Chapter 731 Ding Run: Whatever the bells and whistles are, lets cut them off with a knife!
"Dongxi Village protects Chao Gai?"
"That's it...no wonder Wu Yong is hesitant!"
After his men found out Wu Yong's movements, Lei Heng returned home and became convinced.
Chao Gai's reputation has been very loud in the county recently. Everyone knows that there is such a person who loves to meet heroes from all walks of life.
If this person took Ding Run in and was seen by Wu Yong, his previous reaction would be normal.
Even though it was already dark, Lei Heng couldn't stay any longer and immediately came to his mother's room to say hello: "Mom, my child has to go out for a while!"
Lei Heng's mother heard the excitement in his tone and became a little worried: "You are now a patrol officer. You are no better than before. You must be cautious in everything!"
Lei Heng said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother. Once I become the head of the capital, my mother will have a bright face no matter where she goes in the county!"
After that, he picked up his tiger-tooth knife and walked out of the door majestically, heading towards the Yamen.
Just when Lei Heng arrived at the Yamen and began to report his findings to the current head of the capital, Wu Yong looked at Zhu Ding who was going home alone, shook his feather fan slightly, and raised his lips.
"It's done!"
These two people used to be good friends and were inseparable when going to and from the Yamen. Now they are walking alone. It is obvious that Lei Heng has become suspicious and acted on it.
Of course, even if Ding Run was not at Chao Gai's house, Wu Yong was well aware of the government's style and would avoid any real trouble. The officers and soldiers took the opportunity to raid the wealthy Chao family, and he had to make second and third preparations.
"Province Zhu! Procurator Zhu!"
Hearing the call from behind, Zhu Tong turned around and looked at Wu Yong walking quickly in surprise: "Professor Wu, what are you?"
Wu Yong said anxiously: "Xiaosheng just remembered what Inspector Lei said at the table. I'm afraid he misunderstood something..."
After listening to his detailed explanation, Zhu Tong was a little unconvinced. Wu Yong was kind to Lei Heng, so how could Lei Heng go to investigate Chao Gai from his hometown? However, thinking of his friend's recent eagerness to make meritorious deeds, he frowned: "Wu Yong
Professor, don’t be impatient, I’ll come as soon as I can!”
Zhu Tong advised others not to rush, but he rushed towards the Yamen in three steps and two steps at a time. Wu Yong watched the figure behind and nodded secretly.
He is very accurate in judging people. Compared to Lei Heng, who is upright but narrow-minded, Zhu Dian is truly a heroic person who can risk his own life for his friends.
Compared with the vast number of talents under Lin Chong's command, the so-called heroes in Chao Gai's manor are not worthy of recognition at all. This Zhu Ding can make money together.
While Wu Yong was pleased with his insight, he began to write letters in a hurry, with sharp writing and full of evil content.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
As expected, Zhu Tong soon turned back with an ugly face: "Tang Dutou, who was hunting the thieves, is indeed gone. It seems that Professor Wu was right to worry. Lei Heng really misunderstood!"
Wu Yong sighed, full of regret: "It's my fault! Thank you very much, Inspector Zhu. I will rush to Dongxi Village immediately and make sure to explain clearly! Chao Baozheng has always been a first-class rescuer and a generous person.
How can a good man suffer such unjust injustice?"
When Zhu Tong heard this, he caught up without hesitation: "Professor Wu, wait a minute, you and I will go together! That Tang Dutou is not an easy person, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to end. I will hold them back, you
Take this opportunity to take that Chao Baozheng away and avoid the limelight for the time being!"
Wu Yong bowed his hands and saluted: "Xiaosheng, I will go up and down Dongxi Village. Thank you Zhu for patrolling Gaoyi!"
By now it was getting dark, Zhu Dian went to prepare horses and torches, Wu Yong took out the letter and went to the county magistrate's house.
Lei Heng said before that there was news recently that Ding Run was coming to Shandong, and the county magistrate of Yuncheng was panicking. I'm afraid it was not an lie. After all, Ding Run was decisive in killing officials and had a beginning and an end. Which official wouldn't be willing to score three points?
So in the letter he just wrote, it was in Ding Run's tone that he threatened to kill the county magistrate and his family. At this time, he took advantage of the night and cleverly dropped it in front of the house. When he saw the boy picking it up and putting it in, he quickly
There were panicked sounds inside, Wu Yong stroked his beard and smiled, turned around and left.
The county magistrate was shocked and would definitely send Dutou patrol back immediately. Even if Tang Dutou and his party in Dongxi Village wanted to be reluctant, they couldn't, so they naturally helped Chao Gai resolve the siege.
Although it was a false alarm, it offended the leaders of the county and suffered an unfair injustice. With Chao Gai's ambition, he should know that spending his whole life as a guarantor in Dongxi Village is really a waste of talent!
Meeting up with Zhu Tong, the two followed the road to Dongxi Village. Along the way, Wu Yong thought about his plan, and the feather fan began to shake gracefully, until Zhu Tong beside him suddenly shouted: "Who is it?"
He suddenly reined in his horse and stared ahead. He saw a shirtless man standing by the river not far away.
Although it was impossible to see too clearly in the dark night, from the packages scattered around, the weapons placed randomly, and the action of pouring water on his body, it seemed that he was anxiously on the road, dusty, and taking a bath.
As for his appearance, this person is covered in tattoos, has a strong body, and a big head...
"Um?"
Wu Yong was stunned, a cold air rushed straight into Tianling, and he groaned: "Be careful!"
Zhu Tong held the Chaoyang Sword in his hand and was on full alert. It was not that he recognized who the other party was, but that he subconsciously felt that this person was extremely difficult to mess with.
"Huh?"
After wiping a few handfuls of river water on his chest to relieve the fatigue of the journey, the shirtless man looked over and raised his eyebrows: "Where are you two going?"
Zhu Tong said in a deep voice: "Go to Dongxi Village!"
The big man smiled and said: "There was a group of people who went away in a hurry just now. From what they said, they seemed to be going to capture 'Yam Luo' Ding Run. Do you two know?"
Zhu Tong didn't know the other party's intention for a while and kept silent. Wu Yong's eyes flashed crazily. After thinking about it again and again, he still couldn't win the opponent, so he said: "This strong man..."
The man smiled and said: "Shut up! You scholar, with a bad look on your face, must have recognized me, but I am too lazy to care, so I will leave the horse behind! You can turn around and go back, you can save your lives!"
Wu Yong said no more, reached into the bag hanging on the saddle and took out the copper chain.
Not only is he very witty, he also has good martial arts skills. If we really want to fight...
Whoosh!
Soon enough, a figure appeared in front of him like a tiger charging up a mountain, and kicked the horse hard.
Wu Yong's horse neighed sharply, unable to withstand the force of the blow, and fell hard to one side.
At the critical moment, Wu Yong threw away the copper chain and rolled to the side. Although he was disgraced and embarrassed, he finally avoided serious injury.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't avoid the big man's next kick, and he fell straight into the water.
The moment he fell into the water, he saw Zhu Dian's Chaoyang Sword slashing at the shirtless man. His heart calmed down for a moment, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he drank several large sips of water.
At this moment, Wu Yong had only one thought in his mind. Fortunately, this man had wiped his body with water just now. If he had to relieve himself directly by the stream, he would be in trouble.
But when Wu paddled with his dog and swam to the shore, he saw that the man had disappeared, and only Zhu Ding was left standing in front of him, holding out his palm.
Wu Yong was pulled ashore and found that Zhu Tong's hand was trembling slightly, and he was worried that it would be even worse.
And Zhu Tong also said bluntly: "This man is extremely skilled in martial arts. I am no match for him. Fortunately, this man has no murderous intentions. He just took the horse and went to Dongxi Village!"
Wu Yong said in a deep voice: "This man is Ding Run!"
Zhu Tong changed his expression: "No wonder! Why is he here? Could it be that he knew what the county was doing and followed him here?"
Wu Yong shook his head: "It should be the right time. The appearance of this person will lead the situation into an unpredictable situation. We have to hurry up!"
Zhu Tong still said nothing: "Let's go!"
Even with this firm will, one horse was seriously injured and the other horse was ridden by Ding Run. It took a full hour for the two of them to reach Dongxi Village, even though they were running on two legs alone.
In the distance, the sound of fighting could be heard, coming from the largest manor in the village.
"Officers and soldiers are killing people and setting fires! Officers and soldiers are killing people and setting fires!"
"Tang Dutou has been harmed by thieves! Tang Dutou has been harmed by thieves!"
No matter which news it was, Zhu Tong's face changed drastically, and Wu Yong's heart sank deeply at the same time.
The situation is out of control!
"You go to look for mines and patrol, and I'll look for Chao Baozheng. We'll meet at the entrance of the backyard! Hurry!"
With no choice, he and Zhu Tong could only act separately and rushed in from left to right.
Wu Yong chose the direction with the least noise of fighting, but after ducking in, what he saw was still shocking. There were diners lying on the ground. Those diners who looked at him sideways during the day were shot with arrows and lay on the ground.
, turned into a cold corpse.
The key point is that in addition to these dead hangers-on, there are also scattered corpses of Yamen policemen, most of whom were hacked to death with knives and axes. Their flesh and blood are molded into the lake, which is extremely miserable.
Wu Yong took a deep breath and walked very quickly towards the main hall.
Chao Gai's elder brother has passed away and he has no wives, concubines or children. In the past, he was the only one in the house. He even ate and lived with his close friends, cultivating relationships, which was actually very beneficial. When the government raided him, he could escape quickly...
…
Thinking all the way, Wu Yong arrived near the main hall and immediately found Chao Gai standing guard inside.
After observing for a moment, he found that the formation of the officers and soldiers was scattered and disorganized. If Chao Gai hadn't just been defensive, he would have killed all the officers and soldiers long ago.
Wu Yong took this opportunity to go around from the rear and successfully met with Chao Gai: "Brother Chao, what happened?"
Chao Gai was completely confused: "I didn't know that Tang Dutou from the county suddenly brought someone to the door, saying that I was harboring the felon Ding Run. I explained in every possible way that he just didn't believe me and was about to take me away. He called himself Ding Run."
The handsome man suddenly appeared, rushed to Tangdutou, chopped off his head with a knife, and then we both started fighting!"
After roughly talking about the causes and consequences, Chao Gai looked at his manor, which was still bustling during the day, and turned into corpses everywhere: "How could this be? How could this be so?"
Wu Yong opened his mouth, feeling very apologetic in his heart, but now that the matter had come to this, he could only say: "Brother Chao, now is not the time to investigate the cause. The court is unjust and corrupt officials are rampant. After something like this happened, we will not
Let me let you go, you have to think about where you want to go!"
Chao Gai suddenly encountered an unexpected incident and lost his mind. He looked at the young man and asked, "What do you mean by a scholar?"
Wu Yong said in a deep voice: "Go to Hebei!"
Chao Gai sighed after hearing this: "Now that I think about it, if I had promised you earlier, such a thing would not have happened. I am so ashamed of those brothers. They came to vote for me, but they lost their lives here!"
Wu Yong restrained his emotions and changed his address: "Brother Chao, follow me quickly, don't delay any longer!"
Chao Gai took a deep breath, cut off when necessary, and summoned men.
But when everyone came to the backyard, they saw Zhu Tong dragging the frustrated Lei Heng over. When he got close, he explained in a low voice: "That Ding Run caught Tang Du by surprise and beheaded him. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Lei Heng to explain to the county magistrate when he goes back..."
…”
"Since we can't stay in Yuncheng County any longer, what if Inspector Lei happens to come with us?"
Wu Yong suggested it logically, and Lei Heng trembled all over and suddenly screamed: "No, I can't just leave like this, I want to take my mother out!"
Wu Yong thought about the risk of returning to the county at this time, and his expression changed slightly, but Chao Gai said flatly: "Don't worry, brother, we will definitely pick up your family!"
Lei Heng looked at Baozheng, who had his family ruined due to one of his own mistakes, and couldn't help showing a deep sense of guilt, and bowed heavily: "Thank you Baozheng!
"
Chao Gai immediately helped him up: "In a sudden disaster, as brothers, there is no need to act like a little daughter! Since we have to return to the county town, we can't leave directly. Let's... set a fire!"
After that, he lit the torch himself, his hands trembled, and he threw it out.
Not long after, a team left under the light of the fire and came far to the hillside. The leader, Chao Gai, subconsciously turned around, took a deep look at the manor that was burning with fire, and then turned back decisively: "Let's go! Go to Hebei.
I, Chao Gai, the King of Pagodas, am going to do something great!
