Chapter XVIII

Zhu Guoyong swaggered through the downtown area, and in the evening, Baozhong North Street and South Street were very lively, and many of the shops had to pay him protection money.

The two people in front of him, one left and one right, and two people behind him, these four bodyguards are all his henchmen, and they follow him everywhere, and other Qingpi subordinates will only be summoned if they have something to do, and they will try to get money by themselves, and they have to hand over a share of the money when they get it, and Zhu Guoyong will provide protection for these people.

His status in the rivers and lakes mainly comes from the identity of the Qing Army Department, there is a member of the system who takes his offerings all the year round, and he will protect him in case of trouble, and he has never been arrested by the Yamen arrester, even if he wants to be caught on the surface, he will be told to hide in advance, and the rumors will come back again, so many years, the boat has never capsized.

This morning, he took someone to Zhang's house to make a fuss, and it was expected that he could get a lot of silver from He Yusheng, and Zhu Guoyong's mood was also very happy.

Zhang Han lowered the brim of the warm hat and followed from a distance.

Liang Xing and Yang Qiu followed further, they were familiar faces, and they had already turned against Xinping, Zhu Guoyong recognized it at a glance, and he would inevitably be vigilant.

After following for a while, Zhang Han lagged behind, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu came over, and Liang Xing whispered: "He is too well prepared, and he can't find a chance on the street." ”

Zhang Han said: "How is his family? ”

Yang Qiu said: "It's even more difficult at home, these people all live in his house, and they also have a few big dogs, and they bark when they get close." ”

Zhang Han gritted his teeth and said, "Then it's better to find a way on the street, and if you want to find a way, kill him here on North Street." ”

Yang Qiu pursed his lips and said, "The young proprietor said that it was easy to say, but it was a little difficult to do......

Liang Xing also said: "It's better to call all the people and fight on the street, so as to warn other forces." ”

"Nope." Zhang Han said: "As soon as we leave, Zhu Guoyong will definitely take revenge, I can't leave my mother and business in the castle." ”

"What then?"

"You tell the two of them to take a detour ahead of them, one of them pretends to be stolen and shouts to catch the thief, and the other throws the copper coin, causing chaos, let's see if we can take the opportunity to do it."

It's a crude way to do it, but it's simple and effective in creating chaos on the streets.

Yang Qiu admired it in his heart, took the copper coin, and began to detour forward with another person.

At this time, Zhang Han took a hammer from the ironsmith shop on the side of the road, caged it in his sleeve, and slowly paced forward.

The Liang people were holding short knives in their hands, and they scattered in the crowd and walked forward slowly.

Zhang Han's heart was as calm as water, and he was still a little hesitant when he decided, and by this time he had eliminated all distracting thoughts. He used to do fights before, and it was the first time that he had done such a thing with the goal of killing people, and it was rare that he was not flustered in his heart.

In this era, it is necessary to adapt to the times, there are murders in various places, and human life is not worth much in these years, especially the level of public security and detection in the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, not to mention compared with later generations, even if the later generations are hundreds of years later, there are many murder cases that cannot be solved.

After walking for half an hour, the sky gradually got dark, Zhu Guoyong walked proudly in front, many people were greeting him, his face was full of flattering smiles, Zhu Guo's face was proud, a thousand general rode by, with a few family guards, Zhu Guoyong then gave way to the side, Qian always glanced at him, and did not pay attention, after the thousand general left, Zhu Guoyong spat on the ground, and swaggered forward.

At this time, Yang Qiu and the others finally rushed to the front, and saw that Zhu Guoyong was about to arrive at the intersection of North Street, which is connected to South Street, and there is a drum tower, which is the most lively boundary in the fort, the surrounding area is empty, and the flow of people is very dense, Yang Qiu shouted: "Dog day steal my money, kill you." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed another person and punched him, but the man did not speak, threw the small bag in his hand into the air, and shouted: "Everyone has a share in the money." ”

Inside is Zhang Han gave more than 1,000 gold back money, and some scattered silver, copper coins and silver horns are thrown on the ground and rolled all over the ground, the crowd is chaotic all of a sudden, at this time it is the time when the shops are closed, those young men see it and immediately come to rob, the pedestrians on the side of the road are also, after a while, someone picked up dozens of Wen, shouted happily, of course, no one wants to return it to the owner, there are some people fighting for a silver horn, each does not give in, first speak badly to each other, and then they have to fight.

More people poured over, squeezing the water here, Zhu Guoyong was also crowded by the flow of people on the side of the road to the corner of South Street, facing the Drum Tower, he saw that there were also people running down the Drum Tower, obviously trying to grab money, he screamed and scolded.

Two of the four bodyguards were squeezed into the crowd and were struggling to walk back, some people thought that they had picked up the money and wanted to leave, but they deliberately blocked these two people and couldn't squeeze out for a while, and the other two were behind Zhu Guoyong, scolding and scolding forward.

At this time, Zhang Han and Liang Xing rushed to start, Liang Xing rushed forward with an arrow, Zhu Guoyong saw him and immediately pulled out the waist knife with his hand, at this time Zhang Han snatched out of his left hand, and smashed it with a hammer, Zhu Guoyong had a lot of experience in street fighting, and twisted his waist in a hurry, the hammer did not hit his chest and abdomen, only smashed on his left arm, Zhang Han was extremely violent, only heard a click, but the hammer smashed Zhu Guoyong's left arm.

At this time, Liang Xing stabbed over with a short knife, and several other tigers also rushed out, one holding one, holding Zhu Guoyong's two guards from behind, and the other person stabbed the left chest and right abdomen of the two with daggers.

As long as the bandage is used to stop the bleeding in time, it will not endanger life, and it will instantly make people lose their combat effectiveness.

On the other side, Liang Xing didn't stab, Zhu Guoyong hurriedly pulled out the knife and slashed over, Liang Xing had to tilt his body, withdraw his hand and let it aside, then Zhang Han slammed it again, this time it smashed at the broken bone, Zhu Guoyong hit the wall in pain, but his right hand was still waving the knife, and he wanted to cut Zhang Han back.

Liang Xing got the opportunity, turned around, and slashed at Zhu Guoyong's right wrist, the knife flashed, and Zhu Guoyong's right hand landed with the knife.

Zhang Han swung the hammer and swung it violently at Zhu Guoyong's chest, this hammer weighed five or six catties, it should be a heavy hammer used by stonemasons, after a few hammers, Zhu Guoyong's chest collapsed badly, blood was spurting in his mouth and nose, and his eyes rolled up, obviously unable to live.

Liang Xing threw away the short knife, pulled out the pickle, and stabbed Zhu Guoyong in the neck a few times, and the blood gushed up like a spring.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Han lost the hammer, there were already people shouting murder, the crowd was even more chaotic, he pulled down the warm hat, covered his face completely, and Liang Xing took advantage of the chaos to walk into the alley, after a quarter of an hour of hard work, it was completely dark, everyone around lit oil lamps, housewives were cooking in the stove, a few children were playing in front of the door by the faint light of the kitchen, and when they saw Zhang Han and others, they looked at them with curious eyes.

Zhang Han's hands were full of blood, he squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of soil, wiped it vigorously, the dry soil turned into mud, and also brought the blood from his hands down.

"The young proprietor is really amazing."

Liang Xing and Yang Qiu joined together, and the two stood in front of Zhang Han, their faces full of admiration.

"You can do this for me in the future." Zhang Han said with a smile.

Yang Qiu patted his chest and said, "Yes, please rest assured that the young proprietor will sell this hundred catties to the young proprietor." ”

Liang Xing said: "Today's thing is done smoothly, Zhu Guoyong is very good in the meeting, if this happens, others know what to do, at least in the short term, no one will come to the house to find trouble." ”

Zhang Han nodded slightly, his eyes were full of deep exhaustion, and he said softly: "That's what you want." ”

……

In the morning, Zhang Han had breakfast at home as usual, although the people in the house were panicked, they were still able to settle down, and there was no chaos in the pot.

Speaking of porridge, Zhang Han actually doesn't eat much of the Huang Cancan's millet porridge that Shanxi people love to eat, and he loves japonica rice more, but japonica rice is produced less here in Shanxi, and the trade with the Mongolians is based on all kinds of grains and millet, wheat, and less japonica rice, Zhang Han can only endure it.

Zhang Han now understands that there are no out-of-season vegetables in this era, and there are very few, which are very expensive, and everyone makes all kinds of vegetables into kimchi in summer and autumn for wintering, and if you want to eat fresh, let's talk about it in the late spring of the next year.

Always eating pickles, Zhang Han already feels very greasy, but the average people eat a jar of kimchi for a winter, without that jar of kimchi, there is no food, no mouth, not to mention, and lack of vitamin intake, so a jar of kimchi for a horse, in fact, the Mongolians did not suffer much loss.

After eating breakfast and wiping his mouth, Liang Hong rushed to the mansion with Liang Xing and Yang Qiu.

Because they were going to go far away, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu were both dressed in suits, with parcels and luggage, and the two horns were still tied with leggings, looking capable and neat.

Seeing Zhang Han, the two Lama Hu were smiling and greeting Zhang Han, while they were also observing Zhang Han's expression.

Seeing Zhang Han calmly wiping his mouth with a leisurely expression, the smiles of the two bullies were a little stagnant.

Even if it is them, there will be some adaptation and adjustment after such a killing, and the person who killed last night was not an ordinary person, it was a powerful tiger leader.

Zhang Han's luggage was also ready while talking, the four men went out together, originally said to prepare the car, Zhang Han insisted on not to, he had learned to ride a horse, and later generations were equestrian enthusiasts, horseback riding was a piece of cake for him, the set of cars was more comfortable than horseback riding, but it was also very limited, the roads in these years were very poor, the two-wheeled board car had no shock absorption, the space was also small, sitting in it was very cramped, not to mention, at the end of the day, the bones were going to be bumpy and scattered, for Zhang Han, it was not as comfortable as riding a horse.

Chang's is also up to see him off, the situation is urgent, related to the life and death of the family and the business, although Chang is distressed about his son's suffering, and is likely to encounter white eyes, in vain, but in any case, it is better to go like this than to sit at home and wait for death.
