readx; Dou Mingwang gave an order, and several subordinates immediately took action. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info They are all soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, and in addition to normal combat skills, they also master a variety of special skills, and this "stealing" is one of them. They walked nimbly through the crowded gamblers, pretending to be watching the excitement or placing bets, and when they were unprepared, they cut the straps of the scabbards hanging from the waists of the ruffians with the short daggers they carried, and then quickly passed their weapons out.

Originally, there was a weapon hanging on his waist, and he could feel it from the weight when he was missing. But at this time, the attention of these ruffians was all on the gambling table, and they never expected that someone would steal their weapons, but they didn't realize it.

After stealing seven or eight swords in a row, Dou Mingwang felt that it was enough, and if he stole more, it would be troublesome if he was found to be missing, so he ordered most of the soldiers to leave the casino immediately with weapons. When these ruffians found out that the weapons on their bodies were gone, they shouted and screamed, but they didn't care too much, and thought that someone might have stolen the weapons in exchange for silver, and they would go back to the camp to get them anyway.

At this time, it was only the news of Cheng Ji's life, and Dou Mingwang was anxious, and asked the soldiers to try their best to trap the words of those gamblers to see if they could find some clues.

After a while, a soldier hurriedly led Dou Fame to a nearby casino, pointed to a noisy gambling table and whispered: "Battalion commander, there is a person who has lost all his silver and bet on a piece of jade, which looks very much like the jade belt of Lord Cheng!" ”

Dou Mingwang was in good spirits, and hurriedly squeezed over to take a closer look. Sure enough, I saw a soldier holding a piece of milky white jade and shouting at others with a red face and a thick neck: "You leopards, do you know the goods?" This is a genuine Hetian jade, at least worth a few hundred taels of silver, why can't I bet on it? ”

Dou Mingwang fixed his eyes and saw that the jade was actually a hollowed, finely carved, and intricately decorated jade belt (sound collapse), and he was immediately convinced that this thing came from Cheng Ji's life.

It turned out that the ancient official Peiyu was a symbol of status and rank, so there were strict regulations. Like this kind of jade, it can only be worn on the jade belt, and the jade belt can only be worn by first-class civil officials. Although Cheng Jiming failed to enter the cabinet, Zhu Youzhen gave him the official title of Young Master from Yipin in order to appease him, so Cheng Jiming had a jade belt. In addition to him, the biggest civil official in Xiangyang City is Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, but he is only a second grade, and it is impossible to have a jade belt. So when you see this piece of jade, you can follow the vine and find Chengji's life.

Dou Mingwang was overjoyed, squeezed to the man's side and deliberately teased: "You say that Hetian jade is Hetian jade?" The brothers are all struggling with knives, but they don't understand this kind of thing, unless you can tell where this thing came from, it's fake. Do you want to take a broken stone as a gamble and empty gloves, and be a fool when your brothers are stupid? ”

When the soldiers heard this, there was another commotion, and the man was so angry that his face turned red and said, "Speaking out scares you to death!" Do you know what I do? The cell boss who guards the prisoners in the army! Yesterday, an old man came in, and I heard that he refused to serve the king of blessings, and he might have to cut off his head and sacrifice the flag in a few days. He's a big official, and the brothers pulled all the jade off his jade belt, and I was lucky enough to grab a piece..."

Dou Mingwang smiled and said, "It's a bit credible for you to say that. However, only cash is accepted in the gambling game, but there is no rule for betting on things. I think this piece of jade is also a good thing, why don't you sell it to me? ”

The soldier had already lost a dozen taels of silver on his body, and when he saw that someone wanted to buy jade, of course he couldn't ask for it, so he followed Dou Mingwang out of the casino and into a secluded alley. Seeing that there was no one outside, Dou Mingwang immediately used his hard skills in the army to subdue that person with just one move. At this time, several soldiers also rushed over to surround the man, and Dou Mingwang grabbed the man's neck, only allowing him to catch his breath a little, and asked in a low voice: "Where did you say that the old man who was arrested yesterday is locked up?" How many people are guarded? Recruit from the real right away, otherwise..."

As he spoke, he put a slight force on his hand, and the man immediately couldn't breathe, and his eyes bulged out. Dou Mingwang let go, and the man climbed back from the ghost gate, how dare he disobey, so he had to gasp violently and said: "Locked in... In the backyard of the prefect's yamen, there are twenty people guarding the main gate, and the back door... Locked from the inside, no one guards..."

Dou Mingwang asked a few more words, and after confirming that the other party was not lying, he used his hand again, but this time he was merciless, and crushed the man's throat bone in one fell swoop. Then he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Action!" ”

Fifty soldiers immediately mounted their horses, and after asking where the Qing prefect's yamen was, they pretended to be indifferent and came to the outside of the yamen in twos and threes. Sure enough, there were more than ten Hong soldiers with sharp blades guarding the yamen, and Dou Mingwang and the others turned to the back, and saw a corner door in the northwest corner.

At this time, it was already three poles of the sun, and Dou's reputation was afraid that it would change later, so he ordered twenty soldiers to guard the street, and he personally led thirty soldiers, and the seven or eight people in the front held stolen swords, flew up and kicked the door open, and then killed them without saying a word.

There were also several jailers in the backyard, and when they saw someone break down the door, they were cut down to the ground by the soldiers after just two exclaims. Dou Mingwang grabbed one that was not dead, and pressed his neck with a knife and asked sharply: "Where is Chengji's life?" ”

The jailer pointed to a room in horror, Dou Mingwang opened his mouth, and the lieutenant officer immediately kicked open the door, and sure enough, he saw that Cheng Jiming was tied up and locked inside. Everyone immediately cut the ropes on Cheng Jiming's body, and the Chinese officer rushed out with Cheng Jiming on his back without saying anything.

At this time, the Hong soldiers in the front yard heard the movement and had already shouted and killed. Dou Mingwang picked up his knife and killed the jailer, led the soldiers to turn around and run, and when he got out of the courtyard wall, he turned over and got on his horse, and galloped down the street.

Of course, the chasing soldiers behind were in hot pursuit, and Dou Mingwang's eyes rolled and shouted: "Run to the casino!" ”

The crowd galloped on horseback, and soon came outside the casino. Dou Mingwang opened his throat and shouted: "Brothers under the Eight Great Kings, we have been fooled! King Hongyan, the dog thief, lured us into the city, and wanted to close the door and beat the dogs, you listen, a large team of people and horses are coming! ”

When hundreds of thieves heard this, they immediately threw their cards and went out, and sure enough, they saw officers and soldiers shouting in the distance and chasing after them. The thieves and Hong Chengchou's Hong soldiers did not trust each other, but when they saw this scene, they believed it, and the leader of the thieves immediately turned over and scolded: "The dogs* dare to lie to Lao Tzu!" Brothers, get on your horse and get out of the city! ”

These hundreds of thieves are all bandits under Zhang Kewang, and they each have their own sharp blades, and hundreds of people charge along the street together, which is really unstoppable. Dou Mingwang and fifty warriors rushed out together in the thief array, and soon arrived at the west gate of Xiangyang City.

The guards of the city did not know what was happening, and thought that these men were going to leave the city after receiving their food, and were smiling and trying to come forward to say hello, but the thieves swung their swords and slashed indiscriminately, and then rushed through. By the time the pursuers caught up, the thieves had already left the city, leaving only a few dozen corpses of the defenders who had inexplicably seen the king of Hades!
