Chapter 73, Taishou Encounter

Zu Zhao secretly read a few words in his heart: Xin Qiubai? Unexpectedly, his surname is Xin, which seems to be the big surname of Jizhou.

In the distance, you can also hear some slight horseshoe sounds.

Zu Ling quickly came to Zu Zhao and asked, "Sir, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd?"

Zu Zhao turned around and said slowly, "Although the black arrow thief has a deep grudge against my ancestral family, if there is no accident in the Taishou Mansion today, I can take her life. But because of such an accident in the Taishou Mansion, many of them are complicated, so we must not act hastily. Although the black arrow thief is just a female streamer, if she doesn't want to open her mouth, she can't do anything to coercive and lure. We must find another way to find out the mastermind behind this series of accidents through the black arrow thieves.

Zuling asked, "Sir, do you think there is someone behind this matter?"

Zu Zhao nodded. On the way to chase the thief, he had briefly told everyone about the incident in the Taishou Mansion, including Lu Wei's killing of Han Xi. He said, "Lv Wei can sneak into the Taishou Mansion as a inspector, and there must be extremely complex forces behind it. Xin Qiubai is just a good bower, and it is impossible to operate this matter.

At this time, Zu Ji came over and asked, "So, does the matter of Lingzhi County have anything to do with today's matter?"

Zur Ling also wanted to ask this question, and he looked at Zu Zhao with concern.

There is almost no hesitation, and Zu Zhao said with great certainty: "It's absolutely something to do with it. Don't forget that the arrested thieves in Lingzhi County said that the black arrow thieves and Hu people appeared in Lingzhi County to do a big thing. We don't know what this event is, but it is not difficult to imagine that it must be a messy hand. Secondly, at the end of the last battle in Lingzhi County, the black arrow thief escaped with the barbarians.

Zuling suddenly came over. Since Xin Qiubai fled with the Hu people, it means that her participation in today's assassination operation of the Taishou Mansion was specially arranged, not a momentary private action. He couldn't help sighing. He was a black arrow thief, a Hu man, a Lingzhi County, and a Taishou Mansion. What kind of conspiracy is this?

Zuji didn't think so much. He was most concerned about the black arrow thief, so he asked, "But, prince, now you put that Xin Qiu Bai... Anyway, it's the black arrow thief. You let people go. What should we do next?"

Zu Zhao immediately said, "Let her go just to hope that she can relax her guard. Later, we will send someone to follow along the way. Since she can still escape, she will find a way to meet her accomplices. I speculate that the assassins who attacked the Taishou Mansion today are all those with mortal hearts. It doesn't matter if they die. On the contrary, if Xin Qiubai meets other accomplices, he will have to meet the mastermind behind the scenes at present.

After listening to Zu Zhao's description, everyone immediately became enlightened.

Zu Ji immediately cheered up and laughed, "It's still a clever trick. I expected that this little woman would not let go, so I simply took a move to catch the cicada and the yellow finch behind. Hahaha."

Zuling looked at Zu Ji and shook his head and said, "What kind of mantis is catching cicadas and yellow finch? You have to study hard like the eldest son, and you must read more books in the future."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Zu Zhao and said, "Well, I would like to follow the black arrow thief."

Zu Zhao thought for a moment. Zu Ling was his uncle, and he was mostly cautious and experienced. So he nodded and said, "Well, there will be Uncle Lao Ling, but Xinqiu's white arrow method is good. Lingshu must be more careful."

Zuling arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't take it lightly."

Then, Zu Zhao briefly explained the follow-up. After all, these days have been recognized by Xin Qiubai, which is really not suitable for tracking for too long. So he asked Zuling to take only one child with him. Xin Qiubai was injured. Later, he was bound to find a place to heal the injury, and then send back a person to report the specific location. He will carefully report the matter to the Taishou Mansion and ask Liu Taishou to send other capable people to rush there and continue to follow.

The plan has been agreed. Zuling took a son to the horse and quietly followed the direction of the black arrow girl's departure.

Zu Zhao arranged for everyone to help the wounded and immediately returned to Pinggang County.

When I rushed back to the county seat of Pinggang County, I suddenly saw that the alert on the tower became more and more severe.

is the gate that just left the city, and the lights at this moment have obviously doubled. When Zu Zhao and others came from far and near, the archers on the tower all listed the posture of opening the bow. As long as the Buddha saw the person even if there was something wrong with his clothes, he would immediately greet him with arrows. Although Zu Zhao felt strange about this, after all, his party has not been out of the city for a long time since then. The guards on the tower must remember this matter. There is no need for such a big battle.

But in the final analysis, it can still be understood.

When he came to the city, before Zu Zhao could speak, the guards on the tower shouted first, "Who is coming?"

Zu Zhao replied, "We waited for the doorman of the empress to go out of the city to chase the thief. You should know why you asked more."

The guard said in a strict tone, "Now that the city is in chaos and there is an accident in the Taishou Mansion, you are not allowed to enter or leave the city at will."

Zu Zhao was a little angry and felt more and more strange. He stressed, "Am I not clear? We just went out of the city to chase the thief, and we just passed by here. If you can't speak, let your leader speak!"

The guard snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You are not qualified. Hurry up, or I will order an arrow.

Zu Ji rushed to the city building angrily and shouted, "Well, you are an old thief with no eyes. Let's help the Taishou Mansion chase the thief. At this time, someone is injured, but you won't let us enter the city!" If you have the courage, come down and fight with grandpa alone. Look at me and call you as fart.

The guard was furious: "Come on, drive away these thieves."

Seeing that something was wrong, Zu Zhao quickly said, "General Wen Chouwen, the captain in the south of the Taishou Mansion, we have obeyed his orders. Now there is important news to report to Lieutenant Wen, and he won't leave. If you dare to shoot arrows and delay me from reporting, it will be up to you later!"

When the guard heard this, he couldn't help frowning. He didn't expect that the people below could exhale the name of the southern captain Wenchou.

At this time, a soldier next to him came forward and whispered, "Your Excellency, there is indeed a team of people who went out of the city to chase the thief under the order of the Taishoufu. It seems that a thief leaped over the city wall in the west and escaped. I dare not act rashly about this matter.

The guard thought for a moment and felt that there were many complicated situations tonight, so he could only say, "Go and invite Wang to come."

The soldier immediately answered, turned around and hurried down the tower.

After a while, the soldiers climbed the tower again and brought an armored general.

The Wang magistrate is a general who is on duty to guard the tower. After climbing the tower, he learned about the situation with the guards. He hurried to the back of the city stack and raised his eyes to look down the city. He saw that the people coming down the city were indeed a team of people chasing the thief. After thinking for a moment, he waved to his subordinates and said, "Open the gate and let them in."

After Zu Zhao and others entered the city, they crossed the door and saw Wang Shiguan who had known before. He jumped off his horse, arched his hand to Wang and asked, "General, what's going on? Why didn't you let us into the city suddenly?"

I only saw Wang Zhiguan's face pale, and there was a very solemn sadness between his eyebrows. Before he could speak, the gate closed very quickly, and the heavy closing sound of the door had a deep meaning through the door hole. He sighed and said in a low voice, "The righteous man didn't know anything. Just two quarters ago, the news came from the Taishou's mansion. Alas, Liu Taishou... Liu Taishou was stabbed to death..."

Once a word came out, Zu Zhao and others all stared and were surprised.

They obviously waited for Liu Taishou to retreat, and then followed Wen Chou and others to the city to hunt down the fugitive assassins. Why was Liu Taishou suddenly assassinated at this time?

Zu Zhao had countless thoughts in his mind. He thought of those fleeing assassins and Xin Qiubai caught outside the city. He couldn't help but feel a very shocking consciousness: Is all this a plan? Two fires in the north courtyard blocked the gap, leaving a way out in the south. If the assassins can have such a careful plan, it is absolutely impossible to imagine the south passage. That is to say, the assassins deliberately let Liu Taishou and others escape from the south!
