Chapter 166 The perpetrator Dongfang Ming
Dongfang Ming first heard a familiar name mixed with the old man's words and asked with a strange look: "What's the name of that person?"
"The man said his name was Dongfang Ming, and he was from Zhongzhou. I don't know what official there is in Zhongzhou, so I only remember the name of that person."
"Is it the governor of Zhongzhou?" Dongfang Ming reported the official title that the emperor once had, and he didn't often tell me about it, and even he didn't remember it very much.
"Yes, yes! It's called the governor of Zhongzhou!" The old man nodded confidently, looking like his memory was awakened.
Dongfang Ming's face became even more strange, as if he had eaten shit.
Dongfang Ming has been following the army these days and has not left the army for a while.
They are all with the soldiers, and they are all obvious to all the soldiers.
Dongfang Ming had no motivation or time to kidnap the old man's daughter.
However, the old man described the person who snatched his daughter, all kinds of clues indicate that the man was Dongfang Ming!
Cui Ning stood leisurely with her arms folded, looking at the show, wanting to see how Dongfang Ming dealt with the current situation.
Of course, Cui Ning also understood that the person who sat down was definitely not Dongfang Ming, but she just wanted to see Dongfang Ming in trouble. When Dongfang Ming was worried, she would be happy.
Dongfang Ming and the others were shocked and puzzled, and the old man could not know, and he was still telling the whole thing on his own.
"I have an old widowed man, and I have no ability to save my daughter from the government army. And the group of people not only snatched my daughter. I heard that many people in the village were snatched from homes. We went to find the government in the town, and the county magistrate there said that he couldn't control it when he heard it, so he asked us to come back."
The old man said with a sad look: "The old man has no choice. I just heard someone in the village say that he saw an official army passing by our village, so I hurried over to see if I could ask all the officials to help me save my daughter!"
"This Master Qingtian, please save my daughter!" The old man saw that Dongfang Ming was the head of this army, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times to Dongfang Ming.
The road is rugged and full of gravel and gravel.
The old man knocked heavily on the ground, and blood marks appeared on his forehead. The old man seemed to be unable to detect it, and his face was full of tears.
Dongfang Ming could not see such a scene, so he quickly helped the old man up.
Dongfang Ming firmly promised the old man: "Old man, don't worry! I will definitely help you save your daughter!"
It is obvious that some people are using Dongfang Ming's name to do some despicable things. Those people's purpose is to ruin Dongfang Ming's reputation among the people.
But who would do this?
Dongfang Ming now has three main rivals, Yu Wen and the Yu Wen family behind him, Emperor and Dou Dejian.
Dongfang Ming and Yu Culture and this faction have had so many enemies. Yu Culture and are said to have a lot of motivation to do these things. As long as Dongfang Ming can be bad, why not do it?
But Dongfang Ming has now entered the hinterland of Hebei. This is Dou Dejian's territory. Can Yu Culture and his hands be so long? Extend it to Dou Dejian's sphere of influence?
If it was an emperor, the emperor would be generally the same as Yu Wenhua. Similarly, within Dou Dejian's sphere of influence, how could the emperor make such a big noise to trouble Dongfang Ming?
Even Yu Culture and the Emperor really cruelly, Dongfang Ming must ruin Dongfang Ming's reputation. Not to mention that this place is far away from Chang'an, and to act on the territory of hostile forces, the cost of spending will increase exponentially.
Dongfang Ming believes that anyone with a little brain won’t do such a thankless thing.
Then only Dou Dejian was left. The emperor sent Dongfang Ming to war. Although there were very few people and materials, the formation was very large.
Even the people of Hebei knew that Dongfang Ming, the hero who successfully defeated the Turks, was coming to Hebei to fight Dou Dejian, and they all cheered and excitedly.
Dou Dejian could not have known that Dongfang Ming was coming to fight against him with an army. Just by thinking about it, you can imagine that this army must have arrived in Hebei.
After so long, maybe Dou Dejian's case had already included various information obtained from Dongfang Ming's investigation since his birth.
The reason why Dou Dejian has not made any big moves may be because he doesn’t know how many people Dongfang Ming has brought and where he is.
Dongfang Ming arranged the marching route very carefully and was very cautious and always paid attention to hiding his tracks.
Dou Dejian should only guess where they are, without knowing the specifics.
Even when Dongfang Ming left Qingcheng, he had deliberately disguised Qingcheng as if nothing had happened. Soon after, Dou Dejian would find something strange.
However, what Dongfang Ming can be sure of is that the deeper he goes into Dou Dejian's power, the tighter the defense will be.
No matter how Dongfang Ming avoided it, sooner or later, the army with Dou Dejian will have the day to formally fight.
So does Dou Dejian have reason to deliberately let his troops pretend to be Dongfang Ming and go out to harass the people and corrupt Dongfang Ming's reputation?
After all, since the people of Hebei knew that Dongfang Ming was coming, Dongfang Ming's reputation among the people has risen. There is a vague trend of shaking Dou Dejian's rule.
No matter how Dongfang Ming is brainstorming, the most important thing at the moment is to find those people. Only by finding them can we save the old man’s daughter and figure out who is the person in charge behind those people.
Dongfang Ming asked the old man: "Old man, where have those people gone?"
The old man raised his hand and pointed in one direction. Dongfang Ming comforted the old man: "Old man, go home and wait for our good news! I will definitely save your daughter!"
After saying that, Dongfang Ming ran away with the army without looking back.
From beginning to end, no one dared to tell the old man that this very kind young man was called Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming ran wildly in the direction pointed by the old man. After running for a long time, he found a village in front.
Dongfang Ming brought people in and found that the village was full of dilapidated appearances.
Some people didn't close the door, and Dongfang Ming could see pots and pans all over the house from outside, looking like a mess.
It seems that this village has just been looted.
The village was full of dejected ordinary people, and they kept cursing.
Dongfang Ming went closer to listen, and only heard that the people were cursing Dongfang Ming. The cursing was very unpleasant. After a while, Dongfang Ming's ancestors had already cursed all over the 18th generation.
I Dongfang Ming was here, and I felt very uncomfortable and very painful when I heard it.
He quickly stepped up to interrupt the swearing people and asked with concern: "Brother, what happened to you here? I passed by here and looked like I was bandit?"
"Isn't it a bandit? Dongfang Ming, who is worse than killing a thousand swords, robbed our village! Forget it, snatch the things away, all the girls in the better-looking house were snatched away by those beasts!" The people who were asked were full of resentment, obviously still in anger.
It seems that those people who impersonate Dongfang Ming have also come to this place. They did the same thing as the village of the old man I met before, and ran away after looting the village.
