Cheng Jin was happy and angry. It was unreasonable to search a private house but still need the handwriting of the county chief! He shouted to the left and right: "Search! Anyone who obstructs us will be killed without mercy!"
Following Cheng Jin's order, the officers and soldiers of the direct army no longer had any worries, and rushed away from the Meng Mansion's servants like a tide, pouring directly into the mansion. As the soldiers rushed forward, Meng Ping'an was also collided, and the old man staggered.
He staggered back more than two meters, sat down on the ground, looked at the ferocious Feng Jun, and cried loudly: "Is there any more royal law, is there any heavenly justice..."
Cheng Jin, who was sitting on the horse, glanced at him and said with a sneer: "Wang Fa? Tianli? I tell you, here, I am Wang Fa and I am Tianli!"
Meng Ping'an also saw at this time that trying to reason with Cheng Jin would definitely not make sense. He asked the servants around him to rush to the county capital to find Wang Song. He must invite Wang Song over.&&
As a large number of officers and soldiers directly under the army entered, the huge Meng Mansion seemed to explode. There was a roar of people, screams and chaos.
As time went by, the soldiers who went in to search for the assassins returned one after another, and the news they brought back was the same. Nothing was found, and no whereabouts of the assassins were found at all.
Finally, the two regiments led by the Directly Affiliated Army also exited the Meng Mansion one after another, came to Cheng Jin, raised their hands and said, "General Cheng, no suspicious persons have been found in the Meng Mansion."
Cheng Jin frowned and asked, "Have you searched all the places?"
"Yes, General Cheng, oh, but except for...except for the other courtyard where the female relatives live, we have not entered, and we have searched all other places." A regiment commander replied.
"The other courtyard where the female family members live?" Cheng Jin pondered for a moment and asked in a cold voice: "Why don't you go in and search?"
"This... I'm afraid it's inconvenient, and... the people from the Meng Mansion are blocking the entrance of the other courtyard, preventing us from entering." The regiment commander said with a troubled face.
Cheng Jin's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, and he asked: "What did I tell you just now? If there is any obstruction, shoot and kill. Didn't you hear clearly?"
The two regiment commanders trembled, glanced at each other, stepped in and saluted, and without saying a word, immediately led their soldiers back to the Meng Mansion to search the other courtyard where the female family members lived.
Meng Ping'an, who was not far away, could hear clearly. He staggered forward and said to Cheng Jin in a trembling voice: "General, there are many female relatives in this old man's family, and they are all asleep now. You... so many people go in
How decent is the search?"
Cheng Jin snorted coldly and said: "If you have no evil intentions in your heart, how can you be afraid of us going in and searching! Meng Ping'an, if you dare to push back and obstruct me again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
As he spoke, he shook his head to the two regiment commanders and motioned for them to act quickly.
At this moment, a group of cavalry rushed down the street. There was also a carriage among the cavalry. When they arrived in front of the Meng Mansion, the cavalry stopped. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man in official uniform walked out.
This person is none other than the head of Zeping County—Wang Song.
Wang Song got out of the carriage, looked around, and was startled by the huge crowd of soldiers. He was surprised that he had not ordered the mobilization of the army, so why did the army suddenly come to the Meng Mansion?
Is it an order from the county lieutenant?
But it shouldn't be. County Captain Zhang Qian is his old partner. He doesn't know about his relationship with Meng Pingan, so why would he attack Meng Pingan?
He was completely puzzled. After getting off the carriage, he walked towards the main entrance with great dignity and asked loudly: "Who can tell me what is going on?"
Hearing Wang Song's loud voice, Meng Ping'an turned his head subconsciously and looked happy. Wang Song's arrival seemed to have found his backbone. He ran forward quickly, raised his hands and said: "Master Wang, you can count on me."
If you don't come here, I will be bullied to death soon."
For Wang Song, Meng Pingan is his God of Wealth. Meng Pingan's gifts to him every month are enough for Wang Song's family to wear gold and silver and have no worries about food and clothing.
It was rare to see Meng Ping'an turn pale when he was so angry. Wang Song also showed an angry look, holding the old man's hands, and shouted to everyone: "Who made Mr. Meng suffer injustice? Stand up for me!"
"
"It's me!" With a reply, Cheng Jin spurred his horse out and came to Wang Song.
"You have taken the courage of a bear and a leopard..." Wang Song raised his head while cursing, but when he looked up, he met Cheng Jin's cold and sharp gaze.
At that moment, Wang Song felt his head buzzing, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to freezing point, as if he was in an ice cellar.
Others may not know Cheng Jin, but how could Wang Song not know him? He was the big boss of Dark Arrow. Not to mention he was a mere county chief, even high-ranking officials in the imperial court were within the scope of Dark Arrow's punishment. He was stunned.
After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses. He shivered, raised his hands, bowed to the ground, and stammered: "It turns out...it's General Cheng. I...I didn't know it was General Cheng here.
If there is any offense, please... please forgive me, General Cheng."
Wang Song's attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn, which caught Meng Ping An off guard and was also surprised by Cheng Jin's identity.
Cheng Jin didn't even look at Meng Pingan, his cold gaze fell directly on Wang Song's face, and said in a deep voice: "I heard from Meng Pingan that the friendship between the two of you is irreversible. Now, I am here to search for the assassin. If the assassin is really found,
If the Meng Mansion finds out, Mr. Wang may not be able to escape his involvement!"
In just one sentence, Wang Song was covered in sweat, and big beads of sweat fell down his cheeks. He was trembling as he stood there, not daring to take a breath.
Being in front of Cheng Jin is not necessarily easier than in front of Tang Yin. In any case, the king is relatively tolerant to his subordinates, but the secret arrow is different. Whether it is against the enemy or one's own people, his methods are vicious and he will use all possible means.
Just as they were talking, suddenly, deafening shouts came from the Meng Mansion: "Assassin! It's an assassin! Don't let the assassin escape-"
When Cheng Jin heard the word assassin, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at Wang Song and Meng Ping'an and said urgently to the left and right: "Control them all. No one here can be let go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man and the horse had disappeared. At the same time, a large number of assassins around him also disappeared one after another.
Wang Song was dumbfounded. He never thought in his wildest dreams that there was really an assassin hiding in Meng Ping'an's home.
He turned around, looked at Meng Pingan with disbelief, and asked stammering: "Meng...Mr. Meng, what...is going on? You...can't frame me!"
Meng Ping'an was like a deflated rubber ball at this time, his body limply slumped to the ground, his eyes were dull, and he said it was over! He knew very well in his heart what the consequences would be if the assassin was found in his home. I am afraid it would not be as simple as the disaster for his family.
.
Speaking of Cheng Jin, he did not enter the Meng Mansion with a horse, but followed the courtyard wall outside. Cheng Jin was rich in experience. The assassin would not dare to fight when his whereabouts were exposed, and would definitely break out. He planned to intercept the assassin outside the Meng Mansion.
.
Cheng Jinliu was indeed right. The three assassins who were searched out all fled toward the east courtyard wall, preparing to jump over the wall and break out of the Feng army's siege.
The three of them are all dark spiritual cultivators and are proficient in dark spiritual martial arts. When they arrived in front of the courtyard wall, the three of them used shadow drift to escape to the courtyard wall. Then, they used shadow drift to dodge outside the courtyard wall.
As soon as the three people came out, they came face to face with the soldiers of the direct army who were responsible for the siege outside. The soldiers swarmed and the three of them surrounded them. How could the three of them dare to entangle with the wind soldiers at this time? The three of them cast shadow again.
Drifting, some people dodged into the crowd of Feng Jun, and others dodged directly above Feng Jun's head, intending to jump out of the encirclement.
Their movements were fast enough, but someone on Feng Jun's side was not slow either. They saw the assassin who had flashed into the air just appeared, and to his left and right, a dark-type cultivator covered in black spiritual armor appeared out of thin air.
Spiritual Cultivators, before the assassin could come back to his senses, two dark spiritual cultivators took action and locked the assassin's arms tightly.
The three of them fell from mid-air together, and with a bang, the three of them landed on the ground, shaking up the dust on the ground.
The assassin screamed and struggled hard, but the big hands of the two dark spiritual cultivators were like iron pliers, holding his double bowls without any loosening.
The assassin howled and raised his legs, and wanted to kick the two dark spiritual cultivators who caught him. At this time, another dark spiritual cultivator appeared behind him. The man didn't say anything and used
The handle of the spiritual sword in his hand hit the assassin hard on the back of the head.
A snapping sound was heard in the helix of the ear, and the spiritual armor on the assassin's head shattered. At the same time, his eyes lost their vitality, they rolled back, and he fainted on the spot.
Before he fell to the ground, someone had taken out the Spirit-Spreading Pill, opened his mouth, and stuffed it in. This was just a corner of the battlefield, and the other two assassins who had infiltrated the Feng Army were not much better.
, being stared at by the assassins who were following him.
One of them was cut into several pieces on the spot during the fight with the hidden arrow personnel, and the other was captured alive. None of the three assassins ran away, and they were all caught by the hidden arrow personnel.
Killing one and capturing two alive, this operation can be said to be a complete victory. Cheng Jin also looked very happy and beamed with joy.
When he led the assassins and escorted the two captured assassins back to the main entrance of Meng Mansion, Cheng Jin glanced at Wang Song and Meng Ping'an and asked in a cold voice: "You two, are you still doing this now?"
What’s the explanation?”
Plop! Before anyone else could say anything, Wang Song's knees softened and he knelt on the ground. Then he used his knees as feet and climbed up to Cheng Jin. With snot and tears flowing out, he cried: "General Cheng, this is the case."
It has nothing to do with Xiaguan. Xiaguan and Meng... are not familiar with this old man. They don't know that he has a relationship with the assassin. I hope the general will find out..."
