Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills

Under the leadership of Chen Yi and Chen Er, Chu Tang came to the warehouse where the arrows were stored in the military supplies.

On the way here, he carefully observed the surrounding guards. They were very strict and meticulous. If there were no internal response and digging holes, he would never lose anything.

Chu Tang stood in front of the warehouse door and asked, "Who usually come here?"

Chen Er was afraid that Chen Yi would offend Chu Tang with his inability to speak, so he quickly answered, "Soldiers from the cavalry battalion, officials from the Military Supplies Department, and soldiers who are transporting military supplies here."

Chu Tang thought for a moment, "Are you sure there are only these three types of people?"

Chen Er nodded affirmatively, "That's them."

Chu Tang walked to the warehouse.

The warehouse was built with tents, and there were no signs of destruction around it. Arrows were bundled together and piled up in piles.

The fake firewood was piled up on one side. It should have been piled full of arrows, but now less than 10% of the firewood was piled up. It was ironic to look at it.

There is no trace of damage to the ground, and the possibility of tunneling can be ruled out.

Chu Tang walked around inside the tent, then walked outside and turned around again. The edge of the tent was pierced into the soil. The border guards had been stationed here for several years, and the surrounding soil was covered with grass. As long as the edge was damaged, it would definitely leave traces, but the result showed that there was no suspicious sign.

Through observation, Chu Tang came to a conclusion that the other party took the arrows from the warehouse in an upright manner.

How did you manage to take things openly and honestly without being seen by others?

Chu and Tang admire each other a little.

After thinking for a while, there was no clue, so Chu Tang asked Chen Yi to get the list of soldiers guarding the warehouse.

Chen Yi returned quickly, "Brother Chu, list."

Chu Tang only looked at the list of soldiers guarding the arrows, a total of 20 people, "Go and call that man named Li Qi, by the way, are you literate?"

Chen Yiying said, "literate."

Chu Tang gave the list to Chen Yi, "According to the names on the list, call people one by one, and I will question them later."

"Yes." Chen Yi took the list and went to make arrangements.

Li Qi was quickly called, "What do you want me to do?"

Chu Tang was asking in the warehouse where the arrows were stored, and a light flashed from his fingertips, "Are you an insider?"

Li Qi's heart tightened, don't blame him, he quickly said, "No."

Chu Tang waved to him, "Go out."

Li Qi felt baffled, but he had nothing to say, turned around and walked out.

When Chen Er saw this scene, he was even more inexplicable, and the way he looked at Chu Tang changed, as if he was looking at a kid making trouble, "Brother Chu, will they admit it if you ask me this way?"

Chu Tang didn't explain anything, just said, "Quickly call the second person in."

Chen Er really wanted to see what kind of medicine to buy in Chu Tang's gourd, so he actively responded, "I'll go right away."

Chu Tang only asked them the question "Are you an internal response?" None of the first seventeen were not. When the eighteenth was reached, they were asked, "I am!"

Chen Er, "..."

Is this person stupid? Can such a simple question be answered wrong?

When Qi Wu heard what he said, he was shocked and terrified, "I, I..." He wanted to deny it, but his tongue and consciousness just couldn't control him, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Chu Tang waved to him, "You stand aside, I will deal with you after I ask the last two questions."

The remaining two are also internal responses. If there are not more people, the theft will not be completed.

Chu Tang asked Chen Yi and Chen Er to tie up the other two. He will ask again later, but now he will ask Qi Wu first.

Chu Tang pulled the chair over and sat on it, "Qi Wu, when did you start working as an internal response? Why did you become an internal response? How do you cooperate with the other party? Who is the other party?"

Qi Wu's expression was full of entanglements and struggles, "Half a month ago, I was transferred to guard the arrow warehouse. That night, a masked man came to me and asked me to be an internal response."

"He gave me a hundred taels of silver and threatened me that if I didn't obey, he would kill my younger brother. My parents died one after another, and there was only this younger brother. After coercing and luring me, I agreed."

"When I need to cooperate, someone will come to tell me in advance and let me lead the soldiers guarding the door away, and I don't have to do anything else."

It's only been half a month for three people to be internal responders. If it takes longer, wouldn't everyone join the other party's camp?

Chu Tang clicked his tongue, the border guards are too corrupt, "When was the last time the other party came to you?"

Qi Wu calculated, "Five days ago, they stole a batch of arrows five days ago."

Chu Tang asked, "Do you know how they stole it?"

Qi Wu shook his head, "I don't know, I led the guards away, and I didn't see anything. In fact, I was also very puzzled."

He wanted to take the arrows out of the warehouse, even if he distracted the guards, there was no way to do it. Chu Tang felt the challenge, "Do you think the other party is someone you know?"

Qi Wu shook his head affirmatively, "No, the voice is very strange, but I know he is from this barracks, and he has the breath of a soldier on his body."

Chu Tang waved to him, "You stand aside." Then he pointed to the person next to Chen Yi, "Come here."

Chu Tang questioned all three of them in detail, and finally came to the conclusion that all three of them had the same mission—to lure the guards away. In addition, many people in the barracks were involved.

While thinking, Chu Tang glanced at the pile of firewood from the corner of his eye, "How did this get in here?"

The three replied in unison, "We don't know."

At this time, Chu Tang realized that there was one thing he had overlooked. So much firewood must have been brought in. From entering the barracks to putting it into the warehouse, it had to go through layers of inspections. If it was brought in, there was no doubt about it, which meant that the people in this row were already the opponent’s people. In addition, the arrows might have been swapped before they were put into the warehouse, and they might not have been stolen.

"Chen Yi, take me to the Military Supplies Department."

"Yes, Brother Chu."

The tent of the munitions department is set up at the entrance of the munitions warehouse, a large tent, and the adults of the munitions department all work in this place.

There were two guards at the entrance of the tent. When they saw Chu Tang approaching, they stretched out their hands to stop him, and said in a low voice, "Military Supplies Department, please leave quickly."

Chen Yi was about to step forward to say something, Chu Tang took out a token, "Can I go in now?"

When the two of them saw the token, they immediately lowered their arms and stepped aside, respectfully, "Please."

Chu Tang walked in.

In the tent, twelve officials were sitting behind their desks to work. No one spoke, and it was very quiet. The official on the front left saw Chu Tang and scolded, "Get out, this is not a place for you!"

Chu Tang stepped forward and patted the token on the opponent's table, "Isn't this lord guilty?"

When the officer saw the token, he staggered a bit, seeing that the token was like seeing General Chen himself, and he was free to enter and leave anywhere in the barracks.

For a moment, everyone looked at Chu Tang with full of inquiry.

The official took the token in his hand and looked at it. After confirming that it was true, his expression eased, "I don't know your identity, but if you are under the order of General Chen, the next officer will cooperate."

"Good attitude." Chu Tang put away the token, and at the same time, everyone felt their eyes flashed, "You should stand up by yourself."

Chen Yi Chen Er, "..."

Then they saw a shocking scene, all the officials on the right stood up, and when they understood, their faces turned pale.

Other officials, "..."

Chu Tang crossed his arms and said sternly, "Chen Yi, Chen Er, don't arrest them yet."

"Oh, oh..." The two stepped forward and tied him up as if they had just woken up from a dream, and then rushed to report to General Chen. After hearing about the incident, General Chen rushed over immediately.

"Chu Tang, are you sure you didn't wrong them?" General Chen couldn't believe that half of the officials in the Military Supplies Department were from the other party, which was beyond his imagination.

"I will never wrong anyone." Chu Tang said to the officials, "Whatever General Chen asks you, just say what you say."

After he finished speaking, he said to General Chen, "Leave the matter here to General Chen. I'll ask the officials of the Military Supplies Department who were detained."

There are still two doubts here. Chai Huo only appeared after discovering that the arrow was stolen. How was the arrow stolen before? Where were the stolen arrows placed?

General Chen sighed, "You go."

Under the leadership of Chen Yi and Chen Er, Chu Tang came to the prison in Liangcheng.

Liang Cheng had Tang Jinghong's confidant Xi Zhaoping, and after a while of questioning, Chu Tang was going to meet this person.

The dungeon was dark and humid, and the smell was unpleasant and disgusting. Walking here, I felt uncomfortable all over, and when Chu Tang came, he caught up with someone who escaped from the prison.

The jailer yelled, "Block the gate, don't let them escape!"

Chu Tang took Chen Yi and Chen Er just to the gate. In front of them, there were seven or eight people who were about to escape from the prison, holding knives in their hands, looking extremely vicious, "Go away, or I will kill you!"

After Chu Tang held it with one hand, he stretched out his other hand and grabbed a wooden stick that was as thick as an arm next to him, turned it sideways, and patted it forward lightly.

The stick flew over, knocking back all the people who were about to escape, and then the wooden stick hit their heads, and they all lay down.

Chen Yi and Chen Er opened their mouths slightly, their internal strength must have reached its peak.

Seeing this scene, the person who was running to escape from the prison couldn't help but take a step back. Chu Tang looked at the gentle and innocent, but he was definitely a murderous monster.

The jailer rushed over, "I'll arrest you if you don't hang up!"

Between death and being caught, they chose to be caught. As long as they are alive, there is still hope.

But there is still someone who is not afraid of death. A round-faced man raised a knife and rushed towards Chu Tang, looking like he planned to die with Chu Tang.

Chen Yi and Chen Er stepped forward to protect Chu Tang.

Chu Tang grabbed the wooden stick in his hand again, and hit the round-faced man on the head at a speed that ordinary people couldn't react.

The body of the round-faced man stopped suddenly, his eyes widened, showing an incredible expression, blood flowed from his hair, after a while, his eyes slowly closed, and he fell to the ground dead.
