The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 566

Li Guopei's men had waited for a long time in Yeliu Port, their necks were sore, but they were relieved to see their general riding down the mountain slowly, with all limbs intact and safe.Everyone hurriedly asked him how he was talking with the military adviser of the Taiwan government.Li Guopei shook his head and said: "Mr. Lin is good at scheming people's hearts, taking advantage of Dai Xian's greed and boldness, Zheng Chao'er's narrow-mindedness, and the old man's carelessness and credulity... Anyway, it is not wrong to lose." The confidant said, and sighed, "The man's scheme is really clever."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and said after a while, "We all blame Dai Xian and Zheng Chao'er, those two corrupt officials."

Someone asked: "My lord, what did they say just now that we are being tricked into sending troops this time, what's going on?"

Li Guopei said: "I don't know whether I should believe this matter or not. According to what their military adviser said, our hasty dispatch of troops this time is because someone faked the prince's secret order to force Jia Cong to break with the prince."

The confidant deputy general hurriedly asked: "Who?"

Li Guopei said: "The Prince of Xining."

Everyone was stunned: "What does the prince of Xining have to do with this matter?"

Li Guopei secretly looked at the faces of the people and said: "The prince of Xining is the secret agent of Yan Wang, who believes in the Maitreya religion. Jia Cong is the descendant of the third prince of Nezha, a Taoist child. The Maitreya religion is afraid that it will promote Taoism and destroy Buddha, so it has a special plan."

No one said a word for a long time.Li Guopei casually asked a general, he smiled wryly and said: "The last general really doesn't know the truth."

Ask one more question, and the man hesitated and said, "The last general thinks...is it true?"

"Why is it true?"

"If it's fake, who can make up this word?" The humane said, "If I make it up anyway, I'm afraid I will make it up as the secret work of the king of Xining, the traitor of the king of Shu. Isn't the Maitreya religion a thing of the previous dynasty?"

One of the soldiers thought: "I have heard of Maitreya's teaching, but I disappeared not long after the founding of the dynasty."

The confidant lieutenant general said: "I don't believe such outrageous things. General, that female military adviser is lying to you."

Another asked: "My lord, what do they mean?"

Li Guopei said: "I still don't know what it means. Military division Lin got married today and invited me to have a drink in Ping'an Harbor." Wu You only gave him two choices, a prison cell or a banquet.Li Guopei's heart has loosened at this moment, he is only aggrieved by the loss, and he doesn't want to admit it for a while.

The deputy general immediately said: "How can we get married on a day of war? I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet."

The other said: "If they have malicious intentions, it will be fine to fire all the cannons."

The lieutenant general thought for a while and asked, "General, if you go to see that military advisor get married, what about the brothers?"

Li Guopei said: "Stay here."

The lieutenant general said: "Why don't you just tell them to take the brothers to have a wedding banquet together. If they are not prepared to kill the general, we will surely break through."

Li Guopei smiled bitterly and said: "The military adviser is definitely not someone who is willing to leave such loopholes, so he must be prepared."

The lieutenant general disagreed: "How can a mere woman be considered complete? Is our brother a vegetarian?"

A soldier beside him said in a daze: "General, you just said that this woman wins every time."

Li Guopei waved his hands and said, "There's no need to argue. This woman is very clever in everything. Now that we are surrounded by them, how many can we break through?"

The deputy general gritted his teeth and said: "I will die! I will fall into the woman's hands. Even if the fish dies and the net is broken, it will be a joy!" He drew out the long knife at his waist, "Brothers! Follow me if you don't want to die!" Pulling his legs, he was about to go up rush.

Li Guopei shouted: "Who dares to mess around!"

The deputy general stumbled: "General!"

Li Guopei sneered and looked at him for a long time: "I never suspected you. Today you jumped out by yourself." Ordered him to be taken down.

The lieutenant was stunned: "What is the general doing?" Before he finished speaking, Li Guopei's personal soldiers came over, wiped his shoulders, folded his arms, and pushed him to the ground.

Li Guopei glanced at him: "Don't be impatient when you work carefully." Everyone was in an uproar.Li Guopei pointed at him and said, "This person must be the king of Xining County."

"Wow—" Everyone was in a state of chaos.The lieutenant-general cried out repeatedly: "The last general doesn't recognize the king of Xining County, he only recognizes the general!"

Li Guopei snorted, "It's tied!" The soldiers took the rope and tied him up.Li Guopei said, "Even this old man just found out that she is better than Wan Zhang, where did you know that she wins every time?"

The deputy general hurriedly said: "The last general has inquired in Fuzhou, and she has defeated Zheng Chao'er several times."

"Then why didn't you tell the old man?"

The lieutenant general said: "I'm afraid it will disturb the morale of the army." As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes on the lieutenant general changed.

Li Guopei sneered, waved his hands and ordered him to go down.Sui ordered to set up camp at this port for the time being, led a dozen generals' personal soldiers, and took the bound lieutenant up the mountain together.Wu You stood under the banner waiting for him with a smile, stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Generals, welcome!" Then he told the people around him, "Bring some food and wine to Li Ying's brothers in the evening, let's get married today."

The deputy general shouted: "I'm afraid there is poison in the food and wine!"

Wu You said: "If you want the lives of these brothers, just shoot. Why waste poison? Medicine is difficult to mix." He asked casually, "Is this the secret work of the Xining County King?"

Li Guopei nodded: "I'll interrogate with General Wu later, to find out what happened."

"Okay." Wu You said, "It's best to get the evidence of the thief monk." He ordered people to take care of him, and he must not be allowed to run away or die.So he accompanied them on the horse, all the way down the mountain, and ran along the wide concrete road to Ping An Harbor.Li Guopei and the others remained silent, they were astonished at how neat the road was.

When they arrived at Ping'an Port, the banquet had already begun, and the feast was very lively.Wu You quietly pulled someone near the door and asked, "Mr. Lin, does Mr. Lin know what the military division and the others are doing?"

The man said: "Understood, I have been scolding for a long time. General Jia listened obediently, and the military adviser hid in the house."

Wu You snorted, "Cunning!" Then he led Li Guopei and others in to find a place to settle down, and said, "I'll have to accompany General Jia to drink later, so I won't accompany you first." After saying that, he slipped away.

For a while, the groom's official came out to toast, and it was the guard general who was guarding Lin Daiyu today.Li Guopei quietly asked people who he was.The man gave him a strange look: "General Jarvis!"

Li Guopei said "Oh": "So it's him! No wonder." After that, no one disturbed them, and they ate a full meal with peace of mind.Li Guopei and the others were surprised, they had never seen such an enemy general, and they were not afraid that they would run away.

After the banquet was over, there were fireworks and cannon salutes at the port, and everyone was feasting their eyes.After watching the fireworks, Wu You came to look for Li Guopei, saying that he was going to interrogate the lieutenant general.The lieutenant had people locked up in an empty room, and he didn't even miss dinner.Wu You and Li Guopei went in to watch him for a while, then ordered someone to search him.

Li Guopei wondered, "Haven't you searched it?"

Wu You said bluntly: "The guard brother also wants to eat, where is the time?"

"..." Li Guopei said after a while, "You guys are indeed a bit slack."

A soldier came forward and searched carefully for half a day, and found a Maitreya Buddha statue in his arms, which was only half the size of a thumb.Wu You smiled and asked, "General, is there anything else you want to say?"

Seeing that there was no rebuttal, the deputy general closed his eyes and said slowly: "When Maitreya comes to the world, he will eradicate your evildoers." Since then, he has not said a word.

Li Guopei had a very close personal relationship with him, he was stunned for a long time, and only heaved a long sigh.He also had no intention of pestering the Maitreya Sect or the Xining County King, so he left this person to Wu You.Wu You asked him where he would stay at night, and he wanted to go back to Yehliu Port.Wu You went to visit again and sent Li Guopei back to his own camp.

Li Guopei discussed with his confidants for three days, but still did not decide whether to surrender or not.Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "He's determined to surrender, he just wants to wait a little longer and get a better official position." It's not a big deal that so many people are stuck in Yeliu Port!Jilonggang is a big place, so Wu You arranged for them to be stationed there first.A few days later, one of Li Guopei's personal soldiers disappeared out of thin air.Li Guopei was very anxious, looking around.The leader of the pirates in Jilonggang was named Yang Heng. He ordered people to search around, and frowned, "Why did he disappear?" Then he went to ask the head of the six sects to arrest Dong Ming.

Dong Ming is the old prison official who Lin Daiyu Jarvis pried back from Zhangzhou, Fujian in the early years. Over the years, he has gradually investigated all the old cases accumulated in Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan and Guizhou.It is not a trivial matter to lose a soldier who has just surrendered for no reason.Because these Li Jun soldiers have just arrived, the barracks have not yet been built, and they are still living in the military tents.Li Guopei and other generals first had a house to live in. He was a personal soldier and should have lived with Li Guopei.It's just that the house is not big enough, so he volunteered to live in a military tent.

Dong Ming checked the soldier's account carefully, and said: "This man is a meticulous person, and everything is very appropriate."

Ask the person who saw him last.The man said: "He said he went shopping in the street market, and he changed into ordinary clothes." After a pause, "Our general sent people to the street to inquire about it, and he really came back after looking around."

Dong Ming asked, "Do you know how he got there? Which shops did he go to?" The man shook his head.Dong Mingsui took the portrait and went to the street to inquire.

After going around for a while and returning to Li Guopei's place, Dong Ming said: "I roughly guessed where this person went, but I can't find out according to my authority. I'm afraid General Yang will ask." Li Guopei hurriedly asked what was going on.Dong Ming said, "I'm afraid that you, a personal soldier, were a spy and let the people from the Security Bureau get away."

Li Guopei was startled and anxious, he didn't care to change his clothes, and went to see Yang Heng together with Dong Ming.Yang Heng didn't understand why, and said, "Master Gong Kun holds the security bureau, so I don't feel comfortable inquiring about it. Old Dong, please explain what's going on!"

Dong Ming said: "I found two brushes in the tent of the soldiers. One of them was dipped in ink, and the other was obviously used but was very clean. No matter how much you wash the brush dipped in ink, it can't be cleaned so clean. You know He didn't use this ink to dip it, so he dipped it in something else. General Li said he could write a few words, but not much. I was at the market to find out which shops he went to, and I heard that he went to the post office The gentleman at the post office also said that he asked himself to write a letter for him, and the letter was sent to his hometown of Cangzhou. I remember that most of the soldiers like General Li are from Jiangxi?"

Li Guopei said: "There are also people from other places."

Dong Mingdao: "Since this person can write a few words, he can't afford not to write a single word, and let the ghostwriter of the post office write his home address."

Li Guopei said: "His handwriting is not good-looking."

Dong Ming said, "Why did he write the envelope for the other letter?"

Li Guopei was taken aback: "Another letter?"

Dong Ming said: "The two pens in his account, the one dipped in ink is supposed to be used for writing envelopes, and the one that has not been dipped in ink is not known to be dipped in something to write secret letters. This is a pirate port, and there are often Pirates from other places come to rest and stop, and the post office must be watched by people from the Security Bureau. Someone asked Mr. to write a letter, but dropped two letters into the mailbox, which will definitely attract their attention. "

Yang Heng said: "Can't it be a letter for a friend?"

Dong Ming said: "So he left the post office safely, had lunch on the street, and went shopping for half a day. Finally, he wandered to a tavern, had a drink and then disappeared. The rest has to be asked by the Security Bureau gone."

Yang Heng said "hmm": "That's why they became suspicious and checked the letter." But he sent someone to fetch the four treasures of the study, and he himself wrote a letter to Gong Kun to inquire about it.Dong Ming stayed in Jilonggang to watch the follow-up.

A letter was sent back from Dajiala that night.Sure enough, as Dong Ming expected, the behavior of the soldier when he put the letter into the mailbox aroused the suspicion of the security bureau.If he took another letter out of his pocket openly, everyone would think that he was sending the letter for a friend.But he sneakily took out the second letter from his sleeve, put it under the one written by Mr. Xie, and threw it in, looking around to see if someone was paying attention to him.After he left, the Security Bureau took out his two letters, and saw that the handwriting he took out of his sleeve was ugly, and the recipient was a fan of the capital.A man wrote a letter to Fantou, knowing that his handwriting was not good, and there was a ghostwriter, why didn't he ask him to write it?Fentou also has some face.The people from the Security Bureau opened the letter and saw that there was a blank sheet of paper inside.So I went to the street to look for him, and caught him in a tavern.

Li Guopei produced two secret works in succession, feeling depressed in his heart.Yang Heng had no choice but to comfort him and sent him away.Nai took out the letter again, looked at it, laughed, and burned it casually.It turned out that there were still some contents in the letter that it was inconvenient to tell Li Guopei.

The lieutenant Li Guopei tied up on the day Lin Daiyu got married was not from Maitreya, but from Wan Zhang.The deputy general was ordered to pretend to be the emissary of the Maitreya sect, deliberately showing his flaws to let Li Guopei realize that he also deliberately hid the little Maitreya statue on his body.When he really worked carefully, he became a little more courageous when he saw that someone had already jacked up the tank for him.This island of Taiwan is separated from the outside world by sea, so news is hard to spread.So he wrote a letter to him and wanted to send it by the post office.Since the men who beat Li Guopei arrived, the people from the Security Bureau have been waiting at the post office, and every letter from Li Guopei's soldiers must not be let go.The soldier did not take out another letter secretly, but did so openly.Even so, he was still caught.

A few days later, Li Guopei obtained the confession of the soldier. It turned out that he was the subordinate of the king of Xining, and he only knew about Maitreya.

Seeing that the matter was over, Dong Ming wanted to go back to Dajiala.Li Guopei respected his ability and personally sent him out of the camp.Just arrived at the gate of Daying, only to see Yang Heng hurried over with two people, shouting: "Old Dong! Your son has caused trouble!"

Dong Ming was shocked: "What's wrong with Yu'er?"

Yang Heng got off his horse and gave him a thumbs up: "Dong Yu is a character, dare to play fairy dance! Now he will be sent to prison in Fujian."

Dong Ming blurted out: "Impossible!"

"He confessed himself!" Yang Heng snorted, "He is one of the masterminds."

Dong Ming hurriedly asked: "Is there any other mastermind?"

Yang Heng pointed behind him: "These two were sent by Jia Lian, you can ask yourself."

But the person in charge was smiling wryly: "Master Dong, the other mastermind is my eldest daughter."

Yang Heng was taken aback: "Minister Jia?"

Yang Heng was gloating at the side: "How can Minister Jia have that kind of free time? It's Fuer!"
