A burst of random shouts floated over, and the sound was really loud! However, not only did they not scare these Jin Yiwei, but in the eyes of the gentry, these Jin Yiwei actually became a little excited! So they all felt something was wrong!
Sure enough, Lu Hongwei lowered his face and said loudly: "Everyone of them is a traitor, and they can even say such insulting words to the court officials! Ask the strong archers to surround them all, and no one is allowed to escape!"
As soon as the words were spoken, many imperial guards in golden uniforms ran towards the strong archers on the left and right sides and ordered their leaders to lead the men to surround the soldiers in front of them.
After hearing Lu Hongwei's order, the scholars were a little panicked, and there was even a slight commotion in the crowd! But those gentry seemed to have no worries in Lu Hongwei's view, and some of them even had complacent looks on their faces!
Seeing this scene, he knew better! The reason why these strong squads and archers appeared was to become an armed force to maintain local security.
Because the guardsmen were rotten and unfit for use, and the guardsmen belonged to the regular army and could not go out without orders, they were very slow in maintaining local security. However, officers and gangsters can still use it to deal with local gangsters, and they can also be used against smaller bandits. But once a group of bandits appears that are slightly larger or more powerful, they won't be able to use it!
Therefore, governments in various places have funded the recruitment and training of a group of people as a supplement to maintain local security. These people are Zhuangban and archers! However, judging from the finances of the local government, it was definitely beyond the means to maintain a combat-effective team, so the source of funds became part of the government contribution, and the rest was raised from donations among the local gentry.
And in this matter, the local gentry has the highest enthusiasm! Because forming such a team is the most beneficial to protect their own family property, it is acceptable to pay some money. But a side problem is that since I have contributed the money, I have to put some of my people in place so that the gentry can be at the mercy of others!
Therefore, these strong archers are basically the private soldiers of the local gentry, but they are usually assigned by the government, and when they want to use these people, they have to go through the government. Although this is the case, once something happens at home and a strong archer appears, it will always be faster if you have your own people inside!
After seeing the expressions of the gentry, Lu Hongwei raised his eyes and looked at the strong class archers. Sure enough, no matter how much the imperial guards urged, their leaders just shook their heads, and not a single strong class archer came over! This made a sneer appear on Lu Hongwei's lips!
Fortunately, those Jin Yiwei had received the instructions before, and when they saw that they could not move, they just pulled their leaders and walked over. Then a dozen people stood in front of Lu Hongwei. They didn't dare to look at Lu Hongwei. They all lowered their heads, but their attitude was uncooperative!
Lu Hongwei had been staring at them just now, so he directly said to the person with the most decisive attitude just now: "You, raise your head! You should be the leader of the strong class, right? What's your name?"
The man raised his head, looked at Lu Hongwei quickly, then lowered his head, and said in a very respectful manner: "Sir, my name is Wang Jin, and he is indeed the leader of these strong squads!"
Lu Hongwei said: "Wang Jin, I gave you an order before, asking you to surround these scholars. Why did you disobey the order?"
Wang Jin heard that his voice was calm and did not sound like he was angry, so he felt much more at ease! He raised his head and quickly glanced at Lu Hongwei's eyes and face, then lowered his head and said, "Sir, those scholars are all scholars and will be the pillars of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Where can I just arrest them, please think twice!" "
Lu Hongwei said: "It is my business to not think twice! Now I have ordered you to surround them, why are you disobeying the order? Don't you know what is the crime of disobeying the order in the army?" "
Wang Jin apologized and said with a smile: "Sir, we are just a strong squad, what kind of army are we? Besides, those people are all locals. It's really hard to deal with people from the countryside!"
Lu Hongwei sneered and said: "I asked you one question, but you answered me two questions! Well, I will ask the second question first! You said
It’s not easy to start a blind date in your hometown, but I’m asking you, why don’t you arrest someone from your hometown who commits a crime? Then what do I want you strong men to do? Do you have white hair and money so that you can eat and drink for free? "
Wang Jin couldn't hold his head up after what Lu Hongwei said, but he still refused to obey orders. And Lu Hongwei didn't expect that he could convince him with just one sentence, so he continued: "Let's talk about the first question. You said that you are not in the military. The government pays you and you have to practice regularly. This is not the military. Wu people or what? And when I recruited you, I made it very clear that your Shangguan committed a crime, so the Jinyiwei is your Shangguan, and you must act according to the rules of the Jinyiwei! Now I am asking you, I have ordered you to Are you going to round up these people or not?”
This sentence drove Wang Jin to death! Yes, he can't afford to offend those gentry! Especially since he took someone's money last night, it's even harder to do anything! But if you don’t do it, you will be held accountable by Jinyiwei immediately! So now his ideological struggle is extremely fierce!
But in the end, he still felt that what those gentlemen and gentlemen said was more reliable! After all, they are locals and will not leave. And these Jin Yiwei didn't know where they went after finishing their errands, so he decided not to do anything!
So he raised his head and said, "Sir, these scholars really can't be caught! He..."
As soon as he said this, his words turned into a scream! It turned out that Lu Hongwei drew out the Xiuchun knife at lightning speed and stabbed him in the abdomen! Not only did he poke it in, he also twisted his wrist twice, basically messing up the contents of his abdominal cavity!
Then Lu Hongwei pulled out the knife and swung it, and the bloody blade hit Wang Jin in the face, knocking him to the ground! However, Lu Hongwei deliberately targeted Wang Jin's lower abdomen because he didn't want him to die soon! So Wang Jin didn't die even after being stabbed. He was screaming and rolling on the ground holding his stomach! Blood flowed out from the wound, staining a large area red! Judging from his appearance, it will take some time to die, and this period of time will definitely be painful!
