Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Archway
readx;? The secret marksman and Liu Hanchao's sudden killing, coupled with Feng Ruochen's response, Yang Jing finally withdrew from the vegetable garden of Peng's Mansion safely, but now the entire Pengfu is a sensation, and a huge number of nursing teams have poured out, surrounding Peng's Mansion!
Yang Jing's left calf was pierced, and now the situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to pull out the crossbow arrow, so he had to cut off the exposed arrow shafts at both ends and wrap them up temporarily, so the bleeding was not very serious, but the wound on his right shoulder was dragged horizontally by the killer pretending to be an assassin of the Imperial City Division, injuring the upper sternum, although it did not hurt the lungs, but it bled a lot.

Yang Jing's face was extremely pale, and the whole person became weak, and Liu Hanchao, who was just supporting Yang Jing, had to carry Yang Jing on his back.
"Why did Brother Han Chao appear here?" Yang Jing was not a familiar person, but in order to keep himself awake, he didn't dare to calm down.
Liu Hanchao is already a veteran of the six doors, knowing that Yang Jing's injury is not optimistic, and his opinion of Yang Jing has changed, he was originally silent, so he also spoke.
Earlier, Yang Zhixian received a report from Peng's mansion, saying that there was a murder in the mansion, and the murderer was still absconding, so Yang Zhixian led most of the county officials to dispatch, Song Tixing was worried that this was a trap, so he asked me and Li Zhun to come over. ”
Liu Hanchao and others are all old subordinates who have followed Song Ci for more than ten years, after Song Ci Zhishi, they have already become the mainstay of the six doors, not to mention the famous, they are also famous, but Song Ci asked them to obey Yang Jing's scheduling, and Liu Hanchao was somewhat unconvinced.
But Liu Hanchao saw Yang Jing fighting to the death with the enemy, and he could see that Yang Jing was a tenacious and resolute person, and his impression of Yang Jing changed a lot.
Yang Jing heard Liu Hanchao's answer, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, if he left late, Yang Zhixian would take the public to surround the small courtyard of the farmhouse, even if Yang Zhixian believed that he was innocent, but he became an intruder on the private house, and there was the naked body of Yan Lichun's personal maid ring lying on the bed, and dozens of people from the county government and Peng Mansion witnessed it on the spot, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
After they came out of the vegetable garden, they really saw the county government led by Yang Zhixian, and searched everywhere in a chaotic manner, the entire Peng Mansion was in a hurry, and the retreat route he and Feng Ruochen had planned earlier was all blocked!
Thanks to Liu Hanchao, who was killed halfway, he figured out the route early and successfully avoided the blockade with Yang Jing, Yang Jing was worried that Su Xiuji's people would wait for the rabbit in the county government and the Song Mansion, and he didn't dare to go back, so he asked Liu Hanchao to take him to hide in the city temporarily.
Liu Hanchao and Feng Ruochen both started from the bottom of the hunt, they are very familiar with the routines and psychology of the search and arrest, and they are good at hiding in the market, so they want to take Yang Jing to the secret stronghold.
However, Yang Jing objected, believing that the most dangerous place was the safest place, and wanted to stay and continue to monitor the movements of the Peng Mansion.
They followed Yang Jing's intentions and brought him to the front door, Yang Jing looked at the archways in front of Peng's mansion, and said to Feng Ruochen: "Sister Feng, you are so good, can you climb the archway?"
Peng's family is a hundred-year-old family, the historical origin can be traced back to the Taizong Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty, the archway in front of the mansion is stacked one by one, there is a plaque archway given by Emperor Renzong, there are more than a dozen Jinshi archways, and even chaste archways, these archways will lead to the road of the mansion gate, arch guard into a huge porch, from the archway to the gate of Peng's mansion, it is like taking a pilgrimage road, let people really feel the glory and glory of this big family, very deterrent effect!
Especially the archway given by Emperor Renzong, that is a royal gift, even the thieves and thieves dare not climb up to hide, and there are many guards of the Peng Mansion under the archway, and the idle people can only look at it from afar.
The door of Peng's mansion is rarely opened, and it is Song Ci, not because of his previous official position, but because of his high reputation among the people, so he won the "honor" of entering through the gate.
Feng Ruochen and Liu Hanchao heard that Yang Jing was going to hide on the archway, and they couldn't help but admire his courage, and even more admired his grasp of people's hearts.
At this time, some of the guards guarding the archway had already joined the ranks of the assassins, and there were not too many people under the archway, so there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Feng Ruochen was full of confidence in his light skills, and he did not hesitate at the moment, took a few steps back, stepped forward, stepped on the big pillar of the archway, and then stabbed the short knife in his hand to the big pillar, and with a little bit of strength, he climbed the archway in the blink of an eye!
The archway is not a pavilion in the air, and the place where it can hide is only the platform behind the plaque, and the length and width of the platform are different according to the size of the archway.
The archway chosen by Yang Jing is in very new condition, the platform is nine feet long and two feet wide, and Yang Jing has no problem lying on it.
The building in Peng's mansion maintains low-key luxury, the outside looks like an inconspicuous landscape manor, but there is a hole inside, and the archway is the building of the Peng family's glory, but it is the highest of all the buildings, hiding on the archway, the situation of the whole Peng Mansion is in full view, and even the people who are shuttling through it and shouting to search for it can be seen clearly, as if watching rats crashing around in the maze lattice.
Because he was worried that the target was too big and the space on the platform was limited, after Feng Ruochen pulled Yang Jing up, Liu Hanchao hid on the archway in front.
In order to facilitate the lurking, Feng Ruochen and Yang Jing did not bring too much medicine, Feng Ruochen only brought emergency Jinchuang medicine, and now he had to temporarily save the emergency, tear the clothes on Yang Jing's shoulder, pour the whole bottle of medicine powder into the wound, and cut the cloth to tie it tightly.
After dealing with the injury, Yang Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Feng Ruochen, who opened it and saw that it was a big rivet.
"Sister Feng, your legs and feet are sharp, can you go in and take a look, this rivet belongs to that building?"
In ancient times, iron nails were not used, and most of the rivets and wedges were used for construction, and such large rivets should be used on relatively tall buildings, and the buildings of Pengfu were generally low, so the goals were not many.
Yang Jing also believes that with the ability of wind and dust, he can definitely avoid those search and arrest personnel, and his own mobility is inconvenient, so this task has to be handed over to professionals.
Feng Ruochen put the rivet in the palm of his hand, nodded and was about to go down, but at this time a figure flew up from under the archway, although it was not as elegant as Feng Ruochen, but it was also swift and agile!
"No need to go, this thing is here!"
Yang Jing suddenly became alert, but when he saw Feng Ruochen's relaxed expression, he was relieved, and when he looked at it, the man in black turned out to be Li Zhun with a bow and arrow!
Li Zhun's figure is not tall, he looks a little obscene, the big bow behind him is extremely eye-catching, almost the same as his height, and the big bow is not an ordinary hard bow style, it is actually a rare crossbow!
Yang Jing has a lot of interest in bows and arrows, because in ancient times when there were no guns, the long-range attack of bows and arrows had an advantage, and if the archery skills were good, there was no need for hand-to-hand combat like tonight.
Although he is good at hand-to-hand combat and sanda, Yang Jing is not accustomed to white blades such as swords, and he is also thinking in his heart, when the time is right, he really wants to practice archery.
Li Zhun felt Yang Jing's gaze, and he also looked very proud, and boasted to Yang Jing: "Have you heard of the Divine Arm Bow?
"Divine Arm Bow ?!!!" Yang Jing has naturally heard of the Divine Arm Bow, the Divine Arm Bow is a major innovation in the armament of the Song Dynasty, although it is called a bow, but it is actually a crossbow, the range is extremely long, the power is great, the manufacturing process is complicated, even if you get the drawings can not be copied, and Kong Ming's Zhuge crossbow in general, only exists in legends, and later generations have not seen the real thing, it is said that the Qing Dynasty minister Ji Xiaolan once got the drawings of the Divine Arm Bow, and gathered a large number of craftsmen, but after all, it could not be copied.
Yang Jing has also heard that the firing range of the Divine Arm Bow can reach 500 steps, while the effective shooting range of the domestic police pistol is only 50 meters.
Thinking about it like this, Yang Jing became even more sure that the sharpshooter who saved his life in the vegetable garden should be Li Zhun!
Unexpectedly, Li Zhun, the little leader who was called "Li Blind" by Feng Ruochen and others, turned out to be really a marksman!
Being able to make bows and crossbows is also an ancestral skill, which shows that Li Zhun is from a family of craftsmen, and it is not surprising that he can know where rivets are used.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing temporarily suppressed his interest in the Divine Bow, and asked Li Zhun: "Brother Li Zhun, you just said that this rivet belongs to these archways?"
Li Zhun smiled and said: "Yes, the entire Peng Mansion can use such a big rivet, in addition to the gate, there are only these archways, but the gate is made of copper rivets, and the wooden rivets can only be here!"
Yang Jing was also overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to let Feng Ruochen compare it to see which archway this rivet belonged to, but at this time Li Zhun said in a deep voice.
"Someone's coming!"
Yang Jing immediately woke up, poked out half of his head from the side of the plaque, and looked at the stone road in front of the door, and couldn't help but be surprised!
But seeing a team of people fighting with open fire, like a fire snake in the night, and the torches like the stars in the night, there were dozens of people in a cursory sweep!
The guards near the archway hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, but after a while, they were allowed to go, Yang Jing fixed his eyes and saw that in front of the team was a knight to open the way, and then there was a green nun official sedan chair!
When these people passed through the archway, the smoke from the torches made Yang Jing hot, and Yang Jing and the others did not dare to come forward for fear of exposing their traces.
The official sedan chair and the team finally stopped in front of the Yimen of Peng's Mansion, and Mrs. Peng greeted him from the side door after a while, and there were Yan Lichun and others by his side, as well as a cadre of Peng's Mansion!
Because the torches were very bright, Yang Jing also saw Yang Zhixian and the tolerance he brought, although he couldn't see Yang Zhixian's face clearly, but he saw that they were standing relatively backward.
The official sedan chair was gently pressed down, the curtain was lifted, and a person in official uniform walked out, wasn't it Huang Zhengmin, the prefect of Gangneung Mansion!
He was wearing an official uniform, and with a lot of tolerance and fast catching, he was obviously here to meddle in this matter!
As soon as Huang Zhengmin appeared, Mrs. Peng and others also stepped forward to salute, but Huang Zhengmin saluted Yan Lichun first.
After a brief greeting, Yan Lichun waved his hand, and the Peng Mansion's guardian brought out a bloodied servant from the crowd, and then said something loudly.
Because the distance was too far, Yang Jing didn't hear what she said, but the tolerances of Yang Zhi County and Baling County were agitated, and Yang Jing had a vague guess in his heart.
At this time, Liu Hanchao, who was hiding in the archway in front of him, suddenly jumped down, landed quickly along the pillar, and then hurried to Yang Jing's box, raised his head and said to Yang Jing.
Yan Lichun said that he caught the thief, it was the servant who united with the criminal case promoter of Baling County to create a rape and murder case, saying that the maid was just a substitute for the ghost, Yang Tui, you want to rape and kill her Yan Lichun, and because of the arrest, you killed the spy of the Imperial City Division guarding the Peng Mansion, and now you are about to go to the county government to get you!"
