Chapter 71
Although Biguan County is just a small frontier town, it is also the same as other states and counties, and there are a lot of ruffians and gangsters in it. And Yang Chen was able to quickly set the target of his suspicion on this Hu Sui, and naturally he had his reasons.
That is, this person has a very different experience than normal. Because according to common sense, the days of a gangster like Hu Sui settling down are quite embarrassing, and he is always hungry and full on weekdays, and it is difficult to get money in his hands. Even if he really walked shit one day and picked up the money, it would not be enough to pay off the bad debts before.
But just a few months ago, when Yang Chen concluded that Hu Sui was the one who had been blackmailed because of a dispute, and that the money bag full of copper coins really belonged to him, the situation seemed a little strange. How could he have carried such a large amount of money with him that everyone who saw it would have bad intentions.
It's just that because of the suddenness of the incident, Yang Chen was in a hurry to bring the blackmailer back to the county office, so he didn't think about it deeply. But this time, when Yang Chen found out that it was likely that some greedy and bold gangsters in the city had settled down to secretly take in the Mengren Xizuo, this detail was once again remembered by him, so he decisively aimed his suspicion at Hu Sui, and immediately sent someone over.
And as it turned out, his inference was clearly accurate! Just as he kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in, he saw several figures flashing away from the door of the Hu family's main house, which made him dare not slack off in the slightest, and immediately rushed in, while the iron ruler was still horizontal in front of him, careful guard.
The moment he stepped on the threshold that was not very high, a loud shout sounded from his side, and a cold light whistled towards him. Fortunately, Yang Chen had already been on guard, and the iron ruler in his hand suddenly raised, firmly resting on the slashed knife, and then his footsteps rushed in again, his shoulders sank, and he had already taken advantage of the situation to rush to the other party, and his shoulder hit the other party's chest directly.
The man obviously didn't expect the person to be so powerful, when he was attacked by a sneak attack, he could not only hold it firmly but also quickly counterattack, he couldn't dodge it at all, and he snorted and took a step back.
Once he gains power, Yang Chen will naturally not have any reservations, and immediately twists his right wrist suddenly, and his mouth also cooperates with a low shout: "Get out!" The power of this time is really not small, and he used a bit of skill, and sure enough, he wrenched the steel knife in the opponent's hand and flew out, and then his body approached again, and with his left hand, he wanted to hold the opponent's pulse and take it down.
But at this moment, this person also followed a loud roar, not only did his body not dodge or retreat, but took a step forward, and at the same time, he spread his arms and pounced straight towards Yang Chen.
It was only at this time that Yang Chen's mind moved, and he thought of a key question - the other party was Mengren, and these Mengren had always been the most proficient in hand-to-hand wrestling, and he was obviously attacking the enemy in close combat.
But at this time, the two were already entangled together, and it was obvious that Lu Zhen could not allow any more changes, so he had to fight with his arms and collide with him hard. Fortunately, the iron ruler in his hand was still there, and at the moment when he was hit by the other party, the iron ruler had already been clicked out, hitting the opponent's dantian, so that the Mengren who was about to invade again and control Yang Chen screamed in pain, and hurriedly retreated.
This time, Yang Chen would not miss the opportunity again, and immediately stepped forward again, and the iron ruler in his hand made a quick move, tapping the top...... All kinds of moves rained down on this man's body, beating the strong Mongolian man to scream, and after a moment he collapsed, unable to get up again.
Although this battle ended extremely quickly, it was extremely exhausting, Rao was a good player like Yang Chen, and at this time, his breathing was also a little disordered, and his face was flushed. But he knew that he couldn't rest, there should be three Mongolian spies here, and now he had just defeated one.
Thinking of this, he stepped forward again, waved the iron ruler and made up for the back of the neck of the Mengren who was already lying on the ground, and after knocking the person unconscious, he rushed towards the inside, but did not find any suspicious traces.
At the same time, there was a shout outside: "Good thief, where to go!" Then there was a fierce fight.
When Yang Chen heard this, he didn't linger any longer, he immediately turned around, quickly rushed out of the main house, and came to the small courtyard again, where he saw the dozen or so servants fighting around a small Mongolian man. Obviously, this person's skills are much weaker, so even if he is facing the dozen or so ordinary county officials, he can't get out, so he can only roar and rely on his bull strength to entangle with people, and fall to the ground with a pop, but his own family was also slashed in the back with a knife, and he almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Yang Chen didn't know how to do it, and immediately jumped up with an arrow, saw the emptiness of the opponent's back, and smashed the opponent's back with an iron ruler with a single move, causing the Nameng people to immediately fall to the ground.
However, he is also rough and thick-skinned, and even if he is hit hard, he can still struggle to get up. But the servants wouldn't let him roll over again, and suddenly several people rushed up, pressed down with all their might, and pressed him to the ground.
After another struggle, he finally kicked his legs and stopped because of his physical exhaustion. But his bull's eyes were still staring at the person in front of him, his eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, obviously he was quite dissatisfied with these guys' fighting style of fighting more and less, and sneaking attacks from behind.
But neither Yang Chen nor the other servants cared about his mind at all. This is a battle between the two countries, as long as it can be won, no matter what means he uses, whether he bullies more or less.
After taking this person down, Yang Chen's gaze quickly swept over the other two rooms in the courtyard. But it was empty, and there was no one in it, which made his brows furrow suddenly, and he immediately looked at Hu Sui, who had long been shrunk aside: "Let me ask you, what about the other Tartar?" ”
Originally, Hu Sui was quite afraid of the people in the county government, but now he was caught on the spot for colluding and hiding the spies of the Mengren, and he was even more panicked and at a loss. At this time, hearing Yang Chen's questioning, he subconsciously knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Fourth...... The fourth master, the little one knows that he is wrong. The little ones are only greedy for a moment, and the lard is blinded by the heart, so they will agree to let these people stay here. The villain will never dare to do it again in the future, the fourth master will leave me a way to live......" These few knocks on the head are quite real, and when I look up again, I have seen blood on my forehead.
But Yang Chen didn't care about his pleading performance at all, he just grabbed him in two steps, grabbed Hu Sui in one hand, glared at him and shouted, "Let me ask you, where did the last Mongolian man go?" ”
"The most ...... The last ......" Hu Sui was yelled at by him, his body trembled again, and his crotch was even hotter, and he lost his incontinence directly. After a while, Fang came back to his senses a little and quickly replied, "He...... He went out on an errand yesterday and ...... Haven't been back......"
"Huh?" Yang Chen's brows tightened, and then he slowly exhaled again, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he threw Hu Sui back to the ground, his face was no longer as nervous as before.
He was really worried just now that the last Mongolian spy had escaped earlier, so it would be difficult to get rid of this hidden danger. But after the other party's answer, he suddenly remembered that there happened to be a Mongolian spy outside yesterday who incited the people to flee from Bianguan County? I guess that guy is the last spy hiding here. Just because the other party refused to recruit anything, and he was busy looking for the spy hiding in the city, he actually forgot about this person.
Looking at it now, almost all of the internal Ying that the Mongolian people planted in the partial head pass have been taken down, and the biggest hidden danger has finally been eliminated. I can finally give an explanation to the military and civilians of the county, as well as the imperial court.
After a little calm, Yang Chen gave an order to the subordinates who were still stunned: "Another spy is in that room, you go and drag him out and take him back to the county government for disposal." Let's go back. ”
"My lord, what about the third person?" Someone hasn't turned the corner yet.
"That guy was taken down and locked in his cell yesterday." Yang Chen exhaled and said, "What I have to do now is to go back and interrogate these guys and see what valuable things can be plucked out of their mouths." Also, bring this guy with you. As he spoke, he clicked on Hu Sui, who had already collapsed to the ground, and his sin was naturally quite small.
Everyone hurriedly received the order, moved quickly, tied up several Mongolian people and Hu Suidu, pushed and shoved them and walked out.
At this time, many neighbors outside had the courage to look at this side, until they found out that it was the county government that sent out to take people, and after taking a few Mongolian people, they all cheered loudly: "Lord Yang is good, with you, we will definitely be safe and sound......
Yang Chen's expression was also solemn, and when he heard these remarks, he also specially stopped, hugged his fists at everyone and said: "The fathers and elders of this county are right, I have never been invaded by the enemy for many years, even though there are indeed a lot of Tartars who came this time, but I believe that with the courageous resistance and perseverance of my Ming soldiers, this Great Wall pass can still be impregnable and protect the peace of the people of my county." And the government also needs your cooperation, as long as you can stay in your own homes with peace of mind, and don't be deceived by such ill-intentioned spies, the final victory will definitely belong to us! ”
These words became more and more convincing after taking the enemy, and sure enough, they won a burst of echo and praise from many people around them.
And at this moment, suddenly there was a thunderclap on the side of the city wall, this movement came too suddenly, so that everyone changed color, many people subconsciously looked in the direction of the city wall, but they didn't know what happened there......
