While Charlie Wang was still thinking about it, Song Wuzuo had already cleaned each corpse.
The purpose of cleaning was to check whether there were any other injuries on the body besides poisoning. , an hour later, Song Wu, who was sweating profusely, completed the autopsy, dressed the body, washed his hands, signaled to the outsiders to bury the body properly, and then slowly reported to Wang Charlie, "Sir, I have collected all the bodies.
After careful inspection, these beggars drank poison themselves before they were alive, and finally fell into a coma.
They died of poisoning.
After washing their bodies, no traces of scratching were found.
From this, it can be inferred that these beggars showed no signs of painful struggle before they died.
The poison they drank was a kind of slow-acting drug that I have never seen in my life. , there is no poison for internal bleeding.
Most of these beggars still smoke tobacco.”
"Do you have any other discoveries, sir?"
Charlie Wang asked.
"The strange thing is that everyone has calluses on the joints of their right index fingers.
In my humble opinion, I am afraid that the trade these beggars did during their lifetime is not an ordinary trade.
Who would use only their right finger for many years?
I feel ashamed and thought about it for a long time.
I can’t understand it,” Song Wuzuo said.
"Thank you sir for your work," Charlie Wang thanked.
"Sir, if there is nothing else, I would like to Just go back."
Song Wuzuo said in resignation.
"I ordered someone to take you back."
Wang Charlie immediately ordered the guards at the door, took a horse, and sent Song Wuzuo home.
I just heard Song Wuzuo say that the beggars' corpses had calluses on their right index fingers.
I felt something was wrong.
I wondered if it was just as the governor feared.
Lao Yanqiang and these beggars were spies sent by Wang Zhiyuan who had escaped.
If this is the case, I must quickly report to the two governors to eradicate Zhang Li and strengthen the defense of Wucheng.
So, he quickly left the city gate handover room and went straight to the camp.
Ever since his daughter entrusted Qingfeng to do something, Chen Tingting had lived with Xunwu and Wang Charlie in the camp.
Charlie Wang had not yet investigated the strange things and people that Charlie Wang talked about in the evening.
When Chen Tingting thought about it, he always felt uneasy.
He was tossing and turning in bed without any sleepiness.
Lying down was uncomfortable, so I simply turned on the lamp and read a book.
Suddenly, a dark figure outside the window approached his bedroom, and Chen Leiting asked gently, is it Charlie?"
A familiar voice replied, "My lord, I'm not asleep yet."
"The door is unlocked.
Come in by yourself," Chen Lei said.
Charlie Wang pushed the door open gently, walked in, turned around and closed the door.
"Have someone checked all the beggars' bodies during the day?"
Chen Leiting asked with concern.
"According to the command of the governor, I asked Song Wuzuo to read it carefully," Wang Charlie said.
"Song Wuzuo, this governor knows his name.
What he has seen must be correct.
Did he find anything?"
Chen Leiting asked.
"It was found that they had been poisoned with a rare poison.
They had calluses on their right index fingers," said Charlie Wang.

"It seems that the old smoker didn't tell you the truth.
He is probably the Huotou Army.
The other beggars who died were his colleagues when they were alive.
They are obviously spies sent to find out what is going on in our city."
Chen Leiting The thing he was most worried about finally happened.
He thought to himself that Wang Youyi, the ruler of Pingcheng, took advantage of the situation and robbed Wucheng.
Seeing that Wucheng was at war, he wanted to extend his hand to Wucheng as well.
"Captain, what are your concerns?"
Wang Charlie asked, interrupting Chen Tingting's thoughts.
"I judge that Wang Youyi, the commander of Pingcheng, may be sent to spy on our military situation.
He wants to extend his hands to Wucheng as well," Chen Leiting said to Charlie.
"We don't rule out this possibility.
It is also possible that Wang Zhiyuan really borrowed soldiers from Wang Youyi.
If he sent spies to infiltrate our Wucheng, then something serious would happen," said Charlie Wang.
"If Wang Zhiyuan really borrowed troops, looking at the quality of these beggars, what they borrowed is just a group of smokers and hooligans.
Our troops have no worries about dealing with them.
The only thing to do now is to quickly eradicate Zhang Li and his gang.
Tomorrow we will Gather most of the troops and attack Huashan the day after tomorrow to completely cut off this cancer," Chen Leiting said.
"We sent most of our troops to Huashan for encirclement and suppression.
Isn't it a bit risky?
The city is empty.
Once Wang Zhiyuan comes for a sneak attack, we may not be able to cope with it," Wang Charlie said worriedly.
"The cost of using troops lies in the danger and the stakes are high.
Let's discuss it with the deputy governor together before we discuss it."
Chen Tingting is well aware of internal and external troubles and must first resolve them.
Puff, puff, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
Chen Leiting and Charlie Wang knew that the person knocking on the door was none other than Xun Wu.
"Brother Xunwu, just come in," Wang Charlie said to the black figure outside the door.
Xunwu pushed the door open and said with a smile, "It's really difficult to hide it from you.
As soon as I arrived in front of the door, you knew it was me.
I'm awesome."
"It's not that we are great, it's that we all know that you are also concerned about the matter that Charlie is investigating," Chen Leiting said.
"Brother, how was the investigation of that matter?"
Xunwu asked.
Charlie Wang told Xunwu everything about the investigation and what he had just discussed with Chen Leiting.
"I wonder if the deputy governor supports my plan?"
Chen Leiting went straight to the point and asked Xunwu for his opinion.
"When it comes to military affairs and the use of troops, the two of us cannot compare with the Governor.
When internal worries are looming and external dangers are looming, alleviating internal worries should be the first choice.
I agree that the Governor's use of troops is at risk, and I feel that brother Charlie's concerns must also be considered.
I will compromise and send people to Licheng to borrow troops now to prevent the city from becoming empty," Xunwu said.
Charlie Wang and Chen Leiting laughed heartily together.
Charlie Wang said, "Brother Xunwu can't offend anyone."
"He is following the golden mean, following the teachings of saints," Chen Tingting continued.
After the three of them talked about military affairs, we chatted freely until late at night.

After Lao Yanqiang put down the lantern, he spent all his money and had no food or drink.
The soldiers guarding the city strengthened the guard and posted a wanted notice for him.
It was impossible to leave the city.
He had to really start begging for food.
Although he couldn't I dream about eating it every meal, but I can barely do it To survive, the only thing I can do is to survive when the craving for cigarettes breaks out, like thousands of ants gnawing at my bones.
I feel uncomfortable all over, rolling back and forth on the ground.
After many helpless fights, the craving for cigarettes becomes less frequent than before, and I also start to grow some flesh on my body. .
The old smoker secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Could it be that after all the hardships, I was about to have a prosperous life?
Every time he thought of the days when he didn't have to worry about money and had people to take care of him, he felt happy.
But seeing that tomorrow was the day of siege ordered by Master Cao, I passed by the foot of Huashan Mountain and the city gate, but didn't see any new movement.
I secretly muttered to myself, could it be that Zhang Li and the others didn't see my lantern?
Li He shouted excitedly after watching the Kongming Lantern last night, which shocked all the soldiers present.
Some people whispered quietly, thinking that Mr.
Li He, Biao Tong, couldn't drink enough water and couldn't go down the mountain.
He was so anxious that he went crazy after seeing the Kongming Lantern. , and started talking nonsense.
Some people really believed this rhetoric.
After hearing this, one of Zhang Li's soldiers hurriedly ran to the hut and shouted out of breath, "Sir, get up quickly.
The situation is going to be bad.
Mr.
Li He, Mr.
Li, he " Before he finished speaking, Zhang Li was so anxious that he immediately stood up and asked directly, "Please slow down and tell Mr.
Li what's wrong with him."
The soldier was so frustrated that he was about to burst into tears and sobbed, "Master Li, he is crazy."
The word "crazy" completely shocked Zhang Li, and his mind went blank.
It turns out that no matter how difficult the situation is, there is a wily Li He to discuss it.
It's a good thing that now only Zhang Dapao, who has no cannon, is left, trapped here.
On the flower mountain.
Zhang Li, who felt aggrieved, cursed loudly, "Li He, you old fox, you just want to have some leisure time, and you will go crazy."
"Zhang Dapao, who went crazy?"
was Li He's voice.
As soon as he entered the hay shed, he heard Zhang Li's scolding.
"Aren't you crazy?"
Zhang Li asked with his eyes wide open.
"Who said you are crazy?"
Li He scolded.
Zhang Li turned to look at the soldier.
The soldier hesitated, smiled bitterly and said to Li He awkwardly, "Master Li, you just yelled that the brothers have been saved, aren't you just talking crazy?
So some people Just spread the word and say you’re crazy.”
"That's nonsense," Li He scolded.
"Li He, I can't believe whether you are telling the truth or not.
Are the brothers really saved?"
Zhang Li asked dubiously.
"Of course, when Wang Zhiyuan left, he and I made an agreement that if he succeeded in borrowing troops, he would first send someone to contact us so that we can coordinate internally and externally.
The code word for this contact is to return after learning Buddhist scriptures," Li He slowly explained to Zhang Li .

"You guys are so stupid, you have more fireworks than me.
Is this a code word for rising to the sky tomorrow?"
Zhang Li asked.
"No, according to my guess, Zhiyuan wants to tell us that they will attack the city the day after tomorrow and send Chen Tingting and other rebellious officials to the west," Li He said.
Zhang Li laughed loudly and said, "We've been waiting for reinforcements.
It's God who helped me, Zhang Dabaobao, when he was thrown at the foot of the mountain and bullied by a gun.
If it had been a few days later, we would have died of thirst on this mountain of flowers tomorrow.
I will Gather all the brothers together for a lecture, and early in the morning the day after tomorrow, we will kill them and go down the mountain."
"Well, tomorrow morning we will count the number of people and tell everyone the good news," Li He said.
Early the next morning, Zhang Li and Li He ordered people to kill some pheasants, cut their throats, drip them into bowls, drain all the blood, take out all the water they found, and reward all their brothers.
"Brothers, you may not know that Master Cao came back last night.
He sent people to release the Kongming Lantern to tell us that early tomorrow morning, we will attack the city.
We must do a good job internally, rush down the mountain, and kill all these few people.
The revolutionary party beat us like pheasants in Japan."
Zhang Li yelled at his subordinates at the top of his lungs.
A good-hearted soldier asked, "Sir, you didn't see the Kongming Lantern last night, how could you dare to conclude that it was set off by Master Fuck when he came back for us?"
Zhang Li cursed loudly, "You're such a bastard, you're such a meddlesome kid.
I didn't notice it.
I also know that the Kongming Lantern says: Return from Buddhist scriptures and ascend to heaven the day after tomorrow.
What do you know?
Tell me about it."
What does it mean to come back from Buddhist scriptures?"
The good-hearted soldier looked embarrassed and stammered, "Isn't it the Sun Wukong who came back from studying in the West?"
The other soldiers also laughed, waiting for Zhang Li's explanation.
"Damn this, this is a code word.
Do you understand, Master Fu is just trying to tell us that he is back?"
"What about rising to heaven the day after tomorrow?"
the soldier broke the casserole and asked.
"Of course this is also a code word, that is, let us kill the mountains the day after tomorrow and send those rebellious officials and traitors to the west.
Mr.
Cao has moved twice as many new troops as the Revolutionary Party from the court and surrounded Wucheng.
He is worried about everyone's safety.
It’s safe, so we put out the light to notify us.”
After Zhang Li said what he said, many soldiers below were talking and talking: Mr.
Cao is such a person with great hands and eyes.
The method of informing Mr.
Zhang is extraordinary.
If you follow Mr.
Zhang, you can't go wrong.
Li He on the side heard Zhang Li's fabrication and thought to himself that this guy is really a natural leader.
He really dares to talk nonsense.
This is good, it stabilizes everyone's military morale.
Before Li He could react, Zhang Li fired again. .
"Master Cao has given orders and there is only tomorrow.
We all fight bravely to kill the enemy.

After the rebellion is successfully suppressed, everyone will be rewarded for going down to Huashan and capturing Chen Leiting alive."
The morale of the soldiers was instantly ignited and boiling.
At the top of their voices, they followed Zhang Li and shouted in unison, "Kill down Huashan and capture Chen Leiting alive.
Kill down Huashan and capture Chen Leiting alive."
Li He whispered to Zhang Li, "Zhang Dapao, you really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
Zhang Li chuckled and said, "If you look forward to it tomorrow, I, Zhang Dapao, will still have many unique tricks
