43. Not a good bird
took out the letter in his arms and raised it, Liu Qi said coldly: "I dispatched soldiers and horses from various counties to arrest the thieves according to Zhao Taishou's order, where is the person in charge, come out to see me!" ”
Hearing this, the county lieutenant of Wei stepped forward and waved away all the officers and soldiers to the side of the boat, leaned out half of his body and looked at Liu Qi for a long time, and said disdainfully: "Who are you, what position do you have?" ”
Liu Qi looked at the appearance of this Wei County Lieutenant and felt that this person was definitely not a good bird, with a short figure, a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and two mustaches, a pair of mouse eyes and a thief, and an arrogant look that made people extremely uncomfortable.
And where did Liu Qi receive such a contemptuous condescending inquiry, because of the special position in Jiangzhou, the generals around Zhao Zhen are relatively high, either Zhonglang General or Captain Du Lieutenant, these are equivalent to the deputy commander and chief of staff of a military region, and at the very least, they have to be at the level of division commander and regiment commander, they all respect themselves, and this small county public security director in front of him dares to be so presumptuous?
"Presumptuous, which part are you? Why crowd the waterways?! Liu Qi said angrily, he must suppress the other party in momentum, otherwise he will really have no way to take the other party as a civilian, if he is recognized, even if he unites with Gan Ning, he will not be the opponent of others.
On land, there are Gan Ning, Cheng Guan and others, Liu Qi still has the confidence that he can retreat even if he can't win, but now no matter how good his skills are on the boat, he can't show them, and the other party has a bow and crossbow in his hand!
It's a pity that the county lieutenant Wei was not fooled, squinted his mouse eyes and replied coldly: "This official is Wei Bin, the county lieutenant of the county, who found the traces of the murderer Gan Ning the day before yesterday, so he led the troops to capture this thief." ”
"This person is Gan Ning", Wei Bin pointed at Gan Ning with his hand, and then asked, "...... you haven't asked for advice yet?" ”
"Leave this matter to me, you don't have to ask, leave quickly and don't block the waterway!" Hmph, I'm afraid, this trick is a hundred trials and tried! Liu Qi was overjoyed when he saw Wei Bin's change of attitude.
"Uh, can you take out the Taishou Hand Oracle and call it for the next view?" Wei Bin said after a slight sigh, and his subordinates immediately put two long planks between the two boats.
The letter written by Zhao Zhen did say that if Liu Qi needed it, the county officials along the way should actively cooperate, but after all, it was only equivalent to a letter of introduction, which was very vague.
Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, if he didn't take it out immediately, the other party would definitely not give up the wanted criminal without any reason and turn his head away, so Liu Qiwei raised his head and walked arrogantly onto Wei Bin's boat, and raised the letter to Wei Bin without hesitation.
Wei Bin opened the silk book and read it, first he was furious, then he looked up to the sky and smiled, and then shouted: "Bold, who are you who dare to steal the name of Taishou to deceive!?" Isn't this murderer's accomplice? You wait to throw yourself into the net, save me the trouble of capturing Er, etc., right and so! Take it together, dare to resist arrest, and kill it! ”
"Whoa!"
Wei Bin's subordinates immediately opened their bows and arrows to aim at Liu Qi, Gan Ning and others, and stepped forward to take people.
With a loud sound, Cheng Guan and Gao Teng took out their long knives and pressed against Liu Qi tightly.
Liu Qi gasped, thinking about the possibility of Wei Bin making excuses to shirk or not admit the account, but he didn't expect this person to be so tough and turn his face directly, and he didn't take Zhao Zhen's Taishou Great Seal in his eyes at all.
This unattractive guy is a man!
"Be bold, I have already invited five hundred elite soldiers of the Chichuan Li family to follow behind me, and if you dare to act rashly, you will die without a corpse!" Liu Qi also broke out in a cold sweat in the face of the cluster of arrows that flashed with cold light, so he had to move out of Li Mao.
"Wait!" Wei Bin raised his hand to stop his subordinates and hurriedly looked back, but there were only scattered boats on the river, where was there any shadow of five hundred elite soldiers?
"Do you dare to cheat when you are dying?" Wei Bin was furious and was about to say something cruel, but his half-waved hand stopped abruptly.
There are many people in Yongning who can not take Taishou Zhao Zhen in their eyes, but no one is willing to confront Li Mao head-on, and Li Mao's toughness makes his opponents tremble when they stumble behind their backs.
Regardless of whether these people in front of him really had anything to do with Li Mao, Wei Bin didn't plan to embarrass them too much, he had noticed it when he had a verbal altercation with him a few days ago, just looking at the weapons these people were wearing and the horses on the boat, it could be seen that their identities were anything but unusual.
Although Wei Bin looks shabby, his ability is by no means mediocre, he can be an official for more than ten years, and it is not enough to rely on the backers behind him, so if the other party did not take the initiative to show hostility today, Wei Bin would not pay attention to these people who are following him.
"For Li Mao's sake, I will not cure the crime of embezzlement of official documents, and leave quickly!" Words can't be said to death, and the road can't be stopped, Wei Bin still left a step for the other party, there is no such person as this young man in front of him among the various intricate forces in Yongning County, and if he is from another county, hmph, he is performing his duties, even if he is the son of Liu Zhang, the governor of the state, he can't interfere with his official affairs with an irrelevant official letter.
In any case, it is also his own reason, even if Li Mao comes in person!
Wei Bin was anxious to capture Gan Ning and didn't want to have more troubles, although this matter was not very good, but he still decided to let these people go, he thought that this was already a big concession, even if the other party was really a member of the Li family, he would be able to be confident in the face of Li Mao in the future.
Who knew that Liu Qi didn't appreciate it, and sneered: "I still say the same thing, this person is handed over to me, you don't have to ask, if you want to use strong consequences, you will bear the consequences!" ”
"It's too much of a deception! Take it for me! Wei Bin's suppressed anger broke out instantly, he really couldn't stand the aggressiveness of this arrogant young man, first capture him, arrest Gan Ning and then think about how to deal with them, after all, he has ironclad evidence in hand, and it is difficult for Li Mao to take advantage of this matter.
Facing the opponent's absolute superiority in numbers and the threat of bows and crossbows, Cheng Guan and Gao Teng were caught around their necks by more than a dozen Xueliang swords without parrying a few times, Liu Qi was tied up and thrown at Wei Bin's feet, puzzled, this person was obviously extremely jealous of Li Mao, and he was indeed shaken just now, why did he suddenly turn his face?
If Liu Qi knew that Wei Bin and Gan Ning had a grudge against killing his father, he would definitely have to find other ways to rescue Gan Ning, and he would not risk his life if he said anything.
Wei Bin glanced at the three people who were tied into zongzi and snorted coldly, walked to the bow of the boat, waved at Gan Ning and the others, and shouted, "Take it!" ”
Several small boats suddenly shouted and scolded, Gan Ning sneered slightly, raised his arm, and suddenly quieted down.
"Put down your weapons, don't resist!" Gan Ning said in a deep voice.
"Xingba ......!" Guan Zhao was shocked, Gan Ning turned his head and shook his head at him, Guan Zhao had no choice but to throw the knife in his hand on the deck, and the rest of his subordinates had to throw down their weapons.
The officers and men all breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly rowed forward, approached, boarded the boat, collected their weapons, and tied up the prisoners.
When his subordinates escorted Gan Ning, who was firmly tied to the iron rope, to the boat, Wei Bin excitedly circled around Gan Ning, as if he was going to kill Gan Ning and plan where to start.
"Dog thief! When you killed my father, did you think that you would end up today, that you would be tortured in all kinds of ways if you fell into my hands, and then you would dig out your heart and liver to sacrifice my father's spirit in heaven! After speaking, Wei Bin laughed proudly.
Liu Qi immediately became anxious when he heard Wei Bin's vicious threat, and shouted: "Even if Gan Ning is guilty, he should be escorted back to the county government and handed over to the county order for interrogation. ”
It turns out that Wei Bin and Gan Ning have a grudge against their father, let alone move out of Zhao Zhen, even if the emperor comes, he may not be able to stop Wei Bin! Liu Qi didn't have time to regret his sloppiness, and still hoped that Wei Bin would take care of Zhao Zhen and Li Mao, and not kill Gan Ning and himself on impulse.
Hum! Wei Bin turned his head and glared at Liu Qi fiercely, he wanted to be angry with him, but he did have some scruples in his heart, now that Gan Ning has fallen into his hands, he can ignore it for the time being, and then slowly torture him after he goes back, now it's time to think about how to deal with these three people.
In a difficult situation, Gan Ning said proudly: "One person does things and one person does things, let my brothers and these three righteous people go, the grudge between you and me has nothing to do with others, and I will break it off with you alone!" ”
"Now you can't protect yourself and still worry about others? It's ridiculous, but don't worry, I won't let one go, and you won't be lonely in the underworld, hahaha......" Wei Bin pointed at Liu Qi and laughed arrogantly.
Gan Ning raised his sword eyebrows, and his voice became more and more cold: "Don't involve the innocent, I will spare you when we see you again in the future!" ”
"You thief! When you die, do you think you can leave Yongning with your life! What qualifications do you have to bargain with this officer! Wei Bin was completely enraged by Gan Ning's calm and usual look, and roared hoarsely, while rushing forward like crazy and waving his fist to teach Gan Ning a hard lesson, so that he knew who was the winner now.
At the moment when Wei Bin grabbed the clothes on Gan Ning's chest, a cold glint flashed in Gan Ning's eyes, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he violently shook his arms.
With a crisp click, the iron chain with the thickness of the little finger was broken so easily by Gan Ning!
Before Wei Bin and his guards could react, Gan Ning grabbed Wei Bin's neck and lifted him up in place like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the prisoner who had just been invincible was subdued by the prisoner who was captured with his hands like an adult teasing a child, and the officers and soldiers on the surrounding ships were suddenly shocked and at a loss for what to do.
Wei Bin only felt that his neck was clamped by an iron tong, and it was gradually tightened, and he couldn't shake his iron-like arm even if he struggled desperately.
I could feel that the energy in my body was rapidly draining, my eyes began to darken, and my consciousness was gradually blurred, and my subordinates were just shouting threats in vain at this time, but they didn't dare to do it, Wei Bin was desperate and gave up struggling.
Gan Ning walked calmly in front of the guards with Wei Bin in front of the guards, pulled out the short sword on Wei Bin's waist, cut the ropes on the three of them, threw Wei Bin on the deck, and pressed the sword against the back of his heart.
"The grace of the three righteous men who sacrificed their lives to save each other, Gan Ning is unforgettable!"
Gan Ning turned his head and bowed heavily to Liu Qi, although Liu Qi's intervention did not really help them, but caused him some trouble, but this affection Gan Ning understood, and he also had a friendship with this young man in his heart.
Liu Qi admired Gan Ning even more when he saw his might, and he also knew in his heart that he was really worried about the sky, and he almost helped, so he couldn't help but feel a fever on his face for Gan Ning's thanks, and he didn't even dare to say it.
