Chapter 89: Closing the Net

As soon as the back door opened, I heard the sound of "whoosh", a wave of arrows rained over, and the two masked bandits standing at the door were shot into hedgehogs on the spot, and the other masked bandits were so frightened that they immediately closed the back door, and then a team of Tang Army archers appeared at the gate again, all bows and arrows were prepared for the inn gate, and the masked bandits were so frightened that they were looking for a place to hide.

Zhao Ziliang walked out of the drunken immortal building with Yun Dingtian, who was shackled with his hands and feet, walked behind the Tang Army archers, let go of his voice and shouted: "The bandits in the inn are listening, Zhao Ziliang, the new guard and guerrilla general of the city, has been surrounded by regiments, and it is impossible to escape. The life and death of the bandit leader, General Ben has no right to deal with it, and he does not dare to guarantee it, this needs to be decided by General Meng Lingjing, the envoy of Shule Town, but other little minions, you are not the mastermind, just an accomplice, most of you are not guilty to death, I hope you don't joke with your own lives, if you drop your weapons and surrender, this general can promise that you will give you the opportunity to atone for your crimes! Judging from the way you attacked just now, General Ben knows that you are all soldiers, and you have all been instigated by some ill-intentioned people for a while, what is the purpose of your coming to Anxi to join the army? Isn't it ironic that you are here to protect the safety of the Tang Frontier, but now you are doing the work of bandits? You're slapping yourself in the face, don't you feel ashamed? It's still too late to repent, General Ben will give you a moment to think about it, and if you haven't come out to surrender after a while, it means that you have given up the opportunity for General Ben to give you to repent, and General Ben can only treat you as bandits and kill them all! โ€

After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, the masked bandits on the first floor of the inn became agitated one by one, and the masked leader was shocked, and he secretly said in his heart: "This Zhao Zi is a good life, and the morale of my subordinates will be disintegrated in just a few words, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that I, the leader, will be isolated, and I will die alone!" โ€

Thinking of this, the masked leader immediately shouted: "Brothers, don't listen to the nonsense of the surname Zhao, how can they let you go?" He lied to you, and if you go out now, he will surely order you to be shot with a bow and arrow!" โ€

The masked leader's words still had some effect, and the masked bandits who were about to drop their weapons and surrender immediately did not move.

But someone said, "Can we stay here and live?" Not a dead end? Instead of waiting for death here, it is better to drop his weapon and go out to gamble, no matter how he is also the new guard and capture envoy, he is a guerrilla general, if he repents, who will believe him in the future? โ€

"That's right, if you continue to stay here, you will definitely die, and if you go out and surrender, you may be able to live!" Someone immediately chimed in, dropped his weapon and walked out.

As soon as the man moved, two men followed, and they also dropped their weapons and walked out.

The masked man was shocked when he saw this, if he continued like this, he would be isolated, and he immediately rushed over with a knife and stabbed three times in a row, cutting down the two masked men walking behind him to the ground, and when he was about to kill one person in front of him, the man felt that something was wrong, and a lazy donkey rolled and dodged the fatal knife.

The man was so frightened after dodging the mortal blow that he shouted in a hurry: "He just wants all of us to be buried with him, brothers, don't be bewitched by him, let's tie him up and hand him over to General Zhao, and we will definitely atone for our crimes!" โ€

"Yes, everyone tied him up together!" Someone immediately agreed, this is the opportunity to redeem the merits, where will anyone let go? The crowd rushed up and surrounded the masked leader.

The masked leader was furious, brandishing a large knife and slashing several masked people one after another, and the person who had just incited the other masked people to rebel against the leader was also hacked to death, but the masked leader was thrown to the ground by the masked men in a panic, and he couldn't move.

Soon, all the masked people left one after another and lined up to escort the masked leader out of the first floor of the inn, and stood in line in front of the inn.

Zhao Ziliang separated the Tang Army archers, walked out from behind and waved his hand: "Bring the bandit leader over!" โ€

Several powerful men stepped forward to take his leader from several masked men and tied him up sturdy and carried him aside.

Zhao Ziliang pointed to the leader of the masked men, "Uncover his mask!" โ€

In front of everyone's eyes, the masked leader's mask was slowly lifted, and everyone stared intently, wanting to see what the masked leader really was.

"Ahh

"It turned out to be Mahan!"

"It's really unseemly, Ma Han, who usually looks quite righteous, is actually the leader of the bandits!"

Ma Han, who was escorted by several Tang Army soldiers, was as pale as paper at this time, and his whole body was shaking like chaff, Zhao Ziliang walked over and said coldly: "Okay, okay, the deputy envoy of the dignified guard mansion turned out to be the leader of the bandits, leading a large group of people to rob the wind thief master Yun Dingtian!" Very well, Mahan, you're too daring! As the deputy envoy of the guard, this general has no right to dispose of you, he has someone who can dispose of you, come on, escort Ma Han to the garrison mansion, and send someone to Shule Town tomorrow to be dealt with by General Fumeng! โ€

"No!" A few servants promised to escort Ma Han away.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh", a sharp arrow shot from Ma Han's back, although Zhao Ziliang found a flash of the figure on the opposite side, and also saw the arrow that was shooting rapidly, but because Ma Han was in front of him, and it was three or four meters away from him, he immediately stepped forward and stepped over, but it was still too late, and he could only watch the arrow in Ma Han's vest.

"Buzz ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท" The arrow feathers pinned to Mahan's vest trembled and hummed, and Mahan's expression of fear froze instantly, forever.

With a "poof", Mahan fell to the ground and died.

"Someone has released a dark arrow!" A Tang sergeant shouted.

Someone found out where the archers were, and immediately pointed to the northwest and shouted: "There it is!" โ€

Zhao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Chu Ge, you take some people to chase!" โ€

"No!" Chu Ge, the head of the guard, agreed, waved his hand to the dozen servants around him and shouted, "Follow me!" โ€

Zhao Ziliang took a few steps forward and squatted down, stretched out his hand and pressed Ma Han's neck for a while, and after making sure that there was no carotid pulse, he stood up and snorted coldly: "What a good means!" Ma Han was secretly shot and killed at a critical moment, which is equivalent to being killed, which shows that there are still the Lord's messengers behind him! โ€

Wang Can came over and asked, "General, what now?" โ€

Zhao Ziliang said: "Take off the masking scarves of all the corpses, see who they are, don't take off the masking scarves of those who surrender, leave them a way to live!" Send someone to escort them to the barracks and lock them up for disposal! Escort Yun Dingtian away, lock him in the barracks, and send someone to guard it! โ€

"No!" Wang Can agreed and immediately arranged it.

Yun Dingtian and the masked men who surrendered were all escorted to the barracks, and Zhao Ziliang and some others stayed in place to dispose of the corpses all over the ground.

The face towels of all the corpses were taken off, these people were indeed dressed as soldiers, and they were all garrisons from the barracks, what puzzled Zhao Ziliang was, how did they come out of the barracks? You must know that he had already issued a new ban late last night, no one can leave the barracks at will, and if you want to go out, it must be on official business, and you must have the consent of the officer.

At this time, Wang Can came over and reported in a low voice: "General, there is a corpse in the inn that is the captain of the first battalion, Yuwen Changhao, according to the confession of the soldiers we deployed on the second floor and the wounds on his body, he should have been killed by Ma Han, I guess he wanted to surrender with others, but Ma Han didn't allow it, so he killed him!" โ€

Zhao Ziliang was silent for a while when he heard this, and then asked, "How many people have died in total?" โ€

Wang Can said: "After counting, thirty-eight of the people brought by Ma Han died, twenty-five surrendered, and four of your servants died and five were injured!" โ€

For the secrecy of this operation, Zhao Ziliang did not use the garrison, but used all his own subordinates, and more than 100 subordinates were all transferred to make this operation so perfect.

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Carry all the corpses back to the barracks, and send someone to Ma Han's mansion to raid his home, if you find outsiders in his house, they will all be arrested!" โ€

"No!" Wang Can agreed, and while arranging for the body to be transported by hand, he rushed to Ma Han's house with some servants.
