Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 160
The young servant didn't dare to delay, and said anxiously, "Madam told me to report to the official, I have to go quickly."

He Rui ignored it, he hurriedly turned his horse's head and rushed towards the depths of Lifang.

Qin Yi frowned, his heart was heavy, and he also drove to the depths.

He didn't expect that Ping Hongru would still fall into the trap of the Chixin Sect after day and night defense.

As a result, the speculation in his heart became more and more firm.

The real purpose of Chixinmen is to kill many people during the Lantern Festival.

And the assassination of Ping Hongru was just incidental, perhaps for the purpose of dismantling the government, so that when the conspiracy was launched, no one could stop it!
Now it seems that the opponent's strategy is being implemented step by step, and the crisis is gradually approaching.

And Ping Hongru is dead, who else can stop Chixinmen's conspiracy?
In Qin Yi's mind, there were endless thoughts.Not long after, he followed He Rui to the door of an extremely luxurious mansion.

Zhu Hong's gate was opened, and one could see many servant girls running back and forth in the courtyard inside, with panic-stricken faces.

Dismounting and handing the rope to a terrified servant, Qin Yi followed He Rui and came to the main hall. After asking the servant, he found out that Ping Hongru had died in the study.

When the two came to the study, they saw a bunch of family members gathered at the door, all crying in shock, and there were many nurses standing around, looking around in fear, worried that the damned assassin would Suddenly sprang out from which corner.

Xu Shi came here often, and many nursing homes recognized He Rui and never stopped him.

After expressing condolences to several family members of Ping Hongru, He Rui took Qin Yi into the study.

At this time, Ping Hongru's three wives and several direct descendants were all in the study, crying unceasingly.

He Rui didn't care about comforting him, he hurried to the desk and saw Ping Hongru's death.

Ping Hongru lay prone on the table, the back of his head was smashed to pieces by a blunt object, blood flowed all over his body, wet his clothes, it was already dry at this time, but still had a bloody smell.

In addition, there were also dried blood stains on the table, which was extremely frightening.

Qin Yi stood aside, frowning and watching. He didn't have the heart to step forward to take a closer look.

It is not necessary to guess that Ping Hongru died in the plot of Chixinmen.

Therefore, there is no need to investigate whether the other party smashed Ping Hongru to death, or stabbed him to death before smashing him to death.

No matter what, Ping Hongru is dead.

The dignified fourth-rank official died at home, and the many nursing homes and many government servants outside the workshop failed to play any role.

This made Qin Yi sigh secretly, the Chixin Sect is really bold and cruel!

What should I do next?
The government office will fall into a situation without a leader, and the garrison...you can ask the garrison for help!
Just as Qin Yi had this thought, He Rui said, "Let's go out."

Frowning, he walked outside the house, and He Rui said, "I want to go back to the government office to rectify the situation, so that the government office will not be paralyzed."

Qin Yi nodded.

"I hope it will work. If possible, I will let the head catcher lead someone to follow you to stop Chixinmen's conspiracy." He Rui added.

Qin Yi responded, "I'll go to the garrison camp and see if I can persuade them to martial law."

He Rui frowned, not very optimistic.

In the government office, in addition to the prefect, there are sometimes co-prefects or general judges. There are co-prefects in Yanluo Mansion, but some time ago, Liu Tongzhi returned home on leave.

If he came forward, it might really make the garrison martial law in Fucheng, but Qin Yi is a white man, so the possibility of mobilizing the garrison is zero.

The current situation can be said to be extremely difficult to deal with... He Rui's heart is getting heavier and heavier.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Ping Hongru for being too careless. He told him that Chixinmen would assassinate him, but he didn't know how to guard against it.

Wouldn't it be better to let the guards guard the mansion than to protect the courtyard?
Putting aside his miscellaneous thoughts, He Rui whispered, "I hope you will succeed."

……

At the hour of the hour, Qin Yi came outside the garrison camp.

There are only five hours left before Youshi, the time when the Lantern Festival will be held.

Before he approached, the camp guards shouted loudly, "Garrison camp, come and stop!"

Qin Yi stopped his horse and shouted loudly, "I'm a student of the Ce Academy. I'm here to find Mr. Lieutenant and report something."

The camp guard asked, "Do you have a warrant?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "I haven't received an order. If there is something important, please inform me."

The soldier snorted coldly, "If there is no warrant, leave quickly!"

Without an official position, and without orders from other officials, it is completely wishful thinking to see Mr. Captain!
Qin Yi frowned, and could only continue, "I really have something important to report to you, so please let me know. Don't delay!"

The soldiers looked ahead and ignored them.

Qin Yi sighed secretly, full of helplessness, turned around and was about to leave, but saw a group of people galloping towards the camp, the leader saw him here, waved the soldiers to stop, stepped forward and asked, "You Who are you waiting for and why are you here?"

Seeing that the other party was of extraordinary status, Qin Yi immediately replied, "I am Qin Yi, a student from the Academy of Policy Studies, who came to visit the mansion and was entrusted by the magistrate to investigate the case of the Chixin Gate, and found that there were lantern materials and gunpowder materials in the secret passage. I concluded that the Chixin Sect would bring disaster to the Yanluo Mansion during the Lantern Festival, so I came here to find the garrison for help."

Hearing this, the leader frowned sharply. He was the Qianhu, Zhang Tao, who led the team to encircle and suppress Chixin disciples.

So he is no stranger to this case.

After listening to what Qin Yi said, Zhang Tao understood the seriousness of the matter.

It involves many people in the prefecture, even if it is just guessing, it is much better than sloppy, so he immediately asked, "Did you inform the magistrate?"

Qin Yi's face darkened, he shook his head and said, "No, I wanted to tell Mr. Ping this morning, but how could I know...he died at home."

Zhang Tao was startled, and grabbed the rein tightly, "Really?"

Qin Yi nodded, "It's absolutely true, besides me, He Rui, the governor of the government office, also knows about this."

Zhang Tao frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the captain."

If Ping Hongru is still there, he has the order of the governor, can temporarily mobilize the garrison troops, and can order the garrison to go to the place where the lanterns are appreciated for martial law or investigation.

But now, Ping Hongru is dead, and the garrison cannot move without his orders.

If you want to take action, you can only send a letter to the governor to ask how to deal with it.

But this is extremely time consuming.

So at this time, it depends on whether the lieutenant of the garrison dares to bear the consequences.

Acting without instructions, if you can really break the Chixinmen's conspiracy, the rewards will definitely be huge.

But if it was just a false alarm and returned without success, then this operation, if manipulated by political opponents, will become a fault and be severely punished.

So Zhang Tao didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so he had to ask the captain.

Qin Yi nodded, stayed where he was, and watched Zhang Taochi enter the camp.

He has no idea what will happen next, so he can only wait on the spot to see if the garrison captain puts the overall situation first, or only cares about his own interests.
