Chapter 151 Who is in prison

"But..." Mr. Huai Ming was suspicious, and walked back and forth: "You also saw the battle by the Cangshui River. Liang Tao fought in person, clearly using Zhao Mi as a bait to lure out those evil spirits. I don't like this kind of action." I feel that Zhao Mi is kept in the dark and knows nothing about it."

"Do you think Zhao Mi and Liang Tao colluded in private?" Mr. Jing Ming asked.

"I know, this idea is very absurd." Mr. Huai Ming thought over and over again: "Over the years, I have fought against Liang Tao three times, and I found that although this person is selfish and indulgent, he does not want to be bound by moral laws, but he still has plans. It's a bit deep, and it's hard for outsiders to see his intentions... Hey, strange, why does Zhao Mi look a bit like Liang Tao?"

"It is said that Liang Tao used his sword to patrol the territory back then, which shows that he once had actions to protect the common people and prosper the Dao." Mr. Jing Ming suddenly laughed: "It is said that Zhao Shu opened the altar to patrol the territory and exterminate the evil spirits in Qingyan County. Send someone to release the news?"

"I just want to take this opportunity to test the court of the Huaxu Kingdom and Liang Tao." Mr. Huai Ming stroked his beard lightly: "The Chongxuan Pavilion has deep roots and will not be easily brought down. It's just that I noticed that Liang Tao didn't seem to be I don’t intend to protect the rights and positions of the children of those aristocratic families.”

Mr. Jing Ming said, "Liang Tao has other plans."

"Could it be related to Zhao Shu?" Mr. Huai Ming asked: "Compared to Liang Tao, Zhao Shu's cultivation is not superior, let alone from Huaiyingguan."

"Yu Yuzuo just said that Zhao Mi saw through the "Earth Emperor Wutu Jing" he practiced, and even found out that I had added or deleted it." Mr. Jing Ming seemed to understand: "The last heir of the Houtu Palace is Tian. The founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty, Empress Yuan, brought her inheritance, which can be regarded as laying a part of the foundation for the Tianxia Dynasty to set up a tribute officer."

"You mean, Liang Tao has taken a fancy to the rituals and rituals that Zhao Mi is good at?" Mr. Huai Ming immediately understood: "With Liang Tao's cultivation, he can actually ascend to the sky long ago. He deliberately stays in the world, presumably for the long-term. The layout, while Zhao Mi is of great help to his future plans. Your cultivation base is higher than mine, and you have improved a lot over the years, so you should be able to see Liang Tao better than me."

"I can't say." Mr. Jing Ming shook his head and sighed: "Ever since my eyes were enlightened by Lord Dongdan Yuan, I have a vague feeling that the heavenly immortals are interfering with the world more and more frequently. .

Liang Tao's cultivation is as high as the sky, so he should have been aware of it early on, and his stay in the world and his secret arrangements are probably related to this.A person like him may not be willing to ascend to the cave and be among the immortals. If he can't open up a new world by himself, he would rather stay there. "

Mr. Huai Ming shook his head and laughed: "These cultivators eat the sun's essence, moonlight, and immortal grasses, live in beautiful mountains and rivers, and a blessed place with a beautiful shape. They take advantage of all the benefits and succeed in cultivation, and finally pat their buttocks and fly away. This is not enough. You have to meddle in the mortal world and treat the common people like a child's play!"

Mr. Jing Ming pressed the blindfold: "In my opinion, Zhao Mi should agree to medicine, salt and iron in exchange for maps. If you have the opportunity, you go down the mountain and see for yourself what kind of person Zhao Mi is. You can't always rely on others." Paraphrase."

"I already have that intention, but I still need to make some arrangements." Mr. Huai Ming nodded.

……

"It was you who instigated the other five people to kill the guards at night, and then led the crowd to escape from Caishi Mountain?"

Outside the prison city, hundreds of prisoners knelt on the muddy ground, all in ragged clothes, and almost all of them had scars from whipping.The first six were chained to heavy shackles and knelt in front of Zhao Mi.

"Why don't you speak?" Zhao Mi stared at the prisoner with the scar on his face. The other party looked stubborn and glared at Zhao Mi without saying a word.

Next to the prison city, Cao Cao raised his finger and drank: "Zhao Changshi is here in person, and you still don't answer? Do you want to taste the taste of a soldering iron?"

"If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you." The scar-faced prisoner looked arrogant: "I have been tortured in Jianjia Pass all these years!"

"Come here! Bring steel needles, I want to insert them into his nails one by one, and let him try what finger-to-heart is like!" Cao Cao, the prison city, yelled.

"Enough!" Zhao Mi snorted, "I'm still here to ask questions, it's not your turn to talk."

Cao Cao in the prison city was startled, and hurriedly bowed and bowed: "What a noble person Zhenminghou is, why do you have to work hard and worry about these lowly prisoners? They are all worthless goods. Use punishment!"

Glancing at that slick and flattering face, Zhao Mi suppressed his disgust and said coldly: "Now General Wei ordered me to guard the Jianjia Pass. I have the right to deal with all the affairs in the pass. I can tell."

"Yes, yes..." Prison City Cao Ju could only nod in response, not daring to refute.

Zhao Mi met with the second brother in secret before, and then summoned officials and soldiers to find out the location of the escaped prisoner, and instructed Zhang Liwei how to mobilize troops to surround him.

Except for a dozen or so recalcitrant prisoners who were killed in the battle, the leader of this group of escaped prisoners was taken down by Zhang Liwei. The rest found themselves surrounded, surrendered quickly, and were escorted back to Jianjia Pass.

"Are you exiled here because you were identified as a remnant of the rebel party?" Zhao Mi took the roster handed over by the prison city Cao Cao, rummaged through the identification and asked, "The purpose of escaping from Caishi Mountain is to go to Cangwu Ridge to join the rebels." party?"

"The remnants of the chaotic party? Hehe..." The scarred prisoner sneered with a bit of desolation.

"Aren't you?" Zhao Mi understood when he saw him like this.

The scar-faced prisoner knew that he was going to die, so he didn't hide it anymore. Wearing a heavy shackle, he stiffened his spine: "I'm just a fisherman outside Quartz City, because that damned Chu Mengchun was passing by on a boat and happened to see my wife. , so someone took her away forcibly. I couldn't fight for it, so I called a few friends to report to the government and redress her grievances. Unexpectedly, Chu Mengchun was the new county guard... I, I was charged with the crime of rebellion because of this. , was sent to exile!"

Speaking of emotion, the scar-faced prisoner couldn't help crying loudly, and several prisoners behind him also wept silently, they should be his friends.

Zhao Mi remained silent, and Cao Cao couldn't help reminding him, "Marquis Zhenming, these criminals are very cunning. They always talk about how they have been wronged, but they are all vicious, otherwise they would not kill the guards. Marquis Zhenming But don’t listen to their one-sided words!”

Before Zhao Mi could speak, the scar-faced prisoner roared with tears all over his face: "Kill me! I don't want to live anymore! If I had known today, I might as well go to Chiyundu and kill you gang of officials." Master, Master Jue killed everything!"

Seeing the scar-faced prisoner rushing forward with all his might and opening his mouth to bite, Zhao Mi's expression remained unchanged, and he flicked his fingers, causing the prisoner to faint immediately.

"These six people attacked and killed the guards, gathered together to flee, took them down, and hanged them." Zhao Mi looked dignified, raised his hands and swung his sleeves, and immediately soldiers escorted the six offenders away.

"Marquis Zhenming is really selfless in breaking the prison!" Seeing this, Cao Cao, the prison city, felt a little relieved.

"You don't need to say too much." Zhao Mi took the prison list, looked at He Dangguan who was coming from a distance, and asked, "Is the number clear?"

"The count is clear!" He Dangguan said: "There are three thousand five hundred and forty prisoners in the prison city."

"Oh?" Zhao Shu raised his eyebrows lightly, looked at the prison city of Cao Cao, and shook the roster in his hand: "It is clearly stated here that there are currently [-] prisoners in custody. Now there are more than [-] people missing. There is no other forced labor outside Guancheng, where do these prisoners go?"

Sweat beaded on the face of Cao Cao in prison city: "This... Please allow the villain to go and investigate again."

"What are you running for?" Seeing that Cao Cao was about to run away, He Dangguan grabbed him as soon as he stretched out his hand: "Marquis Zhenming hasn't let you go yet!"

Zhao Mi said with a blank expression, "I'll give you a chance to clarify where the other prisoners are going."

"Be, be gone by Gao Pinggong." Cao Cao in the prison city shook like a sieve.

"Why does Duke Gao Ping want the prisoners?" Zhao Mi asked again.

"I heard it was for the construction of the manor."

"After General Wei took over Jianjia Pass, why didn't you report it?" Zhao Mi asked with a frown.

Cao Cao in the prison city was so frightened that he wept: "The villain thinks that Lord Gao Ping has already told General Wei, so... I also ask Marquis Zhenming to forgive the crime of the villain, and the villain will go to ask Gao Pinggong to release the prisoner."

"What are you? If you ask, Gao Pinggong will let you go? You think too much of yourself!" Zhao Mi waved his hand: "Drag, behead, hang your head on the wall."

Cao Cao in the prison city was dragged away by soldiers, begging for mercy and howling all the way, which made people tremble.

At this time, a member of the army stepped forward, with a sense of awe, and asked in a low voice: "Zhao Changshi, is this too aggressive?"

Zhao Mi waved his hand: "This matter must not be ignored. I know what you are thinking. This prison city, Cao Yu, is left behind by Princess Gao Ping. I am afraid that I will have a quarrel with Gao Ping because of this. I don't know if I let the prisoner go without permission. bigger!

This prison city, Cao Cao, is in charge of the prisoners. He took the opportunity to investigate and co-operate with the pass city, sent out thousands of prisoners without permission, and even concealed them.

The fierce battle on the front line is in full swing, but the rear is still so negligent, how can this person not be killed?Not only do I want to kill him, but I also want to personally letter to Lord Gao Ping to get those two thousand prisoners back!Maybe I have to write a letter to participate in impeachment! "

"Zhao Changshi!" Another chief secretary hastily persuaded: "Gao Pinggong is the clan lord of the country. He has guarded Jianjiaguan for many years and has made great achievements. It is inappropriate to participate in impeachment rashly! I would like to personally persuade Gao Pinggong to know the benefits. , Let him release the prisoner."

"Then it's up to you!" Zhao Mi was also furious. He didn't expect Gao Pinggong to be so indulgent. He dared to ask for prisoners in order to build a manor. He completely forgot about the current situation of the two countries' war.

If it weren't for the important status of the lord's clan, Zhao Mi would have led his troops to kill Gao Pinggong long ago, lit the sky lantern and confiscated his family property!
Realizing that the anger was too much, Zhao Mi hurriedly adjusted his breath and concentrated his mind. Xuanzhu was promoted to the Crimson Palace. His cultivation base has improved a lot, but his emotions have also become more intense.

"Zhao Changshi, who do you want to appoint as the prison city Cao Cao?" Can Jun asked.

"No." Zhao Mi shook his head: "Now is the time to use the army. I plan to organize these criminals into an army. I have already written a letter to General Wei in advance. Whether it is successful or not, I should receive a reply tomorrow."

Joining the army said yes, and Zhao Mi said: "Winter is coming soon. Although Jianjiaguan is located in the south, when the north wind comes, it will inevitably be rainy and cold again. Give the prisoners some clothes. I remember There is still a batch in the warehouse. When they receive the clothes, they will rebuild the roster by the way, and the division will be rectified."

After arranging these things, Zhao Mi returned to the mansion, and Zhang Liwei happened to return from "patrol" to report the military situation.

"Tudun is good, and the speed of communication is as fast as flying." Zhao Mi took the list and glanced at it for a moment, his face uncertain.

Seeing that Zhao Mi was silent for a long time, Zhang Liwei had no choice but to ask, "I don't know what Zhao Changshi wants?"

"Chi Yundu really has a big appetite." Zhao Mi put the list on the table casually: "Drugs, salt and iron, these two things are very important, you want so much at once, you might as well just say it if you want me to die."

Zhang Liwei said: "If Zhao Changshi finds it difficult, he can arrange it several times."

"How many more times?" Zhao Mi laughed: "At the critical moment of the war, I sent Chi Yun several times to send urgent military supplies. Do you think everyone else is blind?"

Zhang Liwei had no choice but to say: "Zhao Changshi, Second Brother Yu told me that if you get the map of mountains and forests, you will benefit immensely in the future, while Chi Yundu's medicine, salt and iron, are just a temporary need, which one is more important, you Should be able to tell the difference."

Zhao Mi said: "It doesn't look like he said it, it should be a message to others."

"I don't know that."

Zhao Mi couldn't refute these words. Chi Yun was able to deploy people in Chengkuo Village, Qingyan County.

Especially Zhang Liwei, a brave leader of a village, can tell the distance between Honghuatan and Jianjiaguan. At that time, Zhao Shu concluded that Chiyundu must have drawn a complete and clear map of the mountains and forests over the years, which is why they are elusive. one of the keys.

Now General Wei sent a letter back, stating the difficulties of marching into the mountains, one of which is that the roads in the mountains are intricate and complicated.On the main road, Jiuli Kingdom has also set up a heavy fortress in the south, which is difficult to conquer in a short time. It is best to find a small road to bypass the flank attack.

The real battlefield is far from being as easy as the deduction at the Yingzhou Conference. It is difficult and dangerous for an army to travel through the mountains, and the burden of luggage slows down the process, not to mention the changes in solar terms and the amount of precipitation, which may make the road conditions different in four seasons. .

Moreover, according to General Wei's message, the Jiuli Kingdom is obviously also exploring the road in the mountains, and relying on a few barbarians who are good at trekking, they intend to forcibly forge a road, which has been noticed by the monks of Guanxi.

Right now, the two armies are trying to get around to each other's backs, and they are fighting to see who can go one step faster. Since Zhao Mi has the opportunity to get the map of the mountains and forests, he cannot afford to hesitate for too long.

"Such a large amount of salt and iron medicine cannot be taken from Jianjiaguan, and I can't explain it to others." Zhao Mi said helplessly: "I can withdraw it from the county and county behind Guanhou, and then I was 'robbed' in the middle of the transfer. "

"Then who should take it away?" Zhang Liwei asked.

"I'll arrange a few patrols for you, try to create a situation where Jiuli soldiers are approaching and harassing, and finally rob the goods and throw them on the head of Jiuli." Zhao Mi stared at Zhang Liwei and said: "I hope that by then Even Chi Yun can covertly respond, don't make it too difficult for me."
