Hearing the threat of the gambling house thugs, Xiong Min laughed loudly: "This brother, do you want to rely on more and bully less?" ”

"What, dissatisfied?" The thug said with round eyes.

Xiongmin looked up and saw a stick left by an unknown thug at his feet. He lightly kicked the stick with his foot, kicking it less than an inch in front of Xu Rendi's feet. He pointed to the stick and said, "No matter how many of you there are, I tell you, don't step over this stick, or you will ......."

"How else?" The thug who spoke just now was annoyed, he had never seen anyone dare to say the conditions in such a situation, he raised his leg and stepped over the stick with a big grin, and said in his mouth: "I'll step over, you bite me ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yin Guoxian had already taken out a musket from his arms, and without saying a word, he pulled the trigger on the thug's leg.

"Smack!"

I heard a loud bang, and a canopy of scattered bullets flew out of the barrel of Yin Guoxian's gun, hitting the thug's thigh. The firing speed of the flintlock pistol, which has been repeatedly improved by Hao Qing, Xu Guangqi and others, has been greatly improved, and it has a bit of the flavor of modern firearms. Due to the use of steel as the barrel material, the weight of the whole gun is also greatly reduced, and it will not feel inconvenient to carry it in your arms at all. Xiong Minyang is the commander of the firearms department, and his soldiers are originally playing with muskets, and it is not difficult to hit a target within a few steps.

"Whew!" The thug fell down with his leg in his arms, and his trousers were soaked in blood in an instant.

"They've got firecrackers!"

Including Xu Rendi, all the people on the side of the gambling house were shocked. The Ming law strictly prohibits the possession of firearms by the people, and ordinary people dare not hide firearms privately, even if they are strongmen, they are generally not equipped with firearms, because it is very difficult to obtain gunpowder. These people in front of them can actually hide firearms, and they are the people of the government.

"Rush up and kill them!" Xu Rendi was the first to react. He remembered that some people above the people had blown wind on them a few days ago, saying that the imperial court had sent some Su Scholar to investigate Haoqiang's occupation of land, and asked them to be careful not to fall into any tricks. Seeing that these people in front of him took out firearms, Xu Rendi instinctively linked these people with the investigating officials of the imperial court. At this time, it is too late to buy the other party, or compromise with the other party, and the only way is to kill people. As for the rest of the matter, just find a way to settle it.

"Slowly...... Shopkeeper Xu, they have firearms, maybe they are officers and soldiers! "Some thugs are not stupid, and naturally they also think of the extraordinary origin of the other party. These thugs usually dare to play tricks with the people, but they never think of confronting the officers and soldiers. Killing officers and soldiers is a great crime to destroy the door.

"What about the officers and soldiers, they were killed together, who knows?" Xu Rendi said in a low voice. There was also a group of gamblers who had been knocked over, and these gamblers couldn't all be killed, so they couldn't hear this.

"But......" Everyone turned their attention to the unlucky thug who was shot in the leg again, and Yoon Guoxian used a scatter bomb. A total of more than a dozen grains of rice-sized iron sand hit this person's leg, and the blood flowed like an infusion. In front of such a domineering firearm, everyone felt a little frightened.

"There are those who are not afraid of death. Just give it a try. Xiong Minyang said, and also took out two muskets from his arms, plus Liao Yiming and Yin Guoxian. A total of six muskets were aimed at the dozens of thugs, so that everyone did not dare to act rashly.

"It's all waste, raising thousands of soldiers, using soldiers for a while, all of them are given to Lao Tzu, they have a total of six firearms, and we have more than 30 people!" Xu Rendi scolded loudly, but his own figure quietly moved a few steps back, hiding himself behind several thugs.

"Hehe, brothers, your life is your own, and if you lose your life, you won't be able to eat anything." Xiong Min fiddled with the musket in his hand and said to the thugs with a smile. With a weapon in hand, he has no psychological pressure at all. He held the gun and let the muzzle of the gun swim back and forth in front of the thugs' chests, and the gambling house thugs he pointed at the gun subconsciously retreated half a step back. No one wants to use their bodies to block bullets and win meritorious service opportunities for their companions.

"The official is handling the case, and all the people are lying down!"

At this moment, several doors of the gambling house were smashed open, and even the larger windows were kicked open, and the window sash flew out more than a dozen paces away. From those open doors and windows, hundreds of soldiers armed with spears and muskets poured in, and the leader was Zhang Yunlong, the head of the company. Zhang Yunlong raised his eyes and saw that the rest of the gambling house was full of wounded people lying on the ground and groaning, only a group of people in one corner were focused, so he greeted and rushed over with a hundred and ten soldiers, and he could circle half a circle behind the group of gambling house thugs.

"Get down!" The soldiers, armed with spears and muskets, gave orders in unison.

"Ladies and gentlemen, misunderstanding, misunderstanding......" Xu Rendi sweated profusely and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Just now, he still had the idea of killing Xiong Minyang and his party, but now he saw that there were hundreds of officers and soldiers, and they were obviously not the kind of guards who ate and waited for death, where did he dare to resist.

"You don't have fucking ears, tell you to get down!" A soldier from the Survey Battalion flew up and kicked Xu Rendi down. Xu Rendi was about to get up, and he was just halfway up, when he was kicked on the ass again, so he had to lie there obediently.

Seeing that there were many officers and soldiers, the thugs of the gambling house were quite unreasonable, and they had no fighting spirit for a while. Anyway, the boss had already fallen down, and they quickly threw the wooden sticks, and according to the orders of the officers and soldiers, they lay on the ground, and their buttocks pouted half a day high.

"Okay, you can talk now, what's the misunderstanding?" Zhang Yunlong stepped forward with a sly step, stepped on Xu Rendi's back, and said happily.

"Master Jun spares his life, it's really a misunderstanding......" Xu Rendi had tears and snot on his face, and he didn't know how to speak.

"Mr. Qian!" Xiong Minyang took Liao Yiming and Yin Guoxian to step forward and salute Zhang Yunlong. Mo San followed behind them, looking terrified. In his opinion, Xiong Minyang is already a big enough officer, this Zhang Yunlong is bigger than Xiong Minyang's official, can't he be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses?

Zhang Yunlong returned the salute to Xiong Minyang and the others, and asked with a frown: "Mr. Xiong, why did it take so long to send a signal?" I thought you had leaked the word and let people arrest you. ”

It turned out that Xiong Minyang and others came to the casino to provoke, just to create an excuse so that the public opinion survey camp could intervene in the investigation of the casino. When Xiong Minyang and the others entered the casino, Zhang Yunlong and hundreds of soldiers gathered back from all directions had already been ambushed around the gambling house. The two parties agreed that after Xiong Minyang and others got the evidence in the gambling house, they would provoke a brawl and then shoot Jǐng. When Zhang Yunlong heard the gunshots, he led people to rush to the casino to arrest people.

Xiong Minyang never thought that the gamblers who were provoked would be so violent, and he actually fought with the thugs in the gambling house for more than half an hour. Since the two sides are still fighting, Xiong Minyang is naturally not in a hurry to shoot and send a signal, and the people who watch the excitement are always not too lively.

"Mr. Qian, six died, three were thugs in the gambling house, and three were ordinary people who gambled money. There are a few more who can't look at it anymore. There are more than 200 injuries, and I can't count them. A soldier ran over to report to Zhang Yunlong about cleaning up the battlefield.

"Tsk......" Zhang Yunlong frowned again, "Why did you still get a human life?" The death of three people is a disaster. ”

Xiong Min said: "This is what Mr. Lin ordered, saying that the bigger the trouble, the better." ”

The Mr. Lin he said was Li Zhen, because Li Zhen was a prisoner and didn't dare to use his real name, so the army only knew that he was Mr. Lin. Xiong Minyang took Li Zhen's order to make trouble, and Li Zhen did explain to him, saying that he should make as much trouble as possible, and vaguely revealed: It is best to make trouble with people's lives.

"If someone died, how can I explain to Su Shoubei!" Zhang Yunlong muttered.

"It's up to the old man to explain this matter." Li Zhen walked into the gambling house accompanied by Xue Yong.

At this time, Xu Rendi and the gambling house thugs, dealers, and small servants have been locked up, and the gamblers who participated in the brawl have also been locked up in a big room, and there were deaths on the spot, these people are going to be witnesses in the future, and Zhang Yunlong does not dare to let them go easily.

"Mr. Lin, if you want to raid the Xinglong Gambling House, you only need to send troops to seal the door, why bother to make such a fuss? These gambling money are also ordinary people, and they don't deserve to die. Even those dead thugs aren't damn bad, right? Zhang Yunlong said.

"Yes, if this matter is known by Master Su, I am afraid that I will be blamed." Xue Yong also said timidly.

Li Zhen disagreed: "If you become a big thing, you should not be informal, and if you change this person, you are too rigid about the subsections, so it is difficult to become a big thing." Compared with saving hundreds of thousands of Li people in Runing from fire and water, what can a few lives be counted? ”

"But...... Wouldn't it be better not to die? Zhang Yunlong argued that he was born in the guard, and he had never fought a few battles in total, and he could not reach the realm of treating human life as a mustard. If it is replaced by Deng Kui, maybe it will be relieved.

Li Zhen said: "If no one is killed, the intervention of our officers and soldiers will be unknown." Now that six people have died at once, it's a big case, and we just happened to bump into each other, so how can we ignore it? In the future, even if this public case is stabbed to the court, the cabinet will not be able to say that it is an unauthorized power. ”

"Uh...... Well, Mr. has a point. Zhang Yunlong was defeated and retreated, but he still had to muttered in his heart: I have heard people say that Li Zhen is a great Confucian in the world for a long time, but I can't imagine that he is such a ruthless person, is Li Zhen different, or is the great Confucian so black-bellied?

"Lock down the Xinglong Gambling House, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. I searched room by room, and I didn't miss a single piece of paper! Li Zhen murderously gave an order to the soldiers, he must find out the evidence of the Xinglong gambling house in the shortest possible time, and also, he must find the evidence of the collusion between the gambling house and other people, so as to dig out the entire criminal network.
