Chapter 317 Obtaining the Bounty
......
Gao Baihu liked Jiang Dalang very much and knew that he followed Bantou Chen to the Yamen. When he ordered the troops, he took him with him. Huang Yanglong didn't think it was a big deal, so he grabbed Xiaobai and the others, along with the martial arts master, to watch the excitement.
A large group of people rushed to Ma's house in the west of the city, but when they arrived at Ma's house, Boss Ma had already run away.
Gao Baihu was furious. He put the tip of his spear against Butler Ma's neck and asked angrily: "Where did Ma Yong's escort escape? When did he escape? Tell me quickly, otherwise you will never survive!"
The Ma family is a member of the side family. Butler Ma has also seen the storm and is not afraid. He said: "Returning to the military master, it is almost the Chinese New Year. The master and the two young masters are going back to the countryside to give New Year gifts..."
With a squeak, the spear turned, and the blade pierced into Butler Ma's right shoulder. Blood surged out, staining his coat.
Guanjia Ma was horrified. He didn’t expect that Gao Baihu would directly hurt someone. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground: "Sir, please don’t kill me. Sir, they left half an hour ago and took a bunch of people with them." A box of gold, headed for the west gate."
Boss Ma has his eyes and ears. Guang, after learning that Cao Weinan and the others were caught by the government army, they knew that something was going to be very bad. After some thought, they decided to take the gold and the two men with the handle and escape first... After a month or two, if the government If the army doesn't hold him accountable as the boss, he will come back with his sons and continue to make money.
"You bitch, you are well informed, and you escaped so quickly. What a pity, did he think he could escape? The Yamen has sent orders to the guards at all the city gates not to let him out of the city. Your Ma family is waiting to be captured. Catch them all in one fell swoop." Gao Baihu pointed his spear at Ma Zhai and said, "Come here, seal the Ma Zhai. No one can enter or leave."
"Yes." A group of soldiers immediately picked up Butler Ma and dragged him into the house.
Jiang Dalang chased after him and asked Ma Guanjia: "What size of wheel did the Ma family and his son ride on?"
Ma Guanjia was stunned, and the young man asked what he was doing? But Gao Baihu was here, so he had to answer: "It's a three-inch wheel."
After Jiang Dalang got the answer, he turned around and walked down the steps and returned to the team.
The soldiers dragged housekeeper Ma into the house, closed the front, back and corner doors of Ma's house, affixed seals, and stood guard at the door.
"Go to the west gate and chase Ma Boss!" Gao Baihu took Jiang Dalang and the soldiers and ran to the west gate together.
When he arrived at the west city gate, he was almost angry to death. He dismounted and grabbed the soldiers guarding the city gate, and said angrily: "What did you say? The Ma family's carriage left the city? Who asked you to let him out? It was confiscated. Are you going to write the document at the Yamen?"
The guards at the West City Gate all knelt down and trembled: "If you go back to Baihu, it is true that you have left the city... The document was delivered after they left the city. Come on, Lin Tou has already rushed back to the government office to report.”
Bang, Gao Baihu kicked the soldier who had replied, and cursed: “The suspect has escaped. I don’t want to go out of the city to pursue him, I will only report. Is there any point in reporting?”
Gao Baihu was very angry and pointed at the guards: “Wash your skins and wait for me to come back and deal with you!”
After saying that, he got on his horse and led the soldiers out of the city to pursue Boss Ma.
Jiang Dalang has been paying attention to the ruts on the ground. After running about a hundred meters away, he shouted: "Master Baihu, this rut has become shallower. Boss Ma is afraid that he got off the car and changed the route and ran away. "
Gao Baihu frowned when he heard this, but he remembered that when they were in Fenfangyuan, Jiang Dalang led them to the cave where the thief was hiding, relying on his ability to survey the road. He stopped the horse again and came over and said, "Elaborate." Jiang Dalang pointed to the ruts and said, "This is the rut of the three-inch wheel. It should be the car that Boss Ma was riding in, but the ruts here are worse than the ruts when he just left the city. It’s half shallow. It can be seen that when the vehicle reached here, someone got out of the car.”
The weight inside the vehicle was reduced, so the rut marks became shallower.
Jiang Dalang looked around again. After checking back and forth for a few meters, he replied: "Sir, there is a cleaned footprint on the south, going all the way to the south. The Ma family who got off the car should have changed this way and gone to the south."
A soldier familiar with the terrain immediately said: "Hundred households, there is Wangcheng Village in the south. There are children in the village who work as thugs at Jinfu Gambling House."
It is very likely that Ma Yong's escort escaped to the village. Rested.
Gao Baihu immediately said: "Lao Zhou, take half of your troops and chase the other Ma family fugitives along the ruts. The rest of the soldiers will follow the general's footprints to chase. I don't believe it. We still can’t catch the boss who is trying to catch someone from the wrong side!”
“Yes!” The soldiers immediately divided into two teams and pursued them along two different trails.
"Boy Jiang, follow me." Gao Baihu said, leading the soldiers to chase south. After chasing for more than three quarters of an hour, he suddenly heard the sound of a fight.
In the dry forest ahead, two groups of people were fighting each other with weapons. One of them was the thugs from Jinfu Gambling House. Boss Ma was holding the box and hiding behind the thugs, staring at the other side with hatred. The leader: "Tang Chang'an, you are a murderer of thousands of swords, how dare you block my way, your Da'an carriage and horse shop doesn't want to hang out in the west of the city?!"
Tang Changan had murderous intent in his eyes and looked at him coldly: "Ma Yongbiao, anyone can leave today, but you can't!"
He then said to the thugs from Jinfu Gambling House: "Ma Yongbiao and my family If there is a mortal enemy, I will only target him. If you don’t want to be accidentally injured, you can steal Ma Yong’s gold and leave on your own!”
What the hell?
Allow them to steal Boss Ma's gold?
After hearing this, the thugs' eyes were so greedy that their eyes glowed green. They all looked at the box guarded by Ma Yong's bodyguard... a box of gold. If they could get this box of gold, they could go to the capital to have fun. No more working as a thug in a gambling house to earn a meager monthly salary!
How loyal can a person who fishes for others be? The thugs were excited.
Ma Yongjiao secretly thought something was wrong. He hurriedly took out a few packets of poison, held it up and said, "If you don't want to die, don't come here... Tang Chang'an, it was you who forced me to do this. This time, even if I take the risk, I will do it." Take your life away!"
When the thugs from Jinfu Gambling House saw that Ma Yong's escort was poisoned, they were too frightened to betray him again, so they helped and shouted: "Tang Chang'an, kneel down and apologize to our boss, or we will kill you!"
Tang Changan stared at the medicine bag in Ma Yongbiao's hand with a serious expression... He was not afraid of death, and he didn't think Ma Yongbiao's poison had the effect of sealing the throat with a sword, but what if?
He didn’t want the brothers in the carriage and horse shop to die for him, and finally said: "You guys retreat, I can take down the Ma Yong escort myself."
"Hahaha, Tang Changan, you What nonsense are you talking about? You alone want to take it. Damn it, you're dreaming!" Ma Yongbiao sneered, holding the poison and threatening: "If you don't want to die with Tang Chang'an, stop this bastard immediately!"
Still want to intimidate them into taking action against the shopkeeper?
The people in the carriage shop were angry: "Ma Yongbing, don't just try to deceive people with a package of fake medicine. Let me tell you, even if it is real poison, we will not abandon the shopkeeper!"
< br>
"A bunch of ungrateful people, you deserve to die!" Ma Yongbang was completely angered. After taking the antidote, he opened the medicine bag and prepared to throw poison to harm others.
What a pity...
Whoosh!
A sharp arrow came and pierced his arm directly. The poison fell and the poison powder flew. All the thugs in Jinfu Gambling House were harmed by the poison. They all had difficulty breathing and knelt down twitching.
“Damn, this Ma Yong Biao really dares to use poison to kill people!” Gao Baihu was shocked and praised Jiang Dalang again: “Boy Jiang, your archery skills are really great, you can subdue Ma Yong Biao with one arrow.”
