Chapter 114: Is the matter related to Xuanzhen Temple?
"Have you found out clearly, how many good fighters does the Black Tiger Gang have now?"
"Sir, judging from their recent purchases of food, we estimate that there are about 300 people. There are about 200 people in this mansion, and about 100 people in the two or three houses around it!"
"Hou Jing, Qian Huai, you two are in charge of the houses on the east and west sides. Surround them and kill them. Don't let anyone escape."
"Xie Yun, you and your men have blocked the back door for me. Ma Chuang, Yun Mingliang, you two, bring your men and follow me to charge in from the front! Don't hold back!"
"Arrange the personnel now. In two quarters of an hour, we will receive the signal arrow and start the action at the same time!"
This time, in order to deal with the Black Tiger Gang, several other military divisions each sent two to three hundred good fighters, and Yun Mingliang selected five hundred people, totaling a total of fifteen or sixteen thousand.
Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and news came from various places. Jia Cong suddenly waved his hand, and an arrow with a neighing sound instantly shot straight into the sky.
The troops that had been hiding in various places suddenly rushed out and killed towards several courtyards.
"Cheng Yuhu, lead your men to charge the door!"
Cheng Yuhu grinned, and then he ran towards the door wearing heavy armor. After a moment, there were sharp sounds of wind breaking through the air in the courtyard.
"shield!"
A ladder had been placed on the wall, and Yun Mingliang led his men to climb up. Someone behind them shot arrows to suppress the people in the yard.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the two hammers in Cheng Yuhu's hands fell directly on the gate, and the gate broke into pieces in an instant.
However, Jia Cong heard a creaking sound coming from the courtyard, and his face immediately changed, "Asshole, Eight Ox Crossbow! Cheng Yuhu, lie down!"
Cheng Yuhu subconsciously lay down, and an arrow like a black dragon shot out from the yard, piercing through several soldiers who had no time to dodge.
"Go in!"
Jia Cong pulled out his long sword, his face becoming extremely ugly. It was not because of the casualties of several soldiers, but because of the appearance of the Eight Ox Crossbow.
The Eight Ox Crossbow is a weapon used by the army, and only the real army has it. Even a small Eight Ox Crossbow requires more than a dozen people to operate, and a large Eight Ox Crossbow even requires hundreds of people. Its power is huge, and it is a weapon for infantry formations to fight against cavalry. And now, the Eight Ox Crossbow actually appeared in the hands of a gang, and the emperor must be furious.
Jia Cong rushed directly into the yard with his personal guards. The other soldiers from the military department did not dare to be negligent. They surrounded the outside and rushed inside!
More than a hundred people in the yard rushed towards Jia Cong and others, and the dozen or so people in the lead were all wearing armor!
Jia Cong led the way and chopped one down with his sword. Teng Wu and his guards also bravely moved forward without fear of death! Fortunately, Jia Cong brought his guards with him this time. Otherwise, with only the soldiers of the Military Affairs Division, even if they captured this group of people, there would be no telling how many casualties there would be.
At the same time, bursts of shouting and killing were heard from the backyard and the two surrounding houses.
"Jia Cong, you and I have no grudges in the past or hatred in the present, so why do you have to force each other?" A strong man said in a stern voice.
Jia Cong sneered, "Since you know my name, you should know that I am an official and you are a thief. We have two different lives, and you are destined to fall into my hands!"
"Hahaha, it turns out you know nothing, Jia Cong, you will regret it!" As he said that, the man saw all his subordinates being chopped down. They actually bit through the poison sac in their mouths and died with blood gushing from all seven orifices.
After knocking down a group of armored men, Jia Cong left the rest of the matters to his personal guards and the people from the Bingmasi.
"Sir, is your injury serious?" Teng Wu and others gathered around him, looking worried.
Jia Cong grinned, "I was careless. These bastards actually have such a sharp weapon!"
This time Jia Cong was injured because he was careless. He didn't take this small gang seriously, so he didn't wear armor. But he didn't expect that there were not only hundreds of skilled fighters, but also crossbows and even eight-ox crossbows. That's why he was stabbed in the back while dodging the crossbows.
"Don't worry, this injury is nothing. We can just go back and bandage it." Jia Cong moved slightly and felt that he had no broken bones.
"Keep an eye on everyone. I want to see who is hiding behind this! Lu Feng, you personally lead people to confiscate all their property!"
The battle lasted . More than half of the 300 gang members were killed and the rest were tied together.
"Sir!" Lu Feng walked forward. Jia Cong opened his eyes, only to see Lu Feng winking at him.
Jia Cong understood and immediately followed him to the back hall. After having someone guard the door, Lu Feng knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, I made a mistake in my work. Please punish me."
"What is it?"
"I have been ordered to confiscate all property, and I have also asked Yun Mingliang for a few men to come here."
Jia Cong nodded slightly. This was not surprising. There were only fifty personal guards in total, and some of them were injured and were bandaging their wounds. There were indeed not enough people to check the entire mansion.
Suddenly, Jia Cong's eyes narrowed, "But I found something that shouldn't be there."
Lu Feng reached into his arms, took out an account book and handed it to Jia Cong! Jia Cong flipped it open and looked at it. After a moment, a ferocious look appeared on his face, "Asshole, damn it!"
At this moment, Jia Cong finally understood what the big man said before he died! The various silver and money on this account, part of which was the Black Tiger Gang's daily income, and the other part actually involved some officials! This is fine, Jia Cong looked at these officials, they are not big officials, most of them are just remote minor officials, and they have nothing to do with him.
But there was a sum of money that actually came from Xuanzhen Temple. According to the account records, it was delivered just a few days before the New Year, a full 60,000 taels!
Xuanzhen Temple is the place where Jia Jing from the East Palace practiced Taoism. Who would believe if you said there was no connection?
What is even more obvious is that the Black Tiger Gang can be so rampant, and there is obviously a big shot behind them, and this big shot is the same person behind Jia Jing.
"call!"
Jia Cong took a deep breath to calm himself down. This was really a case of losing more than gaining! Moreover, he was no longer suitable to participate in this matter. One was the matter of military equipment, and the other was Jia Jing's participation.
After thinking for a while, Jia Cong put the account book in his arms and said, "Call Yun Mingliang, Qian Huai, Hou Jing, Shi Ci, Ma Chuang, and Xie Yun over here."
Things had developed to this point and he could no longer suppress them.
Soon, everyone arrived. When they saw Jia Cong's stern expression, they couldn't help but quiet down.
"Yun Mingliang, Hou Jing, Shi Ci, Qian Huai! Take your men and guard these houses for me. Don't leave even a fly behind. We'll discuss the rewards for you brothers after we return. The money inside cannot be touched without my order! Do it now!"
The expressions of several people changed slightly, and then they took the order and left.
