The soldiers at the bayonet began to move their horses to open the passage. Zhao Gang waved his hand, and the fire fighters rushed forward.

At this moment, torches flashed across the street, and a group of soldiers and horses turned to the street ahead. Several people on horseback, surrounded by a large number of soldiers, came towards the bayonet. From a distance, they could see the street

The Juma opened, and a group of dark people stood in the middle of the street opposite. Suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Madutou, what are you doing? Why did you move the Juma?"

Nadu looked up and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't move yet, it seems that General Chang and the others have arrived."

They all ran quickly towards the soldiers and horses on the opposite side, and came to a few horses to report the situation. Over here, Fang Zian, Zhao Gang and others realized that something was a little troublesome. By the light of the torch, Fang Zian had already recognized the horsemen.

Qin Tan's figure on the horse. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, when he peeked at the gate of Wanchun Garden just now, Fang Zian saw Qin Tan wearing a bright red cloak outside his armor. That touch of red was on the torch.

It is very dazzling under the illumination, so it can be recognized at a glance.

The people on the opposite side were all gesticulating in front of their horses while reporting, and kept turning back and pointing in this direction. After a while, Qin Tan and others urged their horses, leading a large number of soldiers and horses to quickly approach the bayonet.

"Sir, what should we do? Should we go back? I'm afraid we won't be able to get through here." Zhao Gang whispered.

"There are their troops behind us, where should we retreat? In my opinion, kill them." Shen Ling'er whispered.

Fang Zian shouted coldly: "Don't act rashly. No one is allowed to mess around without my order. Everything should be done according to my order."

As he spoke, a large number of soldiers and horses swarmed from the front and quickly approached the front. Several people on horseback could also see clearly. In the center was Qin Tan, who was wearing brilliant armor and a dazzling red cloak. A tall general beside him

Ma Da, squinting from the corner of his eyes, must be Chang Baoshan, the deputy commander of the Infantry Division Zuo Army, whom Zhao Gang said was Chang Baoshan. Several of the surrounding officers were also fully armed lieutenant generals.

"Hey! What a coincidence. Isn't this Mr. Fang Zianfang? What are you doing in this snowy day, fully armed, with so many people on the street?" Qin Tan had already seen Fang Zian sitting on the horse, and shouted loudly

smiled.

Fang Zian cupped his hands and smiled and said: "It's really a coincidence. Isn't Mr. Qin also fully armed and leading so many people on the street on a snowy day?"

Qin Tan chuckled and said, "Isn't that right? There are such coincidences in the world. I thought that it was snowing heavily in the capital tonight, and that only me and the brothers from the Infantry Division were unlucky, with the cold wind blowing on the streets. I didn't expect that Sir Fang would also

Wow, this is so lively. The streets of the capital are not this lively in broad daylight."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Yes, yes. It's very lively. I thought that our brothers in the Fire Department had a hard life, but I didn't expect that your Master Qin and the brothers in the Infantry Department had the same life. Hey, we are really in the same boat.

Ah. Hahahaha.”

Fang Zian laughed loudly, and Qin Tan also laughed loudly. The two sat on the horse facing each other far away, smiling at each other like two fools. The soldiers on both sides also helped their leader and laughed wildly.

Those who didn't know better thought that a large group of lunatics appeared on the snowy streets.

"Okay! Fang Zian, don't act anymore. If you don't recruit people from the real world, you

What are you doing here with your men so late? Tell me quickly!" Qin Tan's laughter suddenly stopped and turned into an angry shout.

Everyone's smiles froze on their faces. After Qin Tan shouted, the smiles on both sides became stiff and their eyes became cold.

Fang Zian said coldly: "Master Qin, I have to ask you this. Why are you wandering around on the street with these soldiers in the middle of the night? Do you have any evil intentions?"

Qin Tan shouted coldly: "Stop pretending. Don't you know what we are here to do?"

Fang Zian sneered: "How do I know what you are doing? It's really a joke."

Qin Tan said coldly: "I have been ordered to seal up the treasonous criminals in Wanchun Garden and bring the traitors to justice. This is the emperor's order."

Fang Zian said in surprise: "Search Wanchun Garden? What happened in Wanchun Garden? Isn't it a building? There are treasonous criminals inside? There are still treasonous criminals in Wanchun Garden? This is really amazing

Where’s the news?”

Qin Tan shouted: "Stop talking nonsense. You haven't said why you showed up on this street with people in the middle of the night. Tell me quickly."

Fang Zian said: "You have no control over where I appear, and I don't need to report it to you. But... seeing that you want to know so much, I can tell you. You must know what my firefighting military office does.

Very. It is snowing heavily tonight, and our fire department is out patrolling the streets to prevent people's houses from being collapsed by the heavy snow and causing tragedy. It is the duty of our fire department to rescue people in emergency. Now you understand why we are on the street. You

Do you think we want to drink the wind and eat the snow outside?"

Qin Tan frowned and said, "Street patrol? Why did you only patrol here? Isn't your Yamen in Xicheng?"

Fang Zian said coldly: "You have a very broad control. Can you control where I like to patrol the streets? Didn't you seal up and arrest Wanchun Garden? Wanchun Garden is on Zhonghe Royal Street, do I still want to go there?"

I ask you, why did you come here to arrest people? That is your business and I have nothing to do with it. It is my business to patrol the streets wherever I like and you have nothing to do with it. Get your people out of the way, we are going there

Go patrolling the streets over there, and don't interfere with my official duties."

Qin Tan chuckled and said, "Fang Zian, you're pretty good at acting, and you have a way of making faces and expressions. However, I am Zhong Kui, and I specialize in catching ghosts. Your words have no effect on me. Let's talk clearly.

Qin Xiqing, the main criminal in the Wanchunyuan case, lives in this area, and I came to arrest her. Unfortunately, we just found her house, but it was already empty. The bed was still hot, and there were candles in the house.

It's still bright. Where do you think she could go? Who leaked the news and let her escape in advance? Our people have already controlled the entire street around here and are searching door to door. Before Qin Xiqing was found, everyone

No one in this area is allowed to leave. So, Fang Zian, you can’t leave. You can leave if you want, but you have to let us search them one by one before leaving."

Fang Zian smacked his lips and said: "I see. All these people are here to catch Qin Xiqing? I remember that Qin Xiqing is just a weak woman. Is there any need to mobilize troops like this? By the way, I remember that Mr. Qin used to treat this Qin Xiqing

She had a soft spot for her, and she rewarded Qin Xiqing with a lot of money, and even confessed her love to Qin Xiqing. However, she was rejected. In the blink of an eye, she wanted to arrest her. This is really called hatred out of love.

If she doesn’t arrive, she will be destroyed, right?”

Qin Tan shouted sternly: "Fang Zian, stop talking about these useless things. Don't think that I don't know the relationship between you and Qin Xiqing. Whether you and her are clear or not, maybe you are.

Her accomplice, you suddenly appeared here, I suspect that you came to rescue her with a tip. Please be honest, otherwise, I will be rude to you."

Fang Zian shouted sternly: "Bold! Qin Tan, you are neither up nor down, you are spitting blood, I think you are out of your mind. You are just the sixth rank chief of the Privy Council, and I am the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the commander of the Fire Army Yamen

, a fifth-grade official, you, a little sixth-grade officer, are playing tricks with me here? My fire department has the right to patrol the whole city. At any time, I can take my brother on any street in the capital.

I'm patrolling, but I want you to point your fingers. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? You want to accuse me, but you don't have the ability. Are you saying that I am Qin Xiqing's comrade? Bring me the imperial edict, I will dismount and be bound. There is no imperial edict, what the hell are you doing?

What kind of horse excrement are you spraying from your mouth? You won't let us pass, right? I'm going to pass here today. Do you want to search us one by one? If you have the guts, come and search us. Brothers, give it to me

Listen carefully, if anyone dares to lay a finger on you, I will chop off their fingers."

The last words were spoken to the soldiers of the fire department behind them. All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Qin Tan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He was scolded and insulted by Fang Zian, and even used his official position to humiliate him. Fang Zian was promoted to a fifth-rank official, which was something Qin Tan had been angry about before. Originally, Fang Zian was promoted to a fifth-rank official.

He was a sixth-rank official when he entered the Privy Council, and Fang Zian was just a seventh-rank official, so he was very happy. But now he is being ridiculed by Fang Zian based on his official position, which is a great shame and humiliation. What's more, Fang Zian's words are completely wrong.

He takes it seriously. If he wants to fight fiercely, how can Qin Tan give in?

"Fang Zian, then you can't blame your Grandpa Qin. If you try harder, Grandpa is not afraid of you. You are a weakling, but you still dare to fight me. Chang Baoshan, call someone." Qin Tan shouted coldly.

Chang Baoshan hurriedly nodded, took out a bamboo whistle and started blowing it. The bamboo whistle was sharp and harsh, and it was extremely loud on a night like this. Soon after, the sound of bamboo whistles in the surrounding neighborhoods rose and fell in response, and several soldiers and horses galloped away.

Come, there are a large number of soldiers and horses coming from the streets in front and behind. Six to seven hundred people came at once, twice the number of the fire brigade.

Qin Tan sneered and said: "Fang Zian, I advise you to be wise. A good man will not suffer the immediate consequences. It's still too late to hand him over. Or just be obedient and let us search them one by one. If you can't be found, I'll count you lucky and let you go."

Fang Zian laughed loudly and said, "Do you like to call people? I don't have any brothers in the fire department. Vice General Zhao, call people!"

Zhao Gang promised loudly, took out something from his arms, lit it with a fire stick and held it at his fingertips. With a whoosh, a red light jumped into the sky, lighting up the surroundings like a shooting star. With a pop, it spread out all over the sky.

The flowers rained and then disappeared in the heavy snow.

Qin Tan and others were just astonished when they heard the rumble of footsteps, and the dark soldiers and horses galloping on the streets in front and behind. Someone shouted loudly from a distance: "Fuckin' dogs are better than raised animals."
