Chapter 7: Shot

Many years later, Min Yuanqi may recall this day, standing on a dilapidated boat on the icy Huai River, his muscles tense all over, and his heart is extremely nervous.

Liang Shifa, Yang Zhijin and Gao Cuncheng should have a tacit understanding, although the three of them did not dare to disobey the order, they would never rush forward for Min Yuanqi at this moment.

The same is true for the rest of the flag army, even if the dog who was scolded by Guan Er was bloody, they all bowed their heads and frowned, not daring to make a sound.

Xie Xiang is twenty years old, and his whole life is like a stone, full of muscles, and his eyebrows and eyes are square. This is a young man with a violent temper and impulsiveness, but when he heard Guan Er scolding "the donkey and horse shot", Xie Xiangqi's face was red and his body trembled, but he also endured it and did not step forward to fight back.

Who is Guan Er?

Yang Shida's promotion of salt class is actually an official name, and more than 100 people under him are all gangsters, scoundrels, green skins, loafers, pick one out at random, they are all quite famous characters in the four towns and eight miles, ordinary gangsters on the street, and they can't get under Yang Shida's nose.

Guan Er likes to fight with people since he was a child, and he is black and ruthless, and he is a typical brave and ruthless bastard. He was sent to the army many times for hurting people's lives in fights, and then he was amnesty and released back after good luck.

Yunti Pass to Guannan area, Guan Er is a well-known ruthless character, many people rumored that there are many big cases of kidnapping and tearing meat tickets, all of which were done by Guan Er with people.

bullying men and women, rampant lawlessness, there is more than one life at hand for more than 20 years, plus Yang Shida as a backer, how can such a murderer be provoked by ordinary people? Don't talk about ordinary military households, even Min Yuanqi, a hundred households, in front of him, Guan Er has no fear.

Fortunately, this is the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the martial artists is actually slowly improving, people know that it is a troubled time, and they subconsciously have a little more awe of the knife handle, but that is the "soldier", these guards in front of them, or the "army", still belong to the category of despised.

Li Junsun and Wang Wumai stood beside Min Yuanqi on the left and right, both of them lowered their heads slightly, as if they had to step forward, but they didn't know what to do, their expressions were a little embarrassed, as if they were a little embarrassed, as if they wanted to say sorry to Guan Er, this matter caused trouble for Guan Er and the salt dings......

As for Min Yuanjin and Min Yuanzhong, although the two brothers of their own family did not retreat behind and put on a posture that had nothing to do with them, after all, Min Yuanqi was a close branch of the clan, and the other was a trial of 100 households, the general banner, whether it was kinship or officialdom, the two brothers had to stand in front, but it was limited to that......

Min Yuanqi didn't know at this time that he didn't think about it, if it was Min Yuanqi in this life, I was afraid that he didn't think it through, and Min Yuanqi in later generations had worked for many years, although the environment in the previous and previous lives was very different, and the things he came into contact with were also very different, but the basic truth could still be common.

To put it simply, it is to ignore the strength and pressure of the enemy, and at the same time ignore the preparation of one's own side.

This kind of tax-like method of taking a cut has been practiced for many years, and many thousands of households even have to pay silver like the salt ships under the command of the envoys. Min Yuanqi originally had no idea of resisting at all, but the will of the future generations and the impulses of this life made him make a decision, and now it seems that he is still a little rash.

That's fine...... The most critical place is that Min Yuanqi really understands now, his subordinates, including the family and the clan brothers, are unreliable, Min Yuanqi has been in office for less than a year, and Enwei has not been spread, and even the general flag like Han Sen is clearly looking down on him, there is no henchman in case of trouble, and there is no thug when arguing, which is the origin of the current embarrassing situation.

Despite this, Min Yuanqi did not intend to back down.

This time it has shrunk, and if it spreads, it will definitely lose its reputation, and it will take ten times more effort to redeem it. And Min Yuanqi doesn't think that these people in front of him are terrible, but they are just bullying good ruffians, he is evil, you are more evil than him.

Although the decision is a little rash, it does not mean that the decision is wrong, Min Yuanqi knows that the current situation has to open a gap, and he has to calmly spread it internally and externally, he can follow the steps and start slowly and calmly, but now it is seventeen years of Chongzhen, how can he have time?

Guan Er scolded a few words, and when he saw the reaction of the flag army, his eyes were also full of suspicion.

"Thieves with troops, what the hell do you want?" A man beside Guan Er scolded: "How can we have the time to spend with your group of dogs?" ”

"What do you call me?" At this time, Min Yuanqi jumped up and landed on the wooden dock.

Min Yuanqi's burly body stepped on the half-wet plank, and the wooden pier made a creaking sound.

"Tell you to try a hundred households?" Guan Er's face first seemed to be smiling, and then with a "bah", he spit on the ground, and said angrily: "An official who doesn't count as a fart, where did he come from?" Want to play prestige here with your second master? Tell you to be a thief with the army to lift you up, hurry up and take the silver out, ten taels of silver must not be less than one point, if you dare to be less, Lao Tzu's eyes will recognize you as a hundred households, and your fists must not recognize you......"

Guan Er really didn't put Min Yuanqi in his eyes, just a test hundred household officials, in Huai'an Mansion and counties, there must be hundreds of military attaches in Huai'an Wei and Dahewei, which are not worth much compared to the village chief Lizheng, and the poorer hundred household general banners, that is, are stronger than beggars, and a few broken grass houses cover themselves, and food and clothing may not be mixed. The Ming Dynasty has long since given the military attache of the guard post a normal salary, if the ancestors did not buy some land to stay, not to mention the general banner, hundreds of households, thousands of households are poor and poor?

"Then Bibi Fist!" Min Yuanqi was originally quite calm, although he had the intention of making a move, he was unable to swing his fist.

He was a human being in two lives, and he fought in a group when he was a child, and it was nothing more than a child's play. In later generations, Min Yuanqi has always been an honor student with good conduct, and in this life, he is a child of a military attache family, who will really do anything with him?

At this time, listening to Guan Er's scolding, Min Yuanqi was first upset, then anger surged, and then blood boiled, and a wave of anger arose, at the last moment of Guan Er's noise, he saw Min Yuanqi directly punched in front of him.

Guan Er hurriedly dodged, but Min Yuanqi's movements were extremely fast, and there was even a faint fist when punching, the left fist was held at the waist, the waist was twisted and rotated from the right, the legs were faintly lunged in front of the other, and the whole body turned half a circle like a spinning top, and then the right fist swung straight and slammed into Guan Er's face.

Everyone heard a "click", Guan Er snorted, but the bridge of his nose was shattered by this powerful punch!

Seeing that Guan Er's whole face was distorted in pain, tears and blood were splashed together, and his entire nose was beaten softly, crooked, and he couldn't look like it, Min Yuanqi felt a burst of happiness in his heart!

The people around were stunned, it has always been only about the second group to beat others, how can anyone dare to hit Guan Er?

"Kill him, kill this thief with an army." Guan Er was in pain and angry, took a few steps back and pointed at Min Yuanqi, and said loudly: "Don't care about him what the general banner of the hundred households is, kill him, I Guan Er will fight for him!" ”

If it's in the dark, or in a private fight, it's just a trivial matter to kill someone. Killing a military attache of the guard in front of more than 100 people at this wharf, most of them are afraid that they will resist their lives, and Guan Er is also fierce, and he does not shrink at all at this time, and he is not even afraid of being arrested and beheaded.

Min Yuanqi also slightly understood the ferocity of the scoundrels in this era, these people may not dare to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy, but they are willing to sacrifice their lives in a private fight, the kind of good thing that beats a punch and the other party is immediately frightened and begs for mercy, but Min Yuanqi has no chance to encounter it.

Guan Er shouted like this, and suddenly a dozen scoundrels poured up.

Whether these people are tax or salt, they are all raised by Yang Shida and Guan Er, and they rely on Guan Er and Yang Shida for food and clothing every day.

In front of Min Yuanqi, five or six people rushed to him at once.

They are all men with tall donkeys and big horses, but people of average size are not qualified to be gangsters. Jiangbei here is not as developed as the south of the Yangtze River, if the local prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have a line, the people who fight the line should be more professional, whether it is to beat others to death, or to beat people out of the line to maim themselves and frame others, and even to fight and sell their lives have a public price, a life of dozens of taels or hundreds of taels of silver, as long as there is a master to buy, someone sells, generally used to fight lawsuits in the yamen, once a person dies, from the official to the official, to the third shift to catch fast, the helpers in the yamen will fall on the blood stains like flies, and the people who have an accident will never be finished if they are bankrupt.

Here in Jiangbei, it is straight to the point!

Several people moved together, some punched in the face, some kicked sideways, and some flashed to the side, pointing at Li Junsun, Wang Wumai and others at the bow of the boat and scolding, warning these people not to make a move.

Min Yuanjin and Min Yuanzhong looked excited, no matter what, Min Yuanqi is the boss and the people of the clan, with the habit of the Ming people is to help relatives and not help, the people in the clan fight with outsiders, and they have always only helped the people of their clan, what is the reason to talk about it after the fight, and now the two small flags are in an extremely embarrassing situation. If it was an ordinary group fight, it would naturally go up to help Min Yuanqi, but these people in front of them are all vicious scoundrels, and they also know the roots of Min Yuanjin and others, and there will be follow-up troubles after the fight, they are said to be military attachés of the guard, and in the eyes of these scoundrels, their identities are no different from ordinary people.

What else does a military attache who can't get enough to eat want to talk about?

But seeing that his relatives and bosses were beaten, the Min family had some roots in Dahewei, and this matter spread, and Min Yuanjin and Min Yuanzhong didn't want to be human beings.

In short, a dilemma......

As if seeing the hesitation and fear of Min Yuanjin and others, several green skins pointed at Min Yuanjin and others and scolded them, with a smug look on their faces.

They have always been the only ones who bully others, no one dares to resist, the class of the Ming Dynasty, the top is of course the Son of Heaven, eunuchs, nobles, civil officials, and the status of military ministers has also risen in recent years. But these people are the ruling class and do not have access to the civil order. In the folk sense, the warden of the sixth room and the head of the third class are already unattainable big shots. Those ordinary scribes, the helpers in the yamen, and the local chiefs, these are the most feared figures of the people.

The good green-skinned scoundrels who are fighting and mixing with the local people are the most difficult characters in the low-level order, and when they form a force, even the idle yamen leaders and gentry do not want to provoke them.

When everyone hesitated, Min Yuanqi had already received a few punches and kicks, he was good, the two green skins in front of him were hit by him a few punches, one of the two was beaten and swollen, covered his eyes and retreated, and the other was hit in the abdomen with a heavy punch, and shrank on the ground and vomited on the spot.

But there were a lot of salts on the dock, and beating two of them provoked more people to come and beat them.

Guan Er's tears flowed in pain, seeing that there were five or six people beating Min Yuanqi, and more than a dozen green skins were on the periphery, the flag soldiers were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and his face showed cruelty and excitement.

really killed Min Yuanqi, Guan Er didn't dare.

Now the status of the martial artists has gradually risen, after all, the other party is a six-rank military attaché, and it is not a small trouble to kill him. But if he is beaten half to death and seriously injured, as long as the person does not die, there will never be any official who will stand up for Min Yuanqi.

Guan Er has the pleasure of cruel revenge in his heart, and now he will fight it, and after a while, he will have to go to Yunti Pass to find the field, and if he doesn't flatten the family of the general flag in front of him, this revenge will not be avenged!
