Monk!
Gu Zhengchen was a little shocked, he was the fourth person among the thieves!
Liang Jiajun looked at Liang Wujin, who was lying on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead. His expression changed drastically and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
The monk held a wooden stick and slowly turned to look at Gu Zhengchen and Liang Jiajun: "Hand over your money to avoid disaster. You two are officials, it's not a good look to suffer."
"Master, what should I do?"
Sun Shiba looked at Gu Zhengchen. As long as he said a word, he would fight even if he risked his life.
Gu Zhengchen raised his hand and put it on Sun Shiba's shoulder. He looked at the monk and the scarred man and said, "Bring out all the luggage and give it to them."
"master!"
Gu Cheng was a little anxious.
In the box were twenty guans brought from home and thirty guans allocated by the county government. If they were all robbed, how could they go to the capital?
You can't just find a broken bowl and beg on the streets to get to the capital, right?
Gu Zhengchen said in a deep voice: "Move."
Gu Cheng and Sun Shiba were a little unwilling to give in. Gu Zhengchen turned around and looked at the lake. So what if he didn't want to give in? Help had already arrived.
On the lake, four small boats were approaching.
Ten people got on the boat, and the bearded leader clasped his fists at the monk: "Old King Kong, how much money have you found?"
Old King Kong pinched his rosary beads and said, "Move them all. There are also their boxes. Let's move them together."
The bearded man looked at Gu Zhengchen, Liang Jiajun and others, waved his hand, and the thief forcefully broke into the cabin, moved out Liang Jiajun and Gu Zhengchen's boxes, opened them, looked at the money, smiled immediately, and went to the cabin happily. Move on a boat.
Gu Zhengchen looked at the thieves carrying the luggage and reminded: "Be careful, don't damage it."
The bearded man looked at Gu Zhengchen, approaching step by step, slowly raising the steel knife in his hand: "Boy, you are looking for death!"
Sun Shiba glanced under the bench and saw that his steel knife was hidden there. As long as he pushed this person over, he would be able to get the steel knife.
"It's getting late, don't make matters worse."
Old King Kong stopped the bearded man and arranged for people to move the boxes.
Although the big ship is good, it is difficult to move forward and retreat, and it is inconvenient to hide. Once bitten, it is difficult to escape, and it is worse than the thief's own small boat.
Liang Jiajun slumped down and watched all his luggage being taken away, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
Gu Zhengchen watched coldly as the thieves searched. These people packed two boxes in bulk, moved six more boxes of contents, and transferred them all to the boat.
Scar Man and Old Beard got on the boat respectively.
Lao Jingang walked to the stern of the ship and looked at Gu Zhengchen in the cabin. He paused with his staff and said with a smile: "Amitabha, sir, you have extraordinary magnanimity and are calm in times of crisis. You will definitely achieve great things. This disaster is all destined."
Gu Zhengchen looked at the old monk and said calmly: "Go slowly, I won't see you off."
The old monk laughed and got on the boat.
Gu Zhengchen walked towards the stern of the boat coldly and said sternly: "Sun Shiba, Gu Cheng, untie the boatman and boatman's ropes and let them control the boat."
People arrive at the stern of the boat.
Gu Zhengchen looked at the thieves laughing loudly not far away, raised his foot and stepped on it hard.
Boom!
Lift your foot again and step down hard!
Boom!
Followed by two consecutive heavy taps!
Just when everyone didn't know why, the utility room door at the bottom of the cabin was kicked open!
Ling Yan spit, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and strode out, followed by six archers.
Gu Zhengchen put his hands behind his back: "Now, get our luggage back!"
Ling Yan walked to the stern of the boat, drew his bow, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh!
Old King Kong was laughing loudly and discussing with the other thieves how to be happy after returning home. He never expected that an arrow would be shot from behind him. By the time the other thieves warned him, it was already too late. He was hit by an arrow in his shoulder and fell unsteadily into the Luoma Lake!
Other archers also fired arrows. The thieves who had not gone far never expected that officers and soldiers suddenly appeared on the lake. In panic, a small boat circled in the distance, and the thieves on it were injured or shot.
"Row, pursue!"
Gu Zhengchen looked at the dazed boatman and ordered coldly.
Captain Wang was a little confused. This was not Taizhuang's inspection tour. Why did he bring people to his ship? Without time to think about it, he felt sorry for his lost goods, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, rock the boat!"
Sun Shiba stepped forward and snatched the bow and arrow from a sergeant: "Let me do it!"
Ling Yan glanced at it and then looked at Gu Zhengchen.
Gu Zhengchen nodded slightly, and Ling Yan said, "Give it to him!"
"And I!"
Liang Wujin moved his neck with a murderous look on his face.
"give him!"
"Inspection Ling!"
"They shot the thieves, and the credit belongs to you too!"
Ling Yan spoke, and his men immediately stopped talking.
Gu Zhengchen knew that the people in the inspection department were all militiamen. Although they practiced archery on weekdays, few of them were accurate. It can be seen from the few arrows just now that they were missed at a distance of about twenty steps.
Sun Shiba and Liang Wujin are different. Liang Wujin is a martial arts practitioner, while Sun Shiba has an unknown past. According to the Sun family, he is a good fighter.
Two arrows, two hits!
Ling Yan and others cheered up, Sun Shiba and Liang Wujin's arrows were bound to hit!
There were only three thieves in the boat where Old King Kong was. Except for Old King Kong who fell into the water, the two thieves were shot dead. Old King Kong was also fished out by the idle inspection department.
Ignoring the luggage on the boat and leaving one person to guard it, the boat continued its pursuit!
The thieves' boat was small, so it could run fast, but the arrows kept flying, and the rhythm was always disrupted. The box could cover the back, but not the front, let alone the left and right.
Boatman Wang and the boatman both held back their strength and rocked the boat hard. The boat approached quickly, and arrows flew past. They either jumped overboard or were hit by arrows.
The four boats, even if they dispersed, did not escape. The last boat that was able to escape was stopped when it was still more than a mile away from the reed swamp. Two thieves on the boat were shot and killed, and one person jumped into the lake.
A total of fourteen horse thieves, eight were killed and six were captured.
Ling Yan looked at the row of corpses and the injured prisoners. He was in a good mood. He raised his hands and shouted to Gu Zhengchen: "Brother Gu, we were able to accomplish this amazing feat of killing the thieves only because of Brother Gu's plan." , Ling Mou admires it!”
Gu Zhengchen patted the lost box and said with a smile: "This is all due to Inspector Ling and a group of brothers heroically killing thieves. Even without me, they will be captured by you sooner or later. Besides, I just want to protect myself..."
Ling Yan stared at the young man in front of him in awe.
Those who are meritorious but not greedy for merit can be friends!
Gu Zhengchen looked at Old King Kong, walked over, and said calmly: "This disaster is inevitable."
Old King Kong looked at Gu Zhengchen ferociously: "Today we admit defeat, but my dear husband, you have offended our thieves, aren't you afraid of our revenge?"
Gu Zhengchen stood up, walked towards Ling Yan, and whispered: "You should know that the emperor values Buddhism. If the emperor knows that a monk has become a robber and Shanshiyuan is involved, you may not be rewarded."
Ling Yan thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. Thieves are thieves, and being next to a monk would probably turn things off.
If this is the case, then this person cannot be kept!
