Chapter 59: The Coming Man of Jade Shattered City
The mercenaries hired by the caravan were ready to step forward to stop the atrocities of these five or six people. But even after these mercenaries with good skills rushed up, they were whipped all over the ground by the knights on the horse, and they wailed loudly! These mercenaries are no match for others at all!
These five or six people don't know each other, could it be the hooligans and gangsters hired by their peers to find the ballast? Boss Chen was in a hurry, separated the crowd, and quickly walked towards the five or six people, shouting loudly: "Who are you? Why are you beating our caravan guys? Aren't you afraid that Uncle He Jiu from the town will come to clean you up?"
The first knight rolled his eyes, glanced at Boss Chen, and scolded loudly: "You untouchables, quickly get out of the way! My son-in-law is about to come over, and you dare to stand in the way, you are really looking for death!"
At this time, Boss Chen had already run in front of this knight's horse, and was about to stop the rushing horses with his arms outstretched, so as to prevent these men on the horse from continuing to charge his caravan!
The man at the head sneered on the horse, not only did he not restrain the horse, but he suddenly took the reins of the horse, and the horseman stood up under his crotch, his hooves soared into the air, and he stepped on Boss Chen fiercely!
Seeing that the bowl-sized horse's hooves were about to step on Boss Chen's chest.
If he stepped on it, even if Boss Chen didn't die on the spot, he would only have half his life left.
"Stop!"
Seeing that Boss Chen was about to be injured under the horse's hooves, suddenly, there was a loud shout from the side, and then an obese figure rushed over.
I saw that the figure stretched out his hands, and actually held the horse's hooves in his hands. The man holding the horse's hooves was obviously very powerful, and no matter how the horse stepped on its front hooves, he could not get rid of the man's palms, but was caught even more immovable.
Boss Chen, you were already frightened, and you stood there stunned without moving, and the fat figure flew up and kicked him to the side.
Immediately the knight saw that someone was holding his horse's hooves. The whip in his hand shook straight and slammed into the head of the man in front of the horse.
The man in front of him did not dodge, but tilted his head and let the whip draw on his shoulder.
I thought that this person would definitely let out a miserable scream of pain after being whipped by himself.
Unexpectedly, the man just put the horse's hooves down, and then flicked his torn clothes with his hand, and took a step back.
Immediately the knight saw that the man holding his horse's hooves was a tall fat man in his fifties.
At this time, Boss Chen had already woken up, and as soon as he saw this fat man, he immediately rushed to him and cried loudly: "Uncle He Jiu, thank you for saving your old man's life! These people are indiscriminate, and they will kick them around! You see, even the trucks have been overturned by them, you are old, you have to make decisions for us!"
The tall fat man who came was none other than Uncle He Jiu, the biggest official in Beizhen, the tax officer.
Originally, the knight wanted to whip him again, but when he heard Boss Chen call this fat man Uncle He Jiu, he withdrew the whip in his hand, but his eyebrows were wrinkled.
The knight on the horse looked arrogant, pouted and said to Uncle He Jiu: "You are the tax official of this town, He Jiu?"
Uncle He Jiu's fat face was full of anger at this time, and a pair of eyes were like blades, staring at the knight on the horse without answering, and asked: "Yes, I am the tax collector of Beizhen appointed by the empire, who are you?
The knight on the horse raised his hand to stop the subordinates behind him, snorted coldly, and said to Uncle He Jiu: "You are just a little tax collector, and when you see a few people from your grandfather, you actually don't come to clear the way to meet him?
Uncle He Jiu happened to come out for breakfast before, and when he heard that there was a riot here, he was annoyed, Beizhen is the largest place in his own office, and he has always been the last to say!
I don't know which guys who don't open their eyes actually dare to make trouble in the town, so they rushed over angrily.
When he arrived, he happened to see the knight on the horse about to step towards Boss Chen! Seeing that he was about to die, Uncle He Jiu immediately took action and saved Boss Chen first.
At that time, when the knight would whip it off, Uncle He Jiu didn't want to dodge, but the other party's speed was too fast, so he had to use his whole body of horizontal kung fu to take this whip.
After receiving a horse whip, Uncle He Jiu was furious in his heart, and he wanted to open his mouth to scold immediately! But seeing that the knight on this horse was very skilled, he was afraid that there would be some powerful background behind him, so he forcibly suppressed this anger.
But before he could reprimand, the man on the horse spoke first.
But in front of so many caravan guys, Uncle He Jiu didn't want to lose his prestige, so he asked rhetorically.
But unexpectedly, the knight on the horse, after hearing that he revealed his identity as an imperial official, not only did not restrain himself, but became even more arrogant, and what he said did not leave him the slightest affection.
How can Uncle Nine be such a slippery person, he can't guess the identity of this knight for a while, but it looks like it's not small. If you are really a noble person from somewhere, if you are offended, you can't afford to be offended!
Although Beizhen is a border town, this area is the closest place to the northeast, and the northeast is the sphere of influence of the Hundred Cities Alliance.
The Hundred Cities Alliance's sphere of influence is very peculiar, it is long and narrow, and there is a broken part in the middle. From south to north, it is oblique to east and west, and from the map, it looks like a dumbbell placed diagonally, and the middle part of the dumbbell is broken, and the north town happens to be in this disconnected part.
The geographical location of Beizhen is very delicate, due south, is the Burning Sun Empire, due north, is the southern grassland, and to the southwest, is several city-states in the Hundred Cities Alliance, and in the northeast, it is still the territory of the Hundred Cities Alliance.
Due to the special location of Beizhen, sometimes, there are often some big figures of the Hundred Cities Alliance passing by. But these big shots rarely stop in North Town, and they usually pass by, because these big people dislike North Town too much.
Uncle He Jiu has been in Beizhen for a long time, and he is even more accustomed to the wind and waves, although he knows that the man can't be a big man immediately, but who knows where these people come from? and what kind of background do they have?
After weighing the left and right, we should make a plan in our hearts, and we would rather be dwarves than cause unwarranted disasters! It is better to lower our posture first, and wait until we understand where these people are coming from and what forces they have.
If the person on this horse has no background behind him, or is just some small person who can't be on the stage, he is just pretending!
Hmph, after a while, I naturally want these guys to know what will happen to Uncle He Jiu who angers me!
But if it's the other party, is it really a big man from somewhere? I didn't know before, and he can't just because he stopped the horse, he won't let go!
But now Uncle He Jiu looked at the other party's momentum and listened to what the people on the horse said, it seemed that they were just a few characters who opened the way, and what kind of son was there behind them? I was afraid that the other party was really a big man's subordinate! I couldn't help but secretly regret that I was reckless just now, and I was really impatient to make a move, but I was afraid that I had offended the other party now!
It's just a few people who open the way, and they have such skills, so the son who wants to come over for a while must be from a noble family of nobles!
I don't know which incense I burned wrong this morning?
The commotion just now alarmed almost everyone in Beizhen! If you show weakness at this time, you will inevitably let the people in Beizhen look down on you! However, if you continue to pretend to be tough, you are afraid that you will offend the other party, and you will not be able to protect your identity as an imperial official!
What I said and did just now, although I didn't lose face, but I don't know if I have already offended these big people?
But seeing that the person's face had sunk immediately, Uncle He Jiu was worried in his heart and already fearful. At this time, self-protection is important, where do you need those faces?
Thinking of this, Uncle He Jiu's fat face immediately changed, and the previous anger had long since been thrown away?
He bowed down and made a compilation first, and when he raised his head, all the fat on his face was squeezed together, and he accompanied a big smiling face, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know where the adults come from? Let He Jiu make some more arrangements, so as not to neglect the adults." ”
Immediately, the man's nostrils turned to the sky, and he disdainfully "hum!"
"Tell you, grandpa is from Jade Shatter City!"
Jade Shattered City!
Uncle He Jiu was so frightened that his body softened, and he shivered, and his thighs were like cramps, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.
These people turned out to be people from Jade Shatter City!
Uncle He Jiu's body immediately lowered a few points, and he was very careful, "A few adults, please forgive me, the villain didn't know how many big people were here just now, the villain took the liberty of disturbing the adults' horses for a while, and committed the adult's tiger might, it is really a crime that deserves death! I also hope that a few adults, the adults do not remember the villain's mistakes, and forgive the villain's reckless crime......"
"Okay, don't be rambling, quickly disperse these untouchables! After a while, my son-in-law is coming, if the son-in-law sees a group of untouchables blocking his way, hmph, don't say it's you, even a few grandfathers, and you can't afford to bear it!"
"Yes, yes! The villain told the untouchables to get out of the way at once. ”
Immediately, the man pouted impatiently, "Hurry up!"
Uncle He Jiu nodded and agreed, and walked over to Boss Chen.
"Uncle Hejiu, no matter who they are, you have to be the master for me......"
"Boss Chen, go back to the inn immediately, and don't take half a step out of the inn without my orders!"
I thought that Uncle Nine would definitely support himself when he came! When I went to file yesterday, I spent ten taels of silver!
"Uncle He Jiu, they haven't paid ...... yet"
"Smack!"
Uncle He Jiu raised his hand and slapped Boss Chen fiercely.
"Ouch, Uncle He Jiu, you are old, why are you beating me?"
"Damn! Where did you get so much nonsense? Whatever Lao Tzu asks you to do, just do it for Lao Tzu! Hurry up and let all your men go back to the inn! Hurry up! If there is still one person who dares to stand here within ten breaths, Lao Tzu will never let you get out of Beizhen!"
