A dignified five-grade prefect, living in a simple house on weekdays, it is rare to go out, and the people have to bow their heads and avoid the road when they see it. There are only a handful of hundreds of thousands of people under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture who can be known by the prefect, but now Hong Wentang is facing this bloody head, although the flesh and blood are blurred, but his eyes, ears, mouth and nose are very familiar. The deceased was none other than Fang Shulong, the owner of the famous watershed hall in Hangzhou. When it comes to this water hall, almost everyone in the entire Hangzhou Mansion knows about it. First, this water-sharing hall has thousands of people, dominating a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, and few local people dare to provoke it; second, the water-sharing hall is mainly trading salt by water transportation on weekdays, and the common people have to deal with this water-sharing hall every day because they have to deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt every day.

Hong Wentang didn't know how to speak for a while, and then he heard Wang Meng in the hall say coldly:

"What's the matter?

Hong Wentang coughed a few times and said helplessly: "This person ...... This person is the hall master of the local water distribution hall, his name is Fang Shulong, and he is a lower official...... Because the lower official is in charge of the security of a mansion, he has had several relationships with this person, but I don't know what this person committed, and he was killed by Lord Wang himself?"

Wang Meng "snapped" and slapped the startled wood, and said angrily:

This person has committed a heinous felony with a group of thieves, openly trafficking in illicit salt, and has committed a heinous felony against the company, not only did he disobey the order, but he even dared to use vicious means against the company, in a vain attempt to harm me with a hidden weapon. Fortunately, this company still has some slight martial arts, and this time it was the emperor's order to go to Jiangnan in person, how could it be that these rivers and lakes can assassinate him? This company only used some means to kill him on the spot. ”

After a pause, Wang Meng said again:

"Lord Hong, you also know that the imperial court has repeatedly ordered that it is strictly forbidden for the people to sell illicit salt, and now that the thief chief has been given the head, what should I do next, I guess I don't need to say more. ”

Hong Wentang nodded again and again and said yes, and he already had a plan in his heart. He suddenly turned to the officials, lowered his face and shouted:

"The thief Fang Shulong sold illicit salt, openly resisted arrest, and tried in vain to harm the imperial court, and conspired against him!

All the officials responded in unison, and they were about to follow Hong Wentang out to get people. Wang Meng stood up suddenly, and with a slight lean, he blocked Hong Wentang's way:

"Wait! Lord Hong, I heard that the Fenshui Hall is entrenched here, and it has been in business for many years, and there must be a lot of thieves, how can you take people with dozens of fast catchers?"

Hong Wentang sneered:

"Yes, yes, yes! The lower official will go to inform the lieutenant of the infantry military camp of this mansion, and ask him to order five hundred elite soldiers, and together with me, capture the whole of that mansion in one piece!"

Wang Meng waved his hand: "Okay! But why should Lord Laohong go to this matter in person, your lord only needs to write an official document by hand, stamp it with your prefect's seal, and hand it over to the lieutenant with a competent person?"

Before Hong Wentang could elaborate, Wang Meng grabbed his shoulders and laughed:

"Okay, okay, that's it, don't tell Lord Hong, I've been from noon to now, but I haven't eaten a drop of rice, and I can sing a 'empty city plan' in my stomach." I heard in the capital that your Hangzhou is a prosperous place of smoke and willows, why did our people from Tsing Yiwei come to your territory, and your prefect didn't even invite me to drink a glass of water and wine?"

Hong Wentang had no choice but to hurriedly write a piece of arrest text, stamp it with a big seal, and order the two catchers to take it with him and hurry to the infantry camp. Then Governor Hong ordered someone to set up a table of banquets in the inner courtyard of the mansion to entertain Wang Meng.

That Wang Meng saw that Hong Wentang had secretly looked at a catcher in the lobby before, sneered in his heart, and didn't pay attention to it, but when he drank during this banquet, he would make Hong Wentang drink first before drinking, and the new vegetables and fruits would also be eaten by Hong Wentang before they were tasted.

There were two people at the table, one was attentive to laugh and frequently persuaded to drink, and the other was speechless and only cared about eating and drinking, so that after two hours, they never ate until the time of the unitary, and it was already dark. Wang Meng suddenly slammed the wine glass, spit out the chicken bones in his mouth, and said angrily: "Lord Hong, it is only twenty miles away from here to the Hangzhou military camp, and it is only an hour to go back and forth, how can I not see your people report for so long!"

Hong Wentang was about to explain, when he suddenly saw that the lights in the courtyard were dim, and several darts "swished" towards Wang, so frightened that Hong Wentang hurriedly hugged his head and drilled under the table.

Wang Meng turned to one side, had avoided the three darts in front of him, raised his foot and kicked, and used an inverted kick of the "Eight Styles in the Clouds", and a rosewood chair spun up, blocking the rest of the dozen darts. He jumped in the air, like a goshawk swooping towards the wall of the east courtyard. The four masked black-clothed men lying prone on the wall probably didn't expect the people drinking in the courtyard to be so fierce, and in an instant, Wang Meng was already in front of him, only to see him sideways, kicking, volleying, and drawing knives, as if in one go. Before this side of the carriage could react, Wang Meng's move "in all directions" had already arrived, and the knife flashed a few times, only to hear the sound of "oops", and the four masked assassins rolled down the wall one after another.

Wang Meng snorted coldly, pointed a knife at one of the masked men and asked, "Who are you! How dare you commit murder in the prefect's lobby!"

The four of them were each stabbed in the leg by "ring jumping" and "commissioning", and at this moment the blood on the leg was not stopping, and the pain was endless, and the four of them were holding their legs and moaning, not daring to answer.

Wang Meng couldn't help but say, his hand rose and fell, "brushing, brushing" three knives, and the three masked guests died on the spot instantly. The last remaining masked man, watching Wang Meng's knife swinging towards him, was so frightened that his legs were sifting chaff and trembling all over, and he hurriedly shouted: "Uncle spare your life...... "I said, I said, we ...... We are ......"

Before the word "points" could be spoken, the masked man suddenly straightened up, and he was already angry. Wang Meng saw that there was a flying knife stuck in his back, looked west, and saw that a black shadow had jumped outside the wall, and immediately shouted angrily, "Bold thief!", and chased after the west courtyard.

Wang Meng chased outside the mansion, but lost the trace of the black shadow, and was very annoyed, so he had to turn around and enter the prefect's hall angrily, and saw the Hangzhou prefect Hongwentang, who was still hiding under the table. At this time, Governor Hong's mansion was prostrate on the ground, his clothes were scattered, and he was not at all the high-minded and commanding appearance he usually did, Wang Meng couldn't help but be angry and funny.

Wang Meng had the intention to play tricks on Hong Wentang, so that he made a trick of the family eagle claw skill "Flying Eagle Playing Snake", grabbed Hong Wentang's collar, lifted it one by one, and slammed his body diagonally to the table. Wang Meng was about to step forward and reprimand Hong Wentang fiercely, but when he saw Hong Wentang's face in the dark, he couldn't help but scream: "It's not good!"
