It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that a few passers-by appeared on the street. During the New Year's Eve, all shops were closed, and all the doors were closed. A few boys were clearing snow in front of the door. Those who were scared last night were lightly
He gently opened the door of his house a crack, stretched his head out to take a look, and only after making sure that nothing was wrong, he opened the door completely.
There should be a Chinese New Year atmosphere, and in the afternoon, this atmosphere finally came. Shangguan Qing and Qiao Da hurried to the Hunhe Police Station. The sign at the door had already changed to "The Second Battalion of the 31st Infantry Regiment."
.
"Stop!" Two sentries stopped Shangguan Qing and Qiao Da.
Qiao Da immediately stepped forward: "Are you blind? This is the Shangguan County Magistrate of Hunhe!"
"Hmph!" the sentry sneered: "I don't understand what Shangguan and Xiaoguan mean. No one can go in without our battalion commander's order!" After saying that, he took off the gun on his shoulder and pointed it at Shangguan Qing and Qiao Da.
Shangguan Qing hurriedly smiled and said: "Brothers, please forgive me. I'd like to inform you that Shangguan Qing would like to see Battalion Commander Liu." Shangguan Qing took out two silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the sentry's hand. The sentry weighed them twice.
, Hehe laughed and said: "Seeing that you are so obedient, okay, you guys wait here for now!" He turned around and went inside.
After waiting for a full hour, Shangguanqing kept looking at his pocket watch. Fatty Liu never came out, and even the sentry who reported the news was nowhere to be seen. Shangguanqing was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to rush in. As the saying goes,
Well, it’s hard to explain why a scholar meets a soldier. A bad soldier can really shoot.
It wasn't until the sun turned to the west and was about to fall behind the mountain that Zhang Hanmin slowly walked out. Shangguanqing hurriedly shouted: "Commissioner Zhang! Counselor Zhang!"
Zhang Hanmin smiled: "My lord, the county magistrate, I have been waiting for a long time. I have some matters to deal with at the camp, so I am late. My lord, the county magistrate, please forgive me."
Following Zhang Hanmin into the camp headquarters, Fatty Liu made adjustments to the original layout of the police station. All the original gun racks and other items were thrown away, leaving only the water tank in the middle of the courtyard. A few red carps were swimming happily in it.
Fatty Liu was lying on the edge of the tank and watching intently.
As soon as Shangguan Qing spoke, the carp was frightened and immediately sank to the bottom of the tank. Fatty Liu was a little angry and looked at Shangguan Qing: "Is the county magistrate here to give us military pay?"
"Something big has happened! Something big has happened!" Shangguan Qing pretended to be nervous: "The warehouse where the silver coins were stored was stolen last night. All the five hundred thousand yuan in it were moved away, and not a penny was left! Liu Ying
Chief, why don't you send someone to check it out quickly?"
"Pah!" Fatty Liu slapped his palm on the table and said angrily: "Brother Ge, no wonder he was so powerful yesterday and hit seven or eight of our brothers. It turned out to be to attract our attention, but the real purpose was to store
Military pay in the warehouse? Tell me, who did it?" Fatty Liu looked at Shangguan Qing fiercely.
Shangguan Qing shook his head: "I don't know exactly who it is, but I'm sure it's still a bandit!"
"How can the Shangguan County Magistrate be sure that they are bandits? There is no other possibility?" Zhang Hanmin asked: "Could it be that the Shangguan County Magistrate did not collect enough 500,000 yuan and made up this story to deceive us?"
"It's really the work of bandits! Please look at this. This is what the servant said this morning that someone sent it!" Shangguan Qing took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Fatty Liu. Fatty Liu only read half of it and then
He was furious: "Guizi is so crazy, where is this Tiger Leaping Cliff?"
Qiao Da hurriedly said: "It's just in the north of the city, but..."
Zhang Hanmin said: "The camp is located at Tiger Leaping Cliff, a hill fifty miles away from the north of the city. There is a group of bandits on the mountain. The leader is a man named One-Eyed Dragon. This man is ruthless and ruthless. The people nearby were tortured by him to the point where they had no room in their house. I heard that
This group of bandits has something to do with Commissioner Wu Xiaoren." After Zhang Hanmin finished speaking, he looked at Shangguan Qing and Qiao Da with a strange smile on his face.
"Wu Xiaoren? No wonder he is making waves in the Hunhe River. Let's go and see him! Let's see how he explains it to me!" Fatty Liu put on his woolen coat and walked out with Shangguanqing, Zhang Hanmin and others.
Ma Xingkong got up very early. He came to the gate of Wu Mansion early and hid behind a haystack to see if he could sneak into Wu Mansion. Wu Mansion became busy from noon on, and Hunhe City was well-known.
Characters walked into the Wu Mansion one by one with gifts. Butler Wu Liu stood in front of the gate to greet them.
Wu Liu is not young, probably over fifty. He is wearing a long robe, but has a very fashionable short hair. He is full of smiles, which makes you feel at ease and at ease. He is polite to everyone, even a young man who takes gifts.
Whenever the guy fell down, he would reach out to help him up. Ma Xingkong had been paying attention to Wu Liu and couldn't tell what he was like.
When the sun turned to the west, Fatty Liu and Shangguan Qing unexpectedly arrived at the Wu Mansion. Wu Liu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Liu Yingzhang, please come in, Magistrate Shangguan County! Please come in, some of the dignitaries are here. I must be very happy." He said hello.
After finishing these people, they shouted towards the inside: "Liu Battalion Commander, Shangguan County Magistrate has arrived...!"
Ma Xingkong ran out of the haystack and got into a small alley next to Wu's Mansion. He climbed up the wall without much effort and jumped into Wu's Mansion. There were many people coming to Wu's Mansion today, and no one paid attention to Ma Xingkong. They all thought it was him.
The servant of a shopkeeper. Standing in the crowd, Ma Xingkong watched Wu Xiaoren sitting on the Taishi chair outside the hall door with a smile on his face, accepting everyone's New Year's greetings.
"Wu! You should give me an explanation for this matter!" Fatty Liu was furious. He walked up to Wu Xiaoren in three or two steps, threw the letter in his hand in front of Wu Xiaoren, and sat down on the bench behind him.
Go up. The whole place immediately became silent.
Scar hurriedly picked up the letter from the ground and handed it to Wu Xiaoren. Wu Xiaoren looked at it and said with a smile, "Is Battalion Commander Liu here to investigate?"
"Ge's!" Fatty Liu swore: "This one-eyed dragon has connections with you, Commissioner Wu. This is evidence of being a bandit, and I can kill you with one shot!"
Wu Xiaoren still had a smile on his face: "Captain Liu, don't talk about the so-called stealing from thieves and catching cheaters without evidence. If I report it to Marshal Wang, I'm afraid you won't have a hard time either! Since it's Tiger Leaping
The Cyclops from Ya did it. Battalion Commander Liu should go find the Cyclops. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to come to my house to cause trouble. Besides, who saw the Cyclops robbing the county warehouse last night? Is there any evidence? Based on this letter alone
I’m afraid it’s hard to convince the public!”
"That's right!" Scar responded hurriedly: "The county magistrate appointed Liu Ying to temporarily take charge of the security of Hunhe River. It is also Liu Ying's responsibility to catch thieves. Since the one-eyed dragon robbed the county warehouse, Liu Ying
The commander should lead the troops to encircle Hutiaoya and eradicate this evil bandit for the people!"
"Yes! That's right! We should eradicate the evil bandits as soon as possible!" Everyone was talking.
Ma Xingkong looked at Wu Xiaoren, who was smiling all over his face, and his eyes turned blood red. The enemy was right in front of him, and he couldn't restrain himself at all. His hands involuntarily reached into his arms and grasped the short handle of the box cannon.
