Chu Yi raised his glass and nodded slightly. Seeing this, He Tao couldn't help but look a little happy on his face.
As a person with no strong local backing, He Tao will naturally not miss any opportunity to seize opportunities.
In He Tao's eyes, Chu Yi is obviously an excellent backer.
Who doesn't know that the emperor relies so much on Chu Yi that he even set up an independent organization like Dongchang outside of the Imperial City Division, and Dongchang's actions in the past few years have also confirmed the emperor's regard for Dongchang.
If he missed this opportunity, He Tao felt that he might never have such an opportunity again. Therefore, even though he knew that his actions like this were likely to arouse the contempt of some people, He Tao did not care.
As long as he can get Chu Yi's approval, what other people's opinions are none of his business.
He Tao's attitude was barely stated directly. If Chu Yi still couldn't tell, then he would have been living in officialdom for so many years in vain.
Naturally, Chu Yi didn't take a small person like He Tao seriously, but Chu Yi had no intention of rejecting He Tao.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chu Yi looked at Shi Wenbin and said: "Shizhi County, I was ordered by the Emperor to supervise the robbery case of the birthday card. The place where the crime occurred is on the boundary of Yuncheng County. I don't know Shizhi County."
Any clues?" Mobile version::
Even though certain clues have been obtained through Dongchang's news channels, the necessary procedures still need to be carried out, and Chu Yi also wants to see if Shi Wenbin is just a person in name only.
Shi Wenbin had obviously been prepared for a long time. After all, he had received the news that Chu Yi came from Bianliang City to investigate the robbery of the birthday card. If Chu Yi did not ask about this matter, Shi Wenbin would
Wenbin found it strange.
Seeing Shi Wenbin put down the tea cup in his hand, he looked at Chu Yi with a straight face and said: "The admiral inquired, and Shi also happened to have some information, but this case has always been the arrest of He Tao He, the envoy sent by the Jeju government.
The envoy is responsible, and Shi only knows a few things. As for the details, it would be better to ask an envoy to explain it to the admiral in detail."
He Tao's eyes lit up. He obviously didn't expect that Shi Wenbin would give him such an opportunity to show his face. You must know that although he was responsible for the case, Shi Wenbin had a clear grasp of the progress of the case. He knew everything
Shi Wenbin also knew about it.
But Shi Wenbin had no intention of showing off in front of Chu Yi. Instead, he gave the opportunity to him. When He Tao looked at Shi Wenbin, he couldn't help but show some gratitude in his eyes.
Chu Yi glanced at Shi Wenbin, smiled and said, "In that case, please ask Envoy He to tell Chu whether there are any clues."
Taking a step forward, He Tao bowed respectfully, and then told him all the clues the government had. Especially when Bai Sheng was mentioned, He Tao's face was filled with joy. After all, Bai Sheng was captured, which meant
As the case progresses, it is only a matter of time to find out his accomplices.
Chu Yi smiled and said: "The magistrate of the county, who is the envoy? I wonder who Bai Sheng's accomplices are in your opinion?"
After looking at each other, Shi Wenbin took a deep breath and said: "Bai Sheng is very familiar with Chao Gai and Chao Baozheng of Dongxi Village. They have a very good relationship. This county suspects that the robbery of the birthday card is closely related to Chao Gai."
.”
He Tao looked at Chu Yi and said: "I am 90% sure that the birthday card was robbed by Chao Gai and his group. I only need to give me a few more days and I will be confident enough to pry it open."
Bai Sheng’s mouth will definitely be able to obtain Bai Sheng’s confession.”
Yang Zhi, who was standing next to Chu Yi, said rather disdainfully: "I'm afraid that by that time, Chao Gai will have already escaped."
Although it is not clear who Yang Zhi is, just looking at Yang Zhi's clothes and standing next to Chu Yi, any fool can tell that Yang Zhi is definitely Chu Yi's confidant.
Being able to be so relied upon by Chu Yi, looking at Yang Zhi's appearance, some legends about Chu Yi flashed through his mind. He Tao's eyes lit up, and he obviously guessed Yang Zhi's identity.
I saw He Tao saying to Yang Zhidao: "Yang Tiha's words are reasonable, but He did not expect it well and made Yang Tiha laugh."
As he spoke, He Tao immediately bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Your Excellency, I am here. I am willing to take people to Dongxi Village to capture the suspect Chao Gai immediately."
Chu Yi looked at Shi Wenbin and said, "What do you think of the county, Shi Zhi?"
Shi Wenbin said: "I will obey the angel's instructions and fully assist the angel in supervising the case."
Gently knocking on the table, Chu Yi said to Yang Zhi who was standing beside him: "Yang Zhi, please take someone on a mission to assist He Ji in handling the case. We must arrest Chao Gai and bring him to justice."
When Yang Zhi heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately accepted the order. He Tao also had a happy face and said to Yang Zhi with a hint of humility: "Yang Tiha, please give me some advice."
Soon a team of people was gathered, numbering hundreds of people.
Chao Gai's name is also a well-known figure in Yuncheng County. Who doesn't know that there are hundreds of villagers under Chao Gai, and Chao Gai's bravery is famous far and wide. As an old acquaintance of Chao Gai, He Tao has a reputation for Chao Gai.
Paying attention to it, he gathered hundreds of soldiers and horses as much as possible within his own authority.
Yang Zhi obviously disapproved of He Tao's seriousness. After all, Yang Zhi was in the capital and had never heard of Chao Gai's name. In Yang Zhi's view, Chao Gai was just a thief leader.
Not even a character.
To be honest, if Chu Yi hadn't called him by name, Yang Zhi would have had no interest in going to capture Chao Gai.
For people like Chao Gai, it would be enough for He Tao to go and arrest him, but since Chu Yi had named him, Yang Zhi naturally had to take action.
Holding torches, a group of people, led by He Tao and Yang Zhi, left the city gate and headed straight for Dongxi Village.
He Tao has been here to investigate the robbery of the birthday card for some time, and even targeted Chao Gai. In this case, if He Tao doesn't even know where Dongxi Village is, then it's obviously
Impossible.
Among the team, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, as the county's infantry and cavalry commanders, naturally accompanied the large group of people.
Among the crowd, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng whispered: "Chao Gai has an irresistible friendship with brother Song Jiang, but he never thought that he was the thief who robbed the birthday card. He alerted the court and even sent the fierce god Chu Yi down.
, it seems that Chao Gai is really doomed this time!"
Lei Heng sighed softly and said: "If brother Song Jiang knew about it, I don't know how sad he would be."
Zhu Tong just said: "If you ask me, it is not a good thing that Brother Song Jiang has close contact with those people in the world. If Chao Gai's incident can make Brother Song Jiang realize the true face of these people, it will be good."
Not bad.”
Lei Heng nodded and said: "Brother is right. After this, you and I want to persuade Brother Song Jiang that it is best to keep a certain distance from those people in the world in the future. This time it is Chao Gai. Fortunately
My brother was not implicated, otherwise, wouldn’t it be an injustice?”
It is only a dozen miles from Dongxi Village to the county seat. However, the official road has been in disrepair for a long time, and the large group of people can't get up quickly. Looking from a distance, they can see a long, winding and rugged dragon that looks very eye-catching in the night.
The villages they passed along the way were alarmed, and many people were so frightened when they saw the large group of officers and soldiers holding torches passing by that they closed their doors tightly, for fear of getting into trouble.
In Chao Gai Zhuangzi of Dongxi Village, except for Bai Sheng who was captured by the government, everyone involved in the birthday gang case is here.
At this moment, everyone had obviously agreed on the idea of choosing a place to drop the grass, but a few people started arguing over where to drop the grass.
According to Wu Yong's idea, that is to choose a nearby copycat, then seize the other party's copycat, and become the master on his own.
However, Gongsun Sheng suggested to go elsewhere because the nearby mountain villages were out of reach of Gongsun Sheng.
Song Jiang was sitting among them, seeming a little embarrassed. Chao Gai coughed slightly and stopped the dispute between Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong. He looked at Song Jiang and said: "Brother Song Jiang, you have been in Gongmen for a long time, so your knowledge must be extraordinary. No
Do you know what brother Song Jiang has to offer?"
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said quickly: "Song Jiang is not very talented and has little knowledge, but he is not as good as Mr. Wu. With Taoist Gongsun's knowledge, please stop joking."
Wu Yong stroked his beard and said, "Brother Song Jiang, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, please speak out."
After looking at the crowd, Song Jiang pondered for a while and then said: "If this is the case, then Song Jiang is lying."
As he spoke, Song Jiang pointed to a simple map in front of a few people, clicked on a place on the map and said: "In Song Jiang's opinion, if you want to drop grass, this is the best place."
Several people's eyes lit up when they saw where Song Jiang was pointing. Chao Gai even said: "Eight hundred miles of water lies in Liangshan! It's wonderful, it's wonderful. If we can stand here, we really won't be afraid of the army."
Encirclement and suppression.”
Eight hundred miles of water lies in Liangshan Mountain. It can be said that anyone with a little knowledge knows this place. To be honest, this place is by no means a good place for people with great ambitions, but it is not a good place for a group of people who have no ambitions.
For those who have great ambitions and only want stability, the eight hundred miles of water is the best barrier. Unless the noisy is too much, the court will not bother to send troops to encircle and suppress it.
Wu Yong frowned and said: "The eight hundred miles of water in Liangshan is indeed a good place, but if I remember correctly, this place seems to have been occupied by a group of thieves."
Song Jiang nodded and said: "Yes, Song knows this person. His name is Wang Lun. He is a failed scholar who has occupied Liangshanbo. He has several leaders under his command, but he has nothing to offer.
"Character, if Brother Chao Gai comes here, I think the leader Wang will definitely welcome him."
Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but shook his head secretly after hearing this. Song Jiang said simply. If they really went to Liangshanbo, Wang Lun would not be as welcoming as Song Jiang said.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside Zhuangzi, and several villagers stumbled in. Seeing Chao Gai from a distance, he said: "Baozheng, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened. There are a large number of officers and soldiers running."
Come with Zhuangzi."
Song Jiang suddenly stood up, with a look of shock on his face and said: "No, the government must have sent people to arrest you brothers. What should we do? What should we do?"
Chao Gai, on the other hand, only had a hint of shock on his face, and then he calmed down and said to Song Jiang, who looked panicked: "Brother Song Jiang, don't panic, they are just a group of officers and soldiers. I don't take him seriously."
While he was talking, Chao Gai said to the Ruan brothers, Gongsun Sheng, Liu Tang, and Wu Yong: "You guys are willing to go with me to meet with the army."
Seeing Chao Gai's generous and righteous appearance, Ruan Xiaoqi shouted loudly: "I'm afraid he's a bird, he's just a group of officers and soldiers, wait until I chop them all down and feed them to the fish!"
Originally, there were hundreds of villagers in Chao Gai's village. As the saying goes, they all flew away when the disaster came. Even Chao Gai's loyalty could not withstand the intimidation of the officers and soldiers.
The villagers who originally numbered hundreds of people quickly escaped, with less than thirty people left.
However, those Zhuang Ding who could choose to stay at this time were obviously people who were not afraid of death and dared to fight. These people followed Chao Gai, the Ruan brothers and others out of Zhuangzi, and suddenly saw a fire dragon approaching in the distance.
"Light a bonfire!"
The blazing flames burned, and Chao Gai lit a bonfire in front of Zhuangzi, which naturally alerted He Tao and others who were rushing towards Zhuangzi.
Although he had already realized that Chao Gai would be alarmed, he did not expect that Chao Gai would react so quickly. The most important thing was that Chao Gai not only did not escape, but took the initiative to stay.
When he got closer, He Tao could only see a dark area in front of him through the light of the fire. The person leading it was none other than Chao Gai, known as the King of Pagodas.
The people beside Chao Gai were all extraordinary people, and He Tao couldn't help but frown.
On the contrary, Yang Zhi's eyes swept over the Ruan brothers and Chao Gai, especially Chao Gai, who was extremely tall and tall.
Chao Gaisheng was extremely powerful and devoted himself to practicing the ancestral skills. In order not to distract him, he even did not marry a wife. With such hard training, Chao Gai's cultivation can be said to be very strong.
That one step can lead you to the realm of the supreme master.
It was precisely because he noticed Chao Gai's invisible aura that Yang Zhi stared at Chao Gai and the others.
He Tao took a step forward, pointed the spear in his hand at Chao Gai and said: "Chao Gai, your trouble has happened. If you know what's going on, you can arrest them without mercy. Maybe there is still a way to survive."
When Chao Gai heard this, he couldn't help laughing. The sound was as loud as thunder. A big tree in front of Zhuangzi also rustled. The officers and soldiers were even more shocked and stunned. It seemed that they didn't expect Chao Gai to be such a person.
"scold!"
Seeing that the minds of the officers and soldiers have been taken away by Chao Gai, if Chao Gai is allowed to continue like this, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will be defeated before they take action.
Then Yang Zhi shouted loudly, and that scolding was like the thunder from the sky exploding, which brought the stunned officers and soldiers back to their senses.
Taking the first step to meet Chao Gai's eyes, Yang Zhi's momentum soared into the sky, and he started to compete with Chao Gai.
Chao Gai looked at Yang Zhi in surprise. He did not expect that there was someone in the army who could compete with him. He naturally looked at Yang Zhi one more time and heard Chao Gai say: "What do you call your Excellency?"
Then Yang Zhi pointed at Chao Gai and said, "Chao Gai, listen, the person who captured you is Yang Zhi from Tianbo Mansion!"
The reputation of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion can be said to be known all over the world. Suddenly, when Yang Zhi revealed his origin, Chao Gai looked serious and said: "I never thought that you are a descendant of the loyal Yang family. If you fall into the hands of Chao Gai, you will be protected."
Your life!"
When Yang Zhi heard this, he immediately became furious and said, "What an arrogant thief! How dare you say such arrogant words? Give me a knife."
They saw Yang Zhi slashing at Chao Gai with a knife, and Chao Gai also looked solemn. Based on the momentum comparison just now, the difference in the momentum between the two is not too big, but if you really want to talk about it, Chao Gai is still slightly stronger.
One chip.
Yang Zhi was furious when Chao Gai provoked him, but Chao Gai looked calm and calm. He pulled out an iron rod weighing dozens of kilograms and struck Yang Zhi.
With a buzzing sound, the broadsword and the iron rod clashed together, only to make a roar. The roar resounded all around and woke up the people on both sides.
When He Tao saw that Yang Zhi was already fighting with Chao Gai, he immediately shouted: "Everyone kill the thief for me, and I will reward each thief with fifty guan for his head!"
As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. As soon as He Tao finished speaking, he saw that the officers and soldiers rushed forward with a splash as if they had been given blood.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers rushed forward, and Chao Gai, the Ruan brothers, Liu Tang and even Gongsun Sheng each took out their weapons and charged into the crowd.
Although the Ruan brothers are said to be powerful warriors on the water, they are still very brave on land. There are almost no enemies wherever they go. In addition, Liu Tang and Gongsun Sheng rushed into the crowd, and they were so different in numbers.
In severe cases, the generals were stunned to suppress the momentum of the officers and soldiers.
