Chapter 15 The Road to Escape (3)
At the Sanchao Road intersection about 30 miles away from Ren County, there is a "Zhang Inn" opened by Constable Zhang Rong, the yamen of Ren County. Although Zhang Rong was only 27 years old, he was tall and strong and upright, and was good at using a steel knife. Ordinary three or five people were not allowed to approach the case. He was very smart and deeply trusted by the head of the class and the Supervisor. He only waited for the first one or two years to retire, and he would take over the position of the head of the class. Therefore, in many cases, he led the team to handle the case.
Last night, General Li's house in Ren County had an accident. When they arrived, the thieves were gone. The hostess Su Qi and the young master Li Xin disappeared. The cook was killed. The guard Song Haiyang was cut through the chest of his knife and was not dead. The doctor present said that Song Haiyang's heart was different from that of a normal person, and it deviated from the right position by 2 inches. Because of these 2 inches, he saved his life. However, Song Haiyang was too injured and still unconscious.
The whole city searched for the middle of the night and found nothing.
Zhang Rong did not sleep all night, his eyes were red. There had been no such case in the county for a long time, which made him angry and palpitations. What was angry was that the thief dared to endure the murder of the county and was lawless. What was palpitations were that they were a group of unknown people and had great martial arts skills. Zhang Rong sat at the gate of the courtyard where Su Qi had lived for three years. He looked at the traces of fighting in the courtyard and knew the cruelty of the enemy.
This is a neighbor next to Shu Qi who came to report that Su Qi and his son were taken away by a masked knight and headed towards the south gate.
Zhang Rong rushed to the south city gate. The south city gate had already changed shifts. Zhang Rong explained his purpose. The city gate captain knew that the matter was serious and quickly called the soldiers on duty last night.
"At the second update yesterday, I was standing guard when suddenly the sound of horse hooves came. I turned around and saw a fast horse flying past me. Before I could react, they crossed the moat." The soldier on duty said.
"Oh? Who is there right away?"
"I didn't see clearly, the moonlight was too dark, I only saw two people immediately, and there were men behind me."
“Where is the front?”
"Oh, I remembered that there should be a woman in front of me, wearing a skirt, and her hair was blown up by the wind."
"Do you have children?"
"I haven't seen it."
“Which path did they go?”
“That road southwest.”
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Rongxin said, "It seems that Su Qi and his son were rescued. Isn't the southwest road leading to my home?" Thinking of this, he said to the constable around him, "Call a few brothers and follow me."
Zhang Rong took eight constables to the "Zhang Inn".
At this moment, Zhang's Inn.
A group of knights stood solemnly in the wind, motionless, and only a few horses sniffed.
A man wearing cowhide boots walked into the inn lobby.
I saw this man with a burly figure, with a black belt wrapped around his head. The black belt was on the square of his forehead, showing off the word "tiger". He was wearing a tiger-skinned robe, a cowhide belt with a cowhide belt on his waist, and a four-foot-long black saber stuck diagonally around his waist.
He walked very slowly, stepping into the inn step by step, his heavy steps seemed to step on everyone's heart. At this time, the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone, and a long shadow was imprinted in the lobby.
Boss Zhang took a peek at him and saw that the man's eyes were as cold as a light, and a murderous aura rushed towards him, which instantly scared him to the point of falling on the ground and dared not move.
The big man glanced at the people in the lobby and walked slowly towards the person who was sleeping. He looked serious and approached the table step by step. He pulled out the black sabre, placed it on the right hand of the table, and sat opposite the sleeping person.
The big man just looked at the sleeping person opposite and did not move. The sleeping person continued to fall asleep, snoring, and his posture did not change.
The people in the lobby were so angry that they were so popular that they could not get angry. Time between heaven and earth seemed to stop, making people anxious.
After a while, the big man spoke: "I am the current leader of the Tiger Gang, and I am giving Zhang Jinzhong, nicknamed Tiger." After Zhang Jinzhong finished speaking, he stopped talking and waited for the reaction of the person sleeping opposite him.
After everyone spoke, the pressure was relieved. The name could be wrong, but the nickname would never be wrong. Zhang Jinzhong was really like a tiger going down the mountain, giving people the feeling of wanting to escape from him and not wanting to be targeted by him.
Yang Sen said intimately: "The Tiger Gang has been active in the Dabashan area. Why did he come to the Nin County? Generally speaking, it is taboo to step out of his territory and bring such a large group of people. It is strange that it will provoke the local gangs and cause the local gangs to rebound." He turned around and thought: "It seems that he came to find the person who went to sleep. Who is that person? It will cause all the elites of the Tiger Gang to come and pursue thousands of miles?"
Su Qi was thinking that it was not enough to find her. She didn't know much about the world, and she looked very powerful, with a large number of people.
The sleeping man raised his head and sat upright. His ordinary appearance was, and the scar on his face made people shudder. He stared at Zhang Jinzhong for a while and said, "Are you Jinzhong?"
"Yes, I am!"
"I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, I've grown up."
"Uncle Jiu, I finally called you Uncle Jiu. Why did you kill my father?" Zhang Jinzhong stared at Uncle Jiu on the opposite side. He wanted to break open his heart and see what color his heart was and why he killed his sworn brother.
"Oh, I didn't kill your father. Over the past eleven years, I have also been chasing who framed me and killed your father, but...ah!" Uncle Jiu sighed.
"If someone is framed, why don't you go back to the gang to make it clear? You are quibbling."
"Brother has been upright and honest all his life. I feel so heartbroken that I ended up like this next time... For eleven years, I have been unable to sleep at night and have been unable to figure it out. Why should I pretend to be me and assassinate my elder brother?"
"Haha, it turns out they are all brothers from the Tiger Gang!" The young man stood up, waved his fan, and asked the two guards to sit down. He walked straight over and sat on the side of the table.
"Hey, Xiao Zhang, don't stare at me like this, haha!" The young master said with a smile as if he had not heard of the blade. Zhang Jinzhong stared at the young master with his eyes fiercely, and the cold light was revealed, like a knife.
His eyes hit the young master, and his smile blew like a spring breeze, causing Zhang Jinzhong's anger to plunge into the sea like a stone, without causing a wave.
"Shan Hong is you! I haven't seen you for many years." Uncle Jiu said to the young master and bowed his hand.
"It's been more than ten years. Cui Jiu, what's wrong with your face? I saw you didn't have this scar yet. Haha..." Shan Hong laughed at the scar on Cui Jiu's face.
"Haha, people are in the world, so there is no way to get killed. However, Shan Hong, you are well maintained, just like a young man."
"Haha, is it really? Are you so handsome?" Shan Hong has always been very confident about his appearance.
"Yes, if your crow's feet weren't betrayed your age, you would be like a young man in his twenties, haha..." Cui Jiu laughed out loud. Unfortunately, the scar was too deep, and Cui Jiu's smile was even uglier than crying.
"You..." Shan Hong was so angry that he trembled all over. He has always been proud of his permanent youth and handsome face.
"Haha, if you want to anger me and take action, I won't be angry. What can you do to me?" Shan Hong touched the corner of his eyes, and saw Cui Jiu's expression from the bottom of his eyes, and suddenly figured it out. Cui Jiu angered him and asked him to take action. For masters, calmness is the most terrible thing. If you get angry easily, you may get the lead, but you will be plotted against by calm enemies. Angry and steel is easy to break, and quiet as water will continue.
Zhang Jinzhong next to him slapped the table, and the bowls, plates, chopsticks on the table jumped up, and then fell heavily on the table.
Shan Hong looked at Zhang Jinzhong and said to Cui Jiu: "Lao Jiu, do you think someone is disrespectful and acts presumptuously in front of us. What do you think you should do?"
"As a child, it is normal to have passion and impulse. I think you can just take him some money." Cui Jiu said lightly.
"Is this OK?" Shan Hong flattened his head and asked inquiring.
"I think it's OK." Cui Jiu said affirmatively.
"Okay, I'll give you the face of this old friend. I'll take him some money." Cui Jiu turned to Shan Hong again and said, "Xiao Zhang, you add 30 people outside. I'm in a good mood today. Each person will take you one tael of silver, totaling 31 taels of silver. Isn't it very fair?"
Su Qi looked beside him for a long time and felt that everyone in the martial arts world was very strange. Cui Jiu advised Shan Hong to collect the silver of the vicious "tiger" Zhang Jinzhong. Shan Hong really spoke up to collect it. The person named Shan Hong looked elegant and weak. Aren't he afraid that Zhang Jinzhong's iron fist would hit the ground to find teeth?
"You..." Zhang Jinzhongteng stood up in anger. For so many years, no one dared to be so arrogant in front of him. Could it be that the 30 elites in the gang outside were decorations? Today, I finally found Cui Jiu. Seeing that his father was revenge, a young man who was ignorant of the world was inserted into him. Cui Jiu actually advised him to collect his own money. What kind of crazy people are these?
"Xiao Zhang, sit, sit, you may have a little misunderstanding. Look, I didn't want to accept it. There are more than 300 people in your Tiger Gang, and at least thousands of family members. For me, this number of people is not a problem for me. Although your Tiger Gang is a bit far away from here, I have encountered it no matter how far away it is. Today, Lao Jiu advised me, why should I give Lao Jiu a face, right? Do you have any questions?"
Shan Hong said slowly, as if he was at a disadvantage.
"Jianzhong, give it to him, do you know who he is?" Cui Jiu glanced at Shan Hong and said to Zhang Jinzhong.
"I care who he is." Zhang Jinzhong said angrily: "I only know whoever has a big fist will have the right to speak."
Shan Hong stopped talking and reached out to hold Zhang Jinzhong's fist. Zhang Jinzhong wanted to avoid it, but Shan Hong's hand looked very slow and light, but he just didn't dodge it, and Shan Hong didn't hold it.
Zhang Jinzhong was squeezed by this gentle scrunch, and felt his right half of his body instantly numb. Cui Jiu stepped forward, slapped Shan Hong's arm, and said, "Don't be as knowledgeable as a child."
This time the two sides secretly fought, and each took a step back, feeling that the other party's internal strength was strong.
Zhang Jinzhong's hand was released and the pressure was relieved. Only then did he realize that the other party was a hidden master and he left all three moves in front of him.
"He is the slaughter demon who shook the world more than ten years ago - Shan Hong. You have to think about the family of your brothers." Cui Jiu said in a deep voice.
"Is it him?" Yang Sen was secretly shocked. He didn't expect to meet Shan Hong, the slaughtering demon who slaughtered the heavens, the land, and all the people here.
