Chapter 253 Killing the Tiger

On August 16, Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua prepared to return to the Jin capital, but Xie Shenpei was still in Yangzhou City and refused to return.

At the same time, Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua jointly sent a letter to Wang Ding's dignitaries to Huaiyang Dao. And before that, the people sent by Xie Shence to get along with Zhang had already left.

However, on August 16, the three jumpers also returned. So Xie Shence asked him to go to Jindu together.

Out of Yangzhou City, at a post station, the three jumpers reported to Xie Shence the news that all the descendants of the four surnames of Yangquan had been cleared, and then asked Xie Shence for his guilt.

"Childe, when we surrounded and suppressed the Zheng family's stronghold, we missed a person. Tiqi searched for a long time, but he didn't find it, and it was likely that he ...... Zheng Keming already knows the news of Zheng Xunren's death in our hands. ”

The three jumpers knelt on the ground, very remorseful and guilty.

"I shouldn't have caught it alive if I knew it!"

Xie Shence was writing a letter, and when he heard the words of the three jumpers, he put down the pen in his hand, and then tapped his fingers on the table, and was silent.

After thinking for a while, Xie Shence smiled and said, "It's nothing." Anyway, he has to know sooner or later, and it doesn't matter if he knows in advance, just ...... It can also be used by me. ”

Seeing a cold light flashing in Xie Shence's eyes, Sanbozi couldn't help but tremble.

Three days later, the group arrived at the ferry port on the north bank of the Yellow River.

The south bank is Mengjindu, the Yellow River at this time is not very yellow, at least not a bowl of water and half a bowl of sand, and the fishery in some places is still very developed.

In August, the osmanthus flowers are fragrant, and the red maple is like fire, Xie Shence looked at the autumn scenery of the mountain, and intended to show off his literary brilliance in front of Wang Jiehua, but after thinking about all the accumulation, he found that he had no suitable situation in his mind. suddenly held back a sentence "The mountains are red all over the forest", and found that the next sentence could not be connected at all.

That's the Yangtze River Orange Island.

The river is clear and clear, and hundreds of boats compete for the stream.

Where does the Yellow River come from?

Wang Jiehua covered her mouth and smiled silently, thanking Shence for losing face as the boss, and she was very unhappy.

When boarding the boat at the ferry, Xie Shence's wave of people was very conspicuous.

Because he went back to his hometown to visit relatives after marriage, and because it was a private matter, Xie Shence did not put on the posture of the commander of the Tiqi Division. In addition to the guards around him who were more powerful, carrying long and narrow straight knives, and a few of them were carrying bows, that is, there were more people. Some of the women were prettier.

The number of people is the most conspicuous.

Moreover, although several women are veiled, the grace of their figures and the atmosphere of their manners are not something that ordinary merchants can have.

It has attracted a lot of attention.

Xie Shence asked the guards to take the people to the other side of the ferry, and not to line up with other people.

The people in line are either the common people or the common people, at most the rich people, but all the local gentry, even if they are not in the stream, are all available with patents and do not compete with the people. In that case, let alone thanking God?

It's just that the ship hasn't come yet, and Xie Shence is not in a hurry. At this time, he stood at the ferry, which was equivalent to the passage for feeding Ayi in later generations, and told Wang Jiehua a story. What mermaid teardrops, snail girls and the like.

Of course, the place where these stories took place is the opposite Mengjindu.

"Once upon a time in Mengjindu, there was a merman who swam from the East China Sea......."

"How could the mermaids of the East China Sea swim to Mengjin?"

"Don't interrupt, listen to me. Someday...... The merman meets a man and helps him ...... I got my daughter-in-law...... The man heard that the merman's tears were valuable...... Invite the mermaids to the feast...... In the end, the merman died. ”

"It's not good, it's not good! What a mess. ”

"And another snail girl?"

"Tell me about it."

"Once upon a time, in Mengjindu, there was a snail ......"

"Why is it Meng Jindu again?"

"We're at Mengjin North Ferry, isn't Mengjin where is it? ...... The young man and the snail girl are wrapped in a happy and happy life. ”

"This one isn't bad...... Hey? Who's coming? ”

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and several horsemen rushed to the Yellow River, and then dozens of men with big knives followed and rushed over.

At this time, several black dots appeared on the opposite side of the river, and then immediately after, more black dots appeared.

The people waiting for the boat at the ferry cheered, grabbed the package and ran to the ferry, but after seeing the appearance of the boat clearly, they all slowly carried the package back.

It's not their ship, it's thanksgiving.

At this time, a gust of wind rose. Wind down the river.

Just rushed to the river to count the horses, a horse stepped forward and came to a place not far from Xie Shence and his party.

"This son, I and the others are from the Mengjin County Yamen opposite, and we were ordered to rush back to the county government in a hurry, and I dare to ask if it is the son's boat that came from the other side?"

Xie Shence smiled.

The three jumpers replied loudly: "We can't take it." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little annoyance: "We are a public servant, and we want to borrow your boat for use, and I hope that the son will be generous!" In the future, if there is a useful place, we will not hesitate! If not......"

"How else? Do you dare to kill me? In broad daylight, do you dare to forcibly requisition civilian ships when you wait for officials? ”

The man's eyes flashed with a hint of murder, and he didn't reply, so he turned his horse's head and went back.

At this time, Xie Shence asked the three jumpers to prepare to move the boxes on the carriage, and when the opposite boat came, they could board the boat directly.

Kankan put the boxes in place, and I didn't think that the few people who were riding horses just now really came.

"It's the bandits of Taihang Mountain over there! The boxes they were carrying were looted money! Wait for the people to disperse quickly! Those who dare to obstruct official business will be punished as a thief! ”

The people were shocked, and Tim and her daughter hurriedly scattered away.

The ruthlessness of the Taihang Mountain bandits, Shanxi Road, Hebei Road, Henan Road everyone knows, as soon as I heard a public say that the rich son and his party opposite are Taihang Mountain bandits, they hurriedly made birds and beasts.

The corners of Xie Shence's mouth curled slightly.

"Kill!"

The leader on the opposite side shouted loudly, urging the war horse, and more than forty people behind him also followed.

It turned out to be really a knife to kill people without saying a word.

Wang Jiehua's face turned cold.

Even the notorious salt lord of Huaiyang Road did not dare to kill people in public.

Especially in this case, just because he refused to borrow a boat, he framed the blame for being a thief, and he didn't give him the slightest chance to distinguish.

"Is this how I enforce the law?"

Xie Shence smiled at Wang Jiehua, who had a frosty face, and said, "It's nothing, it's all prepared." If I hadn't even asked, I guess I'd have killed me directly......"

"What did you say?" Wang Jiehua was puzzled.

Xie Shence helped Wang Jiehua and said, "It's nothing." You and Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Ye'er go to the carriage. Don't come out. ”

Xie Shence took a few balls of cotton from the guards beside him and stuffed them into Wang Jiehua's hands, and said, "After you go in, plug your ears." ”

Wang Jiehua was stunned for a moment, then smiled, nodded obediently, and got into the carriage with the two little maidservants.

At this time, the guards of the Xie family also set up a position. The box that unloaded the cart just now happened to be a cover.

The horses galloped, and Xie Shence could clearly see the angry expressions of the people on horseback, and could feel the sharpness of the war knives in their hands.

The enemy rushed over from that side, and Xie Shence and the others were fighting on their backs. Less than a hundred and fifty feet away, the horses sprinted, and in an instant, they were in front of them.

Several feathered arrows shot out, one of the five horses was hit by the arrow, and the rest of the feathered arrows were shot down.

Not a yamen official. Thank you for your decision.

If ordinary officials of the Great Jin Dynasty can have this quality, then how strong is the combat effectiveness of the Great Jin army? It has long been ruled over the world.

Comparable to elite cavalry. It was the one who was hit by the arrow, and the arrow did not penetrate deep into the flesh, the man just moved his hand, and the straight knife cut off a large section, and the rest did not affect the action at all.

A few feathered arrows could not stop the progress of the five horses.

So one of the guards took out a few small black balls from the straw inside the box.

The ignition, the "snort" of the lead burned, and the pungent white smoke came out.

Several people threw the bomb out, then hurriedly covered their ears and hid behind the box.

"Boom!" "Boom, boom!"

Loud sounds rang out one after another, the ground shook continuously, and the eardrum hurt.

The horses neighed and fell to the ground, and several riders were seriously injured.

Half of the people who ran and charged behind were already lying on the ground, a small number of people were injured, and the people behind were terrified, trembling and almost kneeling.

In fact, the people who had not yet gone far had already knelt down, kept kowtowing, and then prayed.

The groans of the wounded were intertwined with the astonishing bewilderment.

"Demons, demons!"

I don't know who shouted first.

Then the cries of horror overshadowed the groans of pain.

"They're demons! They're using demon magic! ”

"They used demon magic to hurt Leader Lai! Kill them and avenge the leader! ”

"Black dog blood! Come and destroy the demon spell with black dog blood! ”

"Fuck you, there's no black dog blood, who has a child's pee! On the boy! ”

“......”

"Ignorant soil buns......" Xie Shence pursed his mouth boredly.

Fortunately, there was no black dog blood and dung, and no one on the other side was a child, even if there was a child, it is estimated that the holy water that broke the law had been splashed when the bomb sounded just now. Otherwise, what if they all splash over?

Twelve guards took out small round shields from the box and stepped forward, and then someone took out a large knife. Someone else took out two wooden poles, put them together, and attached them to the head of the spear, and it became a spear.

"Kill."

Xie Shence lightly issued an order.

He didn't hear the shouting of the group of people sixty or seventy steps away just now, but there was one sentence very clear, that is, "Leader Lai".

Leader Lai...... If Xie Shence is not mistaken, in the Handan tragedy that year, there was a pair of bandit brothers who were very famous and called the Lai brothers.

If nothing else, Xie Shence was sure that among the five people who struggled in the more than 30 steps ahead, there should be one of the brothers of the Lai family.

Taihang Mountain bandits, how bold they are...... Xie Shence pulled out a piece of warm iron from the box, rubbing his fingers, feeling the temperature after the explosion, and thought so.

Ordered the others to guard Wang Jiehua's carriage, and then stepped forward with his sword.

Xiao San formed a formation, surrounded the five people who were struggling, and killed three people in a blink of an eye, leaving only two people dying and struggling. Xie Shence motioned for them to continue to step forward, because the more than forty bandits in front of them also shouted and pounced.

In the end, it was the elite, no more than the rabble of Yangquan, who were not frightened, but were aroused and rushed up.

Xie Shence stepped forward and faced the two of them.

"Who's Lai?" Xie Shence asked lightly.

"Your grandfather is!"

A sturdy man covered in blood roared, raising his knife and pounced. Those who followed him followed.

Xie Shence's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pulled out the Han knife while running, and slashed it down in the head.

The dust was rolling, and the twelve groups of junior talents faced more than forty elite bandits.

The bandit set aside Xie Shence's knife and retreated, and the thief behind immediately pounced and slashed down.

Xie Shence stepped back, kicked the ground, bullied forward, and stabbed forward with his sword while both of them were not alive.

The two hurriedly avoided it, and Xie Shence was unforgiving with a sword, and he forced the two of them to retreat again and again.

"Hah!" Xie Shence slashed out diagonally, and the man who said that his surname was Lai raised the ghost-headed knife to greet him.

With a "dang" sound, the ghost head knife was broken in two, and the man's right hand fell to the ground at the same time.

Blood gushed out.

"Ahh Xie Shence stabbed the man in the chest.

The wrist twisted, and the knife was drawn while crushing the man's heart, and Xie Shence kicked the limp body far away.

The man who had been forced to retreat to the side by Xie Shence was stunned.

"Lao Tzu killed you!"

"Your last name is Lai, isn't it? He lied to me. ”

Xie Shence turned around and dodged a knife, flashed to the side and asked.

"Lao Tzu is the sick insect Lai Chang! If you kill my brother, if you fight to die today, Lao Tzu will kill you too!"

"Do you know who I am?"

Lai Chang, the big insect, was stunned.

"Whoever you are!" Lai Chang stepped forward with his knife and yelled at Xie Shence.

Xie Shence shook his head slightly.

Sick bugs?

You are a good man in Liangshan. The bandits of Taihang Mountain, the old nest does not have 800 miles of water.

I don't even know who I am, young master, so I dare to kill people...... How much commission is given to you, you dare to work for him.

There are a hundred taels...... Is it gold?

Xie Shence despised the intelligence of this gang of bandits.

But that's not surprising. The bandits' previous grain was cut off with 2,000 stones.

This is the credit of Xu Luwei and the three jumpers.

Not enough food, so you took on the killer's job?

can bring so many people and get so many soapy clothes, and it has always been either a person who harms the government, or has colluded with the government.

At the moment when the sick insect Lai Chang pounced, Xie Shence thought a lot.

An angry and wounded tiger will not survive in the face of a calm hunter. This point, the tiger who was angered by Xie Shence back then, and was later disemboweled by Xie Shenwei, is the best proof.

Thank God for blocking at will. The harder Lai Chang worked, the more angry he was, the faster the blood was lost, and the faster his strength was lost. It became easier and easier to thank God for killing him.

Taking advantage of this time, Xie Shence glanced at the battlefield over there.

There were almost no casualties in the twelve groups of small three talent formations, and most of the more than forty elite bandits had been killed or wounded, and they were surrounded by thirty-six people.

There is no suspense.

Xie Shence didn't delay, blocked Lai Chang's ghost head knife, instantly raised his foot, hit the chest, kicked Lai Chang upside down and flew out, and when Lai Chang raised his head, he cut off Lai Chang's head with a neat knife.

A thief is a thief, and before he starts, he has to shout a few times "I'm an official" to find a reason to fight again...... Won't you attack directly by surprise? In the end, it is perverted vanity that is the addiction of officials to oppress the good......

The blade rubbed against the corpse, wiping most of the blood off it, and Xie Shence walked back. As he walked back past the three bandits who had been killed by the guards, he picked up the scabbard and thanked Shence for not forgetting to confirm their lives and deaths.

Swing a knife to cut the throat. Xie Shence doesn't need to be captured.

Don't say that Xie Shence's methods are too cruel.

It's just that Xie Shence has always thought that only an enemy who is dead is a good enemy. This is a lesson learned from the lives of the soldiers of the Huai Army when the salt barons were killed back then.

Anyway, they came to kill me, and since they failed, let's die.

Back at the side of the carriage, Xie Shence handed the Han sword to the guard, and then whispered to the three jumpers to bring a clean coat to change into.

The ship had already reached the shore, and the battle was not yet over, so twenty guards with bows and crossbows disembarked from the ship and quickly approached the warband. Xie Gang jumped off the boat and saluted Xie Shence.

"It's a little late. Well, because it's windy. The fourth brother looks at it, don't live it. ”

Xie Gang bowed his head and bowed his hand.

"I'm back." Xie Shence knocked on the carriage door, and when the bolt in the car was removed, Xie Shence pushed the door and got into the car.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

As soon as she got into the car, Wang Jiehua grabbed Xie Shence's hands and looked at Xie Shence nervously.

Xie Shence smiled slightly.

"I'm fine. You can see that I don't have any blood on my body, so I must not be injured. Xie Shence generously stretched out his arms and let Wang Jiehua check.

Wang Jiehua smiled slightly, but then her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"The coat you just wore...... Not this one. Take it off, I want to see if you have any injuries to hide from me. ”

Thank you for being speechless, it was self-defeating.

In desperation, Xie Shence had no choice but to take off the coat he had just put on.

"Huh......" Wang Jiehua exhaled and glanced at Xie Shence.

After a while, Xie Gang said outside the car: "Little Hou Ye, it has all been solved." ”

Xie Shence got out of the car, and then let Wang Jiehua and the two maidservants get on the boat.

"Pass the head, pass the head in the place where the bandits of Baiyan Mountain often haunt. There is also the vigilance of Yangzhou City, and then add manpower, especially on the old mansion, I want to be foolproof. ”

Xie Gang nodded and said, "With my father-in-law over there, it must be thoughtful, and I will send more people." ”

Xie Gang's father-in-law is the chief housekeeper of the Xie family, and now he is the chief housekeeper who is following the old lady to retire in Yangzhou City.

The group then crossed the Yellow River and arrived at Mengjindu.

After that, there were no twists and turns along the way, and Xie Shence Wang Xie Hua returned to Jindu on August 21.

This time back in Jindu, Xie Shence obviously felt a different atmosphere.

After the end of the court meeting the next day, when he and Wang Jiehua were playing on the bank of the Huangjing River, they "happened" to see the carriage of Zheng Keming, the secretary of the ministry.

Xie Shence asked Wang Jiehua to wait for him on the boat.

"Lord Zheng, don't come unharmed." Xie Shence stopped the carriage and looked at Zheng Keming, who lifted the curtain, and said.

Zheng Keming's face changed several times, and then he arched his hand and said expressionlessly: "Lord Admiral, don't come unharmed." ”

"Uh-huh, unharmed. Almost didn't die in Yangquan. ”

Zheng Keming's face suddenly turned red.

"Don't be too happy, Lord Admiral...... After Zheng, more people will stand up. ”

"Hehe, Lord Shangshu is serious. Look at the four surnames of Yangquan, after they died, did anyone wake up? Guanlong, Shandong, who stood up? and they all lay on the ground and divided the spoils. ”

"Huh." Zheng Keming suddenly smiled: "The people of Huaiyang Dao are indeed lying on their stomachs, but they are not sharing the spoils. ”

Xie Shence's eyes froze, and he understood what Zheng Keming meant.

"Zheng Shangshu, your Zheng family, I promise that you will be removed from the Great Jin Family Directory. Moreover, they will be reviled for eternity. ”

"You're angry."

"Well, you're angry too."

......

Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua, who returned to the boat, continued to laugh and swim the river, as if nothing had happened.

In a restaurant in Huangjing River, a tall figure wearing a mask looked over the railing, watched Xie Shence go ashore, said a few words next to a carriage, and watched Xie Shence's boat slowly move away.

(PS: It's just a chapter tonight...... Changing clothes after the killing, a very heartwarming scene. I like it, I don't know what you guys think. If you think it's cool, collect it~ Well, I'm on the Chinese network. )
