I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 205: Thump Thump

Night fell in Yanghe City. The city gates had been closed before sunset. Under the west gate, besides the soldiers guarding the city, there were only Shen Xiaoye and others.

The captain who had accompanied them previously had already led his team back to the camp to rest, and someone else took over the evening search.

They worked for a long time but still couldn't find Wu Jiazi. The little black cat hung its head weakly. It turned out that too many people would affect the sense of smell.

In this respect, it is not as powerful as the mother leopard.

Shen Xiaoye stroked its fur to comfort it, and followed her uncle back to the house where they lived. Halfway there, someone came to report: "Guardian Xia and his men have arrived."

"Very good." Shen Changsui did not go back immediately, but patted Shen Xiaoye and turned to the mutton soup restaurant.

Bian Xian led the others and they all followed subconsciously.

The shop owner smiled happily and invited everyone to come in, but unfortunately his shop was not big, and it was half full after 10 to 20 people came in.

Shen Changsui ordered a bowl of mutton and naan pancakes from the store. After hearing everyone's quote, he said, "I'll buy all the cooked meat, soup, and pancakes. Brother Bian, can you find a few people to help deliver them?"

"Mr. Shen, it will cost a lot of money to buy them all." Mutton has always been precious, especially when it is cooked. It is even more expensive, plus the soup and cakes, it will cost several taels. Bian Xian couldn't help but remind him.

He smiled and said, "We don't eat every day, but this is to welcome Guard Xia and the others. We will be busy later, maybe until late at night."

When Bian Xian agreed, both the people who followed him and the shop owner were happy.

But in the blink of an eye, Shen Changsui signaled Shen Xiaoye to come out with him.

Outside the store, Taoist Master Hengxi pricked up his ears curiously to listen to what the uncle and nephew were whispering about.

"Xiao Ye, give me some of the silver you have on you. It's for the meat pie money for our team and Guard Xia." Shen Changsui whispered to her.

Shen Xiaoye paused as she reached into her bag. "Uncle, can you give some to the servants when you get back? I'm afraid one pot won't be enough."

"No, they have nothing to do with us." Shen Changsui took the silver and said, "Go next door and buy some wine, and warm everyone up after the search is finished in the evening."

Shen Xiaoye did as she was told. She did not notice that Taoist Master Hengxi, who had listened to the whole thing, shook his head and laughed, thinking that these two were still young and inexperienced.

They ignored the soldiers' eagerness to make achievements and were afraid that there would be nothing for them tonight.

And things turned out just as Taoist Hengxi had expected. When everyone gathered at the residence and had their fill and were about to report to the border military post, the other side actually sent their own soldiers to deliver a message.

When he saw Shen Changsui, he said, "Sir, our captain has gathered thirty-two suspicious persons in the city to the yamen, and we are here to ask you to identify them."

"Are you taking action before the curfew even starts?" Shen Changsui seemed a little surprised.

The guard said: "Since the border town has been under control, people are not allowed to walk around the streets when the guard time comes.

Moreover, most of the people living in the city were relatives of military households, with houses arranged in groups of ten households for each banner.

After the control, each flag officer also served as the leader of the group and was very familiar with the personnel in his group. "

Shen Changsui nodded. He had learned his lesson. Once martial law was implemented, the border town quickly entered a wartime state.

Each street and alley is assigned a small flagman who lives there to be in charge, so as to eliminate strangers as quickly as possible.

But to be on the safe side, he still took more than a dozen Ti riders including Xia Huwei, as well as Aruhan and Saihan whom he had just met, to identify the person.

At this stage, Shen Xiaoye was not in a position to get involved. While she was stroking her fur out of boredom, Taoist Master Hengxi suggested, "Let's go see Third Master Wang together? It's time for him to take his evening medicine."

"No, it's not convenient." Shen Xiaoye refused decisively. She was not his cousin, so there was no need for her to go.

Taoist Hengxi smiled and walked away. Little Black Cat asked, "There's nothing wrong with visiting a patient."

Shen Xiaoye: "There are differences between men and women."

The little black cat meowed and was speechless.

……

On the other side, Shen Changsui and others rushed to the yamen through the streets.

Captain Qi frowned slightly when he saw them coming in a group. After accepting the greetings, he said, "Captain Xia, Master Shen, you two can just follow me."

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Neither of them holds a higher official position than the other. Shen Changsui is even a commoner. Even if he is doing his job on imperial orders, he still has to abide by certain official rules.

But they had to take the two Dadas with them so they could identify the person.

Captain Qi did not comment and led them to the side yard. Under the courtyard wall which was lit with torches, there was a row of horse tie stones.

However, what was tied to the stone this time was not horses, but teenagers, more than thirty of them.

Some of these people squatted on the ground and dared not look up, some leaned against the vertical horse hitching stones nonchalantly, and some tried to hide their faces in the shadows when they saw Saihan.

But it was of little use, because Aruhhan and Saihan started to identify from two ends respectively, and there were people holding torches beside them.

When Saihan was about to approach the dodging man, the man gritted his teeth and took the initiative to say, "Captain Qi, I am the son of Wu Xian of Liangzhou."

Deng Deng Deng

Several people almost approached him at the same time. Shen Changsui waved to Aruhan, "Come and recognize him."

The reason why he didn't choose Saihan was that during the day, he found that this Khan of the grassland could hardly recognize people's faces.

“He looks like him, but also a little different.

I have only met him once." Aruhan approached, but was a little uncertain.

Qi Qianhu frowned again, "What about you?"

He pointed at Saihan, who said, “The eyebrows are different, and the nose has become higher.

But his height has not changed." He even raised his hand and pointed at the head of the Wu family boy.

Shen Changsui said: "He used to shave his eyebrows and draw them thin, but now he draws them into thick eyebrows with double eyelids.

You are very skilled and daring, constantly changing your residence in Yanghe City."

The last sentence was said to the boy from the Wu family with his shoulders slumped.

Moreover, he asked Qi Qianhu for a wet towel and handed it to him.

The Wu family kid sighed, obediently wiped off his rough eyebrows, and wiped the blackened face twice. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a boy with rosy lips and white teeth in front of everyone.

Suddenly, Shen Changsui threatened him, "Why did you arrest Deputy General Chai's son? Did you also design a plan to capture the others?"

"Well, I just used him to save my life." Under the gaze of several people in front of him, the Wu family kid spoke slowly:

"I planned for the other disciples, and then I worked together inside and outside to take everyone away."

"Who is the traitor?" Captain Qi was particularly good at grasping the key points.

The Wu family kid said, "It's mainly the servants of the Chai family. The next two are from the Lu family and the Yu family."

"Which military headquarters or guard post do you belong to to support your own people?" Shen Changsui approached and untied him from the horse-tying stone.

Guard Xia and his companions behind were also staring nervously.

"Not many. There are spies from several big families in Xuanda and Xinghe." The Wu kid told the truth. Guard Xia thought it was bad. His Majesty was going to go out of the border from Xinghe, so there must be more than one spy from the Wu family over there.

He clasped his fists towards Captain Qi and said, "Please prepare a few war horses. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, Shen Changsui and Qi Qianhu did the same thing and shook their heads.
