Chapter 145 Everything starts from scratch
Chang'an is still prosperous, but something seems to be brewing under this prosperity. As Cheng Yaojin conveyed the news back to Chang'an, Li Shimin was very angry and immediately asked the soldiers to detain all the Western Turkic envoys.
Although Cheng Yaojin and the other two who were still in Changfeng County already knew the bandits, there was no trace of them. Now Chang'an City has destroyed Jie Li Khan and is afraid that the Turkic people will rekindle, so they moved most of the Turkic nobles around Chang'an. If Tu Wentai, who was kidnapped by the Western Turks, would find the hidden bandits within this large area of the Turkic people, it would be difficult to find a needle in a haystack.
Cheng Yaojin seemed to understand this point and ordered his subordinates to investigate all the Turks who had appeared near Changfeng Town in the past few days and hoped to find some clues from this, but since those Turks dared to take action in this place, they must have sufficient preparations, so how could they be discovered so easily?
At this time, a soldier hurriedly ran in and another strange child sent a letter. Cheng Yaojin opened the envelope and saw that it said, "Put the jewelry under a willow tree in the largest place outside the long pavilion ten miles away." Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but hesitate that they came to ask for the ransom or not. If they gave it, they would not put it back. If they didn't give it, they were afraid that they would be unfavorable to Qu Wentai. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
Xi Junmai said, "It seems that the bandits have not left here yet, but I think we should do as they say first, after all, people are in their hands." Cheng Yaojin nodded and now he can only do this. Fang Jun couldn't help but wonder: "If the other party is really a Turkic person, he would definitely not come here to get jewelry because their target is Tu Wentai. Will it attract our attention and let us pull the soldiers sent back and sneak away from our noses quietly." Cheng Yaojin and Xi Junmai couldn't help but think deeply if this is the case, then the efforts of the few days will be wasted, but if the bandits see that we have not transported jewelry, they will definitely not take any action.
Xi Junmai said, "Since that's the case, we put the jewelry there with great fanfare." Many soldiers outside Changfeng County were drawn back for some reason. Bu Yun brought the jewelry to Changting ten miles away. He saw a note in the pavilion that said "Put down the jewelry and leave." Although Bu Yun did not recognize these words, Fang Jun, who was dressed in a guard beside him, did not stay and left quickly.
I saw Fang Jun and others not leaving, but there were still many soldiers hiding here behind him. Bu Yun couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Fang Shaoqing, do you think the bandits will put the jewelry back to His Highness after they get the jewelry?" Fang Jun said softly: "No matter whether they release it or not, we will definitely rescue His Highness Gaochang." Seeing that the soldiers behind him were just three yamen runners who had changed into military uniforms, I wonder if Cheng Yaojin and Xi Junmai could rescue Tuo Wentai from the Turks this time.
Suddenly, Bu Yun, who was beside him, touched Fang Jun, "Fang Shaoqing, is that person the person we want to catch?" I saw that there was a young man wearing ordinary clothes outside the long pavilion, looking around and seeing that no one could help but feel relieved and slowly began to approach the big willow tree.
Fang Jun couldn't help but wonder why someone would come to rob Tu Wentai. It was an ordinary robber who was not a Turkic person. So why was Bu Lianshan so sure that Turkic people plundering Tu Wentai? Is there any change in the middle? But no matter what, this person must be caught.
But how could he take those two boxes of jewelry away by himself, will he have any accomplices? Fang Jun, who was preparing to take action, waited patiently. The young man came to the big willow tree and saw that there were indeed two big boxes. He lifted it up and looked at it and couldn't help but be ecstatic. The jewelry inside was enough to live comfortably for several lifetimes. Suddenly, he whistled and saw a mule cart coming not far away.
It took a lot of effort to bring two boxes of jewelry into the car and just about to leave the place, I suddenly saw many soldiers coming to him and whip and drive the mule forward. At this time, there were soldiers in front of me about to turn. At this time, the soldiers led by Fang Jun had already arrived. They wanted to abandon the car and escape. Suddenly, Bu Yun caught him. "You still want to escape", but the young man suddenly shouted: "Official, the young man did nothing, why did he catch me?"
Fang Jun stepped forward and asked, "Since you didn't commit any crime, what did you see us running away? What's your name? Why did you come here?" At this time, I saw the yamen runner beside him suddenly said, "Isn't this He Xing?" Fang Jun turned around and looked at the yamen runner, "Do you know him"?
The yamen runner said: "He is a native of Changfeng County who is addicted to gambling and often goes to the government office for committing crimes. Many of us know him." The yamen runners on the side also nodded in response. Fang Jun was even more confused at this time. According to this, this young man named He Xing should be from Changfeng County. Could he be one of the bandits, but he should not dare to kill people, judging by his appearance.
He Xing suddenly shouted, "Mr. Jun, it's unfair! The little one was just passing here and did not do anything that was harmful to the world." Fang Jun asked, "Then what are the two boxes behind you?" He Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes. Didn't they know that "there are all local specialties and nothing else?" Fang Jun couldn't help but sneer, "It seems that you won't say anything if you don't have to be punished. Take them away by everyone."
At this time, Cheng Yaojin and Xi Junmai went back quietly because they brought the soldiers. They didn't know what happened here at Fang Jun, but the surrounding area of Changfeng County was still as calm as ever and nothing special happened.
After returning to Changfeng County, he used a major punishment to He Xing and took everything. Three days ago, after losing all his money in the casino, he suddenly blocked his way home and said, "Do you want to make a fortune that you can't spend in your entire life?" He Xing was very short of money now and couldn't help but feel moved. He followed the big man's method and tricked two boxes of jewelry from Hu Shangs in the Western Regions three days later. Unexpectedly, he would be caught by Fang Jun and the others.
After hearing He Xing's words, Fang Jun suddenly thought of something and asked someone to go find Cheng Yaojin and Xi Jun to buy it. When they returned to Changfeng County, they saw Fang Jun saying, "Wrong, wrong." Cheng Yaojin asked with confusion: "Yiai, what did you say wrong?" Fang Jun said, "I mean we were wrong in the direction we were looking for. Now Tuo Wentai must have stopped Changfeng anymore." So he told the two of them that He Xing, who was caught outside the Changting today. Cheng Yaojin frowned and had a frown. If the bandits who robbed Tuo Wentai as Fang Jun said, had left here three days ago, even if they didn't eat or drink, they wouldn't be able to catch up with them, and they didn't know where they had escaped.
Xi Junmai couldn't help but say with a hint of annoyance: "Did the bandits just let the bandits leave our Tang Dynasty in a swagger?" At this time, Fang Jun couldn't help saying: "Maybe the matter is not that serious yet." At this time, Cheng Yaojin and Xi Junmai's eyes lit up and looked at him at the same time. Is there any way?
Fang Jun said: "Even if they had already escaped three days ago, we had arrived at that time, how could we not notice anything? And we have been searching around Changfeng County for so long without any clues. Are you unaware of it? If I guess right, they did not escape anywhere else but to Chang'an."
