The crescent moon hung on the sky, adding a little vitality to the quiet night. There were already frogs croaking in the distance, and unknown insects yelled happily in the near future, and the night became more and more peaceful.

Li Shen took the lead and walked quickly on this small country road. Behind him, more than fifty soldiers from the bridge and road army were fully armed, carrying guns and knives, and silently heading towards the small mountain village in Guangwu Mountain.

"Zhi Niang, it's the full word again. Are you a gambling guy?!"

Peng Jie's hair bun was already messy, he opened his arms and didn't sit. He stepped on one foot on the stool, staring at the big sea bowl on the table like a copper bell.

Jiang Dalang apologized and said, "What are you talking about at the festival level? Who doesn't know that I'm the most straightforward bet here! The wind is a little unpleasant tonight. Why don't you take a break and drink two glasses of wine?"

Peng Jiejie didn't raise his head and said rudely: "What a lie, I'm just feeling unlucky. I'm going to kill you! Come again, come again! I sold two horses a few days ago to see if you have the ability to take the money!"

Jiang Dalang put a few copper coins into the bowl and said to Tong Qilang who was standing on the side: "Brother Qi, won't you play twice?"

Tong Qilang said coldly: "I lost all my money, just stand aside and watch you have fun."

Jiang Dalang smiled and said to the people sitting on the other side: "What about you? Do you bet?"

These people are eating on the Yellow River. Some have boatmen at home, and some specialize in smuggling and selling contraband products. They don’t speak, so they just take out their bets and throw them on the table.

Among these people, Tong Qilang was the most beautiful, and at most he had his usual money. He stopped and never added money to bet. He came here to support the Jiang family, and he did not have much gambling addiction. Jiang Dalang naturally knew his habit, and he asked him every time he asked him, it was just a ceremony.

Around this table, there were several gambling stalls, and more people gathered. Those were local cellar workers and hunters, who didn’t gamble much and formed their own group.

Many cellar workers basically paid a monthly salary here, which made Tong Qilang change from paying money every month to paying it every day in order to prevent them from losing all their money as soon as they paid their wages. The salary has changed from paying monthly to paying every day. Anyway, no matter how much you bet, it only costs so much every day.

In the sky above the moon, it was late at night before I knew it. Everything was silent, and the remote county of Heyin had already fallen into a dream. But in this small mountain village in Guangwu Mountain, it was at its most lively time. The pigs slaughtered today were cooked and cut into large pieces and served them. The good wine bought from Kaifeng Prefecture can be drunk with all the gifts. They were provided by the Jiang family.

Peng Jiejie took a glass of wine, took a big bite of meat, and was about to sprinkle the copper coins in his hand when suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside, accompanied by panic shouts.

After being interrupted by this single, Peng Jiejie was furious and slapped the table and shouted: "Zhi Niang, who did you die? Are you running so fast to go home to attend the funeral?!"

Before he finished speaking, a young farmer snatched in from outside the door, staggered and said to Jiang Dalang with panic on his face: "Dalang is not good. Many people came from outside the village, with knives and guns, and came straight inside!"

Jiang Dalang was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Did you see who it is?"

"How can I see clearly in the dark night? They didn't even light a torch, and they rushed in when they arrived at the village. It was not a good way to go! My brother went up to interrogate and was knocked to the ground and tied up with a rope!"

After hearing this, Jiang Dalang couldn't help but feel at a loss and turned to Peng Jiejie and said, "Jingjie, did you mess with someone when you came and found my Zhuangzi? There is no enemy from my family in Heyin County."

Seeing that Jiang Dalang was just saying something useless at this time, Tong Qilang said in a deep voice: "I have been hit by someone, why do you care about the enemy or not? How many shopkeepers are there here? Why don't you let them fight with weapons!"

"Yes, yes, no matter who comes, the village has a lot of people, so they can't ask for it!" Jiang Dalang then woke up and turned around and ordered his patrolman to find Pu's sword and stick, ready to fight with the people coming.

After giving the order, he said to Tong Qilang: "Brother Qi, there are not many laborers in your cellar here. How about helping me fight? Drive the thieves away, and I will give you a great gift tomorrow!"

"I don't know who is coming, how many people are there, and what's panic! You send someone out to figure out where the person comes from. If the negotiation makes sense, it's better not to do it."

Tong Qilang has always been cautious. The only one who can organize a large number of people in Heyin is the Jiang family. It is not their family. He must have come from outside. Who knows which evil star it is? Tong Qilang is just seeking money, so how can he be willing to make enemies with others for nothing?

Jiang Dalang also felt that it made sense when he heard this. He was about to ask someone to go out and ask clearly when he heard the screams of the shopkeeper from the yard outside the door and the messy screams.

"What a thief, he rushed into the yard!"

Peng Jiejie was disturbed by someone and was full of anger on his face. How could he bear it when he heard the movement? He kicked the stool under his feet to the ground, stood up and rushed out of the door.

Before Peng Jiejie could reach the door, people outside kicked open, and more than a dozen people rushed in with swords and guns.

With the light, everyone saw clearly that the soldiers from the court were wearing military robes and their swords and guns were shaking their eyes. A general was the first to hold a steel knife and his face was full of fierceness. A green robe was next to him, and he was actually a civil servant.

When Peng Jiejie saw this formation, he would not be arrogant. He stopped himself and asked the person who came: "Who are you? Why are you trespassing into the residence of a good man?"

Lu Fang shouted sternly: "This guy is still stubborn! You are openly gambling, everyone, physical evidence is here, what kind of good people are you? Grandpa is the Qiaodaoxiang Army under the Marquis of Yongning County, and you will come to capture you with the magistrate of this prefecture!"

At this time, the people inside knew what was going on. They never expected that the government came to catch the gambling. Heyin County has been the Jiang family for more than ten years, and everyone almost forgot that there is still an official. They just wanted to seek revenge and grab money from the world, but they didn't expect that the government army, which had always been neglected, appeared here.

Li Guan looked at the situation inside the house, especially the gambling table with gambling tools and large amounts of gambling funds. He looked at it a few more times and said in a deep voice: "I am the official Li Guan, currently the magistrate of Mengzhou. Someone reported tonight that he gathered gambling here and borrowed the Bridge Road Army to capture it. He didn't want to be able to catch it. Now the farm has been surrounded by a large army, and one fly cannot fly out. Don't want to resist stubbornly, and surrender obediently and wait for the court to take it. If you resist arrest and have no eyes on the sword and gun, don't say that you died unjustly when you go underground!" To be continued.
