Chapter 367
The battle took about an hour and gradually subsided.
The bandits on Huangniugang were trapped on the top of the mountain. Seeing that the war on the river was defeated, they sought a breakthrough. They failed several times but failed. They were killed dozens of people by Hu Zong and sent several prisoners over.
Looking at the word "Wei Lu" on the captive's face, Cao Miao and Mrs. Sun exchanged glances.
The ink trace is very new and has only been stabbed in recent days.
Cao Miao rubbed his hands and asked Mrs. Sun aside. "You're going to review? I'm going to review?"
"You can judge." Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "I'll appreciate it too. Lu Hong and the others said it very well, and I haven't believed it very much."
"Yes, but you have to cooperate with me."
"OK."
Cao Miao returned to the prisoner, squatted down, patted the prisoner's face, and said in a Luoyang accent: "Do you know me?"
The captive beat Zero, widened his eyes and looked at Cao Miao in confusion.
Cao Miao smiled. "It seems that you are not the leader. Can you tell your official position? Team leader or what kind of leader?"
"Team leader." The captive swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "Changfengli, Changfeng Township, Qingshan Township, Anyang County, Wei County, Song 7 of the first battalion under the command of the former general Man Chong. Are you... that defected prince?"
"Yes." Cao Miao turned his back to Mrs. Sun, took out the waist sign from the school bureau from his arms, and said in a nearly whispering voice: "Do you know this?"
Shen Biao showed surprise. Just as he was about to speak, Cao Miao put away his waist sign, raised his fingers, and blocked his mouth. Shen Biao understood and nodded quietly, but tears burst out from his eyes.
"How many of you have, and who is the leader?"
"I don't know how many people there are. I only saw more than thirty people. The leader's surname is Ma, and his subordinates of the Qingzhou Governor Wang Ling have never seen them before."
"Who did you get assigned to after being captured? What did you do?"
"We were assigned to a woman named Quan Madam, who should be Quan Cong's subordinates. They were on the river, sometimes transporting goods, and sometimes robbing. A few days later, they were suddenly summoned to train a new tactic, saying that after performing this task, they could release us."
"Do you know where that auntie is?"
Shen Biao thought for a while. "It should be nearby. The news was transmitted back and forth three times during the day. The fastest one took only one and a half hours. It should not be too far away, and at most it would not exceed ten miles." Shen Biao said, and shed tears again. "Prince, Aunt Shen is not a human being. You must catch her, otherwise our village party will be in trouble."
"What kind of village party?"
"When the aunts choose people, they always look for fellow villagers or even brothers, one of whom goes to fight and the other is a qualifying. If the mission fails and we do not go back, the brothers of the village party who are hostages will be killed."
"Do Quan Cong know about this?"
"I don't know. I've never seen Quan Cong before. After being captured, I've been under the jurisdiction of Aunt Quan. I'm not allowed to ask. I guess it might be Quan Cong's subordinates."
Cao Miao understood and patted Shen Biao on the shoulder. "Stay Ansheng, I'll find an opportunity to save you."
Shen Biao nodded repeatedly. Cao Miao stood up, returned to Mrs. Sun, and told him what Shen Biao explained. Mrs. Sun didn't care about the result, but was very curious about how Cao Miao pried open Shen Biao's mouth so smoothly. Cao Miao took out the waist card and lit it in front of Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun took it and looked at it, rubbed her fingers, and suddenly smiled. "Forged?"
Cao Miao also smiled. "When I was still in Yongqiu, a school clerk went to assassinate me. I beat me up and ambushed me. I touched a waist card from him. I ordered someone to imitate one and leave it on my body for later use. I didn't expect it to be used today." He looked at Mrs. Sun curiously. "How do you know this is a forgery? I think my skills are okay."
"I've seen it really, and there's more than one piece." She thought for a while. "This Han Dong is probably in Wuchang now, so be careful."
"Take it seriously?" Cao Miao was "shocked".
"Someone has seen him, lost him, injured him, and died. This man is very smart and has good skills. The person from the School Bureau is not his opponent. He ran away after several rounds. Lu Yi was very annoyed."
Cao Miao stamped his feet and said, "The enemy's road is narrow! He appeared in Wuchang, maybe he came to me."
"I think so too." Mrs. Sun held back her laughter and picked up her helmet. "Let's go and catch all the aunties."
——
Mrs. Sun was out of nowhere.
Grandma Quan's ship was still there, but the person was missing. Jie Fanbing, who was surveillance, didn't know when she left or how she left. They only knew that the ship had been parked nearby, and had not even had contact with any ship, and no one had boarded or disembarked.
Mrs. Sun was furious, and her voice was harsh, and she almost drew her sword to slash people.
Cao Miao was very calm. He boarded the Grandmaster Quan's boat, looked inside and out, and finally stared at the lantern on the mast.
The lantern has been extinguished, but there is still a lot of oil in it.
Mrs. Sun quickly understood and asked Jie Fanbing when the lantern on the ship was extinguished and whether there were ships nearby. Jie Fanbing immediately said that the light was extinguished half an hour ago. They thought it was gone, so they picked it up and added oil, but they did not expect it to light up again. At that time, there was a ship nearby, coming from Huangniugang, but it did not stop and drove past the side. It was about ten feet away when it was closest.
Mrs. Sun immediately ordered someone to check. During this period, the river was blocked and all ships passed by were registered, especially those coming from near the Yellow Turban Hill.
Cao Miao had no hope for this. If the ship was just watching from a distance and had not entered the war zone, there would be no patrol records. All the aunt arranged so well that this flaw would not be left behind.
However, he was not in a hurry. Aunt Quan spent so much effort, invested dozens or even hundreds of plots, and naturally would not give up easily when she created such a big battle. If she didn't succeed this time, there must be a next time, and there will always be a time to catch her, and it won't be too long.
"Who is this aunt? She doesn't look like a gangster, but she looks like a bandit, and her methods are ruthless."
Mrs. Sun glanced at Cao Miao, and after a while, she said reluctantly: "You are right. She was originally Shanyue, a real bandit, and is said to be a great general. After the clan was captured by Quan Cong, she surrendered to her clan. Quan Cong saw that she was smart and capable, so she asked her to take charge of Xi Shifang."
"So, she still has family under Quan Cong's troops?"
Mrs. Sun frowned. "Why, you still want to ask Quan Cong for someone. Just relying on the confessions of a few Wei prisoners, plus the judgment of your surrendered person in Wei? Don't even think about it. If you continue to investigate the current evidence, you will only cause trouble and fall into the trap of some people."
"Who are some of the people you are talking about?"
"Those who want to turn Da Wu into Jiangdong people." Mrs. Sun sighed with a helpless expression. "They wish they could drive away all the foreigners, and all the power was controlled by Jiangdong people, preferably Wujun people, and even Kuaiji people were excluded."
