All the sergeants gathered around with their guns. Yuwen Hongtai was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "It just so happens that Zhengshou can't find the boundary of Xiangyang County Office!"

The leading military academy was stunned, and then looked at Qin Mubai and others carefully, and then stepped forward and asked solemnly, "Who are you guys?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "Isn't the army still agreeing that we are a water ghost party? Why did you come to ask again?"

The face of the military academy twitched, and grinned: "Look at you, you are calm and calm according to the table. I don't want to be a waiting person. To be honest, the lieutenant can consider it carefully."

"Wei?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly when he heard the words, "I don't know what rank the army master will worship?"

"A certain Zuoying school lieutenant of Xiangzhou Prefecture, Zhao Chong is the same." The military academy said in a deep voice, his brows still wrinkled, "Quickly, who are you guys?"

"School lieutenant? I still think you are the captain!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, "Inquiring criminals, it is the duty of the yamen, what to do with your military captain? Gossip, Take us away!"

"You!...really toast not to eat, to eat fine wine!" Zhao Chong was annoyed, his eyes were furious and his eyebrows were erected, and a flesh-colored knife scar on his left face appeared, which was quite hideous.

At this time, Li Ke came out and laughed and said: "School Lieutenant Zhao calmed down! We are just ordinary businessmen. We have always made money in harmony, and peace is the most important thing. People don’t fight against officials. Since the lieutenant recognizes us. If you are a water ghost with the party, then I will be sent to the county government or the state government. When the governor or the county magistrate is promoted to ask the case, you will know when you ask. Such a large crowd of people drinking and asking, what is it? Doesn’t it make outsiders mistakenly believe that Xiao Xiaowei set up a private court?"

"You...you have a slippery mouth!" Zhao Chong became more annoyed, threw his horse whip bitterly, and yelled at the sergeant behind him, "What are you doing in a daze? Tied all up and take it away! "

"Do you dare!" Yuwen Hongtai yelled, and Li Ke hurriedly stopped him, "No matter, it is Datang Wangfa who tied us, not him Xiaowei Zhao, let him go!"

"Huh! The surname is Zhao! Faint official, dog official, confused official! Remember it for grandpa today! Dare to tie us, grandpa will tie you to the street upstairs tomorrow, until you die—come, Tie it!" Yuwen Hongtai yelled, turning his hands behind his back.

This roar caused Zhao Chong to hit his whole body with a sharp spirit, his eyes rolled suspiciously, and he wondered in his heart: It's strange, where is there such an unreasonable person? Seeing these people's temperament and talking, they must be extraordinary people; just listened to this **** man's words, as if he was confident, could it really have a great background? Or is it pretentious? ...That's it, be careful to make the Wannian Ship, I am only responsible for taking people, how to ask the people who are in the yamen, can I offend people if I can commit them?

"My lieutenant is not the same as you!" Zhao Chong sneered at Yuwen Hongtai, "Come on, pick them up and go directly to the yamen of the Provincial Government. This is a big case and must be heard directly by the Provincial Government. Even if you are riding a horse... you don’t need to tie it up! You guys should be honest! If you dare to escape or make a mistake, these carbine and crossbow don’t have eyes, huh!"

Qin Mubai and Li Ke laughed, thinking that Zhao Chong still had some eyesight and knew something good or bad.

So several sergeants stepped forward, put Qin Mubai and others on the horse with a half-push, half-pushing, and riding them with a knife, and then one person to accompany them to ride behind, and more than fifty horses galloped away.

Leave a team of yamen there in a daze, and Zhou Laojiu, the leader of the yamen, murmured in confusion, "It's not right...how do I feel that this group of people are more anxious to go to the yamen than Zhao Chong? How can there be such a thief? Broken!... This time I am afraid that it will be a cause for trouble, and it will provoke someone who shouldn’t be offended!"

"Come here! Go to the county government and inform the county government of what has just happened!"

"Yes—"

Xiangyang County is the capital of Xiangzhou. The county government is across the street from the prefectural government, and it only takes a cup of tea on foot. On the other hand, the more than two thousand soldiers and horses of Xiangzhou Prefecture were stationed in the Maolin Plain in the west of Zhouyang City, less than fifteen miles away from the city. The Eight Ghost Crossing that happened was even closer to the Xiangzhou Military Mansion, only less than five miles away. Therefore, Zhao Chong and others came fast enough today.

Qin Mubai felt a little leisurely when he ran over. I carefully observed the riding skills of these sergeants, and they were not weak. So he took a bold guess and asked the knight behind him: "Hey, brother, are you Yueqi from Xiangzhou Prefecture?"

"Huh?" The sergeant was about 30 years old, and he was slightly taken aback, "How do you know?"

"Hey! In the rivery land of the southern port, it is rare to see your cavalry with superb riding skills and good matching of horses." Qin Mubai said, "So you can guess at the bottom, you should He is one of the few mercenaries and elite Yueqi soldiers in Xiangzhou Prefecture."

The sergeant widened his eyes in surprise, and then drank heavily: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, knowing that he was right.

Zhenguan Datang implemented a government-soldier system, and the main source of force was farmers. Farmers work as soldiers during wartime and prepare their own food, grass, and weapons for military service. Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty has a strong style of martial arts, and the people of Guotai and Min'an have no worries about food and clothing, so the army of the Tang Dynasty has never worried about the source of troops. In spite of this, Datang still hired a group of elite soldiers. The state provided food, wages, and weapons as a fixed source of troops. For example, the imperial forest troops like Baiqi, Qianniuwei, and the guards of the left and right guards are mostly mercenaries, but most of them are made up of the children of the official family. It is difficult for the common people to be selected.

In the other twelve guards, there are generally several types of arms: Yueqi, Wuqi, Platoon, Infantry, Archer, and Crossbowmen.

Among them, Yueqi is generally a mercenary, who is specially selected to be capable of shooting, shooting and fighting. In every military palace, there must be a group of such people as elite backbones. But if you go into battle, the more you ride is the spearhead for charging and destroying the city, and it is also the most precious unit of the Twelve Guards of the Tang Dynasty.

In the southern boundary, the elite vietnamese cavalry is particularly noble.

In other words, the group of Yueqi in front of him will be Qin Mubai's trump card with the most combat ability in the future.

Qin Mubai wanted to come to find it funny. He just stepped on the ground in Xiangzhou and was caught by his subordinates before he took office...

Zhao Chong and others escorted Qin Mubai and his party, and entered Xiangyang County, which is also Xiangzhou Prefecture. The people in the city saw the soldiers swarming into the city aggressively, and they all came to watch, and the city became lively.

More than fifty rides drove directly to the governor's office. After passing in, a governor from the governor's palace came out to pick up people. Facao’s surname is Wu, in his forties and fifties. He was startled when he saw such a battle. After asking the reason, he announced on the spot: “Since the new governor and Sima and Changshi have not yet taken office, the first general Criminals are put under the custody of the prison."

Li Ke smiled, got off the horse, Shi Shiran walked to the Fa Cao, looked at him up and down, and said: "You are the Fa Cao of Xiangzhou Prefecture."

"Exactly." Wu Facao was a little annoyed by the unscrupulous look of a man, and said irritably, "You, a thief who committed a crime, dare to be so arrogant in the governor's mansion and talk to Ben Cao like this?" /

"Then how should I talk to you?" Li Ke sneered, "How come you are the only one left in the governor's mansion? Where are those individuals who drive, join the army, and doctors?"

"What's the matter with you?" Wu Facao cursed, still saying, "Your colleagues have all gone to Guandu Wharf to meet the newly appointed state governor, His Royal Highness King Wu. Is it possible that you are still waiting to meet you alone? Stop talking nonsense. , You just wait for the new governor to come to the hall for questioning-take it away!"

"Haha!" Li Ke laughed and greeted Qin Mubai, "After a few days on the road, I am tired. Everyone, let's go to this Xiangzhou cell, it's no problem."

Qin Mubai also smiled and said: "I wonder if there is good wine and meat?"

"I have never seen such a prisoner who knows nothing about life and death!" Wu Facao was furious, "take it away! It's good to take care of it!"

A group of government officials came forward and drove Qin Mubai and his party to the prison with water and fire sticks.

Zhao Chong turned his eyes for a while, and came forward to Wu Facao: "Brother Wu, I think something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"This group of people...are very awkward!" Zhao Chong said, "Where have you seen such a confident criminal? They followed their own home after they entered the yamen. They are about to go to prison, but they all have a face. The smile seems to mock us. It seems...they are not small!"

Wu Facao was taken aback for a moment: "How did you get these people?"

Zhao Chong explained what happened. Wu Facao was stunned for a while, then blinked his eyes and said: "Are you arresting people again to commit merits?"

"Bullshit!" Zhao Chong was angry. "It is clear that your subordinates have identified them as gangsters of the water ghosts. You asked us to help catch them. How can they come to us? That is the case, you will have trouble in the future. Hugh will trouble our military mansion again!" After that, Zhao Chong was about to leave.

"Hey hey hey, don't be impulsive, don't be angry, say something well..."

……

Qin Mubai and others waited for the prison, but they didn't feel wronged. Two or three people were separated into a cell, and apart from the smell, there was nothing else to suffer. The law of Datang prisons is unprecedentedly enlightened and humane. Except for a few bad ones, they turn a deaf ear to the law, and there are usually few incidents of prisoner abuse. Prisoners who have not been tried and convicted need not be shackled.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke are separated by only one cell, and they can talk while sitting with their backs together.

"My son, I didn't find anything unusual. I thought they would kill well, or they would collude with the water ghosts themselves, and they would kill us halfway. All the way, it was safe. "Qin Mubai said in a low voice, "In this way, they are at best dereliction of duty or carelessness. The possibility of collusion between officials and government officials and water ghosts is not very high."

Li Ke nodded lightly, and said: "It is still possible to determine whether the government, the military, and the water ghost are in collusion. But one thing is certain, at least they are not doing anything, even against the water ghost. They are more indulgent. Maybe they are used to these ills, and they don’t bother to take care of them. If they can catch a few of the most guilty messengers, they just grabbed it indiscriminately, and didn’t ask for it. You saw it just now. , These sergeants obviously just don’t work hard, and if they can waste less energy, they don’t waste much energy. Even if the wrong person is caught, they don’t bother to take care of so much, because the trial is a matter of yamen, and they can push it cleanly. In other words, the cooperation between the provincial governor and the military office in Xiangzhou is very poor, and each other is slacking off."

"The son really has eyes like a torch." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "The water ghosts have been rampant in Xiangzhou for decades and they have been inexhaustible. There are definitely many reasons. We also heard that the servant said before. , The water ghosts are also secretly'supported'. The inaction and negativity between the Yamen and the military government are not the tacit understanding between them? They dare not openly collude with the court against the Tang Dynasty, and secretly communicate with each other. It is possible to make money. Who can guarantee that there will be any interest exchanges between them?"

"So let's stay calm and wait for a while." Li Ke lightly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled confidently, "Actually, being a prisoner is pretty good, at least you can see a lot. We usually don't The situation arrived. Now we are in this prison, with constant response to changes, to see what tricks they can play."

"Alright." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "Master, is it fun to travel in a microservice? I think you enjoy it very much."

"Excitement!" Li Ke laughed haha.

"Laughing so happily, you won't be able to laugh for a while." Suddenly a cold voice came from the side, still a female voice.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke were stunned at the same time, and said in surprise: Who has such outstanding ears? Have we heard such a quiet conversation?

Xue Rengui on the side was surprised and said: "I don't think there is an expert in this cell!"

Qin Mubai's expression is even more strange: "This voice is so familiar-hey, who is talking to us?"

There was silence around for a while, and a fettered sound came from the left. In a cell in the innermost room, a faint voice came out: "It's really nowhere to meet in life, Mu Bai! Unexpectedly, after half a year, we met here in this way."

"Huh?" Qin Mubai was taken aback. He sat up and looked at the other side, and said in surprise, "Are you—— Chen Yan?!"

"Not bad." The voice said calmly, "It's me."
