Chapter Eighty-Nine: Beating Officials
Zhou Zhi's angry shouting just now was not groundless.
First, he pondered that there was no reason for the official errand to appear at this time. The second and most important thing is that Zhou Zhi found that although the four officials behind him were all wearing soap-colored uniforms, the shoes under their feet were nondescript.
It stands to reason that the average official should be the white-soled boots of the gangster, but these four people are all black-faced cotton shoes. And the shoes were covered with mud, and even the upper of the shoe was full of holes and stains. Such shoes are worn only by ordinary people, and by the poorer ones.
Zhou Zhi shouted loudly, and the bearded official's complexion suddenly changed, but he quickly calmed down, tried his best to keep his complexion normal, and looked at Zhou Zhi indifferently.
If the psychological quality of this bearded official is not bad, the four officials who follow him are very inferior, and they all look frightened, trembling, and a little at a loss.
Their performance further confirms Zhou Zhi's thoughts.
Liu Hui was standing beside Zhou Zhi, and he also noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and when he saw the appearance of the four officials, he also followed Zhou Zhi angrily, "Yes, they are fake officials, beat them!" ”
When those gangsters saw the official errand at first glance, they were already frightened and had no master, so naturally they didn't distinguish the truth from the fake. Hearing the orders of Zhou Zhi and Liu Hui, the bold one raised his stick high and hit the four officials with a gesture.
But in the end, he was a little timid, and he hesitated.
Zhou Zhi acted neatly, and before Liu Hui's words fell, the long stick in his hand had already been pulled down towards the legs of the last official. Just this time, the official errand said, "Oops! With a scream, he collapsed to the ground.
Although the leg did not break, the pain hit immediately.
One was knocked down, followed by a second.
Seeing that Zhou Zhi had made a move, where did they dare to slack off, but the four official-looking people behind the poor beard barely had time to resist, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this, the bearded official immediately drew his waist knife, showed a fierce face, and shouted, "What a group of Diao people, so bold, dare to beat the official, don't you know that there is a royal law?" ”
"Humph! I don't know that you are the one who has the king's law! Zhou Zhi held a long stick in his hand, looked at him angrily, and said sharply. Then the long stick slammed down on the top of his head.
The bearded official did not dodge, and greeted him directly with his waist knife, but this time, the long stick in Zhou Zhi's hand was immediately broken into two.
This man stretched out his hands neatly, and obviously knew some martial arts. Liu Hui saw it clearly, snatched the machete from the hand of a thug next to him, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhou Zhi, you get out of the way, let Brother Wei come to meet him." ”
As the boss of the gangsters, Liu Hui's martial arts are not weak, and he will not make a move easily, unless he touches a hard stubble.
It's just that as soon as he started his beard just now, Liu Hui saw that this person was not easy to match. Although Zhou Zhi is ruthless, he has never met anyone with martial arts and neat hands.
The bearded official just cut his long stick into two pieces at once, which surprised Zhou Zhi. Immediately, I concluded that I had met a powerful person today.
People can be reckless, but they must also distinguish the occasion, Zhou Zhi is clear, it is obviously not a wise move to deal with this bearded official at the moment, and he will not be his opponent. So Zhou Zhi obediently flashed aside, and Liu Hui stepped forward with an arrow, and the machete in his hand was cut down directly.
Both of them use knives, Liu Hui is agile and skillful in knife skills, but the beard is ruthless, and almost every move is aimed at Liu Hui's fatal parts.
Zhou Zhi just looked at him coldly for a short time on the periphery, and then said, "Brothers, this fake official is very bad, let's beat him together!" ”
Yes, there are forty or fifty brothers on my side, and there is only one man with a beard, so do you still have to pay attention to a gentleman's war at this time?
Regardless of whether the cat is black or white, it is a good cat if it catches a mouse.
Now that's the case, no matter what means are used, as long as you get rid of this bearded official.
The gangsters were originally best at group fighting, but after giving a thoughtful order, they immediately came back to their senses and swarmed for a while.
Long sticks and machetes beckoned down to the bearded officer.
Liu Hui couldn't cry or laugh at this time.
Speaking of which, Liu Hui is a person who loves martial arts, and he finally met an opponent today, so he wanted to fight with him alone, so as to increase some experience in fighting against the enemy.
However, Liu Hui only fought with this beard for a short time just now, and Liu Hui felt that the opponent was too strong, and if he continued to fight for a long time, he would not be his opponent.
So many people surrounded a person and beat him violently, and the bearded man couldn't stop scolding, "A group of ignorant people have the ability to come one by one, what is such a group fight?" Hum! Look at me, Li Lin is afraid of you? ”
This is tantamount to reporting his name, called Li Lin.
The woman who was tied up, Li Xiaoying, also spoke at this time, and said anxiously, "Brother, run!" ”
It turned out that this Li Lin was her own brother, but she could see it clearly, if this continued, her brother Li Lin would soon be hurt by this group of gangsters.
In fact, where to use Li Xiaoying to remind Li Lin that Li Lin had already lost his fighting spirit at this time, and was thinking about getting out.
That is, at the moment when Li Xiaoying spoke, Li Lin spotted a gap, danced his waist knife like the wind, first protected his whole body, and then suddenly shouted violently, followed by a brisk walk, and actually rushed out among several gangsters. A gangster was also unable to dodge in time, and a cut in his arm was cut by this guy's waist knife, and blood slowly flowed out.
This gangster still has some backbone, he almost didn't hum, he was still holding a machete to chase the bearded official Li Lin.
Li Lin broke out of the encirclement, and disappeared into the moonlit night without looking back.
When Zhou Zhi and Liu Hui and others wanted to come, Li Lin ran away. Anyway, tonight's goal has been achieved, and there is no grudge against Li Lin, so it is useless to chase him closely.
The sky is light, and I can't stay in this Xinzhuang any longer. Zhou Zhi, Liu Hui and others gathered everyone, and a few gangsters escorted the woman Li Xiaoying, and at this time, Liu Hui had already asked someone to put on a long robe for Li Xiaoying. After all, it is very indecent to escort a woman who is only wearing obscene clothes, and the weather is too cold, if this Li Xiaoying is really frozen to death, it will definitely be a big trouble.
The four thugs took turns to replace Daddy Zhou Tie, and the group quickly walked out of Xinzhuang.
Daddy Zhou Tie has actually been held by a few brothers, but he is obviously weak, and more importantly, sleepy and tired, although he saw the process of Zhou Zhi and the other crowd beating and fighting, he knew that Zhou Zhi had caused a monstrous disaster today, but at this time, he couldn't stop it, and there was nothing he could do.
It was Zhou Zhi who came to save him tonight, and he also knew that without Zhou Zhi, he might be in danger of his life. But at this time, when he thought of Zhou Zhi's future, Zhou Tie was still worried.
Alas! I think it's just one step at a time.
As for the woman Li Xiaoying, naturally she would not bring her back to Baiyue Village, Zhou Zhi planned to find a secluded place halfway through, interrogate her well, see how many secrets she knew about the Taoist Li Shun, and by the way, give this woman a little punishment, and let her go.
The east is fiery red, and the morning sun is slightly dewed.
Zhou Zhi was still walking in front of the team, and at this time he had left Xinzhuang for almost seven or eight miles, and at a glance, there was almost no village in front of him, and the four fields were empty.
As he was walking quickly, an exclamation suddenly came from behind him, "Oh no, someone is chasing us!" ”
Zhou Zhi looked back, but saw that the dust was flying, and more than a dozen fast horses were galloping over.
