Chapter 16 Mo Ming was attacked He was originally a member of the Yamen
The next day, there was a sensation in the county, and the county magistrate died, and ten boxes of gold and silver were found in his home;
The two continued their journey after resting for three days in the county seat, but this time they each rode a horse, no longer on foot.
Walking all the way north, Shen Shimo arrived at the next county seat - the county seat of Youxian County. The two found a large inn to stay in and had dinner in the inn's dining room.
Then they lingered for three days in the restaurant Chating Restaurant, and on the fourth day, the two continued northward, a little far between the two counties, about 200 miles. However, there is a horse to travel, and the two don't think there is any problem.
When he traveled more than 80 miles, Qian Jin suddenly heard a "whooshing" sound from the forest and shouted "be careful".
Arrows flew on both sides, and the two men grabbed their horses, and the horses ran forward quickly, while they took their sabers and watched out for the arrows on both sides. The accuracy of those arrows was so poor that only six arrows flew in front of the two of them and were easily pulled away.
Running less than 20 zhang, there was a group of eight archers in front of 20 zhang, riding horses and holding bows and strings, slowly walking towards the two people; looking back, there was also a group of people riding horses and holding bows and strings towards the two people, and there was the sound of rustling on both sides of the road.
Qian Jin shouted, "Fight quickly." Qian Jin held the knife in his left hand and continued to move forward; when the second wave of bows and arrows came, Qian Jin pushed away the bows and arrows that were shot at him, and the people had already reached the three zhang of the archery team; those archers saw that the bows and arrows did not work, and the people had already arrived in front of them, with the bows on their backs, ready to take their swords. At this time, Qian Jin flicked his right hand, all the darts flew out, and the five people immediately fell to the horse. He took the knife in his right hand and rode towards the remaining three people, and when he reached the man on the far right, the man had just raised the knife to his chest, and Qian Jin wiped it directly at his neck; at the same time, he turned the horse's head and ran towards the two people on the left, who had just raised the knife to the neck, and Qian Jin slashed straight at the abdomen of one of them, and then slashed at the back of the head of the other with a backhand.
Flew down to the ground, picked up a bow, and shot an arrow at the archer on Xiao Nian's side, five arrows in a row, shooting down the five people in front of Xiao Nian;
The two of them quickly picked up their darts and flew into the woods on the side of the road, Qian Jin took a bow and twenty arrows, and gave all the darts to Xiao Nian.
The people of the woods were running in this direction, unaware that the archers had been wiped out by both of them.
Qian Jin held his bow, and when he saw a person, he pulled the string once until no one appeared again, and crossed the official road, looking for the archers in the woods.
Shot straight at three, and the rest had been killed by Xiao Nian.
The two of them began to clean up the battlefield, not looking for their gold and silver, but to see what kind of people they were, but unfortunately there was no one alive, and no valuable clues were found.
Xiao Nian smiled and said, "Brother Jin, it seems that we have to leave a living voice in the future, otherwise we will be attacked in a daze and kill thirty-two people in a daze." ”
"Yes, but in battle, it is all about killing with one blow, so as not to be plotted; Nian Mei, have you found out, they are all people who often use knives, and they don't use many arrows. ”
"No matter what they use, it's too simple, nothing profound, and it's all done with one cup of tea. ”
"That's because you're so much better than them, and they're no threat at all. ”
The two men got on their horses and continued to go north along the official road, this time the battle would not exceed a cup of tea, which was equivalent to resting the horse's legs; at the end of the afternoon, the two arrived at the county seat of Qixian. found an inn and booked a room, washed up, stored the horses, and then the two found a restaurant to eat Chinese food.
Qixian County is still relatively wealthy, whether it is food, clothing or housing, it is more upscale and luxurious than other counties, which triggers Xiao Nian's desire to buy; looking at Xiao Nian's eyes with Venus in his eyes, Qian Jin reminded her that this place is far away from home, and she has to go out to travel; Xiao Nian gave up, but at night, as if he wanted to get compensation from Qian Jin, the more he fought, the more brave he became, but Qian Jin took out the ability of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and finally attacked Xiao Nian again and again begging for mercy, and was washed up into the sky several times and dragged back to the ground.
Xiao Nian said that since you can't buy anything, you have to eat all the specialties here, and there is no time limit for traveling anyway.
The two of them kept wandering around the streets, turning around every street and even the alleys. As he approached the edge of the city, Qian Jin found a blacksmith shop with a few knives and swords hanging on the wall, and couldn't help but walk in.
A middle-aged man greeted him, "Guest officer, what kind of weapon do you want to fight?"
"I want to fight the dagger, can you do it?" After speaking, he took off the sword on the wall and admired it, and tried it, and the quality should be quite good.
"Yes, we can fight many kinds of weapons here, and if the guest officer asks for it, then we can also build it according to the guest officer's request. ”
"Then make four daggers and four swords, when will you be able to get them?"
"Don't you have any requirements from the guest officer? We have a lot of styles here, and the guest officer can refer to them. ”
After that, he turned around and entered the inner room, took out a large booklet, and handed it to Qian Jin; Qian Jin opened it and saw that there was a sword drawn on the first page, and a sword on the second page; after turning over the album, there were really eighteen kinds of weapons in it, and there were several kinds of everything.
Qian Jin chose a dagger and a sword and pointed it out to the middle-aged man, and Xiao Nian also chose a style after carefully comparing all the shapes of the dagger and the sword.
"Guest officer, your four daggers and four swords will take two months to get them, but you must pay half of the deposit first, totaling six hundred taels of silver, and pay three hundred taels first. ”
"Alright, we'll pick it up in two months. ”
"Guest officer, I want to remind you, don't walk on the street with weapons, otherwise the government will come to investigate. ”
"Why can't you walk down the street with weapons, and what about your shop?"
"It's an extraordinary time, and I heard that more than 30 people were killed in the government a few days ago, and not a single one was left alive. ”
"How did you get to the official mansion? Did the official also be killed?"
"The officials in the county government were not killed, but a lot of them died quickly, and the officials also died a lot. ”
"How did so many people die?"
"I don't know, but it's strange for all of us. Now the family members of the group of arresters and officials are crying in front of the county government, saying that they want the county government to give an explanation. ”
"I think your county is very rich, and the food, use, clothing, and housing are very high-end and luxurious. ”
In fact, the rich are also the rich of those in the yamen, and those high-end teahouses, restaurants, and inns are all run by people in the yamen; we ordinary people are not bitter and honestly earn money by handicrafts. ”
Just after the unitary hour, Xiao Nian stayed in the inn, and Qian Jin went out and touched the county office; after searching for a few houses, Qian Jin found that there were several officials in a room discussing together.
"Alas, what should I do now, this Zhao Zhukuai and Liu Yashi have relatives who are on an errand in the state capital, and they are all the people in charge, if they are investigated, how can we stop them?"
"According to the report, this time it should have encountered a hard idea, and the time between them was very short, no more than a stick of incense. ”
"I don't think you should do that kind of thing in the future, although everyone can get some silver, it is not a long-term solution, and it will eventually be known by the people. In half a year, we only took thousands of taels of silver, but we killed hundreds of merchants, and we lost a lot because of a small loss. ”
"I think too, we can't do anything like this anymore, and we have a lot of mouths, so stop it while no one doubts us yet. ”
"Then let's stop, we will increase the intensity of taxation, and the loss outside the embankment will be compensated for by the embankment, and we will not be able to lose our own income. ”
When Qian Jin heard it, good guy, it turned out that the government directly organized people and horses to rob, and also organized paramilitary forces to carry it out, no wonder those people still have a certain level of cooperation.
He floated into the house, cut his throats, and then took a sword from the wall, stained it with some blood, and put it in the hands of the last man. Turn and leave.
When the two of them wandered around the street the next day, they found that many teahouses and restaurants were closed, and notices of closure were posted on the doors. The two of them walked into a teahouse, which was already overcrowded, and finally found a small table, ordered the best pot of tea, and began to taste it slowly.
"Shopkeeper Cao, why are all those teahouses closed today?"
"Their bosses all died last night. ”
"Did a lot of people die?"
"Only Liu Zhutou is still in charge of the high-ranking officials, and the others are gone; ”
"How did you die? Why did you die together?"
"Some people say that it was killed by Li County's order, and some people say that it was blamed on Li County's order after the master killed it, but I don't know. ”
"Well, they're all good people. ”
"Yes. I went around several other counties in the surrounding areas, but only our county had the lowest level of taxation, only 90 percent of the others, and the public order situation was also better than that of others, and there was no phenomenon of forced buying and selling. ”
"I heard that a few days ago, more than 30 people died in the county government, some of them were arrested, and some of them were servants, and now the state has sent people to investigate. ”
"So many people, why did they all die all at once?"
"That's right, they all have a few hits, it's hard for them to be slaughtered without moving. ”
"Some people say that many merchants have disappeared in our county, have you ever heard of such a thing?"
"I haven't heard of this, how can it not be seen? The merchant went out with at least four or five people. Is it impossible? ”
"Is it what's wrong? What can't be? I won't say anything about it. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, you can't say it, you can't say it, you can't say it;
"This guy is headless and brainless...... Ah, everyone, Zou is going first, farewell!"
