Chapter 23 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 23

[Asking for votes and reviews]

In the middle of the night, the wind suddenly picked up.

The dark clouds were blown away by the wind, and the moonlight poured down to coat the barn and yard with a layer of crystalline silver.

In fact, until this moment, Wang Xingping still felt that he was really too careful, so Gu Fengming might just not be able to catch it, and he probably wanted to make money by misappropriating the grain stored in the public middle school, since he didn't think of this layer, others thought of it for your owner, and it was no big deal to borrow some capital to make a fortune, as for the interest difference earned, if you don't take it back and share it with the owner, maybe it's just afraid of hurting the owner's face, the more Wang Xingping thinks this idea is funny.

In the past, although there was a big cabinet of leaves, he couldn't do anything big, but the shopkeeper in charge of the accounts would not have no oil and water. Just look at the means of moving the grain out of the warehouse this time, from delivery to concealment to sale of stolen goods, and then to settle the accounts back to make everything look as if it never happened. This set of land is so smooth that Wang Xingping will not believe that the underground grain trade like a dragon can be done temporarily.

But there is only one last night, the people of Guiyang Mansion will come to deliver it early tomorrow morning, and there will be nothing for him to do at that time, all he needs to do is to take a few officials to Shuiwo Village to retrieve the remaining 8,000 stone grain that should have belonged to the Wang family.

There may be some twists and turns, but in addition to the Zhuangzi of the Gu family, there are some tenants in Shuiwo Village, even if they are willing to listen to Gu Fengming's orders, but as long as they see the government, they don't dare to make a mistake. As long as the Gu family Zhuangzi was stared to death at night, it was because this time there were actually more people arranged on Liao Si's side, and in the evening, seven or eight more were sent by Wang Zhongde one after another, plus more than ten people who were originally there.

But things are always full of drama, look at the second watch day, Wang Xingping blew out the oil lamp and was about to close his eyes to recuperate, and the sound of the door opening creaked at this moment with the cool breeze pouring in from the door into Wang Xingping's ears, and he turned over and sat up from the bed with a purlin.

Through the crack in the door, he could already see the faint figure at the gate, there were only three or four of them, and the person in front seemed to be a little surprised that the door was not locked, which was Wang Xingping's idea. Guiyang City is surrounded by all the Tusi barbarians, and the precautions are very strict after nightfall, even if it is outside the city, it must be locked, if this law is implemented in the mainland, it is not strict, but Guiyang here has always followed and did not dare to slack off. Therefore, as long as the door of the house is guarded, it is not a big problem if the door of the house in the house is really not locked.

Through the moonlight, Wang Xingping had already understood that it was Zhang Changgeng, the guy on the counter, who came first, who was used to following Gu Fengming.

In the middle of the night, there is also a curfew here, how did he run in?

Guiyang City is surrounded by various Tusi groups, and it deserves the title of lonely southwest. Since the Dingding of the Dynasty, the military conflict with the natives has not stopped, and now it is the autumn harvest is imminent, not only in the city, even if it is the ten squares outside the city to implement a curfew, and the wind is blowing again tonight, before the second watch, as usual, the people should be careful of the patrol of the candle is much more diligent than in the past, the square gate in the north corner to the city gate closed soon after it was also locked, he a guy who lives in the city must have come out before the city gate closed, but after wandering outside for so long to almost three watches, it is not a ghost in his heart, what else can he be? It doesn't necessarily mean that you have lost all your money in an avant-garde gambling house and come here to borrow money, right?

Zhang Changgeng was wondering why this door was not locked, thinking that Gu Fengming asked Yang and Xu to do it secretly, but after all, he was suspicious, and he had never heard the greeting. But at the urging of the natives behind him, he still walked boldly into the courtyard. He looked inside while walking with a tattered lantern, and said in his heart that if Yang and Xu opened the door privately, they would definitely answer it on the left, so he exclaimed softly: "Yang Guan'er...... Xu Dazi...... What about your grandmothers......"

But he didn't want to touch the rope under his feet, the bell rang loudly, Zhang Changgeng was startled and stumbled forward, the oil under his feet slipped, and a dog gnawed mud on the ground brushed by blue and gray, and the lantern in his hand landed on the ground and ignited a puddle of oil nearby, but fortunately it didn't burn himself.

A few natives and the leader Asha in the back had already run in closely, seeing Zhang Changgeng so embarrassed, he was about to laugh, but he heard the door of the granary squeak open, and a voice laughed immaturely but loudly, "Zhang San...... The third watch sneaked in the middle of the night, and I said, are you here to work or be a thief? ”

"Less...... Landlord. Zhang Changgeng could only see a figure standing under the porch of the nearest granary by the light of the fire, but there was no mistake in his voice and tone, but how did Wang Xingping run to this granary in the middle of the night? What about the others? Didn't Yang and Xu open this door? Where did Yang Shunqing and Monk Xu go again?

Countless question marks raced through his mind, and he was finally interrupted by Asha.

"What are you doing? Not yet? ”

This question was interrupted again by Wang Xingping, "Isn't it strange why I'm here?" ”

"You ......" Zhang Changgeng 'you' for a long time, but still couldn't speak.

Asha, who was standing behind him, was already impatient, "You fart, since you bumped into him today, no matter if he is the owner or the west, he has to go to see the king of Hades, and he is about to get away with Hugh and Lao Tzu." ”

As he spoke, the other figures gathered around at this moment, occasionally accompanied by the sound of the bell being touched by the people who came in from behind.

"One, two, three...... Seven, eight, ......" Wang Xiaoliu hid in the darkness behind Wang Xingping, listening to the sound while counting the number of figures.

Wang Xingping had already seen it clearly, "Don't count, seventeen, plus Zhang San......"

Zhang Changgeng stared at the young man's figure, and that little doubt turned into anger, "Damn, give it to me." ”

Asha, who was walking in front, waved his hand when he heard this, and the two subordinates rushed forward, ten taels per person who started the fire, and fifty taels for the ignition, not so much that the subordinates understood the meaning of the leader, but that the charm of money was greater.

The dark eight-sided barrel was raised to the head, and the thin shoulders were pressed against the butt, so that there was no need to close one eye to look at the door and aim at the star, and with a muffled sound, the boy finally resisted the powerful force of the musket. A wisp of white smoke rose by the faint light of the fire, and the dull sound of gunfire still echoed in the courtyard, and the man who rushed to the front had already fallen in response, staring at the last moonlight of his life in the sky with a pair of big eyes.

The other man was so frightened that he took two steps back and stopped.

"It's sixteen now." Wang Xing said flatly, I don't know if the object of his speech is Xiao Liu or that Zhang San.

Zhang Changgeng looked at the man who fell to the ground in shock, a moment ago he was the most ferocious eagle dog in Yu's family, but now he fell to the ground motionless, without half a struggle, except for the broken head in the firelight, he couldn't see anything unusual, but Zhang Changgeng understood that this person was by no means asleep.

"You...... You...... You dare to kill. The lackeys of the Gu family were all broken, stammering and questioning, and they didn't have time to verify whether the fallen person was still saved, but they still pointed at Wang Xingping and scolded, as if he had forgotten the identity of the proprietor of the Futai.

'Why don't you dare?' Whoever enters a house at night without a cause shall have eighty rods. Whoever kills the Lord's house at the time of his death, do not count. 'Are you really messing around in the academy this day?' ”

After the lunch break during the day, Wang Xingping also specially asked Ma Wenqing for several legal articles in the "Da Ming Law", Ma Wenqing has been walking in the law department for a long time, and he also knew that Wang Xingping's family is a businessman, so he said a few more words, in addition to some things that Wang Xingping has experienced in the past involving the law, he also confirmed the legal provisions on trespassing into private houses. In Ma Wenqing's mouth, the places where businesses operate also belong to the scope of private houses, which he actually saw in the law earlier, but with the endorsement of Ma Wenqing, who used to be the chief justice officer, it is equivalent to having an example of judicial interpretation in reality, so that if something really happens, he can take care of it.

However, even so, the wooden bed of the musket that had just been fired and handed back to Ding De's sailor was still stained with the sweat of Wang Xingping's palm, fortunately, the first shot did not miss, and fortunately, Zhang Changgeng's ugliness when he entered the door made him feel a lot more relaxed before shooting. Otherwise, if you miss it, you will really be ready to fight hard, although Wang Xingping is still confident that he will win the final victory with a few equipment that spans the era, but in front of everyone, it is best not to show it, but he is a little surprised that the Gu family is too much to find so many helpers, how much hatred does this have with himself?

"They have birds......" Asha and Zhang Changgeng's reactions were by no means different, and the scolding of Yu's family, who had been in charge of the Tusi family in the former Shuixi Yu family for a long time in the Hanyi conflict, would not fail to understand the power of this kind of firearm with extremely strict control by the official army when fighting against the Tu soldiers. No matter how slow his sub-potion was reloaded, and how shameless the attack range was, no native would laugh at the power of the musket, and although it was difficult to distinguish the type of musket with just one glance, the dead men on the ground seemed to prove their judgment.

In the face of the sudden change, the enemy hesitated, Zhang Changgeng and Asha seemed to be in a bad nightmare at the same time, obviously it is an errand that can be done without effort, whether it is those furnace workers or other warehouses in the yard, all of them have been calculated in the risk assessment in advance, and they can be exchanged for dozens of taels of silver by doing this thing, which is a business that does not accompany the money, but now before they get to the grain depot, they have already died first, which is really a bad sign.

"The He family didn't say that there are still fire guns in the library." Asha subconsciously bowed down and cursed, and the other subordinates were also stunned, and they didn't dare to take another half step forward.

Zhang Changgeng finally reacted, the other party had been prepared, and now he has no way out.

He began to regret that he shouldn't have agreed to Gu Fengming to come to this troubled water for forty taels of silver, originally he was just leading the way for the natives to kill a few furnace workers to blame the trouble, at most he looked at the wind, and he couldn't find out what was on his head, but now he bumped into Wang Xingping here, so he could only do it desperately.

With the thought in his mind, Zhang Changgeng came back to his senses, he picked up the short knife that had just fallen in a panic, and shouted loudly to remind his companions, "He has no medicine, so he rushes forward." ”

When he heard this, Ding Deshui was nervously replacing the musket that Wang Xingping had just handed over, Du Chun, Deng Shishi and Shang Bao each held knives and sticks and hid behind the sack according to Wang Xingping's instructions, and at this moment the other musket in Ding Yi's hand had been gently handed over to Wang Xingping.

With the experience of the previous shot, this time Wang Xingping was extremely calm, even if the other party had rushed to a distance of more than ten steps, he did not show the slightest panic.

"Fifteen ......" fell down in response to the call, suppressing the courage of the thieves who had just been strengthened by Zhang Changgeng's scream.

In a few moments, Asha and Zhang Changgeng were already at the forefront of the team, and I don't know if the two of them rushed too fast or the others retreated too much.

Wang Xingping sent the empty gun back, and Ding Deshui had just changed a musket into his hand again, raising the gun and aiming, all in one go, but this time the target was the leader of this group of thieves. With a slight movement of his fingers, two and a half dollars of lead shot out angrily, and before he could react, he had already sunk into Asha's heart like a drill, as if he had been hit hard by a heavy fist, and the strange movements after the target was hit showed that most of his viscera had been stirred into a mess.

The owner of the warehouse of the "Fourteen ......" took stock of the results of the battle.

"You ......", Zhang Changgeng's 'you' was only swirling on his tongue after all, and a burst of gongs had already sounded in the courtyard, and a heavy lock fell, accompanied by the screams of two thieves being killed and falling to the ground.

A voice repeated aloud what the leader of the square, Asha, had said:

"I'm going to get away with Hugh Lao Tzu."
