Three quarters of the unitary hour, the old city of Ningbo, the east gate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Several carriages came slowly and stopped at the city gate.

One of the lieutenants, who was in charge of guarding the city gates, came lazily with a dozen or so soldiers.

"Stop, where are you going so late?"

The curtain of a carriage in front of him opened, and a stout man came down. The man smiled at the captain and said, "Captain Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

When Captain Zhou saw that person, he immediately smiled pleasantly and said, "Yo, it's the master of the palace! I said, why are you going out of the city when you don't sleep at home with your daughter-in-law so late?"

The hall master that Zhou Xiaowei said was Wang Youliang, the hall master of the Jinsha Hall of the Haisha Gang.

According to the rules, although the imperial court allows the autonomy of martial arts, martial arts people must also abide by the laws of the imperial court to a certain extent. For example, when the whole city was under martial law, the imperial court had the right to search the carriages and even luggage of martial artists. If the martial arts people don't cooperate, it will be a broken rule, and the reason is on the side of the imperial court, and when the time comes, the imperial court will move that sect, and no sect will help. The reason is very simple, if the martial arts people are completely uncontrolled, it may become a refuge for robbers and even enemy spies, which is not good for the court and martial arts, so some of the powers of the imperial court, martial arts are also respected.

Facing Captain Zhou's question, Wang Youliang smiled very calmly, "What Captain Zhou said is yes, this winter, it's almost the New Year, who wants to go out if it's okay? ”

"Oh, what's the matter, it's so urgent. It's the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month today! Is the hall master planning to spend the New Year at home?"

"It doesn't hurt to talk to Brother Zhou, it's just a sum of cash, and I want to escort him to Dinghai. If it's fast, the New Year should be in time. By the way, why don't you open it and show it to Brother Zhou?"

Captain Zhou laughed and said, "It's still the hall master who understands me, I'm so curious, I can't sleep if I don't look at it." ”

"That's as it should be, as it should be. ”

Wang Youliang smiled and made a "please" gesture.

Captain Zhou took the two soldiers to the carriage behind, and the moment the two of them staggered, they glanced at each other, and there was a tacit understanding in their eyes.

Captain Zhou opened a few boxes, and sure enough, he saw a pile of white silver inside. After opening a few more boxes, it's still the same.

So he said, "Okay, so much silver makes Lao Tzu's heart itch, so I won't look at it." Brother Wang be careful on the road, don't let the robbers target him. ”

Wang Youliang said, "The Shahai Gang still has a bit of thin noodles here, so Captain Zhou can rest assured." With that, he took out two ingots of silver from his bosom and said, "It's so cold, please get some warm wine to warm your body." ”

Captain Zhou unceremoniously took the silver and said with a smile, "Brother Wang is polite, let's leave quickly, don't delay the hour." ”

"Okay, then I'll say goodbye first, and find Brother Zhou to drink another day. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”

After some politeness, Wang Youliang went out of the city with about twenty men and seven or eight carriages.

After leaving the city, after walking for more than ten miles, I came to a small forest.

Ahead, two people came slowly.

Wang Youliang made a gesture to stop the horse team.

The two walked up to Wang Youliang, and one of the tall and thin men said, "Nothing went wrong, right?"

Wang Youliang arched his hand at the man and said, "Deputy Gang Leader Li, rest assured, the journey has been smooth." ”

The man nodded and said, "Let the people out." ”

Wang Youliang asked a few of his subordinates to carry a large box from a carriage, and carefully pried open the box, and sure enough, one person came out of it.

This man looks eighteen or nineteen years old, looks white and tender, wears silk and satin, and looks like the son of a rich family. It's just that this noble son's face is very haggard and he looks a little embarrassed.

The man known as "Deputy Gang Leader Li" stepped forward and hugged his fists at him, "Zhao Gongzi, I have wronged you." ”

Qin Shuhuai and Zhao Quyou hid in a tree a few zhang away, and they could hear it clearly. The two of them did a good job, so they followed them all the way and were not discovered by Wang Youliang and others. And the old way they are poorer, in order to avoid being discovered, so they follow a few hundred meters behind.

Qin Shuhuai said in his heart, it seems that Zhao Gongzi is Zhao Xinian.

He guessed correctly, this "Zhao Gongzi" is Zhao Xinian. And that deputy gang leader Li is Li Shounian, the deputy gang leader of the Haisha Gang.

Zhao Xinian arched his hand at Li Shounian and Wang Youliang, and said, "Thank you for the rescue, I Zhao Xinian will definitely remember the grace of saving my life." ”

Li Shounian smiled faintly and said, "Zhao Gongzi is serious. You are a good friend of our Haisha Gang, and we should lend a helping hand when a good friend is in trouble. In addition, this is also the meaning of the prefect Lee. Master Li asked me to bring you some coils, and I will give them to you later. ”

Zhao Xinian hurriedly excused himself and said, "No, no, no, there are still a few silver taels in my hand, I think it's enough." Lord Li took care of Zai Xia in every way, and this time he took such a strange risk in Zaixia, how could he accept him another silver tael?"

Li Shounian said, "Zhao Gongzi, you don't need to excuse yourself. I don't know when I will be able to return to the East Ying Kingdom, so I can bring more silver taels to strengthen my courage. Master Li has prepared some for you, and our helper has also prepared some for you, so you won't have to sleep on the streets when you get there. By the way, you have to remember that this side won't let you come back, so you must not come back. ”

Zhao Xinian's eyes flashed with tears, and he held Deputy Gang Leader Li's hand tightly, and said, "I know!"

Qin Shuhuai was extremely surprised when he heard this. If he can understand that the Haisha Gang wants to release Zhao Xinian, then the Ningbo Prefect helps the Haisha Gang let Zhao Xinian go, and he doesn't understand. Because the previous general signs showed that it was the people in the official mansion who wanted to destroy the Zhao family.

But why did the Ningbo prefect help Zhao Xinian?

Could it be that the prefect of Ningbo is not a member of the Donglin Party? Impossible, in these years, if anyone who is not a Donglin Party, except for that wonderful Wen Tiren, who else can be an official in peace and stability? And become such a big official as the prefect?

At this moment, I heard a long laugh from the forest.

"Zhao Xinian, Dongying is so far away, I don't think I should go!"

As soon as the words fell, a large number of people wearing flying fish suits suddenly appeared from the forest, and quickly surrounded these two dozen people.

Jinyiwei!

Rubbing the waves, both sides pulled out their weapons at the same time.

Whoosh, a black shadow crept in from a distance and gently landed in front of Li Shounian.

said coldly, "Li Shounian, what crime should you be guilty of harboring the imperial court criminals in the Haisha Gang?"

Li Shounian also sneered, "If you say that he is a Qin criminal, you are a Qin criminal? What crime did he commit, and who convicted him, can you tell me? Now that you Jinyiwei are not arresting corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but are arresting innocent people?"

The man laughed and said, "My lord said that he was a prisoner, and he was a prisoner." If you know each other, hurry up and hand him over, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. ”

Li Shounian looked around and saw that fifty or sixty people came from the other party, and they were all brocade guards, and their scalps were slightly numb. Jinyiwei is not comparable to officers and soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to that of officers and soldiers, nor is it comparable to these brothers in their own gang.

Zhao Xinian was dripping with cold sweat, his face was as white as paper, and he dragged Wang Youliang's sleeve stubbornly, and at the same time looked at Li Shounian with eyes asking for help.

Although Li Shounian knew that there was a lot of luck today, he could only take out his weapon and prepare for a battle. As a deputy gang leader, he will never allow people to be lost in his own hands.

At this moment, I heard another long howl in the night sky.

"Isn't the lord of your Jinyi Wei Luo Yangxing? When did Luo Yangxing become so awesome that he could replace the emperor and make a mistake?"
