Chapter two hundred and eighty nine: dark investigation (sixteen)

"Hurry up, hurry up and go there, go back and surround the inn, no one is allowed to leave!"

Just as Liu Feng was having a meal in the room, a noise suddenly came from outside.

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, a large number of soldiers holding torches and constables entered one after another.

The guy who was guarding the door to pick up the guests was so scared that he retreated and tripped on the ground. His tail bone was so painful that he didn't dare to make a sound.

Seeing these vicious soldiers and constables, the residents who were eating were shocked and suddenly became quiet inside.

The shopkeeper rolled and crawled out from behind the counter and met with a smile.

After a while, the door of Liu Feng's room was opened, and an escort quickly walked in to report: "The boss, there were a group of soldiers and constables outside. They surrounded the inn and now let everyone go out."

"Is there anything wrong? Let's go out and have a look."

Liu Feng put down the bowls and chopsticks, reached out and pulled some collars.

The meal tonight was as delicious as ever, but I don’t know what nourishing medicinal materials the old man in Huangshan added to it. He always felt a little hot and very angry.

In addition, the hot-shaped Lu Yi next to her was swaying in front of her from time to time, and her anger increased even more.

Lu Yi next to her seemed to notice something, and a hint of unnaturalness appeared on her face, and she quickly lowered her head and followed Liu Feng.

When they arrived at the lobby, it was already full of people.

Those who stayed in the room were driven out from the inside by constables wearing green clothes, even some women and children were no exception.

The inn shopkeeper was standing behind the two of them carefully, not daring to breathe for a moment.

One of the two is burly, with black armor all over, and looks even more heroic. It is not difficult to see the origin of this outfit just from this outfit.

The other person had a white lining inside and a gray leather armor on the outside. He looked ordinary and inconspicuous, but almost everyone in Jingxian knew him. This person was Zheng Huangtong, the garrison of Jingxian.

Although he is just a team leader, he holds the power of the entire Jing County, which is equivalent to the county magistrate here.

At this time, because the cabinet had not appointed personnel from governing the government and county, the power of each county and prefecture was temporarily in the hands of the local garrison troops.

"Qi Shangdu has come forward!"

A middle-aged man in a headscarer shirt beside Huang Tong shouted loudly.

If you want to maintain public order in a county, of course you cannot rely solely on the garrison. Therefore, although there are no officials such as county magistrates in the county, the department of constable has begun to operate to maintain public order in the city.

Tonight, there was only one Qi Shang who checked in this inn, so when he heard this, Qi Shang Manager An Quan hurriedly walked towards Huang Tong, "Captain Huang, what happened?"

"Huh? Manager An, you are also in this inn tonight?"

When Huang Tong saw An Quan, he was a little surprised. Because he came in a hurry, he only knew that the Black Armored Army was looking for Qi Shang, but he still didn't know which Qi Shang it was.

The caravan of An's family often passes by Jingxian. Every time Huangtong sends troops to escort a distance, so the two have not been dealing with each other once or twice, and the relationship is pretty good.

The origin of this caravan is naturally not simple if Huang Tong deliberately makes friends.

This An family is a family family in Xiqi. It was under the operation of An family that there were a large number of Qi merchants supporting General Fan Wei in the expansion of the army. Moreover, according to rumors, Fan Wei had a good relationship with the An family. There were rumors that the An family even intended to recruit him as a son-in-law. Although the rumors were not trustworthy, it showed that their relationship was definitely not simple.

Huang Tong was not a direct lineman of the Heijia Army, but a native of Jiangzhou. When Fan Wei expanded his army, he brought a group of brothers from the village to join the army in order to fill his stomach.

Because of his bravery and outstanding performance on the battlefield, he was soon appreciated by Fan Wei. After repelling Chen Sheng, he was promoted to the acting team with his military merits and stationed in Jingxian County. He could be promoted to the regular team only after the appointment of the cabinet was issued.

There are many people like him in the army, but because they are appreciated by Fan Wei, they are labeled as a model.

Huang Tong pulled An Quan to the black-armored man, "Manager An, I'll introduce you to this person--"

"Submitted to An? No need to introduce it. What we are looking for is this Qi Shang team and take them away!"

When Huang Tong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at An Quan, his face flashing and hesitating.

If it were other Qi Shang, he would arrest him immediately without saying a word. After all, the Black Armor Army is a direct lineman and it is very difficult to mess with.

But he had no choice but to hesitate to the caravan of An family. In addition to the relationship between An family and General Zhengnan, there was another important factor, that is, Mr. An Da, who was called "military advisor" by their model.

Mr. An Da is an aide to General Fan Wei of the South. He is resourceful and highly valued by Fan Wei. It can be said that in addition to military affairs, Mr. An Da is currently helping to manage all kinds of affairs in Jiangzhou.

"This military master, I don't know where we offended you, please forgive me."

An Quan said as he waved to the back.

Several caravan guards walked over with four small wooden boxes in both hands. The wooden boxes opened, revealing the white silver inside.

"This is a gift from our caravan to respect the military officer."

The man in black armor glanced at the boxes of silver, which was at least three or four hundred taels, and the amount was quite large, which showed that the Qi Shang was rich.

Without his orders, the black armored soldiers following him had already brought the box over.

Seeing that the Black Armored Army had collected the silver, Huang Tong and An Quan both breathed a sigh of relief, when everyone thought that this matter had just passed.

The man in black armor turned to look at Huang Tong and said calmly: "Why haven't your man taken action yet?"

"What?"

Huang Tong couldn't react a little. He looked at the wooden box held by the soldiers, "Really grab it?"

The man in black armor looked at Huang Tong indifferently and said coldly: "They colluded with bandits to harm the businessmen in the past official roads. The evidence is conclusive. Who will they arrest if they don't?"

"Collecting a bandit?"

Huang Tong felt a little sad, and he suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be the group of Heigu Peak?

He naturally knew the bandits of Heigu Peak. After all, this group of people can be said to be the money bags of their troops. Every time they go to encircle and suppress, they can get a valuable amount of money. It is precisely because of this that they did not capture all the bandits in one place.

"Mr. Jun, I wish. We have always been doing business in a regular manner. We will never collude with bandits. There must be misunderstandings in this!"

An Quan immediately reacted. No wonder the group of people were able to come here alive just now. It turned out that they took the Black Armor Army's ride, but this matter could not be admitted no matter what.

"Hold the person in."

The man in black armor turned his head and ordered.

Not long after, three men with their heads were tied up and escorted in.
