Chapter 53: The Siege (7)
Zhang Jie's hand holding the scabbard couldn't help but tighten and tighten.
If they can't find Gu Qing this time, then they will have to continue to work hard all night, and if the target this time is where Gu Qing is, then it means that they will have to face the mysterious master who kidnapped Gu Qing.
There is no difference between these two outcomes, and all Zhang Jie can do is act and pray at the right time.
With a wave of his hand, the catcher next to him immediately understood, and led a group of people to surround this small alley, and did not let go of any of the back doors by the wall.
Zhang Jie weighed left and right, and dismissed the plan to kick the door in directly, but walked forward alone and knocked on the door.
Wu Mantian and Alenta in the living room heard a knock on the door for the second time today, the first time it was Alenta's father Fu Xiangtian, but this time it was obviously not so lucky, because the three of them heard the footsteps outside, and it was clear that there were many people coming from the other party, and the footsteps were orderly, obviously not the people who were sweeping around.
Then there is only one possibility, they have been arrested here and are about to find it.
Alenta glanced at Wu Mantian, and there seemed to be a question in his eyes: "Uncle, didn't you say that this place is safe?" ”
Wu Mantian turned his head to look at Fu Xiangtian with a little embarrassment, and seemed to be asking in his eyes: "Big brother, will you find me a place like this as a base?" ”
There was no one to look at Fu Xiangtian, so he had to stride towards the courtyard gate and open it before Wu Mantian could stop it.
Zhang Jie didn't wait long, then he saw that the door was opened from the inside, a huge figure covered the sunset, and the shadow shrouded Zhang Jie, followed by the coercion of being a strong man.
"Who are you looking for!"
Fu Xiangtian looked at Zhang Jie standing at the door, and he could clearly feel that there were more people hiding nearby.
Zhang Jie took out the portrait from his arms: "Have you ever seen this person?" ”
Fu Xiangtian said: "No! ”
After saying that, he was about to close the door suddenly, but Zhang Jie was anxious to block it with the saber in his hand.
Fu glared at Tianniu's eyes: "Boy, do you want to do something with Lao Tzu?" ”
Zhang Jie felt as if he was being targeted by a giant beast, his hair stood on end, and the alarm kept sounding in his heart.
But he still insisted and said: "This senior, at this time, it is a great disaster in this county, and I ask the senior to answer truthfully, I have never seen this person." ”
The hand that had just closed the door was still on the door panel, and the iron door had been pinched by him by a centimeter.
"Boy, don't you understand what I'm saying? I said I hadn't seen it! ”
"Then can you let me go in and search for it!"
Fu Xiangtian said arrogantly: "Don't think that if you are from the official family, Lao Tzu will not dare to touch you, tell you that when Lao Tzu killed someone, you were still nursing in your mother's arms!" ”
At this time, all those hidden catchers gathered behind Zhang Jie, and Zhang Jie repeated: "I don't know if the seniors can let me go in and search!" ”
Fu Xiangtian glanced around at the dozen or so catchers present, and the rest of the catchers were leading the officials to surround the entire small alley.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Hmph, if you really want to search for it, come in, as long as you don't regret it!" ”
Zhang Jie's hand holding the scabbard was bruised due to excessive force, but he just groaned for a while, and then resolutely stepped into this door.
Led the crowd to walk into the courtyard, Zhang Jie walked straight to the hall, because he saw that there were already people waiting for him.
Wu Mantian sat on the first seat, and the chair on the right side that had been used to entertain guests said: "Your guests are coming, and I hope to forgive you if you can't welcome you from afar." ”
Zhang Jie raised his hand holding the knife, put it on his left hand, and saluted: "It should be an apology, the seniors came to my Beiguang County, and the county officials were able to visit the county government quickly, and they also looked at Haihan." ”
"You're welcome."
"I don't know the name of the seniors, so I can remember that if the seniors come to my Beiguang County again in the future, I should make plans as soon as possible."
Wu Mantian set up his identity as the Sword Alliance: "I am the elder of the outer gate of the Sword Alliance, Wu Mantian." ”
"Lao Tzu's name is Fu Xiangtian!"
At this time, Fu Xiangtian also interjected.
Zhang Jie was very painful in his heart, the people in the small towns below didn't know about the Sword Alliance, he was the catcher of Beiguang County, and the Sword League could be said to be the largest sect force in the entire Tongtian Mansion, how could he not have heard of it.
He couldn't afford to provoke the Sword Alliance, and the Yuwen Sword outside had already put the sword on the necks of the people in the city.
Zhang Jie said: "The predecessors don't know, there was a team of people who came to the county to make trouble, the leading white-clothed swordsman is extremely strong in martial arts, they claim that their young master was hijacked, and at present, in the entire city, if they can't exchange their young master for ordinary people at noon tomorrow, they will threaten to destroy the city!" ”
"What does that have to do with my sword alliance?"
Wu Mantian looked at Zhang Jie calmly and said.
Zhang Jie pinched it for a moment, and said in a deep voice again: "But I heard that the young master is in your mansion." ”
Wu Mantian said with a straight face: "Hmph, although you are just a small catcher in Beiguang County, you still represent the face of the six doors, do you know that there must be evidence to speak." ”
Zhang Jie also let go at this time: "I hope the seniors will forgive me, there is no conclusive evidence in the urgency of the matter, please allow the seniors to search your mansion in the next place, if that person is really not in the mansion, I am willing to let the seniors deal with it." ”
Wu Mantian stared at Zhang Jie without speaking, Zhang Jie also looked at Wu Mantian without compromise, so the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Wu Mantian smiled and said: "Okay, it is also our obligation to cooperate with the government to do things, and I will let you search it today." ”
Zhang Jie, who waited for the answer, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and said, "Offended." Then lead the hunt to search.
Of course, these arresters also know how to measure, and they will not smash and break into the chaos like those people who are forced to be anxious, if this is the case, I am afraid that even as an official family, they will not be able to get out of this courtyard today.
Wu Mantian watched expressionlessly as Zhang Jie took a few arresters to the backyard, which was where Gu Qing was held.
When Zhang Jie walked into the backyard, this courtyard was very small, and at a glance he could see the cell where Gu Qing was held surrounded by wooden pillars, but now it was empty, but Gu Qing was transferred by Alenta at some point.
But this short time was not enough for Alenta to deal with the scene, so when Zhang Jie saw the cell, although there was no one, there was still a trace of happiness and a trace of heaviness in his heart.
Fortunately, this time I should have found the right place, although I didn't see anyone, but I finally had this obvious clue. And the heavy thing is that it was finally determined that it was the Sword Alliance who kidnapped those people outside.
The Sword Alliance, this is a very large sect of the rivers and lakes, the one knife and two swords that circulate in the rivers and lakes drive the divine whip, and the three and five sects of the Buddha laugh at the sky, and one of the knives refers to the Sword Alliance.
At this time, Wu Mantian also walked into this small courtyard, and Zhang Jie pointed to the cell and asked, "Dare to ask Elder Wu, who is in this detention center?" ”
Wu Mantian said: "This is a scandal in my sect, and it is not enough for outsiders. ”
Zhang Jie specified that he could not pay for such perfunctory words, and said: "Elder Wu, now that the people of the whole city are in your hands, I hope the elder will think twice." ”
