Zhao Xing looked back and saw that the only people who followed him were Li Ying and Zhang Bantou, and several officials were still in the building to control the situation. Zhao Xingxin's newly hired servants did not find any shadows.

Zhao Xing didn't say a word, and grabbed the shield in Li Ying's hand. Li Ying seemed to have grabbed the shield very tightly, but Zhao Xing snatched it lightly, and the shield had reached his left hand.

The blood-stained Tang knife was stuck on the ground by Zhao Xing, and Cheng Xun rushed forward and handed him a black one-handed knife. Zhao Xing carried a knife in his hand and turned his helmet to observe the surrounding environment.

Li Ying and Zhang Bantou, who stood side by side with Zhao Xing. At this time, the dog who let go of the leash just now was standing in front of the room and barking wildly in the room, Cheng Shuang held a single knife in one hand, leading another dog to bark side by side with it. Under Zhao Xing's signal, the Xiao brothers took out a folding crossbow from their sleeves and were installing crossbow arrows. After handing over the knife, Cheng Xun retreated behind Zhao Xing and waited according to the knife.

After the Xiao brothers put on the crossbow arrows, Zhao Xing set up his shield, step by step, without hesitation or pause, and walked steadily towards the door. Cheng Xun took a step forward, filled Zhao Xing's vacant seat, and stood beside Li Ying and Zhang Bantou.

A bench was thrown out of the room and slammed on the shield, Zhao Xing paused slightly, continued to stand the shield in his left hand, and the sword in his right hand rested on the shield, insisting on moving forward.

Porcelain plates, clay pots, and clay pots were thrown out of the windows...... They fell on Zhao Xing's body like raindrops, most things, Zhao Xing only had a shield slightly to cover, small pieces, he simply let these things fall on his body, and continued to move forward without moving.

"Don't come, don't come, I'll kill him or her if I come again," shouted the man in the room.

They still have knives?

In the past half a day, the other party has not shot an arrow. Only then did Zhao Xing remember the restrictions on bows and crossbows in the Great Song Dynasty.

Haha, a bandit without a bow and crossbow, his own outfit will inevitably kill the chicken.

Zhao Xing didn't mean to pause at all, and Cheng Xun shouted behind him: "Kaifeng Mansion arrests thieves." The people in the house immediately abandoned their weapons and surrendered, otherwise, they would be killed. ”

Cheng Xun is telling the people in the house: The officials catch thieves and don't care about hostages at all; After the people in the house killed the hostages, they happened to be captured; So the best thing they could do was to abandon their weapons and surrender immediately to alleviate their guilt.

Zhang Bantou stood next to him and did not condemn Cheng Xun for fraudulently using the name of the Kaifeng Prefecture, because there were too many things happening at the scene and too quickly. At this moment, Zhao Xing had already walked to the door, he picked up his shield and slammed his body against the wooden door. Double-click......

The people in the room were already hoarse, and he shouted, "I'm going to stab, I'm going to stab." ”

"Surrender!" Cheng Xun ignored the feeble shouting.

The window opened abruptly. A table was thrown out; At the same time, Zhao Xing had already slammed open the door with a "boom".

At the moment when Zhao Xing slammed the door open, a figure rolled out of the window, he landed on the ground and did not stand firmly, raised his eyes and saw the crossbow bow in the hands of the Xiao brothers, so he rolled down the window edge, but the expected crossbow arrow did not shoot. The Shaw brothers were just holding their crossbows in a sighting motion, as if waiting for the order to shoot. This moment of relaxation gives this person a chance to turn over. He scurried under the thrown table and hid.

When the people in the room saw that this man was not dead, two more people immediately jumped out, and they immediately fell into the same situation, but the Xiao brothers still did not shoot......

Right now. There was only one thin man left in the room and by the bed. He held a knife in his hand and pointed at a sleeping woman on the bed, and shouted hoarsely at the broken window, "You guys...... It has been said that there are blessings to be shared. There are difficulties in the same ...... Ahhhh......h

When this person said the second half of the sentence, his voice had already fallen, because Zhao Xing had already walked into the room with heavy steps, he glanced at the room, and saw Chen Gongchuan tied up in a ball on the ground, and his eyes suddenly widened...*............%&, this guy was tied up naked and thrown in the corner, and he was still sleeping soundly, dripping with saliva.

Zhao Xing ignored the knife in the man's hand, he walked heavily in front of Chen Gongchuan, and found that because of the cold, Chen Gongchuan's skin was a little blue, he swung the knife to cut the rope that bound Chen Gongchuan, picked him up horizontally, and walked to the side of the bed.

The woman sleeping soundly on the bed was Chen Yiniang, her clothes had been half undone, and the guy in front of the bed was still holding a knife, looking at Zhao Xing who was approaching in a daze.

When the steel monster walked to the side of the bed, Zhao Xing gently carried it on his shoulder, and the man was knocked to the side. Zhao Xing put Chen Gongchuan on the bed and covered the quilt. Seeing the man cowering in the corner, still holding the knife in his hand, he lifted his face armor, smiled at the other party, and slowly walked to the other party's side. first shook his head regretfully, gently took off the knife in the other party's hand, and then gently picked up the other party, patted and patted the other party's shoulder, tried to make the person stand straight, and then smiled at the other party gently, suddenly swung his fist, and the iron fingers beat the other party's face.

A terrible scream resounded through the sky, and then, the sharp iron fingers slashed through the other party's carotid artery, and the screams came to an abrupt end, leaving only a hissing sound and body twitching in the room.

Zhao Xing dropped the paralyzed body**, picked up the shield and walked by the window, looked at the edge of the window, and then, set up the shield, got up, and hit the windowsill with the shield.

The hut made of mud could not withstand such a savage assault: all at once, the earthen embryo of the windowsill was loose; In the second time, the window frame fell out and fell; The third time, the place where the windows were originally set became a door, and Zhao Xing stepped on the broken soil all over the ground and walked outside the house.

Several people hidden behind the table looked at the ironclad man who appeared behind them in horror, and watched Zhao Xing walk up to them and kick down the table...... The whole world is quiet.

Zhang Bantou had been looking at the battle situation, and after the battle, he looked through the broken window to observe the people in the room who were falling into dying convulsions, and shook his head: "It's not Bu Qing, Bu Qing is still alive...... Big official, it's not good, Bu Qing slipped through the net, this matter is not over! ”

Zhao Xing took off his helmet, pointed to the mutilated house, and said, "The two bitter masters in the house are my relatives, Zhang Bantou, please collect evidence...... This house, I think, must be their stronghold, since they hid their abductors here. Then the stolen goods must have been hidden nearby as well. Zhang Bantou had better search carefully...... Well, my relatives have been stripped naked, and the things on him alone are worth a lot, the team leader, my people will search with you. I just want to get my lost items back. ”

When Zhang Bantou heard Zhao Xing's emphasis on "just wanting", he immediately understood, and he said excitedly: "Big official, I don't have enough people, those people have to keep an eye on the building and search here...... It's better for me to go back and call a few more brothers to come and search Fan Lou thoroughly to see where Bu Qing is hiding. ”

Zhang Bantou was excited-all the living mouths were cut by Zhao Xing, and it was not up to him to decide with Zhao Xing how many stolen goods were found. Coupled with the fact that the bitter master is in the house, Bu Qing's sin is already a certainty. Such a big bet. It's not a matter of one or two thousand, and it may even make the participants rich immediately.

He couldn't swallow this huge amount of money alone, so he thought of finding more helpers.

Zhao Xing nodded. Zhang Bantou rushed out, Li Ying trembled, and asked tremblingly: "Big official, is it over?" Are you looking for a Lang Zhong to see Chen Gongzi? ”

"It's not over yet", Zhao Xing's hand didn't put down his blood-dripping knife, after saying this, I don't know what hint he gave, Cheng Xun, who was standing next to Li Ying, turned his hand. Put the knife on Li Ying's neck.

"What is this for, great official? I'll work for you before and after the saddle,......" Li Ying said in a sway.

Zhao Xing didn't seem to see the knife on his neck, and he asked calmly, "Have you inquired about Zhou Bangyan?" ”

Zhao Xing's voice was very kind. Seeing that Zhao Xing was so amiable, Li Ying couldn't help but relax his nervousness and replied: "I heard that Master Zhou has been demoted to a professor in Luzhou, and he will leave Beijing in about five days, which happens to be the Cold Food Festival...... Great officials. Quickly ask your disciple to get the knife out of the way. What is this for? ”

Zhao Xing raised his face to the sky and thought for a while. With a wave of his hand, he beckoned the Xiao brothers to relieve him. He straightened his arms, and while enjoying the service of the Xiao brothers, he said slowly, "I have a few questions that I would like to ask you......"

As soon as he heard this familiar word, Cheng Shuang's spirits perked up, and Cheng Xun's eyes lit up.

Cheng Xun didn't go around with Zhao Xing, he was a bastard, and Zhao Xing thought he lacked understanding, so he didn't explain many things to him. And Cheng Xun listened to the brothers talk about Zhao Xing's story of "wisdom", and he had long been yearning, and when he heard this familiar word today, his hands tightened, and he listened attentively.

It didn't matter if his hand was tight, Li Ying had already felt the sharp blade cut into his neck, and faintly, he raised his neck to sting, as if there was liquid flowing out, and he immediately shouted for help. Zhao Xing didn't seem to be aware of it, and continued to say with his face up.

"The first question is: I have not been in Tokyo for a long time, how do the washer's troublemakers know about me? How do you know Chen Gongzi?

…… Don't tell me I've been to Goolan Washer and that's why they're being targeted—it's okay to fool others, but not to me. I went to Golan a few times, and it was all a room booked for me by the restaurant industry, and from beginning to end, I had no contact with those pounders at all......

Don't tell me that Chen Gongzi was targeted when he was rewarding - at the beginning, several people in the room: Chen Yiniang was the party, and it was impossible for her to dare to divulge the things at that time after I told her; Qin Guan Qin lives in my house, and he has no chance or disdain to touch the pounder; Zhou Bangyan degraded out of Beijing, and it was too late to deal with his family wealth in the past few days, so how could he have spare time to deal with troublemakers.

As for Chen Gongzi, he himself knew the severity, and it was impossible for him to divulge his situation at that time. Also, Liao Xiaoxiao has been very close to me these days, she got my help to cope with the stage performance that night, hiding my identity is beneficial to her, the more mysterious I am, the more face-saving she is, how can she spread it around.

Except for these people, only you and the turtle slave know that Chen Gongzi is rich and once threw a pearl as a reward. Therefore, one of you and Gui Nu'er must tell others: The person who ransomed Chen Yiniang's body is the one who threw out the South China Sea to reward Yiniang with the beads.

Don't tell me it's the bustard's fault; Don't tell me that Chen Gongzi and Lao Bustard couldn't negotiate the price, so there was a dispute - Chen Yiniang told me that she was a free body, and as a free body, she could bid farewell to Washe for 800 times, which was already a very high price. Perhaps, if it weren't for Chen Yiniang's new reward from Hainan and her high reputation, she wouldn't have needed a ransom of 800 yuan, but in any case, the bustard's mother should be satisfied with this price.

I have already told him in advance, Chen Gongzi took out the 800 yuan, spent three days negotiating time before and after, and repeatedly asked for less payment and installment payment, to show that he was not generous. Not rich - in this case, who would know that Chen Gongzi is worth kidnapping? ”

The armor on Zhao Xing's body was removed by the Xiao brothers, and he inserted the single knife in his hand into the sheath, and did not even wipe the blood stains on the knife in advance, and pouted with him. The Shaw brothers had put away the long knife he had planted in the ground, and the weapons were wrapped in sheets and set aside. After doing all this, Zhao Xing approached Li Ying with a kind smile with his empty hands...... But the more amiable he was, the more Li Ying felt that the other party's smile was very treacherous, full of gloomy atmosphere.

"Look at this Fan Tower, it's open every day, what does that mean? It shows that those people still have a scruple about doing things, and they will not harass customers at will - even the Mash Head Office can abide by the rules of buying and selling. Yi Niang's bustard took the money, she and Yi Niang were clear, how could she break the rules. What about kidnapping people?

Therefore, there must be another group of people, a group of people who know the identity of Chen Gongzi. Who will this group be? Who would know that Chen Gongzi went to ransom Yiniang, and how many people knew his route home?

You're right, it's impossible for Chen Gongzi to find a small sedan chair to take him home, and it's impossible for the sedan chair driver in the big sedan chair to go without following his instructions, so someone must have led Chen Gongzi to that road? Who? Who can make Chen Gongzi trust the other party's guidance? The turtle slave who was there at the time couldn't do this. Except for you.

Where were you yesterday? Don't tell me that Chen Gongzi met the group of troublemakers by chance - Bianliang City is accessible in all directions, who will ambush people when Chen Gongzi goes out. Ambush on the road he chose? No one in Tokyo has a mobile phone or a car, so the people involved in the kidnapping can only be prepared and mobilized in advance?

Tell me, how did you get in touch with them? ”

Li Ying didn't know what the word "mobile phone" meant. But Zhao Xing's words were logical. He didn't know how to justify.

Zhao Xing hasn't said yet: There is no photography technology in this era, and you want to inform others of Chen Gongzi's appearance. Unless you stand in front of Chen Gongzi and point it out to others. The Lotus Fang Turtle Slave didn't have the time or the energy, but the only person who could make Chen Gongchuan trust and guide him into the robbery alley, and who could also identify others, was Li Ying.

This leaves Li Ying unjustifiable.

Cheng Xun grabbed tighter, Li Ying suddenly surged with anger, and he hissed and shouted: "The big officials treat me unfairly, I, Li Ying, are worthy of the big officials!" ”

"How is it unfair?"

"On that day, the big officials watched the catch up downstairs in Hele, and they casually rewarded the people who took advantage of it, and I Li Ying ran before and after, and supported it until midnight, but I didn't get two gold coins, the big officials treated me like this, how could I be convinced?"

Zhao Xing sighed and asked suspiciously: "Hurry up and give me a performance, I will reward him with money, is it my money or your money?" My money, to whom do I give it, and what does it have to do with you? Why do you have a problem with me allocating my money? ”

Li Ying swallowed, he looked at Zhao Xing in disbelief, and felt incredible—there was such a truth in the world.

"I am all the people who grew up under me", Zhao Xing let out a sigh of emotion and continued: "Well, of course, if you can jump on the pole to give me a performance, my gold coin also belongs to you......

Do you think two gold coins are less? Are you upset about this? How much does a county magistrate pay a month? Fifteen times, you lasted until midnight, but you earned five times more than a seven-pin county commander, do you feel very aggrieved about this? How can there be such a truth in the world!?

Hurry up and entertain me, how much money I want to give him is my business, because it is my money that is spent, why do you feel unfair? Feeling that I treat you poorly, don't you think your dissatisfaction is very dissatisfying? ”

Li Ying felt that the knife on his neck was sinking deeper and deeper, but he was still very hard, and replied loudly: "That group of Japanese people carried a wooden barrel to you, and you can get a gold coin, I waited outside the tribute courtyard in the snow, but I only got three gold coins, why do the Japanese make money so easily, but I want to eat and drink the snow, and the big officials don't feel sorry for me?" ”

Zhao Xing's smile was still very kind, but the more he smiled kindly, the more Li Ying felt that the weather was cold.

Zhao Xing smiled and asked: "This is still the same problem - I bought a Japanese bucket and spent my money, why are you dissatisfied with the way I spend money." Well, if you could carry a barrel, I'll pay you an extra gold coin......

You always feel unfair, why? Originally, your sumo wrestling ring was defeated by the Liao. It was I who got your silver back, and you owe me! You stopped the ring and followed me to help, and it has only been a few days, and you have received at least five gold coins before and after. Fifty times! Nothing more, no less!

On that day, you were in the ring, relying on your wife and children to play naked, how much money could you earn per month? Five-run? Ten runs? That's 50 times, how much have you earned in the past few days? How many days do you earn 50 yuan, are you still too little? I am loose in hand, and I give great rewards to others, but how can your rewards be light? How much do you plan to earn to satisfy you by following me to help? Within a month, do you earn thousands of furniture? Am I only rewarding you with thousands of furniture, can I be considered right? - Why? ”

Li Ying also wanted to argue. Zhao Xing didn't bother to listen to his explanation, he made a throat-cutting gesture towards Cheng Xun, and Cheng Xun dragged his hand. Slit each other's throats......

Li Ying fell into the last convulsion, Zhao Xing leaned over to look at him, and added pityingly: "Just now, did you want to talk to me about Bu Qing's secret, hoping that I would let you go...... You are wrong, everyone must bear the consequences of their actions, and whatever information you give me, I will punish you for your betrayal.

Of course. When I strike, I also need to be prepared to suffer the consequences - in order to do less damage to me, I will not allow the enemy a chance to correct his mistakes. Because I can't defend against enemies who are constantly fixing mistakes, gaining experience, and growing every day - I still have a lot of work to do. I can't afford that time, so I just like it......"

Cheng Xun wiped the knife and shouted excitedly: "I have long seen that this kid is not dealing with it, and I always want to go to the dog." Interfere with the dog's sense of smell...... Teacher. When did you notice something was wrong with him? ”

"Remember: the devil is in the details," Zhao Xingbian instructed the Xiao brothers to put away their crossbows. Bian patiently explained: "When he saw me today, he didn't mention Chen Gongchuan's matter at all, but Su Yu said that Chen Gongzi's matter was inquired about by him. Such a big matter is a credit, why didn't he dare to tell me in person, but asked others to tell it?

When he arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, why did he move so fast? Moreover, when we met, he didn't talk about Chen Gongzi, but even called me Brother Zhao...... Hmph, although I used him as a helper, I never allowed him to call me a brother to his face—what happened to make him feel like he could be my equal?

This guy must be thinking: After Chen Gongzi is kidnapped, I will need a helper to negotiate with the other party, and he will not let him go. He saved my wife and brother, so naturally he will be my equal—of course, he will also make a lot of money from it, and then he will be rich and powerful...... Hmph, be a man, don't get carried away. ”

"I see", Cheng Xun didn't understand it, but Cheng Xia and the others already understood, and they suddenly shouted: "It turns out that there are so many loopholes, and it turns out that if you deduce carefully, this flaw is everywhere...... Yes! It turns out that as long as you observe carefully, the truth is in it! ”

Zhao Xing interrupted them and sighed: "Hurry up and clean up the yard, to make it seem like nothing has happened here."

By the time Zhang Bantou led people back to the courtyard, Zhao Xing had already packed everything that should be packed. When Zhang Ban led the Kaifeng Mansion criminal officer Wang Shuban into the scene, he saw that in the dilapidated courtyard, two doctors were busy diagnosing Chen Gongchuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. In order to keep Chen Gongchuan warm, countless braziers have been placed in the house. Chen Gongchuan also stuffed many warm water bags in his quilt.

In addition to the dilapidated house, there were several corpses scattered in the courtyard, and Zhao Xing and the others were clean and clean in the field, standing leisurely in the center of the courtyard, looking at the situation in the hut.

There was an extra corpse of Li Ying underground, Zhang Bantou was stunned at first, and before he could ask, Zhao Xing had already explained to Wang Shuban: "Lord Wang, thank you Zhang Bantou for fighting the thieves bravely, you see, thieves all over the ground, the battle is fierce...... This was the case at the time......

Fortunately, thanks to the courage of Zhang Bantou, they were killed one by one. It's a pity that in the next friend, Li Ying, the sky-fighting eagle of the sumo wrestling field of Xiangguo Temple, was unfortunately killed in a fight with thieves. ”

At that time, in addition to Zhao Xing's personnel, there was only Zhang Bantou at the scene. Now Zhao Xing opened his mouth to explain the struggle, and gave all the credit for this arrest to Zhang Bantou and his local officials, while Zhao Xing and the others became a role of standing by. Zhang Bantou understood that Zhao Xing was planning to obscure Li Ying's death and turn him into a martyr for thieves.

What's so hard about that? Li Ying, a pounder, counts him as a victim of the robbery, well, there is no "Good Citizen Award" in this era, and he is "mourning behind him", at most, he will be verbally praised by Kaifeng Mansion Yin, what is it?

Zhang Bantou was ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly calculate. I can't eat this credit alone, and there are four notorious bandits on the field, and if you want to say that you can take it alone, the pigs don't believe it. Therefore, the credit should be given to the brothers. How many parts should this credit be divided into, and how much does each share sell?

The group of officials behind Zhang Bantou also understood Zhao Xing's words, and their eyes lit up, and they looked at Zhang Bantou with anticipation and grievance.

"I need a few clothes", Zhao Xing's topic changed abruptly, leaving more space for Zhang Bantou, he turned to say: "Bu Qing didn't find it, I need someone to point out Bu Qing's room and take away a few of his clothes!" ”

Zhang Bantou looked down at the puppy, realized Zhao Xing's intentions, and immediately replied, "No problem...... I heard that the wife and brother of the senior official were robbed of their belongings, and when the brothers confiscated the belongings, the senior official could inspect them at will. If it is the belongings of the wife and brother of a high-ranking official, just take it away......"

Zhang Bantou told Zhao Xing: eat meat by yourself and never let Zhao Xing drink soup. His words resonated, and behind him, the officials nodded desperately, lest they fall behind them.

Wang Shuban is obviously an old official, when Zhao Xing spoke, his eyes kept sweeping around, and finally leaned over Li Ying's side and observed the scar on Li Ying's neck - it was a "cut mark" instead of a "cut mark", this was not an injury caused by a fight, but like a ......

ps: In the Song Dynasty, the beggar gang has become a climate. The Song and Yuan Dynasty scripts "Jin Yu Slave Stick Beats Bo Qinglang" describes the beggar group leader Jin Boss in Hangzhou City, and the pole in his hand is the mark of the leader, and the person who rules the whole city is called Huazi. The pole of this beggar's head was used until the Qing Dynasty.

The leader of the beggar gang in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty was not Bu Qing, he should be Bu Qing's ancestor, but ...... I am at the limit of yy, and it is assumed in the book that Bu Qing has now taken over the throne.
