The gangsters dispersed with high spirits, and each deployed his subordinates. Xu Zizhen was quite satisfied with his mobilization meeting today. It was already dark, and then he felt a growl in his stomach. Just knowing that the meeting was going on, he even
Haven't eaten yet.
Xu Zizhen almost got drunk in the Taihu Lake Village at noon, and was chased by Hu Qing in the afternoon. He was already so tired that he felt like he was falling apart. Now that things were arranged, he quickly asked Mr. Hua to buy some food and stuffed himself.
, even though Qian Tongzhi repeatedly invited him to go to the Red Sleeve Movement with him, he didn't bother to pay attention and staggered back to the government office.
As soon as he entered his room, he fell down on the bed. He was so exhausted that he couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he just lay upright with his eyes wide open.
Since you are a man in Suzhou, you have to shoulder the responsibilities of a man!
This sentence was originally said by him, but now he can't get rid of it in his mind. Now that he is considered a man of the Song Dynasty, should he also shoulder the responsibilities of a man? Is it really possible to stay in Suzhou and be a man?
A rich man, and then sit back and watch the Northern Song Dynasty turn into the Southern Song Dynasty, and the people are displaced and flee?
Unknowingly, he finally fell asleep, but in his dream he saw the scene he had dreamed about that night again, the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, and corpses everywhere.
The next day, he fell into a drowsy sleep until three o'clock in the morning before waking up. Hao Donglai's old wine had great staying power. He didn't feel anything bad at the time, but now he woke up with a splitting headache, as if someone had hit his forehead with an ax.
It looked like it was split.
He washed up and staggered out of the door. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the government office, he heard a burst of noise outside. When he looked around, he saw a large number of villagers gathered at the door. They were all very excited and excited. There were also people in the crowd.
There were several thick bamboos with several well-dressed men tied up with four hooves on them.
Xu Zizhen suddenly came to his senses, Hao Donglai had succeeded!
Those men were strong and burly, and they were all obviously practicing men. However, they looked extremely miserable now. Their faces were covered with blood and their clothes were torn. They were hanging on the bamboo like several broken sacks. Xu Zizhen was very happy.
This big brother from the East is really domineering, and his tricks are even worse than mine.
Soon Captain Lei heard the sound, and the villagers immediately came forward and started talking. It turned out that these villagers came from several fishing villages. When the sun just came up this morning, the villagers came to kill them.
The fake bandits were water bandits, but Hao Donglai had already arranged for people to mix in the village. These fake bandits were caught off guard and were killed by the real bandits. That is to say, they were afraid of causing trouble to the villagers, so they were spared their lives.
When Xu Zizhen saw that his arrangement had indeed worked, he was so happy that his head no longer hurt. He pulled over the confused Lei Captou and whispered a few words. Lei Captou suddenly understood and looked at him deeply with a look of admiration.
He glanced at Xu Zizhen and immediately arranged for people to carry the fake gangsters in.
The fake gangsters were solved. Xu Zizhen felt refreshed and rushed to Jixiang Gambling House in three steps. He regarded this place as a temporary headquarters. All Hua Ye's younger brothers would report anything they discovered here as soon as possible.
.
Mr. Hua was also very excited today. Xu Zizhen asked him to sit here. In a trance, he felt that he had become Zhuge Liang, who was strategizing and winning thousands of miles. The only difference from the scene outside the Yamen was that his place was still extremely quiet. He
None of the younger brothers came back to report what they had discovered, which made him a little frustrated.
The door curtain moved, and someone walked in quickly from the outside. Master Hua quickly straightened his posture with a sullen expression. He coughed slightly and was about to speak, but he saw Xu Zizhen coming in. He couldn't help but be disappointed: "Why is it you, eldest brother?"
Seeing the serious look on his face, Xu Zizhen knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't want to see me? Then I'll go and you continue."
Hua Ye quickly grabbed him and said with a sorry smile: "No, no, no, no, what will I do if you leave, brother? This... something really happened, I can't handle it."
Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "What? No one has been found yet?"
Mr. Hua said with a bitter face: "Isn't that right? My face is so tense that I'm going to have cramps, and no one is here."
Xu Zizhen kicked her weakly and scolded with a smile: "If no one comes, it means they didn't succeed. Isn't that good? Do you really want a girl to be robbed and then you, the old lady, will act as a hero to save the beauty and steal the show?"
Mr. Hua scratched his head: "Hey..."
Xu Zizhen suddenly said seriously: "Brothers, please don't be careless. Things often happen at the last minute. Just hold on!"
"Yes!" Mr. Hua also straightened his face and stood upright solemnly.
Xu Zizhen looked out the window at the crowded streets and murmured: "How long can these grandsons endure it?"
…
"What? Seven of them were broken? What did you do?" Kong Qilin, who stayed in the inner hall of the mansion in the west of the city, was furious. He pointed at a well-dressed man who was half-kneeling in front of him and yelled, "Where are they now?"
The man did not dare to raise his head and replied fearfully: "He was... kidnapped to the prefect's Yamen."
Bang!
Kong Qilin slapped the table so hard that the celadon tea cup on the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
"How do you usually practice? Seven of the dignified Liushoufu Yuhou were captured by a group of fishermen. What's the point of keeping waste like you? Come on!"
The man hurriedly kowtowed to his head and defended loudly: "Sir, I am unjust for my humble position!"
Kong Qilin's face was livid, and he ignored his words. He raised his hand and was about to put it down when he heard a noble man in brocade clothes and jade belt sitting in front of him say calmly: "Master Kong, it's not too late to listen to what he has to say."
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The man breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed hurriedly.
Kong Qilin took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and glared at the man: "Say! What's going on?"
The fake water bandits who robbed the fishing village this time were the cronies sent by Kong Qilin to disrupt and distract Magistrate Wen. Unexpectedly, those who could escape safely yesterday would lose their hands today. Those who seemed ordinary and ordinary
There were actually several very skilled fishermen among the fishermen, and these people were extremely experienced in fighting. Without any precautions, they quickly led to the capture of seven people, and it was said that these seven people had been beaten to death by the angry fishermen.
Even if he can be saved, he will be disabled for the rest of his life.
Yu Hou was different from ordinary soldiers. Even if he had not practiced kung fu seriously, those who could reach this position in the army were more or less skilled. However, Kong Qilin never expected that he and several regular army officers would be captured by a group of fishermen.
How could he hold back his anger?
After listening to what the man said, Kong Qilin's face became increasingly gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Can you tell where those so-called masters come from?"
The man lowered his head: "I don't know what a humble job is."
"Idiot! Trash!" Kong Qilin couldn't hold it in any longer. At this moment, he heard a few gentle knocks on the door, and then Hu Sihai, dressed in casual clothes, stepped in.
"Master!" Hu Sihai bowed respectfully to the noble young master.
The noble master didn't even raise his eyelids and said calmly: "How is the investigation going?"
Hu Sihai replied: "Return to the master, my subordinates have found out the matter. Everything was planned by Xu Zizhen, who attracted Taihu Hao Donglai and Suzhou local tyrant Hua Zhenhong to join forces, ruining the master's major event!"
When talking about Xu Zizhen, he couldn't help gritting his teeth. This kid was really hateful, but he was so lucky that someone rescued him both times.
The noble young master finally reacted. He raised his head slightly in surprise and said, "Oh? Xu Zizhen?"
"Back to my master, it's this boy."
"Haha..." Your Excellency suddenly chuckled, "But how can a small policeman have such a method? I am somewhat interested in this person."
Hu Sihai didn't quite understand and asked in confusion: "What does the master mean?"
The noble young master gently turned the jade ring on his thumb and said with a smile: "Please invite him to see me. It will be quite interesting for me to use such a talent."
Although Hu Sihai has always been grudged about Xu Zizhen's two escapes from his hands, he still did not dare to disobey the noble master's words. He just frowned slightly and said: "This... Master, don't blame me for talking too much. I see this
The boy is unruly and unruly, so I'm afraid he may not be willing to do it."
The noble prince nodded and said calmly: "If that's the case, then let's kill him."
His tone was extremely normal. The word "kill" in his mouth was no different from killing a chicken. There was no sinister meaning at all. However, Hu Sihai had followed him for many years, but he knew what he meant. If he didn't use it for me, he couldn't stay.
, this is his rule.
Hu Sihai agreed, and then asked hesitantly: "Master, Xu Zizhen asked Hua Zhenhong's thugs to come out and keep a close eye on Suzhou City. It is really difficult for my subordinates to find a good opportunity to take action. As for Wen Chengyan, even more
He has entrusted the affairs of the city to Xu Zizhen. Except for those who are on duty, all his agents are scattered at various land and water crossings. I am afraid..."
The noble prince raised his head and smiled, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "You don't need to pay attention to that rogue leader. As for Wen Chengyan... I have already made preparations. Just do what you want."
