"Master, I still haven't found any trace of my third brother."

Ren family, deputy commander of the militia Ren Heizi said in a low voice.

Ren Anfu, who was arranging his clothes, frowned: "I haven't found it yet. Is there any news from Ren Jiu?"

"Yes, I sent someone to Qipan Mountain, and Ren Jiu said that Ren Qi left Qipan Mountain yesterday." Ren Heizi responded.

Ren Anfu's frown deepened. Ren Qi had always been reliable in doing things. Even if he had to go out temporarily for something, he would say hello to him in advance so that he would not be unable to find him when something happened.

But yesterday, Ren Qi went to Qipan Mountain to deliver a message, but he has disappeared until now. This is very abnormal.

"Master, could it be that Third Brother has something important to do and doesn't have time to say hello?" Ren Heizi analyzed.

"When Ren Qi left, he brought six or seven guards with him. No matter how important the matter is, he can always send a guard back to report." Some bad thoughts began to appear in Ren Anfu's mind.

Is it possible that Ren Qi encountered danger along the way?

But those guards all carry guns and each of them rides a fast horse. Who can hurt them?

bandit?

impossible!

There are more than a hundred bandits in Jiangdu County who have supported themselves and do not dare to attack Ren Qi.

wrong!

At this moment, Ren Anfu suddenly thought of a group of bandits who robbed the Liang family!

These people even dare to rob the Liang family, what else would they not dare to do!

Ren Anfu felt a pinch in his heart. If this was really the case, Ren Qi might be in trouble.

As Ren Anfu's most trusted subordinate, Ren Qi's death will be a great loss to him.

Even Ren Anfu couldn't find a subordinate who could replace Ren Qi.

However, Ren Anfu still refused to let go of the last glimmer of hope. He stared at Ren Heizi and said: "Go, continue to send people out to investigate. I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death!"

Speaking of this, Ren Anfu said to himself: "If it is really those people who did it, it seems that I have to join forces with the Liang family to wipe out those bandits!"

"I must go to this banquet tonight!"

Soon, Ren Anfu, Ren Heizi, and a few followers left the Ren family compound and rushed towards the Liang family's mansion in the county.

At the same time, more than twenty strong men with short guns at their waists gathered in the front hall of the Liang family.

Liang Wanyi looked at everyone with a gloomy face and said: "After the banquet, when the chef brings the fish in the pot with milk soup, that will be the signal for you to take action."

"When the time comes, you will be divided into two groups. One group will be in the front yard and deal with the guards brought by Ren Anfu as soon as possible."

"Another wave rushed into the house and quickly controlled Ren Anfu, Ren Heizi and others."

"Attention, people in the house must be careful not to hurt the county magistrate. Do you understand?"

One of the leading guards scratched his scalp and asked somewhat unclearly: "Uncle, we dare to kill Anfu even if we are re-elected, why are we afraid of killing one more county magistrate? Isn't that just a fake?"

"You know nothing!"

Liang Wanyi reprimanded: "No matter how good he is, he is also a county magistrate and an official of the imperial court."

"Killing a court official in public, once someone is brought to justice, even ten Liang families won't be enough to deal with it."

"Ren Anfu is different. His militia commander is purely self-appointed and does not have a registered military position. If he is killed, he will be killed and no one will stand up for him!"

"So, I emphasize again, we must not hurt the county magistrate!"

"Do you understand?"

"clear!"

More than twenty men replied in unison.

Liang Wanyi nodded, and then with a wave of his hand, everyone immediately dispersed and hid in the corner of the courtyard. The courtyard, which was a little lively just now, instantly became quiet.

At the same time, several wealthy gentry in Jiangdu County hosted banquets for the leaders of surrounding militia garrisons in the name of 'preventing banditry'.

Just like the Liang family, these people also have some capable people ambushed at home, ready to eliminate these people one by one while the garrison leaders are drunk!

County government

Chu Liangyi walked into the study. At this time, some people had already gathered in the room. Among them was Ding Dehu, who came to Jiangdu County from Jiangxin Island. He led a company under his command into the county in batches and lurked, preparing to prepare for the Liang family tonight.

The whole Hongmen Banquet is a tough job.

Guo Lang, who was stationed on Qipan Mountain, also sneaked into the county with Ren Jiu and a company.

At this time, Chu Liangyi said: "Hongfei, Ren Anfu has already left for the Liang family."

"This time he only brought eight guards, plus Ren Heizi, the deputy commander of the militia."

Lin Hongfei, who was sitting behind the desk, smiled: "Very good, it depends on tonight whether we can hold Jiangdu County in our hands."

Having said this, Lin Hongfei looked at everyone and said: "The real master has already left, so let's not be idle."

"According to the pre-discussed plan, start taking action!"

"yes!"

Immediately, everyone in the room stood up and quickly left the county government office.

Lin Hongfei also took Chu Liangyi, Chen Deshan, Wang Deming and five fully armed guards to the Liang family for the banquet.

Although Lin Hongfei could conclude that Liang Wanyi didn't have the guts to do something to him, he still took out a body armor from the sign-in space and put it on just in case.

At the same time, in addition to two 20-shot rifles each of the five guards, there was also a row of hand grenades tied inside their loose jackets.

If Liang Wanyi or Ren Anfu wants to kill everyone, then he will let his subordinates reveal the grenades in their arms. At worst, they will all be finished, who will be cruel?

Of course, in addition to these five guards, the two companies brought by Ding Dehu and Guo Lang are ambushing outside the Liang family. If there is any movement, they will rush in immediately.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of horse hooves, Lin Hongfei and his party arrived outside the Liang Family Courtyard.

At this time, Liang Zongyu had already been waiting outside. After seeing Lin Hongfei, he immediately ran over with a smile on his face:

"Welcome to the county magistrate!"

"It really makes my Liang family proud that you can attend the banquet!"

Lin Hongfei turned over and dismounted, laughing and saying: "Young Master Liang, you are welcome. I have long heard that there is a cook in the Liang family who studied under famous chefs from Shaanxi Province and cooks good Shaanxi cuisine."

"The gourd chicken, steamed pot, braised pork, and elbow are all top-notch. I'm going to have a real treat tonight!"

Liang Zongyu said generously: "If the county magistrate likes Shaanxi cuisine, I will ask this cook to go to the county government office and cook authentic Shaanxi cuisine for the magistrate every day."

"Hahaha, forget it, a gentleman will not take away others' love."

Lin Hongfei and Liang Zongyu were talking and laughing as they walked through the front yard and came to a bright and spacious room full of candlelight.

At this time, several plates of cold dishes and vegetarian dishes had been placed on the round table in the room. Liang Wanyi, Ren Anfu, Ren Heizi and others were seated around the round table.

I saw Liang Wanyi and Ren Anfu talking and laughing, with smiles between their brows and eyes, and they were so intimate. If an outsider had seen it, they would have thought that Liang Wanyi and Ren Anfu were close friends of life and death.

In short, tonight Liang Wanyi brought his ability to talk to people and ghosts to the extreme.

Facing Ren Anfu, his life-and-death enemy, Liang Wanyi did not show any anger. His face, eyes, and tone were all filled with enthusiasm and compliments for Ren Anfu.
