Yan Dongsheng was talking, but he secretly strengthened his hand, holding Chu Zhenglong's hand, and wanted to control Chu Zhenglong. After all, this person was an eyewitness to the murder scene, and he said that the dart leader, the dart master, the executioner, and the buddy of the dart team were all dead, and this person and his friends were inseparable, and who could prove that this person was not a murderer? The dart team had killed so many brothers, and it was not known whether the goods had been robbed, so how could this person be let go at this moment? Yan Dongsheng was really anxious, and wanted to leave, but there was no door!

Yan Dongsheng, the head of the Tongcheng Dart Bureau, who is tall and full of tendons, thought about it in his heart, this Chu Zhenglong's martial arts are at least second-grade, and if he uses martial arts, the victory or defeat of both sides should be in five or five, if it is a heads-up, it is not difficult for this person to escape. However, at this time, it was in Xuantong County, and the Yan family had been operating in Xuantong for decades, and there were people on the black and white roads, and fortunately the Hou Bantou of the Yamen was still there, so I didn't believe that this person surnamed Chu dared to resist arrest! There was also a group of dart masters who were resting in the dart bureau, and it should not be difficult for everyone to work together to take down Chu Zhenglong.

Cheng Changzhuang, who was standing on the side, looked embarrassed, and felt very uncomfortable, thinking that we were also confused about the affairs of the head of the dart, and did not talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes at all, but only cared about ourselves. People are kind enough to send you a message, but you suspect their motives, and want to rely on the power of our dart bureau to take them down, do people owe you? Can't you not come to report this letter to you? Even if you want to keep people and ask for clues in detail, you have to be polite and polite, right? Even if your Yan family is very powerful in Xuantong County, you can't do this!

Chu Zhenglong's face was pale, and his hands were also strengthened, could it be that my surname Chu wants to leave, just a few of you can leave me? The clear-eyed people have already seen that these two people are secretly competing, and Hou Bantou gave his subordinates a look, and they were ready to come up together to get people. Heads-up may not be your opponent, but what the catchers are best at is group fighting, not to mention the help of the chief dart head of the Tongcheng Dart Bureau?

Just when the big war was about to break out, there was a coughing sound that shook everyone's eardrums from inside the gate of the dart game, although it was only a cough, but the sound was extremely loud, and everyone present was stunned, this cough brought out a very strong signal, that is, this person's martial arts are extremely high. Even Yan Dongsheng and Chu Zhenglong, who were secretly competing, stopped their hands together and looked towards the gate of the dart game.

I saw an old man dressed as a rich man, with crane hair and a red face, striding out of the gate, the old man was not angry and arrogant, with two shiny iron galls in his hands, followed by two young men in Tsing Yi. Yan Dongsheng hurriedly let go of his hand, greeted the old man, and said with a smile on his face: "Dad, why did you come out? There is something going on here in the dart game, my son will deal with it here, you should go back to practice kung fu!"

It turned out that the old man dressed as a rich man was the founder of Tongcheng Dart Bureau, the old dart head Yan Jihe. The iron gall in Yan Jihe's hand turned faster and faster, and his voice was extremely majestic: "Sheng'er, I have seen and heard it, but you are not doing it right!" The old dart head turned two iron galls in his hand, looking at his son's eyes with cold light. Yan Jihe handed the iron gall in his hand to a young man in Tsing Yi behind him, pointed to the gold-lettered plaque of the dart bureau with his right finger, and asked loudly: "Sheng'er, what is the basis for our Tongcheng Dart Bureau to be based on Jiannan?"

Yan Dongsheng saw that his father was angry, so he had to snort: "Make friends all over the world!"

Yan Jihe, the old dart head, angrily reprimanded: "I have been watching for a long time in the back, and this Chu friend is not related to us, but he can come to help us convey a message, which shows that he is an extremely righteous person! But not only do you not know how to thank others, but you also want the yamen to arrest him and take him away without any evidence? How can you be like this? Isn't this a revenge for kindness? As the saying goes, courtesy travels all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without being rude! Could it be that the Tongcheng Dart Bureau founded by your father did something like you? Doesn't it make the people of the world laugh at it!"

Yan Dongsheng was reprimanded by his father in public, his face was blue and red for a while, and he was extremely sad. Ten years ago, when you said that you retired and handed over the affairs of this dart bureau to me to take care of, you had already promised that you would never interfere in the affairs of the dart bureau from now on, but today you slapped me in the face in public, so many darts in the dart bureau, dart masters, executioners, and guys are watching, and the head of the yamen is also watching, and these people who are watching are also watching.

Yan Jihe turned around and bowed his hand to Chu Zhenglong: "Friend Chu, thank you for bringing the message, I, Yan Jihe, thank you! Your friend, I Yan Jihe has made a deal! If you are not busy, please go to the back house of the house to have a light meal before leaving, there is something at home today, the hospitality may be a little poor, the dog is also anxious because of the dart, offended you, you have a lot, don't take it to heart, I will teach him a good lesson when I go back!" Friend Chu rest assured, as long as I, Yan Jihe, what happens in the future, it is my Yan family's business, and we and the yamen will solve this matter, and we will never dare to drag Friend Chu down! Friend Chu, please go to the house and have some light meals, please!"

The old dart head Yan Jihe invited Chu Zhenglong to the house, these words made Chu Zhenglong's heart warm, Chu Zhenglong was originally a righteous person, otherwise he would not have come to send a letter to the dart bureau without relatives and no reason.

Chu Zhenglong also hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "Old darthead, you are too polite to say this! Alas, this matter is also to blame Chu, since you are here to help, you should help to the end! Don't be in a hurry to eat in advance, there is such a big thing in the dart game, I'm afraid none of us are in the mood to eat, my friends are still guarding the scene of the incident by the river on the official road, guarding the bodies of the dart masters of the dart bureau, I will lead the way in front, let's hurry up, rush to the river, and go to see what is going on! It is better to find out the truth as soon as possible and avenge the dart masters!"

Yan Jihe arched his hand again and said: "In this way, thank you for the kindness of Chu's friends!" Yan Jihe turned back to Yan Dongsheng's apprentice Liu Dali and instructed: "Dali, go to the back house to prepare some food and wine, Chu's friend's friend is guarding the body by the river, he must also be very hungry, people are iron, rice is steel, how can he not eat?

Yan Jihe, the old dart head, turned around again, and said with a smile to Hou Bantou: "Hou Bantou, I haven't seen you for a few days! You see, there is no way to do anything about the life-threatening affairs of the dart bureau, and it just so happens that you are here today, please bring a few brothers from the yamen to help us take a look at it at the same time, this kind of thing is the best if there are people from the yamen! If you want to solve the case when you go back, it is indispensable to trouble you and the brothers!"

Hou Bantou knew that this old man had a good relationship with the county guard, but it was not easy to refute his face, so he pretended to be polite. Yan Dongsheng stood on the side, feeling really uncomfortable, he took over his father's class, although the family is not a very high-status official family rich businessman, but it can barely be regarded as a pampered rich second generation. Although he practiced martial arts diligently, his father laid him the foundation of the family, and he usually took care of the affairs of the dart bureau, and his subordinates did it, and he had to ask his father about major things, so he didn't have his father's skill in handling things.

Yan Jihe stepped forward, took Hou Bantou's hand affectionately, but quietly stuffed a piece of silver into Hou Bantou's hand, and said in a low voice: "The incident happened suddenly, and I ask the team leader to help me a lot, and I will thank you for turning around! Don't worry, the brothers who come will not be empty-handed, and the dart bureau will definitely show something! Now the top priority is to rush to the scene of the incident outside the city to see if there are any clues to solve the case at the scene!"

Hou Bantou pinched the silver with twenty taels in his hand, his heart was overjoyed, and he quickly put the silver into his arms, and laughed: "Oh, the old dart head is too polite! You see, if such a big thing happens in the dart bureau, the yamen will definitely take care of it, ah, the old dart head can rest assured, the yamen has the responsibility to protect the territory and the people, and will never let a person die in vain!"

Yan Jihe said thank you, and instructed Cheng Changzhuang to accompany Yan Dongsheng with more than 30 dart masters, executioners and men to the scene of the incident, Cheng Changzhuang and the dead dart head Cheng Hongli are the family, and Cheng Changzhuang is a fine person, and he is far more stable than Yan Dongsheng, so Yan Jihe has full authority to entrust Cheng Changzhuang to be responsible for the aftermath, and let people prepare a coffin to be buried.

Chu Zhenglong rushed to the scene of the incident with everyone, and Hou Bantou also took more than a dozen catchers to go with him, and the dozen or so catchers came on foot, and the dart board prepared horses. Yan Jihe also arranged for two experienced dart masters to go to the yamen with the two left-behind catchers to officially report the case, and went to the county guard yamen to meet the county guard, after dark, the four gates were closed, and it was impossible to enter and exit the city gate without the county guard and the Xuantong general's edict, especially this Xuantong general Shui Rulong is the uncle of the king of Wei, and he couldn't be offended, so he had to hurry up and say hello first.

Before going to meet the county guard, Yan Jihe ordered people to buy more wine and food quickly, and when these people came back, it was midnight, so they had to eat and drink. The old man is seventy years old, and when he encounters such a major event, he still has to work hard in person, and it is really difficult for him, there is no way, who will let the birth of a son not be angry, and the second and third sons are not around? Yan Jihe's second and third sons, one in Luye City, the other in Jiangzhou County, the general number is in the hands of the eldest son Yan Dongsheng.

Before dark, Chu Zhenglong finally rushed to the Tongcheng River thirty miles outside the city with the people from the dart bureau and the yamen, and his friends were waiting for everyone to arrive. Although everyone had already been mentally prepared after hearing Chu Zhenglong talk about the tragic situation at the scene, Yan Dongsheng and the others who were present were still taken aback. Among the dead, the only body that was still intact was Wang Yuping, who died by the river, but his head was smashed by a palm. The rest of the people were almost all dismembered, and there were broken steel knives and corpse pieces all over the place.

Yan Dongsheng looked at Wang Yuping's smashed skull, and was terrified, even if he was close to the second-grade martial arts realm, he didn't have the ability to shoot Wang Yuping's head like this with one palm. Look at how strong these monsters should be even if they have been torn apart and torn apart? Even if Yan Dongsheng himself confronts these monsters, he is afraid that he will definitely be more than lucky! Even Cheng Hongli's famous proud weapon, the nine-section whip, was torn into nine sections and pinched flat.

The dart game everyone even caught fast, saw such a miserable scene, they were also frightened, some people couldn't help but squat aside and vomited, the scene was outrageous, it seems that what the dart master said before he died is true, this is definitely not human. Hou Bantou has been in the yamen for more than 20 years, and he has survived to today's team, has seen many murder scenes, and is a person who has seen big scenes, but today's events are far beyond his cognition.

Looking at Wang Yuping's death, these legendary monkey monsters with blue faces and fangs must have jumped out of the river, but what are these monsters? And the dart cart escorted by the dart team is intact, and there is no loss of goods, which shows that these monsters are just killing people, not robbing money and goods, so where did these monsters come from, and what are the pictures of killing the dart team and the dart masters? And in this case, no one else was killed, and the deceased were all from the Tongcheng Dart Bureau, could it be that the Tongcheng Dart Bureau offended "them" somewhere?

Some darts and men whispered, "These blue-faced and fanged monsters didn't rob their property, they didn't even move the dart sheets, they and the horses died like this, I'm afraid they didn't hit some evil ghosts?" Everyone looked at Hou Bantou and the catchers, and they didn't dare to move the body yet, and they had to wait for the officials to inspect the scene and make sure that no important evidence was missing.

Hou Bantou was confused, walked forward, stood on the bank of the river and looked at the gently flowing river in a daze, unconsciously, a bright moon had slowly risen from the opposite sky, a gust of fishy wind blew, Hou Bantou shivered. Suddenly, a catcher named Luo Ziwang shouted loudly: "Hou Bantou, Hou Bantou, come and see! I have made a new discovery!" Hou Bantou was in high spirits, and hurriedly took three steps and two steps, and came to Luo Ziwang's side.

Luo Ziwang held a lantern in his hand, his face changed color with excitement, and he pointed to a corpse and said: "Team leader, look at it! There is a white crescent mark behind the right ear of this corpse, and you can see again, this corpse also has this white crescent moon mark behind its right ear! I have checked four or five corpses, all of them have this logo, team leader!"

Hou Bantou and everyone were all in high spirits, and immediately gathered, lit lanterns, and checked the back of each corpse's right ear, and sure enough, there was a white crescent sign, and the crescent mark was the size of a fingernail, and it couldn't be found if you didn't pay attention. Hou Bantou gasped, what does this crescent moon sign mean? Could it be that these people have offended some ghost in the river, so they have been retaliated against?

The moonlight was hazy, and more than a dozen lanterns were lit on the official road by the river beach, and everyone's hearts were clouded. Hou Bantou was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horses' hooves on the official road in the direction of the county town, and the earth shook. Everyone turned around, only to see the lanterns and torches in the distance shining like a long dragon, Hou Bantou breathed a sigh of relief, it should be the reinforcements from the county yamen arrived.

The horse team drew closer and closer, and the lanterns and torches shone as brightly as day. I saw that the leader was a heroic young general, riding a white horse, wearing armor but not wearing a helmet, about twenty years old, tall and handsome, there was a very eye-catching red mole between the eyebrows, carrying a Yanling knife, Hou Ban recognized it at a glance, this is the Xuantong general Shui Rulong, that is the uncle of King Wei, even the county guard has to give him seven points of face.

Hou Bantou hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Shui Rulongma, and said loudly: "Hou Changqing, the head of the Yamen squad of Xuantong County, see General Shui!"

Shui Rulong sat on the horse and said lightly: "Get up and talk, how is the on-site investigation? Are there any clues?" Although Shui Rulong didn't speak loudly, the words clearly reached everyone's ears, and everyone was shocked, this young water general's martial arts are really not low!

It turned out that Yan Jihe went to the county guard yamen to ask for help from the county guard Lord Qi Changzhi, and explained to the county guard what happened to the dart team. As soon as Qi Changzhi heard that there was such a big lawsuit under his rule, his legs trembled in fright, and he was dumbfounded, so he had to call someone to invite General Shui. General Shui's thighs are thick, that is King Wei's brother-in-law, and if something happens, General Water will be able to share at least half of the pressure. Yan Jihe and Qi Changzhi were discussing, and his subordinates hurriedly arrived with Shui Rulong.

Qi Changzhi stepped forward, took Shui Rulong's hand, and said in a loud voice: "Oh, General Shui, you're here! It's a big deal, there is a big life lawsuit in our county, and dozens of lives of a dart team are gone, just by the Tongcheng River thirty miles east of the city!

As soon as Shui Rulong heard that there was such a thing, his eyes immediately widened, and such a big thing happened under his rule, so what was it worth? Shui Rulong asked Yan Jihe about the situation, comforted Yan Jihe and the county guard a few words, and immediately returned to the Xuantong General's Mansion, ordered 200 cavalry, and rushed to the river beach thirty miles east of the city to see what was going on.

Hou Bantou stood up and said respectfully: "General Qiyu, just now Luo Ziwang found a white crescent-shaped mark behind the right ear of the corpse, the white crescent mark is about the size of a person's fingernail, and the humble position is taking someone to inspect it, and the dozen or so corpses currently inspected have this white crescent mark behind the right ear!

Shui Rulong was quite surprised, turned over and jumped off the horse, and a personal soldier came to hold the war horse, Shui Rulong and Hou Bantou came to the corpse and carefully examined the white crescent mark behind the right ear of each deceased. After a while, Shui Rulong, whose face was solemn, sighed, "This matter, it seems that we can't solve it! Without further ado, hurry up and report it to the Wei Wangfu, and let the people of the palace solve it! The dead are the greatest, collect the corpses of these people, and it will be done!"
