Knowing that Ding Piaopeng had escaped, there was one person who was most anxious, not the iron-faced god Qiao Wanquan, but the prefect Mao Qingyun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is said that Guo Zhongzhong, who was sent, disappeared along with the jailers. Although, he didn't let him go on purpose, if he was to be investigated, there would be an order from the prefect in the middle, and when the time comes, even if you have a thousand mouths, you can't even think of saying it clearly. At the first time of the incident, he had already sent out the head arrester of Handan Yu, and secretly confessed that during the city-wide search, if Guo Zhongzhong and the jailer were caught, he would either say that he would do them, otherwise, it would be a fatal matter.

Mao Qingyun's heart has long been black, he is no longer the scholar of the rural farmer, his heart has long been blackened by power, money, and color, killing someone is like killing a chicken.

Just as he was wandering back and forth in the study, Mr. Yu came in in a hurry and said, "Lord Prefect, it's not good, Guo Zhongzhong and the jailer have been arrested by the Criminal Department first. ”

Mao Qingyun sat on the chair and was speechless for a long time.

At this time, the servant came in and said, "Lord Prefect, Lord Qiao, the head of the Criminal Department, asks to see you." ”

Mao Qingyun hurriedly said: "Please, please invite Master Qiao to the study to talk." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Wanquan had already come in with a big grin, after all, he was a Beijing official, he didn't look at the prefect in his eyes, and he was not polite, he sat down on the guest seat, and saw that Mr. Yu was also catching the head, and said: "It's just right, the prefect and Mr. Yu are all there." ”

Mao Qingyun looked embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, Qiao Wanquan got straight to the point, and said: "The prison robbery criminal Guo Zhongzhong and the jailer have been arrested by my subordinates, what else does the prefect have to say?"

Mao Qingyun was in a dilemma for a while, and he didn't know where to start, and said: "This, this, no, no, this ......"

Qiao Wanquan snorted, was happy, and said: "Guo Qingyun has truthfully confessed that it was sent by the prefect to result in Ding Piaopeng, I didn't expect the prefect to hate Ding Piaopeng so much, but unfortunately, he was a step too late, and was manipulated by the third brother Liu and robbed Ding Piaopeng out of prison." ”

Mao Qingyun saw that Qiao Wanquan had no intention of blaming, and let go of his hanging heart. said: "Mr. Qiao is smart and wise, and he has insight into everything, so the official is relieved." Don't misunderstand, this official is an official of the court, he eats the emperor's grain, and he should serve the court. Ding committed lawlessness, Macheng riots, burned the county government, hated officials and killed officials, robbed the treasury and robbed grain, so that he was so bold that he dared to break into the capital to spread wild, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and killed the emperor's nephew, so he did a lot of evil, it was really hateful, and he wanted to end his life, so as not to have many dreams at night, but it was a pity that he was taken advantage of by thieves. ”

Qiao Wanquan said: "This matter, I have already interrogated it clearly, Guo Zhongzhong and the jailer were coerced by Third Brother Liu, and it is also a last resort, I don't know what the adults have planned?"

Mao Qingyun was surprised: "Third Brother Liu? is that ever-changing Third Brother Liu?"

Mao Qingyun has also heard of the legend of Liu Sange for a long time, it is said that Liu Sange is the first in martial arts swordsmanship today, and he is a rising star in martial arts. A Ding Piaopeng is already difficult enough, and now, another third brother Liu has come out, it has to be careful, it annoys him, and his life is at stake.

Qiao Wanquan looked at his face, knew what he meant, and said: "The prefect doesn't have to worry, now, Ding Piaopeng's life and death are unknown, and he may die at any time, if Third Brother Liu wants to save Ding Piaopeng, he can only hide it, and dare not be presumptuous." Now, the four King Kongs under his command have all arrived, and the strength is strong, if the third brother Liu wants to escape from Handan City, then no one can stop him, if he wants to escape with Ding Piaopeng, hmph, look at him below, he doesn't have the ability. ”

Mao Qingyun said: "This nature, this nature." ”

Qiao Wanquan said again: "It's just that the things in the capital are really complicated, and they have been shelved for too long, and they can only stay in Handan for another five days, and after five days, if they still can't catch Ding Piaopeng, they can only withdraw." Therefore, in the past five days, it is necessary for the prefect and Mr. Yu to assist in arresting the head of the emperor, in order to capture the Qin prisoner Ding Piaopeng in one fell swoop. ”

Mao Qingyun said: "This nature, this nature." Just now, Brother Qiao said that Guo Zhongzhong and the jailer have been arrested, and I don't know if they can be returned to the official. The people under him are not able to do things effectively, and they can't do such a simple thing, so they are taken advantage of by Liu Sange, and the official must punish Guo Zhongzhong. ”

Qiao Wanquan said: "No, these two people can't be returned to the prefect yet, and they are useful in the next." As for the punishment, then let's be exempted, it's not that Guo Zhongzhong is incompetent, it's that Third Brother Liu is too cunning. ”

Thinking of the fact that the third brother Liu changed his appearance and pretended to catch a fast caterpillar, he deceived everyone, and if he passed it out, it would be worth it.

Qiao Wanquan said solemnly: "I have a private matter to talk about with the prefect individually." ”

Mao Qingyun waved his hand, and Mr. Yu and the servants retreated. Mao Qingyun closed the door and window of the study and said, "Mr. Qiao has something to do, just give orders." ”

Qiao Wanquan's face was tense, a pair of small eyes under his light eyebrows were round, there was a murderous intent hidden in his eyes, his face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Prefect, there is a matter to discuss, about the robbery of Third Brother Liu, as asked above, he said, this is a legend, there is no such thing." All the people on duty in the prison must be tightly sealed, including the jailers and the officers and soldiers on patrol, and those who should be transferred away should be transferred away as soon as possible, and those who are unreliable should be let disappear as soon as possible, this is your job; On the lower side, catch the mouth quickly, and be responsible for blocking it below. Otherwise, the prefect and Guo Zhongzhong are inseparable, and there is no need to repeat the powerful relationship below. Remember, Guo Zhongzhong and the jailer are both in the hands of his subordinates, and the confessions have been drawn. When the time comes, don't say that you don't care about the situation and shoot too hotly. ”

Mao Qingyun nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, good, rest assured, the official will do it immediately, Mr. Qiao is thoughtful and admired." ”

Qiao Wanquan immediately laughed, the gloom on his face was suddenly swept away, and then said: "That's good, that's good, with the words of the prefect, you can rest assured." Oh, I should report the events of last night to the prefect, at that time, the disposal was quite timely, Liu Sange and others had just come out of prison, and they had already led the arrest to arrive quickly, and strictly ordered to guard the city gates, and it was estimated that they were still in the city. What is the prefect's plan to capture the thief?"

Mao Qingyun was secretly shocked when he saw Qiao Wanquan's demeanor before and after judging the two of them, knowing that the surname Qiao was a powerful character, but he had to fight with a twelve-point spirit, and he said at the time: "How can this official have Mr. Qiao's shrewdness, and what he eats is not this bowl of rice, how can he have Mr. Qiao's professionalism in capturing heads, and he can't come up with a good way for a while." ”

Qiao Wanquan said: "When I first arrived, the situation is unknown, and the matter of Handan depends on the prefect." Third Brother Liu and Ding Piaopeng must still be in Handan, and there must be a hiding place for Third Brother Liu in Handan, who would dare to risk their lives to hide the Qin criminals? The ordinary people don't have so much courage, and those people on the rivers and lakes are hard to say, I don't know what gangs and gangs there are in Handan?"

Mao Qingyun said: "Handan has three dart bureaus, but the scale is very small, the semicolon of the four seas dart bureau is in Baoding, Baoding is closer to Handan, maybe some of their friends; Handan's biggest gang is the Fuyang River rudder, mainly engaged in water passenger and cargo transportation, but also open some hotels and inns, belonging to the 36 waterways chief scoop old dragon head ,......"

He didn't mention the previous Axe Gang, but the leader was the prefect.

Qiao Wanquan was suddenly taken aback, and said: "Slow, the old dragon head? The old dragon head who turned the sea over the river is the brother of the ever-changing third brother Liu." Three years ago, Liu Sange saved the life of the old dragon head in Jiujiang Xunyang Tower, and they have since become brothers, and this matter has become a strange talk in the rivers and lakes. Yes, most likely, it was the person who split the rudder of the Fuyang River and hid Ding Piaopeng. Of course, we can't relax the monitoring of the Four Seas Dart Bureau, I don't know where the rudder of the Fuyang River is located?"

Mao Qingyun said: "The rudder is located in Handan City, responsible for handling daily help and handling passenger and freight procedures, there are some hotels and inns in the downtown of Handan, and on the Fuyang River wharf outside the city, the rudder also has an office location, a mule and horse team compound and several large warehouses. ”

Qiao Wanquan said: "Thank you for your advice, I have to work hard for you these days, please explain to Mr. Yu and Handan, and lead my brothers, disguised as plainclothes, to strictly monitor all the activities of the rudder of the Fuyang River day and night." Do it loose on the outside and tight on the inside, paralyze the third brother of Liu, and lead the snake out of the hole. ”

Mao Qingyun said: "That's not a sentence, all the fast soldiers in Handan are under the command of President Qiao. I hope that Mr. Qiao will be victorious and successful. ”

It is not so easy to paralyze Third Brother Liu. The person who can paralyze Third Brother Liu has not yet been born.

The ever-changing third brother Liu has a significant advantage, that is, he is cautious. He looks weak, very amiable, very concessionary, anyone can bully him, but in fact, he is wrong, there is no one who bullies him who does not regret it. His posterior attack was very sudden, sudden to the extent that he was caught off guard and could not reach the umbilicus. He is a scholarly hero.

The flying thief Ding Piaopeng is not that kind of character, you are harder and he is harder, you are stronger and he is stronger, until one of them falls. He's a tough-guy hero.

The old dragon head once talked to Liu Sange about the tunnel at No. 97 Huiche Lane, Liu Sange asked in detail, and the old dragon head answered in detail, but Liu Sange was still a little worried, he wanted to take a look, only after he had seen it, he had the bottom in his heart.

The next day, when Ding Piaopeng fell asleep, Liu Sange and the little dragon head lifted the wooden bed, removed the dark board, and saw that the stone slab was paved on the ground, and the small dragon head pressed a few times on the stone slab mechanism, and the stone slab quacked away, revealing a hole, and entered the tunnel stone steps.

There is more than one person in the tunnel, just enough to accommodate a stretcher, about one person high, some places need to bend down to pass, the whole passage is made of bricks and stones, ancient and solid, it seems to be the building of the main relay type of the rudder of several generations of the rudder of Fuyang River.

It is not difficult to build this tunnel, as long as you have silver, but it is not easy to keep it secret. It can't be like Cao Cao, when the tombs were built, all the craftsmen were closed, and they were isolated from the outside world, and after the seventy-two tombs were built, all the craftsmen could be put to death, and the dead would not open their mouths, so the bloody secrets were buried forever in the night.

To build a secret tunnel, it depends on wisdom. A section of the tunnel connects a yard, after it is built, the entrance and exit of the yard are blocked, and then it is done one by one, and then it is done by oneself in the final section, and it is not possible to cut the road surface, throw off the shoulders to dry, and dig the ground in the ground, even the wife and children cannot participate, relying on the strength of hardship and hard work.

Wives tend to be talkative, and children are often ignorant, so the possibility of leaking secrets is greater, and the more people who know, the more likely it is to leak secrets. If the tunnel is known, it will not even be of any use at a critical time. Not only is it not an escape route, but it will become a road to death.

Walking in the tunnel, Liu Sange was shocked by the ancient gang of "Thirty-six Waterways", the kind of strict organization, the kind of caution in times of peace, and the kind of meticulous wisdom.

This is the foundation of the enduring existence of the "36 waterways".

After walking for about an hour, the little dragon head said, "Third uncle, it's over." ”

Liu Sange saw that there was a stone door in front of him, there was an iron handle on the door, the little dragon head grabbed the iron handle and rotated clockwise, only to hear a rattling sound, the door opened outward, and immediately, a fresh air came to the face, full of the sound of the wind, the sound of the waves, The sound of the branches and leaves of the reeds and willows, outside the door is the Fuyang River beach, there are tall and dense reeds and willow bushes, the stone gate is covered without revealing a trace, and then it is the mighty Fuyang River, about a mile away from here, there is an adobe house on the riverside, there is an old fisherman, there is a small boat with a canopy, the old fisherman and the boat are important links to escape, however, the old fisherman does not know that there is such a stone gate nearby, there is a long tunnel in the stone gate.

One side of the stone gate is a hill, even if you walk to the edge of the stone gate, you can't see that this is a door, think it is a mountain stone, the top is uneven, connected with the hill, covered with moss vines, even if you hold a magnifying glass, you can't find the gap of the door, it is said that the door was built by the descendants of Luban.

The man who built the gate is said to have died of a violent illness on the night it was completed. For this reason, Fuyang River paid a large amount of pension to the family of the deceased.

This is the only person who died when this escape passage was built, and for the life of the Fuyang River rudder, this person surnamed Lu had to die.

Liu Sange and Xiaolongtou came to the adobe house a mile away, the boat was moored by the river, and the old fisherman was sitting on the boat fishing, and Liu Sange bought a big carp from the old fisherman.

Although the old fisherman was in his seventies, there was a scorpion tattoo on the loose skin of his left arm, and the whole arm was tangled, and there was a terrible sinuous scar.
