Chapter 5
Sima Xin, Changkong, and Changhai entered the courtyard, and Geng Qiu came out of the house with the help of Huitong and saw that the brothers were still sound, so they were relieved and regained their calm. Huitong asked, "Who is the person who is tied?" ”
Changhai carried Liu Quan all the way, his shoulders still felt a little sore, this bald bandit still had some weight, and he was not sorry for this horizontal meat. Changhai hung Liu Quan on the ground like an unloader, and Liu Quan sat on the ground without any pain at all, with a relieved and relaxed expression, thinking in his heart: It can be regarded as landing.
"This is the bandit white tiger!" Changhai moved his shoulders.
"What? Stinky bandits! Huitong lost her usual ladylike appearance, walked up to Liu Quan, and came up with a kick, which happened to be on her chest, fortunately, the woman's strength was small, but she just kicked Liu Quan down, if it was a young and strong young man......
It is said that Huitong is not Sima Qing's daughter, but her niece. Huitong's surname is Ye, and her mother is Geng Qiu's own sister, Geng Chun, whose father was once a junior officer in Wu Peifu's army and was killed in the Second Zhifeng War. Geng Chun took 11-year-old Huitong to Sima Qing's house, and when Huitong was 13 years old, Geng Chun died of illness, and Sima Qing's family became Huitong's only relatives in this world. Geng Qiu and Sima Qing took pity on this little niece, so they raised her as their own daughter, and over time, Huitong also regarded her uncle and aunt as her father, and since then she has become the eldest daughter of Sima Qing's family. Now Huitong is a 23-year-old girl who teaches at an elementary school in the town.
"Mother, you see how capable the second brother is! Such fierce bandits have been caught! Hui Tong put his arm around Geng Qiu.
"Alas, you are trying to make my mother worry about death! Your father's life and death in the bandits' den are uncertain, if you two have any more longs and two shorts, how will Huitong and I live! Geng Qiu said as he spoke, and he couldn't hold back his tears again.
"Mother, don't worry! I'll be able to get my dad out soon! Changkong comforted his mother, and then turned to Sima Xin and said, "Second uncle, if Director Zhao comes in a while, you can entertain me first, and I have something to do with Changhai and Changyun!" ”
"Changkong, although I don't understand your plan, second uncle, but I believe in you, okay, you can do your business, and leave the rest to the second uncle to deal with!" Sima Xin saw that his nephew was so reliable, so he made up his mind to follow Changkong's plan!
Changkong took Changhai and Changyun to take Liu Quan to the firewood room.
"I'm going to ask you a few questions, and you won't suffer if you answer honestly!" Changkong stood in front of Liu Quanquan and pulled out the steps that were blocked in Liu Quan's mouth. The long sea and long clouds are arranged around the sky.
"Little rabbit cub, dare to yin you Liu Ye! Believe it or not, when my brothers arrive, I'll kill you chickens and dogs! Liu Quan's words seemed to be held back for a long time, and his eyes were wide open, with a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
Changhai didn't say a word, and slapped Liu Quan hard in the mouth. Liu's whole body staggered, but fortunately, he still stood firm, and put on a mighty and unyielding posture: "Don't be delusional about getting anything out of me in the end!" ”
Changhai slapped again, and it was still in the position just now, but the sound of this shot was clearer and sharper, and Liu Quan directly had a nosebleed.
"How's that, have you figured it out? If it's still so hard, I'll beat you soft before questioning. Changkong patted Liu Quan's shoulder, and he felt that this bandit, known as the "White Tiger", was just a paper tiger.
Changhai rolled up his sleeves, his small fist clenched so that the crisp sound of bones sounded, and just as he was about to punch over, Liu Quan knelt on the ground and shouted with a crying voice: "Three heroes...... Three heroes! Ah, no, three masters, stop fighting! I'll say what you ask! ”
"That figured it out?" Changkong pretended to be suspicious, "What if what you say is false?" ”
"No, no, uncle, you are very capable, I have been tied up like this, where do you dare to lie, just ask uncle not to kill me, and don't beat me again, I will tell you everything I know!" Liu Quan immediately accompanied the smiling face.
"Well, as long as you explain it clearly, not only will we beat you, but we will also give you good wine and meat!" Changkong asked Changyun to take a pen and paper and write down everything Liu Quan said.
As soon as Liu Quan heard that as long as he told the truth, not only did he not have to be beaten, but he could also eat meat and drink wine, he was happy, why didn't he cooperate!
On the other side, Director Zhao had already entered Sima's house, he did not wear a police uniform, but changed into a blue gown, not like a police chief, but like a squire, at this time he was drinking tea with Sima Xin in the main hall, Geng Qiu and Chang Xiuzhen were not present, and it was inconvenient for women to show up on this occasion.
"How much has Sima Changkong learned outside in the past two years? This time it was impressive. I remember that two years ago, he was just a young master who only knew how to spend time and drink, and today he looks like a big man when he sees it! It's really three days, when you are impressed! Director Zhao took a sip of tea and tasted the strong aroma of Pu'er, he loved to drink it, because although Pu'er is bitter in the mouth, it has an endless aftertaste.
"I was also taken aback, thinking about it, my eldest brother was really right to let him go out with Master Qi to learn art." Sima Qing didn't drink tea, he only cared about pouring tea for Director Zhao.
"I, Zhao, am not the kind of ungrateful villain, and I will never forget Brother Sima's kindness for the rest of my life. I just haven't been able to find a perfect solution so I haven't taken action, otherwise the bandits won't be able to catch it, and I'll hurt Brother Sima again! Director Zhao seemed to talk to Sima Xin about his hardships, and Sima Xin said yes again and again.
"As long as Changkong's plan is feasible, I am willing to help him!" Director Zhao said so, but what he thought in his heart was that as long as Changkong's plan was feasible and these bandits were caught, he would be able to ask for merit and promotion, and he even daydreamed of becoming the chief of the Zaoyuan County Police Department.
The three brothers entered the main hall, and Director Zhao's daydream was only half done.
"Director Zhao, this is the information we just obtained from interrogating Liu Quan." Changkong took the "confession" from Changyun's hand and handed it to Director Zhao, and said: "This records the number of bandits, passwords, arming and other information, as well as the specific situation of the bandit leader. Now I'm going to introduce it, just follow the steps, and end this gang of bandits tonight. ”
Director Zhao carefully read this information, and listened to Changkong's plan, a smile appeared on his face, thinking that Changkong's kid is not simple, he caught Liu Quan at noon, and obtained so many detailed information in the afternoon, and the action plan is so interesting, it seems that the position of the police chief is not far from me!
Changkong handed a letter to Director Zhao. "Without further ado, I'll go and prepare, and I'll send you the manpower you want right away!" Director Zhao said goodbye to Sima Xin and the three brothers, and walked back to the police station, he really wanted to help.
The bandit leader Zhou Zhentian watched that it was getting late, but Liu Quan hadn't come back yet, and he was a little anxious and wanted to go to Doukou Town to have a look. I just ordered a dozen small bandits, and I saw that the sentry came to report that the people who followed Liu Quan to the town had returned.
The two bandits who followed Liu Quan staggered and knelt in front of Zhou Zhentian, their faces were blue and purple, and the tears of soybeans rolled from their faces to the ground, and reported the situation to their boss: "The boss, Liu Ye has been arrested!" ”
"What? Who is so bold as to dare to touch my people? Zhou Zhentian was taken aback, thinking that Liu Quan's five big and three rough skills, his skills are also good, he has strength and a gun, how could he be caught by Sima Changkong?
"It's a yellow-haired boy named Sima Changkong!" The two bandits told Sima Changkong about capturing Liu Quan and knocking him unconscious.
Zhou Zhentian asked Sima Changkong what was the origin, and the two bandits said that it seemed that it should be the son of the old man Sima, and pointed to Sima Qing, who was sitting in a corner of the room squinting and drinking water.
may be wondering how Sima Qing appeared here, and he was still drinking water, according to common sense, the kidnapped person should have been tied hand and foot, blindfolded, pouted, and thrown into a disgraced room. This has to talk about Zhou Zhentian.
Zhou Zhentian was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he had studied martial arts, and his skills were quite good, especially he loved to use knives, in his own words, "it is fun to cut!" This person has no culture, but he knows benevolence, righteousness and morality, saying that he is a bandit, but he is not a real bandit, most of the bandits under him are refugees who fled from outside the border, and only a small part are local ruffians and hooligans. Zhou Zhentian's motto is "kidnapping, not killing". Old Man Sima was not embarrassed by these gangs because of this, but he ate too poorly, only a bowl of rice soup and half a nest head for each meal, and he couldn't eat enough but couldn't starve to death, and occasionally got an apple and pear from the bandits.
"Your son? Your son was beaten down by me in a few tricks that day, and he dares to come today? Zhou Zhentian likes to slay his chin the most, and his beard is shaved clean, but this spirit is not shaved clean today.
"The one you defeated that day was my second son, and Sima Changkong, who came today, is my eldest son." Sima Qing stroked his sheep's horn beard, with a calm expression, paused and continued: "My son is back from his studies!" ”
"Learning?" Zhou Zhentian is a martial arts idiot, he loves to fight with his family, and he has not yet encountered an opponent in ten villages and eight stores in this neighborhood. As soon as I heard Sima Qing say "learn art", my heart itched, "What kind of art did Ling Lang learn?" ”
Sima Qing laughed twice, and put his hands into his sleeves: "Of course, it's a martial art to kill the enemy and win!" ”
Zhou Zhentian not only had an itchy heart, but also an itchy hand, and he couldn't wait to compare himself with Sima Changkong immediately.
"No, weren't you two arrested too? How did you get back? Zhou Zhentian almost ignored this very important issue.
The two bandits were still kneeling below, and one of them seemed to remember something. "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, this is the letter they asked us to bring to the master!"
Zhou Zhentian opened the letter and saw that it read, "Liu Quan is in my hands, if this thief is fine, I must return my father, and hand over the person in the grove in the east of the town early tomorrow morning, and the two sides can only bring two entourage." If you lose your trust, you will bear the consequences. ”
"Black Night Fork" Nie Yuan took the letter from Zhou Zhentian's hand, read it twice, rolled his eyes, and ordered the two kneeling bandits to be pulled out and cut down left and right.
Zhou Zhentian asked his subordinates not to do anything, and asked Nie Yuan: "The two of them just came back to report the news, they are both their own brothers, why do they kill them at will?" ”
Nie Yuan explained to Zhou Zhentian: "If these two people are arrested together with Liu Quan, it will inevitably leak a lot of information about us, if Sima Changkong brings people to attack ......"
The two bandits kowtowed to Zhou Zhentian, repeatedly explaining that they had not leaked half a sentence, and they were released to deliver the letter not long after they were arrested.
"Brother Nie Yuan, forget it, it doesn't look like what they said is fake. This Sima Changkong is really bold, I dare to break ground on my head, what should I do now! Zhou Zhentian had no plans, and he was still very polite to Nie Yuan, who had some brains.
"Don't worry, we won't go tomorrow! As long as he doesn't let his father go, he must not dare to hurt Liu Quan. "Nie Yuan has read books and served as a soldier under a warlord, so he still has some ideas, but his most prohibitive ability is flying knives. Nie Yuan was born in an acrobatic family, and he has practiced a flying knife since he was a child, and the people of the time praised his flying knife as "killing with a knife in the shadowless, and sealing the throat with blood in the silent place", carrying seven flying knives similar to the kunai, so there is a nickname, called "Seven Knives". "Yaksha" is a transliteration of Sanskrit, describing a man who is agile and fast, which is Nie Yuan's characteristic, and the addition of the word "black" is purely because Nie Yuan's face is dark, which is the same color as Bao Qingtian's face.
"Then how can you do it, you can't help but talk about morality, Liu Quan is our brother, how can you not save it? I must go tomorrow, Brother Nie Yuan will think of a way! ”
"In charge, then tonight I will take ten people to the grove to ambush, and when he hands over tomorrow, I will kill him suddenly, and let him come and go." Nie Yuan made a "kill" gesture with his right hand.
"Okay, that's it! Brother Nie Yuan, bring twenty brothers to prevent him from changing. "Zhou Zhentian is so stable here because of Nie Yuan, a dog-headed military advisor, with his own brain, he doesn't know how many times he will be beaten away.
