A rapid knock on the door broke the silence of the night.
Sheriff Xie, who was sleeping deeply, was awakened from his sweet dream and was very angry. After hearing the report from Chang Sui, this anger suddenly turned into incredible shock!
"What? Twenty-six corpses?"
The Chang Sui responded in a low voice: "Yes, General Wang Pi led his soldiers to carry the body into the Yamen. The officer on duty at the Yamen was so frightened that he came to deliver the message immediately. Please rush to the Yamen immediately."
Twenty-six people died in one night!
Sheriff Xie's face was ashen.
Such a shocking and serious case cannot be hidden at all. It must be dealt with immediately and reported to the court. As a county guard, I am in charge of the civil affairs of a county. It is impossible to completely ignore it. Instead, I can push it to the military camp.
After all, Wang Tong is the city gate official. Since this matter is related to Wang Tong, it should be interrogated and convicted by the garrison guard Zheng De...
Sheriff Xie hurried to the government office, thinking about countermeasures all the way.
When I arrived outside the government office, I heard the sound of horse hooves as soon as I got off the carriage.
Sheriff Xie glanced over with a sharp gaze.
Commander Xie was married to the King of Beihai and was very familiar with Xu Jing. He and General Zheng stepped forward together and saluted: "I have met the crown prince."
Xu Jing ran back and forth for most of the night without a trace of tiredness, and with sharp eyes: "Xie County Sheriff, General Zheng, there is still a living person in the carriage."
These soldiers also wore armor and held bright sharp blades.
And Prince Beihai, why are they "closely related" again?
Twenty-six corpses were piled neatly outside, and the smell of blood was so thick that it was nauseating.
Xu Jing had no intention of explaining, and raised his eyebrows: "We will capture Wang Tong first."
The dull sound of horse hooves came from far to near.
There were a few more screams.
The soldiers rushed over regardless of their own safety, but Wang Tong barely managed to block him. A sharp arrow penetrated his chest, and he died instantly.
The sharp blade was as sharp as lightning, and it struck straight at him.
The man turned over and dismounted. He was nearly eight feet tall and was wearing full armor. Only his face was exposed. A pair of small eyes flashed with dark anger.
When the words "Qinglong Mountain" came into his ears, Commander Xie's expression suddenly changed.
It was Zheng De, the garrison commander of Beihai County.
A tall and strong man rode up, followed by dozens of soldiers.
嘘嘚嘚嘚!
Xie County Governor General Zheng: "..."
"The prince sent someone to deliver a message to the Zheng family. I didn't dare to delay for a moment and came immediately."
Wang Tong was extremely skilled. He swung his long sword tightly and rushed out first.
Under the random arrows, it is easy to catch turtles in the urn while hiding in the house. The only way to survive is to rush out and fight.
The idiot prince in his eyes turned out to be a master of powerful swordsmanship!
Xu Jing finally took action!
Wang Tong laughed evilly and waved his sword to meet him. The two swords made a very harsh clashing sound in the air. Wang Tong felt his right hand shake, and the sword almost came out of his hand.
Great! He was worried that no one would jump in this fire pit!
"General Zheng has arrived just in time," Xie County Sheriff Su Rong handed over his hand: "General Zheng, please come in with me and interrogate the case carefully."
Commander Xie is a fourth-grade civil servant, and General Zheng is a fifth-grade military commander. The two of them are civil servants and military officers, and are the two people with the highest official positions in Beihai County. On weekdays, they maintain official contacts.
Wang Tong's eyes were blood red.
Wang Tong's eyes were bloodshot, whether due to nervousness, worry or fear. His right hand clenched the handle of the knife habitually.
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot over.
Sheriff Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
A close soldier rubbed his hands and whispered uneasily: "General, we have been waiting for so long, why hasn't anyone come yet?"
In the back hall of the government office.
Another soldier also whispered: "If anything goes wrong, we will protect the general and fight out!"
…
At this time, Wang Tong didn't even have time to angrily scold Xu Jing for being "unfaithful" and "cunning and shameless". He was filled with shock and could only say "escape".
"Shut up!" Wang Tong's eyes were full of sternness, and his hand holding the handle of the knife became harder: "I was deceived by gangsters and almost made a big mistake. Now that all the gangsters have surrendered, the prince will also prove my innocence for me."
General Zheng said: "No hurry, wait a moment."
What are you waiting for?
Who are you waiting for?
Commander Xie was stunned for a moment, but before he could ask any further questions, General Zheng came over quickly and said in a low voice: "What happened tonight involves the giant thief from Qinglong Mountain in Pingyuan County, and is closely related to the prince."
Wang Tong's expression suddenly changed, he suddenly swung his long knife and screamed: "Follow me and get out!"
Wang Tong gritted his teeth and swung his second sword with deadly ferocity. Xu Jing retreated slightly to avoid the sharp edge.
The soldiers around him fell one after another in order to cover Wang Tong.
Several torches lit up at the top of the wall, like a fire dragon. Young men in black squatted on the top of the wall, drawing bows and shooting arrows.
In addition to being fond of food and money, the King of Beihai has no bad habit of oppressing the common people. There are no people starving to death in Beihai County, and there are no bandits making trouble. It is a rare place of peace and tranquility.
A carriage came quickly. There were young soldiers dressed in black on both sides. In Beihai County, the only one with such a formation was the Prince of Beihai. The carriage stopped, and a handsome young man in rich clothes appeared in front of him.
.
General Zheng's eyes flashed and he asked in a low voice: "Is this Yang family related to this case?"
Why did Wang Tong suddenly get involved with the giant thief in Qinglong Mountain?
Wang Tong was horrified.
Rush out! Rush out the door and you will have a way to survive.
"You and I will wait for a while until the Crown Prince arrives, and then we can go in together to interrogate Wang Tong."
As the night progressed, the group became murderous.
Sheriff Xie coughed: "Your Majesty captured Wang Tong and interrogated him severely. I am not afraid that he will not be punished. Why involve the family members."
If you have a witness, it will be easier!
Commander Xie and General Zheng's faces perked up, and then they heard Xu Jing say coldly: "Wang Tong Xuexian Yang is also in the carriage."
Beihai County is the vassal territory of the Beihai King. Every year, the land tax and commercial tax paid by ordinary merchants, excluding government expenses, must be paid to the Beihai King's Mansion.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Arrows rain like rain.
The emperor of the Jin Dynasty was harsh and violent, civil strife broke out, and bandits were found in various places. Qingzhou was located in the eastern part of the Jin Dynasty and had nine counties under its jurisdiction. The Qinglong Mountain Bandits were the largest group of bandits in Pingyuan County, with brutal methods and a great reputation.
How come women are involved in such a thing? The prince is young and energetic, so he is not very particular about what he does!
Before Wang Tong could use his third move, General Zheng led a dozen of his own soldiers with outstanding skills to surround him.
Two fists are no match for four! Even though Wang Tong is a master, he can't withstand the attacks of more than ten people. Soon, he was hit with a knife in his shoulder and left leg, dripping with blood.
"Xu Jing! You are a renegade villain!" Wang Tong's eyes were red, and he was extremely angry: "If you are capable of fighting me alone!"
Xu Jing sneered, stopped his hand, and ordered slowly: "Don't kill him, let him breathe. I will interrogate him personally!"
It’s a new week, please vote to be on the list!
