Zhang Guolao and Tianqi each drove a carriage, continued to move forward, at dusk, came to Baiyun Town next to the Tongji Canal, at this moment the rain completely stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sky revealed a trace of golden crow.

Baiyun Town was originally Baiyunyi, which was the place where Emperor Wen of Sui rested, and later there were more residents and expanded into a town; The post house is like a small palace, and you can see orchid pavilions and pavilions, mountains, stones, flowers and trees everywhere. Tian Qi saw that Zhang Liang had already led people to live in the post house, left a mark on the wall outside the post house, the carriage did not stop, and continued to move forward to the Wanfu Inn in the center of the town; The inn guy came out, and the seven people booked five rooms, and Tian Qi and Zhang Guolao handed over the carriage to the guys, and followed behind Yang Chong with their luggage.

The boss watched the guests enter the store, walked out from behind the counter with a smile on his face, and diligently led the guests upstairs, arranged the rooms one by one, and finally arrived at the large room in the top, the furniture was elegant, elegant and clean. Seeing that there was no one left and right, the innkeeper knelt down to meet Yang Chong: "The hundred cavalry battalion is Zheng Yan Xiaoyuan to see King Yue." ”

Yang Chong motioned for Yan Xiaoyuan to get up and said, "You have worked hard all these years, I still remember the scene when you escorted me in Longmen, this time, you can restore your identity and go to Jiangnan with me." ”

Yan Xiaoyuan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Yang Chong; Tian Qi looked at an immortal pavilion-like building opposite and asked, "That's the Yihong Mansion in Baiyun Town?" ”

The sun is late, the light shines warmly on the opposite eaves wall, the jade arch bridge of the fairy hall, the red lanterns are hung in a row of twelve, and there are already people who use bamboo forks to hang on the hanging and light the candles in the lanterns; From time to time, there are warblers and Yanyan who come out to greet the guests, swaying and talking, there is a bewitching atmosphere, Tianqi shook his head, these guests also came a little too early. Seeing a few people dressed in strange clothes, Yang Chong's heart moved and said, "Inform Zhang Liang to bring people in to see if there is anything abnormal." ”

This kind of three-regardless zone opens a green building, and the reception is the lord who passes by the post house and the merchant ship boss in the Tongji Canal, how can there be no abnormality? Tianqi didn't understand whether Yang Chong wanted to check the origin of the Qinglou or the guests who entered the Qinglou, anyway, he didn't care in his heart, with the Baiqi Battalion, was there anything that could not be checked, so he immediately notified it.

The guys at Wanfu Inn and half of the guests staying at the hotel today are all officers and soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry Battalion, Yang Chong and the others are drinking wine and eating carp in the room, watching Zhang Liang take a dozen people into after dark; When the night comes, the red lantern illuminates the front door of Yihong Mansion as if it were day, and the sheng song and lang language come out from the door, which is really lively.

In less than half an hour, there was a sound of shouting and fighting in Yihong Building, and a fireworks dedicated to the 100 cavalry battalion rose into the sky, and the 200 cavalry ambushed outside the town rushed into the town in an instant, blocking the town to the point of impassing. The officials who had just run to the door of Yihong Mansion were startled, and when they heard that it was the Baiqi Battalion investigating the case, the officials secretly complained bitterly, and greeted all the ancestors of the owner of Yihong Mansion in their hearts, what are you doing with the Baiqi Battalion.

There was no suspense in the battle, and after the Hundred Cavalry Battalion rushed in, they captured the people who fought with Zhang Liang and them; Zhang Liang was surrounded by one in a hundred good hands, and there were no deaths, but three people were wounded, and he grabbed seven high-rollers with weapons and about twenty Qinglou guards who wielded knives and sticks. All the guests were confined to their respective rooms and were not allowed to move around, and Tianji, who came to the Hundred Cavalry Camp, received the order of Tianqi and followed in with great interest to see if there was a secret room or something.

The old bustard in Yihong Mansion cried so much that he probably knew that Zhang Liang's identity was afraid of people, so he didn't dare to come forward and tear it, but just lay on the ground and splashed; Not long after, a team of more than 20 people rushed to ride, led by a son-in-law brother, Yan Xiaoyuan knew Tian Xiong, the boss of the Luoyang Gang, the son of the Sui general Tian Yan who guarded the palace and was killed by Wang Shichong, after Yang Chong recovered Luoyang, Tian Xiong was regarded as a righteous son by Tian Yan's old boss Huangfu Wuyi.

The town lord of Baiyun Town is a team leader named Wei Ping, who has already arrived outside Yihong Building, and saw Tian Xiong hurriedly greeting him and said, "Tian Ye, this is the Hundred Cavalry Battalion handling the case." When they asked about the identity of the guest, one of the guests suddenly used a knife, and now it is found that the seven people are from the south. ”

Tian Xiong said grinningly: "Since you have arrested someone and you haven't left, you want to extort me a little money." ”

As soon as Tian Xiong's words fell, thirty horsemen surrounded him, and the generals led shouted: "All lay down their weapons and leave their horses, and wait for questioning." ”

Two of Tian Xiong's subordinates were just about to give it a try, but they were shot by crossbow arrows, Wei Ping's face changed greatly, knowing that Tian Xiong's words just now had angered the Hundred Cavalry Battalion; Tian Xiong looked around, gritted his teeth and asked his subordinates to dismount, the murderous aura on the hundred cavalry battalion made Tian Xiong frightened, so he had to make plans to settle accounts in the future.

Zhang Liang's interrogation of seven Shanyue people yielded results, they were invited to Chang'an by Miao Haichao, the general of the Jianghuai Army; Zhang Liang separated the seven people, and finally learned that Miao Haichao wanted them to kill one person, paid five hundred taels of gold as a deposit, and gave the other half after killing them. The people of Shanyue didn't know who they killed, they only knew that after arriving in Baiyun Town, they went to Yihong Mansion to find a person named Jia Ai, but after waiting for five or six days, Jia Ai still didn't show up.

One thousand taels of gold to kill a person, it will definitely not be a small person, Yang Chong sneered and said: "Find out this Jia Ai, even if these seven people are thrown chess pieces, there must be someone behind the watchman." I want to see what is sacred. ”

After searching until dawn, Tianji found a secret room that contained gold, silver, jewelry, and an account book, a record of the Luoyang Gang's collection of protection money, and Xu Jingzong easily found three records of forcibly seizing fertile land in the account book. Murong Zhili originally came to check what was going on, but when he learned that it was the Baiqi Battalion who handled the case, he read the evidence, and secretly complained that he was not stopping, lest he be regarded as an accomplice by Zhang Liang; When Su Dingfang's brigade arrived at noon, Murong Zhili hurried back to Luoyang to report the news.

Gao Chong and Wei Ping checked more than 30 guests, but they didn't find this person; Yan Xiaoyuan whispered his opinion, there is a girl named Zi Yan in Yihong Mansion who may have a problem, because Yan Xiaoyuan and his buddy both saw that the maid next to Miss Zi Yan knew martial arts. Tianqi immediately sent a message to Zhang Liang, but it was still a step too late, Zi Yan and her maid Yuchai suddenly rushed out with swords, but were stopped by the soldiers of the Hundred Cavalry Battalion, and the two women saw that they couldn't rush out, and both committed suicide.

Now even Tian Xiong is scared stupid, mixed in the rivers and lakes, if he doesn't even understand the meaning of the dead, then he is really looking for death; As soon as he entered the interrogation room, he heard about undercover, assassination, and Shanyue, Tian Xiong was completely abandoned, what Gao Chong asked, and what Tian Xiong answered. The bustard, the buddy, and the girl were all gone through and asked for a clue, Ziyan girl has a close relationship with a Caoyun boss, and Tian Xiong is not the leader of this gang in vain, saying that the boss is the Jiangnan swordsman Tu Qixiao, and after returning to seclusion, he partnered with Zhong Guan, a righteous son of Du Fuwei, to do the Caoyun business.
