The next morning, at the beginning of dawn, Yi Weiyi sat alone, drinking in the inn, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, recklessly broke into a group of people, dressed as an official, rushed into the inn viciously, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the store to find, several guys in the store wanted to step forward to stop, was overturned to the ground, Yi Weiyi sat aside, and knew that the two leaders were none other than Tang Guan and Song Kai, who came to the inn yesterday to make trouble.

Several guys were injured on the ground, and those few catchers did not stop, and the guys in the store did not give in because of this, took sticks, and fought with catchers, Tang Guan and Song Kai were angry and ashamed, and were about to draw knives to fight, but suddenly, they were drunk.

Everyone turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a person came in, eight feet long, as soon as they saw that person, Tang Guan and Song Kai stopped their hands, hurriedly put away their knives, stood behind the man, and politely called "He catches the head".

Yi Weiyi, who was sitting on the side, also moved his gaze from the wine glass to the person, Yi Weiyi also knew that person, it was He Zicang, the head catcher he met when he rescued Yu Zhensheng and Zhong Huamei in the woods a few months ago.

He Zicang stood in the inn, all the catchers quickly stopped their hands, no longer fighting, the chaos has improved to a certain extent, at this time, the innkeeper came to He Zicang's side, said: "He catcher, why do you come to the small shop today?"

He Zicang's gaze stayed on the innkeeper's body for a while, and said: "Shopkeeper Cheng, I came here today mainly to find the lost Juque Sword in the General's Mansion, and I hope that the shopkeeper will give it convenience." ”

"Oh, I see, the villain thought that he offended Tang Guan and Song Kai yesterday, and today he came to trouble the shop. ”

"Tell me what is the matter, and I will do you justice." He Zicang said.

He Zicang is a rare good official in today's [***] officialdom who is dedicated to the people, but he is too pedantic in doing things, just following the golden rules, not knowing how to be flexible, and bent on changing the current social status quo through his own efforts.

"He Zhutou, yesterday Tang Guan, Song Kai two officials, came to the store to drink and eat, after a few glasses, full of wine and food, the two officials left, I went to ask for wine money, was seriously injured, and therefore offended the two masters, the two officials asked for a thousand taels of silver from the shop, the shop is a small business, where to get a thousand taels of silver, the villain is afraid of losing his job, this is to ask He Zhutou for an explanation. ”

While speaking, the innkeeper secretly signaled to Yi Weiyi on the side, Yi Weiyi understood in his heart, he saw that He Zicang was not a bully and a bully, and knew that Tang Taoyu and Song Kai would no longer make things difficult for the inn, and remembered that he heard yesterday that the Weiwu Sect would fight a decisive battle with Jianghutang at the top of the Ling, so he left quietly.

He Zicang heard the shopkeeper say this, and saw the innkeeper who was injured yesterday, turned around and questioned Tang Guan and Song Kai, and said, "Is what the shopkeeper said true?"

Tang Guan and Song Kai knew He Zicang's surname, bowed their heads and said nothing, they acquiesced in the fact that this matter was indeed their own doing, He Zicang saw that the two of them bowed their heads and did not answer, and they also understood a little in their hearts, only to see him take out a silver ingot from his clothes, put it in the hands of the innkeeper, and said: "Cheng shopkeeper, you can take this ingot of silver to treat this little brother's injury, it is my poor management, which caused my subordinates to disturb the people and make trouble, I am here to apologize to you for them, I promise that they will never come here again to make trouble in the future." ”

After speaking, He Zicang saluted the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper stepped forward, bowed down and said, "He Zhutou is serious." ”

Tang Guan and Song Kai, who were standing behind He Zicang, were quite moved by He Zicang's behavior, and secretly decided not to cause trouble to He Zicang anymore, at this time Song Kai stepped forward to He Zicang and said: "Big brother, little brother must stop making trouble for big brother, by the way, big brother, let's get down to business." ”

"Yes, big brother. At this time, Tang Guan also stepped forward and added this sentence at the right time.

After being reminded by Song Kai and Tang Guan, He Zicang remembered the purpose of his trip and said to the shopkeeper: "By the way, Cheng shopkeeper, yesterday said that a young man came to your store with a sword to drink?"

"It's the young man who stood out for you yesterday. Song Kai added.

The innkeeper glanced at He Zicang and Song Kai in front of him, and said, "He Zhutou, yesterday there was indeed a young man who came to the shop to stay, but he had already left the shop early this morning, if the official didn't believe it, he could search it casually." ”

"Then disturb, we are tracking down the stolen sword in the General's Mansion, the matter is serious, we dare not slack off, and hope that the treasurer will understand. After speaking, He Zicang signaled his subordinates to search the store, but there was no result.

He Zicang knew that the person he was looking for was no longer in the store, and when he led him to leave, he said to the innkeeper: "Cheng shopkeeper, bother, please tell the person the direction of departure?"

"Heading southwest. The shopkeeper replied.

Listening to the innkeeper's words, He Zicang left the inn and rushed to the southwest, as if he had thought of something in his heart, because the southwest direction pointed to the top of the West Peak, he knew that there was about to be a bloody battle there, he raised his horsewhip and urged the horse's hooves to be more urgent.
