Chen Zheng and others traveled all the way and finally returned to Dongyang County.

It took two days longer to come back than to go, after all, there were more things on the carriage and the speed of the carriage was slow.

As soon as Chen Zheng's carriage arrived at the gate of the city, a government official ran to the county government and told the county commander Li Gang the news.

For a while, the county government knew that Chen Zheng had arrested the defected fast hand Yang Xu.

Without hesitation, Chen Zheng directly drove the carriage to the county government and came to see Li Gang to restore his life.

When they came to the county office, Chen Zheng and Yue Xiaorong got down from the carriage, and Li Gang personally stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Master Chen and his wife are triumphant, which is really gratifying." ”

Chen Zheng glanced at Li Gang and was reluctant to talk to him, until now, he was still a little resentful of the county government sending Yue Xiaorong out to arrest Yang Xu.

Li Gang also knew in his heart, knowing that he was at a loss, but he just smiled wryly, but he didn't continue.

Another carriage, Lu Renjia, Bu Zhongyao and Mei Guanxi also got out of the car, walked in front of Li Gang, and replied: "Lord Qiyu County, Yang Xu has been arrested. ”

Li Gang nodded and said, "Take him down." ”

Bu Zhongyao received the order, returned to the carriage, and brought Yang Xu and Liao Jiapeng down.

Yang Xu was taken out of the carriage, unable to open his eyes due to the dazzling sunlight, squinted at Li Gang, and said with a smile: "I've seen Lord Li." ”

Li Gang snorted coldly and said, "Yang Xu, this official is not thin with you, why do you want to be the internal response of the Fusang bandits, and tell them all about the defense of the county." ”

Yang Xu smiled and said, "Lord Li, look at what you said, as far as these situations in the county are concerned, even if I don't say it, the Fusang people will be able to inquire about it sooner or later." ”

"That's your reason?" Li Gang asked with a glare.

Yang Xu nodded and admitted directly: "Yes, anyway, the other party will know sooner or later, it's better for me to tell them, and by the way, they can make some money, why not?" ”

"Shameless!" Li Gang shouted, "For the sake of one's own selfish interests, it is really an unforgivable crime to disregard the safety of the people of the county!"

"Lord Li is serious, Liao Jiapeng and I are undercover agents who have penetrated into the enemy, and through our continuous efforts over the years, we have transferred a lot of the bandits' belongings, with the purpose of disintegrating them from the inside." Yang Xu's face was not red and his heart was not beating.

Li Gang frowned and asked, "What property?" ”

Lu Renjia was quite discerning, and said to Bu Zhongyao and Mei Guanxi behind him: "Move the boxes on the carriage down." ”

Bu Zhongyao and Mei Guanxi were a little unhappy, but they knew how heavy those boxes were, but in front of the county commander Li Gang, it was not good to refuse Lu Renjia directly.

The two had no choice but to turn around, get into the carriage, and remove the boxes of belongings from the carriage.

It took several trips back and forth before the two of them moved all the boxes from the carriage, and they were so tired that they were panting.

"My lord, this was seized in Yang Xu's hiding place." Lu Renjia said.

Li Gang looked at it and said, "Open them all!" ”

So, Bu Zhongyao and Mei Guanxi began to open the boxes again, one by one, and finally opened all the boxes.

Every time he opened a box, Li Gang gasped, which seemed to be a little incredible.

When all the boxes were opened, Li Gang was a little shocked, and after relieving for a while, he asked, "Yang Xu, what are you doing with so many treasures?" I remember that you don't care much about money. ”

"Because I've been poor since I was a child, I usually don't care about it, hehe." Yang Xu explained with a smile.

Li Gang shook his head and sighed, and said, "Since the stolen goods have been obtained, then put them in prison first and wait for them to be released." ”

The two were taken down, and Yang Xu and Liao Jiapeng seemed to have some prediction of their fate, and surprisingly did not resist.

Then, Li Gang came to Chen Zheng again and said with a smile: "In this matter, Master Chen and his wife have contributed the most, so let's go back and rest first, the county will definitely write the credit clearly and ask for credit for the two." ”

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "Lord Li is not busy asking for merit first, there is still one person in the carriage." ”

"Who else?" Li Gang frowned, "Is there still a fish that has slipped through the net?" ”

"It's not like it's slipping through the net." Chen Zheng shook his head and said, "It's an old man of Lord Li." ”

"The deceased?" The more Li Gang listened, the more confused he became.

Chen Zheng shouted to the carriage: "Lord Chen, come down by yourself, do you still want to send someone to invite you?" ”

Li Gang stared at the carriage, guessing in his heart who the old man inside was?

After a long while, Chen Xicheng finally walked down from the carriage slowly, and when he saw Li Gang, he felt very uncomfortable, but he still spoke: "Hello, Master Li." We haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

Li Gang didn't expect it to be Chen Xicheng at all, and he was speechless in some surprise at this time.

To tell the truth, when Liao Jiapeng pointed out that Yang Xu's hiding place was in Qianyang Mansion, Li Gang was worried that he would meet Chen Xicheng when he went to Qianyang Mansion to handle the case, and the other party would definitely stop him in every possible way.

Therefore, before Chen Zheng left, Li Gang asked Lu Renjia to remind Chen Zheng that he should keep a low profile in Qianyang Mansion, and if he could not alarm the local government, he would not be alarmed, the purpose was not to let Chen Xicheng stop them from handling the case.

But now, Chen Xicheng is standing in front of him, what is the situation?

Li Gang saw it with his own eyes just now, Yang Xu was arrested and has been thrown into prison, I'm afraid it's too late to stop it at this time.

Could it be that this arrest was completed with the full cooperation of Qianyang Mansion, and Chen Xicheng, as a representative of Qianyang Mansion, escorted Yang Xu all the way to Dongyang County in order to invite merit?

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Gang had no choice but to respond: "You're okay, Lord Chen." Don't come unharmed? ”

Hearing this, Chen Xicheng snorted coldly and said, "Do you look at me like this, do you seem to be fine?" ”

Li Gang was thinking about it just now, where did he look at Chen Xicheng carefully, after the other party had reminded him so much, Li Gang looked carefully.

This Chen Xicheng looks a little embarrassed, his clothes are wrinkled, his hair is messy, not to mention his complexion, he is like a dead person in the family, crying and mourning, and he doesn't smile at all.

At this moment, Xiao Zan and Li Shuang also walked in from outside, apparently they also learned the news that Chen Zheng was returning to Dongyang County.

"Brother Chen, you're finally back, have you found it?" Xiao Zan asked directly.

After seeing Yue Xiaorong standing beside Chen Zheng, Xiao Zan smiled again and said, "My son knows that as long as Brother Chen makes a move, there is nothing that can't be done." ”

Yue Xiaorong pursed her lips and smiled, "This Xiao Gongzi is really good at talking. ”

Yue Xiaorong knows Xiao Zan's identity, but as the lord of a village, she doesn't care so much about the prince or something.

Chen Zheng saw that Yue Xiaorong was a little tired, so he held her little hand and said, "Otherwise, the lady will go home and rest first, and when I finish dealing with the things here, I will go home to accompany you, how about it?" ”

Yue Xiaorong nodded and said, "Then the Xianggong should be faster, I'll wait for you at home." ”

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other affectionately for a moment, and then Yue Xiaorong took out her hand and walked home.

Li Shuang stepped forward, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Brother Chen, don't you think about our feelings when you show affection in broad daylight?" ”

Chen Zheng smiled and said, "Your feelings don't matter to me at all, why should I think about it?" ”

Li Shuang couldn't answer for a while, but Xiao Zan saw the box on the ground.

I really can't see it, but at this time, these boxes are open, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside are very eye-catching.

"What are these?" Xiao Zan couldn't help but ask.

Li Gang smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Xiao, these are the belongings that Yang Xu and Liao Jiapeng transferred from the Fusang bandits. ”

"That's a lot!" Xiao Zan exclaimed, even as a prince, he had never seen so many belongings.

Chen Zheng walked over and said, "Brother Xiao, what do you think of the fact that these belongings are used as funds for the establishment of a whaling team?" ”

Xiao Zan thought about it, then nodded and said, "This son thinks it's very good!" What do you think, Master Li? ”

Li Gang actually wanted to use this batch of property for the treasury of Dongyang County, but now that Chen Zheng and Xiao Zan have spoken, they want to use it for the funds for the establishment of the whaling team, so he is embarrassed to speak.

After all, these belongings were collected by Chen Zheng personally, and Li Gang was not easy to come hard.

"Naturally, the prefecture also thinks it is very good." Li Gang echoed.

Xiao Zan was overjoyed, and suddenly he felt that he was rich, which surprised him very much.

Looking at Xiao Zan's happy appearance, Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xiao, don't you know that on our way back, someone paid attention to these belongings and wanted to rob them." ”

Xiao Zan's face changed, now that these belongings have become his, he couldn't help but be very angry when he heard that someone wanted to rob him of his things!

"Who is so daring?" Xiao Zan asked unhappily.

Chen Zheng pointed at Chen Xicheng with his chin and said, "It's this Lord Chen Xicheng next to him, who led people to stop our carriage with the intention of robbing it." ”

"Lord Chen Xicheng?" Xiao Zan frowned, "An official?" ”

Chen Xicheng has been in the officialdom for many years, and he also has eyesight, and the person surnamed Xiao in front of him is polite to him, and he himself is also arrogant, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Thinking that Chen Zheng was holding the prince's letter before, and then thinking of this person's surname Xiao, Chen Xicheng couldn't help but shudder, obviously he had learned the identity of this young man.

"Down is Chen Xicheng, the assassin of Qianyang Mansion." Chen Xicheng honestly explained, "This is actually just a misunderstanding. ”

Xiao Zan frowned and said, "If you are a state assassin, then there is no need to rob it, is there really any misunderstanding?" ”

Chen Zheng saw Xiao Zan looking at him, so he smiled slightly and said, "Misunderstanding? There was no misunderstanding at all, and he had shown the official letter of cross-state arrest issued by Dongyang County to Lord Chen, but the other party did not care at all and insisted on searching the carriage. ”

"We should also divide our routine inspections." Chen Xicheng argued.

Chen Zheng snorted coldly and said, "You have a lot of people, and your errand officials are still temporary workers, if you really come to search the carriage, you will have to loot some of your property." ”

Chen Xicheng didn't know how to explain it with a cold face, because he was really like searching a carriage, and if there was something good, he would detain it.

Chen Zheng gave Chen Xicheng a chance, but he didn't cherish it properly, not only did he not cherish it, but he also slandered Chen Zheng and others as anti-thieves, which is a big crime of the Nine Clans.

The other party is going to put them to death, and Chen Zheng will naturally not let Chen Xicheng go.

"Chen Xicheng, if these belongings are here, I can't say anything, take out some of them to honor the adults and the accompanying officials." Chen Zheng said with a smile, "But these belongings belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and are used to set up a whaling team!" ”

"I really don't know." Chen Xicheng defended weakly, "If I knew that this was His Royal Highness the Prince's thing, I wouldn't dare to rob it." ”

"Alas, everyone heard it, he said that if he knew that this was His Royal Highness the Prince's belongings, he would not dare to plunder. In other words, as long as it is not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will dare to rob. Chen Zheng pointed at Chen Xicheng and said.

"The dignified state capital assassin has robbed it, it's really shameless!" Chen Zheng scolded.

Chen Xicheng couldn't argue, so he simply stopped talking.

"Master Li, now that Chen Xicheng has been arrested in Dongyang County, you can interrogate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see how many crimes he has committed." Chen Zheng said to Li Gang.

Li Gang nodded and said, "Master Chen, Xiao Gongzi, please rest assured, I am not afraid that Chen Xicheng will not confess, I am afraid that he will commit fewer crimes." ”

When Chen Xicheng heard this, he secretly swore in his heart that he must grit his teeth, as long as he doesn't admit anything, the other party can't do anything about him.

If Chen Xicheng had known about the torture tools in the Dongyang County prison, he would not have been so optimistic.

As soon as the torture instrument is put on the body, as long as you have done it, you can be tried.

Li Gang waved his hand and asked Lu Renjia to take Chen Xicheng to the prison, and when the time was right, he would interrogate him.

Think about the time when Chen Xicheng was assassinating in Hongjiang Mansion before, although the two did not deal with each other, but when they met, Li Gang still had to laugh; But now? Chen Xicheng became Li Gang's prisoner, and whenever Li Gang thought of this, he felt very comfortable in his heart.

"Master Li, what happened to those two Fuso bandits?" Chen Zheng asked.

Li Gang smiled slightly and said, "The materials they confessed have been reported to the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, and after being approved, they have been executed." ”

"Already killed? So fast! Chen Zheng was a little surprised.

When Li Gang saw Chen Zheng's appearance, he asked, "What's wrong?" Does Master Chen have any more questions he would like to ask? ”

Chen Zheng wanted to ask Kato or Tonnie about the Fuso bandits' lair, since both of them had been killed, it didn't matter.

Chen Zheng waved his hand, and then asked Xiao Zan again: "Brother Xiao, how is the whaling ship built?" How's the progress? ”

Hearing Chen Zheng ask himself, Xiao Zan grinned and said, "A whaling ship has been built, and the crew has just been recruited in the past two days, and it is preparing to practice." Brother Chen, why don't we go and have a look. ”

Chen Zheng looked up at the sky and said, "It's a little late today, wait for tomorrow." ”

Going home to accompany the lady is much more important than watching any whaling ship!
