Even if the wealthy squires in the city have colluded with the government for many years, they are just businessmen in the end. When the platform collapses, they are buried on their backs, and even if the probability is very low, they are not guaranteed to fight as trapped beasts when they are captured.

When Fang Linyuan entered the city, he took the lead in ordering the Sifang City Gate to be blocked.

The rank of the junior general guarding the city gate is very low, and he is just a marginal official in Yanzhou City.

Zhizhou and the guards had an accident, and he had no reason to accompany them, so Fang Linyuan ordered, and he immediately led the crowd to close the city gate, and proposed to secondment some soldiers for Fang Linyuan.

Fang Linyuan roughly examined the scale of Yanzhou City and the number of defenders, and shook his head.

"You don't have to worry about anything else." He said. "But if you let one go, I'll ask you."

"Yes!" The guard hurriedly responded.

Fang Linyuan nodded, and led people to the city with Zhao Pu.

The drill in the camp had just begun in the morning, and now it was only afternoon, and the news had not spread so quickly, so the process of arrest was quite smooth.

However, there are as many as five merchants to be arrested on the list, and in addition to escorting prisoners, there are also warehouses, account books, correspondence and other items that need to be searched.

There were only fifty people under his command, and after capturing the two merchants, Fang Linyuan felt that he was lacking in skills.

If you stay and search first, it is difficult to ensure that the remaining few businessmen will get the rumors and destroy the evidence and flee, but if they are arrested first, they are worried that the first few families will have branches.

At this moment, Zhao Pu stopped beside him.

"If you don't feel at ease, you can take someone to continue the search." He said. "I'll leave these two households to me."

Fang Linyuan looked back at Zhao Pu.

Yanzhou City is not big compared to Shangjing, and there are only a few streets where the powerful and powerful live.

These two families are in the middle of the busiest street, very close to each other.

"Is that okay?" Fang Linyuan asked.

I saw Zhao Pu nodded.

"The two families arrested now are the two largest grain merchants in Yanzhou, and the information I have received shows that they also have the closest contact with Jiang Huaqing." He said. "The evidence here is bound to be the most important, as long as it is accurately in hand, as long as the other rabble can catch people and seal the mansion, it will be enough."

Fang Linyuan pondered for a moment and nodded.

"These two families are complicated, and there are many subordinates, so you keep thirty people." He said.

Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "Keep ten, and you can take the rest." ”

Fang Linyuan was about to say something more, but he heard Zhao Pu lower his voice and say, "I have people under me, and I can guard this street." ”

Fang Linyuan naturally knew who he was talking about.

The people raised by Zhao Pu's subordinates, he was naturally relieved, and besides, Zhao Pu's goblin ability, Fang Linyuan had also learned it earlier.

So, after telling Zhao Pu to pay attention to safety, Fang Linyuan led people to the other three merchants' mansions.

As Zhao Pu said, it was much easier to arrest these three businessmen. Even when one of them was found, the merchant took the initiative to open the door and confess his guilt, and gave all his letters and account books with both hands, asking Fang Linyuan to take it lightly.

After roughly flipping through the account books, Fang Linyuan also had a bottom in his heart.

Many of the grains they bought from unknown sources were offered by the Zheng family, the head of the grain merchants in Yanzhou City, and they bought the grain through the Zheng family according to the price given by the Zheng family, and they did not know where the grain came from.

And the price of grain sales is also arranged by the Zheng family.

They only need to buy and sell according to the Zheng family's instructions, and they can follow them to make profits and make a fortune. If there is a grain store in the city that dares to disobey, then it will disappear in Yanzhou City in two months.

So the five grain stores left behind today are all the only ones of the Zheng family.

Of course, these businessmen are guilty, but the culpability is indeed not to raid their homes and destroy their homes, so they will not fight against Fang Linyuan for the capital crime of murdering Qin Cha.

After that, it was much easier to capture.

After the three merchants took away a few people who were in charge of the grain store, they sealed off the house and sent troops to guard it. When the other two merchants saw that the family had voluntarily confessed their guilt, and after the confession was recorded by the clerk, they followed suit, hoping that the crime would be reduced by one degree in the future.

So, as soon as it was dark, Fang Linyuan escorted the three merchants and the incriminating evidence they handed in, and walked towards the street where Zhao Pu was.

In the north, it always gets dark early, but today the city gates are closed, and the city is full of officers and soldiers, and the streets are especially deserted, and the lights are much dimmer than before.

Fang Linyuan was not afraid of the dark, he led the horse all the way, and was still thinking about the confession and physical evidence that Fang had just gotten.

Today, he can be regarded as having found out the case, all the collusion between officials and businessmen in Yanzhou City, as well as the profit-making methods of the state capital's military camp, have all been investigated and the evidence of the crime has been obtained.

There are so many gains from him alone, and the evidence that Zhao Pu confiscated from those two merchant mansions must be a lot more.

Fang Linyuan kept his eyebrows calm, and couldn't help but think about how to arrange the soldiers and horses for a while, and when to continue the search of the mansions of the remaining three households......

At that moment, a faint sound of breaking through the air interrupted his train of thought.

Fang Linyuan raised his head keenly, his reflexive movements were faster than his thinking, and the saber on his waist was quickly withdrawn, and with only one volley in the air, a crisp sound of splitting sounded from three feet away in front of him.

Someone is in ambush!

The sharp arrow that was shot at him immediately broke and fell, and he immediately raised his voice and ordered quickly and urgently: "Martial law immediately, protect the certified physical evidence!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, there were already dark shadows in all directions, neatly and quickly appearing in his line of sight, swooping towards the ranks of soldiers.

——

Fang Linyuan was immediately surrounded by dozens of black-clothed men with knives.

After only a brief fight, Fang Linyuan realized that they were well-trained.

Every step in his hand was a killing move, fast and neat, so that Fang Linyuan suddenly parried, and he felt a little difficult.

And he also had to devote some energy to protect the account books and merchants in the hands of those soldiers.

These people have not yet been tried, and if they are exterminated, I am afraid that Jiang Huaqing's crimes will be buried.

But......

Fang Linyuan took the knife in one hand, and after blocking the three blades in front of him that were rushing straight towards the door, he quickly turned around and swept away, erasing the neck of a black-clothed man who was silently sneaking towards him behind him.

Jiang Huaqing and Tan Ji are both in prison

In prison, all five merchants were arrested, where did these people come from!

It's just that the current situation can't be figured out by Fang Linyuan.

His long knife danced so tightly around his body that anyone within three feet of him was either dead or maimed. It only took a moment for the black-clothed men surrounding him to fall under his sword, and the rest gradually lost their opponents and retreated a lot.

But at this moment, a whistling came from a distance.

The black-clothed men surrounding him immediately scattered, no longer attacking him, but pounced on the soldiers and prisoners around him.

There are still people commanding in the shadows!

Fang Linyuan didn't care too much, and after his gaze swept over the darkness where the whistling sound came, he immediately stepped forward with a knife to protect the witness.

Three or five black-clothed men pounced on the merchant who was the leader, and Fang Linyuan jumped up, followed closely behind, and slashed down one of them with a sword.

The other two were only a stone's throw away from the merchant.

Fang Linyuan jumped forward again.

But at this moment, the sound of breaking the air came from behind him.

Dark Arrow!

Fang Linyuan was distracted, he couldn't dodge, and when he was about to grit his teeth and take this arrow with his shoulder and arm that was not critical, and save the life of that merchant first, a snow-white figure flashed behind him.

Fang Linyuan slashed down the two black-clothed people with a knife, and when he looked back, he saw that the red blood stained the snow-white brocade robe with gold.

It's Zhao Pu.

The arrow sank into his shoulder socket, and he turned his back to him, blocking Fang Linyuan five feet away.

——

Zhao Pu directly blocked the arrow with his body, and then backhanded a dart, and immediately shot down the archer who shot the arrow.

He turned his head slightly, and saw Fang Linyuan who was stunned in place.

He was looking at him, his eyes flushed red, wet, and looking pitiful.

Zhao Pu gritted his teeth, not to endure the pain, but to endure the urge in his heart to comfort him.

Because there is more than one archer in the shadows.

Zhao Pu turned around, stepped on the blue bricks on the ground and flew straight up, and the moment he stepped on the bricks, two more darts shot into the darkness.

As the darts burst through the air, screams and the sound of heavy objects falling immediately rang out.

He was dressed in white, but he was always the best demon at sneaking in the night.

But in a few breaths, all the archers in the surrounding heights were shot down by him. On tiptoe, he stopped at the top of the building.

The bright moonlight shone a faint light on the bricks and tiles, and he indifferently raised his head and looked at the man in black who was retreating step by step in front of him.

This is the one who leads, and it was he who blew the whistle and ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows at Fang Linyuan.

He wanted to run, but under Zhao Pu's shock, he stepped on a piece of tile under his feet.

With a bang, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Pu in fear.

Zhao Pu didn't know how terrifying he looked at this time.

The golden beast covered his face was like a living monster in the moonlight, and the man in white with a long and jade body, half of his shoulders were soaked in blood, but he didn't realize it, like a Shura demon who crawled out of the underworld and was covered with half of a human skin.

Expressionless, he stepped forward, and then pulled the arrow from his shoulder.

Didn't tremble.

What a monster this is!

The leader of the killers turned and ran, but the next moment the arrow whistled and was thrown by the man with his bare hands, and immediately nailed to the crook of his leg.

The leader of the killers pounces on his back.

The next moment, the man leaped forward and removed his mandibles just as he was about to bite down on the poison.

The moonlight was like silver, shining behind him, but the man under the golden light seemed to have no temperature, and the blood on his shoulder flowed down, as if he didn't feel pain.

Zhao Pu is indeed not afraid of pain.

He grew up in the womb since he was a child, and his sensitivity to pain was lower than that of others, but the threshold of patience was much higher. He learned this skill too early, so that it seemed to grow in his bones, and he was inseparable from his flesh and blood.

So much so that such an arrow wound on his body made him look like a madman who didn't know whether to live or die, a monster without pain.

But there was anger in his cold eyes.

Because he knew how painful this sword would be if it was shot at Fang Linyuan's body.

He had seen Fang Linyuan's body, knife wounds, sword wounds, superimposed on his body as if no one felt sorry for him.

What kind of beast should it be to do something to the bright gods?

And over there, the killer who couldn't beg for death didn't know what shock he was under Zhao Pu's indifferent gaze, and vaguely begged for mercy: "I received my life early, if the adult fails, I will take Fang Linyuan's life for the adult, I am acting according to orders......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a scream of pain in his throat.

He watched as the man pulled a dagger out of his bosom and plunged it into his shoulder socket.

Blood spurted out, but the killer knew it wasn't the point, he couldn't die.

His eyes widened, and he saw that the eyes behind the man's beast face were a little colder, and his voice was a little hoarse, and he asked him, "You dare to mention his name?" ”

The killer didn't know whose name he couldn't mention.

He only saw that after the man stabbed him, he was slightly stunned, and then he realized what he had done, and staggered his gaze to look at the dagger.

The knife was very old, and the gems on it were crude, so it was not a treasure.

But the man's eyes were so distressed as if he was hurting the knife, and he was pitying with a cold and soft compassion, which was very deep, as if he was looking at his lover.

But he took such a deep arrow, and his face didn't change!

The next moment, he heard the man speak again.

Calm and indifferent, but so cold that people can't help but fear and tremble, as if the soul was grabbed by demons, slowly pulled out of his body, and tore apart inch by inch.

Under the moonlight, the blood soaked in the man's shoulder seemed to be cold, but the eyes that looked at the knife seemed to be a glimmer of light jumping in the depths of the ice.

"How dare you get my knife dirty."

I only heard the man's voice be cold, speaking softly and slowly. Please keep in mind: , URL mobile version,
