Chapter 43: Captured Alive

Zheng Bang walked up to Zhou Lili and the other three masked men, ripped off their masked cloths, used them to tie their hands, and then began to search their bodies.

In a few moments, four money bags and two daggers were found.

Zheng Bang poured out all the belongings in the money bag, stuffed them into his arms, threw the four money bags into the river, took two daggers and looked at them carefully, smelled them, and threw them into the river.

Xiao Qiongzhi was a little puzzled and asked, "Uncle, why did you throw their daggers into the river too?" That could be evidence of their murder. ”

Zheng Bang shook his head: "Although those two daggers smell of human blood, they are old human blood, and they should not use them to kill people today, but other sharp weapons." ”

"In this way, they are likely to throw all the sharp weapons that killed people today into the river." Xiao Qiongzhi was a little depressed.

Zhou Lili and these brutes are quite cunning.

The river in the upper reaches of the river is turbulent and full of mud and rocks, and it must be difficult to go down the river to find out the sharp weapon they used to kill people today.

"The clothes on their bodies don't smell of human blood, they should have wrapped the clothes stained with blood when they killed people and threw them into the river with the sharp weapons used to kill people today."

"I'll go into the water now and touch it and see if I can touch it." Zheng Bang saw Xiao Qiongzhi's thoughts, and after speaking, he took off his coat in three or two strokes, jumped into the water, and disappeared without a trace.

Xiao Qiongzhi was not accustomed to water and couldn't help, so he had to stand on the shore and wait.

After a while, Zhou Dayong ran over from Zhoujia Village.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the moon came out and hung on the distant horizon, like a magnolia petal, elegant and pure.

In the hazy moonlight, Zhou Dayong saw that Xiao Qiongzhi was the only one standing by the river.

Not far away, by the fire that was about to be extinguished, several adult men were sitting.

Without saying a word, he rushed to Xiao Qiongzhi, protected her behind him, and stared at them with a nervous expression.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very moved, and hurriedly and obediently shouted softly, "Second uncle!" After coming here with Zheng Bang, everything that happened was told to Zhou Dayong.

After hearing this, Zhou Dayong immediately began to take off his coat.

It should have been ready to jump into the river to touch the bloody clothes and murderous weapons that Zhou Lili might have thrown into the river.

At this time, more than ten meters behind, Zheng Bang's voice suddenly came: "Dayong, you don't have to go down, I have already found something!" ”

Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly turned his head to look over.

Zheng Bang, holding a bundle of wet clothes in his hand, raised it at her and Zhou Dayong, and strode over as he said loudly: "When these things were washed into a river bay below, they were stopped by a big stone. ”

"I just took a look, there are four sets of bloody clothes here, and two daggers, the daggers may have been washed, although they were tied in the clothes, and there was no blood left, but these clothes, because they were tied with ropes, there were still blood stains in them that were not washed away."

"That's great! With these things, we can prove that Zhou Lili and these brutes did kill people and handed them over to the government for punishment! Zhou Dayong immediately said excitedly.

"yes." Zheng Bang thinks so.

Xiao Qiongzhi had an idea, and thought of another point: "Uncle, since there are still blood stains on your clothes, look, do you want to find the two daggers that you threw away just now, and smear them with the blood stains on your clothes?" ”

"Yes, that's a great idea!" Zheng Bang understood what Xiao Qiongzhi meant, and after speaking, he threw the bundle of clothes in his hand to Zhou Dayong without hesitation, turned around and jumped into the river.

In a few moments, he came up from the river with the two daggers he had thrown away.

Zhou Dayong immediately took advantage of the moonlight to open the clothes that were tied, found out the bloodstains, and asked him to stain the four daggers with some bloodstains.

Xiao Qiongzhi went to set off the fire that had not yet been burned, so that he could put the blood stains on the dagger and dry it on the fire.

After all this, Xiao Qiongzhi pointed to Zhou Lili and the four of them, and discussed with Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong: "Uncle, second uncle, there are four of them, and there are only two of you, it is inconvenient for them to go back to the village, it is better for you to leave one to guard here, and the other to go back and inform the patriarch, bring a few people over, and help us!" ”

"Don't be so troublesome, we'll carry two of them and solve the problem." Zhou Dayong is full of confidence.

After speaking, he shouldered Zhou Lili on one shoulder, and on the other shoulder, he picked up a cousin of Zhou Lili and strode towards Zhoujia Village.

It's a cow.

It's only fourteen years old, and the strength is so great!

Xiao Qiongzhi was dumbfounded.

"Zhi'er, come, I'll carry you." At this time, Zheng Bang suddenly squatted in front of her and motioned for her to lie on his back.

Xiao Qiongzhi didn't want to trouble Zheng Bang, so she hurriedly refused: "Uncle, you still have to carry two people, don't carry me, I can walk back by myself." ”

Zheng Bang shook his head and hooked the corners of his lips: "I don't need to carry people, Zhi'er, you listen to me, that's right!" ”

"Okay then." Xiao Qiongzhi didn't look like he was joking, so she had to rely on him.

After Zheng Bang picked up Xiao Qiongzhi, he really didn't carry the remaining two people.

He untied the acupuncture points of one of the people and the cloth that tied his hands, and asked the other party to carry the other - that is, the guy who was killed by him with something before, or knocked unconscious, and went back to Zhoujia Village with him.

This method is far easier than Zhou Dayong directly carrying two people.

Xiao Qiongzhi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, why didn't you tell my second uncle about this method just now?" ”

"After all, I am older than him, but he just did what he said, and he didn't ask my opinion at all, which shows that he has made up his mind in his heart, and I naturally have to respect his decision." Zheng Bang's tone was helpless.

However, Xiao Qiongzhi heard the dissatisfaction in his words.

She also felt that Zhou Dayong was as his name suggested, acting like him, and sometimes, his courage was commendable, but he didn't know how to consider the feelings of others, and he was a little lacking in lessons, so he knew that Zheng Bang was quibbling and didn't expose him.

The group walked forward not far away, and Zhou Lili's cousin who carried the person on his back suddenly dropped the person on his back and ran to the side.

Xiao Qiongzhi knew that Zheng Bang was good at kung fu and was not in a hurry, but was a little curious about how Zheng Bang would clean him up.

As a result, Zheng Bang was less anxious than Xiao Qiongzhi.

It wasn't until Zhou Lili's cousin ran out six or seven meters away that Zheng Bang slowly bent down, picked up a pebble from the ground, and threw it at his back.

The next moment, the guy was thrown and fell to the ground, like a dead dog, motionless.

Zheng Bang waited patiently for a while before he snorted coldly and yelled at him: "Brute! Don't try to play dead! Hurry up and get up, carry your brother, and continue to go back to Zhoujia Village with me, otherwise, the next stone will not be thrown through your dog's belly, but through your dog's head! ”

Zhou Lili's cousin is really pretending to be dead.

He immediately jumped up from the ground like a corpse, clutched his stomach in pain, walked back to Zheng Bang's side, obediently picked up the person he threw on the ground, and walked slowly in the direction of Zhoujia Village.
