After arguing for a while, the diners had already run out, and then two catchers from the yamen broke in. pretended to ask for some information, and immediately ordered the restaurant to pay 100 copper coins to the guests.

The garlic-nosed shopkeeper had already been instructed by the eleventh brother, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said that there was not so much cash in the store, so he could go to the owner's house to get it.

Catching Kuai exchanged glances with the flower arms, obviously not expecting the shopkeeper of the restaurant to be so good. Liu County Weitu's original is the word "wealth", and he immediately shouted to follow the shopkeeper to withdraw money.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant led the way in front, and the two catchers followed behind with a few flower arms, all the way to the house where Tian Shiyi lived.

After being troubled by the flower arm, there was still no business in the restaurant, and after the end of the county, the head of the county government brought more than a dozen catchers to the restaurant, saying that the county had lost two catchers and a few good people, and asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant to hand them over.

At this time, there was only one guy in the restaurant, and he hurriedly said that the shopkeeper took the two big catchers and a few guests to the owner's house to withdraw the money, and none of them came back. The head catcher was furious, and asked the guy to lead the way, and he wanted to take someone to the inn's house to search.

The guy didn't even have time to close the door of the store, and he was arrested and dragged away. After about half a meal, a few men came out of nowhere, quietly closed the restaurant, and then disappeared into the end of the street.

The sky darkened in a blink of an eye, and it was dark outside Tian Shiyi's house, and the lanterns on both sides of the gate were not lit, making it look like an empty house.

The county lieutenant Liu Qing's face was full of majesty at this time, and the fifty horse and foot archers plus the officers in the county office, a total of more than 100 people swaggered behind him, and the torches illuminated the entire cowhide alley into daylight.

Surrounding the gate of Tian Shiyi's house, Liu Qingyi waved his hand and said, "Knock the door open." ”

The county lieutenant ordered several officers to immediately surround the gate, but they were extremely careful. The county's catchers have lost even half of their catches, which is a bit terrifying, and they can't afford not to be afraid.

One of the officers pushed the door to test the bolt, but it creaked open. More than 100 people took a step back in unison, and everyone felt a little hairy in their hearts.

The mansion was pitch black, and the door of the black hole had an eerie smell, and everyone's heart was bubbling with a cool air.

Liu Qing was also a little uneasy at this time, but he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, and more than 100 subordinates looked at him, so he couldn't lose face.

The thirty officers who were ordered were a little scared, but Master Liu spoke, and I was afraid that it would not work if I didn't enter this house. Fortunately, thirty people went in together, and there were torches in their hands, even if there were Liangshan thieves inside, they could resist for a while.

Liu Qing saw his subordinates carrying torches into the house, illuminating the dark courtyard, and his heart was a little calmer.

As the torches went deeper, nothing happened, until no light was visible, and the house was really not small.

After the tea, Liu Qing's heart was filled with uneasy emotions again, and he wanted to send some more people in to take a look. At this moment four messengers ran out in a hurry, and two of them did not even have torches.

An errand man dressed with a knife head shouted as he ran, "My lord, my lord, there is silver, a lot of silver, and they have snatched it inside." ”

Liu Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was angry, and he couldn't wait to rush over and block the knife's mouth. What's even more angry is that those bastards sent in dare to steal the silver in private, which is really against them.

The county lieutenant waved his hand and walked towards the house with the rest of the men, but the knife head shouted again: "Your Excellency, hurry up, someone has already escaped through the back door with silver." ”

Liu Qing's face changed color, and he immediately rushed into the house, and the four people who came out to report the news led the way in front, and the people behind him also ran with crackling.

Dingtao County is really not prosperous, so the house is so big. The four people leading the way in front of them ran very fast, and Liu Qing chased after him quickly, and his breathing couldn't help but become short.

When I passed through a moon gate, I found that there were many people gathered in the garden, and the lanterns and torches illuminated the garden. In the middle of the garden, there was a case, and a handsome young man sat behind the case, shaking a folding fan in his hand, and three words were written on the white fan, "Big Master".

Liu Qing was shocked, and hurriedly turned around to call someone, only to find that only a dozen people followed behind him. After a closer look, Liu Qing's heart immediately sank into his stomach, and he didn't know any of the dozen or so people who followed him!

The county lieutenant was tied up without accident, gagged, and dragged deeper into the house.

At this time, Liu Qing found that this house had been connected to the house in the West Chamber, and there were many cages in the large back garden, and his subordinates were constantly being put into the cages.

"Is this the thief from Liangshan coming down the mountain?" Liu Qing thought secretly.

At this time, he suddenly saw the head catcher who had disappeared in the afternoon, also tied and gagged, and half collapsed in a cage.

The head catcher also saw the county lieutenant, and tilted his head to the cage next to him, which clearly meant to say: The county lieutenant should enter this cage, and our brothers will be next to each other.

Roughly stuffed into a cage, the county lieutenant was not so afraid. In Liangshan, there are a few people who have not been in contact with those thieves. I don't really want to take refuge in the bandits, just to have one more way to seek peace, after all, the thieves in Liangshan are too powerful, and few of the surrounding prefectures and counties can afford to provoke them.

Glaring fiercely, County Lieutenant Liu began to close his eyes and recuperate, thinking about how to persuade the heroes of Liangshan to leave his life and that of his family.

Wooden stakes were constantly transported to the back garden, and cages were installed one by one. The thieves moved quickly, and before midnight a hundred and ten more cages came out.

When they arrived, the back garden was lively again, and County Lieutenant Liu immediately opened his eyes to watch and found that the hundred and ten empty cages were filled in a short time.

Squinting and glancing around, Liu Qing was horrified to find that almost all those who had some heads and faces in the county government were already in the cage, except for the county lord.

Huo Shanpo Wang Dingliu was extremely frightened this night, how could he not know that County Lieutenant Liu had come to find someone in such a big battle.

Wang Dingliu personally watched all the armed men in the entire Dingtao County rush into the house of "He Gongzi", and then none of them came out. In the middle of the night, there were many people coming in and out of the house next to Tianhe Gongzi's house, and Huo Shanpo peeked from a distance, and vaguely recognized that those who were arrested were all officials in charge of affairs in the yamen. After that, his whole body fell into a cloud, and his mind was full of officials who were tied up and sent to the house.

I wanted to sneak into He Gongzi's mansion to investigate, but when I thought of the baby-faced boy's superb marksmanship and Hu Sanniang with the sun and moon swords on his back, Wang Dingliu immediately dispelled this idea.
