Under the dark and damp bridge tunnel, the little beggar huddled up, as if waiting for something.

The sound of artillery fire outside the city has stopped, and inside the city, large groups of Ming troops are mobilizing.

He knew that this was because the Qing army failed to attack the city and retreated.

The wind passing through the bridge made him shiver.

Not long after, a dark figure slipped into the bridge hole and sat next to the beggar.

"The siege has failed. There is nothing we can do." Black Shadow whispered, his words mixed with disappointment.

"Hibernate and clean up your tail." The beggar said tremblingly.

"Ma Shiying and Chen Hongfan know you..." Black Shadow said coldly.

"They won't..." Before the little beggar finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck and blood spurted out.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked at the black shadow beside him, his eyes full of fear. He wanted to say something, but his throat was cut, and he could only stare and die slowly.

The black shadow slowly pushed the little beggar's body into the water, and then walked out of the bridge hole. After thinking about it, he also threw the murderous short blade into the river.

Suddenly, several government servants carrying lanterns came from a distance. The leader was Xiaohu, who had become the new squad leader.

Seeing that there seemed to be someone on the Yongning Bridge ahead, I took someone forward to check.

"Who is here?" Xiaohu shouted.

On the bridge, a scholar is wearing a green straight skirt and a square scarf on his head. He is holding a hardcover book in his hand, shaking his head and chanting to the moon.

"This official, I am Mr. Jishan's student, and I am studying here at night." The scholar said unhurriedly.

Xiaohu looked around and looked around on the bridge, completely ignoring the scholar's words.

Several government officials were also checking around.

The scholar continued to recite the article without any panic.

After checking for a long time, nothing unusual was found. Xiaohu stepped forward, bowed his hands, leaned down and saluted, and said: "It turns out that I am Mr. Jishan's disciple. It's a routine thing, which is very offensive. Then I won't disturb the young master's study."

Mr. Jishan's reputation is very high, so even if he is his disciple, Xiaohu still has to give him half a penny.

But just when Xiaohu was about to get up and leave, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a stain on the corner of the scholar's clothes.

In order to see clearly, Xiaohu quietly threw a copper coin on the ground.

"Oh, I stepped on the money..."

While Xiaohu bent down to pick up the money, he looked closely at the corner of the scholar's clothes and found that it was a blood stain that had not yet dried.

The scholar didn't notice Xiaohu's movements and still stood by the bridge, holding on to the railing and reciting the words of the article.

Picking up the copper coins and weighing them in his hands, Xiaohu pretended that nothing happened and left slowly with his men.

Seeing the yamen officer leaving, the scholar looked grim, closed the book, put it in his arms, and hurriedly left Yongning Bridge.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked away, Xiaohu walked out of the blacksmith shop not far away, led the people back to the bridge in a hurry, and began to search carefully with a lantern.

Soon, they discovered something unusual, and found residual sporadic blood stains on the bluestone steps under the bridge.

Xiaohu sent someone to report the situation to the Hangzhou government office quickly. Magistrate Zhang Yinli was ordered by King Lu to go to the palace for a banquet. Just as he was about to go out, he learned the news, so he had to send someone to report to King Lu while leading a large group of people to rush.

Go to Yongning Bridge.

Officials quickly cordoned off the scene.

Because Xiaohu found that the blood was still wet, he concluded that the murderer must have buried his body at the bottom of the river. After a search, the body was fished out.

Zhang Yinli's face turned pale when he looked at the corpse in front of him, little beggar!

Chen Hongfan is currently temporarily imprisoned in their prison in Hangzhou. Zhang Yinli has also read his confession, which covers Yongning Bridge, Baozi Shop, and the Little Beggar.

After Chen Hongfan confessed, King Lu did not confess anything specifically. In addition, the Qing army rushed to attack and the war was critical, so he did not continue to pursue the matter for the time being, because the Tatars in the city had already defeated the gate and were strangled. Even if there were

There won’t be a few people left who have slipped through the net, and they won’t be able to make any waves.

Now that the little beggar is dead, someone is trying to silence him.

"Sealing the throat with a knife is very sophisticated." Xiaohu squatted next to Zhang Yinli and pointed at the knife edge on the corpse's neck.

"It seems that the person who slipped through the net wants to protect himself." Zhang Yinli deduced.

At this time, Xiaohu pinched the copper coin in his hand and hesitated.

Zhang Yinli keenly noticed Xiaohu's hesitation and asked: "Xiaohu, what's wrong?"

"Sir, please take a step to speak!" Xiaohu stood up and said solemnly in a low voice.

Zhang Yinli was a little confused, so he followed Xiaohu to the side.

Xiaohu whispered to Zhang Yinli what happened on the bridge just now.

After hearing this, Zhang Yin frowned and was speechless for a moment.

"Sir, I suspect this person is a ghost."

"It is indeed suspicious, but he is Mr. Jishan's student, so it is difficult to handle..."

It is related to Mr. Qishan's reputation. If it is not handled properly, it will be very troublesome.

Zhang Yinli paced back and forth, unable to make a decision for a while. After thinking for a long time, he said to Xiaohu: "First, let the veterans keep an eye on this person secretly. I will report it to the Supervisory State immediately."

"Yes, sir!" Xiaohu accepted the order and left.

Zhang Yinli hurried to the palace.

In the northern city wall, the Qing army has all retreated. The Ming army has recaptured the city head and is organizing the people to repair the gaps and strengthen the city wall.

The city was in full swing.

Zhang Guowei is on inspection with Yang Tinglin, Fang Yuanke, Zhang Dabiao and others.

"General Zhang, this is your first achievement today." Zhang Guowei looked at the sparks in the Qing army camp in the distance and couldn't help but praise.

Zhang Dabiao smiled shyly.

Today, he personally led the troops to counterattack the Qing army on the city, and once attacked the city, he was stunned to suppress the Qing army.

If Zhang Dabiao hadn't left most of his troops to fight in the streets with the Qing troops who had descended on the city wall, he might have been able to recapture the northern city wall directly.

"Yes, General Zhang is really a brave general!" Yang Tinglin also clapped his hands and praised.

"Okay, I'm going to the palace for a banquet. The governor has orders to hold a banquet for the whole army. I leave this matter to you. Brother Youwen, please worry about this." Zhang Guowei turned to everyone and said.

"Don't worry when making the platform, we will never treat our soldiers badly." Qi Biaojia agreed.

"Each person can only drink one bowl, and no drunkenness is allowed!"

"Follow Taiwan's order!"

Although the Qing army was defeated and the camp seemed a lot quieter, it still should not be taken lightly.

Zhang Guowei knows very well that Duduo will not give up, and the current silence is just brewing a bigger offensive.

After finishing the rambling explanation, Zhang Guowei took the carriage to the palace with confidence.

"Making a table is really nagging, just like my mother." Zhang Dabiao scratched his head and blurted out.

"Hahaha, brother Dabiao, you are really outspoken. Are you not afraid that the Taiwanese manufacturer will know this?" Yang Tinglin said with a smile.

"Don't panic, it would be nice if I killed two more Tatars!" Zhang Dabiao also laughed.

At this time, Fang Yuanke walked towards the group of people with a grimace.

"What's going on, little general?" Yang Tinglin couldn't help but wonder when he saw Fang Yuanke drooping his head with a dejected look on his face.

Fang Yuanke stood still in front of several people, arched his hands towards Zhang Dabiao with some trepidation, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "General Zhang, my uncle asked me to apologize to you. I have offended you many times before, so forgive me!"

Zhang Dabiao stared at Fang Yuanke with his big eyes and looked at Fang Yuanke's girlish look. He couldn't help but laughed.

Fang Yuanke's face was burning. Just now, Fang Guoan solemnly explained the matter to him before going to the palace.

Zhang Dabiao became a general immediately, and he also made great achievements and became famous. The time is not far away, so he must form a good relationship early.

Remembering that he had been whipped twice for drinking, Fang Yuanke wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

"Hey! Little general, we are all brothers who fight together. It doesn't have to be like this. Do you think I, Zhang Dabiao, am a narrow-minded person?"

After saying that, Zhang Dabiao lifted up his clothes and made signs on his chest, making everyone laugh.

Qi Biaojia and Yang Tinglin even agreed, resolving Fang Yuanke's embarrassment.
