Chapter 543: Two Captures and Two Columns

Yuxian rushed out of the house like crazy, desperately ran to her daughter, picked her up, and ran back to the house, and at this moment, the other party's crossbow arrows suddenly stopped firing, until the jade fairy mother and daughter returned to the house, and the terrible sharp arrows flew again.

Seeing Yuxian safely hugging her daughter back, Zhu Xueyan was overjoyed.

Her life is equivalent to being saved by the Jade Fairy, and if something happens to the Jade Fairy's mother and daughter, she will not forgive herself no matter what.

Screams were heard one after another, and soon everything fell silent, and the fire that had been burning was extinguished.

Zhu Xueyan was in shock, when there was a sudden bang on the roof, several holes appeared, and then several black shadows fell ghostly.

Zhu Xueyan swung her knife and was about to throw it out, but unexpectedly they blocked the Jade Fairy Mother and daughter in front of her, Zhu Xueyan hesitated for a moment, and an iron chain with a javelin flew in from the window, entangled the ring blade in her hand.

Zhu Xueyan let go of the hand holding the Qiankun circle, pulled out the short sword, and was about to rush up to rescue the Jade Fairy mother and daughter, but unexpectedly, the other party raised the pistol and aimed at her.

"Don't move! Otherwise! …… You're all dead! The other shouted in a stiff language.

Zhu Xueyan heard their accents, was horrified, and stopped standing in place.

She knew that it was Lin Yiqing's Satsuma killers who were chasing after her.

It's just that these savage and fierce islanders in the eyes of her and the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society did not kill women and children, which really surprised her.

She knew why the fight was so fierce just now, but Wang Siqi was not hurt in the courtyard, and Yuxian was not shot by an arrow when she went to save her.

But. They don't do it to themselves now. What is the meaning?

"I guessed it could be you. Really. A familiar voice came from behind her, and she turned sharply and saw the person who spoke, and for a moment her whole body was cold.

Lin Yiqing!

"In your hands, I have nothing to say, if you want to kill, you can kill it!" Zhu Xueyan turned to face Lin Yiqing's scorching eyes, and somehow, her mood calmed down instantly.

"Just. Please spare their mother and daughter, they don't know anything, they just happened to save me. Zhu Xueyan glanced back at the Jade Fairy mother and daughter, and at this time the two of them were completely stunned and couldn't say a word.

Lin Yiqing's gaze swept over the Jade Fairy mother and daughter, and the Jade Fairy saw his face through the moonlight, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Let their mother and daughter go." Lin Yiqing noticed the change in the expression on Yuxian's face, he thought she was frightened, so he said to the ninja who restrained their mother and daughter.

The two ninjas immediately let go of the Jade Fairy Mother and Daughter and took a step back. But the gun in his hand was still aimed at Zhu Xueyan.

Yuxian broke free from the holding and immediately pounced on her daughter. I cried and hugged my daughter.

"Will you kill me this time, or do you want to take revenge for last time?" Lin Yiqing stared at Zhu Xueyan and asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Xueyan closed her mouth tightly and turned her head.

"Why don't you speak? Haven't you always dared to act in heaven and earth? Lin Yiqing couldn't help but be a little amused when she saw her appearance, "Do you want to say that those people who just died are not from your Heaven and Earth Society?" ”

Zhu Xueyan still didn't answer.

"If you don't speak, we'll have to force you to speak." A ninja said coldly, "Although we don't kill women and children, you'd better be clear, our methods are not something that ordinary people can endure." ”

"There's just death! Where did all this nonsense come from! Zhu Xueyan scolded angrily, her mouth was hard, but her heart was full of sadness and panic.

She was ready, and as soon as the enemy rushed up to grab her, she would bite her tongue and kill herself.

"Kashiwakawa, no need." Lin Yiqing said, and the ninja bowed his head and retreated.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I can know the answer too." Lin Yiqing looked at the stubborn Zhu Xueyan, and a sneering smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Goodbye, woman." ”

"Wrap up." Lin Yiqing waved his hand to his subordinates, "There was a lot of movement just now, and if you can't figure it out, the officers and soldiers will come in a while, so tell everyone to withdraw." ”

"What about this woman?" The ninja named Kashiwakawa asked.

"Let her go." Lin Yiqing said calmly.

"Let her go? Why? Lord? Kashiwagawa asked in surprise.

Lin Yiqing looked at Zhu Xueyan again, "I want her to send a message to the helmsmen of the Heaven and Earth Society, telling them not to act rashly, otherwise, her subordinates will be role models." ”

Lin Yiqing turned around as he said and walked towards the door.

The ninjas put away their weapons and were about to leave the house, when they saw Yuxian, who had been holding her daughter, suddenly pushed her daughter away and raised her hand suddenly, and there was a small pistol in her hand.

The muzzle of her gun was aimed at Lin Yiqing.

Lin Yiqing seemed to have eyes behind his back, and when Bai Chuan and the other ninjas had just issued a warning, Lin Yiqing had already dodged and hid against the wall.

"Bang!" There was a terrible gunshot, and the bullet flew past Lin Yiqing's shoulder, hitting the earthen wall of the opposite house, making a muffled sound, and the earthen wall made a big shallow crater when it landed.

Yuxian missed a shot, and was about to shoot again, when a shiny tip of a knife suddenly stabbed out of her chest.

One of the closest ninjas stabbed her with a knife, preventing her from firing again.

"Mother's ......" Wang Siqi saw that her mother's gaze suddenly became dull, the corners of her mouth flowed blood, and then the knife disappeared from her mother's chest with a swish, she pounced on it, hugged her mother's body, but felt a stream of warm things splash on her body.

Blood, that's blood, mother's blood.

"Big sister! - Zhu Xueyan screamed, trying to pounce on Yuxian's side, but was grabbed by the two ninjas and fell to the ground.

Lin Yiqing's figure reappeared in the house, and he slowly walked to Yuxian's side, picked up the small pistol and looked at it.

It was a double-barreled, American-made Derlinger pistol.

Lin Yiqing came to Yuxian with a small pistol.

"Why did you kill me? Did we know each other before? ”

"You...... This thief...... Your brother caused my husband to be tortured by Ling Chi...... It makes my life worse than death...... Fortunately, the sky has eyes...... Took him...... I couldn't take revenge with my own hands......" Yuxian looked at Lin Yiqing and actually laughed, "Your Lin family...... There is no such thing as a good thing...... I'll kill you...... It's revenge for my husband......"

"Who is your husband?" Lin Yiqing asked with some annoyance.

"I ...... Why...... Tell you......" Jade Immortal spurted out a mouthful of blood. Lin Yiqing flashed to the side. I didn't let the blood splash on my face.

"Who is your husband? Is there some misunderstanding? Lin Yiqing asked with some annoyance.

Yu Xian's body softened suddenly. Then came the little girl's mournful cry.

Lin Yiqing was depressed, but the little girl pounced on him coldly, opening her mouth as if to bite him. Without waiting for Lin Yiqing to make a move, Bai Chuan had already kicked up, and the little girl's head kicked her up and fainted.

"Inexplicable......" Lin Yiqing looked at the little girl who fell to the ground, and stepped forward to probe her snort.

"My lord. This woman, do you still want to let her go? Bai Chuan looked at Zhu Xueyan, who was pressed to the ground but was still struggling, and asked.

Lin Yiqing got up and came to Zhu Xueyan's side, Zhu Xueyan held her head high and glared at him angrily.

"A dog thief surnamed Lin! I won't let you go......" Before she finished speaking, Lin Yiqing had already punched her in the temple, knocking her unconscious.

"Let her go." Lin Yiqing looked at Zhu Xueyan and Wang Siqi who had passed out, and said calmly, "Let's go." ”

The sound of banging is particularly crisp on the quiet long street. Catching Ma Fu woke up from his sleep at once, and it was only three watches. He rubbed his hazy eyes and rolled over. That's where it will be. A baby's cry was heard beside him, and Ma Fu frowned and smacked his mouth twice impatiently. The child didn't pay any attention to it, but cried even more fiercely. His wife Ah Xiang was also woken up, and called her husband's name twice, Ma Fu was afraid of being dragged up to take care of the child, and he was busy pretending to be asleep and snoring slightly, but his ears were not slack, listening to his wife sigh slightly, picked up the child and coaxed him, and slowly got out of bed. Ma Fu's heart fell to the ground and he breathed softly and comfortably.

There is cold rice soup on the table. Ah Xiang held the child in her arms, and with the other hand, she scooped the rice soup with a wooden spoon and sent it to the child's mouth. The little one immediately stopped calling and swallowed with his mouth open. After such a commotion, Ma Fu's sleepiness was gone, and he peeked at the movements of his wife and children from time to time. The little one was soon full, but he refused to continue sleeping, and his two little hands scratched around. Ah Xiang patted the child's back and hummed a small tune to coax the child, and she didn't stop for a long time.

"What a mischievous guy." A seven-month-old child is like a spirit, babbling all day long, but adults seem to understand everything. Ah Xiang's tone was half a point heavier, and the child immediately pursed his face and lowered the corners of his mouth, looking pitiful.

"Okay, okay, my mother is not talking about you." Ah Xiang hurriedly shook the child a few times to appease, and said unwillingly: "It's really a virtue to be with his father." ”

Listening to his wife talk about himself, Ma Fu hurriedly closed his eyes and snored heavily. The wife seemed to be talking to herself, as if she was talking to her son.

"When I didn't get married, I had a good flower and a good peach, and I followed you all day long. Give him a good face for three days, and give him a roll of his eyes, I'm afraid he won't even have the heart to live. At that time, his chest was beating loudly, and it was right to boast that he followed him. We don't have to be glorious and rich in silk and satin, but who doesn't want that little life to be prosperous? Day after day, year after year, the fast catch in Ningping Town is still a fast catch. ”

Ma Fu's face was hot for a while, and he snorted as he listened to his wife continue:

"Child, in fact, as long as the family can live a good life, I don't care if your father has to find an official position, we ordinary people have their own happiness. I'm afraid that he has a set before and after marriage, and he used to take your mother to chat in the teahouse or around the village, and pick a few flowers and stuff them into people's arms. Nowadays, you can sit at home outside, listen to books and drink with fox friends and dog friends all day long, where do you remember your mother. Now I understand that this married girl is not as good as a hairy phoenix. See, I said that my mother will take you during the day, and my father will feed you in the middle of the night, and I can't count on it at all when it comes to a critical moment. Child, let me tell you a little secret, your father usually snores softly, and if he hears a sound like a pig's bark, he must be pretending. ”

Ma Fu was shocked when he heard this, and the snoring he had originally prepared was halfway through, and he couldn't go back or enter. Choked and coughed. I had to sit up. He stammered, "Who and who are you talking to?" ”

"Don't make any noise, the child is asleep."

Ah Xiang turned her face and blew out the oil lamp, and the room suddenly darkened.

Ma Fu was still very young when he came to Ningping Town, and his martial arts were also good, so he became a catcher, but in the eyes of people at that time, this profession actually did not have much future.

The fast catches of the Middle-earth dynasties all belonged to the government service. Like the Great Qianchao. The composition of the local government, in addition to the official seal, is the six-room scribe and the third-class officer. There are three classes of servants, the first is the soap class, which stands for the county officials and serves as the guard of honor, and also serves as the executioner to help scare people when the case is heard. The second is the fast class, which is to catch fast. It is used to take thieves, solve crimes and collect taxes. The third is the Zhuang class, which belongs to the temporarily convened migrant workers who do miscellaneous work. Assist in defending the city in times of crisis. Obviously, for the governance of a county. The status of catching fast is very important.

However, the important status of the fast catcher is the status of a pariah. The three classes of officials, except for the strong class, are all untouchables. Someone from a family who did this, three generations could not participate in the imperial examination, at least in theory, lower than the status of ordinary peasants. Why should such an important position be filled by untouchables? Because the work of catching quick work, in the eyes of the ancients, is a bad behavior, a work that offends people, and a kind of cheap karma. Always have to arrest people and take people, always deal with bad people and bad things, serious people are destined to disdain this, so they can only let the untouchables do it (in fact, not only the East, but also the ancient West, the police of the ancient Greek city-states were also done by slaves, and the citizens committed crimes, and the lowly slaves had to arrest them. Whenever there is a citizens' assembly, many citizens who are lazy and refuse to come out for the meeting are also driven out by slaves with ropes).
