He specially picked out the two most useful captains around him to go down, and when they were leaving, he specifically reminded them: "No matter what Peng Derui says, as long as you don't kill him and he doesn't catch you, don't pay any attention to him. Just tell him directly that these people have been convicted of colluding with the Japanese and must be killed!"
Both captains were promoted by him and obeyed his orders. After hearing what he said and seeing his serious expression, they almost immediately answered in unison, "Yes."
The previous work has been done here.
He Liang knew his subordinates best. Each of them was no different from jackals, tigers and leopards. People always said that the county magistrate was a man who ruined his family and the prefect was a man who exterminated his clan, but in fact, sometimes the people working under him were even more terrifying.
He explained everything and thought carefully to make sure there was nothing missing before returning to report to Luo Yuan. He also asked Luo Yuan for advice: "Sir, everything has been arranged according to your wishes, but there are some things that I really don't understand. Please enlighten me."
Luo Yuan knew what he wanted to ask. He looked at the chessboard in front of him and said calmly, "It's just as you think. If you push them into a corner, they will naturally come out."
He Liang smiled and said yes, then looked at him and considered his words before saying, "What I mean is that I don't know if everything can go smoothly."
"No one can guarantee that everything will go smoothly." Luo Yuan was still calm. He threw away the chess piece in his hand and stood up. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky outside. He turned his head and looked at He Liang: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Now that we have done our best, the rest is up to fate. I hope God will be better to us."
He Liang swallowed his saliva.
He went back to see Huang Wenjie and told him about Luo Yuan's plan and attitude. The two men sat in silence for a while, and then began to resign themselves to their fate in fear.
Fortunately, God was kind to them. Late at night, the leader of the Jinyiwei who was sent out by Luo Yuan himself came back and brought excellent news - he met Shen Chen!
Huang Wenjie couldn't control himself at all, and asked uncontrollably: "Are you serious?!"
They had been looking for Shen Chen for more than half a month! But Shen Chen was extremely smart and had been hiding very well for such a long time, as if he had disappeared. They thought they could not find him.
But now, Shen Chen finally revealed his identity.
He Liang couldn't help but show his joy.
Luo Yuan was much calmer. He hummed and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"
He is a very cautious person and will not release the eagle until he sees the rabbit.
The head of the Jinyiwei hurriedly nodded vigorously, fearing that they would not believe him: "It is true, sir, I saw it with my own eyes."
He told the story of how he met Shen Chen: "I had people keep a close eye on Peng Derui and his men, and at the same time, I sent people to investigate the place where Peng Derui went that night. Finally, I found the trail - I found Liu Song, the imperial guard who followed the Marquis before!"
Liu Song who ran away with Shen Chen and the others!
They were the ones who did bad things that night!
Luo Yuan's expression finally changed: "Go on."
"Liu Song only appeared once in the village and then disappeared. We were afraid of alarming them, so we didn't dare to ask or look for him. We just waited in a house that the yamen runners had chosen. After nightfall, we finally saw Xue Song..."
Xuesong and the others also knew about it.
Xuesong came after Shen Chen got into trouble. At that time, he kept asking about Shen Chen's whereabouts and became suspicious. At first, Luo Yuan wanted to kill him.
But the cedar ran fast and failed.
After that, I couldn't find the cedar anymore.
It turned out that he had already reunited with Shen Chen.
Luo Yuan had a sneer on his face: "Now it's really complete."
He Liang was also very surprised: "That's right! It's true, either we can't find any, or we catch a whole bunch of them!"
As he spoke, he did not forget to flatter Luo Yuan: "Sir, thanks to your brilliant plan! You actually used Princess Shouning to lure out Shen Chen!"
Luo Yuan raised his hand to stop their flattery, turned his head to look at them, and said, "Mobilize troops. How many people can your Censor General mobilize?"
"More than 200 people!" He Liang responded immediately: "We can also send troops to the garrison. Just tell me how many people you need?"
"Just in case, one thousand people!" Luo Yuan stood up with a cold expression, "Don't underestimate Shen Chen. No matter what, it's better to be safe."
Of course, it is better to be safe.
But there must always be a reason for mobilizing troops.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to report to the authorities when the time comes.
He Liang was somewhat embarrassed and hesitant. He stood there for a while before he said softly, "I'm afraid that mobilizing so many people will give people something to talk about..."
Luo Yuan understood, sneered and said: "What if we investigate the Japanese pirates?"
He Liang's eyes lit up.
Huang Wenjie, who had been daring to speak, also clapped his hands and exclaimed: "What a good plan, superior! Yes, there were dozens of Japanese pirates in Chaocheng County before. These pirates are lurking in our territory. I don't know what they are doing. It is extremely dangerous. We received a tip-off that they want to kidnap the prisoners..."
Therefore, Luo Yuan had previously instructed them to bring Wei An out, because by then, Shen Chen would be the Japanese pirate, and those they wanted to rob would, of course, be the merchants who were captured for colluding with the Japanese pirates.
This way, it will be easier to deal with the aftermath when the time comes, and you can just do some casual work.
And the most important thing is that by then, even Peng Derui, the embarrassing sticky candy, will be thrown away. It really kills two birds with one stone!
He Liang understood, responded quickly, said goodbye to the two of them, and went to prepare.
Luo Yuan looked at Huang Wenjie and said, "Master Huang, please be more careful. These prisoners are of utmost importance. Don't make any mistakes."
Huang Wenjie quickly responded: "Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes..."
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Spread the news that the execution will be carried out tomorrow."
Shen Chen and the others had no choice.
Moreover, it seems that Shen Chen has feelings for Wei An, otherwise he would not have been able to hide his tracks.
The prison was humid. Wenxiu had just put on Wei An's cloak when she heard footsteps at the end. She glanced at Wei An and whispered, "Girl?"
Zhao Qi and Tan Xi, who were resting with their eyes closed, opened their eyes and looked in the direction of the person who came.
"Finally here." Wei An smiled and stood up, saying softly, "Let's go."
Wenxiu and Suping both stood up and followed her on both sides.
Zhao Qi, Tan Xi and others walked in front and strode out of the prison gate.
The jailer was a little scared - these people were really patient. They didn't ask them where they were going, and they weren't afraid that they were going to be beheaded.
He shook his head and quickly winked at the people on his left and right.
