Chapter Twenty-Four: Stand-in Shen Bottle

The killers surrendered, swords, guns, bows and arrows were thrown to the ground, and they all knelt on the ground, Xiao Ming sent people to look for them, but they didn't find the main culprit Guo Huai, and I don't know how he slipped away.

The captives were all handed over to the officials and soldiers to deal with, Xiao Ming's iron guard battalion didn't want to care about such a thing, it was better to go with the water and let the officers and soldiers take away and ask for rewards, although these killers were killed and captured, completely relying on Xiao Ming's group of ironworks guards, but people were unwilling to take credit, and the officers and soldiers were also happy to receive more military merits.

The wealthy businessman shopkeeper escaped with his life, and was grateful to Xiao Ming, and said some words of gratitude around Xiao Ming, here to organize people to treat the wounded and search for the dead, Xiao Ming pushed Luo Wen out, saying that this time thanks to the timely arrival of the Iron Guard Battalion, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, Luo Wen is the chief officer of the entire Iron Guard Battalion, this time it is indispensable, and everyone praises Luo Wen again.

"Lord Luo's Tiger Armor Guard is really the savior we are waiting for, I can't thank you enough"

"Yes, as soon as the tiger guards led by Lord Luo appeared, the traitors fell in the wind, these guards are really good, they deserve to be called tiger guards"

Luo Wen cautiously replied to these big shopkeepers, he was obviously not good at this, and Xiao Ming looked funny on the sidelines.

"Tiger Guard! Well, this name is the same as I thought, yes, in the future, I will openly call these iron guards of the iron factory Huwei, which is quite stylish! Xiao Ming felt that the name Huwei was okay, especially in today's first actual battle, the performance was okay, and the deterrent effect on others was not small, Xiao Ming felt that it was necessary to expand the Huwei battalion by another battalion, and this batch of semi-militarized armed forces was the guarantee for his future implementation of the plan.

Several of the wounded are more seriously injured, and they have been arranged to be sent to the nearest pharmacy for first aid, and the less injured ones have tiger guards to stop the bleeding and bandage them, and the injuries of their intermediary Zhicong are not too serious, he was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and now he is also bandaged, seeing Xiao Ming coming, Jie Zhicong hurriedly stood up and thanked him.

"Mr. Jie, you don't have to be polite, I have already asked someone to pick up your carriage, and I will send you back to the house in a while, is Miss Su okay?"

Jie Zhicong said: "Thank you for your concern, the big shopkeeper was also frightened, and I just want to go home quickly," Jie Zhicong's face was pale, and he may have lost a little more blood.

Xiao Ming walked towards Su Cai'er, seeing that Su Cai'er seemed to be frightened, and his face was pale behind the black yarn, Xiao Ming comforted a few words, the person who went to look for the carriage in front came back, Xiao Ming felt that it was better to send it in person, so he called ten tiger guards, Rishengchang This time the four nursing home martial artists who came with the car died two of them, and the remaining two were also injured, Xiao Ming arranged for six nursing home martial artists to give Su Cai'er a carriage, and he took four nursing home martial artists to follow behind in the car.

The carriage soon arrived at Su Mansion, and it was also safe along the way, due to a fire in Jinmen tonight, and there was an incident of demon killers, and there were more officials and soldiers on duty patrolling the streets.

After getting off the carriage, Su Fu had his own subordinates drive the car away and take away the injured guards for treatment, Su Caier stood at the door, turned around and said to Xiao Ming: "This time Mr. Meng saved his life, the little girl really doesn't know how to thank her, don't pass it today, and come to the door another day to thank you, right?" "I'm going to go through the door.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Xiao Ming shouted, walked up a few steps and said, "The big shopkeeper, please take a step to speak." ”

Su Cai'er didn't know what to do, but it was not easy to refuse, so the two of them walked forward more than a dozen steps, and the people of Su Mansion obviously knew about tonight's events, but they were not flustered, Su Bi did not come out, and the people stood in the distance and did not come to disturb.

"You're not Su Cai'er, who are you?" Xiao Ming asked in a low voice.

Su Cai'er's delicate body shook ((*^__^*) and slowly turned around, and suddenly grinned and said, "You see it?" How can you tell? ”

How did Xiao Ming see it, it was actually very simple, Xiao Ming had treated her at close range in Su Caier's boudoir, Miss Su's body fragrance made a deep impression on him, just now in the Gaofu Hall, in order to cover Su Caier, Xiao Ming pounced on her, so close, although the girl's body fragrance was attractive, but it was not Su Caier's body fragrance, Xiao Ming guessed at that time that this person was definitely not Su Caier, but he felt that it was not abrupt, and the person who could make Jie Zhicong bow down to his ears and obey his orders must not be low in the Su family, So I didn't ask until now, of course, Xiao Ming's judgment in his heart naturally couldn't be detailed with the woman in front of him who was pretending to be Su Caier.

Xiao Ming snorted and didn't speak, he wanted to hear how the other party answered.

The woman only thought that she had exposed her flaws, and sighed faintly and said: "You guessed right, I am indeed not Cai'er, Cai'er's sister is a hard-working person, she followed her father around at the age of seven or eight, and Cai'er presided over the business a long time ago, but since she was fourteen years old, she had a sudden illness and fell ill. ”

"And who the hell are you?" Xiao Ming asked puzzled.

"I'm Cai'er's cousin, my name is Shen Bei'er!"

Xiao Ming didn't make a sound and continued to listen.

"My cousin and I have looked very similar since I was a child, in fact, this is also inevitable, my mother and aunt are twin sisters, the two are also people with the same fate, my mother and aunt also died early, my father's remarried stepmother Jin is very fierce, and the family can't tolerate me, until my father died, my uncle took me to live for a long time"

Shen Bei'er raised her wrist lightly, slowly lifted the black veil, revealing a face that was very similar to Su Cai'er, in comparison, Su Cai'er looked more soft, and Shen Bei'er's eyebrows had a heroic color, and the biggest difference was that Shen Bei'er had a small red mole on her left cheek.

"Cai'er sister is a talented girl, but also Zhihui smart, but there is a serious disease, at home to take care of the business of the day is not enough, but the entertainment between the merchants is a problem, in order to avoid the suspicion of others, so I often go out on behalf of Cai'er, the last time Cai'er was sick, I was inspecting the weaving workshop for her in Jiangning, I rushed back and heard that you were cured, I heard Cai'er talk a lot of your benefits, I am also very curious, today I saw Mr. Xiao is really a hero, and this time it is equivalent to saving the bottle's life, Richanglong owes you so much. ”

Xiao Ming was still puzzled in his heart, and suddenly remembered what Yang Zhen had said, and suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Your surname is Shen?" Your father is Shen Kuo? ”

Shen Bei'er said strangely: "You also know my father? ”

Xiao Ming said: "Of course, Mr. Shen Kuo is not only now, but also in the next generations, that is a world-renowned scientist, so famous, how can I not know?" ”

Shen Bei'er said gloomily: "Mr. is too famous, my father was an official in his first life, although what he learned in his chest is strange, but he can't be a big man, and finally he writes a book but is poor, and the world doesn't necessarily look at his father to the end."

Shen Kuo wrote the book "Mengxi Writings" in his later years, until his death was unknown, until the Southern Song Dynasty, Shen Kuo's name was more known, judging by the official identity is a common disease in China from ancient times to the present, you are a person who has been demoted and no one will pay attention to you, but his "Mengxi Writings" is really a big bestseller, which includes astronomy, geography and hydrology, medical divination, agricultural mulberry tea and salt, military weapons, all kinds of science and technology, the production and use of various new tools, it is simply all-encompassing, People from all walks of life can find useful knowledge in this book, and although it has been engraved many times, it is still in short supply, so that when the bookstore is not doing well, it will take out the book and re-engrave it for sale, in short, it is not worried that it will not be sold.

But Shen Kuo himself would not have known that hundreds of thousands of years later, he was still so famous, and even used to name an asteroid, and the whole world respected him, even his daughter would not have thought of it.

Xiao Ming's eyes were full of reverence, it didn't seem to be a fake at all, so Shen Bei'er saw that Xiao Ming admired his father so much, and his heart was naturally very moved, and his good impression of Xiao Ming was even closer.

Now that he knows the identity of the family, Xiao Ming can't interrogate anything anymore, and Shen Bei'er was also frightened tonight, Xiao Ming felt that it was not good to make the family miss his deceased father again, so he said goodbye and left...... After watching Xiao Ming's carriage leave, Shen Bei'er did not enter the house, and after watching it for a long time, she suddenly smiled and turned to enter the door......

…… In a tofu workshop near the East Bridge, a group of grizzled people are sitting together, the leader is Guo Huai, when the official army appeared, Guo Huai knew that this time was over, under the martial arts of a few henchmen beside him, sneaked into the courtyard on the side, secretly fled to the lake, forced a sleeping fisherman, rowed to the East Bridge, and then killed the fisherman with a knife, sinking the boat to the bottom of the lake, and several people hid in the tofu workshop as a secret stronghold.

Looking at the six or seven gray-faced subordinates under him, Guo Huai sighed secretly.

"Lord Deputy Banner Envoy, we are now defeated, and I don't know how to explain to Lord Wang Zuo?" One of the men asked.

Guo Huai sneered: "It's okay, although our operation failed tonight, there is another great thing waiting for us to get it!" ”

One of his killers said curiously: "Another great achievement? But I don't know what the deputy flag envoy is referring to? ”

Guo Huai said: "Today's person from the Gu Clan's Refining Workshop who is bad for me and other good things, I think of this person, this person is the person who escaped from my Lin'an Prison in the first place, and this person is the key to my meritorious service." ”

The subordinate said: "Please also ask the deputy flag envoy to explain it to me in detail." ”

Guo Huai said: "This person escaped from prison with another person at that time, this person is An Daoquan, and An Dao has a very precious treasure map of the filial piety king on his body, that is what my god cult dreams of, as long as you catch this person, you can find An Daoquan, at that time, hum!" If I get the treasure map of King Xiao, I can make a great contribution when I wait."

The man at the bottom said: "This is very good, as long as we can make the Lord Wang Zuo not pursue our faults, in this way, we are completely subject to the arrangement of the Deputy Flag Envoy!" ”

……

Xiao Ming came out of the Su Mansion, did not return to the refining workshop, but went to the prefect's yamen to report the news, Guo Huai said tonight, within three days the Demon Sect rebels will attack the city, this matter is not trivial, you must notify the government in advance, Hangzhou City originally did not have many soldiers, if the Demon Sect suddenly attacked the city, the official army was in a hurry, Hangzhou City would definitely be difficult to protect.

Zhao Ting was really shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked people to notify all the officials to come to the yamen to discuss, especially the garrison envoy Chen Luzhang, Zhao Ting did not dare to hold it up, he understood that Chen Luzhang had soldiers and generals, and the defense of Hangzhou completely depended on others, so he specially invited him.

The two generals who came with Chen Luzhang, one is Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen is now very important to Chen Luzhang, and he also came this time, and the other is named Wang Tong, who is also an officer who has fought in the Western Army.

For Xiao Ming's news, all the officials were shocked, because of the loss of Mingzhou and the information that Peng Rufang was killed, they had already obtained it today, but they didn't expect that the Demon Sect would come to attack Hangzhou so soon.

It is said that the Demon Sect is very cruel to the officials, and the family members are also poisoned, so many people want to escape, some want to fight, some want to surrender, some want to run, and the prefect yamen then quarrels, but everyone can't come up with a good way.

At this time, Yang Zhen whispered to Chen Luzhang, and Chen Luzhang proposed several methods, first of all, the whole city was mobilized, and all the things in the weapons warehouse guarding the yamen were brought to armed personnel, especially the equipment to defend the city, and sent people to notify Richanglong, and all the large bed crossbows and crossbow cars they made were requisitioned, and all the militia groups were requisitioned, and all the militia groups were requisitioned, and at the same time, the north gate of Hangzhou City was strengthened, and officials at all levels notified their families, making all preparations, and being ready to flee from the north gate at any time, while sending people to the nearest Luzhou government to ask for reinforcements, and notify the imperial court.

In short, from now on, all the rice and grain, bedding, military uniforms, weapons, armor, and all the materials that can defend the city in Hangzhou will be under military control, and it is estimated that Hangzhou may be chaotic in the next two days.

When Xiao Ming was leaving, he was invited by Yang Zhen and asked him to go to the arsenal of the garrison yamen tomorrow, and wanted to ask him to see the latest configuration of gunpowder, Xiao Mingxin said: "If the gunpowder is usable, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to defend the city of Hangzhou?" So he gladly accepted the invitation.
