Long nights, no sleep.

Although General Pang had planned everything, he was afraid that anything would go wrong in the actual implementation and lead to a failure.

Lian Rang and his cronies and guards left the general's mansion one after another, the former to kill people, and the latter to clean up the aftermath. Once Lian Rang's assassination operation is revealed, he would rather kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 himself, and let the entire county government be buried with him than harm himself.

He had already written a note and a secret letter, and he was just waiting for the news to come back and act on it.

On the county government's side, after Lian Rang and his party successfully mixed out under the cover of General Pang's guards, he did not go back to the general's mansion directly, but rushed to the 'Jinqianjiao Shop' overnight.

He was agile and leaped from one rooftop to the next, easily dodging the encirclement.

On the roof of the restaurant, he carefully lifted a tile and quietly observed every move inside by the dim oil lamp in the house.

He noticed that there were only three or four surviving servants, all of whom were locally hired civilians, and they didn't know the inside story of the restaurant, and even if they were investigated by the government, it would not affect the overall situation, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, this is another cruel truth. The brothers who lurked in the Xuangu Pass with him can't take you back to your hometown.

He felt sorry for them, and his negligence cost them all their lives...... Or, rather, the inner ghost who stole the account books, or rather, the initiator - Xia Yue!

"Lord Bookkeeper, the people who climbed the wall didn't catch up, and we searched five streets and didn't find anything." A servant said discouragedly.

The master bookkeeper looked at the officials in front of him who had been fighting all night, one by one, looking tired and looking at him with an anxious expression.

There was a hint of pity in his dim eyes, and he smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, everyone has worked hard!" ”

"Master Bookkeeper, what should I do next?" One of the officials asked, "We failed tonight's arrest." ”

The master bookkeeper did not reply to the other party's words in time, but stood there for a long time, staring at the bloodstained lobby with empty eyes, trying to see through the clues to see the truth behind all this.

"Pass the order down and go back to the yamen." He turned to look at the surviving servant and added, "Bring back all the people in the restaurant, and bring back the corpses as well." He always felt that the identity of these little guys was not ordinary.

"Yes, I'll go and tell you." After saying that, the official left.

The door of the "I'm Senjiao Store" was sealed, and Lian Rang easily climbed through the roof to enter the room, and everywhere he could see was a mess.

He skillfully opened the secret room, picked out a few things and put them in his baggage, and hurried over the wall again.

Although the road back to the yamen was not far, the officials had already tossed all night, and they were already exhausted and walked very slowly.

The master who knew some astrological signs looked up at the starry sky from time to time, and he suddenly had an inexplicable sense of fear, and he wished that Lord Wen was by his side at the moment, so that he would not be so restless.

Since the county ordered Lord Wen to return to the yamen, such a long time has passed, and not even a letter has been transmitted, which is not like his style of doing things at all. Without saying a word, the master book rode forward on his horse.

After returning to his home with Lian Rang's cronies who went to the county office, he reported the situation to General Pang as soon as possible.

"General, the county order has hanged itself."

General Pang was first shocked and then delighted: "Have you got the account books?" ”

The crowd did not dare to look up at him. "I didn't ...... Didn't find ......"

"What?" He turned around and stared straight at the crowd, "You poor shit! His voice was like a bolt of lightning splitting the sky.

Everyone was so frightened that they fell to their knees, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.

"One person goes out to get twenty big board military sticks, and everyone is not allowed to rest until they have enough numbers!" General Pang ordered.

The crowd retreated.

"Someone!"

"General." Shi Li, the waiter at the door, asked.

"Send someone to find the scouts! Be quick! ”

"Yes, General."

After a while, the scouts arrived. "General, looking for the end of the night in the middle of the night, I don't know what is urgent?"

"One hundred thousand urgent!" Pang Jianjun walked towards him, "This is a very important matter, except that you leave it to others to do it, I don't feel at ease." Here is a letter and a memo, you set off immediately, day and night, and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you must hand it over to the Prime Minister yourself. ”

When the scout saw him speak with a serious face, he knew that the matter was not trivial, and replied respectfully, "Yes, general, please rest assured." ”

General Pang handed him the life-saving thing, and then patted him heavily on the shoulder, and did not say anything, just nodded heavily.

The scout took the letter and bowed his head and departed.

General Pang was not idle for a moment, he sent someone to come again, and explained: "You go to the county government quickly and pass on my orders." The general received a secret letter, Xuanguguan County ordered to accept bribes, collaborating with the enemy and treason, now the evidence is conclusive, has asked the imperial court for an order, during this period no one is allowed to approach the county office, violators will be beheaded! ”

"Yes."

The news soon spread outside the county office, and General Pang's guards made people rush to tell each other, and the soldiers were shocked when they learned the news, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

With many years of experience, General Pang's guards immediately understood what the general had not said, and he brought a group of people close to him to the county office.

The mouth of the alley lit candlelight, and gradually more and more, and the master returned with the officials.

He walked in and saw that the gate of the county government was heavily guarded, and something had happened, his first reaction was to save the county commander Lord Wen, he urged, "The county government is surrounded by soldiers, Lord Wen is in danger!" ”

As soon as these words came out, they exploded in the crowd.

"Brothers, the soldiers have bullied us!" One of the officials took the lead.

Everyone shouted and rushed to the county office, and when the defenders saw the scene in front of them, they were in a trance for a while, at a loss, and they were so timid that they unconsciously took a few steps back.

"Don't quit! The general has an order, and the violator will be beheaded immediately! In order to keep everyone holding on, a soldier shouted.

"His grandmother's, what kind of bullshit general order can't be taken care of by Lao Tzu!" This fierce official is the cousin of the concubine of Lord Wen of the county order, and he is from the grassroots, and he doesn't care about things, and only his brother-in-law can control him in the world.

He rushed to the front with a knife, and the county government gate quickly fell into a scuffle.

A group of people brought in by General Pang's guards killed people in the county office, and even the jailers who lived in the cells did not let go.

"Get out quickly, the county government is already in chaos, and if you escape, you will be free." They opened their cells, and the prisoners poured out like wild horses on the loose.

"Stab me, quick!" General Pang's guard said to the people next to him.

The other party thought that he had heard it wrong, and his face was full of astonishment, and he said sharply: "Quick, no matter how late the prisoner is, he won't be able to catch up!" Not a single one of them will be left! ”

"Yes...... It's ......" The other party held the knife and carefully slashed him in the arm.

"Chase! They must not be allowed to get out alive. General Pang's guard pressed the wound with one hand and said hideously.

The brother-in-law of the county commander Wen had already broken through the soldiers' defense line and rushed into the county office, and three or two prisoners in prison clothes ran up to him, and before he could react, he saw the soldiers shouting behind the prisoners.

The soldier's target was not him, and he stabbed straight at the prisoner's vital point, leaving not a single mouth alive.

He also wanted to rush in, but was stopped by General Pang's guards who came out from behind. "The general has an order, no one is allowed to approach the county office, and violators will be beheaded immediately!"

His reaction didn't seem to hear the other person at all. "What about my brother-in-law? What did you do to my brother-in-law? He said.
