Chapter Thirty-Eight: Halfway Attack
At Chen's house, Chen Chang, dressed in a black shirt, walked into Chen Huatao's bedroom. "Master, just now I received a message from Mo Weibao sent a fast horse, saying that Song Wenjian took Wu Guanhai and Zheng Sike to his house to make trouble, and he will come to the yamen to sue him early tomorrow morning, he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the anger of the county commander."
When Mo Weibao entered the house, he immediately ordered his subordinates to ride fast horses from the back door to the county to report to Chen Huatao.
Riding a horse was more than twice as fast as a horse-drawn carriage, and Mo Weibao had a township chief token that allowed him to enter the city in the middle of the night in the form of urgent business.
"It seems that Wu Guanhai's bastard has taken refuge in Song Hua." Chen Huatao shouted angrily.
For this former subordinate of himself, Chen Huatao was both angry and afraid.
Wu Guanhai was arrogant, did not know the general situation, and resisted his instructions with moral reasoning everywhere, so that he could not carry out many things.
Wu Guanhai has been on an errand in the barracks for many years and is very capable, but because there is no one to protect him, Chen Huatao can drive him down.
But now that he is mixed with Song Hua, things are not good. How could a person like Wu Guanhai fall in love with Song Hua, who was about to fall? Chen Huatao couldn't figure it out.
"You tell the messenger that Mo Weibao doesn't have to worry, and I'll deal with it." Chen Huatao's eyes flashed with edge. "In addition, you pass a book to the big black flying pigeon, and let them stop Wu Guanhai and others on the road, so that these people can't see the sun tomorrow."
"Master, we'll have trouble looking for these people in the future." Chen Chang said worriedly.
These thugs have a lot of murder cases in their hands, and if Chen Huatao asks them to help, Chen Huatao will also help them in the future.
Chen Huatao shook his head and said: "I don't care about it so much, Zhichong has already found these people last time." If Song Hua is allowed to sue Mo Weibao tomorrow, things will be very troublesome. Song Hua has always cared about his precious silly son, if Song Wenjian dies tonight, will he still be in the mood to sue tomorrow? And those lieutenants, seeing our killing and making an example, aren't they afraid and dare to sue? Let Dahei bring more people, and things will be done neatly. ”
"Master, I understand, I'll do it now." Chen Chang bowed and withdrew.
In the carriage, Zheng Sike was so tired that he leaned on the carriage and fell asleep.
Wu Guanhai also seemed a little tired, and threw the waist knife aside, wanting to lie down and rest.
"Guanhai, aren't you afraid that someone will attack us on the road?" Song Wenjian asked.
Wu Guanhai heard Song Wenjian ask, supported his body and sat up. "Young Master Song, don't worry, I'm an official, they haven't been rampant enough to kill officials, you must know that killing officials is a matter of losing your head."
"Alas, ordinary people may not dare, but some people will take risks and do anything." Song Wenjian said in a low voice. "Last time I was on my way back, I was attacked by thugs."
"Aren't they robbing money? This is the car of the Yamen, and the ordinary villains are afraid to avoid it when they see it, how dare they approach. Wu Guanhai smiled confidently.
Last time Song Wenjian was attacked on the official road, he also knew a thing or two. Now the world is not good, and walking at night will generally encounter gangsters who rob money.
But they are different, this is an official car, he is still an official errand, whoever provokes will die.
"Guanhai, you are wrong, last time someone wanted to kill me, and at that time he named me on the road to kill me, do you say there is such a robbery?" Song Wenjian's face showed anger.
He suspected that Chen Zhichong had ordered someone to do it, but he had no evidence and had to give up.
"Ah, they want to kill you?" Wu Guanhai was surprised. If it's murder, it's not ordinary. "Why don't you make it clear to the prefectural adults?"
Song Wenjian shook his head and said, "Is it useful to say it?" It will only startle the snake, and this time we will go back to the city, and it may not be safe on the road. ”
"I'll go outside and watch." Wu Guanhai didn't feel sleepy, picked up his waist knife and climbed out of the car.
When Wu Guanhai saw that Lao Zhuang was also listless, he said angrily: "Lao Zhuang, you catch up with the horse." ”
"Lord Guanhai, don't worry, this is an official road to walk, and the horse club will walk by itself." Although Lao Zhuang said this, he still cheered up and looked ahead.
But the dim light of the horse lantern is not bright, and Lao Zhuang's visible sight is not far.
Song Wenjian didn't sleep either, and pulled up the front curtain of the car to talk to Wu Guanhai, so that they wouldn't doze off.
"Young Master Song, this Mo Weibao is bold enough to dare to deceive Lord Song." Wu Guanhai said angrily.
"Well, there must be other reasons for this, otherwise Mo Weibao wouldn't have defected halfway." Song Wenjian is also thinking about this matter, he can't afford to be early, a person like Mo Weibao knows how to measure the situation.
He also gave Mo Weibao an ultimatum just now, but Mo Weibao still had no hesitation and would not change his mind.
What Chen Huatao used to make Mo Weibao defect, Song Wenjian couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, Wu Guanhai shouted: "Stop, there is danger ahead." ”
Lao Zhuang didn't react, only to see Wu Guanhai lean forward, grab the horse rope and pull it back.
"Sss The galloping horse was stopped, screaming and raising its hooves, and finally half-knelt on the spot.
The carriage lost its balance, and the sleeping Zheng Sike rushed forward. "What's wrong? What's going on? Zheng Sike's head hit the carriage and lifted a big bag.
Lao Zhuang looked at the tripping rope in front of him and looked shocked.
If Wu Guanhai hadn't found out earlier, the running horses would have tripped up, and they would have fallen. I don't know if I die or not, at least they will fall and be seriously injured.
"We are the official car of the Yamen of Suixi County, who dares to stop it?" Lao Zhuang shouted angrily.
Wu Guanhai jumped out of the carriage, clenched his waist knife and said, "Lao Zhuang, it's useless, they are stopping us." ”
Wu Guanhai saw that there was a big log on the official road a few feet ahead, even if their horses avoided the tripping rope, they couldn't avoid the big log.
It's so dangerous, if it weren't for Young Master Song's reminder, they might have fallen seriously and lost their lives. Wu Guanhai said secretly in his heart.
"Copy the guy." Song Wenjian shouted as he picked up the water and fire sticks placed next to the car.
Zheng Sike secretly admired Song Wenjian's clever calculation, if he hadn't brought some more water and fire sticks to wear, they might have been attacked by gangsters.
There are four of them, Wu Guanhai knows martial arts, and he should be able to beat the gangsters away.
Zheng Sike jumped out of the car with a water and fire stick, and couldn't help but gasp when he saw a dozen masked people with knives standing on both sides of the official road.
It's a one-on-three, how do you fight? Among the four of them, Wu Guanhai can fight, like the young master and they can't fight at all.
Wu Guanhai saw so many people appearing, his face changed miserably, tonight's matter is troublesome, and if he doesn't do it well, he will put his life here.
"Up." A masked man in front of him let out a low shout, and the others rushed towards him with knives in stride.
Song Wenjian looked at a man limping away, he was shocked, and deliberately pointed at the man and shouted: "I recognize them, that person also attacked me on the road last time." ”
"It's not good, the third master, he recognizes me." The masked man who walked on his feet shouted in surprise to the man who had just spoken.
