"Chiang patrols!" More than a dozen soldiers, their faces flushed, walked up to Jiang Tian and shouted loudly like thunder, "Wei Chong has captured Brother Ma and wants to capture Brother Mao. If he continues to push the envelope, everyone in the department will be arrested." Go to jail! Sir Inspector, give the order and lead us to kill the traitor!"
"Yeah, yeah..." hundreds of echoes echoed.
Facing the excitement of the crowd, Jiang Tian was now extremely nervous. Of course he couldn't have a big fight with Wei Chong, but he couldn't pour cold water on his soldiers at this moment, lest he ignite everyone's raging anger.
"Master Jiang, can you give us a way?!" Some people have already rolled up their sleeves and are eager to give it a try.
Jiang Tian hesitated for a moment, then gestured for everyone to be quiet: "Listen to me first."
The soldiers retreated doubtfully.
"Fuck, are you okay?" An impatient voice came from outside the door.
Jiang Tian had no choice but to approach the door and said to the outside: "Secretary Wei, I don't know where this prisoner is hiding. I'll go find him at the right moment. He'll be gone in less than half an hour."
He turned around and walked to the courtyard again, and said angrily: "Our Inspection Department does not raise timid people. If you advance, you must be brave, and if you do, you must fight. You are truly worthy of being Jiang's subordinates! Wei Chong is only a minor official. , you dare to act like this, what do you think of us? It is said that good people are bullied by others, let us be more ruthless and not be so cowardly!"
"Okay!!" The people around were incited, and there were cheers one after another.
"Come on, let's invite Capt. Mao out first and ask for his opinion. We have good intentions, but we don't want to make him feel uncomfortable." Inspector Jiang changed the topic.
Everyone didn't see his true thoughts, so they thought it was reasonable, and went to find Captain Mao in the bedroom.
Captain Mao walked to the courtyard and saw Jiang Tian setting a seat for him in a good manner and putting his cloak on him. He was very puzzled.
"Brother Mao," Jiang Tian started hesitantly, "You should have heard about this?"
Captain Mao was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly replied: "Just now...just now the brothers told their subordinates."
"Then are you willing to risk the fate of the whole company with your brothers and fight against Wei Chong, the traitor who holds the imperial edict?" Jiang Inspector's words already contained some hints.
But Captain Mao obviously didn't understand this sentence. Just when he was about to speak frankly, he suddenly saw Jiang Tian's sparkling eyes: that look was not a command, but a desire, eager for him to deny this method and find another solution. Tao - but at the expense of himself.
The good commander who always loved his soldiers as his son actually expected him to fall into a sea of knife and fire, which made Captain Mao feel mixed in his heart. He looked at the angry and incomprehensible expressions of everyone, and understood that if this situation continued, not only the Inspection Department, but also the entire Nanjing would be swallowed up by the boiling flames of anger.
Captain Mao thought about his family and his future. No matter what, this was a difficult decision.
Jiang Tian put his hands behind his back because his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He looked at Captain Mao again and again, and the sweat on his forehead ran down his cheeks. Fighting on the streets of Nanjing, under the eyes of the emperor... He did not dare to think about it. If Captain Mao agreed, it would lead to an earth-shattering tragedy.
Captain Mao stood up, his cloak slipped from his shoulders, and he looked forward resolutely: "Brothers, it's not worth it to fight against the imperial court for me alone! That's the crime of killing nine tribes, and I won't let you take the blame. Wei Chong is willing to put a knife on my neck, it doesn't matter, everyone can see clearly, sooner or later he will receive retribution and God's punishment..."
The stone in Jiang Tian's heart finally fell to the ground, but he didn't feel happy. He silently picked up the fallen cloak and put it on Captain Mao again.
"hero!"
Inspector Jiang suddenly turned around, gave him a fist, and then knelt down.
"What are you..." Captain Mao tried to help him, but Jiang Tian pushed him away.
"I beg your respects!" Jiang Tian kowtowed heavily, and the heavy sound of hitting the ground resounded throughout the night sky. The soldiers could no longer stop crying. Their tears flowed slowly and solidified in the wind.
People outside were still knocking on the door, but no one could hear. Captain Mao took heavy steps, bowed to Jiang Tian first, and then said goodbye to everyone. He sighed and walked out the door; the figure gradually faded away until the door opened.
"Caught!" Wei Chong gave the order, and the officers and soldiers, with quick eyesight and quick hands, savagely dragged Captain Mao over and strangled their arms together fiercely.
"It's up to Chiang Kai-shek's inspection team to hand over such a traitor. Don't forget to go to the Yamen the next day to collect my silver reward, how about it?" Wei Chong laughed slyly.
"Get the fuck out of here!" Captain Mao almost roared, kicking his legs wildly, trying to knock the little man in front of him to the ground, but he was firmly controlled by the guards.
"Do you want to die?" Wei Chong asked through gritted teeth, then slapped him three times on the face, causing a trace of blood to drip from the corner of his mouth.
"Take him to the cell first and wait for your fate!" Wei Shuban ordered sternly.
"yes!"
The biggest threat, Captain Mao, was eliminated, and the other three seemed to be nothing to worry about. The "big army" commanded by Wei Chong then sneaked into the barracks and captured Secretary Cai; they also stripped off Liu Yamen's official uniform at the entrance of the lobby, and sent him to prison without asking any questions. The only Wang Liangguan is still in the granary, and the journey is longer, so he is regarded as the end of the night.
The lights in the granary were bright, and an officer and soldier walked out of the house. Apart from feeling strong wind, it was no different from the usual night patrol. Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to relieve himself, so he ran to the broken wall and leaned his weapon aside.
The soldier raised his head and saw several black shadows flashing behind the tree, heading towards the warehouse. Before he could identify it, he hurriedly raised the torch and shouted: "There is a thief!"
This sound frightened those black figures. One of the men was so nervous that he simply pulled out his gun and shot the grain soldier in the chest.
Bang!
No one expected the gun to be so accurate. It penetrated directly into the chest of the grain soldier and fell to the ground. Wei Chong, who was hiding behind, was so frightened that he grabbed the man and said, "Why did you beat someone to death?"
Wei Chong's mind was still in a mess when ten or twenty people ran out of the granary, each holding a torch, and the surrounding area suddenly became brighter.
When those people saw the corpse of the grain soldier, without saying a word, they shouted in unison: "Kill the thief!" and rushed at him with their swords.
Wei Chong's officers and soldiers had no choice but to take action. They hurriedly raised their weapons and fought these grain soldiers at close range.
After killing for a while, some grain soldiers looked up and saw Wei Chong's official uniform, and shouted, and then both sides stopped.
Wei Chong walked up to them and saw three or four corpses lying in a pool of blood. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and his eyes were straight. He hurriedly shouted at the grain soldiers and said: "You are going to attack indiscriminately. It's not easy to make such a fuss... ...Collect the bodies quickly!”
