"Hold your head and squat down!" She shouted and blew her whistle and ran to the man and woman.

But the latter ran away, trying to take advantage of the crowd to slip away.

Nearby citizens who did not know the truth were looking around, and the female patrol police struggled to squeeze through a group of people, and chased after them.

As the distance closed, she grabbed the woman's left hand and grabbed it firmly. But when the young man found out that his accomplice had been caught, he immediately turned around and pounced on him, trying to free his accomplice.

The two sides fought together in an instant, the woman struggling desperately, and the young man was pushing and pulling.

"Let go !!" The female patrol officer shouted sharply, but to no avail, and the man and woman were still resisting violently.

In the face of the full resistance of these two people, she was too small to beat her two fists and four hands, and she completely lost the upper hand.

This scene happened in front of Zhou Changfeng and Xia Xiaoshi, and they were only ten steps away.

The former didn't want to get involved in this sudden event at first, which was completely different from the last time. Anyway, there are people all around, and the two people who are being hunted down will definitely be subdued by passers-by.

But once it is mixed, I will have to go to the inspection department again tonight. After all, the first Shangyuan Festival after the newlywed is still somewhat commemorative, so it will not be disrupted if it can be disrupted.

But often it backfires, and suddenly, another figure rushes out of the crowd.

A passer-by exclaimed, "Knife! He has a knife! ”

Zhou Changfeng followed the prestige, and saw two short men holding knives and rushing towards the scuffling female patrol officer and the two suspects.

Grass! I almost forgot that such child trafficking gangs usually work together and take care of each other!

didn't have time to hesitate at all, Zhou Changfeng snatched the rock sugar gourd in Xia Xiaoshi's hand, and pulled out the hairpin in her bun.

At this time, the baton carried by the female patrol officer had already rolled to the side, and she was trying to pull out the gun from her waist at the moment.

But as soon as she pulled out her matching gun from her holster, the two knife-wielding accomplices rushed to her and stabbed them down.

At this moment, the rock sugar gourd, which was frozen hard because of the cold weather, flew straight and hit the back of one of them in the back of the head with impartiality and precision.

In the next second, the right hand pinched the hairpin circumference and struggled to throw it out, and the hairpin made of tungsten steel spun three times in the air like a flying needle. But unfortunately, in the end, he couldn't hit with a pointed head, but hit it vertically, causing no damage.

Now he didn't have time to complain, so he bent down and picked up the two-foot-long ash baton.

The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, a stick of more than 60 centimeters is completely worthy of the small short knife of more than 10 centimeters.

Zhou Changfeng struck down the daggers in the hands of his two knife-wielding accomplices, but what he saw out of the corner of his eye made him chuckle in his heart - the female patrolman who had been stabbed had let go of her hand because of the severe pain, and the young man had already grabbed the revolver.

Fortunately, the citizens next to them did not stand idly by, they were just confused by the series of situations just now, and after coming back to their senses, I don't know who took the lead, a group of young people rushed up, and quickly subdued several suspects here.

Zhou Changfeng threw the baton, and under the reflection of the flickering lights around him, it could be seen that the female patrol officer was stabbed in the lower abdomen, and the blood was flowing like an infusion, and the blood accumulated under her body was expanding at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

He hesitated, picked up the pistol and fired it into the air, hoping to get the other patrols around him to come to the aid sooner.

"Bang-"

The sound of gunfire spread very far in the night, and Zhou Changfeng put the gun down, turned around and shouted: "Bandage!" To stop the bleeding! Strips of cloth, towels, handkerchiefs, what to give! ”

Most of the women who were hiding far away were stunned, and then they rummaged through them.

Who has nothing to do with a towel with them, and if you want to bring a handkerchief, you can also bring a handkerchief.

Soon, Zhou Changfeng had more than a dozen handkerchiefs of different colors on hand, but there were no long enough bands to use as bandages.

He said anxiously: "Hurry up! Long, long! ”

People looked at each other, and they didn't know where to find a long strap that met the requirements.

At this time, a tall and thin girl boldly asked, "Huh... Is it okay to use silk? ”

The so-called silk is a long belt between the shoulders, arms, and waist, usually silk fabric.

This thing is a pure ornament, travel is convenient, even if today is the Shangyuan Festival, many girls choose to wear ancient clothes, but the vast majority of people will not find trouble for themselves.

But there are just people who go out with such a long belt in order to be elegant and chic.

"Hold on, hold on." Zhou Changfeng glanced at the dagger inserted in the female patrolman's lower abdomen, and said with relief: "It's not a fatal injury, it's okay." ”

It is not advisable to pull out the knife according to the treatment of the trauma, otherwise it may cause the bleeding to worsen. He quickly folded the handkerchief in half and pressed it next to the knife wound, which was instantly soaked with dark red venous blood.

Then he put on a folded handkerchief, and finally wrapped the silk around his body twice, so that the bandaging was complete.

"Cold... Somewhat... Cold ......"

"Don't fall asleep, hey, keep your eyes open."

The commotion and gunfire soon attracted other patrolmen in the vicinity, and within minutes of their arrival, two men arrived.

Nowadays, there is no Internet, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to get access to professional knowledge, either to consult a doctor or to find it in a library by themselves, so even if someone is interested, most of them will be discouraged by these troubles.

In later generations, in addition to various pamphlets, sometimes I will click in and watch a related video inadvertently, and over time, I can understand some of it.

Therefore, when the patrol officers who rushed to support saw such a bandage, they subconsciously judged that someone Zhou was a doctor.

"Someone help!"

"Good boy, a lot of blood! Hurry, hurry up and get to the hospital! ”

"Doctor! She's... How? ”

Zhou Changfeng, whose hands were covered with blood, replied while wiping the blood with a handkerchief: "It should be the intestines there, and it doesn't hurt the organs, just debridement and suture." ”

During this period, several suspects were beaten by indignant citizens, punched and kicked, and killed hands.

The stout man with the knife was thrown off the city wall, and the wall in the area of Jubaomen was four feet high, and the upper body hit the ground and almost killed him on the spot.

Patrol officers who are so common in this regard don't care about what happens to a few traffickers, at least in this case, the idiom that the law does not hold the public accountable applies.

Since ancient times, the Chinese legal system has punished this kind of "selling the population" very severely, with the Han Dynasty being the most severe, followed by the Sui and Tang dynasties.

For example, the Han Dynasty's "Nine Chapters of Law - Thief Law" has "...... If a person sells a person slightly, and he is guilty of the same crime. Slightly unsold...... The express law of "all of them".

Punishment is a typical punishment left over from ancient times, first cutting off the flesh and bones, then cutting off the limbs, and finally cutting the throat. However, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, many large and small punishments have been eliminated, and the remaining five punishments are fixed as the well-known flogging, rod, imprisonment, streaming, and death, of which "death" is divided into beheading, hanging, and chopping.

However, even after the Song and Yuan dynasties, the sentences for human traffickers were often 100 rods, 3,000 miles, three years in prison, and so on.

And if abuse is detected, it is often escalated to hanging. In view of the fact that most of the trafficking gangs are not able to serve them well, they usually cannot escape death.

"You guys have a problem with this combination, this kind of key place shouldn't be a solo action."

"Today's manpower is tight, not enough."

After learning of Zhou's true identity, the patrol officers were embarrassed and thanked them again and again, but he complained about the police arrangement of the Jubaomen Tower.

To put it simply, the police in Jiangning County are usually enough, and only grand festivals like the Shangyuan Festival will be a little nervous throughout the year.

Therefore, there is reluctance to expand the scale. In other words, the Advisory Council is not willing to grant funds, feeling that it is a waste of money.

After all, the local inspection department will not object to issuing more funds, recruiting a few more people to save time and effort, and if the chicken thief orders, he can secretly eat empty wages.

A deputy superintendent sighed: "These people have repeatedly succeeded in picking up a crowded crowd when they are crowded, and there have always been frequent cases of abduction and trafficking during the Shangyuan Festival, and there were more than 40 cases in one night in Jiangning County last year. ”

"So much?" When Zhou Changfeng heard this, he frowned and said, "How much did it break in the end?" ”

"Uh... All it can be said is... Not high. ”

"Can't tell? There won't be even ten cases. ”

The deputy superintendent replied helplessly: "Sir, this is not comparable to a murder case, the murderer's behavior is abnormal, and it is easy to identify." There is no shortage of these people who are dignified and well-dressed, and they don't look like thieves who sell children a little. ”

Later, several dying suspects were handcuffed and dragged away by the patrol officers with ropes and handcuffs.

For Zhou Changfeng and Xia Xiaoshi, although they were not invited to the nearby inspection department this time, the good Shangyuan Festival was still disturbed by this.

Because Zhou pulled out the hairpin, the latter was distributed, so he had to go to the food stall under the city wall to get a pair of chopsticks and replace them temporarily.

The two of them were not interested, and after a few more laps, they went home.

Some people are happy and some are sad, but the Shangyuan Festival, which should be peaceful, has become a good day for the little ones, and it is hard to imagine that the night that should be leisurely has to face the sadness of separation of flesh and blood.

This day is also the most fearful for the officials of the punishment halls, execution rooms, and inspection departments of the yamen of the state capitals in the north and south of the river - if it is less than in previous years, it will be fine; But if it does not decrease but increases, it will be over, and eighty percent of the political achievements will be wasted.

As far as the capital is concerned, it is not bad from last year, this time the Shangyuan Festival Yingtianfu received a total of 92 reports of children missing, 44 in Jiangning County, 31 in Shangyuan County, and 17 in Shangshang County.

As a result, Dai Binshi, the hall of the Ying Tianfu Punishment Hall, collapsed.

Since he took office, despite all the efforts he has made, the rampant abduction and trafficking of children on the day of the Shangyuan Festival has not changed.

Now it's okay, the road to the official career has been blocked.

A person tries his best but achieves nothing, and the despair can be imagined.

The year of not being confused should have been the most glorious age of a man with a successful career, but the cold situation seemed to have poured a basin of ice water on him, watering his heart.

According to the rules of the Ming court, this kind of official with poor political performance will not get out of his place and leave, after all, he has not derelicted his duty and made mistakes. But after that, it will be extremely difficult to be promoted, and there is a high probability that it will be staying in the same position, or transferring at the same level, so as to wait until it is almost the age to return to the hometown, and then give a "friendship move" and be promoted to one level.

As for finding ways to get out of the relationship, this feasibility is very small, why don't the officials give priority to promoting others with bright resumes when they have the spare power? Unless this person is really good and has core competitiveness.

For an official fan, such a blow may be no less than the revenge of killing his father.

When borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, recalling the past process, Dai Binshi couldn't help but shed tears, and the dignified Yingtianfu Torture Hall was crying at home.

He once felt that he was not smart enough to fight a small one, but his wife comforted him that he had come all the way to this point was already very powerful, although he did not pretend to be a genius, but he was also the best among people, which made him a little easier.

The next day, Dai Binshi, who had rectified his spirit, was ruthless, determined to fight those thieves who ruined his career to the end.

Under the leadership of the arrested suspects, the menacing criminal police and patrol police vigorously searched and arrested all suspicious inns, warehouses, and abandoned houses.

The citizens who wanted to enjoy the ten-day holiday of the Shangyuan Festival were deeply affected and complained constantly.

Zhou Changfeng returned to the station on the 24th to prepare for the opening, which was still a week away from the newlywed honeymoon that Westerners are accustomed to, but the Ming people did not pay attention to this.

At first, he and his other officers believed that going to Fushan Mansion for a drill was the real purpose - to practice first, and then wait a few months before going east, because it would take time for Western forces to withdraw from the Dongying Islands.

However, when the army column carrying the 1st Landing Regiment was refueling coal and replenishing water in Xuzhou, it suddenly received an order from the Navy Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, requesting that the destination be changed immediately and go to Haizhou instead.

Aren't you going to Fushan Mansion to conduct a landing operation drill? Good guy, you won't act anymore, right?

Haizhou, which was Lianyungang in later generations, is now an important base of the Oriental Fleet of the Ming Navy.

Because the degree of development here is much lower than that of Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places, there will be a lot less worries about the crowd, so some cutting-edge warships and fighters will be deployed here for drills first.

While waiting for the transfer at the train station, everyone gathered on the edge of the platform and discussed.

"Is this going to be a direct action?" Zhu Lishuo was surprised: "But it's not even March." ”

Zhao Hanfeng, who was thoughtful, muttered: "It is estimated that it is going to be true, maybe the imperial court suddenly changed its mind." ”

"The Western garrison has not yet withdrawn, and now it is sending troops... Maybe you want to show off your martial arts? Personally, I feel that there is an intention to do so. Yao Liangchuan speculated.

Xie Wancheng on the side waved his hand disdainfully, "What is there to ponder?" Let me do whatever I want, but this projectile Xiaobang is not interesting, I am afraid that it will not be a drop in the wind, and it will end in ten days and half a month. ”

Yao Liangchuan glared at him, "You guy, you have to suffer to be happy?" ”

Zhou Changfeng didn't have any emotional fluctuations about this, the risk of this military operation was not high, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Military Department had also been preparing for many years, and it was generally very safe.

Solve the problem as soon as possible, and strive to go home before the Dragon Boat Festival, no matter how late it is, it will not be the Qixi Festival.

Landing in Edo and capturing the Wa King alive!

Laughed to death, yesterday I experienced massage and cupping under the instigation, and my body fell apart.

There is also a shift in the evening.
