About all the time, bang! A loud and rapid knock on the door woke many people in the backyard of the yamen. Bao Qing was asleep with Zhanfang in her arms, and when Zhanfang heard the knock on the door, she woke up immediately, and she hurriedly pushed Bao Qing.

Bao Qing suddenly woke up and sat up, covered in a cold sweat, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhan Fang saw that Bao Qing had been overly nervous recently, and was a little distressed, and said softly: "There is a knock at the door of the yamen, I will call you when I hear it!" Maybe it's not a big deal! ”

"What? Whoever closes the door is not allowed to be kept on duty every night and not allowed to close the door? Is it okay to knock on the door at this time? Bao Qing was furious when he heard this, and hurriedly dressed.

Zhanfang also hurriedly got up and helped Bao Qing change his clothes, and as soon as Bao Qing pushed open the door, a catcher was already waiting outside covered in blood. As soon as he saw Bao Qing, he knelt down and said, "Oh no! My lord, there are thieves attacking the camp where the money catcher is headed! I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore! ”

"What? So fast? "Bao Qing actually instructed Dong Yanran to go back to Luzhou with the warrant to transfer the water army to come yesterday, originally thought that it would take two days for the Plum Blossom Gang to launch the final blow, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"How many are there, don't you have archers?" Bao Qing initially thought that the section of the riverbed in Qian Zhutou was the most difficult place to hold, and he didn't know where the bottom passage connecting his house was, so he could only know the approximate location, which undoubtedly increased the scope of the guard area, and of course the difficulty of guarding also increased accordingly. But Bao Qing always believes that the section guarded by Qian Catcher should be the last to be attacked.

Because as long as the upstream does not succeed in intercepting the flow, the water level of the downstream Nanqi River will not be able to fall, and the hidden channel under the water will not be revealed. It's just that Bao Qing can't figure it out, since the official silver was robbed, why did he hide it in this passage, why didn't he just drag it away, was the silver box too heavy or was it to wait for the wind to pass before taking it?

Of course, these are all speculations, and in three days there will be a deadline for closing the case. Now it's time to interrogate Li Jiujin, let this Li Jiujin eat and drink well in the cell, fatten people up, and have no hope of slaughtering him again. I want to see if this Li Jiujin can hold up.

"My lord, there are about four or five hundred people on the other side? Orders are forbidden, actions are unified, where is an ordinary thief, I think it's like an army! The catcher said quickly.

Bao Qing was shocked when he heard this, and the situation seemed to exceed his expectations. What to do? The Plum Blossom Gang should be a gangster, how can it be like an army. Bao Qing crossed his mind with thousands of thoughts in the blink of an eye, only to see him pacing a few steps, turning to the catcher and asking, "How long have you been fighting?" How did you get out? ”

"It's almost an hour! I finally rushed out! ”

After Bao Qing heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up and inform, let Qian Yu retreat quickly, and don't send any distress signals!" ”

The catcher was almost stunned, and when Qian Catcher took everyone there, he repeatedly told him that he must keep it, unless he died. Otherwise, one of them would have to hold on, and now the adults actually let them retreat!

"Hurry up and let me know! Do you want to wait for them to die? There are only 100 people in total, do you spell it out! ”

"Oh!" The catcher got up and ran as fast as he could.

"Zhanfang, you let Bao Liuwen come over! Inform the entire yamen to take turns sleeping! These three are crucial! Bao Qing said.

Bao Liuwen has actually been sleeping badly these days, she knows that these days will be the time to decide her fate, and she sits on the bed every night to pray to the Bodhisattva. As soon as Zhanfang knocked on the door, she knew that something was wrong, so she hurriedly got up.

"Xiaowen, how did you do what I asked you to do a while ago?" Bao Qing asked.

"It's all ready, just wait for Brother Bao to speak."

"Good! Same as last time in Luzhou! Use that spotlight to shine on them, and don't let them sleep. Remember, all the adult men of the Li family, including the servants, were all circled together and shone with a large spotlight. Don't interrogate you first, it will take a day or two, and when they can't bear it, whoever confesses first will let him go back to sleep! Do you understand? ”

"Understand, Brother Bao, in the previous Lu Mansion case, didn't we do this! I know how to do it, rest assured! ”

"I have to ask a few points! First of all, where all the property of the Li family was hidden, secondly, who was their Li family doing things for, and finally why they didn't take it back and transport it away immediately after robbing the money! ”

"Okay, got it!"

"Brother Bao? Why don't you send someone to reinforce Qian Hunting? Zhanfang was a little puzzled.

Bao Qing sighed and said: "There are not enough people, the other party dispatched as many as four or five hundred people, but they didn't eat the money for nearly an hour, and the head catcher helped catch fast!" What does that mean, you say? Moreover, now that the water level has not been lowered, it is futile to stay there! Why did you attack Qian Zhutou at this time? ”

"Huh? What does Brother Bao mean by the enemy, who is turning the tiger away from the mountain? So where do they want to attack the most? Zhan Fang looked surprised.

"I guess it's over the dam. There were a lot of people there, but they were all victims. As soon as I get all the guards out there and are charged by the enemy's men, I'm sure the victims will run away. But as long as there are guards there, maybe the victims will help defend themselves. However, it was clearly Lord Ouyang Xiu's Qincha Guard, and in fact, five miles away, I secretly ambushed two hundred soldiers from the horse patrol as backup! ”

"By the way, Brother Bao, why did you say that the Plum Blossom Gang had so many people coming over, and they were not discovered by the government?"

"Until now, do you still think it's the Plum Blossom Gang? Didn't you hear the catcher say like a sergeant? I just can't figure out where the soldiers came from, this is a blatant rebellion! No, things have exceeded my expectations, I need to go find Lord Qinchafan! Bao Qing said worriedly.

……

"Sergeant? Where did the sergeant come from? Are you mistaken? In addition to the inspection department in Luzhou, there is only one battalion commander! The inspection department has four or five hundred soldiers under its direct jurisdiction, and the battalion commander has about five hundred soldiers. The two should be in Luzhou, why did they come here? Fan Zhongyan was a little unconvinced.

"I'm weird too! But I know that catches quickly, and there shouldn't be a fake! My lord, I have already taken your warrant to Luzhou to borrow a water army, and there are about 200 people. Let's see if you can bring in some more people? Now many people are afraid that these two million are red! Bao Qing said.

"Are you sure those two million are in the river? You've all transferred my guards, and there are probably a hundred of them, which is not enough? ”

"Not enough! The more the merrier, I don't want to make mistakes, there are so many unexpected things these days! ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to transfer the soldiers of the first battalion of the Luzhou commander [***]! That's it! ”

"Good!" Bao Qing nodded.

The sky was getting brighter, and when Bao Qing returned to the yamen, there was a commotion in the yamen, and a violent and unpleasant smell of blood came to his nostrils.

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent!" Qian Zhutou knelt on the ground, only to see that his clothes were torn, covered with blood, and blood was slowly oozing out, and the gossip ghost knife on his waist had long since disappeared.

Seeing this, Bao Qing felt that it was too miserable, and he really couldn't bear it, so he turned to see that he didn't see Qian Qiang, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Qian Qiang?" ”

Seeing that Bao Qing was not to blame, and cared about his son, Qian Zhutou couldn't help but be grateful, and hurriedly said: "The dog is fine, I am cleaning the wound in the backyard!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Bao Qing said to himself.

"My lord, there are too many thieves here this time, I think they may all be pretending to be sergeants! I have nearly a hundred brothers, and less than ten have rushed out! Qian Zhutou looked a little sad.

"Isn't it that at first, I attacked you suddenly, and after killing you in a wave, I besieged you but didn't attack, and then let one or two people out for help?"

"My lord, it's really as you said."

"Blame me, I'm sorry for you! I didn't let people rescue you! It's me who underestimates! ”

"No, my lord, after I ran over and thought about it, I am afraid that this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, but the adult is not fooled!"

"I really don't have any soldiers in my hands, but you're the only one! I really didn't expect to kill such a group of people, what do you think is going on with these people? Bao Qing asked.

The Qian catcher shook his head and said: "It's definitely not from the rivers and lakes, I see that those hundreds of people have unified and orderly actions, and the people of the rivers and lakes can't do it, it was trained for a long time." Secondly, they came from the land, right behind us, it should be in the direction of Luzhou. ”

"Luzhou direction?" Bao Qing was a little surprised, "Forget it, so be it!" You send two people to keep an eye on that side, and the dead and wounded brothers are doubled! Go ask Zhu Daniu or Xiaowen for money! ”

Bao Qing returned to the room, but he couldn't be quiet, so he came out for a walk again!

"My lord, are you going to a prison cell?" A guard outside the yamen cell asked as he watched Bao Qing keep wandering around the cell.

"Oh? Yes, I'll go in and see Bao Hong! Bao Qing remembered Bao Hong, and after entering the cell, he heard the ghosts crying and wolf howling inside.

"I'm going to sleep, what do you want to know, we'll tell you all, let's sleep!"

"Bao Qing, you deceitful villain, Lao Tzu will definitely not let you go!"

Bao Qing knew that Bao Liuwen was in a prison cell. He didn't go to see her either, and went directly to Bao Hong.

Bao Hong's cell is still relatively clean, it is estimated that Bao Liuwen often goes to take care of it, looking through the fence of the cell, Bao Hong is in good spirits.

"You're here! Stuck in a roadblock? Bao Hong asked lightly.

Bao Qing nodded, and after a long while, he spit out words: "Can you tell Lu Yijian what task he gave you and Nama to inspect back then?" ”

"When I was rescued by you in the Li Mansion, I knew that there would be such a day, and you would come to me sooner or later to ask about this! I just really didn't expect it to come so soon! Bao Hong said.

"It's not me who came quickly! It's people who do it fast! Do you want to watch your daughter widowed? It's all up to now, and you're still hiding it from me! Let me tell you, the nearly 100 or so catchers of Qian Hunt are basically dead! ”

"Oh? So what about him? ”
