Chapter 5 Zeng Guosun
A gunshot rang out, and a blood hole in the center of the merchant's forehead began to flow out to donate blood, and before he could get off the horse, Su Ming's spear was aimed at the nearest guard from him, and the guard was obviously stunned when he saw Su Ming's shot, and before he could react, Su Ming's second shot had already hit him in the chest.
A heavy fall sounded, and as the merchant fell to the ground, one of the guards also fell to the ground.
Another guard had already run to a distance of five meters from Su Ming, and when he saw Su Ming knocking down his companion with a very small fire, he stopped in fear with a look on his face, his eyes stared at Su Ming as if he was still hesitating whether he should continue to kill or escape, Su Ming's third shot rang out again.
Walking up to the fallen guard, Su Ming was sure that he was dead, so he walked over to the other guard.
The second guard, Su Ming, shot him in the chest, and now that he was spitting blood from his mouth and seemed to want to stand up, Su Ming walked over and shot him in the head.
Ignoring the merchant who was killed by himself first, Su Ming came to the last old man step by step, and the old man had just reacted that Su Ming killed his three companions alone, and saw Su Ming approaching and kneeling in front of Su Ming.
"Good man! The good man spared his life, my wife was sick and had nothing to eat, so I went out to work for him, I didn't want to kill you..."As soon as the old man finished speaking, Su Ming deducted the board machine on him, and the other party had already fallen to the ground.
It's not that Su Ming is ruthless, he is walking on thin ice in this world, if he lets go of this old man and lets him tell others about today's events, he may have new troubles.
Su Ming didn't want to do it, it was the other party who took the lead in making it to himself, so Su Ming didn't have much guilt in his heart, he should have killed the bad guy.
When he was in the army, Su Ming participated in many peacekeeping missions in Africa, and he was also demobilized after meritorious service, so that he could become the captain of the 34411 coast guard ship step by step, and killing people was no stranger to him.
Four people fell to the ground, making sure no one was breathing. Seeing the two horses spinning in circles in a bit of a panic, Su Ming walked over and led the two horses to the owner and began to inspect his trophies.
In addition to a water bottle, the strong horse also had two large bags. There were more than two catties of jerky in a saddle money bag, and more than a dozen nests. In the bag behind the saddle, Su Ming found more than three copper coins, and he put them away.
These jerky and water bags have already been used, and maybe there is poison in the jerky, Su Ming doesn't want it, so he directly takes it off the horse and throws it into the woods next to him.
The old horse was carrying two packages on his body, which looked quite heavy, Su Ming probably took a look, on one side was some coarse cloth, with some kitchen knives, machetes and other knives in the middle, and on the other side were some inferior brick tea cowhide water bags, which seemed to be worth some money.
No money was found on the old horse's back, so Su Ming checked the package on the old man's back. Inside were some coarse grains and water bags, and there were only 24 copper plates on the old man's body, which was really a poor jingle.
Coming to the merchant's side, Su Ming searched his purse, there were more than ten pieces of broken silver in it, about five taels, he was going to search for two guards, except for two big knives, they only found 3 halves of broken silver and more than 300 copper coins.
Put all the copper coins on the old horse, and put the broken silver Su Ming into his pocket. He looked at the old horse's body and felt that it would be a pity to lose it.
Su Ming's family was not wealthy, and the people of the salt factory lived worse than the civilians here, so after thinking about it for a while, Su Ming decided to bring these goods back.
The clothes and shoes on this merchant should be worth some money, but Su Ming is reluctant to pick up the clothes of the dead. Riding on the strong horse and holding the reins of the old horse, Su Ming headed south, these corpses did not need to be taken care of by him, and it would not be long before the scene would be cleaned up by the beasts.
The Jinshanwei Salt Institute has horses, so the original owner can ride horses, and now Su Ming has also practiced horseback riding in the army, and now he will at least not fall off the horse.
The speed of the horse is much faster than that of a human walk, Su Ming saw that the danger had been eliminated now, and put the Type 92 pistol in his mind, he habitually closed his eyes to check the situation inside the 34411 coast guard ship, anyway, no matter how long it took to enter, it would only pass for a moment after coming out.
When he met four people just now, he didn't pose much of a threat to him, but he still had to be more careful, because an arrow or a fire could kill him in the dark, and there were fire commanders in this period, although they couldn't compare with his own pistol.
No matter what happens, Su Ming likes to summarize it at the right time, so that he may make fewer mistakes and take fewer detours. Just as he was about to leave here, Su Ming glanced at the pistol bag on his statue's waist, but found that there were numbers on it.
【73%】!
What does this number mean? Su Ming still doesn't know, could it be that he used a pistol just now?
I don't understand, and I will have time to study it slowly later. Riding Su Ming's horse along the path to the south, he paid attention to the situation in front of the road, and at the slightest noise he would become very vigilant, and he would pay attention to the battle with his gun at any time.
After walking for more than half an hour, about 20 miles, Su Ming saw that the old horse was a little unable to walk, it was panting, no matter what method Su Ming used, it slowly walked slowly and slowly.
Su Ming didn't want to stay here for too long, he unloaded the goods on the back of the old horse, let the two horses eat grass for a while, and then put the goods on the strong horse, the old horse traveled lightly, and Su Ming walked in front and led the two horses.
It was only about 5 miles away from the small river that the innkeeper of Chunlinwan Village said, Su Ming saw a figure on a small hill in front of him, he just stopped and took out the pistol, and a group of more than ten people on the other side came from a distance, Su Ming didn't move, just waited for them in place with a gun.
Now there are still 10 bullets in the gun, and he should be able to kill more than half of these bandits if he fights and retreats, seeing that the other party is black and thin, not everyone holds a knife, Su Ming took a big knife from the horse, and he was 60% sure that he could solve these people in front of him.
The bandit saw that Su Ming had not fled, so he stopped 20 meters in front of him.
Su Ming observed the other party carefully, there were 14 people in total, 2 of them were holding large knives, 3 were holding spears, 1 was holding strange bows and arrows, and the other 8 were all holding long wooden sticks.
"Boy, this Black Dragon Ditch is the territory of my Black Dragon Village, if you want to pass through our Black Dragon Ditch, you have to leave the money to buy the road!" The black-bearded man in the lead of the other party stood up and said in a rough voice.
Su Ming saw that this big man should be more than 180 centimeters tall, wearing a linen coat on his body, and straw sandals on his feet, his body was thin and he looked malnourished, and the other people around him were even thinner than him. Su Ming now feels that he is 90% sure of defeating the other party.
"How much does it cost?" It is best to solve it without fighting, Su Ming took a step forward and asked lightly.
"200 Wen!" Dahan looked at Su Ming and said.
Su Ming took out two strings of money from the bag on the horse's body, exactly 200 wen, led the horse to the other party's 20-meter position and stopped, he held up the two strings of money and signaled the other party to take it.
Blackbeard looked at a young man with a wooden stick next to him, the young man ran over to Su Ming, Su Ming threw 200 Wen to the other party, the young man took the money and ran to Blackbeard to hand him the money.
"Brother acquaintance, next time I will give you a cheaper price in my Heilong Mountain, and I will only charge you 100 Wen! Remove! After saying that, Blackbeard led everyone to retreat quickly, and in less than a minute, he had already hidden behind a hill in the distance and disappeared.
It couldn't be better if there was no need to fight, Su Ming pulled the two horses across the hill, and didn't find any more people, so he put the pistol back in his mind, transferred the goods from the back of the strong horse to the back of the old horse, and rode the strong horse quickly towards the target stream.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Ming saw the stream, the water was not deep, only about 40 centimeters, and he could cross it by rolling up his trouser legs.
And by the stream, Su Ming also found other figures, and the other party saw that he was looking at him from a distance, and he didn't mean to come forward to provoke him.
Su Ming took off his shoes and rolled up his trouser legs to cross the stream, dried his feet with the cloth bag on his horseback, put on his shoes and continued along the path, and after about five miles, he saw a fork in the road in front of him.
……
Zeng Guosun has been in Fengjingdu for six years, and six years ago he sent his wife to the landlord's house on his wedding night.
Originally, in Zeng Guosun's hometown, it was customary to send the bride to the master's house three days before marriage. People there have been like this for generations, and Zeng Guosun is no exception.
However, after Zeng Guosun visited the church and got married, he sent his wife to the landlord's house, and finally waited for three days to come back to pick up people, but heard the news that his wife had died.
The landlord hoped that 10 taels of silver would solve the matter, because Zeng Guosun spent less than 6 taels of silver before and after marrying his daughter-in-law, but Zeng Guosun couldn't swallow the anger in his heart.
Zeng Guosun's martial arts as a nurse are not bad, he pretended to accept the ten taels of silver, and then quietly took his parents and sister out of Zhuangzi, and killed the eldest son of the landlord's family who went out alone without anyone's expectations, and finally fled to Fengjingdu with his family.
It is a big crime to kill the lord in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great crime, and killing the son of the landlord is also a murder. And Feng Chime crossed Zeng Guosun because of what he committed, and he was respected by many people. Because they don't eat the rules of the government, they don't talk about laws and decrees in everything, but talk about morality and righteousness.
Only those who dare to resist the oppression of the imperial court here are considered heroes, so he soon became involved with the boss here, and relying on his martial arts, Zeng Guosun became a small leader in Fenglingdu step by step.
Four years ago, the imperial court suppressed bandits, and several leaders of Fenglingdu were killed, Zeng Guosun's eyes were bright and he ran fast, escaped the siege of the officers and soldiers, and hid in the mountains and forests for more than half a month, and when the officers and soldiers left, he secretly came back.
This area of water extends in all directions, and a large number of homeless people from Songjiang Prefecture flee here every year, and soon Zeng Guosun gathered more and more people, and he recruited some people to become the new head of the family here after many battles.
Zeng Guosun was cautious and cautious, he arranged sentries around Fengchidu, and every year the officers and soldiers chased him with his family and backbone luckily dodged, and now Zeng Guosun's popularity in this area of water is getting bigger and bigger, and the relationship is getting wider and wider, earning a nickname of "water grasshopper".
Zeng Guosun is different from the original boss, he has a good relationship with all the water thieves in the Huangpu River, he is more reputable, he does not take the initiative to provoke anyone, he never robs all the ships and caravans of officials, and even has a good relationship with many small merchants in Songjiang Prefecture. Slowly, he already has more than 20 boats in Fenglingdu, which can be regarded as a good strength in the Huangpu River and Qiantang River basins.
"The master, just now a young man came to our inn, with two horses and goods from Zhejiang traders in the morning, I asked him to stabilize him first, do we want to take him down!" A small leader under Zeng Guosun came to a room in the water village and said to Zeng Guosun.
Although they will occasionally help poor people, they are still thieves in nature, and they will never let go when they encounter fat.
