At noon the next day, Gu Hao woke up, and the first thing that caught his eye was Pan Jinlian's pretty face with pear blossoms and rain.

After Gu Haotian's accident last night, Zhu Gui felt that Gujiazhuang was short of manpower, and sent people to Liangshan overnight to move rescue troops, and everyone on the mountain heard the surging feelings, all asked to go down the mountain to take revenge, and finally Wen Huanzhang and Zhou Tong made a decision, Ma Xun led 30 members of the personal guard battalion, and transferred two battalion commanders and Duan Jingzhu and others, Wen Huanzhang personally led down the mountain, and Ruan Xiaoqi rushed over by boat overnight, leaving Zhou Dong to sit on the mountain. When Pan Jinlian heard the news, she wanted to come with her, and Wen Huanzhang had to agree.

"Lian'er, why are you here?" Gu Haotian called weakly.

"Little official, you're awake!" Pan Jinlian screamed in surprise, and then tears poured out uncontrollably, "I'm scared of Lian'er." She held Gu Haotian's hand tightly and said in a choked voice.

"When?"

"It's almost noon, oh, little official, you rest, I'll call the doctor." At this time, Pan Jinlian thought of the doctor, quickly wiped her face, turned around and went out.

After a while, Dr. Gao, Gu Zhen, Li, Wen Huanzhang and others came in together, and Dr. Gao carefully checked the pulse, looked at the wound again, and said with some surprise:

"The physique of the petty official is different from ordinary people, only more than one night, this wound has actually grown, and the pulse has stabilized, it seems that there is no need for ten days, I am afraid that it will be recovered in four or five days."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Gu Haotian knew in his heart that the reason why he recovered so quickly was that in addition to his usual martial arts physique, he was afraid that it was due to the three pills of Erxian Mountain.

"Doctor Gao, how is Bian Xiang?" Gu Haotian's first thought was this brother who was inseparable from life and death.

"Bian Xiang is only overly affected and has some skin injuries, so he will be recuperated for a few days, so there is no need to worry." Doctor Gao replied.

"What happened last night, can you have eyebrows?" Gu Haotian was relieved when he heard that Bian Xiang was fine, and then asked about last night.

"This matter has been sent to the county government to report to the official, Zhu Dutou also took people to see the scene, and the relevant personnel in the village have also been sent out, but you can't be in a hurry, you take care of yourself first, and then it's not too late to talk."

Wen Huanzhang saw that Gu Haotian's body was still very weak, and he couldn't rush this matter for a while, so he asked everyone to disperse first, leaving only Gu Zhen and his wife and Pan Jinlian to guard in the room.

Let's say that Xu Churen received a report from the Gu family this morning, saying that Gu Haotian and the two were seriously injured when they were intercepted and killed on their way home last night, and they were furious. In his opinion, this matter is not only aimed at Gu Haotian, but also a naked slap in the face, which is obviously to give him the magistrate of the county! He called Zhu Tong and ordered him to immediately lead someone to investigate strictly.

Zhu Tong is also the head snake of the local area, he naturally thinks of Wu County Lieutenant, and also thinks of the black and white forces he has cultivated in Yuncheng County for decades. But he didn't dare to move lightly, those under his command were still subordinates of Wu County Lieutenant a few days ago, who knew that it was his henchman, and if he was careless, he would startle the snake, but he couldn't stop there.

Ten mile incense business was just right that night, and the diners in the room were talking about last night's assassination. Gu Haotian is the current idol-level figure in Yuncheng County, and his experience has made everyone indignant and scolded. Zhu Tong also came to Shilixiang, Zhu Gui welcomed him into the private room, and Zhu Gui was sent back to the county seat by Wen Huanzhang in the morning to inquire about the news.

"This county has not been very peaceful these days!" Zhu Tong drank a few glasses of wine and seemed to be a little drunk.

"Who's to say it's not." Zhu Gui responded.

"I don't want Lieutenant Wu to just leave on the front foot, and those people who kill will be restless, if it is not for me Zhu Tong, I will not be able to kill anyone." Zhu Tong grumbled while drinking.

"Is the governor in trouble?" Zhu Gui asked tentatively.

"The shopkeeper Zhu didn't know, the county lieutenant Wu had been in charge of security and theft in Yuncheng County for decades, and he was in awe of both black and white, and now he suddenly left his post, and those pickled and splashed skin were like moving to a mountain on his head, and the original dead are now alive again. Have you ever heard that the evil tiger gang has heard that when I saw Wu County Lieutenant before, he was like a grandson, and now he has returned to his soul, I heard that he came out to make trouble a few days ago, and the old man is only afraid that he will not have a peaceful birthday in the future! Zhu Tong held the wine bottle and talked indiscriminately.

Zhu Gui listened quietly, but secretly wrote down the words "Evil Tiger Gang" in his heart. Zhu Tong came over today and seemed to use wine to drown his sorrows, but in Zhu Gui's opinion, he came here at this juncture, which had another deep meaning. When I wanted to ask Zhu Tong again, I found that he was asleep on the table.

That night, Zhu Gui rushed back to Gujiazhuang, and it happened that Shi Qian and Duan Jingzhu also came back, and several people met at Wen Huanzhang.

Duan Jingzhu has some ability, so Wen Huanzhang brought him over to check the source of the horses, and he really lived up to his expectations and found some traces.

"That horse is a war horse that the Western Army has retreated from, and I have walked all over the carriage shops in the city today, and I only saw the same horse in a shop called the Sifang Carriage Shop in the west of the city."

"In the morning, I followed the path of those people last night to look for it, maybe they were in a hurry at that time, and the footprints in front of them were very obvious, but when they reached the west gate, it was difficult to distinguish." When the sky was light, I searched for footprints.

"I found out that the Evil Tiger Gang is also in Ximen." After Zhu Gui reported Zhu Tong's abnormality at night, he also told the situation he had discovered.

"Simon - the Evil Tiger Gang, it seems that the crux of the problem is here, don't alarm him for the time being, just keep an eye on the periphery, and watch those people interact with them, and it's not too late to get solid evidence before you start." Wen Huanzhang lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then he had a plan.

There is a quadrangular car shop next to the west gate of Yuncheng County, and the shopkeeper of the car dealer is surnamed Wang, but in fact, he also has an identity as the deputy head of the Evil Tiger Gang, and the Quartet car dealer is just an eyeliner of the Evil Tiger Gang in the county seat.

At this moment, the shopkeeper Wang was drinking with the two men in the inner room. The two were both about forty years old, and they had fierce faces.

"I missed the day before yesterday, and the helper was very angry, and I told you to be careful recently, and you will not be exposed, but it may be difficult to succeed next time." A middle-aged man on the left sighed.

"I know that the kid of the ancient family really lives up to his reputation, and there are some capable people under him, if he is not careless that day, he will not be so easy to succeed, so he said that the one called Bian Xiang is really a hard stubble, more than ten of us attacked him for half an hour, and he was still protecting a wounded, but he still couldn't succeed." Shopkeeper Wang also sighed.

"What kind of bird's hard stubble, if it weren't for the good luck of that guy, it would only take another quarter of an hour for the master to chop them into meat sauce."

The scar-faced man on the right is still wearing a bandage on his right hand, but his tone is very hard, this guy is the number one thug of the Evil Tiger Gang, and it was he who led people to set up an ambush that day.

"The king's shopkeeper's carriage will not have flaws, right?" The middle-aged man didn't answer his words, but only asked the king's shopkeeper.

"There's no need to worry about this, this horse is an old horse retreated from the Western Army, and ordinary people can't see it on weekdays." The shopkeeper was very confident in this.

"It's a tight situation, everyone should be careful." The middle-aged man commanded again.

The three remained in the carriage until late in the evening, when the other two crept out the back door, only to see them get into a carriage, go around a few alleys, and enter the back door of a temple. This temple is large in scale and has colorful eaves paintings, but it is a famous city god temple in the county.

At about ten o'clock that night, a light shadow quietly sneaked into the backyard of the City God Temple, and that person was Shi Qian.

Let's say that Wen Huanzhang and others heard the report in the evening, saying that after two men stayed in the Sifang car shop for a day, they entered the backyard of the City God Temple, and one of them was also injured in the arm.

The city god temple is three before and after, the last courtyard is the warehouse for putting sundries, so there is a courtyard wall between the first two courtyards, only one door is connected, and the idlers are usually locked to prevent idlers from entering. On an old locust tree on the back wall of the potential courtyard at this moment, he found that this courtyard was very large, with about seven or eight main rooms, one door in front and one in the back, and all of them had gatehouses, which were guarded by people in black.

At this time, Shi Qian had already concluded that this must be the den of the Evil Tiger Gang. He looked carefully for a while, and found that a room on the left side of the hall was lit, and there were still people guarding the door.

"Sixth, why have you been gone for a long time, the old man is about to suffocate to death."

"Seeing the brothers gambling money, my hands itched and pressed twice, don't you come back, you go by yourself."

Shi Qian found that there was a secret post under the rockery, and he almost accidentally touched the road, so he had an extra heart, and looked at it carefully, and found that there was also a rockery in the front yard, which should also be equipped with a secret whistle, and these two places just monitored the entire yard one after the other. However, Shi Qian is a master of this way, and naturally has his means, I saw that he moved in the dark a few times, and then ran up to the roof, and climbed to the bright roof like a raccoon cat, and opened a tile crack to look down, but saw that there were three people sitting inside, and the first one sitting was a young man in his thirties, and his appearance was good, but his face was gloomy and frightening, and the two people who sat down were the two people who were in the square car shop in the afternoon.

"It's not as usual now, County Lieutenant Wu is not in the ya, no one covers it for us, and the old man surnamed Xu is biting us again, fourth, the wind has been tight recently, you take those more than ten brothers to Zhuangzi to avoid the limelight." The young man said gloomily.

The fourth child was the scar-faced man with an injured arm, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he lowered his head again in the cold gaze of the young man.

"Let's go." The young man drank again, and the fourth child stood up helplessly and muttered out.

"Third brother, you tell the brothers below to be more restrained in recent days, don't cause trouble, otherwise they will all be chopped up and fed to the dogs." The young man turned to another and commanded another.

Shi Qian crouched on the roof for a long time, but he didn't see the fourth man going out from the front and back doors, and he felt strange in his heart, just now the young man ordered him to leave immediately, there must be another passage. When he was puzzled, he found that there were some noises coming from the house on the right, he crawled over and looked down, but saw that there was an offering table below, a divine seat, and a statue of Emperor Guan on the top, and more than ten black-clothed people were inside, only to see that the old four turned the incense burner in front of the divine seat to the right, and the statue of Emperor Guan actually moved to the right, revealing a hole below, and after more than ten mermaids penetrated in, the statue automatically returned to its original position.

After diving for a while, the lights in the courtyard were turned off, and there was no movement. Shi Qian opened a small opening in the roof tiles, took out a rope around his waist and tied a slipknot on the beam, leaned down and returned the tiles to their places, the whole action was smooth, worthy of being an expert. He followed the movements of the fourth child, moved the statue and jumped in, found that it was a long tunnel, fumbled for a while to find the switch to return the statue to its place, and then walked along the tunnel. This tunnel can just be a person go straight, every other section there is an oil lamp lighting, Shi Qian walked about a pillar of incense time and found that the road began to rise, then he knew that he was about to reach the exit, he cautiously sneaked over, and after a while he saw a wooden door, he listened to the door for a while, and there was no sound outside. It was also his skill and courage that he saw that he gently opened the door with a little tricks, and it was just a room with a pile of wood, and no one guarded it, and the people who wanted to come to the Evil Tiger Gang were more at ease with this head, and they didn't care about what means to use.

Shi Qian quietly leaned out, and found that it was a two-entry courtyard, and he was in the wing room between the two, and he sneaked to inspect it again, and saw that those black-clothed people were sleeping with their heads covered, and were about to retreat, but suddenly saw four or five carriages parked in the front yard, thinking that these people had to go elsewhere, so he found a place to rest for a while, and waited for dawn to see what was going on.
