……

Captain Gao liked Jiang Dalang very much. Knowing that Jiang Dalang came to the yamen with Chen Bantou, he took him along when he was recruiting soldiers. Huang Yanglong did not mind the big deal, so he took Xiaobai and the others, as well as the martial arts master, to watch the fun.

A large group of people rushed to the Ma family in the west of the city, but when they arrived, Boss Ma had already run away.

Captain Gao was furious. He put the tip of his spear against Steward Ma's neck and asked angrily, "Where did Ma Yongbiao escape to? When did he escape? Tell me now, or you will die!"

The Ma family made money through illegal means, and the housekeeper Ma had seen a lot of storms. He was not afraid and said, "To answer your question, the New Year is coming soon, and the master is taking the two young masters back to the countryside to give New Year gifts..."

With a puff, the spear turned and the blade pierced into Steward Ma's right shoulder. Blood gushed out and soaked his jacket.

Steward Ma was horrified. He did not expect that Captain Gao would actually hurt someone. He fell to the ground in fear and said, "Sir, please do not kill me. The master and his men left half an hour ago, taking a box of gold with them, and headed for the west city gate."

Boss Ma had extensive information and when he learned that Cao Weinan and the others had been captured and that the government troops had gone to Yexiang Lane to help, he knew that things were bad. After some thought, he decided to take the gold and two armed men and escape first... After a month or two, if the government troops did not hold him, the boss, responsible, he would come back with his sons.

"You bastard, you are well-informed. You escaped so quickly. But did he think he could escape? The government has already sent orders to the guards at each city gate not to let him leave the city. You, the Ma family, can just wait to be caught in one fell swoop!" Captain Gao cursed, pointing his spear at the Ma residence and saying, "Come here, seal off the Ma residence. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Yes." A team of soldiers immediately picked up Butler Ma and dragged him into the Ma residence.

Jiang Dalang chased after them and asked the housekeeper Ma: "What size wheel did the Ma family father and son ride in?"

Butler Ma was stunned. Why did the young man ask this? But Captain Gao was here, so he had to answer: "It's a three-inch big wheel."

After getting the answer, Jiang Dalang turned around, walked down the stairs and returned to the team.

The soldiers dragged the housekeeper Ma into the house, closed the front, back and corner doors, sealed them, and stood guard at the door.

"Go to the west gate and chase Boss Ma!" Captain Gao took Jiang Dalang and the soldiers and ran towards the west gate together.

When he arrived at the west gate, he was almost angry to death. He dismounted and grabbed the soldier guarding the gate, angrily saying: "What did you say? The Ma family's carriage has already left the city? Who told you to let him out? Didn't you receive the document from the government office?"

The guards at the west gate all knelt down and trembled as they said, "To answer the captain's question, they did leave the city... The document was delivered after they left the city, and Lin Tou has already rushed back to the government office to report."

Bang! Captain Gao kicked the soldier who was replying and cursed: "The suspect has escaped, but you don't want to go out of the city to hunt him down, but just report it. What's the point of reporting it?!"

Captain Gao was furious and pointed at the guards, saying, "Wash your skins clean and I will come back to deal with you!"

After saying this, he mounted his horse and led his soldiers out of the city to chase after Boss Ma.

Jiang Dalang had been paying attention to the wheel tracks on the ground. After running a few dozen meters, he shouted, "Captain, the wheel tracks have become shallower. I'm afraid that Boss Ma got off the car and changed the route."

Captain Gao frowned when he heard this, but remembering that Jiang Dalang had led them to find the cave where the thieves were hiding in Fenfang Courtyard, he stopped his horse and said, "Tell me more."

Jiang Dalang pointed at the wheel tracks and said, "This is the track of a three-inch wheel. It should be the car that Boss Ma was riding in. But the track here is half as shallow as the track when we just left the city. It can be seen that someone got off the car when it arrived here."

With less weight in the car, the ruts became shallower.

Jiang Dalang looked around again, and after checking back and forth for several meters, he replied: "Sir, there is a trail of footprints that have been cleared in the south, going straight to the south. The Ma family members who got off the car should have taken this route to the village in the south."

Captain Gao immediately said, "Old Zhou, you take half of the troops and chase after him along the wheel tracks. The rest of you, follow me and follow the footprints. I don't believe that we won't be able to catch a Ma who is doing something illegal!"

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately divided into two teams and followed two different trails.

"Jiang boy, follow me." Captain Gao said, and led his soldiers to chase to the south. After chasing for more than three quarters of an hour, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting.

In the withered forest ahead, two groups of people were fighting with weapons. One of the groups was the thugs from the Jinfu Casino. Boss Ma was holding a box, hiding behind the thugs, staring at the leader on the opposite side with hatred: "Tang Changan, you bastard, how dare you block my way? Do you, the Da'an Coach Inn, want to stop in the west of the city?!"

Tang Changan looked at him coldly with murderous intent in his eyes: "Ma Yongbiao, if we let you escape today, our Da'an Inn will be doomed!"

Seeing that Tang Changan was not understanding, Ma Yongbiao was furious and asked, "Tang Changan, are you going to give way even if you die?"

Tang Changan sneered: "If not, anyone can leave today, except you, Ma Yongbiao!"

He then said to the thugs of Jinfu Casino: "Ma Yongbiao has a personal grudge against my family. Today I am only targeting him. If you don't want to be accidentally injured, you can rob Ma Yongbiao's gold and leave on your own!"

What the hell?

Allow them to rob Boss Ma’s gold?

After hearing this, the thugs' eyes glowed green with greed, and they all looked at the box that Ma Yongbiao was protecting... A box of gold. If they could get this box of gold, they could go to the capital and live a carefree life. They wouldn't have to work as thugs for gambling houses and earn that meager monthly salary!

How loyal can someone who makes money through illegal means be? The thugs were all tempted.

Ma Yongbiao thought it was not good, and hurriedly took out several packets of poison, holding them high and said, "If you don't want to die, don't come over... Tang Changan, you forced me to do this, this time, even if it means taking a risk, I will kill you!"

When the thugs of Jinfu Casino saw that Ma Yongbiao had poison, they were so scared that they dared not betray him again and shouted, "Tang Changan, kneel down and apologize to our boss, or we will kill you!"

Tang Chang'an stared at the medicine bag in Ma Yongbiao's hand with a gloomy face... He was not afraid of death, nor did he think that Ma Yongbiao's poison would have the effect of killing someone with one sword, but what if?

He didn't want his brothers in the inn to die for him, so he finally said, "You guys step back, I can take down Ma Yongbiao myself."

“Hahaha, Tang Changan, what bullshit are you talking about? You think you can take me down by yourself? You’re dreaming!” Ma Yongbiao laughed and threatened with poison in hand: “Those of you in Daan Inn who don’t want to die with Tang Changan, subdue him right now!”

This bastard wants to force them to take action against the shopkeeper?

The innkeeper was furious: "Ma Yongbiao, don't try to deceive people by showing off a pack of fake medicine. Let me tell you, even if it's real poison, we won't abandon the shopkeeper!"

"You are a bunch of ungrateful people, you deserve to die!" Ma Yongbiao was completely enraged. After taking the antidote, he opened the medicine bag and prepared to throw poison to harm people.

pity……

Whoosh!

The sharp arrow came flying and pierced his arm directly. The poison fell and the poison powder scattered. All the thugs of Jinfu Casino were harmed by the poison. They had difficulty breathing and knelt on the ground twitching.

"Damn it! This Ma Yongbiao really dares to use poison to kill people!" Captain Gao was shocked and praised Jiang Dalang: "Jiang boy, your archery skills are really amazing. You subdued Ma Yongbiao with one arrow."
