Chapter 40: The Beginning of the Arrest
Lei Leopard knows that there are a lot of Jiaolong Gang people in so many coolies, after all, none of the more than 200 brothers survived, and a few people can't do it at all. ? ?? Bayi Chinese ???.? 8?1?z ?.? C?o?mSo burning the fainted coolies was just a strategy to force them to take the initiative to identify themselves, and they saved themselves from looking for them one by one.
With great fanfare, it was a wooden frame and tung oil, and the burning formation was not small. Thunder Leopard kept smiling, walking back and forth in front of the coolies with his hands behind his back.
"Hmph, a bunch of gutless rats, how can you just watch your brother being killed?" After waiting for a long time, seeing that everything was ready, he almost caught fire, but the coolies in front of him did not move, and Lei Leopard couldn't help but be a little impatient.
Seeing that no one had moved, Lei Leopard snorted coldly and turned around: "Ignition!" ”
When Fanzi with a torch heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and beckoned to his companion: "Wake him up!" "The enjoyment of torture lies in the desperate and frightened eyes of the tortured person before the execution, and Fanzi is very good at this.
A knife was stabbed on the sole of his foot, and the coolie, who was originally unconscious, stared at his eyes and woke up with a muffled snort. Smelling the smell of tung oil on his body, when he realized what kind of treatment he was going to face, his eyes that were originally full of resentment turned into fear, and he was also there when Qiu Ming was burned that day!
"Help me!" Fear arose in his heart, and the will of the coolies suddenly collapsed, and he screamed desperately, and where his eyes passed, his companions hiding in the midst of the coolies clenched their fists and lowered their heads.
A burst of laughter rang out, and his expression was very useful. Fanzi with a torch grinned around the coolie hanging in the air, the torch stretched and contracted, and every time the coolie was scared into screaming, and his cry could only further arouse Fanzi's teasing thoughts.
Seeing his companions suffer such a **, the Jiaolong gang hidden in the crowd finally had someone who could no longer sit idly by, and a big man suddenly pushed away the two coolies beside him and shouted: "Brothers, fight!" "This big man is none other than Zhang Tanzhu!
The Jiaolong Gang has been rampant in the Yangtze River basin for nearly ten years, but the government is helpless, relying on the elusiveness, no one can imagine that the hiding place of the Jiaolong Gang is in the bustling Zhenjiang Wharf!
As soon as Master Zhang Tan gave the order, the Jiaolong Gang, whose chests were already full of anger, suddenly took action and pounced on the Dongchang Fanzi who was closest to him. And Zhang Tanzhu even rushed straight to Lei Leopard, who was still sneering, and decided to capture the thief first.
He had already looked at it just now, there were nearly three hundred fans in Dongchang, and there were only seventy or eighty brothers in his own side, maybe they could all be wiped out without hurting one person in the water, but on the 6 ground, two to fight one is good, after all, Dongchang's fans don't have two hands.
Therefore, only by killing this leader first can there be a chance of winning, and the fist and foot kung fu himself is the most powerful altar master, and this leader can only be handed over to himself to deal with.
Seeing that his strategy finally worked, Lei Bao smiled slightly, and looked coldly at Zhang Tanzhu, who pounced on him, looking for death!
……
Zhenjiang Wharf was crowded, in addition to the passing merchants, more people heard the news and came to see the excitement. There were many wooden poles on the dock, and on each one hung the corpse of the Jiaolong Gang.
"Have you heard, these are the Jiaolong Gang who have been in power for many years. Look at that, listen to my nephew who is on an errand in the yamen, it is the Jiaolong Gang who advocates vigorously! A member of the crowd who had come to see the excitement whispered to the person next to him.
Cai Wenyuan and Zheng Shanchuan, who were in the crowd, listened to their discussion not far away, their brows furrowed, and they couldn't bear to look at those corpses anymore.
Dongchang's methods were ruthless, not only slaughtering the seventy-eight sect members of Jiaolong Altar, but also cutting off the two hands on each corpse.
"Let's go, let's go back." Seeing Zheng Shanchuan clenching his fists, Cai Wenyuan whispered, turned around and walked back. Zheng Shanchuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and raised his heel.
"Protector Cai, this matter must not be counted like this, otherwise you and I will not be able to explain to the sect leader." Zheng Shanchuan said with a dark face.
"This is natural, but now that our manpower is scattered all over the place, we can't gather at all for a while, and this feud can only be delayed." Cai Wenyuan said helplessly, at that time, when the two hundred people of Dongchang were destroyed, the sect members of Jiaolong Altar should have been evacuated from the dock in advance, so that there would be no tragedy today. I blamed myself for hearing that the more than 200 Dongchang people who had returned to the north were all wiped out, and I was too excited to forget about this stubble.
"Revenge is revenge, where is there any reason to drag it back, there is not enough manpower, I Zheng Shanchuan personally went out, I don't believe that I can't take an iron King Kong thunder leopard!" Zheng Shanchuan slapped the table and snorted angrily.
Cai Wenyuan glanced at him speechlessly, "Brother Zheng, your kung fu junior brother naturally knows that Lei Bao is far from being an opponent, but don't forget, he has more than 300 Dongchang people under him, can you deal with so many people yourself?" ”
Zheng Shanchuan was stunned, and he also knew that he had said something big in anger just now, and Cai Wenyuan was giving himself a step down when he said this. Lei Leopard is known to him, formerly known as Lei Shaodong, and he was also the number one person in the martial arts back then, but later because he was too eager to kill and was not tolerated by his fellow martial arts practitioners, he changed to a Lei Leopard's vest and hid in Dongchang for refuge.
Lei Shaodong was born as a lay disciple of Shaolin, and he was invulnerable to a golden bell cover. This is not the most powerful, the most powerful is his amazing dragon claw hand, he can break a blade made of steel. Therefore, Lei Leopard never uses a blade, and kills people directly with his hands, and his old bones are not enough for him to dismantle. Speaking of Wuwei Sect, the only person who can match him is his brother Zheng Sihai, who has apostate and hid in the capital.
Sighing, Zheng Shanchuan said helplessly: "Okay, then wait for Xiao Xuefeng to come back with people, let's gather people and clean him up." ”
Cai Wenyuan nodded, and then sighed: "Now that Lei Bao is out, I'm afraid that the situation in Jiangnan will be worse, so let's quickly order all localities to gather manpower." "Cai Wenyuan is also very jealous of Lei Leopard, this guy never acts recklessly, he knows how to kill, kill, kill.
In Hangzhou, Shen Chongming, who had just determined the list of arrests in various places, also received the news that Dongchang had killed seventy-eight people at Zhenjiang Wharf, and when he heard that he had slaughtered seventy-eight people in one go, he couldn't help but smack his tongue, it seems that Dongchang is sending a ruthless character.
"Lord Jin, are you familiar with the big stall head of the East Factory, Lei Leopard?" Putting down the secret report in his hand, Shen Chongming turned his head to look at Jin Qianhu.
Jin Mailang, who was drinking tea and preparing to take a breath, heard the name, squirted out the tea in his mouth with a pop, and said in shock: "My lord, do you mean that Lei Leopard came to Jiangnan?" ”
Seeing his big reaction, Shen Chongming couldn't help but be stunned, and nodded in confusion: "Yes, do you know this person?" ”
"No, no, no, who knows him." Jin Mailang waved his hand again and again, not to mention that he didn't know him, even if he was a person in Dongchang, there were few people who had a relationship with Lei Leopard, this guy acted low-key on weekdays, but once he went out, it was bloody and bloody, and he was absolutely evil.
"My lord, let's hurry up and order people to be taken from all over the place, otherwise as soon as Lei Leopard makes a move, there will be no part for us." Jin Mailang paused for a moment and said, Boss Lei is not as easy to deal with as Qiu Laoer, and he doesn't have the courage to ask for someone in front of him.
Looking at this posture, Shen Chongming also knew that this Lei Da stall was not easy to get along, nodded, took the pen and handed the two letters to Ma Erdan, and asked him to immediately send people to Fujian and Guangdong, and cooperate with local governments to carry out a large-scale arrest.
Shen Chongming's idea of handling the case has always been to secretly verify, except for the fact that Qiu Ming was inserted by Qiu Ming here in Hangzhou, and other places can be regarded as undercurrents at most, and Wuweijiao doesn't know that many things have been mastered by Jinyiwei.
At the sound of an order, the brocade guards who had been waiting for a long time immediately took action. The manpower of Jinyiwei alone was not enough for the large-scale arrest, but fortunately, Emperor Longqing had the foresight to give Shen Chongming a holy decree, which could mobilize the manpower of the local yamen, and the manpower of each yamen was mobilized to handle the case in a coordinated manner.
The captain of Jinyi commanded directly, the officers of the yamen rushed to the streets to take people, and the soldiers of the guard station blocked the whole city to restrict access. The atmosphere in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong became tense in an instant, and not only the common people trembled, but even the officials who did not know the situation in advance were too afraid. Ti rode out in all directions, and in a trance saw the situation of the blue jade case during the reign of Emperor Taizu.
Jinyiwei was fully arranged, and as soon as he made a move, he went straight to the point, and the people who had already been identified as suspects of the Wuwei Sect were arrested and put in prison one after another. By the time Wuwei realized that the situation was much more serious than he thought, he was already weak, and he could only watch Jinyiwei arrest people wantonly, and there was no room for resistance.
Most of the people who were caught were Wuwei Sect's big and small leaders, incense masters, hall owners, and the like, and occasionally mixed with a few big fish such as altar masters.
……
The three-day arrest has finally come to an end, Shen Chongming's desk, Cai Wenyuan's desk, and even Lei Bao's desk, who was in Zhenjiang and had just dealt with the aftermath for Qiu Laoer, were full of information, and the three of them had different expressions.
"Hehe, well done!" After hand-picking the number of people who were arrested, Shen Chongming couldn't help laughing, there were as many as sixteen altar masters alone, and there were hundreds of incense masters and pavilion masters below, and there were not a few seized money, grain and weapons, which could be described as a great victory.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Jin Mailang stood in front of Shen Chongming with a smile and arched his hand, according to previous estimates, this time the Wuwei Sect lost at least half of its strength, and most of the people who were arrested were the backbone, even if they let it go from now on, they would not want to recover without a few years.
Shen Chongming smiled, "Rejoice and rejoice, report to the old man immediately, and make his old man happy." ”
Contrary to Shen Chongming, Cai Wenyuan and Zheng Shanchuan, who looked at each other, had a miserable face, and the result was already estimated to be as bad as possible that day, but they still didn't expect that the reality was far from expected, not only did they lose a lot of money, food, and weapons hoarded in various places, but even those heads and brains who had been hidden for a long time were also arrested for nearly forty percent, and the ten years of work were ruined!
The two of them were relatively speechless, and they didn't know how to explain this matter to Sect Leader Zhao Wenyi.
Lei Leopard, who was also in Zhenjiang, also had a somewhat ugly face, and he originally wanted to start working on the Wuwei Sect after dealing with Qiu Laoer's affairs, but he didn't expect Jinyiwei to start in advance, and most of the Wuwei Sect leaders who had already mastered the situation in Dongchang were arrested by them. It's good now, the ugly conditions for Jinyiwei are all gone, and it's difficult to complete the factory bus generation.
After pondering for a long time, Lei Bao still decided to go to Hangzhou to meet Shen Chongming, but to see if this Jinyi Wei commander who dared to expel the Dongchang manpower really had three heads and six arms.
