The hijacked tiger head boat was moored in a water swing about a mile from the Yongji Canal, overgrown with weeds on both sides, surrounded by large forests, and the nearest family was a hundred steps away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yanqing hid in a big tree, the lush branches and leaves obscured his figure, through the gaps in the branches and leaves, Li Yanqing's eyes watched the movement of the ship without blinking.

At this moment, the hatch of the ship opened, and out of it came a large shirtless man, holding a sharp knife to untie his wrists, and in the other hand carrying a fat sheep that had just been skinned, squatting in the bow of the ship and began to wash and peel it.

After a while, two more men came out of the cabin, one of them was holding two jars of wine, and the other was setting up a barbecue rack, they were busy chatting while the voice reached Li Yanqing's ears clearly.

"This ticket harvest is not bad, they are all good furs, worth at least three thousand taels of silver, presumably Yang Yaren has already found a good merchant for us, tomorrow we will go to the famous city to sell the goods, go to the capital to live happily for a few days!"

"Big brother, do you want to give him the part of Steward Zhang?"

"What do you do with him, Lao Tzu killed people for him, it's not bad to ask him for money, and you still want to get a piece of our pie? Believe it or not, I cut off his fat and roasted it to eat! ”

Li Yanqing slowly squeezed the hilt of the sword in his hand, his initial intuition was not wrong, this was not a simple murder and robbery, but someone deliberately murdered the patriarch, but.... Who is this Steward Zhang?

The Bai brothers had already packed up the fat sheep, grilled the mutton on the brazier, and picked up a big bowl to drink, but Li Yanqing didn't dare to leave, he was patiently waiting for the time to come.

Lei Zhutou said that the three Bai brothers were nicknamed Jiaolong Sanxiong, and their kung fu was very good both in water and on land, and hundreds of officials had surrounded them twice, but they broke through and left, but many people died.

Li Yanqing knew his martial arts, if he fought alone, he might be able to use his fast advantage to kill the other party by surprise, but the other party is now three bandits, he is definitely not an opponent, so he has to wait for them to get drunk and see if there is a chance to make a move.

The three Bai brothers drank until late at night, and then they went back to sleep in the cabin drunk, Li Yanqing took off his coat, went naked, put the short sword behind him, and put three more stones on his waist, and then dived into the water silently and swam towards the big boat.

There was a cable behind the boat, Li Yanqing climbed onto the big boat with the help of the cable, crawled for a while, did not hear any movement, and climbed along the side of the ship to the front little by little, he could see clearly before, one of the three people was drunk on the bow deck, and the other two went back to sleep.

At this moment, the hatch creaked open, and a big man full of alcohol walked out, Li Yanqing was startled, and immediately shrank into the darkness outside the cabin.

"Big brother, go back to sleep! Beware of freezing at night. ”

The big man sleeping on the deck muttered a few words, only turned over, but did not move, and the person who got up at night didn't bother to call him, so he staggered towards Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing lay his whole body on the deck, and his heart was pounding nervously.

Fortunately, the big man didn't see Li Yanqing, he walked to the side of the boat, turned his back to Li Yanqing, and unbuttoned his pants. Wow! Peeing into the river, the opportunity has come, but Li Yanqing is a little hesitant, although he has witnessed Uncle Hu kill people, but he has not killed anyone with his own hands after all, he doesn't know how to start?

Li Yanqing hesitated slightly, but the big man felt something, and when he turned around, he happened to see Li Yanqing hiding in the dark, his eyes widened.

At this moment, Li Yanqing no longer had any hesitation, and suddenly stepped forward and stabbed out with a sword, this sword was incomparably fast, the big man couldn't dodge, the short sword stabbed into his crotch and stabbed into his body fiercely, the big man let out a heart-rending scream, his body was crooked, and he fell heavily into the river.

Li Yanqing simply went out and pounced on another Bai brother sleeping on the deck, the person sleeping on the deck was Bai Ming, the eldest of the Bai brothers, he was awakened by the screams of the third brother, but his body had not recovered from the predicament for a while, he sat up with difficulty, groped around for the wrist knife beside him, and saw that he was about to touch the wrist knife on the deck, Li Yanqing had already pounced, flew him down on the deck, and rode on him.

Although Bai Ming's body had not yet regained his agility, his arm had recovered, he held Li Yanqing's arm with one hand, preventing him from raising his sword to stab him, but with the other hand, he pinched Li Yanqing's neck, trying his best to crush Li Yanqing's throat.

Li Yanqing only felt a sharp pain in his throat, his eyes turned black for a while, and at the moment when he was about to faint, the short sword in his hand finally pierced the opponent's chest, piercing the opponent's heart, Bai Ming screamed wildly, and was killed on the spot.

Li Yanqing broke free from his hand and choked his throat, and after a while, he resumed his breathing, and the blackness in front of him gradually disappeared, Li Yanqing was horrified in his heart, and his throat was almost crushed by the other party.

At this point, 'Bang! With a bang, the cabin door was knocked open, and the second Bai Liang stumbled out, carrying a Pu knife in his hand, and scolded vaguely: "Dog mongrel, grandpa sent you to the west sky!" ”

He roared loudly and swung his knife at Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing caught a glimpse of the wrist knife on the deck, just five feet in front of him, Li Yanqing rolled forward, the knife was already in his hand, and then he waved his hand.

I saw a flash of cold light, 'Click! The sound of the skull cracking sounded, and a wrist-dissolving knife was inserted into Bai Liang's forehead, the tip of the knife penetrated through the back of his head, Bai Liang took two steps back, and fell straight on the deck, the person was dead, but his eyes were as wide as copper bells.

After a while, Li Yanqing fished up the body of Lao San Baiguang from the water, he was stabbed and broke the aorta in his body, and died of excessive blood loss.

In less than half a minute, Li Yanqing killed three people in a row, his heart was already numb, there was neither the pleasure of killing nor the fear of killing, only a fear that seemed to have turned around from hell, each of these three people could kill him, if they weren't drunk, the corpse lying on the deck now would be him Li Yanqing.

It was still dark all around, only the sound of the wind blowing through the reeds, Li Yanqing finally calmed down, he pondered for a long time, and finally decided that this matter could not be reported to the official, Xiangzhou may commend him, but the Daimyo Mansion may not, the official is just asking for trouble.

He searched in the cabin and found more than 100 taels of gold and more than a dozen pieces of precious jewelry, and also found a tooth tag on the table, which was engraved with the name of Yang Qu, the tooth man, who sold the stolen goods to the three Bai brothers, and he might be able to find out the identity of this Zhang Steward.

Li Yan put his belongings and tooth cards on his back in a small bag, and lit the boat before leaving the ship.

Li Yanqing stood on the shore, looking at the burning boat and the surrounding reeds that were ignited, the smoke and flames spread to dozens of feet, magnificent, Li Yanqing slowly knelt down and prayed in a low voice: "The clan grandson Yanqing has killed the bandits and avenged the patriarch, but Yanqing will never let go of the real murderer, may the patriarch rest in peace in the spirit of heaven!" ”

He kowtowed three times, got up, and strode away.

Two days later, dozens of daimyo officials quickly and thoroughly searched the burned boat, there were three charred corpses on board, judging from the various relics found at the scene, the three people who were burned to death were the three heroes of the Bai clan, who they had captured for many years.

For a time, the catchers were overjoyed, and Luo Yu took this credit on his head, they rounded up the bandit Bai Sanxiong, and finally set fire to the three of them, and the catchers were vigorously commended by the Daimyo Mansion and the Hebei East Road Mention Prison Division, and the reward was 500 yuan, and Luo Yu remembered a great merit for catching the head.

.........

Hulu Lane, the famous city, is the concentration of tooth people from all walks of life in the Daimyo Mansion, hundreds of tooth people from all walks of life gather here, match buyers and sellers, handle various intermediary business, the tooth people industry in the Song Dynasty is extremely developed, and they play a pivotal role in the prosperous business of the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Yanqing inquired all the way and found Yang Qu, a fur-toothed man in a small building in Hulu Lane, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was thin and thin, with a scorched face and a handful of rat whiskers on his chin.

He was obviously very unhappy with Li Yanqing's rash visit, his little eyes were rolling around, and he said coldly: "The little official has found the wrong person!" I don't know anything about Steward Zhang, and I have nothing to do with the bandit Bai Sanxiong, please go! ”

Li Yanqing threw the tooth card on the table, "This is your tooth card!" ”

Yang Qu glanced at the tooth card and said disdainfully: "I don't know how many people my tooth card has been given to me, what is the point of the little official taking a tooth card to set me?" Do you think I'm going to admit to selling stolen goods for the bandits? ”

Li Yanqing was furious, grabbed him by the collar, pressed the short sword against his throat, and said viciously: "I might as well tell you the truth, the three Bai brothers have been killed by me, if you know each other, tell me the truth, who is Steward Zhang?" I don't know anything, otherwise, you can accompany the three brothers of the Bai family on the road together! ”

Yang Qu trembled with fright, and said tremblingly: "Little official, we have something to say." ”

"Tell me!"

Li Yanqing loosened his collar and pushed him heavily into the chair, "Who is Steward Zhang?" ”

Yang Qu had to tell the truth under Li Yanqing's threat of death, "Two days ago, a steward surnamed Zhang did come to me, saying that there was a batch of fine furs for me to find a buyer, if the buyer found it, let me go to Li Ji Restaurant to find him, I guess he should be the manager of Li Ji Restaurant, but I really don't know that this is the stolen goods of the Bai brothers." ”

Li Yanqing had a 'buzz! Isn't Li Ji Restaurant a restaurant opened by the Li family in the Daimyo's Mansion? Could it be that the patriarch was really ....... by Li Wengui

Anger burned in Li Yanqing's heart, he immediately found the Li Ji Restaurant located at the south gate of the city, Li Yanqing stood across the street and observed for a while, only to see a guy come out of the restaurant and enter the alley next to him, Li Yanqing immediately followed, and caught up with the guy in just a moment.

Li Yanqing pressed his sword against the guy's throat, the guy trembled with fright, he thought he had encountered a robbery scoundrel, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm just a little guy, I don't have much money?" ”

"I don't want money, I only ask you two words, you can tell me the truth!"

When the man heard that he was just asking, he was a little relieved, and then said, "You want to ...... What to ask? ”

"Where are you Steward Zhang?"

The guy was suddenly startled, why was he looking for Steward Zhang again, he shook his head again and again: "Steward Zhang has been missing for several days, I heard that the master is also looking for him in a hurry, I really don't know where he is now?" ”

"Good! Let me ask you one last question, does this Steward Zhang have any other name? ”

He ..... He was originally called Liu Chenghong, and later changed his name to Zhang Yuan. ”
