Chapter 140: The Hanging Sword Division has always been the same
In the Hanging Sword Division, everyone holds a sword given by the Emperor.
The sword of the government soldier is the lowest, just an ordinary iron hilt.
The first-class is the inspector of the Hanging Sword Division, and the sword is made of copper.
On the next level, there is the sword master, the silver or jade hilt.
The highest gold-inlaid hilt, only the head of the Hanging Sword Division, is eligible to hold.
"Xiao Chaoguo!"
Seeing that sword, everyone in the East Harbor knew that the world-famous executioner was coming.
Serving as the head of the Hanging Sword Division for decades, Xiao Chaoguo has been extremely low-key in the capital, but his reputation among the people and rivers and lakes has been built up by the sea of corpses and blood.
"He's here in person, what's going on in this Harbour City?"
People who don't recognize Xiao Chaoguo also recognize his sword.
"Could it be that the Hong Kong Governor is corrupt?" Someone gloated.
"Xiao Chaoguo dares to arrest the governor of Hong Kong? That's a royal man. โ
"The royal family who died in the hands of the Hanging Sword Division, is there still one less?"
"That's ...... too"
People all over the city began to speculate about what that god-like man was doing in this port.
Seeing that the Hanging Sword Division and his party rode into the city, they didn't even cover their tracks, and those who did good deeds had the courage to follow.
"Do you want to die?" His companion grabbed him, "How dare you follow the head of the Hanging Sword Division?" โ
"I just want to see the excitement."
"Look at your turtle is lively, wait until you are pushed to the port to worship the sea, you will become lively!"
Someone pointed in the direction where the Hanging Sword Division beat the horse and left: "Are the people of the Hanging Sword Division going to sea?" โ
โฆโฆ
Xiao Chaoguo took his subordinates and worked all the way quickly, comparable to an eight-hundred-mile rush from Liangzhou to here.
It lasted four days.
At this moment, the group was all exhausted, but the cold color in their eyes still frightened many businessmen who came and went.
In the port of the East China Sea, on the shore, Xiao Chaoguo raised his sword and gave the emperor a gold medal.
He said loudly: "The Hanging Sword Division is handling the case, from now on, the whole East Seaport is only allowed to dock, and no ships are allowed to leave the shore...... Violators, shipwrecked and beheaded, will not be tolerated! โ
"Wow-"
There was an uproar on the shore, and the businessmen and migrant workers were all shocked by this remark.
No one dared to question the gold content of the words spoken by the head of the Hanging Sword Division, but they just dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, staring at the man deadly.
"This is over, I can have a contract with the merchants of the East China Sea, if I don't deliver the goods on time, I will lose all my money......
"Me ...... too"
Everyone gritted their teeth, but they didn't dare to roar.
The horror of the Hanging Sword Division has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Seeing that no one dared to object, Xiao Chaoguo was a little disappointed, and originally thought of killing chickens and monkeys, but he could only use it in vain.
But that's good, it saves him a lot of hands.
"If you hear no, all ships should immediately stop all activities, and it is strictly forbidden to go on board, load goods, lift anchor, or leave the shore...... If anyone violates the rules, they will be killed immediately, and no mercy will be spared! โ
Following Xiao Chaoguo's sword envoy, he shouted loudly, his eyes full of fierce light.
All the boats on the shore, hearing the words over and over again, immediately stopped what they were doing.
Xiao Chaoguo ordered: "All the people who have been on the ship should be brought down and inspected one by one, once found...... Those things, arrest people immediately. โ
"Yes!" Everyone in the Hanging Sword Division spoke in unison.
With that, Xiao Chaoguo sat on the ground and rested against the railing on the shore.
He was tired all the way.
"I actually fell asleep......"
"Go to the Governor, I can't delay the goods I am waiting for."
"Yes, yes, the governor of Hong Kong is a member of the royal family, and the Hanging Sword Division also has to pay respect......
No one needs to please.
When the Hanging Sword Division entered the city, the governor of East Harbour City had already learned the news and was in a panic.
"Xiao Chaoguo is here, he is here in person?" Hong Kong Governor Siu Lang asked his subordinates.
"Did he come to the Yamen of East Harbour City?"
The subordinate shook his head: "Lord Hong Kong, the people of the Hanging Sword Division have all gone to the coast. โ
Coast?
I thought I was coming for myself.
Xiao Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and wondered in his heart: "What is he doing on the coast?" โ
Soon, another person came to report it.
"My lord, the first seat of the Hanging Sword Division has come to control the coast of the harbor, and no ships are allowed to go abroad, and those who violate the order are sunk and beheaded."
"What?"
Xiao Lang frowned: "What kind of prisoner is this here to arrest the Qin of the Nine Clans?" โ
Controlling the entire port of the East China Sea, the impact brought about by this is not something that Xiao Chaoguo, the head of the Hanging Sword Division, can easily bear.
When the little officials who reported the news were gone, the staff said, "My lord, does the Hanging Sword Division want to investigate our smuggling ......?"
"No...... Our business is done for the royal family, and the Hanging Sword Division does not dare to mess around. โ
Xiao Lang shook his head, as a member of the royal family, he was sent to guard this harbor because of the huge profits in it, even the royal family could not take it lightly.
As long as you take advantage of the ports of the East China Sea, the wealth generated here is enough to feed most of the royal family.
Here, the interests of many imperial relatives and nobles are at stake, and the emperor does not dare to control them easily.
A sword division, dare to turn the sky?
"Let's go, let's take a look, don't let this guy turn some things into the light." Xiao Lang suddenly thought of this, and hurriedly took his staff and a group of small officials to go.
"Call the Governor of the Naval Division of Shangdong Harbor, and let's go to meet Xiao Chaoguo together!"
โฆโฆ
When he saw Xiao Chaoguo, Xiao Lang saw his haggard face.
The patrol envoy of the Hanging Sword Division, who was guarding Xiao Chaoguo's side, was also bloodshot, and he could see that he hadn't closed his eyes properly for at least a few days.
Xiao Lang looked at Mo Hai, the governor of the Navy Division, and motioned for him to speak.
Mo Hai glanced at Xiao Lang, he didn't want to disturb Xiao Chaoguo, everyone could see that this was an urgent dare to come, there must be something big in it.
It would not be fun to rashly persuade each other, in case they were seen as accomplices in some big case.
"Ahem......" Xiao Lang had to cough.
Xiao Chaoguo's eyes opened a gap slightly, and he glanced at Xiao Lang.
In the past, he would have been a little respectful to the Governor, but today he is really not in good spirits.
"Xiao ...... First? Seeing that Xiao Chaoguo ignored him, Xiao Lang was displeased, but he still suppressed his tone and did not call him by his name.
Seeing this, Mo Hai also knew that he should speak, otherwise he would have no sense of existence.
"I don't know what kind of case Xiao is doing when he comes from afar?" Mo Hai asked with a smile.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Xiao Chaoguo could not offend everyone, so he closed his eyes and said:
"On the orders of His Majesty and the young master, I came here to garrison, ban the East China Sea, and find enemy spies."
"Spy?" Xiao Lang and Mo Hai both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Lang asked:
"I don't know, what kind of spy needs to blockade the entire East Seaport?"
"Confidential." Xiao Chaoguo shook his head.
The two of them were a little deflated.
But Mo Hai still said: "Then we don't ask...... But even if it is necessary to block the harbor, it will not be impossible for a ship to get out, right? I think it's feasible for you to check one and put one out? โ
"Xiao Shouzao, this East Sea Port is related to the treasury of the Ministry of Households, and His Majesty and the hundred officials attach great importance to it, and the consequences of banning the port...... We can't hold on. Xiao Lang took the opportunity to speak, feeling that he was persuading him with kind words.
The interests of the ports of the East China Sea are too great, and the three of them together are not enough to plug today's holes.
"Nope." Xiao Chaoguo's reply was simple but firm.
"You ......" Mo Hai glared, "Xiao Shouzao, don't you know how powerful this is?" โ
Xiao Lang was also a little unbearable: "Xiao Chaoguo! This is East Harbour City, my place! It's not your capital hanging sword division! โ
When Xiao Chaoguo heard this, he couldn't help but snort lightly, looked at the two of them and said playfully:
"Two, if you let go of the spies, and what they carry...... It's not just the two of you who can't hold it, but the three clans of the two can't hold it. โ
"What?" Both of them were baffled.
No matter how powerful a spy is, even if he escapes with a big secret, it will not affect the three of them.
Especially Xiao Lang, there are emperor's uncles within his three clans.
"Xiao Chaoguo, you don't have to be sensational here!" Xiao Lang was disdainful.
Xiao Chaoguo contemptuously contemptuous of him: "Today I declare the order in public, on behalf of Your Majesty, you two must also obey...... If you dare to disobey the yang, tomorrow's governor and governor of the East Harbor will have to be replaced. โ
"You...... Arrogant! Mo Hai couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at Xiao Chaoguo angrily.
Xiao Lang's face was even more gloomy.
As soon as the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.
In this regard, Xiao Chaoguo smiled slightly and said to the two: "Two, I haven't killed the imperial prince and the governor of the navy with my own hands...... Don't give me a chance. โ
"You ......" Mo Hai curled his fingers and gradually withdrew them, although he was angry, he still chose to swallow his anger.
But Xiao Lang was different, he looked at Xiao Chaoguo coldly, and in the face of a group of subordinates and the people watching on the coast, his majesty as governor was greatly challenged.
So, he stood on the shore and immediately ordered: "This ship, immediately leave the shore!" โ
After receiving the harbour governor's personal order, the merchant on board was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the ship to be sailed, and the goods that had not yet been on board were not transported.
Seeing this, Xiao Lang looked back and provoked Xiao Chaoguo: "I'll give you a chance, how dare you?" โ
As he spoke, he put his neck in front of Xiao Chaoguo.
"Poofโ"
The Imperial Sword was extremely sharp, Xiao Lang's head slipped from his neck, and no one could see the speed at which Xiao Chaoguo took out the sword, only saw him slowly retract the sword into its scabbard.
Startled, Mo Hai froze, covered his mouth, and pointed at Xiao Chaoguo tremblingly.
"Hiss......" Countless people present couldn't help but take a deep breath and touch their necks.
With a kick away, the headless corpse that was still spurting blood, Xiao Chaoguo gestured.
"Ah......h
Xiao Chaoguo looked at the sluggish Mo Hai, glanced at everyone in the port again, and said lightly: "The Hanging Sword Division has always been the same. โ
