Reborn from the bottom of the coffin, the miracle doctor and the ugly concubine fight against the wo

Cao Xuan did not dare to hide anything and explained the cause and effect to Murong Xiao in detail.

"Returning to the prince, our brothers were originally city defense soldiers stationed in Xining, and my eldest brother was the leading captain, with hundreds of people in charge.

A few months ago, Liangzhou City fell, and an enemy army invaded Xining. The young master of the commanding envoy refused to listen to the advice and insisted on going out of the city to hunt, but was captured by the enemy forces.

The enemy threatened us with the son's life to open the city gate, otherwise the commander would be killed. The eldest brother refused to open the door to protect the people in the city, resulting in the commander being killed.

The commander was furious and wanted to kill all the people who were guarding the city and bury him with him. My eldest brother refused and took us out of Xining and became deserters.

There were more than 500 people who escaped at the beginning. The commander sent troops to chase them on the way. When they fled to southern Shaanxi, less than 100 people were left. After entering Shu, some were gradually lost, and now there are only more than [-] people left. .

The eldest brother was afraid that he would not be able to protect the remaining brothers. Hearing rumors that the prince was secretly recruiting troops, he decided to take the risk and seek refuge with the prince. Since he did not know the reality of Yunzhou, he drove away a group of bandits who had committed many evil deeds and went to Tingyunguan Pass to try the guards. troops……"

"It was you that day?" When Murong Xiao heard this, he was suddenly startled and interrupted him, "I heard that there was a rebel army in Xining, and the leader was named Zhang Xingzhou. Was it you?"

"Yes." Cao Xuan's eyes turned red, and he suddenly knelt down in front of Murong Xiao, "Your Majesty, the rebellion was my and my eldest brother's idea. The other brothers had no choice but to flee with us. If Your Majesty can take in those brothers of ours, he will kill them." It doesn’t matter if you kill me and my eldest brother, I beg the prince to show mercy and give our desperate brothers a way to survive.”

Murong Xiao stood there, looking at him condescendingly, silently turning the black iron wrench in his hand.

If the deserter whom Xining's commander wants to kill is taken under his command, he will definitely arouse the suspicion of the imperial court and various forces. By then, he will no longer be able to hide his intention to rebel.

Although he has no intention of hiding it forever, the time is not yet ripe and the layout in the capital has not yet been completed. It is definitely not a wise move to expose his ambitions in advance.

Also, he had to be cautious about where the gossip Cao Xuan mentioned came from.

"Let's go, let's go back first." Murong Xiao didn't express any attitude and walked straight back.

Cao Xuan had no choice but to get up and follow him.

Back at Zhang Xingzhou's residence, the guard guard opened the door. When Murong Xiao went in and took a look, he became furious.

He was so exhausted looking for people that these three people actually fell asleep inside.

Especially Zhang Dahan, who was leaning on the chair and sleeping, drooling and snoring like thunder.

Hearing the noise, Xie Chengfeng, who was sleeping on the desk, woke up first. When he saw it was Murong Xiao, he yawned and stood up: "Your Majesty, don't be surprised. I haven't slept a wink all day and night."

Zhang Xingzhou woke up when he heard what he was saying and said apologetically: "Your Majesty, please don't be surprised. I was bleeding too much and was weak, so I accidentally fell asleep."

Zhang Dahan was still snoring. He woke up suddenly after being kicked by Xie Chengfeng. He was about to curse when he saw Murong Xiao and swallowed back the curse words. He chuckled and said, "The prince is back. Have you found the doctor?"

"..." Murong Xiao exhaled heavily and looked at the three of them one by one with a gloomy face.

Among the three people, only this fool cared about whether he had found someone, while the other two, who were more thoughtful, just apologized.

Did the two of them know from the beginning that he couldn't find anyone, and only this idiot was kept in the dark?

Murong Xiao considered it for a moment and asked the fool: "I would like to ask you, is that doctor a man or a woman?"

"It's a man!" Zhang Dahan replied without thinking, "Yesterday he and my elder brother came back on a horse. If she was a woman, my elder brother would have discovered her long ago."

"..." Zhang Xingzhou coughed twice, regretting that he had just been soft-hearted and didn't cut out his tongue.

King Jingnan did not hesitate to take risks and leave the fiefdom without authorization in order to pursue the woman. This shows how much he cares about the woman. This idiot actually sold him out with just one mouthful.

Zhang Xingzhou glanced at Murong Xiao from the corner of his eye, and sure enough he found that his face was a little darker.

At this time, besides insisting that the doctor is a man, what else can be done?

After Zhang Xingzhou coughed a few times, he gasped and said, "It's indeed a man. Dahan didn't lie. Please tell me."

Murong Xiao knew everything in his heart, but there was no evidence.

However, Xie Chengfeng also complained: "My lord, you see, I didn't lie to you. After we parted ways at the palace that day, I really never saw Wang...her again. Why don't you believe me?"

Murong Xiao was so angry that he lost his temper. At one moment he felt that he was overthinking, and at another moment he felt that these three people were working together to cover up Chu Zhao.

However, if these three people are lying, are the inn clerk and the old doctor also lying, and the silly elder sister who seems to have no intentions at first glance, is she also lying?

Murong Xiao thought about it, and if these people hadn't colluded collectively to confess, that ugly woman Chu Zhao had disguised herself so well that she deceived everyone.

hateful!

Damn woman, he wanted to see how long she could escape.

By the way, how did Chu Zhao obtain something like a human skin mask, which is expensive and cannot be sold openly?

Murong Xiao couldn't figure it out and sighed, having to admit that this arrest would end in failure again.

It was already a serious crime for him to leave the fiefdom without permission, and he came here secretly without telling the staff. If he never returned, if the staff realized something was wrong, there would definitely be another commotion.

Therefore, even if he couldn't catch Chu Zhao, he had to go back at night tonight.

As for people like Zhang Xingzhou...

He thought for a while and said to Zhang Xingzhou: "I already understand your situation, but I can't take you back to Yunzhou yet. If you really want to join me, just be patient and stay here for a while, and wait until the time is right. I will send someone to take you to Yunzhou."

Then he turned around and pointed at Beiyuan behind him: "Remember him, his name is Beiyuan. Apart from him, anyone who comes under the banner of my king cannot be trusted."

Zhang Xingzhou was a little disappointed that he could not go to Yunzhou immediately, but he also knew in his heart that King Jingnan was willing to accept them, which was already risking the disapproval of the world.

He got out of bed with difficulty and knelt down on one knee to Murong Xiao: "Zhang knelt down to thank the prince for his grace on behalf of more than 100 brothers. Please rest assured, the prince. We will definitely remember the prince's instructions and wait patiently for the prince's call. We are willing to do our best for the prince." , without hesitation."

"Okay." Murong Xiao nodded slightly, "I will send someone to send money and food. During this period, you will be responsible for suppressing the bandits in Tailai County, Qing Dynasty. Use the ones that can be used and cut down the ones that cannot be used. Remember one thing, Don’t harass innocent people.”

Zhang Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, his eye circles reddened unconsciously, and his blood seemed to be boiling in his chest: "I obey my orders, your lord, don't worry, the safety of the people of Tailai County is guaranteed by our brothers."

"Yes." Murong Xiao looked at him with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Since you have become my king's servant, you must be loyal to me and tell me everything you know. You can tell me now where that doctor has gone. ?"

"..."

Zhang Xingzhou and Xie Chengfeng both felt their hearts tremble.

No wonder he agreed so readily. It turned out that the carbine was waiting here!
