Chapter nine hundred and eighty first investigation together
Sun Xiang looked at Long Yuan and others with a gloomy face, raised his head and asked: "Who are you all? Do you know who I am? If you dare to come to my land, Sun Xiang, to cause trouble, you have taken the courage of a bear and a leopard..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a scream, and one of his men flew out of the house, fell into the yard with a thud, and rolled a long way before he stopped. Liu Xiu escaped from the house.
He walked out hurriedly and said: "Mr. Sun opened not only a gambling house, but more like a den of thieves. If he can't afford to lose, he will resort to fraud. If his fraud is discovered, he will rob or kill someone to silence him. But the county captain
Zhang Bi taught you to do this?"
Sun Xiang looked at Liu Xiu, gritted his teeth, nodded, and said with a sinister smile: "You are sincerely looking for trouble, right? OK, OK, since you are here, no one should leave!"
"
As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted: "Call all the brothers!"
A big man under him agreed, raised his hand, put his index finger into his mouth, and blew a long and sharp whistle.
Immediately afterwards, more than 20 people suddenly poured out from around the courtyard, some holding swords and some holding knives, and they all glared at Liu Xiu and others.
Liu Xiu shrugged, laughed, and said lightly: "Take them all!"
"I want your lives first! Give them to me! No one will be spared!" Sun Xiang roared angrily.
Following his order, everyone rushed forward. A big man stepped in front of Long Yuan and slashed at his head with a knife. Long Yuan's horizontal sword moved upward to parry, clanging, blocking the way.
While lowering the opponent's sword, Long Yuan raised his leg and hit the opponent's chest. As the big man fell to the ground, two more big men rushed up with swords, and stabbed Long Yuan's left and right chests with their swords.
Yuan blocked with his sword and fought with the two men.
At the same time, Long Zhun, Long Bo, Xu Ying, Xu Ting, and Xu Fei had already fought with the others. In the courtyard, the sound of swords, swords, and jingling sounds could be heard all of a sudden.
Sun Xiang, who was watching the battle, glared angrily at Liu Xiu who was standing at the door of the room. He raised his head to the two men beside him, nuzzled his lips towards Liu Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "Kill him!"
The two big men nodded, leaned against the courtyard wall, and approached Liu Xiu little by little. When one of them was still five or six meters away from Liu Xiu, he suddenly roared and rushed towards Liu Xiu with his sword.
However, before he could reach Liu Xiu, a figure jumped out from behind Liu Xiu. At the same time as the figure arrived, the sword edge also arrived and struck directly at his neck. The big man was startled and hurriedly swung his sword to parry.
.
Bang! The stabbing edge was deflected, and before he could catch his breath, the opponent passed by him. He subconsciously turned around and saw an oncoming cold light.
He didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively swung his sword outward again. Bang! There was another crisp sound. The figure passed by his right side like a ghost again, and at the same time, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his right rib.
He couldn't help but groaned and staggered two steps to the side. Before he could stand still, he heard a pop, and then he saw the tip of a sword protruding from under his chin.
The big man stood frozen on the spot. After a while, he felt as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out of his body. He swayed a few times, and then fell forward. From the beginning to the end, he didn't see clearly who it was.
Take action against yourself.
The one who attacked him was Luo You. He barely blocked Luo You's first two swords, but he couldn't catch Luo You's third sword and couldn't dodge it. The sword blade stabbed him in the back of the neck.
In and out at his throat.
When another big man saw this, he couldn't help but scream strangely, and rushed towards Luo You with his sword. Luo You turned sideways to let the sword edge pass, and just when the opponent was about to rush towards her, she struck out like lightning and stabbed out with the sword.
, hitting the opponent's chest and abdomen.
Following the inertia of the opponent's forward attack, the sword opened a large gash over a foot long in the big man's lower abdomen. When the big man fell to the ground, his red and white intestines flowed all over the ground.
Luo You looked around and saw that no one was approaching Liu Xiu anymore. She then shook off her sword and retreated behind Liu Xiu.
Sun Xiang has many subordinates, and some of them are very skilled people, but the strength of these people is not even close to that of Long Yuan, Xu Ying and others.
Just when Luo You eliminated the two big men who were trying to harm Liu Xiu, more than ten people had fallen in the yard. The remaining twenty or so big men were getting more and more frightened and insecure as they fought.
In the blink of an eye, several more people fell to the ground, and the remaining dozen or so big men no longer dared to step forward rashly, and were so frightened that they backed away. When Sun Xiang saw this, he was angry and anxious, and roared: "What are you waiting for? Come on, hurry up.
! Come on!"
Liu Xiu, who was standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, looked up at Sun Xiang and said loudly: "Mr. Sun, why don't you do it yourself?"
Sun Xiang's expression changed and he subconsciously took two steps back.
At this moment, with the sound of rumbling footsteps, many county soldiers rushed out from the side door of the casino. Then, a bang was heard, and the back door on the other side of the yard was kicked open, and there were a lot of people.
The county soldiers rushed in.
Sun Xiang was stunned when he saw the many county soldiers who suddenly arrived on the scene. Sun Xiang's men were also stunned.
Long Yuan shook off the blood on his sword, sheathed it, walked up to Liu Xiu, and whispered: "Sir, my subordinate asked Yu Linlang to inform the county government."
Liu Xiu nodded, indicating that he understood.
The county soldiers who poured into the yard saw more than 20 people lying here and there, including the wounded and the dead. Their expressions also changed. Some of the county soldiers were holding up spears, and some were holding crossbows.
He shouted: "Put down your weapons! Everyone, put down their weapons!"
Sun Xiang swallowed, raised his finger, pointed at Liu Xiu and others, and shouted loudly: "It's them! It's them who broke into the casino, robbed money, and killed people! Catch them quickly! I am Zhang County Lieutenant's brother.
You help me capture them, and I will let County Lieutenant Zhang reward you heavily!"
Some of the county soldiers did know Sun Xiang, and they also knew that Sun Xiang had a good relationship with the county captain. Before the county soldiers could react, Zhang Ben walked from the casino into the backyard following the words. "What happened here?
"
Sun Xiang turned around and saw Zhang Ben coming. As if he had found his backbone, he hurried forward, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Brother Ben... Lieutenant Zhang, you came just in time, because they came to cause trouble in the brother's gambling house.
He also killed so many of our brothers..." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed fiercely at Liu Xiu.
Zhang Ben followed his fingers, looked up, and was stunned. After a while, his body was shaken, and he ran forward like a smoke, knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed forward, and stammered: "
No…I didn’t know that Your Majesty was here, but I…I came late, and my crime…is worthy of death!”
Seeing this scene, Sun Xiang was dumbfounded. His eyes widened in disbelief and he asked the people around him in a trembling voice: "Ben... what did Brother Ben call him just now?"
"You look so much like your Majesty..." a big man said tremblingly.
When Sun Xiang heard this, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a thud. He quickly kowtowed forward, his body trembling into a ball. Sun Xiang's men, and even the county soldiers present, also knelt down.
Liu Xiu glanced around at everyone present and said, "All county soldiers, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the county soldiers thanked them in unison, and then stood up one after another. Zhang Bi was about to stand up, but Liu Xiu walked up to him, patted his shoulder, pushed him back to the ground, and asked in a calm tone:
"I heard that Mr. Sun is a good friend and brother of Captain Zhang."
Zhang Bi shrank his neck and said quickly: "Sun Xiang is ignorant of Mount Tai and has offended His Majesty. I, the minister... I will report to Your Majesty on his behalf..."
Liu Xiu interrupted: "This Mr. Sun wants my life. Do you want to accept the punishment on his behalf?"
When Zhang Bi heard this, his head buzzed, his eyesight turned black, and he almost fainted on the spot. He hurriedly knocked his head on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Wei Chen... Wei Chen doesn't know..."
Liu Xiu said to Long Yuan: "Bring Mr. Sun here and let him explain the matter clearly to County Lieutenant Zhang."
Long Yuan responded and strode up to Sun Xiang. The latter was still kneeling on the ground. Long Yuan grabbed his collar and dragged him to Liu Xiu like he was trying to drag him to death, and threw him to the ground.
Sun Xiang, who was lying on the ground, quickly raised his body and continued to kneel and kowtow.
"Tell me exactly what happened just now." Long Yuan said coldly from the side.
"..." Sun Xiang put his head on the ground and said nothing. Long Yuan kicked him on the body and knocked Sun Xiang onto his back, shouting: "Speak!"
Now, Sun Xiang's mind was still in a blank state, but Long Yuan's kick actually woke him up. He knelt down on the ground again, hesitatingly recounting what happened.
In front of the emperor, how could he dare to lie? He told everything about how he deceived him and how he ordered his men to kill Liu Xiu and others to silence them.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bi lowered his head even lower. He slowly closed his eyes and said to himself, it's over! Not only is Sun Xiang over, he is over too.
Sun Xiang gradually expanded the casino under his protection. He turned a blind eye to what Sun Xiang did, thinking that as long as Sun Xiang didn't go too far, he would pretend he didn't see it and didn't know.
But he never expected that Sun Xiang would be so bold. Not only did he use deception to make money in a gambling house, but he also killed people and silenced them. The most important thing is that he actually provoked the emperor who was on patrol in disguise.
Sun Xiang is trying to break the truth! Sun Xiang is doomed this time, but what about himself? Can he, who has always protected Sun Xiang, be better off?
Zhang Ben, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating like rain. He was usually eloquent, but now he could not even utter a word.
Liu Xiu patted Zhang Bi's shoulder again and asked, "Did you hear everything clearly? Zhang County Lieutenant!"
"Weichen...Weichen deserves death..."
"A crime worthy of death? Well! That's right! You summed it up quite well!" Liu Xiu took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "The county soldiers obey the order!"
Wow! Following Liu Xiu’s shout, all the county soldiers present bowed and saluted.
"Take them all, escort them back to the county government, and hand them over to County Magistrate Dong for disposal!" Liu Xiu gave the order, and all the county soldiers present moved forward, walked up to Sun Xiang and his men, pulled their shoulders and backs, and captured them all.
Tie them up tightly.
Two other county soldiers walked up to Zhang Ben and wanted to take action, but they didn't dare. They looked cautiously at a military prince. The military prince secretly grinned, turned around, cupped his hands to Liu Xiu, and whispered: "Your Majesty!"
Liu Xiu's face darkened and he asked, "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear me clearly?"
The Junhou trembled and did not dare to say another word. He waved his hands fiercely at the two county soldiers. One of the county soldiers took off Zhang Bi's official hat, and then the two took out the rope and tied Zhang Bi up.
Sun Xiang, who was kneeling down beside him, turned to look at Zhang Bi, his eyes were red, his nose and tears were streaming down his face, he choked and said: "Brother Ben, it was...it was my brother who harmed you!"
Alas! Zhang Ben lowered his head and said nothing. What happened today was the root of his own trouble! These gangsters did help him solve many cases, but they also used his banner to do so.
There are many evil deeds in Luoyang City.
Because these people are useful to him and can help him investigate the case, he turned a blind eye to everything they did. Now that such a disaster has happened, who can he blame?
