Su Qing wanted to know more than anyone else about Huang Hu's whereabouts.
If it weren't for the fact that the Foreign Intelligence Agency didn't have the final say, he would have had the urge to use all the strength of the Foreign Intelligence Agency to find Huang Hu.
"Then you can't go to Gongchang Mansion. Once you, captain, reveal your identity and arouse Huang Hu's vigilance, he will probably escape from Gongchang Mansion. It will be difficult to catch him in the future." Luo Zi advised.
Another person next to him also advised: "Captain, what Luo Rucai said makes sense. Why don't we go back first and bring back the news that Huang Hu may be in Gongchang Mansion, and let the superiors send people to Gongchang Mansion to check."
Seeing that the two people around him were urging her to go back to Xi'an Mansion, Su Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Go back to Xi'an Mansion!"
The three men spurred their horses again and galloped along the official road in the direction of Xi'an Mansion.
One Gongchang Mansion can rival several Fengxiang Mansion.
Unlike Fengxiang Mansion, which only has one rebel army in Wulipo, there are three rebel armies in Gongchang Mansion, one in Jiezhou, one in Huizhou, and the last one in the Anding area.
Among them, the rebel army here in Jiezhou was the most powerful, capturing Wen County and Linjiang Pass. One of the main forces stayed in Liting Town, not far from Jiezhou City.
There are about a thousand rebel troops stationed in Liting Town. The leader is Zhang Xianzhong, who came to Gongchang Mansion from Fengxiang Mansion. However, he was afraid that the tiger-character flag would come to his door, so he changed his name to Zhang Nanzhong. , take half of each word "Xianzhong".
It's not that he doesn't want to leave Shaanxi, but the fact is that the land of Shaanxi has long been in dire straits, and it is fertile ground for rebellion. If he leaves Shaanxi, whether he goes to Henan or Huguang and Sichuan, it will be difficult for him to have such an opportunity again.
And he set a goal for himself. As long as he accumulated a certain strength in Shaanxi, he would immediately enter Sichuan to avoid the limelight of the Tiger Flag.
Therefore, he chose Jiezhou, the place closest to Sichuan, so that he could easily lead his troops to hide in Sichuan in the future.
Liting Town is not that big, there is only one restaurant in the town.
After Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to occupy Liting Town, this restaurant became his daily place to eat and drink.
"Get out, get out, get out, get out of here, we're closed today."
A group of rebel soldiers surrounded the restaurant from the outside, and one of the rebel leaders drove away the guests who were dining in the restaurant.
Nowadays, the rebels in Liting Town have the final say. The dining guests dared not provoke the rebels. They didn't even bother to settle the accounts and fled from the inn one after another.
"Shopkeeper, prepare a private room. Our general will be having dinner at your place soon. I remember that the chicken I had last time was good. Remember to order a few more." The leader of the rebel army told the shopkeeper behind him across the counter.
The restaurant manager looked bitter.
Since the rebels arrived in Liting Town, their restaurant has been doing business at a loss every day, and it cannot close its doors. The rebels have threatened to keep it open every day.
"What? Not happy?" The little leader of the rebel army dropped the bag on the counter with a clang.
The restaurant owner trembled with fright and said with a wry smile: "It's not that I don't want to prepare chickens, it's just that there are no chickens in the town. Even if the kitchen wants to prepare chickens, there are no chickens to use."
Rebels sounds nice, but another name is bandits.
Since Zhang Xianzhong led the rebels to take over Liting Town, the people here have suffered a lot. Basically, everything that can be eaten in their homes has been looted. Even the big yellow dog that looks after the house has not been spared and has become a victim of the rebels. of meat.
"Damn it, what's there to eat? I think you just don't want to do it." The rebel leader pulled out the knife from the scabbard and placed it on the shopkeeper's neck.
The restaurant owner was so frightened that he trembled, his legs kept trembling, and he begged: "General, have mercy on me, general, have mercy on me, I really can't get the chicken out. If you don't believe me, you can go to the kitchen and see for yourself."
The restaurant only had some food left because Zhang Xianzhong often ate here. Unlike other people in the town, they could only eat gruel with the rebels and barely survive.
As for the big families in the town, it was even worse. On the first day the rebels entered the town, all the big families in the town were robbed. Almost no men, old and weak were left, and the young women were also harmed by the rebels.
"Go to the back kitchen and have a look." The leader of the rebel army asked a person next to him to go to the back kitchen. Then he threatened the restaurant owner behind the counter, "If I find out that you dare to lie to me, I will kill you immediately." .”
"I don't dare, I definitely don't dare." A layer of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the restaurant owner, and he carefully wiped it off with his sleeves.
Not long after, the rebel soldiers who went to check on the situation in the kitchen came back and said, "There is only a little grain and a few vegetables in the kitchen."
Hearing this, the rebel leader took the knife away from the restaurant owner's neck, put it back into its sheath, and said to his subordinates: "Bring back a piece of meat and two jars of wine."
The rebel soldiers next to him agreed and ran away from the restaurant.
"The meat will be sent back soon. Prepare your meal. If our general is not satisfied with the meal, watch your head." The rebel leader said threateningly.
"Don't worry, General. I will definitely tell the chefs to serve General Zhang to the best of their ability." The restaurant owner assured him repeatedly.
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong came in from outside with a few people.
The young leader of the rebel army at the counter hurriedly came up to greet him and said respectfully: "Ya Jian is ready. General, do you want to find some girls to serve you?"
"Brothers are here to drink, and they are not crazy girls. If you want any girls, go and take me to the private room." Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand to stop the other party's idea of finding a woman to serve him.
The little leader of the rebel army turned to the shopkeeper behind the counter and scolded: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and take our general upstairs."
The restaurant is a two-story wooden building with a lobby downstairs, where ordinary diners eat, and private rooms upstairs.
The restaurant owner did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly ran out from behind the counter, personally accompanied Zhang Xianzhong and others, and took them to the private room upstairs.
Just when Zhang Xianzhong entered the restaurant, at a corner not far from the restaurant, there were two diners who had been kicked out of the restaurant not long ago.
"Did you see it clearly? Is it Huang Hu?" one of the diners asked in a low voice to the people around him.
Another person said with a gloomy face: "Yes, it's Huang Hu. I know this person turned into ashes."
Raising a livestock, planting a few acres of land, and having an aunt at home, in his opinion, such a life is very beautiful.
"I would like to ask Special Envoy Su, can you tell me in detail about being an official under the Tiger Character Banner? Can a small official also become a county magistrate?" Xu Xiucai was very interested in how to serve as an official in the place under the Tiger Character Banner.
