In the night, Long Xiangtian and Li Defei ran to the official road together, and the scene was seen by the person who had just left the helm. There was no movement in the village of the chief helmsman at this moment, and although the people on the other side of the street heard this noise in the house, these were all from the hall of the village, and they naturally did not go out to see it. Therefore the man's trace was not revealed.

The man walked out into the street and out of town in the opposite direction to the two. On the official road of the town, Long and Li stopped and looked back at the town. Long Xiangtian said: "The fox's tail has finally leaked out, and this Northwest Jockey Club is really not so peaceful." ”

Li Defei said: "Is it the Ge Gang Leader who sent someone to assassinate us and others, or is it the same infighting as the Shaxi Gang?"

"Fang Cai's voice is indeed very loud, but why is he talking to us about family affairs? If there is really infighting in their gang, why should they hide it? There is someone in the imperial court here, if he knows that someone in the gang will have bad luck with him, he will definitely let me wait to go first and ask us to lead troops or arrest them to come here, which is profitable for him, instead of letting me wait to stay here. This is just a ploy by the enemy to break away from his golden cicada. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

Li Defei nodded and said, "The rest of the Northwest Jockey Club must not know that their helpers have colluded with outsiders to embezzle a lot of money. Many of the subordinates in this helmsman should have been sold by him for money. Does Brother Long still suspect that there is a shopkeeper among these behind-the-scenes people at this moment?"

Long Xiangtian said: "The two merchants, the two leaders who can fight with us don't look like merchants, and the martial arts they use seem to be of the same faction. ”

Li Defei nodded and said: "Yes, these two people's internal strength breathing is the same, and they practice the same school's internal strength: this kind of internal strength method is neither Tao nor Buddha, it is a mixed internal strength, but the two of them are indeed the same way." ”

"The Sand Creek Gang. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

Li Defei asked suspiciously: "The internal force that hit me that day seems to be a little different. It seems that there are two different internal forces, so it seems that there is really a shopkeeper here?"

Long Xiangtian said: "At this time, I don't dare to make a complete conclusion, but there must be a problem with this Northwest Jockey Club, and the Ge Gang Master wants to prepare to let him stay in the general helm at this moment, until the case is closed, and then send him away." They are waiting for our army to arrive. If he can't wait, he will find another way to come. ”

Li Defei said: "Yes, Gang Leader Ge only wanted to be greedy for money, and he didn't want to rebel against the court with them." But now that he wants to stay out of the matter, it may be difficult. These people won't let them get away with it easily. ”

"Now our sergeants are stationed outside the town, and they have always thought that our army is on the way, so they want to assassinate us in the army, and then fake gang infighting, and the two of us are killed. At this moment, even if we escape, the leader of the Ge gang can tell the people in the army that there is an infighting in the gang, and we will help them quell the rebellion, and they have fought with the traitors or other lies, as long as the army is unguarded, those people can escape, and as for himself, he can repeat the words of the infighting in the gang with the two of us. If the two of us had been killed at this moment, they would have been better able to cope. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

Li Defei said: "Brother Long is a good plan, at this time they are thinking of countermeasures, what should we do?"

"At this moment, they thought that they would not be able to wait for the sergeant, and they would definitely take two paths, both of which were risky, but at this time, they fell for our strategy, and we have already taken the initiative, no matter which way they go, we can have a way to deal with it. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

"The two paths are nothing more than to see through our plan to knock the mountain and the tiger, and get out of the town in disguise, and continue to the potential rudder. But these two roads may not be easy for us to break. Li Defei said.

Long Xiangtian said: "At this time, the order was given to let the army enter the town and arrest them"

Li Defei said, took the command flag, sent out the signal, and the fireworks were displayed. In a few years, the horses' hooves rushed to the town, and the two of them were now at the gate of the Northwest Jockey Club. The army immediately broke down the door, only to see a group of people gathered inside to discuss something.

Long Xiangtian said: "Take down this group of chaotic parties"

After that, the sergeants fought with the gang, and the streets were silent at night, but the battle was dark in the helm

Long Xiangtian grabbed Yu Qing's big knife with a sword, "If you are not careful, you will lose all the games." The dragon commander is really talented" Yu Qingdao.

Long Xiangtian said: "It's just that you didn't hide deeply, and I dug it out." But you're not bad, you can escape from Dongting Mansion to this place" After that, Long Xiangtian carried Yu Qing's knife away with a sword.

Li Defei had led the crowd to kill many disciples at this time, and Le Zijin and Lu Qiang worked together to suppress Li Defei's moves. Many of the surrounding disciples had already died in the battle, and Yu Qing saw that the battle was not good, so he immediately asked everyone to retreat to the backyard while fighting. The sergeants suppressed layer by layer, and also forced it into the backyard, Yu Qing and others ran out of the back door, surrounded by the street army, and fell into a battle again.

"Room by room," Li Defei said. As soon as the words fell, the courtyard was full of soldiers, except for the seriously injured and tied up President Ge, there were some other silver tickets. It is only said that Yu Qing used the royal dart array to kill all the way, in the fight in the alley, some soldiers cut Le Zijin, Lu Qiang grabbed Le Zijin and followed this Yu Qing all the way, the king shopkeeper was protected by the rest of the swordsmen, everyone rushed out of the encirclement, and Long Xiangtian led the sergeants to rush behind, his sword had killed seven or eight swordsmen, and Lu Qiang's shoulder socket was also stabbed by him.

Several people ran to the horse farm, grabbed the horses and prepared to escape, and were surrounded by the sergeants Long Xiangtian said: "Hurry up and tie your hands and capture"

Yu Qing said: "Formation method", Le Zijin sprinkled a bag of medicinal powder, there was sand on the ground of the racecourse, Le Zijin, Lu Qiang and Yu Qing carried enough internal force The sand really flowed

got up, and for a time there was wind and sand, and the wind and sand mixed with the medicinal powder and went straight to the surrounding sergeants.

Long Xiangtian didn't let the sergeants take the anti-poison water, and he didn't have the anti-poison pill on his body, so he immediately said to the surrounding sergeants: "Withdraw quickly"

After all, all the soldiers withdrew from the stable, and the slow people fell directly after being attacked by the wind and sand, and the amount of medicine at this time was very large, so many soldiers could not resist such poison at all.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers withdrew to the courtyard of the main rudder, and Li Defei saw this and asked, "What happened to Brother Long, why did everyone withdraw in such a panic?"

Long Xiangtian sighed: "I never thought that they would be able to resist the sand here, and they fell short."

Li Defei looked at Chairman Ge, who was seriously injured, and said, "Fortunately, we still have some gains, and the enemy has already shown his face, so I will track it down later." ”

"Gang Master Ge, wake up quickly at this moment, make up for it, and there is still a way to live. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

President Ge did look injured, his skin was beaten on the outside, and his clothes were torn a lot, these were all obvious whip marks, why did Long Xiangtian say that?

Li Defei said: "Seeing that his breath is weak, and he has obvious external injuries, and the wounds are still oozing blood, how can you say that he is pretending?"

"Fang Cai's sound passed quickly, and then someone came to the front hall, fighting in such a fast time, can he be beaten like this?"

President Ge still didn't move, Li Defei calmed down at this time and thought of the pulse on his elbow when he was supporting President Ge, and immediately felt something strange, so he clicked on the three acupoints on his body, and President Ge's elbow jumped. Li Defei immediately said: "His three acupoints have been temporarily sealed, so his qi is so weak." ”

President Ge woke up at this time and said, "I haven't hidden this from you, but Lord Long, I am really injured, and I think you are wrong about this." ”

Long Xiangtian said: "I never said that your injury was fake, I only said that you were beaten to the point that there was some contradiction with the 'internal fighting' created by your gang." ”

President Ge nodded and said, "The two adults are really powerful, Ge has been served, and now that he has been caught, he will inevitably die." I know that the two adults have been trying to understand this behind-the-scenes force in the Northwest, and I don't even know about it. I read the album, but I still don't know, how can anyone oppose the imperial court in this peaceful and prosperous world?"

Looking at President Ge's wry smile, Long Xiangtian said: "I don't understand why the president of such a prosperous chamber of commerce can accompany some strangers who have met a few times to make a deedence from the brothers, the gang, and the imperial court for a few thousand taels of silver?"

"Who can figure out how much things in this world, people and people, they are all like this, you don't understand me, I don't understand you," President Ge said.

Long Xiangtian said: "That's it, you don't know why they are against the court, I don't know how greedy you are, but I know that both of you have violated the laws of our court, and this is enough." At this time, if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we will spare you from death according to the law. ”

President Ge got up, his body trembled slightly, it seemed that Fang Cai's injury was indeed a little painful, and he said: "That Wang Shopkeeper is the leader of the Yellow Elephant Armor, and they belong to the force of Heavenly Dao, but I don't know how many people there are in this force, how many factions are divided, and how to plan to oppose the imperial court." It's just that they first gave me money and bought the life of my horse trainer, and then they separated from the Shaxi Gang, and robbed the royal horse with the Yellow Weevil's people, and then attacked the East Road military camp after selling the imperial horse. ”

Long Xiangtian said: "Now we can only temporarily escort the gang leader back to Ganliang Mansion, and then wait until the case is solved, and then convict, but please rest assured, I will ask the emperor to spare you from death." ”

"I heard the shopkeeper say, last time in Dongting Mansion, before you could ask for an order, the order to kill someone arrived. Although the leader of the Black Wolf Gang helped you, he was still put to death, and now I can avoid death? If I can't be exempted from the death penalty, I will ask the two adults to take care of my wife and children, and give these thousands of taels of silver to his mother and son, these thousands of taels of silver are theirs and mine, and there is no use in thinking about it, so I will leave it to my family. They were in Longxi City, and when the beheading notice came out, they would know about it. President Ge said.

Li Defei said: "I will take care of the things you entrust, but you still need to tell me everything you do, otherwise we will not be able to help you take care of your family affairs." ”

President Ge said: "That's all I can say, the yellow weevil bought me with only money, and I tried to get out......"

Long Xiangtian's sharp voice broke President Ge's voice and said, "Where did the imperial horse go?"

"They sold the horses, and I didn't know anything about them," said President Ge.

While speaking, another carrier pigeon fell into the hands of the scout in the army, and after the scout took the carrier pigeon, he removed the note and sent it to Long Xiangtian and Li Defei, Li Defei took the letter paper, opened it and said after reading: "Brother Chen said that the case has been advanced, General Zhou confessed the details, and the white skin has been captured. ”

Long Xiangtian said: "A letter to Ganliang Mansion, saying that we have already made gains, and immediately go to Ganliang Mansion to meet with him and make a proposal." ”

When the scout heard this, he immediately stepped back and wrote a letter. Li Defei said to the sergeant: "Immediately pull out the camp and march to Ganliang Mansion"

There was an occasional cool breeze in the night, but it was not as cold as it had been a few days before.

At dawn, on the Ganliang Mansion, Poplar looked at the album again. In the past few days, after they captured Bai Pizi, they returned to Ganliang Mansion, and Bai Pizi's confession made them a little puzzled: Bai Pizi only said that he wanted President Ge to add monthly money, and President Ge was one

He refused to respond positively, and had a fight with him, asking him to train the horses first and subdue the people in the gang before telling him about it. Subsequently, when he heard that a horse trainer had resigned, he also offered to resign, and then he took the money and left the Northwest Jockey Club. But he felt as if he was being targeted by others, and he felt that someone would be unfavorable to him, so he hid in the carriage carrying stones and fled to Ganliang Mansion to escape from him. It's a pity that he is addicted to gambling, so he played in a dark drug shop in Ganliang Mansion for two days, and then as soon as the sea fishing documents were issued, he knew that he was targeted by the government, and then he was caught when he tried to escape from Ganliang Mansion again.

This confession is obviously easy to understand, Bai Pizi was not instigated by anything, and left by himself, so Chen Renhai asked Long Xiangtian and others to go to the Northwest Jockey Club to re-verify the matter in the letter, General Zhou's family letter was unraveled by Chen Renhai, only saying that the content of General Zhou's family letter is very consistent, such as the letter at the beginning of the third day of the second month, which mentions "On the third day of the second month, I think of my wife and children." Another example is "February 15, wife and children do not return home, thinking very much." These are all short contents, but they are all repetitive, if his wife and children visit the house, how can this be so? And in the following letters, General Zhou also mentioned the words "lament".

Chen Renhai then went to the prison and interrogated General Zhou again, after which General Zhou wailed and cried that someone had kidnapped his wife and child and forced him to blame the officials, deliberately leading the judgment of the officials of the DPRK and China. He didn't say it all the time, because he felt that the other party was everywhere and was afraid of going away. And he was in Ganliang Mansion at that time, and his family was in Longxi, and after the group of people wrote to him, they told him that if he reported the case, they would let General Zhou never see his wife and children. In his heart, he has his wife's hairpin and a strand of hair of his child. The other party did not ask for money from him, but only let him do this, so that the wind and sand attacked the military camp and he blamed Hu Zhifu.

Chen Renhai promised that he would rescue his wife and child, but now he can't deal with it, the other party is really a difficult opponent, Long Xiangtian and the others did not catch him, and only caught a person like President Ge who was bewitched, and the important member of the yellow weevil, he found nothing; Chen Renhai only caught the white skin, but he felt that this person did not seem to have much to do with the case.

When he was young, the governor of the back hall came to spread the word that a thousand Ganliang military horses had been stationed outside the city, and Long Xiangtian and Li Defei had entered the city. Chen Renhai and Bai Yang went out of the back hall together, greeted the two in the courtyard, and after everyone paid a visit to each other, they entered the back hall to discuss matters together.

Noon has not yet arrived, and the sky has warmed up a bit in the past few days.

"In this way, Yu Qing is among the yellow weevils, and there are two other important members of the Shaxi Gang among them. Chen Renhai said.

Long Xiangtian said: "It's a pity that I let it run, I don't know where I can run from that town?"

Chen Renhai thought for a while, looked at the cool map on the wall, and said: "After Brother Long and Brother Li go to the Northwest Jockey Club, we will put all the states and counties under martial law. They are all wounded at the moment, and they will definitely be caught when they enter the city, and the military department has taken over all the state and county governments, so it may be difficult for them to enter the city. ”

Mei Jin said: "I just don't know where their minions are at the moment, I thought it was those vegetable sellers before, but the dragon commander fought with them, they didn't use their own people, but used the people of the Northwest Horse Club, where are their people? ”

Chen Renhai said: "There was no martial law before, and it was easy for them to wander, but now that martial law is under martial law, they are not allowed to leave the city without a pass approved by the government." It's not easy to get out of the city. ”

"But what about the towns outside the city?" asked Long Xiangtian, thinking that the Northwest Jockey Club was in a small town in Huibu, which was difficult to find.

Chen Renhai said: "Most of the towns have to be scattered, and they have to go through the official road, and there are roadblocks on the official road, so it is difficult to pass." If they want to go to the desert, they only have a few people, and they fled in such a hurry, without enough water and dry food, at this time they are already poor, we have put Ganliang on the heaven and earth net, I think they will not escape this sky net. ”

Ren Chaoxian said: "But I still can't take it lightly, my subordinates feel that at this time, the four cities of Longxi, Longbei, Huibu, Liangzhou, and Ganliang and their subordinate counties, in addition to strict supervision, need to patrol and report every day, one is to calm the people, and the other is to explore the enemy." In addition, the surrounding towns and villages should not only set up official roads on official roads, but also patrol every day to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of them. ”

"This is very good, after the soldiers and horses brought back by Brother Long are slightly rectified, some of them will be left to patrol the city, and some of them will be searched along the surrounding towns and city passes. Poplar said.

Long Xiangtian nodded, and then Gonggong Wei and the others entered the palace again, and without waiting for the guards to report, they entered the back hall, and saw that everyone was discussing here, and said: "Today, Commander Long has captured another person, and I want to come to the case and advance a lot, can a few adults talk to the old slave, so that the old slave can inform the emperor"

Chen Renhai got up and said: "Father-in-law Wei, I have only captured President Ge of the Northwest Jockey Club again, and he is just a pawn of the enemy, the real enemy has not been captured yet, and from what Brother Long said, we know that the imperial horse will not be able to chase back." ”

Gonggong Wei nodded and said: "This imperial horse has not been recovered, what should the emperor do if he wants to visit the garden in May?" The imperial horse must be provided to the palace every year, and you adults know that it is common for the emperor to reward officials with imperial horses, and all of you have royal horses in the capital, and the ones who come out to handle cases are also imperial horses...... This royal horse is the fastest, if it can't be found, what should we do if we don't have a hundred or so horses?"

When they heard this, they were all sick, and they did not speak. Governor Ma behind Gonggong Wei also knew that Gonggong Wei's words were a little slanderous, but he naturally couldn't say anything at this time.
