Final Chapter. 176. People grow and hate water (1)

A strong man with a firearm in the team heard that this little city defense officer wanted to disarm them! The stinky temper with the pungent smell of gunpowder in his chest was immediately irrepressible. He swaggered forward, and with a tug of his right hand behind his back, the three-eyed fire bolt of the black gun directly hit the loyal city defense officer:

"I said are you really stupid or fake? In January, you will earn the broken silver of the melons and dates, and it is still worth your life to come out with us? ”

"It's not worth it! But regarding the security of the city, the imperial court has a clear ......"

"Since you know some bullshit, don't you know my guy? This is my new guy from Nekuri, and I haven't seen blood yet! Hey, I don't think it's better than this. On the way here, in order to prevent thieves from robbing prisoners, I have already filled a cannon in advance. How about we just take it for a gamble? ”

"How...... How to gamble? ”

In fact, this city defense officer didn't have much courage, and he had never seen such a ruthless role as them. Because Nankang has not had a large-scale foreign war for many years; In addition, Gusu City is located in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and their group of city defense soldiers are basically recruits who have not rolled over the battlefield, and they are not guarded against bandits. Right now, half of his head was cheeky, and he was hit by this pitch-black and cold gun, and he couldn't raise the slightest idea of resisting.

So the reply he gave was not fearless at all, but just a normal reaction after people were scared stupid.

"Huh? I didn't expect you, a little city gate official, to still have a pair of hard bones! Good! I like you! Let's take a gamble with it, my new buddy! I counted to three, and immediately set fire to the cannon; If this cannon gets wet on the way here, you kid shouldn't die; And we are willing to keep all the guys in the treasury at the entrance of the yamen, and I have to invite you to drink an extra big drink, and make amends for your sins, brother! But if you beg for mercy or run away in advance, then not only will we have to carry the guy into the city, but your little life will be considered a wasted death! What do you think? Do you dare to take this market? ”

Though the city gate officer had never been to battle, nor had he killed anyone; But after being a city gate official for nearly 20 years, he can be regarded as an old fritter; He saw that the other party had already taken out the fire fold and was blowing it one by one; The group of arrogant soldiers behind him didn't even open their mouths to stop each other! After thinking about this, he immediately spoke:

"Forget it, my mother had an explanation before she died, so I must quit gambling!"

"Hey? is still a dutiful son! Hahaha...... You're a kid who knows how to lift... Ay? Isn't it quitting gambling? Why don't you give way? Bite? Do you have to step on your corpse to get in? ”

"No, no, no, no! I have cramps in my thighs..."

This group of unruly soldiers is different from the Nankang soldiers, who have always been known for their softness and weakness; Each of them was born in an elite border army, and they were all elites who rolled down from the battlefield full of swords and guns. Although the captain of the fire gun had just told a lie, there was nothing in the gun pipe at all; But scaring the city gatekeeper doesn't mean that he doesn't have the courage to kill.

After all, this errand was a direct order from the Council of Elders. And the whole process from issuance to approval took less than half an hour. And the task given to them by the one hundred and twenty people was to ensure that the carriage escorting the prisoners arrived safely at the Gusu City Mansion; After that, it was completely assigned to Shen Ju, the president of the Presbyterian Church, until he returned to Jiankang City.

So for them, the "thing" of the city gate official will be killed if they are killed; After all, with the secret order issued by the Council of Elders in his hand, as long as a charge of "attempting to rob a prisoner" is detained, no one will care about it at all.

The sun sets, and the tired birds return to the forest. These 120 fully armed elite soldiers and strong generals, escorting an incomparably luxurious carriage, walked through the streets of Gusu City with great force. When the people of Gusu City saw this battle, they immediately talked about it; After all, no one had ever seen a precedent for heavily armed soldiers to swagger into the inner city.

This group of military masters who show off their martial arts and prestige has not done anything excessive; After they only walked around in front of the Shen Mansion for a while, they went straight to the mansion.

With this news coming out, even if the people of Gusu knew the first-hand "inside information": it turned out to be a soldier who protected the Shen family's uncle to return to Beijing, so it was reasonable!

In the realm of the Nankang Dynasty, the Shen Ju of the Council of Elders is equivalent to Wang Fang and Cai Xi of Northern Yan; or Li Deng of Youbei 3rd Road; But judging from the actual power in his hands, Shen Ju is almost equivalent to Zhou Yuanqing, the Heavenly Emperor who was divided by the party! It is reasonable to have a group of guards to protect him when he returns to Beijing!

Of course, this way of comparison is only the opinion of the common people in the market; Under the current system of Nankang, it is impossible for any "big man" to turn the clouds and rain. Because in this new set of rules, everyone has to restrain others, and everyone has to be constrained by others, even Shen Ju, the helmsman on Nan Kangming's face, is also unable to travel outside the system, let alone a role that no one can replace.

From this point of view, the de facto emperor of Nankang is the cold and ruthless new system. On top of that, all people are just a part of the system that can be replaced anytime, anywhere, without a huge negative impact.

It's just that Nankang has just taken off, and whether it is ordinary people or court officials, they are still in a period of exploration and adaptation; Therefore, for Shen Ju, the president of the Presbyterian Church who "can be replaced at any time", he naturally took a high look.

The government of Gusu City, located in the center of the city; This group of fully armed elite soldiers, under the curious gaze of the people, slowly walked to the front of the government gate.

"Stop! You...... Who are you? ”

A drum official who was standing in front of the government and napping was looking at this group of murderous tiger and wolf divisions, and his thighs had already shaken out of the phantom; If it weren't for the barely supported by the jujube stick in his hand, I'm afraid he would have been lying on the ground and asking questions at this time!

"Ahem...... The last general, Wang Zhi, is the deputy general of the left part of the Worry Liberation Army. Today, according to the military order of the Presbyterian Church, the prisoner wife was escorted to Gusu. ”

Wang Zhi didn't have the heart to grind his teeth with such a little person, and after issuing the documents issued by the imperial court in a business-like manner, he had a cold face and waited for Gusu Mansion Yin to come out to finish his errand.

Half a pillar of incense passed, and Yin of Gusu Mansion didn't wait, but waited for the main owner of this matter, Shen Ju Shen Caotang, who had a haggard face!

"Are you the deputy general Wang Zhiwang of the Relief Army? After hard work, have you ever encountered any trouble on the road? ”

In recent days, Shen Ju has been anxious, and he also has no heart to talk nonsense with the other party; And Wang Zhi also saw the seriousness of the situation, and hurriedly replied according to the truth:

"Great Elder, everything is normal on the way, it can be described as smooth sailing."

"Huh? …… Then that's a bit of a problem...... Wang Zhi, you first take your brothers and find a few inns near the government to stay; Remember to change into casual clothes when you go out on weekdays, you can wear a sword, but you are not allowed to carry heavy weapons; You can walk around the city as you like, and all the expenses will be paid by me. ”

"The last general obeys the order, and Elder Xie rewards him. But...... President Shen, what is our mission? ”

"Hmm...... Attached ear to the front ......"

After the two whispered a few words, Wang Zhi's face became more and more joyful; After Shen Ju finished speaking and patted him lightly on the shoulder, he immediately raised his hand behind him with a little excitement.

"The crossbowmen and firecrackers are all on guard, and the saber guards are responsible for cleaning the streets and bombarding people."

"Yes!"

Although the soldiers under their command are arrogant, once they reach a critical juncture, they will immediately become an unstoppable iron army with strict discipline and high tactical literacy!

After the soldiers under him sent a reply of "in place", Wang Zhi personally took out the steel knife at his waist and walked to the side of the carriage with full vigilance:

"Prisoner Lin, get out of the car!"

A gentle breeze blew, and the sound of chains rattling came from the carriage. Immediately afterwards, a pair of slightly worn cloth shoes slowly poked out of the carriage door, and finally landed on the bluestone trail board......

Lin Siwu, who was full of white hair, after leaving the carriage, stretched out his hands that were firmly bound by iron chains and shook them in front of Wang Zhi; And Wang Zhi glanced back at Shen Ju, who had a gloomy face, and when he saw that the other party nodded slightly, he began to untie the chains......

"You are Shen Ju, the word list grass hall? This is the first meeting between us, right? Hiss...... Child, you tug lightly, your wrist is already swollen, and I will use these hands to save people in a while......"

This was indeed the first meeting between the two sides, and in Shen Ju's eyes, it seemed that this Lin Siwu was far from the rumors in the market: this was a supreme Oiran who stumped the Heavenly Spirit Vein with his beauty; This is the top female doctor who left the name of "Medicine Bodhisattva" in Jiankang City; He is also the sister-in-law of the great shaman Li Xuanyu; is still a ruthless character with an earthly spiritual vein. No matter what level of identity you consider, it shouldn't be what it is now......

Lin Siwei in front of him was like an ordinary old lady who came to a friend's house as a guest, old and thin, and a little chattering......

Lin Siwei ...... There is one thing, many years ago, I really wanted to ask Li Xuanyu for advice in person; It doesn't matter if she's dead, it's the same to ask you today! My second brother, Shen Ang, how did he provoke shamanism? Even if you can't get married, you shouldn't be reduced to today's field, right? ”

After listening to this, Lin Siwu thought for a long time, then shook his bloody wrist, looked at Shen Ju with horizontal eyebrows and said:

"Regarding Shen Ang's matter, I remember that my sister has already explained to the Shen family, right?"

"Nothing to do with me? Just these four words, can it be regarded as an explanation? ”

"If these four words were said by my sister, then it can be regarded as an explanation. Today, 20 years later, if you come to question me face to face, I can only tell you these four words. Shen Ju, Shen Ju, you spent so much effort to get me to Gusu City, could it be that you can't turn over old accounts? ”

In all fairness, Shen Ang took the dowry and sincerity back then, and went to the north to seek relatives; A hundred days later, he was carried back to Gusu City; As a result, the family sent someone to ask the shamanic sect for an explanation, and Li Xuanyu just gave the four words "It has nothing to do with me"!

Even if it really has nothing to do with shamanism, it's really too bullying!
