In order to ensure that Xu Hongru could be retained, Sun Yueling also specially invited Qi Liao and Lu Xiangsheng over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
With them, plus Zhang Pengyong, Han Wanshui, Zhang Yinglong, and Wen Zhibing, who are quite good at kung fu, as well as so many disciples of the Caring Hall and the criminal department and the captain of Jinyi, Xu Hongru can't escape the layers of nets he has laid even if he has the ability to reach the sky.
In the early morning of this day, as soon as the sky was dark, Sun Yueling issued the task of raiding Xijiang rice shop.
All of a sudden, a series of dense and urgent footsteps sounded on the originally quiet and peaceful Gulou East Street, and countless people and horses suddenly gathered from all directions, surrounding the entire Xijiang rice shop with three layers inside and outside, and it was difficult to fly.
"Break open the door and search for me!" Sun Yueling shouted and ordered his men to break down the door.
With a "boom", the gate of the rice shop had already been broken open by the officers and soldiers who had prepared it.
This loud noise also woke up the sleeping shopkeeper and the guys in the backyard of the store, they didn't know what was going on, and in a hurry, they thought that there were refugees rushing to the store, and they were coming to grab food from the store.
After they saw the whole situation clearly, they all looked at these wolf-like officials with a look of surprise, and they didn't know what was going on.
Sun Yueling, Qi Liao, and Lu Xiangsheng had a proper division of labor, he guarded the front door, Qi Liao guarded the back door, and Lu Xiangsheng guarded the periphery.
Sun Yueling even flew to stand on top of the house in the courtyard, looking at this large mansion condescendingly, as long as there is a slight disturbance, I believe that he will not be able to escape his golden eyes.
The search continued, but after a long time, no one of his men reported finding anyone, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious. In order to be able to hold Xu Hongru, this time it can be said that all the people who can be used within his ability can be used, and there are hundreds of people from the Concern Hall alone, not to mention the people of the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei.
If you can't find Xu Hongru, it will be a grand farce, which will make people laugh at you, and even startle the snake, so that the entire Beijing division will know that he is arresting Xu Hongru, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to find him in the future.
"Did you catch anything?" Sun Yueling said to Zhang Pengyong, who came to his side.
Zhang Pengyong pursed his lips and shook his head at him.
Still didn't find anything, Sun Yueling was a little annoyed, could it be that Ding Mengyao was full of lies at all, just perfunctory to entertain herself?
"Search me carefully, don't let go of every corner, cellar, warehouse, and bed!" Zhang Yinglong was crossing his waist, standing in the courtyard and shouting loudly to the captains.
But even so, they didn't notice it at all. In the entire rice shop courtyard, except for a few shopkeepers, stewards and some guys on duty, there was no one else at all.
Han Qiaoshui approached Sun Yueling and said in a low voice: "Hall Master, I'm afraid we fell for Ding Mengyao, she is talking nonsense at all." ”
Sun Yueling felt a burst of anger in his chest, and said hatefully: "This stinky girl, you dare to lie to me!" At this moment, he didn't suspect that Ding Mengyao was lying to him, but he hated that he would actually believe her words and arrest Xu Hongru with such fanfare.
Thinking of this, he felt a tingling in his heart, he was really being played like a monkey now.
Sun Yueling suppressed the anger in his heart, walked to the several shopkeepers standing in the courtyard, and said to them with his fists in his fists: "A few shopkeepers, I'm really sorry to disturb you early in the morning." Bendu also received the news, so he brought people to search, and now the search is complete, and no bandits have been found. I'm sorry for the trouble, and please Haihan! After speaking, he bowed deeply to them.
Seeing that he was so polite, the anger that had been accumulated in the hearts of those shopkeepers also subsided a lot, and someone said to him: "Your Excellency is polite, assisting the officers and soldiers to take the thieves is what we and other small people should do." ”
Sun Yueling raised his hand and said, "Close!" He bowed his hand to the shopkeeper again, and said, "There is a lot of trouble, don't blame it." I will take full responsibility for the destruction of the gate of the rice shop and take my leave. ”
Just as he walked to the gate, suddenly someone behind him shouted, "What do you think is the place of Thirty-six Roads, come if you want, and leave when you want?" ”
Sun Yueling was surprised, stopped when he heard the sound, slowly turned his head, and looked at the person in front of him who was surrounded by many officials, who was not afraid of him at all and raised his voice.
Sun Yueling looked back, only to see a person lined up with everyone, strode in front of him, and sneered: "Xijiang rice shop is a legally operated shop, although you are an official errand, do not show the decree of the government and do not notify the owner of the house, just break into other people's houses and search, is there any royal law in this Ming court, and it is unreasonable?" ”
Sun Yueling saw that this person had a gloomy face, slender eyes, thin lips and a straight nose, and although he was wearing a set of dark gray robes, he still gave people a cold impression, and couldn't help but say: "What is the name of this shopkeeper?" ”
The man snorted lightly and did not answer, and an old shopkeeper beside him replied for him: "My lord, this is our big proprietor Li Yexun Master Li." ”
The corners of Sun Yueling's mouth pulled out a sneer, and as expected, this person was the incense master of the Thirty-six Northern Xiangtang, and he was also the big proprietor behind the Xijiang rice shop, Li Yexun, and said: "Li Yuanwai, the matter is urgent, in order to arrest the thief of the Xiangming Society, we are also forced to have no time to announce, since Li Yuanwai wants official documents, this is easy to do, I will let my subordinates send it to the house on a certain day." ”
The Criminal Department and Jinyi Wei have always been on a good job of shining the waist card of the headquarters, and under normal circumstances, they rarely issue formal legal documents, and what he said was already very face-seeking for Li Ye.
Li Yexun looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "What the adults said lightly, conniving at his subordinates to trespass into people's houses, how can you offset it with just a word?" Turning over the door and disturbing people's rest, do you think that making up a piece of paper afterwards can be calmed down? ”
Sun Yueling said lightly: "Then what do you want?" ”
Li Yexun's eyes seemed to show a trace of resentment, and it disappeared in a flash, and said: "I have heard that Lord Sun's martial arts are the best in Beijing, and he even killed Jin Wuwei's capital Pei Donglai Pei with his own hands, Li Mou is not talented, please give me advice, as long as you can win me, Li Mou should no longer pursue this matter." ”
Sun Yueling sneered and said: "Li Yuanwai has a big breath, I have an official life, I am on an errand for the imperial court, there are many people here, if I want to leave, do you think you can stop me?" ”
Li Yexun also sneered: "Yes, you have indeed brought a lot of official errands. However, don't forget, you are still the owner of the East Hall of the Caring Hall, if our brothers of the Thirty-six Dao are desperate for their lives, even if they can't force you to stay, I'm afraid, you won't be able to escape the involvement of instigating the fight between the Caring Hall and the Thirty-six Dao, right? ”
Sun Yueling's heart was shocked, if Li Yexun and the other 36 Dao gangs really fought with them desperately, even if they could win, I am afraid they would really form a bond with the 36 Dao, and it would make all the gangs in the Jingshi think that they wanted to exterminate the 36 Dao and unify the Jingshi.
Zhao Nanxing's "two-pronged" strategy, although the Citigroup Society in Dongcheng was suppressed, also caused panic among many Jianghu forces in Jingshi, thinking that the care hall could not accommodate other sect forces, and wanted to unify the Jianghu in Beijing.
Today's Caring Hall, according to Li Ruobing's deployment, needs to comfort and appease the other sects and factions in the Jingshi, if he and the Thirty-six Dao cause a conflict now, it will not only violate Li Ruobing's plan, but also let the other forces in the Jingshi see the horror of the Caring Hall, and unite in the future to fight against the Caring Hall.
Therefore, it is really not appropriate for Concern Hall to make a big move against other forces at the moment, presumably Li Yexun has also seen through this, so he has no fear and forces himself to duel with him, wanting to use this way to regain his lost face.
If he wins, he can let himself go generously; If he loses, he can directly fulfill the promise he made and let himself leave safely.
This man is really not simple.
Thinking of this, Sun Yueling smiled slightly and said, "Do you think that these brothers under your command will put their lives on the line and give your lives in vain?" ”
Li Yexun's fine eyes flickered, stared at Sun Yueling and said, "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try." As soon as his words fell, all the men and subordinates of the Thirty-six Dao behind him showed nervous and solemn expressions, and some of them even pulled out the blades that had been prepared for a long time, and it seemed that they were really ready to make a move.
Outnumbered and bullied the strong, this gang of rivers and lakes is really reckless.
Although Sun Yueling stood in the position of the imperial court and could not understand the thoughts of these people in the rivers and lakes, he was sure that as long as he turned around and left, these people would inevitably fight against the people he brought with him desperately. Does he really have to have a competition with Li Yexun so that he can leave with his subordinates safely?
At this time, the situation was tense and the battle was imminent.
At this moment, one of the thirty-six crowds on the opposite side suddenly pushed aside the crowd, strode up, and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and my own family beat my own family." ”
Sun Yueling saw that this person was none other than Wu Xiaode, who broke up with him outside the care hall that day, but after saying goodbye that day, he thought he would leave Jingshi, but he didn't expect him to be still here, and it seemed that he was still related to the Thirty-six Dao.
"Wu Xiaode?" Sun Yueling was surprised for a while, "Why are you here?" ”
Wu Xiaode lined up everyone, walked to the front, and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, I can't think of it." I have joined the Thirty-six Dao and am now the chief steward of Xijiang Rice Shop. ”
Wu Xiaode actually joined the Thirty-six Dao and became a steward, Sun Yueling suddenly felt that the world was impermanent. However, Wu Xiaode knew a lot of business when he was in Tianxiang Courtyard before, and after coming to Beijing Yixiang Courtyard, he saw a lot of the world, and he was naturally able to easily take on the position of the manager of a rice shop.
"Very good, you're a good mixer!" Sun Yueling casually praised that he was not in the mood to miss the turtle slave years with Wu Xiaode at the moment, and only thought about how to solve the current predicament and leave this place as soon as possible.
