Seeing this, Nie Shan rushed to the front of the team with an angry face and shouted loudly: "I am Nie Shan, the governor of Kaifeng. I am arresting the old man who kidnapped the officials and their families. Please get out of the way and retreat.

aside!"

In the eyes of Nie Shan and other government officials, these imperial guards would definitely obey him after hearing his name.

Unexpectedly, this group of imperial guards were waiting in full formation, with no intention of retreating.

"Are you trying to stop me from handling the case? Who is in charge? Come out and answer the question quickly!"

Nie Shan was so angry that his face was livid. He was worried that if the delay continued, the culprit would be let go, so he couldn't help but take action.

"Xiaguan Dongxiang Imperial Guard Commander Meng Kui pays homage to Mr. Fu Yin!"

A middle-aged officer with a big belly walked out of the Xiang Forbidden Army calmly and lightly raised his hand to Nie Shan.

Meng Kui?

The nephew of Meng Changling, the Minister of Civil Affairs?

Aren't they from Prime Minister Cai? How could they come to obstruct me regardless of Mr. Cai Youcai's face?

Is Wang Fu up to something? Or is the Meng family involved in Lao Gangzi's affair?

Nie Shan narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Kui with an unkind look and said, "I learned that a group of old men were fleeing towards the Peach Blossom Cave and were leading people to surround them. Why did you lead people to stop me?

If the thief is let go, or something happens to the official's family, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Old pole? What old pole?

When Lan Tiju and Tan Tiju heard that there was chaos in Bianjing, they asked the officials to report it and ordered us to lead troops to help maintain public order in Bianjing.

I've been patrolling here for nearly half an hour and haven't seen any old poles. Could it be that Mr. Fu Yin's information is wrong?"

Meng Kui pretended to be confused in an official tone.

While talking, he also asked his subordinates: "Have you seen anyone suspicious?"

Previously, Han Hu sent his confidants to pretend to surrender and lead the way with the intention of killing Nie Shan and Jiang Chen; at the same time, he targeted the family members of some beautiful and famous officials;

I originally thought that Nie Shan and Jiang Chen would be doomed, but unexpectedly, Jiang Chen escaped due to the accidental discovery of Pufa Temple; Nie Shan was only slightly injured under the protection of experts.

What Han Hu, Guo Haochu and others didn't expect was that Jiang Chen's so-called blockade was completely different from what they imagined.

Instead of just blocking the underground entrance, they went deep underground to cut off various passages with cement and large rocks, paralyzing the entire underground traffic.

This also caused those old guys who robbed women to change several routes to get to the underground palace. In addition, the back roads were blocked, so they had no choice but to walk out of the secret passage, planning to go to the Peach Blossom Cave to lurk first.

As a result, he was seen by the government officials who were watching from high places, and Nie Shan was encircled and suppressed.

Fortunately, Lan Congxi did not dare to look down on Jiang Chen and Nie Shan, and had a back-up plan in advance. He sent out the East Chamber Forbidden Army on the grounds of maintaining public security in Bianjing, and that was how Cai Kui came to stop them.

"No! You can't see a beggar on the street now. Where did the old pole come from?"

Several Imperial Guard commanders shook their heads at the same time.

As the Xiang Forbidden Army, they had no good fortune at all. The only source of high income was the filial piety of the veterans and the constant replacement of camp prostitutes, so they were full of hostility towards Nie Shan and Jiang Chen's encirclement and suppression of the veterans.

"What beggar?

Now the old pole has long been disguised as a common people, including the group of people who just passed by who held women hostage! Didn't you see it too?

Why don't you quickly get out of the way of me? If you dare to stop me, don't blame me for going to the officials to vouch for you!"

Nie Shan found that Meng Kui seemed to be deliberately delaying time, and he felt angry.

"What?

The group of people who passed by just now were actually old people? It’s impossible, right? Aren’t all old people beggars?”

Meng Kui had an 'incredible' look on his face, slapped his thigh suddenly, and said angrily: "Oh no! It seems that I have fallen into a trap!"

With that said, he turned around and ordered: "Quick! Get me to form a team quickly! I will assist Mr. Fu Yin in catching the thief today!"

"yes!"

Hundreds of soldiers of the imperial army procrastinated in agreement, and then arranged their formations in a chaotic and ink-stained manner.

It took half an hour to complete the arrangements, and then Nie Shan rushed into Jingde Lane with Nie Shan's face turning pale.

"Damn it!

Are they trying to catch the thief? They are obviously deliberately delaying time and stopping me from waiting!"

Upon seeing this, Cui Shuo, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, frowned at Nie Shan and reminded: "Master Fu Yin, the matter of the underground old pole is probably more complicated than we originally thought.

The Meng family has deep roots and strong influence, and Lan Tiju is a close confidant of the official family. If they are all involved in this matter, I'm afraid..."

"snort!

What is there to be afraid of? It’s not us who should be afraid, but those corrupt officials who have done bad things!

When all the underground passages are blocked and the old poles have nowhere to hide, I want to see how they end up!"

Nie Shan looked bitterly at the Xiang Imperial Army who were marching very slowly in front of them, blocking all the government officials behind them, and ordered:

"Judge Cui, you lead people to surround this place from the outside, and I will follow you in to see what tricks they can pull off!"

After saying that, Nie Shan followed into the alley.

There was a mocking smile on Meng Kui's lips, and he didn't care about Nie Shan's arrangements, because he knew that as long as those old men entered the Taohuadong brothel, Nie Shan would never be able to catch anyone again.

The facts were exactly as he expected.

Nie Shancheng surrounded and sealed off the Taohua Cave area. After a search, even the old pole and the abducted women could not be found.

"Where did the person go? He should be hiding in this brothel!"

Nie Shan stared at the various buildings of the brothel, frowned, and after thinking for a while, he ordered Cui Shuo and others: "I suspect that there is a secret passage to the underground here, please search carefully again for me immediately.

Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we still have to find those officials and their families!"

"yes!"

Cui Shuo agreed and took action.

Unexpectedly, a sneer suddenly came: "Master Fu Yin, what are you going to do?

They asked you to search, firstly, to give you face, and secondly, to prove your innocence. Is Mr. Fu Yin still going to go too far and tear down his business?"

kindness?

Lan Congxi?

Nie Shan's face was full of surprise, and he frowned and said: "Master Lan, why are you here?"

nonsense!

If I don't come here, why don't you demolish the Taohuadong brothel?

Lan Congxi looked unhappy and said with an arrogant attitude: "You and Jiang Chen have caused chaos in Bianjing and people are in panic. Our family requested an order to come out to check for your leaks and fill them!

Our house here has been carefully searched before you came, and you have also searched it, and there is no suspicious person, so Mr. Fu Yin should go elsewhere!"

Go somewhere else?

Nie Shan frowned and said coldly: "Mr. Lan, my subordinates saw with their own eyes that a group of old men disguised as common people took several official women hostage and fled here. They were not found. How can I leave?"

go?"
Chapter completed!
