Zhang Heng, who was holding a torch, said: "No, to make a long story short, I released all the policemen in the city. Some pilgrims who came back from you said that they saw the little girl's carriage passing by on the way back to the city, and then someone else
I saw the carriage coming to you again at noon, but the man pulling the carriage was covered with a turban, and it seemed that he was not the carriage driver in my house. My people found the carriage driver, bodyguard and maid behind the hill behind Shili Pavilion outside the city.
The bodies seemed to have been turned over and strangled to death, but the little girl was nowhere to be seen, so she must have been kidnapped."
"My lady has not been to Xiaoguan again in the afternoon." Tianyin affirmed.
"I know that the postman who passed by Xihe City today said that he saw the carriage about ten miles away from the post station, but the post head of the post station definitely said that there were only carriages coming from the east and not one going west.
The city is sixty miles away, and it is thirty miles away from here. We searched carefully on both sides of the official road between the Taoist temple and the inn. Sure enough, we found ruts beside the official road more than ten miles away, and then to the north of the official road.
An abandoned carriage was found in the wilderness of six or seven miles. The bandits in Beiliang Mountain have been very violent recently. A few days ago, they robbed and killed a Ganzhou sergeant who was passing by. I suspect that it was the bandits from Beiliang Mountain who robbed the people because of their martial arts skills.
It’s not high, so I’d like to ask you to send two experts to help catch up!”
"It's really possible to say that, but Beiliang Mountain is hundreds of miles away from here. How dare they come so far to commit crimes? I can send the second and third junior brothers to accompany you, but they may still be unable to defeat those thieves. You
Have you ever looked for the young marquis?" Tianyin frowned, but smiled secretly in his heart. The carriage had already unloaded the people when it passed by this fork in the road. It's strange that you can find it.
"That's why I came to you. You also know that I still have some issues with the young Marquis. If you are willing to send a message and ask him to help, Zhang will be grateful!"
"It shouldn't be delayed. The trip to Beiliang Mountain is full of loess hills and ravines. Horses can't move. If the thieves are carrying people on their backs, they will definitely not be able to run fast. Second Junior Brother, please quickly ask the third child to go with Mr. Zhang to rescue people.
I will immediately send someone to the Marquis’ Mansion to ask for experts!”
Zhang Sheng bowed deeply and thanked him again, but suddenly he heard the sound of bowls being broken inside the temple.
When Tianyin heard that it was coming from He Qizhou's hut, his heart tightened. Not to mention the acupuncture points he had tapped, ordinary people couldn't wake up all day and night with just the medicinal power of a pot of wine. Could it be that that guy really has deep internal power?
He was already half-awakened and the acupuncture point was broken? "Zhiming, go and see if the guest is drunk?" Then he gave Zhiming a secret wink.
Zhi Ming understood this and went back inside, deciding to kill the boy named He quickly to avoid ruining the situation!
"Squeak, pounce!" Before Zhiming could move, there was another sound of opening the door and someone falling to the ground. Zhang Sheng saw that Tianyin's expression changed and walked into the temple. He saw a person at the entrance of the west wing.
The young man's eyes were closed tightly and he fell to the ground on his back, as if he was drunk, muttering something in his mouth. He vaguely heard what the other party said: "The girl named Zhang... one thousand five hundred taels..."
"Zhiming, help him into the house quickly, he will catch cold easily when he is drunk!" Tianyin, who followed closely, said hurriedly and loudly, making Qi Zhou's vague words even more difficult to hear clearly.
Zhiming stepped forward quickly, but Qi Zhou on the ground was still talking: "What the Marquis wants, I can't sell it yet..."
Zhiming turned his back to Zhang Heng and others, and wanted to cover Qi Zhou's mouth with his hand and drag him into the house. However, just when he was about to touch Qi Zhou, Qi Zhou turned over and got out of the way. He still said: "Young girl is really smart."
, his skills are also pretty good, if it weren’t for this drug..."
Zhang Heng suddenly woke up, stepped forward and pushed Zhiming away, pulled He Qizhou up from the ground, and asked: "Is she my daughter? Where is she?"
Tianyin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master Zhang, don't listen to the nonsense of a drunkard."
The head catcher brought by Zhang Scale and another catcher suddenly stopped in front of Zhang Scale, and they almost simultaneously drew out their swords and pointed them at Tianyin.
He Qizhou was still talking 'nonsense': "Zhang Sheng has ruined our good deeds many times recently. Let's show him some color. The Marquis has coveted his daughter for a long time. After playing with it, he sold her for a good price...all the entourage were slaughtered by us.
, Zhang Sheng even searched Xihe City in vain..."
"Where is my daughter?" Zhang Sheng shook He Qizhou vigorously, and then looked at Tianyin angrily.
"I didn't expect him to be the thief! Mr. Zhang, tie him up quickly." Tian Yin became wise in his anxiety.
"Zhiming, go tell Third Master Uncle to hide the person in the secret room first..." He Qizhou was still mumbling: "How can rice wine make people drunk..."
"Tian Yin! I didn't expect it to be a good thing you did! You were the mastermind behind those girls being kidnapped and trafficked! Tell me, where is my daughter!" Zhang Sheng's eyes were splitting.
Tianyin hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It really has nothing to do with me. This kid must be a robber from Beiliangshan. Let's interrogate him again!" After saying that, he winked at Zhiguang behind him, and Zhiguang quietly ran into the inner courtyard.
Zhang Heng said: "Nonsense, I have asked all the outsiders who came in and out of the city today. What this guy came into the city to show was the Quanzhen Certificate. He is just a passerby from the east. After staying in your Taoist temple, he was also taken over by you."
You’re so confused, Tianyin, you are so brave!”
"Zhiming, go and close the door." Tianyin's smiling face suddenly turned gloomy: "In that case, Mr. Zhang, don't go back today!"
"You dare to kill the imperial official?" Zhang Sheng was furious and whispered to the arrester beside him: "Captain Zheng, you will find a way to escape later and go directly to Zhang's Mansion in Ganzhou!"
"Do you think any of you can go out?" Tianyin saw through Zhang Sheng's thoughts and said confidently. At this time, four more Taoist priests and four people dressed as bodyguards walked out of the inner courtyard one after another, most of them holding swords in their hands.
.Finally two more people walked out, they looked like businessmen, one of them turned out to be a foreigner with curly hair and blue eyes.
"All the police officers in the city know that we are here, do you think we can hide it?" Zhang Heng calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
"Master Zhang, please worry. Someone will find your bodies in the wilderness of Beiliang Mountain, north of the official road..." Tianyin said while waving his hands for everyone to form a fan shape to surround Zhang Sheng and He Qizhou in the middle. Only the curly-haired man
The green-eyed Persian and a Han man standing next to him stood outside the circle and watched, both of them looking calm.
"Fight!" Zhang Sheng roared and patted the catcher beside him. The catcher took a knife and chopped off Tianyin's head directly.
Zheng Captou has always been known as the number one master in Xihe City, and the momentum of his fatal blow is naturally extraordinary. Tianyin did not dare to neglect, and took two steps back. The two Taoist priests holding swords around him formed a pincer attack on Captou, one on the left and one on the right. The people surrounding him also
Gradually getting closer to Capt. As long as he kills Capt. Zheng, the others will naturally not be a problem.
At this moment, Zhang Heng was seen rushing towards the Persians alone. His speed was no slower than Zheng Captou. The two Taoist priests surrounding the south were caught off guard. Before they could move their swords, they were dwarfed by Zhang Heng.
He got through, and then faced two people who looked like bodyguards of Persian businessmen. He used both palms to slap away one person's sword, and the other palm faced the other bodyguard.
The bodyguard who faced Zhang Heng was obviously more skilled, but his internal strength was slightly weak, and he was still knocked back two steps. Zhang Heng, who quickly broke through the encirclement, took the opportunity to come to the Persians, and prepared to catch the foreigner with his fingers like hooks.
.
Zhang Heng made an accurate judgment when the Persian man walked out of the inner courtyard. Looking at the humble attitude of the Taoist priests towards this man, he knew that as long as he pushed and captured this man, the initiative would still fall into his hands.
Tianyin, who was trying to avoid Zheng Captou's sharp attack, was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect Zhang Sheng to hide his secrets. If the Persian had any shortcomings, he might really be unable to bear it and walked away, so he turned back and stepped forward.
A palm print was directed towards Zheng's head and chest.
Zheng Baotou had just blocked the attack of the two men on his left and right, and his body froze. He was unable to defend himself with the sword in his right hand. Seeing Tianyin's sharp palm, he did not dare to take it forcefully. Anyway, the purpose of luring the enemy was achieved, so he blocked with one palm.
After one move, he stepped back. However, the three Taoist priests had a tacit understanding of their moves. One of them entangled the waist knife in his hand, while Tianyin and the other bullied him and went straight forward, leaving him no chance to breathe.
As soon as Zheng Captou saw Tianyin take action, he knew in his heart that in terms of martial arts, he might be able to defeat the two Taoist priests around Tianyin, but against Tianyin, he might not be able to move even ten moves.
Sure enough, under the joint efforts of the three of them, Zheng Baotou abandoned his sword and defended himself with just one move, and then used his palm to fight. He was beaten by Tianyin and couldn't help but retreat. Just when he was about to hit the wall hard, he felt someone behind him.
With a gentle support, Tianyin just leaned against the wall and was not injured. After the move, Tianyin neither pursued nor rescued the Persian, because when he looked back, Zhang Sheng had also been hit by a move.
The winner is decided!
Seeing a hint of murderous intent in the Persian's sunken eyes, and a disdainful smile on his face, Zhang Sheng knew something was wrong. He usually practiced martial arts diligently, and his strength was also that of the Four Meridians, which was not inferior to his own followers.
Zheng Captou immediately stopped his defense when he saw something unusual. Fortunately, he woke up early and took precautions in advance. When the Han man beside the Persian kicked him silently, he could still use his arms to block his chest.
, but as soon as the opponent's feet touched his arms, a huge force suddenly burst out, kicking him up and crashing into the brick wall of the side room behind him out of control.
Originally, he got through the siege of four people before arriving in front of the Persians, but now he flew back. How could the four people miss this opportunity and slash Zhang Heng's neck and back with their swords?
Zheng Captou, who had just gained a foothold, saw that Zhang Heng was about to encounter an accident, but he was beyond his reach and could not rescue him. He couldn't help but feel his liver and gallbladder splitting, and screamed. But before he could stop his voice, the four people who took action were covering his head.
Holding his own wrist, Zhang Sheng howled like a killing pig, and Zhang Sheng hit He Qizhou who had stood upright at some point, and then fell down safely.
The faces of the Persian and the man beside him changed, and they turned their attention to Tianyin, who was also shocked. Tianyin looked at He Qizhou behind Zhang Sheng and asked tremblingly: "Hey, Mr. He, are you not drunk?"
