Chapter 155: The Mystery of the Grain Ship
The masked man's eyebrows were upside down, his evil eyes were wide open, and his body exploded, shooting straight at Fu Tianpeng.
Fu Tianpeng immediately arrived at Chiyang Shengong and fought with the masked man. In the hand, the masked man's internal strength was like a surging river, and the strength and ruthlessness of his martial arts made Fu Tianpeng a little powerless.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside Chen's mansion, and there was chaos. I saw Dong Zhaozhi, the prefect of Chenzhou, rushing over with his own soldiers. He was accompanied by Zheng Xingyuan, the head of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and Sun Chengyi, the head of the Fuyi Opera Troupe.
After Dong Zhaozhi entered the door and saw the masked man, he said to his soldiers: "Take down this thief." ”
When the soldiers received the order, they lined up, and they took their bows and crossbows and shot all the arrows at the masked man.
The masked man roared and shouted at Dong Zhaozhi: "Look for death." ”
With the help of sharp footwork, he quickly rushed through the group of soldiers and burst into front of Dong Zhaozhi.
Then, his iron hand flew up and down, choking Dong Zhaozhi's throat. At the moment of life and death, Zheng Xingyuan stepped out with an arrow step and slapped his palm at the masked man.
The masked man took advantage of the situation to change his moves, and also used his palm to catch Zheng Xingyuan's move.
After palms facing each other, Zheng Xingyuan's body shook a few times, and his feet involuntarily took a few steps back.
Seeing this, the masked man sneered: "Mr. Zheng's dart head in Zhenyuan Dart Bureau is really worthy of its reputation. We'll see you later. ”
With that, the masked man performed a light feat, he kicked the wall and jumped over the tree, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After the masked man left, Zheng Xingyuan only felt that his eyes were like ink, and he was burning inside, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw that Zheng Xingyuan was injured and immediately came to visit. The two handed the calming qi pill to Zheng Xingyuan.
After Zheng Xingyuan took the medicine, he meditated cross-legged and used internal strength to help heal the injury.
After a few moments, his pain eased.
Dong Zhaozhi and Sun Chengyi stepped forward and asked Zheng Xingyuan about his injuries with concern.
Zheng Xingyuan sighed, and then said: "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for more than 40 years, and it can be said that I have rarely met opponents, but today I don't want to meet a person with such high martial arts. I didn't notice it for a while, and I was really ashamed to suffer internal injuries. ”
In addition to Sun Chengyi's concern about his friend's injury, he has a deep worry in his heart, it is not a good thing for such a powerful character to be the enemy of the Central Plains martial arts.
Seeing the many soldiers who fell to the ground, Dong Zhao's heart was like a knife, and he asked Zheng Xingyuan and Sun Chengyi if they knew the details of this masked man.
The two shook their heads, and they told Dong Zhaozhi that the other party was masked, and it was difficult to know his face, and when facing the enemy, he deliberately kept changing his moves, obviously not wanting people to know his martial arts path.
There is not the slightest evidence left here, and there is no clue about the investigation of the stubborn culprit, which makes Dong Zhaozhi very sad.
Zhao Xueqing looked at her face, she understood Dong Zhao's thoughts very well.
Therefore, Zhao Xueqing stepped forward and said to Dong Zhaozhi: "Is Lord Dong worried about not being able to trace the identity of the gangster? ”
After hearing this, Dong Zhaozhi saluted Zhao Xueqing and said: "The girl is really smart, yes, this mansion is worried about not being able to find out the whereabouts of the masked gangster." ”
Zhao Xueqing told Dong Zhaozhi that although the identity of the masked man is unknown at the moment, we can start from the inside, and maybe we can find some clues about the masked man.
Dong Zhaozhi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Zhao Xueqing for advice.
Zhao Xueqing told Dong Zhaozhi that the dead Ma Sanyi colluded with the owner of Xiong Zhuang and Tong Dahai of the Kuaima Gang, and they secretly worked for the Jin Kingdom. Liu Ming was to investigate the whereabouts of the gunpowder before it fell into the hands of the owner of the bear village. Therefore, it is advisable for Governor Dong to go to Ma Sanyi's home and Qianzhuang to check.
Dong Zhaozhi pondered and was silent for a while, then turned to the catcher next to him and said: "He Jin, this government orders you to take someone to Ma Sanyi's house to search to see if there is any evidence of his collusion with Jinren, and also investigate Qianzhuang and inquire about Ma Sanyi's current accounts." ”
He Jin took the order and retreated, and took someone on an errand.
Biwen walked in front of Sun Chengyi with a crying voice at this time.
She fell to her knees with a "plop" and said to Sun Chengyi: "Master, Senior Brother was seriously injured by the gangsters in order to track down the gunpowder, please save him quickly." ”
Sun Chengyi saw Liu Ming, who was pale and angry, and his heart was mixed.
Sun Chengyi was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again, he pointed at Biwen and scolded: "Before I retreated to recuperate, I had to tell you, don't act rashly, you are good, you are reckless with a hot head, so you have caused such a defeat." And Fu Shaoxia and Zhao Nuxia also reminded you that you didn't listen to persuasion, and you still spread your anger on others. ”
Biwen silently listened to Sun Chengyi's scolding, she looked back at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing again, and the guilt in her heart rose again.
Dong Zhaozhi and Zheng Xingyuan persuaded Sun Chengyi to let him extinguish the fire, but the matter has come to this point, and it is futile to get angry.
After Sun Chengyi calmed down a little, he asked Biwen if there was a whereabouts of that batch of gunpowder?
Bi Wen wiped her tears, pointed to the bottom of the water and said to Sun Chengyi: "Master, Sister Zhao suspects that the gunpowder is hidden at the bottom of the fast horse gang. ”
After Dong Zhaozhi heard this, he immediately sent a good hand who was familiar with water to the bottom of the boat with an axe and chisel to check it.
When a dozen sailors dived to the bottom of the ship, after some probing, there was nothing at the bottom of the ship except for some straw floating up.
After the sailors finished exploring, they came up to report the underwater situation to Dong Zhaozhi.
When they heard that not a single speck of gunpowder had been found, the faces of everyone present changed drastically.
Dong Zhaozhi looked at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing with shocked eyes, and then said to them: "Two young heroes, what's going on? ”
Zhao Xueqing was originally a disciple of the Long Whale Gang, and she was well aware of the various secret channels of the Water Gang.
So after a little contemplation, she said to Dong Zhaozhi: "Lord Dong, you ask the public to check here to see if there are any secret doors or anything like that." ”
Dong Zhaozhi nodded, and then asked the public to check here.
When the duke touched a bronze figure on the table, the dock suddenly retreated into the tunnel like a drawer.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Dong Zhaozhi completely understood.
He stroked his silver beard and said the thoughts in his heart with a calm expression: "Hmph, the gangsters must have been prepared, when they learned that Liu Ming was tracking the clues of gunpowder, they would plan and lead Liu Ming to be fooled step by step." Later, Fu Shaoxia and the others knew about it, secretly followed up the investigation, and chased the Fast Horse Gang. Tong Dahai knew that the gunpowder could not be transported out at this moment, so he used the mechanism to drop the cargo ship. ”
Dong Zhaozhi's words, everyone present expressed their approval.
In order to prevent the Jin State from using this batch of gunpowder to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, Dong Zhao quickly sent a letter to Beijing to report the matter to Gaozong. On the other hand, the state governments were asked to cooperate to fully arrest the thieves, Xiong Zhuang and Tong Dahai.
Fu Tianpeng, Zhao Xueqing, Zheng Xingyuan and Sun Chengyi also told Dong Zhaozhi that they would do their best in this matter.
Dong Zhaozhi was grateful for the help of several chivalrous warriors.
While several people were negotiating, the official came in to report that Zhang Junzhang, the generalissimo of Hebei soldiers and horses, had arrived outside the door.
Dong Zhaozhi immediately got up when he heard this, and he said to Fu Tianpeng and the others: "Everyone, there is official business in this mansion, so I will leave for the time being." There are places where the hospitality is not good, and I hope you will forgive me. ”
Everyone stood up and returned the salute and told Dong Zhaozhi that he didn't have to be polite.
However, before Dong Zhaozhi got up, he saw more than a dozen people walking in.
The leader was a man with yellow skin, a pointed chin, a few locks of whiskers under his chin, and a pair of small eyes with a cunning light. This person is none other than Zhang Jun.
When Dong Zhaozhi saw this group of people, he said angrily: "Who are you, how did you casually break into the place where the case was handled?" ”
Before Zhang Jun could open his mouth, the minions beside him shouted: "Bold, this is Zhang Junzhang, the generalissimo of Hebei soldiers and horses, you guys still kneel down." ”
Dong Zhaozhi sneered when he heard this: "Dong knelt in the sky, knelt on the ground, knelt on the king, knelt down on his parents, and everything else knelt." ”
When Zhang Jun heard this, he clicked his lips and blew his beard again, and then he walked in front of everyone.
He glanced at everyone present with his small eyes, and of course after seeing Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing, he couldn't help but be furious: "Two small people are actually making waves here. Come on, take them down for me. ”
After that, Zhang Jun's soldiers gathered the tide and killed Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing.
Zhao Xueqing sneered at Zhang Jun with the Chanjuan sword in her hand: "Lord Zhang, you really think that your head has been on your shoulders for too long, you already knew this, hum." ”
Cold sweat appeared on Zhang Jun's forehead, and he touched his neck with his hand unnaturally, he pretended to be calm and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Bold thief, dare to threaten Ben Shuai." ”
Zhao Xueqing raised her eyebrows, and said to Zhang Jun with a cold expression: "Lord Zhang, last time you were ambushed in the pursuit of Hami, if it wasn't for me and Tianpeng to rescue you in time, I'm afraid your head would have already moved by then." Now when you see the two of us, instead of the slightest word of gratitude, you have instructed the soldiers to capture us. If this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will damage Lord Zhang's reputation. ”
Zhao Xueqing's words made Zhang Jun shiver. He kept spitting and spitting, looking very embarrassed.
After a while, Zhang Jun adjusted his mood, and he said to Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing with a hippie smile: "General Fu, General Zhao, you two have a lot of tolerance, Ben Shuai was joking with you just now." ”
Zhao Xueqing snorted coldly, and replied indifferently: "Marshal Zhang just called us a thief, and this time he said that we are generals?" Co-authored Marshal Zhang's child's play with the imperial court, and let two thieves be generals? ”
Zhao Xueqing's words hid needles in the cotton, and secretly ridiculed Zhang Jun's cloudy eyes.
Zhang Jun endured this evil breath in his heart, and he immediately explained to Dong Zhaozhi the intention of this time.
When Dong Zhaozhi heard that Zhang Jun was going to lead someone to chase after Xiong Zhuang and Tong Dahai and others, he looked back at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing.
Zhao Xueqing said: "There is a way to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king." Since Master Zhang is interested in getting rid of thieves and thieves for the court, of course we can't ask for it. Master Dong, you can assist Marshal Zhang from the side. ”
Dong Zhaozhi nodded, and he told Zhang Jun that the Chenzhou Mansion would fully cooperate with Marshal Zhang's anti-thief operation.
Zhang Jun was overjoyed and took his subordinates back to the camp to plan.
On the way back, Zhang Jun's eyes were cold, he quietly drew his sword, this time the thief will be successful, so that he will be ashamed, and then deal with Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing.
