Chapter 698 Tracking
When the bully wanted to kill Liao Jingtang, he also fell into the trap discussed by Qi Mei Dongfangyi and Liao Jingtang.
The three people deliberately went to the temple to burn incense in order to lure the bullies into action.
When dozens of bandits came out and surrounded the two carriages, Dongfang Yi blew a whistle, and then, behind the bandits, a group of people also came out.
This group of people are friends that Dongfang Yi and Qi Mei made in the arena. There are not many people, only about a dozen. However, their martial arts are much higher than those of the bandits. They are not as good as those raised by bullies. Passed.
After arresting dozens of bandits, one of them confessed to the bully. The evidence was conclusive. Liao Jingtang ordered the arrest of the bully without saying a word.
The officials in the prefecture's yamen were all bribed by bullies. Liao Jingtang gave the order, but no official dared to carry it out. Liao Jingtang was so angry that he wanted to fire them all and punish them for their crimes. Only then did the officials become afraid and hesitated. I went to the bully's house and caught the bully.
When the bully was caught, the bully resisted and refused to admit guilt. In the end, Dongfang Yi took action, knocked out the bully, and threw him into the prison. Only then was he able to suppress the bully who wanted to bite Liao Jingtang back.
Liao Jingtang acted resolutely and quickly. After catching the bully, he was sentenced in court within three days. The crimes committed by the bully were posted on the gate of the magistrate's office one by one, and then he was sentenced to death.
The bully's family wrote to the capital to bring in reinforcements. When the bully's brother-in-law sent someone to intercede, the bully's body was rotting.
The bully's home was also ransacked, and the land he occupied from the people was returned to the people one by one based on the evidence of the crime. The money he stole from the people was also returned to the people one by one, so that Liao Jingtang got the local land as soon as he arrived in Mianyang City. The praise and love of the common people.
When the other local gangsters saw that Liao Jingtang had eliminated all the bullies, they were even more afraid to move around.
Since then, Mianyang City has been peaceful for several years.
After Liao Jingtang killed the bully, Qi Mei was worried that the bully's brother-in-law would secretly retaliate against him, so she specially invited two martial arts friends who were good at martial arts and voluntarily stayed to live in the Yamen to protect the safety of Liao Jingtang and his wife.
Liao Jingtang, who had no one around him, was very happy to have two masters stay. Not only did he take care of their food, drink and accommodation, but he also gave each of them a monthly allowance of ten taels of silver.
This is much better than the days when the two of them were just messing around in the world.
The two received the favor and willingly worked for Liao Jingtang. In the past few years, they had helped Liao Jingtang a lot and became Liao Jingtang's right-hand assistants. The two beautiful maids sent by Mrs. Liao were taken over by Liao Jingtang. As a reward, they were given the title of maidservant.
"Liao Jingtang's upright temperament, fearlessness of power, and wisdom in doing things are indeed overqualified in a small and remote place like Mianyang City." Chu Jingqi said seriously, and then added, "Perhaps Dasheng can still A second Mr. Chuge can be born.”
Xia Zihan was startled.
Then, he laughed and said, "Even if it is not because he is my cousin's husband, but because he has the same character as my grandfather, we also helped Liao Jingtang."
"Well, I will tell the emperor about this after I return to Beijing."
The next day, the snow stopped and the long-lost sun came out. Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi said goodbye to Liao Jingtang, Zheng Wenting and others and left.
Zeng Jing said with a look of reluctance, "Cousin, please be careful along the way."
"Yes, I will." Xia Zihan smiled, "I will meet you soon, and then I will visit your house again."
Zeng Jing didn't understand the meaning of her words at first, but when she understood, she looked surprised, bowed deeply with gratitude, and choked with sobs, "My cousin, my husband's kindness, my husband and I will never forget it."
"They are all our sisters. I am happy that you are doing well." Xia Zihan hurriedly helped her up.
On the other side, Liao Jingtang also bowed deeply and thanked Chu Jingqi.
Chu Jingqi said, "This is definitely possible, but where we go depends on the emperor's wishes."
"I know." Liao Jingtang said, "As long as it's not the capital, any of the nearby cities will do."
As for Jingcheng, he will not go back until her grandmother changes her attitude towards them as a couple.
Speaking of which, he was unfilial to his grandmother, but Zeng Jing was so filial to her grandmother, so why was her grandmother so vicious and harsh to Zeng Jing?
It is natural to respect the old and love the young, and to be filial to the younger generation. However, the elders should also love the younger generation and not be harsh on the younger generation.
If grandma continues to rely on her old age and treat her harshly and viciously, then why should he continue to be foolish and filial?
If the consequences of being foolish and filial were to lose Zeng Jing, then he would rather be an unfilial grandson.
Grandma's side, even without him at her side, is her father, several of his uncles, his mother, several of his aunts, his eldest brother, sister-in-law, several cousins, and a lot of people.
As for Zeng Jing, he was the only one.
Therefore, he chose Zeng Jing.
Zheng Wenting glared at Xia Zihan with great resentment, "You really want to leave early and not come with us?"
"For the safety of the convoy and for you not to be implicated by us, we'd better take the first step." Then, imitating the people in the world, Xia Zihan clasped his hands and said to Li Sangwu and Zheng Wenting, "Everyone, see you in the capital."
"Bon voyage." Li Sangwu clasped his fists.
Knowing that she would not change her attention, Zheng Wenting was extremely disappointed and said worriedly, "There are only four of you. If the No. 1 Building in the World really sends a killer, you few..."
Then, remembering how powerful Chu Jingqi was, he stopped mid-sentence and changed his words, "Be careful along the way. If something happens, go to Zheng's store and get this. They will help you." He put on his belt. He took off a piece of jade pendant and handed it to Chu Jingqi.
The reason why she didn't hand it to Xia Zihan was because she thought that as a married woman, it would be difficult for her to accept his jade pendant.
Chu Jingqi glanced at the jade pendant and originally wanted to refuse it, but Xia Zihan had already spoken, "Thank you very much. When we get to the capital, I will treat you to Juxiang Tower for dinner."
"It's a deal." Zheng Wenting raised a smile between his eyebrows.
The two of them had agreed that if Chu Jingqi didn't take it, he would look petty.
He waved his hand and accepted the jade pendant.
He didn't like Xia Zihan and kept talking to Zheng Wenting. He put his arms around her, jumped up, and flew out more than ten meters away.
Ma Bao and Chu Fei, each carrying a burden, also flew after him.
Zheng Wenting looked at their retreating figures with a dull look on his face, and his eyes were full of loss and gloom.
Li Sangwu came over, sighed secretly, and said, "Don't look, they have gone far, we should go back and prepare, and we should set off tomorrow."
……
The four of them, Xia Zihan, did not ride in the carriage. It had been snowing heavily for several days, and the snow on the ground reached to their knees. Xia Zihan and his wife disliked the slow journey of horseback riding and carriage, so they might as well use Qinggong to fly.
As soon as the four of them flew out of Mianyang City, they noticed a few small tails following them. After Chu Jingqi and Xia Zihan looked at each other, they speeded up so as not to lose the small tails behind them.
After walking for a long time, when passing by a mountain col, Xia Zihan's speed suddenly slowed down a lot, and he shouted, "Aqi, I'm tired, let's take a rest."
"Okay, there is a big tree over there. Let's go sit in the tree for a while." Chu Jingqi said cooperatively.
The four of them jumped onto the big tree, each chose a thick branch, and sat cross-legged to meditate.
After just a cup of tea, suddenly, a sharp sound of wind came straight to Xia Zihan's back.
She opened her eyes slightly, and a sharp gaze shot out from her eyes, which was even sharper than the hidden weapon flying towards her back.
At the moment when the hidden weapon was about to be inserted into her back, her body suddenly rose up into the sky, like a beautiful butterfly, spinning gracefully in the air for several times, and then gently fell into the sky. Caught her in Chu Jingqi's arms.
At the same time, Ma Bao and Chu Fei also got up and flew towards the place where the hidden weapon came from.
Hearing the sound of fighting, Xia Zihan said with cold disgust, "Aqi, let's go over and take a look."
Of the thirty secret guards, Chu Jingqi brought twenty, leaving the remaining ten for the convoy to guard Xia Zihan's ten carts of goods.
And these twenty secret guards were the most outspoken among the secret guards. After Xia Zihan and the four left Mianyang City and were followed, the secret guards received orders from Chu Jingqi and followed those people. .
When the other party sent concealed weapons to Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi, the secret guards blocked their retreat.
Ma Bao and Chu Fei rushed over again, blocking their way forward. There were tigers in front and wolves behind, and the six killers were surrounded by them.
When Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi rushed to the battlefield, the snow on the ground was swept into the air by their fierce fighting.
Amidst the white snow and colorful falling snow, dozens of people were fighting extremely fiercely.
There is no doubt that the six people who assassinated them this time were still the best killers in the world. The day after they arrived in Mianyang City to settle down, they were stared at by the best killers in the world. However, the two of them They hid in the house and never came out, and there were secret guards guarding the outside of their house. The killer on the first floor of the world wandered around for two days without finding an opportunity to strike.
This time, there were only six killers sent by the First Floor in the World, but their martial arts were much stronger than the killers last time. It took three secret guards of the Chu family to beat one person.
Ma Bao and Chu Fei joined forces to stop one.
Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi were watching the fight. They did not take action at first. However, after fighting for a while, two more killers came flying in. The martial arts of these two people were so high that the secret guards could not resist them. Only then did Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi both fight. Entered the battle situation.
Chu Jingqi said to Xia Zihan, "Be careful."
"Well, you too."
The couple rushed into the battle.
One of the six killers in front was surprised when he saw the two people behind him, "Guardians on the left and right, why are you here?"
One of the two killers snorted and said coldly, "If we don't come, can you complete the mission with just you guys?"
