Chapter Ninety-Three: The Escalation of the Conflict

Jiangdian Town, Inspection Division.

Since Zhou Bin was killed by Li Chu for the crime of rebellion, the Jiangdian Town Inspection Department has not had a new military inspection during this period. There is only one civil inspector who temporarily holds both civil and military duties, and has full authority to deal with affairs in the township area.

After the county lieutenant Zhang Ting arrived in Jiangdian Town, he rushed directly into the mansion of the Inspection Division and asked the people of the Inspection Department to cooperate.

Zhang Ting brought a total of fifteen people, and ten people were transferred from the inspection department to cooperate, and a total of twenty-five people went directly to the blacksmith shop.

This Wen inspected but did not follow, and refused on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Last time such a big event happened in Jiangdian Town, Zheng Ba couldn't afford to provoke him, this Li Chu, he couldn't afford to provoke it, what happened in the Ma blacksmith shop today, this Wen inspector knew very well that it was too late for him to hide from the matter linked to Li Chu, let alone expect to go with Zhang Ting to block the horse blacksmith shop.

When Zhang Ting led people to find Ma's blacksmith shop, it was very lively here.

Ten soldiers maintained order, and let the villagers who came with iron pieces line up in turn, and did the work of sand molds, and handed them over to three of the soldiers, and Li Chu told them the key to this.

The horse blacksmith is still responsible for the work of firing iron into molten iron, which no one else can play.

And the two pots made by Li Chu have now become printing tools for making sand molds.

There are still a lot of onlookers, first, this thing feels very new, and second, everyone wants to try it, and they also want to get an iron pot for their home, but they are still in a wait-and-see state.

There are even two hawkers who actually came here to sell fruit snacks and the like, and they shouted constantly.

Immediately, two yacha took sticks to push away the crowd and let Zhang Ting lead people to break in, which immediately focused the attention of the audience on Zhang Ting.

This mission came with the order of the county honor, and Zhang Ting was not afraid of Li Chu's soldiers, as soon as he came in, he immediately ordered the soldiers of the Yacha and the Inspection Department to raid this place.

Li Chu's soldiers, in their eyes like air, one of the yacha immediately rushed forward, one foot on the sand mold wooden box, but the wooden box did not move, this yacha was tripped, covered his feet and got up, picked up the wooden stick in his hand and smashed the wooden box.

One went to get the horse blacksmith, two went to drive the villagers in line, and a few rushed into the horse blacksmith's shop, rummaging through things.

This action immediately angered Li Chu's soldiers.

The two fire chiefs led by him immediately became angry, pulled out the embroidered spring knife at their waist and re-entered the shop, and the rest of the soldiers also went out one after another, pulled out the embroidered spring knife and drove away all the troublesome Yacha and the group.

Today is just to maintain the continuity, the long-pole weapon is not carried, only the embroidered spring knife at the waist does not leave the body.

The two fire chiefs kicked and hurried, and drove out the four yacha who rushed into the shop.

"What do you want to do, I'm doing what I want."

Zhang Ting also pulled out the hand knife on his waist, and the soldiers of the inspection department behind him drew their weapons, Li Chu's soldiers, including them, protected the blacksmith shop, and Zhang Ting's people were in the middle of the field, and the two sides drew their knives and confronted each other.

The onlookers also blew up their nests, many people retreated in fright, some were scared to see that something was wrong here, and immediately ran home, and some were bold, gathering together from afar to watch the situation here.

"Get out of the way, the county government is in charge, the blacksmith Ma is involved in a case, and it must be brought back to the county for investigation, don't interfere with official business."

The two fire chiefs were unmoved, and the order they received was to maintain order here, and no one was allowed to make trouble here, even if it was from the county government.

"No, the commander has an order, no one is allowed to make trouble here, if you want to arrest someone, you have to go to our commander, we only obey the command."

At the same time as the confrontation, one of the fire commanders also made a gesture with his eyes to one of the soldiers, and the latter immediately understood, ran in the direction of Rufen Town, and reported the situation here to Li Chu.

"Let me ask again, do you wait to let or not."

Zhang Ting's face was a little dark, this time, it was the first time since the county lord took office that he had given him a task positively, how could he mess things up because of a little soldier.

The two fire captains didn't answer, but just squeezed the weapons in their hands tighter.

"You and the soldiers of a small township commander dare to obstruct the county government to handle the case, this horse blacksmith is involved in a case related to the anti-thief Wang Qing, you are so obstructed, there must be a plot, maybe it is related to the thief Kou Wang Qing."

"Don't get out of the way yet!"

The soldier remained unmoved.

"The county has an order, someone is obstructing, it is determined to be the same party, everyone follow me!"

Zhang Ting, the county lieutenant, relied on his good kung fu and took the lead in attacking, cutting one of the fire chiefs with a knife.

Li Chu's soldiers also began to do it.

Zhang Ting didn't cut the first knife, the second knife directly hit the chest of this fire chief, tore it, and then made up for it, according to Zhang Ting's experience, this person is dead.

But as a result, the fire leader climbed up again.

The red robe was torn open, revealing the armor inside, and Zhang Ting's knife only left a mark on it, and it didn't hurt him.

Zhang Ting was stunned, although he had seen Li Chu's soldier team before, he didn't know that this soldier was still wearing armor or iron armor, and the power of his knife had to break the leather armor.

Zhang Ting was stunned, another fire chief also attacked, Zhang Ting hurriedly raised his knife to fight, the two knives slashed, Zhang Ting took a few steps back, and the fire chief who was knocked down by Zhang Ting's knife also stood up and jumped up to slash down with a knife.

Zhang Ting raised his knife again.

"Ah......h

With a scream, Zhang Ting's knife was broken into two sections, and the fire chief who jumped up and slashed down in the air, the knife momentum did not decrease, and it went down, Zhang Ting's right arm holding the knife was directly cut off, and the blood soared, and countless blood sprayed out like a high-pressure spray gun.

Seeing this opportunity, a soldier stabbed the poor man in the stomach.

Zhang Ting's painful left hand covered after the broken arm, not only failed to cover the blood, but covered the broken arm even more painfully. Before he could cover it, he was kicked by a fire chief and kicked to the ground, who immediately put the embroidered spring knife between Zhang Ting's neck.

"If you don't stop, Lao Tzu will cut him with a knife!"

The fire chief shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the two parties who were caught in the battle, and everyone saw Zhang Ting, who was captured by the fire chief, and the soldiers of the inspection department reacted the fastest, and threw away the weapons in their hands without saying a word.

A few of these people followed Zhou Bin to Rufen Town last time, and this time they went out to work, that is, they didn't contribute to the work, and after Zhang Ting rushed up, they were just making a show in the back.

Of the fifteen yacha that Zhang Ting brought, there are only six left, and these six are all armed with knives, and the few yacha with wooden sticks have already fallen in a pool of blood and twitching.

Rufen Town.

Li Chu received the news that it was not sent by a soldier.

Instead, the villagers who rushed over from Jiangdian Town, a few villagers immediately ran back to Rufen Town to report to Li Chu as soon as they saw Zhang Ting and his people break into the horse blacksmith shop with the soldiers, and after confronting the soldiers and flashing their knives.

After expressing his gratitude to these villagers, Li Chu immediately returned to the barracks, ordered four teams of 200 soldiers, and rushed to Jiangdian Town.
