Criminal investigation in ancient times

Three days later, the city of Youzhou was in chaos. The cause was that an old woman was thrown into prison by officers and soldiers because she told her neighbors a few rumors about the emperor's collusion with the Huns.Who would have thought that the old woman's son was also serving in the iron cavalry battalion, and when he heard that his old woman had been arrested, he was so frightened that he begged someone to intercede.

Unexpectedly, the old woman was quite old and had a brush with heart disease. She was surprised and died of illness in the prison. After the soldier knew about it, she would have died long ago and couldn't die anymore.Suddenly he was so angry that he fought with the soldiers who locked up his mother.

People fight with officers and soldiers, and soldiers fight with each other.Many soldiers are locals, and many of the common people are their relatives. Seeing the three aunts, the four aunts and the second uncle being bullied, can this soldier feel better?It doesn't matter which soldier you belong to, if you bully him in front of your own house, no one will be able to do it. At first, there were only a few people fighting, and then it turned into a group fight, and then there was a posture of fighting with a knife for [-] rounds.

I don't know who started it first and scolded them as lackeys of the Huns, and the others got angry and scolded them together, scolding those soldiers until their heads were bloody, everyone gathered together and someone shouted A cry: "I'm quitting! Guarding your city, I'm still being bullied by you!" Suddenly, the sound of unloading armor rang out.

Seeing someone remove their armor, the matter became a bit serious, and a centurion immediately went to report to the generals above. Qiu Sihai's head suddenly became hot when he heard it, and he threw the cigarette bag in his hand and said loudly: "The one who wants to remove the armor Pull them all out and beat them with two hundred army sticks! How is this different from fleeing before the battle, and it must not be tolerated."

If you say that he is also stupid, he still doesn't appease the people's hearts at this moment, and he still wants to beat those pawns, which makes other people feel chilled.These two hundred army sticks are really killing people!The first few soldiers who shouted to remove their armor discussed it, it's over!Instead of dying here, why not escape and rebel with the Zhenbei Army!Anyway, they don't want to sacrifice their lives for the dog emperor!

As soon as the words came out, dozens of other soldiers all agreed, and sneaked out of the city before waiting for the superiors to arrest people.

In the barracks outside the city, the generals were still discussing how to attack when they suddenly received rumors that some soldiers in the city had defected.

When He Zixiang heard this, "Could it be a false surrender?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter if he surrenders or not, we don't want to leave now!" Fuxing waved his palm, with disdain on his face.

Lieutenant General Li stroked his beard and said, "Let them come."

After a while, the two Youzhou soldiers who took the lead walked in.As soon as he entered the tent, he knelt down and said, "The young one is from the Northwest. He wanted to join the Zhenbei Army for a long time. Both his parents were killed by the Huns, so he will never continue to work for the dog emperor!"

The other said: "The young one is from Youzhou. My mother heard that the emperor betrayed the country and sought glory a few days ago. She talked to the neighbors a few times, but she never wanted to be arrested by the officers and soldiers. The old mother was old, and she was frightened and frightened... died of illness. I'm in prison." He wiped away his tears.

Fu Xing slapped his hands and said angrily: "This old Qiu Sihai actually did such a thing, I really look down on him!"

The other one next to them all said: "You go down first, let the commander arrange a place for them to rest, and I have something to ask you later."

The two nodded and retreated with the captain next to them.

He Zixiang rubbed his chin and said, "Are the two people's words credible?"

Vice General Yang said: "Spies have been sent to the city to find out the news, and it is estimated that it is true in all likelihood."

Fu Xing: "Ge Laozi, we should go in, beat up Qiu Sihai, and let him serve the dog emperor again."

Vice General Yang said: "Oh, Mr. Fu, please be safe and don't be impatient. Since the soldiers are already approaching the city, it is not too late. It would be best if it can be resolved peacefully. If it can't be done, talk with a knife."

After dinner, after making arrangements for the more than [-] soldiers, Vice General Yang called the soldier who claimed to be from the Northwest.

"Who is your last name, which general was in Youzhou City?"

The man knelt down and said, "The young one is called Song Baozhou, and he serves under the Xiaocai Army."

Vice General Yang stroked his beard and wondered, isn't Xiaoqi the guard guarding the city gate? "Do you know when this Xiaoqi changes shifts, and what's the weakest defense?"

Song Baozhou nodded and said: "The shifts are changed at the third quarter of Yinshi, the quarter of Sishi and the third quarter of Xushi. The defense in this matter is the weakest."

"If you send 30 people to cooperate inside and outside the city, can you open the city gate?"

Song Baozhou thought for a while and said, "If the 30 people are all good soldiers in the army, it should be fine."

Vice General Yang clapped his hands and said, "Okay! How about entrusting this matter to you?"

Song Baozhou hurriedly knelt down and said, "The military order must be completed!"

After he retreated, He Zixiang frowned and said, "General, is this person trustworthy? If he surrendered falsely, wouldn't he have exposed his plan?"

Vice General Yang said, "Major General, you don't know, no matter what this person said is true or not, we have to give it a try, the army can't afford to wait!"

That's right, with the journey and the delay of these few days, the food and grass are falling down, and if they don't get in, I'm afraid they will run out of food!Forget it, try it first, if it doesn't work, there are other ways.

On the second day, the army began to call outside the city, asking Qiu Sihai to go out to fight.

How could Qiu Sihai dare to go out, not to mention that he had been comfortable in Youzhou for more than ten years, and he felt awkward even when he got on the horse, and he couldn't hold the big knife in his hand for a long time.Forget it, be a coward and wait for the general in the court to come.

Several generals outside the city took turns to yell and scold, until the defenders on the tower turned red and thick necked, and opened their mouths to scold them back, the serious battlefield suddenly turned into a vegetable market.Zhang Rui picked up a pen in the carriage and was about to write a letter to be sent to Beijing, but just as the ink was on it, he was startled by Fu Xing's voice, and the good straw paper was dripped with ink.

In terms of scolding, the iron cavalry really can't scold these old men in the northwest. I saw them yelling dialects and making up jingles, and each paragraph rhymes quite well.Several generals clapped their hands and cheered for them, Zhang Rui covered his face and said in his heart, "Where is this going?"

Finally calmed down and wrote a letter to call Zhan Qing.

"I know you've already contacted Jingdu. Give this letter to the secret guards and ask them to send it to Zhou Yin." Zhan Qing nodded, took the letter and went out.

Zhang Rui leaned on the carriage and counted, there are still three days at most, the army will definitely take action, and the capital will definitely be in chaos by then, so be careful...

***

As soon as Xu Shi passed, the sky was completely dark, and occasionally the wind blew by, rolling up a few blades of grass and flying away in a hurry.

"Shua, Shua, Shua..." Suddenly there was a sound of clothes rubbing, and a team of more than 30 people was quietly approaching Youzhou City.

It was Song Baozhou who led the way. He was wearing black night clothes and a black cloth scarf on his face. He bowed and walked quickly.The people behind followed quickly, and in a blink of an eye they had already reached the base of the city.

Walking tens of meters to the northwest along the city wall, Song Baozhou waved his hand, and the people behind stopped, only to see him squatting at the base of the city wall and groping for a long time before pulling out the green brick!One piece, two pieces, three pieces...

After walking for a while, a hole half the height of a person was exposed. He got in first, and the others followed.Drilled over only to find that it was behind a gambling house in the city.

Song Baozhou and his camp had told him about this cave entrance, and now it has come in handy.

More than thirty people sneaked into the city of Youzhou silently!It was the time when the guard was about to change, the defense was lax, and no one thought that someone would sneak into Youzhou City!One or two soldiers on the city tower were dozing off with their weapons in their arms, and a row of soldiers at the city gate was still waiting for their shift.

Because the sky was dark, people couldn't see clearly, let alone shoot arrows. In less than half a moment, a group of soldiers at the gate of the city was taken down!

Before the army could react, Song Baozhou led more than a dozen people to the tower and opened the city gate.

The soldiers on the tower were still asleep, when they were suddenly awakened by the sound of "creaking ~~", "Swoosh!" A bunch of fireworks exploded in the sky.

"It's not good!!! The Northwest Army is attacking!!!"

Vice General Yang knows, it's done!

Immediately organize the army to attack. These days, these militant Northwest men are so anxious that their teeth itch. Now that they can finally have a good battle, they are eager to rush into Youzhou city immediately.

At this time, Qiu Sihai, who was still writing a report in the study, suddenly heard a strange noise and looked up. Why are there people setting off fireworks during the New Year and holidays?

"General, the general is not good! The Northwest Army has entered Youzhou City!!!"

Qiu Sihai hurriedly said: "What?! Impossible, how could they break through the city gate!"

The soldier who reported the letter was out of breath and said, "It's not...that the city gate was broken, but someone opened the city gate from the inside."

When Qiu Sihai heard it, his heart immediately turned cold, and he walked back and forth in the room rubbing his hands, what a good thing this is! "Come on, pass me the password, immediately organize your troops and resist the Northwest Army!" Now that you are on the sedan chair, there is no time to pierce your ears and eyes, not to mention that the Northwest Army is three times more numerous than them, and they are all brave and skilled veterans, Youzhou cavalry He was so caught off guard that he couldn't organize an effective defense at all.

When attacking the city, Fu Xing shouted loudly: "When you enter the city, you are only allowed to fight soldiers. If I see anyone harming the people in the city, I will cut him in two!"

The Northwest Army rushed into Youzhou and went straight to the barracks. When the iron cavalry hurriedly put on their armor, they all rushed into the barracks.Many people were knocked down before they could react.

Seeing this situation, Vice General Yang said loudly: "Youzhou generals, lay down your weapons and forget the past! Don't be blinded anymore, that dog emperor is not worth your life for him, follow me into the capital, and drive out this traitorous dog emperor. Throne!"

The Northwest army raised its arms and shouted, and the hearts of the soldiers in Youzhou were shocked like thunder, right, who are we working for?The emperor's child is unrighteous and has brought wolves into the house, so why help him beat his own people!Don't do it, we serve as soldiers to defend our home and country, how can we be lackeys of the Huns!

Seeing this, He Zixiang threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, and there was a crisp "bang". No one knew who threw the weapon at night, and the others followed suit after hearing about it. followed by the opposite...

When Fuxing rushed to Dutong Mansion with a few personal guards, he found that Qiu Sihai had gone somewhere!With a bah sound: "This son of a bitch, he runs fast enough!"

In the early morning of the second day, many people did not know that Youzhou had already been captured.Seeing that the guards at the city gate had changed, a group of people understood, oh, the Northwest Army has come, leaving some guard soldiers behind, and the Northwest Army left in a hurry.
