Chapter 18 Set up

At Xu Jinghong's residence, he was listening to Guo Shaoping, a brother in front of him, talking about what they had encountered during the day.

With Xu Jinghong's permission, these brothers who could move freely went out in groups after sleeping until noon. With a lot of money robbed from the Fang family in Lingzhou, and this is the first time to come to the capital, everyone's interest is very high. Except for a few decent people such as Wang Liehai and Tian Dahu who did not follow, more than 20 people have gone to the wind and moon place.

And Guo Shaoping and others went to a large-scale gambling hall in the south of the capital, where they played. At first, these people were lucky and won a lot of silver. Just when they were complady, increased their bets and wanted to make more money, their luck plummeted. Not only did he spit out what he had won before, but he also lost a lot of money.

Hearing this, Xu Jinghong's face was a little ugly: "That's how gambling is. There are winners and losers. What? But did you get disgled after losing and offend some people?

"Team Zheng, you underestimate the brothers too much!" Guo Shaoping shook his head and said, "Just lose some money. Brothers won't be a matter of trouble, but the problem is that they always laugh at us after winning money, saying that we soldiers can't play money at all..."

"Hmm?" Xu Jinghong took a look at Guo Shaoping's dress and didn't wear a military uniform. How did the other party see their identity? However, he did not interrupt the other party's narrative, but kept his mind.

Although the brothers were angry, they still didn't think of taking action. But I didn't expect that these people deliberately wanted to provoke us. After winning again, a few grains of color fell out of their sleeves. But it turns out that they have been paying thousands, but no one has noticed it! And they paid a thousand, but they still took our silver without any consciousness at all, so the brothers couldn't help..."

These soldiers are strong-blooded young people. How can they stand such rogue behavior and provocations of the other party? They immediately came forward and pressed those bets and shouted at each other.

Those people were obviously prepared for a long time. As soon as they saw the soldiers stop them, they took the lead, and a bench somehow hit a soldier. Now they stabbed the hornet's nest. Those soldiers already had a friendship, but now they are on fire. Naturally, they will not bear to suffer losses by their own people. In the angry shouts, they also lifted the gambling table and fought with the group of people.

"Then you were defeated by them and how many brothers went in?" Xu Jinghong asked in time, but he couldn't see his joy and anger.

"Of course not! How can those guys be our brothers' opponents? After a chaotic battle, those dozen guys were all knocked to the ground by us, and the silver they won by thousands of them were also robbed by us!"

"In this case, why do you say that our brother was injured and taken down?"

"This matter is indeed a little strange. When we taught those people a lesson and took the silver out of the casino, a team of officers and soldiers rushed over. When the first guy to lead the way pointed to our brothers and shouted something to make trouble, they were the ones who picked up arms and surrounded us all.

"Brothers are still angry because they just had a fight in it. Seeing that the officers and soldiers would come up, they would be unfavorable to us. For a moment, they took the initiative to fight with them. But because the team was told not to go out with weapons, we were not several times the opponent of officers and soldiers with bare hands. In the end, many brothers were injured and completely surrounded by them.

"Seeing this situation, Mao asked me to go first by the way, and he continued to lead the officers and soldiers. I don't want the brothers to fall into the hands of those officers and soldiers in the end, and even Mao Shun's good hands can't escape. In the end, Guo Shaoping was still full of indigation. Obviously, he thought that as long as he had weapons in his hand, he might win or lose this battle.

Xu Jinghong became a little silent after listening to him say everything. After a long time, he looked at Wang Liehai: "What do you think of this?"

Wang Liehai said without thinking, "This is obviously a trap for our brothers. Our people don't do it. As long as they do it, those officers and soldiers will arrive in time and take them down!"

"That's what I think, brothers have been tricked." Xu Jinghong also nodded and then asked Guo Shaoping, "Do you know the way of the officers and soldiers who took us?"

"I don't know if it's true or not that the guards call them patrolling the city camp."

"That should be, and their identity makes me more convinced that the judgment is not wrong!" Xu Jinghong smiled and said, "Although the patrol camp also has the power to arrest criminals, it is generally not easy to go out unless there is a big change. Generally speaking, it is a matter of the Gyeonggi government to catch this kind of street fight. This time, it is obvious that they feel that the Gyeonggi government is not capable enough to use the people to patrol the city.

"What? It turns out that someone is planning on us, but what should we do? Hearing this, the old dog also frowned. And the other brothers reacted more fiercely: "How can it be? There are really no good people in the capital. We have to save people quickly!"

"Do you want to save people? How to save people?" Xu Jinghong stared at them angrily: "If you are still in the southwest!" This is the capital. If you want to solve the problem by force, it will only make things worse, and you will only put yourself in!"

When the others heard this, they didn't dare to shout at that time. They also heard that if it hadn't been for the brothers in the gambling hall who couldn't calm down, it might have been impossible for such a big problem.

But the old dog still said disapprovingly, "But the team is right, we can't help saving those brothers, can we? If it's really like what you said, they intend to deal with us, it's not easy for those brothers to fall into the hands of others!"

This sentence once again aroused the mood of some people: "Yes, the team is taking advantage of the dark to save people, afraid of where he will come from!" We even won the barbarians, and we are afraid that these soldiers who have never been to the battlefield can do it? In the eyes of the border army, the people stationed in the Central Plains are all old soldiers, and they don't look good at all.

"Okay, I promise you to save people, but which of you can answer my questions. First, where did the patrol camp lock up the brothers? Second, what kind of layout do they have there? Third, once we save people, how should we deal with ourselves? You should know that this is not the southwest, but the capital. It is against the royal law by doing so!" Xu Jinghong said and swept the faces of these people in front of him coldly.

Now, everyone is really speechless. They just want to be quick to save their brother, but they don't think about other deeper problems. Now that Xu Jinghong asked this question, I understand that there are so many particularities in it.

"What does the team think we should do?" Finally, Guo Shaoping was the first to ask a question.

Xu Jinghong did not give a solution immediately, but waved his hand and said, "You can go down first and wait until I think about it."

Everyone still trusts his ability. Since he spoke, how eager he was, he still agreed and went out. Soon there were only Wang Liehai and Xu Jinghong left in the room.

"Reihai, do you know any reliable people in Beijing?" After thinking for a long time, Xu Jinghong suddenly asked.

"My grandfather still has a few old brothers in the capital, but their power has dissipated with the withdrawal from the army. I'm afraid it won't help in this matter." Wang Liehai was a little ashamed.

"It doesn't matter. I just need to know who is in charge of the patrol camp and where he is. I think as long as there are some positions in the capital, it should not be too difficult. Xu Jinghong said.

"This is really not too difficult. I'll ask these seniors later. Wang Liehai said worriedly, "Team Zheng, don't you have to attack that man? I'm afraid that the other party is a powerful person in the capital. Once we really take action, we really have no way back!"

"Don't worry, I'm not so desperate yet!" Xu Jinghong smiled and said, "And the person who designed me also wants me to do this. I will never let him do it this time!" Well, you don't have to worry about what I will do. Just help me get this news back.

"Okay, I'll go now!" Seeing that Xu Jinghong was so eager and calm, Wang Liehai stopped talking, but went to work.

Xu Jinghong continued to sit quietly in the hall. After a long time, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth: "This incident may not be a bad thing! With this lesson, I think my brothers will restrain a little in the capital in the future, and it will be very difficult for someone to be against me in this regard in the future. Looking at his appearance, it seems that there is a solution to the current situation.

"Hahaha, I really want to thank Boss Hong and General Zhang for their help! Come on, I'll toast you two here!" With an excited smile, the three cups touched each other. This is an elegant restaurant with elegant decoration. The table is full of delicacies and wine, but there are only three diners.

The identity of these three people also looks quite strange. On the main seat is a prince in his twenties, two guests, and the next one is a shrewd middle-aged man. Although he is well dressed, he does not look noble, and the guests in the upper seat are more difficult to get along with the two, but he is a rude warrior.

At this time, when the two guests saw that the prince of Huafu had finished drinking the glass of wine, they also hurriedly drank the wine and lit the bottom of the glass. Looking at their appearance, they were obviously still somewhat flattered. When the Mr. Huafu saw their expressions, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Obviously, he was very satisfied, and then said, "If you can help my family deal with these people this time, our family will be grateful in the future!"

The two hurriedly dared, and then the general said again, "but I don't know what Mr. Fang is going to do next? Will these people be convicted or handed over to you?

"No hurry, this time has just begun." Mr. Fang smiled and said, "Take those people down just to attract people. As long as they can't stand it and come to your city to rescue people, it's really a success.

"It turns out that this is the idea, and these people are just bait!" Boss Hong suddenly said, "I don't know who can make Mr. Fang act like this? Is there anyone in the capital that Mr. Fang can't deal with clearly?" This is what the other party said. Boss Hong was the owner of the gambling house during the day. At the entrustment of Mr. Fang, he asked some of the old people to make a plan to provoke Guo Shaoping and others to do it. However, as soon as he started, he found that the other party was very difficult to deal with, which made him feel that he seemed to have offended people who should not be offended. In order to be prepared, he had to inquire.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Fang just said lightly, "It's better to know less about some things, otherwise there will never be a good result for Boss Hong. General Zhang, your brother is going to work hard these days. Don't give people a chance to save people.

Boss Hong was a little ugly, but he still put up with it. He was still quite afraid of this son. But the general smiled boldly: "Don't worry, we have taken many people who committed adultery in the city patrol camp, and we see that there are a lot of people. If those people's accomplices don't come, they will be all in our hands as soon as they come!"

"So I will give everything to you!" After finally drinking a glass of wine, Mr. Fang got up and arched his hand to the two: "You two, I still have something to do. Please take your time. Today, all the flowers in this pearl building are my son. You two are welcome.

The two of them said hello quickly, and the prince of Fang had already left the elegant room. When he came outside, several powerful attendants of Kong Wu immediately came over and surrounded him and left the famous gold-selling cave in the capital.

After walking along the wide streets of the capital for half an hour in a carriage, Mr. Fang came to a magnificent building. This was his home, and the Fang family of the seven families in the capital was in the capital.

"The prince is back!" At the porter, an old man dressed as a housekeeper quickly greeted the carriage and reported, "Sir, the master has been waiting for you for a while. Go to the study to see him."

"Well." After nodding, Mr. Fang got out of the car and came to a quiet courtyard under the guide of several attendants with lanterns. This was the study of Fang Yuanshan, the owner of the Fang family. Mr. Fang came to the door of the spacious house in the courtyard and whispered, "Father, please stay calm!" The Fang family's family rules are very strict, and even his beloved son, has to be seen first when he enters the door.

"Come in." There was a calm sound from Fangyuan Mountain. After he went in, Fang Yuanshan glanced at him and said, "What, did you drink?"

"Exactly, the child drank some wine with two friends." Fang Jingshou answered.

"You asked someone to tell me that there is a way to deal with Xu Jinghong before, but what's going on?" After tasting the tea, Fang Yuanshan led the problem to business.

"This is the reason why children and people drink." With that, Fang Jingshou told his father the original design. First, a game was set up in the gambling hall, which made Xu Jinghong's brothers take action angrily, and then took action with the people who patrolled the city camp and took them all.

Speaking of this, Fang Jingshou smiled and said, "Now that people have fallen into our hands, Xu Jinghong's previous style is bound to try his best to rescue them. And this is the capital. Once he saves people, he will commit a serious crime, and even if he is killed by the people patrol camp on the spot, it is also his own fault! So the child thought that he would definitely eradicate this disaster this time!"

"Well, this design is really good. But what if he also sees that this is a trap and doesn't move? Then the layout below you can't move."

"This child has also considered it. Although he is much more likely to save people, it is true that he does not move to ensure his own safety. But in this way, his strength has been weakened by us, and we can use the same method to deal with him in the future. As the number of available people around him continues to decrease, I think it is difficult for him to gain a foothold here. In addition, if he sees his brother captured and doesn't rescue him, what will his other brothers think of him?

"Okay, no matter how he reacts, he will not escape from our hands. Shoujing, you did a good job this time. If you really succeed, you will make a great contribution!" Fang Yuanshan couldn't help but appreciate and nodded: "Then you should think more about this matter these days. Don't worry about other errands in the government office."

"Yes, the child will do what his father wants." Fang Jingshou was also very happy to see his father's praise so much and hurriedly promised.

"Team Zheng, the matter you asked me to investigate is already clear!" Wang Liehai rushed back around the third update and said as soon as he saw Xu Jinghong. Although it was already midnight, Xu Jinghong and the others did not mean to rest at all. The situation of the brothers is unknown, which makes it difficult for them to calm down and sleep.

"What do you say?" Xu Jinghong quickly stood up and asked.

"The owner of the patrol camp will guard Meng Huchong, but we don't have any friendship with him, and it's really difficult to start from him. As for the envoy who took down our people, I also found out that it was Zhang He, a deputy general in the patrol camp.

"It seems that Brother Wang is still very rewarding. Go out and find out everything." Xu Jinghong said with a smile.

"So, what is the team going to do?" As soon as Wang Liehai's words came out, the brothers all turned their eyes on Xu Jinghong, and everyone was full of expectations.

Xu Jinghong smiled faintly: "I already have a way, but now is not the time to say it. You can take a rest first. I'll go to save people early tomorrow morning. I think Mao Shun and the others can come back safely in two days!"

Although he didn't say his own way, everyone believed it when they saw that he looked confidently. After agreeing, they went back to sleep, leaving only Xu Jinghong's eyes shining inexplicably in the starry sky.
