The county soldiers and the city defense battalion in Beiyan are completely two systems. The former is a militia organization organized by spontaneous training in the county, which can be used to catch some thieves or patrol law and order, but can only be regarded as some strong men with a little training, and if a war breaks out, they can participate in the auxiliary military personnel in the city. It is the power in the hands of the county lieutenant in the county seat.

The city defense battalion is under the jurisdiction of the military, unless there is an evil incident or a war, it is easy not to be dispatched, and they usually have to participate in training many times.

However, there was a figure like the black spider, and the city defense army also sent several squads of men to help, and it was temporarily under the command of the county lieutenant in the county.

"Next, please ask Master Duan to take us to the scene of the crime and the victims' homes to see if there are any other clues." The traces on these corpses can only be known to be poison masters, and more strong evidence is needed to facilitate the tracking of the murderer's traces.

。。。

After leaving the home of the last victim, Chen Zheng and his party all looked more serious, because there was no very obvious evidence left at these scenes. The few people who broke into the house and killed people were all injured by hidden weapons, without too much struggle, the black spider's technique was very clever, and it hit with one blow, and then left a provocative black spider pattern and turned around and slipped away.

And when destroying people's innocence, it was more clean and neat, and it was directly used to get hooked, and the woman who had the accident just felt that she was suddenly hazy and didn't know what was going on, and then fell asleep, and when she woke up, she found that her clothes had been broken, and her body had been touched, but there was no memory in her mind, and the door and window did not leave obvious footprints, and the maid or the family who was guarding also fell into a deep sleep, and no one found the figure of the black spider.

It can be seen that this person must be a veteran, and the previous Li Xiaoqi and Zheng Sanjin used a relatively earthy method, that is, to cast a wide net. Because of the current situation in the county, a curfew has been enforced, so at night there are no ordinary people or wealthy businessmen outside except for the public. And he also squatted in the places of those big families, and finally found the traces of the black spider, but failed to capture it.

"I don't know if Chen Zongqi has any way? This black spider ear exists in the people of the city, and the people are panicking, and there has been a phenomenon of some people moving with their families. Duan Ziping's face was worried.

Chen Zheng sighed, "There is no useful way, this black spider seems to be a habitual offender, so we can only follow the previous strategy of casting a wide net, but this time we have three embroidered clothes and guards in the light of luck, and there should be no problem with three to one, not to mention that this heroine next to me has already stepped into the Zhou Tian realm with half a foot, as long as the black spider shows its body, the probability of escaping from the palm of our hand is very low." ”

Duan Ziping was a little disappointed in his heart, but he knew that there was no way to do it, but he still arranged it quickly, and everyone in the county began to dispatch, cooperating with the embroidered guards and the city defense army to squat to catch the black spider tonight.

But this depends on luck, I don't know if this black spider will have the courage to come out and commit another crime after being targeted several times.

At night, the county soldiers in the county town and the city defense army began to patrol around, and once they found the traces of suspicious people, they sent out signals as soon as possible.

The errand work below naturally doesn't need Chen Zheng and them to take action. So Chen Zheng took Yelu Maitreya and Tan Daoji and others to sit peacefully in the largest restaurant in Dahuang County for a drink, and by the way, recuperate and prepare for the battle that may occur tonight.

Although it had been dark for a long time, Chen Zheng and the others were also sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, not panicking at all, and soon heard the sound of trumpets and arrows outside, accompanied by a burst of gongs and drums, and even heard the shouts of the county soldiers faintly: "Catch the thief, that's the black spider!"

Chen Zheng and the others hurriedly went out and found that a lot of torches had been lit up in the county at this time, and there were obviously many people gathered in the southeast corner of the county, and more torches were coming towards the southeast corner in the distance.

"Let's go." Chen Zheng waved his hand, and the embroidered guards rushed to the southeast corner of the county with strong bows.

At this time, in the southeast corner of the county, under the light of the fire, you can clearly see a vigorous figure shuttling back and forth on the beams of the house, and also wearing night clothes, the body is extremely fast, between the bricks and tiles, the kung fu under the feet does not stop at all, such as walking on the ground, no matter how martial arts, this light skill is indeed unusual.

But no matter how you look at it, the man in black at this time is a little embarrassed, and his figure moves back and forth as if he is hiding something.

This is naturally the threat of the strongbow in the city defense camp. For the black spider, Chen Zheng and others are not without arrangements. Because I know that the black spider is good at using hidden weapons to drink poison, so I must keep my distance as much as possible, and the best attack method at a distance is a hard bow and a strong crossbow, within a hundred steps, the threat to the warrior is very great, not to mention that the black spider is obviously walking the path of the body flow, more than agile and insufficient defense, and the bow and arrow can completely threaten him at close range. It's a pity that the strong crossbow is the standard configuration in the army, and there is no one in the city defense camp, otherwise with the penetration of the strong crossbow, the black spider is definitely not a little bruised now.

These archers are the elite of the city defense battalion that Duan Ziping and the city defense battalion begged for. On weekdays, there are almost no arrows within a hundred steps, and the archers who can shoot with night vision are specially found, and they are the treasures of the city defense battalion.

As soon as they fought, they brought a certain threat to the black spider, and in order to protect these baby bumps, Chen Zheng also put forward a good suggestion, the black spider is definitely not an opponent when fighting alone, but after forming a military formation, even the black spider will not rush hard, after all, he is not a martial artist who refines the body, he has nothing to rush into the crowd to release Wushuang, once this kind of agile person is pulled into the crowd, no matter how powerful he is, he can only be grinded to death in the end.

So each patrol team is a team of twenty or thirty people, except for the baby pimple archers, the rest of the people are almost every hand a shield, but the quality of this shield is uneven, some are rattan shields. Some are leather shields. In Chen Zheng's opinion, some are just wooden boards, but they can also defend against possible hidden weapons in their hands, and as for some of the more critical places, they are tied with some cloth as much as possible to reduce the penetration of hidden weapons, hoping to reduce the casualties of the manpower below.

When Chen Zheng and a few people arrived, they found that the black spider was about to be forced into a corner, and a lot of poisonous gas was sprinkled along the way, forcing the people below to dare not approach, so they could only harass him from a distance with bows and arrows, preventing him from leaving his sight.

And Chen Zheng's luck realm people rushed over, which made the black spider feel that the situation was a little bad, especially one of the women had a strong aura, and he estimated that he would not kill the opponent, and he still had thirty-six plans to go up.

I saw that the black spider took out a pair of sharp hooks while dodging the arrow feathers, and stuck them directly into the masonry of the city wall, and began to climb up like a gecko.

"Oh no, this guy is going to run!" Chen Zheng and several others also hurriedly drew their bows and shot, and the arrow feathers shot by the Luck Realm martial artists were even more threatening, not to mention that Chen Zheng had practiced a hundred steps to pierce Yang, and he could clearly capture the figure of the black spider even in the dark night.

Whoosh, swish, five arrows shot out quickly, and even the black spider's dexterity was shot with two arrows. But it wasn't a critical position, one shot in the shoulder, and the other in the ass.

But the black spider was also very strong, just snorted, endured the pain on his shoulder and climbed to the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall couldn't stop the black spider at all, and finally escaped by him.

Duan Ziping also came in a hurry, originally thought that he could succeed at one time, but he didn't expect that the black spider still had the ability to climb the city wall, and there were some omissions, this time he ran away and didn't know how to catch it next time, it was really a headache.

Chen Zheng saw the disappointment on Duan Ziping's face, and knew that he was concerned about the chaos, the black spider was uneven for a day, and this Dahuang County would be unstable for a day, if the situation was more serious, the black gauze hats of the officials up and down in Dahuang County would not be guaranteed, and that person who was concerned about his future and career could be so calm?

Chen Zheng deliberately pointed out the way out: "Master Duan is worry-free, now you can send soldiers to take back the arrow feathers, some of those arrow feathers have been contaminated with the blood of the black spider, and there is also his smell on them, if the black is not suitable for going out of the city to pursue today, it is very likely to be ambushed, but from tomorrow we can use the wolf dog to remember the smell of the black spider, and then the whole process will be searched, compared to even if he is proficient in disguise, he can't still cover up the smell and blood on his body."

Duan Ziping's eyes lit up: "Mr. Chen is right, I almost forgot that there is such an operation, I will send someone to do it immediately."

With Duan Ziping leaving, Chen Zheng had a smile in his eyes, in fact, Chen Zheng didn't tell the truth before, if he went out of the city to pursue now, he would be able to find the location of the black spider in minutes, the reason is that the previous five arrows were mixed with the murderous aura of the sword demon he condensed, of course, the number was not large, about as much as a strand of hair, when he shot the black spider, this sword demon murderous aura quietly lurked in the body of the black spider, but fortunately, the black spider was in a hurry to escape at that time, and he did not observe, Now that the two traces of sword demon murderous aura have sneaked in, it is very easy to catch him, Chen Zheng did not do it, because he felt that there might be someone else behind this black spider, and it was the most suitable for fishing, and the reason behind why he was obsessed with Dahuang County Chen Zheng also wanted to figure it out.

Zhangjiazhuang outside the county seat.

Although it is still dark at night, this Zhangjiazhuang is still brightly lit, and the inside is not the imaginary pleasure, but the form and structure of this manor is different, from the outside it looks like there is a three-zhang high wooden wall, with very strong logs, only a little worse than the brick and stone city wall. And around the manor, there is even a canal, which acts as a moat, and there are gates and suspension bridges on it, and there are several small towers standing in the forest, and there are figures shaking on them, obviously on night patrol, each of the family members who come and go is muscular and full of blood, at first glance, it is a long-trained family, it must be an elite who has been trained for a long time, maybe he has seen blood. It's not like a manor, it's more like a small cottage.

This is the most famous Zhangjiazhuang in Dahuang County. Although it has only been 20 years, the current family of the Zhang family has developed from a poor and white family to a first-class family in Dahuang County today, and it is a proper upstart.

This is all thanks to Zhang Ji's talent, his people have very good business skills, the caravan of the Zhang family has traveled to and from Jianzhou in northern Xinjiang many times, and even went to Yanjing, and there is also a very good way, the Zhang family and some small tribes near the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang have a deep friendship, every year you can trade some excellent horses with grain, and when they change hands to Yanjing, the value has increased I don't know how many times.

So the Zhang family's business is getting bigger and bigger, at the beginning it still needs to hire casual repairs or even dart games to help run the business, but in the back, the Zhang family's money bag is full, and the Zhang family begins to slowly set up their own escort team, and under the heavy money, there will be warriors.

Soon, under the temptation of money, Zhang Ji gathered a group of loose cultivators, and slowly equipped them with blades, leather armor, and various rewards, the treatment was very good, the treatment was high, and the people below were naturally honored to die for the Zhang family.

In this way, the strength of the Zhang family is getting bigger and bigger, and the wealth is also increasing, but I don't know why the Zhang family did not choose to live in the county, but instead bought a lot of fertile land outside the county, built a manor, and became a landlord while doing business.

The Zhang family's astonishing wealth finally made other people's eyes red, naturally someone wanted to pick peaches and raid the Zhang family's manor in the middle of the night, or thanks to the Zhang family's fierce resistance, they barely kept it, but most of the manor was destroyed because of this, and there were a lot of losses in money and personnel.

However, the results of the coveted people were not very good, and they were wiped out by Zhang Ji.

Since then, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening, the Zhang family has re-established a manor similar to a small cottage, and has also used silver money to dot up and down, and everyone in the county knows the price increase, plus the benefits of the main hall, so the county officials and others also turn a blind eye to the Zhang family and let the existence of this small cottage exist. It's a twenty-year-old man, and there shouldn't be any problem.

As everyone knows, it is because of their attitude of turning a blind eye that the Zhang family has done a lot of unknown things under their noses.

By this time, the night was already deep, and only the torches that were still burning could bring a little light. Soon, the Zhang family Zhuangding on the tower found a figure in the distance, approaching Zhuangzi.
