Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 10 The Thief
Xiaoying happily passed by his father's room, saw that the door was still locked, and knew that her father might not come back again, she had already gotten used to it, and after entering her room, she locked the door and rested in bed.

In the haze, she felt that the door rang, she was too sleepy, thought it was her father who came back, she didn't care, and continued to sleep.

Suddenly, a black shadow pounced on her body, Xiaoying woke up from the dream, and a black man covered with a light veil was about to insult her.

"There are thieves!" Xiaoying yelled in panic, when the masked man in black covered her mouth with a big hand, making her feel suffocated.

She struggled desperately, and in a panic, the kettle on the small table beside the bed fell to the ground and shattered with a thud.

These noises just alarmed one person, and it was Zhang Baihu who came back for the first time.He originally went to a village more than ten miles away to sleep under the bed of a woman.

But after the two of them were happy, a group of thieves came to the village while they were sleeping. I don't know how many people there were. They screamed, murdered, robbed and set fire, and the screams alarmed them.

People in the village ran for their lives, and Zhang Baihu and his concubine also fled in a hurry.

It was already the third watch when Zhang Baihu's flying horse returned to the institute. He didn't disturb anyone, and asked his subordinates to lead the horse to feed it, and came straight to his room.

As soon as he walked to his own room, Zhang Baihu was furious when he heard his daughter's room shouting that there was a thief and throwing things. The thief was too bold.

"There are assassins, catch the thief!" He shouted outside the door, and rushed into the house with a knife.

The masked man in black didn't like it, so he quickly let go of Xiaoying and ran away.But being blocked by Zhang Baihu, he swung his knife and chopped.

The black-clothed masked man was very skilled, he dodged to the side, and Zhang Baihu slashed at nothing, and the black-clothed masked man also had an extra knife in his hand at this time, so he just slashed at this Baihu.

The two of them were fighting each other in this room, Zhang Xiaoying had never experienced such a thing, she was so frightened that she shrank in the corner of the bed and forgot to shout.

But the room in the room was too narrow to withstand such tossing, the table was overturned, the stools were overturned, and the noise was in a mess.

This movement was naturally not small, and Zhang Baihu's shouting before entering the house alarmed a soldier on duty, and hurriedly shouted, "There are thieves, catch thieves, there are assassins..." Immediately after the assembly horn sounded up.

Ji Dong, who was sleeping, was awakened like a conditioned reflex, and jumped up from the bed. He didn't even have time to put on his clothes. When the others in the room were still turning over and suffering from hysteria, Ji Dong rushed out the door.

At this time, hearing a scream from Xiaoying's room, Ji Dong thought of coming in this direction at a fast speed, and broke into the door...

Zhang Baihu is also good at martial arts, but he has neglected to exercise over the years, and he often goes to the village at night to get under the bed of women. He is less than 50 years old and he is already unable to do what he wants.

And this masked man was fierce, he stabbed Zhang Baihu's stomach with a knife, Zhang Baihu screamed and fell in a pool of blood.

Hearing the shouts from outside, the thief wiped his head and ran away. As soon as he arrived at the door, he met Lin Yi head-on.Fighting up with the knife, with a clang, the thief's knife was blocked, and Ji Dong flew up, and the thief was kicked to the window.

The window was smashed with a click, and the thief fell out of the window.

Then Lin Yi jumped forward and shot out. At this moment, he saw a black shadow running more than ten meters away. Just as Lin Yi was about to chase, Xiaoying's cries came from inside the room.

"Father?...Father, are you okay?...Hurry up and save someone, military doctor..."

Lin Yi was worried about Xiaoying and Lord Baihu, so he turned and entered the house.

At this time, several generals in the camp also ran over, holding torches, each holding a knife and gun, shouting and chasing the thief.

"Stop! Don't run..."

Lin Yi picked up Zhang Baihu, who was covered in blood, and ran outside. As soon as he got outside, General Banner Wang Jian led a dozen people to surround him, and a military doctor ran over with a medical kit on his back.

Under the light of the torch, the military doctor hurriedly checked the wound, and then applied medicine to bandage the wound.After it was over, Zhang Baihu was carried to his room in a hurry.

Zhang Baihu's face was pale, and it took him a long time to slowly open his eyes again, looking at Xiaoying, Lin Yi and the others, his lips parted, wanting to speak, but in the end he didn't speak, rolled his eyes, and passed away.

"father?"……

Lin Yi lay on his father's body crying like hell, Zhang Baihu's eyes were still staring, Wang Jian closed Zhang Baihu's eyes, Lin Yi was upset and advised Xiaoying, fearing that she would cry to death.

Xiaoying threw herself into Ji Dong's arms and cried even more sadly, her shoulders trembled and she couldn't cry.Lin Yi patted her on the shoulder and comforted her by saying that he would definitely find the murderer and avenge Lord Baihu.

Only then did Xiaoying gradually stop crying.

At this time, all the soldiers in the camp came, and the dozen or so soldiers who were chasing the culprit also came back, saying that the culprit had escaped over the wall, and they did not catch up.

At this moment, Ji Dong suddenly remembered that the thief was dressed in black, with a light veil covering his face, which meant that he did not dare to show his true colors, so Lin Yi said that the murderer was probably someone everyone knew.

Remembering that Lin Yi was right, Wang Jian immediately gathered everyone to roll their names, only to find out that only Zhang Hua was not there.

Wang Jian and Lin Yi led the people in the camp to search around inside and outside the barracks with torches, but found no sign of Zhang Hua. At this time, the bed was next to him. He used the excuse of going to the bathroom and never came back.

Ji Dong knew that Zhang Hua was lustful, and at this time, the scene of Zhang Hua coveting Xiaoying's beauty appeared in Ji Dong's mind again and again, which made him even more sure that the murderer was Zhang Hua.

Lin Yi, Wang Jian and others planned to find a way to capture Zhang Hua, and asked the generals in the camp to find out his whereabouts.

Just then a person came in from the outside, limping a little, with a bruised nose and a swollen face. Everyone saw that it was Zhang Hua.

"Good boy, do you still dare to come back?" He Tao, Dong Sheng, Li Qi, and Er Hu surrounded Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua looked at everyone with an innocent face, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Lin Yi was out of breath, and rushed over in a quick step, grabbed his collar, and a sweeper came from below, and threw Zhang Hua to the ground with a plop, so his intestines were still hanging.

Ji Dong lifted him up from the ground again, "Say, what did you do just now?"

"I, I..." Zhang Hua's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and now his nose was broken, bleeding profusely, but he hesitated.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'll wipe you!" Lin Yi said, putting the sharp steel knife on his neck.

"Okay, let me tell you..." Zhang Hua didn't dare to be dishonest anymore, and told what happened tonight.

It turned out that after he finished drinking tonight, he felt itchy because of the strength of the drink.Especially seeing such a beautiful Xiaoying, who was inseparable from Lin Yi, he couldn't fall asleep with him.

He ran to a village more than ten miles away to get into the bed of a woman, but at night there was a riot in the village and he was blocked in the yard.

He climbed over the wall and ran, and the thief chased after him. He stumbled and fell several times. Finally, he hid in a dog hole and escaped the catastrophe.

After the thief withdrew, he got out of the dog hole and ran back.

Unexpectedly, during this period, such a thing happened in the institute.Knowing that everyone suspected that he was the murderer, Zhang Hua shouted for innocence.

Lin Yi, Wang Jian and others thought he was dishonest, and deliberately found excuses to make up nonsense, ordered someone to tie him up, and planned to have cramps, skinned, gouged out eyes, and severe punishment.

Zhang Hua still yelled that he was wronged. He said that this incident must have been done by the thieves and had nothing to do with him. I don't believe you sent someone to a village more than ten miles away to find out the situation.If he is a murderer, would he dare to come back?

Lin Yi calmed down and thought it was reasonable, so he sent two soldiers on horseback to the village to confirm that when the two soldiers returned, they were exactly as Zhang Hua said.

The thieves have retreated, and those villages have been looted, and the people have long since fled. The fire is raging, and corpses are everywhere in the village.

And Lin Yi recalled it, and you asked Xiaoying to identify it again, thinking that the murderer was someone else, because the black-clothed masked man who fought Lin Yi in the room just now was shorter than Zhang Hua , overweight.

After excluding and excluding in this way, Ji Dong and the others finally locked on a person, and this person was Gao Yong who fled in fear of crime.

But this is just suspicion, there is no evidence, and we can only talk about it when we have a chance to catch him in the future, so we have to put this matter aside for the time being.

Lin Yi, Wang Jian and others helped Xiaoying bury the head of the hundred households and wrote a letter to Qianhu.

Before the new head of the hundred households came, Wang Jian, the head of the general banner, acted as an agent for the hundred households and was in charge of the affairs of the institute. Lin Yi once again suggested that Wang Jianjian should train troops and repair the borders, and Wang Jian readily accepted Lin Yi's suggestion.They knew that their army had to deal not only with Tartars, but also with thieves.
