The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

Zu Zhao still had some doubts in his heart, Taiping Dao would not start planning an uprising at this time, which was not only inconsistent with history, but also inconsistent with the actual situation in reality. So what is the purpose of the giant deer side sending people to respond? Or could it be that someone is just using the guise of a great teacher to take advantage of the local believers in the Taiping Dao?

He stared at Wang Zheng coldly, knowing that although Wang Zheng was a key person, he knew only a little after all, and if he wanted to solve the doubts in his heart at this time, he could only find Deng Mao's whereabouts as soon as possible. Deng Mao, as one of the masterminds of this time, and a well-known Yellow Turban Thief Chief in the future, will inevitably know the inside story of this horse robbery case better.

"Where is Deng Mao now?"

"Huh? Deng Mao... Deng Mao... The villain really doesn't know..."

"You'll talk about it after you think clearly." Zu Zhao coldly interrupted the other party's words, walked to the other side of Wang Zheng as if strolling leisurely, and finally stopped on his toes in front of the short knife.

Deng Mao was in a cold sweat, mixed with wet ice water, and he was completely awake at this time. He kept thinking about how to answer this question in his mind, if he betrayed Deng Mao, he was afraid that there would definitely be no good fruit to eat in the future. Even if Deng Mao is arrested or dies, sooner or later, someone else will come to seek revenge for Deng Mao, day after day, this fear will never end. But if you don't say it, these people in front of you are definitely not good at stubble, and they are tortured alive, and this kind of pain is not terrible.

"Wang Zheng, if you dare to hide it again, no one will be able to protect you. As long as you are willing to say it now, it is to make meritorious service for your crimes, and our ancestors will protect you from nothing. You can even be rewarded with another amount of silver afterwards. Zu Zhan's mind was flexible, and in the moment Deng Mao hesitated, he expected what the other party was worried about, so he hurriedly added.

Zu Zhao glanced at Zu Zhan and didn't say anything. In fact, he also understands very well that once Wang Zheng hesitates and refuses to speak, it means that the other party must have some secret hidden in his heart. Although Zu Zhan provided another solution, for Zu Zhao, as long as he was sure that the other party knew Deng Mao's whereabouts, it was enough, and he definitely had a way to let him go.

Wang Zheng hesitated for a while, and wanted to speak several times, but finally stopped talking again.

Zu Zhao didn't wait any longer, he suddenly bent down and pulled out the short knife on the ground.

Only this one action surprised the audience by three points. And Wang Zheng was even more frightened.

"Spare your life, spare your life, I said... I say. But...... But even if the villain said it, I'm afraid I'm going to look for them... I'm afraid it's not easy..."Wang Zheng shouted in a hurry.

Zu Zhao didn't stop moving, he put the knife directly on the opponent's neck, and the blade had already cut a bloody mark.

"Listen, this is not an official office, and there will be no rumors if I kill you." He threatened in an emphatic tone.

"Yes, yes, villain... The villain doesn't dare..."

"Where is Deng Mao now?" Zu Zhao asked, his hand was getting harder, and more blood foam immediately oozed from Wang Zheng's neck.

"The villain... The villain only knew that Deng Mao said that at the beginning of next month, he asked the villain to send a cart of grain to a place thirty miles northeast of the county seat, and someone would answer. Villain...... This time the villain really didn't lie, and the villain was responsible for delivering food or something. Wang Zheng said almost in a mournful voice.

Several children of the ancestral family around couldn't help but whisper.

"Thirty miles northeast? What is the place? "

If our county is to the northeast, then we will almost reach Lulongsai."

"Stupid, it's not our county seat, it's Lingzhi County thirty miles northeast."

"That's not really clear. I remember that a few years ago, there were people who went to business, and the east of Lingzhi County was probably a large forest land. "

Wang Zheng, and ask you again," after a moment of contemplation, Zu Zhao asked again quietly, "Where did you meet before the horse robbery?" "

Huh?" Wang Zheng secretly complained bitterly, he knew that the lord in front of him was really a powerful and ruthless character. Anyway, everything that should be said has been said, and what shouldn't be said has been said, and the horizontal and vertical have become like this, and the result will not change again in any case. "I've bumped heads twice before, once with too many people and once with not many people. All...... All in the wilderness northeast of the county. Hearing

this, the news that Zu Zhao wanted to know was basically already known.

"Look out for him." After saying this, he turned and left with the others.

Wang Zheng was still shouting behind him, begging Zu Zhao to give him a way to live.

Zu Zhao already had a plan in his heart, there is no benefit to this kind of rat generation, one more is not too much, and one less can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. He will not think about how to settle Wang Zheng, temporarily lock him up in Zhuang, or transfer him to Zu Fan for detention tomorrow, and wait until the whole matter has a successful conclusion, and then consider whether to fulfill Zu Zhan's promise.

Back in the side hall of the central hall, Zu Zhao did not sit down, he stood above the hall with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with scorching light, and his face was almost ruthless and resolute. The other uncles and children of the ancestral family who walked in after him were either standing or sitting, perhaps because the ancestral family had not encountered such things for a long time, and there were really too many unexpected places for the eldest prince's reaction in the past few days. Isn't it surprising that a young man who has never seen a gentle and elegant boy will show a side that is more urban than an adult?

"Eldest Prince, how should this matter be handled?" Zu Zhan stepped forward and asked solemnly.

"Early tomorrow morning, call someone to go to the county and report this matter to Ah Fan and County Lieutenant Wen." After pondering for a moment, Zu Zhao said unhurriedly.

Zu Zhan nodded, there was no objection, and it should be the same if he did things according to the rules.

"Don't mention Han Yigong just yet." Zu Zhao added a hint. He knew that Han Dang was still in a guilty position, so he was afraid that something unexpected would happen after informing the county lieutenant Wen.

"It's... Okay..."Zu Zhan didn't think much about it.

"In addition, the children of the village have been prepared for the past two days." Zu Zhao continued.

"Eldest prince, why don't you wait until the beginning of next month and take advantage of Wang Zheng's time to deliver food?" An uncle named Zu Ling suggested.

"Yes, we know where the thieves are hiding, but we don't know exactly where. Why not let Wang Zheng fish? Another kid chimed in.

Zu Zhan looked at Zu Zhao, and his expression also showed that he agreed with this statement.

"Today is only the twenty-seventh, and if you want to wait until next month, when Wang Zheng will deliver food, you will have to wait for three or five days at the earliest. If you are early, you will be suspicious, and if you are too late, you will also have a flaw. Now that Wang Zheng is detained by us, the news of his disappearance will soon reach the thieves, and not only will he not take the bait, but he will even slip away as soon as possible, and the clue that we have finally found will be broken again. Zu Zhao explained calmly.

After listening to Zu Zhao's analysis, everyone nodded thoughtfully, although this may not be a sure thing, but there is definitely this possibility, and the probability is not low.

Zu Zhan sighed secretly: The eldest prince really has insight.

At this time, Zu Ling asked: "What does the eldest prince mean, isn't it the sooner the better?"

Zu Zhao said in a calm voice: "That being said, there should be more or less arrangement. After meeting with Wen County Lieutenant and Ah Fan tomorrow, they will discuss the matter together. After all, it involves cross-county and cross-county, which must be indispensable to make preparations. It's best to start acting after two days, be sure to catch the thief off guard, and catch them all!

Zu Ling sighed, he was not much older than Zu Zhao, and his status was not as high as those uncles in the main house, but he had read for a few years, and he was also familiar with fencing and horse arching, so he had his own insight into this horse robbery. After listening to Zu Zhao's words, he still felt a little overbearing, so he couldn't help but say: "It's a big matter, otherwise it's okay to wait until dawn to ask the old man to make a conclusion."

Zu Zhao said without hesitation: "I want to ask my grandfather for advice on this matter." However, I believe that even Ah Gong will not have any objections to the preparations that should be made. That's it for now. The

people said nothing more, but exchanged their heads and talked about each other.

Zu Zhao called Zu Zhan and Zu Ji to the porch outside the house and said to them: "This matter is very sudden, and I heard what Han Yigong said, he found Wang Zheng in the market. People come and go in the market, and I am afraid that there will be ears of the wall. As I said earlier, if these thieves are to be brought to justice, they must be swift.

Zu Ji didn't think too much, nodded vigorously, looked serious, and said, "What the eldest prince said is right.

Zu Zhan was a little puzzled and asked, "If so, should the eldest prince plan to act early tomorrow morning?"

Zu Zhao shook his head and said: "It's not that my Zujiazhuang is incapable of doing this, it's just that the village is crossing the border to catch thieves with such fanfare, which is too ostentatious." Therefore, this matter must have the support of the county government. It will take at least a day or two to report the matter to the county government after dawn, and then arrange it as appropriate.

Zu Zhan nodded in agreement, but Zu Ji was a little puzzled.

After a pause, Zu Zhao said again: "After dawn, Ah Ji, you go to Lingzhi, find Ah Cheng and Ah Zhong, and inform them of this matter. If Ah Cheng contacts the old man who is willing to help in Lingzhi, then let Ah Cheng go to investigate the situation first, even if he can't find the thief's hiding place, at least figure out the specific route.

Zu Zhan was worried: "What if Ah Cheng and them startle the snake?"

Zu Zhao said: "The team of people will also startle the snake, and it is more convenient to have fewer people." After all, you must have enough information to arrange and prepare in advance. Rushing forward, I am afraid that the time to search the thieves' den will be enough for these thieves to escape.

Although Zu Zhan didn't say anything more, there was still a little worry on his face.

Zu Zhao said again: "Ah Zhan, you will also go to Anyang Pavilion after dawn." There are a lot of thieves this time, and there are light and dark, and the more people who help at that time, the better.

Zu Zhan nodded approvingly, and responded, "I know." ------------------------
