You have arrested the wrong person. I am not XXXX, I am an innocent citizen... Those officials at the prison who have been dealing with criminals all year round are tired of hearing these words.

"Shut up!" The Tongxin punched the young man who kept shouting "I am not from the anti-barbarian group" with extremely rough movements. "How many times do you think I have heard similar words?

"

Facing the "three rounds" of Nanfansuo officers who were far more numerous than them, most of the members of the anti-barbarian group had no intention of fighting.

They fled and were captured one by one by the officers who had surrounded them.

The few people who were more aggressive and wanted to fight to the death with their swords were quickly suppressed by the officers who had absolute advantages in numbers and equipment.

In less than 10 minutes, the gang of thieves who broke into Ryogoku Hiro alley and tried to rob the shops here were all caught, without a single fish being caught.

A temporary officer from the Nanban Police Station proudly looked at the thieves who were being pushed to the ground in various postures, with a look of relief on his face.

He raised his eyes and looked at the surrounding shops.

If it hadn't been for someone's tip-off, which allowed their enforcement office to obtain relevant information in advance, the merchants on Ryogoku Guangxiao Road might have suffered tonight.

Thinking of this, Yu Li couldn't help but feel terrified.

"Hmph!" Yuli looked away from the surrounding shops and laughed contemptuously at the middle-aged man in front of him who was still pressed to the ground and whose body had been tied up like a rice dumpling. "What are you talking about?"

"Group'... it's really funny, the name is really nice, but in the end you are no different from those 'anti-foreign patriots' who often make trouble everywhere."

"Using the banner of 'repelling foreigners', we do all kinds of despicable things that only bully our own people."

Yu Li originally thought that the middle-aged man would show unwillingness and anger after hearing his taunts, and then he would raise his head and "argue" with him - after all, Yu Li had seen similar scenes.

Been through it too many times.

As long as the so-called "great cause of resisting the foreigners" practiced by some "repelling the foreigners" is questioned, they will immediately shout angrily like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, "What do you know?"

Everything you do is for this country." "You government lackeys can't understand the ambitions of patriots like us"...

But who would have expected - after hearing Yu Li's harsh ridicule, this middle-aged man actually showed an expression that Yu Li had never expected.

This middle-aged man...raised his head with a confused look on his face and cast a startled look at Yuli: "The Anti-Yi Group...? Wait, wait a minute! You have recognized the wrong person! We have nothing to do with the Yi Group.

!We are from the Tianzhong Party!”

"Tianzhong Party...?" Yu Li frowned.

Yuli's mocking voice just now reached the ears of several thieves who were also being pinned to the ground.

At this time, these people also raised their heads and screamed:

"Yes, yes! We are not a group that seeks to suppress the barbarians!"

"We have nothing to do with the anti-barbarian group! We are from the Tianzhong Party! We are from the Tianzhong Party!"

…

If a person says that he is not a member of the anti-barbarian group, Na Yuli will only regard the person as making excuses and will not pay any attention to the person.

But so many people claimed in the same terms that the organization they belonged to was the "Tianzhong Party" that they had never heard of before, and it had nothing to do with the anti-barbarian group... This made Yu Li feel a little guilty.

.

Yuli's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, confusion and confusion slowly appeared on his cheeks...

…

…

Edo, somewhere——

"...Mr. Kamino."

"What's the matter?" Kamino, who was leaning against the wall and concentrating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes through a slit and glanced at the one-armed warrior beside him.

"The spies we sent to Ryogoku Hirokoji to collect intelligence are back - our plan was very successful."

"The idiots from the Tianzhong Party foolishly ran into the 'big net' deployed by the execution office on Liangguang Xiao Road. They have all been caught by the official officers of the execution station."

Kamino's eyes opened wider as the one-armed warrior spoke.

"...Ha." Kamino sneered, then changed to a sarcastic tone, "The plan... is progressing much more smoothly than we imagined."

"Thank you for your hard work as an official of the police station. You helped us get rid of a nasty enemy."

"Mr. Kamino, is it almost time for us to start taking action?" The one-armed warrior stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

"...Hmm." Kamino pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Send the order below - the operation has officially begun."

The one-armed warrior smiled "hehe" and replied "yes" in a frivolous tone, then quickly stepped back and disappeared into the darkness.

…

…

Edo, Kitabansho, a certain room——

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah..." Bosui's mouth opened wide enough to hold an apple.

"Susui." Minami Bansho Town Chief Atsukawa glanced at Susui next to him, "Would you like to go get some sleep now?"

"Haha..." Houchuan laughed a few times and raised his hand to rub his huge belly, "As a person gets older, his body will gradually become useless..."

"There's no need to rest or anything, I'm not that tired yet."

After saying that, Bo Jing took out a Western-style pocket watch from his pocket.

This Western-style pocket watch was given to him by Hsui's eldest son a few months ago.

At first it was a bit hard to get used to, but after using it for a long time, Hakui gradually realized that this Western clock is really convenient. You can tell what time it is just by opening the case, and you no longer have to guess by looking at the sky.

It's time.

Hakui skillfully opened the case of the pocket watch, and saw that the hour hand and minute hand inside the watch formed a large obtuse angle - the current time was exactly 11:30 pm.

"Why is it that at this time, there is still no news..." Bo Jing sighed and put the pocket watch in his hand back into his arms.

"It would be a good thing if it can stay like this quietly without any news." Atsukawa on the side smiled slightly, "This means that Edo can spend tonight peacefully."

Susui and Atsukawa, the two current "mayors" of Edo, will personally sit in the "temporary headquarters" Kitabansuo tonight and have full authority to command all officials involved in tonight's big operation.

After more than two hours of hard work in Beifan Station with no results...Both Susui and Atsukawa inevitably began to feel tired.

Suddenly, just as Bo Jing took his pocket watch back into his arms, an official hurriedly opened the door and rushed to Bo Jing and Hou Chuan.

"Lord Hakui! Lord Atsukawa!"

"The anti-barbarian group really showed up at Ryogoku Hirokoji!"

"Officials from the 'Three Chapters' of Nanfan Institute bravely took the lead to greet the group that appeared to suppress the barbarians."

"All thieves have been captured now!"

Bo Jing and Hou Chuan were stunned for a moment, and then stood up at the same time with excitement on their faces.

"Have all the thieves who appeared on Ryogoku Hirokoji been caught?" Atsukawa suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Yes!" The official nodded vigorously, and then began to give a detailed report on the whole process of how the officers of the "Three Chapters" of the Nanban Institute swept away the members of the anti-barbarian group who had swarmed the streets of Ryogoku Guangxiao Road.

After listening carefully to the official's report, Atsukawa, whose cheeks turned red with excitement, slapped his thigh: "Wow! Well done! All the hard work today was finally in vain!"

Although it was Nanfansuo... who was Atsukawa's subordinates who gave the anti-barbarian group a head-on blow and made great contributions, Hsui was equally happy after hearing the good news.

If this terrorist organization that does not know when it will cause another evil act can be eliminated as soon as possible, it will be a great benefit to the Minami and Hokuban offices responsible for maintaining public security in Edo.

Both Susui and Atsukawa were delighted with the good news... However, the official who came to report the good news to these two people suddenly changed the subject:

"But... some officials from the 'Three Chapters' of Nanfan Station jointly reported that there was something strange about these captured thieves."

The expressions of Bosui and Atsukawa suddenly froze.

"Strange?" Houchuan frowned at the official.

"The captured thieves all claimed that they had nothing to do with the anti-barbarian group and that they were members of the Tianzhong Party."

"Oh my god, the Tianzhong Party...?" Bo Jing, with doubts in his eyes, chewed on this very unfamiliar title several times before turning his head and looking at Houchuan beside him.

The Tianzhong Party... neither Bojing nor Houchuan had ever heard of it.

"Those people...are they lying that they are not members of the anti-barbarian group in order to get a lighter punishment in the future?" Houchuan asked hesitantly.

The anti-barbarian group is the "target of severe attack" that the Enforcement Office has vigorously promoted in recent days, so Atsukawa's speculation is not unreasonable.

Those people may indeed want to reduce their crimes, so they lied that they were not members of the anti-barbarian group and made up an organization name for themselves.

"... Let's bring all the captured thieves back to the prison as soon as possible." Bo Jing said solemnly, "When we bring them all back, we can interrogate them slowly to see what they are like.

Something happened."

"Well..." Houchuan nodded, "That's the only way..."

Before Houchuan finished speaking——

"Master Hsui——! Lord Atsukawa——!"

Outside the room, there was a roar that sounded like a scream.
To be continued...
