Chapter 443: Heavy Rain (Part II)
The culprit who single-handedly contributed to the tiger's release from the cage did not expect that the first thing the beast devoured was not the prey, but the person who opened the door. At the beginning of the killing, Huang Enhou only thought that he was a thug of the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau and had another conflict with the machine owner, but he did not pay attention to it, and still went to the inner hall on time to burn incense and worship the Buddha, until Huang Jien knocked open the door in embarrassment, and he realized that the situation had changed.
The Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is also garrisoned by soldiers, but after a long period of peace, the soldiers basically have no sense of security. Before they could react, they were all put to the ground, and the soldiers were disorganized as a large number of servants entered. Some people want to fight, others want to escape, and some want to retreat to the inner courtyard, and there is chaos. At this moment, the mechanics in the weaving and dyeing bureau took the opportunity to fight, and the soldiers were attacked from inside and outside, and they were suddenly disrupted.
In this era, the formation that the army is best at cannot be put out, everyone fights independently, and the level of individual martial arts and the number of people become more important.
The owners of the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau are actually similar to slaves. Although nominally they were in a relationship of employment and employment with the imperial court, in reality no one could interfere with the affairs of the department because the accounts of the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau were not open to the public. How the machine owners are treated, whether they can get the money, and how much money they can get, all depends on the character of the eunuch in charge. And the conduct of this type of person has never been very trustworthy.
During Huang Enhou's tenure, most of the workers working in the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau were in a similar situation to Dong Xiaowu. Many of them were caught in the yamen under the pretext of serving as prisoners, and their work was part of hard labor. They are not paid anything other than the food they need to survive, and they work from morning to night with little rest. Complaining or resisting will only attract severe beatings, and if you are unlucky and killed, it will be nothing more than one more floating corpse in the river. For Huang, human life is not a big deal. Even the sick or the people who can't do it, many times they die unexplained.
Of course, one or two mechanics are not the opponents of these thugs, relying on this kind of high-pressure means, for a long time, in the eyes of the Huang family's father and son, the mechanics can no longer be regarded as people, they can only be regarded as two-legged sheep, no matter how they abuse, there will be no problem. It wasn't until Huang Enhou came outside that he found that not only people can eat sheep, but sheep can also eat people.
As the base of the pyramid, the number of workers in Jiangning City is the largest, although they are chronically malnourished and in poor physical fitness. However, the huge gap in numbers, coupled with the determination to fight to the death, still made them the most formidable group of opponents on the battlefield.
Those who were the most ferocious in the past are now the most besieged. Even a skilled fighter is not too cheap in front of angry workers. They can knock over a few people, but when dozens of people pounce on them together, this kind of force doesn't help.
Or with fists or weapons, or even simply gnashing teeth in the most primitive way. The workers used all means to vent their hatred and anger. The water in the courtyard is getting redder and redder. More and more people are falling, and the resistance belonging to the officers and soldiers is gradually weakening.
"Hurry up and transfer troops!" Huang Enhou shouted to a guard beside him, the location of the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau is not far from the Sixth Division, and if it is attacked here, someone will definitely come to the rescue. The guard, who was extremely skilled and experienced, did not try to escape from the courtyard, but tiptoed to the ground and swept up the roof like a giant bird. Although the tiles are slippery, they can still maintain their speed with the support of years of diligent practice. In a few ups and downs, the person had gradually gone away, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a waterline exploded in front of his eyes in the dim rain curtain.
Columns of water burst out, like spikes in a stone forest, blooming quickly in front of his eyes. The guard subconsciously dodged to the side, but only felt a cool breeze blowing through the front door. His evasion action was not affected in the slightest by this wind, and he still insisted on completing the evasion, the only difference is that this action is only half completed. The left half of his body was still moving, but the right side of his body was not moving.
Just a few breaths later, the guard's body cracked apart, evenly split into two parts, and the sky was filled with blood mist.
And the maker of this scene did not stop, holding the jet-black long blade in his hand and scurrying in the direction of Huang Enhou, and the two guards flew to meet him, but only blocked one move, and the weapons in their hands were broken. The next thing to break is the arm, then the leg, and finally the head......
The man is perfectly capable of killing with a single blow, but he clearly enjoys the process of killing, deliberately creating pain before the other person dies and, more importantly, creating fear for bystanders. Even Huang Enhou, who claims to eat people and does not spit out bones, his face is gradually turning pale at this time, and he retreats with the support of the guards, gritting his teeth and saying, "Luo Wu! ”
The man in charge of contact with Luo Wu didn't care much at this time, and ran towards him with a knife, saying as he ran: "Luo Wu! What do you mean? Our lord helped you, and you in turn took a knife to cut us! Eat inside and out! Ungrateful! Do you have a conscience like this? ”
Knife spirit!
The rain on the ground was spurred by the sword qi, like a whip made of water, and the guard's clothes exploded, and his body was dripping with blood.
Luo Wu's voice came through the rain.
"Are you worthy to talk to me about your conscience? Beast! You are man-eating beasts! You gave me the sword, not to avenge me, but to kill someone. Since you want to see me kill, I'll kill you! Is there enough people in the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau? If it's not enough, you can also add the shrine! Otherwise, add ...... The wealthy of Jiangning. All man-eating beasts must die! Come on, eat me! Eat me like you eat rouge and other poor people! Let's see if you're good or I'm good! I'm not afraid of you. ”
The knife is like the wind. A sword that can be called a sharp blade, slashing enemies who try to help in two. Luo Wu's martial arts are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, fighting alone, few of the people present are his opponents, even if it is not easy to resist one and a half moves.
The knife-wielding Luo Wu is like a tireless robot, swinging a slash towards the rain curtain and towards the world.
Born in the mountains, he never saw his mother since he was a child, and only followed his father to hunt. The target of their hunt: people.
All those who pass through the mountains and forests are their prey. Set traps, use medicated arrows, and use anything as long as you can hunt. According to his father, his mother was also one of the prey, and she was still an official lady, and he didn't know what it meant until he became an adult, but by then his father was dead. Died of a medicine arrow buried by his father's own hands.
Luo Wu's master insisted that it was the mountain god's revenge for his indiscriminate killing of innocents, so he taught Luo Wu to atone for his father's sins. His master had come to the mountains to exterminate demons, and that demon was his father. But God's pace was faster, so the monk pounced. Luo Wu thought that he would also die, but he didn't expect the monk to say that he was not good, not only did he not kill him, but took him as a disciple and brought him back to teach martial arts.
After Luo Wu's martial arts were successful, the monk asked him to go hunting in the mountains, and he was not allowed to use any props, but only in hand-to-hand combat. Except for the necessity of subsistence, it is not allowed to actively hunt small beasts, and only to be enemies of man-eating beasts. There are enough dangerous animals in that barren mountain that there is nothing to do. His martial arts were practiced in that environment, and the fighting methods honed between life and death plus the teachings of monks, his skills should be very high, at least he himself thinks so. Especially with the weapons given to him by the monk, it is not difficult to kill any beast.
But then the monk said that he was very murderous and liked to see the painful appearance of his prey before death, and taught him several times. Luo Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with that, anyway, those were beasts and not people, so what's the problem with torturing beasts? But no matter what he thought, the monk was not satisfied. Luo Wu once thought that the master would kill himself after his patience was exhausted, but he didn't want the monk with strong martial arts to die in front of him.
Before the monk died, he agreed to the other party's last request, sealed the knife, and stopped killing. So he left the mountains with the Buddha statue hidden in the knife, and took the four seas as his home, chanting the scriptures in front of the Buddha statue every day, learning the appearance of a monk. In fact, he didn't understand the meaning of the scriptures, and he didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, and he recited the scriptures just to forget to kill people.
Because he always remembered the teachings of the monks, when he was most hungry, he only begged and did not hunt. If he hadn't met Yang Baocai, he might have starved to death. He owes the other for his kindness, and he is willing to repay it with his life. But this retribution includes only himself, not his hopes. They don't have to look at him as a human being, they don't have to look at all the Ah Nose as a human being, but they can't take away their last hope. In hell, people rely on only one light to maintain hope, and when someone tries to take even that light away, they can only fight to the death......
Wielding knives and slashing, as the blood flowed more and more, Luo Wu's spirit became more and more excited. He was supposed to save his physical strength, but he was not in a hurry to harvest the lives of his opponents, but more and more enjoyed the feeling of admiring the painful expressions of his prey. This feeling of smashing the enemy with a knife is so refreshing that he is reluctant to give up. The statue of the Buddha was shattered, the beast came out of the cage, and there was no longer restraint, the wild spirit swayed wantonly, and the beast roared.
With a cry of pain, the guard who had been in contact with Luo Wu finally collapsed in the rain, which for him might be called a relief. Luo Wu's sword was raised high and a name was shouted: "Huang Jien!" Then he became short and lunged at him. At this time, the father and son of the Huang family had fled in embarrassment under the protection of some guards, judging from the number of guards, Luo Wu alone was not a threat to them, but at present, the entire Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau was fighting everywhere, more than a group of people and horses were killing Huang Enhou, and the guards were also exhausted. Moreover, Luo Wu's appearance was so fierce that these guards could only think of fleeing for a while, and no one dared to fight.
Luo Wu's leg skills in the mountains were full of explosiveness, and they narrowed the distance between each other in a few breaths. Huang Jien shouted without a word: "Up! Give it to me! Kill him! ”
But he didn't expect a strong force from his waist, and his body staggered forward, falling heavily into the mud. Before he could react to what was happening, he heard Huang Enhou shouting: "Luo Wu, the person you want is him, and we don't care about the grievances between you." Immediately, I saw a pair of feet wearing official boots, and quickly opened the distance between him and Huang Jien.
Bastard!
Huang Jien only felt that a breath was in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down. He is also a famous pranky tiger in Jiangning City, in a sense, he is the master who specializes in playing tricks on others, when did he fall to the point of being tricked by others? This damn gelding!
He was about to scold, but he felt a pain in his back, and he had just climbed halfway through it, and fell heavily into the rain, which poured down his mouth and into his throat. The jet-black spine of the knife slapped lightly on his face twice, and Luo Wu's hoarse voice sounded above his head.
"When Rouge was plagued by Yang Shida, it was also the same feeling. She took Yang Shida as her brother...... You're not human! It's the beast. Beast, you have to die! ”
The blade flashed, the blood thickened, and a severed hand fell limply in the rain.
Huang Jien wanted to shout something, but he couldn't shout anything, and the great pain blocked all his words. Only Luo Wu's cold voice, "I know what you want to say. Yang Shida will have retribution, but the person who will retribution for him is not me. Master Fan asked me to sue, but I won't sue, because I know that the complaint is useless, you are not under the control of the county yamen, and the only one who can manage you is the king of Yama! But you don't have to rush, the process will be slow...... Enjoy. ”
"Official...... Soldier ......" Huang Jien tried his best to shout these two words, but Luo Wu didn't care and said: "Officers and soldiers...... They're going to be busy today and don't have much time for you guys. The beasts of the entire Jiangning are waiting for them to save them, and they can't take care of yours. We continue, this time...... Start here! His knife moved between Huang Jien's legs......
Thunder roared like the drums of war. A war with no leadership and no goal broke out under the banner of "Unwilling". The targets of the attack were the high-ranking families and gentry families in Jiangning City, and the attackers were often the lowest-level servants of the family. Some of them had to pay their debts because of their debts, and some of them were forced to become slaves because they could not survive. Others have changed from free men to slaves because of the calculations of the master's family.
They were far more numerous than the main family, and some of them were themselves guardians, so when they raised their swords, the main family did not have much strength to protect themselves. The former high-ranking master was dragged out of the room and knelt in the rain, venting his dissatisfaction and anger that he had accumulated on weekdays.
Of course, there are also some large families who close their doors and guard them with sticks, not only do not harm the master's family, but even when someone tries to trick these house slaves outside to attack the master, they will also be scolded and scolded by the servants, and even take things and throw them out.
On the whole, the situation in Shangyuan County is far better than that in Jiangning, but it does not mean that it is peaceful. When Fan Jin's sedan chair came to the door of the Yang Mansion, the Yang family was already in a state of open door, and the sewage flowing out of it was also mixed with dark red colors.
However, the plaque of the Yang family did not fall to the ground, and hung there tenaciously, looking down at the blood left from his own house, listening to the sound of killing.
Fan Jin waved his hand at the person behind him: "Follow me in!" Work! ”
