Episode 156: Winning streak
Liu Ming was seriously injured, and there were no clues to the gunpowder, which made Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing feel the insidiousness and cunning of the enemy.
For the sake of the border pass of the Great Song Dynasty, the two decided to continue to trace the traces of gunpowder and completely eradicate the mastermind behind the scenes.
After Fu Tianpeng sent a message to Xu Changhai Feige, he soon received a reply.
Xu Changhai told Fu Tianpeng in the letter and asked him to go to the winning streak gambling house in Chenzhou City to find out the situation.
In the evening of the same day, after the two simply filled their stomachs, they put on the appearance of merchants and went straight to the winning gambling house.
After arriving at the streak gambling house, I saw such a crowd of people and unusual noise.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing stood aside, paying close attention to each gambler's movements.
The two observed for a long time, and Zhao Xueqing found a person wearing a purple satin cardie in the westernmost corner, he made a bold shot, and after losing more than a dozen games in a row, his face was not red, his breath was not breathing, and his expression was very calm.
Zhao Xueqing paid close attention to this person, and then said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, this purple-clothed person is very suspicious, he has lost many times in a row, and he can still calm down, and it must be very easy to think of the way to come to this money." ”
Fu Tianpeng nodded, and he quietly told Zhao Xueqing that we should keep an eye on this person.
It was agreed that Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing also placed bets in the gambling house, so as to avoid the attention of others.
After an hour passed, the purple-clothed gambler lost a lot, he cursed, raised his foot and walked out of the gambling house.
Before going out, the shopkeeper nodded and smiled at this person: "Master Xiong, you go slowly, welcome to come often." ”
The man in purple rolled his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and glared at the shopkeeper fiercely with slanted mung bean eyes.
After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw the man in purple go out, they also followed closely out of the gambling house.
The man in purple swaggered through the market, kicking and kicking, swaggering forward while shouting and scolding the vendors along the street.
The man's cloudy face was somewhat sunny at the moment.
He picked up a twist flower from a stall and stuffed it into his mouth.
The man then said to the stall owner: "I will give you this hemp money later." ”
The hawker waved his hand again and again, and said with a smiling face: "Master Xiong is willing to eat my twist flowers, that is to give me face, how can I not know what to do, and I don't care if you ask for money?" ”
When the man in purple heard this, he grinned and laughed loudly and left.
After the man in purple left the market, none of the vendors along the street did not scold him behind his back.
After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing saw the scene in front of them, they helped the vendor clean up the mess and inquired about the situation of the man in purple by the way.
Fu Tianpeng paid for a twist flower, broke half of it and handed it to Zhao Xueqing. He took the opportunity to praise the delicious twist flowers and said to the stall owner: "Uncle, what kind of person is Shicai, why is he so barbaric and domineering?" ”
The old man who sold twist flowers was pale, and he took a "puff" on the ground.
He told the two that this person was called Xiong San, and he was the brother of the owner of the Flying Bear Village. This person is idle all day long, deceived and abducted, and does everything that lacks virtue, but he doesn't do good things.
After listening to the old man's story, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing thanked him and left the market in a hurry.
After hearing Xiong San's residence, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing used light skills to climb over the wall and enter Xiong San's house.
At this moment, Xiong San was lying on the table, playing with a box in his hand.
After Xiong San opened the box, he still scolded and said: "That surnamed Xiao is really not a thing, let Lao Tzu transport such a dangerous thing, and actually gave me a box of jewelry." Now there is only half a box left, and Lao Tzu can't gamble anymore, otherwise there is no hope for the rest of his life. ”
Xiong San was talking to himself, put on his hat, put on his coat, and prepared to go out.
At this moment, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing pushed the door in.
Xiong San saw two knights with swords on their backs at first glance, and he trembled with fright.
He held the table in his hand and said to Fu and Zhao tremblingly: "You...... You guys...... Who are you? ”
Fu Tianpeng stepped forward and grabbed Xiong San's collar and pushed him to the ground.
His handsome face flushed with anger.
Zhao Xueqing drew her sword out of the sheath, raised her eyebrows, and said to Xiong San: "Xiong San, if you tell the truth today, we can let you live, and if you hide it at all, you will be killed immediately." ”
After saying that, Zhao Xueqing put Chanjuan's sword on Xiong San's neck.
After Xiong San felt the cold blade, he was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.
He kowtowed, and told Fu and Zhao earnestly that he must know everything and say everything.
Zhao Xueqing nodded, and asked straight to the point what is the relationship between him and the owner of Xiong Zhuang?
Xiong San told Zhao Xueqing that the owner of Xiong Zhuang was his brother.
Subsequently, Zhao Xueqing asked Xiong San if he was involved in the delivery of gunpowder?
Xiong San nodded again and again.
Zhao Xueqing then asked Xiong San, where is the batch of gunpowder that wants to transport the Jin Kingdom hidden now?
Xiong San shook his head again and again when he heard this, and he told Zhao Xueqing that he didn't know where the gunpowder was hidden now?
Zhao Xueqing's face was angry when she heard this, and she scolded Xiong Sanzang for being treacherous and careful about her head.
Xiong San was so frightened that he cried and communicated, and he told Fu and Zhao in a pleading tone that he was helping to carry gunpowder onto the ship, and he didn't know anything else.
After Zhao Xueqing finished questioning, she hit Xiong San's acupoint, and then tied him up.
Xiong San begged Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to let him go, Zhao Xueqing replied to Xiong San with a sneer, what he did had violated the country's righteousness, and the two did not take his life on the spot, and they had already cheapened him.
After leaving Xiong San's house, Fu Tianpeng asked Zhao Xueqing, what should he do next?
Zhao Xueqing said: "Brother Tianpeng, Xiong San is not a person who keeps secrets, at the moment he is a witness, and he must be handed over to Governor Dong's mansion." ”
Fu Tianpeng nodded, and then said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, I will send a message to inform Governor Dong." ”
After Fu Tianpeng sent the signal, half an hour later, Dong Zhaozhi rushed over with a team of catchers.
Dong Zhaozhi hugged his fists at the two, dismounted and said to the two: "Two knights, you found the clues so quickly? ”
Fu Tianpeng said: "Lord Dong, Xiong San, who participated in the transportation of gunpowder, has now been held by the two of us, and the others are in the house. ”
Dong Zhaozhi immediately led someone to arrest him, but the moment he opened the house, he found that Xiong San's head was tilted downward, and his breath was gone.
Dong Zhaozhi saw that Xiong San was dead, and he was about to step forward to investigate the situation, but at this moment, the back window suddenly opened, and a black-clothed gangster raised his hand, and several beads flew towards Dong Zhaozhi.
Seeing this, the crowd shouted one after another: "Protect Lord Dong." ”
The beads exploded in front of and behind everyone, and several catchers who were blocking Dong Zhaozhi fell to the ground, and Dong Zhaozhi was also hit by the broken beads, and his chest was injured.
After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing noticed the abnormality in the house, they immediately probed the situation around.
When the two saw the gangster outside the window, they immediately blocked his way back.
When the gangster saw Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing stepping forward, he "flirted the wings of the evil eagle", shook his arms, and threw out dozens of beads.
Fu Tianpeng saw the bead and said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, be careful, this is the Fire Thunder Bead." ”
They have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they have long known the domineering of the Fire Thunder Bead.
When the two saw the fire and thunder beads coming, a "iron arch hugging the bridge" bent down to let the beads pass, and then quickly turned over and came to the gangster with agile footwork.
As soon as the gangster touched his waist, the fire and thunder beads had already been fired. In desperation, he faced Fu Tianpeng with a punch and kick.
Fu Tianpeng changed his body shape and switched footwork, he was as fast as a spirit ape, as sharp as a rabbit, and came behind the villain in the blink of an eye.
Fu Tianpeng grabbed the gangster's arm in a style of "bangs and chopping", and then leaned back and twisted his two arms out of the mortar.
The gangster grinned in pain, and when he raised his leg, he kicked Fu Tianpeng in the lower abdomen.
Taking advantage of Fu Tianpeng's dodge, the gangster retreated to the corner.
He grinned at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing, with a weird smile on his face.
The gangster told Fu Tianpeng that he wanted to capture him alive in the next life.
After the villain finished speaking, he concentrated his anger on his forehead. His face was like a stream of water that could not be dredged, and it was getting redder and redder because of the accumulation of true qi.
Soon, the gangster fell to the ground and died immediately because of the collision of true anger.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing shook their heads again and again, and said with a sigh: "Now the clue has been interrupted again. ”
With the help of everyone, the injured Dong Zhaozhi walked forward slowly.
Faced with the clues that were finally discovered, and disappeared like this, his heart was full of hatred.
Dong Zhaozhi scolded angrily: "What a sinister and treacherous villain. ”
He was so angry that he rushed to the wound, and everyone saw that blood oozed from Dong Zhaozhi's chest.
Seeing the injured Dong Zhaozhi, Zhao Xueqing stepped forward and whispered to Dong Zhaozhi: "Master Dong, there is another plan at the moment, maybe it will work." ”
After Dong Zhaozhi heard this, his condensed frown stretched.
Zhao Xueqing told Dong Zhaozhi that this plan was a little aggrieved for adults.
Dong Zhaozhi said with a straight expression: "Dong is deeply favored by the emperor and should serve the country. Zhao Nuxia has nothing to say. ”
Zhao Xueqing analyzed the current situation for Dong Zhaozhi, and she believed that the gangsters attacked behind behind one after another, indicating that he was hiding somewhere in Chenzhou or somewhere near Chenzhou. The gunpowder was transported to the Jin country, and the road was far away, and it was easy to get into trouble. Therefore, the best way is to refine it in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and then hand it over to the Jin masters who infiltrated it, and they will get in touch with the Jin generals who are besieging the city, which is the safest way to safe.
Dong Zhaozhi nodded again and again after hearing Zhao Xueqing's words, and he said: "Yes, when I think about it, I also think that the gangsters will definitely use a way to hide from the world." ”
In order to make the case clear, Dong Zhaozhi said to Fu and Zhao categorically: "No matter what price is paid, no matter what method is exhausted, I will arrest these wicked people who have done evil." ”
Hearing Dong Zhaozhi say this, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing were very happy in their hearts. It is also a blessing for the people to have such officials in Chenzhou.
Zhao Xueqing's strategy is to make a plan, she asked Dong Zhaozhi to make a heavy injury that cannot be cured, waiting for the chaos in Chenzhou, when the gangsters take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and then surprise them and capture them in one fell swoop.
Dong Zhaozhi agreed with Zhao Xueqing's plan very much, they arranged it and released the news, just waiting for the gangsters to throw themselves into the net.
