Just as Meng Ran and Li Haoran were exploring the truth of what was happening outside, a dark shadow appeared in Huo Ran, the courtyard where the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion were stationed, and he knocked lightly twice on the door of Chu Changcun's room.

After a while, the door opened, and Chu Changcun walked out and invited the man into the house together.

After the two sat down, Chu Changcun arched his hand and asked politely, "I don't know what is the important matter for Ma Zongqi to come?"

Ma Shun smiled slightly, "There's nothing else, just come and see the battle report you wrote." ”

Chu Changcun hesitated for a moment, then got up and took the battle report that had been sealed on the table, and handed it to Ma Shun casually.

Ma Shun took the battle report, tore off the sealing mud, and carefully read the content of the battle report. After reading it for a while, Ma Shun refolded the battle report, handed it back to Chu Changcun, and said, "Well, that's the way it is." There's one more thing I want you to help with. ”

Chu Chang stored the battle report, returned to his seat, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You go to the county jail tomorrow morning and intimidate and threaten that Meng Gongzi, so it's fine. Ma Shun commanded softly.

Chu Changcun's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "Is this necessary?"

"I have my thoughts, you just do it. ”

"Okay, I see, I'll go early tomorrow morning. ”

Ma Shun bowed slightly, "By the way, I asked Zhou Zhixian to prepare an extra thousand taels of silver, and when the time comes, you will give half of the profit to the captain, so that you can keep your position, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along." ”

Chu Changcun nodded, "I thank Master Ma for my brothers." ”

Ma Shun waved his hand, "As long as you have a good life in the future, don't say more about these nonsense." ”

"I must do my best. ”

"Okay, it's not too early, I'll go first, you guys take care of the aftermath. ”

After explaining, Ma Shun walked outside, and Chu Changcun sent him all the way outside the gate.

After Ma Shun disappeared into the darkness, Chu Changcun slowly paced back to the house.

After a while, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Come in. Chu Changcun shouted.

The door opened, and a figure wearing the armor of the Folding Chong Mansion walked in, and the person who came was Chu Changcun's henchman Zhang Xiaozhong.

Chu Changcun looked at the person who came, and asked in a deep voice, "Allegiance, is there something wrong?"

"Big brother, who was that person just now?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. Chu Changcun scolded in a low voice.

Zhang Xiaozhong hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly spoke: "Big brother, this has just started the inspection, and there is such a big basket, how to return to Lord Duwei?"

Chu Changcun rubbed his temples vigorously, looking like he had a headache, and said in a solemn tone: "The battle report is on the table, you can take a look for yourself." ”

Zhang Xiaozhong took a few steps forward, picked up the paper on the table, read it carefully, and then said: "Big brother, your ability is known to Lord Duwei, if you tell me like this, I'm afraid it will be a little embarrassing." Even if Lord Lieutenant didn't care, those three legions would laugh at us. ”

"Joke?" Chu Changcun slapped his palm on the table, shaking the teacup on it and clanging, and he shouted angrily: "What's the way to joke? Look at those unlucky guys, ah! I'm lying there right now, but what can I do? I can't do anything!"

"Big brother is angry, I am willing to take this matter down with all my might, and I will never implicate my eldest brother. ”

"You're just farting. Chu Changcun stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Xiaozhong, looking like he hated iron but not steel, "It's because I'm too indulgent to you, so you are so unscrupulous." Without my order, you dare to intercept and kill others easily. Even if you want to go, you have to find out who that person is. It's good now, I didn't eat meat, and I got into a commotion. ”

Zhang Xiaozhong asked in a low voice, "Big brother, who did Feng Yidao meet?" I heard them say that they met two people, a young man and a middle-aged servant. ”

Chu Changcun sighed slightly and said, "Those two Wang Wu have seen it before." ”

"Wang Wu has seen it?" Zhang Xiaozhong's face was instantly very ugly, he thought before he came, those two people might have some identities, but he didn't expect to have such a big background. He grinned, and asked in a bitter voice, "Big brother, is it the son-in-law of the Tobe squire?"

"You guessed it. ”

"So what do we do?"

"That's it. Chu Changcun pointed to the battle report.

Zhang Xiaozhong was stunned for a moment, "Big brother, ...... brothers over there"

"Don't worry, there will be a pension when the time comes, and besides, I also found Zhou Zhixian and asked for a piece of silver for them alone. ”

Zhang Xiaozhong sighed and said softly, "It's embarrassing for adults." ”

Chu Changcun shook his head slightly and said, "I'm embarrassed, it's nothing." I brought you out, but I couldn't bring you all back, and I was derelict in my duty. ”

"Big brother, don't blame yourself, it's all those bastards who don't have the eyesight to see, thinking that Zhou Xuan's silver is easy to take, which is why there is such a tragedy. Maybe everything is fate, don't be sad. ”

Chu Changcun patted Zhang Xiaozhong's shoulder and ordered: "In the next time, you should restrain them, don't make any more trouble, otherwise, everyone is afraid that they will be unlucky." ”

Zhang Xiaozhong nodded fiercely and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, eldest brother, I will personally keep an eye on them next, if there is any more chaos, I will definitely screw my head off." ”

"Okay, just do things seriously, and you don't need to swear any oaths. ”

Zhang Xiaozhong hesitated for a while, and slowly asked, "Big brother, ...... Feng Yidao them?"

Chu Changcun sighed and said, "Since they are all casualties caused by the thieves, then there is no responsibility for them. I just want to make a note for them, and when they go back to the barracks in the coming day, they will each put thirty military sticks on them, so that they can remember them for a long time. ”

"Okay, big brother, I see. ”

"Then go and rest, and you will accompany me to the county jail early tomorrow morning. ”

"Good. ”

Zhang Xiaozhong saluted Chu Changcun, and walked out of the door, and when he just walked to the door, he stopped again, turned around and looked at Chu Changcun, with a hesitant look.

Chu Changcun frowned slightly, "Allegiance, do you have anything to say?"

Zhang Xiaozhong stood for a while, plucked up the courage to walk up to Chu Changcun, and said softly: "Big brother, we can't touch the affairs of the Imperial City Division, this is a taboo, if it is known by outsiders, it will be dismissed at the least, or imprisoned, you have to think clearly." ”

Chu Changcun let out a wry smile, "I don't know, but now, what can I do?"

"If you tell the Captain, will he ......?"

Before Zhang Xiaozhong finished speaking, Chu Changcun waved his hand to interrupt, "This matter will end here, if Lord Duwei knows, I am afraid that he will also step into this quagmire, and he will not be allowed to maintain his current refreshing position." ”

"Alright then, big brother, take care. ”

"You too. ”

After Zhang Xiaozhong left, Chu Changcun sat there in a daze, stunned at the broken candle on the table, and there was a sigh from time to time.

......

Halfway through the night, the candle finally dried up its tears and went out with a thud, and the room was instantly dark. Chu Changcun sighed faintly and groped his way to the bed.

Just after Chu Changcun rested, a room in the corner of the courtyard quietly opened, and a capable middle-aged man walked out, he first looked around, and then bypassed his comrades who patrolled the night, climbed over the wall, and stepped on the eaves.

As soon as he stood still, he heard his name being called.

"Feng Yidao, what are you going to do?"

Feng Yidao looked up and saw a figure standing on the ridge not far away, it was Zhang Xiaozhong.

Zhang Xiaozhong slowly walked a few steps forward and asked, "Feng Yidao, are you trying to escape?"

Feng scolded sharply: "Team Zhang, I just can't sleep a little, I just come up to breathe, don't slander people." ”

"Really, what are you doing with a knife?"

"Get used to it, in our industry, how can anyone not carry a knife with him. ”

"That's a good habit. ”

As the two were talking, the two sergeants who were keeping vigil in the courtyard heard the movement, looked up and watched, and greeted in their mouths: "Zhang Teamzheng and Feng Huochang are so interested, they still haven't slept so late." ”

Zhang Xiaozhong glanced down at the two figures in the courtyard, and scolded softly: "Hu San, Zhao Si, the task of the two of you is to patrol the night and be vigilant, and you didn't even notice that Feng Huo grew out of the house, and you will be punished with two military sticks each." ”

Hu San and Zhao Si responded in a low voice: "Yes." ”

At this moment, Feng Yidao Huo Ran swung out a long knife and smashed it towards Zhang Xiaozhong.

Zhang Xiaozhong felt the wind rising, and leaned sideways, but he had already been hit on the back by the scabbard.

As soon as Hu San and Zhao Si, who were on guard at night, were about to make a loud reminder, Zhang Xiaozhong had already fallen from the eaves into the courtyard, making a muffled sound.

The two hurriedly stepped forward to check Zhang Xiaozhong's injuries, but were stopped by Zhang Xiaozhong, who shouted sharply: "Leave me alone, go chase Feng Yidao, don't let him run away." ”

Hu San and Zhao Si hurriedly rolled over the wall and chased in the direction where Feng Yidao had escaped.

At this time, everyone who was sleeping in the house woke up one after another, and one by one the lights were turned on, and the courtyard was also very bright.

A large number of sergeants ran out into the courtyard with steel knives in their hands and cloaks.

Chu Changcun, who had just fallen asleep for a short time, also ran out.

Chu Changcun saw Zhang Xiaozhong lying on the ground, and immediately pounced, "Allegiance, what's the matter?"

"Don't ask, go and report the four city gates, don't let Feng Yidao go out of the city. The boy is going to run away. ”

Chu Changcun shouted sideways: "Hurry up and report, don't let Feng Yidao go, and quickly find a doctor to come over, and the rest of the people will chase Feng Yidao as soon as possible." ”

After an order, the surrounding soldiers moved one after another, and the noisy and heavy footsteps soon sounded.

When the courtyard was sparsely populated, Chu Changcun and the soldiers carried Zhang Xiaozhong into his room and gently put him on the bed, he looked at his subordinates with concern.

Zhang Xiaozhong was about to elaborate on the situation just now, but was stopped by Chu Changcun, "You just have a good rest, don't talk too much, wait for the doctor to come, give you a good look, don't leave any secret wounds." ”
