After throwing the short sword out of the window, the thin and fat major generals were about to come out and surrender, but they were stopped by the old catcher and told them not to come out, so they sat down in the corner. They heard a jumble of footsteps in the yard, and after a while there was no sound.

The two didn't know what was going on outside, and after waiting for a long time, no one came to greet them. The fat boy looked out the window for a while, and the courtyard was empty, and there was no one. He panicked and fidgeted. Qiu Qian said: "You just sit down and wait." ”

The fat boy sat on the ground, holding his knees with his hands, bored, so he asked Qiu Qian curiously: "Look at you like this, the family is very rich." But there are mines? ”

Seeing that they were willing to surrender and that they were out of danger, Qiu Qian relaxed and said, "My father has a copper mine. ”

The fat boy shouted: "Then your family has a house and a car in Chang'an, right?" ”

Qiu Qian said: "I guess there is." ”

"But a single-family courtyard, a four-wheel-drive carriage?" The fat boy looked envious.

The thin man sneered: "What a four-wheel drive carriage, it's a four-wheel carriage." The Son of Heaven drives six, the princes drive five, the Qing drives four, the doctor is three, the scholar is two, and the concubine is one, which cannot be surpassed. Even if it is a wealthy businessman, at most it is two cars, and he will be killed if he exceeds the system. ”

Qiu Qian couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and arched his hand: "The elder brother is erudite and talented, and the younger brother admires it." The thin boy smiled bitterly: "But you mock me." Qiu Qian said in a loud voice: "How dare you, how dare you." ”

Fat Shao pointed to Thin Shao: "His family also has a copper mine, and his ancestors have some connections with the famous Deng Tong." ”

Qiu Qian suddenly realized and said, "We are also fellow believers. After saying this, I chuckled in my heart, as if there was something wrong with the meaning. The thin man sat on the ground and didn't pay attention, crying and shaking his hands, which was a response.

Qiu Qian couldn't help but be curious: "Then you still come out to grab money." ”

The fat boy looked at his face and said, "It's fun, looking for excitement." ”

Qiu Qian shook his head again and again, feeling unreasonable.

The head catcher and the old catcher were quite leisurely outside the courtyard, and the two were gossiping, and suddenly a team of soldiers ran around them, and the head catcher was taken aback. He recognized the crossbowmen of the Beiying Forbidden Army at this time, and hurriedly pulled the old catcher to follow.

The crossbowmen were each armed with a three-stone crossbow. The arm crossbow is made of bamboo, the animal tendon is the string, the crossbow arm is hardwood, the crossbow machine is made of bronze, with a hope mountain, a hanging knife, the crossbowman holds the crossbow in his right hand and the arrow in his left hand, which can accurately shoot the target at 100 steps.

When the crossbowmen entered the courtyard, they dispersed silently and quickly, each taking up a vantage point, and taking a shooting stance aimed at the door and window of the hut.

The head catcher felt incredible, and whispered in the ear of the old catcher: "The crossbowmen of the Beiying Forbidden Army were actually dispatched." ”

The old catcher said softly: "The kidnapping for ransom is a big and important case, and the Jingzhao Yin Office is a forbidden arrest, and the Beiying Forbidden Army can be mobilized, and this will inevitably reach the heavens." ”

The head catcher suddenly realized: "If you save people and capture thieves, and close the case with this, God's grace is indispensable." The old catcher put a finger to his lips and signaled silence.

The three people in the house were wondering why there was no movement in the courtyard, and the fat boy poked his head to look for the headcatcher, and was shocked to find two rows of crossbowmen in the courtyard at some point, silently standing or crouching, and the crossbow arrows were aimed at the door and window of the house. The fat boy was so frightened that he crawled and shrank to the corner of the house.

Thin and Qiu Qian were so strange, they also looked at it, and they were also surprised when they saw this. The thin man collapsed under the window, and kept muttering, "It's over, it's over." The fat boy complained with a crying voice: "It's all your fault, the family is so rich and you have to come out to rob the money, now it's okay, I'm going to jail." ”

Qiu Qian wasn't too scared, but now he was even more relaxed, and comforted: "Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of going to prison, I just went to prison, and I'm still a prisoner." ”

"You're a fugitive, huh?" The fat boy and the thin boy exclaimed in unison. Qiu Qian looked embarrassed, spread his hands and said, "It's not a fugitive." But I can't say a word or two about this. ”

At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and after a moment it was quiet, and the head catcher could be heard shouting: "Listen, people in the house, Jing Zhaoyin wants to talk to you." ”

The three people in the room leaned on the edge of the window and looked out. In the courtyard stood a middle-aged man dressed in official uniform, with an angular face, a gloomy complexion, and eyes as sharp as an eagle.

Qiu Qian said curiously: "He is Jingzhao Yin Zhao Guanghan." Fat Shao said: "It should be." The thin boy trembled and said, "What else does he have to say, let's just go out and surrender." ”

Zhao Guanghan waved his hand majestically, and the two rows of crossbowmen lowered their bows and arrows together, and the courtyard was silent, he was very satisfied with this effect, and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the people inside, I am Jingzhao Yin Zhao Guanghan, I have ordered the crossbowmen to retreat, I will not hurt you, and you must not hurt the hostages." ”

Fat Shao hurriedly replied, "We won't hurt the hostages." ”

Zhao Guanghan continued: "You were originally idle and harmful, but you also want to punish crimes. Nowadays, taking hostages with knives and extorting ransom is a felony. ”

"The hostage-taking was our impulse, and we did not extort ransom. ”

Zhao Guanghan said: "If the hostages can be released and blamed, Jingzhao Mansion will treat it well." ”

The fat boy and the thin man shouted in unison: "We release the hostages, we confess, we surrender." ”

After creating such a big momentum and solving the matter so easily, Zhao Guanghan was a little disappointed in his heart.

According to his original assumption, these two evil young men took hostages and resisted stubbornly, he was in danger alone, and the righteousness was awe-inspiring and said something from the bottom of his heart, and the robbers struggled several times, and finally were moved, voluntarily confessed, and were arrested. But before he could say anything, the robbers surrendered.

He thought about it, and it seemed that it could only end like this, glanced at the two short swords on the ground, and said, "Then I'm in." I don't carry weapons, so you don't have to be afraid. I was quite disappointed in my heart, and I couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, a health official beside him thought that Jing Zhaoyin was worried that there would be danger after entering, so he volunteered: "It's dangerous inside, I'll go in first." ”

Zhao Guanghan was very annoyed when he saw that this person didn't know the current affairs, and said in a low voice: "Get out of the way." ”

Before he could take a step, the door creaked open, and the fat and thin men crawled out in unison, and in an instant they were prostrate in front of him. Qiu Qian then walked out of the hut, and the courtyard resounded with cheers.

Zhao Guanghan was still thinking about what to say and do after entering, and was taken aback by this sudden move. However, he quickly calmed down, looked around, motioned for everyone to be quiet, straightened his clothes, tried to squeeze out some approving smiles, and said to the two people lying on the ground: "I also want to thank you for knowing that you have lost your way and saved the hostages." He also lamented: "But in the past, the crime you have committed is very serious, and you should be severely punished according to the law." ”

The fat and thin ones knelt on the ground, choked and speechless.

Zhao Guanghan bent down and said very sincerely: "When you get to prison, I will order someone to take care of you." If you're lucky enough to encounter an amnesty from the imperial court, I'll try to pardon you. ”

The fat boy and the thin boy fully understood their situation, and kowtowed again and again to thank them.

Zhao Guanghan turned to the head catcher and said, "I took these two criminals away, and you will take care of the rest of the aftermath." "The head catcher bowed down and made a promise.

Man Tian led several Jingzhao Mansion officials to step forward and dragged the two of them away.

Xia Nell had been stopped outside the courtyard before, and at this time she flew towards Qiu Qian, first hugged his neck and cried, and after a while, she let go of him and looked up and down carefully, and then cried and laughed and beat his chest, and her pretty face was also spent.

Qiu Qian just smiled innocently, and then hugged her into his arms. Xia Nell suddenly felt that she had entered an ethereal realm, and her heart was clear and soft like water. She snuggled for a long time, only to realize that it was in Qiu Qian's arms, pushed him away suddenly, and trotted out of the yard with a shy face.

The head catcher smiled: "Childe hasn't caught up yet." The hunters also laughed and joked.

Although Qiu Qian was thick-skinned, he was also a little embarrassed at this time, hesitated for a moment, and chased after him fiercely.

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion escorted the two robbers back to their homes. In less than an hour, the streets and alleys of Chang'an were full of the heroic deeds of Jingzhao Yin and Zhao Guanghan who ventured alone to persuade two robbers who had been kidnapped to surrender and ensure the safety of the hostages.
