Chapter 53, Disorder
The boundless moonlight shrouded the land, and the night wind whined, like a cry.
Sweet Water Well Alley, outside the courtyard.
Witnessing Fang Rui simply and neatly slashed Huang Zhu's head.
Jiang Ping'an was stunned; On the other side, Sister-in-law Jiang, who had not yet entered the door, exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly covered the eyes of Niu Dun and Xiao Dou Sprouts.
Sister-in-law Jiang is out of shape for the bloody scene.
And Jiang Ping'an ......
At the moment of Fang Rui's death, Fang Rui stopped Huang Zhutou, and then ...... He was in a trance, and the yellow catcher turned into a corpse.
Fast!
It's so fast!
Fang Rui grabbed, kicked, and stabbed, killing Huang Zhutou in three moves, such as adults beating children and grandfathers beating grandchildren.
You know: Huang Zhutou is a genuine eight-rank martial artist!
Jiang Ping'an has a deep memory, Huang Zhutou once fought a bandit, and after fighting more than a dozen moves, he successfully captured the other party.
But such a strongman, in the hands of Fang Rui, he was killed in three moves...... Oh, there is another trick to save him, to be more honest, to kill Huang Catcher, Fang Rui only used two moves!
It's true: no contrast, no harm.
Jiang Ping'an couldn't imagine how strong Fang Rui was!
It took him a few breaths before he reacted, swallowed his saliva with a grunt, and subconsciously burst into a foul mouth: "! ”
"Brother Fang, how did you do it?" Jiang Ping'an asked with burning eyes.
He really wanted to learn it, Fang Rui's fighting style was crisp and neat, without a trace of superfluous movements, but it had an indescribable smooth beauty, like art.
Even if you can learn one point of killing, three points of chic, you will be satisfied.
"Familiar." Fang Rui took his hand and said lightly.
Jiang Ping'an: ......
"Just kidding...... Brother Jiang, these three words are not clear to explain, if you really want to say it, it is a combination of skills and hard power, and the two are ......"
First of all, accurately grabbing Huang Zhutou's wrist requires crushing the opponent's reaction speed and strength;
Then, when Huang Zhutou was frightened, he kicked hard and kicked at the opponent's acupuncture point, although he didn't use his strength, he had hundreds of catties of physical strength.
This time, Huang Zhu's head was kicked so numb that he couldn't lift his energy.
In the end, don't force it, step forward and kill it with a knife......
And voila, it's that simple!
"As long as you have the reaction speed and strength to crush the other party, and then, you are proficient in all acupuncture points of the human body, and finally do not force, swing the knife ......"
Fang Rui spread his hands lightly: "That's it, it's very simple." ”
Jiang Ping'an: ......
His mood at the moment is like a stupid scumbag.
Brain: I will; Hand: No, you won't.
"Don't talk about that...... Brother Jiang and sister-in-law, it's a mess outside, it's windy, with two little ones, let's go in quickly! ”
Fang Rui said, mentioning the corpse of Huang Zhutou, he had to put it away from afar.
"Hey, Brother Fang, don't throw it, this is a good thing......"
Jiang Ping'an stopped and was about to open his mouth to explain.
In the alley in the distance, a continuous torch light like a long snake suddenly appeared, cruising towards this side, obviously, it was a large-scale soldier.
"Thief...... No, the rebels?! This is not the place to talk...... Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, go, go in first! ”
Fang Rui took Jiang Ping'an, Jiang's sister-in-law, Niu Dun, and Xiaodou Sprouts and turned back to enter the door.
……
Soon after entering the gate, the sound of soldiers sounded outside the door, and the soldiers did not stop, passing through the door and heading straight for the center of the city.
"I should have gone to the county office, and I came so quickly...... Fortunately, I didn't go with Huang Zhutou, otherwise I would ......"
Jiang Ping'an shook his head with palpitations, looked at Fang Rui, and said gratefully: "Brother Fang saved my life!" ”
"Yes, thanks to ......" the sister-in-law also thanked her.
"Little things. Brother Jiang and sister-in-law, with the friendship between our two families, why do you say these words? Or deal with this ...... first"
Fang Rui raised the corpse of the yellow head.
"Yikes!"
The cow pier and small bean sprouts in Jiang's sister-in-law's arms, the two of them shrank their necks; Sister-in-law Jiang also jumped her eyelids, hugged the two children, and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Look at my brain......"
Jiang Ping'an slapped his forehead: "This thing is bloody, Brother Fang, why don't you put it in this front yard temporarily?" Cover it with sackcloth, so as not to collide with the eldest lady and sister-in-law......"
"Okay."
After putting away the corpse of Huang Zhutou, Fang Rui took Jiang Ping'an's family to the backyard.
Sister-in-law Jiang has Fang Xue and Sanniangzi to receive her, Niu Dun and Xiaodou Sprouts are not a little bit, and there are also two playmates, Fang Ling and Nannan.
Fang Rui and Jiang Ping'an, because the smell of blood on their bodies was too great, did not enter the house, but sat in the courtyard under the big willow tree to talk in detail.
“…… I was awakened by the shouts of 'city breaking' outside, and I was happy that I didn't have to go to the city tomorrow, and then, Huang Zhutou came and asked me to go to guard the county government together...... I didn't have enough to hold on, but I couldn't help it, Huang Zhutou had a big fist...... I used the excuse that my wife and children were unattended, and that I only had two steps to come here......"
Jiang Ping'an smiled bitterly: "Brother Fang is clear about what happened later. ”
"That's how it is."
Fang Rui bowed his head, and then he understood the cause and effect.
"As for the corpse of the yellow catcher, it can be used as a step into the body...... It's not difficult for me to find some connections, do a little bit or two, and find an official skin for Brother Fang......"
Jiang Ping'an looked at Fang Rui: "With Brother Fang's strength, I'm afraid I can make a head hunt in one fell swoop this time!" ”
The servants are basically not in the product, and are responsible for trivial things such as patrolling the streets; Catch fast, generally nine products, responsible for investigating cases and the like; Catching heads, catching fast heads, the strength of eight products is a hard condition......
A servant like him can make a lot of oil and water, not to mention catching fast and head.
"To be a headcatcher?!"
Fang Rui shook his head and refused firmly: "I won't do it...... Brother Jiang, you know, I don't like those flies and dogs in officialdom......"
Maybe for others, this is a piece of fat, but he really doesn't like it, and he doesn't want to mix it.
For Fang Rui, if he can get stronger, then everything is the best, and such troubles are avoided - yes, in his opinion, the errand of 'head-catching' is trouble.
"On the contrary, it is Brother Jiang, who is used to ...... just right"
"Me? It's a waste for me to use it! I'm not even a martial artist, even if I use it as a step to enter the body, at most I will find a quick catch......"
"Brother Jiang is in love."
Fang Rui shook his head: "This position is not big, it is not too big, it is not small, it has real power, and it is extremely operable...... On the contrary, the head-catching is a bit eye-catching......"
"Taiping thieves, the government, there may not be a recurrence between the two...... In case the government calls back one day, it is unlikely that it will be liquidated to a small catch......"
"Of course, the risk is not too great, but there are still some, Brother Jiang can decide for himself...... Anyway, I won't use it. Fang Rui expressed his attitude.
Having said this, Jiang Ping'an thought about it for a while, and he was no longer hypocritical: "That...... Brother Fang, I'll really use it? What will happen to you in the future, in a word......"
The two chatted, and the night breeze was slow, blowing the tips of the wicker.
The moonlight like water filled the courtyard, and the shadows of the grass and trees were reflected in the moonlight, like weeds swaying in the water.
Exactly: the court is like stagnant water and empty, and the algae and wattles in the water are crisscrossed.
In the inner room, the dim lights were beating, and through the window, the hazy shadows of Fang Xue's family, Sanniangzi, Jiang's sister-in-law and others could be seen, and a low voice came from it.
This is a pure land!
Outside.
Door breaking, smashing, screaming...... The sound is becoming more and more intense, and it is the most chaotic moment when the flowers are brocade and the fire is cooking.
……
About a stick of incense later.
In the direction of the center of the city, there was a sudden shout: "The county government has been broken!" The county is dead! You still don't surrender?! ”
This voice is full of energy, like muffled thunder, half of the city can be heard.
……
"The county government is broken?! This Changshan City has really fallen into the hands of the rebels. ”
After Fang Rui's suggestion, Jiang Ping'an is also consciously changing his habits, replacing 'Taiping Thief' and 'Thief Army' with 'Righteous Army', so as not to leak his mouth on weekdays.
"yes!"
Fang Rui sighed: "The rebel army has broken through the county government, and later, it will probably start to maintain order, and the chaos in the city will come to an end......"
In the past, Changshan City was the Changshan City of the government, and naturally the more chaotic the better; Now, Changshan City is the Changshan City of the Righteous Army, so it is natural to establish order.
If not, how can we win the hearts of the people?
Even, to put it more darkly, the peace thieves in the city before were meticulous and rhythmic, and after the city was broken, they were wantonly ...... Wait until later...... It's not just to create a before-and-after contrast.
"At such a time, those idle warriors and ruffians who are making trouble, if they are smart, they should stop." Fang Rui stood up and stood with his hands in his hands.
"Having said that, not all smart people in this world ......" Jiang Ping'an shook his head.
"Yes. It is precisely because this world is composed of smart people and stupid people that it is interesting, variable, and miraculous! ”
……
As Fang Rui expected, the chaos outside the city came to an end.
Some wise people who saw the situation clearly retreated, like the shadows shrinking in the blazing sun at noon.
Of course, there is no shortage of fools in this world...... Many ruffians who killed, robbed, and smashed their heads in dizzy minds couldn't stop at all, but because of that voice, a sense of urgency arose in their hearts and they began the final carnival.
As a result, the screams echoing in the air became more and more poignant.
It's just that.
Under the general trend, all kinds of sounds and fires everywhere are still sparse.
……
Stomp, stomp!
Dense footsteps rang out outside.
Fang Rui and Jiang Ping'an came to the front yard and looked through the crack in the door.
Saw:
Outside, a large number of fat and thin, tall and short soldiers, with a slightly scattered formation and quite high spirits, began to patrol the streets, killing and beheading the ruffians and hooligans who were still wandering and doing evil.
These people are easy to distinguish, and they all wear red turbans.
While!
There was also a watchman carrying a gong, who was held by a knife, and shouted along the street: "The weather is dry, watch out for the candles!" ”
While!
"The county is dead, and the rebels have broken through the county ......"
While!
"General Xuantong An Min's order: those who kill and set fire to death will die, those who injure people and loot will be punished, and those who are violent and excesses will be exempted from miscellaneous taxes...... The big guys can live in peace! ”
……
'The otherworldly version of the three chapters of the covenant?!' ’
Fang Rui's heart moved, listening to the voice outside, and sighed: "That Li Xuantong is a hero!" ”
'Death to those who kill and set fire' and 'punishment to wound and plunder' are the most basic forms of order.
As for exemption from exorbitant taxes?
Ordinary people in the city are already so poor that they can't squeeze oil and water, and they can't collect taxes if they want to, so they simply give up, and they can still win a wave of people's hearts...... Something that benefits without expense.
"Yes, I think this Li Xuantong seems to be a person who can do things." Jiang Ping'an sighed.
"This is not necessarily, whether it is successful or not, not only depends on the good times, but also depends on the bad times...... Fang Rui shook his head.
If the war goes well, naturally you are good and I am good, and there is a lot of harmony; If the Taiping thieves are defeated, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Xuantong will not burn down Changshan City and coerce the displaced people.
"That makes sense!"
Jiang Ping'an bowed: "However, no matter what, our Changshan City is in the hands of the righteous army for the time being, and the coming day will be long, let's take a look!" ”
"Brother Fang, it's time for me to go out! Make a connection, change your official skin, this matter should be sooner rather than later......"
"Brother Jiang has thought about it? Now, the chaos outside is not completely over......"
"I've thought about it."
Jiang Ping'an smiled: "It is precisely when such chaos is undecided that it is good to do these private things...... Moreover, there were already rebel patrols outside the city, and some order was restored...... I took a waist knife with me...... It's not too risky, it's worth the ......"
Fang Rui secretly praised in his heart.
If nothing else, Jiang Ping'an's consciousness is one step ahead, and he is not comparable to ordinary people.
In his opinion, Jiang Ping'an's operation is very likely to be successful, after all, the Taiping thief also needs the cooperation of the local snake to govern the local ...... There is also the head of the yellow catcher as a vote...... In addition, it is not difficult to have personal connections, work up and down, and seek a quick catch!
"Since Brother Jiang has already decided, it's not good for me not to stop it...... Hold on! ”
Fang Rui entered the house, and after a while, he came out again and handed over twenty taels of silver: "Brother Jiang has a little relationship, why is this missing?" ”
"Brother Fang......" Jiang Ping'an instinctively wanted to resign.
It's true: I owe Fang Rui too much!
"Between you and me, don't talk about this, take it! Brother Jiang, if you do it, I can also get ...... naked" Fang Rui forcibly stuffed it.
Jiang Ping'an's character and the friendship between the two are not false.
Moreover, it can also be seen as an investment......
As Fang Rui said, Jiang Ping'an has become a fast catcher, which is also good for him - strength is only one aspect, you can't solve everything with your fists, the protection of officials is still necessary, and there are also news channels of the system......
"Okay, I won't thank you for our lifelong friendship...... It's all written here! ”
Jiang Ping'an patted his chest: "Your sister-in-law, nephew, and niece, just bothered Brother Fang to take care of it and left." ”
After speaking, he carried the head of the yellow catcher wrapped in linen, pushed the door, and strode out.
……
Outside.
Under the pressure of the patrol bullets of the Taiping thieves, the chaos in various parts of the city gradually stopped, and peace was gradually restored.
……
Not long after.
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
It was the street chief of Tianshuijing Hutong, leading two Taiping thieves to inspect and interrogate from house to house.
Fang Rui has a relationship with Jiang Ping'an, and he has long been familiar with this street chief, and he is not afraid of interrogation, so he hurriedly asked a few words, and left in a hurry.
……
Just when Fang Rui thought that tonight was going to pass like this, a somewhat familiar scream suddenly sounded outside the door.
……
I thought I had written five or six thousand, saved it to the background, and when I looked at the word count, it was just over four thousand, embarrassing......
