The Jade-faced Enchantress sets up fragrant bait to catch the golden turtle, preparing to capture Fu Tianpeng and others in one fell swoop. That night, fires shot into the sky everywhere in Pingjiang Fucheng, and shouts came one after another. The people closed their doors tightly and hid in their homes and did not dare to come out.
They vaguely heard this sentence from a series of noises outside: "Those two must have left the city. We divided into four teams and went out from the four city gates to search for their traces along the way."
Although the noisy sound gradually faded away from the ears of the people, they were no longer sleepy. Everyone spent the long night with curiosity and anxiety. The next morning, when the sun rises and the roosters sing three times, the quiet market returns to the hustle and bustle of yesterday.
At this time, the roadside tea shed is like the central belt of news, constantly spreading ripples of news outward. Some were in groups, some were two abreast, enjoying tea and whispering about what happened last night.
A tea guest held a bowl of tea in his hand, took a sip, and then said: "Hey, have you heard? It turns out that the important prisoners detained in the Yamen Prison of Pingjiang Prefecture were released by Feng Zheng, the number one arrester in the Yamen."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tea guest opposite took over and said: "Everyone, tell me, Capt. Feng is willing to take extraordinary risks to release prisoners privately. What is he thinking?" This question aroused the attention of everyone present. As everyone speculated, a tea guest at the tea table on the left participated in the discussion with great interest. He said with saliva flying from his mouth: "Isn't this an obvious thing? That Capt. Feng must have taken advantage of the prisoner and was so stupid that he did such a stupid thing."
The tea guest's words happened to attract the attention of a fish seller who was passing by. He put the fish basket on the ground and walked up to argue with the tea guest.
The tea guest glanced at the fisherman with contempt, and told the fisherman in a tone that left no doubt that this was the case. The fish seller's face was full of anger, and he reminded the tea guest in a stern tone not to make baseless accusations. Where the thought came from, the tea guest actually retorted, he sneered: "I said fish seller, I said Feng Captou, what does that have to do with you? Could it be that you are his son? When you see someone calling you "I", you just Anxious."
When the fish seller heard this, his anger quickly burned in his chest. He yelled back: "Fart." Then, like an evil tiger pouncing on food, he struck at the tea guest with his fist. The tea guest who caused the trouble was no more than five feet tall and as thin as a monkey. The fish seller is nine feet tall and has strong arms. Judging from the physical appearance of the two, their strength is already comparable. The tea guest randomly grabbed the tea cakes and tea bowls on the table and threw them out. For a moment, cakes were flying everywhere and camellias were flying. The tea guests present fled the tea shed one after another and hid far away to watch the fire from the other side.
In the eyes of everyone, live "fighting" that is rarely encountered is far more beautiful than those old-fashioned folk arts. Therefore, they whistled from time to time to stimulate the emotions of the fish seller and tea customers. However, with the arrival of a group of public servants, the "fighting scene" came to an abrupt end.
"Stop it all." The leading fisherman gave an order, and the fish seller and the tea customer stopped fighting. The detective tilted his head and walked around the two of them with his hands clasped behind his back. He glanced at the tea guest with his small mouse eyes, and then glanced at the fish seller. Then he asked in a voice like a broken bowl: "What's going on? Why did you fight in public?"
The tea guest told the policeman: "I was just talking about what happened last night. Unexpectedly, when the fish seller heard that I told Mr. Feng what was wrong with him, he got angry and started beating people." After listening to the tea guest's story, Finally, the catcher turned his face and stared at the fish seller with sharp eyes. Then he said with a snort of contempt: "Li Datian, I am just drinking tea and chatting, but what's bothering you? It's like eating melon seeds and eating bugs."
When Li Datian saw that the person asking the question was He Captou, he couldn't help but feel resentful in his heart. This leader He is called He Gui, and he is a sworn enemy of Feng Zheng. In order to advance further in the public sector, the two often secretly competed with each other. However, He Captou does not follow the right path and only takes a sideways approach. What kind of things like flattering, flattering, drinking wine, and visiting gambling houses? There is no real ability, and there are a lot of rags.
Wu Xi originally wanted to promote him, but he couldn't support the wall with mud. Once he got drunk in Firework Alley, causing a gangster to escape. After the dereliction of duty incident, the court was furious. Wu Xi relied on his grandfather Wu Lin's military exploits to retain his official position, but lost the opportunity to enter Beijing. For this reason, he was angry and promoted Feng Zheng to Pingjiang's number one catcher.
With the old grievances still fresh in his mind, Li Datian thought to himself: "This Capt. He will definitely take revenge for personal gain. Today I have something in his hands. How can I deal with Mr. He?" However, Capt. He did not As Li Datian suspected, he was not brought to justice and sent to prison. He Gui summoned a public servant and asked him to supervise Li Datian and the tea guest to sign a pledge not to cause trouble, and then let the two go.
He Gui then dispersed the onlookers and restored the business order of the tea shed. When Li Datian saw that He Gui let him go, his dislike for him disappeared a lot. He Captou was about to leave with his official business. Before leaving, he told Li Datian to go home as soon as possible and not to stay outside. Li Datian already knew that Feng Zheng was in jail, and he was very worried at the moment.
Therefore, Li DaTian asked He Gui to take him to visit the prison. He Gui nodded in agreement, and Li Datian handed the fish basket to He Gui and said to him: "He Captou, please take these fresh food." He Gui waved his hand to Li Datian and said to him: "These You'd better take this thing home and eat it yourself." After that, he led the way and led Li Datian straight to the Pingjiang government office.
After He Gui brought Li DaTian to the prison, he asked the prison boss to let Li DaTian in to visit Feng Zheng. After Feng Zheng saw Li Datian, uncontrollable joy appeared on his resolute face. Li Datian was in tears at this moment and shouted: "Brother Feng." Feng Zheng immediately glanced at him, and the two remained silent.
Seeing this, He Gui locked the cell door with his cell head and went outside. In fact, He Gui did not go far. He quietly moved a wall tile from a nearby cell, then put his ear against the wall to listen. Feng Zheng deliberately coughed a few times, then he put his head in front of the iron shackles and lowered his voice and told Li Datian that he must give Xiao Jianqiu's snake-shaped dart and the secret message to Fu Tianpeng. Then Feng Zheng told the location where the dart was hidden, and Handed the list of people Wu Xi would contact to Li Datian.
Li Datian stuffed the list into the fish maw and shook the fish basket. Feng Zheng told Li Datian that the secret letter was of great importance and must be kept properly. Li Datian nodded, and Feng Zheng raised his head and looked at the dark prison. He said to Li Datian: "Brother, Wu Xi will definitely use me to trap Fu Shaoxia and the others. So I decided to sacrifice my life. If anything happens to me, I will tell Fu Shaoxia and lure the snake out of the hole."
Li Datian held Feng Zheng's hand tightly, tears falling down. He choked and said: "Brother Feng, don't worry. I will never let that evil thief Wu Xi harm you easily. When I see Fu Shaoxia, I will discuss with him a good plan to rescue you."
After listening to Li Datian's words, Feng Zheng said categorically: "Brother, you are so confused. As long as I stay in the prison for one more day, Fu Shaoxia will definitely try his best to rescue me. But Wu Xi will only wait for them to fall into the trap. Only Only by eradicating the root cause and eliminating future troubles can he implement his plan with peace of mind, do you understand this?"
Li Datian nodded repeatedly. He told Feng Zheng that of course he understood his good intentions, but it was not worth it for a hero like him to die in a prison like this. Feng Zheng looked outside with firm eyes, and he repeatedly recited Sima Qian's famous saying: "Everyone is destined to die. It may be as light as a feather, or as heavy as Mount Tai."
At this moment, Li Datian turned around and said goodbye to Feng Zheng. Feng Zheng reminded him to be careful of Wu Xi sending people to follow him in order to expose Fu Shaoxia's whereabouts. Li DaTian nodded in agreement, and Feng Zheng sprinkled a little green phosphorus powder hidden between his fingers on Li DaTian's palm. He told Li DaTian that he could place the green phosphorus powder among the grass. If someone follows him, the green phosphorus powder will be glow.
After Li Datian collected the green phosphorus powder, he said goodbye to Feng Zheng and left Tianlao. The arrester, He Gui, ordered the cell leader to open the cell door and let him out. Although Li Datian didn't notice anyone following him when he came out, he knew that Feng was a thoughtful person, so he reminded himself to be more careful, which must have deep meaning. Therefore, just to be on the safe side, I deliberately walked around the small lake and waited for the opportunity to sprinkle green phosphorus powder on the passing grass.
After crouching in the thick grass in front for a while, he saw the grass behind him light up from time to time. Li DaTian knew that Wu Xi had sent people to follow him. He quickened his pace and ran to the edge of the small lake. Suddenly, with a "plop", Li DaTian fell into the lake.
Behind him, He Gui led Yang Biao and Ma Jin to the lake quickly. He Gui stared blankly at the vast lake and cursed at Yang Biao and Ma Jin: "It's because you two idiots were careless and were discovered by Li Datian." . It’s okay now. The person we were tracking threw into the lake. We can only go back and apologize to Mr. Wu.”
After the three people left, Li Datian followed Feng Zheng's instructions in prison and handed the snake-shaped dart and secret letter into Fu Tianpeng's hands. Li Datian said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Fu, in order to prevent you from being trapped by Wu Xi, Brother Feng decided to sacrifice his life for justice. When he made the decision, let me tell you something to lure the snake out of its hole."
Fu Tianpeng looked at the secret list letter carefully and handed it to Zhao Xueqing. Zhao Xueqing frowned like a moon and thought carefully about Feng Zheng's words. After a while, she said to Fu Tianpeng: "Brother Tianpeng, Feng Shaotou's intention of luring the snake out of its hole must be for us to contact the Li brothers, and then plan to make Wu Xi show signs of rebellion, so that the imperial court can send troops to crusade."
Zhao Xueqing's words made sense. Fu Tianpeng put the secret letter away and then headed towards Li Mansion with Zhao Xueqing. At this time, Li Datian asked Fu Tianpeng what he needed to do on his own. Fu Tianpeng asked Li Datian to wait for an opportunity to sneak into Wu Xi's lotus pond with his master of water properties. Wu Xi's lotus pond is connected to Jinji Lake. If Wu Xi escapes by water, people will be sent to drill through his boat.
Li Datian followed the plan, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing also used Qinggong and quickly arrived at Li's house. After knocking on the door of the mansion, the general of the Li family saw two swordsmen, a man and a woman, standing in front of them. The man was handsome and elegant, and the woman was beautiful and moving. After taking a closer look at the two of them, the general felt that they had a heroic spirit, so he felt very good about them. Next, Fu Tianpeng clasped his fists and saluted forward: "General, please tell me, General Li, that Fu Tianpeng, a young man in the world, has admired the general's reputation for a long time and hopes to meet him."
Seeing Fu Tianpeng's intelligence and elegant conversation, the general asked, "May I ask, young hero, who is your respected father?" After Fu Tianpeng told the truth, a look of surprise appeared on the general's face. After a while, he smiled broadly and invited Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing in. It is loyalty that preserves loyalty and loyalty, and the reputation of a hero will be passed down through the ages. Everyone in the Li family knew Fu Cha's reputation, and everyone in the Li family felt extremely happy to have the honor of meeting Zhongliang's descendant.
