Chapter 43: Forced Killing
A caravan appeared in front of him, Su Ming saw that there were more than 30 caravans in the caravan, and there were more than 100 soldiers in the escort team, it must be a big force to have such a strong strength, he originally thought that this team was tracking that person by himself.
However, Su Ming clearly saw that the person was following behind this team and talking to him for a while, this team seemed to be a little resistant to him, seeing this, Su Ming felt that this person should be seeking refuge.
Afraid of losing this person, Su Ming quickly stepped forward, and a group of soldiers rode towards him.
"What are you doing, hurry up and retreat, or I'll give you a good look." The cavalry blocked his way and reprimanded.
Su Ming didn't dare to clash with them, so he walked to the side of the road and stayed away from this team, and the person he was chasing was finally driven out by this team.
Su Ming didn't know that today's small episode had laid the groundwork for the future of Erweibao, and he watched his pursuers leave the caravan and enter a path on the left, and he followed.
This person's physical strength is indeed good, and Su Ming's physical strength is better than him, the two of them walked to dawn one after the other, and then walked from another path to a small road to the south, and by noon they had walked more than fifty miles.
The person in front of him finally couldn't walk, there was a big road in front of him in the southwest direction, and Su Ming felt that this road should go to Songjiang City.
The other party couldn't walk, and Su Ming didn't chase him, he wanted to find the team behind this person, know who the other party was, and then cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
After more than a quarter of an hour, a team came from the northeast, and it was strange to see that there were about 7 or 80 people in this team, and there were less than 10 guards among them.
The people who Su Ming was tracking saw this caravan from a distance and met it, and this caravan didn't even have the slightest intention of stopping him, Su Ming knew that his target had been found.
Su Ming checked that the rifle was full, filled the two reserve magazines with bullets, he put on his helmet and did not equip the rifle with a quadruple mirror and a muffler, and walked towards the caravan with his gun.
The person who was being chased by Su Ming just now came over with 2 guards in cloth armor, and there were more than a dozen coolie workers behind them, Su Ming saw that there seemed to be only two archers in the caravan, and he had no intention of shooting at himself at this time. He waited until he was only ten paces away from the other and shot one of the guards in the forehead.
Unable to help the other caravan be frightened, Su Ming came to take revenge today, he quickly swept down all the coolies who shot at him, and the remaining soldier was also injured, Su Ming stepped forward and solved it with a bayonet.
Checking that the man he had been chasing had been killed by his own bullets, he saw that the caravan in the distance had panicked.
Su Ming looked at this caravan, and now there were only six armored guards left, except for these guards, the others did not pose any threat to him, as long as he dealt with two archers, he could basically be invincible.
Looking at the six guards, who were actually gathered in a carriage and did not move, Su Ming knew that the person in charge of this team was in this carriage, and this transaction should be in this carriage.
Someone in the caravan rushed ordinary coolies to attack Su Ming, and these coolies trembled their legs and did not dare to move forward, just now more than 10 people held on to Su Ming's gun for less than ten breaths, and they were not killed when they went?
Su Ming was about to change the magazine, anyway, the six guards couldn't come, these ordinary people had no threat to him, and suddenly thought that he had accumulated a lot of grenades, and now he must have the best effect on them, so he took out a grenade from the warehouse of the coast guard ship and put it on the launcher.
Look at the distance of the six guards, about 300 meters away, which is completely within the kilometer range of their own grenades, one aim fired directly.
An explosion sounded, and Su Ming saw the grenade explode at a distance of one kilometer on the side of the carriage, two guards were injured and fell to the ground, and the horses of the carriage were also injured, kneeling on the ground and neighing.
The caravan didn't dare to approach Su Ming after hearing the explosion, they watched Su Ming take out another grenade and put it on the launcher to fire, this time the grenade exploded on the other side of the carriage, three guards were blown down, and there seemed to be people injured in the carriage.
"Kneel and don't kill!" Su Ming shouted softly, these people hurriedly knelt down, in their hearts Su Ming was much more scared than the cruel wolf, they didn't see him actually use that small fire to fire cannonballs, how could they resist.
Su Ming saw that the coolies around him knelt down, changed a new magazine, retracted the grenade launcher and walked towards the carriage. The uninjured archer shot an arrow at Su Ming, who had already been staring at him and easily dodged the arrow.
There were a few people next to the carriage who were not wearing armor, and they saw Su Ming rushing over with weapons, and Su Ming waited for them to get close and there was a burst of shooting. In the distance, the coolies who originally remembered to attack Su Ming saw that they were all honestly kneeling down and didn't dare to move.
Su Ming approached the carriage, and seeing that no one dared to come up again, he shot the archer in the head, and then shot and killed all the wounded guards, at this time a young man in silk jumped down from the carriage and knelt directly in front of Su Ming.
"Master, don't kill me, I am from the Li family in Songjiang City, as long as you don't kill me, our Li family will give you whatever you want." The young man knelt in front of Su Ming and said while trembling.
The young man knelt down and got out of the car, one of them looked like a housekeeper and was wearing fine cloth clothes, and the other was also wearing brocade clothes, and they should be the sons of the Li family like this young man.
"The Li family?" Su Ming was very surprised when he heard this, it turned out to be someone from the Li family, and they would actually stretch out their hand to Erweibao, so they couldn't blame Su Ming.
"Which of you is in charge?" Su Ming looked at the three kneeling people in front of him and asked.
"My eldest brother, he has been killed by you!" The young man pointed to the bloody man in the carriage and said, only to see a piece of shrapnel directly into his neck, and the carriage was full of blood, which was really terrifying for people who had never seen blood.
"And who should be in charge here?" Su Ming said as he came to the carriage, took out a box from the dead man's arms, and opened it full of gold and silver.
"Hint: Gold and silver are found to be absorbable, do you want to absorb them?"
"Absorption." Su Ming meditated in his heart, and saw that all the gold and silver in the box disappeared, he closed his eyes and entered the sea of consciousness, and saw that the silver taels on the coast guard ship showed 1428 taels, considering the purity of this gold and silver, the Li family's harvest this time should be between 1500 taels and 1700 taels, which is really not much.
The brocade worn by these two young masters together is more than 100 taels, and 1500 taels may be to make a good dress for everyone in the family, and this smuggling should not be the main income of the Li family's business.
"Master, I... I can represent that as long as you don't kill me, you can do whatever you tell me to do. This young man looked about the same age as Su Ming, and said tremblingly.
"I'm not going to kill you, tell me why you're so guarded." Su Ming guessed that this boy might not know that he was from Erweibao, how could Erweibao produce such a powerful character, otherwise how could he be so poor.
"Back to the master, we found the caravan of the second Weibao of the Jinshan Guard Salt Institute last night, and the housekeeper had to let the captain of the guard attack and kill them, we sent 36 guards over, and they would have followed quickly after they succeeded, but they didn't come back for so long, and it is estimated that they were delayed by something.
Don't worry, even if our guards come back, I won't deal with you, it's all this dog thing, I said don't send the guards out, he just won't listen. The young man looked at the butler beside him and reprimanded.
The housekeeper bowed his head and didn't dare to speak, he still didn't know Su Ming's identity, and he wouldn't say anything like the young master in order to survive.
"You say, why are you specifically attacking the Second Castle Caravan?" Su Ming looked at the old butler kneeling at his feet and asked.
"Uhh
"Bump!" Shots rang out, splattering blood on the two brothers next to them.
The two brothers watched Su Ming solve the housekeeper of their own family with one shot, but they couldn't say a word.
"Who of you two knows?" Su Ming looked at the two brothers and asked.
"Don't kill me, the housekeeper found out that Erweibao had changed the goods early, and there were a lot of people in this transaction. This was a little strange, so they kept people watching, and finally they went to the No. 1 trading place to sell salt, which allowed Jing to lead people to attack the Second Weibao caravan..."A young man heard Su Ming's inquiry, and hurriedly spoke, telling everything he could know.
"I also know that the Shen family has communicated to our Li family, don't cooperate with Erweibao, the Shen family's son-in-law has fled back to Jinshanwei, and has already returned to Erweibao..."Another son hurriedly said.
……
The two brothers said a lot, many of which were unfounded, but from the words of the two, Su Ming also knew that the Li family did not think about the disappearance of the dealers with Qiyanbao to Erweibao, and they still didn't know that they were the Shen family's son-in-law as they said, but Su Ming didn't plan to let them go.
"Okay! I rob and never survive, and today I will give you a chance. Hearing this, the hearts of those kneeling on the ground felt a wave of excitement.
"I count to three, and you start to run away, whether you can escape or not is up to you." Su Ming knew that even if he put these coolies back, he might be executed if he returned to the Li family.
The Li family died young master, and more than forty guards died, which was enough to make the Li family's strength drop greatly, how could these coolies have the face to come back alive.
Let everyone escape, give everyone some hope to live, and kill the two sons of the Li family again, I believe that these people have escaped, and they dare not return to the Li family, so that Su Ming's own hope of exposure can be reduced a lot.
Hearing Su Ming say this, the two sons of the Li family were anxious for a while, but they saw Su Ming turn his head and walk north, shouting numbers as he walked.
Seeing this, the two brothers hurriedly got up and fled to the southwest, and the coolies who were kneeling on the ground next to them also got up and ran away when they saw this.
Su Ming counted until 3, he turned his head and saw the horses on the carriage at a distance, he seemed to be about to escape on horseback, Su Ming directly gave him a shot, and the man fell to the ground and had a convulsion and was silent.
Su Ming didn't ride a horse, he stared at the two Li brothers wearing brocade, keeping a distance of about 200 meters from them, if there were coolies who were slow to escape, he shot them directly, and some people fled to both sides of the road to enter the forest, Su Ming also shot and killed, so that everyone could only go on foot to the southwest of the road.
