Wen Zihao hugged Ye Yichen all the way, and walked north along the official road with all the policemen for almost an hour before arriving at the next county, Yunxing County.
After entering the county seat, Xu Hui led the way and directly brought everyone to an inconspicuous small inn.Several people handed over the horse to the waiter, Xu Hui explained to the waiter, and went straight into a guest room.
Several police officers followed Wen Zihao and Ye Yichen into the room.Wen Zihao put Ye Yichen on the bed, and Ye Yichen immediately yelled loudly. It sounded like he was suffering from abdominal pain, but he smiled mischievously and winked at everyone.
"Little Bai, you..." As soon as Jin Wu made a sound, Peng Yue immediately covered his mouth tightly.
Wen Zihao approached Xu Hui, and asked in a low voice, "Are the waiter and the owner of this inn reliable?"
Xu Hui said in a low voice: "Although Yunxing County is not my territory, there are occasional contacts between the two counties. The boss and Xiao Er are not talkative people, and they have known me for a long time, so they are more reliable."
Wen Zihao said: "Go down and explain to the boss and the waiter. No matter who asks, just say that we have stayed here for two nights. By the way, remind them not to reveal your real identity as a police officer. Also, go out and find a trustworthy police officer." If there is no doctor, just find a fool to come over, and then we will find another way."
Xu Hui turned around and left the room.
Seeing that they finished talking, Ye Yichen's voice gradually became quieter, and after a while, he stopped uttering any more.
Wen Zihao made a silence gesture to several people in the room, held his breath and listened quietly, but did not hear anything.He opened the window again, leaning in front of the window seemingly unintentionally, the street outside the window was noisy, even if the voice was a little lower in the house, it would not be clear from the outside.
No one in the room spoke, and Xu Hui brought in a doctor from outside when they made an appointment for a cup of tea.
The doctor was wearing a blue robe, about fifty years old, with a thin face and lively eyes.
Xu Hui led the doctor to Ye Yichen's bedside and sat down, talked about Ye Yichen's illness, and then pulled out Ye Yichen's left hand to diagnose his pulse.
Then, Xu Hui stood behind the doctor, pointed at the doctor, and shook his head at Wen Zihao.
The doctor put his finger on Ye Yichen's wrist, while Wen Zihao was sitting at the end of the bed, he put his palm on the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of Ye Yichen's foot, and rushed his internal force into Ye Yichen's acupoint.
The doctor checked the pulse, and Nianxu said: "The body is weak and the spleen is weak, and the car and horse are exhausted all day without rest, so I feel dizzy and vomiting. This little brother needs to rest for a few days. I will prescribe a prescription. Just take the medicine, take it in the morning and evening, and you will be cured within four days."
Ye Yichen kept his eyes closed, as if in a deep sleep.
Wen Zihao said: "Then there will be Doctor Lao. Xu Hui, give the doctor five taels of silver as a consultation fee. You will send the doctor back later, and bring back the medicine."
After Xu Hui sent the doctor back, he told Xiao Er to boil the medicine, entered the room and whispered to Wen Zihao: "I deliberately took a detour to look around, and no one is watching for the time being.
I did have a tail behind me, but I didn't follow up to the inn. It seems that I will ask the doctor and the inn waiter after a while. "
Wen Zihao nodded.
Xu Hui wondered, "How do you know they will follow us?"
Wen Zihao said: "Ask Xiaobai, since he started talking about dizziness, he has been pinching me all the way, reminding me to keep pretending, and even pretending to be uncomfortable in the inn room and screaming for a long time, of course I have to be careful."
Jin Wu said: "Brother Xiaobai, what's the matter with you? When you were on the mountain, you suddenly said dizzy, which scared me to death. I really thought you were sick. You and Wen Daxia acted so well. I didn't even see what was going on..."
Ye Yichen sat up from the bed at this moment, the corners of his mouth curled up showing a little complacency.He ignored Jin Wu's nagging, stood up straight, went to sit down at the round table in the room, and took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve.
"What is this?" Jin Wu's narrow eyes almost widened.
"It was the note from He Lin. When I slipped and fell by the lake, he took the opportunity to help me and slipped it into my palm secretly." Ye Yichen opened the small note while speaking, and saw A few words were written crookedly: "Take care of everyone, don't talk about it after the meeting."
"The note He Lin gave you? What is it written in? I can't understand it at all." Jin Wu scratched his head.
"So you pretended to be dizzy to scare us? You don't know that at that time, senior brother was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating, because he was afraid that you would really get sick after the bumpy road." Wen Zihao pinched Ye Yichen's cheek.
Ye Yichen was too lazy to care about these petty actions now, he broke away from Wen Zihao's hand and said, "It's urgent, and I also realized that I need to discuss another matter with you, so I had to think of a way to escape."
Peng Yue said: "Brother Xiaobai found out what?"
"I think that He Lin and Chang Le are two of the men in black that I saw in the deserted house outside Wuling County with my senior brother."
"what?"
"Really? Have you seen it clearly?"
All the detectives thought to themselves, if He Lin and Chang Le were really the men in black in the deserted house, then the thieves village must be related to the disappearance case.
"This is just my conjecture. When Eldest Brother and I fled that night, I couldn't see the face of the man in black very clearly in the light of the fire." Ye Yichen said again: "But Senior Brother, have you noticed, He Lin?" He Changle's figure is very similar to what we saw, the two men in black standing in the middle talking!"
Wen Zihao tried his best to recall for a while, and said, "If you put it this way, their figures are somewhat similar. But at that time, we couldn't see the faces of those two people at all from our perspective, so I can't be sure it's the two of them. .”
"I didn't recognize them at first, but I thought they were familiar in shape. But do you remember the man in black who spoke at that time, the one who reported to Mr. Yin? He had a horse embroidered with colored silk thread on his hem. Steed."
Wen Zihao nodded and said: "I remember when you said that. Most of the people in the room covered their faces that day. Except for the two sitting on the teacher's chair, the rest of the people were all dressed in black. Standing directly below us The man stepped forward to speak, and I could clearly see the pattern embroidered on the hem of his clothes, which turned out to be a horse."
Xu Hui interjected: "Today when He Lin received us, he first wore a purple robe with patterns embroidered on the hem of the purple robe..."
"It's a fine horse," Peng Yue said, "I don't know if that horse represents the bandit village."
"It seems that this thieves village is indeed related to the disappearance case."
"Bamboo basket." Mao Qicheng said suddenly.This Mao Qicheng rarely spoke. Although he was about the same age as Jin Wu, he was always taciturn.
Ye Yichen sighed secretly, and said: "Even Captain Mao has noticed that the arrangement of the noose and winch in the thief village is something that a group of ordinary bandits can do?
Not only is the setting exquisite, but the order of top and bottom is also very cleverly designed.The signal when going up is a hard-to-find root-colored rope, and the signal when coming down is a gong that is easier to find. If someone really comes to attack, they must find the gong first.When the gong was struck directly, the people on the top of the mountain knew that a stranger was coming.
Brother Xu, when you attacked Thief Village last time, did you already have this design in the cottage? "
Such an ingenious defensive design may not even be comparable to the Hanlan Sect that has stood in the rivers and lakes for a hundred years.
Xu Hui said with a face full of shame: "The last time our county sent arresters to attack, they only hit the mountainside where the bamboo baskets were placed. Before they could go up, they were attacked from behind by the bandits hiding in the narrow mountain paths in the thieves village. , and then had to give up."
Zhao Jin said: "When I went to that cottage today, I thought it was very strange. In the ordinary bandit den, except for the mission to rob, it should be lively at any time. Many bandits gather together. Those who drink and eat meat.
When I arrived at the thieves' cottage today, I felt that the cottage was very quiet, as if there was some kind of discipline, even quieter than the back hall of our yamen. "
"Hey, I also think it's a bit strange when you say that." Jin Wu said.
Wen Zihao said: "Looking at the three masters today, their martial arts are not weak."
Jin Wu said: "Especially that Chang Le, who is smiling, but I don't know why, but I just hate him."
Peng Yue said: "Also, these bosses all speak politely. The bandit who led us up the mountain at the foot of the mountain was a bit gangster, but when he came back from the mountain, he spoke politely."
"Good martial arts, good conversation, I think he has received some education, who would come to be a bandit?" Jin Wu looked distressed.
"Besides, these bandits don't rob houses, and don't bully men and women, it's really strange." Zhao Jin said.
"That He Lin would secretly pass a note to you, there must be something inside. Besides, don't you think that Chang Le is very strange, talking several times is aimed at us.
He was probably wary of something. "Wen Zihao said.
"Rather than saying that he is wary of us, it is better to say that he is wary of He Lin." Ye Yichen said suddenly.
"How do you say that?" Xu Hui's eyes lit up.
"Have you paid attention to the third leader, Jiang Yunteng? When the three of them were together, every time Chang Le talked, Jiang Yunteng's expression was not good. This at least shows that this Jiang Yunteng does not get along with Chang Le.
And that Chang Le actually questioned He Lin many times.He Lin said he would accompany us to see the mountain scenery, and he would accompany us; He Lin said he would put me in his room, and this Chang Le wanted to fight with him again; He Lin sent us down the mountain, and he stayed with us until the end We left; even when He Lin said he was going to change clothes, he had to ask why.
This is not something that a second-in-command should say at all. The general bandit listens to whatever the boss says. How can the boss ask for a change of clothes? "Ye Yichen said.
Xu Hui said: "You mean that the second in charge has the intention of rebellion?"
"I don't know if it's a rebellion, but at least it can be seen that he doesn't want He Lin to have individual contact with us. And Jiang Yunteng saw this matter, so he didn't give him good looks several times.
Moreover, He Lin specially wrote a small note to me sneakily, and it was obvious that he wanted to hide it from Chang Le, so these two people should be wary of each other. "Ye Yichen said.
Peng Yue said: "It's no wonder that Hero Wen was careful all the way back, even when he entered the inn. Brother Xiaobai already knew that these bandits were weird."
Ye Yichen said: "I suspect that the person who followed us was sent by Chang Le. Seeing that we were leaving suddenly, he felt suspicious. Even if he stayed with He Lin all the time, he couldn't be at ease, so he sent someone Come check it out.
Besides, it has been confirmed that the man in black in the Taihang Mountains is related to the thieves village. We had already alarmed the men in black last night, and today they swaggered to the village. It is normal for them to be suspicious. "
Wen Zihao said: "From now on, we must be careful in every action we take, and our words and deeds must be consistent with what we just said. These bandits have been stationed in Taihang Mountain for two years. With their quick thinking, they have to plant a few eyeliners in the county. It’s also very easy.”
Xu Hui immediately exchanged glances with Peng Yue: "Could it be that our county..."
"Boss Xu, even if there is one, we have to wait until we go back to investigate. From the perspective of the disappearance case alone, now we can only look for clues from this note." Peng Yue rubbed his temples, I have been running around for the past two days, and I am so tired that my temples throb and hurt.
"I don't know what He Lin wants to tell us? Why don't you just write it out? It's so messy, I don't know what it's talking about, and the words are crooked, like guessing a riddle." Jin Wu pouted and complained in a low voice. with.
"Guess fans, this is a crossword puzzle." Gu Wentao said suddenly.
"It's actually a crossword puzzle? We are all high-ranking and low-level police officers who haven't studied for a few years, and guess the crossword puzzle for us? Is this He Lin playing tricks on us?" Xu Hui said.
"Anyway, let's guess." Wen Zihao took the note: "It would be great if Zi Ang was there. That kid is a student and has a quick mind, so he must be able to guess."
"Take care of everyone, don't talk about it after the meeting."
Several big men kept looking at the small piece of paper on the table, and no one spoke for a long time.
Jin Wu covered his head and said suddenly: "Don't think about it, don't think about it, I don't want to guess what this He Lin wrote. Mr. Xu, why don't we find a teacher to take a look."
Xu Hui stretched out his finger and poked him on the head fiercely, and said: "I said that there might be someone watching in the county, if you go out with a note to inquire, then you have to tell those people in the thieves village directly, we have a note, Are there any clues in there?"
Jin Wu was poked and screamed: "Then what should I do? Now can anyone guess what it said? Anyway, I won't guess, my mind is in a mess."
Gu Wentao blushed and said: "This 'don't talk after the meeting', I think, may be a word for 'person'. Say, you can use 'word, cloud, joy' instead, don't say, that is, don't say 'cloud', remove If the cloud character is removed, the rest of the word 'hui' is the character for ren."
Everyone looked at the note and felt that what Gu Wentao said made sense.
"Hahaha, it's you, I didn't expect you to have a lot of ink in your stomach!" Peng Yue hugged Gu Wentao's shoulder.
Gu Wentao was not good at words, and even his ears were red at this time.
The policemen laughed and teased him for a few words, and then had trouble with the previous sentence.
Zhao Jindao: "Then what does the rest of the sentence mean? Take care of everyone?"
Mao Qicheng tapped the note suddenly with his finger and said, "Officer."
"What?" Zhao Jin didn't hear clearly.
Mao Qicheng picked up the brush that the doctor used to write the prescription just now, and wrote a square "official" character on the paper.
Everyone was silent for a moment, Xu Hui said: "That's right, the word 'guan' has been removed, so there is only the word 'official' left."
Wen Zihao said: "Then the combination of these two sentences is 'official person', 'official person'? What does it mean?"
Jin Wu laughed at the side and said: "'Officer', Brother Xiaobai, you are so white and tender, could it be that He Lin regards you as a little lady and wants to tease you? But even if that is the case, it is difficult to guess. It should be 'lady'! Hahahaha..."
Ye Yichen gave Jin Wu a hard look.
Xu Hui slapped Jin Wu on the back of the head, knocked out his incongruous laughter, and then muttered in his mouth: "Officer, official, official..."
Ye Yichen heard him muttering non-stop, sometimes his voice was slurred, and suddenly realized: "It's the official bank! It's not 'official person', it's 'official bank'!
He Lin was afraid that the note would fall into the hands of others, so he deliberately wrote it as an anagram. The crooked handwriting must have been written with his left hand.
And if the answer to the riddle is an official, if it is found out, it can be explained that there is a little girl who fell in love with me and wrote a note to express her heart to me, and I also have feelings for that girl, so I bring the note with me.
Anyway, the note was written with his left hand, and it didn't match his usual handwriting. Even if Chang Le was suspicious, there was no real evidence to prove that the note was written by him.
In this case, it is in line with our previous conjecture. "
Xu Hui took out the note from the pillars of the deserted house from his bosom, and put it on the round table, it said: "May [-]rd, Taihang Mountain."
"May [-]rd, Taihang Mountain, official bank! This thieves village is going to rob official bank! No wonder they are looking for someone to dig the mountain. It seems that they want to directly hide the official bank in Taihang Mountain and come back to get it after the incident is over!" Peng Yue was taken aback.
"Hush, keep your voice down." Xu Hui covered Peng Yue's mouth with one hand.
Jin Wu on the side was so surprised that he opened his mouth so much that he could stuff a duck egg directly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Jin tremblingly said: "Xu... Mr. Xu... this... this matter is too big."
Although Gu Wentao didn't speak, his face turned pale with fright.
Mao Qicheng reacted calmly, he was not very old but looked very calm.
Xu Hui frowned tightly, and said: "This is indeed a terrible thing.
Not to mention how much this batch of official money is, this news alone is not available to ordinary people.
Those of us who are fast-tracking yamen servants usually look very imposing in the county, but it is impossible to know the route and time of the official bank's escort. Maybe even the county magistrate Wei Master didn't know that the official bank passed by Taihang Mountain. However, the Thief Village may have been deployed two years ago..."
Everyone's heart tightened, and they suddenly felt that there was an undercurrent in the Dayi Dynasty, which seemed to be peaceful and peaceful on weekdays, but this undercurrent was beyond the control of these small policemen and some disciples of the martial arts sect.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, silent for a long time.
In the silence, Peng Yue suddenly grinned and said, "It's not sure if this news is true, or it might just be He Lin playing a joke on us, or the man in black is playing tricks on us.
Brother Xiaobai also said that he had seen this He Lin when he was following him a few days ago.Or this He Lin also recognized Wen Daxia or Brother Xiaobai, so he made an unfounded thing to divert our attention. "
Everyone understood what Peng Yue meant, and this issue was beyond their control.But now that things have come to this point, can it really be said to leave it alone?
Ye Yichen bit his lower lip, and glanced at Wen Zihao beside him. Wen Zihao's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.In fact, everything is indifferent to Ye Yichen, the only troublesome thing now is that the elder brother's younger brother Wen Zixu is still in the hands of the man in black.
As far as the martial arts of the big brother is concerned, although he can't be sure, but with some traps and tricks, there is still a great chance of rescuing a person from the man in black alone.Now he just wants to see how these arresters choose, and then decide how to do this matter.
Xu Hui was silent for a long time before speaking, his voice was hoarse, like the sound of sandpaper being rubbed across a table: "Thieves have hijacked a large number of people in our county, and I don't care about other things, maybe I can't.
But this incident did happen within our county. As the leader of the police in Wuling County, I cannot let these bandits endanger the Quartet in our county. Ling County is a peaceful world. "
As soon as Xu Hui said this, Jin Wu, who usually seemed the least courageous, took the lead in responding: "Okay, Xu Tou, I will listen to you. My father is a fast catcher. Although he died early, my mother said Now, the most important thing for a fast catcher is to make decisions for the neighbors in the county."
Mao Qicheng still didn't say much, just nodded heavily: "Yes."
Gu Wentao's face was flushed, and he said nervously, "I also...I want to..."
Jin Wu patted him on the shoulder, hooked him in his direction, and showed a bright smile.
Zhao Jin gritted his teeth and said, "All the brothers in the yamen are here today, I just want to say one thing, if I really have something to do, help me take care of my wife..."
"You... you all..." Peng Yue's face turned red and then turned white, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "In this case, I will follow you. My mother is getting old, Mr. Xu, please help me more in the future." ..."
Xu Hui showed a big smile, punched him on the shoulder, and said, "What are you talking about, we'll be fine."
After finishing speaking, Xu Hui turned to Wen Zihao and Ye Yichen and asked, "I don't know what you two mean..."
With a solemn expression on his square face, Wen Zihao replied, "It's a duty."
Ye Yichen's lips curled into a sneer, and he said, "In that case, let's make a good plan."
The author has something to say:
Yesterday, I received a comment from Tao Hua, saying that it would be confusing to use the names of the leader and Ye Yichen interchangeably in the article.
From this chapter onwards, they have all been changed to names.
I sincerely apologize for the trouble caused to readers before.
After entering the county seat, Xu Hui led the way and directly brought everyone to an inconspicuous small inn.Several people handed over the horse to the waiter, Xu Hui explained to the waiter, and went straight into a guest room.
Several police officers followed Wen Zihao and Ye Yichen into the room.Wen Zihao put Ye Yichen on the bed, and Ye Yichen immediately yelled loudly. It sounded like he was suffering from abdominal pain, but he smiled mischievously and winked at everyone.
"Little Bai, you..." As soon as Jin Wu made a sound, Peng Yue immediately covered his mouth tightly.
Wen Zihao approached Xu Hui, and asked in a low voice, "Are the waiter and the owner of this inn reliable?"
Xu Hui said in a low voice: "Although Yunxing County is not my territory, there are occasional contacts between the two counties. The boss and Xiao Er are not talkative people, and they have known me for a long time, so they are more reliable."
Wen Zihao said: "Go down and explain to the boss and the waiter. No matter who asks, just say that we have stayed here for two nights. By the way, remind them not to reveal your real identity as a police officer. Also, go out and find a trustworthy police officer." If there is no doctor, just find a fool to come over, and then we will find another way."
Xu Hui turned around and left the room.

Moreover, He Lin specially wrote a small note to me sneakily, and it was obvious that he wanted to hide it from Chang Le, so these two people should be wary of each other. "Ye Yichen said.
Peng Yue said: "It's no wonder that Hero Wen was careful all the way back, even when he entered the inn. Brother Xiaobai already knew that these bandits were weird."
Ye Yichen said: "I suspect that the person who followed us was sent by Chang Le. Seeing that we were leaving suddenly, he felt suspicious. Even if he stayed with He Lin all the time, he couldn't be at ease, so he sent someone Come check it out.
Besides, it has been confirmed that the man in black in the Taihang Mountains is related to the thieves village. We had already alarmed the men in black last night, and today they swaggered to the village. It is normal for them to be suspicious. "
Wen Zihao said: "From now on, we must be careful in every action we take, and our words and deeds must be consistent with what we just said. These bandits have been stationed in Taihang Mountain for two years. With their quick thinking, they have to plant a few eyeliners in the county. It’s also very easy.”
Xu Hui immediately exchanged glances with Peng Yue: "Could it be that our county..."
"Boss Xu, even if there is one, we have to wait until we go back to investigate. From the perspective of the disappearance case alone, now we can only look for clues from this note." Peng Yue rubbed his temples, I have been running around for the past two days, and I am so tired that my temples throb and hurt.
"I don't know what He Lin wants to tell us? Why don't you just write it out? It's so messy, I don't know what it's talking about, and the words are crooked, like guessing a riddle." Jin Wu pouted and complained in a low voice. with.
"Guess fans, this is a crossword puzzle." Gu Wentao said suddenly.
"It's actually a crossword puzzle? We are all high-ranking and low-level police officers who haven't studied for a few years, and guess the crossword puzzle for us? Is this He Lin playing tricks on us?" Xu Hui said.
"Anyway, let's guess." Wen Zihao took the note: "It would be great if Zi Ang was there. That kid is a student and has a quick mind, so he must be able to guess."
"Take care of everyone, don't talk about it after the meeting."
Several big men kept looking at the small piece of paper on the table, and no one spoke for a long time.
Jin Wu covered his head and said suddenly: "Don't think about it, don't think about it, I don't want to guess what this He Lin wrote. Mr. Xu, why don't we find a teacher to take a look."
Xu Hui stretched out his finger and poked him on the head fiercely, and said: "I said that there might be someone watching in the county, if you go out with a note to inquire, then you have to tell those people in the thieves village directly, we have a note, Are there any clues in there?"
Jin Wu was poked and screamed: "Then what should I do? Now can anyone guess what it said? Anyway, I won't guess, my mind is in a mess."
Gu Wentao blushed and said: "This 'don't talk after the meeting', I think, may be a word for 'person'. Say, you can use 'word, cloud, joy' instead, don't say, that is, don't say 'cloud', remove If the cloud character is removed, the rest of the word 'hui' is the character for ren."
Everyone looked at the note and felt that what Gu Wentao said made sense.
"Hahaha, it's you, I didn't expect you to have a lot of ink in your stomach!" Peng Yue hugged Gu Wentao's shoulder.
Gu Wentao was not good at words, and even his ears were red at this time.
The policemen laughed and teased him for a few words, and then had trouble with the previous sentence.
Zhao Jindao: "Then what does the rest of the sentence mean? Take care of everyone?"
Mao Qicheng tapped the note suddenly with his finger and said, "Officer."
"What?" Zhao Jin didn't hear clearly.
Mao Qicheng picked up the brush that the doctor used to write the prescription just now, and wrote a square "official" character on the paper.
Everyone was silent for a moment, Xu Hui said: "That's right, the word 'guan' has been removed, so there is only the word 'official' left."
Wen Zihao said: "Then the combination of these two sentences is 'official person', 'official person'? What does it mean?"
Jin Wu laughed at the side and said: "'Officer', Brother Xiaobai, you are so white and tender, could it be that He Lin regards you as a little lady and wants to tease you? But even if that is the case, it is difficult to guess. It should be 'lady'! Hahahaha..."
Ye Yichen gave Jin Wu a hard look.
Xu Hui slapped Jin Wu on the back of the head, knocked out his incongruous laughter, and then muttered in his mouth: "Officer, official, official..."
Ye Yichen heard him muttering non-stop, sometimes his voice was slurred, and suddenly realized: "It's the official bank! It's not 'official person', it's 'official bank'!
He Lin was afraid that the note would fall into the hands of others, so he deliberately wrote it as an anagram. The crooked handwriting must have been written with his left hand.
And if the answer to the riddle is an official, if it is found out, it can be explained that there is a little girl who fell in love with me and wrote a note to express her heart to me, and I also have feelings for that girl, so I bring the note with me.
Anyway, the note was written with his left hand, and it didn't match his usual handwriting. Even if Chang Le was suspicious, there was no real evidence to prove that the note was written by him.
In this case, it is in line with our previous conjecture. "
Xu Hui took out the note from the pillars of the deserted house from his bosom, and put it on the round table, it said: "May [-]rd, Taihang Mountain."
"May [-]rd, Taihang Mountain, official bank! This thieves village is going to rob official bank! No wonder they are looking for someone to dig the mountain. It seems that they want to directly hide the official bank in Taihang Mountain and come back to get it after the incident is over!" Peng Yue was taken aback.
"Hush, keep your voice down." Xu Hui covered Peng Yue's mouth with one hand.
Jin Wu on the side was so surprised that he opened his mouth so much that he could stuff a duck egg directly, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Zhao Jin tremblingly said: "Xu... Mr. Xu... this... this matter is too big."
Although Gu Wentao didn't speak, his face turned pale with fright.
Mao Qicheng reacted calmly, he was not very old but looked very calm.
Xu Hui frowned tightly, and said: "This is indeed a terrible thing.
Not to mention how much this batch of official money is, this news alone is not available to ordinary people.
Those of us who are fast-tracking yamen servants usually look very imposing in the county, but it is impossible to know the route and time of the official bank's escort. Maybe even the county magistrate Wei Master didn't know that the official bank passed by Taihang Mountain. However, the Thief Village may have been deployed two years ago..."
Everyone's heart tightened, and they suddenly felt that there was an undercurrent in the Dayi Dynasty, which seemed to be peaceful and peaceful on weekdays, but this undercurrent was beyond the control of these small policemen and some disciples of the martial arts sect.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, silent for a long time.
In the silence, Peng Yue suddenly grinned and said, "It's not sure if this news is true, or it might just be He Lin playing a joke on us, or the man in black is playing tricks on us.
Brother Xiaobai also said that he had seen this He Lin when he was following him a few days ago.Or this He Lin also recognized Wen Daxia or Brother Xiaobai, so he made an unfounded thing to divert our attention. "
Everyone understood what Peng Yue meant, and this issue was beyond their control.But now that things have come to this point, can it really be said to leave it alone?
Ye Yichen bit his lower lip, and glanced at Wen Zihao beside him. Wen Zihao's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.In fact, everything is indifferent to Ye Yichen, the only troublesome thing now is that the elder brother's younger brother Wen Zixu is still in the hands of the man in black.
As far as the martial arts of the big brother is concerned, although he can't be sure, but with some traps and tricks, there is still a great chance of rescuing a person from the man in black alone.Now he just wants to see how these arresters choose, and then decide how to do this matter.
Xu Hui was silent for a long time before speaking, his voice was hoarse, like the sound of sandpaper being rubbed across a table: "Thieves have hijacked a large number of people in our county, and I don't care about other things, maybe I can't.
But this incident did happen within our county. As the leader of the police in Wuling County, I cannot let these bandits endanger the Quartet in our county. Ling County is a peaceful world. "
As soon as Xu Hui said this, Jin Wu, who usually seemed the least courageous, took the lead in responding: "Okay, Xu Tou, I will listen to you. My father is a fast catcher. Although he died early, my mother said Now, the most important thing for a fast catcher is to make decisions for the neighbors in the county."
Mao Qicheng still didn't say much, just nodded heavily: "Yes."
Gu Wentao's face was flushed, and he said nervously, "I also...I want to..."
Jin Wu patted him on the shoulder, hooked him in his direction, and showed a bright smile.
Zhao Jin gritted his teeth and said, "All the brothers in the yamen are here today, I just want to say one thing, if I really have something to do, help me take care of my wife..."
"You... you all..." Peng Yue's face turned red and then turned white, he hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "In this case, I will follow you. My mother is getting old, Mr. Xu, please help me more in the future." ..."
Xu Hui showed a big smile, punched him on the shoulder, and said, "What are you talking about, we'll be fine."
After finishing speaking, Xu Hui turned to Wen Zihao and Ye Yichen and asked, "I don't know what you two mean..."
With a solemn expression on his square face, Wen Zihao replied, "It's a duty."
Ye Yichen's lips curled into a sneer, and he said, "In that case, let's make a good plan."
The author has something to say:
Yesterday, I received a comment from Tao Hua, saying that it would be confusing to use the names of the leader and Ye Yichen interchangeably in the article.
From this chapter onwards, they have all been changed to names.
I sincerely apologize for the trouble caused to readers before.
