said, "The man who ran north has been caught."

"How many, did you catch any alive?" Hu Wei asked.

The Jinyiwei sergeant clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "There is only one, and he survived. The man fled north and ran into people from Zhao Baihu. The man was desperate, so he wanted to jump off the cliff to commit suicide, but unexpectedly the land below was soft mud. He didn't fall to his death but passed out. Then Zhao Baihu arrested him and sent him down the mountain by the north road."

Hu Yan stared and said: "Then how can Zhao Baihu take people away privately, I haven't seen anyone yet!"

The Jinyiwei sergeant frowned and said, "There are all their people over there, and the younger ones can't help it."

Hu Yan asked again: "What does it look like?"

The sergeant of Jin Yiwei shook his head and said, "I didn't see the face clearly, I saw that they caught a man. The man woke up after being caught, and shouted a few times. The little one could hear clearly, it was the accent from Nanjing."

Hu Wei thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, anyway, they are the guards of the King of Han, so we have to hand him over to the King of Han. After we return to Kunming City, we will ask the King of Han for the important person."

The Jinyiwei sergeant clasped his fists and said, "Officer Hu Ke is right."

Chapter 253

All the soldiers went down the mountain with a well-covered felt cart.On the way, a sergeant came to report that Duan Baoji was no longer in her mansion in the city, or had run away!

A general asked if Duan Baoji's mansion should be sealed up.Hu Wei pondered for a while, then stopped and said: "It is said that Duan Baoji's son-in-law is the commander-in-chief of Dali, and he is still in office at this time. Let's not act rashly, and beware of accidents."

Chen Dachui, the military guard of the palace, thought it was right after hearing this.

At this time, the tower of Dali City was faintly visible, and several people around looked up at the city, and fell silent.Chen Dachui whispered uneasy: "I heard that Dali is the territory of the Mu family. If we put the corpse in Dali city, nothing will happen again?"

Hu Wei pondered and said: "Probably not, the Dali Mansion has long since been converted from the native land to the brigade, and they are all exile officials. Only the general soldier of Dali is not reassuring... But we can't move him as the chief soldier, even the Dusi, we can't just go straight Take away his military power; unless the Ministry of War can let him hand over his military power with just a single official document."

As soon as the words were finished, a military general rode over from the city, saw Chen Dachui and said, "Du Sigang has sent another military order, ordering Xu Tao, the commander-in-chief of Dali, to go to Kunming City to report on his duties!"

After hearing this, Hu Wei immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "It must be the intention of the King of Han. I didn't expect that the King of Han would never leave Kunming City, but he thought it very carefully."

……

Zhu Gaoxu was in the Palace of the King of Han in Kunming City, and he really didn't even take a step out of the door these days.However, he is probably the first person to know what happened in Dali; the post road has been occupied by the royal guards.

Chen Dachui was the first to return to Kunming City. He led a team of people to escort the survivors captured by Diancang Mountain and Duan Yang back to Hanwang Mansion.Most of the guards sent to Dali still stayed in Dali City, guarding the two corpses together with Hu Wei.

In the main hall of the Chengyun Hall, Chen Dachui was very close. He stood beside Zhu Gaoxu and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Baihu caught the victim, and he seemed to be someone close to the deceased; Hu Wei asked Zhao Baihu for someone important, but he didn't give... But Baihu asked me to send him back to Hanwang Mansion as soon as possible, he said that none of our people had seen Emperor Jianwen, so we couldn't confirm his identity, but fortunately there is a living mouth, the prince may be able to ask the truth from that living mouth."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu praised: "I didn't expect that Zhao Baihu, the groom, is quite clever." Zhao Ping was a sergeant who took care of Zhu Gaoxu's mount at the beginning, so he said so.

Chen Dachui said calmly, "That guy Zhao Baihu has a lot of eyes."

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Chen Dachui, smiled noncommittally.

Chen Dachui quickly took out some burnt papers, and proudly claimed the credit: "I was in the Lanfeng Temple, and found something was burning, so I quickly put away the leftovers. Officer Hu also came to grab them, but The big pieces of paper were all taken by me first!"

Zhu Gaoxu turned over for a while, and also praised Chen Dachui for his wit.

"Where is the living?" Zhu Gaoxu asked without raising his head.In his opinion, living people are probably more valuable than these scraps of paper in front of him.

Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said, "I'll go and bring it here!"

"Wait." Zhu Gaoxu looked back at the bright doors and windows of the main hall on the left and right, and said, "There is a small courtyard behind the study on the east side, and the gallery there should be more hidden."

Chen Dachui said: "The general understands."

Zhu Gaoxu stood up, walked out from the side door of the front hall, and walked straight to the east.The eunuch Huang Gou and a few others followed, but Zhu Gaoxu stopped them.He entered from the narrow passage next to the study and came to a small yard.

Here is like a patio, a small open space surrounded by the surrounding corridors; a few trees are planted inside, and it looks like a yard.The Hanwang Mansion was newly built, and those few trees were still small trees, which had just been planted for about a year.

Zhu Gaoxu walked into a larger gallery room, found a chair and sat down.Not long after, Chen Dachui and others escorted a man in.

The man was tightly bound in all kinds of ways, and his mouth was still stuffed with cloth.Chen Dachui said: "When Zhao Baihu caught this guy, he wanted to jump off the cliff and commit suicide. We were afraid that he would bite his tongue, so we blocked our mouths!"

Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture: "You guys wait outside the aisle, don't let the idlers come in."

Chen Dachui clasped his fists and said, "Decree."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the man in front of him, and the man also stared at him silently.The man had a round face, thick bones, and a strong body. He seemed to be a martial artist.
