"That's weird." Leng Yi smiled, "You weren't at the scene, you ruled out the suspicion of killing your sister-in-law's crime, this should be a good thing, why don't you let your brother know?" ”

Tu Er gritted his teeth and said, "You help me cover up this matter, I won't let you work hard in vain, and I will definitely repay you heavily." ”

"Oh? How do you thank me? ”

Tu Er touched his body, took a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Leng Yi, and said, "This jade pendant was given to me by my brother, and it cost three hundred taels of silver!" It was given to the eldest master, and the right was a thank you gift. ”

Leng Yi took it, put it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Is it really worth so much money?" ”

"Of course, the lord can ask those who know the goods to know at a glance."

"Are you laughing at the county's ignorance?"

"No, no!" Tu Er's expression was quite embarrassed, "I just want to say that this jade pendant is really valuable." ”

Leng Yi snorted, put the jade pendant in his sleeve, and said, "Okay, the county will help you carry it and say goodbye!" ”

Coming out of the room, Cheng Luojie said in a low voice: "Master, this kid is sneaky, why don't you ask clearly, a piece of jade pendant will send you away?" ”

Leng Yi smiled: "The show is still to come, don't worry." ”

"Where are we going now?"

Leng Yi looked back, but didn't see Tu Er following, so he said in a low voice: "Naturally, I went to find the Tu Gang Master." ”

After Leng Yi asked, he learned that the Tu gang leader had left home and went to the entrance of the gang hall. At that moment, let the servants lead it, and they also went straight to the entrance of the hall.

The entrance of the boat gang hall is the place where the boat gang deliberates, in a house by the Ba River.

In the hall.

The Dai gang leader of the Zha Nu Gang is confronting the Tu gang leader.

After He Xian brought the words to the Dai Gang Master, she did not leave there, but had to see the Tu Gang Master, otherwise, there was no fun in this matter. The Tu gang leader had no choice but to come to the entrance of the hall and meet the Dai gang leader, but after a few words, the two sides were at a stalemate.

Dai Gang Master said: "Tu Gang Master, you also know that Xu Yuanwai's merchant ships used to pay us dock fees, but now you asked him to give you the ferry help, and also kidnapped his wife and children, and seized his merchant ships. You say, "Are you deceiving people too much?" ”

Tu Gang Master said: "Dai Gang Master is serious, you female gang, in the past, you used to catch a woman and a child, and ask for a ransom or something, when did you reach out to the river?" You should also know that the transportation of ships on and off the Ba River is the business of our boat gang, and the dock fee has always been collected by us. You know, the yamen still has to take a cut from us every year, do you come to collect the dock fee and let us drink the northwest wind? ”

"I don't care what wind you like to drink, but I want to ask, which bastard set the rule that the dock fee of the Ba River can only be collected by your boat gang, and no one else can touch it? Say it, and the old lady will ask him to judge. ”

Gang Leader Tu held his breath and said, "Gang Master Dai, you won't be able to listen to what you talk like this." This is a customary rule, you women gang kidnap women and children, our boat gang collects dock fees, each goes its own way, each crosses a bridge, and everything is safe. I haven't been blushing at you guys kidnapping tickets, have I? ”

"You didn't plug in? You kidnapped Xu Yuanwai's wife and children, isn't this a sideways hand? ”

"This one is different." Tu Gang Leader said, I kidnapped them, it was because their merchant ships did not pay dock fees, not kidnapping tickets for extortion. It's completely different from you......"

As soon as he said this, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and a small leader ran in, panting, and said, "Report to the helper, it's not good!" That two girls ......."

As soon as he said this, he seemed to have just discovered that the leader of the Lady Gang Dai was also here, so he immediately shut up.

Tu Gang Leader said: "What's the matter, let's talk about it, Dai Gang Leader is not an outsider." ”

"Yes!" The little leader took a breath and said, "Mrs. Xu Yuanwai, holding the child, jumped into the river and committed suicide!" ”

"What?" Gang Leader Dai was shocked, stood up suddenly, took out the long sword on his waist, pointed at the gang leader, and said sharply: "The surname is Tu, you dare to tear up the ticket!" ”

The surrounding boat gang and the women of the Lady Gang also showed their swords one after another and confronted each other.

Gang Leader Tu looked at Gang Leader Dai coldly and said, "Which eye did you see me tearing up the ticket, didn't you hear it?" They committed suicide by jumping into the river! ”

"Fart! Who doesn't know your ghost tricks! Dai Bangzhu said, "Okay! Now that we've torn our faces, we're just going to break up in two! - Let's go! With a long sword in hand, he turned around and left, followed by the members of the Lady Gang.

Suddenly, the Dai gang leader saw a flower in front of him, and saw that the Tu gang leader had already arrived in front of him, clasped his shoulders with both hands, and said: "Our boat gang, how can you come when you say you come, and leave as soon as you say?" ”

"What do you want?" Gang Leader Dai took a step back, his long sword pointed at the throat of the Gang Leader.

"It's simple." The leader of the Tu gang said, "Kidnapping women and children is your women's gang's specialty, have you ever thought that one day you yourself will be kidnapped?" Well? ”

Dai Gang Master's expression changed greatly, the tip of the long sword trembled slightly, and he said inwardly: "You, you want to keep us?" Gotta ask if my sword says yes! ”

Tu Gang Leader came over with her long sword with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "If your Gang Leader Chen and Deputy Gang Leader Xie are still here, I still have three points of fear, but your Gang of Women has offended too many people, and they have been slaughtered in the Land Temple outside the city." Died a terrible death. And you, who used to be just a small boss, came up to be a helper by relying on your mouth, you say, should I be afraid of you little scratcher? ”

As soon as the last word came out, the Tu gang leader had already made a move, smashing the gang leader's chest. Both of them were as fast as lightning, and in a matter of moments, they had already fought for more than a dozen rounds. Just listened to the bang, Tu Gang Leader slapped his palm, and hit the towering chest of the Dai Gang Leader!

Dai Gang Master was beaten and flew out, rolled on the ground a few times, and the long sword also flew out of his hand.

The women of the Lady Gang all changed color on their faces, rushed over, and helped her up. Dai felt the blood in his chest surge, and swallowed a mouthful of blood that had surged into his throat. Viciously staring at the Gang Leader.

The Tu gang leader touched his palm, and said with a smile: "It feels good, I can't see it, you stinky girl is forty or fifty years old, and you still have such a bullet surname." ”

He Xian next to him said with a smile: "The helper will go down with this palm, but I'm afraid that it has become a baked cake, and I won't play my surname anymore!" ”

The boat gang laughed.

At this moment, a boat gang ran into the lobby, bowed down and said, "Gang leader, Leng Yi, the magistrate of Yinling County, asks to see you." ”

The Tu gang leader was stunned for a moment and said, "How did this sesame official find here?" Is there a case to be settled? -- Tell him to go back and wait for me, and say I'll go back right away. ”

"Yes!" The gang walked quickly.

The Tu Gang Master said coldly: "Do you put down your blades and obediently tie your hands and capture them, or wait for us to slaughter you one by one and throw them into the river to feed Wang Ba?" ”

When the Dai gang leader heard that there was a court official, he seemed to see a savior, although it was Leng Zhixian who had been kidnapped by their women's gang, but he couldn't care about it, and said urgently: "Quick!" Rush out! ”

All the women also understood, and immediately screamed and rushed out to kill.

The gang members of the boat gang hurriedly raised their blades to block it, and the leader of the slaughter gang said sharply: "Stop! Get out of the way! Let them go! ”

He Xian hurriedly said, "Helper! Let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless! ”

The leader of the Tu gang snorted and said loudly: "I'm a dignified boat gang, afraid that she will tickle the girls of the gang?" Let them go! ”

The boat gang hurriedly got out of the way, and the people of the Lady Gang supported Dai Gang and escaped from the lobby in embarrassment.

Looking at their backs, the leader of the Tu gang said to He Xian: "This sesame official is very powerful, there are six doors of head catchers to follow, he is very promising, you must be careful, you can't kill people in front of him!" lest it cause trouble. ”

He Xian nodded frequently and said, "The helper is very thoughtful, anyway, he can't hide from the fifteenth day of junior high school!" It's not too late to find a girl gang in the future. ”

"When dealing with women, you can't take it lightly! Tell the brothers to be careful in the future! ”

"Yes!"

"You all stand down, please come in Leng Zhixian!"

The gang retreated, and soon the lobby was calm.

Leng Yi took Yin Ying, Cheng Luojie and a few of them to wait in the waiting room, and saw a group of women, holding swords, helping a middle-aged woman to go out, and when the woman passed by the hall, she also glanced at him, and there was even a little gratitude in her eyes.

After waiting for a while, the helpers came over, bowed down and said, "The helper invites the master in." ”

Leng Yi and the others stepped into the lobby. The Tu gang leader greeted him with a spring breeze on his face, and arched his hand: "Master, if you chase me to the entrance of the hall, there must be a major breakthrough in the case, right?" Who killed my wife? ”

Leng Yi took his robe and sat down, and did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "Just now I saw a group of women rushing out with swords. Who are they? It can't be some kind of robber, right? ”

"It's the people of the Lady Gang, it's just a little quarrel, and it's fine."

"Oh? I heard that the Women's Gang specializes in kidnapping women and children, and they still dare to run rampant in the world? Aren't you afraid that the government will arrest them? ”

"These wicked people are naturally not afraid. - Master Leng, let's talk about my lady first? Have you identified the killer? ”

"I'm sorry, helper, I haven't found the murderer of Madame Zun yet, because there is a person who refuses to help me in my investigation."

"Who?"

"Brother Ling."

"Him?" Gang Leader's face turned gloomy, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"He wasn't studying in the study at the time, and when I asked him where he went, he wouldn't say."

"What?" The Tu Gang Master's face suddenly turned pale, as if a storm was coming, "He didn't even study hard in the study?" ”

"Yes, I asked him where he went,-I'm sorry, I'm not curious, because I had to find proof that he wasn't there,--and he wouldn't say, and I said that if you don't say it, you can only be arrested as a suspect in the murder of your sister-in-law, because only you and the maid and the porter are the three of you, and the maid and the porter are powerless to kill, and only you have the strength. He said to catch it. I really couldn't help it, so I said I was going to come to the helper. He bribed me and took out this jade pendant, telling me to keep it a secret for him, and not to tell the helper about his absence in the study, how could I deceive the helper about this kind of thing? That's why I'm here. This is the jade pendant he gave me. ”

Leng Yi took out the jade pendant and put it on the coffee table.
