Chapter 35: Arresting Zhang Chi
The quiet night, the faint moonlight.
It seems that the light has been removed during the day
The noise drew the voices.
In the Zhang Mansion, it was pitch black. Only the servant who was at night at the second door was dozing off, wrapped his cotton coat on his body, and headed towards the bedroom with an angry wind light.
Zhang Mu stood in the kitchen, behind him was Ergouzi tied into rice dumplings. He had a rag stuffed in his mouth, and hesitated and didn't know what he was scolding.
Tao Xingchang was wearing a neat short stroke, wrapped in leggings, holding a simple knife in his hand, and listening quietly to the movements in the yard.
"Zhang Mu, will this Zhang Chi not come?" Tao Xingchang asked in a low voice.
"Absolutely, I'm afraid that Zhang Ao's body is burying now, and it will come soon." Zhang Mu said softly, but Zhang Mu looked into the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He thought that Zhang Chi would definitely come to Zhang Mansion to kill people to silence him. The only miscalculation was that Tao Xingchang did not alarm the county government, but wanted to arrest him with his own people. This really fulfilled the saying: I am not afraid of opponents like gods, but I am afraid of teammates like pigs.
Zhang Mu originally planned to go to Zhang Ao's family to catch people, but Zhang Chi could not escape. Now that he doesn't go to alarm the county government, Zhang Mu speculated that he was very likely to be afraid of alarming the snake. After all, Zhang Chi was just a small fish, and the power behind Zhang Chi was their target.
But at present, Tao Xingchang only brought five or six people, although they were all equipped with divine arm crossbows, Zhang Mu was still worried that he would not be able to deal with Zhang Chi.
After all, Zhang Chi had to kill all the people this time and fought for his life. If he didn't do it well, he would bring all his brothers to him. At that time, he would rely on these five or six people to catch turtles in a jar, but he turned out to be a sheep and a tiger's mouth.
Tao Xingchang brought everyone to the eaves and was on guard carefully. There was only one Jinyiwei sitting upright on the kitchen bench with a big horse with a golden sword.
Zhang Mu didn't know his origin, but looking at Tao Xingchang's words and deeds, he seemed to be particularly careful about this person. Zhang Mu guessed that this person should be Tao Xingchang's boss. Judging from his appearance, he was calm and composed, as if he was sure to be able to capture it.
Yan Su hugged his Chuanshui Liu expressionlessly. Although he looked at Yun Danfengqing on the surface, Zhang Mu found that her legs were trembling slightly and couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Yan, you have prepared all the firewood I asked you to prepare?" Zhang Mu asked in a low voice.
"What are you preparing firewood and grass?" Tao Xingchang asked.
"Zhang Chi is cruel and ruthless. I'm afraid the situation will get out of control later, so I made some preparations." Zhang Mu said in a low voice.
"Several rebels of the White Lotus Sect are worthy of mobilizing such a group of troops? We can kill him alone." Tao Xingchang said indifferently.
Zhang Mu knew that Tao Xingchang was eager to make contributions and wanted to show his performance in front of his boss. He couldn't help but reminded him: "Mr. Tao, I think it's better to notify the county government. Zhang Chi has been operating locally for many years. If he has brought many people, we may not be able to deal with it."
"Hmph, what do you know about the Huangkou boy? Let you see the power of our Jinyiwei later. Let me tell you that my brothers are all born in the army. Not to mention a few little thieves, even if they go to the battlefield, they will make the enemy scared." Tao Xingchang said proudly.
When Zhang Mu heard this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Idiot, who is really unlucky to be your subordinate? I hope you will show your power in a while and don't end up being Zhang Chi's sword ghost."
"Cuckoo Cuckoo." At this time, a few cuckoo songs came from the eaves. Everyone in the kitchen became alert. Yan Su instantly pulled out the water cut off and took a deep breath to stabilize his mind.
This is the secret code of the Jinyiwei, telling the people in the kitchen that someone has come in.
However, what happened next was something that made everyone in the kitchen gasp.
I only heard the screams of sparrows coming from the eaves, which were rushed and short, which meant that there were more than ten people coming from the other party, less than twenty, so it was a problem now.
Tao Xingchang probably didn't expect such a thing to happen. His face turned pale. He guessed that Zhang Chi could bring at most five or six people, after all, the city gate was closed, and one-on-one problem was not big.
But now there are more than a dozen people on the other side, and this is going to be in big trouble.
At this moment, Han Fangshan, who had been sitting upright on the bench, also stood up, pulled out the Xiuchun knife on his body, glared at Tao Xingchang fiercely and said, "Stay calm, let them pass the kitchen."
Zhang Mu knew that he was going to fight back, and he felt so cruel that he was itchy at all. He planned it perfectly, and he was messed up by this second-hand man Tao Xingchang.
"Sir, fighting hard is not a solution. Even if the brothers are all skilled in martial arts, they will lose to four hands after all. If Zhang Chi can get it again, the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhang Mu hurriedly said to Han Fangshan. After all, there are dozens of lives in the yard, and the old patriarch and Wang Hongtai's family are here, so they are not careless.
"Zhang Mu, are you going to the other side?" Tao Xingchang frowned and drank.
"Do you have any other way?" Han Fangshan asked in a low voice at this time.
"There are many people, and we can't be able to defeat the enemy, but we can only be smart. I piled up a lot of horse grass and dry firewood in Tinghexuan. After a while, I will lead them to Tinghexuan and you will set fire outside. I have my own way out. At that time, they will be blocked inside, and we have crossbows, and we will guard outside, so we won't have to worry about not being able to deal with them." Zhang Mu said hurriedly.
"It's too dangerous." Yan Su hurriedly frowned and persuaded.
"Doctors of my Zhang family are here. I can't watch my father's tragedy repeat. This is the matter." After Zhang Mu said that, he took off his clothes, soaked them in the oil tank in the kitchen, then wrapped them with dry firewood, made a torch and threw them into the stove and lit them.
Without saying a word, Han Fangshan immediately took off his clothes to make a torch. When Tao Xingchang saw this, he dared to say nothing, so he gritted his teeth and took off the short stroke he had just done.
Zhang Mu took a deep breath, then pushed open the kitchen door and rushed out.
At this moment, Zhang Chi and his brothers carefully touched them. At this moment, he suddenly saw a person flashing out of the kitchen. He thought it was Ergouzi, but when he looked closely, it turned out to be Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu held up the torch, turned around and ran away. When Zhang Chi saw him, he wanted to peel him off and cramp him, and immediately chased him.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Mu ran into Tinghexuan. At this moment, there were horses and dry firewood around Tinghexuan and in the room. Zhang Mu bumped into the door and jumped out of the back window without saying a word. Then he went to the backyard, threw the torch into the hay, and followed the sycamore tree and flipped out of the yard wall.
At this time, Zhang Chi and his brothers had just entered Ting Hexuan and rushed into the room. When Zhang Chi saw the horse grass all over the ground, she immediately took a deep breath and said, "No, I'm fooled."
At this time, Han Fangshan, who was blocking outside the yard, threw the torch into the yard without saying a word.
The fire of dry fire burned at once, and the northwest wind blew, and the fire in Tinghexuan soared into the sky.
"Run out." Zhang Chi gave the order, and more than a dozen desperate people rushed towards the door.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
The Jinyiwei guard guarding outside the door immediately launched a crossbow, and the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air was endless.
