Shen Rouming was praised, and said modestly and cautiously: "According to what was said, at the dock, in order to let Zhao Juzhi go, in the melee of the lights, we let go of more than ten people with red silk swords, and similarly, we also let go of a few here. In addition to Zhao Juzhi, the ten or twenty Cao Gang people are a potential danger, and we have to guard against their comeback. ”

"Well, it's always good to be careful. Tao Ziyun was not arrogant because of Rong Hui's help, he told Shen Rouming about the next step: "I will issue a notice tomorrow to list the crimes of those dead Cao gang members, indicating that those people are innocent, and the notice also asks their relatives to quickly collect the bodies." At the same time, let's see if I can wait for Zhao Juzhi to report to me. ”

Subsequently, Tao Ziyun ordered the officers and soldiers to pull the dead bodies in the courtyard to the dock in a carriage and wait for their relatives to collect the bodies there.

......

The next day, Shen Rouming led people to deliver food to the members of the Ronghui who were on the boat left behind by the dock, so that they could continue to be vigilant. The notices of the governor's yamen were posted everywhere, and the relatives of the deceased in the vicinity went to the wharf to collect the bodies. However, it was dark, but he did not wait for Zhao Juzhi's arrival.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Tao Ziyun saw Zhao Juzhi carefully enter the governor's yamen. Tao Ziyun, who was trying a public case, immediately withdrew from the court.

In an inner room, Zhao Juzhi told Tao Ziyun: "The night before yesterday, I and other members of the Cao Gang who escaped from the fierce battle at the dock returned to the 'Milai Inn' where they had just come from other places, and were crowded into a guest room at a loss. In a state of panic, several members of the Cao Gang who went to attack the Governor's Yamen were also defeated. A local member of the Cao Gang said that the people of the Salt Gang once responded to the Cao Gang's oath of 'fighting the Governor of Liangjiang to the end', and proposed to ask the local Salt Gang to come forward to help, and secretly pistol the Governor of Liangjiang. ”

Liu Shan, who was next to Tao Ziyun, glanced at Tao Ziyun. In order to ease the atmosphere, he said to Zhao Juzhi: "No wonder you didn't come over yesterday, it turned out that you went with them to do this." Don't be afraid of the Salt Gang's involvement in this, because there is a powerful Rong who will be with us. ”

"In the fierce battle last night, we heard the opponent sign up for themselves, saying that they are the people of the 'No. 1 gang in the world - Ronghui', there are many people, and they are strong and ruthless. So after further discussion, we decided to go back to the reserved rooms that night to rest, stay in the inn during the day to avoid the limelight, and then contact the people of the Salt Gang at night. Zhao Juzhi seemed to be in a calmer mood. He continued to explain the situation to Tao Ziyun and said: "I have already made an agreement with you to cooperate, this time, I didn't feel scared from the beginning, it was the other Cao Gang members who were afraid. In order not to arouse their suspicion, and to think that there will be no major incident immediately, I have been hanging out with them yesterday, and I am not in a hurry to report the situation to you. ”

"Then you went to contact the Salt Gang last night, what was the result?" Tao Ziyun asked at this time.

Zhao Juzhi replied solemnly: "The result of the contact is that the people of the Salt Gang promised to help. Let us lead the way, and sneak into the governor's yamen late at night. However, instead of fighting directly, they set fire everywhere in the yamen, hoping to burn the governor's yamen to the ground. They will light a fire and flee as soon as possible. ”

"Haha, let them come! We'll wait!" Liu Shan, smirking fearlessly.

Tao Ziyun solemnly reminded Liu Shan: "This time, don't be careless, you must be fully prepared." ”

Heard Tao Ziyun remind him seriously. Liu Shan exaggeratedly knelt down to make a promise: "Huh! Obey Lord Tao's orders! The villain must prepare well!"

Tao Ziyun didn't tell Liu Shan to get up, but said to Zhao Juzhi: "You should be careful when you follow them." You see. Why is there no red silk cloth that you used to tie to the hilt of your sword? ”

"Oh, this, the night they escaped, the Cao Gang found out that the Cao Gang members who were able to escape were all swords with red cloth tied to the hilt, and they immediately regarded those red cloths as mascots. The next day, when they were idle during the day, they dismantled the auspicious red cloth, invited the innkeeper to make them a 'talisman' - the proprietress sewed one or twenty small cloth bags of various colors, and put the red cloth inside, and those red cloths, some were silk cloth, and some were cotton cloth. I also made one with them. Zhao Juzhi said, took out a blue cloth bag from his arms, tore open the mouth of the live bag, and took out a piece of red silk cloth from it.

Tao Ziyun solemnly asked Zhao Juzhi: "You better tie it back to the hilt of the sword, on the battlefield, people who are not familiar with you can easily recognize you." ”

Zhao Juzhi replied seriously: "At that time, I wanted to be consistent with them, so that they would not think I was suspicious, and now I will tie it back to the hilt of the sword." ”

Liu Shan alertly reminded Zhao Juzhi: "If you come out to see us alone now, will it arouse their suspicion?"

Zhao Juzhi said lightly: "With the promise of the Salt Gang to assist us, and with the 'talisman' as a spiritual pillar, those people all went out to play their own games today, but they just asked that they gather at the Milai Inn in the evening, and the people of the Salt Gang will also go there to meet." ”

So Tao Ziyun kept Zhao Juzhi and said: "That's good, in this case, you stay at noon today, and we will entertain you for lunch." ”

Wei Yuan, who had been silent beside him, interjected: "Lord Tao, the matter of fighting and killing is not suitable for the small ones to participate, but the small ones still have to make some suggestions." Don't let the bad guys set the fire to the yamen! When the bad guys set the fire and then put out the fire, the houses in the yamen will be damaged to some extent, and it is proper to prevent trouble before it happens!"

Tao Ziyun immediately approved Wei Yuan's suggestion: "Agree with Mr. Wei's suggestion, I will let the people of Ronghui ambush outside the houses in the yamen all night, as long as the people of the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang sneak into the yamen, they will be killed immediately." Now, only Zhao Juzhi's long sword is tied with a red cloth, and the people of Ronghui will only leave Zhao Juzhi on our side and wipe out those bad guys. ”

Wei Yuan further proposed: "The opinion of the villain is more inclined to dissuade those people in advance, so that they can give up their intention to sneak into the yamen and set fire, so as not to let the civil gangs have more and more grievances with you." Because, it is impossible for all the people of the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang to come and attack the Yamen and kill all the gangs who sneaked into the Yamen and set fires, and there are still the remnants of the Yan Gang and the Cao Gang, who will once again look for opportunities to pick quarrels and provoke troubles and deliberately retaliate. ”

Since Wei Yuan made this suggestion, Tao Ziyun is also willing to work tirelessly to do more work: "Make a little more effort and dissuade them verbally in advance." In addition to letting Rong Hui wait in the yamen, I will shout and persuade the people of the Yan Gang and the Cao Gang after they infiltrate the yamen. ”

Wei Yuan smiled comfortably: "Master Tao is wise!"

......

Zhao Juzhi had lunch in the governor's yamen, and then went back to the Milai Inn.

That night, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, a large number of Ronghui members silently ambushed the walls of the houses of the governor's yamen. Tao Ziyun sat on the roof of the public hall, also without saying a word.

There was the sound of chickens crowing all around, and a large group of people in black jumped into the yard from the fence of the front yard!

Tao Ziyun heard some voices: "Li Jiaoshi, you newcomer to the Salt Gang, you follow me closely, don't miss everyone's affairs." ”

"Li Jiaoshi, the servant's father sued the rich man Lu Liangxu, saying that the rich man killed his son Lu Xiang, who was a servant, and Lu Xiang's original name was Li Jiaoshi, could it be him?" Tao Ziyun jumped up in his mind, and when he looked in the air, the courtyard walls around the governor's yamen were full of shadows and shadows, and many people jumped in!

Tao Ziyun shouted: "Drive them all to the front yard, don't kill them yet!"

The people of Rong Hui immediately rushed out, intercepted the people who had infiltrated the governor's yamen, and drove them to the front yard with shouts!

Tao Ziyun landed in the front yard and said coldly: "Among you, who is Li Jiaoshi?" (to be continued......)
