Su Jin wandered alone in the streets, a team of vigilante soldiers patrolled through the streets, and saw Su Jin stop to say hello, and the lights in Yangzhou City were bright, like a baby who had been reborn.

There was laughter and joy in the houses on all sides, and how many people toasted tonight to celebrate that the sky in Yangzhou has since become a clear sky.

Su Jinxin's horse rode slowly on the street, the fresh air calmed his mind, and the feeling of depression brought about by Mihua's death was also slightly reduced, there are still so many tricky things to deal with at hand, it is really not the time of the Tang Dynasty, as a member of this era, it is absolutely impossible to have a strong enough heart.

Inadvertently, Su Jin came to an alley on North Street, looked up, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, he actually involuntarily came to the door of the inn where Bai Peony and the others lived.

Ma Han and Zhang Long also led people to stare at it, Su Jin threw the stirrup and dismounted, tied the horse to the tethered horse stone at the door of the inn, gently pushed open the door of the inn, and a bean orange light shot out inside, in the corner of the lobby, Ma Han and Zhang Long were sitting opposite each other for a drink, and the hot air of a pot of charcoal hot pot stewed on the small table was boiling, and the fragrance was fragrant.

Su Jin Yile, these two goods still know how to enjoy, eat supper and drink here in the middle of the night, but they are also comfortable, when they are called to guard this inn, they are still sad, and now I am afraid that they will not be happy.

Su Jin gently knocked on the table with a horsewhip, making a snapping sound, Ma Han Zhang Long was startled, and asked in unison: "Who?" He copied the knife next to him.

Su Jin approached slowly, and deliberately said with a calm face: "You are also at ease, you are tired and tired, you are here to eat and drink." ”

Ma Han Zhang Long hurriedly put down the knife, rubbed his hands with a smile, and Ma Han stammered: "This is not ...... I'm bored on a cold night, why don't you two get some food to warm up? ”

Zhang Long nodded and took Su Jin's cloak with a smile: "Master, why did you come here so late, is it looking for white peonies?" ”

Ma Han slapped him on the head and said, "Be careful with your mouth, is Ye that kind of person?" I came to see our brothers. ”

Su Jin rolled his eyes, sat down on the edge of the hot pot, stretched out his hand and said, "Take the chopsticks and take the bowl, what is this stew?" ”

Ma Han hurriedly took the bowl and chopsticks, poured a bowl of wine for Su Jin and said, "Master, it's beef." ”

Su Jin slapped his chopsticks and said, "You even eat beef?" Don't you know how tight the animals are right now? There are no more livestock in the spring ploughing fields, and you still dare to eat beef? ”

Ma Han hurriedly said: "This is the shopkeeper to get it, he said that it was a ploughing cow in the countryside north of the city to give birth, but it was tossed to death, and it was a pity to bury it, so he let the blood and sell the meat into the city. ”

Su Jin picked up the chopsticks and said: "This is about the same, you must remember that some things are not taken for nothing, and some things cannot be touched, especially if you can't abuse the people, look at Feng Laohu's current appearance, you will understand." ”

"I understand, I understand, I want to be hot, this is a piece of beef tenderloin, it's delicious, warm up first." Ma Hanyan couldn't help but agree, stretched out his chopsticks and sandwiched a large piece of beef and put it into Su Jin's bowl.

Su Jin also said it so politely, but he was not an old pedant, so he snorted and ate the two of them about the liquor and beef.

Ma Han and Zhang Long are also sympathetic, the two originally took more than a dozen box soldiers to guard here, the cold night was long, the two of them simply ordered the box soldiers to go to sleep, and the two of them called the shopkeeper to get the wine and meat stewed, and the shopkeeper also went to sleep, and the two of them drank and kept vigil here, but they were also leisurely.

"Master, let's go back and follow you tomorrow, there are enough soldiers here, I see that the squad leader is also calm and honest, and the city is gradually calming down, there should be nothing wrong." Ma Han toasted Su Jin with a glass of wine and took the opportunity to say.

Su Jin nodded and said: "It's okay, the one who should be caught is caught, the one who should be taken, I am also short of people at hand, then Feng Laohu still refuses to say where the grain is stored, you will go back tomorrow, we have to look for clues in the city, and it will be difficult to count on Feng Laohu to say it." ”

Zhang Long said: "This old dog, according to me, strips off his clothes and whips him 300 times a day, beating his father and mother to the point that he still has a hard mouth. ”

Su Jin glanced at him and said: "I know how to fight, some people can be subdued, and some people can't be killed, although Feng Jingyao is a villain, but he is also a man, if he takes the right path, he is not a decisive man, blindly torture to extract confessions, but it seems that we are incompetent." ”

Zhang Long said: "But he didn't say, can we get results from looking around in the city?" Have you asked those of his disciples? It is said that such a major event as the grain storage, his apprentices must know, you think, how can Feng Laogou arrange the hiding of more than one million stone of grain. ”

Su Jin said: "I asked, I said I didn't know, saying that this matter was arranged by Feng Laohu personally, and he didn't let anyone around him interfere, and the original place where the grain was stored was in the racecourse and wicker alley, but when he learned that we exterminated the bandits and recaptured the grain, Feng Jingyao immediately transferred the grain from these two places and hid it." ”

Ma Han said: "Master, there must be someone to help, otherwise what ability does he Feng Laohu have to hide the grain?" That's 1.8 million stones, a huge pile. ”

Su Jin took a sip of wine and said: "That's absolute, and this person is not from Yangzhou, I analyzed, Feng Laohu asked the stranger to bring the people to carry the grain, and after moving, he paid the money and sent away, of course, he couldn't find out in the city." ”

Ma Han was stunned and said, "Outsiders? So how do you find out? ”

Su Jin thought for a while and said: "Serious analysis, in fact, it is not difficult, you think that the imperial court has closed the official road, and it is absolutely impossible for grain to be transported out of Yangzhou without the road opened by the prefect, and the official roads between Taizhou, Zhenzhou, Sizhou and Yangzhou near Yangzhou have all been cut off, and the waterway is not smooth, and it is even more impossible for Jiangning Mansion, Changzhou, and Tongzhou to be farther away, and the only ones that can be freely transferred without the need for official roads are only a few counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou." ”

"Transporting grain during the day will cause people to be suspicious, so Feng Jingyao, in order to ensure that he acts secretly, must have transferred the grain overnight, and he can transport the grain away and hide it in such a short period of time.

Ma Han said: "Transported out of the city? When a large pile of grain was transported out of the city gate, didn't the defenders at the city gate know? ”

Su Jin smiled and said: "Even if you have made progress, this is a breakthrough, you can ask from the city gate guards, but the city gate guards have been transferred, and you have to find the relevant personnel to find the duty records." ”

Ma Han said: "What's so difficult about that? In total, there are so many soldiers, just ask. ”

Su Jin shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, we can think of this, how could Feng Jingyao not know this when he was transporting grain, maybe he didn't know if he returned empty-handed, don't forget, Feng Jingyao was not a prisoner at that time, and the officials in Yangzhou were still under his control." ”

Ma Han said: "But the city gate guards are garrisoned by the Xiang army, didn't the master say that there are no other people in the Xiang army?" How could he have the ability to shut up the garrison? ”

Su Jin frowned and thought for a while: "At that time, Pan Jiang and more than a thousand box soldiers followed me at the foot of Bagong Mountain, and there were not enough box soldiers in the city, maybe this was Feng Jingyao's opportunity." ”

Ma Han and Zhang Long's minds were confused, they didn't understand what Su Jin was talking about, but with the wise and martial son, the two of them were too lazy to worry, so they diverted the topic, drank wine and ate meat; The three of them talked about it, and they actually drank all the two jars of spirits.

Ma Han and Zhang Long were just slightly drunk, but Su Jin couldn't stand it and fell drunk, his tongue was big, his eyes were straight, he stood up and staggered, and he didn't know how to go.

Zhang Long hurriedly hugged Su Jin and said, "Master, where are we sending you?" Yamen or Yuelai Inn? ”

Su Jin was confused and didn't answer, Ma Han slapped Zhang Long's head again and scolded: "Where can I send it to a ready-made place?" Can you still walk like this? ”

With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed upstairs to the inn, making a look.

Zhang Long immediately understood, and the two helped Su Jin, who was stumbling, to the guest house at the back step by step, and knocked on the door of a room on the second floor.

Bai Peony and another woman named Red Rose lived in the same house, the two had not yet fallen asleep, they were leaning on the bedside chatting, when they suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, and the two women were startled.

"Sister, could it be that those officers and soldiers downstairs want to do something wrong?" Red Rose asked, with a pale face.

Bai Peony thought about it for a while, and said to herself: "Probably not, these are Su Gongzi's subordinates, and they will definitely not come nonsense." ”

"What's the reason for knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"

Bai Peony couldn't answer, there was a knock on the door outside, Bai Peony bit her lip and said: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if they really want to break in, it won't help if they don't open the door." ”

So he got dressed and got out of bed, came to the door, and gently opened the door a crack, and saw a figure flashing, a smell of wine rushing to his face, and a heavy body pounced on his body, followed by the sound of stairs, and it was obvious that someone was far away.

Bai Peony was frightened in her heart, stretched out her hand to push the person who was leaning on her shoulder away, and looked at it through the candlelight, not only was she surprised, but the person closed his eyes and shook, his cheeks were red, his thick eyebrows and thin lips, and he had a fair and handsome face, who else was not Su Gongzi?
