Follow the road and follow it all the way.
The other side deliberately confuses the situation and splits into several groups.
However, the person who was robbed was not Zheng Xiong himself, but was specially arranged. The final result was that he could never escape the pursuit.
People's sixth sense is especially obvious in this dark night.
From night to day, even after escaping to the mountains, the feeling of heart palpitations still lingers.
"Where are you?"
"have no idea."
"Well, forget it. I will take ten people to escort Zheng Xiong and his son to the west. You are divided into two groups. One group will go south, and the other group will stay to see if there are any pursuers. If there are any, send a warning. If not, go north. Let’s meet up in Macheng.”
"We only have this few people now. If we divide them further, will there be too few people? Besides, they may not be able to find us, so we are too cautious!"
The leader didn't say much, and slashed at the man with a knife. When the man was unprepared, he decapitated him with the knife.
"If you can't hear it, you don't have to listen to it anymore. What about you! What do you mean?"
The effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys is good, and the remaining people remain silent and keep their heads down.
"Hmph, the work we do requires decapitation. A slight oversight may lead to death. In serious cases, it will harm your family and your entire clan. If you are not careful, the result will be death. No matter how careful you are, you cannot be too careful."
"Now, I say we should split up, do you still have any objections?"
At this time, if you have any opinions, of course you will follow orders.
"No, just follow the leader's orders."
"If not, just hurry up and get ready, I'll take the first step."
When the leader left, the remaining ten people looked at each other in shock.
"There should be no danger for the time being. You go first, or we go first."
"I also think the leader is too careful. Let's guess the game! It's fair."
"Okay, rock, paper, scissors, I win, take care."
After a while, there were only five people left in the field, waiting in place.
"Look at what I do, I don't want to lose, but there is no other way. Find a place by yourselves, pay a little attention, and treat it as a rest."
After running for so long and still in this mountain, few people thought they had escaped yet.
Naturally, I relaxed a lot.
After relaxing, the feeling of fatigue emerges immediately.
After finding a secluded place, several people fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept for. It wasn't until a rustling sound was heard that someone opened their eyes and looked around confusedly.
However, the place in front of me was filled with people unconsciously.
The man was frightened and quickly picked up his weapon.
Suddenly, a big foot attacked, and the man was kicked to the ground, and then tied up.
The movement was so loud that the remaining people were woken up one after another, and they were controlled without even having time to react.
A figure slowly walked out of the crowd, stood in front of several people, and asked slowly.
"Are you here waiting for me? I believe you know something about the situation. Can you tell me about it?"
"The word "death" is everywhere, you might as well be happy, we won't say anything."
"That's not necessarily the case. If you tell me, I may be able to spare your life. Of course, only one person has this opportunity. Whoever speaks out first may avoid death. Whichever of you comes first."
It was damn oppressive and created an atmosphere of urgency.
The choice between life and death, no matter how stubborn a person was before, when the choice is placed in front of him, it still makes people break their defenses instantly.
"I said, we are~"
"Shut up, he's tricking us. Telling him will only make him die faster."
"Haha, whether he can survive depends on his performance, but you have nothing to gain now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a knife quickly passed by. The man who had interrupted forcefully died immediately, and his blood stained the faces of the others.
The feeling of oppression came up all of a sudden. The person who was originally prepared to confess and be lenient spoke quickly and quickly like beans poured from a bamboo tube.
"Spare your life, we stayed here to see if there are any pursuers. The others have already left in two directions. I only know so much. Please be patient and spare my life."
"How many people? Where are they going?"
"Ten people went west, including the kidnapped Marquis, and five people went south, and finally met in Macheng."
"You are very good. Come, take the person back and question him carefully."
After waiting for others to see him off, he didn't seem to be that anxious anymore and just looked at the mountains in a daze.
"Sir, there are footprints on the west and south sides. They have been dried. They must have been walking for a while. There are still prints on the west side, which were left by our people."
"Well, everyone listens to the order and chases west."
The pursuit was not that pleasant, and I almost lost them several times, especially since these ten people did not continue to the west, but turned around again. When the information was contrary to the information, it was even more difficult. Fortunately, someone in front left a mark. , only then can we hang behind.
After the caught officials and some of the people who were subsequently hunted down were arrested, Qiu Siwu in the state government office immediately began a surprise interrogation.
Looking at Shan Cong's place of origin, there is no clue. They are all kinds of people and come from various places.
The only thing they have in common is that these people are gangsters from all over the world. They were promised generous rewards and gathered here together.
It's useless. Officials are also greedy for profit. They give more to one side and are promised promotions.
Getting promoted and making a fortune, you have both, so naturally you dare to take risks.
But it was of no use. The people behind the scenes were too cautious and found nothing except some property.
The people he contacted have long since disappeared.
It can be said that nothing was gained.
We can only hope to track the people in the past.
For ten days, the two groups of people in the Dabie Mountains were still wandering around, lingering in the mountains and never wanting to come out.
Finally on this day, after a heavy rain, two groups of people walked out of the mountains one after another.
At this time, we have arrived in Henan.
Next, there was another chase.
It's a pity that when passing through a waterway, the trace was lost.
We had no choice but to divide our forces and search slowly upstream and downstream.
After another three days of tracking, the bad news came.
The bodies of two people appeared by the river. Their faces were soaked in the river water and their faces could not be seen clearly. The identities of the two people could only be vaguely judged from their clothes.
It is basically certain that the identity of the two people was known for some unknown reason, they were killed on the spot and their bodies were dumped in the river.
With a little hope, I continued to track, and after traveling a hundred miles in the direction where the body was found, I found an almost burned ship on a sandy beach.
A piece of ashes, rummaged through, and found their unique mark in a porcelain bottle.
A person's name is engraved on the bottom of the bottle, with the word "Fang Xing" written on it.
The clues are completely broken here.
The situation here in Lu'an Prefecture is the same. Apart from finding the lair of these hired gangsters, destroying their lair and finding some property, basically nothing was found.
Another team of five people appeared in Macheng, but they didn't gather smoothly and scattered.
These few people were from different places and were also gangsters. When they were chased to their lair, the clues were lost.
At this point, the only clue left is the clue with the word Fang Xing, which looks like a person's name.
And this clue is almost negligible. Finding such a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, with little hope.
