Chapter 22: The Robbery of the Town

Meng Gang took his subordinates and came directly to the county hall in front.

When Lu Zhixian saw everyone coming, he hurriedly got up from his seat:

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard! What did the interrogation come out of? ”

Meng Gang didn't answer, waved his hand, and Zhang Qiang and another factory guard hugged up and tied Lu Zhixian strongly.

"Why are you tying me up?"

"Alas! It's all this time, and you're still hard-mouthed. Why don't we wait until the fifteenth day has passed before letting you go? ”

Hearing Meng Gang say this, Lu Zhixian's face was like ashes in an instant.

Because they had to take the antidote on the fifteenth day, it seemed that they had all the inside information.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhixian's legs weakened and knelt down:

"I beg your spare life. The petty officials were also diligent in government and loved the people, but they were victimized by traitors and mistakenly took poison, so they fell to the world today. ”

"It's come to this, and it's useless to say more. How to deal with it, when you arrive at the Criminal Department, you will give a satisfactory answer. ”

Lu Zhixian collapsed on the ground and was dragged by the factory guards and sent to the backyard prison.

"The magistrate was sent to prison, and the position of the magistrate cannot always be vacant. We should report it immediately and let the court appoint a new magistrate. Meng Gang said to Du Wenlin.

"yes, this has to be resolved as soon as possible. The point is that there are still more than a dozen believers in the prison in the backyard, and they have to wait for someone from above to deal with it. ”

"In addition, there are many people on the list surnamed Ren who have not been brought to justice, and they have to be arrested, so we don't have time to do it ourselves. Today, I will go to Changzhou Mansion with you and let the government carry out this task. ”

Meng Gang arranged for Zhang Qiang to temporarily take charge of the security affairs of the county government, and then took two factory guards and went to Changzhou with Du Wenlin.

Diagonally opposite the county government is a two-story inn.

At this time, in a window on the second floor, an old man with white hair looked at Du Wenlin's departing back, turned around silently, opened the birdcage behind him, took out a pigeon, and stuffed a small note into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet.

A gray dove flew north from the window with its wings flapping.

The distance from Wuxi to Changzhou is less than 100 miles, and when they first arrived in Si, Meng Gang and they had already run nearly half of the distance.

It had just rained heavily at night, and the road was muddy, so I tried to pick up the official road and walk.

The official road passed through a small town called Hengshan Bridge, and Meng Gang saw that it was still early and proposed to fight here.

Everyone was busy all night, early in the morning and now the rice grains are not exhausted, as soon as they hear about the sharp, they feel hungry.

There is a small restaurant in the east of the town near the official road, and it is not yet time to eat, and the store is relatively deserted.

The four of them walked into the restaurant and shouted to the boss to hurry up and order food.

The boss brought tea and asked everyone to wait for a while.

Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of horses outside the door, and looking from the window, more than a dozen Jianghu people dressed in various costumes came outside.

They turned over and dismounted, drew their weapons from their horses, and rushed into the house together.

The four people in the room immediately understood that these people were coming for them, and immediately stood up and drew their knives on guard.

These people didn't plan to let them out again today, so they divided their troops to guard the doors and windows.

The rest of the people rushed over in a swarm of four people, and there were no extra words.

In an instant, the sound of weapons clashing rang out.

The two people who rushed in front were put down by Meng Gang and them as soon as they took a look, and the people behind immediately filled their positions and took turns to attack by taking advantage of the small space.

The people who followed behind kept throwing darts into it, disturbing the four of them.

The space was too small, and the four of them stood side by side in front of the window, fending off the flood of attacks.

Du Wenlin knew that it was not a way to go on like this, and the other party used the wheel warfare method to drag them to death.

Gritting his teeth, he leaped forward and stabbed at the wrist of a swordsman.

Fast as lightning, the swordsman's wrist instantly surged with blood, and the sword fell to the ground with a thud, holding his wrist and withdrawing from the battlefield.

Du Wenlin's dagger wanted to stab at a big man with a knife again, but suddenly, a sneer came, and a short steel spear less than two feet pierced his chest in an instant.

Du Wenlin was so startled that he took a step back before he barely dodged.

The short spear did not give him a chance to breathe, like a maggot with a bone that followed his body and stabbed him into his left ribs.

Du Wenlin has experienced the battle of the Grand Canyon and the underground battle of Renfu, and every battle has not made him afraid.

And today, he felt fear.

He didn't even see the face of the person who came, only felt that the other party seemed to be a cloud of blue smoke around him, making it impossible for him to stretch his hands and feet.

In a hurry, he was almost stabbed in the arm by the short spear.

Du Wenlin jumped up sharply and withdrew two meters diagonally, away from the battle group.

At this time, it became clear that the other party was a young man in his twenties wearing a blue robe, with a white and thin face, medium build, holding a short spear and stabbing his figure again.

Du Wenlin has always been proud of his speed, but he didn't expect that today's opponent's speed is not slower than him. The surprise attack almost wounded himself under the spear.

Du Wenlin found that the other party was not only extremely fast, but also had a deep attainment in the use of short spears.

He has not undergone systematic training for any weapons, and the dagger in his hand was still stuffed by Meng Gang on the road for self-defense.

Every battle is won by speed and keen vision.

Today, he met a real opponent, an opponent who could not find any flaws and breakthroughs.

Fortunately, he has a natural ability to adapt, and every time the short spear stabs, he can quickly counterattack from an angle that the opponent has to defend.

He knew that only by fighting fast could he restrain the other party, and if he was a little sluggish, he would have to take five steps to splash blood.

As a result, the two figures, one brown and one blue, were like two puffs of light smoke, quickly winding and rotating together.

Meng Gang's side was also miserable.

Today, the opponent's manpower not only exceeded his own by several times, but also he was a rare master. At the same time, they are also both offensive and defensive, and they cooperate very well.

A factory guard's arm with a knife was pierced by a sword, blood gushed out, and his brown clothes were dyed black.

Meng Gang sighed secretly: The four of them are probably going to be here today.

Suddenly, there was a miserable cry outside the door, and the four people who were guarding the door and window outside were cut off by a sudden girl dressed in fiery red clothes with lightning weapons, and before they could recover their senses, they were pierced through the body.

The long sword had been drawn from his chest, and the four of them were still standing with their eyes open.

His eyes were full of dazedness and fear, and he still doubted that there was such a fast sword in the world.

The screams outside the house alarmed the people fighting inside, and everyone couldn't help but pause.

Before everyone could recover their senses, a red figure broke into the house.

The people on the periphery of the war group wanted to stop her, but unfortunately, as soon as she showed her weapon, she was cut off by a flash of cold light, and another scream came, and in the blink of an eye, she injured three more people.

The people in the warband stopped fighting for a while, and watched as this uninvited guest chopped vegetables and cut melons to kill.

The four people in the circle all breathed a sigh of relief, and they knew that their lives were saved.

The blue-shirted man who was fighting with Du Wenlin just now suddenly left Du Wenlin and rushed towards the woman in red, he wanted to relieve his accomplices.

Where could Du Wenlin let him get out, his figure rushed out, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at his vest.

The woman in red watched as a silver spear stabbed in front of her in the blink of an eye, and she swayed her body to the right in a hurry, and the spear slid past her waist, almost breaking the belt.

The blue-shirted man missed a blow, but he felt the biting chill of the blade behind him, and he knew that something was wrong, so he didn't reduce his castration, and rushed directly out of the door.

It's a pity that it's still half a beat slower, and the back is still stabbed half a foot in the back by a dagger.

Ignoring the pain, he flew on his horse and left in a hurry, leaving behind a spray of blood.

Du Wenlin looked at the back of the blue-shirted man in the distance, thoughtful.

The remaining attackers in the house fled with the wounds of the first battle, and there were few of the companions who were lucky enough to survive, and no one had the courage to fight any further. There was no possibility of escaping if she wanted to take the opportunity, and the woman in red had her eyes wide open, like a demon god blocking the door. Then they threw away their weapons and waited for them to be delivered.

The woman in red is none other than Wang Ling, the bold and spicy girl.

"Thank you, miss! If you hadn't arrived in time today, we would have been planted here. Meng Gang thanked Wang Ling.

Wang Ling sat on the stool and shouted:

"Hurry up and call the store to eat, I'm starving."

The room full of people couldn't help laughing, even the captured people thought that this girl was really special.

There was blood everywhere, and corpses were strewn inside and outside the house, but she turned a blind eye and was anxious to fill her stomach.

It is probably difficult to find a second woman with such a big heart.

"We can't eat here anymore, so let's let the store report to the official first, and let the local government come to clean up the aftermath, we have to eat in another place." Meng Gang said again.

"Okay, let's go, what are you still rubbing?" Wang Ling is a quick temper.

Meng Gang smiled bitterly and walked in front of the captured crowd:

"You should all be 'Red Sealed' disciples, and you may not be able to help yourself when you come here today. I don't want to embarrass you, as long as you answer my questions, you can leave. ”

"Just ask." A bearded man said.

"Where are you all from?"

"Changzhou." The strong man replied.

"Have you all seen the Golden Helmsman?"

The men looked at each other, but no one said a word.

Meng Gang put his hands behind his back, stared at them, and didn't say a word.

"We've all met." It's still that strong man.

"Where's his helm?"

"We really don't know this, every time we meet, we find a free yard, or a vacant place in the suburbs, and we all meet him on this occasion."

"How old is he?"

"He looks like he's about fifty years old, and we're not sure because he's always wearing a face mask."

"What does he do for a living?"

"We don't know about that."

"Okay, I'm done."

At this time, Du Wenlin came over:

"The blue-shirted man who fled on horseback just now, which of you knows him? What is your name? ”

"We don't know what his name is, but when the team went out of the city, he joined in, saying that the Golden Helmsman asked him to carry out a mission with us." The strong man replied.

Ask all the questions you need to ask, and let them all go.

"We don't have time to wait for the local county government to deal with them, and we can't slaughter them all, so we have to let them go." Meng Gang had no choice but to explain.

In this regard, everyone has no opinion.

Only now did everyone have time to care about Wang Ling, Meng Gangqi said:

"Miss, why are you here? There are more than 2,000 miles from the capital to here. ”

Wang Ling's face was cunning:

"Knowing that you were here, I sneaked out and came all the way to this side. It should also happen that you are dead, I happened to pass by here and saw you fighting. ”

Everyone smiled bitterly.
