In the night, a group of people ran over. The first one was Bai Shenghao. When he saw the people in the Shenhou Mansion, he was not surprised. Instead, he raised his hands to everyone and said, "Thank you for drawing your sword for help." He caught a glimpse of Suzaku sitting on the ground and hurriedly stepped forward. Seeing the bleeding in his abdomen, he said anxiously: "Elder, you...?" In his desperation, he didn't even bother to address him.
Suzaku shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. Fortunately, everyone from the Shenhou Mansion came to the rescue."
Bai Shenghao said: "An ambush has been set up in the palace long ago. We all fell into the trap. The brothers suffered heavy losses. If...if the Shenhou Palace hadn't helped, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Suzaku nodded slightly. This was no different from what he had guessed, and asked, "How many people are left?"
"We have lost dozens of brothers, but with the help of the people from the Shenhou Mansion, we have almost cleared out the ambush group." Bai Shenghao said: "But... we still don't know where that person is."
Han Tianxiao had already said: "The Beggar Clan will go to Xiyuan. Leave the other places to our Shenhou Mansion. Let's search together. If we see the emperor, we will send a signal."
When Bai Shenghao heard this, he knew that the Shenhou Mansion already knew who the Beggar Gang was looking for. He knew that time was running out and there was no time to delay. He said to Suzaku: "The elder is here to heal his wounds. I will immediately lead people to find the emperor." He stood up and approached Han Tianxiao. He bowed his hands and without delay, led his men away in a hurry.
During a fierce battle in the Huainan Palace, the atmosphere in the Rising Sun Escort Bureau was also grim.
Ding Yitu stared at the middle-aged man opposite, with cold eyes, but suddenly smiled and said: "Thanks for being so fond of the Rising Sun Escort Agency, since you insist on taking this escort trip, you should tell your true identity, otherwise brother It’s really unjustifiable that we don’t even know who we are working for.”
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "I'm just an ordinary businessman. It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that this thing in my hand must be given away."
"Your Excellency has hidden his head and tail. Are you afraid that the drunkard's intentions are not in the bar?" Ding Yitu raised his hand and stroked his beard: "Actually, it is not difficult to know where your Excellency came from." He clapped his hands and left. Several people rushed in from outside the door. Ding Yitu said with a smile: "Before joining the escort agency, these few were all famous heroes in the world. They also know a little bit about the martial arts of each sect. Since you don't want to say it yourself, just Let them try your skills."
The middle-aged man sighed: "The world is declining. Will the Rising Sun Escort Agency take action against the guests who come to the door?"
Ding Yitu showed murderous intent in his eyes and sneered: "If you are really a good friend, of course you will treat me well, but if you want to come to look for trouble, that is a different story." With a wink, the three men who rushed in all Without hesitation, he slashed at the middle-aged man with his sword.
The middle-aged man kicked off his feet and rose up from the chair. He was in the air and with one kick, the chair flew straight towards the person in front of him.
This is a mahogany chair. It is very heavy. When it flew out, it was whistling in the wind. The person who slashed it with his knife first made a "click" sound and split the mahogany chair into two halves. Lifting, he rowed towards the middle-aged man in mid-air.
The middle-aged man laughed and spun half in the air. The big knife came towards him. The middle-aged man dodged it with a twist. When it fell, his toes were on the blade. Before the man could put away the knife, he kicked it. When he went out, he hit the door in front of the man. The man screamed and was kicked out.
The two companions behind him slashed diagonally with their swords, one from the left and the other from the right. However, the middle-aged man had already used the force of the kick to jump back and landed on the table in the middle of the hall. He said with a smile: "Mr. Ding, head escort." , it seems that the martial arts skills of the escorts in your escort agency are really ordinary, I am worried that if this escort trip is handed over to you, will it go smoothly?"
"Sure enough, we are here to cause trouble." Bai Li, the deputy chief escort, shouted and was about to rush over. At this moment, he heard a gunshot coming from outside the door, and then someone reported outside the door: "Chief escort, outside … There are officials outside!”
Ding Yitu was startled, wondering how an official could come here at this time. He became suspicious, but he already heard heavy knocking on the main door of the Escort Bureau. He even heard someone outside the door saying loudly: "Open the door quickly. We have an official mission from Kyoto Prefecture. Open the door quickly." !”
Bai Li was also surprised. He looked at Ding Yitu and Ding Yitu said in a deep voice, "Open the door!"
Immediately word spread outside, and soon he saw a commotion outside. Then he saw a group of Kyoto government officials coming to the hall surrounded by a person. Ding Yitu saw that the person was wearing an official robe. He didn't look at the face, but only looked at the person. The skirt of his clothes is none other than Kyoto Prefecture Yin Tiezheng.
Ding Yituwan did not expect that Tie Zheng would bring someone to the door at this time. He was very surprised, but he still stepped forward and said, "But Lord Tie of Kyoto Prefecture?"
Tie Zheng glanced at the hall and said, "Mr. Ding, what are you doing?"
Bai Li had already said: "Master Tie, these people came here to escort the guards, but they deliberately found trouble and had evil intentions. Please ask Master Tie to take these people back to Kyoto Mansion and interrogate them."
The middle-aged man had jumped off the table and said with a grimace: "Master Tie, don't listen to them when they wrongly accuse us. We heard that the Rising Sun Escort Bureau has a lot of connections, so we wanted to hire them to escort us, but they not only wanted to retain the escort, but also Falsely accusing us of coming to the door to cause trouble, this... This is really a huge injustice, I hope Lord Tie will look into it."
Tie Zheng frowned and asked Ding Yitu: "Mr. Ding, head escort, it's fine if you don't want to do this business. We are guests here, so why bother with them?"
What kind of person is Ding Yitu? First, this middle-aged man came to make trouble, and now Tie Zheng actually came with a large number of people from Kyoto Prefecture at this time. He immediately knew that something was wrong, and said with a smile: "Master Tie is right. He said to the middle-aged man: "I'm really sorry, sir. We can't handle this escort. If you feel neglected, I'll apologize to you. Please don't blame me."
Tie Zheng nodded and said, "Don't dwell on this matter anymore."
Ding Yitu said: "Master Tie came to visit in person, I wonder what you are doing?"
"Mr. Escort Ding, please come with us now. Let's go to Kyoto Mansion to talk." Tie Zheng remained calm and collected from beginning to end.
Ding Yitu frowned and said: "Going to Kyoto Prefecture? Sir, this... I really don't understand. Could it be that I have a lawsuit?"
"Mr. Escort Chief Ding, do you still remember that two years ago, one of your escort teams was suddenly robbed on its way back to Beijing from Huize City. Everyone in the escort team was killed and all the goods were looted?" Tie Zheng said. : "Let you come over tonight, that's it. Originally, I could have sent someone over to invite you over, but I just happened to bring someone over here, so I will take you back with me."
Ding Yitu said in surprise: "What happened two years ago?"
"Yes." Tie Zheng said: "We have got some clues about this matter, but we still need your cooperation." He raised his hand and said: "Please!"
Ding Yitu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Master Tie, I am not offending the common people, but the common people have something to do tonight. Early tomorrow morning, the common people will definitely go to Kyoto in person. Whatever you want to know, the common people will definitely know everything by then. There is no limit to what I can say.”
"Mr. Escort Ding, I'll give you the face, but you have to keep it." A Kyoto policeman behind Tiezheng said solemnly: "My lord, you don't have time all the time. It's hard to find time to ask about this tonight. , you are still pushing back and forth, what do you mean?"
"There is no other meaning." Ding Yitu said: "It's really because I have something to do. My lord, it has been two years since this matter. Even if you want to continue to investigate, there is no need to rush. It will not be too late to investigate again when the lord is free." .”
The catcher sneered and said, "Do you have the final say on when the murder case will be investigated?"
Tie Zheng, however, had a cold face and said nothing.
Bai Li suddenly said: "Master Tie, that escort team was sent by the common people at that time. The common people know everything before and after. The common people will go to the Yamen with you. I know everything the chief escort knows, and I don't know what he doesn't know." Everyone knows that if it is to investigate this case, ordinary people are the best candidates for questioning."
Ding Yitu also nodded and said: "That's right, Chief Bai is very familiar with what happened back then, so...!"
"Ding Yitu, it's not just these things." Tie Zheng said coldly: "Investigating the murder case of that year is certainly one thing, but there is another thing. You must go back to Kyoto with us to assist in the investigation." He stared at him with his eyes. Ding Yitu: "I heard that the Rising Sun Escort Agency smuggled weapons under the guise of escorts. Is this possible?"
Ding Yitu's expression suddenly changed and he immediately said: "Sir, there are some things you cannot say casually."
"I heard that some generals of the Qinhuai Army were so bold that they secretly stole the weapons from the general's camp and used escorts to transport the weapons back to the capital." Tie Zheng said slowly: "This matter not only involves the generals of the Qinhuai Army, but also The General of the Tiger God Camp who is stationed at the city gate, and your Rising Sun Escort Agency are involved in this, so naturally you have to explain this matter clearly."
Ding Yitu's face also turned cold, and he said: "If you say that, sir, you can bring out evidence. If it can be proved that the Rising Sun Escort Agency has done such a thing, Ding is willing to submit to the law, otherwise...!" His eyes were cold and awe-inspiring: "Sir, It’s better to take back these words.”
"If you want evidence, go to Kyoto Prefecture with me." Tie Zheng said, "When you get to Kyoto Prefecture, I will naturally show you the evidence."
Ding Yitu turned around, walked to the chair, sat down, and sneered: "What if Ding doesn't go?"
After he finished speaking, the head catcher of Kyoto Prefecture pulled out his knife with a "choking" sound. The more than twenty catchers accompanying him also held down the handle of the knife. Ding Yitu snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "Come on. People!" Suddenly a large group of people sprang out from all around, all of them were bodyguards and escorts from the Rising Sun Escort Agency. There was a large group of people, at least forty or fifty people.
Tie Zheng glanced at it and said with a smile: "Ding Yitu, do you want to rebel?"
"Master Tie has no evidence and actually slandered the Rising Sun Escort Agency for smuggling weapons." Ding Yitu sat upright on his chair and said calmly: "Ding is a soldier and will not be wronged. If Master Tie insists on persecution, he can take it now. He took Ding's head off his neck." He glanced at Tie Zheng and said meaningfully: "Master Tie, Ding advises you to go back to Kyoto and think about it first. Tomorrow, if you think Ding is guilty, I won't let you go. Come and invite me, as long as you send one person over, Ding will come to prove your innocence, tonight... Ding won’t go anywhere!”
