Chapter 169, The Inn Roundup

I heard that the shopkeeper Huang Laosan said that Xin Zhiping was dressed in tatters, but he could easily break off a piece of silver with his bare hands, and he also carried a large bag of yellow and white things with him. This man has torn clothes, high martial arts, and a lot of gold and silver on his back, and a well-dressed accomplice, which is difficult for Niu Zhutou not to connect him with the Jiangyang thief!

The Jiangyang thieves who came out of nowhere are all over the city, and the public arresters of the government have been made into cups, bows, snakes, shadows, grass and trees, as evidenced by the arrest of more than 200 suspicious people before. At this time, this person dressed in tatters like a Huazi appeared in the Fusheng Inn in such a grand manner, how could Niu Zhutou not associate him with the sixteen characters inscribed crookedly on the wall of the living room of the Zhao family's mansion?

Although it is said that people in tattered clothes do not necessarily read less, and those who read less do not necessarily write ugly, but after all, the probability of people in tattered clothes writing crookedly is greater, right? Take 10,000 steps back, even if this is not the Jiangyang thief, the head of the cow catcher does not mind wronging one more person, after all, more than 200 people have been arrested in the county government prison before, and it is not bad to arrest one or two more, right?

Therefore, Niu Catcher sent the catcher surnamed Song to report the news, and he took a few catchers to squat at the Fusheng Inn in the large courtyard structure and wait for reinforcements. Soon, Song Zhukuai came with Ye Hetang, a third-grade master, and three other fourth-grade masters, and then dozens of Zhukuai and hundreds of officers and soldiers, bowed and wounded their knives out of the sheath, and surrounded the Fusheng Inn.

Ye Hetang, the lord of Black Wolf Castle, is a master of the foreign family, wearing green clothes, burly, with a fierce face, big triangular eyes, and three-grade martial arts, known as the first master of Wuyuan County. The night before, Zhao Yongnan, a wealthy man in the city, stole jade and famous paintings from his home, which were stolen by someone under the noses of him and three other fourth-grade masters, and the four of them didn't know it, Ye Hetang lost such a big face, and he was extremely depressed. He vowed to catch the thief in order to wash away his shame.

When Ye Hetang took the piece of silver that was said to have been broken with his bare hands from Niu Catcher's hand, the shock in his heart could be imagined. Ye Hetang thought to himself that he could do such a thing as breaking the silver empty-handed. But looking at the stubble of the silver section, the break is so easy and freehand, even if he gives Ye Hetang another ten years of hard training, he still can't do it.

Niu Zhutou saw the shock in Ye Hetang's eyes, so Niu Zhutou was also shocked, gestured the height with his hand, and asked cautiously: "Lord Ye Bao, can you see it?

Ye Hetang's expression was very painful, and he stretched out two fingers not very surely, "At least the peak of the second grade, and the more likely is the first grade." I believe that I will not be able to withstand three rounds without a helper against him. No wonder he stole something the night before, the four of us didn't feel his presence at all, the gap was too big!"

Niu Zhutou's heart sank instantly, and even Ye Hetang, the number one master of Wuyuan, said this, it was definitely no fun. Niu Zhutou thought about it, and still asked unwillingly: "Lord Yebao, I know that you have always been well-informed, this person's name is Xin Zhiping, Jiangdong Dao."

Renshi, have you ever heard of such a master in Jiangdong Province before?"

Ye Hetang thought for a long time, but still shook his head, "As far as I know, there is no such master named Xin Zhiping in Jiangdong Dao, I think so, Niu Zhutou, you should go and say hello to Lord Hong, and transfer more officers and soldiers! You must bring more bows and crossbows, look at the stubble of this silver, it will be difficult for us to take down this person if there are no three or five hundred people tonight!"

Even the first master of Wuyuan said this, and Niu Zhutou did not dare to slack off, and personally rode to see the county lord Hong Shusheng to explain the situation here. Half an hour later, when Ye Hetang, who was sitting at the counter of the inn, had begun to be anxious, Niu Zhutou rushed back with more than 300 officers and soldiers sweating profusely, and of course, he was followed by the county lord Hong Shusheng and Song Lianshan, the head catcher of Wuyuan County, and more than 100 catchers.

After receiving the report of the cow catcher, the county magistrate Hong Shusheng excitedly crawled out of the concubine's bed, and immediately mobilized all the troops that could be used in Yuping County, except for the more than a dozen catchers who stayed in the county government and more than 200 soldiers who guarded the four gates, all the soldiers who could be mobilized in the county town were transferred, and the Fusheng Inn was surrounded by groups, and it was difficult for these two thieves to fly out of the inn even if they put on their wings.

In the courtyard of the inn, more than a dozen arresters were around the left and right to protect the county master, Yuping County ordered Hong Shusheng to ride on a horse, staring at the door of the second floor of the inn, his two thighs were trembling with excitement, as long as he caught this big thief, the lost property could be recovered, not to mention, more important than those lost things was the official seal! As an official, he couldn't catch the thief, but even the official seal was stolen by the thief, and it was really embarrassing to pass it out! Master Hong Nanting stood aside carrying a lantern, and his face couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy.

Seeing that the bows and crossbows had been set up, Ye Hetang was in a heavy mood and walked lightly with Niu Catcher, three fourth-grade masters and a catcher with a lantern to the second floor, in the corridor on the second floor, the candles in the two lanterns hanging on the wall flickered and dimmed, standing in the corridor outside the door on the second floor, you could clearly see the whole courtyard of the inn. Inside and outside the courtyard, there were all arresters and officers and soldiers with nervous expressions.

Hundreds of fast catchers carried knives, hooks and large nets, guarding the entrance of the building and the roof, and set up a strong bow and crossbow next to it, as long as the thief showed his head, he must be captured, if he can't be caught, the bow and crossbow will be fired into a hedgehog.

Dizi No. 2 room, in the middle of the second floor, Niu Zhutou and others tiptoed to the No. 2 room, Niu Zhutou made a stop gesture, stood outside the door, listened carefully to the movement in the house, and seemed to have nothing but the sound of snoring. Niu Zhutou endured the beating heart, put the key in his hand into the keyhole of the door, gently unscrewed and gently pushed the door, there was no expected hidden weapon flying out of the room, only a clearer snoring sound.

Niu Zhutou and Ye Hetang glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and rushed into the house at the same time, and the three fourth-grade masters behind him also broke into the house, followed by the catcher with a knife in his right hand and a lantern in his left hand. Immediately afterwards, a few screams came out of the second room number, Ye Hetang, Niu Zhutou and the three fourth-grade masters were kicked out of the room and fell to the ground on the first floor.

The catchers were in a panic, only to see a small one staring at the two

With big eyes, a black burden behind his back, a dog-beating stick in his left hand, and a lantern-beating catcher in his right hand like a dead dog, he shouted in his mouth, "Oh, you guys are fat! Dare to come to the inn in the middle of the night to rob your Uncle Xin's silver, are you screwed alive? Dare to love is still a black shop! The shopkeeper quickly get out of the uncle! Are these people your accomplices?"

As he spoke, the little beggar Xin Zhiping threw the lantern catcher downstairs, and he didn't know who roared downstairs, "This big thief is too powerful, release the arrow!" Xin Zhiping, who was standing in the corridor on the second floor, was also taken aback, these thieves shouldn't be poor and crazy, right?

Xin Zhiping puffed up his breath, his tattered clothes and robe sleeves fluttered, he waved a dog-beating stick in his hand, drew an invisible air shield in front of him, and flicked all the crossbow arrows to the ground, Ye Hetang, the master of the Black Wolf Castle who had just gotten up from the ground, had a face like ashes, and the high martial arts of Xin Zhiping who asked for food were completely beyond his cognition, he thought that no matter how bad he was, he could hold out three moves, but he found that he had no power to fight back.

Seeing that the bow and crossbow did not work at all, Niu Zhutou and Ye Hetang were also dumbfounded. In the courtyard of the inn, the county lord Hong Shusheng, who was riding on a horse, was even more shocked, I'm afraid that this guy doesn't know the demon law, right? I heard that the feces and urine can break the demon law, but it is a pity that I came in a hurry before, and I couldn't prepare the dung and urine to break the demon law of this guy. The county magistrate was about to give the order to go to the inn toilet to dig up some feces and urine, but he saw the person who asked for food jumping downstairs with a stick to beat the dog, and knocked over more than ten catches in three or five strokes.

The crowd rushed up with the officers and soldiers, Xin Zhiping shouted, and the cyan qi on the dog beating stick revealed more than a foot, and all the dozens of officers and soldiers and the catchers were thrown to the ground with a stick, and rushed to the county master's horse in the blink of an eye, and pulled the county master off the horse as soon as he stretched out his hand, and the trousers of the master Hong Nanting, who was originally calm, were also wet, so he could only shout with courage: "Slow down! This is the county master! Killing the imperial court officials will be beheaded all over the house!"

Xin Zhiping was holding in his hand the county magistrate Hong Shusheng, who had no power to tie the chicken, with a surprised expression, "What? The county magistrate of this county?" Looking at the Hong scholar in his hand, the little one who asked for food became even angrier, "Your damn dignified county lord actually brought so many people to rob your Uncle Xin's silver?

At the beginning, the county magistrate Hong Shusheng saw that Xin Zhiping was so brave, and he easily overturned dozens of people, and he was really scared and urinated, and his pants were wet. But seeing that this little begging for food only knocked everyone down, it seemed that no one was killed. Only then did Hong Shusheng become bolder, and stammered: "This hero, as long as you return the official seal and stolen goods, this official will treat it as if nothing happened tonight!"

"What official seals and stolen goods? What are you talking nonsense?" Xin Zhiping looked inexplicable, but he didn't embarrass Scholar Hong anymore, and let go and threw him on the ground. Ye Hetang, who wanted to come over to save the county master just now, saw that Xiao Yao's back was facing him, thinking that he had an opportunity, and pounced on him from behind, and as soon as he pounced halfway, the big hole on his waist was hit by a dozen dog sticks on Xiao Yao's meal, Ye Hetang slowly collapsed and fell to the ground, with a very frightened look on his face.
