Chapter 134: Trap
The escort leader followed the fat maid in a daze and finished off the enemy - it was not that he didn't want to fight, it was just that it was not his turn!
The fat maid was worth ten of them. Before he could rush over, the other person flew over and kicked him down.
Wow! Who is the escort master?
If he is so strong, is it necessary to ask them to escort him?
He chopped and was confused.
As the masked men killed more and more people and reinforcements appeared on their side, the fog in his mind grew thicker.
A thought that he didn't want to admit suddenly popped into his mind.
——They didn’t hire a bodyguard at all, they bought bait.
The reason they were hired was simply because someone needed bait to lure out these masked men.
It has nothing to do with their skills or reputation!
The facts were exactly as he thought.
Feng Qingsui had "broken up" with the Ji family, so it was naturally impossible for him to travel with the Ji family's guards, so he could only hire a bodyguard.
The escorts are of average skill, and the people in the dark won't take them seriously, and will definitely wait for an opportunity to attack them.
But it wasn't the masked men in front of her that she wanted to capture.
But it was the elusive leader.
She brought a peregrine falcon with her on this trip.
They walked on the ground, and peregrine falcons tracked them in the sky.
With the eyesight of a peregrine falcon, he can easily identify the leader who is secretly commanding the masked men.
Yan Chi and Zhu Ying, who are hiding in the dark and always paying attention to the movements of the peregrine falcon, can locate people based on the peregrine falcon's calls.
Things unfolded just as she planned.
Following the instructions of his master, Dai Sheng led his men to set up an ambush on the road, intending to annihilate Feng and his group in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, not long after the battle, reinforcements arrived from Feng's side.
He realized it was a trap and immediately abandoned all his subordinates and fled alone.
After escaping to a dense forest, they stopped because they thought they were safe.
Suddenly, a few bird calls were heard in the sky.
He subconsciously looked up, and the figure of a big bird came into his sight through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
Before he could tell whether it was an eagle or a falcon, he noticed that there was something wrong with the wind.
The wind in his ears stopped for a moment.
Someone just passed by.
As this thought came to his mind, he jumped up and leaped like a monkey to another branch.
He is very good at Qinggong and can be called the king of the jungle.
As long as they were in the forest, no one could be faster than him.
However, as soon as his toes touched another branch, he realized that his left leg had been hit by a hidden weapon.
when……
Darkness suddenly descended.
He didn't even have time to bite the poison sac in his mouth before his body fell from the branch.
"Bang--"
Birds in the forest are flying around in a rustling manner.
Whenever Gong Tingen goes out now, he always looks up at the sky.
See if there are any birds flying by.
Being showered with bird droppings is something that can leave a lasting impression on a person.
I never want to experience it again.
Seeing that the sky was clear, he felt relieved.
I walked forward for more than ten meters while humming a little tune, and suddenly I felt something sticky under my feet, so I lifted my feet to take a look.
There's a bunch of dog shit stuck to it.
“…”
He found a stone and scraped the dog shit off the soles of his boots before continuing on his way to the government office.
He didn't know if the smell came from his heart, but he still felt the smell of shit at the tip of his nose.
"They say stepping on dog shit brings you shitty luck. I stepped on dog shit today, so I should be able to have some good luck, right?"
He muttered to himself.
If we don't get lucky soon, the Pursuit Division will be abolished.
The Qiyun Temple case made His Majesty extremely angry, and he ordered them to solve the case within a month.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and he even offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, but still got nothing.
I'm almost going bald from worrying so much.
When he returned to the office, a Tiqi came up to him and said, "Sir, Lord Ji is here."
“!!!”
Ji Changqing, this guy, can’t even wait for half a month!
He gritted his teeth and walked into the office.
Let’s see how Ji Changqing wants to force him!
Unexpectedly, when Ji Changqing saw him, he opened his mouth and said, "Sir Gong, is the reward for the Qiyun Temple case still valid?"
He looked stunned.
It took a while to find my voice again.
"Of course it counts. Does Lord Ji have any clues?"
Ji Changqing dodged, revealing a gray-clothed man lying on the ground with his hands and feet bound. He said, "This is the leader of the Taoists at Qiyun Temple."
“!!!”
He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"How did you catch it?"
He didn't doubt it. Ji Changqing was the prime minister and would not bring anyone to him casually.
"My eldest sister-in-law spent a large sum of money and risked her life to lure him out. We have tortured the mastermind and found out it was Eunuch Dai. I suggest that Lord Gong arrest him first. It won't be too late to hear the details later."
Eunuch Dai?!
His jaw dropped again.
"The eunuch Dai who is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager?"
Ji Changqing raised his eyebrows: "Why, Master Gong doesn't dare to touch him?"
He was so angry that he almost cursed.
What are you provoking here!
How could he, the commander of the Pursuit Division, be afraid of a eunuch?
Not to mention the eunuchs who are in favor with the Empress Dowager, even the eunuchs who are in charge of writing beside His Majesty, if they commit such a heartless and tragic crime, he will arrest them!
He immediately dragged the man in gray into the torture room. Just as he was about to torture him, the man in gray woke up and confessed all the crimes committed by himself and Eunuch Dai.
he:"……"
This guy doesn't have any injuries on his body, why is he so honest?
What on earth did Ji Changqing do to this person?
They can get a confession without torture. No wonder Ji Changqing looks down on their Pursuit Department. He must copy this trick later.
Gray Man·Hoopoe: Who said they didn't torture him?! He was nearly tortured to death.
He took the confession, immediately ordered his men to rush to Dai's house.
Dai's house.
Eunuch Dai took advantage of the good sunshine and ordered his favorite huanghuali lounge chair to be moved to the courtyard.
He lay down on the chair with his eyes squinting, playing with the sachet on his waist while basking in the sun.
The sachet contained his life force which he had redeemed from the treasure room many years ago.
The treasure was originally air-dried, but he had it painted so that it could be preserved for a long time.
After taking two sips of tea, he thought that it was time for Dai Sheng to come back and report.
Dai Sheng brought all his men with him on this trip, which was more than enough to deal with a weak woman, an agile maid and a team of ordinary bodyguards.
He spent several years to build up Qiyun Temple, but it was destroyed overnight by the Ji family.
I don’t know how much effort it would take to run another one.
He didn't have many longevity pills in his hand. If he couldn't get more after eating them, all the longevity pills he had eaten before would be wasted.
The Ji family had harmed him to this extent, how could he let them off easily?
After killing Feng, he would also kill Ji Changqing and his mother, and even Ji Hongde's lineage, he would kill them all.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, burning him to the point of suffocating him.
"Come here, get the longevity pill."
Upon hearing this, the young eunuch specially rewarded to him by the Queen Mother hurried to the bedroom and took out the porcelain bottle containing the elixir.
He opened his palm and the eunuch poured a pill into it.
He raised his hand and was about to put the pill into his mouth when the eunuch guarding the door came running in in a panic.
"Eunuch, Commander Gong has brought people from the Pursuit Division and surrounded our house!"
"despair."
The pill in Eunuch Dai's hand fell to the ground.
