Chapter 40: Upper Black Tiger Ridge

Everyone was shocked by Du Jia first, and then excited, and immediately ignited, they were either the Zhuang guests on Chai Jiazhuang or the people who received Chai Jin's favor, Chai Jin lost face, and their faces were naturally gloomy.

The sect leader immediately found out and said: "What Jia Shao said is that although my Zhang has low skills, I still have a loyal heart, this time I will ask my son to speak, who dares not to get along with him from my first one, brothers, do you say yes?" ”

Everyone shouted in unison, yes, the voice resounded in the sky, and suddenly everyone felt that their blood was boiling, and even their courage was a little bigger.

Du Jia nodded with satisfaction, and then asked everyone to rest a little on the side first, and only called the two sect leaders and a few elders over.

Du Jia asked softly, "Who are the strongmen near the place where the accident happened, do you know how many of them know?" ”

Lin Chong shook his head and said: "Jia Shao, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange, so many deliveries have been fine, why was it robbed this time?" I'm worried that there is likely to be someone colluding with thieves internally, should we start with the person who delivered the goods? ”

Lin Chong is worthy of being a professional soldier and an officer who has seen the world again, and this analysis is also reasonable and modest, but Du Jia smiled slightly and said: "Lin Jiaotou's words are reasonable, but this time the delivery team has suffered a lot of casualties, and it also involves several Zhuangzi, this is not something that can be done in a short period of time if you want to thoroughly investigate the traitor, and it is likely that the traitor has been wiped out by the thief, and we don't have much time to waste, otherwise it will be difficult to find when the thief runs away or hides completely."

And this kind of thing is often not clear to the people in the official face, but they can't hide it from the brothers in the underworld, that gang of thieves doing this is equivalent to crossing the line and stepping on the territory, even if they are not the strongmen nearby, they must know something, so we are right to target them. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, Lin Chong was even more secretly convinced, that Zhang Jiaotou was originally a strong man, and then the cottage was broken before he was left here, and later received Chai Jin's great grace and some martial arts to be a sect leader here with peace of mind, so he said immediately

"Jia Shao, there are two groups of strongmen near the low-key accident, one is Heihuling, the call of the head is faceless, this person is the best at sumo wrestling, when he was down, he also stayed in the Chai Daguanren Mansion for several months, but he has a bad temperament, especially after drinking, he likes to hurt people, and later he really offended too many people in the village, so he had to leave Zhuangzi, I didn't expect to fall into the grass in Heihuling soon after, but he was still very grateful to the Chai Daguan, and he never violated it.

In addition, there is Niujiao Mountain more than ten miles opposite the Black Tiger Ridge, there are two leaders on the mountain, they are brothers, the elder brother is called Luo Yun, and the younger brother is called Luo Hai.

The strength of these two places is almost the same, and there are more than 100 minions, but the officers and soldiers will also support each other when they come, and the officials can't help them. ”

After Zhang Jiaotou's introduction and the addition of Chai Fu and others, Du Jia and they already knew a lot about the situation there, and then Du Jia immediately ordered the team to gather, and selected fifty people who were strong and skilled in martial arts from more than 100 people, each of whom had a meal of steamed buns and meat, and promised that after the successful conclusion of this matter, each person could share 20 yuan of money, and there were additional rewards for outstanding contributors, and the morale of the team was even higher, and those who were not selected were envious.

The team immediately started, Shi Jin and Zhang Jiaotou led the way in front, Lin Chong and Wang Jiaotou pressed the formation in the back, Du Jia himself commanded in the center, and went in the direction of Heihuling, dozens of miles of kung fu arrived in half a day, only to see that this is a strange mountain, hundreds of meters high, full of abrupt black rocks, it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, I saw that the gate at the mountain pass was closed, and there were three or five small minions standing on the high arrow tower behind, chatting while eating and drinking food, and occasionally I could hear one or two obscene laughter, which showed that it was not a serious matter.

Du Jia smiled secretly in his heart, this kind of military discipline can be seen the combat power of this Black Tiger Ridge, this may be okay to deal with those local officers and soldiers who are afraid of death, and it is a joke to deal with themselves, at this time, those minions have also seen their team, and a small leader wearing a red turban immediately shouted: "The dogs and men and women over there are all standing, where are you from, are the ears ornamental?" I don't know how powerful we are in Black Tiger Ridge here, leave as soon as possible, and still save a dog's life. ”

Zhang Jiaotouce immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Listen to the people in Heihuling over there, we are not the official army, but the subordinates of the Chai Jin officials, I came here today to see your Jiaozhai master, please go and report it." ”

The leader saw that Zhang Jiaotou didn't seem to be fake, and carefully identified that they did not look like officials, soldiers, and horses, so his expression softened: "Okay, you wait here, I'll go inside to report to the two village owners." ”

Shi Jin asked a little strangely: "Zhang Jiaotou, didn't you say that there is only one village owner here who has no face, why does the leader say that there are two village owners?" ”

Seeing Zhang Jiaotou's embarrassment, Du Jia smiled slightly: "Zhang Jiaotou is not from Heihuling after all, it is inevitable that there will be some changes for so long, and it doesn't matter, as long as you can see that Jiao Ting, everyone will look at me and act when the time comes." ”

Everyone nodded yes, and after a while, the little leader came back again, and said loudly: "Our two village masters said that since they are people from Chai Daguan, please go to the Juyi Spoils Hall to talk about it, but after all, we are two people, so many of you can't all go in, only ten people are allowed to go." ”

Zhang Jiaotou was furious when he heard this: "What kind of person is our Chai Daguan, who doesn't know in the whole Cangzhou, who doesn't know, what kind of place do you Heihuling have, you dare to treat us so slowly, and don't let your Jiaozhai master come to pick it up in person?" Has he forgotten the kindness of the big officials back then? ”

The little leader's face suddenly showed embarrassment, obviously they also knew the relationship between Jiao Ting and Chai Jin back then, at this time Du Jia came out and said: "The so-called people are in human affection, after all, they haven't been in touch for a long time, and it is normal for the owner of Jiao Zhai to be worried. ”

After saying that, Du Jia asked Shi Jin, Lin Chong and Zhang Jiaotou and others to go with him, Wang Jiaotou and the rest of the people waited at the bottom of the mountain, the leader also knew that he was rude here, and after gratitatively hugging Du Jia, he politely led the way in front, and the group soon came to the hall of gathering righteousness and sharing spoils on the top of Heihuling Mountain.

I saw that this was a mess, there were scattered weapons and objects everywhere, and the soldiers were also standing casually, and there were two village masters sitting on the wolfskin war chair in the middle of the hall, the top was a yellow-faced man, who was nine feet tall and ugly, and the next was a black-faced man, who was about eight feet tall, with a yin owl on his face, and a turban wrapped around his head.
