"Oh, what did Miss Liu think?" Ghost Face pondered, "If these twenty-six people are fake tax collectors, then they don't match the number of tax clothes and tax cards?"

"If you add Luo Bei and the three murderers who killed Little Potato, isn't it exactly thirty people?" Liu Ningshi made a bold idea. ”

"How did Miss Liu decide that this Luo Bei was a fake tax collector?" Ghost Face shook his head and said, "There seems to be no conclusive evidence for this. ”

"This Luo Bei once went to Li Laoshi's wonton shop to cheat taxes, and was seen by the shopkeeper and saw a vermilion birthmark on the back of his right hand. Liu Ningshi's eyes were full of determination: "Besides, Luo Bei's appearance and his local accent are the same as what Xiao Er said." ”

"Accent?" Ghostface was puzzled.

"The three burly men I saw had fought with me, and he didn't speak with a local accent. Liu Ningshi continued: "Although I don't know what the relationship between these three people and the people of the Ping Barbarian Army is, I can also conclude that they are accomplices from the fact that the burly man secretly went to the household department to return the real tax card. ”

"Well, with the scale of Jinling City, it really needs to reach the number of thirty people, and Luo Bei must know this. Ghost Face nodded in agreement: "As long as you catch these people, and then let the deceived shopkeeper identify people, you can find out whether they are cheating on taxes." ”

"Then should we arrest Luo Bei now?" Liu Ningshi stood up, waiting for the decision of the ghost face.

"Those twenty-six people are gone, and it must be futile to arrest Luo Bei at this time. As soon as the ghost face was halfway through his words, there was a knock on the door of the guard: "My lord, there is your flying pigeon to pass the book." ”

"Come in!" a red-clothed guard pushed open the door and handed the book to Ghostface.

"Huh?" Ghost Face looked at the handbook and was overjoyed: "Take a team of people with me to the East City Gate, and Miss Liu will go with you." ”

"Brother Ren, what's going on?" Liu Ningshi was very surprised: "Do you just let these fake tax collectors go?"

"How come?" Ghost smiled mysteriously: "Miss Liu will know if she goes, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”

At three o'clock in the hour, it was almost time to close the city gate; there was almost no endless crowd in front of the east gate, and it seemed very deserted; several soldiers in front of the city gate were also dozing with spears, and they closed the city gate as soon as the hour of Shen arrived.

Another group of carriages slowly marched towards the city gate, the first of them riding a maroon horse from the Western Regions, dressed in the errand clothes of the household, with no expression on his pale face;

"The one on horseback?" a soldier with a spear said, "Who are you, dismount and be examined?"

"We are from the household department, and we are ordered by Lord Sha to go out of the city to deliver goods. The leader was Luo Bei of the household, and he turned over and dismounted and came to the soldiers: "You see, the time to close the city gate is approaching, if you check it, don't miss the time." ”

"It's from that department, and if you want to get out of this door, you have to be inspected. Another soldier stepped forward and stopped in front of Luo Bei with two spears crossed with the soldier who spoke.

"This Luo Bei, what a fool, Bai has been in the household for so many years, wouldn't it be over if he stuffed some silver into the soldiers!" a burly man hidden in front of the front of the right side of the first carriage scolded secretly in his heart.

"Why are you two guys so blind?" The fat man on the futon stepped forward and pointed at the soldier and scolded: "Brother Luo is a popular person in front of Lord Langsha, the left attendant of the household department, what else to check, let him go quickly." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Huang. Luo Bei hugged his fist towards the fat man: "The official business is urgent, Luo will take the first step, and then invite Brother Huang to drink when he comes back." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. The fat man patted Luo Bei's shoulder: "Don't forget what you said, I only go to the Drunken Wind Building." ”

"Haha, definitely, we won't get drunk when the time comes. Luo Bei stepped on the horse and beckoned: "Let's go." ”

The horse team slowly walked out of the city gate, and the burly man in disguise also breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart: "Fortunately, this Luo Bei knows the city gate official." ”

"The hour has come at four o'clock, and the city gate is closed. At the moment when the horses were out of the city gate, the shouts of soldiers sounded behind them.

"Squeak! squeak!" The two iron gates of the east gate closed tightly under the push of the two soldiers.

The convoy didn't take two steps out of the city gate, and eight black-clothed people appeared in a herringbone shape to block the way, and a gray-clothed man walked out of the center of the black-clothed people, with a grim face, staring coldly at Luo Bei.

"Who are you, who dare to stand in the way of the officials of the household department?" Luo Bei pointed at the gray-clothed man with the horsewhip in his hand and shouted sharply.

"Don't pretend anymore, you bastards who have brought disaster to the country and the people, deceived the shops to collect taxes and silver, and framed my Su family later, I will take you all down today. The man in gray said in a cold voice word by word.

"This person is the head of the Su family, don't be entangled with him, it's important to get down to business. The first man on the left side of the horse team entered the secret passage towards Luo Bei.

"Su Xing, you, a criminal in the imperial court, dare to block the road and rob. Luo Bei shouted behind him: "All the soldiers obey the order, the two people in front stay to protect the convoy, and the rest of the people kill the enemy together." ”

"Yes!" the six household tax guards pulled out the bright half-moon knife from the carriage and rushed forward.

"Block them. The black-clothed man beside Su Xing did not hesitate, except for leaving two to protect Su Xing, the rest were one to catch and kill one against the other.

"Jingle bell. The long sword of the man in black collided fiercely with the half-moon knife of the tax difference, but after all, they were ordinary family guards, where could they match the fierce barbarian army under Luo Bei, and it didn't take long for a black-clothed family member to be slashed in the left arm with a knife.

"Squeak. The originally closed city gate was somehow opened again, and Ghost Face and Liu Ningshi surrounded the horse team with a team of court guards: "Luo Bei, you can't catch it yet." ”

"Brethren of the Barbarian Army, this is the time to wait. Luo Bei looked at the Tingwei who rushed forward, and shouted, and the twenty men from the Tianfeng blacksmith shop who were ambushed outside the city gate rushed out with half-moon knives in hand and fought with Tingwei.

"My lord, should we go up and help? A soldier holding a spear at the gate looked at the scuffle in front of him and felt an urge to try.

"Help you get bigger, don't die anymore?" The fat gatekeeper patted the back of the soldier's head with a light palm: "In his position, your mission is to guard the city gate, not to fight, and what to do, close the city gate." ”

"Oh!" the gatekeeper spared, and with the help of several other soldiers, closed the gate again.

"Bang dang!" Looking at the city gate that was closed again, Ghost Face scolded in his heart: "These grandsons are really righteous. ”

Liu Ningshi held an unsheathed dragon-shaped dagger, stepped on the phantom step, and instantly rushed behind a fighting barbarian army, and the dagger pointed at the Fengmen point behind him.

"Dang!" A short blade shining with silver light blocked Liu Ningshi's dragon-shaped dagger: "Beauty, your opponent is me." ”

"Is it you?" Liu Ningshi's eyes flashed with burning anger: "You killed those children and old people in the west of the city?"

"Those little kids, I killed them, who made them so noisy. The burly man looked at Liu Ningshi's eyes straightened: "By the way, that old woman seems to have said that a Liu girl is you, right? ”

"Shameless. Liu Ningshi's already lovely face sometimes looked angry, but it still looked a little smiling, her figure flashed, and the dragon-shaped dagger in her hand came out of the sheath and pointed straight at the back of the burly man's heart.

The burly man and Liu Ningshi have fought twice, and gradually adapted to her path; he didn't look back, the Xuanying short blade in his hand blocked it with his backhand, and collided with the dragon-shaped dagger again; Liu Ningshi was like a few afterimages, attacking fiercely around the burly man, and the cold light flashed from time to time within three feet around the two of them, and if someone approached at this time, he was afraid that he would be cut by the wind.

The ghost face waved the iron ruler and just pointed at a flat barbarian army, seeing that Liu Ningshi couldn't fight for a long time, his body moved and swept towards the direction of the two melee;

The assailant's figure swung to the left of Oni Face's as the iron ruler was about to reach his waist, and the short sword in his hand pierced through his left door.

"What a quick response. The iron ruler move in Ghost Face's hand was too old to save him, and he suddenly raised his left arm and blocked the sword with his left wrist.

"When!" The attacker's short sword rubbed against the iron bracer of Ghostface's left hand into a fierce spark, and the two of them each took half a step back under the impact, staring at each other coldly.

"Hehe! I didn't think that Jinling City's catch was really unambiguous, no wonder the third child was so happy. "The one who attacked the ghost face was none other than the burly man's second brother, another man disguised as a tax collector.

"You're also one of the fake tax collectors who attacked the west of the city?" Ghost Face couldn't see any expression with his mask on, but his voice was already cold in his emotions.

"Oh, I went to the west of the city, but I wasn't the one who did it. The short sword man smiled gloomily: "It's all the hands of the boss and the third child." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth, I'll capture you later, and I will ask you to taste the mystery of the criminal law of my Tingwei Mansion first. The ghost-faced iron ruler turned in his right palm, and the whole person rose from the ground and struck the short sword man like Mount Tai.

The short sword man volleyed backwards a few somersaults, and at the same time, with his right hand, he pressed the mechanism at the hilt, and several silver needles flew out of the pinhole of the hilt.

The short sword man saw that there was an opportunity, and his left hind foot kicked hard in the dirt, and the whole person slammed into the ghost face in a straight line with his sword, and his body merged with the wind in the air, and he noticed the friction sound of "snort".

"Boom!" The thunderous blow of the short sword man did not touch the ghost face, but only shattered the transparent wall of light, leaving a white order flag on the ground.

"Enchantment?Formation Master?" When the short sword man saw Ling Qi, his eyes narrowed into a straight line: "The formation master actually fights melee with others?"

"Rare and weird. The ghost-faced iron ruler pointed at the short sword man: "Anyone who stipulates that the formation master can't stand close, and he will definitely leave you today!"

"Interesting, the blood in my body is a little hot. The short sword man silently recited the incantation, and the short sword in his hand split into three sword shadows, which circled around him, like a sword and shield.
