The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Cao Zhen had met Li Shixian once before. That was when he was discussing the case with Xie Shuting in the front yamen, and Li Shixian happened to be next to them.

Now that we know that the "bandit" the shopkeeper was referring to is Li Shixian, the fate of Zhou Qing and Liu An is self-evident.

After Li Shixian unblocked everyone's acupuncture points, he quickly walked towards the city gate. Because the beggars who had gathered at the city gate before had left quietly at this moment.

Looking at Li Shixian's departing back, Zhou Qing said in annoyance, "Captain Cao! Do you know this man?"

"I met you once, and it seems you are a distinguished guest of the young lady."

"Miss!" Liu An said inwardly in shock.

Although he had never seen Xie Shuting's methods, he had heard Sun Cheng's advice that it was better not to offend the young lady than to offend anyone else.

At first he did not take it seriously, until the thirteen men were beaten to death on the execution platform, he finally realized what Sun Cheng meant.

Now that he had offended the young lady's benefactor for no apparent reason, Liu An could not help but feel a little worried and said, "Captain Cao... No, Brother Cao! Please help me put in a good word. Don't let the young lady know about this."

Zhou Qing also came to his senses at this moment, and he held Cao Zhen's hand and begged repeatedly, "Brother Cao! You have to help me, today this... yes, today this is all instigated by this shopkeeper."

"Me!~"

The shopkeeper pointed at himself and cried, "I didn't know! I am also concerned about the public security in the city. Please, Captain Cao..."

Cao Zhen's head was buzzing. Listening to the crowd crying and begging for mercy, he shouted helplessly, "Shut up."

Everyone was frightened and fell silent instantly, and the words they were about to say were held back in their stomachs.

Cao Zhen waved his hand helplessly and said, "You go back to the yamen first. I will tell the young lady about the matter. You can't be blamed."

"Thank you, Brother Cao. Thank you very much." Zhou Qing and Liu An thanked him repeatedly.

"Captain Cao! That kid..."

"You're fine too." Cao Zhen soothed softly.

After all, the other party's starting point is also for the sake of public security. If this person is really a spy sent by the bandits, it will pose a great threat to Laigu County.

In order to appease everyone, Cao Zhen said with a hint of encouragement: "Boss! You did the right thing today. If you find any suspicious people in the future, report them to this captain first."

"Yes, I will definitely keep it in mind." The shopkeeper agreed.

"Alright! Leave the rest to me. Those of you who need to leave the office should leave, and those who need to change shifts should change shifts. This matter ends here."

After Cao Zhen finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the crowd and led the yamen runners to quickly leave the tea stall, fearing that he would be surrounded by several people again if he left too late.

......

the other side.

On the Yongzhou official road, four carriages were moving slowly. As the last rays of morning glow faded away, a bright moon hung in the sky.

"Brother! Han Shanhu asked us to hand in our surrender within seven days. It's already the seventh day, why is there no merchant?"

"Brother! How about we go and rob a village, that way we can get things done right?" one of them said in a mean way.

Unexpectedly! As soon as he finished speaking, the man called Big Brother slapped him on the head.

"You bastard, we used to make a living from the land, and you actually let me rob the village. Are you a human being?"

The man who was scolded covered his forehead and said with grievance: "Brother! Don't we have any other options? Otherwise..."

"Brother! There are the sounds of horse hooves. Someone is coming."

As soon as the other person finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the official road.

"Gee, gee!~"

Soon, a man in tight clothes with the escort agency flag on his waist was seen passing by quickly on the official road.

When the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, the man dared to look up at the blurry figure on the official road and said, "I have waited for three days and finally caught a big fish."

"Brother, are you talking about the one who just passed by?"

"This man is dressed in tight clothes and has a flag on his body. He looks like a scout. There must be a large team behind him, otherwise they wouldn't be so cautious." The man pondered.

The bandits on both sides were eager to try after hearing this, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on their originally lost faces.

Just as everyone was delighted, the man said with a hint of confusion: "But why does that escort flag look familiar to me?"

"Look familiar? Big brother also served as a escort in the past?" someone asked in confusion.

After all, they were all native farmers. They would not have become bandits unless they could not survive. As for the other party's background, they knew it very well.

As for the big brother they were talking about, he was a hunter in the village named Qin Feng. He was not only strong but also a man who had rarely seen the world.

Otherwise, if this group of peasants were able to occupy the mountain and become the kings, they would have been swallowed up by other forces long ago.

What's more, they wanted to enter Yanzi Cliff, so they had to obey Hanshanhu's request for a letter of surrender.

While Qin Feng was thinking, he heard the sound of horse hooves on the official road again. The bandits immediately hunched over and lay down in the dense weeds.

While waiting for the fast horse to leave, Qin Feng immediately ordered: "Notify the brothers to get ready. We need to act quickly and ruthlessly."

"Yes!~" someone responded and quickly went down to notify.

Little did they know! Their every move had already been clearly detected by the person who had just galloped on horseback through clues.

"Drive!~"

Surprised, Song Zhen heard the sound of hurried horse hooves not far ahead. He raised his hand and said, "Stop the car."

Soon, a man with a dart flag on his waist was seen riding a fast horse and stopped in front of Song Zhen.

"Hey!~"

The man pulled the reins and stopped his horse, bowed and said, "Captain Escort! Did you find anything unusual fifteen miles ahead?"

"Fifteen miles ahead is the territory of Yanziya."

Song Zhen frowned and asked, "How many people are there?"

"Reporting to the escort leader! It was too dark and I couldn't see clearly. But according to the environment of the forest and the situation of startled birds, there are about 20 to 30 people according to the traces on the grass."

"Twenty or thirty people?"

Song Zhen pondered in confusion and said, "From what I know, there should be about fifty people gathered in Yanzi Cliff. They sent out half of them to block the road. It seems that the food in the mountain village has run out!"

Zhao Zhen in the carriage showed some strange expression when he heard this. When he thought of the escort agency's combat effectiveness in the ruined temple, he was obviously eager to give it a try.

"There are only 20 or 30 bandits. We can just kill them and it will be over."

Yan Shuang didn't know the escort agency's combat capability, but after hearing what Zhao Zhen said, he couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Sir! Follow the arrangements of Escort Leader Song."

Zhao Zhen ignored him completely, and leaned forward slightly and sighed: "Kejun! You didn't see what happened at the beginning..."

Before Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he heard Song Zhen shouting from outside the carriage, "Let's go, call Hewu."

Immediately the carriages and horses moved again, and the sounds of "Hewu" spread throughout the valley, startling the birds that were originally returning to their nests in the wilderness, and they flew away in panic.
