With a shout, most of the crowd dispersed, but there were still some people gathered around, unwilling to disperse immediately. Lin Nan ignored him and took advantage of the crowd around the alley to disperse. He supported Miss Zhuang and Xiao Qing, turned around and walked into Jiufang City.
As soon as he turned around, there was an angry shout from not far behind, "That thief, don't stop yet." At the same time, another voice followed and shouted, "Get someone from Xiangyang Mansion, and the rest of the people are waiting to get away quickly."
Avoidance?
The people who originally wanted to avoid it were unwilling to avoid it after hearing this. Anyway, it¡¯s better to sit out in the open air and endure hunger, just to watch the excitement. Besides, I usually see official officials taking people, but I have never seen anyone pretending to be an official official. Today I caught up with them, so I have to take a closer look.
In the meantime, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and more than a dozen officials were already shouting on the street. They were holding hooks, lassoes, iron rulers, and chains. They looked fierce, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. A short, fat official came out of the crowd and shouted at Lin Nan's back with a solemn look on his face. He had committed a murderous crime in Tongtian. Do you still want to leave? I would like to advise you, it is better to surrender obediently. Since I have targeted you today, even if you have wings, you will never be able to escape."
Lin Nan slowly stood up, and after whispering a few words, he slowly turned around.
"A messenger from Xiangyang Prefecture?"
Lin Nan's calm and calm look made the fat catcher stunned. Seeing Lin Nan was about to leave, the fat catcher shouted, "Stop."
"Haha, there are so many of you, why are you afraid that I can do it alone?" Lin Nan smiled faintly, kept walking, and soon came to the head catcher. Lin Nan's words were half truth and half irritation, and the thought of arresting the head was the same, so he let Lin Nan go. As soon as Lin Nan was approaching, a figure suddenly flashed, and in the blink of an eye he was next to the catcher. He bent an arm and grabbed the catcher's neck.
At this moment, the rabbit was up and the falcon was down, and the surrounding government officials were shouting and shouting. The catcher was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. It was too late to resist. "Whatwhat do you want to do? Hold a government official hostage. That is a crime of beheading."
"Haha, don't panic, sir, I just want to say a few words to you." Lin Nan came close to the short and fat catcher's ear and whispered a few words. The catcher didn't listen and suddenly his eyes widened. , but the expression on his face is still doubtful. Lin Nan reached into his arms, took out a sign that had just been returned by Miss Zhuang, and waved it in front of the arrester behind his back. When the pudgy catcher saw the sign, his body suddenly became weak.
"What's your surname, sir?"
"No needno expensethe younger one's surname is Lu."
"Well, it turns out it's Chief Lu." Lin Nan's voice softened, but with a hint of irresistible strength: the matter is confidential and it is inconvenient to tell others, but this matter cannot be made public anymore. Lu Captoushould be done? "
"Yes, yes, don't worry, adults, the little ones will do it properly."
"Well, that's the best. This matter I will tell Mr. He if it's convenient in the future."
After Lin Nan finished speaking, he turned around and entered the alley. The people watching the excitement in the distance opened their eyes and ears, but they still felt like they were in a cloud and couldn't figure out what was going on. After only seeing the two whispering, Lu Baotou shouted a few words loudly, and then a group of officers picked up the bloody head and headed towards the west of the city
Lin Nan helped Ziyao and Xiaoqing back to the rental house, entered the yard and opened the door of the wing, but it was pitch dark inside with no lamp, and Old Man Qiao was obviously not in the house and not going anywhere.
Lin Nan was stunned for a moment, then entered the room, lit the oil lamp, and let the two of them in. Just as they were waiting, they heard the sound of the door outside, and then the sound of footsteps. The next moment, Old Man Qiao walked in from the outside, met Lin Nan's eyes, and surprisingly a trace of blush appeared on his face. Lin Nan was a little confused, but did not ask any questions. Later, he saw the landlord, Mrs. Li, walking in.
"Oh my God, thisthese two girlsarethey are so pretty."
Lin Nan was stunned for a moment and raised his eyes to glance at Old Man Qiao. He was confused. Li was a warm person, but they rarely met each other after moving in. Today, she was suddenly so enthusiastic and called him "Master". It seemed a little abnormal. . But Lin Nan didn't think about anything else. It was probably the relationship established by Old Man Qiao, so it was just right. Ziyao and Xiaoqing had nowhere to go for the time being, but it was a bit inconvenient to arrange it here. Li was so good, Let¡¯s try to see if we can create a separate room in her main room
As soon as Lin Nan thought of this, she told Mrs. Li her idea. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li agreed happily. She was about to take the hands of the two girls and go out. Lin Nan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop them. There were too many things that happened tonight, and they were too shocking. The two girls must have been shaken when they suddenly experienced such things. So Lin Nan sent Old Man Qiao and Mrs. Li out,After a long while of comforting words, Ziyao and Xiaoqing were sent to the door of Li's main room.
Seeing that the original house could no longer be lived in, and with the current war and chaos, and nowhere else to go, Ziyao and Xiaoqing thanked them and settled down.
After settling the two of them, Lin Nan exchanged a few words with Old Man Qiao, but did not spend the night in the room. He immediately went out to mount his horse and returned to Ping'an Inn. However, in the inn, except for the boss and the waiter who had planted a hidden stake in Fei Lingwei, none of the people in charge were there. Qiu Biao, Yu Yong, and Liu Wencai, all three of them were out of work. When Lin Nan found someone to ask, he felt relieved and a little funny at the same time. Qiu Biao and the others were very good at working vigorously and hard-working. But Lin Nan is also able to make these uncles so interested in doing one thing with all his life because he has a huge credit in front of him.
The wages of avarice is death. Many people live this way.
¡¡¡¡
In the next few days, not only Qiu Biao and the others, but all the exposed and hidden lines of Feiling Guard in Xiangyang City were mobilized at once. Go up to the three government offices, including the Chief Envoys' Department, the Inspector's Envoys' Department, and the Commander's Envoys' Department, and then go down to the Xiangyang Prefecture's Yamen, the officials' mansions, every shop on the street that can create connections, and even the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest. All around, Feiling Guards' hands were planted, keeping an eye on all suspicious objects day and night.
In addition, the Xiangyang Mansion also received two instructions from the Chief Envoy Division and the Capital Command Envoy Division. Although the two instructions came from different yamen, they said the same thing. They asked the Xiangyang Mansion to ensure that the people in the city could protect the people in the city under the current chaotic situation. To maintain order, at the same time, it is necessary to strictly investigate outsiders and severely punish illegal activities to prevent rebel spies from mixing in the crowd and instigating the people to cause chaos.
After Xiangyang Prefecture received the order, it immediately mobilized. Although there were only about thirty police officers on duty, the situation was urgent. He Changlin, the prefect of Xiangyang, issued an order. The two chief arresters, seven or eight police officers, and The remaining government officials took to the streets with great fanfare. In less than half a day, the entire city of Xiangyang was turned over. In total, there were nearly 200 people. They were simply divided according to the streets. Then they dispersed.
Qiu Biao asked the Xiangyang Prefecture to take the lead, just to maintain order among the people, strictly inspect the death defense on the surface, and set up a battle array. Therefore, the Xiangyang Prefecture acted according to this order and summoned the city foxes and rats to assist in the defense. Qiu Biao did not stop him. . Moreover, when these city foxes and community rats do things, sometimes they get twice the result with half the effort. No one is more familiar with everything in Xiangyang City than these landowners. Just in terms of recognizing strangers, they are better than many people.
In addition, although the order received by the Xiangyang Mansion came from the two divisions, Qiu Biao had an extra thought when communicating with the capital commander, Si, and did not tell the capital commander Luo Tian about the real purpose. Although several high-level personnel of Feilingwei, including Lin Nan, from Qiu Biao down, felt that Luo Tian had no problem, they had to take precautions. What's more, Luo Tian had no problem, but there was no guarantee that the people around Luo Tian would not have problems. , the matter of investigating spies is just one link after another. Once there is a slight mistake, it will lead to the whole game being lost, and all the efforts and suffering will be in vain Therefore, Qiu Biao just said to prevent the common people from doing so. There were spies mixed in, but they didn't go any further.
In addition, Qiu Biao did not mention the speculation about King Huai's army. On the one hand, war is a matter for everyone to command the envoys. Although the Feiling Guards are domineering, they cannot follow the national boundaries. If they are all in charge of the envoys in a province, they are not soft persimmons. On the other hand, the possibility of King Huai's army reuniting with Li Xian is still just a guess among them. If the guess is not accurate, wouldn't it be ridiculed by Luo Tian and others if they tell it? What's more, even if it is said, it is still unclear whether Luo Tian and others can listen. Therefore, Qiu Biao weighed it and left half of his words.
With Xiangyang Prefecture and Chenghu Sheshu sharing the burden below, the Feiling Guards' manpower became much looser. Headed by Qiu Biao, including Yu Yong, Liu Wencai and Lin Nan, each of the four led a team, divided into four groups: southeast, northwest and northwest. In this area, people began to be watched day and night.
Two days later, a large number of sentinels from the Zhongzhou Guard and the Anling Left Guard who were sent to the Dongjiang River dispersed, but nothing happened. The men and horses of Anling's right guard guarding Pagoda Temple and Huangyan have been safe and sound. Li Xian, who disappeared from the court's sight, has never been seen again since he appeared in the Yuerwa area.
Everything was very quiet, as if the bloody storm a few days ago had never existed. Only the victims who still exist around the city, and some people fall down from hunger every day, show people that the disaster is far away. Natural disasters are like this, and ** is still like this.
On the morning of the third day, there was finally new news: there was movement on the front line of the Dongjiang River.
