The perseverant Ding Xiaowu squatted in the distance for another afternoon, observing the things of the Yiyang Gang. Night was about to fall, and just when Ding Xiaowu was about to leave, a slender figure appeared in front of the Yiyang Gang. Ding Xiaowu looked from a distance and saw the man wearing black tights, holding a long sword in his hand, and wearing a bamboo hat on his head. The dark gauze curtain hanging on the bamboo hat made it impossible for Ding Xiaowu to see clearly. Characteristics of the human face. But what is certain is that it is a woman. After a brief chat with the gang members outside the Yiyang Gang, she walked into the Yiyang Gang. Ding Xiaowu felt that he should report this situation to Magistrate Jiang, so he got up and walked towards the county government office, thinking about the woman who visited the Yiyang Gang while walking. After thinking about it, Ding Xiaowu thought of another thing, so he quickened his pace and ran to the county government office.
After arriving at the gate of the county government office, Ding Xiaowu saw that the gatekeeper was Xiao Zhou, a government servant. Because Xiao Zhou and Ding Xiaowu were about the same age, they usually got along very well. Ding Xiaowu hurriedly ran over and asked Xiao Zhou, "Sir, are you at the county office?"
Xiao Zhou recognized Ding Xiaowu, saw him in a hurry, and asked, "What's wrong? What can I do for you?"
Ding Xiaowu said anxiously: "I have something important to report! Take me to see the adults quickly!"
Xiao Zhou was frightened by Ding Xiaowu's appearance, and kept saying, "My lord should be in the study."
After hearing this, Ding Xiaowu immediately ran towards the study room where Jiang Zhixian worked. In the study room, Jiang Zhixian and Zhu Shuo were sorting out the information provided by the robbers today. Ding Xiaowu knocked on the door and saw: "Sir, Open the door quickly! I have something important to report."
Zhu said he heard Ding Xiaowu's voice, stood up and opened the door. Ding Xiaowu walked into the room, saluted Jiang Zhixian, and said: "Sir, a mysterious woman just went to the Yiyang Gang. "
Jiang Zhixian said: "The Yiyang Gang is a Jianghu gang, so it's normal for someone to come."
Ding Xiaowu said: "I didn't take it seriously at first. But when I saw that person, I remembered another thing. About a year ago, before the previous magistrate was killed, I was on patrol. I saw that woman when I was on the street. After the death of the magistrate, I stopped seeing her."
Magistrate Jiang looked solemn and said, "You suspect that the magistrate's death is related to this woman."
Ding Xiaowu nodded and said, "I am also a martial arts practitioner. As soon as I saw that woman's figure, I knew she was no ordinary woman."
Zhu said: "I checked the files and found that the magistrate Ren was hit on the back of the head with a blunt object. Was the woman's weapon a blunt instrument?"
Ding Xiaowu said: "No. It's a long sword. The hilt is gray-black and there are three red gems on the tail. The whole hilt looks like, like, yes! Just like the kind of horse that grows on the trees in our village. Same thing."
Jiang Zhixian frowned and said: "The hilt of the sword looks like a cicada? I know that many years ago, there was a man named Wang Jien. He had four killers, and one of them used a sword named Chanyi. The handle is shaped like a cicada's head. Rumor has it that the sword is as thin as a cicada's wing. If it scratches the skin, it will cut off the tendons in the flesh, but it will not leave any scars on the flesh."
Zhu said: "If there is such a weapon, then the deceased magistrate may not have died from a blunt object."
Jiang Zhixian sighed with emotion: "It's a pity that the magistrate's body has been taken away and buried by his family, otherwise we can find the answer through autopsy." Jiang Zhixian said to Ding Xiaowu: "Xiaowu, it's late . You should go back and rest early. You don’t have to go to the Yiyang Gang to monitor you tomorrow. You can return to the county government as a servant. "
After hearing this, Ding Xiaowu was very happy and said: "Okay! Thank you Master Jiang! Then should I still follow Lao Zhang?"
Jiang Zhixian said: "Well, you should follow Lao Zhang, and I will appoint him as the head catcher tomorrow. We have now received news that the Yiyang Gang may be secretly manufacturing fake tea, and Lao Zhang is very close to the Yiyang Gang. You just Under his command, you must always keep an eye on him to see if you can find any clues?"
Ding Xiaowu said: "Okay." Then he thought about it and asked, "Old Zhang is the catcher, what about Jiang the catcher?"
Jiang Zhixian said: "Let him calm down first. Xiaowu, go back and rest. Remember to report back to the county government office tomorrow."
Ding Xiaowu responded: "Okay. Then I'll go back first. By the way, Magistrate Jiang, it's still the same thing I talked about today. I think that woman is not simple. You and Master Zhu must be careful recently and try not to go around. A deserted place.”
Jiang Zhixian nodded, and after watching Ding Xiaowu leave, he continued to handle official business with Zhu Yao.
After Li Yu came out of Hua Feng's room, he wanted to go to his master to discuss whether he could help him. However, his master was not found in the county government office. After asking someone, he learned that the handyman Lao Yang had gone back. Li Yu was already angry, but when he saw that his master had left first, he complained: "Master, why didn't you wait for me before leaving?" Somehow, he wandered to the backyard of the county government office alone and saw a piece of land in the backyard. There was a person sitting on the bluestone. It was dark at night and he couldn't see the person's face clearly. Li Yu walked over curiously.
"Who?" Jiang Hong noticed someone approaching and asked vigilantly.
Li Yu recognized Jiang Hong's voice and said hello: "Isn't this Jiang Captou? Why are you here alone?"
Jiang Hong said coldly: "Don't call me a head catcher. I am no longer a head catcher."
Li Yu replied lightly: "Oh."
When Li Yu walked to Jiang Hong, Jiang Hong saw Li Yu's face clearly and said with some disdain: "Is it you?"
Li Yu said: "What? Is this your attitude when you meet your benefactor?"
Jiang Hong was not angry and said, "Why are you my benefactor?"
Li Yu changed his voice and said, "What? Forgot? But Brother Dadong and I rescued you from that room!"
Jiang Hong was shocked when he heard this familiar voice and said, "It's really you!"
Li Yu said: "I'm in a bad mood now and want to find someone to fight!"
"Okay! I'll accompany you!" Jiang Hong said without thinking. Jiang Hong was in a very depressed mood today. He had been practicing his marksmanship all afternoon in the backyard alone. However, he was still exhausted and worried about how to solve his troubles. At this time, Jiang Hong also wanted to find someone to fight with to change his mood.
The two immediately got into a stance and started fighting. Because Li Yu didn't have a weapon, the two fought with bare hands. Jiang Hong was older than Li Yu, so he was naturally stronger than Li Yu. Relying on his own advantages, he used all his strength to attack Li Yu with great momentum. Li Yu stood ready and seriously resisted Jiang Hong's attack, waving his fists to fight Jiang Hong. At this time, Li Yu was in the same depressed mood as Jiang Hong. There were many things he wanted to do, but he couldn't. I asked for help, but no one cared about me. The angry two people spared no effort to attack each other under the moonlight. The sound of humming was played in the deserted backyard, and both of them seemed to be venting their anguish. After about thirty moves, both of them punched each other in the face! The two people immediately stopped moving and asked in unison: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." They both said at the same time again. After a hearty battle, both of them seemed to be in a much better mood. Li Yu said: "Let's take a rest! We will continue later!"
Jiang Honghao said cheerfully: "Okay! I haven't had such a fun fight with someone for a long time! Well, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?" Jiang Hong then realized that he didn't know the other person's name yet.
"My name is Li Yu." Li Yu replied.
"My name is Jiang Hong. Hello, Mr. Li, you swear that Jiang Meng's martial arts are really amazing! I really admire you for having such skill at your age." Jiang Hong praised Li Yu.
"I am not a disciple of Jiangmen Alliance." Li Yu explained.
"What? You're not a disciple of the Oath Jiang League? Didn't you come with Deputy Leader Hua?" Because Jiang Zhixian had lifted the arrest of Li Yu, saying that Li Yu was deliberately sent by the Oath Jiang League to break into the robbers. As an internal spy, Jiang Hong thought that Li Yu was a disciple of the Jiangxi Alliance.
Li Yu realized that he seemed to have let something slip, and quickly explained: "I came with Deputy Leader Hua, but I am not a disciple of Jiang Jiang Alliance."
Jiang Hong said indifferently: "Whether you are a disciple of Jiangmen League or not, your skills are indeed good. Moreover, I remember that when you rescued the robber at the county government office, you seemed to have burst out. A strong internal force came out, and then it was like a different person."
Li Yu chuckled and said, "That's one of my family's techniques."
Jiang Hong said: "Family martial arts? No wonder, if you had used that move just now, I probably wouldn't be your opponent."
Li Yu said: "This is not necessarily the case. I have fought with you before. Your best thing is probably your marksmanship."
Jiang Hong looked at the pear gun leaning against the bluestone and said: "I have learned marksmanship from my master since I was a child. I thought I could stand alone. I just thought about building a career and letting others respect me. But I never thought about being eager for success. I followed other people's rules and was captured by others. So now, because of my own recklessness, my uncle, who values me most, has lost confidence in me and dismissed me as the head catcher." Jiang Hong began to reflect on himself 's fault.
Li Yu consoled him: "You are already doing well. Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. Besides, when it comes to recklessness, unlike me, I believe in other people's words too easily and end up harming innocent people."
Jiang Hong asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Li Yu told Jiang Hong about Zhang Haiwei, and Jiang Hong said angrily: "This Haiwei is really nothing. He actually betrayed his friends to get away with it, and threatened you with innocent people to make you hand over your Secrets of home.”
Li Yu sighed: "People's hearts are evil. Once this incident is over, no one will be able to help and nothing will be done. On the contrary, he will be the safest."
Jiang Hong said: "Li Shaoxia, this is not right. Kindness is our own choice, but if others take advantage of our kindness, it is other people's evil. I think we should still help those in need and help them get out of trouble. Advise them to change their ways and do good deeds. Even if they are misunderstood, they will have no regrets. There is no saying in a poem, but if you know how to do good deeds, don’t ask about the future. Now, I also think about it, even if I am no longer a head catcher, I am just a head hunter. As an ordinary government servant, I must also fulfill my responsibilities and serve the country and the people."
Li Yu murmured: "But if you know how to do good things, don't ask about your future." Li Yu made up his mind and said to Jiang Hong: "Jiang Captou, would you like to go to Xiaolin Town with me to find someone."
