Chapter 2823 The thief shouts to catch the thief
After hearing what the prefect said, the common people breathed a sigh of relief, and temporarily dispersed from the prefect's gate.
The magistrate was delighted, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and hurried back to report to Gao Qiu.
He and Gao Qiu repeatedly clasped their fists and saluted, "Gao Taiwei is really a man of God, his humble position is as you said, the people really dispersed."
Gao Qiu caressed him with a light smile, "Prefect Shi is being polite, these are all countermeasures that your prefect came up with, what does it have to do with me?"
"this?"
When the prefect Wen Bin raised his eyebrows, his head turned rapidly, thinking about the meaning of Gao Qiu's words.
Gao Qiu got up and said to him, "Okay, I still have important military affairs to deal with. The defense of the city is left to you. If these troublemakers dare to make trouble, delay the military plane, and shake the great cause of Qizhou City's resistance to the enemy, you All the magistrate’s yamen came to see me.”
"Yes, yes, I will definitely go all out!"
Shi Wenbin sent Gao Qiu away with a sad face, thinking in his heart, did he fall into Gao Qiu's trap?
As a captain, Gao Qiu came here to give him advice.
There is probably a Shenmen conspiracy in this.
He hurriedly called Zhu Ting and Lei Heng, two of his confidantes, and drank tea in the hall with a frowning look on their faces.
The two looked at each other, and asked him, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Wenbin shook his head and said, "I always feel that something is wrong. Tell me, have monsters really entered Qizhou City?"
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng frowned and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's true!"
Shi Wenbin's heart skipped a beat, wondering if it was really a fraud?
Zhu Ting said to him, "Our brother and Qi Guogong also know each other. He is the most famous and loyal person. It is absolutely impossible for him to use such a trick to let people unite with monsters to enter the city for the sake of attacking the city. Besides, even What they did. They just let the monsters kill and set fire, why do they have to compete with children?"
Lei Heng said, "That's right, our brothers have checked. Every home where children are lost has signs of human activity, and it is definitely not the work of monsters. Moreover, the brothers we went to investigate the disappearance of the case all left traces at the scene." There are traces of fighting in the blood. These signs are definitely not the work of monsters."
Shi Wenbin's head was sweating, and he screamed again and again, "Well, what should I do? What did Gao Qiu do, what exactly did he want to do?"
Just now, he asked all the children from the whole state to gather in the Wang's house.
Could it be that this is Gao Lian's wish.
He helped Gao Qiu to send these children to his door?
The more Shi Wenbin thought about it, the more frightened he became, secretly thinking that if something went wrong with these children.
The people in Zhoucheng must tear him apart.
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng lowered their heads, not daring to speak nonsense.
They said to Shi Wenbin, "Don't worry, my lord, our brothers will go to the Wang's house to check on the ground and see what the hell they are doing inside!"
Shi Wenbin said anxiously, "Okay, okay, if you find any problems, you don't have to report to me, you can do things cheaply, and you must keep the safety of our children in the state capital."
"Impressive order!"
After receiving the order, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng left the hall immediately, ordered hundreds of horsemen and infantry at the Yamen, and went to the Wang family's courtyard.
There are layers of soldiers and horses guarding the gate of Wang's house.
There were at least over [-] people, and they were all equipped with swords, guns and arrows, and looked around eagerly.
The people in the city have sent their children inside one after another as the magistrate said.
Zhu Ting and Lei Heng approached less than [-] meters away, when they were stopped by a sergeant and ordered, "No approaching within [-] meters of this place, go back immediately!"
"We are here to maintain order at the scene under the order of the magistrate."
Zhu Tong replied.
The sergeant said disdainfully, "The magistrate is a fart, we have taken over all of this place. Anyone who dares to make trouble will be punished as a traitor. Go back immediately, or we will be rude to you!"
As soon as he raised his hand, thousands of archers immediately bent their bows and set their arrows.
"Grandpa, do you think we are afraid of you?"
With one stroke of the long knife in Lei Heng's hand, he and a group of horse infantry servants behind him all raised their swords and guns.
When the two sides were at war, Zhu Tong raised his hand and gave way, "Okay, they won't let us intervene, so we won't intervene. There is a restaurant here, let's go in and drink!"
He took a group of brothers to a nearby restaurant.
Lei Heng refused to accept, "Brother, this is our chassis, how can these outsiders be allowed to be unrestrained?"
Zhu Ting reminded, "We are here to investigate the case, not to find trouble. Let's go to the restaurant first, and the two of us will find a chance to enter the Wang's house later."
"It's cheaper for them!"
Lei Heng cursed, waved his hands and told his brothers, "Today we are hosts, and we invite brothers to drink. A group of people guards, and a group of people come in. After drinking, we will switch to another group!"
"it is good!"
"Thanks for the head!"
The yamen servants yelled happily, sat down at tables in the tavern, and immediately let Xiaoer serve good wine.
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng found a seat in the private room, and stared at the door of Wang's residence not far away.
The people in the whole state city all clapped in a long line to send their children here.
They felt that with the guarantee of the magistrate, this place should be the safest place.
If the Taoist baptized their children to drive away evil spirits, the evil spirits would not dare to harm their children.
Zhu Ting wondered, "You said that this Taoist catches demons as soon as he catches them. Why do you have to gather these children together?"
Lei Heng said, "Didn't the Taoist say that he wants to exorcise these children and pray for blessings?"
He poured wine for Zhu Ting.
Zhu Tong picked up the wine bowl and drank with him, shook his head and said, "No, there must be something wrong here. Even if this Taoist wants to pray for these children, there is no need to gather these children together."
"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I also think there is a problem. But they are so heavily guarded now, we can't get in?"
Lei Heng drank the wine with a helpless expression on his face.
Zhu Ting pointed to the soldiers outside and said, "I observed carefully just now. These soldiers work in two shifts. One shift changes defense, and the other rests. We can use this gap to find an opportunity to sneak in during the night."
Lei Heng frowned and said, "If we do this, once someone finds out, we will completely offend Captain Gao."
Zhu Ting said, "If you offend, you will offend. We can't just watch the people of Qizhou City suffer, right?"
Lei Heng knocked on the table and said, "That's right, I listen to my elder brother."
He and Zhu Tong waited in the restaurant until dark, and found someone to get the uniforms worn by the soldiers outside.
After the two of them replaced, they went out at night and mixed in with the soldiers.
When it was time to change defenses, he followed a group of soldiers into the Wang's house.
Inside this house, there is also one person per five steps and one guard per ten steps. The guards are very strict.
Lei Heng and Zhu Dian are well-cultivated people, so they easily jumped onto the roof and found the highest place to observe the backyard.
The Wang family is a big family in Qizhou. This house is huge, with a lawn in the backyard. It is a place where the Wang family's nephews usually practice martial arts with archery and horseback riding.
Right now inside the mansion, only the backyard is brightly lit.
In the center, a ritual altar with a height of more than ten meters has been built.
All the children sat around the altar, and there were more than ten thousand of them.
