The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 18 Male and female thieves
After all, Gong Yuqing called the family's servants, wrote a letter and sent it out.

This letter was sent to the largest and most popular brothel in the county, Jinfenglou, that night.

In the gold-selling cave, there was a bare-chested man with scars all over his body, enjoying a massage in a piece of nephrite jade, and a group of girls waited on him, feeling very comfortable.Strangely, on the soft couch not far away, there was actually a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair and half-jawed shoulders. Under the service of the two girls, she closed her eyes and rested herself, drowsy.

The servant delivered the letter, but the woman picked it up first and read it.

"Hmph, the Gong family has another dirty job for us to do!" the woman said.

The man didn't say anything, he just changed his posture, patted the massage girl's jade hand, and signaled to continue.

The woman got up and walked over, waved the girls to step back, and took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the man's waist.

"Don't sit down, our waist has been injured, you know it, girl." The man said lazily.

"It's quite enjoyable, don't lie down, come to live!" The woman patted him.

It turns out that this couple is really a pair of male and female, Jin Sangu, who is known as the Scorpion Lady in the Jianghu, and her husband Zhang Yan.

The two of them don't know if they were brothers and sisters or cousins, but because of their eccentric personalities, they were not accepted by others and ended up living in the world.They are skilled in martial arts but do not take the right path. They are ruthless and merciless, and have committed many serious crimes.Zhang Yan often used a boning knife. When encountering enemies, he was often naked, his eyes were red, and he was not afraid of death, just like a demon, while Jin Sangu was good at using poison. She once poisoned a monk in a temple to death because she failed to hook up with a young monk when she went to worship Buddha.

After passing through Nanyang, he was recruited by the palace family to support him, and he specially handled some shady activities for his family.Many bitter masters who had their fields taken away before, as well as officials who did not cooperate, were poisoned.

"What are you doing this time?" Zhang Yan asked.

"Teach the new master Guan Xiu a lesson. He is proud and lofty, and he is afraid of causing trouble. He has a younger brother who came to Nanyang with him to take up the post. I heard that he is still a baby. Gong Yuqing asked us to capture him and give him to Guan. Repair a warning, if he still doesn't bow his head, there is a handle in his hand so he can handle him."

"Hey, it's an easy job. I'll go by myself tomorrow night. Sister, just rest."

One day later, at night, Guan Yuan and the two were still discussing in the room what evidence could be used to crucify the county magistrate Wang Yunxuan and the wealthy households.

The two of them discussed for a long time, and felt that the previous tax data can only be regarded as indirect evidence, and they still have to find the concealed land records, so as to prove the crimes of the wealthy households in Nanyang embezzling land and avoiding national taxes. It is best to find the county magistrate to accept it. Evidence of bribery can catch them all.

At this time, there was a soft sound outside the house, but someone touched the firewood piled up under the window.Guan Yuan raised his finger to signal Guan Xiu's quiet voice, only to hear that the county office was extremely quiet at the moment, not even a dog barking outside the gate.

Guan Yuan knew there must be something weird, raised his mind, pulled Guan Xiu away from the window, and hid secretly on the side of the wall.

After a while, I saw a hollow wooden stick protruding from the window.Guan Yuan knew that according to the rules of the world, some stun drugs would be blown in right now.

Guan Yuan approached secretly, before waiting for the mist to blow in, he slapped the top of the wooden stick with his iron palm, only felt that the other side was pushed into some flesh, and let out a muffled groan.

The two brothers hurried out of the room, but saw that Zhang Yan was covering his mouth and nose under the window, his hands were covered with blood, obviously his teeth and tongue were injured.

Zhang Yan's eyes were filled with resentment, and he pointed at them, but he was speechless.

Guan Yuan knew that this must be someone sent by Nanyang people to use some indiscriminate methods, so he stepped forward to arrest him.

I saw that Guan Yuan didn't draw out his long sword, but with his bare hands, he used the Poyu Fist of Huashan School, and threw it straight at Zhang Yan's face.

Zhang Yan was suffering from pain, he didn't dare to fight back, when he got short, a lazy donkey rolled over and hid, before he got up, Guan Yuan attacked again, so he had to draw out his dagger to fight with him.

"Hey, you man, you still have some martial arts." Guan Yuan shouted lightly.

It turned out that Zhang Yan used to travel around the rivers and lakes, mostly relying on being ruthless and forcing people's minds, but his real skills were mediocre.This time, Guan Yuan took the initiative, messed up his mind, and made his subordinates even more chaotic.

In less than ten strokes, Zhang Yan wanted to use a sharp blade to force Guan Yuan back, but Guan Yuan resorted to the method of slapping his ribs with his palm, and suddenly lost all strength.

"Li, Li, Li doesn't talk about Hude (no Wude)!" Zhang Yan scolded.

"You want to use ecstasy, and what are you talking about martial arts with you, a burglar!" Guan Yuan laughed angrily, and then touched several big acupuncture points around Zhang Yan, and the latter couldn't move immediately.

Guan Yuan carried Zhang Yan into the house, tied him up, untied his dumb acupoints, and began to interrogate him.

Zhang Yan saw that he acted decisively and was also a ruthless person, so he knew all the answers, and confessed to the county magistrate and the Gong family.

Guan Yuan asked him again about the Gong family's occupation of the land and fraudulent tax evasion.

Although Zhang Yan and his wife were doing all kinds of bad things for the Gong family, they also kept their eyes open and overheard a lot of secrets.

"Eh, I heard that the palace doesn't care about eating in the county. Hey, I even left a title deed. Hiss, the title deed is originally hidden at home. After drinking, the palace family will have evil intentions. The master in my hand is a little bit tricky."

(I heard that the county magistrate was still worried about Gong Yuqing, and left a set of rubbings of the land deed, which he hid at home, in case the palace family would have evil intentions in the future, and he would have some bargaining chips in his hand.)
Zhang Yan said with difficulty.

"Those land deeds Haben, the dog is hiding in Wang Yunxuan's private house in Chi County."

(The rubbings of the title deeds are hidden in the private house of Wang Yunxuan, the county magistrate.)
After hearing this, Guan Yuan and Guan Xiu looked at each other with joy in their eyes. The key evidence finally surfaced.

Afterwards, Guan Yuan slapped Zhang Yan unconscious, and discussed with Guan Xiu a plan.

The two brothers discussed it without further ado, so let's make a move.

Guan Xiu escorted Zhang Yan to the county government hall.

Didn't the county keep saying that it was arresting male and female thieves? The thief who came to the master's room to steal in the middle of the night was one of the thieves. Now he is tied up in the hall, and quickly called the county magistrate and other adults to come and interrogate.

Even if Wang Yunxuan, the county magistrate, came to make a move in the open, he would not say anything in public, let alone hurt Guan Xiu.

On the other hand, Guan Yuan used lightness kung fu and rushed to the magistrate's private house, taking advantage of Wang Yunxuan to go out to search for evidence.

So the two split up and acted.

Guan Yuan rang the big drum in the county hall, and all the people in the county hall were gathered in a short while.

Everyone looked at Zhang Yan who was bundled into rice dumplings, and lost their minds for a moment, they just waited for Wang Yunxuan to preside over the overall situation.

After a while, Wang Yunxuan rushed to the county government office angrily.He was originally in his private house, studying the mysteries of heaven and earth and the truth of the universe with his newly bought concubine, but he heard what the servants said that the male and female thieves had caught them, and they were still caught in the master's room.Had to hurry over.
