Jiang Zhixian and Zhu Yue walked along the red carpet into the hall, where tables had been set up. Sitting on the main seat next to the table was Guo Renjie, the leader of the Yiyang Gang. Sitting on the left and right sides were Qian Fufei and Guo Zixiong. Next to Guo Zixiong, there was a familiar figure, the yamen servant Lao Zhang. Seeing Magistrate Jiang and Zhu Shuo come in, the four people stood up one after another and walked over to greet them.
Guo Renjie said: "Welcome Magistrate Jiang to our Yiyang Gang as a guest. I think everyone here is my own, so I won't introduce them one by one."
Jiang Zhixian glanced around and asked the yamen servant Lao Zhang: "Lao Zhang, are you here?"
Lao Zhang clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Magistrate, have a good evening."
Guo Zixiong said: "Zhang Yamen and we are old acquaintances. Besides, we also worked together to capture the robber. Since County Magistrate Jiang came to visit, we called him over."
Magistrate Jiang said: "That's it."
Guo Renjie said boldly: "We have prepared wine and food for Jiang Zhixian, let's talk while eating." Jiang Zhixian and Zhu Shuo walked forward. For some reason, when Zhu Shuo walked into the hall, Guo Renjie felt that Zhu Shuo was particularly displeased. Guo Renjie stopped in front of Zhu Shuo and said, "This time, we are here for a courtesy call from County Magistrate Jiang, and we only went back." County Magistrate Jiang. Who are you?"
Just as Jiang Zhixian was about to speak, Zhu Shuo said, "I am Jiang Zhixian's master, Zhu Shuo."
Guo Renjie said: "It turns out to be a young master. Then you can wait outside the hall. We have important matters to discuss with Magistrate Jiang."
Zhu Shuo bowed respectfully and said: "Gang Leader Guo, I am the master of Jiang Zhixian, so I only obey orders from Jiang Zhixian. If he asks me to wait outside the hall, I will naturally do it. But your order , forgive me for not being able to obey."
Guo Renjie said fiercely: "I tell you, this is the territory of my Yiyang Gang. If I tell you to stay, you can stay. If I tell you to get out, you have to get out!"
Zhu said with his head raised and his eyes open, looking at Guo Renjie, who was about half a head taller than himself and burly, he said righteously: "Everything in the world is king's land. Even though this is the territory of the Yiyang Gang, But this is also the boundary of Xinyang, the land of our Song Dynasty. The magistrate is ordered to manage Xinyang County, so all places in Xinyang County are under the jurisdiction of Magistrate Jiang, including your Yiyang Gang."
"You!" Guo Renjie choked at what Zhu said.
Zhu Shuo said to Magistrate Jiang: "Master Magistrate, please tell the students whether they should stay or leave."
County Magistrate Jiang came over and said: "Gang Leader Guo, Master Zhu is an upright man. Don't be offended. As the saying goes, one person is private and two people are public. I brought Master Zhu with me so that we can bear witness to each other to avoid cliques for personal gains and abuse of power." I'm suspicious of it." Then he glanced at Yamen Zhang and said with pretense of regret: "Oh, if I had known that Lao Zhang was here, I wouldn't have called Master Zhu. However, since this has already happened, let Master Zhu go alone. It’s really inappropriate outside the hall.”
"Yes, brother. It's just a matter of a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Guo Zixiong said.
"That's right, Gang Leader Guo, you've already come, so let Master Zhu stay with you. Maybe we will have a lot of ways to help each other in the future," Qian Feifei said.
Seeing this, Guo Renjie compromised and said, "Then just stay."
Everyone sat down one after another. Guo Renjie, as the host, picked up the wine and said to everyone: "Come on, come on, don't be polite, let's eat and drink well." Then he glanced at Zhu Shuo, thinking that he would drink Zhu Shuo for a while. Get drunk and make a fool of yourself.
As the banquet of the Yiyang Gang started, Li Yu also took advantage of the darkness to come to the corridor next to the Guo Mansion. After looking around for no one, he told Chen Dadong: "Brother Dadong, when we go in later, you You must, absolutely, listen to me, and you must not scream and run around. Do you understand?" After hearing this, Chen Dadong kept nodding.
Li Yu carried Chen Dadong on his back, and when he was about to jump in, Li Yu said again: "We're inside. Don't scream and run around. If you find any trace of San Niu, just pull on my clothes, you know?" Li Yu was already frightened by Chen Dadong's behavior during the day.
Chen Dadong yelled "Ahhh" twice, as if he was a little impatient. Li Yu jumped up and lay down on the wall, looking at the situation inside. There were not many people in the courtyard, only a few servants carrying lanterns were patrolling the courtyard at night. After Li Yu had a general understanding of the terrain in the courtyard, he jumped into the Guo Mansion while the servants were passing by. After all, Li Yu had never sneaked into someone else's house, so after landing, he walked behind the tree on the side, tiptoeing, trying not to make any noise, watching with his eyes, listening with his ears, and sensing the surroundings with his mind's eye. , be very careful. When he reached a big tree, he breathed a sigh of relief, put down Chen Dadong on his back, and said softly: "Brother Dadong, smell it."
Chen Dadong raised his head and smelled, but didn't seem to smell anything. I shook my head from side to side, but still didn't seem to gain anything. After a while, Chen Dadong seemed to smell something. Involuntarily, Chen Dadong got down on all fours and moved in one direction of Guo Mansion. Looking at Chen Dadong who was minding his own business, Li Yu quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother Dadong, give me the direction and I'll take you there. Just don't move around. I'm worried that you'll make too much noise and hurt people." Recruit them again."
Chen Dadong puffed out his face and closed his mouth tightly, seeming a little angry. Li Yu quickly said: "Brother Dadong, don't be angry, we are doing this all for the sake of Sanniu." Chen Dadong stretched out his hand and pointed to the building on the other side of the Guo Mansion. Li Yu carried Chen Dadong on his back again, used Qing Gong, and flew towards the building as lightly as possible. After arriving at the building, Li Yu stood in front of this gorgeous two-story building and couldn't help but sigh: red bricks and gold tile roof, with mythical beasts placed in the corners. Flowers grow on both sides, and the fragrance overflows. Red lights are hung everywhere, giving off an aura of wealth and nobility. There are dozens of rooms in a row, and the doors are inlaid with gold paint. Inside the deep walls of the palace, I don’t know if there are twins outside.
Li Yu's own family is already the number one chamber of commerce in the world, but the level of luxury in Yinlong Villa is not half as high as here. However, although there are many lights hanging here, fortunately none of them are lit. This made it easier for Li Yu to move. Chen Dadong seemed to smell something at this time, lying on the ground and moving little by little. He walked to the door of a room and pointed at the room. Although there was no bright spot in this room, Li Yu was worried that there was a scam in it, so he calmed down and dug a small hole in the window paper on the side. He looked inside and saw that it was empty. There seemed to be no one. Li Yu relaxed Heartbroken. Just when Li Yu was about to open the door, some small, intermittent sounds came. Li Yu put his ear against the door. The sound was not coming from this room. Li Yu didn't dare to neglect, and listened carefully to the source of the sound, which seemed to come from a room two rooms away. Li Yu pointed to the room to Chen Dadong, and then walked towards that room bit by bit. I still made a small hole in the window paper of that room, looked inside, and saw through the small hole that there was a person inside. The person was tied with a rope and lying on the ground. I watched him shaking his body constantly. Trying to break free from the rope. His mouth was tightly blocked, and he could only make whining sounds. Li Yu just heard the sound that was probably made by this person. The light in the room was dim, and Li Yu couldn't see clearly who the person was, but considering that the Guo Mansion even spared women, children, and the elderly, this person was probably an innocent person captured by them. Li Yu didn't want to care about him, but felt that he couldn't leave him alone, so he gently opened the door of this room.
The people in the room watched the door being opened and looked toward the door in panic. Due to the dim light, the man in the room couldn't see the other person's face clearly, only his full beard. Seeing this person walking towards him, the people in the room no longer moved, but looked at this person warily. After a while, something on all fours came in behind the man. The people in the room thought it was some kind of animal at first, but as the two people slowly approached, the people in the room saw something among the thing's disheveled hair. With a human face, people in the room couldn't help but tremble when they saw that person walking in such a weird way, wondering if this person wanted to turn themselves into that. So, he dodged backwards desperately, making a whining sound from his mouth. However, this does not stop the other party from walking towards him at all.
Li Yu walked over, pulled the thing out of the mouth of the person in the room, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
When the people in the room heard the words, they seemed to feel calmer. They took a few breaths and were about to speak. When they looked up, Chen Dadong's big grinning face appeared in front of the people in the room, scaring them. You have to step back suddenly.
"Brother Dadong, don't make trouble." Li Yu said.
Chen Dadong retreated, and Li Yu asked again: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The person in the room said: "My name is Jiang Hong, and I am the county government's chief catcher."
"Ah! Capture the head!" It didn't matter if he didn't say it, but Li Yu was shocked when he said it.
Jiang Hong said: "What's wrong?"
"Why did you, a head catcher, get caught here?" Li Yu asked.
Jiang Hong sighed and said awkwardly: "Oh, it's all caused by drinking. Brother, please help me untie the rope."
Facing Jiang Hong's request, Li Yu hesitated. After all, he was also a fugitive now. If he let the other party recognize him and then arrested him, wouldn't he be causing trouble for himself? However, Li Yu is also a kind-hearted person. When he sees someone being arrested, there is no reason not to save him. So he said: "I can save you, but you can't catch me." Li Yu planned to discuss it with Jiang Hong.
When Jiang Hong heard this, he said: "Are you a criminal? If you are a criminal, then I must bring you to justice!"
Li Yu said: "He is not considered a criminal, but now he has been wrongly accused and became a criminal."
Jiang Hongyi said sternly: "If you are wronged, then you follow me back to the Yamen, and I will find someone to help you find your innocence."
Li Yu said: "I have something important to do now and I can't leave with you."
