Yang Ke listened, and instructed Hei Qi: "Old Seven, separate them and ask, where did this shopkeeper come from, and why did he do it to the gourd." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Hei Qi agreed, he looked around, the first floor was full of rooms, unobstructed, there was no way to separate the interrogation, and then commanded the soldiers to work together, divided these people into several waves, and took them all to the second floor of the restaurant, locked them in various private rooms, and began to interrogate.

Yang Ke looked at Zhou: "We have made such a big move, and the time is not short, why hasn't anyone in the local yamen shown up to now?" ”

Zhou also felt strange, frowned and said: "It's also a big town here, why do the people in this restaurant dare to take people's lives on the street, and commit murder in the city, but not a single official can't see it, it's really a bit of a lawless posture." I went to find someone to inquire about who the magistrate was. With that, Zhou got up and walked out of the restaurant and went to the market.

Yang Ke sat in the middle and waited quietly for half an hour before he hurriedly walked in: "Master Hou, the people all over the street saw that I was like avoiding the plague, and they refused to say a word to me. Later, I found a white shop, and as soon as I heard that it was a person who had just died on the street, he didn't even accept the money, so he cut me off directly. ”

"The owner of this restaurant is not simple, it should be a strong party here, and the people on the street are afraid of getting into trouble." Yang Ke pondered.

Before his words fell, the stuffy gourd and Hei Qi had already walked downstairs, and Hei Qi snorted angrily as he walked: "These rabbit cubs are so arrogant and domineering, they really can't ask if they don't move." ”

"Where did this owner come from?" Zhou asked hurriedly.

"This place is called Qu County, under the rule of Donghai County, the county yamen is only two miles away from here, just in the north of the market, the shopkeeper's surname is Chang, ranking third, no one knows his real name, blind in one eye, his subordinates call him Chang Sanye, holding the business of Donghai County, this restaurant is just his small industry, just a dime. This restaurant turned out to be the property of the Liu brothers and sisters, and it was also a person in the rivers and lakes, or a big businessman in Donghai County, this Chang San didn't know what the road was, and he actually bought and killed the brother of the Liu family, forcing his sister to flee so far, life and death are unknown, and the Liu family's industry was taken over by Chang San. Chang San's subordinates are quite numerous, there are thousands of people in the thug guard alone, many of them are fugitives who have committed serious crimes of murder, and no one dares to mess with them in the trade roads and green forests of Donghai County. "Hei Qizhu poured beans into a bamboo tube, and reported the results of the interrogation.

"Lord Zhou, I think this Chang San is not simple, without the protection of the government, how can he be allowed to behave so recklessly, and it has become the climate, and this is under the rule of Donghai County, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea." Yang Ke said to Zhou.

Zhou nodded his head: "Master Hou, this Donghai County is rich in crystals, and more than eighty percent of the crystal treasures in the world come from here, relying on this one, it is rumored in the court that the King of the East China Sea is rich and rivals the country, but the vassal king will naturally not show up on his own to start the business of the merchant Jia, if this Chang San is the leading businessman in the East China Sea County, it is not good to rely on the relationship of the King of the East China Sea, and it is even possible that he is the disciple of the King of the East China Sea." ”

"That makes sense, otherwise how could this Chang San be so fearless in Donghai County." Before Yang Ke's words fell, suddenly the leader of the pro-army rushed down the stairs: "Master Hou, a horse team of more than 100 people has come from the east of the town, all with blades, and it seems that they are coming at us." ”

"Is it a soldier? How far is there?" Yang Ke said succinctly.

"No, it's all civilian clothes, less than two miles away."

"Send one man to the official office to move troops, and the others will take bows and crossbows to guard the gates and windows." Yang Ke made a decision immediately, gave up the plan to rush out, and attacked several times his opponent on the flat ground, although his subordinates were all elite soldiers, not afraid at all, but there was no room for hand-to-hand combat, and it would hurt more people's lives, and using a bow and crossbow to defend with a bow and crossbow was the way to minimize casualties.

The leader of the pro-army immediately conveyed the order, and one person climbed out of the restaurant through the back window, leaving only two people upstairs who were tightly tied with ropes and the shopkeepers and others who were not tied up, and at the same time assumed the responsibility of guarding and defending the window. The rest of the people started to pile up the counter and other things at the door, holding bows and crossbows, and looked at the doors and windows on the first floor, these personal soldiers are all veterans who have experienced life and death on the battlefield, and they are well-trained elites, although the movements are fast, but they are not busy, but they are ready to stop in a moment, and they are ready to wait. Although I heard that there were more than 100 people on the other side, all of them were not afraid.

The sound of the horse team came from far and near, but in a moment it was close to the front, all of them were strong men, murderous, after rolling the saddle and dismounting, they did not say a word, and began to rush towards the restaurant with their blades.

Hei Qi, Stuffy Gourd and the others turned their heads to look at Yang Ke, Yang Ke groaned slightly, and then ordered: "Release the arrow." ”

Before his words fell, the sound of bows and crossbows rang out, and everyone had no arrows, and in a moment, the seven or eight men who were running in front fell to the ground one after another, and the rest of the people stopped and began to retreat beyond the range, and those who were shot to the ground had no one to help, and those who were not dead rolled and wailed on the ground. These bows and crossbows are equipped by Yang Ke for the pro-army, which can fire five arrows in a row, both in terms of material and craftsmanship, they are excellent and powerful, and they cannot be equipped in ordinary armies, but they are overkill to deal with a group of You Yong.

Yang Ke said to Hei Qi: "Old Seven, you go upstairs and shout, let them send someone in charge, and we will negotiate." Hei Qi nodded, he knew in his heart that Yang Ke didn't want to hurt anyone's lives anymore, and he didn't want to expose his whereabouts, so he wanted to solve the problem through negotiations.

Zhou Shi, who had been observing the movement outside the door, suddenly became anxious: "Master Hou, no, they are taking the items that started the fire and want to burn the building。。。。。。 ”

Yang Ke came to the door and looked through the gap, sure enough, these people were already looking for things to start the fire from the street shops on all sides, tying up the torches, obviously waiting until the torches were enough, and then throwing them directly to the restaurant, so that there would be no one in the restaurant.

"These bastards are ruthless, and there are their own people in the restaurant, and they don't care about it." Hei Qi gritted his teeth and scolded.

Zhou Chu also looked at Yang Ke with a solemn face and said: "Master Hou, these people are lawless to this point, they dare to kill people and set fire in broad daylight, how different is it from bandits?" ”

A trace of imperceptible anger flashed on Yang Ke's face, and he said categorically: "Rush out, shoot all the crossbow arrows first, and then form a formation to kill the enemy, and don't let any of them go." ”

A group of people were very excited when they heard this, and they were forced by the other party to be a turtle with a shrunken head in the restaurant, which had already made them feel aggrieved, and when they heard that they could rush out and give it a go, they all began to gear up.
