Chapter 191 Discovery

More than ten riders of the rhino dragon horse ran all the way, and in just a moment, they arrived at the north gate of Pingxi City.

Compared to usual days, the checkpoints here in the North Gate are more strict. The more soldiers stationed on both sides of the city gate, they are almost three times more than usual. When Yan Liqiang and his team arrived at the North Gate, they did not dismount. They just rode a horse and took out a token, rode on horseback, and lit it at the officer guarding the city gate. After the officer saw it clearly, the group rode into the city gate hole.

And in the city gate, Yan Liqiang saw that at the entrance to the city, a team of Shatu people were stopped by the soldiers stationed at the gate of the city.

"All Shatu people will be dismounted by me. They will not be allowed to ride horses into the city again. All goods will be inspected. Everyone will pay double the entry fee to enter the city..." An officer at the door shouted at the Shatu people riding on horseback.

"Why, why should we dismount? We were able to ride into the city last time we came, and we didn't pay the city entrance fee..." A caravan leader of a Shatu people rode on the horse and shouted at the soldiers at the city gate in skillful Chinese, and the Shatu people behind us also started to clamor.

The officer at the door laughed wildly, and his laughter subsided. The officer's voice suddenly became cold, "Why, I'll tell you why, that's why, Pingxi City has changed. We don't want to spoil you anymore, and don't want you to be old men anymore. Is this reason enough? If you want to enter the city, follow our rules. If you don't want to enter the city, please get out of the way. Don't block the way. If you dare to break through, what do you think you will do, brothers?"

"Kill..." Several rows of soldiers at the entrance of the city gate roared angrily, and at the same time put down their spears and pointed them at the Shatu people. The archers on the city towers on both sides also pointed the arrows below. The Shatu people who were used to being arrogant and brave experienced this scene for the first time. Their faces changed color, and the mounts they were riding were also scared to take a few steps back.

Seeing Yan Liqiang and his team rushing through the city gate hole on horseback, the soldiers guarding the city gate directly drove the caravan of Shatu people aside and gave way out the exit.

When passing by the Shatu people, Liang Yijie looked at the Shatu people coldly, and more than a dozen riding rhino dragon horses galloped past the Shatu people.

After galloping a hundred meters, Yan Liqiang heard the cheers of the people at the gate behind him. He turned around and saw the group of Shatu people, one by one, got off the horse and paid the entry fee, and then he was able to enter the city.

"What do you think about Li Qiang?" Liang Yijie, who was riding on the horse, turned his head and asked Yan Liqiang.

"It should have been like this long ago!" Yan Liqiang replied simply, "I saw Shatu people entering the city for the first time when I came to Pingxi City that day, and I saw Shatu people being arrogant and majestic when they entered the city. In the long run, these Shatu people probably think that it is appropriate for them to be the masters of Pingxi City!"

"Hahaha, right, it should have been like this long ago. If you continue to let Ye Tiancheng and others act recklessly, collude with Shatu people, and sell the country for glory, sooner or later, these Shatu people will be a secret disease of our great man!"

"These Shatu people are all ungrateful wolves who are not well-raised. If there is a day, it may be a good thing!" Yan Liqiang smiled slightly.

"Why is it a good thing?"

"Once and for all!"

After hearing Yan Liqiang's words, Liang Yijie looked at him deeply, nodded, and stopped talking.

...

The group rode out of the city on horseback and came outside the city. The speed of the Xilong Horse suddenly relaxed. In less than a few minutes, they followed the official road to a hill seven or eight miles away from the North City Gate.

The hill is next to the official road, with bamboo forests on the mountain, which looks quite quiet. At the foot of the mountain is the river.

A manor covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres is located deep in the bamboo forest on this hill. On weekdays, this manor seems quite mysterious. Even the names of the villages in the surrounding villages and towns at the foot of the mountain do not know who lives on this hill. You can only see a corner of the exposed red walls and green tiles in the bamboo forest from afar. If you want to come up, at the foot of the mountain, you will be stopped by the servants in the manor's yard. It is impossible for ordinary people to go up the mountain.

Only a few people know that this is the real place for Ye Tiancheng, the county magistrate of Pingxi City. Except for the so-called county magistrate who would occasionally come to Ye Tiancheng when he was working, Ye Tiancheng rarely stayed in the backyard of the county magistrate's mansion. During the days when Sun Bingchen inspected Pingxi City, it was almost the longest time that Ye Tiancheng had lived in the county magistrate's mansion.

When Yan Liqiang and his friends came to the mountain, hundreds of soldiers had already gathered outside the manor in the bamboo forest. Those soldiers had already surrounded the entire manor. In addition to these soldiers, there was a team of people wearing constable costumes waiting outside the manor.

Seeing Liang Yijie and the others coming, an officer and an instigator hurried over.

"See Lord Liang..." The officer bowed to Liang Yijie. Although Liang Yijie's identity was Sun Bingchen's attendant, Liang Yijie's official rank was not low, so it was also appropriate for the officer to call Lord Liang Yijie.

Liang Yijie nodded to the officer, "No one has been in here these days, right?"

"No, this place was sealed off on the 19th. We have been stationed here and surrounded the place. All the servants and servants inside have been taken away in isolation. No one has been here in the past few days!"

"Thank you all!"

"No, no, no, no, no!" The officer said, and introduced the constable next to Liang Yijie, "This is Captain Han from the Criminal Office..."

Captain Han from the criminal arrest yamen is strong in physique, has a beard, a national face, dark face, and looks very honest, just like a farmer in the village.

"Have you met Lord Liang..." The Captain Han also bowed to Liang Yijie.

Yan Liqiang, who was standing next to Liang Yijie, heard Captain Han's voice, and although he was silent on the surface, his heart suddenly shook because this voice was exactly the same as the man he heard in Qi Donglai's place where he lived that night, who was called the master by Qi Donglai. Not only did the same sound, but also after a closer look, the captain's body shape was exactly the same as what he saw that night, this person was a person from the White Lotus Sect hidden in Pingxi City.

Yan Liqiang originally wanted to wait for his time to go to the door of the criminal arrest yamen and find this person, but he didn't expect to see him here.

The judge of the Criminal and Criminal Office was Ye Tiancheng's leg and had been thrown into prison. However, many of the constables and heads in the Criminal and Criminal Office were still on duty. Even if Sun Bingchen was an inspector, he would not be able to arrest all the things below.

Yan Liqiang remained silent, and the Captain Han just glanced at Yan Liqiang indifferently, as if he didn't know Yan Liqiang at all.
