Zhang Cang arched his hand towards Li Mao and said, "Then please ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince to go with us to the Beizhen Mansion Division to explain." ”

Li Mao said embarrassedly: "It should be, it should be." ”

While Zhang Cang said this to Li Mao, he waved behind his back to Meng Hui and Xiao Yao, who were wearing sackcloth filial piety clothes.

The two received Zhang Cang's signal, and they didn't care about the thin-skinned coffin that fell to the ground, and quietly retreated.

After Xiao Yao's group of people all retreated, Zhang Cang waved his hand at Yigan's subordinates and said, "Take them all away, leave a person from the general flag to take care of these things, and someone will take over later." ”

Li Mao was naturally escorted, but he also followed Zhang Cang, and when he left, he inadvertently glanced back at the coffin that had fallen to the ground, it was empty, not to mention the corpse, not even a ghost.

In a small alley, Xiao Yao and Meng Hui, who had taken off, and a brocade guard took off their filial piety clothes and changed back into their original clothes.

Xiao Yao said while sorting out his clothes: "Good guy, the firearms in this convoy are half of the firearms that have been shipped from Beijing, right?" We finally saved a little face for Jinyiwei this time. ”

Meng replied: "Let's think about what to do with this batch of firearms first, right?" ”

Xiao Yao said: "Do you need to say this? Naturally, it is to bring back our Beizhen Prefecture Division, do you want to send it back to Jingying? ”

After speaking, Xiao Yao took the lead out of the alley, packed up the overturned cars with the person who stayed behind to guard a general flag, and then pulled back to the Beizhen Mansion with the items of the North Korean mission.

Outside the Tongzhou delivery station, Duan Yan took two hundred Jinyi guards to watch not far from the delivery station, the carriages that pulled the goods out of the delivery station, according to the approval on the road, these goods should have gone east, but the group of people from the Haisha Gang actually drove the carriage in the opposite direction, and the delivery station was guarded by the guards of the right guard of the government army, and they didn't even have the batch number right before they directly released the carriage, so more than 40 carriages all left the warehouse door of the delivery station in just tea time.

The Tongzhou delivery station was seized by Jinyiwei A total of forty-three cars of goods, but these more than forty cars of goods out of the delivery station, there was a steady stream of carriages rushing out, but these carriages were no longer going west, but along the official road to the east, until all the carriages came out, Duan Yan counted these carriages going east, no more, no less, forty-three.

Duan Yan only sent a few people to follow the westward convoy, and then took the rest of the people in the direction of the other group of carriages.

Forty-three carriages traveled along the official road for nearly half an hour to the checkpoint of Zhangjiawan, which was originally the bayonet of Shenwu Zhongwei, and at this time all of them had been taken over by Duan Yan's people.

The leader of the team is the deputy leader of the Haisha Gang, and he is naturally quite familiar with the people at various checkpoints all the year round, but this time when he saw the dozen or so people at the Zhangjiawan checkpoint, they were all fresh, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

The checkpoint had already set up to reject the horses, and the leader stopped the carriage and stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are from the Haisha Dart Bureau, and this is the road for this batch of goods." ”

The deputy gang leader of the Haisha Gang said and handed over a stack of road strips, and at the top of the road were a few silver tickets worth one hundred taels, "This batch of goods has been seized in Tongzhou for many days, and the batch number has been checked before being released. ”

Duan Yan, who was the leader, took the road slip and flipped through it casually, and his originally somewhat serious face suddenly turned into a smile and took out those silver tickets, handed the road slip back, and flicked the silver ticket with his hand and said: "With these, it is naturally convenient, our brothers did not come to be on duty so early to check your goods, but the top gave an order, there are a group of wanted criminals fleeing to Miao County, and the brothers have their responsibilities and have to investigate." ”

The man asked, "I don't know what kind of case this group of wanted criminals that the military master is investigating has committed?" ”

"It doesn't hurt to say that it is okay to listen to you, it is a group of flower thieves who picked a few young ladies from the adult families in Beijing, and this is being targeted, na, these are the few people." Saying that, Duan Yan handed over three wanted portraits, and then whispered to the man: "This kind of thing can't benefit a few brothers, if this group of people is really here, you should go back and arrange it quickly, and don't make it difficult for the brothers." ”

The leader of the Haisha Gang took the portrait and looked at it, one had a sharp-beaked monkey's gills, looking like a monkey, the other had a cruel and narrow eyes, looking like a poisonous snake, and the third had an honest peasant face, with a hemp face, and this person among the three looked real, not even like a person who could do flower picking, "The military master said with a smile, our group of people are all real dart walkers, how can they do things like picking flowers." I don't know what these people think, what kind of people can't find when they go to Bada Hutong these days? I have to do some flower picking that can't be put on the table. ”

Duan Yan said with an incomprehensible look: "Who said it wasn't? I just heard that these people are so ugly that even the sisters of Bada Hutong don't want to receive them, that's why they committed such cases. ”

Haisha helped the man laugh dryly and said, "Do you really have such a miserable appearance? Then it's no wonder. ”

The few brocade guards behind Duan Yan were uncomfortable when they heard his words, those three portraits were none other than the portraits of the poisonous snake Xiang Hong, the three-fingered Fan Qiong and the farmer Wang Benliang that they had prepared in advance.

Duan Yan said to the Haisha Gang: "Since there are no such people in the brother team, I have to bother you to call all these guys who are driving the car, let's compare them as usual, and it is better to make a difference between the heads, there are so many pairs of eyes looking at it below, brother, I can't do too much." After speaking, Duan Yan asked as if chatting: "Brother, where are you going to go to Miao County?" ”

The man said: "Where else can we go, the goods we go to Miao County are all going to Tianjin Wei through the Miao River, the military master is so happy, my brother naturally wants to cooperate, I will go and call someone." ”

Duan Yan said again: "I know that you guys carry a piece of dart with you, and when you call people, you put them there and keep them clean, otherwise don't blame the brothers for being unreasonable." ”

The deputy leader of the Haisha Gang thought that this investigation had nothing to do with them, so he simply cooperated well and passed the checkpoint early, so he replied: "It's all according to what the military master said." ”

After a while, all of the forty or fifty people in this line of hula were standing in front of the checkpoint, and several brocade guards pretended to be three portraits one by one, and soon, this group of people was finished, and the brocade guards replied: "My lord, I have checked, there are no wanted criminals to be arrested." ”

Duan Yan nodded and said, "That being the case, then ...... Take them all down for me. ”

"Master Xie!" The leading Haisha Gang saluted Duan Yan and thanked him, and then rushed out a group of Jinyi guards from both sides of the official road, and pulled out the embroidered spring knife to surround the group.

As soon as he saw this battle, the deputy gang leader of the Haisha Gang suddenly felt a big mess, and said, "Master Jun, but what is the misunderstanding?" Doesn't it mean that there are no wanted criminals among us? ”

"That's right, these three main criminals are not among them, but there are many accomplices." As he spoke, Duan Yan took out another stack of wanted portraits from his body, handed them to one of his subordinates behind him, and said, "Go again, yes." ”

The subordinate took the portrait and checked it again, then nodded and said, "My lord, all of them are good, all of them are right." ”

Duan Yan nodded and said, "Tie up." ”

The subordinate flipped through the portraits and muttered, "My lord, this portrait is really good." After speaking, he handed the portrait to the deputy leader of the Haisha Gang and said, "Take a look, it will make you die." ”

The deputy gang leader of the Haisha Gang took the portrait and took a look, where is this wanted portrait, it is clearly a stack of turtles, kings, rabbits, wild boars, and even some sweet potatoes, peppers, etc., at this time he understands that this is the way of people.

At this moment, a few more people jumped out of the long convoy behind and ran towards both sides of the official road, Duan Yan shouted: "There are still those who have slipped through the net, chase them quickly, and none of them can be allowed to run away." ”

Listening to Duan Yan's words, dozens of Jinyi guards standing on the side hurriedly chased after those people, there were crops and groves on both sides of the official road, the wheat bushes in the field were already knee-high, and it was difficult to find if someone escaped as long as they squatted down, and it took a lot of effort for dozens of people to chase into the wheat field and search.

The group of people who escaped was also very fierce, they all had weapons in their hands, and it took nearly half an hour, dozens of people went in to chase and injured five people, and they also let this group of people run away by two.

When this group of people was captured, Duan Yan understood why these people were hiding in the convoy and did not dare to show up, except for the two who ran away, the remaining sixteen people were all Jurchens, so there was no need to think about it to know that these dozens of carriages must be loaded with firearms.

Duan Yan took these people and the carriage, searched out the previous stack of customs clearance slips from the deputy gang leader of the Haisha Gang, and then handed over the people and horses tied up with flowers and horses to a hundred Jinyi guards to take back to the Zhenfu Division Yamen in the capital, and then returned the checkpoint to the guards of the Shenwu Central Guard.

Duan Yan carried the stack of customs clearance strips and took the remaining 100 households along the official road to the west, and the rest of the business was to seek some personal gains, and the forty-three carts of goods heading west, although they were not firearms, were also worth a lot of money together, since the road strips were in his hands, these goods without road strips naturally could not escape the fate of being re-seized, not to mention those Haisha Gang personnel who were responsible for transporting, although they were irrelevant, they also had to be caught and brought back.

After passing through the Tongzhou delivery station, Duan Yan led people to follow the marks left by several people on the Jinyi Wei Road, and did not stop the convoy until they were almost at the gate of the city.
