Chapter three hundred and seventy first gongs and drums
"Who?" When Xiao Cuifeng came to the yard where Tan Zong was located, the two Zhao family servants guarding in front of the yard blocked her way, and one of them shouted in a deep voice.
The next moment, the servant recognized Xiao Cui and asked in surprise, "Miss Xiao Cui, why don't you rest after so late?"
"My eldest son wants me to come and find Mr. Chen." Xiao Cui forced herself to smile at the Zhao family clerk and said.
When the two Zhao family members heard this, they looked at each other and went a long way: Xiao Cui came here so late, so she must have something urgent to ask Tan Zong.
Seeing that the two of them had made way, Xiao Cui quickly walked towards the east wing where Tan Zong lived. When she was about to reach Tan Zong's bedroom, a black shadow suddenly flashed out from the side and blocked her way.
"My eldest son has something to hand over to Mr. Chen." Xiao Cui was startled by the person who suddenly appeared. He looked up and Chen stared at her expressionlessly. She patted her chest with lingering fear and said anxiously.
"What do your young master want you to give me?" At this moment, the bedroom door opened, Tan Zong walked out of it and asked in a deep voice.
Because of his excessive excitement, Tan Zong couldn't sleep. He just stood in front of the window and looked up at the starry night sky. In later generations, due to the pollution of industrial waste gas and urban life waste gas, the sky was far less clear than it is now.
When Xiao Cui entered the yard, Tan Zong noticed her. He recognized that the anxious maid was Min Tianhao's man. There must be something urgent to come here at this time, so he opened the door.
"Mr. Chen, this is written by my eldest son." When Xiao Cui saw Tan Zong, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down and pulled out the ball of paper from her shoes and handed it to him.
Taking advantage of the stars in the sky, Tan Zong opened the paper ball. After reading it, his face changed. Images of Song Gaoming appeared in his mind. It must be that Song Gaoming realized something was wrong and ran to Baishan Town to check it out.
In order to avoid being discovered by Min De's people, except for the big men who were supporting him, Tan Zong's people were all in Baishan Town, which made Song Gaoming easily come to the Min family without any obstacles.
Due to Song Gaoming's sudden appearance, Tan Zong's original plan was disrupted. He frowned and knew that he had to make a decision now, otherwise the situation would become quite serious.
"You go find Mr. Xu Zong and ask him to take someone to Min De's residence." After a moment of contemplation, Tan Zong made up his mind and said in a deep voice to Chen Si who was beside him.
Chen Si nodded and walked out of the courtyard gate with big strides. Tan Zong then looked at Xiao Cui and told her with a serious expression, "Miss Xiao Cui, don't take anything now, leave the Min family quickly and go outside the town."
Although Xiao Cui was not clear about it, from Tan Zong's serious expression and tone, she knew that something big was going to happen to the Min family, so she nodded and left with panic.
"Young Master, what are we going to do now?" At this time, Chen San jumped down from a big tree next to him and asked Tan Zong in a low voice.
"Capture the thief and capture the king!" Tan Zong turned his head and looked at Chen San, and said expressionlessly, "You go outside the town to inform your brothers and let them come over."
"Young master, take care of yourself." Chen San knew that Tan Zong was going to capture Min De, so he bowed to him and climbed over the wall and left.
"Cousin, cousin!" Then, Tan Zong walked towards Zhao Yan's bedroom and reached out to knock on the door vigorously.
"Cousin, is there any news about cousin's wife and Rongrong?" The door opened quickly. Zhao Yan, wearing big shorts and shirtless, appeared in front of Tan Zong and asked nervously.
Apart from the news about Qiao Yu, Rongrong and others, Zhao Yan couldn't think of anything that could make Tan Zong knock on his door so anxiously in the middle of the night.
"Don't worry, Rongrong is outside the town, it's very safe now." Tan Zong stared at Zhao Yan with a bright look and said in a deep voice, "Min De colluded with the Japanese bandits, and the crime is unforgivable. Are you willing to capture him with this official?"
"Cousin...Cousin, what are you... talking about?" Zhao Yan was stunned when he heard this, looking at Tan Zong with a blank look on his face. He couldn't understand what Tan Zong said just now for a moment.
"I am not Chen Tianxing, but the imperial court ordered an official. He came to investigate the Japanese bandits thoroughly under the orders of Prince An and the official family. Now there is definite evidence that Min De secretly colluded with Japanese bandits. Now I want to arrest him and bring him to justice. Are you willing to assist me?" Tan Zong looked at Zhao Yan solemnly and said word by word.
"Min... Master Min colluded with Japanese bandits?" Zhao Yan stared at Tan Zong in a daze for a while, looking incredible. Then he moved his Adam's apple and swallowed a big saliva hard, and asked in shock.
Compared with Tan Zong's identity, the fact that Min De was associated with the Japanese bandits surprised Zhao Yan even more.
"The evidence is conclusive!" Tan Zong nodded with a serious expression, "Those Japanese bandits are hiding in the mountains now!"
"Pret...Master...Master, what did you ask me to do?" Facing Tan Zong with a firm expression, Zhao Yan finally came back from his shock and asked in a deep voice. He originally wanted to call Tan Zong as his cousin, but later he felt it was inappropriate, so he called him "Master".
"Gather all subordinates to arrest Min De." Tan Zong stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder, "A man is a real man, and he will make achievements and glorify his ancestors. This is a move."
Zhao Yan understood what Tan Zong meant, and couldn't help but become excited and excited. He knew very well that if he could make a contribution in the capture of Min De and the encirclement and suppression of Japanese bandits, the Zhao family would definitely become famous in Jiangnan, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Don't worry, sir, Zhao Yan knows how to do it." Zhao Yan arched to Tan Zong and began to greet the Zhao family servants in various rooms in the yard.
When I heard that I was going to arrest Min De, who colluded with Japanese bandits, the Zhao family's servants became excited after a brief shock. Under the leadership of Tan Zong and Zhao Yan, they carried a knife and rushed to Min De's residence with a fierce look.
Meanwhile, Min De's bedroom.
"You rebellious son, you actually did such a tragic thing." Min De, with a pale face, reached out to take off the long sword hanging on the wall, and put it on Min Tianhao's neck angrily.
When Min Tianhao saw Song Gaoming in the room, he knew that the matter of taking Zhao Shiting could no longer be hidden from Min De, so he told Min De that Lei Hong was from the government, but he did not indicate Tan Zong's true identity.
Min Tianhao did not make any moral excuses for his behavior. He admitted frankly that he did this to leave a way out for himself, which made Min De angry and pulled out the sword on the wall.
"Dad, my son will only be repaid for his nurturing in the next life." Looking at Min De with anger, Min Tianhao smiled sadly, slowly closed his eyes, and waited for death. Although he was dead, his children would escape under the protection of Tan Zong.
Looking at Min Tianhao who was waiting to die with his eyes closed, Min De's face turned pale. As the saying goes, "The tiger will not eat the child." Min Tianhao is his favorite son. He has watched him grow up since childhood and has countless warm scenes of deep father-son love. Although he was extremely angry, he could not do this ruthless move to Min Tianhao no matter what.
"Brother Min, it's not time to go. We must notify the Japanese quickly. Without the Japanese cover, we cannot escape from Baishan Town." Song Gaoming's mood was cold to freezing point at this time, and his face turned pale and said to Min De. Since the government already knew that the Japanese bandits were in Baishan Town, they must have made arrangements. Maybe a large number of officers were coming to Baishan Town. Only by attracting the attention of the Japanese troops could they escape in the chaos.
Upon hearing this, Min De's hand trembled slightly. Song Gaoming's words were clear, and he wanted to kill Min Tianhao, who betrayed the organization.
For some reason, Min Tianhao, who was already tall and majestic, suddenly returned to his childhood in Min De's eyes. Min Tianhao's childhood events were like a movie, and scenes emerged in his mind.
"Brother Min, what are you waiting for?" Seeing that Min De was unable to take action for a long time, Song Gaoming, who was standing beside him, suddenly became anxious. The situation is now critical, and it will be more dangerous if one minute is delayed.
"Okay, since you want to die, then I will fulfill your wish!" Min De's eyes flashed with cold light when he heard this, and he said coldly at Min Tianhao.
Min Tianhao breathed a deep breath. Faced with the upcoming death, he did not feel afraid, but felt relieved, and finally escaped from the whirlpool of the Min family.
Moreover, Min Tianhao believes that his life was originally given by Min De, and it is natural to take it back to Min De.
Just as Min Tianhao was begging for death, a scream suddenly came from his ears. He subconsciously opened his eyes and was stunned. Min De stabbed the long sword in his hand into Song Gaoming's chest.
Because Min De's sword was too hard, the sword body had already penetrated Song Gaoming's body, and the tip of the sword came out from behind Song Gaoming, and blood dripped onto the ground.
"You...why do you do this?" Song Gaoming looked at the sword body that pierced into his chest and looked at Min De in disbelief.
"You actually asked me to kill my son. Do you know that all I did is not only for the Min family, but also for him." Min De's expression was a little ferocious, and he looked at Song Gaoming with a sneer.
"If you kill me, aren't you afraid of the organization's punishment?" Song Gaoming reached out and grabbed Min De's shoulder, and blood flowed out of his mouth.
"Our Min family is about to be in trouble. Now, what else do you think I have to be scary?" Min De laughed, then he stirred the sword in his hand hard and pulled the sword body out of Song Gaoming's body. "But one thing I can be sure of is that you will die before me!"
Song Gaoming covered his chest and took two steps back, a large amount of blood overflowed from his mouth. His lips moved a few times, trying to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. His body shook and fell to the ground with a thud. After twitching a few times, he stopped moving. His eyes were wide open to the ceiling, looking at the eyes of death.
