Chapter 64 The cronies are arrested

On the morning of this day, Zhu Tong, the governor of Yuncheng County, was on his way to the county government when he suddenly received a note from a stranger, saying that a serious murder occurred in Crouching Tiger Village last night, and there was another line of small words at the bottom, and there was important evidence stored in the study on the second floor. Zhu Tong immediately understood, and after arriving at the county office, he ordered a few cronies and immediately rushed to Crouching Tiger Village.

From a distance, he saw the smoke billowing in the Crouching Tiger Village, and when he entered the village gate, he saw that there were corpses lying there on both sides of the passage, and from the clothing, there were masked people in black, and there were also some people who seemed to be the guards and family members in the village, all the way into the main hall of the mansion, but found that the scene inside was even more tragic. Lieutenant Wu was stabbed through the chest, the handle of the knife was held in the hands of the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang, the neck of the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang was cut open, and next to him lay the Wu family Erlang who was holding a steel knife, and the scar-faced man was lying behind Erlang, and there were several people in different costumes lying in the hall, and there were several female dependents lying in the back hall.

Zhu Tong naturally understood the flaws, he didn't say much, and went straight to the study on the second floor, but saw a big box inside, and when he opened it, he saw that it was full of silver, which was five thousand taels, and he knew in his heart that this was the reward left for him.

He called a few subordinates to carry the box down, pointed to the corpses in a hall and said to everyone: "You have all seen it, the situation in front of you is that the Evil Tiger Gang attacked Crouching Tiger Village at night, both sides were defeated, and the rest of the village fled. ”

Seven or eight people in the hall are all Zhu Tong's cronies, and the boss has opened his mouth to qualify, what objections do they have, besides, the big box of heavy silver has already hooked their hearts, and they can't wait to go home immediately to open the box and divide the silver, and they all have no objections.

"That being the case, the time is urgent, I have to rush back to the county government immediately to report to Lord Xu, and kill several dens of the Evil Tiger Gang in the county seat, now that the weather is hot, the corpse should not stay for a long time, so it will be turned into a local." Zhu Tong gave the order.

At this time, the treasury in the backyard happened to be on fire, so everyone threw a bunch of corpses into the warehouse, only to pity the Wu County Lieutenant who had been powerful and blessed all his life but ended up burning the corpse in the warehouse, which is the so-called good retribution, evil retribution.

It was nearly evening when Zhu Tong and the others hurried back to the county office, and he entered the government to report to Xu Zhixian, saying that the evil tiger gang attacked Crouching Tiger Village at night and both sides were defeated, and said that evidence was found in the study of the county lieutenant of Wu, and the assassination of Gu Haotian that day was done by the county lieutenant of Wu, and he was dissatisfied with his dismissal, so he took revenge on Gu Haotian and sent someone to intercept and kill him halfway.

Xu Zhixian didn't expect that County Lieutenant Wu was such a narrow-minded villain, and now that he is dead, he can be regarded as being punished. It's just that the evil tigers should be eradicated as soon as possible to give the people a peaceful life. He asked Zhu Tong to organize manpower to clean up several dens of the Evil Tiger Gang in the county seat.

That night, the Yuncheng County officials went out in a big way to encircle and suppress the Chenghuang Temple, the Sifang Car Dealership and the courtyard outside the West Gate, and the Evil Tiger Gang was uprooted, seized countless materials of various kinds, and rescued many young women in the backyard of the City God Temple, all of which were captured by the Evil Tiger Gang in the county and surrounding areas over the years.

After the evil deeds were announced, the people of the county town were outraged, especially the relatives of the women who gathered in front of the county government and demanded that the villains be sentenced to death.

The people of Yuncheng County applauded the fall of the Evil Tiger Gang, but some people were also panicked about it. On the evening of the next day, in the secret room of a teahouse in the county seat, the two men sat speechless, who are these two people, that is, when the county lieutenant of Wu wanted to intercept and kill Gu Haotian, the two people who were sent to contact the Evil Tiger Gang, named Zhao Neng and Zhao De, are the number one cronies of the county lieutenant in the county government, if there is no accident, these two people later became the governor, and Zhu Tong went to Songjiazhuang for the second time to arrest Song Jiang is the two of them.

"Brother, do you see that the Evil Tiger Gang and the Wu County Lieutenant killed each other, is it credible?" For a long time, Zhao had to ask.

"Hmph, what is the relationship between the two of them, others may not know, don't you and I still know, you also believe the words." Zhao Neng sneered.

"Then you see the matter of the two of us, do you know about Yali and Gujiazhuang?" Zhao De hesitated and asked again.

"You must know that the birthday banquet of the county lieutenant of Wu that day, the county government also passed over, these people all saw it, last night to encircle and suppress the evil tiger gang, the yali was exhausted, but they didn't call us over, aren't these all obvious that we can't believe us." Zhao Neng replied.

"How's that to be?" Zhao De was obviously flustered.

A long silence followed.

"This is the only way to go."

"Brother, what else is there to do?" Zhao De saw that Zhao Neng had an idea and asked urgently.

"Do you remember that the two of us went to Jinling Town for County Lieutenant Wu a few years ago?"

"You mean to find the second master." Zhao De also reflected.

"Yes, the second master is another dark chess piece that the county lieutenant put outside, and now only the two of us know, the second master of Crouching Tiger Village must not know, and the second master will be grateful and reuse the two of us when he goes to the past, it is better than spending the day in a panic here." The head of Zhao Neng's analysis is Dao.

"What my brother said is reasonable, let's go to Jinling Town to eat and drink spicy food, and no one can help us." Zhao De saw that Zhao Neng was reasonable, and immediately relaxed.

After that, the two drank tea for a while, and then left with a smile and a smile. Shilixiang Restaurant, not long after the two left, someone reported their movements to Zhu Guiyu. When he was in Crouching Tiger Village, Gu Haotian knew that Wu County Lieutenant had confidants in the county government for decades, and if he didn't clear them, he would suffer from them in the future, so he only threatened Wu Erlang slightly, and that guy confessed to them, so Gu Haotian specially told Zhu Gui to stare at these two people to death.

After Zhu Gui got the report, he knew that there must be something wrong with these two people, so he ordered his subordinates to keep an eye on it, and he rushed to Gujiazhuang overnight to find Gu Haotian to report the news.

After Gu Haotian did the last thing in Crouching Tiger Village last night, he returned to Gujiazhuang, he wanted to wait for the matter of Yuncheng to be over, go to visit Lord Xu to learn from the scriptures, and then go back to Liangshan to escape the summer and read quietly for a few months, so as to participate in the "Autumn Festival".

Zhu Gui's information made Gu Haotian feel that Zhao Neng and Zhao De might still have secrets on them, otherwise the two of them who would immediately face the disaster would be able to go out so with peace of mind after sitting in the teahouse for a while.

"You go back immediately, send more people, especially watch the waterway, and you must not let these two slip away." Gu Haotian thought that Yuncheng was close to Shuibo, and if they were allowed to enter Shuibo freely, it would be difficult to control.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhao Neng and Zhao De went straight to the dock outside the city and hired a boat to go in the direction of Shuibo. Zhu Gui was secretly glad in his heart when he heard the report, fortunately, the petty officials had foresight, otherwise there would really be a mistake. While he sent someone to inform Gu Haotian, he took another boat to follow.

Let's say that Zhao Neng and Zhao De entered the water park smoothly in the boat, and their hearts suddenly settled down, even if someone found out that they had escaped, the two took out the wine and food to eat and drink with peace of mind.

Near noon, the boat entered the waters around Liangshan, and at that moment a fishing boat approached the front.

"There's a big fresh carp here at the shopkeeper, but I have to buy some wine." A fisherman in his twenties, carrying a live carp, asked.

"Brother, the big fish, but we are blessed." Zhao De was overjoyed.

"Boatman, how much."

"It's okay, just get some wine money and me." The fisherman is also bold.

Zhao De saw that he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it over, and stretched out his hand to catch the fish, who knew that the distance between the two boats suddenly swung a few feet when he just caught the fish, Zhao De's center of gravity was unstable for a while and fell into the water, Zhao Neng hurriedly pulled it with his hand on the side, and finally the two fell into the water together. The fisherman saw this and immediately jumped into the water to save him, but he was held by the two and sank faster, and after a while, the three of them disappeared, leaving only a few circles of ripples on the surface of the lake.

When the boatman was stunned, two boats came up one after the other, and they were caught between the fishing boat and the passenger boat.

"Boatman, why are you standing here?" A yellow-bearded man asked, standing on the bow of the boat.

"The guest officer didn't know that the two guests in the boat and the fisherman on the boat bought fish, and they didn't want to fall into the water together, and they didn't see life and death and how to do it." The boatman saw that the three lives were gone, so he was naturally panicked and scared.

"It's a matter of the land, this water is bottomless, I'm afraid it's more auspicious. Are the shipwrecks familiar with the two guest officers? The yellow-bearded man asked.

"I've never met." The boatman replied.

"But it is your blessing, if you are familiar, in the future his family will be with you to please people, you and leave quickly, there are many ships coming and going here, in case there are familiar ships come to bump into you, I am afraid that there will be trouble again."

After listening to the words of the yellow-bearded man, the boatman was awe-inspiring, thanked him, and hurriedly rowed away.

"Brother Little Five can come up." When the passenger ship was gone, the yellow-bearded man laughed and shouted.

"These two birds are heavy, tired to death, Brother Zhu Gui come over and help me pull it." As he spoke, the fisherman's head poked out from the outside of the fishing boat.

The yellow-bearded man is Zhu Gui, but the fisherman is Ruan Xiaowu, after Gu Haotian got the letter, he and Ruan Xiaoqi immediately took a few people to Liangshan quickly, and let Ruan Xiaowu wait in the channel on the edge of Liangshan, because the water area from Yuncheng County to the north is where the ship must pass. Only then did Ruan Xiaowu design to pull the two of them into the water, and Zhu Gui's two boats were just inserted in the middle, blocking the sight of the boatman, Ruan Xiaowu floated up and leaned against the outside of the fishing boat after the two of them were stunned, and it was also his water-based talent who supported the boat to leave.

With the help of Zhu Gui and others, Zhao Neng and Zhao De were thrown into the cabin like two dead fish. The crowd turned the bow of the boat and headed towards Liangshan.
