Chapter 209: Escape from Death
The coachman was pumping the horse's ass wildly to keep the carriage moving fast, and at the same time he thought to himself, I can't just be at the mercy of this old fellow, I should first force him to promise to compensate me for my losses, otherwise after a while, if this old guy doesn't admit it, what can I do with him? After all, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and when the time comes, he will beat me upside down, saying that I ran away for myself, and the whole thing has nothing to do with him, so I will have a hard time arguing.
Thinking of this, while driving the car, he said angrily to Laifu behind him: "I am unlucky to save you, I can't say if I can save my life now, even if I can escape death in the end, my loss is also great."
My horse has been in use for eight or nine years, and he is in the prime of life, and now he is forced to run at such a fast speed, how can the horse stand it? Even if the horse can save a life after this incident, it will be wasted, and it will be difficult to help me pull goods in the future.
And my carriage can't stand such bumps, and it is a blessing in misfortune that I can hold on to it until now and not fall apart.
And all these losses are due to you. ”
Obedient and cunning like a jackal, Laifu had already heard the coachman's true intentions, and he could have easily dealt with the coachman, using all kinds of means, and refused to compensate him for his losses, but in this dangerous situation, he could not do so, because once he cheated, once the coachman struck, he would have only a dead end.
"Big brother, I know your difficulties, and I also understand that I have caused you a lot of trouble, so let's do it, I will compensate you for all your losses, how many taels of silver do you need, you directly make a price, I will never bargain."
The coachman originally thought that judging from Laifu's dress, he was at most a descendant of a rich family, and the family must not have much money, and it must be very difficult to squeeze some oil and water from him, so he was ready to be rejected, and planned to bargain with Laifu.
It's just that to the chauffeur's great surprise, the old guy he saved was very conscious, and when he didn't mention asking him to compensate for his losses, he saw through his intentions and took the initiative to promise to compensate himself.
After all of a sudden, the coachman's shaking whip no longer had any scruples, and he frantically whipped on the horse's back, and the horses that could not bear the pain could only be walked by galloping forward.
After the carriage accelerated again, it brought up a puff of smoke and dust, completely throwing away the Zhou family people who were chasing behind.
Seeing that the carriage in the smoke and dust was about to disappear, the chasing people all stopped in despair, stood in place and breathed heavily, they all knew in their hearts that this operation to hunt down Laifu had failed.
Unless someone could fly at this time, it would be impossible to catch up with the speeding carriage.
"Laifu's dog life is really too big, so he actually let him run away!"
"It seems that this old boy has long been ready to retreat, no wonder he dares to have the courage to slander our young master."
"It's really damning."
The people who were tired and out of breath couldn't get rid of the anger in their hearts, so they could only open their mouths and scold Laifu.
In the crowd, the two subordinates who beat up Laifu just now were already crying in despair, because the two of them knew in their hearts that if they couldn't catch Laifu, Zhou Zhou Ming would definitely not be able to spare the two of them, and the new and old accounts would be counted together, and they would have to bear the mistakes made by Laifu, and they would be punished for several crimes, and whether the two of them could see the sun tomorrow was an unknown.
The two of them glanced at each other, asking each other what to do, although both of them knew in their hearts that escaping at this time was the only way to survive, but neither of them had the courage to do so, after all, Zhou Ming's martial arts cultivation was so high, and running away under his nose was tantamount to killing himself.
Just when the two of them were frowning and worrying about what to do, Zhou Zhou Ming walked over.
"Young master, the minions should be damned, let this kid escape!"
The subordinates were afraid that Zhou Zhou Ming would blame them, so they hurriedly admitted their mistakes and begged for mercy.
"I don't blame you, this old boy is too cunning, he prepared the carriage in advance, how can he catch up with your feet." Zhou Ming said lightly, "But it's not so easy for him to escape in front of my eyes."
Come with me! ”
After Zhou Zhou Ming said this, he urged his vitality, and then chased after the carriage like a gust of wind.
By the time the people reacted, he was gone, and they looked in the direction of the carriage's escape, only to find that he had chased him to a distance of only fifty paces from the carriage.
Everyone exclaimed: "Oh my God, the young master is really a god!" ”
Everyone didn't have time to think about it, so they hurriedly chased after it, for fear of delaying their young master's arrest plan.
The coachman thought that the speed of his carriage was so fast, he must have gotten rid of the pursuit of those people, but he still did not dare to relax in the slightest, after all, he was careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, he could mix in this business for so many years, and he had never encountered danger, relying on the word caution.
He still waved his whip frequently, not daring to let the speed of the carriage slow down, and at the same time, he kept thinking in his heart how much money should he ask the old fellow for.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed by, and before the coachman could react, the horse that was galloping at great speed suddenly took off on its front legs and stood up, and the carriage also stopped.
Because the carriage was moving so fast just now, that when it stopped, the huge inertia caused the carriage to jolt violently, and the rifles in the carriage churned for a while, and he was almost not killed.
"Big brother, how did you get the car? Almost fell to my death! Although Rifle did not dare to reprimand the driver loudly, he still complained.
The coachman sitting in front was also confused, he had been a coachman for so many years and had never encountered such a situation.
He hurried to tighten the reins, trying to clean up the horse with a whip so that it could continue on its way.
But when he pulled the reins, he felt that something was wrong, and he glanced to the side, and was immediately shocked, and he saw a man, standing beside the horse, holding the reins in his hand, firmly controlling the horse, making it difficult for it to move.
This person is none other than Zhou Ming.
The coachman didn't recognize Zhou Ming's identity for the first time, he just thought that this person was too powerful, and actually forcibly pulled the reins of the horse and stopped the carriage during the rapid movement of the carriage.
It's just that the coachman was in a hurry to escape for his life at this time, and he didn't have time to admire Zhou Ming.
He stared at Zhou Ming with an angry face on his face, and yelled: "Boy, you don't want to die? Let go, don't delay my big thing! ”
Zhou Zhou Ming smiled slightly, and with a force in his hand, he snatched all the reins: "If you can explain the relationship between you and the person in the car, I can spare your life, if not, it will be like this horsewhip." ”
As soon as Monday finished speaking, before the coachman could react, he suddenly snatched the horsewhip in his hand, and then divided it by two with three strikes and five times, and destroyed it into crumbs with yuan force.
The coachman was shocked, knowing that he had encountered a ruthless character today, and if he was a little careless in his next response, he might never be able to return home.
He turned over and got out of the carriage, knelt on the ground and kowtowed like garlic: "This uncle, I have nothing to do with the person in the car, I just saw him lying on the ground when I passed by the door, and listened to his rhetoric, so I relented for a moment and rescued him into the car, as for what grievances there are between you, I really don't know at all."
If you want to arrest him, even if you do it, I will never spread this matter, so please raise your noble hand and let me go.
I'm just a stinky cart puller, and I don't have any money with me, and my family is all counting on me to feed them. ”
The coachman has rich experience in the rivers and lakes and has a strong survival instinct, and the series of reactions he makes, as well as the words he says, even if he encounters a gangster who is roaming the rivers and lakes, he may save his life.
After all, those robbers who rob homes and houses are also unprofitable, and they can't squeeze a little oil and water, and they don't bother to ask for your life.
Laifu, who was covered with injuries, was already dying, but after the violent jolting of the carriage just now, his injuries were even more serious, and he almost didn't catch his breath and died violently on the spot.
After he eased up a little, he noticed that the carriage had stopped, and he immediately realized that it was not good, for fear that he would be caught up by the Zhou family, so he hurriedly poked his head out of the carriage shed and asked the coachman: "Big brother, why did you stop?" We're not out of danger yet, this isn't a place to stay for long, you let ......"
At this point, he saw the scene in front of him clearly, and saw the coachman kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to people one by one, and standing in front of him was a handsome boy.
After recognizing the identity of this son, Laifu trembled and said, "Young master......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was so frightened that he fainted.
At this time, those subordinates who followed Zhou Ming behind them finally caught up, and when they saw the coachman kneeling on the ground, they gritted their teeth with hatred, after all, the carriage he drove just now almost exhausted them to death.
The crowd couldn't help but say, and stretched out their hands to beat him violently.
The coachman was so frightened that he lay on the ground and covered his head, thinking that this time he might not be able to escape.
"Stop, everybody! Laifu is in the carriage, you take him back to the house quickly, and as for this coachman, leave it to me to deal with!" Zhou Ming opened his mouth to stop everyone from hurting innocents.
Although the subordinates were angry, they did not dare to disobey Zhou Ming's order, so they could only obediently walk away from the coachman, and then pull out the rifles in the carriage.
When they saw that he was unconscious and scarred, they knew that he would not be able to walk, so they chose a few young and strong men and carried him back.
Zhou Zhou Ming stood in front of the coachman and asked, "That old guy, how did you talk to you just now?" Tell me more about it. ”
