It can be said that Zhang Jingtao knows Zhao Li quite well.

Although Zhao Li wished that King Zhao would die, he was much more secretive in his actions and would never reveal his covetousness for the throne easily. In the past negotiations with Zhang Jingtao, Zhao Li had always spoken in a foggy manner. It would be better to be a reckless man.

, I’m afraid there’s no way to figure out what Zhao Li is talking about.

The Lord of Luling was far inferior to the Crown Prince. Once he succeeded, he wanted to control the wind and rain, but he couldn't hide it. He was easily seen through by King Zhao, and King Zhao was eager to design and kill Zhao Shen.

Fortunately, after the gang-suppression department was recently opened, what Zhang Jingtao did most was to collect intelligence. When the women of the gangsters were arrested, they would reveal many secrets of the powerful people, which the powerful people could never imagine.

This is not only because those black elements are not all as deep as the sea, but usually tell the women close to them about the information they get.

Many of them let their women go to bed with powerful people. Those powerful people are usually very interested in such wild women. Just like Zhao Shen, he will forcefully violence his women. Those powerful people are also attracted to them.

For those who only care about dogs and horses, they are forced to do it just to seek excitement. They usually have frequent contact with each other and reveal a lot of information.

It is not difficult to understand the situation of the prince's warriors.

In particular, Zhang Jingtao asked Ding Yi to approach a cousin of Zhao Li's family because of Ding Yi's good looks. This cousin was fond of martial arts and was also a warrior in Zhao Li's house.

In this way, we can negotiate with Zhao Li through one layer.

When Yin Dingyi approached the female warrior, if the female warrior was willing to approach him, she must have followed the prince's order.

It is not difficult to understand Ding Yi's identity. It can be said that there is no completely gratuitous love.

For this reason, Zhang Jingtao asked again: "Have you at least asked about the situation of the execution ground clearly?"

Ding Yi said: "This is a clear question. The prince will set up a rope trap specifically to deal with our cavalry. This trap is very fair, but there is nothing we can do because Xiao Kuangfeng leads the troops to control the trap."

Zhang Jingtao frowned and said: "A rope trap? What does it look like?"

Ding Yi said: "This is not clear because the execution is at noon and the trap has not been set yet. You will only know if you go to the scene and see it."

Zhang Jingtao asked: "Can I go to the scene?"

Ding Yi said: "Yes, one side of the execution ground is close to the water. It is a huge competition ground. On both sides are two-story buildings in the village hall. The prince has already asked people to nail pillars into the alleys formed by the buildings.

It formed a natural barrier for the execution ground. For this reason, the prince only built a sentry tower to observe the four directions, and did not send warriors to guard these towers. He probably concentrated his soldiers to resist our cavalry. These were told by the female warrior of the Zhao family.

mine."

Zhang Jingtao nodded and said, "Go and have a look."

When they arrived outside the village where the execution place was, they saw the sentry tower in the distance, and the three of them could not go any further.

Xiao Jian led three horses and waited in a forest.

Zhang Jingtao and Ding Yi took off their leather armor, put on farmers' bamboo hats, put on the gray short robes they had prepared, and walked towards the village.

After walking for a while, I saw a farmer pushing a pushcart. He looked like a local farmer. He went up and pretended to chat for a few words, and then followed him.

When we arrived at the village, we discovered that there was no one to guard the sentry tower.

Ding Yi had already figured out the layout of the village and knew that there was a noodle shop on the street outside the execution ground.

This noodle shop spans two streets. Its facade is on another street, and it is not far from the execution platform. When you go to this noodle shop, you can observe the situation of a row of residential farmhouses outside the execution ground.

We entered the noodle shop. Although this kind of noodle shop in the village is also a tavern, the business was still very deserted in the morning. There was only one person eating noodles downstairs.

The shop owner usually has his own house. If there is business, he can do it, but if there is no business, he can just live like this. Anyway, most of the ingredients are raised, including chickens, ducks, vegetables and fish. Only large meats have to be bought and found ways to preserve them.

Went upstairs, and there were Zhang Jingtao and Zhang Jingtao upstairs.

As soon as I sat by the window, I could immediately see the situation on the street outside the execution ground.

The defense was indeed extremely lax. Although a group of soldiers patrolled the streets and the tense atmosphere was already evident, one group of soldiers was obviously too few.

For this reason, anyone who does not know King Zhao's thoughts will definitely be very surprised.

And those who know King Zhao's thoughts will see that this execution ground seems to be filled with murderous intent.

When the two bowls of big meat noodles came, they were about to have breakfast, so they ate them. They tasted very good. They were made from natural foods. Even if they only add a little salt, they often taste very good. Not to mention, this big meat is also good.

After soaking in water to remove blood, pickling, and adding aniseed soy sauce, etc., it is burned.

Zhang Jingtao ate noodles and looked at the group of soldiers. It would be no problem to avoid their patrols.

Ding Yi said: "Master Xiaowei, you have to check carefully which farmhouse you want to enter, otherwise it will be bad if you cause the farmers to yell and scream."

Zhang Jingtao nodded, if it caused the farmers to shout and call a patrol team, then even if Zhao Li wanted to release the water, it would not work.

He asked: "Are there any people in these farmhouses?"

Ding Yi said: "Yes, I heard that the residents were ordered not to go out, and the prince also gave them some food and money to subsidize them. However, the number of residents was not complete, because the residents who saw this situation hid outside

, didn’t come back. But this is really strange. Shouldn’t all the residents be driven away? I don’t know what the prince was thinking.”

Zhang Jingtao said: "This is because the prince Zhao Li wants to show that he has done his best to protect us. All his men will be left to deal with our cavalry."

Ding Yi nodded, looked out the window again, and said, "Huh? This village woman is quite pretty."

Zhang Jingtao followed his gaze and saw this private house opposite the restaurant.

"Yes, she has a delicate appearance and fashionable clothes. She looks like a city girl, but she is very skilled in watering vegetables. She is indeed a peasant woman here." Zhang Jingtao took a look and said.

This latter judgment is very important, at least it means it is not a trap.

After all, it is difficult to say whether there are many changes in this law field. The most important point is of course to beware of traps.

The two of them observed the farmhouse.

I saw that the young woman was very busy. After pouring water, she went to wash clothes.

Among the clothes, there are only baby clothes and her own clothes, because they are women's clothes with good workmanship and style, and they will not be worn by her elders.

Zhang Jingtao wanted to wait for her clothes to be hung up to dry and take a closer look, but after washing a few times, the young woman seemed to hear something and hurriedly entered the door. After that, she took out some baby diapers and threw them in a basin aside.
