Three days passed in a flash.

On this day, the people of the whole city were talking about it, and the city guard mansion finally recovered from the fox demon case and was about to take over the city defense again.

Li Zhengqi tightened the official uniform on his body, and wrapped the fur around his neck again.

"The weather is freezing so fast, I don't know how many people will freeze to death in the wind and snow this winter?"

Grabbed the Yanling knife on the table, and looked at the hollow ring knife hanging high on the wall.

Looking at the huge hollow knife, it was blown around by the cold wind, and it made a muffled sound.

He looked up and smiled helplessly:

"I, Li Zhengqi, have had such ignorant years, which can be regarded as a stain. ”

As a yamen directly under the city guard, although the change of defense itself is not close to them, it still has to be done symbolically to add some prestige.

So early in the morning, more than 20 people from the top and bottom of the government gathered together.

Master Huo Yingying disappeared the day before yesterday, and he didn't say anything, and he probably followed the third prince to the military department for handover.

So it was their turn to do something else.

The so-called city defense handover on the side of the three princes, judging from the well-known relationship between the two brothers of the Huo family, nine times out of ten they are going to peel the dough.

However, the three princes were present, so they shouldn't be able to fight.

Thinking of this, Li Zhengqi also felt funny.

I don't know when he, the original gentleman, began to care about the intrigue between these big shots?

Shaking his head, putting these thoughts aside, he opened the door, looked at the people outside who were cheering, and said:

"The hour is almost up, let's go, I'll open the way in front, Lao Zhu, you lead the team behind, Lao Lin, you take four people to respond, do you understand?"

All of them learned the new incision, and shouted together:

"Clear!"

The team of people and horses came out one after another, and the journey from the government office to the forbidden bureau was not far.

But no one can understand the bureaucracy.

It's a simple choice to make.

Either they go to the Prohibition Bureau and pick up the people back, or the Prohibition Bureau directly sends the people to the government, how easy? How simple?

But the world is not simple.

The government went to pick up people with great fanfare, and it was the face of the three princes who lost it.

And if the Prohibition Bureau sends people to the door of the government office, the level of the Great Secretary is even higher.

Therefore, Li Hongyi, who directly handled the god catcher, took care of the faces of both sides, and chose Tongqu Avenue and Qinglong Avenue as the transit place for the transfer of prisoners.

"Disgusting bureaucrats!

Lao Zhu followed behind him with an irritable face.

Before he woke up early in the morning, he had to take a group of brothers and go to Qinglong Street to set up the battle, so as not to gather too many onlookers there and miss the right thing when the time comes.

Starting from the government, everyone walked.

The fast catching team is different from the officials of the Forbidden Bureau or the escort sergeant, they are not equipped with horses, how can there be fast arresters running around on horses to handle cases?

That's why it's called a street patrol dog, and it has its own place.

Zhu Bantou glanced at the back of the team, and the city guard army drew two city patrol brigades, a total of forty people, and followed unhurriedly.

"Boss, what do you say, we haven't seen Huang Xiaozi's mother-in-law, just such a woman, how many threats can there be, as for getting so many people?"

Li Zhengqi also glanced at those attendants when he heard this, that was where the old man specially said hello, and he came to station last night.

For the sake of secrecy or for the sake of face, they all wore the green clothes of the government office, and naturally said that it was prepared by the government office.

"You don't have to worry about these haves and don'ts, how to arrange them, how do we do them, who knows what Huang Xiaozi's mother-in-law will look like after turning into a demon?"

As he was talking, the entrance of Qinglong Street in front of him was in sight.

Today, the city defense is handed over, and the street is in a state of three irregularities, and those who do business are clever people.

There was a guy in front of him who was making breakfast porridge, pushing a large soup pot, still hissing and steaming, and apparently there was a charcoal fire buried underneath.

A few passers-by were holding bowls, grabbing a few grains of salt, throwing them into the porridge, sucking and blowing while drinking.

There is also a steamed cake maker on the side, shouting with the porridge seller:

"Delicious rice milk, delicious white rice cakes, and free pickles~ Eh, come and try them all when you pass by~"

When I went out early in the morning, I came with a deflated stomach, and this steaming salty porridge was falling out of the mouth of the people who watched it.

Not to mention that the government is not dedicated to the hunt, who is working hungry these days? Not a disciplined war unit?

Even the captain of the guard army behind him came up and said hello to Li Zhengqi:

"It's still early, why don't we all have a bowl, it's cold this day. ”

Li Zhengqi didn't care, he wasn't interested in eating, but he vaguely felt that today seemed to be too lively, and it was still early in the morning.

But everyone was whetted up, and some small vendors in the distance saw that a large group of people from the military master here had stopped to buy porridge, and they all hurriedly drove the cart around.

So a group of small carts ran back and forth, and almost everyone got a bowl of porridge, a cake, or a cake, and some pickles.

After eating and drinking, Li Zhengqi was already impatient, threw some silver money and went out, and greeted left and right:

"Okay, get out of the way, let's go, don't miss the business!"

Seeing that he raised the unsheathed Yanling knife high, the surrounding carts, pots and pans clanged and ranched, and they all ran to both sides.

One ran too quickly, and a long spoon fell in the middle of the road.

Li Zhengqi was helpless, roughly estimated the weight of the spoon, and stepped forward to pick it up.

The spoon flew steadily through the crowd, but instead of dropping it on the board of the man's car, it smashed the man to the ground.

Li Zhengqi's eyes narrowed, he felt something, but he couldn't understand it for a while.

The team started again, this time the process was smooth, and the big guy soon came to the middle of Qinglong Street.

The guards lined up in three columns on the left and right, guarding the prisoner cart in the middle, and driving the crowd on both sides.

In the distance, the red and black uniforms of the Forbidden Bureau were particularly eye-catching, and the officials also took the lead, and a pair of guards followed behind.

The difference is that almost everyone in the Forbidden Bureau rides horses, and when the two are compared, the government has a weaker momentum.

"Damn, let's just say that we should borrow a horse, it's not a shame!"

Zhu Bantou was very unhappy, and he was even more unhappy when he saw the tall horse in the distance kicking and tapping slowly moving to this side.

"Why didn't they come to the scene, we had to hurry up and take the first step, the face of the master still didn't hold it!"

Next to him was the round-faced fellow, who came up and said:

"Boss, isn't the leader the god catcher, your own people, where else can you throw this face, you can't harm us. ”

Li Zhengqi opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and also saw Li Hongyi himself.

He was dressed in a black-on-black and red-edged official uniform of the Forbidden Affairs Bureau, with a saber dangling around his waist, his beard and sideburns neat, and his face solemn.

Li Zhengqi was a little funny:

"Big brother, is this a change of temperament? Or is the Forbidden Affairs Bureau particularly fostering, this appearance is decent, and it looks completely sloppy and sloppy.

I haven't seen you for many days, and I don't know how my eldest brother is getting mixed up in the Forbidden Affairs Bureau now? Hehe, it should be quite difficult to think about.

I think that when I was in the government, my brothers were not close to him, but they all respected him as a person, but they annoyed him to be a faction. ”

He looked back at his subordinates, and they all gathered together with Zhu Ban and whispered there.

Except for this old Zhu who came together, no one dared to come up and gossip with him, the head catcher.

He smiled self-deprecatingly:

"People have to live like they hate, don't they?"

Seeing that Li Hongyi's old face was about to arrive in front of him, he took two quick steps, greeted him, and hugged his fists:

"Big brother is here. ”

The love is sincere, from the bottom of my heart, I haven't seen it for many days, and I really miss it when I think of the drunken rhetoric at that time.

"Well, Li Zhengqi, the head of the government office, has not been seen for many days, fortunately, fortunately!"

Li Hongyi replied with two sentences without being salty, and pointed behind him:

"The prisoners have already been brought, and it is useless to talk too much, and I am afraid that there will be trouble, so let's start!"

Li Zhengqi was stunned, he didn't even know if the person in front of him was Li Hongyi.

It's completely a look of not approaching people, and half a sentence is too much.

Fortunately, he is no longer the original Li Zhengqi.

Changed to the former ruffian bastard, when he encountered such a situation, even if he didn't turn his face and scold, he would have beaten Li Hongyi into a dead dog in his heart.

But now he is the new head catcher, the new Li Zhengqi.

So he looked at it in amazement, then nodded silently, and beckoned the captain behind him to send someone to push the prisoner cart over.

Li Hongyi was impressed, and he looked at this former colleague with some envy, a brother he didn't know before.

What is the future of Qingguo?

Sure enough, Brother Ping is right, this world can turn around without anyone.

He was a little self-deprecating, but also a little relieved, and the on-the-spot response in an emergency situation can only know the true face of a person.

And Li Zhengqi has completely changed a person.

"But I don't know, how will he deal with it later?"

He thought with some curiosity and some mistaste.

Soon, the prisoner's cart was pushed forward, still with a frame made of fine iron, twice as large as the one that had been picked up from the Punishment Department that day, and four horses were the first to pull it.

What is special is that the entire prisoner cart is surrounded by a thick curtain, and it is difficult to see what it looks like inside.

Li Zhengqi frowned, looked at the God Catcher, and asked:

"What does that mean?"

The god catcher still has an indifferent face:

"The prince and the chief priest are forbidden to fight lawsuits, that's their business, let's do things below, can we still get up and slap the prince in the face?

Besides, swaggering through the market and pulling through the streets, that is the end of the most heinous people.

But the few people inside, everyone knows it well, and everything is still undecided, how can they fall into the ground?"

Li Zhengqi's eyes narrowed, and he heard the meaning of his words.

So he beckoned to the left and right, and the curtain was lifted.

Inside, Huo Yuanlong and the three of them sat in three corners, surrounding Huang Shangwen, who was holding his wife, in the middle.

The sudden light of the sky shook the eyes of several people inside. They all use their hands to cover it.

Li Zhengqi and the captains of both sides checked the identities of the prisoners and handed over the documents. It's officially handed over.

The captains on both sides gave each other a military salute and were about to leave.

Suddenly, a group of people ran in the direction of Xicheng in the distance, but in the winter, they were all shirtless, and their whole bodies were steaming.

A leader and an adjutant in front of him shouted the trumpet in a staggered manner:

"Tempered by a thousand tempers! Tempered by a thousand tempers!"

"Invincible! invincible!"

A group of soldiers shouted after him:

"Go beyond the limits and move forward!"

Everyone at the scene raised their vigilance, and the military department came to such a hand inexplicably, and they didn't know what tricks they were going to play behind.

When they saw a group of officers and guards surrounded in the middle of the road, they merged the original four columns into one column, and the team was stretched out and ran past them.

Everyone felt inexplicable and looked at each other.

These soldiers were all unarmed and shirtless, and they didn't look like they had come to rob prisoners.

Li Zhengqi's nose was sharp, and he smelled the strong smell of wine on those soldiers.

"Drunk like this early in the morning?

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and suddenly he thought of something, and his eyes shrank.

With years of experience and a well-informed past with Li Hongyi, he guessed what kind of game this was.

So his body shook and fell limply to one side.

Sure enough, I saw that the god catcher also softened and lay down with him.

A large area of the surrounding guards, along with the running soldiers, all collapsed to the ground.

All that was left was the untapped horses, snorting and stinking.

Everyone watched as two sturdy men in black descended from the sky, opened the prisoner cart, and quickly picked up several people inside.

The whole process went smoothly without a single delay.

Li Zhengqi fell to the side, his head was next to the god catcher, and said in a low voice:

"How, exactly?"

Li Hongyi was a little distracted, the matter was done, and he should do what he had to do later.

Hearing his brother's question, he smiled lightly:

"What, you see?"

"Nonsense, the spoon that sells porridge weighs two pounds, and it is made of iron, this is the vegetable spoon in the army.

Is there a warm gluten in the porridge, it is colorless and tasteless, and it will be poured when you smell the wine, and you can't make a mistake. ”

Li Hongyi still laughed softly, he suppressed his voice, laughed very heartily, and was also a little sad:

"Well, good, good, you're already a real headcatcher. ”

Li Zhengqi was also quite proud, and complained in a low voice:

"Why don't you call me in advance? ”

Li Hongyi should have been a little moved.

But now, there is only boundless despair and deep self-pity in his heart.

He had already made a decision long before coming here.

This decision would pull him from the clouds to the ground, and then to the ground.

He finally felt the brotherhood, which was wonderful and worth cherishing.

But for him now, everything doesn't matter.

So he exhaled a refreshing breath, watched the white mist roll away on all sides, and said lightly:

"Tomorrow, outside the southern city, Lost Ridge, come alone, I will give you an explanation. ”
