328 Lead the snake out of the hole
These people have strange behaviors, haunting the graves of mountains and forests and mass graves, and even the good Dark Guards who are good at tracking often follow and are lost.
After several days of tracking, the Dark Guard finally zeroed in on the leader of the group, a middle-aged man who was not tall but extremely strong, and tracked down one of their many lairs that haunted the most.
If they hadn't followed closely, who would have guessed that their lair would be in the tomb of an ancient emperor that had long been stolen?
It can be seen that these people are all bandits, and now they are frequently active, and it seems that they have some plans.
Zhen Mingku's face was covered, only his two eyes were exposed, and his eyes were shining at the burly guards guarding the entrance of the mausoleum, and he made a "catch alive" gesture.
After all the men in black saw his gesture, they took out the small bows and crossbows of the Dark Guards from their waists, loaded them with silver needles coated with anesthetics, and flanked them from all sides.
Just as they were lurking about a hundred meters away from each other, one of them spotted them and shouted, "Who! ”
The other party's reaction was unexpectedly fast, obviously after a long period of training and high alertness, as soon as the other party's words fell, dozens of people ran out of the cave, and rushed towards the place where the dark guards were lurking with large knives in their hands......
Zhen Mingku no longer hesitated, and shouted in a low voice: "Do it!" ”
Then, the sound of the hidden weapon breaking through the air sounded, and dozens of people on the other side fell to the ground before they ran fifty meters away......
……
The oil lamp illuminated the entire empty and grand imperial tomb, and the scene in front of them made all the dark guards stunned.
Mountains of blades and armor, dozens of large wooden boxes filled with real money and silver, and tens of thousands of stone of grain that are at least enough for 10,000 people to eat for a month.
Zhen Mingku finally understood the reason for the soaring rice prices in Luoyang City in the past few months, which was probably caused by these people's hoarding, and ironically, most of these rice bags were printed with the Wuliangwang store mark of the third master's family, the object of their kidnapping.
With so many weapons, armor and supplies, it is enough to assemble an army of several thousand people, not to mention that this is only one of the warehouses, which shows that these people have premeditated and are ready to do a big job.
One of the Secret Guards stepped forward and asked beside him, "General, there are not hundreds of people who want to transport these things away tonight." ”
Zhen Mingku was silent for a while, then raised his head and said, "The thing is as it is, take the people away." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the Secret Guard's eyes when he heard this, and he didn't ask too much, turning around to convey orders to the other Secret Guards.
Dozens of Dark Guards threw the unconscious robbers into the carriage one by one, and quickly disappeared into the night, at the mouth of the cave, there was not even a trace of a fight, as if nothing had happened......
……
At the entrance of Longmen Town, the residents of Longmen Town were around, pointing and discussing the notice board that had just been posted.
"What did the notice say?"
"The notice said that since the general smashed the nest of those traffickers in Henan half a year ago, the Secret Guard Mansion has arrested a group of bandits who are active in the prefectures and counties around Luoyang for kidnapping and extortion, and is preparing to behead the public in a few days to warn those bandits who rob homes and houses."
"Longmen Town will have General Zhen in charge in the future, and the people's lives will be peaceful from now on, God must bless the general with many blessings and longevity, the family will be safe and sound, and everything will be fine."
"It's a pity that such a good general married such a watery poplar woman, it's infuriating to think about!"
"Last year, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the general invited her to come to Longmen Town to perform a song and dance for us, at that time I thought that the general and her had reconciled, but this woman was rumored to be this kind of ugly thing, if it wasn't too difficult to see her, I would have to spit on this woman's face in front of me......
"I heard that the ladies of the Yuwang Mansion have taught her a hard lesson, and the laurel fairy hasn't been out to perform recently, and it seems that she has learned her mistake and restrained herself."
While everyone was talking, several suspicious-looking men next to them stopped to look at the faces of those people on the notice, their faces changed drastically, and then quickly left away......
……
In the mansion of the Great Guard General, Zhen Mingku was sitting in the hall drinking tea leisurely, and a secret guard member next to him asked: "General, the notice has been posted for a few days, are you sure that their people will come to rob the camp?" ”
"It doesn't matter if they come or not, if they come, they will be wiped out, if they don't come, it's just a rabble, don't worry, and when the day after tomorrow passes, we will lead the troops to raid their warehouses, and this grain is enough for those refugees in the south of the city to eat for a while."
Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and calmly.
"Report!"
At this moment, a herald hurriedly ran in at the door and reported: "General, three hundred greenhouses in the west of Longmen Town were attacked and looted by a group of masked men, and the sheds were set on fire!" ”
Zhen Ming frowned bitterly and stood up.
"Zhen Ye, as you expected, their people have been brought out, give the order."
Zhen Ming shook his head bitterly: "Don't worry, this is just a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and their purpose is for them as accomplices." ”
"Is the greenhouse base gone?"
"If it is burned, it can be rebuilt, as long as the leaders of these bandits can be caught, they will be wiped out, all the things they have looted over the years, and it will not be a problem to rebuild thousands of greenhouses, just a few hundred are nothing, if they are burned, they will be burned, and the order will be passed on, and everyone will not attack and hide in the city!"
"Yes!"
The herald went down to convey the order, and an hour later, the other party saw that the disturbance was ineffective, and no longer harassed the fiefdom farmers, but fortunately this harassment did not cause casualties, which made Zhen Mingku surprised, but he didn't expect that these bandits still had some principles.
In the past few days, the dark guards have used their usual interrogation methods to coerce and lure those thieves back, but they didn't expect that all of them were quite backbone, but they refused to reveal who their leader was, and in the end, it was the crack man named He Panren who admitted it himself.
Zhen Mingku thought that it would take a lot of trouble to force the mastermind behind the scenes from this person's mouth, but unexpectedly, before much interrogation, the other party explained their number and the purpose of the trip, but what he did not explain was the true identity of the "third lady" in his mouth.
Zhen Mingku still remembers that when he was interrogated that day, a mocking look flashed in the other party's eyes, as if he was looking at a dying person, this He Panren obviously has incomparable confidence in this "third lady", even if he knows that the person in front of him is the general of the secret guard who has no reputation in Luoyang, he still has no trace of fear.
This made Zhen Mingku very puzzled, could it be that this "third lady" was worse than him, the famous general of the secret guard?
