Chapter 258: Beginning

There was still some way to go from the Yamen, and Qi He bumped into Peng Nan and Zheng Xiang head-on. These two people were guards at the place where Guan Cui Duying and others were, and they were brothers who knew each other well, so they hurriedly greeted each other.

After greetings, Peng Nan asked casually: "Jiejie, General He, who has accompanied you in the past few days, checked the account books, do you know where he is?" ”

Qi He said: "You asked the right person. Just now, I saw a few of them eating steamed buns at the Chen's steamed bun shop on the street over there. By the way, why did your two little ladies there, Peony and Qiaoqiao, run out? ”

Peng Nan said vaguely: "There was a little accident, we were about to find the two of her to go back." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly said goodbye to Qi He, and together with Zheng Xiang, he went to the Chen family's bun shop.

Seeing the two leaving, Qi He shook his head, didn't bother to pay attention to them, and hurriedly entered the yamen to find Yu Jingyang.

When he arrived at Chen's steamed bun shop, Peng Nan saw Liu Huai and others sitting in the shop, some had finished eating, and some were still drinking porridge. Walking forward quickly, Peng Nan saluted Liu Huai and said: "In Xia Pengnan, this is Zheng Xiang, all of them are soldiers guarding the city, and they have seen generals." ”

Liu Huai hurriedly stood up and said, "I've seen the two." I don't know what happened here? ”

Peng Nan said: "General, this is not the place to speak, let's take a step to speak." ”

Zhou Su stood up and said to Peng Nan: "All the soldiers here are soldiers of this army, just say it to your face, what's important!" ”

Peng Nan saw that Zhou Su's face was not good, so he had no choice but to say: "General, the Yu Dujian of this city colluded with the Khitans to let the Khitans come to attack the city. As soon as the Khitans came, he opened the door and offered the city. But when the matter came, he hesitated again, and led to today's events. When the general and others came, Yu Dujian was afraid that the scandal would be exposed, and since yesterday, he has begun to massacre people who know about itβ€”β€”"

Hearing this, Liu Huai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked: "The imperial court is not a good prisoner of Yu Du, why did he collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?" ”

Gu Nan thought for a while before he said, "The little ones are just heard, and I don't know if it's true or not." Yu Dujian has done all the bad things around him in the past few years, and he doesn't know how much money he has made. For fear that he would be transferred, the new officials would know about his ugly deeds and go to the court, and he would have nowhere to stay. It is to bring in the Khitans, to be able to defend the city, and to make a great contribution to themselves, and no one will be held accountable for the previous things. If the Khitans are strong and the city cannot be defended, they will vote for the Khitans. ”

Liu Huai dared to slack off when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the people around him not to eat, went to the account, and Lapennan went to a secluded place and said, "How much do you know?" How do you know? One by one, from the truth! I am in charge with you, and I will not be able to run away if I am the first to tell you! ”

Peng Nan told Liu Huai and the others what he knew. He and Zheng Xiang are pawns, and they don't know much, they all hear it in one ear on the left and one on the right. Finally, he said: "Last night, Yu Dujian's right-hand man went to Cheng Tizhi, led people to kill Cui Duying, and killed everyone. The two of us saw that the road was not good, so we hurried to find the general. - By the way, a few little ladies were locked up in it for their pleasure. When he started, he ran over the wall in the dark and ran away. The two of us have decided to come to the general, and we didn't chase the two of them. ”

Liu Huai listened to the people around him: "Aren't you the two little ladies just now?" It is extremely suspicious to see that they are in tattered clothes, have no money on them, and are very hungry. By the way, what do those two look like? ”

Peng Nan told the appearance and clothing of Peony and Qiaoqiao, and said, "One of the two of them is called Peony and the other is called Qiaoqiao. Peony is a foreigner, who was taken captive by Yu Du, and his family was killed. Qiaoqiao doesn't know the details, and it was sold by Fanren. ”

Liu Huai was taken aback: "Murder, robbery, and human trafficking are all capital crimes!" When they saw them, why did they flee? ”

Peng Nandao: "The general doesn't know, Yu Dujian is here, and the people who do this are all people from the barracks." You are wearing military uniforms, how dare they tell you? It's just that you don't know them, and you picked up your own life and left! ”

Liu Huai thought for a while, and said to Zhou Su and He Sanlang: "You two immediately go back to the yamen and quietly light up our soldiers and horses." Remember, don't let outsiders find out! I went to find the two little ladies first, asked for their confessions, and if I matched these two people, I would take Yu Jingyang when I went back! Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the military city is not chaotic, everything will be dealt with by the commander! ”

Zhou Su and He Saburo weighed together and hurriedly returned to the yamen. With more than a dozen followers, he went with Liu Huai to find Peony and Qiaoqiao.

Cheng Yue went out, stretched his waist, saw that the sky had seen in the east, and the red sun had not risen, so he took the two soldiers with him and went to have breakfast together. He is a meatless person, and he feels that something is wrong with his whole body when he doesn't have wine and meat in his mouth for a day. Not far from his house, there is a porridge shop, good meat porridge cooked in the morning. The porridge is full of minced meat, and it is extremely sweet in the mouth.

After entering the porridge shop, the owner hurriedly found a clean seat, asked Cheng Yue and the three to sit down, and put on the porridge.

As soon as he picked up the spoon, as soon as Cheng Yue looked up, he saw Peony and Qiaoqiao not far away, standing in the corner, holding buns in their hands to eat. Eating for a while, while looking around, a vigilant look.

Cheng Yue rubbed his eyes and said to the entourage beside him: "Did you see the hell?" Aren't these two already dead? Look at it, are the two who eat steamed buns peony and Qiaoqiao? You have not patronized them, so you will not admit your mistake. ”

The two looked at each other a few times and said together: "Yes, it's those two people!" Tiha, didn't Peng Nan and the two say that they had been killed yesterday? Could it be that the two standing there are really ghosts? In broad daylight, the red sun rises immediately, and I haven't heard of ghosts appearing at this time. ”

"What nonsense! It must have been Peng Nan and Zheng Xiang who lied and let them go privately! If these two birds were met by me, they would have taken their dogs' lives! Don't eat it, take those two sluts first! Now that reinforcements from outside are coming to the city, if the two of them talk nonsense, it may lead to some kind of chaos! Go with me, don't be merciful this time! ”

As he spoke, he took two entourages and got up and walked quickly towards Peony and Qiaoqiao.

Suddenly heard footsteps, as if somewhat familiar, as soon as Peony looked up, he saw Cheng Yue running towards him with two soldiers. This time he was so frightened that he threw the bun in his hand, pulled it up and ran away. said in his mouth: "It's not a good thing, Cheng Tishi's killing star has already rushed to get us!" Throw the buns away, it's important for us to run! ”

Seeing Peony and Qiaoqiao running, Cheng Yue said angrily: "What a big dog, I dare to run when I see it!" If you hold it this time, you will definitely not be spared! ”

Liu Huai led people around the corner of the street, and was about to meet the fleeing peony and Qiaoqiao, when he suddenly attacked and saw Cheng Yue who was chasing. Seeing this posture, I already believed the words of Peng Nan and the others a little bit in my heart. In a hurry, he ordered the two entourages to take Peng Nan and Zheng Xiang to the corner of the roadside, and he took the rest of the entourage, let go of Peony and Qiaoqiao, and greeted Cheng Yue and the others.

Cheng Yue was chasing after him in a hurry, and suddenly Liu Huai flashed in front of him, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence today, I met Cheng Tizhi!" ”

As he spoke, he reached over, hugged Cheng Yue's shoulder, and slammed his hand hard. Cheng Yue didn't know what was going on, but he felt Liu Huai holding his hand and choking his throat, and he couldn't breathe.

Looking at the two soldiers brought by Cheng Yue in front of him, Liu Huai said in a deep voice: "You know me? ”

The two soldiers hurriedly said: "I've seen the general!" ”

Liu Huai said: "Don't make a noise, come with me!" Who dares to say a word, left and right with me to take their lives! ”

Before the words fell, two entourages stepped forward and restrained the two soldiers led by Cheng Yue.

Half-dragging Cheng Yue, Liu Huai took his entourage to the corner, saw that Peng Nan and Zheng Xiang were still there, and asked, "What about the two girls?" ”

One of the attendants said, "Under the tree over there." A little lady ran and sprained her leg, so they hid behind a tree as if no one was looking. ”

Liu Huai said: "It seems that Yu Jingyang's fornication and treason, nine times out of ten it is true." We only brought a hundred people, and the defenders in the city were all under the control of Yu Jingyang. Go find a pocket, fill the few you have caught, and let's go back to the yamen!" ”
