Chapter 787: The Big Case - Caught (5,000 Words Chapter)

"It's ......." Song Liang was very happy to say, 'This matter is very good', and swallowed back the words before the last moment. This is not a good time to say.

He organized his words again and said, "Qian Tongju, this official has already interrogated Gao Jingde, he has already confessed about other people's crimes, and he has also confessed the location of the wizard known as Wude. ”

"It's not too late to arrest people, it's better for this officer and some soldiers of the guard to go with the police brought by Qian Tongju to arrest the Ud wizard, and on the way, the official told Qian Tongju what Gao Jingde had confessed."

Qian Minglin immediately understood Song Liang's purpose. He didn't know that the guards still had a term of office, and he was secretly surprised: 'Why, isn't it good to be a guard by His Majesty's side?' Want to seek a foreign appointment? ’

He didn't dare to offend the commander of the guards like Song Liang, so although he didn't want to be shared by Song Liang, he could only pretend to be happy and agree: "The Song guards have already interrogated Gao Jingde, and since this is the case, without further ado, the Song guards will immediately go with the lower officials to arrest the Oude wizard." ”

Hearing Qian Minglin say this, Song Liang immediately agreed, and ordered a few guards to take half of the people of the Gao family to the Guangzhou Police Station, and said to Feng Xishan: "You go back to the palace to report this matter to Your Majesty." ”

Of course, Feng Xishan was reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Song Liang's words, so he agreed, and took a few guards guarding the palace to return to the palace.

In the courtyard of the Gao family's house, a few more people were left to count his family's goods - these goods are now the property of the Ming court, and they need to count the quantity and hand it over to the provincial treasury and government treasury in Guangzhou, or the national treasury and the emperor's inner treasury transported back to the capital.

Qian Minglin and Song Ming picked up the rest of the men and horses and went to the outside of the Great North Gate.

At this time, it was still daytime, and they were very conspicuous outside the Great North Gate all the way, and it stands to reason that it was not a good time to search, and they should go in the middle of the night; But Song Liang came early in the morning to inspect the Gao family has been seen by many people, if you wait until midnight to estimate that people don't know where to go, so they can only be fast, and everyone gallops to the outside of the Great North Gate.

The group soon left the city and came to the vicinity of the Great North Gate. Song Liang and Qian Minglin stopped their horses' heads for the time being, and while observing the situation in this area, they assigned people to search around. Although Gao Jingde said that the Wizard of Oud lived near his family's tomb, every time he made an appointment with Su Dongli and Wizard Oude at the same time, they were not in his family's tomb, so it can be seen that Wizard Oude may not necessarily live in the house near his family's tomb, so he has to search for everything in this area.

Song Liang looked at this place full of desolate graves, ruined coffins, dry bones, and the sound of dogs barking from time to time, although it was now broad daylight, he also felt creepy, and he was glad that he didn't have to come here at night to search, otherwise not only would everyone be afraid, but it was estimated that the wizard would have to run away.

Song Liang and Qian Minglin first assigned some policemen to surround the area, and then divided the rest of the people into teams to search for different tombs.

Just when he was searching for the Yizhuang near Baihua Bridge, a team of people led by Song Liang personally touched the bell under Udebu.

……

……

After Song Liang finished shouting, he immediately led people to the gate of Yizhuang, feeling a little panicked and a little glad in his heart: although the wizard found out that they came to arrest him, they also found the place where he was hiding, otherwise they might not have been able to find the wizard before the wizard found them, and the tomb outside the Great North Gate was so big that it was unknown if the wizard ran away.

Song Liang was thinking about it, and he had already rushed to the gate, and was just about to raise his foot to kick the door open, when he suddenly felt something soft under his feet, and then something hit him his calf. He hurriedly looked down and saw that there was a small snake under his feet. This snake is not big, it is only about three feet long, and the black and white rings on its whole body are arranged alternately, which is a highly venomous silver snake. At this time, the snake's belly was trampled under Song Liang's feet, a slender tail kept flicking, and the snake's mouth bit his leggings.

Song Liang secretly screamed a fluke. This snake is obviously highly venomous, but fortunately he wrapped a thick leg wrap around his pants today, otherwise he might have been poisoned this time. He immediately raised his other foot and stepped on it fiercely, stomped the snake's head heavily under his feet, crushed it with strength, freed up his other foot and stomped it down again, and after four or five feet, he trampled the snake's head to pieces, and saw that he could no longer live.

In a moment's time, the two leading soldiers had already rushed to the door in a few steps, inserting the short knife through the crack in the door, and picking it up skillfully; However, the latch did not open, and it turned out that the inside was inserted with a knocker, so they had to insert the tip of a knife into the crack of the door and pull it out little by little.

Seeing this, Song Liang roared: "Get out of the way!" He took a few steps back and rushed over again, kicking the door. He was born in martial arts, and he was born with great strength, and he kicked on the door with a "bang", not only the door latch was broken into two, but even the door frame shook a few times, and suddenly a yellow gourd fell from the soil from above.

In the past few moments, Song Qingshu had already rushed over, and was about to say a word to Song Liang when he caught a glimpse of the yellow gourd rolling on the ground. He immediately shouted, "Get out of the way!" He pulled Song Liang and ran out again.

Song Liangzheng was a little stunned, and saw that the gourd had fallen like this, and a few pieces of mud had fallen off, and a few eyes were exposed on the gourd's belly, and there was a buzzing sound in the gourd.

Now everyone knew what it was, but it was too late to run, and in an instant, a swarm of wasps the length of half a finger came out of the gourd. These hornets were twice as big as ordinary Hu Feng, their bodies were black and shiny, and the yellow stripes on their bodies could be seen through the sunlight, and they pounced on them after a slight circle.

A few soldiers who ran with Song Liang were stung a few times by the hornets in an instant. They rolled and wailed in pain, and after a moment they fell to the ground and did not move.

The hornets did not fly away after they stung people, but flew up and down around the gourd at the gate. When everyone saw that this wasp was so poisonous, they didn't dare to rush forward.

But just because you can't get in through the gate doesn't mean you can't get in. Everyone surrounded this courtyard, found a place where the courtyard wall was in disrepair and was no longer very strong, smashed the courtyard wall, and rushed into the courtyard.

This courtyard is very large, but there are no houses in it, only three main houses look neat, on both sides are some long rows of small houses that have been built later and have been dilapidated, the dilapidated doors and windows are open, and there is a coffin parked inside, which is very terrifying.

The soldiers of the guard station immediately dispersed to search, and Song Liang and the others were about to rush straight to the main room. Song Qingshu immediately stopped him and said, "I'll come." I'm always from the Wudang Sect, and I know more about the magic of the machine than you need to know. ”

Song Liang didn't really care about his life, but before he actually violated Yun Xi's order and had to lead by example, now Song Qingshu is willing to come forward, and listening to what he said is reasonable, Song Liang also retreated to the second line.

The doors and windows of the main house were closed. This trouble just now, if the demon is still inside, he must take action. Although Song Qingshu volunteered to take the lead, he didn't know what tricks the enemy would play. He has already seen poisonous snakes and wasps just now, but what is next?

Fortunately, they had already rushed into the courtyard, and the iron buckets that had been besieged on all sides were like iron buckets, and as long as the wizard was still in the room, he would never be able to escape.

Just as he was thinking about it, the soldiers who had searched in the backyard also returned, reporting that there were no items in the backyard, only coffins and other things.

"Get on the smoke bomb! Get this wizard out of here! ”

Qian Minglin, who had already walked into the courtyard, gave an order, and several policemen from Guangzhou Prefecture immediately took out round objects from their pockets, picked up stones from the ground, smashed the sash of one of the windows of the main house, and threw the round objects into it after lighting the fire. This round item is a smoke bomb, and the Ming Dynasty is very interested in the study of smoking firearms, and it is generally equipped in the army. After Xu was changed to a policeman, Yunxi ordered the police all over the country to also be equipped with a small number of muskets and smoke bombs, so they had smoke bombs in their hands at this time.

As the smoke grenades were thrown in, smoke billowed from the three main rooms in an instant, and a pungent smell suddenly filled the air.

There was a violent coughing sound from inside, and it was very dense; Song Liang was happy at first: The wizard is still there! But then I heard that something was wrong.

It just so happened that at this time, Song Qingshu also came over and said: "Brother Jinming, there is more than one person in the room, there are at least two people, and it is absolutely impossible for one person to cough such a sound." ”

"Maybe it's the wizard's servant." Song Liang guessed: "But no matter who it is, it will never be able to escape." ”

The two of them stood at the door, waiting for the people in the house to come out.

But the time for the incense had passed, and there were still a few occasional sneezes in the house, but gradually as the smoke thinned, there was no movement in the room.

"What's going on?" Song Liang scratched his head: "I wouldn't rather be choked to death in the house than come out, right?" ”

Since people don't come out, they have to go in by themselves. Song Liang stayed outside the house to command, and Song Qingshu slowly walked in with a few policemen wearing thick clothes. The police had little experience with wizards, but they were better suited to house searches than soldiers.

Song Qingshu saw that the house was dark and damp, damaged, said that it was three main rooms, but in fact, the partition wall inside had long been damaged, standing at the door of the main house, you could see the whole room at a glance, the walls in the room had long been moldy, the wall skin fell off, and there were only a few broken bricks left on the bricks laid on the ground, and there was no home in the room, only some rotten straw mats were thrown at the foot of the wall, and I don't know what to do.

If there is anything else, it is that there is a shrine on the wall of the main house, on which hangs a scroll of land and water paintings, which looks like it has been hung up for a short time. Song Qingshu felt a little strange because it looked new, and seeing that there was nothing to be surprised in other places, he reached out and took off the painting, but what he didn't expect was that there was a small door behind the painting.

Song Qingshu knocked lightly on the door with his gloved hand, and then flew up and kicked the door open.

Inside the door is a room, small but clean and clean, with only a table, a bed and a stool, all of which are exquisite things. But it didn't matter, because there was a person squatting next to the bed in the room at this time.

This man was dark-skinned, and because he was curled up on the edge of the bed, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and he could only roughly see that he was not tall and was dressed in satin clothes.

Song Qingshu subconsciously walked into the house, took out the knife pinned to his waist, and said to him loudly, "Who are you?" Turn around. ”

Hearing Song Qingshu's words, several soldiers who walked in with him also came over with weapons.

Song Qingshu immediately felt that something bad was going to happen, and shouted: "You guys stay where you are, don't move!" "There could never be just one person in the house, they all came over and didn't let the other person who was hiding somewhere else escape.

But his words were still a step too late. He only heard a crackling noise and screams outside, and he didn't dare to go out now, so he picked up something to block his head and lay on the ground.

The chaotic sound soon ended, and Song Qingshu immediately stood up and ran to the door of the dark room, only to see that the soldiers in the room had fallen to the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead. He didn't care to look too much, and rushed out of the secret room with an arrow step, and a figure was about to rush out of the corner of his eye.

Song Qingshu waved his hand and threw the knife in his hand at him, and the man let go of the knife in a flash, and ran out of the door.

The people outside the house didn't react at all, and when they saw this person rushing out of the house, they thought it was their own, and when they saw him rushing to the edge of the courtyard wall, they were about to climb the courtyard wall and climb out.

At this moment, Song Qingshu also rushed to the door of the house and shouted, and everyone woke up like a dream. But at this time, everyone was a few feet away from him, and it was too late to stop him.

Fortunately, one of the few people in the courtyard had a musket with him, and he had loaded it with gunpowder and bullets in advance.

The man's luck was good, and he shot the man in the arm; But the man was very tough, and after being shot in the arm, he struggled to climb over the courtyard wall.

But he couldn't run away after getting out of the courtyard wall. At this time, the person who led people to the wall on this side of him was Feng Delin, who had previously discovered the scene of the Caisheng Cutting Case. He heard the sound of gunshots in the courtyard, and saw a man climb over the wall, and knowing that this person was one of the criminals, he went up and pounced on the man to the ground, and the two rolled together.

Although he didn't see the appearance of this person clearly for a moment just now, he probably saw that it was an old man, and he felt that the ordinary old man should have broken his muscles and bones, although this old man was not ordinary, but he should also be difficult to recover for a while, right?

But he didn't expect that this old man's body was amazingly flexible, as if he had practiced bone shrinking skills, and he twisted around and broke free from half of his body.

Feng Delin had practiced martial arts before, and just now he was careless and let him break free of half of his body, but at this time, seeing this, he used all his strength, and twisted this person three times and two times.

The two were fighting, and only the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard, and people from all directions were rushing over. The man knew that the longer he was entangled, the more difficult it would be for him to get out, so in a hurry, he used all his strength, twisted his body, kicked Feng Delin out, and took the opportunity to roll out.

However, by this time, people from all directions had already rushed over. In addition to seven or eight people, there were two large dogs surrounding the man in the center. When this man saw the situation, he was secretly anxious: not only was he not in good spirits now, but he had also been hit in the arm with a musket, and in his current state he would definitely not be able to outrun the dog.

But he was not one to sit still, no matter how bad the situation was, he had to fight, he reached out and took out a gourd from his body, unscrewed the stopper and threw it at one dog, and he rushed to the other.

The crowd didn't know what was in the gourd he threw out, and they didn't dare to take it, so they took out the things in their hands and waved them wildly; They only heard an inhuman voice, and saw the dog they had brought with them fall to the ground, and a small thing crawling on the dog's body, presumably sensing that the dog was dead, and was about to pounce on the person beside him.

The people around him immediately became scared. To say that they are afraid of death, they may not be too afraid, but they are not willing to be killed by unknown things; What's more, this person is mostly a wizard, and he is very scared to be killed by something so strange as him.

Fortunately, at this time, Song Qingshu turned over from the courtyard wall, and when he saw this small thing 'flying over' towards a person, he immediately took out something from his waist and threw it over, exuding a strange smell.

Strange as it may seem, the little thing stopped in mid-air and jumped to the ground, not moving.

Song Qingshu ran over, took out a small bag from his body, and stretched out his gloved hand to the little thing.

Someone immediately reminded: "Guard Song be careful!" This thing killed a dog just now! ”

"Thanks for the reminder, but I have a way to get this little thing." Song Qingshu said.

When they heard Song Qingshu say this, they didn't say anything more, and watched Song Qingshu put this little thing away.

When Song Qingshu put this little thing away, the matter over there was already over.

The man threw the gourd out and rushed to the other dog. He stretched out his hand and a few black lights flew towards a few people on this side, and several of them were hit by the black light by surprise, and they died without even snorting.

But I didn't expect that everyone was dead, the dog's luck just now was not hit by the black light, this person wanted to escape but was bitten by the dog all of a sudden.

The man looked back and wanted to kill the dog, but he didn't kill it once, and he did not kill it after another beating; At this time, Song Liang had already rushed over with people, and seeing that he was about to run away, he couldn't care about the request to capture the prisoner alive, so he asked people with muskets or bows and arrows to shoot arrows at him.

He dodged a few times, but still couldn't dodge all of them, and after an arrow in his left leg, he staggered to his knees.

Song Liang seized this opportunity and asked the people who came with him to surround the man again, and the man with the bow and arrow in his hand raised the bow and arrow to point at him, and the person with the musket immediately began to load the gunpowder and bullets.

The man was wounded in one arm and one of his legs, and when he saw so many men pointing at him with bows and arrows in their hands, he knew that it was impossible to escape, and he was about to commit suicide.

But he didn't kill himself. Song Liang swung a wooden stick and hit him on the back of the head, and he snorted and fell to the ground. Song Liang immediately ordered him to be handcuffed and shackled, and he was finally relieved: the prisoner was finally caught.
