Chen Xiong listened to Liang Qiyun's worries and sighed, and continued: "This errand really makes us a little powerless, we have to deal with the martial arts people, and there must be a master who has been trained in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but Lord Liang can rest assured, no matter what, he can't fight against the government, we have a lot of generals, and they are not all masters, as long as we surround them, we will definitely have gains." ”

Chen Xiong is also a native of the rivers and lakes, he knows very well the power of those masters, and he doesn't dare to say anything about this, annihilating the murderer or capturing him alive.

Liang Qiyun didn't care about this, what he wanted to hear was encouragement and motivation to fight, Chen Xiong's words he listened to comfortably, that is, he exaggerated the enemy and improved himself, but he still said humbly: "I hope we can catch them!"

Cao Huan then said: "Brother Liang, Brother Chen, then can we still chase down, I am afraid that this team of men and horses will be transferred farther away by him, and it will be too late to retreat." ”

Chen Xiong has already said: "Brother Cao is right, but there are only two directions to go all the way, one is the border of Bazhong, and the other is Tongjiang, which is already in Bazhong, and it is only a few dozen miles to the city, so we might as well go there first to rest and wait for the news to catch up, and the brothers can't stand this way." ”

Although Liang Qiyun and Cao Huan didn't say it, they also had this idea in their hearts, and when Chen Xiong said it, they immediately echoed the 'good' and the three of them closed their eyes and rested.

After a long rest, the horse had eased up, and his stomach was also filled, Shen Mad was worried in his heart, he couldn't wait any longer, so he turned over and got on the horse, urging the horse to go to the main road, and along the main road to meet the grass pond, Peiyang, and Xinchang where they might pass by.

After the sound of the gong of the fifth watch, several villagers gathered in the inn, the unconscious Liu Ping'er was lying on the table, Chang Yuheng was also lying in Fluttershy's house, and a villager looked at the three corpses of Leader Wang and the others and the corpse of the boss were neatly placed on the floor of the hall.

A villager said: "Brother Chu, let's take this person and the one in the backyard back first, tie it strongly, don't wake up and run away!

This eldest brother surnamed Chu is the local captain of the township brave, Chu Cheng, where the officials are not as good as the official, and the township warrior is used everywhere to ensure local law and order.

Chu Cheng frowned and continued: "Erhei, then you go to the store to find some ropes, let's take these two people back first, see that there are thieves coming in after a while, this king thief entered the town in the afternoon, we stared at him There were six or seven people, I thought they were gone, and now the three are dead here, and the three must have run away."

Er Hei heard Chu Cheng's words, hurriedly responded, turned around and went upstairs to find a rope, it was not the first time he had done this, and it was the same without a rope to tear off the sheets and curtains.

A villager beside Chu Cheng said worriedly: "Brother Chu, what should we do, this group of bandits haunts and secrets, but there are many people and leaders, the government has not exterminated them several times, if there are more people coming back later, we can't stop them." ”

Chu Cheng also seemed to be flustered, took two steps back and forth, and then fixed his body and said: "If you can't stop them, then leave them alone, if they really go out to harm the villagers this time, we will shout with torches on all sides, and there is no way to scare them away, can the soldiers and horses defending the city in Tongjiang be recruited and transferred for a while! At most, there will be a catcher, two catchers, and a few officials, and they won't dare to fight hard with the bandits when they come!"

Several villagers also couldn't do anything about this bandit, and no one had an idea for a while.

Erhei really pulled some sheets and twisted them into ropes and came down from the upstairs, and the top priority was to tie Liu Ping'er up, and tie them hand and foot. Erhei walked to the backyard again under Chu Cheng's orders, and before he could take a few steps, the sound of a series of horses' hooves galloping outside the inn came.

Chu Cheng and a few villagers ran out with Erhei.

A brown horse screamed and stopped, a villager turned over and dismounted, rushed over in a hurry, and said to Chu Cheng who met him with a wheezing breath: "Brother Chu, this is trouble, the torches in the distance outside the town are bright, and the sound of horses' hooves is loud, it is estimated that the brigade of bandits is about to arrive." ”

Chu Cheng and a few villagers trembled for a while when they heard this, and Chu Cheng said in a panic: "They must come here first, let's go quickly." ”

Erhei was sober, he couldn't tie Liu Ping'er for a long time, and was busy saying, "Brother Chu, let's take the person on the table away first!"

Chu Cheng said in a panic: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

After Chu Cheng finished speaking, he glanced at a few villagers who were also stunned, and said hurriedly: "You guys go and carry people, call Liu Da, and leave the backyard one alone."

Everyone responded, and ran to the hall, tied Liu Ping'er was also easy to carry, four people each lifted one end, carried Liu Ping'er out like goods, put it on horseback, the backyard of the village Yong, Liu Da, also followed, one pulled the horse, and everyone turned into the alley together.

In just a few moments, the sound of galloping horses' hooves had come to the entrance of the town.

The torches were bright, and the leader had stopped at the entrance of the town, and dozens of people behind him also stopped their horses.

The leader's eyes were looking into the town, and his ears were listening. In a moment, the leader waved his hand and took the lead in leading the horse into the town, followed by a team of neighing horses and chasing after them.

There were only four corpses lying in the inn and hall, and there were no signs of destruction from the fighting.

The sun had not yet risen in the east, and the light was already shining in from outside the open door of the inn.

The people who woke up from the shops along the street were frightened and stayed in the house, no one dared to come out, and there was a commotion from the shop, it was estimated that most of them were hiding valuables, and they had been forced to prepare to withstand the thieves slamming the door and robbing them.

This group of bandits is not all the bandits who often harass the nearby villages, and the three caves of cunning rabbits, this group of bandits can escape the government's clean-up because they are not hiding together, but two major places are separated, and several sub-point observation posts are set up, so that they can escape in time if there is a clean-up.

At this time, the bandits who came were some of the mountain thieves who settled in the area of Agate Village and Lotus Mountain, led by the second master of the black heart, Zhong Poyan and the third master, and the three-eyed judgment and Zhen Che.

The black-hearted ghost and Zhong Poyan walked from the light like a god, and when they entered the inn, the aura retreated, and the three-eyed judgment and Zhen Che also followed suit, and dozens of people flocked in behind.

Zhong Poyan looked at several corpses on the ground, his eyes did not show any regret, and said in a deep voice: "Upstairs, downstairs, backyard, side yard, all search carefully." ”

Zhong Poyan took two steps forward, sat on the stool next to the corpse, and looked at the corpse with cold eyes again.

Nearly fifty bandits habitually left five people on all sides of the street, one person guarded at the door, responsible for horses and monitoring the movement of the four directions, the rest left less than ten people, most of the bandits have gone upstairs, downstairs, backyard, side yard scattered in all directions, Zhen Che shouted loudly: "Alive, dead, bring it if it is a person." ”

In a moment, the sound of cups, plates, altars, and jars shattering became one, and the sound of the doors falling upstairs and tables turning over one after another.

A thief ran eagerly from the backyard and reported to Zhong Poyan panting: "The second master, there are people in the backyard, who were poured by medicine." ”

Zhong Poyan had already stood up, hurried to the backyard, and shouted: "Third child, bring Liangzi to recognize people!"

Zhong Poyan had already taken the lead, and Zhen Che said to the person next to him: "Liangzi, go!"

Liang Zi was busy walking to the backyard with Zhen Che, this Liang Zi was one of the few people in Zhenkou, and his state at this time seemed to be still in that thrilling time - sluggish, his eyes were dull.

Chang Yuheng has been carried by four people hand and foot in the courtyard, Zhong Poyan has already come, Zhen Che and Liang Zi also followed quickly, Liang Zi stepped forward to slap his eyes and said: "The second master, it's him!"

Zhong Poyan didn't say anything yet, Liang Zi said again: "The second is in charge, there are four of them, and two of them are women, they are really good-looking!"

Zhong Poyan glanced at Liang Zi, and said in a deep voice: "Come out, grab these people for two thousand taels of silver, and then not only strengthen the cottage, but also let you live happily for a few days." ”

Liang Zi was naturally very excited when he heard this, and his face was full of sinister smiles.

Zhen Che unconsciously let out a sigh, looking at Chang Yuheng and being a little sluggish, he should be thinking about things.

Zhong Poyan looked at Zhen Che and said, "Third child, what are you sighing, what's wrong?"

Zhen Che came back to his senses and said, "Second brother, don't you see it? The three brothers outside were all pierced by a sword, it seems that Wang Hai and they were drugged, but who knew that the powerful murderer was drugged, and he killed them when he came up, and this corpse should have been moved from the courtyard, you see the blood stains on the ground." ”

Zhong Poyan continued: "I saw it when I came in, and I was also wondering, they could move the body to the hall, why couldn't they take this away when they left." ”

Zhong Poyan said and pointed to Chang Yuheng lying on the ground.

Zhen Che continued: "Unless this corpse was not moved by them, someone must have arrived, so that they don't even have time to take away their companions." ”

At this time, Liang Zi said with a lot of mouth: "The second master, there is no fast arrest in this town, is it that those villagers patrolled here and scared them away?"

Zhen Che smiled bitterly, Zhong Poyan didn't bother to laugh at him, frowned and said helplessly: "When can you become smarter, no matter how bad Wang Hai is, he is more ruthless than a few townsmen! It is estimated that he didn't even blink an eyelid when he killed Wang Hai and them, Wang Hai and they didn't fight back at all, is it worth letting those townsmen run so anxious?"

Liang Zi was still a little unconvinced, but he still lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhen Che has already said: "Second brother, don't talk about him, anyway, he went far to report the news, which can be regarded as a little merit." ”

Zhong Poyan still glanced at Liang Zi again, and said helplessly: "I want him to make some merit, so I brought him out, this merit is still snatched, how can Xiao Wu provoke such a brother-in-law." ”

Zhen Che also smiled, and then said exactly: "Second brother, now we have such a one in our hands, it is difficult to say whether it is a murderer on the list, but the two guys who collect accounts in the heavy sword gate come in the afternoon and run away at night, it is estimated that it is really like Wang Hai and they expected, the guy who escaped really ran with the news of this piece of fat, it is estimated that the heavy sword gate will come out of the nest and rush here at dawn, and the fourth is no more, we can't deal with the old boy who regrets it." ”
