When Li Qing heard the sound, he saw that his whole body was dry, as if a layer of skin was stretched onto the skeleton, and the whole skeleton was a skeleton. Li Qing suddenly remembered that this person was the skeleton of Daoren Hall who had received his favor and fled to a foreign land after the Wangjiang Restaurant incident.

"Are you a skeleton?" Li Qing asked hesitantly.

"It's me! It's me!" The skeleton was surprised and happy and jumped in front of Li Qing.

It is always a happy thing to meet an old friend in a foreign land. Li Qing punched him gently, for fear of pounding his skeleton apart.

"Why don't you run farther and aren't you afraid of being caught by the government?"

The skeleton smiled and showed his white teeth, "The wanted was just a gust of wind. The government has long forgotten me. My mother is from Nanxi County. I have grown up here since I was a child. I am more suitable for me to come here."

Li Qing glanced at a group of porters standing blankly behind him and smiled, "What? Are you tired of being a gangster boss? Now he is actually a porter."

The skeleton glanced at his subordinates, then lowered his voice for a while and said, "Actually, I didn't change my career. I continued to do it. They are all my brothers. We were originally making a living at the pier in Nanxi County. In the past two months, the pier was under military control. The brothers had no food to eat, so they went to the official road to be a porter, earn some hard money, and then put some oil on the way."

Li Qing couldn't help laughing and said, "I want to apply some oil and earn some hard-earned money!"

The skeleton also laughed twice, and suddenly remembered something again and said anxiously: "Just just heard that Li Dongzhu calls himself an official, is it possible for Li Dongzhu to become an official?"

Li Qing nodded: "I am now the chief clerk of Yibin County."

The skeleton was overjoyed. Nanxi County Wharf was under military control. He wanted to take his brothers to Yibin County Wharf, but he was afraid of the Tang County Magistrate there and never dared to go. Now Li Qing is the chief clerk of Yibin County, so can he also benefit from it?

"Master Li Dong, no! Lord Li, I want to ask you something." The skeleton invited Li Qing to the side, nodded and bowed: "Can Mr. Li tell the Prince Tang, let us also go to Yibin County Wharf to have some food."

Li Qing suddenly remembered something and asked calmly: "How many people do you have in total?"

"I have eighteen brothers under my command."

Li Qing nodded and thought to himself: "Tang Sheng just needs a group of people who can do secret things. It seems that God wants to fulfill me, so he actually sent them to me."

Thinking of this, Li Qing smiled and said, "It's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign land. You come to my mansion tomorrow night. I have something to say to you." He took out another sting and handed it, patted the skeleton on the shoulder and smiled and said, "A man should make a fortune and marry a peerless beauty. The opportunity is right in front of you, and you have to seize it."

After saying that, he laughed, got on the carriage and left slowly, leaving a skeleton standing stupidly, recalling his words, "A man should make a fortune and marry a peerless beauty." The skeleton's eyes gradually lit up.

******************

Tang Sheng was worried these two days. He had just received an urgent case from the Chengdu Emeitang. The leader of the Min Gang suddenly died suddenly. The Min Gang had already determined that it was the Emeitang's attack. Seeing that the storm that had not been encountered in decades was about to be kicked off, Emeitang immediately mobilized gang members from all over the country to return to Chengdu to fight.

Tang Sheng was like a wild dog that had been beaten up with his tail drooping. His men were exposed, and only five or six people were left. He did not dare to be arrogant. His plans to deal with Wang Changling and Li Qing were also stranded. He also patrolled the streets every day as if he was a decent day to maintain social security.

He had another chance, that is, the annual imperial examination class was about to begin. The county magistrate of Yibin County was neglected from government affairs and would have to go to the exam. According to the Tang system, he would be demoted or dismissed. At that time, the position of the county magistrate was vacant. Li Daofu had already agreed to recommend him. Tang Sheng knew that this was the wind blowing by his daughter's pillow. Hehe! You have the recommendation of the governor, I have the recommendation of the governor of Yizhou, I have the guarantee of the King of Sining, and I have the recommendation of the Prime Minister of Li, and I want to see whether Yibin County is surnamed Tang or Li.

His heart began to heat up again. He seemed to see himself sitting in the seat of the county magistrate to give orders, stepping on Li Qing with his left foot and Wang Changling with his right foot. At first, his worries gradually dissipated. It was almost dusk, and the long yellow light of the sun setting in the west was revealed from the gaps of the clouds. Tang Sheng was refreshed and smiled at his subordinates: "I treat you today. Let's go to Minyi Tower to have a good time, and then go to the Tinghua Tower to have fun, haha!" Several subordinates were overjoyed and clamored to join Tang Sheng.

It was already very deep at night. The dock was quiet. The twilight was vast and the night was getting thicker. The gradually rounded moon hid in the vast western sky of the sea of ​​clouds. On the other side of the dock were neatly placed military products that had not been transported. The wide wooden boards were like stiff skirts, surrounding the military products tightly. More than a dozen soldiers who were watching the night were divided into five groups and guarded the dock. In the northwest corner, two soldiers guarded it. The war had been on the battlefield for more than a month and had not stopped. The soldiers patrolled every day, and were on duty every night. There had never been any accidents and gradually began to become dull.

Suddenly, two black shadows rushed along the corner of the street, and they stopped ten feet away from the military yard. They slowly poked their heads out of the darkness to observe the movements. After a long time, they waved backwards. More than a dozen black shadows appeared in the night sky a hundred steps away, and their movements were equally agile. They were wearing night clothes and thick-soled soft shoes. They made only rustling sounds when they ran. They stopped at the corner of the street, and a carriage followed quietly. The following thing was to deal with the two guards. However, they did not take action. A huge black shadow suddenly appeared behind the two soldiers, extremely fast, as if they were ghosts. Only a faint figure appeared faintly, but wherever they were, they could not see. A group of men in black at the corner of the street were secretly talking. This was the first time that the assassin with such superb methods.

Two soldiers on duty squeezed into one place and dozed off. Sometimes they woke up and looked around, but they didn't know that the danger had come quietly. The ghost seemed to not want to kill the two soldiers, so they just slowly approached. Suddenly, the two soldiers' heads collided heavily, and the two immediately fell to the ground like soft mud. More than a dozen men in black rushed towards each other, drawing out their knives and cutting the wooden boards and drilled in. Soon, holding various weapons in their hands, they were placed in the car on the corner of the street. The people immediately ran back, their movements were tense and quick. It was obvious that the group of people had extremely rich experience in doing secret things. After moving three times, the people, cars and weapons disappeared into the vast night. The last one left was the ghost. At the moment it disappeared, a small waist sign was stuffed into the hand of a soldier.

As soon as dawn, abnormal movements appeared on the military dock. A large group of soldiers landed on the shore. Then the river was blocked, and officers and soldiers appeared in the city gate. Teams of soldiers began to smash the door from door to door to search, and the door was smashed to the sky. Wang Changling and Li Qing were called to the military camp as local officials to question.

"Someone stole weapons last night, and there were a total of 641 weapons missing. Do you know what the consequences are?"

The commander Guoyi, who was stationed in Yibin County, had a gloomy face and stared at them with a fierce look. The thieves did not steal food or cloth, but instead stole the weapons that had been numbered, which made him unable to hide. If he did not recover the stolen weapons this time, this crime of dereliction of duty in wartime would be absent. He had been ordered by his superiors to recover the weapons within three days, otherwise military law would be carried out.

"Mr. Wang, the consequences of this matter are very serious, especially during wartime. If you cannot recover these weapons, not only me, but you may not be able to escape. I hope you can cooperate and let us settle the matter together."

Wang Changling was angry that the army had trespassed into the house. Suddenly, he heard that the weapons were stolen, and there were more than 600 pieces. He was shocked and thought about various possibilities quickly in his mind. If it were a few, it could be regarded as a result of some local scoundrels, but hundreds of weapons were missing. This was definitely not as simple as personal interest. To put it seriously, it could even be mentioned that the word "rebellion" was the ones who were doing it?" Wang Changling suddenly had an idea that only they had this need in Yibin County. These weapons were most likely stolen by those Liao people who lived in the village at night.

"General Wu, maybe this has something to do with the Liaoren."

"Liu Ren?" Commander Guoyi was confused.

"I thought this was not what Liaoren did. If Liaoren wanted weapons, they could buy them. There was no need to steal weapons. If it was confirmed, it was a crime of rebellion. They should not be so stupid." Li Qing saw that Wang Changling was distracted and rushed to the topic.

"Then what good ideas does Chief Li have?"

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if the thief left any clues?"

A sentence reminded Guoyi that he urgently took out the waist card left at the scene.

"This is the sign taken from the evil man when the night watchman was fighting against the evil man. I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't know what it was. You two can refer to it."

"This is a license plate, I seem to have seen it somewhere?"

Commander Guoyi was overjoyed and stared at Li Qing. Li Qing handed the wooden sign to Wang Changling again, but his eyebrows were twisted into a line, as if he was falling into deep thoughts.

Wang Changling took it and looked carefully. It was a wooden sign that was a size of an inch. It was pitch black all over. The front said 'No. 163' and a mountain was engraved on the back. He stared at the mountain for a long time and suddenly said, "This mountain seems to be Mount Emei."

"I remembered it!" Li Qing cried out, "I have seen this brand by chance in Chengdu. It is the license plate of the Chengdu gang Emeitang. It took too long and I almost forgot it. Fortunately, Wang County Magistrate reminded me."

Commander Guoyi frowned and said, "The Chengdu gangsters came to Yibin County to steal weapons."

Li Qing only glanced at Wang Changling indifferently and said nothing. Wang Changling suddenly understood that it was necessary to say that this must have been done by Tang Sheng. He was the only one in Yibin County that has something to do with Emeitang. In the past few days, his minions have disappeared inexplicably, which must have something to do with this matter.

He was a rectal man. When he thought of the answer, he urged: "General Wu, please recall all the soldiers! I know who did this."

"Who is it?"

Wang Changling attached himself to the ear of the commander Guoyi and said a few words. After hearing this, the commander Guoyi was extremely surprised: "He is a dignified county lieutenant, can he actually be involved in gangs?"

Wang Changling nodded and said, "This matter is absolutely true. I dare to use the position of county magistrate to guarantee it."

"With the integrity of the county magistrate Wang, I must say nothing, I believe it." The commander Guoyi walked out of the tent and shouted murderously: "Come on! Go search and arrest people with me."—
