Chapter 914 Seeing Chuzheng Again (Part [-])
With only the words "Cao Yijun", Cai He didn't think that the girl would definitely bite the bait, so he had to make the bait more attractive.

Knowing that Ali cares about Zhu Xian, Cai He made up a close friend of Zhu Xian back then.

Said that he was upright and clean, he was a classmate with Zhu Xian, and was arrested and imprisoned last month for writing an article to scold Song Zhiyi. The person who arrested him was Cao Yijun.

Imprisonment for writing has existed since ancient times, especially during the change of dynasties, when tens of thousands of works were listed as banned books. Cai He thinks this trick is effective, and this bait will definitely make Ah Li bite.

And the common people are anxious all the time, and they like to gather in teahouses, tea sheds, streets and alleys more than in Taiping years, so these fabricated news spread in Caihe as soon as possible.

But neither Cai nor himself thought that the bait he cast surprised the bait himself.

Hearing that Shen Lie appeared in the area of ​​Panzhou for the first time, besides Zuilu Guo's people who set off immediately, Song Zhiyi's secret line also left immediately.

Cao Yijun and Lu Qiyuan lost trust in front of Jin Hongkang because of his failure to stop Shen Lie in Chunri and April, and he has been brooding over the past six months.

So when he heard that Shen Lie had appeared in Panzhou, Cao Yijun immediately took twenty of his confidants and a counselor to Liujing Mansion, and then to Shoushi.

On the first day of his arrival, Cao Yijun saw the arrest warrant related to himself.

Song Zhiyi and Zhuang Mengyao fought bloody battles a few years ago. Cao Yijun killed at least 1 people in the Jiangnan barracks before he was appointed as the commander of the raiding camp. There is nothing wrong with him being wanted, but who leaked the news.

In addition to the arrest warrant torn down on the street, there were several secret letters before the Cao Yijun case, one of which said that Shen Lie led people to take down Mountain View City in the southeast of Tanzhou.

It was said that Shen Lie was in Panzhou, less than half a month had passed, and it was said that Shen Lie had taken down Mountain View City.

Cao Yijun is a Confucian general with a very good temper, but the lieutenants beside him were slapped on the table.

"At the beginning, it was said that Shen Lie was in Panzhou, and his whereabouts were clear, and it was confirmed to be correct. I waited until then to come here. Why, is it false?" Deputy General Qiu called out.

"Be safe and don't be impatient. If it wasn't true that Shen Lie was in Panzhou, Zuilu wouldn't have dispatched so many people." General Lin Lang, who was facing Deputy General Qiu, said.

"Don't be impatient!" Deputy General Qiu shouted, "I think both sides have been deceived!"

"By the way," another person said, "Didn't you say earlier that someone with Li Gan in the old clothes appeared? Will you deliberately release news about Shen Lie to lure us to Panzhou to catch turtles in an urn?"

"That's impossible," General Lin Lang said, "How could Zhuang Mengyao allow Li Qian's people to be reckless? This wasn't four years ago."

"Damn! Could it be that you borrowed a knife to kill someone?" Deputy General Qiu said.

Cao Yijun did not bring anyone into the inn, but lived in a merchant's mansion. The owner of the mansion, Liu Yun, was Song Zhiyi's secret envoy, and he was obviously an oil businessman.

Butler Liu Yun knocked on the door and brought the cooked Huguang tea. Before leaving, he thought about it and said respectfully to Cao Yijun: "General, our master has not returned from the Chamber of Commerce, so there is something that the general still doesn't know. Let me talk a little bit more."

"What's the matter?" Cao Yijun asked.

"That woman named Ali, she appeared in Shoushi."

Cao Yijun was taken aback: "Her?"

Everyone in the room fell silent and looked at the butler.

The housekeeper said: "This news is true. Our master inquired about it from Yuxi Tower. And, this Ah Li also caused a lot of trouble. She took all the gangsters of Jinchuanfang's generation who formed gangs on the street and fought and provoked. Cleaned up."

"You mean the teenagers who were tied up by the river in Jinchuanfang a few days ago were done by Ah Li?" General Lin Lang asked.

"Well, it's also from Yuxi Tower. Not many people know that Ah Li did it."

Cao Yijun nodded, ordering him to step back first.

After the housekeeper left, Cao Yijun looked at the counselor Huang Yong.

Huang Yong stroked his beard and didn't speak the whole time.

"Sir," Cao Yijun said, "What do you think of the next step?"

Huang Yongchong raised his hand and bowed to him: "General, since Shen Lie is not in Panzhou, let's withdraw."

"But sir, I can't understand this arrest warrant. Why did I land in Shoushi, and my name was written on this arrest warrant?"

"I don't care," Huang Yong said in a deep voice with a clear purpose, "General, we are here only for Shen Lie. If Shen Lie is not here, we will retreat."

"Speaking of wanted warrants," Deputy General Qiu said, "General, Ali also has a wanted warrant."

No matter Shen Lie or Ah Li, both of them are on Song Zhiyi's most wanted list, and Ah Li's reward is even higher.

The head of Sima Wu sent back from the letter earlier shocked the Daping government and the public.

Such a way of declaring war is really humiliating.

In a fit of rage, King Xunping issued a reward order, 500 taels of gold, the title of Marquis Guangxuan, and a county town of Chunluo, in exchange for Ali's head.

Knowing that Ah Li is in Shoushi now, she shouldn't let this opportunity go.

"I have no quarrel with Ah Li. The only person I hate from the beginning to the end is Shen Lie." Cao Yijun said.

"Then let's go," Huang Yong said, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

"No," Deputy General Qiu said, "General, Ah Li is here. No matter whether King Xunping has a reward order or not, if I don't kill this girl, how can we establish a country in Daping?"

"I agree with what Deputy General Qiu said," General Lin Lang said, "General, to strengthen the morale of the army, this woman has to die."

"What's your opinion, sir?" Cao Yijun looked at Huang Yong.

After being silent for a while, Huang Yongsu said: "General, you know why the country's major event is to sacrifice to the army? Although the word "sacrifice" is a sacrifice to heaven, its meaning is to gather strength. As far as I am concerned, the founding of the country is less than five years old. There is no support from the people at all. As far as the world is concerned, Emperor Xuanyan abandoned Beijing and left, the support of the people collapsed, and there is no talk of faith. If this Ali is killed, the support of our army will be strengthened, but the support of our people will not be achieved."

"People's hearts?" Deputy General Qiu said, "The world is still in chaos, and the people can't even eat enough to eat. What kind of words are you talking about? You're just a fool!"

Huang Yong ignored him, and continued: "People in the world don't believe in Li Shi, and they don't believe in me, Emperor Song, but people in the world respect heroes. After heroes, if there is no big sycophant, you must not touch them. General, retreat."

Deputy General Qiu was not reconciled: "General, you don't want to find out about this reward order? Why is there a reward order posted as soon as we arrive at Shoushi?"

Huang Yong looked over: "Vice General Qiu wants to stay?"

"I mean it!"

"Since Vice General Qiu recommended himself," Huang Yong looked at Cao Yijun, "General, let Vice General Qiu bring a few people to stay."

Deputy General Qiu was taken aback: "Me?"

"Alright," Cao Yijun nodded, "Qiu Xiang, you stay to investigate this reward order, but remember, unless you are absolutely sure, don't confront A Li head-on."

Deputy General Qiu was a little confused, and was about to explain, when the knock on the door sounded again.

Steward Liu Yun came in again and said in a low voice: "General, five people have come here, claiming to be Madam Yan's subordinates."

The crowd frowned.

Huang Yong said: "The leader is Yu Yanchi?"

"He claims to be surnamed Yu."

"You shameless person!" Deputy General Qiu shouted immediately.

The butler looked embarrassed and lowered his head.

Huang Yong's eyes were sharp, and he noticed the figures of several people outside, so he looked at Cao Yijun and gave him a little look.

The five people standing outside all had extremely ugly faces.

Yu Yanchi, who was the leader especially, immediately looked at Chuzheng behind him with displeased eyes.

Chu Zheng lowered his eyebrows and could only bear it.

If in the early years, Chuzheng knew that Yu Yanchi would definitely go in, and Yu Yanchi's character would not be head-on, but he would fight with yin and yang.

Now, Yu Yanchi could only swallow his anger.

"If they are outside the door, let them in," Cao Yijun said.

"Yes." Butler Liu Yun responded.

"Vice General Qiu, don't you have company?" Huang Yongchao looked at Vice General Qiu and said with a smile, "They must have come to Shoushi for Chen Lie. With them here, Vice General Qiu will not be alone."

"That's thanks to Mr. Huang for digging a hole for me to jump." Deputy General Qiu gritted his teeth.

When Yu Yanchi and others came in, the atmosphere of the scene was a little weird.

The butler knew that this kind of scene was not something he should keep, so he flattered him a few words and left in the name of preparing food and drinks.

As soon as he came out, the butler hurriedly sent two more people to Yuxi Tower to urge Liu Yun.

After giving orders, he turned around, only to see Yu Yanchi's female subordinate standing behind him.

Chuzheng stood five steps away, looking at him coldly.

The butler swallowed, stepped forward and said, "My lord has something to tell me."

"Ali, are you in Shoushi?"

"It is said that it is..."

"The last time she appeared, where? When?"
