Chapter 34: The Round-up

Brother Lang and Cui Niang, who were in Yiqing Garden, didn't expect that it was just a trivial matter to seek revenge, and in the end it would alarm so many people. However, if someone has accepted it on their behalf, they will naturally not refuse, and without saying a word, they dressed up the two people brought by the Stone Sect as their own appearance, while the two of them changed their faces leisurely and swaggered at the front desk. The two were originally worried that after the identity of their cult disciples was exposed, Feng Wuxian would treat them as outcasts, but now they found that in the eyes of the imperial court, as long as they can be used, they are virtuous, and those people in the rivers and lakes, although they are pretentious and chivalrous, are unable to move an inch in the capital. It's hard to find a noble person to rely on, but it still seems to be a person with ulterior motives, and it's really funny to think about.

The two of them, who were hiding in the attic drinking, smiled at each other and raised their glasses at the same time. It has been nearly 30 years since they were hunted down and fled in their early twenties. No matter how good Cui Niang's maintenance skills are, it is difficult to stop her from getting old, and now, it is time to see those guys unlucky. They have a lot of eyes and ears in the capital, and although it is not possible to find out the details of the mysterious person who negotiated with those people for the time being, the emperor's attitude shows everything. No matter how pretentious these so-called decent people are, they are just pawns in the eyes of the powerful, and they are pawns who need to face the emperor's anger.

Just as they had arranged, two impostors deliberately appeared in a private house at the southwest foot of the capital, and the gang who got the news immediately chased after them. At the same time, the General Arrest Department of the Criminal Department also sent people to block off the streets. Naturally, the Criminal Department will interfere in this matter, naturally because Zhang Shuming won the approval of Emperor Zhu and dispelled the doubts in his heart. He was instigated by his mother-in-law before, but he actually made that fold in a daze, and then he regretted it very much in his heart. Unexpectedly, the emperor not only did not blame, but approved of his approach, which made him feel relieved. After all, Uncle Zhang has been a local official for a long time, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the capital, and Du Shi told him about the pros and cons of gains and losses for a long time, and he was fooled.

Shi Zong had already personally led people to spy in secret, and when he saw that the Criminal Department had really made a move, his brows suddenly furrowed. With his understanding of Zhang Shuming, he would never believe that the other party would be so unwise, and he must know that even princes and dignitaries who befriended martial artists would be criticized, not to mention Zhang Shuming, a small new squire. Before promoting this person, Shi Zong received the emperor's will to investigate all his experiences and character, and the emperor only issued an order after he found no suspicions, and now that there was such a mistake, how could he not suspect it? While thinking about the inside story, Shi Zong ordered his subordinates to prepare to respond.

The leader of the criminal department was Chen Quan, a henchman promoted by Zhang Shuming after he was appointed as Zuo Shilang, and he was also stunned after discovering the many martial artists gathered outside, and immediately ordered an errand officer around him to inquire, and the results he got surprised him. What his boss Zhang Shuming told him was only two murderous felons who had been lurking in the capital for a long time, but what those martial artists were talking about was the remnants of the Demon Spirit Mountain back then. Although he was young, he still heard the older generation talk about some things in the rivers and lakes, and naturally knew about the bloody massacre back then. Just thinking about it for a moment, his face changed greatly, this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good, if he is on a business trip, not to mention his official position, even Zhang Shuming will have to eat and hang together.

Chen Quan is also a smart person, and he waved his hand to summon an errand officer and ordered him to return to the Criminal Department to report to the Ministry of Justice, but he made up his mind to watch from the wall first. He walked up a few steps and said to the leading Feng Zhuang with a little reserve: "I, Chen Quan, the chief arrest director of the Criminal Department, would like to express my gratitude to all the heroes for their impatience and righteousness. Since you are knights of the rivers and lakes, and you have been running around for a long time to eradicate these two people, then this time you will have to work. He bowed slightly, then took a few steps back, smiling as he motioned for them to do so.

A few words choked the faces of the old men who wanted to make a profit, however, they all knew very well that although the head of the criminal department in front of them was humble, he was still a person in the court, and they couldn't afford to provoke it. Therefore, after glancing at each other, a man with a loud voice stepped forward and shouted: "The remnants of the Demon Spirit Mountain, now this place has been heavily surrounded, if you two put down your weapons, you can still live, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!" ”

A pillar of incense passed, but there was no movement inside. These warriors had already surrounded the place after they had identified the people in the house, and the criminal department quickly surrounded the entire block. Besides, they had already inquired that this was the place that the two had recently bought, so they didn't have to worry about the other party escaping through the tunnel. Seeing that no one answered at this time, the leading Feng Zhuang owner was immediately furious, and ordered the others to attack inside. Since it was the capital, they didn't dare to use the rockets and fire meteors that besieged the Demon Spirit Mountain back then, so they could only use the crowd tactics step by step.

However, the two people who rushed in first were all thrown out, and their noses and faces were swollen and fell to the ground, which made everyone lose face. However, Chen Quan, who was standing on the side, couldn't laugh, the characters in it were so prickly, if someone ran away and there was some mess in the capital, he would have to walk around without eating. Therefore, as soon as he gave the order, he quickly surrounded the encirclement a little tighter, lest someone break through.

The owner of the Feng Zhuang roared angrily, and rushed in with the other two old men. They were all people who had participated in the battle of Demon Spirit Mountain back then, and their skills and experience were extraordinary, and this time, the people outside suddenly heard a muffled snort inside, obviously it was Feng Zhuang and others who had the upper hand. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a loud bang, and the roof of the house was rushed open, and two figures appeared in front of everyone's eyes quickly, followed by a long and piercing roar.

Just when the people below were shocked, the three owners of Feng Zhuang also rushed out of the house, and attacked the two of them together, and the five figures were immediately entangled together. At this time, the people below faintly saw the figures of the two people clearly, and saw that a man and a woman cooperated very well, and they were able to withstand the offensive of the other three. However, since there are still a lot of people waiting below, if this continues, they will definitely lose. However, just when everyone was expecting the culprit to be beheaded, several figures suddenly appeared in the house on one side, hula-la-la, swept towards the five people in the melee.

The decent people below saw that the situation was not good, and they all jumped on the roof to block it, but they were shocked to find that everyone who came was masked with black scarves, and their martial arts were extremely high. The leader inserted into the battle circle of the five people, snorted coldly, and then took his sword to attack the three of Feng Zhuang, and when the other party was overwhelmed, he immediately threw down a smoke bomb. A soft pop was heard, and an extremely thick cloud of smoke filled the air, and there were bursts of screams from the scene, apparently someone was injured by a sneak attack.

This series of accidents came extremely quickly, and even Chen Quan didn't have time to react, so he could only watch the other party escape through the smoke. He was really confused in his heart, he had already checked a few houses on the side, they were all the residences of ordinary people, how could those tricky characters come out? He pondered here, and the smoke was gradually dissipating, and when it was clear in front of him, everyone found that the injured were everywhere, but the two men and the mysterious person who arrived later could not even see half of them. The old men led by them were also all wearing colors, and their faces were all blue and iron. No one expected that such a well-planned arrangement would be easily broken by the other party, and reinforcements were also attracted. If those two had the help of outsiders, it would be even more difficult to eradicate them.

Shi Zong didn't care what the other party was thinking, if he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, those two people who had been ordered to pretend would have been unable to support it a long time ago. Although the two of them are also rare good players, it is impossible for them to escape surrounded by so many people. He had vaguely heard the words of the head catcher in the Criminal Department before, and his suspicion became a little heavier. After a few people returned to the lair through a secret passage, Shi Zong ordered someone to bandage their wounds, and hurried towards the palace himself.

After listening to Shi Zong's report, Feng Wuji's face was also extremely ugly. A group of people in the rivers and lakes actually chased and killed their opponents to the capital, which really did not put the imperial court in their eyes, not only that, but even the criminal department also helped the other party to try it, and the inside story was complicated. He silently listened to Shi Zong say everything, and without even saying a word, he motioned for him to retreat, and walked towards the pile of music on the desk alone.

Zhang Shuming was not a fool, after hearing Chen Quan's explanation of what happened, he felt that it was serious, and immediately asked people to prepare a sedan chair and rush towards the Tang Mansion. He didn't bother to pay attention to the greetings of those subordinates, but actually broke into Du's residence directly, and said with a slap on his face: "Mother-in-law, I killed you this time!" ”

Du Shi was unaware of Zhang Shuming's sudden intrusion, and was stunned for a moment before ordering the others to withdraw, and then said with a straight face: "Zhang Shuming, although you are my son-in-law, you shouldn't trespass here!" If I hadn't thought about you everywhere, would you have risen so fast? actually said that I hurt you, but you said, where did I provoke you? ”

Zhang Shuming also woke up to his recklessness, but the anger in his heart did not go out at all. After taking a deep breath, he told everything about today's events, and then sat down in the chair next to him, obviously waiting for Du's explanation.

Du Shi's face only changed slightly and returned to normal, "How can I understand the actions of these people in the rivers and lakes?" Shu Ming, your criminal department is in charge of the world's criminal affairs, and two extremely vicious people hiding in the capital will cause you any trouble, do you know? Now there are people who also want to eradicate them, and the criminal department only needs to deal with the aftermath in the back, such a cheap thing, you still claim that I am harming you? If those two people stir up any murder in the capital, you won't be able to arrest someone! ”

Although Du's remarks sounded like they were all for the sake of his son-in-law at first glance, Zhang Shuming was still keenly aware of something wrong. He had already learned that his mother-in-law was not an ordinary noblewoman, so he was even more wary of such a sudden move. However, at this time, it is not the best strategy to dig deeper, thinking of this, he got up and apologized, and then said a few words that were not salty or indifferent, and left in a hurry, leaving Du Shi alone standing in the room in a daze.
