"Then I'll play? Said the case was solved? Have you recovered the two million dollars? Fan Zhongyan asked in surprise.

"Well, it's simple, let's just say that the case is solved and the money is found, not to mention the rest, the reverie at six o'clock will be given to the official family. Fan-sama, I hope you can go to the formation in person. "Bao Qing is actually selfish, if this Qincha is attacked, the court will definitely pay attention to it, and the official family will know the difficulty of cracking this case, so maybe there will be more rewards. Besides, Qin Cha personally went to suppress the formation to see which of those errand men dared to die.

"Good! The old man personally pressed the formation! Once I've written the recital, I'll go myself! Fan Zhongyan replied.

Bao Qing returned to the yamen, holding a cup of tea, and sat in the middle hall of the yamen, in addition to waiting, still waiting.

It was getting dark, and when I looked down the door, I could only see the last rays of sunshine at dusk!

"Your Excellency!" A servant came running from outside the door, Bao Qing knew, this person was Qin Zhuji's subordinate, Bao Qing's heart throbbed.

"Speak!" Bao Qing looked very calm.

"Master Qin asked his subordinates to report the news, and half an hour later, the embankment closed. The water level downstream is expected to start to drop in an hour. ”

"Good! Good! You go back and tell Master Qin, I will definitely pay tribute to him in front of Lord Qincha!" Bao Qing couldn't control his emotions, and his excited expression was overflowing.

"Big bull! Zhu Da Niu! Hurry up and call the money to catch it, gather the ones who are still alive to come to the meeting! Bao Qing shouted.

After a while, a lot of catchers and servants came one after another, and Bao Qing counted about thirty people. At this time, two dull footsteps came out of the door of the central hall. Everyone looked, only to see Qian Qiangbu walking in front, behind is a strange man over forty years old, only to see that the man's face is resolute, his temples are slightly gray, the most eye-catching is the yellow golden gossip knife he is holding in his right hand with one hand, a coercive momentum is coming.

Everyone was surprised, and when Bao Qing saw this, he smiled, got up in person to greet him, and said, "What a momentum!" Qian Catcher, no, it should be called the Golden Hall Master, tonight is a bloody battle, unless you die in battle, you must not retreat! ”

The Jin Wandao walked in front of Bao Qing, asked his son Qian Qiang to kneel down, and replied with a fist: "The subordinates should fight to the death, and never take a step back!" ”

That Qian Qiang said: "My lord, my father said that he wanted to go out of the mountain again, and this didn't take out the ancestral gossip soul knife!" ”

Bao Qing hurriedly helped Jin Wandao up, and sighed with emotion in his heart, as if there was a feeling that Liu Bei had won Huang Zhong.

"Today, in a battle to the death, in addition to killing the enemy, everyone must live well, and it will be said that each person will be rewarded with 200 yuan! The war dead will be given a thousand pensions. Come with me! Bao Qing said.

At this time, Zhanfang walked out and said, "Brother Bao, slow down, change your clothes and change into official clothes!" Wear it for those who are young! ”

When Bao Qing heard this, he couldn't help but scold in his heart, this stupid woman, didn't you change Lao Tzu into an official uniform to make it clear that Lao Tzu would become the focus of thieves' attacks? As soon as the thief saw someone in official uniform, he must have expected that he would be the one who gave the order, and that would not cost Lao Tzu's life.

Bao Qing can't say that he is suffering, who let himself pretend to be a shameless man just now! Bao Qing had no choice but to change into official clothes and follow everyone out of the yamen.

At this time, he happened to meet Fan Zhongyan, who went to the embankment to meet Ouyang Xiu. Bao Qing looked at it, although this Lord Fan was a little old, dressed as a Confucian general, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and the sword tassels fluttering in the wind, he looked much more chic and handsome than himself.

Bao Qing looked at Fan Zhongyan, then at himself, turned his head and snatched a big knife to catch fast, thinking in his heart, he has a long sword at his waist, and I Bao Qing has a big knife in my hand, and I don't give much!

Let's say that Ouyang Xiu was guarding the embankment at night, consciously a little depressed, and he didn't see any movement for a long time, which was really boring, but at this time, he saw the Qincha banner fluttering not far away, as if it was Lord Qinchafan coming. The people who were building embankments on both sides avoided it.

"My lord, why are you here? Listen to that bag boy, it's not very safe here, and it won't be long before this levee closes, I'm afraid it's the best time for thieves to attack! Ouyang Xiu was a little worried.

"If I don't come, how can the soldiers serve their death?" Fan Zhongyan said.

"Hmph, it must have been the bag of boys who slurped!" Ouyang Xiu said.

Before Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, Master Qin shouted loudly: "Hurry up, work hard!" Zhang Gouzi, go and inform Master Bao, just say that the embankment is closed now! ”

Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan both looked at each other, and several victims pushed two large stones into the gap in the middle of the embankment, and the gap was originally a surging flow of water, but it was instantly blocked, leaving only a dozen small streams of water.

"Down the mud, quick!" Someone shouted.

"Hey, what else are you looking at, Zhang Gouzi! Let's go, go and inform Lord Bao! Master Qin urged.

When the official named Zhang Gouzi heard this, he hurriedly spread his feet and ran downstream!

Suddenly, a miserable cry came not far away, and the official named Zhang Gouzi fell with an arrow stuck in his back!

Seeing this, Ouyang Xiu hurriedly shouted: "Protect Lord Qincha, protect Lord Qincha!" The Qincha guards over there hurriedly surrounded Fan Zhongyan.

"Get out of the way, the thieves are coming to kill the enemy, if there is any loss to the embankment, the old man will ask for your head!" Fan Zhongyan shouted, and after speaking, he actually drew his long sword and took the lead to rush towards the left front of the embankment.

I have to admire Fan Zhongyan, seeing the dog arrow shot at him, he can accurately judge the location of the enemy. Seeing this, Ouyang Xiu was afraid in his heart, on the one hand, he didn't dare to rush forward, and on the other hand, he was worried that something would happen to Fan Zhongyan. had to desperately urge the guards to keep up, and kept scolding Bao Qing, a harmful spirit.

Sure enough, not far ahead, a group of black-clothed people were gathering together, led by a burly man, riding a black high-headed horse under his crotch, only to see that the man had a big knife hanging on his horse, and a huge bow on his back, maybe the arrow just now was shot by him.

"Not bad! Lord Chincha Fan! I didn't expect that adults can be literate and martial! You'll soon find out where we are! The man in the lead said.

"Who are you? To dare to attack officers and soldiers is tantamount to rebellion! Fan Zhongyan shouted.

"Haha, we have all assassinated the emperor, what officers and soldiers are you afraid of!" The man who took the lead slowly pulled out the big knife on horseback, and from a distance, he could faintly see a delicate plum blossom on the knife surface!

"Plum Blossom Gang? You little people, it seems that the Nine Princes have not completely exterminated you! Everyone obey the order, line up, rush me! Fan Zhongyan knew that fortunately, these Qincha guards were all selected from the forbidden army, so they had to line up and charge, and this thief should have collapsed a lot. Because marching combat is different from fighting in the rivers and lakes, what is important is to deploy troops in formation, rush and kill.

Fan Zhongyan's side is hot, and Bao Qing's side is not comfortable. The thieves of the Plum Blossom Gang had already rushed over. Bao Qing saw that he was invincible, and hurriedly asked Qian Qiang to go to Zhanzhao's side for help.

Looking at the posture of these people, they are here to work hard, and the official uniform that Zhanfang changed for Bao Qing really hurt him. Bao Qing felt depressed in his heart, and secretly scolded in his heart that this bullshit official uniform was too much to attract hatred. He is not a real hero, and he pretends to be at most with a big knife in his hand. But the thieves of the Plum Blossom Gang didn't care, and rushed to him desperately, so they didn't hurry up and summon Zhanzhao and the others.

"Why hasn't Dong Yanran come yet? Thinking about widowhood? ”

"Brother Bao, don't worry, after all, it's coming from the downstream countercurrent, and the speed of the ship must be slow!" Zhanfang said while protecting Bao Qing.

"By the way, how did I forget, no wonder the water level is falling slowly! Quick, find someone to stand out, notify the officials on duty at the yamen to organize people, and remove the embankment in the south of the city, so that the water can drain quickly! ”

"My lord, I'm afraid it's not the way to go on like this! Don't forget, there's still an army of four or five hundred people hiding! "Jin Wandao A golden white hanging soul knife is indeed powerful, wherever the knife goes, there will be a thief who will die, I saw that he was covered in blood, panting and saying loudly.

"In a while, Zhanzhao will be there! Those hundreds of people will not come to us, their purpose is to prevent us from fishing out the official silver, not to run to us to rob the official silver. Therefore, the most direct way is to break down the embankment upstream. ”

"Huh? Isn't it dangerous for Lord Chincha? Jin Wandao was a little surprised.

Bao Qing didn't answer, and thought to himself: "What can I do, do I want to lead the danger to me?" ”

After a while, Zhanzhao and the others came, and the addition of the Zhan family suddenly became a new force, and Bao Qing was finally able to withstand the attack temporarily.

This is a general battle, now I just wait for Dong Yanran's army, sister Yanran, you should hurry up! Bao Qing watched the fight everywhere, he looked like an outsider, carrying a big knife in a daze, and kept hiding in the east of the province.

Of course, Ouyang Xiu was in the same embarrassing situation as Bao Qing, he really didn't expect to be able to fight with the thieves, but he didn't expect the fight to be so tragic.

"My lord, I'm afraid we can't resist it! But he was killed by that bag of boys. How is it good now? Ouyang Xiu asked.

"We can only count on the victims who ran out to ask for help! It's just that they don't even have weapons, and I'm afraid they will also have a lot of casualties! Fan Zhongyan said helplessly.

"Counting on the victims? When you rushed over with your lordship just now, they had already scattered in a chaotic manner! Why are these Plum Blossom Gang people so hard to kill? So many people? ”

"You haven't seen it yet? The thieves in front of them who were scattered by the guards before were the people of the Plum Blossom Gang, and the next few hundred people were the troops who attacked Bao Qing's head hunt some time ago, and they should be the people who commanded the Luzhou battalion [***]. Fan Zhongyan said.

When Ouyang Xiu heard this, he was shocked, this time his surname was over!

Just when Fan Zhongyan's guards were about to rout, there was a stirring in the rear of the thieves. Ouyang Xiu looked at it, it turned out that many archers appeared behind, and after a sneak attack, they shot and killed many thieves.

"Our reinforcements?" Fan Zhongyan was a little at a loss, was there anyone else in Bao Qing's hands?

Then the rear of the thieves broke up, and the people on both sides were suddenly intertwined, and there was a scuffle.

"Ahead of you, Lord Qinchafan? We are the people of the horse inspection, and we came to the rescue on the orders of Lord Ma! ”

"You're coming so fast?" Ouyang Xiu was a little puzzled.

"Actually, Master Bao has already ambushed us five miles away! We waited there for many days! It's a pity that there are only about 200 of us. The leader replied.

"This bag of kids is really leaky, and he actually has a backhand!" Ouyang Xiu said with a smile.
