Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada (3)

Zhang Yun saw that Zhang Long had killed a few arresters, and immediately thought: "No matter what, my Zhang family is finished, since this is the case, then catch Du Sheng first and use him as a hostage before you can escape." Zhang Yun was an extremely decisive person, once he made up his mind, he no longer hesitated, and immediately jumped up and rushed towards Du Sheng.

"It's really not the heart of the Yellow River that doesn't die!" Ding Yue stepped away, his rickety body suddenly straightened, and his hands, which were as dry as firewood, suddenly became sharp eagle claws, meeting Zhang Yun's palms. Suddenly heard the sound of a vigorous collision, Zhang Yun screamed miserably, and his body fell backwards like a kite with a broken string, smashing to the ground, spurting out a few mouthfuls of blood. At this moment, several catchers came down and put knives on his neck, and at this point, his heart was already desperate.

"Father!" Zhang Long was fighting with Han Sanwhip, and inadvertently glanced back, and suddenly screamed angrily.

"Long'er, kill it and leave with the people of the Zhang family!" Zhang Yun said loudly.

When Zhang Long heard this, the golden knife danced faster, leading the people of the Zhang family to rush out and kill. Seeing this, Han Sanwhip ordered the gatekeeper to close the gate. In the compound of the prefect's yamen, a tragic battle has begun.

Ding Yue looked at Xiao Baiyu and said, "Go and help Han catch the head and capture the prisoner!"

Xiao Baiyu is now the quasi-son-in-law of Ding Mansion, and after listening to Ding Yue's order, he jumped forward, the long sword stabbed out, and the cold sword aura was pervasive, and everywhere he passed, he saw that the people of the Zhang family were swords one by one, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

"This Xiao Gongzi's martial arts are indeed good, he is worthy of being a member of the Xiao family in Jinling, congratulations to the head of the family for finding a good son-in-law!" Du Sheng smiled at Ding Yue and said.

Ding Yue returned the salute and said, "My lord has won the prize!"

With Xiao Baiyu's help, how can Zhang Long withstand it? It's just that he can be regarded as a man after all, and he would rather die than surrender.

As soon as Zhang Long died, the people of the Zhang family surrendered. Du Sheng said: "Now that batch of tributes is still in Zhangfu, and I asked the head of the family to send some people to transport it back, now that time is running out, Dingfu should send the tribute to Bianjing earlier!"

"Obey your lordship's orders!" Ding Yue saluted Du Sheng again.

At this point, Shen Guhong knew that the Zhang family was finished. At that moment, he returned with everyone, Ding Mansion, and there were more doubts in his heart.

In the afternoon, the news of the Zhang family's robbery of tributes has spread all over the Daimyo's Mansion, and some people scold and sigh for the Zhang family's copying, and the entire Daimyo's Mansion is boiling. But at this time, an even more shocking news came, the biggest gang in the Daimyo Mansion was completely wiped out, and no one was alive. This news is more shocking than the copying of Zhang's family. Because the Evergreen Gang can be regarded as a cancer in this daimyo's mansion, the people in the city have been harmed by them to some extent. When they heard that the Evergreen Gang had been destroyed, people were shocked and applauded.

The tribute of the Ding Mansion has been recovered, and the escort person this time is Wei Dong, who sent fifty masters to escort him, and the government also sent people to assist, so that it is really foolproof.

Above the lobby, the important figures of Zhao Yuan, Lu Fang, and Wu Dahai's Ding Mansion were all there, Ding Yue looked at everyone and said: "After this lesson, I hope you will be cautious when doing things, if this batch of tributes is really lost, then our Ding Mansion will really be finished today!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded. At that moment, Ding Yue arranged characters for everyone again, and after everyone remembered them one by one, they only heard Ding Yue say: "Okay, you can leave!"

But at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and Ding Yue naturally heard the voice of someone outside, he turned out to be Han Sanwhip from the Yamen. Ding Yue frowned slightly, and greeted everyone together: "I don't know if Han Zhutou is here, what advice do you have?"

Han San whipped and said: "I don't dare to give advice, but I'm afraid I have to ask the head of the Ding family to go with Han!"

"What does Han Zhutou mean?" Ding Yue's brows furrowed, but his shriveled eyes were full of fierceness.

"In the afternoon, I waited to check the scene of the Evergreen Gang, and we found at the scene that Long Fifteen was holding this thing tightly before he died, I wonder if the head of the Ding family can explain it?" Han San took out a piece of white jade, which was the jade pendant that Ding Yue usually wore on his waist, and at this time he touched his belt consciously, obviously the jade pendant was no longer there.

"Han Zhutou means that I killed the people of the Evergreen Gang?" Ding Yue said lightly.

Han San whipped and said: "With this jade pendant alone, you can also say that it was stolen, but the people of the Evergreen Gang all died under the 'Heavenly Eagle Throat Lock Technique', just ask, in this Daimyo's Mansion, who else can do this kung fu? In addition, who can steal the jade pendant of the famous Eagle King?"

Ding Yue nodded: "It seems that I am indeed the most suspicious!"

"Then please ask the head of the Ding family to come with me!" Han San whipped.

Ding Yi said: "Han Zhutou, are you mistaken, my father is ······?"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ding Yue: "Okay, after I leave, you will take care of the affairs of the Ding family together with Shopkeeper Zhang, Shopkeeper Lu, and Shopkeeper Wu, Shopkeeper Wu is experienced, you can ask him for more advice!"

"Father, but ······" Ding Yi was suddenly anxious.

"There's nothing, remember, I can fall, but the Ding family can't fall, take care of Xiaocheng!" Ding Yue said lightly.

Ding Yi's tears were already flowing, but he still nodded.

Shen Guhong had just returned to the house and hadn't rested for a moment, when Ding's Mansion suddenly became noisy again. When he walked out of the courtyard, he realized that Ding Yue had been taken to the yamen.

Ding Cheng came back at this time, and after learning the news, the first one was not calm.

"No, I'm going to the Yamen!" Ding Cheng stood up, but was pulled by Shen Guhong and said, "You calm down first!"

"That's my father, how can I be calm!" Ding Cheng said.

Shen Guhong said: "But it won't help you to go to the Yamen, unless you find out the murderer behind the murder of everyone in the Evergreen Gang." ”

"Yes, you're right, I should go to the Evergreen Gang first!" Ding Cheng's whole person was suddenly confused.

But at this moment, Ding Yi walked into the courtyard and said, "Don't go anywhere!"

"Sister, I have to go, that's our father!" Ding Chengdao.

Ding Yi said: "You can study with peace of mind, and I will do the rest!"

"No, I have to go!" Once Ding Cheng is stubborn, no one can stop him.

Ding Yi said: "Are you still idle and chaotic enough? Since you were a child, you only know how to be naughty and mischievous, if you pay attention earlier, you may really be able to help." ”

When Ding Cheng heard this, his eyes showed shame, and he was so soft that he fell to the ground. Ding Yi took a deep breath, looked at Shen Guhong, and choked up, "Look at him!"

Shen Guhong nodded slightly, he was also extremely uncomfortable in his heart, these days, he and Ding Cheng have become friends.

"Let's go into the house, there is news coming, the eldest lady will inform you!" Shen Guhong said softly.

Ding Cheng nodded, his eyes were empty at this time, like a walking corpse. After Shen Guhong entered the house, he straightened out his thoughts: "Before last night, that batch of tributes definitely did not leave the cloth village, that is to say, the tributes were robbed, but it was just a play performed by Wu Dahai and Ding Yue, the purpose of which was to blame the Zhang family and get rid of this opponent." This would explain why Ding Yue still went to Wu Mansion and Buzhuang late at night. If it is as expected, someone in Zhang's Mansion should persuade Ding Yue to be a traitor, so that the token of Zhang's Mansion can be found on the spot, and in addition, the carriage that went out from Buzhuang last night can also enter Zhang's Mansion, this heavy layout is designed by Ding Yue. It's a pity that while he is calculating others, others are also calculating him, his jade pendant and martial arts appeared in the Evergreen Gang, this is another bureau arranged by another person, but I don't know who this layout will be?"

Shen Guhong's eyes flashed slightly: "Now that the Zhang Mansion and the Evergreen Gang have been destroyed and Ding Yue is in prison, who will be the biggest beneficiary?"

Inside the prefect's yamen, Du Sheng held a bow and arrow aimed at a big tree in the courtyard. At this time, on the big tree, a cicada was proudly barking, but it did not notice that a praying mantis was approaching. And the praying mantis didn't know that there was a Du Sheng behind him who was holding a bow and pulling arrows.

"Your Excellency, you're so interested!" a voice said. Du Sheng couldn't help but turn his head sideways, only to see Han Sanwhip walking towards him.

"The three whips are coming!" Du Sheng put down his bow and arrows and said with a smile.

Han San whipped and said: "It seems that the martial arts of the adults are still above the subordinates, but the subordinates were clumsy before!"

"How can you see it?" Du Sheng said lightly.

"This bow has at least eight hundred stones, and it is extremely laborious for subordinates to pull it out, but adults can easily pull it out!" Han San whipped.

"Three whips are good eyesight!" Du Sheng applauded.

"The Evergreen Gang perished, the Zhang family was copied, and now that Ding Yue has been arrested, the Ding family will inevitably decline, presumably all of this is the credit of the adults!"

"The three whips seem to have something to say today?" Du Sheng pulled up his bow and arrow again, pulled it away and aimed at the big tree opposite. At this moment, the praying mantis was already approaching the chirping cicada, its paws had been raised, and it slowly pressed on the cicada's body, and the cicada screamed a few times, and finally stopped. At this moment, Du Sheng's arrow also shot out, nailing the cicada and praying mantis to the tree.

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind, the adult is really a good means!" Han San whipped.

Du Sheng laughed and said, "The three whips are laughing again, where did the yellow finch come from here?"

Han Sanwhip nodded: "There is indeed no yellow finch, only an adult with a bow and arrow!"

"The three whips are really getting more and more funny!" Du Sheng laughed again.

"The three major forces in the Daimyo Mansion have been eliminated, and the entire Daimyo Mansion has been completely in the hands of the adults, and I must have no longer dared to make trouble in the city, I, the head catcher, will definitely be idle, and I am also ashamed to lead the head, because my subordinates want to resign from the post of head catcher and return to the rivers and lakes, please allow the lord!" Han San whipped.

"Three whips, the merits you have made over the years are all in the eyes of the official, no matter when, the people of this famous mansion need you, and the official also needs you!" Du Sheng said.

Han Sanwhip shook his head slightly, and said: "What is the use of the adult's means to reach the sky, what is the use of his subordinates? Sanwhip was originally a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, and now he has returned to the rivers and lakes, and it is also the best destination!"

"Alas, do you really want to leave?" Du Sheng's eyes faintly burst out with murderous intent, but with Han Sanwhip's ability, he couldn't feel it.

Han Sanshu nodded: "Please be fulfilled!"

"Okay, since you have made up your mind to go, then the official will no longer stop you, and when you pass by the Daimyo Mansion in the future, remember to come back and sit down!" Du Sheng's words contained regret, and the murderous intent in his eyes had long since disappeared.

"Thank you, sir!" Han San finished saluting and left. Du Sheng looked at his departing back, and his eyes gradually became cold: "Stubborn, this famous mansion is a place where there is a king's law, do you want this official to look at their faces in whatever he does?"

At that moment, Du Sheng picked up the bow and arrow again, the bowstring was opened, and the arrow flew out, shooting through the big tree.
