Need for money

Zhang Shaojie heard Wang Tian's words, and in order to show his loyalty, he rushed all the way to Jiancheng without stopping. After entering the city gate, he rode on his horse and asked a passerby the location of Tianji's mansion. He rode his horse and galloped over.

For him, time is very important, and he must not let the other eyeliners arranged by Tian Ji report the news first, so seeing that the guards on the opposite side have put on a defensive posture, he just explained loudly, and did not stop the horse in time .

At this moment, more than [-] sergeants holding longbows suddenly poured out from the gate of the Tian Mansion. Seeing that his horse was fast, they put up their bows and shot arrows without hesitation.

What are people in the world most afraid of?It is the strong bow and crossbow in the army!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

More than twenty spiked arrows shone coldly, with the slightest sound of breaking the wind, and came straight to Zhang Shaojie on the horse. Zhang Shaojie was riding on the horse, and when he saw a large group of archers pouring out in front of him, he realized that something was wrong, but he thought I came here to tip off the news, so I just need to open my mouth to explain a few words.

But he never thought that before he opened his mouth, he saw the other party let go of the bowstring.

There are more than [-] sharp arrows in front of him, locking his whole body. If there is a cover next to him, or if his feet are on the ground, he may be able to escape, but now, he is shocked. He took a deep breath, but after all Zhang Shaojie has extraordinary martial arts skills, and he has real skills. He suddenly pulled the reins, and the red horse under the seat suddenly stopped and stood upright. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shaojie turned over and landed, holding the saddle with both arms, With a sudden force, the horse with its two hooves on its back was pressed to the ground, and he himself just hid behind the horse.

"Puff, puff, puff..." Several spiked arrows pierced into the bay red horse's stomach and neck in an instant, blood splashed everywhere, the horse let out a hoarse wail, and died.

Seeing that the archers failed to kill the opponent, they were all shocked. Just as they waited to shoot again, Zhang Shaojie's voice finally came, "Stop, don't shoot, I came from Los Angeles to report the news!"

It can be heard that Zhang Shaojie's voice trembled a little. If he hadn't responded in time, he would have turned into a corpse at this moment!

The sergeant here hesitated when he heard the words, and a guard leader shouted loudly: "We can trust you, throw the weapon at the waist aside, crawl on the ground, and don't move."

Being pointed at by more than twenty spiked arrows, Zhang Shaojie didn't dare to be disobedient, so he untied the long sword from his waist and threw it aside, while he crawled on the ground enduring the humiliation.

Seeing this, the leader summoned a sergeant and gave some instructions.

After the sergeant heard the words, he hurried into the mansion to get a rope, then carefully came to Zhang Shaojie's side, and tied him up.

The sergeant tied it so tightly that Zhang Shaojie couldn't move his hands.

At this time, the leader of the guard came over with a few men holding spears, and said with a straight face: "You are so brave, you dare to gallop in front of Lord Zhizhou's mansion on horseback! Don't you Do you know that even if a fifth-rank official of the imperial court comes to visit Tian Mansion, they have to get off the sedan chair in advance!"

Zhang Shaojie used to be from the Jianghu, so how could he understand this, his face flushed red when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.

"What do you have to report to your lord?" the guard leader asked again.

Zhang Shaojie hurriedly said: "A major incident happened in Luo City, I want to report it to Mr. Tian face to face!"

The leader of the guards saw that Zhang Shaojie's eager expression did not seem to be fake, nodded, and hurriedly led him into the gate of the Tianfu. The Tianfu occupies a huge area, with hundreds of winding corridors and long pavilions. After walking for a long time, he came to the door of Tianfu's study room. The leader of the guards asked for instructions at the door. After hearing that he was allowed to enter, he asked Zhang Shaojie to wait, and he went in to report. After a while, Just let him in.

As soon as he stepped through the threshold, someone shouted, "You bastard, don't kneel down!"

Immediately afterwards, his knees were kicked hard, and he knelt down on the ground with a bang. When he was walking in the rivers and lakes before, he was free and easy. How had he ever kneeled down like this before?

A sense of humiliation spread from his heart, and he clenched his fists instinctively.

"Who is coming?" A majestic voice sounded from the main seat in front.

Zhang Shaojie lowered his head, and quickly replied: "My lord, the lowly position is the deputy head arrester of the Six Doors of Los Angeles, and Zhang Shaojie is under Lord Wang's subordinate."

"Oh? Then what are you doing in Jiancheng?"

Previously, Zhang Shaojie saw several people sitting in the room, and he didn't know what these people were doing, so he didn't dare to reveal that he had a close relationship with Wang Tian's, "Master Hui, I came to Jiancheng this time to inform you , Lord City Guard was stabbed by gangsters during the trial in the lobby during the day and was seriously injured!"

Zhang Shaojie had excellent eyesight, and he could tell that Wang Meng was not dead, but seriously injured.

"What!" The person sitting in the seat was Tian Ji, even though he was calm and sophisticated, he was shocked when he heard that Wang Meng was assassinated during the court trial!

Who is the murderer?Why do you want to assassinate him?

Zhang Shaojie hurriedly said it again, and after finishing speaking, he secretly raised his head, took a look at Tian Ji, and then quickly lowered his head.

Tian Ji was in his fifties, not tall, with a solemn complexion, sharp eyes, and a three-inch gray beard on his chin. He was frowning at this moment, very majestic.

"Master Wang was assassinated by gangsters. You should stay in Los Angeles to arrest the suspect. Why did you give up your business and come here to correspond with me?" After being surprised, Tian Ji asked in a deep voice.

"This..." Zhang Shaojie raised his head and glanced around.

"It's okay, these are my confidantes, if you have anything to say, just speak up." Tian Ji smiled at the people around him, and said again.

"Yes, in fact, Humble is Wang Tian's right-hand man, and there is a letter written by her in my chest."

Wang Tian's?

Tian Ji was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes swept back and forth on Zhang Shaojie's handsome face, secretly surprised, could it be that little girl has become more beautiful recently?Otherwise, how could it be possible to win such a handsome young man?

Obviously, Tian Ji knew Wang Tian's family very well.

"Come here, take out the letter." Tian Ji gave an order, and the previous guard leader strode forward quickly, searched out the letter from Zhang Shaojie's lapel, then bent down, and presented it respectfully in front of Tian Ji .

After receiving the letter, Tian Ji recognized Wang Tian's handwriting at a glance. After reading the contents, he waved his hand lightly, signaling to untie Zhang Shaojie, "Tian Ji was assassinated by gangsters while trying the case of the Lin family?"

"Yes, I was also present at the time." Zhang Shaojie's arms were tied for a long time, his blood was not flowing, and he felt a dull pain. While answering, he moved around secretly.

"Hmph! You are the deputy head arrester of Six Doors, but you can't even protect the superior. Thankfully, you have the guts to admit that you are also on the scene!"

Suddenly, a voice came in, making Zhang Shaojie's face burn.
