Chapter 16: Catching the Thief

Not long after, the "Tampoo" approached only a dozen feet away and slowly stopped.

Zhao Dongli's assault and failure on the boat were seen by the three people on the ship, Tang Shu was about to make a move, Cao Zheng reached out and pressed his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "This person's sword technique is the martial art of the contempt gang, how can I let me go first." ”

Hearing Cao Zheng's words, Tang Shu stopped his movements and motioned for Cao Zheng to please.

Cao Zheng nodded to the lord of Huaying, and as soon as he stepped on the side of the ship, he rushed towards the target like a cannonball.

After the leader of the thieves finished speaking, he pounced, and Zhao Dongli had no knife at this time, so he simply used the Zhao family's swimming palm, and avoided it dangerously, but the strong wind still made him feel pain.

Is the gap between the Tone Realm and the Enlightenment Realm so big?Zhao Dong ignited the desire to become stronger, but at the moment he didn't have more effort to think, he rolled and dodged the attack of the thief leader, but was hit in the shoulder by a kick from the lightning kick later.

When the energy entered the body, it destroyed the defenses in Zhao Dongli's body.

Zhao Dongli spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, but he didn't dare to give up, and after falling, he still rolled backwards for a few weeks, hoping to avoid the follow-up attack.

The leader of the thieves laughed twice, and was about to step forward to kill this young man who came out of his ability, but he looked up in shock, and there was a strong energy rushing from above, and there was a black spot in his field of vision that changed from small to large, like a big bird predatoring, and fell down violently.

Cao Zheng jumped like this, like an eagle pounced on a rabbit, before anyone arrived, the momentum had completely enveloped the leader of the thieves, and his strength even formed an aura, which went straight down.

The leader of the thieves was intimidated by Cao Zheng's momentum for a while, and knew that a master was coming, so he completely gave up the pursuit of Zhao Dongli, but faced Cao Zheng instead, but the strength of the person who came actually formed a rough aura, indicating that the person who came was obviously a martial artist who had opened the six orifices.

After the martial artist opens the eyes, ears, and nose, he can produce qi momentum, which is actually to control the air in a certain space with his own internal force to form an aura, which varies according to the different exercises practiced by each person.

The aura can be attacked and defended, for the martial artist, it is tantamount to a big leap, which must have a full understanding of the self's body, in order to form this aura from the inside out.

Therefore, in Great Xia, all martial artists are recognized, and with an aura, martial artists are first-class masters.

Faced with an enemy that was getting closer, the leader of the thieves knew that he was invincible, but he was unwilling to rest on his laurels, and now he had no determination to complete the task, but to fight for his life.

The leader of the thieves shouted, and threw a punch at the falling Cao Zheng, in this punch, he had no reservations, and even used a little trick to quickly stimulate the internal force, although it may leave hidden dangers afterwards, but now it is no longer concerned.

Cao Zheng, who was falling rapidly, of course saw the thief leader's counterattack, but he didn't care about it, and this kind of character also wanted to resist.

He secretly used his internal strength, bent his claws with one hand, and grabbed downward.

The leader of the thieves was shocked to find that the aura that enveloped his whole body had a slight twist, and he was exerting force all over his body.

Therefore, when Cao Zheng's aura affected the coordination of the power transmission of the thief leader, the thief leader's fist strength was weak, and the power was greatly reduced.

The leader of the thieves didn't have time to change his moves, and at this time, the change of moves exposed the empty door to Cao Zheng, so he could only maintain the original fist momentum, but how powerful it could be, even he didn't dare to guess.

"Bang!"

Cao Zheng's left hand just grabbed the fist of the leader of the thieves, and there was a sound of fists and palms in the air, and Cao Zheng's internal strength invaded along the fist of the leader of the thieves.

Cao Zheng's left hand was like an iron gate firmly clamping the fist of the leader of the thieves, and his right hand slapped it on his chest. 、

The leader of the thieves couldn't take off his right hand, so he could only slam his left hand into Cao Zheng's face.

And Cao Zheng's right hand remained unchanged, but he grabbed the left hand of the thief leader lightly, and his aura turned again, making the thief leader's swing turn into a weak blow again, and his right hand was lightly imprinted on the thief leader's chest.

This blow, the strength is transmitted like the tendons of the thief leader, and it temporarily disperses the internal force of the thief leader, and now the thief leader can't help it anymore, and a mouthful of blood spurts out.

When there was no room for it, Cao Zheng withdrew his hand and turned sideways to avoid the blood spurted out by the leader of the thieves.

Without Cao Zheng's restraint, the leader of the thieves fell to the ground weakly.

At this time, Tang Shu and Lord Huaying fell on the bow of the ship, and after a while, when the distance between the two ships was close to three zhang, several sergeants came on board.

And the other thieves on the ship were supposed to come to the rescue, but they didn't expect their boss to be caught by someone so easily, they all know the strength of the boss, so wouldn't the person who came be a master, even if they were all on it, they couldn't beat it.

Therefore, the thieves who saw the leader of the thieves being captured jumped into the river one after another. On the contrary, the thieves who were fighting the fire at the stern of the ship did not react for a while, and were injured by Tang Shu and the lord of Huaying one by one, and were tied up by the subsequent sergeants.

As soon as Tang Shu reached the bow deck, he said, "This ship is no longer saved." The fire was too big. Hurry up and get back to the Tampoo!"

Everyone obeyed the order, and the sergeants escorted Lin Zhengfang's brothers and sisters, Zhao Dongli, the leader of the thieves and several thieves to the "Tampo" together.

After a busy life, Lin Zhengfang's brother and sister and Zhao Dong were together, the younger sister was already wearing a piece of clothing, and the leader of the thieves and several thieves were tied together.

The county lord of Huaying held a long whip and pointed at the leader of the thieves and said, "Where did you come from to do evil in Xingyang Mansion?"

Prince Yong has been in Yongzhou for generations, operating in Yongzhou for hundreds of years, and his influence is all over the Yongzhou government and the people, and his status is still above the history of Yongzhou, so the people who come out of Yongwang's Mansion are born with a sense of ownership.

Lord Huaying's question is really justified.

The leader of the thieves was silent.

The atmosphere was cold for a while, and the lord of Huaying was about to be angry, but Tang Chu saw the clue and said: "I didn't expect that Cao Gongzi's dragon claw hand had actually practiced to such a freewheeling realm, which could lock people's internal strength and muscles, no wonder this person couldn't speak." “

"It turned out to be a good thing you did. Lord Huaying pouted towards Cao Zheng.

Cao Zheng turned out the iron fan at this time, shook it a few times, and said, "Why don't I untie his control now." ”

"Wait!" Tang Chop shook his head, "You might as well ask the victim first." ”

When the lord of Huaying County heard this, he turned his head to Lin Zhengfang's brothers and sisters and Zhao Dongli, and said, "Who are you? Why did this gang of thieves come to arrest you? So many people on the ship were killed? If you have any grievances, you can also tell me that in this place in Yongzhou, I see who dares not to listen to me!"

Zhao Dongli's injury was stable at this moment, so he said: "I just suffered an unwarranted disaster, and this group of people are here to arrest their brothers and sisters." “

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Zhengfang's brothers and sisters.

After the two of them glanced at each other, Lin Zhengfang already knew that it was the famous Huaying County Lord of Yongzhou who asked them at this moment, and said with a hopeful expression on his face: "My brother and sister are from the Lin family in Yulin Town, Zhongmu County, my family has a mine, although the mine is small, but the iron ore produced is of good quality, and the refined iron stone will be paid to the royal family after preliminary calcination and refining in the county seat of Zhongmu County." Similar to all the mines of our Lin family, there are more than a dozen large and small mines in Zhongmu County. “

Hearing this, the lord of Huaying turned to Tang Chop, and Tang Chop nodded and said, "Zhongmu County is rich in iron ore, and it is one of the tributes that our Xingyang County supplies to the royal family. “

Lin Zhengfang continued: "Last month, a mysterious ore was dug up in the depths of my mine, the surface was dull, smooth and cold to the touch. Burning in a furnace doesn't hurt a point. “

"We thought it was a magical ore that could be forged into a magic weapon. So he kept the mysterious ore and prepared to sell it at a price. “

Lord Huaying said angrily: "Why don't you sell it to us." “

Lin Zhengfang stopped, slightly embarrassed.

Tang Shu interjected: "The stewards of this palace in various places have abused the power of the prince, it is customary to reduce prices, and it is also common to deduct and exploit, and it has a bad reputation outside. “

Lord Huaying glared and said, "If they dare, if I go back, I will definitely find out a few moths and put them all in prison." “

Tang Shu still said expressionlessly: "The price reduction is acquiesced by the prince, so that you can buy more things with the least amount of money." The cost of the palace is too great, so it has to be done. “

Lord Huaying was stunned and said, "How did my father acquiesce." “

Tang Shu opened his mouth again: "For example, the silver fox cloak that the county lord wanted last year, although it was bought at a relatively low price, it still cost a full three thousand taels of silver, which is the silver of sixty palace guards for a year. ”

It turned out that she was also a big spender herself, and the county lord of Huaying couldn't help blushing, angry and annoyed.

Cao Zheng came over with a smile and said: "I have heard that Prince Yong's brother Tang is in a high position, but he came to eat and sleep with the soldiers, and he also quarreled with the prince because of the sergeant's silver, and he was deeply loved by the army, and his reputation is well deserved." ”

Lord Huaying said angrily: "Cao Zheng, are you looking at my jokes." ”

Cao Zheng lowered his head and arched his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare." The villain is willing to give Brother Tang's subordinates 10,000 taels of silver for subsidy. ”

Tang Shu's eyes were cold, and he said: "I belong to the prince's army, how can I be funded by outsiders, Cao Gongzi should not deceive others." “

The lord of Huaying County shouted: "Why don't you want Tang to behead, it's rare for a fool like Cao Zheng to send money." “

Cao Zheng was stunned for a moment, he was in good intentions, but he didn't expect this joint, and hurriedly bowed to the end and said: "It's me who is abrupt, if you have a heart, I am willing to send 100,000 taels of silver to the prince." “

Not only has the gift and the given changed amount, but even the amount has increased tenfold, which is the difference between the different objects.

Lord Huaying smiled and said, "Cao Zheng, you are so generous. “

Cao Zheng smiled "hehe", pointed at Lin Zhengfang, and motioned to the lord of Huaying to continue listening.
