Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and Who the Yellow Sparrow (2)
"Who can stop us?" Zhang Long took a long knife and directly met Ding Yi. Xiao Baiyu's sword was also unsheathed at this time, and the people on both sides suddenly raised their weapons, and a big battle was about to begin.
The two parties are facing each other, but someone is coming again, and it is the Yamen's catcher, whose surname is Han, and his name is Han Sanwhip. He is also a master of the Daimyo's mansion, and his weapon is a whip, and it is said that he once pacified a bandit's den alone, and no one walked three whips in his hand, so he got the title of Han San Whip, as for the real name, others have forgotten.
"What are you doing?" Han San whipped himself without anger.
Xiao Baiyu said: "Han Zhutou is really timely!"
Han Sanwhip clenched his fists: "It's easy to say, what are the people of your two families gathered here?"
Zhang Long said lightly: "Han Zhutou should know that I, Zhang Long, have something to do with the gang leader of the Evergreen Gang, Long Fifteen, and he sent someone to send a letter to Zhang's Mansion, saying that someone wants to be unfavorable to the Evergreen Gang, and let me bring some people over to help!"
"Hmph, do you still have Wang Fa in your eyes?" Han Sanwhip said coldly.
Zhang Long said: "Wang Fa is not Han Zhutou's decision, it is the government that has the final say, and it is the prefect who has the final say!"
Han San whipped and said: "But you gathered a crowd to make trouble today, but this head catcher has the right to arrest you!"
Zhang Long said lightly: "With this little person as Han Catcher, I'm afraid it's not enough to arrest me Zhang today, right?"
"The people of my Ding Mansion can help Han Zhutou deal with those lawless Diao people!!" Xiao Baiyu said lightly.
Zhang Long laughed out loud and said, "This is the Evergreen Gang, you want to compete with me more than others?"
"The Evergreen Gang is dead!" Hong Shan said loudly. When Shen Guhong heard this, his face couldn't help but change. Sure enough, Zhang Long suddenly showed a look of horror and said, "You······ You killed all the people of the Evergreen Gang?
"Not me······ It's not us!" Hong Shan suddenly sweated suddenly.
Zhang Long snorted, "It's not you, is it us?"
Xiao Baiyu and Ding Yi glanced at each other, and they both felt that this matter was extremely bad. Han San Whip beckoned to the two catchers, they nodded, ran into the house to look, and came out and said, "Catchers, it's true that all of them are dead, even Long Fifteen is dead!"
Han Sanwhip was also surprised, he received a report, saying that a large number of people from the Ding Mansion and the Zhang Mansion had gone to the Evergreen Gang, so he asked the prefect to come. Because at present, in this Daimyo's Mansion, the black and white roads are basically controlled by the Evergreen Gang, the Ding Mansion and the Zhang Mansion, if there is anything wrong, it will not be easy to clean up, but I didn't expect this to be the situation when I came here.
"What the hell is going on?" Han Sanwhip was not a fast catcher, he was also a well-known player in the rivers and lakes, he knew that Xiao Baiyu was a member of the Xiao family in Jinling, and the two of them also had some friendship. At this time, he could only ask Xiao Baiyu.
Xiao Baiyu said: "When we arrived here, the people were already dead, and we don't know what's going on!"
"Who believes it, Lord Catcher, these are all murderers, and the people of my Zhang family are also willing to help the government arrest those who do not abide by the law!" Zhang Long said.
Han Sanwhip frowned slightly, and said: "Today's matter, you Zhang Mansion and Ding Mansion are inseparable, please go to the Yamen with me, and wait for the prefect to be treated, and the prefect has the final say on how to deal with it!"
"Han Zhutou is really majestic, the murderer is not caught in front of him, and he wants me to wait to go to the Yamen, Han Zhutou thinks we are fools?" Zhang Long looked quite arrogant, and at the same time, he made a move, and the people of the Zhang family moved one after another, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
Han Sanwhip knew that his approach was a bit biased towards the Ding Mansion, and he felt that it was obvious that the Zhang Mansion was also problematic. At that moment, he said lightly: "It seems that Brother Zhang refuses to give Han this face!"
"You don't enforce the law strictly, you don't catch what you should catch, there's no way, I, Zhang Long, am not made of mud, let you handle it?" Zhang Long said.
Han San whipped and said, "It seems that you are definitely going against the government!"
Zhang Long said: "Can you represent the government?"
Han San whipped and said: "I can't represent the government, but I'm still a fast arrester now, then I have the right to arrest you!"
"Oh, it seems that you, Han Sanwhip, are determined to be unable to get along with me?"
Han San shook his head and said: "It's Brother Zhang who wants to get along with me, when I came, Brother Zhang was very arrogant and said, I called Long Fifteen brothers and brothers, and brought people to fight, and now Long Fifteen is dead, but the people of Zhang Mansion are also guilty of disturbing the stability of the Daimyo's Mansion!"
"You ······" Zhang Long's complexion changed several times.
Han San whipped and said: "Now that there are many of you, you can choose not to follow, but here in the Great Song Dynasty, the law is strict, if you think that your own strength is very strong and can go against the government, then you can not listen!"
When Han Sanwhip said this, he ignored the crowd, left more than a dozen people to guard the scene, and walked in front with the three of them.
"Go to the Yamen!" Ding Yi knew the urgency.
Although Zhang Long was very reluctant, he had to take the people of the Zhang family to follow behind. So there was a strange phenomenon on the street, Han Sanshu walked in front with three people, followed by the people from the Ding Mansion, and then the people from the Zhang Mansion. These people took up half of the street, like a long line.
The prefect's yamen, the Zhang family's assertion that Yun and Ding Yue were already here. When Shen Guhong saw Ding Yue, he was stunned again, how could there be him anywhere?
"Tell me, what's going on?" said the prefect of the Daimyo's Mansion as he looked at Han Sanwhip.
Han Sanwhip truthfully reported the situation of the Evergreen Gang, which surprised Ding Yue, but Zhang Yun's expression was as usual, he looked at the prefect and said, "My lord, can you believe that the grass people did not falsely accuse him this time?"
It turned out that Zhang Yun and Ding Yue arrived at Yamen early in the morning, and Zhang Yun sued the people of Ding's Mansion to kill the people of the Evergreen Gang, but Ding Yue was the people who sued the Zhang family to hijack the tribute. No matter which of these two charges is established, it will be a devastating disaster for either the Zhang or Ding Mansions.
Ding Yue said lightly: "You Zhang Yun don't want to spew blood, and you don't want to destroy the evidence, it's 300,000 taels of brocade, and it's not so easy for you to destroy it." ”
The prefect of the Daimyo Mansion is named Du Sheng, and he has some relationship with the Zhang Mansion and the Ding Mansion, and he said at the moment: "Han Zhutou, the people of the Evergreen Gang were really killed by the people of the Ding Mansion?"
Han San whipped and said: "My subordinates didn't see it, but there are hundreds of people in the Evergreen Gang, and if you want to gather them together and kill them for a while, I'm afraid ordinary people can't do it, of course, Ding Mansion can't do it!"
"Han Zhutou, is this to exonerate the Ding Mansion?" Zhang Yun said lightly.
Han San whipped and said: "The head of the Zhang family is serious, Han just said his own opinion. ”
Du Sheng nodded, looked at Ding Yue, and said, "You said that the people of the Zhang Mansion hijacked the tribute, but there is evidence?"
Ding Yue handed a black token to Du Sheng at this time, and said, "My lord, please take a look, this was found at the scene where the tribute was robbed!"
Du Sheng took the token, looked at Zhang Yun, and said lightly: "This is the unique token of your Zhang family's shopkeeper, how should you explain it?"
Zhang Yun's face changed a few times, and he said, "My lord wants to convict the Zhang family with a token?"
Du Sheng said: "Of course not, the official is just waiting for your explanation!"
Zhang Yun said: "What is the explanation for this? The fact that the Zhang family's token appears there does not mean that it was made by the people of the Zhang family." Maybe the Zhang family is a traitor, or maybe someone stole the token to frame the Zhang family, it's all possible!"
Ding Yue snorted coldly and said, "I know you won't admit it, but if I don't have full evidence, how dare I come to the yamen?"
"If you haven't done it, you haven't done it, I'm not afraid of shadows, if you Ding Yue really have evidence, then take it out!" Zhang Yun was quite confident.
At this time, Shen Guhong thought of the carriage that left Buzhuang last night, and he had some conjectures in his heart.
"This batch of tributes is in Zhang's Mansion right now, please check it out!" Ding Yue saluted Du Sheng with a fist.
Zhang Yun laughed angrily: "What a joke!"
"Your Excellency sent someone to Zhang's Mansion to search, and you will know if what the grass people said is true!" Ding Yue said again.
Du Sheng nodded: "Han Zhutou, you take twenty people to Zhang's mansion, if you find anything, report it in time!"
Zhang Yun looked at Ding Yue and said lightly: "Wait, Ding Yue, no matter how you cheat today, you can't match the fact that you killed someone!"
When Shen Guhong heard this, he thought in his heart: "If the government can really manage the murder of people, then how can the murder of nearly 300 people in Lihua Villa not be resolved? ”
In less than half an hour, Han Sanshu came back with someone. Ding Yue and Zhang Yun both looked confident, obviously they both had their own opinions.
"Report to your lord, my subordinates found a lot of brocade in Zhang's mansion, because there was no loaded carriage, they just brought some back casually!" Han Sanwhip handed over a brocade at this time and said.
"What?" Zhang Yun almost fell, this hijacking of tribute is a great crime of extermination, and the Zhang family is afraid that it will be completely finished.
"Now that the truth is revealed, Zhang Yun, what else do you have to say?" Du Sheng threw the brocade at Zhang Yun and said sharply.
Zhang Long shouted: "His grandmother's, this is obviously the people from the official government and the Ding Mansion who are framing us and fighting with them!"
The people of the Zhang family got the order and acted one after another, and there was chaos in the prefect's yamen. Seeing this, Han San Whip jumped up, the person was still in the air, but his whip had already rolled towards Zhang Long. At this moment, as long as Zhang Long is taken, the others are just a rabble.
Zhang Long used a golden knife, the big knife waved, the golden light swayed, and the head catcher in the yamen had a plan that had been killed under his knife, and he was about to hack another person to death, at this time, Han San's whip had arrived. This was not an ordinary whip, and at the moment I could only see the whip swinging around like a long snake, wrapping around Zhang Long's waist.
Seeing this, Zhang Long jumped up, and while avoiding the whip, the golden knife was horizontal, and his body turned around, attacking towards Han San's whip. Between you and me, the two of them fought more than ten tricks, but no one had anything to do with anyone.
