My years as a soldier

Regarding Cao Yi and his group, although Fan San didn't say many details, he knew everything that Chen Fan should know.

Fan San is also an honest person, when he was asked to report the letter, he really passed on all the news about his hometown to Chen Fan, and also very carefully presented the scene of Cao Yi threatening Li Muyun that night in front of Chen Fan Restored it again.

Originally, if someone suddenly told him such an overly detailed crime scene, Chen Fan would definitely suspect that the people in Guiyifang were fighting among themselves and using the power of the government to eradicate dissidents.But obviously, Fan San was afraid that Chen Fan would not believe his own description, so he explained the process in detail.Before leaving, he even specifically told the bad handsome man that he would commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, so he was already leaving a way out for himself.

Chen Fan has seen this kind of person a lot.Originally, he would not easily believe anything that anyone told him, but Chen Fan had seen Li Muyun before.Fan San only needed to briefly describe Li Muyun's figure and appearance, and combined with the extremely special geographical location of Dongshi, Chen Fan could guess that the abductee, eight out of ten, was undoubtedly the son of Prince Su.

After all, in the northern part of Wannian County, there are not many workshops close to Dongshi, and in this few circles of nobles, there are not many noble sons who are as weak as Li Muyun but handsome.

In Chang'an City, any case involving the royal family must be cautious and cautious.Not to mention when the world is in chaos.There were too many things on Chen Fan's mind, and any one of them would exhaust him physically and mentally.

Chen Fan didn't dare to be careless, he asked someone to follow Fan San, and he also started his own investigation here.

Bad people are naturally everywhere in Guiyi Workshop, but compared with other workshops, the number of bad people in Guiyi Workshop is very small.In the early years, there were several major cases of conflict between Guiyifang residents and bad people, and many people died on both sides.At that time, the evidence of the crime was conclusive, but the government put the case on hold on the grounds that it was too involved and difficult to investigate.

Over time, the number of unscrupulous people sent to Guiyifang has decreased year by year, so that today, Guiyifang has become a place of lawlessness that the forces of unscrupulous people cannot touch, even if there are so many bad people who still rotate I went to Guiyifang to be on duty, but in fact, those who were sent to Guiyifang were either old guys who were about to retire, or assassins who committed crimes and were assigned to reflect in the past. They were just like the gangsters in Guiyifang. respected fringe figures.

But if Chen Fan wanted to investigate Guiyifang, he had no choice.

Chen Fan had been a bad commander in Chang'an County for seven or eight years, and he already knew the various forces in Chang'an City by heart.The eyeliner of his subordinates is also spread all over Chang'an County, and Guiyifang is no exception.

After leaving Jiahuifang, Chen Fan headed straight for the Xishi government office.The West Market is the place with the largest flow of people in Chang'an County. Almost all the Hu and Han people in Chang'an will go to the West Market to buy and sell.Therefore, this place is also the most mixed place in the entire Chang'an city. Anyone can appear here, and anything can happen here.

Because of this, Chen Fan set up his base camp in the Bad People's Governance Center in the middle of the West City, because only in this place can he pass the news without anyone noticing.The plainclothes he dispatched will not attract attention only when they walk out from here.

Chen Fan first asked his subordinates to change into black clothes, and went outside Guiyifang to contact the hidden stake he had planted in the workshop several years ago.Of course, in order to protect the safety of the subordinates, the more confidential the connection, the better.All information is transmitted in secret codes, and of course the less people know the true identity of the hidden pile, the better.

After taking this first move, Chen Fan worried about the rescue again.

First of all, Prince Su's son would go out alone on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is already a strange thing among strange things. Thinking of the fact that the east side rebelled these days, Chen Fan speculated that there might be some problems inside King Su's mansion that caused the prince to leave. , the mansion is withered.

Since he was leaving, Su Wangfu definitely didn't want this matter to be publicized. Even if Chen Fan wanted to save someone, he had to ask Su Wangfu what he wanted to do.As for this matter, he couldn't have come forward alone to deal with the royal family, without bringing his immediate superior, it was obvious that he didn't understand the rules.

But since he was going to meet his boss, Chen Fan had to set up his own meeting.He immediately summoned more than a dozen bad guys who were on standby in various parts of the West City. The group dressed in black and hung horizontal knives at their waists, and marched towards the Chang'an County Government Office in a mighty manner.

Before leaving the prefecture, Chen Fan did not forget to explain to the plainclothes he was selected.

"Keep an eye on the gate of Guiyifang, but don't startle the snake by surprise."

Chen Fan led his people to the Chang'an county government in a mighty way, but Cao Yi's side was already ready to die.As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of Guiyifang, they noticed the plainclothes Chen Fan had arranged to follow at the gate.

fresh face...

The hearts of the two of them thumped again.Ding Xiaozhan took a few quick steps and moved closer to Cao Yi's ear.

"Brother Cao, this...couldn't be someone from the government?"

"Hard to say."

Cao Yi remained calm, but his right hand was unconsciously grasping the handle of the horizontal knife.

In the past, if ordinary people saw him wearing a horizontal knife, they would definitely look at him a few more times.If he meets Marquis Wu, he will be asked to show his biography to prove his identity.But at this time, the few unfamiliar faces by the gate, not only did not take a second look at him, but also seemed to be ignorant, some walked in the distance, and some sat on the stone steps of the doorpost, talking with him as if nothing had happened. People around me chatted.

Cao Yi took Ding Xiaozhan into the workshop quickly, and when the two of them turned into the alley in the workshop, Cao Yi's pace became faster and faster.

"Brother Cao, what should we do now? If the people from the government really came after us, we might as well fight them now! Just those few people, there are too many gangsters in Guiyifang, I forgive them Dare to lead troops to fight!"

Ding Xiaozhan, a skinny monkey, was jumping up and down beside Cao Yi at this time, as if he had no hesitation.But Cao Yi kept his face sombre, his hands clenched tightly on the handle of the knife at his waist, and even the blue veins were all exposed.

If Hu Jiuzhang was here, he could easily see Cao Yi's state at this time.He is worried, afraid.But what is there to be afraid of a strong veteran like him?If you want to be afraid, it has to be ordinary people like Ding Xiaozhan who are afraid.

But at this moment, Cao Yi was genuinely afraid of something, and in order to hide his inner panic, his complexion became extremely gloomy, and his frowning seemed to be able to strangle a cow.

Ding Xiaozhan was used to Cao Yi's expression, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Brother Cao, what do you think?"

"...Just you guys want to fight the officers and soldiers?" Cao Yi's voice was low, but his eyes were filled with disdain rather than worry.

"Why can't it? Besides, there is Uncle Hei's territory outside our street. They can't tolerate people from the government driving straight in like this, right?"

"You think too much about people." Cao Yi sighed lightly, "At this time, expecting people from other gangs to help is like expecting the creditor Lao Lai to take the initiative to pay back the money. Side things."

"But—" Ding Xiaozhan was not to be outdone, "Even if no one is willing to help us, the officers and soldiers may not dare to enter Guiyifang to arrest people blatantly!"

"If you don't dare to arrest them blatantly, you can't arrest them secretly? People in the government are not fools. If they want to sneak in without anyone noticing, there are many ways."

"But if we don't fight, what else can we do? This person was also robbed, and his things were also robbed. Sending him back now, isn't it too useless?"

Ding Xiaozhan looked unwilling, but Cao Yi's eyes lit up when he heard what he said.

"Xiao Zhan, this time around, the surname Wang refused to sell me face, and I'm afraid it won't work if you all escape from Chang'an safe and sound, but if only one or two people go out of the city at night, the surname Wang There might be a way out."

"Brother Cao, you mean...you and I escaped at night?" Ding Xiaozhan's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"What are you thinking!"

Cao Yi slapped Ding Xiaozhan on the head.

"I mean, I took the kidnapped son out of the city overnight. After all, the hostages are gone, and they probably won't make more troubles in Guiyifang."

"Hmm...Brother Cao, it's this time, you still think about the safety of us..." Ding Xiaozhan burst into tears again.As long as he stood with Cao Yi, his mood would fluctuate greatly, as if there was nothing worth caring about except Cao Yi in this world.

"Brother Cao, what about you? What if you are caught up by the government?" Ding Xiaozhan was worried.

"You don't have to worry about me." Speaking of himself, Cao Yi's emotions relaxed instead, "Fleeing outside Chang'an City is easier than fleeing inside the city. Besides, I still have hostages in my hands. If we really confront each other, I may not have no Advantage."

"But what if the sick young man dies of a serious illness on the way to escape?" Ding Xiaozhan's eyes were still shining with tears, but when he asked this, the expression on Cao Yi's face froze.

"Can't you think of something better?"

Cao Yi sighed helplessly, and the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the broken room where Li Muyun was imprisoned.

At night, it was another gloomy evening, a tall figure with a horizontal knife hanging on his waist drove a carriage to the southwest from Guiyifang.At this time, Chang'an City has not yet entered the curfew, but the gate of Chang'an City has already reached the time to close.

The carriage passed through the inaccessible alleys in the south of Chang'an County, and when it arrived at Yanping Gate, it was already three quarters of the unitary hour.

The big man driving the car was wearing a gray and black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly in the night.But his pair of thick big hands are particularly conspicuous under the lantern in Wuhou's hand.

"I came to say hello to you old Wang this afternoon. My younger brother is sick. I don't have much time left. I rushed him back to his hometown to see his parents for the last time." In front of the car, Cao Yi's deep voice came from under the hood of his cloak. It spread faintly.

Marquis Wu, who was guarding the gate, held a paper lantern and looked at Cao Yi from top to bottom, with a disapproving smile on his face.

"So what if I said hello? Open the door curtain, I want to check."

"My younger brother is weak and can't see the wind." Cao Yi's voice was a little hurried, but the more anxious he was, the more playful Wuhou's expression became.

"Get off!"

Marquis Wu touched Cao Yi's shoulder with the handle of the horizontal knife in his hand, but Cao Yi didn't move.Displeasure immediately appeared on Marquis Wu's face.

"Why, no inspection?"

Marquis Wu raised his voice and questioned, the voice spread wildly in the night, and could be heard from far away.

As soon as Marquis Wu's voice passed, there was silence again in front of the city gate.I don't know how long the silence lasted, but it was finally broken by Cao Yi's low voice.

"Master Jun, my brother is afraid of the wind."

Cao Yi stood up suddenly, and at some point there was a small black cloth bag the size of a palm in his hand.He leaned over and stuffed the cloth bag into the arms of Marquis Wu in front of him.

"It's work."

Only then did Marquis Wu show a trace of pleasure on his face.

"Come on!"

Marquis Wu jumped into the car with the lamp in hand, opened the door curtain, and a strong herbal smell overflowed from the car.Sure enough, the carriage was paved in the shape of a couch, and as the light flickered past, the patient's face was also clearly illuminated by the light.

But Marquis Wu didn't get into the car, so he didn't hear clearly what the people in the car said with weak breath.

The thick door curtain was once again blocked, and the sudden sound of horseshoes completely drowned out the faint voices in the car.Cao Yi threw off the rein with all his strength, and galloped through the slowly opened gap of the Yanping Gate.The carriage quickly disappeared on the wild road outside Chang'an City, and the guard Wuhou closed the city gate again.

"Hey, that old boy is quite transparent! This bag of money, the old Wang usually collects more than this!"
