Liu Jiwu had been in the capital for a long time, so how could he not recognize Kou Sui? He said sternly: "Kou Sui, with all your hard work, you can't even think of stopping me!"
Kou Sui smiled and said: "I can't beat you, but there is still a way to prevent you from leaving the city."
Liu Jiwu snorted coldly and stabbed Kou Sui with his dagger. Five or six moves of the dagger and the dragon-coiling stick passed in the blink of an eye. Liu Jiwu suddenly made a feint at this moment, abandoned Kou and ran towards the horse.
Kou raised his dragon stick and rose into the air, just as Liu Jiwu jumped on his horse. Kou casually swept the dragon stick in his hand and hit the horse on the head. Kou Sui's stick was extremely powerful. The horse fell to the ground with a long neigh after being hit by the stick. After kicking its legs a few times, it suddenly ran out of breath.
Liu Jiwu glared at Kou Sui fiercely, then jumped up and struck Kou Sui fiercely with his long sword. Kou Sui held the dragon stick in his hand, and the dagger was so powerful that Kou Sui felt as if there was a thousand pounds of pressure. His legs couldn't help but feel weak, and he was about to be pushed to the ground by Liu Jiwu.
At this moment, there was a loud shout, and Dong Xianxian stabbed Liu Jiwu between the eyebrows from the side with his sword. Liu Jiwu abandoned Kou Sui and hurriedly resisted. Dong Xianxian moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he and Liu Jiwu had passed seven or eight moves. At this time, Liu Jiwu was attacked by Kou Sui and Dong Xianxian. He couldn't help but become more and more frightened as he fought. When he looked around, he saw that almost all of the cronies he had brought with him were restrained. Only a group of people at the gate of the city were left to resist.
Liu Jiwu would not be afraid if he faced Dong Xianxian and Kou Sui without being injured, but at this time he injured an arm, and the situation was urgent, so he had no intention of fighting. Liu Jiwu made a move to force the bandits to retreat, and took advantage of the opportunity to go straight to the city gate.
Bao Zheng was watching the situation not far away, and couldn't help but feel anxious secretly. If Liu Jiwu ran away, there would be endless troubles in the future.
Liu Jiwu rushed towards the city gate, and the group of bandits hurriedly turned around to intercept him, but they were no match for Liu Jiwu. Liu Jiwu's cronies guarding the city gate saw Liu Jiwu rushing over, and immediately attacked the people in Kou Tang with all their strength, intending to carve out a way so that Liu Jiwu could escape. There were too many people at the city gate, but it was difficult for Kou Sui to use his coiled dragon stick. Dong Xianxian pursued Liu Jiwu relentlessly, and his long sword was like a snake, constantly entangling Liu Jiwu.
Sun Ling'er was guarding Bao Zheng at this time and couldn't help but feel cold sweat for Dong Xianxian. However, Sun Ling'er's martial arts was extremely difficult to deal with a master like Liu Jiwu. Even helping Dong Xianxian would not be of much help.
Liu Jiwu was forced to panic at this time. He attacked wildly with the dagger in his hand. After opening a little distance from Dong Xianxian, he flew directly into the air. Dong Xianxian frowned at this moment, but he swung the long sword in his hand, and the long sword pierced the rainbow, came out, and stabbed Liu Jiwu in the back. Liu Jiwu was only focused on escaping for his life at this time, and he was unprepared behind him. The long sword pierced Liu Jiwu's right shoulder. Liu Jiwu staggered at this time, but fell into the protective circle of his cronies.
His cronies shouted: "Master, leave quickly! We will wean you off!"
General Liu Ji pulled out the long sword from his shoulder, looked back at Dong Xianxian, Kou Sui and Bao Zheng fiercely, and then rushed out of the city gate. Liu Jiwu's cronies at the city gate were trying their best to resist, making it impossible for Kou Sui to lead his men to chase Liu Jiwu.
After all, Liu Jiwu¡¯s cronies at the city gate had no advantage in numbers, and they were all killed after a moment. Kou Sui shouted to the people in Kou Tang: "Hurry and prepare the horses, let's go after Liu Jiwu." After a while, the people in Kou Tang prepared the horses and rushed out of the city gate to chase Liu Jiwu in the direction where he disappeared. .
The Imperial Army led by Bao Zheng stepped forward to ask Bao Zheng for instructions on whether to pursue them. Bao Zheng said helplessly: "Liu Jiwu is so brave that even an organization with many experts like Kou Tang can't catch him. What's the use of you guys going there?"
Bao Zheng took a closer look at the battle at the city gate. Bao Zheng brought thirty forbidden troops, and Kou brought a hundred members of the Kou Hall. At this time, seven or eight people in the Forbidden Army were seriously injured and ten died! There were only twelve people left in the imperial army, and dozens of people in Kou Tang were only slightly injured. At this time, everyone in Kou Tang followed Kou Sui to pursue Liu Jiwu.
Bao Zheng asked the Forbidden Army to quickly transport the injured for treatment. Bao Zheng looked around the city gate at this time, feeling a little depressed. This city gate should have soldiers and horses for defense. Just now when two groups of people were fighting here, no city defenders came. This is really strange.
Bao Zheng took Dong Xianxian and Sun Ling'er to the city defense Diaolou, and saw hundreds of officers and soldiers staggering inside the Diaolou. Each of them had a tea bowl in their hands, and they all fell to the ground unconscious.
Bao Zheng saw several tea buckets on several tables and couldn't help but step forward and take a look. Seeing that the tea was turbid, Bao Zheng stretched out his finger, dipped a little in it, tasted it with his tongue, and frowned: "These people are all Liu Jiwu's accomplices. I just saw our two groups below." They were fighting, so they drank the drugged tea in an attempt to evade responsibility. All of these people will be arrested and handed over tomorrow.The Ministry of War is accountable! "
Sun Ling'er couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Brother Bao, how do you know they were not plotted against?"
Bao Zheng pointed to the tea bucket and said: "The tea is turbid and has a bitter taste. The dose of the drug is extremely heavy. As long as you are a normal soldier, you will find something wrong with it. The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty are not allowed to drink alcohol at all while on duty. Moreover, the officers and soldiers guarding the city eat in batches in rotation, so if these people are stunned together, there will be a big problem!"
After Bao Zheng finished speaking, he took Dong Xianxian and Sun Ling'er down to the city tower and found a forbidden soldier to tell him to quickly go to Kou Zhun's house to report the news. Bao Zheng still has no right to take care of this kind of matter where the Imperial Guards failed to perform their duties, but as Kou Zhun is a close confidant of the emperor, and Kou Zhun is familiar with the officialdom of the capital, and his disciples are all over the government and the public, it will be much easier to take care of it.
Bao Zheng had people check Liu Jiwu's cronies who were killed and injured by the bandits on the ground. These forces should be the Liu family's personal forces. After Bao Zheng frowned and thought for a moment, he hurriedly said: "It's dawn now." It won¡¯t be long. We¡¯ll immediately go to Kaifeng Mansion to dispatch government officials. We¡¯ll go to Liu Mansion for control first. Let¡¯s see how the Liu Mansion responds.¡±
Bao Zheng, Dong Xianxian and Sun Ling'er took a carriage and rushed to Kaifeng Mansion Yamen. Bao Zheng entered the yamen and asked the imperial guards at the door to collect them, and took Liu Jiwen and others into the prison again for good guarding. Bao Zheng gathered all the yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion's yamen together. There were more than 100 people, and together with Gongsun Ce and Lin Yan, they hurried to Liu Chenggui's mansion.
Liu Jiwu planned to rob the prison this time. He originally thought it was foolproof. Even if the plan failed, Bao Zheng would not be able to find out anything from the interrogation. Even if the interrogation did come out, there would be no real evidence. As long as the Liu family lets Liu Jiwen go, with the power of the Ding Wei Group, it will be difficult for Bao Zheng to bring down Liu Chenggui without evidence. But at this time, Bao Zheng not only produced the results of the interrogation in a very short time, but also caught Liu Jiwu at the city gate for trying to open the city gate privately. Opening city gates privately, robbing prisons, and colluding with defenders are all serious crimes of confiscating homes and exterminating families. Bao Zheng had the full responsibility to control the Liu family first and wait for the emperor to take action.
