Chapter 155 Something is wrong

As for why she lied, she had to ask the woman herself, and now she is obediently waiting for the soldiers to come back to know the result.

A group of people waited quietly in the hall, those bandits slept soundly, there was no sign of waking up at all.

After a while, the general wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked in with big strides, knelt down in front of Qi Xiu and said, "Third Prince, my subordinates have searched the cottage inside and out, and have not found anyone. "

Still not, Qi Xiu frowned, could it be that what the woman said was true?
After struggling for a while, Chen Ye stood up and said slowly, "My lord, have you ever searched for the house not far from the side of the cottage?"

"Is there a room on the side?" The general looked bewildered, they didn't find anything.

Chen Ye nodded, and said softly, "When I went up the mountain to steal medicine, they didn't put the medicinal herbs in the cottage, but in the house outside the cottage. It's a distance away from here, and you should be able to see it if you walk a little further. , adults can go there to have a look, maybe there will be something to gain."

"You are the one who ran here alone to grab the medicinal herbs a few days ago." The general was a little surprised when he heard Chen Ye's words, and his attitude improved a lot. People go and have a look."

The third prince nodded, and asked the general to lead a group of people, while he focused his attention on Chen Ye, and asked, "Did you meet anyone or anything when you came last time?"

Chen Ye pursed his lips, clasped his fists and said, "Third Prince, the last time the Caomin came, I met the girl just now, but the girl at that time was completely different from her current identity, and the Caomin was not sure which one was real and which one was fake. of."

"tell me the story."

"Yes." Chen Ye nodded respectfully, and told all the things that happened before. Once he said it, Qi Xiu frowned even tighter. He looked at Chen Ye seriously and asked, "Are you sure that the Bandit They all call her Miss?"

"Yes, because Cao Min met her as soon as he went up the mountain, and was deceived by her."

Then it will be difficult, and only when the head of the family wakes up will they figure out what is going on. Qi Xiu winked at the soldiers on the side, brought a middle-aged man out, put him aside, and went to He took a basin of water and poured it directly on the man.

Now the weather is getting colder, and the water in the mountains is even more icy cold, causing the man lying on the ground to shudder and slowly open his eyes.

When he opened it, the man was stunned. He wanted to stand up, but his hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't move at all. The man's eyes swept across the crowd, and finally set his sights on Qi Xiu. "How did you go up the mountain!"

Qi Xiu raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Of course it came up directly like this."

"Why?" Before the man finished speaking, his whole body froze suddenly, and something suddenly came to his mind. Last night, they had a great time drinking. Originally, he was not drunk after a thousand cups. Drunk, he realized later that they were drugged, but it was too late.

Then he vaguely saw a few people standing up and walking out. He couldn't remember anything about the next thing. The man pursed his lips and looked at Qi Xiu with complicated eyes, "Have you planted people in our cottage?"

"The boss is joking, we don't have that ability."

Who would it be without that ability!Who would drug their wine for no reason!Could it be that spies came out of their village!
How is it possible, the head of the family looked a little complicated, and asked, "I remember that our Heishanling has not had any conflicts with the imperial court in recent years, and we have never done anything harmful to nature. Every time, the imperial court took the initiative to encircle us. "

Hearing the man's frown, Qi Xiu sneered and said, "Didn't you do anything outrageous? Didn't you offend the court? Then tell me, why did you intercept the government's convoy and grab the medicinal herbs a few days ago? It is even more hateful! Why did you kidnap some innocent people to go up the mountain! This prince asks you, where are you hiding those people who were kidnapped by you up the mountain? If you really recruited them, I can still punish you lightly."

The man listened with a dazed expression, and looked at Qi Xiu a little puzzled, "When did we intercept the things of the imperial court? We were all on the mountain a few days ago, and the plague was contagious at the foot of the mountain, and we never went down the mountain, let alone kidnapping the people, sir, Are you making a mistake?"

Qi Xiu pursed his lips, seeing the man's expression of ignorance, feeling a little uncertain in his heart, and asked, "Is there any other bandit dens besides you in this generation of Heishanling?"

"No, we have been guarding Heishanling for more than ten years, and there have never been any other bandits around."

"Someone saw with their own eyes the day before yesterday that you kidnapped more than a dozen ordinary people, and a few days ago, we sent people up to snatch the herbs back. You really think I'm stupid! Pretend not to know."

"I" the man was speechless, frowning and explained, "Master Jun, we have never hijacked your medicinal herbs, not to mention that your medicinal herbs were collected to get rid of the plague. Although we are not good people, we still have human nature." Yes, it is impossible for us to hijack the medicinal herbs from the government, you must have made a mistake."

Qi Xiu opened his mouth, and before he could speak, there was some noise outside, and then the soldiers came in with a lot of civilians.

The leading general hurried forward and said excitedly, "Third prince, we have found him. It is true that he was locked in that small room by them as Brother Chen said. Not only that, we also found this people."

The general waved his hand, and two soldiers walked in with a man pressed down, and kicked the man to the ground. Qi Xiu recognized that man at a glance. This was the one who led them up the mountain and broke the trap all the way. , a little puzzled "What's going on here?"

Before the general could answer, the head of the family who was kneeling at the side looked at the man with a look of surprise and shouted loudly, "Changsan!"

Qi Xiu and the general looked at each other and asked, "Do you know each other?"

The head of the family nodded, "Changsan is from my village, I naturally know him, Changsan, what happened!"

Changsan looked at the head of the house with a guilty expression, sighed and lowered his head without speaking.

Qi Xiu's words surprised Qi Xiu, this man in front of him is from their village?
"Third prince, this person is the one who was guarding the hut just now. In addition, his subordinates also found many medicinal materials that were robbed by the court in previous years."

 I finally made it up, hey, it's a bit late, sorry~
