Chapter 20: Putting the blame on

"Come in!"

The chief arrester, Xing Ying, sat in the center of the hall, flanked on the left and right by four other arresters, including Bao Zhan.

After Cao Ming came in, he walked towards Xing Ying with the silver in his hands, "General Manager, this is the silver you won. I brought it to you."

Xing Ying nodded, and when Cao Ming came to his side, he took the silver.

"Chief Catcher, you have really good eyesight. All the brothers lost miserably, but you were the only one who won. My subordinates admired you greatly." Cao Ming said flatteringly.

"Master Yue is known as the 'Yue King of Hell'. He is vigorous and resolute in his work, and he often suppresses rebel bandits. How can he not have masters under his command?" Xing Ying said calmly: "Since Master Yue dares to say that he will be captured in a contest, he must be self-reliant.

If you don't have any confidence in your opponents, they won't be able to compete with Wu Liwei. How could they all be defeated in the first round?"

"The chief catcher is so wise!" Cao Ming flattered him quickly. Then he said with a smile: "Now Pan Fu is betting again on which two people can win the position of catcher. I don't know what the chief catcher's wisdom is.

, the villain will also take advantage of it."

Xing Ying didn't answer immediately. He glanced around and said, "What do you think?"

Bao Zhan first clasped his fists and said: "The chief arrester, my subordinates believe that Li Zhong must be the one who defeated Zheng Shisan. Zheng Shisan is my subordinate. I know his skills well, and I am afraid he is still above me.

Looking at the six doors, except for the chief catcher, no one should be his opponent anymore."

Zhu Po also clasped his fists and said, "Bao Zhan is right. I also know Zheng Shisan's strength. If Li Zhong can beat him this time, he obviously belongs to the position of catching the head. It's just another position. It's hard to say now.

, Wu Jiuteng and Wang Yuanhua’s kung fu is slightly inferior to Zheng Shisan’s, but they should not be inferior to that Jin Chan. No matter who fights against Jin Chan, they will have to fight, and the variables are huge.”

Zuo Sha and Shi Keng's opinions are similar to those of them. Apart from Li Zhong, it's really hard to say who will get the other leader's position. Yes, if you can tell who wins and who loses at a glance, then

What are you betting on? Pan Fu is not a fool. How can he give money to others in vain?

Xing Ying smiled slightly and said: "I am optimistic about the one named Jin Chan. His kung fu is from the same lineage as Li Zhong, so he should be trained by the same master. Moreover, Jin Chan is younger than Li Zhong, but he is slightly inferior in experience."

"Color", even though he fought so many rounds against Tuesday Meng, it doesn't mean that he is not good, but that Tuesday Meng's skills are also quite good. Even I can't defeat him with just three moves and two moves.

, take one hundred taels of silver from it and help me buy Li Zhong and Jin Chan."

The few people in the hall knew the chief catcher's vision, and they all took out their silver, either ten taels or twenty taels, and asked Cao Ming to place a bet on the golden cicada. Li Zhong won in the end.

At dusk the next day, on the official road at the boundary of Bazhou, seven mule carts were hurriedly pulling goods. There was a flag on the mule cart, with the words "Hongci Satin Village" written on it, and there were bundles and bulging bags tied on the cart.

Yes, it seemed like it contained a lot of cargo, but the wheels rolled over without leaving any deep ruts, so the cargo was obviously not very heavy.

"We are almost arriving at Tang Erli Town. Work harder, everyone. We will also have a rest when we reach the town. We will have good wine and meat so that everyone will be well fed!" Among the seven mule carts, there was a horse carriage.

Inside the carriage, a fat head with big ears poked out, and this guy shouted a slogan loudly.

After hearing this, the driver and the guards all cheered up and shouted loudly, "The second steward has given orders. There will be good wine and meat in Tang Erli Town. Brothers, please work harder!"...

Hongci Satin Village is the property of the British Duke Zhang's family. The things pulled by the mule cart are all silk goods. Sir Zhang sent people to the south in advance to collect the fine silk. He is preparing to make a turnaround this year and eliminate the lost business.

Grab it back.

There are at least thirty large and small silk and satin shops in Beijing. In the past, Hongci Satin Shop was the only one on this street. Regardless of whether the goods were good or bad, the business could be done well. But now more and more people are doing business.

There are many, and the competition is fierce. If your product is not good, even if it is opened by the Duke's family, it will still be in vain. You must know that no one does business in Beijing without some backers. Everyone has reached a consensus that doing business must rely on true ability. That

Li Ji Satin Village is the closest to me and has the best silk products. It has almost taken away all of his own business. How can this be done?

The mule cart sped up and was on its way. Suddenly, more than eighty riders rushed in front of them. They were all dressed in black, with hats on their heads and masks on their faces. One look at their attire showed that they were not good people.

When the guards of the Zhang family saw the unkind approach, they immediately drew their weapons and shouted loudly: "We are from Hongci Dangzhuang, a British public property. If you are passing by, please go on the other side!"

The British Lord is so loud. When ordinary robbers hear this background, most of them will not provoke them to avoid causing trouble to themselves. Unexpectedly, when the gang of men in black heard that it was Hongci Satin Village, their eyes lit up.

, shouted loudly: "The one I'm looking for is your Hongci Satin Village!"

After the words were said, the dozen cavalrymen in front had already rushed forward. The men on the horses drew their weapons and killed everyone on sight. It was not easy for the cavalry to kill the infantry, especially the group of men in black. They were all well-trained and their swords were shining.

, the clerk and the nurse didn't even have a chance to resist, so they fell into a pool of blood.

A series of screams rang out, and the fat man sitting in the carriage heard them clearly. The guy was so frightened that he expected to encounter horse bandits, so he quickly got out of the carriage. When he saw a ditch on the roadside, it was

He jumped down directly and covered his head with his hands, praying that no one could see him.

I don’t know if God opened his eyes, but after the men in black quickly killed all the nursing staff, they actually didn’t find him. The guys started to carry the bodies to the car, and some people started to move and said: "It’s fucking

Yes, what's so great about the Duke of our country? He dares to steal business from our Li family and kill everyone. Isn't it just a matter of one and a hundred people?"

"That's right, you announced your family status when you came up. I really think you are nothing. Even if the British man is here, I dare to cut him in two."

"Damn it, I don't even want to ask if our Li family is easy to mess with. Originally, we ordered silk, but they dared to take it first. That's fine, our master doesn't need to say anything.

Grab them all and it will be enough to sell this year."

The men in black chatted and laughed, carried all the corpses to the car, put them away, and then drove the mule cart forward.

"Li Ba, let's find a remote place, sell the body, and then return to the capital." One of the men in black shouted loudly.

"Yes, head."

The fat man trembled and squatted in the ditch. He heard clearly what the man in black said. Only when the mule cart was far away did he dare to climb up, gritted his teeth and cursed secretly: "Bitch bitch"

Damn it, your Li family is too arrogant. Not only did you steal our Lord’s business, but you also dared to rob our goods. Just wait and see how my Lord will deal with you. If the tiger doesn’t show its power, why don’t you?

I really thought it was a sick cat!”

The final battle for the head-capture contest finally began. Yue Su followed the old rules at the six-door martial arts arena and asked four people to draw lots again. Of course, he would not let Jin Chan and Li Zhong be drawn together. Instead, he would draw the two of them together.

Put his name in the box and let Wang Yuanhua and Wu Jiuteng draw it.

The result of the lottery was Jin Chan versus Wu Jiuteng, and Li Zhong versus Wang Yuanhua.

Today was different from the day before. Yue Su did not let them go on stage to compete directly. Instead, he asked Tie Qiu to bring a bundle over. He opened the bundle and found that it was full of white money.

Seeing this scene, all the policemen from the six gates were stunned. They didn't know what Mr. Yue meant.

I saw Yue Su, picked up a list, and read out loud: "Everyone who participates in this competition will be rewarded, and they will be given according to their ranking. Jin Chan, Li Zhong, Wang Yuanhua, and Wu Jiuteng stepped forward to receive the reward."

It turns out that the master is going to reward me with money, which makes the policemen of Liumen extremely excited. I didn't expect that the master of the department would be so cheerful. I knew I would also sign up.

"My subordinates are here!"......

Jin Chan and the others agreed, walked up to Yue Su, and bowed.

"Jin Chan, Li Zhong, Wang Yuanhua, and Wu Jiuteng will each be rewarded with twenty silver coins."

After Yue Su finished speaking, Tie Qiu immediately took charge of distributing the money. The four of them took the silver one by one, held it in their hands, and shouted loudly: "Thank you, sir, for the reward!"...

After giving out the rewards to the four of them, Yue Su also distributed the rewards to the other four people who achieved the top eight results. Kong Ren, Zheng Shisan and other four people came to receive the reward, each of them was ten taels of silver. Then he gave it to those who achieved the top sixteen results, and the remaining

Eight people, including Yin Zhu, Tie Qiu and six six-door policemen, each of these eight people received five taels of silver. Finally, the sixteen people who were eliminated in the first round received two taels of silver each.

This can be regarded as Yue Su's attempt to win people's hearts, but it is also a reflection of the clear distinction between rewards and punishments.

After the money was distributed, Yue Su announced that the competition had begun.

The first ones to take the stage were Li Zhong and Wang Yuanhua. There seemed to be no suspense in the battle between the two. Everyone believed that Li Zhong would win. Even Wang Yuanhua himself thought so. After all, he was half inferior to Zheng Shisan.

, Li Zhongdu defeated Zheng Shisan, how could he be his opponent?

However, Wang Yuanhua would not admit defeat and tried his best to compete with Li Zhong. Winning or losing was no longer a trivial matter, the main thing was to show his strength in front of Master Yue.

The two fought for more than a hundred rounds, with Wang Yuanhua gradually losing ground. Finally, Li Zhong slashed his wrist with a knife and abandoned the knife to admit defeat.

The next pair to appear is Jin Chan and Wu Jiuteng. This competition attracted all the attention, not for anything else but for the bet they made. The person who wins by selling Wu Jiuteng will win by buying Jin Chan.

There are many people, which also means they have confidence in their brothers.

After the two came to the stage, they clasped their fists and were polite, and then started to fight. After nearly a hundred rounds, the outcome was obvious. Jin Chan's martial arts was not inferior to Li Zhong at all. He had not retained his strength in the previous battles, but when he encountered

The strong are the strong, and among the agents registered in the six gates, there is really no one who is too weak.

"Bang!" Jin Chan punched Wu Jiuteng in the chest, and the winner was decided.
