Chapter 43 Rescue Operation
Hong'er, who rushed over after hearing the sound, was startled, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
"Why are you panicking? Don't you see such things rarely? You are still so frivolous and have no progress." Meng Sanlang tied up Ji Yutang with a hemp rope, "This fake doctor who deceived people even came to my house. . You said you can just cheat money, but you are really greedy if you want to steal jewelry.”
Hong'er calmed down, picked up the fragments on the ground, and asked: "Master, how should I deal with this fake doctor?"
Meng Sanlang thought for a while: "Hong'er, when you just invited this fake doctor to come, did you see many people?"
Hong'er nodded repeatedly: "There were so many doctors surrounding him at that time, and I even waited in line for a while."
"It seems that we can't just deal with it casually. We have to think of a perfect solution." Meng Sanlang sighed and told Hong'er: "Consider this liar lucky, so I won't do anything. You go find Blacksmith Wang and ask him Why don't you do this dirty work with me?"
"Take, what are you bringing?" Hong'er's voice was trembling.
Meng Sanlang smiled fiercely: "If you tell him, he will understand. Go ahead, be careful, don't let others see anything unusual."
Hong'er looked at the fainted Ji Yutang, gritted her teeth and went out.
On the other side, the others who were ambushing near Osmanthus Alley were waiting hard for Ji Yutang's signal.
"It's been so long since there's been any movement, can something happen?" Xie Huaichu felt uneasy.
Lu Zhengdao: "Wait a little longer. Lady Ji said to wait for her signal before taking action."
"Master Lu, I think we can't wait any longer." Xie Huaichu made a move to take action, but was held down by Lu Zheng.
"Xiao Xie, I know you are anxious, but in the end, don't take too large-scale actions, or you will alert the snake. Meng Sanlang's house is surrounded on all sides, and it is difficult for him to fly. Besides, Lady Ji's disguise is very good, she will not be exposed. , nothing will happen.”
Xie Huaichu shook his head. He felt that Ji Yutang took too long to go in. He would take someone in immediately to check the situation no matter what.
Just when the two were entangled, Hong'er walked out. Her expression was extremely unnatural, she looked left and right in a panic, and when she walked she stepped one foot deeper than the other.
Xie Huaichu and Lu Zheng carefully hid their figures and talked in low voices.
"This is the maid from Meng Sanlang's family. Why does she look so panicked?" Lu Zhengdao.
Xie Huaichu frowned: "Something's wrong. I think it's best to control her immediately and order the army to go in and control Meng Sanlang! Something must have happened to Lady Ji!"
Lu Zheng also realized something was wrong and waved to the soldiers to take down Hong'er at a deserted corner.
When Hong'er stumbled to the corner of the alley, Bianjing soldiers quickly took action, covering her mouth and dragging her to Lu Xie.
"As long as you cooperate with us truthfully, answer whatever we ask, and don't deliberately make any noise to alert Meng Sanlang, I will ensure that you are safe." Xie Huaichu asked her.
Hong'er looked around, her eyes fixed on Lu Zheng and the soldiers behind him, and her eyes lit up. She nodded repeatedly, eager to explain.
Xie Huaichu was a little confused, but when he looked at Lu Zheng and received his agreement, he let the soldiers let go.
He threatened Hong'er and said, "Don't make any mistakes. They are all wearing swords. If you don't cooperate, just pick up the sword and drop it." After the restraint was lifted, Hong'er gasped for air and pointed at Lu Zheng. He said excitedly: "I know, I know, you are Master Lu, you are a high-ranking official, you will definitely protect us, then I dare to say it."
Lu Zheng was flattered. Does he still have such charm? He asked Hong'er eagerly: "Where is the miracle doctor who went in just now? Why didn't she come out, but you ran out in a panic?"
"I came out just for this matter. I know that the miracle doctor is one of your people pretending to be a doctor! She is in very bad condition now. She was knocked unconscious by Meng Sanlang's medicine and tied up. Meng Sanlang asked me to go to Blacksmith Wang to inform him. Blacksmith Wang will take care of that miracle doctor, and he will most likely kill him and dismember him!”
Without saying a word, Xie Huaichu snatched the saber of the person next to him and rushed over, but Hong'er swooped down and grabbed him tightly.
"My lord, please don't be impulsive! The miracle doctor will be fine for the time being. Meng Sanlang didn't see through his identity. He just mistakenly thought he was a charlatan. He told me to ask Blacksmith Wang to take action. Although the situation is Emergency, not fatal Sir, Meng Sanlang is a very important person. If you rush in with a knife like this, you will alert the people who are connected with him. In this case, the plan that Madam Meng and I have been planning will come to nothing. ! ”
Lu Zheng patted Xie Huaichu on the shoulder: "Don't be impulsive. Hong'er is right. Although the situation is urgent, Lady Ji's life is not in danger for the time being. If you go in like this and alert others, you will let Lady Ji down this time." An adventure.”
‘Ms. Ji? It seems that the miracle doctor is a woman pretending to be? Hong'er's heart moved and she immediately understood the mystery. No wonder she treated many women while under the big locust tree.
"Even if there is no danger for the time being, we cannot delay it any longer. We must resolve the battle quickly and cannot wait for the incident to worsen. In this way, according to our previous plan, the troops will be divided into several groups to investigate the situation of nearby residents and provide cover. I will lead a few more The government soldiers pretended to conduct a population check Go to the door of Meng Sanlang's house to lure him out, and at the same time let a few skilled soldiers climb over the wall to rescue Mrs. Ji. Mr. Lu, please send someone to follow Hong'er to control Blacksmith Wang. We will do it at the same time. We must be quick and accurate to prevent it. Kill the grass and scare the snake," Xie Huaichu said.
Lu Zheng agreed and ordered the soldiers to divide into several teams and start taking action.
Xie Huaichu held a stack of documents under his arm and took two soldiers to knock on the door of Meng Sanlang's house.
After knocking for a few times but getting no response, Xie Huaichu looked impatient and yelled in an incompetent manner: "Where are the people in this family? Come out quickly, we're going to do a population check. If you don't come out, you have to go to Bianjing Mansion to register yourself." ! ”
He pretended to be like a person sent by the Bianjing government office to conduct interrogations in various places. In addition, the nearby residents were undergoing interrogations, so no one felt anything strange.
After a while, Meng Sanlang opened the door of the courtyard, still looking like a simple and honest man, he nodded and bowed and said: "Hello, everyone, thank you for your hard work. There are only me and my daughter in my house, plus a maid, a total of three people. ”
"Oh." Xie Huaichu looked impatient and opened the document to check.
Meng Sanlang humbly agreed. He didn't look as ferocious as before, he was a perfect face-changing master.
"Okay, I found it. Your name is Meng Sanlang, right?" Xie Huaichu took the document and compared it with his appearance.
"Yes yes yes."
"This interrogation is a big move. The superiors asked us to check carefully. Where are your daughter and maid? Call them out and compare." Xie Huaichu said.
"Oh, sir, isn't this good? My daughter hasn't left the cabinet yet, and she's still sick and can't get out of bed at all. Can you be accommodating?" Meng Sanlang looked troubled and took out a piece of silver from his arms. , diligently stuffed it into Xie Huaichu's hands.
Xie Huaichu knew that he could not refuse, nor could he insist on going in to check, as it would arouse Meng Sanlang's suspicion. Fortunately, while Meng Sanlang's attention was attracted, the two skilled soldiers Song Zi and Song Guo had already taken the opportunity to sneak in. So he took the money with a smile, praised Meng Sanlang for his foresight, and complained at the same time that other residents didn't understand the rules, delaying the two people who sneaked in.
But unfortunately, because the room was too dark, Pinecone and Pinecone searched for a long time but could not find the darkroom, and they could not find Ji Yutang's location.
