PS: Thanks to book friend Cao Gen Dang Cai Cai for the tip!
"Report to the official?" The young and strong man grinned and said, "Okay, if you have the ability, just go and report to the official. I'm not afraid that you won't dare to go."
Shopkeeper Tong's heart sank when he heard this.
He knew in his heart that the two strangers who intercepted him should know his identity, otherwise they would not be so unscrupulous.
Thinking of this, he looked at the strong young man in front of him and said, "Who are you? Are you the Jin Yiwei?"
Apart from Jin Yiwei, he could not think of anyone else in the Ming Kingdom who could detect his identity.
"Jinyiwei?" The young and strong man shook his head and said, "We are not the trash like Jinyiwei."
There was no concealment of contempt for Jin Yiwei in his tone.
The famous Jin Yiwei may have been the most powerful spy in the Ming Dynasty. Today, apart from making money, the Jin Yiwei are also fighting among themselves. There are few people who can do things seriously.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that such a Jin Yiwei was a waste in the eyes of the people from the Tiger Character Banner Foreign Intelligence Bureau.
As long as Jin Yiwei spends more energy on his duties, he will not let slave spies from Liaodong be placed everywhere.
Shopkeeper Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you Jinyiwei?"
I thought the person who discovered my identity would be a Jin Yiwei, but I didn't expect that the person in front of me was not a Jin Yiwei at all.
This made him secretly relieved.
As long as it's not Jin Yiwei, everything can be discussed, and maybe we can leave safely from the hands of these two people.
"If we were Jin Yiwei, you would have been dug out by our people long ago. How could we have allowed you to hide in Xuan Mansion for so long." The strong young man curled his lips.
The Jin Yiwei gang had no idea that the Xuan Mansion hid so many spies for slaves and thieves.
Shopkeeper Tong was moved when he heard this.
From the words of the other party, he could tell that these spies from Liaodong had long been discovered by the people in front of him.
It also made him understand that the two people who blocked him should come from a force that did not belong to the Ming Dynasty.
This made him feel both happy and sad.
He was happy that the other party was not from the imperial court, but worried that he did not know the origins of these two people and could not predict what they were going to do to him.
At this time, another man said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense and get rid of him quickly."
Shopkeeper Tong's expression changed.
"Who are you? We have no grievances. Why do you want to kill me?"
He would not be surprised if someone from the Ming court killed him, but the two people in front of him were obviously not from the court.
The young and strong man grinned and said with a smile: "The blame is on you for not coming to Xuanfu. If you were hiding in Liaodong, our brothers would have no chance even if they wanted to kill you."
As he spoke, he took out the dagger and held it in his hand.
"Since you are not members of the imperial court, why do you need to work for the imperial court? Why don't you join us at Dajin? You will be promoted to a higher position in the future." Shopkeeper Tong advised.
At the same time, he slowly leaned towards the wall on one side and looked at the two people on the left and right with a wary expression.
"Don't talk nonsense to him and do it." Another man held a dagger in his hand and slowly approached Shopkeeper Tong.
The young and strong man also held a dagger and stepped closer to Shopkeeper Tong in front of him.
"You two, even if you want to kill me, let me know who you two are?" Shopkeeper Tong said with his back against the wall, pretending to be helpless.
To this day, he doesn't know who the other party is and why he intercepted him here.
"When you die and go to hell, go ask the King of Hell!" The young and strong man rushed forward suddenly and stabbed shopkeeper Tong with the dagger in his hand.
Shopkeeper Tong's body suddenly rolled to one side, and at the same time, a short knife appeared on his right hand and slashed horizontally on the strong young man.
Ding!
The crisp sound of metal collision reached the ears of the three people.
The young and muscular man lowered his head and glanced at his lower abdomen.
I saw a cut in the clothes there, revealing the dark armor underneath.
Shopkeeper Tong, who was hiding aside, saw that the young and strong man was wearing armor, and his expression immediately changed.
According to his plan, he would first use words to make the two people in front of him relax their vigilance, and then take the opportunity to make a sneak attack and kill one of them. When there was only one person left, even if he was defeated, he would still be able to escape with great confidence.
Everything was going smoothly, but I never expected that the other party was actually wearing armor.
As a result, the area where the short sword in his hand can hurt the opponent will become limited. Originally, one person would suffer when facing two people, but now that the opponent has worn armor, the gap between the two sides has widened even further.
"Damn it, it's a good thing I'm wearing a breastplate, otherwise I'd really be in trouble this time." The young and strong man felt frightened.
If it weren't for the breastplate protecting his vitals, even if the knife he just struck could not kill him, it would definitely severely damage his strength, and he would most likely end up in the hands of the slave thief in front of him.
"Stop talking nonsense and deal with him first." Another man said, and then rushed towards Shopkeeper Tong.
The young and strong man grasped the dagger tightly and jumped towards Shopkeeper Tong in front of him.
"You are from the Tiger Flag!" Shopkeeper Tong suddenly exclaimed.
The soldiers and horses wearing the most breastplates are the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag. When I heard the word breastplate, I immediately thought that the two people in front of me were from the Tiger Flag.
At this time, everything was figured out by him.
All the big gold spies lurking in Xuanfu were killed in the house, and all of this was inseparable from the Tiger Flag.
It's just that he couldn't understand why the people of Daijin would kill him, a spy of Daijin, since they, Daijin, had never offended Tiger Character Banner.
Unfortunately, the two people from the Tiger Flag had no intention of explaining anything to him. What greeted him were two daggers exuding coldness.
Poof!
The dagger was inserted into Shopkeeper Tong's chest.
Although he tried his best to dodge, facing two men who were equally strong in martial arts, he only managed to dodge one dagger, but the other dagger still did not dodge.
"Why, why!" Blood spilled from the corner of Shopkeeper Tong's mouth, his eyes fixed on the owner of the dagger stuck in his body.
"Go and ask the King of Hell why!"
The young and strong man pulled out the dagger, turned over his hand and used the dagger to slash across Shopkeeper Tong's throat.
Blood spurted out.
Shopkeeper Tong made a coughing sound in his mouth, his body twitched, and finally he was motionless, with only a pair of eyes still open.
The young and strong man leaned down and groped for a while on the top of Shopkeeper Tong's head. Finally, he pulled off the hat on his head and threw the hair aside.
At this time, look at Shopkeeper Tong.
The top of his head is completely bald, with only a thin braid on the back of his head.
Then the young and strong man felt the pulse of shopkeeper Tong with his hand, and wiped the blood on the dagger with his clothes.
Standing up, he said to the other person beside him: "Let's go! It's been solved."
The two men left the alley where they killed the slave thief.
Things like this are happening not only in Xuanfu, but also in some surrounding side piers.
The corpses of slaves and thieves were thrown into the streets, alleys, and even somewhere outside the city.
