Chapter 14 Together
The potential bandits in the water were already approaching the boat.
Yun Jian shouted: "Open!" ”
He tugged at the cable with both arms. The oars at the other end were embedded in the fence like a nail. Yun Jian pulled out his arms, and Qiu Huitian also tried his best to pick it up.
The barrier, which was as heavy as a litter of dead pigs, was lifted high by the two of them.
The water droplets were sprinkled like a crystal waterfall.
Qiu Huitian poked at the bottom of the river, "Horn"! The skinny penny couldn't stand this toss in the end, and finally broke off. And the boat took advantage of its last help to rush to the bottom of the crystal waterfall.
A spear stabbed at the side of the cloud sword.
Cloud Sword still clutched the cable tightly with both hands, twisted his waist, and lowered his upper arm down, holding the spear under his arm. Another simple knife chopped at him.
These robbers deceived him for having trouble with his hands, and dared to come to close combat again.
The boat rushed under the barrier, not yet fully escaping the threat of the barrier.
Yun Jian kicked the Pu knife away, the cable trembled, the barrier fell a few inches, and the cabin of the boat scraped against it.
Two more kitchen knives slashed at the cloud sword.
Cloud Sword pulled the barrier back up fiercely and let go of his hand.
He pulled hard enough, and out of inertia, the barrier continued upwards and walked a little way.
Yun Jian swung his left arm to block, and his right hand grasped a hand holding a kitchen knife. "Quarala", the sound of broken bones sounded. The kitchen knife fell to the ground.
The momentum of the barrier was exhausted, and it stayed in the air for a short time.
Another kitchen knife slashed through the sleeve of the cloud sword, and was then knocked away by the cloud sword.
The fence falls back into the water, at the same time as the kitchen knife falls to the ground.
The boat had just left the threat of the barrier. The splash of the fence still made the boat turbulent.
There was blood in the splash. The robbers who chased under the water smashed their hands with the fence smashed.
The boat finally escaped, like a fish that escaped the golden hook, and swayed towards the river.
Zhang Shenxian, Jian Ying and the others caught the boat head-on.
Yun Jian's two loyal subordinates had already arrived when they heard the movement. It's just that after all, the distance is long, and it's already too late to hear the movement, and it takes time to get there. If it weren't for Yun Jian and Qiu Huitian joining forces to deal with it, the boat would have fallen into the hands of the robbers. Once the robbers have hostages, it will be tricky for Zhang Shenxian and the others to come even if they arrive.
Don't be afraid now.
When Zhang Shenxian and Jian Ying arrived at the edge of the fence, they saw - uh, it seemed that they didn't need to make a move.
Yun Jian lost his worries and beat that group of robbers to the ground......
"I'm starting to sympathize with them." Zhang Shenxian stroked his little goatee and said.
In Zhang Shenxian's heart, Yun Jian is a person who does great things! In the future, I will dominate the world! Engage in a bunch of petty robbers? It's all about fun. The little robbers who came to feed the recruit were too pitiful.
The surviving robbers burst into tears when they saw the officers and soldiers coming. The officers and soldiers reprimanded: "If you know today, why bother? ”
The robbers hugged his legs, like a wronged child who finally saw his relatives, and exchanged tears: "You are finally here!" ”
A crow flew silently past.
How badly were these poor guys abused by Cloud Sword......
When the magistrate ascended to interrogate the poor children, they rushed to pour out the bitterness in their chests. The official man patted the shocked wood and shouted at them: "Explain first, where did your accomplices flee?" ”
"They? Maybe the salt thrower went to ......"
"You mean the Salt Bandits?!" There was a thunderclap on the official's head.
In fact, it should be a smuggler of salt. In the vicinity of Jin, Licheng and other places, there have always been smugglers of salt dealers. They are dealers, because their original intention was to sell salt, not robbery. They are said to be robbers, because their abilities are not worse than ordinary robbers, and even more ruthless than ordinary robbers.
The government has a tight grip on the sale of smuggled salt. If you think about it, although salt itself is not expensive, everyone has to eat salt, and every household buys it, how big is this business? Salt and grain have always been in the hands of the government, and they are the lifeblood of people's livelihood and finance. The hawkers actually compete with the officials for profit and sell salt? The government punished him severely, just as he did with a murderer who committed the most heinous crimes.
So, gradually, only the most heinous and audacious murderers dared to become salt dealers. The profits from selling smuggled salt were huge, and they were well equipped, often fought against the government, and practiced the skills of the army. This group of people is not robbers, but more like robbers!
Can there be a case with the salt merchant? So the local official went silently. The masses of the people ignore these and relish various versions of gossip. As for several parties involved in this incident, they remained surprisingly silent.
Boss Butterfly and Lin Dai are understandably silent. Both of them felt that more was better than less. Qiu Huitian kept her mouth shut, because she had not yet woken up from the shock of that night. As for Cloud Sword......
Yun Jian arrived at the big master's study, and obediently lowered his hands to listen to the training. With a dark face, the old man handed the letter he had just received to him: "You are literate." Read it yourself! ”
Yun Jian knew that he was not a good stubble, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case. This letter is related to the gang of bandits that Cloud Sword defeated by the river.
It turned out that there was a gang of smuggled salt dealers in Xunan Province who were extremely rampant, with a good income and excellent equipment, and they were always careful to recruit troops and expand their strength. As for the robbers who robbed the boat by the creek last month, they are real robbers, and their equipment is not at all comparable to that of the smugglers. However, the smugglers saw that these robbers had some ability, and once wanted to recruit them, but they were rejected by a very backbone. However, these robbers are now greatly injured by the cloud sword, and only half of them were arrested on the spot, and those who escaped are estimated to have to go to the smugglers.
Therefore, while the local officials made a case file and reported the captured robbers for recognition, they were secretly worried that if they really forced the thieves to the side of the smugglers...... I'm afraid there will be even greater calamity ahead!
The letter he wrote to Master Xie was for this matter. One-third of the space is devoted to reminiscing about old friendships with Master Xie, as if they really have old stories to talk about and friendships to make, which doesn't matter; The other third of the space is devoted to praising the great martial arts of Yun Jian, the second son of Xie, and his writing can be seen in the storytellers, the flashy sacrificial words of the previous dynasty, and all the poems of the Hanlin scholars, which are not concerned; The remaining one-third of the article is to see the skill of the Zhengbang Jinshi from a cultural official, quoting scriptures, smoky and foggy, as if nothing has been said, but those who read the book well can see the meaning behind the words:
Yun Jian is meritorious, but objectively scare the thieves into joining the smugglers, and the consequences are very strict! If it really gets big, no one looks good when it comes to responsibility. So let's cover it up! It's good for everyone. The magistrate has already put the paperwork in place, and hopes that the Xie family will use the relationship in the officialdom to help cover up when necessary.
