Late at night, the sound of dogs barking suddenly came from the quiet village. His subordinates were still hesitating. Song Jing made a decisive decision and coldly ordered: "Seal the village and search every house. Be sure to catch Hou Guan!"
Song Jingwei couldn't rub the dirt out of his eyes. Among the cases he dismissed, one involved an old case. Hou Guan, who was supposed to be beheaded, was not only alive and well, but also became a famous landowner from all over the country. There are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land under his name!
Not only did this person not know how to restrain himself, but he even intensified his behavior, even causing trouble for several lives and still getting away with it.
He ordered arrests, but he ran away time and time again. He would never believe it if no one informed the prisoners.
He only brought his confidants with him in tonight's arrest operation.
"Sir, it's cold. Please drink some wine to warm yourself up."
The person who handed over the wine was Fan Chang, his right-hand man Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"Drinking during office hours. If something goes wrong, you and I can't afford it. We'll wait until we catch Hou Guan and have a celebratory drink when we return to Beijing."
Fan Chang had an incomprehensible look in his eyes.
"Sir, have you ever thought about what will happen if Hou Guan is captured? I'm afraid you can't afford it..."
Song Jingwei smiled contemptuously. Many people had said this to him, but so what?
No one is above the law, unless he is unaware. Now that he has discovered the clues, he will not give up until the matter is found out!
Song Jingwei's eyes were as bright as a torch, and Fan Chang lowered his head to hide the fierceness in his eyes.
"Sir, have a sip of wine to warm yourself up, otherwise you won't be able to survive this weather."
He was woken up in the middle of the night and the village was abuzz with all kinds of yells and curses. He was a little unusual today.
Song Jing took the sake from him and said in a cold voice: "It's just this time, it won't happen next time."
He raised his head and took a sip, then handed the drink back.
Song Jingwei never ate alone, Fan Chang hesitated for a moment, took it and took a sip.
"grown ups……"
His eyes suddenly went straight, and before he fainted, he looked in disbelief at Song Jingwei, who was riding high on the horse in a calm and calm manner.
what happened……
"grown ups!"
Song He emerged from the darkness and pulled out the dagger Fan Chang had hidden under his sleeve. The sharp dagger shone with a cold light, and Song Jingwei narrowed his eyes.
"The blade is poisonous, sir, be careful!"
Is it really him?
Song Jingwei didn't expect that the person who had been informing Hou Guantong all this time was actually his most trusted subordinate. He treated him with sincerity, and he actually wanted to kill him!
"Tie up Fan Chang."
He looked down at the porcelain bottle that was warmed by his body heat in his palm. If Lian Suisui hadn't reminded him when he left the city, he wouldn't have been wary of the people around him tonight. The one who followed him out tonight was his last line. Unexpectedly, The person behind it could even win over the young minister of Dali Temple...
This case is indeed difficult.
The flickering firelight shone on the side of his face, and the night wind seemed to penetrate into his bones through the thick cotton coat. The noise suddenly stopped, and his subordinates tied up a group of people and took them out of the village.
"Sir, everyone is here!"
The leader of the group was wearing a brocade robe underneath his coarse cotton coat. He was Hou Guan who had been left behind as a bait. There was no fear on his face. He looked up at Song Jingwei provocatively, with a sneer on his lips.
"Are you Hou Guan?"
He was so superior that his subordinates knelt down under Hou Guan, but he still appointed them.
"I've known for a long time that I couldn't escape if I fell into Lord Song's hands. Lord Song mobilized the troops and personally came out of the city to catch me. I'm very honored."
On the contrary, he was a little proud.
Song Jingwei said coldly: "Take good care of him and take him back!"
On the dark official road, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, and there were many people.
Song He held a long sword in his hand and stood in front of Song Jing to protect him. His subordinates also drew their swords to guard against him. No one said a word, waiting for the sound of horse hooves to approach amidst the sound of hunting wind.
"Dare I ask if this is Master Song in front of you? The last general is Zhu Chen, the commander of Zuoye Army. I heard that Master Song was out of the city to capture the bandits, so I came here to help!"
The visitor stopped three meters away. Song Jingwei looked behind him, and the team he led stopped ten meters away to avoid suspicion.
Seems quite believable.
"grown ups……"
The arrival was a bit strange. How did they know about Song Jingwei's actions?
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Song. The city gates were being changed today. I happened to see Mr. Song leaving the city. Mr. Song occupies an important position. The security outside the city is not as good as inside. The general was afraid that Mr. Song might be tricked by Xiao Xiao, so he sent someone to inquire about Mr. Song's whereabouts. , please don’t blame Mr. Song.”
"The general only brought fifty people with him, please don't worry, Mr. Song!"
A group of people suddenly appeared in the middle of the night, but Song Jing still didn't take off his guard.
The other party showed his badge. After making sure it was correct, Song Jing relaxed and said: "Thank you, Commander Zhu. It's cold at night. I'm planning to stop and have a rest and make some tea soup for the brothers to ward off the cold. If Commander Zhu doesn't mind, , sit down and drink a bowl of tea before going on your way."
Zhu Chen smiled boldly.
"Sir Song, be careful, and we old men will enjoy the blessings..."
"Let us brothers also try the tea from Dali Temple!"
Song Jing smiled considerately and ordered his subordinates to tie the prisoners caught tonight into a bundle and throw them aside, making room for a pot to cook tea. The brewed tea was served to Zuo Ye's army first.
The subordinate looked at Zhu Chen.
Zhu Chen smiled and said: "Guests do as they please, and the host is polite. How can we not understand the rules? For the first bowl of tea, I will first pay respect to Mr. Song!"
Song Jingwei took it with a smile, took a sip of hot tea, and sighed: "You're welcome, Commander Zhu."
Seeing him drinking, Zhu Chen picked up the tea bowl and brought it to his mouth, and his subordinates dared to drink tea.
The weather was cold, and the tea in the bowl became cold after a while. Song He carried a wooden bucket to add more tea to them.
Song Jing brought a new bowl of tea and warmed his hands while talking to Zhu Chen.
"Thanks to Commander Zhu today. To be honest, Commander Zhu said that today I was almost plotted by one of my subordinates. I was worried about how to bring the traffickers back to the capital safely. Commander Zhu helped me a lot. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely help you." Say a few more good words for the commander in front of the emperor!"
On a cold night, how happy it is to drink a bowl of hot tea. Zhu Chen drank the bowl of tea while the tea soup was still cool.
"Sure, Mr. Song's words have weight. This time, the general took advantage..."
There was a huge fire in front of him, and Song Jingwei's handsome face blurred for a moment...
Mongolian sweat medicine...
Hou Guan, who was tied into rice dumplings, stared dumbly at Zuo Yejun's men and said in panic: "Song Jingwei, that is the commander of Zuoye Army. Do you dare to murder an official of the imperial court?"
Song Jing was worried that he couldn't catch Zhu Chen's pigtails. Did Zhu Chen really come to help, or did he have ulterior motives?
"Really? When did the Hou Yuanwai have an imperial official in his eyes?"
Hou Guan thought these people were here to save him?
Song Jingwei's cold eyes were filled with teasing, "Maybe he's here to ask for his life."
It might also come to take his life.
But it doesn't matter, no one has been brought down by him, just interrogate him slowly when he gets back.
A thrilling night.
I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning.
"Morning!"
She had the habit of getting up in the morning to exercise. The winter was long and it was not yet dawn outside. It was a bit early to go greet Mrs. Qin. She got up first and did a set of boxing.
"What's going on outside?"
The noise outside could be heard from several yards away, and Lian Suisui sent Xiao Tao out to take a look.
"Miss, this slave has seen Lord Song!" Xiao Tao ran back all the way, "There are many prisoners pressed down, and the people are talking about it!"
