Chapter 25: The Dagger (I)

"You're spewing blood!" Zhou Buhua heard this, and was the first to jump up and reprimand loudly. "Zhou is here to promote the righteousness of the world, how can he be so insulted by you? If you don't return Zhou's innocence today, Zhou will die with you! ”

"Fight, kill this Zhu butcher's lackey, and eliminate harm for the people!"

"My generation died defending the road today, and it will be remembered through the ages!"

A group of people who had previously taken the lead in fundraisers pulled out daggers and short blades from their waists, and headed towards the staircase with sad and angry faces.

Before they could figure out what was going on, they stood up one by one, at a loss. At this time, Zhou Buhua copied the blanket containing silver and copper coins in his hand, and the tycoon shouted: "Let's go up together, kill the dog leg of this official mansion!" Killed him, let's go to the Confucius Temple together to cry and sacrifice. I don't believe it, Zhu Butcher still dares to kill the world's species! ”

"Defend the way and die, die as you deserve!" The fundraisers who took the lead responded in unison, pulling their legs and rushing up the stairs. It was too late, it was fast, and they had just stepped on three or five steps, when the officer surnamed Zhang suddenly pulled out a short gun half a foot long from his waist. The index finger of his right hand pressed inward suddenly, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the green smoke billowed out. The "reader" who rushed to the front fell on his back.

"Ah——!h The rest of the scholars with short blades shouted loudly in fright, and then waved their arms and shouted loudly, "Everyone go up together, kill him, carry Xu Xiucai and his corpse, and go to the Confucius Temple to reason together." See what the government can do with us?! ”

"Together, the firebolt can only hold one projectile. Let's kill him together, and then let's rush to the Confucius Temple, so that everyone who reads in the world can see Zhu Butcher's face clearly! ”

"Let's go up, let's go together!"

Although they shouted loudly, none of them would take an extra step up the stairs. It was the errand surnamed Zhang who pulled out the second short gun from his waist with a smile, shook it, and said loudly: "There is a kind! If you have a kind, don't shrink back. Zhang has just two firearms, and after the fight, he can only let you wait for the slaughter. Hurry up, don't delay your efforts! ”

When the sword-wielding fundraisers heard this, they were taken aback again. No one dares to bet that the other party has a third deadly guy hidden in his waist. Just when he was in a dilemma, Xu Xiucai, who had been shot over by the fire gun before, suddenly opened his throat and wailed, "Ah——,——! It hurts me to death. You bastards, didn't you say that if you have troubles, you should share blessings and share them? Why don't you go up and avenge Lao Tzu?! ”

"Together, it is the responsibility of our generation to eliminate the demon and defend the way!"

"Everyone is here, my generation reads the books of sages, how can there be no righteousness in my heart!"

"Who has not died since ancient times!"

"Come on, don't hide. When the official arrives, none of us can escape! ”

"My generation has been educated by saints for decades, and the Day of Righteous Death is today!"

The fundraisers, armed with weapons, once again made an impassioned appeal. Mobilize the stunned scholars in the wine shop to go with him to fight with the official surnamed Zhang.

Those who read, although they were scared to the point of weakness of their legs. Listening to their righteous words, I couldn't help but be enthusiastic. Bending down, copying the table legs, moving the chair face, even if the body is as weak as the ordinary family, they all carry the two wine jugs in their hands, ready to throw them at any time.

"Edification by saints? Bah, a few of you also have the face to mention the enlightenment of saints! On the stairs, the official surnamed Zhang was not in a hurry at all. While slowly pinning the empty short gun back to his waist, he scolded loudly: "The saint taught you, and you cheated people out of money under his banner?!" Did the saint teach you to incite innocent people to be cannon fodder? Under the saint's door, there will be no unfilial sons like you! The surname is Zhou, you claim to be the seventh in the township test of Zhongshu Province the year before last. Let me ask you, how many people were admitted to Zhongshu Province that year, who was the first place, and what was the surname of the examiner? ”

"Ahh Zhou Buhua, who was carrying half a blanket of broken silver and copper coins in his hand, was stunned when asked. Immediately, he opened his throat and roared loudly, "He, he's deliberately delaying time." Don't be fooled, everyone, hurry, rush over and kill him. Then let's advance and retreat together! ”

"Retire your mother!" The officer surnamed Zhang raised his hand first, and shot him on the blanket in Zhou Buhua's hand, blasting him away. The copper coins and broken silver in it fell all over the ground with a bang. Then, while everyone was slightly stunned, he continued to remind loudly: "He doesn't even know who the examiner is, and he dares to boast of being seventh in the township exam." Lao Tzu has a list here, from the first to the seventy-fifth, that is, a person surnamed Zhou, or an old Confucian who is over the age of six. No matter how tender he looks, he can't look like this! ”

With that, he pinned the second firearm to his waist, reached out and took out a piece of leather paper from his sleeve, and shook it vigorously in the air, "You fools, hurry up and open your dog's eyes to see." This is the township test list issued by the Mengyuan government, which one can match the surname Zhou? ”

"Ahh The enthusiastic scholars immediately realized that something didn't seem to be quite right. They all stopped, and their big eyes widened and their small eyes widened.

"You spew blood, don't be fooled!" Seeing this, several fundraisers with knives knew that the more they delayed, the more trouble they would be, so they shouted and took the lead to rush upstairs again. However, although the officer surnamed Zhang has no firearms, his skills are far sharper than ordinary people. Raising his leg and kicking the two fastest rushing men first, then bending down to pick up the daggers they had fallen, swiping left and right, "dingding" a few times, forcing the others back to the bottom of the stairs.

"Ziyang Academy, founded in the Song Dynasty, was destroyed by the Yuan soldiers in the south. It was rebuilt in She County in the first year and moved north in the second year. From the second year to this year, a total of 178 students have graduated, and 210 are currently studying. The surname is Zhou, since you studied under Ziyang Academy, dare to ask which teacher is your teacher? In which year did you graduate, who are your classmates? The officer surnamed Zhang stood at the top of the stairs and asked loudly, every sentence was like a dagger stabbed on the cheeks of Zhou Buhua and others.

That week, Buhua and his accomplices heard about it and knew that the matter was exposed. But he was reluctant to drop the silver taels and copper coins on the ground, looked at the other scholars, and said loudly, "Don't listen to him." He is the detective of Zhu Butcher, why is there no excuse for the crime he wants to add? Everyone will either fight with him today, or wait for the yamen to go door to door to arrest people, and no one will be spared! ”

"Bullshit!" The officer surnamed Zhang reacted very quickly, and before the scholars became impulsive, he retorted loudly: "The chief manager of my family will even let go of the captured Mongolian Tatars, how can I pay attention to you few poor people?!" As for the surname Zhou"

After a slight pause, he quickly added, "First of all, in the name of going south to admonish each other with death, I cheated enough money in Enzhou." Then he deceived all the way to Huai'an. On the fourth day of the first month of last month, he was deceived by 400 yuan in Gaoyou, and all of them bought the dry shares of Huaiyang Firm. On the third day of the first month of this month, he deceived Jiang Ning again. I don't believe you can search his body and see if the stock is with him! ”

"Ah——!h The scholars looked at each other, and the legs of the stool, the table, and the jug in their hands could no longer be lifted. Zhou Buhua's diploma fraud, for the sake of the other party's dog-like sake, maybe they can tolerate it. But this person actually bought the shares of Huaiyang Company with his donation, doesn't it clearly feel that Huaiyang Company has a bright future? How can you still have the cheekiness to fool everyone to live and die with them?!

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Zhou Buhua angrily one by one. The latter and his accomplices, although thick-skinned, also knew that they could no longer fool around today. As if he had made an appointment in advance, he shouted, "Everyone hurry up and go together, it is my responsibility to eliminate the demon and defend the way!" ”。 Immediately, he slammed into the scholars around him who were trembling with anger, and fled.

"Where to go?" The officer surnamed Zhang broke off with a snort, used the dagger as a flying knife, and threw it at Zhou Buhua's ass fiercely.

"Ah——!h Zhou Buhua's buttocks, obviously not as thick-skinned, screamed and fell, rolling back and forth under the table.

None of his accomplices stopped to help, and continued to rush towards the door of the liquor store. Unexpectedly, several water and fire sticks suddenly stretched out in front of him, "Woo, Woo, Woo!" "A few blows on the head, knocking them all to the ground.
