Chapter 84: Manpower

At night.

There is still half an hour left before the arrest operation.

All the county officials are gathering in the fishing room on standby, but no one knows what task they are about to perform.

Soon, two county officials arrived, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

"Everyone," Chen Houlu took out a letter from his bosom and showed it to everyone to see, while introducing, "I received a notice from the Songzhou Mansion. Tonight, we are going to carry out a special mission to arrest Cui Meng of Wansheng Casino! ”

Swish......

As soon as they heard that the task was to arrest Cui Meng, all the arresters were stunned, and all of them were frightened.

Even, some people unconsciously took a few steps back, looking as if they were about to escape.

However, Cheng Xiao had already closed the door of the fishing house, and no one could get out.

"Don't worry," at this time, Song Zhili came forward, pointed to the letter and said, "You can take a look at this official document of the government office, it is clearly written that Cui Xiaotian has been arrested by the government on suspicion of murder and other crimes."

"Now, it is suspected that Cui Xiaotian's son Cui Meng is also involved in it, and he is also suspected of many vicious cases, so the above ordered us to arrest him immediately to prevent Cui Meng from escaping!"

Oh......

Hearing this, the hearts of the fast catchers eased slightly.

"Don't worry," Chen Houlu showed the official seal on the letter while comforting everyone, "Cui Xiaotian's power has been completely destroyed!" We received a tip that Cui Meng was secretly transferring property, and if he wanted to run away overnight, we had to take him down in time.

"Here, there are a few points I want to explain to you," Chen Houlu said, "First, this arrest is also a secret operation, and like the arrest of Qiu Batian, everyone must keep their identity secret;

"Second, this arrest is not a life-threatening operation, as long as everyone follows the established plan, there will be no danger;

"Third, due to the importance of this arrest, Lord Song has decided that if there are enough stolen goods collected, everyone will have a copy, and it is estimated that it should be more than ten times the reward you received when you captured Qiu Batian!"

Oh......

Hearing that there was little danger and that there was money to be made, the doubts of the catchers suddenly weakened, and their eyes quickly lit up.

"However," Chen Houlu added, "ugly words must also be talked about in advance, if someone does not listen to the command and leads to the failure of this operation, we will never spare it lightly, and we will punish it severely!" Do you understand everything? ”

"Yes!" The crowd quickly agreed in unison.

"Everyone," at this time, Song Zhili added, "The Criminal Department will soon send someone to Yanping, in addition to supervising Qiu Zhennong, another thing is to try Cui's father and son." Therefore, you can rest assured that if you handle the case well, you will not only make money, but also may be rewarded by the imperial court. ”

"Yes!"

After saying this, the catchers were even more excited.

Seeing that the effect was quite satisfactory, the two county officials nodded understandingly, and then handed over the on-site command to Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao stood in front of him, pointed to the map and began to assign tasks:

"Lao Cheng, Xiaolin, after the operation begins, the two of you go to these two places in Wansheng Casino to set fires, and run away after the release; The others followed us in and got ......."

Just when Cheng Xiao was assigning tasks to everyone, a servant came in to report to the two county officials, saying that Lord Sima Xin's entourage had come to pass the word.

So, Song Zhili and Chen Houlu came to the front hall, only to see a young man wearing the official uniform of the government bow to them, and said:

"Lord Sima asked me to inform the two adults that the officials of the Criminal Department will arrive at the county office tonight, and ask the two adults to prepare for them. Master Sima and Master Cai will also come to the yamen later to wait together. ”

Hearing the news, Song Zhili and the others immediately nodded their heads, indicating that they knew.

The messenger turned and left the yamen.

Just as he turned around, Chen Houlu had already taken out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve pocket.

As the saying goes, Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, and according to custom, he has to tip people.

Unexpectedly, this entourage forgot to ask for it and left directly, as if he was in a hurry.

All right......

Chen Houlu naturally thought that the messenger was a novice, so he took back the broken silver.

"Coming...... What a time! Song Zhili couldn't help frowning, worried that the arrival of the officials of the Criminal Department would affect the arrest of Cui Meng.

"It's okay," Chen Houlu comforted, "Since the word is spread now, it means that the people from the Criminal Department will not come too early, when the time comes, I will drag Lord Sima and Master Cai, you can deal with your big affairs!"

"Besides, the South Prison is so close, if there is anything, I will send someone to inform you, or the most important thing is to rescue Miss Gongzi!"

"Oops," Song Zhili was moved, and immediately clenched his fist to Chen Houlu, "Then there is Master Lao Chen!" ”

"Don't see me!" Chen Houlu returned the courtesy, and spoke in his heart, as long as you don't forget to sign for me, don't stop me from retiring......

……

Ten points at the beginning of the year.

Wansheng Casino.

It was another silent and windless winter night.

But what is silent is only the external environment, but the interior of Wansheng Casino is brightly lit and full of people.

The gamblers pushed Pai Gow and rolled the dice, all with red eyes and blood, all looking forward to their good luck tonight and killing all sides......

At this moment, the arrest operation has begun.

Under the moonlight, Xu Zhen, who was wearing a night suit and a black cloth mask, was guarding a small door in the backyard of Wansheng Casino, where he was responsible for controlling the wind.

And Shen Mingchen took Shen Yu, Cheng Xiao and the best people in the fast catch, and they had already sneaked into the courtyard.

While waiting for action, Xu Zhen was still reminiscing about Chen Houlu's wonderful performance.

Jiang is still old and spicy, the official documents and official seals are all fake, just forged an official document, and he will catch all the arrests quickly, ruthless enough!

I don't know, when the catchers know the real situation in the future, will they regret their green intestines?

Just as he was thinking about it, the action had already begun, and the firewood room and kitchen of Wansheng Gambling House suddenly burst into flames, followed by thick smoke.

Soon, the fire spread to the vicinity of the gambling house, and panicked shouts were heard in the gambling house, and the gamblers rushed out of the main entrance with a stack of broken silver and copper plates, for fear of being burned to death......

Hearing the shouting, there was finally movement in the backyard, and with a noisy footsteps from near and far, Xu Zhen knew that it must be the thugs guarding the money vault who went to the front yard to check the situation.

Not long after they left, there was a sound of fighting in the courtyard, but the sound of fighting was fleeting, presumably Shen Lao and the others had already succeeded and successfully rushed into the treasury.

Xu Zhen pondered silently in his heart, feeling that this time, the tiger girl Shen Yu should not report herself as soon as she came up, right?

The plan seemed to be going very smoothly, and it only took two or three minutes before and after, when the small door suddenly opened, and Shen Mingchen and the others rushed out of the courtyard.

Among them, Shen Yu was still carrying a person on his shoulder, needless to say, that person should be the target of their mission - Cui Meng!

"How?" Xu Zhen hurriedly greeted and asked.

"It went very well! Withdraw! Shen Mingchen only replied with four words, and hurriedly led everyone to rush into the shadows deep in the alley.

According to the established plan, after the victory, the people will separate up and run in different directions to confuse the enemy.

However, after Shen Mingchen and the others disappeared, Xu Zhen did not leave immediately, but dodged into the courtyard and ran to the location of the treasury.

There were two people lying on the ground at the door of the treasury, obviously both knocked unconscious by Shen Mingchen and the others.

As soon as Xu Zhen ran to the door, he saw a person staggering out of the treasury, this person should have been injured, and his arm should have been broken.

"Come on...... Come on, come on...... Childe has been taken captive, come and ......"

He staggered out of the vault, calling out as he ran.

Hey?

A little bit really!

Seeing this person, Xu Zhen was immediately excited, because he recognized at a glance that this person was Cui Meng's subordinate - Erxin!

That's great!

Xu Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to help Erxin, and shouted: "Brother Erxin, it turns out that you are here, I can be regarded as finding you!" ”

"Ah......" Er Xinjian saw another man in black coming to him, and he was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run, but his body had already been pulled by Xu Zhen.

"It's me, it's me, the second new brother!" Xu Zhen took off his mask and reported to Erxin, "I'm Xu Zhen!" ”

"Huh?" Erxin fixed his eyes and saw that it was really Xu Zhen who was catching fast, and this time he was even more stupid, "What...... How are you? ”

"Quick!" Xu Zhen said excitedly, "Second new brother, is your Cui Ye Yanping now?" Hurry up and go to him to save people! ”

"Yes, at home, but ...... This is...... What's going on? Erxin looked confused.

"You listen to me," Xu Zhen said hurriedly, "The one who captured Young Master Cui is our county master, I am here to risk my life to leak the news to you, you hurry up to find Cui Ye to save people in the county government, it's too late, the young master's life will be lost!" Hurry up! ”

"Huh?" Erxin was dumbfounded, "County government? They were all from the county government just now, why? ”

"You remember," Xu Zhen pointed to his face and reminded again, "It's me who reported the letter to you, and I will save the young master when I go back, but don't forget my goodness!" All my debts must be forgiven to me! ”

"Alas, alas, alas......" Although Erxin was confused, he still nodded vigorously, and after nodding, he found that Xu Zhen had already disappeared in a smoke......
