Although it is the height of summer at this time, the eventful autumn of Yan County has come!

Wang Xianling's mood at this time was as dark as the dark clouds in the sky, gloomy and messy.

The Yanjiao Lake Bloody Case and the Shenhu Village Bloody Case hung in his heart, heavy, and Wang Zhutou's words last night were in his ears, "My lord, it is estimated that a thief came to Yan County, the purpose is unknown, but two lives have been committed in three months, and the modus operandi is clever, and it is estimated that he is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, which is not trivial." The lowly job wanted to go to the state capital to ask for support, but here he investigated the clues first, and the lowly post returned two days later. Wang Xianling nodded in agreement, and then the two discussed until midnight before they dispersed.

The county seat of Yanxian County is now in the whirlpool of public opinion, and people in taverns, teahouses, and stalls are talking about the murder of Shenhu Village from time to time, and the whole county town is not big, and the news has spread for a while.

At this time, in a tavern on South Street, two middle-aged men who looked like fishermen were whispering to each other, one fat and one thin, with a load of tightly covered goods beside them.

I only heard the slightly fat person say to another person: "Second brother, the matter in Shenhu Village has been exposed, this is bad, now there are dog legs of the county government everywhere, and those lowly villagers are watching, as soon as a stranger approaches the village, there will be a report to the government, now we can't move an inch, or go back to the gang." ”

"Don't panic, the boss has already gone back to the state capital to ask which adult has news, if we go back at this time, the adult will definitely not let us go, and the boss can't keep us." Otherwise—" The thin man suddenly whispered to the fat man.

"Well, well, just do as you say. The fat man was overjoyed.

While the two were talking privately, there was a pair of monkey-like eyes secretly observing them in another inconspicuous corner of the hotel...

That night, the two secretly came to a courtyard where they lived alone in Beicheng. The thin man took out a pitch-black token and showed it to the gatekeeper before letting him in.

"Second brother, where are you looking for a place, this place is really good. The bedding ingredients are complete, and it is no problem to hide for ten days and a half months. Haha, it would be better if there was a woman. The fat man said with some excitement.

"This is a secret base that the lord has arranged for us, saying that we will transfer things here after the matter is completed. I can't care so much about it now, so I'll avoid this for a while and wait for the boss to come. You'd better settle down, if something goes wrong again, the boss will do it, and I can't stop you. The thin man couldn't help frowning when he heard the fat man's words.

"Mindful, careful. I'm just talking, how dare you. Chubby said sneeringly.

"Well, rest early and recuperate, you still need to guard against government searches. The thin man said cautiously.

What they didn't know was that when the two entered the courtyard, they were already stared at by the monkey's eyes, and the two of them were completely unconscious.

The monkey's eyes are none other than Zhang San'er, today he happened to inquire about the news in the hotel, and he felt a little weird in his heart when he looked at the two of them. The fisherman was dressed up, but the goods and body did not have the fishy smell of fish and shrimp that fishermen often have, so he followed it here.

"Sure enough, there is a problem, Brother Fan's light skills are really good! Those two should not have discovered me yet, so they have to report the situation to Brother Fan quickly. Zhang San'er said a little excitedly.

But when he arrived at the mansion, Zhang Yifan was not in the county seat at present, and he was still searching for evil criminals in the countryside, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

So Zhang San'er told the catcher on duty that he had something important to tell Zhang Yifan, and he told Zhang Yifan to go to the Yipin Teahouse in the north of the city to find him after he came back.

Yipin Tea House is not far from the house where you live alone, and you can see the front door of the house from the second floor of the tea house. Zhang San'er happened to know the shopkeeper of the teahouse and knew that he was a guy from the teahouse in the south of the city, so he was accommodating and let him occupy a place on the second floor.

Two days have passed, Zhang San'er is very anxious at the moment, Zhang Yifan hasn't come back yet, and he can't hold on anymore!

He stayed in the teahouse for two days in a row, and he didn't go anywhere, and the two of them never came out of it, except occasionally when he saw an old servant go out to buy something and go back, which was definitely a problem!

Chi Ze changed, Zhang San'er decided that if Zhang Yifan didn't arrive tonight, he would tell the other catchers to let them investigate the two to see if there was a problem.

That night, just as Zhang San'er got up and was about to go to the Yamen, Zhang Yifan came, and he came with Chen Zhukuai and others.

Seeing Zhang Yifan's tired face, Zhang San'er was also a little distressed. stepped forward and asked, "Brother Fan, are you okay?"

Zhang Yifan cleared his throat, quickly poured a cup of tea for Chen Zhu, and then poured himself a cup, drank it in one gulp, then waved his hand, and said dejectedly: "Don't mention it, in the past few days, the large and small villages and lakes in the county have been running all over, and even the shadow of the thief has been found, so I found a boat, but the clue was also broken." ”

"No, Uncle Chen and I just returned to the county, and I heard the catcher on duty say that you have something important to do with me, so I was ready to come over. Uncle Chen couldn't rest assured, so he came over to take a look. Say, what's the matter, it's not an outsider. ”

Zhang Yifan looked at Zhang San'er with some excitement, he knew that Zhang San'er must have discovered some important things, maybe it was a big case.

Zhang San'er heard Zhang Yifan say this, so he sorted out his clues and told him what he found from beginning to end, during which Chen Chukuai also asked some details.

After Zhang San'er finished speaking, Zhang Yifan looked at Chen Zhukuai's solemn expression, so he asked curiously, "Uncle Chen, is there anything wrong with these two people?"

"Xiaofan, these two people are full of suspicions, and they should be good hands in the rivers and lakes, so they need to be questioned and reviewed. Chen Zhu quickly touched his goatee and said unhurriedly.

"Then what are we waiting for, wouldn't it be clear if we went directly to the courtyard and asked?" Zhang Yifan said in a rather relaxed tone.

"No, we don't know the situation inside, let's go directly to estimate that it's easy to startle the snake, let's do this..."

Late at night, a gong and drum sounded in front of the teahouse, "Go to the water, go to the water!" , A man who looked like a husband knocked on the door of the courtyard near the teahouse for a while, and it took a while for someone to open the door, and an old man came out, looking impatient and asked, "What are you knocking on in the middle of the night!"

The man pointed to the teahouse that was smoking not far away and could faintly see the light of the fire, and said to the old man anxiously: "Uncle, the nearby teahouse is on fire! I will ask your house to borrow some utensils to fill water to extinguish the fire, and then see if anyone can help put out the fire together, if this fire catches up, it will be terrible." ”

"There's no one in this house, I'm a mess old man, if you want utensils, I'll take you to the kitchen, grab your things and leave quickly." The old man said impatiently, and after speaking, he walked towards the kitchen with his husband, and after making an appointment for a cup of tea, the man came out with two buckets, and then the old man closed the door.

In the basement of the courtyard, the fat man said to the thin man: "Second brother, what happened, why do you seem to hear someone shouting that there is a fire." ”

"It's not a big deal, it seems that the teahouse opposite is on fire, and someone has come to borrow a bucket to extinguish the fire. The thin man said.

"Oh, it's a false alarm, then go to sleep, the boss should be back tomorrow. When the fat man heard this, he was relieved.

In the backyard of the teahouse, when everyone saw the husband coming back, the fireworks were extinguished. Zhang Yifan stepped forward and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Chen, how is it, have you found anything?"

It was Chen Zhukuai who was dressed as a man, he put the bucket aside, and said, "Xiaofan, get ready, there is really a problem with that yard." Chen decided to take action

"Okay, Uncle Chen, don't you need to call someone again?" Zhang Yifan said excitedly.

"No need, there are three people in that courtyard, even the old man, as described by Zhang San'er, the five of us should deal with it. Chen Zhukuai said.

It turned out that Chen Yukuai deduced the general situation by observing the use of kitchen utensils, knew the number of people in the house, and knew the bottom of his heart.

As soon as the day dawned, a group of fishers who had rested for a few hours came to the courtyard and knocked on the door.

It was the old man who opened the door, and the old man saw a group of fast catchers, and the corners of his eyes trembled, but he asked casually, "Poor master, what's the matter, so early." ”

"Routine inspections, and the county is currently tracking down key culprits. Do you have any situation here? Chen Zhu said in a stiff tone.

"Poor master, I'm alone in this courtyard, I've lived in it for many years, and there's nothing wrong. The old man said with a puzzled expression.

"Take it! Search!" Chen Zhuai heard the old man's words, so he no longer concealed them, and took action directly. The two catchers quickly tied up the old man in the hall, and the rest of the people began to search the courtyard.

Zhang Yifan started searching from the backyard, but he didn't get anything. Suddenly, he heard someone's "ah" voice coming from the other side of the hall, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart, so he hurried back to the hall to check the situation.

The current hall is in a mess, and I saw three catchers fighting with the two of them, it was the fat and thin two. Among them, Chen Kuai dealt with the fat man alone, and the other two Kuai worked together to deal with the thin man.

Look at the posture of the two people are good hands, the fat man made the two sky-breaking hammers, open and close, wielding is impermeable, Chen Zhu did not dare to block hard, waving the Pu knife and wandering away, it seemed quite difficult.

In addition, the thin man actually used a rare soft whip, only to see that half of the room was full of whip shadows, and the two catchers had no way to start, so they could only defend passively.

"Uncle Chen, I'll help you!What about Brother Li?" Seeing this, Zhang Yifan was ready to help Chen Yu quickly recover his disadvantage first.

These two people are Ruan Lao Er and Hu Lao San among the three plum blossom thieves on the rivers and lakes, their martial arts are profound, and they are extremely fierce, so they will go to the Yamen to seek support first. Li Ran has been killed by two thieves!" Chen Zhukuai said quickly while resisting, looking a little anxious and a little regretful.

"What!" Zhang Yifan's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing this, and he joined the battle.

Chen Zhuai had a headache when he saw this, so he had no choice but to deal with the situation in front of him first and take down the fierce opponent in front of him.

Zhang Yifan did not use the standard Pu knife, but directly used the six-edged iron rod to swing at Hu Laosan.

The battle has begun!
