Efforts to kill the enemy is not as good as the full level of tea art

The two carriages were parked in the courtyard of the Garrison Mansion.

Li Changxing walked around the carriage, squatted down and took a closer look at the wheels, and finally lifted the tarpaulin to look inside.Zhuo Yue also approached, and in the first car were five bolts of red cloth, several small silver ornaments, two bolts of blue cloth and two boxes of tea.Zhang Laohei claimed that he had already paid off the consultation fee, so he didn't give anything to the caravan.There was still half a cart of horse fodder left in the second car, and the firecrackers that were discovered at that time were hidden in this half cart of horse fodder by the prairie people.

Li Changxing carefully looked at the contents of the first car, straightened up and said, "So the order of the caravan is, Lord Yan, Zhang Laohei, General Zhang Shen and Liu Fuyu, right?"

Wang Rong and Zhuo Yue beside him nodded.

Li Changxing leaned over, pinched a short stubble from the red cloth and handed it to Zhuo Yue: "Brother Zhuo, what do you think this is?"

Finally, Zhuo Yue squinted his eyes and took a closer look: "...it seems to be - grass dregs that fell from the horse feed?"

Li Changxing nodded, and touched the batches of red cloth with his hands: "The horse feed and cloth are packed separately, why is the cloth stained with stubble from the horse feed?"

Zhuo Yue was stunned. He bent down with Wang Rong to take a closer look, and he saw that the top two pieces of cloth were covered with a thin layer of grass residue, but if you didn't look carefully, you might think it was dust.

This was originally a trivial matter, but when Li Changxing asked specifically, Zhuo Yue couldn't answer: Yes, when these prairie people were packing in the inn, they all watched them, one car was loaded with furs and the other was packed Horse feed, and the cloth that was replaced by fur was not put in the same car with the feed. Why is there grass stubble on the cloth?

Li Changxing said calmly: "Because they got the firecrackers from a certain household, but they didn't want to put them in the first car that was frequently opened, so they moved some of the horse feed to the first car and hid the firecrackers in the first car." In the second car."

He paused, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "In this way, Liu Fuyu can be ruled out."

Zhuo Yue and Wang Rong were dumbfounded: "What? Why can Liu Fuyu be excluded?"

Li Changxing explained patiently: "If Liu Fuyu is the one who joins them, then the grassland man only needs to move down the horse feed he wants, and then put the firecrackers into the remaining feed. There is no need to move around. But If the horse feed has not been sent out, and if you get the firecracker that takes up more space, you have to make room for the second car to put down the firecracker.”

After hearing this, Zhuo Yue suddenly realized, and clapped his hands hard—that's right!If Liu Fuyu, who was last in the queue and asked for horse feed, was a traitor, there would be no need for the prairie people to bother about it.

He was so impressed, if there were no outsiders present, he really wanted to go up and touch the head of his little wolf cub.From a small stubble, you can see that something is wrong. Li Changxing's brain is really easy to use, so let him live up to it!

As if feeling Zhuo Yue's admiring gaze, Li Changxing pursed his lips and smiled at him, and tilted his head. He looked very much like a little wolf who showed the soft hair on his back ears to please his master.

While Zhuo Yue was admiring, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful—it would be great if Liu Fuyu was really a traitor, but who knows that he, who usually has bad conduct, is the first suspect to be ruled out this time.

So the rest are Master Yan, General Zhang Shen and Zhang Laohei, who are they?

Wang Rong was also very impressed: "Okay, now it becomes one of three choices. Third prince, do you want to call Zhang Hong and Zhang Laohei again to ask carefully? We can't invite the big Buddha of Mr. Yan, so let's go first." Let's judge these two."

Li Changxing shook his head: "No, let's go to the warehouse where the firecrackers are placed first."

During the war, a lot of ordnance was distributed among the tents and soldiers, and some swords and guns were engraved with the date of manufacture, the name of the craftsman, and the names of the soldiers.But firecrackers are special and expensive, and it is usually difficult to ensure that everyone has a handle, so the name will not be engraved on it, and it will be taken back into the warehouse for management when it is not in war.

When a few people came to the warehouse, Li Changxing held up the lock hanging outside and looked at it.As Zhang Hong said, the lock is a double-ended lock, and two people need to hold the key at the same time to open it.There is no trace of damage on the outside, and it seems that the person who took the firecracker did indeed open it with a key.

Li Changxing was thoughtful, and Wang Rong summoned a soldier in charge of the treasury and asked, "Is the key to open this lock kept by a fixed person?"

Xiao Bing said: "This lock is called Heaven and Earth Lock. There are four Earth Locks, and there are four leaders in charge of the warehouse, each of them has one. There is only one Sky Lock, which has always been kept by Mr. Zhang Hong."

"So, every time you open the door, you need Zhang Hong and the warehouse leader to be there at the same time?"

"It should be. Anyway, every time I open the warehouse, I see the two of them together."

Wang Rong sighed to Li Changxing and Zhuo Yue: "Why do I feel that the situation is getting more and more complicated? I thought that Liu Fuyu, who was directly in charge of the warehouse, was the most suspected, but now he is innocent. Now I find that opening the warehouse lock requires You need two keys to open it together, so could it be that there are two people who collude with the prairie people?"

Li Changxing shook his head. He went to the leader of the treasury on duty today and asked for the key. He held it in his hand and looked at it for a while before saying, "Brother Zhuo, Vice General Wang, let's go to the general's mansion."

"Ah?" Wang Rong wondered, "If you want to ask Zhang Hong for questioning, just ask him to come."

"Some details can only be obtained by going deep into the tiger's den."

Because of the time limit, the three of them didn't dare to stop, and immediately set off for the General's Mansion.By the time we arrived, it was already dark, the lamps were turned on in the hall, and the meal had already been delivered.

Under Li Changxing's instruction, Wang Rong showed the sign to the porter, and without waiting for the notification, he drove straight in and swaggered in.When Zhang Hong received the notification and rushed out to greet him, the three of them had already reached the middle hall.

The smell of rice came from the hall, and it seemed that they were eating.Zhang Hong ran out in a hurry, and when he saw the three of them, he was stunned, and forced a smile from the corner of his mouth: "Why, why is it so sudden, the officials didn't go out to greet them, it's really—"

Zhuo Yue and Wang Rong didn't know Li Changxing's intention of doing this, so they didn't say a word, but Li Changxing said with a smile: "I interrupted the general's dinner, but I really can't delay the official business."

He looked inside the hall with his head: "Is it convenient for us to go in? Is there a family member here?"

Zhang Hong repeatedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, they just avoid it." He let the three of them into the room.

A figure flashed past behind the screen, as if a family member had left in a hurry.There were two pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table, which seemed to be eating. The dishes were very rich, ranging from steamed white fish, Dongpo meat, roasted chicken with taro to stir-fried cabbage and cabbage in soup.

Zhang Hong hurriedly called his servants to clean up, but was stopped by Li Changxing: "It's okay, let's leave after asking. General Zhang Shen, can you bring the key to the warehouse with you? Can you let me have a look? "

Zhang Hong paused, then smiled and said, "Why do you need a few people to come here for this kind of thing? I'll send it over personally—"

Li Changxing twitched the corners of his mouth: "Time is tight, so we should make a trip."

He stared at Zhang Hong unblinkingly with emerald green pupils. Although there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, there was a faint cold light in the deepest part of his eyes, which made people feel cold all over his body: "Still, General Zhang's key is not Didn’t bring it with you? Do you need me to pick it up with you?”

Zhang Hong looked at him like a thorn felt, forced a smile and said: "No, no need, I have all the keys with me, just show it to you."

As he spoke, he took out a key with a red string tied at the end, and handed it to several people.

Li Changxing took it over and took a look, Zhuo Yue was also watching seriously, suddenly felt something was wrong: "General Zhang Shen, you only have this key?"

Zhang Hong laughed and said, "That's right, the key to the storeroom, how dare the officials mix it up randomly?"

"But your key is quite new." Zhuo Yue frowned, "The head of the key is still brand new. I think the keys of those warehouse managers have been worn black, especially the place where they are inserted into the lock cylinder. It stands to reason This key is the only one that opens the sky lock, your key should be more worn out than those other keys, right?"

Zhang Hong's face suddenly changed slightly.

Li Changxing chuckled, "Brother Zhuo is amazing."

Zhuo Yue glanced at him: "Hurry up and talk about something serious."

"General Zhang, why did you specially assign a key to deal with us?" Li Changxing looked at Zhang Hong with a livid face, "Isn't this the key to open the sky lock?"

The smile on Zhang Hong's face became more and more forced, but he still held on to the smile and said, "Third Prince, how dare I fool you? Just take this key back and try it, we must have misunderstood—"

"So it's true that this key can open the sky lock. But it's not the key you use most often, right?" Li Changxing raised his eyebrows slightly, "You specially made a key that can only open the sky lock, yes Afraid we know that the key you are used to can open the double locks of heaven and earth at the same time?"

Zhang Hong made a sudden stalk, and his fat Tuanyuan face twitched slightly.

Wang Rong clenched his fists and said anxiously: "Then, are those little soldiers just now lying? They clearly said that every time the warehouse door is opened, Zhang Hong and the warehouse manager must be present at the same time."

Zhuo Yue, who finally figured it out this time, rushed to explain: "The key of Kuguan can only open the ground lock, so Zhang Hong is required to be present. But if Zhang Hong can open the lock of heaven and earth at the same time, he doesn't need Kuguan when he wants to open the door." Here!"

The more Zhuo Yue thought about it, the more right he was, and he almost wanted to tear off Zhang Hong's hypocritical smile.

Looking back now, it was Zhang Hong himself who first reminded them that the Kumen had double locks!Pretending to be a lost general, he casually mentioned during the first interrogation that two keys must be present at the same time to open the heaven and earth lock.Xiaobing didn't know the mystery, but instead confirmed Zhang Hong's words from the side.

However, Zhang Hong was very secretive. He even keyed the spare key for the inspection in advance, but forgot to polish it to make it old.

If he hadn't intentionally used the maze of "Heaven and Earth Lock" to mislead a few people, he probably wouldn't be the first to be suspected.

I'm afraid this is cleverness and being misunderstood by cleverness.

Seeing that several people had seen through it, Zhang Hong stood stiffly, and forced a smile: "My key is a bit new, but the door of this warehouse is not usually opened. The third prince said that it can open the lock of heaven and earth at the same time." The key doesn't exist at all, and you can't convict the official by imagining..."

However, after Li Changxing said the previous words, he didn't bother to talk to him at all. At this time, he just played with the collar hair on Zhuo Yue's cloak leisurely, and directly ignored his arguments.

Zhang Hong: "..."

Wang Rong stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, General Zhang, no one will wrong you. But if I take your new key to the lock shop in the city and ask, do you think any locksmith will recognize you?" A newly assigned key?"

Zhang Hong was speechless.

Seeing that the matter was handled so smoothly, Wang Rong was also very happy. He waved his hand and said, "General Zhang Shen, come with me! Your mansion will also need to be searched later, forgive me."

Zhang Hong's expression turned extremely ugly. He stood still for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Vice General Wang, there's no need to do this, why is it so ugly? My brother-in-law is also familiar with General Lou. If you have anything to say, why not ask General Lou?" Come together, wouldn’t it be best if we make it clear?”

Is this moving out of his backer?Wang Rong sneered, and was about to tell him that he didn't have to be stubborn anymore, when he heard Li Changxing speak again.

Li Changxing walked to the table at some point, and was idly looking at the food on the table: "Today, General Zhang Shen is having dinner with his wife, right?"

Zhang Hong was already frightened by his question, he pursed the corners of his mouth and did not say a word.

"The virtuous couple really love each other deeply." Li Changxing said plainly, "But judging by your wife's appetite, it doesn't seem very good."

He glanced over the half-used table.A piece of fish, a piece of roast chicken, and two pieces of Dongpo meat were piled up in the bowl on the female side's side, but these meat dishes were just left there, and a chopstick was never used.

Li Changxing smiled coolly: "I have a bad appetite during confinement, and my mouth tastes bitter. I don't like meat, right? If that's the case, why does she like grassland dried mutton with a strong smell?"

At this time, Zhang Hong's complexion has completely turned gray.

Li Changxing sneered, and the gloom in the depths of his pupils finally showed undisguised, he looked at Zhang Hong as if he was looking at an ant: "Go back with Vice General Wang obediently, and be honest if you have anything to say. If you ruined the peace agreement between our two clans, even if your brother-in-law came to intercede in person, he would be crushed to death with one kick."

In just an hour, the peaceful and peaceful General's Mansion was surrounded by soldiers, the gate of the mansion was wide open, the fire was as bright as day, and the footsteps of the searchers running in and out were as fast as marching troops.

The cries of the female relatives were hoarse and exhausted, which was extremely miserable.Zhang Hong's wife staggered out regardless of the servants' obstruction, grabbed Zhang Hong's clothes to prevent him from leaving, knelt on the ground and cried out of breath.Zhang Hong no longer had that kind smiling face, his face was pale and dripping with cold sweat, his whole body was like a wet dough, his eyes were dim, and he held his wife's hand and couldn't help comforting him.

Zhuo Yue and Li Changxing stood on the steps not far away.Zhuo Yue crossed his shoulders and watched the life and death in that room, and sighed: "It's quite pitiful."

I heard that Zhang Hongsui is cunning, but he is very dedicated to this lady, and there is not even a concubine room in the mansion.

Otherwise, if you casually say that the jerky was bought for the side room, it will probably be perfunctory.

Li Changxing's face was normal, and he said casually, "What's so pitiful. The batch of firecrackers he sent out killed you in the previous life. I have a hundred ways to make his death worse."

Zhuo Yue was stunned.Yes, it was this batch of firecrackers that fell into the hands of the prairie people, and later killed him by chance.Speaking of which, Zhang Hong can be regarded as his enemy.

What's interesting is that he didn't even have the slightest impression of Zhang Hong in his previous life, and they didn't even take a photo of each other.I'm afraid that even Zhang Hong himself doesn't know what life will be lost on the battlefield due to his betrayal.

The entanglement of people's fate is really interesting.

"Brother Zhuo." Li Changxing called him suddenly.

"I have been hesitating about something in my mind for a long time, and I want to ask for your opinion."
