After sleeping for one night, Zhang Xing got up early the next morning before the gate of the square was opened, washed up, and went to the breakfast stall of Mr. Liu's house to have breakfast. Then he turned around and got dressed up - forehead wiping, standard attire, embroidered machete, and cowhide
boots.
After the whole set was prepared, he did not go to study. Instead, he stood inside the square gate with his knife in hand. He only waited for the square gate to open and Zhang Shangshu's carriage passed by, and then he followed directly out and rushed to Water Street.
After arriving at Water Street and entering the wine shop, there were not many people coming, but the atmosphere had already become tense. People kept gathering, and helpers came and went to report information.
Not long after the street opened in the morning, the wine shop was already bustling with people. Two small flags and many captains and warriors almost all arrived in full force, and everyone had to personally ask Zhang Xing about Xiao Zhao's whereabouts, and then
They all went to Feng Yong and swore that they would know the difference between black and white, blue and red, and they would risk their lives to get Xiao Zhao back.
Of course Zhang Xing knew what these people meant - Xiao Zhao and the business he had just wiped out were indispensable for the heads and tails of these people, and these people were also inextricably involved with the Qingyu Gang, the largest gang in Feng Yong's jurisdiction.
In other words, they are also suspected at this time!
This is called doing the right thing rather than doing the right thing.
In addition, a serious official colleague was suddenly detained by the gang. Everyone has a mentality of being in a state of despair. Everyone usually depends on this skin for a living. If you expose it without authorization, you will be the enemy of all official people.
At this time, it is even more important to share the same enemy and maintain a firm stance.
However, if you think about it this way, then Boss Sun is a bit self-defeating and asking for trouble... Of course, it is also Feng Yong who has a sophisticated method and is easy to calculate.
Just like that, after waiting for a while, not only the wine shop was full of people, but also outside the wine shop, inside Jingshan Square and on the water street were also full of helpers and strong men. After breakfast, they had dispersed four or five times.
At this time, the news was finally confirmed.
Under the urging of many street-cleaning tigers, idlers and shopkeepers on the streets inside and outside Shangshanfang came to report in person one after another, but it was clearly verified by many parties that in the second half of yesterday afternoon, Xiao Lieutenant Zhao indeed entered the street alone in broad daylight.
Went to Shangshanfang, and then entered the Qingyu Gang boss Sun's large blue-tiled courtyard with a loft and garden in front of everyone... and then, he never came out.
Having said this, Feng Yong did not hesitate anymore and directly put on his seventh-grade official robe, a warrior crown, and an embroidered scimitar in front of everyone, and led the crowd to Shangshanfang with great momentum.
Before setting off, I didn't forget to go to Jing'antai. The Henan County Government made a report and asked for assistance, which was perfect.
And such a group of people, including more than 20 or 30 Jingantai sergeants with smeared foreheads and swords, plus hundreds of young and armed helpers, were walking on the main road between cities and towns, and they were already shocked.
Jin Wuwei directly sent someone to ask, but was grabbed by Feng Yong and asked to help rescue people together.
Let’s say that the Jinwu Guards belong to the Forbidden Army system and are not from the same group as the Jingjie Tigers. They have always had resentments but no kindness. This time, their original intention was to find trouble. But who would have thought that Mr. Feng Qi came up and said that our officers and soldiers were caught by thieves?
The brothers were standing in line and I didn't dare to go, which made the captain of the Jinwu Guards a little confused, and in the end he was dragged along to follow them in a daze.
Half a group of Jinwu Guards, a total of twenty-five soldiers, is even more impressive.
At this time, the market had just opened, and the officials gathered in Ziwei Palace but had not yet returned. Jin Wuwei was also pulled up. There were greetings from Jing'an Terrace and the county government office. The group was completely unimpeded, and they made a mighty journey all the way to Boss Sun.
In front of the green tiled house, there is no obstacle in the way.
Of course, this place has already received the message and the door is closed.
When he came here, Feng Yong took advantage of his momentum and asked people to surround him. At the same time, he brought two stools over, one for himself and one for the captain of the Jinwu Guard. Then he waved for Zhang Xing to come over:
"Xiao Zhang... I can't blame you for what happened yesterday, and no one blames you, but it was you who was involved in the end. If I ask you to call the door today, it can be regarded as the end of my explanation with you!"
Of course Zhang Xing would not refuse. He stepped forward with his sword, drew it out, held the sword in one hand, and knocked on the door with the scabbard in the other.
After knocking no more than three times, the door creaked, and it was obvious that someone had opened the door. As for Zhang Xingze, who noticed someone behind the door as soon as he went up, he quickly stepped back and returned to the queue.
The door was completely opened, and seven or eight warriors with hidden swords came out, and then five or six more people came out surrounded by a short, fat, middle-aged man with curly hair.
You don't need to think about it to know that this is the so-called Sun Wagua, the boss of Sun.
"Feng! They all said that you are a man wrapped in sugar but holding a knife inside. They told me to deal with it carefully, but I still don't believe it! Sure enough, I fell into your trap!" As soon as Sun Wagua went out, he pointed at Feng Yong who was sitting in front of the door and snapped.
scolded. "Yesterday, they sent someone to send a message to confuse me, and today they suddenly came to the door... They told me that you were reorganizing the manpower this morning, and I still didn't believe it!"
"So, you did see the person who sent me the post yesterday, right?!" Feng Yong calmly waited for the other person to finish, and then asked abruptly, "Where is the person now?"
"Who?" Sun Wagua was startled.
Zhang Xing, who had already retreated to the role of a passerby, was suddenly startled. He seemed to have caught something, but he was at a loss and couldn't figure it out quickly.
In fact, the situation did not allow him to think too much.
"who?"
Feng Yong asked coldly, and then answered coldly himself. "Xiao Zhao! Zhao Shanhai! My brother! The one who came to deliver the post yesterday! Everyone in the street can testify that he entered your door but did not come out!"
It was also the first time that Zhang Xing knew Xiao Zhao's name.
"Don't talk nonsense." On the other side, Sun Wagua was shocked for a moment, and then denied it. "I accepted the post in public. Why did I leave it to others? I must have left by myself!"
"But I didn't see it." Feng Yong's face became more serious. "You beat Lao Yang for almost seven or eight years for making pancakes in front of your house, and Jiang Wu who was cleaning the garbage in the ditch at the back door of your house that day, including
A member of your own Qingyu Gang is also the cousin of my captain Liu San... There are seven or eight lines, more than a dozen people, all of whom said they didn't see Xiao Zhao come out... Can I bribe so many people in one night?
Who is lying? And why?”
At this point, Feng Yong not only did not stop, but kept asking more questions, and his tone became more severe:
"Sun Wagua! Tell me the truth, what did you do to my brother? I thought you were just going to arrest him to suppress my momentum. Could it be that you crippled him? Or just killed him? Otherwise, why not
Dare you admit it? In broad daylight, you killed a serious captain in our Jing'an station. Do you want to rebel?!"
When the two bosses were talking, the surroundings became quiet, and no one dared to interrupt. The captain of the Jinwu Guard just sat there and watched the show with a smile. But at the end, when Feng Yong asked more questions, everyone, including the
The captains of the Jinwu Guard all became awe-inspiring.
In stark contrast, the dozen or so warriors beside Sun Wagua were almost all cowering, and they couldn't help but look at each other, winking at each other and asking for confirmation.
"Feng Yong!"
Boss Sun was obviously at a loss, but he could only resist. "Don't spit on others!"
"Everyone."
Feng Yong ignored Sun Wagua at all, stood up and looked back, speaking with certainty. "You have seen the situation now. I don't say that Xiao Zhao is my confidant. I am so worried that my heart is cut by words..."
I only want to say one truth, that is, we are officials and they are thieves. There is absolutely no reason why the superiors and brothers dare not save the officers and soldiers who fell into the den of thieves! Today, if Xiao Zhao is not allowed to see people alive and his body is dead, who will do it in the future?
As officers and soldiers, don't we all become thieves? Now listen to my order, and everyone will rush in together shoulder to shoulder. If they dare to stop them, they are committing treason and rebellion... No matter who is killed in the middle, they will all be mine!"
As he said this, the commander-in-chief with a mustache just glanced at the faces of his subordinates and lieutenants. Then he pulled out his embroidered machete and pointed it behind him, facing a dozen Jing'an.
The sergeants of Taitung Town Fusi drew their swords together, formed about three lines, and rushed directly in front of Sun Wagua.
Zhang Xing was also among them, but he hid in the second row - there was no way he could do it. The whole thing caught him off guard. Although it was just an ordinary dispute in the market, he was involved in it after all, and he couldn't get out.
of.
More importantly, he still hasn't figured out the truth of the matter. What happened to Xiao Zhao?
"Let's see who dares!"
After all, Sun Wagua is the leader of the largest gang here, and he has the backstage of Beiya. He naturally understands the importance and knows that once the other party is let in, everything will be over. At the critical moment, he simply bypasses everyone, draws his sword personally, and seizes the first opportunity.
Front. "Which one of you street-cleaning tigers dares to touch me? My uncle is the superintendent of Beiya. Today you feel comfortable for a while, but tomorrow my uncle will make your whole family feel comfortable!"
At this point, while several captains were hesitant, Sun Waguafu turned around and scolded the warriors on his side: "And you, what are you afraid of? My uncle can handle even big things... Besides,
What are you doing with your martial arts skills and practicing your Qi? If you give up today, who in the east capital will dare to use you in the future?! Hold the line, and anyone who dares to come up will directly use your Qi.
Get down!"
Sun Wagua came with all his strength, and his momentum was naturally different. Several warriors gritted their teeth and followed, but many flags and captains had their own agendas. Although the scene was that the officials suppressed the thieves, in fact it was still a stalemate.
However, just when everyone thought that this was a turn-based game, and then looked at Feng Yong, the seventh-grade general flag of Jing'an Taitung Town Fusi actually had enough time to sit back, and then just twirled his beard.
He sneered, as if he was waiting for something.
He didn't even bother to mention the fact that everyone in Beiya was actually just Sun Wagua's distant cousin.
Everyone didn't know why, and Sun Wagua was also sweating profusely, obviously feeling guilty.
Of course, the question was answered quickly, but just a moment later, suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation from the back side of the Qingyu Gang's main courtyard formed by multiple houses, followed by a burst of confusion. No need to ask, in the courtyard
Then someone shouted with all his strength:
"Deputy Gang Leader Shen opened the side door, and the people from Jingjiehu came in!"
This shout, like a military order, made the originally hesitant Xiaoqi and the captains no longer hesitate. Under the leadership of the two Xiaoqi, they shouted in unison and swarmed forward with swords in hand.
The gangsters almost followed the shout, lighting up their whistle sticks and flails, and followed.
But Feng Yong just raised his head and laughed.
"Feng Zongqi, what a trick! I've seen it!" The Jinwu Guards captain also laughed and stood up, first bowed his hand to Feng Yonggong, and then waved his hand behind him. "Brothers, Today, in line with General Feng’s kindness, we will save our brothers in officialdom and make a fortune without delay!”
The Jin Wuwei behind him, who was wearing armor and holding a crossbow, roared and immediately rushed forward.
The participation of the Jinwu Guards made Sun Wagua, who still wanted to resist, completely at a loss. He almost allowed several "school captains" and "strong men" to rush up, snatch the knife from him, and then push him aside... The surrounding warriors were obviously all It was a practitioner recruited by Sun Wagua. At this time, except for two or three people who knew how to run back, the rest were all captured and did not dare to resist at all.
Then, everyone poured into the courtyard, and there was inevitably a lot of beating, smashing, and looting.
However, this did not delay everyone from quickly getting the specific results of Xiao Zhao.
"Old Shen."
Feng Yong was sitting in the lobby and spoke calmly to a middle-aged man who was bending over to salute. "Since you saw the opportunity quickly today, I naturally have clear rewards and punishments. As long as you wait a few months, all the business in Shangshanfang will be completed." Yours...but before that, you have to tell me, what happened to Sun Wagua and my little Zhao?"
"Reporting to Mr. Feng Qi, it was for this reason that I weighed the importance and decided to open the door."
The middle-aged man below responded quickly. "That little Colonel Zhao was accidentally injured first, then suddenly became seriously injured at night, and now he is dead... Sun Wagua himself was panicked."
The originally lively hall was silent for a moment. Zhang Xing, who had followed him in specially, was startled. Feng Yong was also startled. Even the captain of the Jinwu Guards was also startled. No one expected that this little Zhao Juran is really dead.
