"My lord, without further ado, the next official will go to the Yamen of the capital, let's arrange it early, and wait for the thief to come to the door!" Chen Xiao got up and smiled.

"Well, go early and return early, but the mobilization of officers and soldiers should not be too many, fifty people are enough." Shen Chongming smiled and nodded.

In the study room of the back office of Hangzhou Mansion, Zhang Miaoshui stood in front of Zhao Zhifu with an anxious face, and said uneasily: "My lord, I didn't expect Hou Baofeng to leave a trick behind him, and it is very likely that what is recorded on that piece of paper is our identity." ”

Governor Zhao glared at Zhang Miaoshui fiercely, and the smile on his face in the past was completely gone, "Rice bucket, why don't you know how to search your body afterwards, if you are careful, how can there be such a big trouble." ”

"My lord, who would have thought that he would have this trick, but the paper doesn't look like it looks like it, Shen Chongming and they are unlikely to see anything." Zhang Miaoshui comforted herself.

"No, it's better to be careful, what if they fumble their way with the handwriting, so they have to snatch this piece of paper back before they can fully figure it out!" Governor Zhao clenched his fists and said.

"Ah, this is unlikely, they must have carried such an important thing with them, and it is unlikely that they will steal it back." Zhang Miaoshui looked embarrassed.

"Stupid, you can't steal it, you have to grab it back when you need to!" Governor Zhao said murderously.

Zhang Miaoshui was shocked, "My lord, what do you say...... Rob?! ”

"Yes, no matter what method you use, you must snatch this piece of paper back, without further ado, you will take someone to act tonight, and if necessary, you can kill you!" Saying this, Governor Zhao's heart was drawing blood, what a good prospective uncle, but he came to trouble himself.

"My lord, this is absolutely impossible, the murder of the upper chagrin is to exterminate the three clans!" Zhang Miaoshui looked frightened, looked at Governor Zhao in disbelief and said.

"Hehehe, do you think that if this case is found out, we will have a good result, and we can afford to gamble! And killing them is also a way to do it once and for all, and then we won't have to worry about it all day long like we are now. Governor Zhao sneered.

Zhang Miaoshui took a deep breath, and he could only do this. Then he looked embarrassed: "But my lord, we have too few people, you must know that the post station has three fast arresters from the criminal department, I don't know how the opponent's kung fu is, and I am not sure that we can get rid of them all." ”

"Don't be afraid, you go back and gather people first, and there will be other masters to help you tonight." The corners of Governor Zhao's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of pride.

"Lord Cai, Xia Guan came to investigate the case on behalf of my criminal department, and I hope you will answer the questions truthfully." There were two tigers standing behind him, and Wu Neng, who was fast catching, said proudly.

Cai Wenyuan smiled: "Although Lord Wu speaks, this official must know everything and say everything." ”

"Well, that's fine." Wu Neng nodded, and then asked: "Then my lord, let's talk about how Zuo Bu's political envoy Guo Mingyi behaves on weekdays, and whether there are any signs of greed for ink?" ”

"This ...... Hehe, Lord Wu is joking, Lord Guo is greedy and will not tell the official. Cai Wenyuan sneered.

Wu Neng thought he had found something, and nodded with a smug smile: "That's very good." According to what this official has seen and heard in the past few days, it was found that Guo Mingyi was arrogant and domineering, and he had monopoly power, could it be that there were no officials in the Yamen of the Political Secretary who reported him to the imperial court? ”

Wu Neng's question was very sharp, Cai Wenyuan rubbed his palms and began to think, and at this moment, a political envoy hurriedly walked in, bowed and said, "My lord, the prefect Zhao Mingda asks to see you." ”

Cai Wenyuan frowned, then returned to normal, turned his head to Wu Neng and smiled: "Lord Wu, you can do it for a while, and the official will come when he goes." After that, without waiting for Wu Neng to agree, he got up and left in a hurry.

"Xiaguan Zhao Mingda pays a visit to Lord Cai." Seeing Cai Wenyuan's arrival, Governor Zhao hurriedly bowed.

"Ahem, Lord Zhao is exempt." Cai Wenyuan waved his hand a little angrily, turned his head to the messenger and ordered, "Go, serve tea to Lord Zhao." ”

Watching the errand officer go out, Cai Wenyuan's face immediately fell, and he lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Lord Zhao, you actually asked to see the official alone at this time, aren't you afraid that others will know about our relationship?" ”

"My lord, there is no way to do it, Shen Chongming and Chen Xiao from the capital actually found a secret letter from Hou Baofeng's corpse today, and it is very likely that it is a participant who recorded the theft of treasury silver!" Governor Zhao said anxiously.

Cai Wenyuan's eyes widened, "Rice bucket, you can't handle such a trivial matter, what's the use of asking you to wait!" ”

"Yes, yes, Xiaguan rice bucket. But don't worry, the paper is broken, and the handwriting on it is not clear, but just in case, the lower official has ordered Zhang Miaoshui to snatch it back tonight, but there are not enough people, so I took the risk to find you. ”

"Even if you are a little assertive, go back immediately and tell Zhang Miaoshui that tonight's people from this official will attract the people from the post station, and let him take people to wait for the opportunity to snatch Hou Baofeng's things back, and no one from the post station will be left!" Cai Wenyuan said, got up and walked out.

Governor Zhao got up and wiped the sweat overflowing from his forehead, and couldn't help but think of Shen Chongming again, I am a prospective uncle, it's a pity.

Cai Wenyuan went back to see that Wu Neng was still there, and now he was too lazy to act in front of him anymore because he had something in his heart, he smiled and said apologetically: "Oh, Lord Wu, I'm sorry, the yamen has some errands, and the official has to go out, if you still have any questions, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Although Wu Neng was not happy, he couldn't say it, so he could only get up and smile and say, "Then the official will come back tomorrow." With that, he walked out with two catchers.

Watching him go away, Cai Wenyuan smiled coldly and said to himself: "Come back tomorrow, hehe, then it depends on your creation." ”

As night approached, Shen Chongming sat motionless in the dark room, with a small firearm in front of him, the trigger was wide open, and the muzzle of the gun was facing the door.

'Whoosh' sounded with the sound of piercing the night sky, and several lanterns in the post station compound were instantly extinguished, and Chen Xiao, who had been sitting cross-legged in front of the door, opened his eyes and stood up with his legs.

"Kill!" With a loud shout, more than a dozen black shadows jumped into the courtyard from the roof courtyard wall, and the cold light of the blades under the moonlight was dazzling!

Chen Xiao smiled coldly, drew his knife and rushed forward to meet it, the cold light appeared, and the thief who rushed to the front screamed miserably and fell to the ground.

After such a while, the other two arresters who had been lurking in the house also swung their knives and killed, and the criminal department arrested quickly, this kung fu was naturally not much worse, and the three of them covered each other for a while and fought with more than a dozen thieves.

Such a loud voice naturally alarmed the other people at the inn, and of course, several officials who passed through knew the news in the evening, and were shivering in the cabinet in the room. The only people who were kept in the dark were Wu Neng and the officials and servants of the post station, shouting and screaming one by one, and they came out with sticks in their hands.

However, when he saw that the people were all holding swords, they all threw down their things and turned their heads and rushed towards the gate. Wu Neng was more unlucky, the war group just blocked his way, and stumbled back to the house with a scream, shouting the word "death" in his mouth.

However, the officials and servants of the post station did not escape, and five people were ambushed outside the gate as usual, and when they saw them open the door, they all swung their swords and killed them, so frightened that everyone turned around and fled back.

Zhang Miaoshui, who had been lurking on the roof with his three subordinates, saw this, and smiled coldly and shouted: "Go! With that, he jumped off the roof and went straight to Shen Chongming's room.

The three subordinates behind him came first, and they rushed in front of Zhang Miaoshui very loyally, and the three of them raised their feet and kicked towards Shen Chongming's door at the same time.

There was a loud bang, the two doors collapsed instantly, Zhang Miaoshui's three subordinates did not hesitate, and rushed in, Zhang Miaoshui was just about to follow up, only to hear a loud 'bang', and the three subordinates who had just entered flew towards him.

The incident happened suddenly, and Zhang Miaoshui was not allowed to dodge at all, and with an exclamation, Zhang Miaoshui was about to fall to the ground by three subordinates.

And Shen Chongming in the room was also taken aback, this thing has never been used, originally thought that the power was just average, but I didn't expect this to be used with the shotguns of later generations, it seems that the ancestor is really a very capable character, such a powerful thing can also be made.

The volume of this sound was loud enough, not only did one shot spray away the three thieves, but even Chen Xiao and the others who were entangled in the courtyard were startled, and the movements in their hands slowed down at the same time, and they all turned their heads to look.

At the same time, the guards who were ambushed in the houses around the post station also said that it was Chen Xiao who sent a signal, and the leading generals shouted, kicked the door and killed them, and the soldiers behind them also rushed out.

"Withdraw!" The leading thief was experienced, and immediately knew that he had been ambushed, and immediately ordered to flee for his life.

Of course, it was not possible to walk through the gate, and everyone had a tacit understanding to help each other jump onto the courtyard wall, ready to jump on the roof and escape for their lives.

However, before the previous few people had time to climb onto the roof, they heard the sound of arrows swishing through the night sky, and some jumped down with an exclamation, and someone fell from the arrow, and the situation was chaotic.
