Chapter 35?? Decision
The south of the city is the location of the county government.
Pei Changhao was just curious, so he thought about going to the government office in the south of the city to take a look. As for what he wanted to see, he was not very clear. Anyway, he knew that it was impossible to enter the county government at will.
After looking at the county government from a distance, Pei Changhao turned around and left, calm and calm. At this moment, what he thought of was to go back to the inn earlier and ask about the servant's past in detail. From the face of the troupe's headmaster, he felt extraordinary. I am afraid that this servant who looks smart and poor, his origin is really not that simple.
Pei Changhao did not think about being a savior. He wanted to ensure his own safety and must be clear about the details of everyone around him.
The south gate is not very far from the county government. After two turns, you will arrive after walking dozens of meters.
There are not many pedestrians on Nanzhi Avenue. Unless they are people living in this area, no one will wander around here for no reason.
The county town of Wenchi County is not very large, but it is slightly larger than that of Huaiyuan County and has a little more people.
The south gate is right in front of you. Pei Changhao unconsciously accelerated his pace. Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, he could return to the inn early and prepare early tomorrow morning.
"Hey, why did they come here?"
Pei Changhao looked ahead, quickly lowered his head, and walked behind Luo Wenhua.
At the entrance of the south gate corridor, ten horse riders appeared. They headed towards the west of the city, including a young man, a middle-aged man, and a girl with a black veil, and the rest followed them.
These people obviously did not notice Pei Changhao, and they went straight toward the west direction of the city.
Seeing the ten riders leaving, Pei Changhao raised his head and looked thoughtful.
The servant beside Pei Changhao suddenly looked at a few people who looked hurried and headed towards the west of the city. The targets of these people seemed to be the ten horse-riding people.
A hatred appeared on the servant's face.
Luo Wenhua noticed everything. He originally wanted to ask Pei Changhao, but after looking at the servant, he refused to say anything.
Pei Changhao looked at the servant and spoke slowly.
"Do you know these people? Do you have any grudges against you?"
The servant looked at Pei Changhao and nodded vigorously.
"Langjun, I know these people. They are the official army. They all know the official army from Lingzhou, who have turned into ashes."
Pei Changhao's face changed a little. He looked at the servant and his expression became solemn.
"You really know these people. Are they really the official troops from Lingzhou?"
The servant nodded vigorously again, expressing absolute affirmation.
Lingzhou is the garrison of the Jiedushi. The official army from Lingzhou must be the Ya army of the Jiedushi. It is equivalent to the personal guard of the Jiedushi. It is the army that the Jiedushi trusts the most and has the strongest combat power. Wenchi belongs to the Lingzhou governor. Since it is the Ya army of the Jiedushi, when he comes to Wenchi County, he is the Supreme Emperor. Even the county magistrate dares to neglect these Ya army officers and soldiers.
But these sergeants of the Ya Army were wearing ordinary people's clothes and were also very secretive with the ten people riding horses. This was unreasonable.
Could it be that the Yajun, the governor, wanted to attack ten horse riders?
Before she could think too much, Pei Changhao quickly headed towards the south gate.
...
Back at the inn, Luo Wenhua brought the servant to Pei Changhao's room.
Su Chunhua had already set a rest room for the servant and had arranged dinner, and there was still one hour left.
Pei Changhao looked at the servant and spoke calmly.
"Tell me, what is your name, why did you become a servant in the opera troupe, where did your family go?"
The servant's body trembled slightly, and hesitated for a while before he slowly spoke.
"Mr. My husband is called Meng Daiping. He is from Lingzhou. All his parents were killed by the government army. My servant has no family."
Pei Changhao nodded slightly, not feeling strange.
"Well, I believe the troupe leader was lying in a pool of blood when he found you. If I had expected it well, you were protected by your parents and were not killed by the government army. But why did the government army kill your parents?"
Meng Daiping's tears have already flowed down.
"My parents do business in Lingzhou, stored some food, and made some money after selling it, but were targeted by the government army. In order to avoid disaster, their parents took them to escape from Lingzhou and prepared to go to Xiazhou. The government army did not let us go, and took action outside Wenchi City, killing their parents, and others who followed the escape. Only the servant saved their lives..."
Pei Changhao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So, among the people who appeared in the South Gate just now, are there anyone who killed your parents?"
Meng Daiping nodded vigorously and reached out to wipe away the tears from his face.
Pei Changhao sighed softly and waved at Meng Daiping.
"I understand, you go and rest first. After an hour, we will have dinner. Tomorrow we will leave Wenchi and go to Lingzhou. I can't help you with your revenge. If you want to avenge you, you don't have to follow me."
Meng Daiping knelt down with a thump.
"The servant is willing to follow Langjun, and he has no intention of taking revenge..."
After Meng Daiping left, Pei Changhao looked at Luo Wenhua.
"Brother Luo, do you have any questions? If you have any questions, just ask, I will say what I should say."
Luo Wenhua nodded.
"Brother Pei, do you know the ten people riding horses in the South Gate? Do you have any holidays with them?"
Pei Changhao shook his head slightly.
"I met two of them. It was in the desert. We couldn't be considered a holiday. However, there were some things. I hurriedly left Heluo Village and had a certain relationship with them. They were from Jinzhou. It was said that more than a month later, they should have gone back long ago, so why are they still staying in Wenchi County?"
Luo Wenhua widened his eyes.
"Brother Pei, have they been looking for you all the time?"
Pei Changhao looked at Luo Wenhua and shook his head decisively.
"It is unlikely that there is no such a big grudge between me and them, and we don't even know each other. Maybe they have something to do, and they have been delayed along the way..."
Luo Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since that's the case, it's easy to say. These ten horse riders won't live long. They are targeted by the military commander's Yajun. There is no chance of survival. They are too arrogant. Ten people and ten horses will be jealous of anyone who sees them. If the Yajun kills them, they will get ten war horses, and maybe they can get a lot of money. I just noticed that they are almost riding Hequ horses. Such war horses are at least sixty taels of silver in the market."
Pei Changhao frowned.
"Brother Luo, will the Yajun soldiers take action in Wenchi County?"
Before Pei Changhao finished speaking, Luo Wenhua shook his head.
"No, the sergeant of the Ya Army is not so brave yet. He dares to kill people in the city. In that case, the county magistrate will be angry and the Jiedushi will not come to Taiwan. The sergeant of the Ya Army must have been investigated. When these ten people leave Wenchi County, they will take action somewhere on the road. According to my expectations, to deal with ten people and ten horses, the sergeant will dispatch at least thirty people."
Luo Wenhua's words made Pei Changhao take a breath. Thirty people fought against ten people, and the power gap was huge. Moreover, the soldiers of the Ya Army had experienced fighting and all had blood, and they had good combat power.
The ending is obvious.
Seeing Pei Changhao's expression, Luo Wenhua spoke with a wry smile.
"Brother Pei, you don't have to worry too much. We will set out early tomorrow morning. This place is more than 100 miles away from Lingzhou City. We are faster. Before the sky is dark, we can pass Lingzhou City and find a place to rest. It is impossible to meet the sergeant of the Ya Army along the way."
The young man appeared in Pei Changhao's mind.
For some reason, Pei Changhao suddenly wanted to save these ten people and ten horses.
However, if you do this, you will take a huge risk. Thirty sergeants of the Orchid Army are enough to drink a pot. You should know that Wenchi County is not very far from Lingzhou Prefecture City. If there are sergeants of the Orchid Army going back to report the news, even if Pei Changhao puts a pair of wings, it will be difficult for him to escape the pursuit of the Orchid Army. If you want to rescue these ten people and ten horses cleanly, you will either kill all the thirty sergeants or surrender the officers in the Orchid Army.
Pei Changhao cannot do these two points at present.
Pei Changhao has had enough of the pain of no one around him.
Pei Changhao also thought of Meng Daijun.
It is impossible to say that Meng Daijun does not want to take revenge. Seeing his parents killed with his own eyes, the hatred in his heart can be imagined, but Meng Daiping is too young and has no ability to take revenge at all.
If Pei Changhao can help Meng Daiping take revenge, he will be able to get an absolutely loyal confidant.
Meng Daiping's ability is absolutely not bad. He lives in a merchant family and has known to observe words and expressions since he was a child and can also receive education. Merchants' families attach the most importance to the education of their children.
Just as Luo Wenhua got up and was about to leave, Pei Changhao spoke.
"Brother Luo, don't worry, I have something to discuss with you."
Luo Wenhua nodded, turned around and sat down, and looked at Pei Changhao.
"Brother Luo, I want to save these ten people and ten horses. What are you good at?"
Luo Wenhua's expression changed instantly.
"Brother Pei, you have to think about it. The other party is the Yajun, the governor. If you offend them, the next thing will be really difficult."
Pei Changhao nodded.
"I know this, but we can do it secretly. When the sergeant of the Yajun came to Wenchi County, it was impossible for all thirty people to arrive. As long as we kill those few people who investigated, the sergeant of the Yajun would not be able to ambush without information. We would be able to leave Wenchi County and Lingzhou without knowing it."
