Chapter 7: A Nest of Snakes and Rats
In front of the government office, the drum of redress of grievances sounded for a long time, and no one watched for half an hour.
The county magistrate smiled and said, "My lord, there is no grievance in the locality, if you are tired, you can rest for a while." ”
Chu Tianxing glanced at him: "In that case, you come to knock until someone comes and tells me." ”
"Me?"
"Is there something wrong?" Chu Tianxingjian glared at him with raised eyebrows, and the county magistrate was so frightened that he took the drum and hammer and beat it vigorously there.
When the people saw the county magistrate beating drums and shouting grievances, they all gathered out of curiosity.
Chu Tianxing saw that the people had almost arrived, and walked out of the palace and said loudly: "This seat is a Jinyi guard personally sent by His Majesty, and he has come here to investigate the grievances. ”
The surrounding people began to whisper, still with worried expressions on their faces, and no one dared to stand up and testify.
Chu Tianxing looked for the Li family's father and son in the crowd, hoping that they could come out to testify.
Li Wenshan walked out of the crowd and said in a low tone: "My lord, we have fine clothes and food here, and the county officials are also well managed. ”
The people around were a little embarrassed, and they all gradually dispersed.
"Old man, don't be afraid, if there are any grievances, this seat can make decisions for you. ”
Li Wenshan said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I know that you are a good person, but I really have nothing to say. ”
"Uncle Li, in the past few days, Shi Lin has taken people to your tavern to make trouble, and he has deliberately hurt people, and this seat was also ...... at that time."
Li Wenshan arched his hand and said: "I owe money to the Shi family, and it is normal for Shi Gongzi to send someone to collect it." ”
Chu Tianxing looked around and didn't see Li Xiao's figure, coupled with Li Wenshan's demeanor when he spoke, he knew that Li Xiao should have had an accident.
Just as he was about to ask, a group of people came running from outside from the northwest and shouted: "The horse bandits are coming!
The county magistrate secretly glanced at him, and said to Chu Tianxing, "My lord, please allow me to wait to arrest him." ”
Speaking of which, even if Chu Tianxing knew that there was a cat in front of the people, he couldn't help but let him go.
Chu Tianxing groaned, "I'll go with you." ”
"With the help of adults, you will succeed immediately. ”
Chu Tianxing flew on his horse and rode first to lead the crowd to the northwest.
Running out of ten miles in one breath, I saw a group of black-clothed men arresting people everywhere from a distance, many people were dead on the ground, and more than a dozen young men and girls in the wooden cage prisoner car were crying.
When the group of black-clothed men saw that a catcher was coming, they flew on their horses and ran away with the prisoner cart.
One after the other, two waves of people ran out for more than two miles, and came to a depression in a dense woods, like a large earth pit, which could not be seen from the outside, and the terrain was low-lying, especially suitable for siege.
The bandits in front of them have dismounted and started a fight, and a bloody battle is inevitable.
Chu Tianxing was far away, and he pounced on the group of horse bandits on his toes.
More than 20 horse bandits were armed with steel knives, and the first five horse bandits raised their knives and slashed, with a knife in the center to take Chu Tianxing directly, and the remaining four knives blocked Chu Tianxing's way, and the rest of the horse bandits were not idle, running to a slightly higher place in the distance and throwing a hidden weapon towards Chu Tianxing.
Chu Tianxing saw that this group of horse bandits was very disciplined, not ordinary bandits, and now this head-on blow could force him into a desperate situation.
Chu Tianxing hurriedly untied the brocade robe on his body, and split the brocade robe into a circle in mid-air to hit the hidden weapon.
The five knives slashed at the brocade robe, and the blade of the awe-inspiring brocade robe was torn into pieces and turned into fragments, but there was no blood, and when the five people were puzzled, a palm poked out of the fragments.
The man in the middle couldn't dodge, and was slapped in the chest, and in an instant his chest collapsed and fell straight down.
Although the other four people were not confused, they were divided into four sides to surround Chu Tianxing in the middle, and the four of them made the Liuhe Sword Technique very tacitly, and they only besieged Chu Tianxing in the middle and did not rush forward, and it was not easy for Chu Tianxing to break through for a while.
As soon as the Liuhe Sword Technique came out, Chu Tianxing thought to himself: Sure enough, he is a disciple of Taixiaomen, this Taixiaomen is really not a good thing, and he must eradicate this cult if he has the opportunity.
The catcher behind also arrived, and the catcher shouted: "My lord, we are coming!"
Chu Tianxing was dealing with four people with his back to him, only to feel that there was wind behind him, and he quickly slashed it from behind.
The four horse bandits also pressed forward, and Chu Tianxing's feet spun in mid-air little by little, and the two knives in front and back passed by his side.
Chu Tianxing stepped on the shoulder of one of the horse bandits, jumped into the distance, hid behind a big tree, and asked, "You are really a gang." ”
"Blame, blame you for not being in this business. ”
The catcher made a gesture, and the horse bandit and the catcher quietly gathered behind the tree where Chu Tianxing was hiding.
The head catcher continued to shout: "My lord, if you promise not to take care of our affairs in the future, I will let you live today." ”
Chu Tianxing had already come to the treetops at this moment, and saw that there was another group of people in the distance, and he saw that it was the people of Li Shizhai rushing here.
After Chu Tian walked, Li Wenshan was not idle, although Li Xiao was arrested by the people of Taixiao Gate and threatened him not to make trouble, in the end, Li Wenshan weighed the pros and cons, and decided to help Chu Tianxing, so he took advantage of the opportunity when the horse bandits came to loot, and led a group of people to come on the grounds of searching for survivors.
Chu Tianxing suddenly had a plan and took the initiative to jump into the encirclement of the catchers and horse bandits.
The head catcher thought to himself: This kid is scared stupid, and he wants to fight hard?
A total of nearly forty people from Lian Kuai and horse bandits surrounded Chu Tianxing layer by layer.
Even if his internal strength is profound, his martial arts are also dangerous, Chu Tianxing has won a knife and fought against the group.
The knife came from all directions, Chu Tianxing picked left and right, and he couldn't take him for a while.
One of the horse bandits commanded: "To live, this kid has profound skills, and our master keeps it useful." ”
In this way, the crowd began to change from hunting and killing to attrition, and the attack began to become weak, for fear of killing Chu Tianxing by mistake.
Chu Tianxing seized the opportunity, opened and closed the attack, suddenly carried enough strength, swept over with a knife, and faced four horse bandits, the long knives shattered and the heads flew over, Chu Tianxing held on for a while, the long knife in his hand broke, and with a shake of his hand, he threw the broken knife over, and another horse bandit fell to the ground in response.
The horse bandit who spoke just now was also anxious when he saw the loss of so many men, and shouted again: "Cripple him, just save your breath." ”
Chu Tianxing saw the figure flickering outside the woods, and he also tried his best to deal with the crowd.
"Folks, they're here. ”
"What's going on? Why did the officers and soldiers partner with the horse bandits?"
The boys and girls in the prison car shouted desperately: "They are a gang, save us!"
The noisy shouts were intertwined, and the horse bandits and the catchers were also a little dazed, but they didn't expect this group of people who usually went against the grain to come over this time.
