Mingdefang, Songying Lane, southwest of Bianjing City.

This alley has twenty or thirty houses. Although it is not a place of wealth and honor, it looks rich. In the eyes of outsiders, it is no different from other alleys around it. However, all this is just a manifestation. If someone who observes carefully and is smart-minded looks around for a while, he will find that there are quite a problem with the whole alley.

First, the residents here can hardly see a few people during the day, and even if there are people entering and leaving, they are still in a hurry. Second, most of the residents are young and strong men. Not to mention the elderly, children, even women rarely appear. This is too unusual in an alley with hundreds of people.

But even so, for some reason, both the surrounding residents and the officials in the Beijing government turned a blind eye to this point, and everyone just regarded it as an ordinary alley of residential houses. It was not until this day that a large group of soldiers suddenly blocked the entire Mingdefang, and two or three hundred people surrounded the entire Songying Alley. After cutting off the passage for those who were among them to go out, the residents who stayed at home to take shelter from the snow became a little nervous.

Seeing that everything here was arranged, Zhao Kangming waved his hand: "Get into the alley and get people. Anyone who dares to escape and resist will be rebellious, so there is no need to keep aside!"

The soldiers from the streets who came with him were still a little confused. When they heard such strict orders, they all widened their eyes: "Si Cheng, this is a big deal, is there a Wei Sizheng's order?"

"Why, my orders are not accurate? Just act on orders, and all responsibilities will be borne by me." Zhao Kangming narrowed his eyes and said with some unhappiness.

"But... someone has greeted me here..."

"Don't say more, and deal with the thief as accomplice! Go into the alley to get people!" Seeing that this subordinate wanted to say something, Zhao Kangming lost his patience anymore, pulled out his sword from his waist, stared at the other party with murderous aura and shouted. He scared the street official so much that he shivered. Finally, he didn't dare to say anything else, and he bit the bullet and walked into the alley with the knife first.

During this movement, the other officers and soldiers also quickly followed and rushed straight to the courtyard at the entrance of the alley. Without any extra knocking on the door, they immediately launched an offensive as soon as they had obtained military orders. Some people slammed their shoulders and hit the closed courtyard gate, and some people ran a few steps away from a distance. When they reached the wall, they jumped high. When they climbed with their hands, they quickly jumped over a low wall of one and a half high and landed steadily into the courtyard.

At this time, the resident who was cooking in the house was burning for heat and ran out to see what was going on because he heard the sound of hitting the door outside. When he saw someone climbing over the wall, the four men did not react in a silence, but subconsciously touched their waists. It was obvious that they wanted to take out some weapon, but they felt empty. Then they remembered that they had put away their weapons after they returned home.

Suddenly, two of them had quickly retreated, while the other two reacted a little and asked loudly: "Who are you and why are you trespassing in the house?"

"Bang--!" As soon as they said that the gate of the courtyard had opened, dozens of soldiers from the streets rushed in, shouting loudly: "The streets are ordered to capture the bandits, and anyone who dares to resist will be killed!" Then they rushed over fiercely.

Seeing this, the two of them felt relieved and quickly retreated and retreated. This action revealed the nature of their true problems, which made the officers and soldiers more confident and rushed towards the door. But at this moment, more than ten figures suddenly jumped out of the room on both sides of the room, scattered and ran towards both sides of the yard. There were several rooms in the yard. Just now, just people just walked out to the people facing the yard to see what was going on, and the others were still hiding. Now, seeing that the situation was not good, these people immediately moved and were about to flee.

"Where to go!" Fortunately, these officers and soldiers were prepared, and they often caught thieves everywhere on weekdays. They reacted very quickly at this time. They immediately separated the people and blocked them from both sides. They waved their swords and guns quickly and greeted the fleeing people.

But these people were also good at it. They rolled on the spot and jumped up and down to avoid these attacks. The people also rushed to the side wall and climbed hard to get on the wall. But at this time, a spear of a pole suddenly stabbed outside, which tightly sealed their way. Two of them were stabbed on their shoulders because they were too slow to react. They screamed and fell back, and then they were stabbed with swords and guns, and they didn't dare to move anymore.

Several other guys who wanted to rush to the courtyard wall also stopped quickly after seeing this scene and turned around to find other ways of retreat. But in this delay, soldiers from all sides had already surrounded them and completely surrounded them, so they were hard to get out.

In the room in the middle, after a burst of shouts and fighting, the four men were also taken down by the officers and soldiers, and the few of them were still injured.

At the same time, fighting and running screams came from the courtyards behind from time to time, but the officers and soldiers also launched a sudden attack on the courtyards behind. However, their troops were limited after all. In order to control the entire situation, they failed to attack dozens of houses in the alley at the same time. So when the outside movements were connected, the residents in the courtyards behind quickly moved.

Countless people rushed out of the yard and ran straight to the exit of the other end of the alley without any hesitation. The bandits hiding here were still very clear-headed, knowing that their homes were far from the opponent of these prepared court officers and soldiers, so they had no intention of resisting at all, just wanted to escape quickly.

But just as they rushed out in a hurry, they found that there were dozens of officers and soldiers guarding the alley at the entrance, blocking the retreat. Now, everyone became even more nervous.

"What's going on? Didn't we say that we're hiding here without any accidents, and there will be no officers and soldiers to investigate?"

"Something must have happened. Someone leaked our whereabouts... But now is not the time to think about this. The most important thing is how to escape..."

"Walking back, they have bows and arrows, and we can't rush out. There is a ditch behind them. As long as we escape there, we can get out." In the midst of a mess of war, there were still people who understand. With his greeting, these people quickly changed their direction of escape. Instead of running towards the entrance of the alley, they turned around and rushed to the wall of the alley not far away, and climbed up with all their hands and feet.

Seeing that there were about two hundred people rushing to the wall together. The edge of the alley was just made of mud, but it was not as reliable as I thought. It was kicked, kicked and crawled by so many people. Soon I couldn't bear it and it collapsed half of the side.

The person who was climbing up was suffering. He didn't even have time to make a scream, and then he smashed the mud wall heavily on the ground, unable to move for a while. However, the companions behind him didn't care about the brotherly loyalty at all. Based on the principle of self-protection, they stepped on the collapsed wall and the body of their companions and rushed forward quickly.

And this time, the dozens of officers and soldiers guarding the alley were stunned. After hesitating for a moment, they quickly divided some people to chase and capture the escaped guys. During their movement, there was a loophole in the defense line. Some clever guys took the opportunity to rush out of the alley and ran towards the entrances of the nearby ditches without any hesitation.

Suddenly, the entire Songying Lane and even the entire Mingdefang were in an extremely chaotic scene. In front were the bandits of Wuyou Cave fled everywhere, and behind were a group of soldiers from the street department, chasing and shouting, crossing the long street, running past the doors of the shops where although the doors were open but there was no business, and they were stunned by the shopkeepers and staff inside.

Fortunately, there were not many people on the street today, otherwise the chaos would have been even bigger. But because of this, the thieves and bandits' escape became smoother. In just a moment, they had arrived at the entrances of the ditches. They all jumped down without hesitation, and without stopping, and jumped into the culvert of the black wing.

This is something that Zhao Kangming could not defend against. After all, his manpower was limited, and he had to split half of it to guard the alley to catch people. The bandits who were still pursuing the number of people above his own naturally became extremely difficult. In the end, more than half of the bandits were able to escape and all fled into the underground ditches.

As a result, the officers and soldiers were caught blindly. They did not dare to chase the strange waterway without any head or tail. Not to mention that the waterway was the nest of bandits in Wuyou Cave, and once they entered the attack and defense, they would inevitably reverse. The complex roads and dark environment below were discouraged and they did not dare to work so hard for a little credit.

So when Zhao Kangming finally brought people out, he got a result that was not too satisfied with him, which made his face look less beautiful: "These guys are really skaters and escape so decisively!"

Just when he was a little confused about what to do next, another group of people rushed over on the long street ahead. When he arrived, an official first shouted seriously, "Which yamen are you from? Why are you here to take people randomly?" But an imperial guard who was patrolling the city rushed over after hearing the news. Then, they also saw the chaotic scene in the alley and the several bandits who were crushed to the ground by the street officers and soldiers. This made the official even more annoyed: "Who is you going to rebel?"

"This official is so serious. I am just following the order to capture the thieves and bandits in Wuyou Cave. Songying Lane is their nest here, and these people are bandits." Zhao Kangming was quite calm and immediately explained.

"Nonsense, I have never heard of such a thing in this for many years? They are clearly good people in the capital. You are so brave, why don't you let go of people soon." The officials on the opposite side were not affected at all and shouted loudly. With his shout, the officers and soldiers behind him raised their guns and drew their swords, surrounding Zhao Kangming and others...
