The emperor and the Jinyi Wei commander Ji Gang sent the commander envoy to send an envoy, and he had the privilege of cutting first and then playing, Zhou Fahai, as a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, didn't know, but the official document didn't say the name and identity of the envoy, so he didn't connect the envoy with the young earl in front of him.

The special envoy has the privilege of cutting first and then playing, and not only did he not obey the order, but instead spoke disrespectfully, and also helped the criminal Lu Shopkeeper who was being arrested by the special envoy to speak, and at this moment, I am afraid that most of the head on his neck has been cut off.

Now when Yang Qiuchi asked if he obeyed the order, there seemed to be hope, and he was suddenly overjoyed, and kowtowed again and again: "Willing to be lowly and willing to obey the command of the envoy, go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, and never give up!" I only ask that the envoy will spare his humble duties. ”

"Good! When you go out, the official wants you to give an order immediately, and send the brocade guards to control Lu gradually leaving Lu's shopkeeper, and you can't let him escape! If you escape, I'll ask you! ”

"Yes, yes! The lowly will go and order. ”

"Wait!" Yang Qiuchi shouted, "You must keep the identity of my envoy absolutely secret, if there is any leakage, you will not be spared!" ”

"The lowly understands it, the lowly position understands!" Zhou Fahai hunched his waist and agreed again and again. The three of them walked back to the living room.

Those brocade guards had been restrained by Yang Qiuchi's guards, lying on the ground and not daring to move.

Yang Qiuchi made a gesture. The guards released a few brocade guards, and one of them, Fan Zongqi, scolded and scolded: "You fucking dare to ......"

Zhou Fahai rushed up and slapped him, causing Mr. Fan to turn around on the spot.

Zhou Fahai roared: "How dare you fucking do this...... Speak to the lord, and if you dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will kill you! ”

Fan Zongqi didn't know how their hundred households had gone in once, and after they came out, they all changed into a person, covering their faces and chattering.

Zhou Baihu shouted: "Why don't you go and call all the brothers to gather, there is urgent business!" ”

The brocade guards agreed again and again, and ran out of the door as if flying, and after a while, the chaotic footsteps of the brocade guards were heard outside the house, and they were urgently assembling.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yang Qiuchi asked: "What is the backstage of this Lu shopkeeper besides the prefect and the deputy thousand households of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households?" ”

Zhou Fahai said with a bitter face: "Special ...... Sir, I really don't know about the lowly position, and the lowly position really didn't lie. ”

"Okay, I'll talk about this later, and in a while you order Fan Zongqi to lead a hundred people to control Lu Yanli, and you take the rest with me. Bring more strong bows and crossbows! Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, to deal with the target on the river, a strong bow and a hard crossbow would be more effective.

"Up...... Where to go? ”

"You'll know when the time comes."

At this time, the general banner of Fan ran in from outside just now and said, "Report to the Lord of the Hundred Households, the team has been assembled." ”

Zhou Fahai looked at Yang Qiuchi, saw him nodding, and then stepped out of the door. After the order was given, the soldiers divided into two routes, one changed into civilian clothes to control the Lu shopkeeper, and the other team followed Yang Qiuchi straight to the Jialing River where Nangong Xiong and they went.

Baoning Mansion is still more than fifty miles away from Nangong Xiong and the others on the side of the Jialing River.

Along the way, Yang Qiuchi was very worried about whether he was too late, although he was very worried that Nangong Xiong and the others had missed the fleet of the boat gang to traffic illicit salt, but he was even more worried that if Nangong Xiong and the others stopped the smuggling salt fleet, once they fought, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Although Nangong Xiong and the others are all one of the Jinyi guards and the Ouchi guards, excluding the four people who followed him, the five people who Xu Shiling brought to Baoning Mansion and Shi Qiujian who stayed in the Bazhou Yamen, there are only thirty people, even if there are more than ten catchers, the number is still too small.

This boat gang escorting smuggled salt, it must be a fleet, and it is estimated that there is also an armed escort, and after all, there are probably hundreds of people in the escort boat gang. There is a huge disparity in strength, and more importantly, Nangong Xiong and other guards almost don't know the surname Shui, and they have to deal with enemies several times their own on the river, which can't help but worry Yang Qiuchi.

After leaving Baoning Mansion, Yang Qiuchi told Zhou Baihu the purpose of their trip.

The mountain road is winding, and although I ride a horse, I can't move quickly. It was very hot, the little black dog stuck out his tongue in Yang Qiuchi's arms, and Song Yun'er and Hong Aya followed closely behind Yang Qiuchi on horseback. Yang Qiuchi originally asked Hong Aya to stay in the yamen of the Jinyi Wei Baihu to wait for her, but she was worried about Yang Qiuchi and had to come with her, and Yang Qiuchi didn't worry about leaving him there alone, so she agreed.

After running twenty or thirty miles, he came to an open area. Zhou Baihu said: "Sir, shall we take a little rest?" I...... I want to be convenient. ”

Yang Qiuchi saw that the horses were running continuously, and he was so tired that he only foamed at the mouth on this hot day, nodded, and ordered to trim himself in place for a while before continuing to set off.

Because of Song Yun'er and Hong Aya, Zhou Fahai ran to the grass in the distance for convenience.

Yang Qiuchi got off the horse, put the little black dog on the ground, fanned the wind with the palm of his hand, and said, "It's so hot, when has it been here, it's still so hot." ”

Song Yun'er said: "It's okay, I'll get you water." With that, he turned and rummaged in the saddle luggage.

Hong Aya took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped her sweat for Yang Qiuchi, and said, "The master ran this way in a hurry, of course it was hot." He took out a folding fan from his saddle bag and fanned Yang Qiuchi with a bang. Xu Shiling and other guards were scattered around Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say, "Sir, drink some cold water." ”

Yang Qiuchi turned his head and saw one of Zhou Fahai's brocade guards holding a bag of water in his hand, bowed over and handed it over, and said respectfully: "Sir, please drink water." ”

Yang Qiuchi stared at him, feeling thirsty, nodded and thanked him, took it, turned to Hong Aya and said, "You can drink a little too, look at the sweat all over your body." ”

Hong Aya smiled, looked at Yang Qiuchi with shining eyes, full of sweet love, and took the water bag.

At this moment, a trace of horror flashed in Hongyan's eyes—it was the horror of a great crisis!

Yang Qiuchi didn't think about it, he pounced forward, and threw the red silk to the ground, and then the cold light flashed, and a short blade swept over Yang Qiuchi's head!

Yang Qiuchi rolled with the red silk in his arms, and then heard a startle, Song Yun'er had already kicked the brocade guard upside down and flew out a few steps.

Song Yun'er turned around to get the water bag just now, she didn't notice Yang Qiuchi's danger, and after the crisis, she couldn't help but be very afraid, fortunately, Yang Qiuchi was clever, and she followed Song Yun'er to practice so many martial arts, although three days of fishing and two days of drying nets were not a climate, and the martial arts were not practiced anything, but this skill was also agile, and this dodged the killer's fatal blow from behind.

Song Yun'er shook her body in front of Yang Qiuchi, showed her short blade, and shouted to Zhou Fahai: "You dare to assassinate the lord!" ”

Xu Shiling and the other nine personal guards reacted quickly, and seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, they immediately pulled out their swords, and together with Song Yun'er, they protected Yang Qiuchi and Hong Aya in the circle back to back. The little black dog stood by Yang Qiuchi's side and roared lowly.

There was a chaotic sound, and hundreds of brocade-clothed guards around them showed their blades and surrounded the nine guards including Yang Qiuchi, Hong Aya, Song Yun'er, and Xu Shiling. Their horses were frightened and had run away.

Zhou Fahai stood in the distance and sneered: "Lord Yang, you are quite clever." ”

The thrilling scene just now made Hong Aya's face turn white with fright, and she groped around Yang Qiuchi in a panic: "Master, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Yang Qiuchi picked up the red silk and said, "Fortunately, the eyes of my red silk baby told me the flashing knife light stabbed by the killer behind me. ”

Zhou Fahai clapped his palms: "Admire!" It's amazing. However, if you want to fight with me, you're still a little tender. ”

Indeed, Yang Qiuchi regretted that he was still too young, and he had been engaged in forensic work, after all, he was not on the front line of criminal investigation, especially lacking experience in dealing with such underworld gang crimes.

Yang Qiuchi said: "It's my mistake, since you have spoken for Lu gradually leaving Lu's shopkeeper, you must have accepted a lot of benefits from him, how can you sincerely obey me to arrest him." ”

Zhou Fahai was very proud, and laughed: "Let me tell you the truth, gradually leaving the trafficking of illicit salt, I also have a share, if you want to catch his fishing boat, won't you arrest me!" I did receive a lot of benefits from the shopkeeper Lu, I am a grasshopper on the same line as him, you have to deal with him, that is, deal with me! Tell me, what can I do? ”

Zhou Fahai laughed proudly for a while, and then continued: "The Fan Zongqi who gathered the team just now is my cronies, and he is also a grasshopper on our line, and he also has his part in this trafficking of illicit salt. Hahaha, so, these brothers sent to me are all my cronies. And Fan Zongqi led the team to set up control, but he actually went to inform them. ”

Yang Qiuchi regretted that he was in a hurry to catch the boat gang and smuggle the salt fleet, but he didn't expect that Jinyiwei, who was originally his own person, became an accomplice of the boat gang, and now he fell into the circle of hundreds of people on the other side, his heart sank, and said: "You killed me, how can you explain?" ”

Zhou Baihu smiled: "I didn't kill you, I will report that a group of bandits killed you, I don't know at all, and I won't be involved, besides, if I don't kill you, our affairs will be exposed, and it will be over." So, let's either die or I live today! ”

Zhou Fahai waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, give it to me, and divide their corpses into pieces!" The fan looked at Hong Aya and added, "Pay attention to that beautiful chick and keep it, don't hurt her!" ”

The brocade guards rushed up with a shout, clanging together.
