Originally, Xin Jian's attack should have stopped when he reached the grocery store. The workers outside were afraid of the threats from Guang Liang and other supervisors, so they all gave false testimony.
The opium den and gambling hall were also temporarily vacated. Although everyone was suspicious, they were empty after all!
The owner of the grocery store was even more timid. When the gangsters threatened him, he took the initiative to pay the price on the blackboard!
Everything should have ended here, and the killers guarding the night school also breathed a sigh of relief.
But no one thought that Xin Jian was born to be a stubborn donkey! Others don't look back until they hit the wall. He hit the wall and had to knock it down!
There were no witnesses outside, and he actually clamored for his students to be witnesses!
Guang Liang and the others are not afraid, because there are not many night school students, but there are many workers outside who have been intimidated. In the end, they will win in the battle of numbers.
But Guang Liang's thugs don't have such a clever mind!
In the final analysis, it is still a question of education and knowledge. No matter how rubbish Guang Liang’s character is, he is also a domestic slave of Prince Zheng Chengzhi. During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the name slave was not a derogatory term. If someone can say that he is a slave of the royal family on the street, then it is He is like an uncle!
Guang Liang's grandfather and father were both servants of Prince Zheng's palace. He was born into a family, so he was qualified to enter the private school in the palace at a very young age!
Just like the private school in Rong Ning's Second Mansion in Dream of Red Mansions, the young master can go to study, and some respectable slaves can also study!
After all, he will serve the prince in the future, and the prince does not want illiterate slaves. These slaves received a good private school education when they were young and have a high level of education.
In addition, once you have seen it! Can a killer who grew up in the capital be the same as a killer who learned martial arts in the mountains? Following my father in managing the prince's family's property, I came into contact with many different religions and teachings in the capital!
People like Guang Liang, no matter how bad their character is, have indescribable IQ and EQ, as well as the ability to adapt to changing circumstances!
This is the gap. Those killers do not have such insight and knowledge. When they heard that Xin Jian was about to break the pot, the first thing they thought of was not the number of witnesses, not whether the emperor wanted to save face, let alone the factions of ministers in the DPRK. The balance!
They can't think of these things, and they will only use the most reckless method to solve the problem... that is to kill!
Killing and silencing is the top priority of these low-level killers!
Wang Grasshopper and the others had already had knives held to their necks, and these killers had warned them in a low voice that if they dared to make any noise, they would kill their entire family!
How dare six night school workers make a sound! Listening to the quarrel outside, everyone's face turned pale with fright.
On the eaves of the gate, a killer secretly watched outside. He could clearly hear the quarrels outside. When Xin Jian decided to break the pot, he was so angry that he felt evil in his heart and put his hands behind his back. He made a gesture that only a gangster would understand.
Those dozen killers didn't care about human life. Wang Grasshopper and others didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, their throats and hearts felt cold, and the knife pierced them.
And their mouths were still tightly blocked, so no sound could come out!
After the killing, these dozen killers turned around and ran away. According to their previous experience, escaping from such a murder scene would have been no problem at all.
But the rough experience of Jianghu is not easy to apply in this capital! When the iron hoofs of the kidnapping horse began to rumble, the people in the world finally understood what royal authority meant!
Rows of crippled horses were pressing over like walls, blocking all the paths in all directions!
Before the Ouchi guards seized the heights of the rooftops, rifles, pistols, brocade-backed crossbows, guns... various hidden weapons blocked the sky!
There were also crazy new soldiers from the Imperial Forest behind them, chasing them with shining bayonets. Ma Ming and the Sanbao pistols were very accurate, and every shot hit them in the legs!
At this point, all the murder cases in the Jingshi Iron Factory have been revealed!
After Xin Jian heard about the recovery process, he covered his face and cried bitterly, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I regret it so much...I killed the students...wuwu wu...I'm sorry for them!"
Ma Ming looked at Xin Jian who was squatting on the ground in pain. He didn't know how to persuade him. He just felt that his heart was filled with panic, as if he was pressed against a stone!
The Qinghe Iron Works outside the city was busy all night, but it was also a sleepless night inside the capital!
Prince Zheng Chengzhi, Prince Rui Denchang, Duoluo Shuncheng County Prince Chunshan... and some other princes who were not iron hats all gathered at the home of Prince Laoli.
The dry smoke they smoked that night was so strong that it could kill a cow!
"Your Majesty... We've been here for half the night. You have to say something!" Chengzhi couldn't stand it any longer and asked.
"Today's incident was brought about by my slaves, but don't forget that the one the Emperor is impounding is the Chief of the Tenth Route... all your slaves are involved!"
"What do you mean? Are you ready to throw me away? Then you don't care... don't even think about it!"
"If I don't have any good fruits to eat, I will expose all your affairs!"
Prince Zheng Chengzhi stared and began to threaten. Prince Lao Li Shiduo could no longer pretend to be mute. "Hey, hey, hey... OK, what are you talking about? Aren't everyone thinking of a solution?"
"We are all one family, who said that I want to abandon you? Besides, the Qing Dynasty has no precedent of tormenting the master just because of a slave!"
The other princes also echoed, "It's just... the servant does the things, and the servant takes the blame. What are you afraid of?"
"Fart! You are all farting..." Prince Zheng Chengzhi's triangular eyes stood up.
"Is this a matter of one or two slaves? This is money! My slaves took away the blame. Where did the money come from? Your Majesty will settle the people's complaints when the time comes, so you have to use the money to speak!"
"Haha, you are so scheming! My slave took away all the sins and then fined me money? Grandma! Don't even think about it!"
"Everyone sitting here today counts, and all sins must be shared equally!"
"Hey...what are you talking about? It's not our slaves who killed people..."
The room suddenly became noisy, and everyone was anxious when it came to money! At the end of his life, Prince Lao Li took the copper pipe pot and knocked the copper spittoon on the floor!
Dangdangdang...dangdangdangdang...
"What's the fuss about? What's the fuss? Are you being serious? Are we still a family? Look at your potential!"
Being suppressed by Prince Li, these princes shut up in anger!
Prince Lao Li sighed, "I know you all don't obey me, and I can't control you... Let's get up and sit on the sedan... Let's go find someone who can talk!"
"Go to the Fifth Master, our capital's knight-errant king! Now we are counting on the Fifth Master to save you!"
