Jianghu Chapter 19: Confrontation (1)
Under the instruction of Hu Changyan, a team of disguised people sneaked into the inn where the Wang family was located, monitoring the movements of the Wang family at any time, just waiting for Hu Changyan to give an order to immediately control the Wang family, at the same time, after reporting the letter, another catcher who hurried to find the body of Hu Laoba who was tortured and killed by Hu Laoba in the alley, Hu Changyan was very angry after getting the news, and ordered to immediately block all the entrances and exits in and out of the cityγ
Huang Huai, who was disguised as Xiao Er, was a little puzzled at this time, and his instinctive sense of smell made him feel that these diners who suddenly poured into the store were not so simple, just when he was suspicious, the spies stationed in Wuli Street in the River Valley came with a message, and reported to Huang Huai the changes in the breakout of the city gates and the killing of the catcher, Huang Huai did not dare to delay after receiving the letter, and hurriedly ran upstairs and knocked on Qin Shiyi's door.
Huang Huai closed the door after entering the house, turned his head and said: "My lord, just now the brothers of the scout camp came to the news that the east and west city gates have been blocked by the government, it is said that it is because a catcher in the alley in the west was killed by bandits, and there are many individual visitors in the hall downstairs. β
Qin Shiyi was slightly surprised and said, "How many people are downstairs?"
For Qin Shiyi, not to mention that a catcher is killed quickly, even if the official mansion is slaughtered now, it has nothing to do with him, he doesn't care about the affairs of the official mansion, what he cares about is just that these people will beat Bai Tongchen and scare the snake, and ruin the major affairs of the Prison Wind Pavilion.
Huang Huai shook his head and said, "Bai Tongchen hasn't come back yet, and now he should be shopping with the little girl surnamed Xu and the young lady of the Wang family." β
Qin Shiyi lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "I don't feel very down-to-earth in my heart, let the magistrate come to me, I'm afraid that the blockade of the city gate and the group of people downstairs will be related to Bai Tongchen, if this guy kills here, I don't know how many people will die." β
Before Huang Huai could agree, he heard a noisy footstep outside the door, and then he heard an exclamation, Huang Huai and Qin Shiyi secretly said that it was not good, and they were just about to get up, but they saw that the door of the room was kicked open, and several strong men swarmed in, and the leader of a big man shouted: "Don't move!"
Huang Huai took a step forward and said, "Who are you!"
The leading big Han Li ignored Huang Huai, because of the suddenness of the incident, the mutual market supervisor didn't know the bottom of the inn at all, and he didn't know what the Wang family was in those rooms, weighing it In line with the principle of preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than letting go of one, Hu Changyan ordered to directly control the entire inn first, so these people from the mutual market supervisor and the yamen don't care what you say now, just take it down first!
I saw that the leading big man made a look, and several strong men behind him were not polite, and immediately surrounded Huang Huai and Qin Shiyi.
Huang Huai turned sideways to block Qin Shiyi behind him, following Qin Shiyi who had not experienced anything from birth to death over the years, let alone these few people, but such a contemptuous attitude made Huang Huai feel very uncomfortable, except for Qin Shiyi, no one could scoff at his doubts and ignore them.
Several strong men have besieged it, only to see Huang Huai's left arm horizontally block the fist of one of the strong men, his right hand clenched his fist to the waist, and the arm was driven by the fist peak to suddenly exert force, and a straight punch hit the chest of the oncoming big man, only to hear a muffled sound, the big man in front of him raised his head and flew backwards, and fell to the ground with a bang.
One person was directly put to the ground in front of him, and this sudden change made several other big men stunned in place, they didn't know what kind of opponent they were facing.
"Okay Xiaohuai, it's just some errands. Qin Shiyi patted Huang Huai's shoulder and said softly.
Huang Huai immediately closed his expression when he heard the sound and stepped aside.
Several big men didn't know what to do for a while, and the two men in front of them, who looked very young, only made a group of people feel unfathomable.
The exclamations outside the door gradually subsided, thinking that the people in each room had been controlled, Qin Shiyi was very unhappy now, he glanced at the few people in front of him, the corners of his mouth curved an arc and said, "Can any of you tell me what's going on outside?"
The leading big man had lost his breath after convulsing on the ground, and the remaining few people looked at each other and were silent for a long time, one of the big men took a deep breath, took a step forward and said: "We are all arresters of the government! You murder the government personnel, it is a capital crime!"
Qin Shiyi's worst fear still happened, and he blurted out: "Idiot!" and then made a color at Huang Huai, Huang Huai instantly understood what Qin Shiyi meant, nodded and rushed straight out of the inn.
The group of people in front of him were all officials of the government, Qin Shiyi was a little puzzled, Bai Tongchen's whereabouts in the past few days were all under his control, could it be that it was this Wang family? Qin Shiyi pieced together the clues in his mind and came to a conclusion, nine times out of ten, it was this Wang family who offended the government, causing Bai Tongchen to be dragged into it, so he hurriedly instructed Huang Huai to call the magistrate, and while Bai Tongchen had not come back, he must deal with all these things, otherwise, the situation will become more and more difficult.
There was no problem with Qin Shiyi's speculation and reaction, but what he would never have imagined was that because Hu Changyan had already met Bai Tongchen and Wang Duyao on the street just now, at this time, Hu Changyan had already assigned elite officers and soldiers to capture Bai Tongchen and the other three, and the speed of the whole thing was far beyond Qin Shiyi's imagination.
When Bai Tongchen and Wang Duyao were shopping leisurely behind Xu Xiaowan's buttocks, Bai Tongchen first noticed that many officers and soldiers suddenly appeared on the lively street, and he didn't pay attention to it at first, but then he felt more and more that these officers and soldiers were gradually surrounding the three of them.
Bai Tongchen lowered his head and whispered, "Miss Wang, have you noticed that there are suddenly many more officers and soldiers around, and they are gradually moving closer to our side?"
Wang Duyao looked around and found that the three of them were indeed faintly surrounded by officers and soldiers, and said with a puzzled expression: "I also found out, but it shouldn't be coming for us, right?"
When Bai Tongchen found that this group of officers and soldiers was surrounding him, his first reaction was to think of the Prison Wind Pavilion, and nine times out of ten, this group of people came for him.
In confusion, Bai Tongchen pulled Xu Xiaowan and said to Wang Duyao: "Miss Wang, these people should be coming for me, don't be involved, you and Xiaowan stay where they are, I'll lure them away" He said, handing Xu Xiaowan's hand to Wang Duyao.
Wang Duyao couldn't react for a while, and asked, "Master Gao, why are these officers and soldiers coming at you?"
Bai Tongchen just shook his head, observed the movements of the officers and soldiers around, and slowly walked towards the place where Wang Duyao and Xu Xiaowan were.
Xu Xiaowan's confidence in Bai Tongchen was not ordinarily sufficient, and she didn't look worried at all, and waved her small fist at Bai Tongchen, indicating that she would let Bai Tongchen beat them hard.
But Bai Tongchen didn't take two steps before he felt that something was wrong, these officers and soldiers did not list themselves as the targets of the roundup, but continued to shrink the circle to surround Wang Duyao and Xu Xiaowan in the center of the circle.
Bai Tongchen really couldn't figure it out at this time, and Wang Duyao also found clues about the movements of the officers and soldiers, and he was even more confused.
Bai Tongchen had no choice but to slowly retreat to Xu Xiaowan and Wang Duyao's side, and said, "Miss Wang, these officers and soldiers ...... It doesn't seem to be rushing down. β
Wang Duyao was still wondering, "Did they mistake us for someone?"
Bai Tongchen shook his head and said, "I don't know." β
When the two of them were still puzzled, the officers and soldiers over there had already surrounded Bai Tongchen and the three of them, Bai Tongchen looked at it, there were more than 50 people, and the street at this time had been cleared by the officials outside the government, and the atmosphere became extremely quiet and weird for a while.
From the surrounding officers and soldiers, a catcher with a short knife walked out, glanced at Bai Tongchen and the three of them one by one, and was slightly surprised after seeing Wang Duyao in red, and said after calming down a little: "You three, who is Wang Duyao?"
Only then did the three of them know that these officers and soldiers did not mistake them for anyone, but were indeed coming for Wang Duyao!
Although Wang Duyao was puzzled, she knew that she hadn't done anything illegal and undisciplined, so she stepped forward and said, "Little Queen Duyao, I've seen this Lord Catcher." β
Although he was very reluctant to see the delicate girl in front of him was the criminal who was going to be arrested on this trip, but the fact was that he was under the pressure of the Prison Wind Pavilion, this delicate girl was the person who the Prison Wind Pavilion wanted, and he didn't dare to be negligent, his eyes were bright, he raised his hand and shouted: "Capture the criminal Wang Duyao on the spot!"
Wang Duyao was stunned for a moment, when did she become a criminal?
These catchers couldn't listen to it at all at this time, if they messed up the matter of the Prison Wind Pavilion, the consequences would not be solved by a beautiful pear blossom with a rainy shout!
More than 50 catchers rushed forward almost at the same time, Bai Tongchen couldn't hold back at this time, and no matter what, he couldn't let Wang Duyao be arrested by the government like this! As soon as he stepped his right foot, he reached out and stopped Wang Duyao and Xu Xiaowan behind him, reached out and grabbed the hilt of Xinglu's sword, and Xinglu's sword blade was instantly unsheathed!
Bai Tongchen's eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, and a cold chill burst out after the body of the sword was unsheathed, and a gust of autumn wind blew from the end of the street for no reason, Bai Tongchen slowly spoke: "There is no reason, no one is allowed to touch her today!"
