Zhang Shaojie listened to Wang Tian's words, and in order to show his loyalty, he rushed all the way to Jiancheng as quickly as possible. After entering the city gate, he rode on his horse and asked a passerby for the location of Tian Ji's mansion.
He rode his horse and galloped over.
For him, time is very important. He must not let other informants arranged by Tian Ji report the news first, so when he saw that the guard on the opposite side had already put up a defensive posture, he just explained loudly and did not stop his horse in time.
.
At this moment, more than twenty soldiers with long bows suddenly poured out of the gate of Tian's mansion. Seeing that his horse was very fast, they took up their bows and shot arrows without hesitation.
What do people in the world fear most? The strong bows and crossbows in the army!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
More than twenty wolf-fang arrows gleamed with cold light and made a faint sound of breaking the wind, heading straight for Zhang Shaojie on the horse. Zhang Shaojie was riding on the horse and saw a large group of archers pouring out in front of him. He realized that something was wrong, but he thought
I am here to inform you, so I only need to open my mouth and explain a few words.
But he never thought that before he opened his mouth, he saw the other party loosening the bowstring.
There were more than twenty sharp arrows in front of him, locking his whole body. If there was a bunker beside him, or if he had his feet on the ground, he might be able to dodge, but now, he fell down in shock.
He took a breath of cold air, but after all Zhang Shaojie was extraordinary in martial arts and had real abilities. He suddenly pulled the reins, and the red horse suddenly stopped and stood up with its hooves raised. Then, Zhang Shaojie turned over and landed on the ground, holding the saddle with both arms.
With a sudden force, he pinned the erect horse to the ground, while he himself hid behind the horse.
"Puff, puff, puff..." Several wolf-toothed arrows were instantly inserted into the belly and neck of the maroon horse. Blood splattered everywhere. The horse gave a hoarse whine and died.
The archers were shocked when they saw that they could not kill the opponent. Just as they were about to shoot again, Zhang Shaojie's voice finally came over, "Stop, stop shooting. I came from Luo City to report the news!"
It can be heard that Zhang Shaojie's voice was obviously trembling. If he had not reacted in time, he would have turned into a corpse at this moment!
The sergeant here hesitated when he heard this, and a guard leader shouted at the top of his voice: "If you want us to believe you, just throw the weapon at your waist aside, crawl on the ground, and don't move."
Being pointed at by more than twenty wolf-fang arrows, Zhang Shaojie did not dare to disobey, so he took off the long sword from his waist and threw it aside, while he endured the humiliation and crawled to the ground.
Seeing this, the leader summoned a sergeant and gave some instructions.
After hearing this, the sergeant quickly ran into the house to get a rope, then carefully came to Zhang Shaojie and tied him up.
The sergeant tied him so tightly that Zhang Shaojie couldn't move his hands at all.
At this time, the guard leader came over with several men holding spears and said with a straight face: "How brave you are to ride a horse and run wildly in front of Lord Zhizhou's house! Don't you?
Do you know that even if a fifth-rank official of the imperial court comes to visit Tian Mansion, he has to get off the sedan chair in advance!"
Zhang Shaojie used to be a martial artist, so how could he know this? Hearing this, his face turned red and he groaned, not knowing how to answer.
"What do you have to report to your lord?" the guard leader asked again.
Zhang Shaojie said hurriedly: "Something big happened in Luo City, and I want to report it to Mr. Tian in person!"
Seeing that Zhang Shaojie's expression was eager and not fake, the guard leader nodded and hurriedly led him into the gate of Tian Mansion. Tian Mansion covers a huge area, with hundreds of winding corridors and long pavilions. Zhang Shaojie's arms were tied.
After walking for a long time, he arrived at the door of Tian Mansion's study. The leader of the guard asked for permission at the door. Hearing that he was allowed to enter, he asked Zhang Shaojie to wait. He went in first to report. After a while,
Just let him in.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, someone shouted: "You bastard, you still don't kneel down!"
Immediately afterwards, his knees were kicked hard, and he knelt on the ground with a bang. When he was walking freely in the rivers and lakes before, had he ever kneeled down like this before?
A sense of humiliation filled his heart, and he instinctively clenched his fists.
"Who is coming?" A majestic voice sounded from the front seat.
Zhang Shaojie lowered his head and replied quickly: "Sir, my humble position is the deputy chief catcher of the Six Gates of Luo City. Zhang Shaojie is a subordinate of Mr. Wang."
"Oh? Then what are you doing in Jiancheng?"
Previously, Zhang Shaojie saw several people sitting in the room. He didn't know what these people were doing, so he didn't dare to reveal that he had a close relationship with the Wang Tian family. "Sir, I came to Jiancheng this time to inform you."
, the city guard was stabbed by a gangster while he was examining a case in the lobby during the day, and was seriously injured!"
Zhang Shaojie had excellent eyesight and had already seen that Wang Meng was not dead, but was seriously injured.
"What!" The person sitting in the seat was Tian Ji. Even though he was calm and sophisticated, he was shocked when he heard this. Wang Meng was actually assassinated during the court trial!
Who is the murderer? Why assassinate him?
Zhang Shaojie quickly said it again. After speaking, he secretly raised his head, looked at Tian Ji, and then lowered his head quickly.
Tian Ji is in his fifties, short in stature, with a solemn face, sharp eyes, and a three-inch gray beard on his chin. He is frowning and looking very dignified.
"Master Wang was assassinated by a gangster. You should have stayed in Luo City to capture the suspect. Why did you abandon your official duties and come here to send a message to me?" After being surprised, Tian Ji asked in a deep voice.
"This" Zhang Shaojie raised his head and glanced around.
"It doesn't matter, these are my confidants. If you have anything to say, just say it." Tian Ji smiled at the people around him and added.
"Yes, in fact, I am Wang Tian's right-hand man. I have a personal letter from her in my heart."
Wang Tianshi?
Tian Ji was slightly startled when he heard this, his eyes swept over Zhang Shaojie's handsome face, and he was secretly surprised. Could it be that that little lady has become more beautiful recently? Otherwise, how could he possibly win over such a handsome young man?
Obviously, Tian Ji knew the Wang Tian family very well.
"Come here, take out the letter." Tian Ji gave the order. The guard leader from before quickly stepped forward, searched out the letter from Zhang Shaojie's lapel, then bent down and presented it to Tian Ji respectfully.
.
After receiving the letter, Tian Ji recognized Wang Tian's handwriting at a glance. After reading the content, he gently waved his hand and signaled for Zhang Shaojie to be untied, "Tian Ji was assassinated by a gangster while trying the Lin family case?"
"Yes, I was also present at that time." Zhang Shaojie's arms were tied for a while, his blood was not flowing smoothly, and there was a dull pain. He answered while doing some hidden activities.
"Hmph! You are the deputy chief of the Six Doors, but you can't even protect your superior. You have the nerve to admit that you are also there!"
Suddenly, a voice came in, which stung Zhang Shaojie's face.dd
