Xu Xiao quickly arrived at the scene with the government officials. Looking at the mess on the ground and Shen Wenjun crying in Song Che's arms, he sighed: "Is she okay?"
Even though Song Che was angry, now was not the time to vent his anger. He just said in a deep voice: "The one who is still alive is D Fei, the second leader of the Feiyun Gang. You try your best to prevent him from dying. I have another use."
"Feiyun Gang?" Xu Xiao frowned.
"Wait for me at the gate of Shen's mansion tonight." Song Che picked up Shen Wenjun and got back into the carriage, and sped home.
…
"Song Che, are you still there?"
Shen Wenjun curled up in the bed, holding Song Che's hand tightly, not to mention her, even Song Che was still frightened at this moment.
"Go to sleep, I'm here, don't be afraid." Song Che rested his head on Shen Wenjun's forehead. The deeper the night went, the clearer and firmer his eyes became.
It wasn't until the person in his arms fell asleep that he dared to sigh out the suppressed sigh in his heart. This world is really full of malice towards good people...
It wasn't until he was embarrassed that Song Che quietly opened Shen Wenjun's fingers, covered him with a quilt, quietly and slowly got out of bed, and walked outside Shen's residence.
Outside the mansion, Xu Xiao was holding a knife and leaning against the eaves. When he saw Song Che going out, his first sentence was:
"I have informed Lieutenant Zheng of the City Defense Army that a curfew will be implemented from tonight to strictly control everyone entering and leaving Suzhou."
Song Che shook his head, "There are countless dog holes under the walls of Suzhou City. You can't guard against bandits trying to get in."
Xu Xiao looked at Song Che, "But you have a way, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me to come."
Song Che said: "Tell me about the Feiyun Gang first."
"The Feiyun Gang is entrenched in Qili Mountain, one hundred miles southwest of Yangzhou and one hundred and thirty miles northwest of Suzhou. There are five to six hundred people gathered. Most of them are wanted criminals by the government. They make a living by robbing merchants traveling by water and land. Their leader His name is Chen Feihu, the second in charge is called Di Yun, and the third in charge is called Tu Cheng. The Hong brothers should also have a place in the Feiyun Gang;
Qili Mountain has a special geographical location, with steep slopes in the north, south and west. Only the east slope can enter the mountain. The foot of the mountain connects the tributaries of the Yangtze River and the mouth of the canal. In short, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the gangsters are ferocious. The defense forces in the cities in the south of the Yangtze River are all pampered old soldiers with extremely weak combat effectiveness, so there is nothing they can do. "
Song Che hummed: "In my opinion, they are just a bunch of rabble. I killed three of the five leaders."
"Di Fei is also dead. He died as soon as he was carried back," Xu Xiao said curiously: "I'm really confused. Di Fei's martial arts is not inferior to mine. How can you, a person who doesn't understand martial arts, kill them instantly?" ?”
"Relying on force to kill people is reckless," Song Che nodded his head, "Relying on this is what makes you a master."
"Okay, I'm a reckless man," Xu Xiao asked, "Can Mr. Song tell me what to do?"
Song Che said: "Don't release the news that Di Fei is dead for the time being, and ask Mr. Zhou to issue a notice saying that Di Fei has been captured and will be beheaded in Beishi City in three days;
Chen Feihu has killed so many brothers, so he will definitely bring people to rob the execution ground. Then you ask the city defense army to disguise themselves as common people and ambush everywhere in the market. If the bandits really take action, then join forces to encircle and suppress them. Capture the thieves first and capture the king - note Remember, there is no need to have too many soldiers in the public area, so as not to scare them away from showing their heads. "
"It's a good idea," Xu Xiao wondered again: "But Di Fei is dead, how can he get to the execution ground?"
Song Che looked at Xu Xiao from beginning to end, and after a long time he softly said: "Xu Dutou is quite similar in height and physique to Di Fei."
"You mean..." Xu Xiao narrowed his eyes, nodded, and then asked, "What if Chen Feihu doesn't come to rob the law field?"
Song Che said: "If you don't come to rob the court, it means that these bandits have no loyalty at all, and they are just a rabble. I will have a clever plan to wipe them out by then."
Xu Xiao said no more, cupped his fists and saluted, and left.
…
For the next three days, Shen Wenjun never left home. In order not to cause panic to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Song Che also did not tell them about the attack that night.
The news of bandits entering the city quickly spread throughout Suzhou City, and few people walked around in the clear day.
Song Che stopped setting up his stall and postponed the opening of the new store. At this moment, the banditry problem was not eliminated, and he felt uneasy every day.
On the morning of the day of Wenzhan, Song Che went to the blacksmith shop and took away the parts of the spear. He came to Beishi early and rented a second-floor guest room in a nearby inn. When he opened the window, he could face the execution ground. It was not far or near. Twenty Yu Zhang is just right for ambush and disguise.
He put the spear together, filled it with enough explosives, loaded the bullet, placed it in the window gap, and waited quietly for the prey to appear.
Noon.
Twenty government officials and fifty city defense troops escorted the prison car and slowly drove into the East City. The executioners and supervisors were in place one after another.
Gradually, the "common people" who came to watch the execution gradually moved closer to Beishi.
Xu Xiao came yesterday to inform him that he would arrange for 300 soldiers to disguise themselves as civilians, and now there are at least 456 soldiers in Bei City.
At the cusp of the storm, ordinary people would never dare to go out to join in the fun. Even if they did, there wouldn't be many of them. So, could these more than a hundred people be the bandits who robbed the execution site?
Those who carry burdens, those who push carts, those who sell vegetables, those who mend pots... Beishi is originally a vegetable market with a lot of people. Everyone is staring at the execution ground, as if they are watching with eagerness, but they also seem to be watching the excitement.
Changed from the lively atmosphere of the past, the entire execution ground was silent, as if it was the calm before the storm.
"Difei" was taken to the execution ground. His hair was disheveled, his prison uniform was dripping with blood, and he wore a hood hanging over his head. Who could tell the truth from the lie?
At three quarters of noon, every breath lasts like a year.
Finally, the sun reaches its peak.
The beheading officer stood up and read through the approval document: "The bandit leader Di Fei committed burning, killing, looting, and committed all kinds of evil. His crimes are extremely heinous and he is sentenced to death by execution." He picked up the beheading order and threw it away: "The time has come, behead!"
The executioner received the order, removed the death card from Di Fei's back, and raised the beheading knife high, but just when the knife was about to fall——
"Whoosh!"
A money dart flew from nowhere and pierced the executioner's throat!
"Second brother, we are here to save you!" A black-faced man jumped out of the crowd and rushed straight to the execution ground.
At the same time, the person carrying the burden pulled away the cover, the person pushing the cart lifted the straw, and the person selling vegetables threw away the leaves, revealing a white-edged machete!
The bandit hiding in the crowd quickly took the machete and rushed to the execution ground with the black-faced man!
The officers and soldiers who were ambushing in the crowd hurriedly ran to the execution ground, pulled out their hidden weapons, and joined the government officials to face the enemy!
"Brother, it's not good! We fell into a trap!"
"Haha... with these miscellaneous soldiers, I am just chopping melons and vegetables!"
"Bang bang bang bang..."
There was a melee at the Bei City execution ground, and there were also some real people who were joining in the fun. The killing was so intense that people were screaming and running around!
The bandits were holding short swords, and there were more than seventy or eighty people in sight. There were three hundred officers and soldiers in ambush. Including the government officials and guards, there were nearly four hundred people.
However, the fighting power of four hundred people was not as good as that of eighty people. They did not hold out for long before the bandits were like sharp swords, breaking through the layers of defense of the officers and soldiers and heading straight towards the execution ground!
Song Che stared at Chen Feihu, the big black man who took the lead in the killing. He shot the man first, the horse first, and the thief first, the king. Once the bandit leader was dead, the rest of the gang was no longer a threat.
Chen Feihu's body movements are flexible and his moves are vicious, but Song Che has never been able to find the right opportunity to shoot.
"Second brother, I'm here to save you!" Chen Feihu broke out from the crowd and rushed to Di Fei. He was about to reach out and take him away——
"Thief leader, look at the knife!"
Xu Xiao raised his hand fiercely and stabbed Chen Feihu in the abdomen with the dagger in his sleeve!
Unexpectedly...
"Bang!"
The abdomen was undamaged, but the dagger broke into two halves!
Hard Qigong!
