Chapter 44
At this time, Hua Linlang was wandering aimlessly in Yingtian City. Of course, he could have changed his face so leisurely, and thought he would not be able to see through the people of Tianyan Sect. Otherwise, even though he knew that the elites of Tianyan Sect were all in the city, he would probably not be able to be so casual.
In other words, Hua Linlang's heart is actually not as heavy as the "killing thought" that Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu are worried about. If he had not exposed his whereabouts when he escaped and was chased all the way, he would not have bumped into this prosperous Yingtian City as a cover.
Even though he entered Yingtian City and found a secluded place and changed his face, he had no idea of revenge.
Although he was indeed quite dissatisfied with the Tianyan Sect leader's own kidnap, he had actually made such preparations since the day he entered the world. Moreover, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. He has always been used to wandering around the world alone. He has never thought about any revenge in his consciousness. What he thought in his heart was nothing more than staying away from this place of fault and trying to stay away from the territory of Tianyan Sect and never see him again in the future.
But after half a day of idling in the city, his heart became a little restless.
The reason is naturally that the news he heard in the city in the past half day had gradually touched his originally closed heart.
Qinglong is dead.
Perhaps it was to give an explanation to the people in the city, or perhaps it was to think that Qinglong's death would inevitably trigger panic and civil strife among the remaining Tianyanmen in the city, Liuzhanmen took the initiative to throw out the news.
Although the situation in the Tianyan Gate Dongjitian at this time and the death of Qinglong was actually entirely caused by Kang Jinlong, Fang Ritu's group of people deliberately refused to save him, the release of this news did indeed calm the rumors about the people who were unfortunately killed and the murderers with cruel means in the city.
Even if the six gates that we know best about Tianyan Sect can't figure out the complex relationships within Tianyan Sect, the other government offices will naturally be even more unbearable.
It was after seeing this that Hua Linlang couldn't help but have a little thought in his heart.
Seek a great opportunity for yourself to earn a lot of money.
If we look at it from this perspective, Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu seem to have had a misstep.
After all, whether for revenge or for money, the final result is the same.
...
Inside the Six Gate Yamen, Hou Qing's face was still ashen.
In fact, since he was woken up from his sleep that night and was informed of the detailed situation, his face had been so gloomy, as if someone had owed him thousands of taels of silver.
Just like this, he was still cursing his captains with severe faces after he was scolded by this matter. Otherwise, he would have been afraid that his face would not be as gray as the bottom of a pot.
The group of convicted captains were conscious of their faults and could only endure it silently.
Privately, they felt that Hou Qing was a little too nitpicking.
After all, although he lost a lot of his constables this time, Qinglong, the leader of Tianyanmen Dongjitian, had been forced to commit suicide. No matter how you look at it, it was a great contribution.
In their opinion, Tianyan Sect suffered heavy losses this time, and Qinglong's death would even fall into a situation where there were no heads. Next, as long as the group of Tianyan Sect killers who escaped, the power of the Tianyan Sect Dongjitian will be almost wiped out and the case can be closed and the merits can be reported.
Even if you can't catch the last group of fish that missed the net in the end, it's not harmful.
After all, even if the backbone has been broken and even the head has been cut off, even if these stray dogs escape, they probably cannot escape the result of falling apart.
However, Xinyuehu was lucky enough to die this time, which made them feel that it was not "perfect" enough.
If the Tianyan Sect is really destroyed, the contribution of Xinyuehu will obviously be difficult to erase, especially when Hou Qing seems to appreciate Xinyuehu's abilities very much, he might add a point to Xinyuehu when he rewards the merits, so that he can be recruited into the Six Gates to serve in an extraordinary position.
Compared with other yamen, Liushemen does not exclude women from becoming constables because of their complex relationship with the world. Not to mention anything else, among the four major captains who are famous in the world, Tie Wenbin was able to occupy a quota, thanks to his sister Tie Wenlan. Therefore, when the four major captains mentioned in the world, they always tied the Tie brothers and sisters together as a quota.
With Tie Wenlan's precedent, Hou Qing wanted to absorb Xinyuehu and become the constable of Liusanmen, and there was obviously no problem.
When the "witch" who had been despised by them before and even cursed with words would become one of them, these captains felt as disgusting as if they had eaten a fly.
Then, in his heart, he silently "prayed" that Xinyuehu would never wake up, and "prayed" that she would die of so much injury.
But what they didn't know was that Xinyuehu had actually woken up, and after just woke up and learned that Qinglong had committed suicide by taking poison, she immediately told Hou Qing about her guess.
Qinglong failed in the struggle, and another group of people who attacked her sneak attacked her. If she could escape Yingtian successfully after winning this time, although the Dongjitian of Yanmen seemed to disappear that day, as if she had completely disappeared, a few years later, after she recovered and had her strength replenished, she would definitely make a comeback again.
And those who can become the leader of this group are obviously only one of the two remaining star masters in Dongjitian - Kang Jinlong or Fang Ritu.
Therefore, if the Six Gates do not want to see the revival of Tianyan Gate in a few years, they must be motivated to catch 90% of Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu who are still trapped in the city.
...
When Xinyuehu explained the seriousness of the matter to Hou Qing and warned Hou Qing that he had to catch or kill Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu, Hua Linlang was hesitating outside the six doors of the yamen.
As a gangster who has always been accustomed to being alone, Hua Linlang has prejudice and fear for Liushemen, like most people in the gangsters, especially since he was actually carrying many bloody cases in the gangsters. He thought that he should have a criminal record in the gangsters and let him take the initiative to "send someone's head" like now, which is undoubtedly very normal.
However, when he thought that this time he might get a token or even token that could make him feel at ease in the world, he still couldn't help but be moved by it.
But what he didn't know was that while he was still sitting there drinking herbal tea while struggling, there was also a group of people outside the Six Gate Yamen who would occasionally use their light to sweep the front door of Six Gate, observe the situation, and pay attention to whether there were no guys wearing Six Gate Constable's official uniforms who wanted to enter Six Gate Yamen.
This group of people is naturally the killers sent by Kang Jinlong, or the dead soldiers.
After realizing how huge threat Hua Linlang would bring to them the remaining Tianyan Sect members, Kang Jinlong came up with such a bloody way of "for life to exchange for life".
Two or three dead men were sent to hide outside the Liushemen Yamen. When they found that a guy suspected of Hua Linlang wanted to approach the Liushemen's door, they rushed out and exchanged their lives for their lives. After killing Hua Linlang, they took poison and committed suicide.
They are all familiar with Hua Linlang's kung fu, but it is a third-rate three-legged cat kung fu. He has no other skills except one of the superb disguise techniques. Two or three second-rate masters are enough to kill them in one blow.
As for killing Hua Linlang, he committed suicide by taking poison instead of escaping immediately, it is naturally to avoid being found and then exposing the locations of Kang Jinlong, Fang Ritu and others.
Now that Qinglong has died, the people of Dongjitian are increasingly able to gather around Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu.
Of course, in order to prevent Hua Linlang from "not taking the ordinary road" and going to other yamen to disclose their situation, Kang Jinlong arranged dead soldiers outside the yamen such as Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Wucheng Military and Ma Si, hoping to completely block Hua Linlang's path of revenge.
Hua Linlang obviously did not expect that Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu, who seemed to have become like rats crossing the street in the city, dared to send people to run outside these six gates to block his road and kill him.
That is, his entanglement about the Six Doors made him hesitate, wondering whether he should enter the Six Doors, otherwise he would be afraid that he would have turned into a dead body now.
But now Hua Linlang is only concerned about whether to report Kang Jinlong and Fang Ritu to the Six Gates, and did not notice the murderous intent around him at all. Perhaps it was just a matter of time before he turned into a corpse.
But perhaps it was Hua Linlang's life span not yet exhausted, or perhaps it was Kang Jinlong, Fang Ritu's group of people killed innocent people that day, which caused dissatisfaction among a big man in the sky. While Hua Linlang was still struggling in the herbal tea shop, a group of constables walked out of the open doors of the six doors, and while talking and laughing, they walked towards the herbal tea shop where Hua Linlang was.
The weather is hot in midsummer, and the six door guards are also humans, so they naturally have the desire to cool down.
However, for these constables who are still on duty, they cannot take off their official uniforms, and they cannot go to take a shower, so they can only drink a bowl of herbal tea to relieve the heat.
For Hua Linlang, the appearance of these constables is undoubtedly the ice cubes in this hot summer, which came too in time.
However, although he was excited, Hua Linlang naturally could not have stepped forward directly. Although his previous entanglement failed to bravely take the first step towards the Six Gates and Yamen, he also made him think about many possibilities in his mind.
It allows him to neither have to formally meet with the constables of the Six Gates, nor can he use news to exchange for the possibilities he needs from the Six Gates.
After thinking quickly in his mind, he finally stopped tangling. After choosing the most appropriate method that had just been thinking about in his mind for a long time, Hua Linlang stood up and went to check the bill.
...
"Several officials, please wait."
Shortly after Hua Linlang disappeared in the herbal tea shop, several constables also stood up and prepared to return to the yamen to continue on duty, but the shopkeeper stopped them.
"What's wrong? Old Liu? It seems that tomorrow is the day to check out, right?"
Because this herbal tea shop is open in the Six Gate Doors, the constables in the Six Gate will come to drink herbal tea from time to time to get rid of the heat. Naturally, the payment matter has changed from one settlement at a time to one settlement per month.
Therefore, when they heard the shopkeeper call out to them, they thought the other party had remembered the wrong day and wanted to check out the bill.
"Several officials misunderstood. Although the young man is old, it is not time to remember the days."
The shopkeeper quickly laughed a little and explained to them.
"I called a few officials because the guest just now asked the old man to send a letter to the officials."
As the shopkeeper said, he took out a piece of paper that looked wrinkled and was bundled together and handed it to the leading detective.
"Hey, this is really strange. He wants to tell us something. Why don't you come here in person and ask you to send it?"
Although he didn't seem to care much, he did not dare to be careless in his actions.
He looked cautious and slowly unfolded the paper ball bit by bit, as if he was worried about fraud.
However, after seeing that there was nothing abnormal after it was unfolded, the group of people couldn't help but laugh at themselves.
‘I’ve been so nervous recently. What traps can such a small piece of paper have?’
But after accidentally glanced at the few short words written on the unfolded note, the leading detective immediately changed his face, and then immediately took action like the wind, copying the note in his hand and holding it tightly, while looking at the left and right with a little nervous look.
"Old Liu, do you still remember how the person you were looking at by handing this note to you?"
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal around him, he immediately asked the shopkeeper in an anxious and somewhat expectant tone.
Although the other constables did not understand why he had such a big reaction, their professional qualities and tacit understanding immediately dispersed, stood in all directions, and monitored the surrounding situation with their eyes as lightning.
"this..."
The shopkeeper was naturally even more confused. Of course, seeing the constables in this way, his voice trembled slightly. At the same time, he couldn't help but complain that he was too greedy and was involved in such trouble for just a few copper coins.
"This is not a place to talk, please follow me into the yamen before talking."
And the other party's next words almost made the shopkeeper sit on the ground in fear.
...
The herbal tea shop quickly became a "unsold" method. Because several Liushenmen's constables did not clean up for him, they directly used a half-control and half-coercive method to immediately follow them into the Liushenmen's yamen.
