A row of heavily armed policemen lined up at the gate of the Golden Dragon City, holding a shield in his left hand and a stick in his right hand, as if facing a great enemy.

A sturdy middle-aged sister-in-law stepped forward and stood on the left side of the young man.

An old man with gray hair, trembling on his crutches, followed two steps forward and stood on the right side of the young man.

One and another......

The fearless crowd stepped forward one after another, standing in front of the police in a black and oppressive area, and confronted each other silently for a long time.

The white-haired old man took another step forward and stood in front of the officer in the center - the officer's epaulettes were one bar and two stars, and the second-class superintendent was obviously the highest-ranking police officer on the scene.

"Young man, what are you trying to do?"

The old man stomped on his crutches on the ground, and his teeth still leaked a little when he spoke: "You are the silver (people) people's police!" Look at the innocent victims and their families in front of you! Look behind you, it's a bunch of beasts! Are you blocking here because you want to play for the tiger and the cat for the mouse?

"I'll tell you, lad! Your duty is to bring those inside to justice, not to deal with us unarmed civilians! ”

"You, you...... And you! The old man's white beard was so angry that he raised his crutches and pointed at the policeman in front of him, and said indignantly: "You, don't lose the face of the people of Jinling, don't insult the national emblem on your head!"

"My old man lived for more than seventy years, and the mountains and seas of blood of the year have been walked, and the white-haired silver (people) have sent the black-haired silver (people), and this old life has not been sprinkled (what) to care about. Today, my old man wants to go in, and if you have the ability, you will attack me! ”

More than a dozen policemen all bowed their heads, and no one dared to look at the old man.

The police superintendent at the head turned red and explained in embarrassment: "Old man, you have misunderstood. We received orders from our superiors to stop you not to protect the people inside, but to stop the bloodshed......"

"Stop the bloodshed?!"

The old man was furious, raised his cane and smashed it. "Where were you when they demolished my house? Why didn't you stop me when they killed my son? I, I'll kill you bastards, ahem...... Ahem......"

The superintendent quickly shrank his head behind the shield and loaded the turtle.

He's a police officer, and he's a police officer with a conscience. From a personal point of view, he, like the vast majority of Jinling people or Huaxia people, really wants to bring the Green Gang to justice, but the Green Gang is under the command of the gold mark, and rarely leaves a tail for doing evil, if it is not for the fact that it was pierced by a certain powerful network Bai Xiaosheng, the police have not yet found evidence of the Qing Gang's illegality.

In other words, the evidence was covered up by other people with great powers, or even erased in time.

As a junior police officer, the superintendent can feel two very different kinds of wills at the top. One is to use the mysterious person as an excuse to intentionally kill people, and forcefully order an all-out pursuit; The other is to control the expansion of the situation, but sit back and watch the eradication of the mysterious person-

These two contradictory orders, on the one hand, are superficial legal principles, and on the other hand, they are de facto consciences, and the superintendent himself does not know who to listen to. He was unwilling to deal with innocent civilians, and he could not disobey the orders of his superiors, so he could only use his equipment advantage to forcibly block the door, bearing the wrath of his victims.

In the crowd, someone clenched the kitchen knife in his hand. When the clash between the police and the people was about to break out, a strange scene occurred in the sky above Golden Dragon City.

A flock of small birds flew in from all directions, hovering over the Golden Dragon City - this is not surprising, the birds are short of food in winter, maybe there is something delicious in the Golden Dragon City that attracts birds, after all, there are crows who have set an example before.

It is strange that there are all kinds of birds in the flock. Magpies, sparrows, yellow finch, woodpeckers, great...... It seems that all the birds on the Purple Mountain have sent representatives to the party, even the rare species of red-winged green dove.

What is even more strange is that the birds chirped for a long time, as if they had agreed to it, and at the same time threw a pile of pieces of paper from the air, and then disappeared without a trace.

Most of those pieces of paper fell into the Golden Dragon City, and some of them were rolled up by the north wind and fell fluttering outside the door. A piece of paper fell right in front of the owner of the tea restaurant, and when he picked it up and looked at it, his face immediately became quite exciting.

Three simple lines of text were printed on the scrap of paper:

"Warning: Golden Dragon City is cordoned off, only the main entrance can be entered.

"Warning: Those who are not involved in the murder will go out and surrender to the police within today.

"Warning: After midnight tonight, the Golden Dragon City will be destroyed. The above is an ultimatum. ”

The tone on the piece of paper does not look like a threat at all, but a statement of fact.

"Ultimatum, sure enough, it's an ultimatum!"

The owner of the tea restaurant was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Don't block the door in this cold winter, come in and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up!" Tonight, my old man invited everyone to dinner, and if the officers didn't dislike it, they all came in and sat down......"

Most of the police and people at the gate of Golden Dragon City have not yet figured out the situation. A few small pieces of paper passed silently through the crowd, followed by an eruption of excited cheers.

"The mystery man didn't give up!"

"Our revenge can be avenged!"

"Hahahaha, the old lady is waiting to see the fate of the one-eyed dragon and the gold standard!"

The white-haired old man burst into tears, patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Child! Good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil, it is not that it will not be reported, the time has not yet come. Let's go to the café and sit and wait......"

The crowd slowly withdrew, and the superintendent breathed a sigh of relief, not realizing that his face was covered in cold sweat.

The people in the café were immersed in a lively discussion, and the topic always revolved around the mysterious man and the magical birds that sent warning messages - pigeons that could deliver letters were common, but wild birds that could send letters in groups were not common.

"The Jinling Massacre 80 years ago, everyone remembers this blood feud, right?"

The white-haired old man was well-informed, and in the anticipation of the room, he told some rumors he had heard from his father. "My parents were farmers in the suburbs of Jinling. When the devil entered the village to sweep, he arrested my mother, and my father rushed out to fight with the devil, but how could he fight with a knife and gun with his bare hands?

Seeing that the devil's bayonet was about to pierce his heart, my father suddenly heard a tiger roar. A tiger burst out of the woods and bit off the devil's neck in one bite, without even screaming. The tiger was followed by a group of black bears, leopards and other beasts, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of devils died cleanly......

"Our Chinese beasts are more humane than the Japanese Kou! The beasts seemed to turn a blind eye to my parents, biting the devil to death and leaving in groups. My father kept saying that he saw a man riding on the back of a tiger, and that the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth followed him obediently, as if they were all his cats and dogs......

"Tell me, will the mysterious man have anything to do with the owners of those birds and beasts back then?"

In the white-haired old man's speculation, the mysterious man may be the savior of his parents.

Obviously, because he is not from the dark rivers and lakes, he doesn't know the grievances between Yunkai and the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and he wouldn't have thought that the one who instructed the birds to act was just a parrot who liked to show off.

In the Golden Dragon City, the Golden Standard was afraid.

The reason for the fear is not just from Yunkai's warning.

His contact with Yanjing was suddenly cut off, and the phone voice prompted the other party to turn off the phone.

Also, Dongfang Bai is also missing.

The gold label needs Dongfang Bai, just as Song Jiang needs Zhiduoxing. Dongfang Bai, who is full of wisdom, joined the Green Gang two years ago and solved the danger of overturning many times for the gold standard, thus becoming his right-hand man. At the critical moment when Golden Dragon City was besieged, Dongfang Bai disappeared without a trace, what does this mean?

Inexplicable panic spread like a plague in Golden Dragon City.

Soon after nightfall, a gap opened in the gate of Golden Dragon City, and several obscene figures streamed out of the cracks.

Two police cars had their lights on across the road. The figures hesitated, raised their hands and said, "Officer, I, we surrender and ask for leniency......"

A policeman got out of the car, threw out several handcuffs and said, "Put them on yourself." Get in! ”

The two figures who fell at the end glanced at each other and turned to run. The policeman grinned at the corners of his mouth, and did not move to chase, turning around and opening the back door of the police car.

The two ran two or three hundred meters away, and just turned a street corner, a black shadow flashed overhead, and a cold voice said, "Go back!" If you don't turn yourself in, die! ”

One of them turned around and ran. The other gritted his teeth, pulled his leg and continued to run away, falling to the ground in less than ten steps. When the man who ran back looked back, he immediately lost his soul, completely lost his thoughts of escaping, and honestly raised his hands and walked to the police car......

Yanjing, inside the red wall.

The bright room, the whole wall of bookshelves, the majestic Great Wall oil painting.

The décor of the rooms is simple, and the level of luxury is not comparable to that of most entrepreneurs' offices. But everyone in China knows that the instructions coming out of this office represent the will of the entire country.

In front of the oil painting of the Great Wall, a middle-aged man with a slight fortune sits with a few smile lines in the corners of his eyes, calmly flipping through the two reports on the table.

One is from the police and the other is from the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

There is no apparent connection between the two reports. The police report said that a teenager who was shot dead by his girlfriend and killed the leader of a gangster organization in Yudu is now retaliating along the Yangtze River, triggering a series of bad social reactions that foreign media are scrambling to report.

The investigation report of the Commission for Discipline Inspection said that a huge amount of unidentified property was hidden in the home of Vice Minister Cui of the Police Headquarters.

The middle-aged man flipped through for a moment, and indifferently ordered, "Connect with Long Xingyun of the Special Security Group for me." ”

The secretary respectfully accepted the order and left.

By midnight, most people had fallen asleep. There are also some people who can't sleep because they want more people to sleep peacefully.

Yanjing, Zaozhuang compound. Officials of the Commission for Discipline Inspection stood outside the gate of the mansion, behind them two rows of capable policemen.

Donghai, the headquarters of the Green Gang. Su Hang and Chen Ziyi looked at each other and smiled, and walked side by side towards the gate.

Jinling, outside the Golden Dragon City. A slightly thin figure slowly walked from the end of the long street.
