Chapter 37: Wrestling with the Parties (4)
"Zhan Zhutou, are there any people under your command who have any connection with those thieves last night?"
In front of him was the gate of the Penglai Inn, from the Xianke Residence in the east of the city to the Penglai Inn in the west of the city, Zhan Yunqin, who had mediocre martial arts, spent half an hour on the road. When he came here, at www.biquge.info the corner of the avenue between him, a young man with kind eyebrows was waving to him, and at his feet was kneeling a man with a big tie, and at his feet lay several unconscious people. Among these people are men and women, from the elderly to the twenty-eight girls, but there are no children.
"What do you mean?"
Zhan Yunqin made a gesture to stop a servant beside him, and when he approached the young man's side, he saw a few familiar faces standing behind the young man. Needless to say, Ji Hualian, the number one master of the Chu family, Chu Cang, and Zhuge Hui, the Situ family's think tank, can be listed behind one person together, and this is the first time Zhan Yunqin has seen him.
"This kid's methods are really extraordinary, and he taught the Chu family and the Situ family for him to drive with a single word. Then he thought again: "In order to clear the suspicion, the Chu family and the Situ family should naturally stand behind the Sikong boy at this time, and the Shenmen gave a big gift at this delicate moment, and taught Jiangning Wulin to work together, how could the Sikong boy's luck be so good?"
"Zhan Zhutou, so many Shenmen spies are walking on the street, but the Jiangning official doesn't know at all?"
Zhan Yunqin only determined at this time that these people who fell to the ground were all disciples of the Divine Sect. After a closer look, the old man's wig was a little crooked, and he thought that Sikong Gu had confirmed the identities of these people.
"Sikong Shaoxia, although those people under me are not as capable as the knights, they are all loyal to the government and the court, and no one will have anything to do with the thieves. ”
"Zhan Zhutou, the younger brother is thinking, is it possible that some people do not have a good relationship with Zhan Zhutou on weekdays, so in this matter, I hope that Zhan Zhutou and the younger brother will be together...... What about the heel?"
The corners of Sikong Gu's mouth rose, and this slightly friendly smile suddenly became a little more hideous. Zhan Yunqin's breath stagnated, but he found that Sikong Gu had regained that kind of friendly and smiling appearance, just like a meteor in the sky that was fleeting, leaving only traces in Zhan Yunqin's eyes.
Zhan Yunqin obviously understood Sikong Gu's question, but he still shook his head and said: "None of my brothers dare to collude with the Divine Gate, if Sikong Shaoxia wants to hold them accountable for 'protecting the people', then Zhan is willing to apologize to Sikong Shaoxia for his brothers." ”
Sikong Gu hurriedly bowed his hand, lowered his head slightly, and said again and again: "How dare you, how dare you...... It's the little brother who is too worried, and I hope Zhan catches his head and forgives me. ”
Zhan Yunqin waved his hand, and only said in his heart: "I have never known you in my life, if there is no matter today, I think there will be no intersection in this life, besides, after solving this case, my Zhan someone will be transferred from Jiangning just around the corner, why should I have anything to do with you in these matters?"
Ji Hualian, who was standing on Sikong's side, sighed in his heart: "Zhan Zhutou, since you don't know how to hand over the life talisman, then I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your head next, right?"
Thinking of this, Ji Hualian glanced at Sikong Gu again, last night he thought that he already knew everything about him, but now he was shrouded in clouds and mist again, making people not know their true faces.
"Who is this person?"
Zhan Yunqin pointed to the man who was kneeling on the ground and was tied up like a crab, and asked Sikong Gu.
"This person is probably the leader of these people, but it's a pity that he refuses to tell the truth, Zhan Zhutou should also know that those of us who go to the rivers and lakes are all rough people, and we don't have a lot of seriousness when we move, so we have to tie him up, so that so many of us don't accidentally hurt him. ”
"Accidentally...... Hurt him?"
"If he doesn't obey and wants to run away, we have to stop him......, right? Doesn't it make it difficult for Zhan to catch his head?"
Sikong said with a smile in his mouth. At this time, it was obviously early summer, and it was afternoon at this time, which should have been extremely hot, but Zhan Yunqin could still feel a slight chill coming to his face.
Zhan Yunqin nodded and said, "Take the cloth from his mouth and let me ask him." ”
"No need, what he should have said has already been said, if Zhan Zhutou wants to solve the case clearly, it is better to go into the inn and ask the people inside. ”
"You're not ......"
"We are rough people, we are more impatient, Zhan Zhutou has not come for a long time, we really don't have much patience. ”
Zhan Yunqin was stunned, and glanced at Ji Hualian again, only to see Ji Hualian showing a helpless look, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't ask anything famous. Look at this kneeling man again, although his head is held high, his eyes are already bloodshot, and if you look closely, the bruises in his throat and the bruises in his chest. The man seemed to notice Zhan Yunqin's gaze, and a pair of eyes as big as copper bells stared at Zhan Yunqin, which were full of murderous aura.
"He said something. ”
"He was just ordered to find out. ”
"Whose order?"
"Liu Su, the hall master of the Divine Gate Kuntang, there is also a sword-wielding envoy full of red sand. ”
Hearing these two names, Zhan Yunqin, who was very familiar with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, calmed down for a long time, and after suppressing the urge to confirm, he nodded with difficulty.
"In order to deal with it, Shenmen really spared no expense. ”
Although Sikong Gu's tone was an exclamation, in everyone's ears, his meaning of showing off was obvious.
Zhuge Hui shook the folding fan lightly, because Chu Zhongcheng was not around, he regained the unique look of a scribe, and patted Sikong Gu with a sycophant who didn't want money: "Sikong Shaoxia's martial arts are world-famous, and he is not allowed to pay attention to it." Zhan Zhutou, Situ Jia implored Zhan Zhutou to arrest the criminal head in that inn and bring it to justice for Jiangning City. ”
Chu Cang also echoed at this time: "The Chu family also implores Zhan Zhutou to remove this great harm for Jiangning Wulin. ”
Although he was surprised that the Divine Gate actually dispatched a hall master and a sword-wielding envoy to deal with Sikong Gu, this strength was really beyond Zhan Yunqin's expectations, but Zhan Yunqin knew better than anyone how he should express his attitude at this time: "If these people can't be arrested and brought to justice to correct the law, how can Zhan be worthy of all your fellow martial artists, how can he be worthy of the dozens of unjust souls last night?"
"Zhan Zhutou, please!"
In this way, Zhan Yunqin walked in the front, Sikong Gu and other people in the martial arts followed, and then behind, there were many officials who caught fast, and the group was mighty, and when it was only more than 20 zhang away from the Penglai Inn, it was seen by a short-clothed man who was guarding the door. The man in short clothes was also stunned when he saw the yamen and the people from the rivers and lakes coming, and was about to step forward to ask questions, but suddenly felt a pain in his back.
The man in short clothes reached out and touched it, wet, slimy, like blood stains, and there were bursts of numbness from the pain, the man in short clothes knew that something was wrong, and when he turned around, he saw a guy in the lobby of the inn who was stunned and looked at a few people who were dressed similarly to himself lying on the table, and when the jar of wine in the man's hand smashed on the ground, the man in short clothes also lost his last trace of consciousness.
"Go and tell your treasurers to come down. ”
Zhan Yunqin didn't care about the fallen Shenmen people one by one, he knew very well that this was not just a case, but also the first collision between Jiangning's local martial arts and Jiangbei's martial arts forces in more than ten years.
"This Sikong Gu is really capable. ”
When the guy in front of him wiped his hands and ran upstairs in three steps and two steps, Zhan Yunqin couldn't help but glance at Sikong Gu again and sighed.
