Chapter 650: Deception (Part II)
"Who am I, isn't it a city...... City Lord, you mean the city lord of the city we were in last time!" Zhou Jiwei said.
"That's right, it's him!" Jiang He said: "Although his face is a little rotten, it is not difficult to recognize!"
"I'll go over right away!" Zhou Jiwei said.
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?" Tong Bao'er didn't know why Jiang He had a contemplative expression, and then asked.
"It's nothing!" Jiang He said: "Let's find a place to settle down first, this city is a big city, you are not in good health now, can you rest more or let you rest more." ”
"That...... Brother Jiang, can't you really let me follow you?" Tong Bao'er lowered her head and said, "I just want to stay by your side......"
"No!" Jiang He said decisively: "Let's go, let's find a place to stay!"
After speaking, Jiang He walked directly to an inn, Tong Bao'er hesitated for a moment, and also followed Jiang He.
As soon as it was settled, Zhou Jiwei appeared, Jiang He asked Tong Bao'er to stay here now, and then went out with Zhou Jiwei.
"What you said is true, is that city lord really dead?" Zhou Jiwei immediately asked.
"Of course it's true, let's go, let's go and see!" Jiang He looked at Zhou Jiwei and said.
"Then Tong Bao'er, she ......," Zhou Jiwei said, glancing at the room.
A smile hung on the corner of Jiang He's mouth: "Don't worry, as long as the two of us are not with her, nothing will happen to her, and besides, I will explain to the boss, let's go, let's go to the city gate to have a look!"
Zhou Jiwei nodded, and the two of them came to the bottom of the city gate, but at this time, both of them deliberately hid their breath, and no one noticed the existence of Jiang He and Zhou Jiwei.
"This ...... Did I do it?" Zhou Jiwei muttered as he looked at the human head hanging from the city gate.
"I don't think so!" Jiang He shook his head and said: "This kind of thing is not something you forced him to do, it was also voluntary for him, he was still smiling before he died, it seems that he does not feel regret for what he did!"
"He did the right thing, but he was going to be killed, what kind of world is this......" Zhou Jiwei said.
"Sin Prison ......" Jiang He said lightly: "This is a prison of sin, and I or you are all locked up here." ”
"The city lord must have descendants, and he must be destitute, if this kind of thing happens, it is estimated that the family property will have to be confiscated!" Zhou Jiwei said.
"You want to help them?" Jiang He asked, looking at Zhou Jiwei.
"Let's make up for it a little!" Zhou Jiwei said: "This matter can't be said to have nothing to do with me, this country can have no conscience, but I really don't want to see that the people in this country have no conscience!"
Jiang He smiled and said, "Things are not as bad as you think!"
After speaking, Jiang He pointed to the opposite side, and sure enough, a child who looked to be seven or eight years old was spitting at the soldier, and shouted in his mouth: "Bad guy!"
"Little bunny, are you tired of it?" said the soldier, trying to capture the child.
"What's the matter, I'm his father, you're going to arrest me!" shouted at the soldier, and the strong man clearly had a knife on his body.
Jiang He estimated that this guy looked like a robber, and he was a family of soldiers and bandits, and generally speaking, these guys would not clash head-on with the government, but today they were unusual, and they actually collided with these soldiers.
"I'm his uncle!"
"I'm his uncle!"
Many of the prime men came forward, apparently they didn't know each other before, and more and more shouting, there were not many troops in the city, and the soldiers did not dare to clash with these people, because they could even recognize that there were also their own family members.
"When it is forced to a certain extent, there will always be resistance!" Jiang He said to Zhou Jiwei at this time: "So it's not as bad as you think, some things will always start!"
"I hope, but I still have to go, anyway, you can do it here alone, right?" Zhou Jiwei looked at Jiang He and said.
"Of course!" Jiang He nodded.
Then Zhou Jiwei didn't say anything, turned around and left, Jiang He looked at the group of people who were making trouble, and left without saying anything, he also wanted to show Tong Bao'er the house in this neighborhood, and if there was a suitable one, he would buy it.
However, after Jiang He and Zhou Jiwei left, the strong man who was originally leading the quarrel suddenly had his throat cut, and then fell to the ground holding his neck, and died in pain after a while.
As for the child who spat on the soldier, he was pierced in the back by a poisonous needle, and after convulsions for a while, he would foam at the mouth and die, and the crowd of troublemakers were all shocked, they didn't expect that in broad daylight, someone would dare to commit murder!
"Did you soldiers do it!"
"You actually dare to kill people, is there any royal law?"
Everyone was excited again, and it seemed that the conflict was about to break out in an instant, but suddenly, more than a dozen people were cut throats and fell down, and the perpetrator of the assailant moved very quickly, and he was still wearing civilian clothes, killing so many people, and no one could see his appearance clearly.
When the soldier saw those who had fallen to the ground, he sneered and said, "Okay everyone, while your lives are still there, go back!"
Those people really didn't dare to speak out, they weren't from here in the first place, they came here to take a look at the body of the city lord, and then left, but they didn't expect things to turn out like this, and they took more than a dozen lives, obviously this matter was not what those soldiers dared, but it was definitely done by people from the government, but everyone had no evidence.
The families of the deceased cried and shouted to collect the bodies of their relatives, but at this time, those soldiers began to grab the bodies, of course, these people died strangely, so the bodies must be snatched back, and these civilians cannot be allowed to carry the bodies to the gate of the government to make trouble.
The conflict between the two sides broke out again, and this time an officer in charge came to quell the incident, the reason is very simple, because there are not many troops in the city, and if a group ** really breaks out, there are not enough troops to suppress it.
Jiang He wandered around the city, always feeling that he was being followed, Jiang He was estimated to be a member of the Imperial Guard, but these guys are quite shrewd now, there is nothing on them that can prove their identity, and they will change people along the way, and they will not follow where there are few people, so that civilians have become a good cover for them.
However, this also made Jiang He very puzzled, how could there be people from the Imperial Guards here? And there were quite a few of them, obviously they were coming for themselves.
It seemed that the other party had gotten his whereabouts in advance, and Jiang He felt as if he had fallen into a scam at this time.
However, before it was time to debunk this scam, after looking at a few houses, Jiang He returned to Tong Bao'er, at this time Tong Bao'er leaned on the side of the bed and looked at the scenery outside the window, Jiang He walked in, Tong Bao'er suddenly said: "Do I want to live here in the future?"
"That's right!" Jiang He nodded and said, "This city is very big, and I will give you a better life!"
Tong Bao'er didn't speak again, and Jiang He didn't know what to say, so he walked out, found the innkeeper, and opened another room by himself.
The next day, Zhou Jiwei came to Jiang He's room early in the morning, Jiang He looked at Zhou Jiwei who broke in, and then said lightly: "Close the door!"
"Oh, you two don't live together!" Zhou Jiwei looked at Jiang He and said.
Jiang He glanced at Zhou Jiwei: "She's in a mood at this moment, take her to see the house today, buy it for her if she likes it, and it can be regarded as a good placement for her, as for her future life, let her live by herself!"
"You guy, it's long overdue to get rid of this burden...... Zhou Jiwei patted Jiang He's shoulder and said.
"By the way, you went to the city lord's house, how happened to their family?" Jiang He asked.
"Sure enough, it was raided, and there was nothing left, those guys are really good at what they do!" Zhou Jiwei said.
"There are even more than a dozen of them in front of the city gate last night, and more than a dozen of the people who made trouble yesterday were assassinated by those guys from the Imperial Guard!" Jiang He said: "Those family members are crying in front of the city gate holding the bodies of their relatives, and they have just been driven away by the soldiers in the morning!"
"The guys of the Imperial Guard are so arrogant, and they kill people directly in broad daylight?" Zhou Jiwei asked.
"Of course, they have a lot of power to execute general-level figures on the spot, and these civilians have no scruples for them. This is a typical reign of terror!" Jiang He said: "It is easy to kill people, but it is difficult to appease the remaining people, you see, this city will have a lot of troubles in the future!"
"Don't talk about this, let's go, call that little guy out, settle her, let's go directly to the imperial capital!" Zhou Jiwei said.
Jiang He nodded, and then there was a sudden sound of gongs on the street.
"Let's let it go, please see it clearly, this wanted criminal, if this woman can be found, the bounty is 10,000!" At this time, a group of soldiers crossed the street, and the leading officer took a portrait of the prisoner and said to the civilians on both sides: "Everyone can see it clearly!"
When Jiang He heard this voice, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and then came directly to the street without waiting for Zhou Jiwei to say anything. Zhou Jiwei was left alone in the room for a long time.
Jiang He squeezed to the front of the crowd and saw clearly the portrait of the officer holding it, which was clearly Tong Bao'er! Jiang He suddenly thought of two possibilities, one possibility was that a member of the Imperial Guard fled that day, and he remembered Tong Bao'er's appearance!
And the other possibility is the last thing Jiang He wants to see.
