Man Bohua asked, "Zhang Shenjian?" I've heard of this man, but I haven't seen him. I was hit by an arrow at the time, and I was angry in my heart, I was kind enough to give alms, but if you don't appreciate it, you can just do it, how can you repay the kindness and give me an arrow? Is it true that you yourself are lame, and you have to make me lame to be willing? I drew the dagger from my waist for self-defense, and when I was ready for them to attack again, I fought with them, and the two of them laughed, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and walked away. ”

Duan Laosan stood on the ground, paced and thought for a while, "It is said that you have no grudge against them, but they suddenly attacked you, which makes no sense. And these two people neither rob your money, nor tie up your tickets, what is the origin of this hidden arrow? ”

Everyone also talked about it, and they couldn't guess what the two cripples who attacked Man Bohua meant. Man Bohua continued: "I was hit by an arrow, although it was not fatal, but my leg wound was very painful, so I hired a carriage and rushed to Changsha. ”

The people next to him still did not hesitate when they heard that his leg was injured, and dragged his injured leg to Changsha to report the news, and they couldn't help but admire Man Bohua's dedication to saving people.

Man Bohua rested for a while and continued: "It's also unlucky, the carriage has gone less than ten miles, the sky has darkened, the lake has never been peaceful, and there are almost no pedestrians at night, but because the matter is urgent, I dare not delay, and I rushed forward, but, alas, as the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, I just cared about it, but I still met Shen Jingang's lake bandits, it was at an intersection of the lakeside road, a group of figures, were talking in a hurry, at that time, it was already dark, who would come to the field party? I knew that the situation was not good, so I quickly stopped the carriage and turned to go back, but it was too late, they had already spotted me, and there was a tall man in the crowd. Half a head taller than others, the person who kidnapped me today, has been killed by you. ”

"Who the hell is that man?" Duan Laosan asked.

"He is an officer under Chen's crooked neck, as for what position. I don't know who my name is. I met him once when I was in the city. That night, I was at the intersection and turned around and ran. But the bandits immediately chased me, and I didn't run away from the bandits, and I was quickly caught, and the bandits arrested me, just to see that I was dressed very cleanly, and I was caught as a meat ticket. The big man looked at me coldly, ignored me, and a gang of bandits scolded me and took me into the lake and took me all the way to the island. Then. I was really anxious, and secretly scolded myself for being reckless, not only did I fall into the hands of bandits, but I also delayed the matter of reporting to Professor Wan. ”

Shi Suo said to Duan Laosan: "Old Duan, although the prisoner who was escorted to Yueyang is not Professor Wan, it is very likely to be Lao He, we have to hurry to the city." ”

"Well," Duan Laosan said, "early tomorrow morning, we will enter the city." ”

Dafeng remembered something. "Brother Man, that big man, when we chase after us, use you as a shield. It's just a shame, but then he saw that he couldn't escape, so he viciously stabbed you, obviously to kill you, does he have a grudge against you? ”

"No," Man Bohua smiled bitterly, "Where did I get so many enemies?" He wanted to kill me. I guess it's probably because of one thing. That day I was caught and taken to the lake, but I couldn't sit still, I had to find a way to escape, so I pretended that my leg was very badly injured and I couldn't stand, so the bandits relaxed their vigilance, they tied me to a crypt, anyway, I couldn't walk, so there was no one to guard it, I was secretly happy in my heart, I slowly untied the rope in the crypt, looked out, and found that there was a sentry on the lake, and if you want to get out of the lake, you must take a boat, and the sentry was guarding next to the ferry. This time, I was a little worried, if the sentry was not removed, it would be difficult to escape, and I limped, obviously unable to beat the bandit sentry, what should I do? ”

Everyone next to him was attracted by his narration, imagining that he was in a bandit's nest at that time, and it was extremely dangerous, and his courage was indeed admirable.

"I made up my mind that I had to run. At dawn, the sentry was finally sleepy, leaning against a tree, as if asleep, I seized this opportunity, quietly out of the crypt, and walked towards the lake, passing by a large house, I heard the sound of talking from the house, I was startled, at the beginning of the escape, I only cared about the sentry, but I did not expect that there was someone in the big room talking, who would get up so early, before dawn? I was both surprised and worried, so I had to tiptoe forward slowly like a cat, for fear of being discovered. I only heard the people in the room say: 'No, you have betrayed the trust of Commander Chen and Mr. Yu by shrinking your hands and feet like this, and you should not let you participate in the resurgence of the Dongshan operation if you want to eat but are afraid of hot goods...... ”

"What action?" Duan Laosan asked: "Comeback?" ”

"Yes, it's a comeback. Although I didn't understand what they meant, I should have heard the words correctly, the officer was obviously arguing with another person in the house, I just wanted to run away quickly, and I didn't want to listen, so I walked lightly to the shore, who knows, the more nervous, the more accidental, the injured leg encountered a ridge, and the foot was weak, so I fell, it was early in the morning, it was very quiet, I fell outside, I heard it from inside, only to hear the inside of the house: 'Someone,' as soon as the door opened, The big officer and Shen Jingang rushed out. It turned out that the two of them were arguing in the house. ”

Duan Laosan nodded, "I understand, the reason why that officer wanted to kill you was because he thought you had overheard their secret and killed you." ”

"Yes, I was found by them, not only did I not run away, but I was beaten and tied up again, the officer repeatedly interrogated me, who sent me, what did I hear, I told him, I only occasionally passed by the lake, in the morning did not hear anything, he naturally did not believe it, but except torture to extract confessions, he did not come up with any good methods, and I really did not send anyone, he always wanted to dig out my 'backstage', but where do I have a backstage."

Speaking of this, Man Bohua looked at Duan Laosan and the others, and said with a smile: "However, I may really have a backstage in the future, and you are my backstage." ”

The beggars in Yueyang City have always been in contact with Duan Laosan and others, and they can be regarded as subordinates of the boss, Duan Laosan and Shi Suo and others entered the city in batches, until they walked to the collapsed ancient tower.

At the base of the remaining wall, several beggars were chatting and basking in the sun, and when they saw Duan Laosan, they all greeted him, very affectionate, and some said: "Old Duan, I heard that you are living a good life in Changsha." Some said, "Old Duan, let's go to Changsha too." "Is the cover okay?"

After chatting for a few words, Duan Laosan asked, "In the past two days, has there been any movement in the Chen Crooked Neck Regiment in the city?" (To be continued.) )
