Chapter 53(2/2)
But seeing Wang Zhi and his team from far to near, first shooting arrows to establish their authority, and then joining the battle, Suizhou and others instantly crushed Deng Xiucai and the others in terms of numbers as if they were divinely helped.
The two sides fight together, and victory or defeat is only a matter of time.
But Tang Fan was anxious. He took advantage of the time when Deng Xiucai and his friends had no time to take care of him and ran to the carriage carrying the children, for fear that the children would be taken hostage by the Nancheng Gangs who were anxious to jump over the wall.
But Adong, who was supposed to be tied up, was squatting inside and looking out. There were several heads hidden behind her, and the children were tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, with their expressions of fear.
The reason why they were able to move freely was that the porcelain pieces left by Tang Fan for A Dong just now played a role. After Xiao A Dong took advantage of the chaos to untie himself and loosened the other friends.
This undoubtedly saved a lot of time. Tang Fan was very happy and ran to the side of the carriage, followed by A Dong and the other children one by one, and asked A Dong to take them behind the big stone next to him to hide them, telling them not to come out unless the bad guy is executed.
Just as he was giving his sincere advice, Suizhou shouted loudly: "Runqing let go!"
Tang Fan turned around suddenly and saw Deng Xiucai running towards him with a blood-stained steel knife. His expression was crazy and distorted, and his face showed a murderous intent. It was obvious that the sudden reversal of the battle made him defeat him. He was unwilling to be left alone and wanted to capture these children as hostages.
Although the incident took only a moment, Deng Xiucai seemed crazy, but his mind was very clear.
He knew that it was useless to capture Tang Fan as a hostage. The other party was just a small official, insignificant and might be abandoned at any time. If you want to capture the hostage, it would be best to capture the daughters of the two high officials. They are the real targets of the government to chase after him this time. Only by holding them in your hands can you be truly safe.
Tang Fan didn't know what he was thinking. Once Zhu Yong's daughter was caught by Deng Xiucai, no one could stop Deng Xiucai. So he didn't even think about it. He didn't want to dodge to the side, but rushed towards Deng Xiucai!
This action is a bit stupid to others, because Tang Fan himself has no time to stay with him, he is completely an ordinary person, and he has no weapons in his hand, and he has no strength to compete with Deng Xiucai at all. His pounce is like hitting a stone with an egg.
But he did that. There was no pretentious or fake or fake in the flash, but only subconscious actions.
In Tang Fan's opinion, he did not think that he was a court official, but was one level higher than those children. However, because he was a parent official, he should lead by example to protect the people.
Fool!
Big fool!
A big fool!
Wang Zhi naturally saw this scene. He was far away and it was impossible to stop Deng Xiucai's knife from slashing at Tang Fan, so he could only watch and curse.
Suizhou was closer and it should have been too late, but he still wanted to fight, so he did not curse like Eunuch Wang, but accelerated his body, as fast as lightning, turning into a black shadow, holding an embroidered spring sword in his hand, stabbing Deng Xiucai with all his strength.
However, no one expected that just as Deng Xiucai was about to chop at Tang Fan, the latter suddenly took out something from his arms and smashed it at Deng Xiucai with a head-on look.
Those things were dark and there were several pieces. At first glance, they looked like hidden weapons, very sharp, and they even had something on them.
... Could it be a hidden weapon that has hardened poison?
Deng Xiucai was shocked and quickly waved the long sword in his hand, protecting his whole body without leaking water.
I heard a few crisp sounds, and all the things were knocked away, some of them were broken into pieces and splashed on the ground.
When Deng Xiucai saw it, he was so angry!
What kind of hidden weapon is clearly a few pieces of porcelain bowls!
The place that looks like it is poisoned is the blue and white texture on the bowl!
At that moment, he wanted to let Tang Fan go!
It is said that the battlefield changes rapidly, and the short few breaths that Tang Fan had won for the porcelain pieces was enough, and Suizhou had arrived!
Xiuchun Knife arrived with a thunderous force, and the rolling sword's murderous aura rushed towards Deng Xiucai!
He had to turn around and grit his teeth to deal with Suizhou.
Opportunities were fleeting. After being interrupted by Tang Fan, Deng Xiucai had missed the opportunity to take the child as a hostage.
Less than a moment, followed closely by the Jinyiwei and the Western Factory men.
Everyone knows that this Xiucai Deng is the leader of this trip. As long as he catches him, he will be a great achievement.
Others have been stopped one after another, and the empty hands have swarmed up and surrounded Deng Xiucai.
The latter's failure has become inevitable, but sooner or later.
Tang Fan escaped under the knife and saved his life. Finally, he was relieved. After fear that he would weaken his body and simply sat on the ground.
"Brother, you're fine!" A Dong ran over to support him.
"It's okay." Tang Fan said tiredly.
"Brother, you are bleeding!" Asong pointed at his neck.
Tang Fan had a very thin blood mark. It was probably because he was accidentally sputtered when Deng Xiucai knocked the porcelain piece away just now.
A Dong took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to him. It was the prize that Tang Fan won after guessing riddles at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. At that time, A Dong stuffed a lot of things in his arms, and there were three handkerchiefs alone. At this time, it was useless.
Tang Fan took a veil and covered her neck casually, touching her head: "You go and take good care of those younger brothers and sisters, don't let them run around."
A Dong agreed and turned around and left.
At this time, Tang Fan came out behind him and sneered: "What a embarrassing!"
He didn't have to turn his head and knew who the other party was: "Why didn't Mr. Wang go to help, but it's getting cooler here?"
Wang Zhi said: "The overall situation has been decided. If this case can be solved, I have made contributions. Why should I come on stage in person?"
Tang Fan said: "You didn't chase after that official road, how could you come in time?"
Wang Zhi said: "After you were heading towards the small road, I turned back to the official office to find horses, and then divided two groups of people to chase them along the two official roads, and then came to find you. But it took a lot of time to go back and forth between them and horses, which would have been delayed. Otherwise, those Jinyiwei would not have arrived now. If they had changed to Xichang, they would have been trapped in this way, let alone putting you in a thief cave, they would have beaten these clowns to the point of falling into tears!"
Tang Fan sighed, but expressed relief: "Who can you blame? When I told you that you would go this way, you didn't believe it, and it wasted a lot of time in vain! We caught a member of the Nancheng Gang at that time, but we didn't expect that he was stabbed and cut two fingers. He dared to lie. There were only four people in Suizhou and were afraid of insufficient staff, so he could only concentrate on chasing the mountain. If you can arrive in time, it would be considered that these bandits had exhausted their energy, otherwise I would probably have to pay my life here!"
He also said: "The reason why Deng Xiucai and the others ran out of the cellar was because the Nancheng Gang had a village on the mountain ahead, so they could go there to avoid the limelight. After they were captured, they had to ask the location and uproot the village. In addition, the Nancheng Gang's forces must be more than just the few people led by Deng Xiucai. There must be other forces everywhere in the city. Please help Wang Gong eliminate all the evil affairs and wipe them out one by one."
Wang Zhi frowned, obviously unwilling to be troublesome. In his opinion, even if the task was completed if these children were found.
Tang Fan just turned his head and saw his expression change. He knew what he was thinking, so he slowly said: "The Nancheng Gang is related to the White Lotus Demon."
Wang Zhi looked stern: "Are you serious?"
Tang Fan nodded: "This is what I heard in the cellar. The Nancheng Gang is just a gang under the White Lotus Sect and is also a source of money and wealth for the White Lotus Sect. However, Deng Xiucai was unwilling to be ordered, so he had an internal strife with the envoy of the priest in the cellar and killed her. After you catch Deng Xiucai, you might as well search for him, and there must be the White Lotus Sect token."
The demonic story of Li Zilong once made the palace people panic. Afterwards, the investigation proved that he was related to the White Lotus Sect. Since then, the three words "Bai Lotus Sect" have been officially put on the surface, which makes people have to face it.
Unfortunately, the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory have conducted secret investigations in the past two years, and there has been no progress. The organization has been hidden too deeply that even Wang Zhi and the others can't find any clues, so they can only catch some small fish and shrimps.
Now that the relationship between the Nancheng Gang and the White Lotus Sect is revealed, there is no need to say much about Tang Fan. As well as Boss Lai and Liuzhi Li and the underworld forces in the capital, Wang Zhi and others will naturally investigate.
While the two of them were talking, even though Deng Xiucai was extraordinary in martial arts, he was outnumbered and finally was captured.
Not to mention those who were shot to death by arrows and killed in the fight, the Nancheng Gang, together with the Second and Third Heads, had a total of seven living people left behind.
More importantly, the group of children, including Zhu Yongyou's daughter and Geng Shilang's grandson, were not seriously injured, but were just a little scared.
Everyone was struggling all night, and although a piece of credit was in front of them, they had no experience in celebrating, and they all looked tired and wanted to die of death.
This is true for those who have the ability to live with them, let alone ordinary people like Tang Fan. He has been through life and death for several times, and he is really working hard to sell cabbage.
The carriage that Deng Xiucai and his friends prepared to carry the children was still used to carry Adong and the others, but the direction was adjusted.
Lord Tang, who was covered in wounds and exhausted, was too lazy to ride a horse alone, so as not to doze off and fall down in the middle of the journey, and would directly share the same ride with Suizhou.
Everyone was very tired, and the horse was not moving fast, and the journey was uneven and he was chaotic. Tang Fan sat behind Suizhou, and at this rhythm, he unknowingly fell asleep, and his saliva flowed through others.
Chapter completed!
