Jail. Like the prison cells in most states and counties of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a gloomy atmosphere, and the leather whips hanging on the walls and the torture instruments stained with dried blood made everyone's hearts feel depressed. However, what made everyone feel the greatest pressure was the gloomy face on the face of the Zhizhou Xianggong and the blackened blood words on the wall.

"Prison robbery and murderer - Li Cheng of Xiongzhou!"

These words seemed to be squeezed out of Han Xiao's teeth, and Xue Liangchen and Zhou Ping on the side were already kneeling on the ground, and Xue Liangchen said in a trembling voice: "The villain is not strict, and there are such villains, and there are such villains, it is really a crime that deserves death." Please also ask the prime minister to give the subordinate a chance to make meritorious contributions! ”

"So this Xiongzhou Li Cheng is your person?" Han Xiaoxuan's tone did not have the slightest ups and downs, but it made people only feel a chill from their bones.

"The lower official should be damned, yesterday it was said that Li Cheng had a conflict with the third and fourth brothers, and the villain scolded that guy for a few words, but he didn't expect that guy to have a bad heart and do such a thing without a king's law!" Xue Liangchen kowtowed again and again on the ground, and his forehead was already bruised and oozing blood. Han Xiaoxuan snorted coldly: "For your sake, for your sake, you are exempted from the crime of lax management of the army, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable." Someone will beat this guy with twenty whips first! ”

The officers on both sides responded, and immediately dragged Xue Liangchen aside, whipped him, and Zhou Ping also accompanied him with ten strokes, and after the beating, the two came up and thanked him. Han Xiaoxuan said coldly: "This Bai Sheng is a repeat offender of the Birth Gang, and I can't cover it up, so let's do it, I will give you a one-month deadline to arrest this Li Cheng and Bai Sheng, otherwise the two of you will go to the crime!" ”

"Thank you!"

Soldiers and horses are guarding the yamen.

"Thank you Inspector Wu for coming to deliver the medicine in person!" Xue Liangwu and Xue Liangyu respectfully took a small paper bag sent by Wu Facheng. "No need, they're all colleagues, it's all as it should be!" Wu Facheng said with a smile: "This is a first-class gold sore medicine, and in the next period of time, fifteen days is twenty spines, and it can be regarded as a good doctor for a long time!" ”

"Thank you Wu for patrolling!" Xue Liangyu bowed again, sent the other party out of the door, returned to the house, and said to Xue Liangchen and Zhou Ping, who were lying on the bed to apply medicine: "Wu Inspector came to deliver medicine just now, and the third brother sent him out!" ”

"Hmm!" Xue Liangchen nodded, Xue Liangyu put the medicine on the table, and said angrily: "This Li Cheng is really not a thing, he actually played this trick, if I want to catch him, I have to rip his flesh off his body inch by inch." ”

"Don't say such useless words!" Xue Liangchen said coldly: "You go and see how the wanted documents are prepared, and also, a few people who are close to Li Cheng in Heping are good to talk about, don't have a suspicion of our own people for this matter." As long as the thieves are taken down within the time limit, everything will be fine! ”

"Yes, second brother, Brother Zhou, you guys are so resting and recuperating, I'll go down first!" Xue Liangyu bowed to Zhou Ping and Xue Liangchen, and then withdrew from the house.

Xue Liangchen looked at the back of the fourth brother and said with a smile: "Ah Ping, the fourth brother has gone on a long trip with you, and he has made great progress!" ”

"Lang Jun said he was laughing!" Zhou Ping said with a smile: "Shiro is good at riding and shooting, I can also do a lot of power for him when I go out this time, some things will naturally be known when I am old, Lang Jun is too careful." ”

"Hmm!" Xue Liangchen smiled and nodded, and then his face became solemn: "Ah Ping, do you think this thing can be done?" ”

"I don't know if it will succeed or not, but we have to take a lot of measures to deal with Song Jiang, and we will pay close attention to the matter of military training first!"

Two days later, the town of Hecai. The town of Hahachae is located 30 miles northwest of Daeye-gun, Jeju Prefecture. After the Gwangje River goes out of Jeju, it goes to Hachae Town, Tongliang Gongbo, which is a very important market town. This day is the day of the Wei, and in recent years, the people have some surplus money in their hands, have to buy all kinds of New Year's goods in the market town, for a time this set Cai Town is only one street, but the street is crowded, quite a bit of peace.

The Hu Kee Donkey Butcher Shop in the east of the town is doing quite well, and the dozen or so tables in the shop are packed, and there are four or five tables on the street. The owner of this shop, Hu Erlang, was originally a victim who fled from Huazhou, at first he opened a pick to buy cooking cakes here, and then with the expansion of the scale of the business, he actually earned a shop for more than 20 years, and the Hu Ji donkey meat in the store is famous far and wide, and the merchants will eat a big bowl, which can be regarded as a signboard in this Hecai town.

"Xiao Er, two more catties of donkey meat, and cooking cakes, add some soup!" Li Cheng shouted loudly.

"Great!" The shopkeeper answered, his eyes swept over the dining table, and he saw that there were four or five pottery bowls stacked on top of him, meat and bones were thrown everywhere, and the clothes on the two guests were just coarse cloth clothes often worn by the poor.

"Two guest officers, the little shop is a small profit, so-" Xiao Er laughed lowly, he didn't want to be cursed and fisted by the shopkeeper for meeting a guest who ate white food.

"I'm afraid we don't have any money?" Li Cheng laughed, and smiled at his companion who was bowing his head and drinking soup: "Zhu Er, take some money out, don't let others think that we are eating white food." ”

The companion did not look up, but untied a purse from his waist and threw it on the table, making a dull noise. Li Cheng stretched out his hand and groped in the money bag for a while, took out a small piece of silver ingot and threw it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Enough!" ”

The shopkeeper put the silver ingot in his mouth and bit it in disbelief, looked at the tooth marks on it, and replied in surprise: "Enough is enough, you two and wait, I will bring the meat and cakes immediately!" ”

"Well, cut another five catties of donkey meat, wrap some cooking cakes, and we'll take them to eat on the road!" Li Cheng said with a smile.

"Okay, guest wait!" The little two took the silver into his arms and ran quickly to the counter. As soon as he walked away, the man with his head bowed said in a low voice: "Engong, can you be careful, this place has many ears and eyes, you and I are identities-"

"You're afraid!" Dahan smiled: "As long as you don't take the wrong path, with my knife, you can naturally keep you and me safe." ”

"It's not that I'm taking the wrong path, it's just that if you and I get out, the government will definitely arrest Liangshanbo on the road leading to Liangshanbo, Liangshanbo is on the east side, let's go west and make a detour before it's safe-" Bai Sheng said this, suddenly closed his mouth, lowered his head, it turned out that several officials came over, holding a arrest document in their hands, pasted a little paste on the pillar of the restaurant in the back, turned around and said loudly: "Those of you here can see clearly, this is the important criminal wanted by the government, if you see it, report it to the government immediately, and reward two hundred yuan, If you can capture or behead you alive, you will be rewarded with 500 pieces! ”

Bai Sheng hurriedly lowered his head, trying his best to bury his face in the soup bowl, and after a while, he secretly raised his head, and glanced at the list on the pillar with the corner of his eye, and sure enough, the list was painted with the heads of two people, one of whom was himself.

"I saw it clearly, and when I saw it, I came to protect the official, and the two hundred copper coins were in the bag!" The official at the head shouted loudly, and the rest of the officials also shouted and pulled the guests around to check whether they were wanted criminals. But rather than arresting the criminals, they are more likely to find excuses for the extortion that follows.

"Official! A few officials! Hu Erlang, the owner of the restaurant, hurriedly ran over, and a little smile appeared on his oily face: "The villains here are all good people, and the official is inclusive!" Speaking of this, his right hand had already taken out a small cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it to the official at the head: "A little heart, buy a cup of tea with the officials, and please put it away!" ”

The official weighed it slightly, felt that there was also a few hundred dollars, and said with a smile: "Okay, even if you know something, no wonder the business is so prosperous." Let's go, go to a few other shops to have a look! ”

The officials went out and happened to run into the Pu knife leaning on Li Cheng's table, knocking it to the ground, Bai Sheng hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but the black cloth wrapped around his head fell off, revealing a scar on his face, which happened to be seen by an official messenger. The official was stunned for a moment, stopped and said, "You stand up and show me!" ”

Bai Sheng's body froze suddenly, he glanced down at Li Cheng opposite, but found that the other party was eating meat as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't heard the official's question at all.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to stand up?" The official's voice became impatient, and the rest of the officials also stopped, their eyes focused on the two suspicious guys.

Bai Sheng stood up straight, but his head was still lowered. The official at the head pressed the handle of the knife and shouted, "Raise your head and let me see!" ”

Bai Sheng raised his head, and the official led by him carefully compared his face with the audience's pictures and texts, and a look of surprise emerged from his face.

"What a white, ah!"

A terrible scream interrupted his laughter, but it was Li Cheng who pulled out a dagger and pierced the left chest of the official, and then he picked up the Pu knife in his hand with a toe pick, and with a horizontal slash, he cut off the neck of another official behind him, and blood immediately spurted out of the wound.

"Murder!"

The crowd in the restaurant screamed and fled. The remaining two officials were hesitating whether to move forward to take the thief or escape, Li Cheng had already pounced like a tiger, and when the head was slashed, the official had no time to pull out the knife out of the sheath, so he had to put the sheath on the shelf, but he couldn't stop Li Cheng's divine power, and was pressed down by it, and the blade immediately cut into the shoulder, and the official suddenly screamed. The scream seemed to wake up the last official, and he turned around and fled, I don't know if he was stunned, but the direction of his escape was towards Bai Sheng.

Li Cheng pressed down hard, and the blade cut the throat of the official, and turned around and yelled. Bai Sheng made a clever move: "Don't let go of the living mouth!" Just as the official messenger passed by him, he yelled, pounced on the other party's legs, and threw him to the ground, the two scuffled on the ground, Li Cheng took two steps forward, and stabbed the last official.
