Chapter 19: Counting is counting

After Ouyang Jiashen and Liu Yifei left with their heads, the middle-aged swordsman stayed there and did not move. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Why aren't you leaving?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"My lord, the grass people have nowhere to go, so let me follow you!" The middle-aged swordsman said.

"Are you in the same league as Scarface?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"We are a gang, we are members of the Taihu Gang, but I have only joined for a few months, and I haven't done anything harmful, so I beg the adults to take me in." The middle-aged swordsman said.

"What's your name? Where do you live? Zhao Renjie asked.

"Hu Dahai, a grass man, lives by Taihu Lake and makes a living by fishing. Last winter, the Taihu Gang robbed several boatloads of official salt on the canal and killed the salt transport envoys and the officers and men on board. The young and strong laborers of our fishing village were captured by them and used as coolies to carry the batch of official salt. The middle-aged swordsman said.

"You're the one who rolls in the waves? Do you remember me? The dog asked suddenly.

Hu Dahai looked at the dog baby carefully and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

"Three years ago, I encountered lake bandits in Taihu Lake, I was chased and killed by them, I jumped into the lake, and you saved me in the reeds. I asked you what your name was, and you told me, 'The waves are rolling over the sea.' The dog baby said excitedly.

"Oh—that's you. To meet here again today, that is fate. Hu Dahai was also very excited.

"Hu Dahai, let me ask you: Where did you hide the official silver? Were those imperial court messengers who came to investigate the case killed by you? Also, where are the people who were arrested with you now? Did they join the Taihu Gang like you? Zhao Renjie asked.

"I haven't seen those people for months, maybe they've taken the silver and flown away." Hu Dahai said.

"Have you ever returned to the fishing village since you joined the Taihu Gang? Have you seen anyone who was arrested? Zhao Renjie asked.

"Two months later, I went back to the fishing village and saw the villagers, maybe they were killed, maybe they went somewhere else." Hu Dahai said.

"Has the Yangzhou government investigated this case?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"I investigated, but it was just for outsiders to see. The boss of the Taihu Gang and the prefect of Yangzhou are sworn brothers, and they collude with officials and businessmen, and they do a lot of things that lack morality. I just joined and don't know much, but it is safe to say that the Taihu Gang is a group of mad dogs raised by the prefect of Yangzhou. In recent years, the prefect of Yangzhou has made a lot of money by reselling official salt and selling salt, and I heard that he has an underground treasure house. Hu Dahai said.

"That's true. No wonder there is a folk ballad: a year of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. It seems that the Yangzhou prefect is very fat. Hu Dahai, is there anyone else in your family? If there is, you go back and say hello to them, and come to the Jiang County Ya to find me, and I have decided to leave you as a catcher. Zhao Renjie said.

"Thank you for your concern. My lord, the grass people will go with you. Hu Dahai said.

"Don't you want to talk to your family?" Zhao Renjie was puzzled.

"My lord, the grass people don't have to go back, and they don't dare to go back. The Taihu Gang has strict rules, and if you go out to do things, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent; If you betray the boss, there is only one way to die. Hu Dahai said.

"And what about your family? The Taihu Gang knows that something happened to you, and they will definitely seek revenge on your family. Zhao Renjie said.

"I don't have a family, one person is fed, and the whole family is not hungry." Hu Dahai smiled bitterly.

"Hu Dahai, have you ever seen the imperial court? I think Qincha's disappearance has something to do with the Taihu Gang. Zhao Renjie said.

"I don't know, I'm just joining, and there are a lot of things that the boss won't let me do." Hu Dahai said.

"In that case, why did you send you out on a mission this time?" Zhao Renjie asked.

"Maybe they see what I'm capable of and want to test me. I'm here with Scarface, who is my overseer. Hu Dahai said.

Zhao Renjie saw that Hu Dahai's words were not leaky, so he no longer doubted it, and he agreed to take Hu Dahai on the road together.

The next morning, four yamen appeared in Linjiang County, and they went around the street and went straight to the county office.

In the county office, Qian County Ling was drinking with his master proudly.

"Master, Zhao Renjie is dead, we can sit back and relax. Liu Yifei and Ouyang Jiashen didn't disappoint me, so it was better to leave the two of them to continue to be head hunters. Qian County Ling said.

The scheming master is not optimistic, he thinks that Zhao Renjie will not lose his life so easily, maybe there is another mystery in it. "My lord, is that bloody human head Zhao Renjie's? Let me take a closer look, I always feel unsteady, as if something big is going to happen. Master said.

"Master, you are too worried, how does Zhao Renjie look, you and I both know, that head is clearly Zhao Renjie's, I have seen it twice, there is no difference." Qian Xianling laughed.

"My lord, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, we should be cautious, and don't capsize in the gutter. In my opinion, it is better to call Ouyang Jiashen and Liu Yifei and ask for details, if they speak consistently, then I will rest assured. My lord, think about it: The guard under Zhao Renjie has excellent martial arts, just because Ouyang Jiashen and Liu Yifei are not opponents at all, how could the two of them succeed so easily? "Master thinks it's very strange about the head.

When Qian Xianling heard this, he also felt that something was wrong, and immediately sent someone to find Ouyang Jiashen and Liu Yifei.

Not long after, the official came to report that Ouyang Jiashen and Liu Yifei had left the yamen with their families and were missing.

"My lord, just because the two of them are in a hurry to leave with their families, it can be concluded that Zhao Renjie is not dead, the head is fake, and someone has done it to someone. Without further ado, we should prepare early. Master said.

Qian Xian Ling listened, he was sincerely afraid, he had done a lot of immoral things, if Zhao Renjie caught the handle and found evidence, he would definitely die.

"Master, hurry up and get an idea, in my opinion, Zhao Renjie will soon come to Yamen Xingshi to ask for guilt." Lord Qian was so frightened that he could only hope for the resourceful master.

"Don't worry, adults, we still have a good chance of winning. One of Zhao Renjie's followers is still in our hands, and we can blackmail Zhao Renjie into submission. The master said with a sly smile.

"Well, that's a good idea. Master, the fire has burned the eyebrows, we might as well kill Zhao Yu and a few people who know the roots, so that Zhao Renjie can't find any clues. Qian County Ling said.

"This plan is feasible, but now that the investigation is tight, Zhao Yu will keep his life alive for the time being." The master said.

While he was talking, the official guarding the door came in to report: "There are four officials from outside, and they want to see you, please reply to your lordship." ”

"Call them in, don't be slow to treat the guests." Zhao Renjie commanded.

The official took Zhao Renjie and others to the living room, and Qian County Ling saw that the four of them were wearing clothes to catch fast, and thought that they were sent by the prefect of Yangzhou, and asked: "A few of you are from Yangzhou, what are the instructions of the prefect?" ”

"The prefect wants us to come and arrest the imperial court." Zhao Renjie said.

"Who is the imperial court?" Qian County Ling was stunned.

"That's you." Zhao Renjie said.

"I-?" Before Master Qian came back to his senses, Ying'er and the others stepped forward and took Qian Fugui and Master Dog Head together.
