"Even if the emperor comes today, he can't spare your lives!"
How arrogant!
Ma Jiu raised his sword and was about to strike. Jiang Yuntian already held the sword in his hand, and the battle was about to break out——
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The crowd was suddenly pushed aside, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed in. The leading officer was about thirty years old, with an unshaven beard. If he hadn't been wearing armor, he would have been unrecognizable as a general.
"It's Ma Jiuye!"
As soon as the officer saw Ma Jiu, he immediately put on a smile and said, "I wonder who has the ability to cause such a big fight? Why, who has no short-sightedness to make you unhappy today?"
Ma Jiu seemed not to be surprised by these flattery, and used his chin to hook Song Che and Jiang Yuntian, who were opposing each other, "Wu Dujian came just in time, and I will give you a credit today. These two are fellow Japanese pirates, and they were captured by me." It's all right, what do you think?"
Inspector Wu first glanced at Song Che and Jiang Yuntian, then at the people on the street, and finally looked at Ma Jiu and asked, "I wonder how Master Jiu judged that they were fellow Japanese pirates?"
Ma Jiu shook the big knife in his hand, the buckle made a clanking sound, and coldly uttered six words: "I said yes, that's it."
"Uh...yes, yes! I think they also look like fellow pirates."
Wu Dujian waved to the officers and soldiers, "Come on, tie up these two Japanese pirate accomplices and send them to the state government office!"
"Wait!"
Jiang Yuntian made a "stop" gesture to the officers and soldiers, glared at Wu Dujian and reprimanded: "After all, you are also the second-in-command in command of Taizhou's troops, but you humble yourself to a bully. Where is the dignity of a soldier?"
Wu Dujian seemed to be hurt by being stabbed, and couldn't help but cursed: "Who are you? How dare you come to teach me a lesson!"
"Open your eyes and see what this is!"
Jiang Yuntian took out an ultimatum from his arms. On the golden cover were written the words "appointment letter". No matter how stupid an official is, he should know that this kind of high-standard ultimatum comes from the capital. It also passed through the hands of the emperor.
Inspector Wu really opened his eyes wide and quickly ordered the officers and soldiers to retreat. He stepped forward in person and asked Jiang Yuntian weakly:
"Is your surname Jiang?"
"Pah! Pah!"
Jiang Yuntian first slapped Wu Dujian and his ears, then opened the document in front of him and cursed: "You weak bitch, do you think I am still a Japanese pirate?"
Wu Dujian only caught a glimpse of the four words "Zhi Shao Gao Shen" on the document. He was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and paid homage: "The last general Wu Qiong...see the general!"
"General?" Jiang Yuntian was very satisfied with this title and looked at Song Che with a smile: "I am really a general."
Song Che pointed to the word "Zhizhi" on the document and said: "There are three types of appointment letters. 'Zuo' is appointed by the Ministry of Officials, and 'Emperor' is appointed by Zhongshu or the Privy Council. This is 'Zhig'. His Majesty the Emperor personally appointed you, which means that the Emperor also knows your name as 'Jiang Yuntian'."
The louder the name, the uglier Ma Jiu's face became.
"General Jiang, all junior generals have blind eyes and cannot see Mount Tai. General, forgive me, general, forgive me..." Wu Dujian cried out and begged for mercy.
"Hmph, if this general hadn't just taken office, you would still have to familiarize me with the military affairs in Taizhou, and I would have to deal with you, the warlord. I'll just write down what happened today - but!"
Jiang Yuntian changed the subject and raised his finger to point at Ma Jiu: "This person has blasphemed the emperor, has no law, forms a clique, bullies the market, and intends to rebel... arrest him!"
"Ah? This...this..." Wu Dujian shook his head at Jiang Yuntian, "General, he can't catch him, he can't catch him..."
"Oh? How about arresting you and making you an accomplice?" Jiang Yuntian leaned over and asked.
Wu Dujian was sweating like rain.
"What are you still doing? If you don't obey the general's orders, behead him!" Jiang Yuntian yelled at the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers turned their spears and pointed at the guests of Ma's village, but no one dared to step forward.
Ma Jiu looked contemptuous, opened his arms and looked around at everyone, his tone provocative: "Come on, I'll stand right here, come and catch me."
Jiang Yuntian held the sword tightly, but still asked Song Che first: "How is this person?"
Song Che said softly: "He is an insignificant person."
Then there is no need to live.
Jiang Yuntian drew his sword and was about to move forward. At this moment, the crowd was pushed away again, "Da da da da..." There was a sound of horse hooves, and he saw a servant leading a white horse slowly approaching, with a man in his forties riding on the horse. The middle-aged man, wearing a dark velvet robe and a big red hairpin on his head, was arrogant even though his feet were not touching the ground, and his arrogant eyes seemed to dominate all living beings.
Ma Jiu called him: "Third brother."
Ma San nodded, first glanced at the crowd of spectators, and asked in an extremely calm tone: "Does it look good?"
Just three words made the crowd disperse.
Ma San did not dismount, but looked at Jiang Yuntian with eyes like a dead fish, "My brother is a martial artist with a reckless personality and is not good at words. He was robbed by Japanese pirates last night and killed several brothers, so he feels resentful. Today You said something rude and offended the general, so I'm here to help you out on his behalf."
Jiang Yuntian sneered slightly, turned his head and looked at Song Che again, and asked in a low voice: "What about this person?"
Song Che softly uttered three words: "It needs to be dealt with."
Jiang Yuntian nodded in understanding and strode to Ma Jiu.
Ma Jiu looked proud, "What? Could it be that you -"
"choke!"
"Uh-huh!"
Lightning and flint, swords like the wind!
"Clang!"
The buckle knife in Ma Jiu's hand fell to the ground, his eyes stared in disbelief, and his head slipped from his neck.
All the dealers, including Ma San on the horse, were shocked by this clean sword.
Jiang Yuntian's sword has not been returned to its sheath, which means it is not over yet.
He swung his sword again, and all four legs of the white horse were severed!
Hearing a long neigh, the white horse fell to the ground. Ma San was pressed hard under the horse, and the hairpin on his head fell off, and he screamed in pain.
"Third Master!"
The banker wanted to step forward to help, but Jiang Yuntian shouted angrily: "Who dares to move!"
No one dared to move, and no one dared to breathe.
Jiang Yuntian walked up to Ma San, wiped the blood on his sword with his robe, and said: "They all say, 'A strong dragon will not suppress a local snake', but I think this is wrong. No matter how big a local snake is, it is still a snake. How can it be so?" Compared to the Raptor crossing the river?"
Ma San gritted his teeth and dared not say a word.
Evil people naturally need ruthless people to grind them down. How can a person stand up if he is not ruthless?
"The road outside the city is publicly owned by the people of Taizhou. If you dare to send someone to collect money again, I will arrest every one I see. Also, from now on, the price of salt is two hundred wen per catty. If you have an extra penny, I will lead my troops to capture you. The Ma Family Salt Store was raided - when a sword is unsheathed, there will be blood, and someone like Jiang must do what he says!"
"Qiang!"
Jiang Yuntian pointed to Ma Jiu's body again and said to Wu Qiong: "Sew his head back, hang it on the city gate, and hang a notice saying 'blaspheming the emperor is a heinous crime' and the world will take it as a warning. When will The bones left behind after being eaten by crows, when will they be taken out again, do you hear me?"
Wu Qiong nodded: "I heard it..."
"Speak louder, haven't you eaten yet?"
"General... obey your orders!"
"Qiang!"
The sharp sword returned to its sheath, Jiang Yuntian waved his hand:
"Go back to camp!"
