Chapter 13: Catching a Thief Doesn't Have to Capture the King (Change)

These people who fired arrows to sneak attack were led and instructed by Ning Jingzhou, the eldest son of the local governor!

Not long ago, the three of them finished summing up, the second uncle left first, and Ning Jingzhou stayed behind to discuss with his father, who was the governor of Wuzhou, so he decided on such a plan.

According to their original plan, they set fire to the inn first, and then took advantage of the chaos to hijack Tranquility in the name of saving people.

The father and son also added a conspiracy, which was a move of praying mantis to catch cicadas, and Huang Que was behind, taking advantage of the chaos when they were saving people, they cast cold arrows to shoot her.

They did this, which was completely different from the idea of the second uncle Ning Zuo, so they had to act behind his back.

In order to succeed in this scheme, Ning Jingzhou not only brought all the cronies who were specially protecting his father at home, but also used the crossbow that his father had painstakingly obtained from the army.

This is absolutely contraband, and even ordinary Qing soldiers are not qualified to equip it.

This crossbow was more powerful and popular than most so-called thermal weapons of the time.

It was this kind of crossbow that shot and wounded his second uncle just now.

In order to be more safe, Ning Jingzhou also smeared the poison he had prepared on the arrows.

This was bought by him at a high price from the remote mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Although it is not to seal the throat with blood, there is no cure.

As long as you are scratched a little bit of skin, just wait for death, there is no cure.

Such vicious interlocking shows that the son is more scheming than his father, and his talent is also slightly revealed.

Because of this, he was also regarded by his father and second uncle as the most qualified successor to the second house.

After all, he would not use such viciousness against his father and uncle and other family members.

When he saw that the fatal arrow shot at his cousin was blocked by the second uncle, he couldn't help but complain in his heart about the bad things that the second uncle had done.

And when the arrow did not hit the target, but shot through the second uncle's arm, it also surprised him.

He knew very well in his heart, let alone such a serious injury. Even if it is a gentle scratch of the skin, it is also an irreparable fatal injury.

If the second uncle died, not only would their tribe be greatly damaged, but they would also have no way to explain to their father and grandfather in the first place.

He was stunned for a moment, and did not urge his subordinates to continue to step up the release of arrows.

The subordinates were also taken aback when they saw that they had shot the important leader of the family. The work in his hands slowed down a little, which also gave Peter a sigh of relief.

Peter hurriedly gave some emergency treatment to the injured second uncle, and temporarily stopped the gushing heavy bleeding.

At this time, the four King Kongs all surrounded him, desperately trying to block the arrows that continued to fly.

Ning Jingzhou was thinking about whether to give up this operation and give some chance to rescue the second uncle, or whether to simply stop doing it and concentrate the crossbow again to wipe out the group of people, including the second uncle and cousin. Anyway, the possibility of the second uncle being saved is very small.

The opportunity is rare, there is no such shop after this village!

As for the trouble caused by the death of the second uncle, I will talk about it later.

He made up his mind and was about to wave his hand and shout an order, when he suddenly heard the sound of "plop" and "plop" behind him, and he looked back and saw a figure coming like the wind.

The men who tried to stop the shadow were not yet touched. Like the wind blowing the grass, they flew out in both directions. Ning Jingzhou has not yet made up his mind to go to meet the enemy. Still retreating to avoid the battle, the person who came was already close and grabbed him by the neck.

"Don't move!" shouted Mai Ke.

Although this guy is scheming, he is a bit of a tough guy at this time.

Ning Jingzhou ignored the fact that his head was being controlled, and he yelled at the others by the neck: "Leave me alone......!"

Before he finished speaking, he was pointed at the dumb hole by Mai Ke. deprived him of the right to speak.

Quickly grasping the key is a basic skill necessary for special forces.

As the captain, Mai Ke knows this truth very well, and he uses it quite skillfully.

So when he left Peter, he came behind the group. soon set his eyes on this young man who was protected by everyone.

From Jing Rui's introduction before, he also knew that the principal of the Ning family here in Wuzhou mainly relied on the second uncle and the eldest son of the principal.

Since the second uncle was injured over there, most of this person is the other, that is, the eldest son of the principal.

So, he rushed over by surprise and grabbed him.

Everyone saw that the eldest prince with good martial arts was captured alive in the blink of an eye, so they stopped, and no one dared to mess around.

A middle-aged man who looked like a deputy ran over empty-handed from the place where the crossbow was placed not far to the left, bowed his hand to Mai Ke, and said respectfully: "I have something to say! I have something to say! What do my friends want?"

If you are willing to compromise, everything will be fine.

Mai Ke first ordered them all to put down their bows and arrows and gather here.

After the danger was removed, Mai Ke asked the deputy who cooperated well: "Who is this person and why did he attack us?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, even if he didn't say it now, he wouldn't be able to contain the fire when he met the people at the inn for a while, so the deputy truthfully told Mai Ke the identity of the young man's eldest son.

Everything they do here today is to obey the orders of the eldest prince.

He didn't know how much it was, so he could only ask the eldest son.

Specifically, he himself is the captain of the family guard under the direct leadership of the boss.

Very few people know they exist.

The eldest prince is not their direct leader, but this time the family guard is ordered to listen to the eldest prince's dispatch.

Judging that what he said was the truth, Mai Ke unlocked the dumb hole of the eldest son who couldn't speak, but had been trying to show that he was very anxious and angry with his expression.

McKe said to him, "Now it's your turn, tell me why you killed your second uncle and cousin?"

Ning Jingzhou regained the right to speak, and was about to shout and scold, but when he heard Mai Ke's words, he suddenly became dumb.

When am I going to kill my second uncle!

But he really couldn't pick himself out about it.

He can't say that he wants to kill his cousin and kill his second uncle by mistake, right?

Although that's just the way it is.

I'm afraid that the listener will have to accept half of it and reject the other half, killing my cousin is true, and killing my second uncle is probably even more true.

This is the result of Mai Ke's use of psychological tactics, seeing that this guy is also a cunning person, he gave him a trap to get into.

As a result, this simple little ploy silenced the eldest son, who was usually eloquent.

It's not right to say anything. He had no choice but to take the initiative to cancel his right to speak, and silence was golden.

Mai Ke didn't take any more time to let him speak, and took him back to the inn directly.

The others, led by the deputy, had to follow. Thinking of the injured second uncle, Mai Ke quickened his pace.

Even the eldest prince didn't need to urge, and followed closely.

When the two groups of people met, they didn't even bother to say hello. Because at this time, the second uncle has already seen that he can't do it.

Peter's emergency measures helped him to stop the bleeding from dying from blood loss, but they had no therapeutic effect on the poisoning.

Therefore, during this period, the toxin quickly eroded the vital functions of the injured person, and it was impossible to stand it out.

Mai Ke handed over the captives to the custody of the Four Great King Kongs, they were the only ones who had nothing to do with the Ning family here, turned around and came to the seriously injured and dying second uncle, lifted his eyelids to look, and shook his head.

Everyone who was holding their breath and watching sighed in disappointment. The eldest son even broke free from the hands of the four great kings and pounced. knelt down in front of the second uncle and cried sadly: "Second uncle, the little nephew is sorry for you......"

At this time, Mai Ke walked to his equipment bag, took out a red box from it, returned to the second uncle, and said to the crying unfilial nephew: "You get out of the way first, the person is not dead yet." Don't cry!"

The way he shook his head just now was to sigh at the deceit of people's hearts. How can they kill each other like this? It doesn't mean that it can't be cured.

The cure is curable, but he is not sure in his heart whether he can be cured.

The box he took out just now contained emergency medicine specially prepared by special forces, which was life-saving at a critical moment.

That is, as long as there is still a breath of air. to be able to save life.

However, I don't know if it is effective in removing this unknown poison.

He opened the locket, picked up one of them, broke the second uncle's lips, and smeared the pill into it.

Everyone stared at each other nicely. Even the eldest prince is honest, secretly hoping that the second uncle can escape from the ghost gate.

This special medicine is indeed extraordinary, not only melts in the mouth, but also works extremely quickly.

I only heard a burst of intestinal sounds coming from the second uncle's belly, and his face began to change from the original black and gray to yellow and white.

At the same time, streams of thick black liquid oozed from his body, emitting a foul stench.

The crowd took a few steps back, trying to escape the stench.

Only the eldest prince and Mai Ke stood still.

The former is because of the great joy after experiencing great mourning, and he didn't even feel the smell.

The latter is to determine that this special drug is effective for detoxification, and intends to further observe it nearby.

It didn't take long for Mai Ke to affirm to everyone that the second uncle was out of the death threat, and told everyone that they could rest assured.

This ending was unexpected by everyone.

In particular, Mai Ke almost single-handedly turned the tide, not only thwarted the eldest prince who attacked secretly, but also pulled back the second uncle who had already signed up in the Hades Palace from death.

From everyone's eyes of respect and worship for Mai Ke, it can be seen that he has won the inner support of everyone.

Even the eldest prince is grateful, even though he thinks that everything is in the hands of this fellow.

Anyway, he didn't have to face the consequences of his second uncle's death, and he was greatly relieved in his heart, and he didn't look at Mai Ke so hateful.

Don't worry about the aftermath, just leave it to the four King Kong overseers, and the leader of the family guard will implement it.

Taking advantage of this free time, Peter also informed Maike of how he had noticed someone setting a fire in the morning and stopped it.

He specifically mentioned two things. One was the one who was knocked to the ground by him and the other arsonists, none of them were caught, and they saved people, and those people ran away without a trace.

The other was that the liquid he smelled of gasoline was the same natural resource as modern gasoline, which the locals called fire oil.

The former Mai Ke doesn't care, he doesn't need to ask, he also knows that it is related to the sneak attack of the eldest prince, and he can know the truth by asking him in the future.

He paid attention to the second thing, gasoline is the basic energy source of modern technology and industrial production, and if it is readily available, it can save a lot of money in the future.

At this time, the second uncle walked over with the support of two people, although he was still weak, he could barely walk.

His complexion had also returned to normal. When he came to Mai Ke, he was about to bow to the ground, but Mai Ke grabbed him and didn't let him kowtow.

He said that he had to kneel down for everything, saying that the grace of saving his life was like recreation, and it was impossible to say that he would not kowtow to thank the great grace.

As for Mai Ke, he is also resolutely not accepted.

Just kidding, we can only worship the Most High in Heaven, and if we don't worship anyone else, how can we accept others to take us as the object of our prostration?

To put it mildly, in the end, Ning Jingzhou gave Mai Ke a hand salute on behalf of the second uncle.

At this moment, the head of the Ning family and one of the four King Kongs who stayed on the ship hurried over.

For they saw that the scheduled time for sailing had come, but the man had not returned, so they sent men to look for them.

When I arrived at the Ning family's compound, I met Director Ning, so I came here together.
