This foot down, not to mention weighing as a thousand pounds, also made him lose the ability to resist in an instant. Even he, the leader, was knocked to the ground in an instant, so you can imagine which of the other brothers would have any good fruit to eat?

Leng Feng made a move, and he originally had a careful plan to do it, and he met some guys who underestimated the enemy, so where would they be polite, so they naturally greeted him with a good meal.

Bursts of sticks fell, if they didn't have the intention to kill, I'm afraid that the more than 20 people who came here would have to be all confessed here.

It was about half a pillar of incense later, and the unilateral beating slowly stopped, seeing that Niu Zhi and the others had already been scarred one by one, and they no longer had the high-spirited appearance they had before.

"Come on, tie everyone up, but if someone doesn't accept it, just serve with sticks." Yang Wu stood in the crowd, his voice smug in his voice. This time he was not impulsive, the tiger head could say, this was the young master's order.

Even if you get an order, if you don't move your fist well at this time, won't you live up to the task given by the tiger head and this God-given opportunity?

With an order, the cold fronts took out the ropes that had been prepared long ago from their backs and started work. It's just that the expected resistance didn't happen, maybe they were really scared, since ancient times, only people and soldiers caught thieves, where are there thieves who catch soldiers? And they just ran into it, how can anyone who doesn't have a long brain and dares to shout and scream?

Soon, the street, which had been noisy for a while, became quiet again. If someone passed by here at this time, they would not have thought that dozens of officials had been violently beaten here just now.

Yang Wu and the others were still wide-eyed, waiting for the "enemy" to come, according to their thoughts, the more than 20 officials sent out suddenly disappeared, no matter what, it would also cause a sensation, and even because of this, it was reasonable for the Ming army near Hangzhou to make some moves.

It's a pity that the night passed, and when the sky began to light up to herald the arrival of a new day, there was still no movement, which made Yang Wu really disappointed.

Besides, Qi Mansion, Qi Bushen's mansion, early in the morning, he was still sleeping with his concubine in his arms, and suddenly the housekeeper's voice shouted outside, "Master, it's not good!" Oh no, sir. ”

"What's going on?" Qi Bushen, who was awakened from his dream, got up from the bed with a displeased face, casually put on a piece of clothing and opened the bedroom door, and then scolded the housekeeper who was shouting outside. "Master, it's okay, but you, disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, what do you want to do? Tell you, if you don't tell me a reason, this official can't spare you today..."

"Master, it's not good, Niu Zhi didn't come back all night, and I don't know where they went? It can't be killed by those people. The housekeeper didn't listen to what Qi Bushen was going to say at all, but said with a panicked face.

Last night, he came back to sleep after arranging Niu Zhi's errand. It wasn't the first time he had done an errand like this, he just had to give orders and get up in the morning to see the results. But when he went to the government office in the morning, he learned that Niu Zhi and more than 20 other people seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they had disappeared. The officials who stayed behind thought that the cattle were doing something important and needed to go to a far place, so they didn't see anyone and didn't report to them all night.

When the housekeeper learned the news, he immediately panicked. The Chang family's courtyard is in the city of Hangzhou, and it is not far from the government, and it won't take half an hour at most, so how can it not come back overnight?

His instinct told him that something must have happened. At that moment, he even ran and crawled back to Qi Mansion and woke up the master. The original Qi Bushen was still angry, but after listening to the housekeeper's words, the whole thing was stunned like a thunderbolt, until a few breaths passed, and then he reacted, exclaiming loudly, "How is this possible, how is it possible." ”

"Master, it's true, I guess those people are bold. Master, it's been a night, and no one knows what will happen, otherwise let's report to the police. The frightened, incoherent butler stood there, trembling a little, and offered his own suggestion.

"Reporter? Bastard, the master is the official. Qi Bushen, who was angry with this sentence, couldn't help but scold again.

"No, no! Master, the small one is to report to Hangzhou Wei and let them send troops into the city, maybe only if they appear, can they suppress those bold criminals. The housekeeper realized that he had made a mistake, and after correcting it, he hurriedly said.

After this reminder, Qi Bushen's originally flustered expression also flashed with joy, but then he shook his head again, "No! No way. It's a big deal, and it still needs to be investigated first, and if it's a misunderstanding, it's a big joke. ”

Once the Hangzhou Wei is alarmed and the army is used, the matter will inevitably be reported to Nanjing, which really alarms the emperor and the imperial court, and there is not much room for things to turn around. Qi Bushen shook his head, but decided to figure things out first.

The so-called figuring it out, the matter naturally fell to the butler again. For this task, the housekeeper naturally had a headache, but even if it was said by the master, of course he didn't dare to shirk, and after agreeing, he rushed to the mansion in a hurry.

After coming to the palace again, the housekeeper ordered twenty more officials, and four catchers who had learned martial arts, so they came straight to the Chang family's courtyard. This time it was broad daylight, and he didn't believe that anyone dared to do anything to him? Of course, it wasn't that he wasn't unprepared, he left a message at the government when he left, that is, if he didn't come back for an hour, then he would notify the lord and send troops to save people.

Being prepared does not guarantee that you will not be afraid, and I still came to the Changjia Courtyard with some trepidation. Unexpectedly, the gate was already open, as if he knew that someone would come, and when he saw the team he led from a distance, a man with a smile on his face greeted him. "But I don't know who he is? Please report it as well. ”

The other party was so polite, and the housekeeper was not easy to rush forward, so he clenched his fists and said with the idea of coming and not being rude: "I am the housekeeper of the prefect of Hangzhou, surnamed Wu..."

"Butler?" The person facing him didn't wait for the words to finish, he already shook his head, and then said: "With all due respect, this matter is not something that you can carry as a housekeeper, so you better go back and ask your master to come over in person." ”

After speaking, the person who greeted the guest turned around and left, and it could be seen that he seemed to be a little displeased. Steward Wu knew that his identity was still a little low, but even if he came, he couldn't ask anything clearly, so he rushed to the other party's departing back and shouted, "Hey, Niu Zhi, are they in your hands?" What happened to them? ”

"Niu Zhi? Hehe, you mean the man who was beaten into a pig's head, if you want to know what happened to him, let your master come in person. The man didn't even look back, his figure faded away, and after returning to the courtyard, he closed the door.

The man is Yang Wu, the sixth young master ordered him to greet him outside the door, originally thought that it would be the prefect of Hangzhou, if the other party is sensible, it will not be a big deal. But he is just a housekeeper, and under the unequal identity, many things naturally cannot be discussed.

Finally got the news of Niu Zhi and them, and after confirming that it was the other party, the housekeeper turned around and left, his face was no longer the nervous and scared look just now, but his face was full of anger, and he dared to privately detain the official, just by virtue of this, the other party was dead!

An hour and a half later, the Hangzhou guards, stationed nearby, moved.

Led by 200 cavalry and followed by 500 infantry, the brigade entered Hangzhou from Nancheng, galloping all the way through the streets, attracting bursts of chickens and dogs.

Hangzhou Wei commanded Tong Qiao, with a total of 5,600 people and 5,000 households. The first 1,000 households have 1,120 people, and 100 households have 100 households, with 112 people per 100 households. He is usually responsible for the safety of the vicinity of Hangzhou.

They say they are responsible for safety, but in fact there are not many things that can really get them to do it. Unless an enemy invades from the sea, most of the time it will be a mess. This time, he suddenly received a request from the prefect Qi Bushen, saying that a group of gangsters had appeared in the city, and they actually detained more than 20 officials sent by them privately, and it seemed that they had resorted to tricks.

When the news first came, Tong Qiao hadn't heard it clearly. Of course, more still can't believe it, this is the world of the Ming Dynasty, and the official messenger represents the image of the country, how can anyone dare to attack them? Aren't you afraid of criminal law? Or is it that the status of the person is extremely high, and he can do things without scruples.

But the next news made Tong Qiao interrupt such thoughts. said that the gang of gangsters lived in the courtyard of the Chang family, a wealthy businessman in the south, and this alone made him feel relieved.

Again, the status of merchants was still very low at that time. If he really has status, how can he be willing to live in the merchant's courtyard? That's just going to be worth it. Even if he is a person with no power, Tong Qiao doesn't mind picking a soft persimmon and pinching it, it just so happens that the brothers haven't fished out for a long time, this time it's an opportunity, get it right, it's a big investment. In other words, it is a Chang family, and I heard that the rich rival the country.

In this way, a group of 700 Ming troops entered the city in a mighty way, where there was already a government officer waiting to guide the way, and then a group of people came to the Changjia courtyard outside, surrounded here.

"The front and back doors are watched, no one is allowed to slip away, and after a while, the general will give an order, everyone just rush forward, if anyone dares to resist, swords and guns are beckoning." Riding on a horse, Tong Qiao, who is dressed in armor, can be described as majestic.

Under his command, the Chang family courtyard was soon surrounded by water. Then the two hundred Ming soldiers who were fully equipped with knives and guns bravely came to the main gate. They were in a column of ten, and every time they took a step forward, they would shout, not to mention that the voices were still very uniform, but there was some momentum.
