Old Master Biao pounced out, only to see that Xia Zitang did not have the expected arrow. On the contrary, there was nothing, and the sword was already unsheathed, not retreating, but advancing, waving the knife to meet it.

It wasn't the first day he robbed the house, but when he used a knife and a gun, at a glance when he saw the angle and momentum of Xia Zitang's swing, he understood the gap between them and Xia Zitang.

He and the two minions beside him, as if they were specially sent to Xia Zitang's blade, didn't even have a chance to change their castration, so they rushed forward.

And the two masters he relied on had no follow-up support.

Xia Zitang's knife swung from left to right at a tricky angle.

The person on the left of Boss Biao received the most fierce force, and the Pu knife in his hand fell to the ground in response, but the person was castrated and fell straight forward.

Because this person has unloaded some strength, Boss Biao is a little better here, and he can block Xia Zitang's knife and get the opportunity to take a step back.

This step back made him see the situation clearly, and only Xia Zitang made a move at the front of the Xia family, but he was extremely brave.

The strange thing is that behind them, it is actually difficult to fight. It was not only Xia Zitang's entourage who blocked the bandits, but there were also female dependents interspersed, and shouting and muffled snorting continued to come out of the battle group.

Before Boss Biao could retract his gaze as he flew over the battle circle, he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air again, and as the sharp sword shot at the people on their side, seven or eight others followed suit.

Boss Biao's pupils shrank sharply, and his first thought flew and was accurate, "It's in an ambush, retreat, hurry, hurry!" ”

While beckoning to his subordinates, he turned around and ran out sideways, intending to leave the bluestone steps and run towards the mountain, "Hurry up, hurry, go to the mountain." ”

However, he and the two minions were greeted by two enemies, each swinging his sword.

At this point, there have been ten people before and after, who have copied their back roads and joined the battle group.

Boss Biao didn't know that the general trend had gone, so he took a few accomplices and killed desperately.

Fortunately, some of the people who ambushed them were divided to protect the Xia family, and a few of them were entangled with more than a dozen bandits. Boss Biao and the other five had a chance to escape into the mountains from three different directions.

…………

Mrs. Jiang, Gao's and Xia Yanqing inexplicably changed the maid's clothes, carried the food box, and went to the guest room where Shao's mother was.

After that, he changed the maid's clothes, put on his own, and had lunch with Shao's mother unhappily, and began to wait restlessly.

Xia Zitang briefly explained to them, saying that it was a suspicious person, and he took someone to explore the way first.

Xia Zitang said it easily, but Mrs. Jiang and the others even changed their clothes and hid them here in Shao Yi, obviously things are not simple, where can the mothers put their minds at ease?

Looking at the clock leak in the room, the fine sand was sluggish as if it had condensed, and time passed unusually slowly, and Mrs. Jiang became more and more anxious.

I don't know how long it took for there to be movement outside the guest room.

Shao Yi was guarding outside, and Zhirui didn't open his mouth when he entered the door, but he knew from the look on his face that there was indeed something happening on the mountain road, but the matter was under their control.

Thinking that Mrs. Jiang was worried now, she waved her hand to stop Zhirui and took the person inside.

Shao Yi first bowed to Mrs. Jiang and Shao's mother, and instructed Zhirui: "Tell me, what's the situation?" ”

Zhirui bowed to several female relatives in the house, and then reported to Shao Yi: "Master, Captain Xia and his party walked to the mountainside and were ambushed by the twenty-three people who gathered......

Zhirui felt that he had deliberately relaxed his tone, but when he said the word ambush, he was immediately interrupted by an exclamation.

Mrs. Jiang tightly held Xia Yanqing's hand beside her, stared at Zhirui nervously, and asked hurriedly, "What happened to Ah Tang and the others?" "The voice trembled very much.

The exclamation just now was also from Gao's. Gao sat in a chair, his hands propped on the armrests, his face pale. Looking like that, I couldn't stand up.

Xia Yanqing patted Mrs. Jiang's arm to soothe her emotions. But he was not in a hurry, since Shao Yi could bring people in to report, he must be fine.

Zhirui hurriedly picked up the important ones and said: "Among Captain Xia's party, only Yi Feng and a family member were slightly injured, and the rest were only a little frightened, so there was no big problem. Our people were injured by three, and they were also slightly injured. ”

It's okay, it's really okay. Mrs. Jiang let out a long sigh, then she lowered her body and sat back on the kang.

Fortunately, not only did they save their lives, but they were all minor injuries.

It was a difficult hike up and down the mountain trail, let alone being ambushed, and the result was a great blessing in misfortune.

After Mrs. Jiang and Xia Yanqing had finished saying what they needed to know, Shao Yi waved his hand at Zhirui: "Go and wait." Then he said to Mrs. Jiang, "The little nephew has other things to take care of, so I will retire first." ”

Mrs. Jiang responded in a loud voice: "Cheng An is going to be busy with you." Ah Tang, thanks to Cheng'an, they can be safe and sound, but we can't delay you from doing serious things because of us. ”

Shao Yi walked out of the guest room, stood seven or eight steps away from the eaves, beckoned Zhirui to approach, and asked, "How is the situation of the bandits?" ”

Zhirui replied: "There are six people who fled in three directions, and there are seventeen people left, six seriously injured, eleven lightly injured, and they have all been tied up." There were two people in the forest before, and their kung fu was good, and after getting the news from the mountain, they ambushed on both sides of the bend and prepared crossbow arrows, which seemed to be planning a sneak attack. It's just that our people appeared one step ahead of schedule, disrupting the steps, and the two of them were seriously injured by Uncle Mo's people, and they couldn't walk away, so they had already bitten the poison sac and committed suicide. ”

"Dead?" There was a sneer on the corner of Shao Yi's mouth, how could ordinary bandits raise dead soldiers?

This matter, if it is just someone trying to kidnap the daughter of the Xia family in order to seek wealth, it is a simple and vicious case, and the relevant departments of the imperial court have come forward to investigate the case.

But when it comes to the dead, I'm afraid the emperor will also be concerned.

can raise the dead, naturally there are private things that cannot be known and are serious enough to fatal extermination.

"What about the Terracotta Division? Did the message go out? Shao Yi then asked.

Zhirui: "The team didn't go back after they left the city, and the cat was waiting in a restaurant next to the official road." Just now, as soon as our people appeared, the crisis was lifted, and Captain Xia had already gone down the mountain. ”

Shao Yi nodded, Xia Zitang is really an understanding person, very smart, and can distinguish priorities.

He instructed Xiuyuan: "You lead people to guard here, remember, there is no room for loss here." ”

Xiu Yuan bowed down to receive the order. Needless to say, there are their eldest wives and the daughters of the Xia family in the house, and it is these people who want to protect, even if someone really does it, they don't even dare to die.

Shao Yi said to Zhirui: "Let's go, go and ask a few people you got to see if you can ask some words." As he spoke, he walked towards the guest room where Xia Zitang and a few people were resting.

He left behind more than a dozen people, except for four who stayed in the guest room where Shao's mother and Mrs. Jiang were. There are four left, the two who took down the pretending to be the porter and the one who stayed in the guest room, who is now guarding.

The other six people were scattered in different corners or commanding heights of the night market, observing the movements around them.

…………

An hour later, the Terracotta Division sent two teams of people to explore the bluestone steps up the mountain of Ganye Temple and enter Ganye Temple. At the same time, he also sent the seven descendants of the Xia family back to Mrs. Jiang.

The soldiers of the Terracotta Division conducted an inventory of the inside and outside of the Ganye Temple and the surrounding areas.

After confirming that there were no more suspicious persons, a team of people was sent to escort the Shao family and the Xia family back to the capital, leaving it alone for the time being.

Before, Xia Zitang didn't bother to go back to settle his mother, wife and sister, so he hurried down the mountain. The pair of soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction were summoned out, and people were sent back to deliver the message, and the rest of the people were divided into two ways to investigate the intersections of each mountain in Hushan.

After that, the Soldiers and Horses Division who got the news sent people to Huju Mountain, allocated enough people to guard the foot of Hushan Mountain, and also let people enter the mountain to patrol the mountains, trying to catch up with people or drive people out of the mountains and forests.

was busy until dark, and of the six people who slipped through the net, 5 people were caught. Another person who was watching the wind on the official road earlier probably heard that the kidnapping failed, but was captured in large numbers, so he knew the opportunity to escape.

So far, just like in the previous life, of the twenty-nine bandits who came to the capital with the intention of making a big deal, twenty-six were caught, and three escaped.

This result made Shao Yi feel that weird sense of fate again, it turned out that even if he knew and arranged it in advance, these bandits still missed the three of them like in the previous life.

These three people are not important people in the cottage, they are all from the bottom of the margins.

This reassured Shao Yi a lot, if he really got rid of the cottage leader Biao Boss they said, Shao Yi really had to weigh it more, whether to spread the people or not, no matter how much effort he put in, he had to continue to track it, and he was bound to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

The two little minions are different, maybe they will run away and live the life of ordinary poor people.

This matter had already spread to the capital before dark. Although it will not spread to the household name and let all the small people in the market know, the important courtiers and relevant departments and the surrounding areas have already known about it.

Such a vicious incident occurred in the area under the jurisdiction of the capital, which shocked people from all walks of life.

The most unknown person who does not dare to show the slightest is naturally the king of Chengjun.

King Chengjun was in his own palace, in the well-guarded study, and he didn't even dare to break a teacup. I was afraid that the fragments of the tea cup would be thrown out as garbage and seen by people with a heart, and I thought that I would forcibly think of the broken porcelain pieces and the many bandits in Ganye Temple being arrested, which was related to his becoming the king of the county.

"I didn't expect that the bandit leader brought so many people, planned for so long, and had our two dead soldiers to help, but it didn't work! Didn't leave any hand tails, did you? King Chengjun's face was gloomy, and he felt regretful in his heart.

Not only did the kidnapping fail, but he also folded into his two dead soldiers, as well as a hidden force that might come in handy at some point.

As soon as this idea came out, King Chengjun felt that this was another time he had planted a heel in the Xia family's daughter and the glass business.

In the study, Jiang Hanwen and Chai Mao were there, each sitting on the left and right of King Chengjun.

Chai Mao had no expression on his face anymore. Where is the easy cultivation of dead soldiers? Now, because of something of no value, it is really not cost-effective to fold two dead soldiers into it.

"There are no clues left, and the subordinates have asked people to inquire about the exact news. According to the information asked by the yamen of the Beijing government, the two men saw that there was no hope of escaping, so they committed suicide by taking poison. ”

King Chengjun frowned: "This summer banquet is really evil, we have made such a strict plan, she is unexpectedly unharmed." Someone wouldn't have leaked the news to her in advance, causing them to be prepared to make a move, right? ”

If this is the case, his Chengjun Mansion will be in danger. can keep an eye on the boss of the bid, can keep an eye on this matter, who knows if it is possible to book the Chengjun Palace?
