Chapter 30: The Scourge of Prison
"Okay." Wang Xiancheng patted the man on the shoulder with satisfaction, then waved his hand backwards, and ordered his men and horses to quietly separate a few roads, all the way around the mountain, come out from the other side of the mountain, cut off the way out of the Japanese robbers, and the other roads also scattered in all directions, carefully approaching the wooden house, it is best to be able to quietly surround the wooden house without alarming the people in the house, leaving no dead ends.
Then, he instructed the guard Jiang Sanshan to say: "You take a few people, dressed in civilian clothes, and after they are surrounded and closed, you try to get close to the wooden house, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, find out the exact location of the Japanese robbers, and wait for the opportunity to move, see whether to lure them out of the house and work together to encircle and suppress them, or take advantage of their unpreparedness, rush into the house, and take them down in one fell swoop." Remember, be cautious and try to get as many shots as possible to reduce casualties. ”
"Yes." Sanshan took the order and left.
About a pillar of incense time later, a signal came from the opposite hill that they were in place, and the county man waved his hand backwards, and several people and horses got down and quietly surrounded the wooden house.
"My lord, they won't be able to run this time." That Doctor Lu came to Wang Xiancheng, "These two thieves must be in this house, and one of them is also injured, so many of us are like wolves and tigers, under the wise leadership of adults, they must be able to catch them without much effort, hehe." ”
The county man was expressionless, his eyes just stared at the wooden house, and he didn't say a word.
He knew that this Doctor Lu was actually trying to remind him of the fact that he was going to cash in the bonus, and no one had seen it yet, so how could he have the heart to talk to him about any reward.
Seeing that it was boring, Dr. Lu laughed dryly twice and withdrew.
Seeing that the encirclement was about to be formed, suddenly the door of the house opened, and a person came out of it, carrying a basin of water, and sprinkled it outside the courtyard with a bang, this person had a shiny beard under his forehead, and with the action of sprinkling water, the beard threw out a beautiful arc, which was the old man who appeared in the town.
After pouring the water, he was about to turn around, suddenly, the corner of his eye seemed to see something wrong, and when he looked back, he saw many people bending down in the field not far away, and then his eyes swept around quickly, and his heart was shocked, and the basin in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he turned around and jumped into the room.
"It's not good, I've been discovered, rush me." Wang Xiancheng shouted.
All the fast catchers immediately straightened up, pulled out their weapons, and rushed forward.
The door of the wooden house slammed, and it opened again, and I saw three people leaping out, one was the black hunter, holding a steel fork, and the other was the man who had just poured water, and he was carrying a narrow sword in his right hand, but looking at its shape, the sword body was curved, and it was somewhat like a knife, and his left hand was supporting a young man, who had a splint on his foot, and was tiptoeing, and he was also carrying a long sword in his hand, and a short sword pinned to his waist, and his body was facing the crowd sideways.
"Catch the widows and reward them with a hundred taels of silver." The county man yelled.
The two people were taken aback, and they hurriedly supported each other and turned their heads and fled to the back mountain, and after fleeing not far away, they heard the sound of killing in the back mountain, and they collided with the people who blocked the back road, and fought together.
"What are you doing?" Enraged, the black hunter danced the steel fork in his hand to block the crowd that rushed up.
"Orion, this is a case handled by the imperial court, and you want to resist arrest?" Jiang Sanshan shouted.
"Let me ask, what crime did Wu commit? Why was it caught? The black hunter's eyes widened with rage.
At this time, the shouting and killing sound in the back mountain was even louder, and there were constantly miserable screams, and the people wanted to come forward to surround them, but they were blocked by the black hunters and the only way up the mountain.
"Orion, quickly lay down your weapons, we are waiting to hunt down the Japanese Kou." Sanshan drank again.
"Wolver? What is a Wako? I live in the mountains, not a widow. The black hunter said as he continued to dance the steel fork so that people could not get close.
Jiang Sanshan was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and shouted at the black hunter: "The two people you took in are the Japanese Invaders, you quickly get out of the way, if you get rid of the Japanese Invaders, your sin is unforgivable." ”
Wu Orion was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly stopped the steel fork in his hand, and hesitated at Jiang Sanshan: "The two people I took in are bad people?" ”
Jiang Sanshan glared at him viciously, and then led his men to rush to the back of the mountain.
Wang Xiancheng also led a few people to rush up at this time, he witnessed the whole process, as soon as he got close to the black hunter, he rushed forward and slapped him, and then pointed at the black hunter and reprimanded: "Okay, you are a black hunter, you not only took in the widows, but also covered their escape, resisting arrest by force, is this worth it?" Left and right, take it for me. ”
Rushed up a few people left and right, took out the rope and tied up the black hunter, the black hunter did not resist, but shouted to Wang Xiancheng: "The county official, the old man lives in the mountains and forests, he doesn't know what a widow is, he thinks he hasn't done anything bad, and suddenly saw so many people come to arrest me, I was scared, I didn't really want to go against the official, I didn't know that you were going to arrest the two guests, if I knew that they were bad people, I would definitely not take them in, I would definitely report to the lord in advance, please forgive the lord, let me go." ”
Wang Xiancheng didn't want to listen to his explanation at this time, but hurriedly bypassed and led everyone to the back mountain.
At the time of the two pillars of incense, the sound of the fight finally stopped, Wang Xiancheng returned to the front of the house with the catcher and the people, but saw a few men in the front pushing a person with five flowers, this person was covered in blood, and his clothes were torn one by one, although his hands were tied, but his face was still a look of arrogance, it was the young widow, limping.
He was followed by a few Minzhuang, all with some wounds, but fortunately it was not too heavy, and it had been bandaged simply, and then it followed, but it surprised Wu Orion, because he saw that some Minzhuang actually carried a few temporary stretchers made of branches on the mountain, and there were three or four people lying on the stretchers, motionless, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
And the older one is gone.
Everyone stopped in front of the house of the Wu Orion family, Wang Xiancheng's face turned black, his teeth were clenched, and the crowd hunted heads and people did not dare to gasp, they all lowered their heads and looked at their toes.
"Damn." Wang Xiancheng kicked over a chair that Minzhuang had just set up for him, and then raised his finger and pointed at the trappers who were in a circle: "There are so many of you, even though you have surrounded these two widows, you can still let one of them escape, and you also injured eight of us and killed four of us, it is really a rice bucket, waste, and a great shame." ”
"County Cheng, these two people are strong in martial arts and are good at technical strikes...... Jiang Sanshan said with a sigh.
"Even if they are strong in martial arts, you have twenty or thirty people, and they are surrounded to death, but look at these wastes, when they see people coming with knives and guns, they will only shout loudly in their mouths, and how many of them can rush forward bravely? There are also some guys who actually saw the Japanese rushing over, and they turned around and ran, dozens of you, there are only two of them, what are you running? Thirty people fight two are afraid? If everyone rushed up, they would have been cut to the ground a long time ago, but as a result, they were grabbed and cut by others, and three or four people's lives were ruined, and seven or eight people were injured. The county was annoyed.
"These people usually farm for a living, and have not experienced a life-and-death struggle. It may be okay to let them be vigilant, and if they fight with thieves, especially if they fight to the death, they will ......" Jiang Sanshan stood awkwardly in front of the crowd,
"There are only two thieves, and one of them was escaped, so how can I go back and explain to the county's fathers." Wang Xiancheng stroked his forehead and said dejectedly.
"I said Master Guan, this thief is in the mountains, he is not familiar with the place, maybe he can't get out, and there are many beasts in this mountain, maybe he will be eaten by wild beasts, hehe, you don't have to worry." The black hunter grinned, "Now that things have proven that I have nothing to do with those two widows, can you let me go?" ”
"You? …… If it weren't for you, we would have surrounded them a long time ago, how could we let them escape, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have killed or injured anyone, and you still want to let them go? Bring it back to the county government for me, and I'll talk about it after I get it clear. Wang Xiancheng gritted his teeth at the black hunter.
"No, Master Guan, this matter really has nothing to do with me, I'm just kind-hearted, I only reached out to save someone when I saw someone injured, and I didn't stop you today because of a misunderstanding, this matter has nothing to do with me, besides, I have a six-year-old grandson, you take me away, what can my grandson do, it will starve to death." The black hunter hurriedly argued.
"Hmm." The county man seemed to be a little moved, but then raised his head: "You harbored the Japanese invaders privately, and obstructed them when the government handled the case, which eventually led to the escape of the Japanese invaders, although it was unintentional, but it caused very serious consequences, you must bear the corresponding consequences, you must be arrested, as for whether you are guilty or not, you need to make a decision after the county order is promoted." ”
After thinking about it, he asked again: "Then what about your grandson, why didn't you see any trace of him?" ”
"Because I had to go to the town early in the morning to buy medicine for those two people, I sent my grandson to Wang Orion's house, alas, I knew that they were bad people, so I didn't go, I spent money, and I made a fuss, look at this time, my grandson should also come back." After Wu Orion finished speaking, he begged again: "County official, you can do well, let me go, my grandson is only six years old, and he can't do it without an adult to take care of him." ”
Wang Xiancheng's face sank: "Legal matters, how can you bargain, if you make a mistake today, you must bear the corresponding consequences, Sanshan, you arrange a Minzhuang to send a message to that Wang Orion, tell him the cause and effect of the matter, let him take care of the little guy first, and now, everyone will escort the widow back to the county office." ”
In response, everyone lifted the stretcher, escorted the widows, and walked back dejectedly, without the heroism and majesty of the time they came.
