Chapter 417: No Military Discipline
There are really a lot of teahouses in Wanfang City, Lin Haotian and the generals just left the city lord's mansion, and they saw a very large teahouse not far from the diagonal opposite, Lin Haotian pointed over there and said with a smile: "Let's go there!"
Without waiting for Lin Haotian and the others to walk over, the guards first rushed forward and surrounded the teahouse, and then more than a dozen guards rushed in, with a noise, it didn't take long for a large number of people from the Red Kingdom to run out of it, not daring to stop for a moment, and disappeared on the street in the blink of an eye.
Then Shao Lin went to the teahouse to inspect again, confirmed that there was no problem, and then returned to Lin Haotian.
The teahouse is quite clean, but the tables and chairs are very old and look down. Seeing these many Jin troops rushing in, the shopkeeper and the guys in the teahouse were stunned, trembling and standing against the wall, not daring to breathe.
After Lin Haotian came in, he took a lot of circles, and then walked to the table in the center and sat down. The rest of the golden generals also found their seats and sat down one after another.
Lin Haotian raised his eyes and looked at the master, beckoning to him. He didn't wear a military uniform, but he was also wearing a military uniform, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to go over when he saw him calling himself.
At this time, two guards stepped forward, and without saying anything, one of them grabbed one of his arms and dragged him to Lin Haotian.
"The general spares his life, the general spares his life!" the shopkeeper knelt on the ground, snot and tears flowed out together.
"Don't be afraid, we are not man-eating tigers!" Lin Haotian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then said, "Let your buddy serve us some herbal tea to escape the heat." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a while before he reacted, hurriedly got up from the ground, turned around and shouted: "Serve tea, quickly serve tea to the generals, what are you still doing in a daze?" As he spoke, he said to Lin Haotian: "Guys have never seen the world. I'm going to urge ......"
"No need. Lin Haotian waved his hand, pointed to the vacant seat next to him, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, sit down and talk." ”
The shopkeeper of the teahouse grinned secretly, but he didn't dare to disobey and sat beside Lin Haotian tremblingly. Say it's sitting. In fact, his whole expression was stiff, similar to kneeling there. Lin Haotian waited for the tea, and asked casually, "Your business here is good?"
When the Jin army guards rushed in just now, there were quite a few tea customers who drove away, and there were dozens of people. The shopkeeper nodded again and again, and stammered: "Little ...... Small business, mixed food. ”
Lin Haotian changed his words and asked again, "What is the name of the city lord of this city?"
"It's Lord Fang and Lord Fang!" replied the shopkeeper truthfully.
"Where is he now?" Lin Haotian asked with a smile.
"The lord of the city has already run away, and I don't know where the lord of the city is......" he didn't finish his words. The guards around the station also raised their sabers one after another.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper was so frightened that he used his knees as feet, rubbed two steps back, and kowtowed repeatedly, his voice changed, and he shouted: "What the villain said is true, I really don't know where the city lord has gone!"
Lin Haotian was happy. smiled: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm just asking." "Talking. He looked up and looked disapprenantly at the guards on his left and right.
Everyone put away their knives one after another, bowed their heads and took half a step back.
Soon, the shop guy delivered the tea one by one. Without waiting for Lin Haotian to drink it first, Shao Lin quickly took out the silver needle, first tested whether the tea was poisonous, and then let the guards taste it. confirmed that it was non-toxic and drug-free, and then helped Lin Haotian pour full of tea.
Lin Haotian took a sip and almost squirted it out on the spot, the tea was bitter and astringent, which was difficult to swallow. However, he also understands that herbal tea to escape the heat does not taste much better. He swallowed the tea and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, since the city lords have run away, why don't you run?"
The shopkeeper cautiously replied, "There are no more soldiers in the city, and there will be no more wars, so ...... So the people of the city didn't run away......"
"But there were not many people in sight on the streets. Lin Haotian shrugged while drinking tea and said.
"The wind and sand are too strong these days, and everyone tries to avoid going out. ”
"Oh, I see. Lin Haotian felt the same way, and muttered in a low voice: "This damn weather." As he spoke, he drank the remaining half bowl of tea.
It can be seen that Lin Haotian should be the head of these Jin Army, seeing that his tea bowl was empty, the shopkeeper took the initiative to pour tea for him, but before his hand touched the teapot, he was slapped open by Shao Lin, who glared at him coldly, and then lifted the teapot and poured Lin Haotian's tea bowl full.
Lin Haotian asked indifferently: "Anqiu is backward and isolated, and the weather is very bad, have you never considered moving to other counties?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said: "The climate here is a little worse, but our ancestors have lived here for generations, and we have long been used to it, and we are reluctant to leave, and Anqiu was not so depressed before, we are very close to Muguo, and the caravans of the two countries often pass by Anqiu, but in recent decades, Anqiu bandits have become plagued, and the caravan gradually did not dare to go from Anqiu, and would rather take a detour to Surabaya." ”
"Banditry?" Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is the government unwilling to send troops to encircle and suppress?"
"The government has sent troops. The shopkeeper said helplessly: "I have encircled and suppressed several times before, but it was unsuccessful, and the imperial court refused to use the central army, so the matter of bandits has been dragged down." ”
"Oh!" Lin Haotian nodded and said, "If the bandits are eliminated, Anqiu will be much more prosperous, right?"
"Of course, if there are no bandits, there will be a large influx of caravans, and the villain's teahouse business can be much stronger than now!" Seeing that Lin Haotian's attitude has always been very easy-going, the shopkeeper's courage has gradually increased, and his speech is much smoother than just now.
Lin Haotian said proudly: "My Dajin is on the order of the king to crusade against rebellion, and this time I pass by Anqiu, and I should also contribute to the people of Anqiu!"
"The general wants to help Anqiu suppress the bandits?" The shopkeeper was surprised and delighted, and looked at Lin Haotian with wide eyes.
Lin Haotian nodded, smiled and said: "It's just a gesture! What's more, the people of Baoanqiu live and work in peace and contentment is also the responsibility of our Jin Army!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden chaos in the backyard of the teahouse, and before people could figure out what was going on, a shopkeeper rushed in from the back in a panic and ran towards Lin Haotian.
Before he could get closer, the guards around him had already struck first, knocking him to the ground.
The shopkeeper's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted to Lin Haotian: "General, it's my shopmate." ”
Lin Haotian waved his hand to the guards and told them to retreat.
The shopkeeper got up from the ground tremblingly, endured the pain in his body, and cried to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, there is a Jin army rushing into the backyard to be rude to the proprietress and the young lady!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was shocked and horrified, and shouted to Lin Haotian: "General, you are ......"
Lin Haotian also frowned secretly, when he entered the city, he had already confessed, he didn't slaughter the city, didn't hurt the people, didn't plunder money, how could this kind of thing not be stopped, and it was still under his nose. He shouted in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "Shao Lin!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Go see what's going on. ”
"Yes!"
Shao Lin agreed, and strode towards the backyard.
The shopkeeper couldn't sit still, he didn't know what the situation was in the backyard, he was so anxious that he got up, looked at Lin Haotian, and said tremblingly: "General......"
Lin Haotian didn't say anything, just waved his hand in annoyance. The shopkeeper stood up with a sigh of relief and rushed to the backyard as fast as he could.
Instead of stopping, the noise in the backyard grew louder and louder, and after a while, screams could be heard.
Lin Haotian's brows were about to turn into a pimple, he slapped the tea bowl in his hand on the table, got up on the desk, and walked to the backyard to see what was going on.
When he got out of the back door of the teahouse, he went outside to take a look, okay! There were several corpses lying on the ground of the courtyard, all of them were guys from the teahouse, and more than 20 Jin army guards stood on both sides, and the steel knives in the hands of several of them were still dripping with blood.
Seeing Lin Haotian come out, all the guards trembled, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said in unison: "My lord!"
Lin Haotian's face was gloomy and he didn't ask questions, raised his eyes to look at the back room opposite, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.
As soon as he entered the room, the smell of blood came to his nose, and the shopkeeper who had asked and answered him just now had fallen in a pool of blood, and the merciless knife almost cut off half of his neck, and blood was spurting down the wound.
Looking inside, there was Shao Lin, as well as several disheveled Jin Army guards, on the bed, there was a naked woman lying horizontally, her white body was blue and purple, her round eyes were looking at the roof of the shed blankly, she didn't blink, obviously out of breath. Next to the corpse, there was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, whose clothes had been torn and torn, curled up in a corner.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" Lin Haotian's eyes erupted with fire, and his lungs were about to explode. (To be continued......)
