Chapter 61: Confrontation
Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw an obese middle-aged man running over while lifting his pants, he was Jia Hu, the inspector of the Ningshui Town Inspection Division. The fastest and most stable update is to see the latest chapter of Perfect World.
Jia Hu was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms just now, and coldly heard someone shouting that the water bandits were coming, he was startled at first, and then reacted, there must have been someone who was drunk at night with too much horse urine, and lied about the military situation there, so he came to check in anger.
Although Ningshui Town is not as prosperous as Baishui Town, it is the best town in Wuning County because of the wharf, and several famous big families in the county are in the town, and the family power is relatively strong, plus the Ningshui Town Inspection Department is stationed here, so there have been no water bandits to loot in the town over the years.
When he saw Chen Ningning, Zhou Yuting and the red-clothed girl ring in the courtyard, Jia Hu's eyes suddenly lit up, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, and she appeared in this place in the middle of the night, could it be the new kiln sister in which kiln?
With the consumption power of those sergeants in the Ningshui Town Inspection Division, the ** in the town must not be able to afford to go, so they can only go to the kiln.
But the next moment, Jia Hu was slightly stunned, and he saw that there were several tall and burly men guarding Chen Ningning's three people, who were obviously not his subordinates.
"My lord, but Jia Patrol?" Seeing Jia Hu coming, Chen Ningning hurriedly greeted him and asked in a coquettish voice.
"It's this official, Miss is ......" Jia Hu looked at Chen Ningning with some surprise, as if he had never seen the beautiful and moving young lady in front of him in his impression.
"The concubine is the concubine Chen of Hukou County, and there is a group of water bandits who robbed the inn where the concubine lived, this group of water bandits is extremely vicious, please prepare as soon as possible." Chen Ningning said quietly, deliberately concealing the fact that the water bandits were coming at her this time.
Although the group of attackers did not identify themselves, the only people who dared to do this in the waters of Poyang Lake were definitely water bandits, and the short-haired woman was still clamoring to leave Chen Ningning alone at the mouth of the lake, so it was clear that she wanted to arrest her, but she was desperately blocked by the sergeants of the Baishui Town Inspection Division who pretended to be the attendants of the Chen family.
Now what makes Chen Ningning feel unfortunate is that the bandits who came to attack obviously don't know Zhou Yuting's identity, otherwise the short-haired woman would definitely have to arrest Zhou Yuting.
Don't look at the people in Hukou County who call Chen Ningning Mrs., but in front of outsiders, she still has to call herself a "concubine", otherwise it would be a violation of etiquette, because Mrs. is the title of a wife, and there is a difference between the concubines.
"It turned out to be Mrs. Chen, and the official was far away."
Jia Hu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he never expected that the person in front of him was the young lady of the Chen family in Baishui Town who married Li Yuntian as a concubine, and hurriedly tidied up the clothes on his body, arched his hand to Chen Ningning, and said disapprerovingly, "Mrs. Chen, please rest assured, those water bandits dare not come here, you stay here for the time being, and this official will send you away tomorrow."
Due to the Zhang's case in Hukou County, Li Yuntian has now become a celebrity in Jiangxi officialdom, and no one thought that he would be able to uproot the Zhang family, which is entrenched in Hukou County, and control the situation in Hukou County in one fell swoop.
Moreover, the county magistrate of De'an County and the county magistrate of Pengze County, who had cooperated with him, both gained fame and fortune in the cooperation, and they were full of praise for him, so it has begun to be rumored in the officialdom that he is a lucky general.
The officialdom is strictly hierarchical, and the identity and status gap between Jia Hu and Li Yuntian is very far away, so in the face of Chen Ningning, he still has to call him "Mrs."
"My lord, please prepare quickly, those water bandits may follow the concubine and others." Chen Ningning saw that Jia Hu was not in a hurry at all, so she reminded him in a coquettish voice.
Not only did the short-haired woman hear the barking of vicious dogs in the houses on both sides of the street, but Chen Ningning also heard it, which undoubtedly exposed their whereabouts and pointed out the direction to the short-haired woman, and the short-haired woman would definitely chase after her.
"They dare to come to the Inspection Division?" Jia Hu was taken aback, and looked at Chen Ningning with some astonishment, if that was the case, it would be a huge provocation to the Ningshui Town Inspection Division.
"My lord, do you hear the dog barking?" Chen Ningning nodded, looked up at the direction of the street when she came, and saw the sound of dogs barking from far and near, obviously someone was coming to the inspection department.
"Quick, open the storeroom, take the bow and arrows, the shield!" Jia Hu's face suddenly changed, he never expected that those water bandits would be so bold, chasing and killing Chen Ningning and others all the way, and then shouted loudly.
When a group of sergeants of the Inspection Division heard this, they immediately rushed to the storeroom and took out the bows, arrows, shields and other weapons inside, and even a layer of dust fell on them, which seemed to have been useless for a long time.
"Queue, queue!" When the sergeants took their bows, arrows and shields, Jia Hu commanded anxiously, and asked the sergeants on the scene to set up a formation to face the battle, regardless of whether those bandits dared to break into the gate of the inspection department or not, they were prepared.
The sergeants at the scene were clamoring to find their seats there, the scene was very chaotic, Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting frowned, and they didn't know how the Ningshui Town Inspection Division trained on weekdays.
Just after the sergeants in the courtyard lined up, the gate of the inspection department was knocked down with a bang, and the short-haired woman led a group of big men to break in murderously.
"You are so bold, but you know that this is a military camp, and trespassers will not be spared!" Seeing this, Jia Hu's face suddenly turned pale, he never expected that these bandits would be so arrogant and dare to break into the inspection department, so he shouted inwardly.
"Grandma, as long as that little girl, you give her to me, and we will leave immediately." The short-haired woman stopped, stretched out her hand and pointed at Chen Ningning, who was standing beside Jia Hu, and said loudly.
"Do you know who she is? If she moves, not only will the magistrate of Hukou County not be able to spare you, but the Chen family in Baishui Town will not let you go. ”
Jia Hu was stunned when he heard this, he thought at first that the short-haired woman had come to Ningshui Town to rob, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, as if he has a personal grudge with Chen Ningning, and after looking at Chen Ningning with a cold expression in surprise, he pretended to be calm and said to the short-haired woman, wanting her to retreat.
"Grandma is here for her this time." The short-haired woman sneered and looked at Chen Ningning viciously, "Grandma will pick your skin, pull your tendons, and drink your blood to eliminate the hatred in my heart." ”
"Miss Ben has no grudge against you, why are you so vicious?" Chen Ningning frowned, and looked at the short-haired woman with a frosty mask.
"Grandma will let you die, grandma is the third master's sister-in-law, the dog in Hukou County not only killed my aunt's husband, but also arrested my aunt's brother, how can my aunt and grandmother let you go?" The short-haired woman gritted her teeth and looked at Chen Ningning, her face became a little hideous, she was Wang San's sister Wang.
Hearing this, Jia Hu was immediately shocked, Wang San was respectfully called the "third master" among the water bandits in Poyang Lake, and he thought that the power of Wang San and his gang had been wiped out by Li Yuntian, but he didn't expect that there were still fish that slipped through the net, and he was also the third leader of Wang San's gang of water bandits.
Wang's ability to sit in the top position of the third leader is not by virtue of Wang San's nepotism, but by relying on shrewd minds and ruthless means.
Chen Ningning's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of surprise, no wonder the Wang family looked like a cool hatred with herself, it turned out that she was Wang San's sister, and her family members other than her were either killed or arrested, and Li Yuntian could be said to have a deep blood feud.
"Grandma only needs that slut this time, if you insist on meddling in your affairs, don't blame the knife in your aunt's hand for being ruthless." Wang stretched out his hand to wipe the blade of the knife in his hand, and threatened the sergeants of the Inspection Division with a murderous face.
At the same time, the big men who followed behind Wang raised their weapons one after another and put on an attacking posture.
The sergeants at the scene couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, and they all showed fear, the reason why they were in the inspection department, some of them were serving the county government's conscription, and some were eating together, and no one wanted to fight with the fierce bandits in front of them.
Cold sweat suddenly flowed down Jia Hu's face, as the inspector of the Ningshui Town Inspection Division, of course he knew the pounds and pounds of these people under him.
Don't look at the fact that there are only fifty or sixty people around the Wang family, and there are more than 200 people on the side of the inspection department, the art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, so the morale of this rabble in the inspection department is gone before they start fighting, how can they be the opponents of those water bandits of the Wang family.
In case the sergeant of the inspection department collapsed at the touch of the impact of the water bandits, then his responsibility will be great, according to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, those who escape from the battle will be immediately killed, and last year Li Yuntian also took Zhao Hua's pigtail, which scared Zhao Hua's soul and did not possess his body.
It is worth mentioning that fleeing from battle is different from fleeing from defeat and defeat, fleeing from battle is to slip away without engaging with the enemy or to collapse at the touch of a button, while fleeing from defeat is to withdraw after fighting and defeat, and there is an essential difference between the two.
To tell the truth, if in other places, those sergeants of the Inspection Division ran away when they faced the water bandits, who could know if they fled in battle or in defeat.
But this is the station of the Inspection Division, whether it is to escape from the battle or to escape in defeat, then it is undoubtedly a great shame for the government, and Jia Hu, who is the inspector of the Inspection Department, will be unable to escape the blame and will definitely die.
"Listen, brethren, the barracks are important military places, and if they are allowed to do anything here, they will all be severely punished." Jia Hu didn't have time to think about it, he brushed out his waist knife, and shouted at the sergeant at the scene, "The dead will be rewarded, and those who escape from the battle will be killed!" ”
When the sergeants heard this, there was a commotion, and after looking at each other for a while, they did not muster up their morale, but looked even more flustered.
Chen Ningning couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this, it seems that although Jia Hu is the inspector of the Inspection Department, he does not have any prestige in the Inspection Department and cannot control the current situation.
"Listen to me, now is the time for us to serve the court, and the eldest husband should sacrifice his life for righteousness, so that he will not be in vain in the next world!" Zhou Yuting also noticed that the morale of the sergeants in the inspection department was low, and she wanted to boost the morale of everyone, so she raised the long sword in her hand and said impassionedly.
Unfortunately, her words also did not have the slightest effect, and the sergeants turned a deaf ear to her words, and just looked at the short-haired woman and other water bandits in fear.
