At first they were still wondering where the noise came from, but it wasn't until a black mouse jumped out from their feet that they completely let go of their original vigilance.
The brave people almost didn't react, but the timid ones were different. In addition, they had a guilty conscience, so it was inevitable that such a thing suddenly appeared without paying attention and they were frightened.
"Ah - mother!"
He almost subconsciously hugged the brothers next to him. This was great. They were not frightened by the mouse, but rather frightened by him.
Especially the man he was holding was furious when he saw how timid he was. After pushing him away, he kicked the man's buttocks hard and cursed angrily:
"Damn it! You stupid donkey, do you want to scare me to death? Why are you so timid! You were so scared by a mouse!"
The man immediately stretched out his hand and rubbed the place where the other party had just kicked him. He felt very aggrieved and felt humiliated and humiliated.
One of the thin men spoke in a relatively gentle tone and began to persuade:
"It's just like that for people in our industry when they hear some trouble. After all, what they do is a fool's errand. Let's just leave it to him. It won't be the same in the future."
"Forget it, since Third Brother said so, I will spare your life! Thank you now, Third Brother!"
After hearing this, the younger brother felt like he was being pardoned and quickly bowed to him to express his gratitude: "Yes, yes! Thank you, third brother! Thank you, third brother!"
The third child is quite proud. He still has a say in this matter. Since it is just a mouse, it proves that it is not a big deal.
Just when a few people were completely relieved and planned to go back to drink, the next scene made them panic;
Tang Jianqiu had already arrived at their boss's side and placed the Xiuchundao on his neck.
Seeing this scene, they were so frightened that they trembled, as if they had seen an evil ghost, their eyes were full of fear, and there were a few officers and soldiers who were at a loss and didn't even know what to do;
Among them were a few clever gangsters. They almost subconsciously drew their swords and pointed them at Tang Jianqiu.
"You...are you a human or a ghost?"
No officer or soldier has ever been able to come here, but this person in front of him...
And is there no sound when walking?
Tang Jianqiu was upright and brought the Xiuchun knife completely close to the flesh of the boss's neck.
He said calmly: "It's not important, just come with me!"
"You...are you a Jinyiwei?"
The boss is relatively smart. He had heard of the name Jin Yiwei when he was in the world before, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was even more at a loss.
Tang Jianqiu was walking on thin ice: "Yes, are you the boss among them?"
"Yes...I don't know what you want to do with me?"
"experience?"
Tang Jianqiu lowered his eyebrows and felt extremely dissatisfied after hearing the other party's remarks.
Only seventh-grade Jinyiwei would call it "experience", and as a fourth-grade person, he was actually mistaken for experience. How could he not be angry?
"Forget it, no matter what you call it, who is the second in command?"
"I-it's me, sir!"
One of the fat men raised his hand and quickly put on a flattering expression.
"You two, come with me!"
Hearing this, the two of them felt like they were falling into hell. They almost knelt on the ground and begged for mercy:
"No, sir! Please spare my life, sir!"
"I want to see your private salt when I come back. If there is one missing, watch your head!"
As Tang Jianqiu spoke, he exerted so much force that the second-in-command was so frightened that he almost cried.
Even though they knew that what they were doing was illegal, they still pretended to be confused: "Sir, we don't understand what you are saying..."
"Don't pretend to be confused because you understand! Do you think I am blind?"
"Yes, yes... Sir, do you all know?"
Even with their large numbers, they were not sure they could defeat Tang Jianqiu.
First of all, Tang Jianqiu was injured because of this. Although the injury was not serious, the most terrible thing was that he could get close to the boss quietly in such a short period of time, which was enough to show that he was a master!
Tang Jianqiu yelled angrily: "Nonsense! Your invincible mechanism has been broken by this town, what else can you say now?"
"What!"
When they heard Tang Jianqiu's words, they still couldn't believe it. This man actually cracked their carefully laid trap.
Except for the people here, no one can easily crack it.
It is not easy for ordinary people to get through the front. Even if they don't die, they will still be seriously injured, but the person in front of them...
what on earth is it?
Xu was so frightened that he loosened the knife in his hand and suddenly lost his breath.
Tang Jianqiu just snorted coldly. His eyes were contemptuous, as if looking at hatred, and he said sternly:
"You treacherous scoundrels dare to break the law and steal and sell salt for illicit purposes. It is really abominable! But in our Ming Dynasty, anyone who commits illegal salt illicit crimes exceeding a certain number will be punished to death. Those who forge and seduce others will do the same, and those who cross the border will be sent to the army!"
Realizing that there was something he had not added, Tang Jianqiu finally said: "If you escape from the battlefield... you will be punished with an additional penalty!"
"Sir, we were wrong! We don't dare to do it anymore. We are just waiting here for you..."
They really didn't have the courage to deal with it. To them, Tang Jianqiu was the judge in hell. Anyone who didn't like him at all would leave their names in the book of life and death;
"It better be this way."
After saying these words, Tang Jianqiu held the boss and moved him away from his seat with an expressionless expression.
The second-in-command was a little disobedient and was about to resist, but when he met Tang Jianqiu's hateful eyes, he immediately retracted what he was going to say and did not dare to say anything.
And these younger brothers could only watch Tang Jianqiu leave...
In order to prevent them from playing tricks on the road, Tang Jianqiu still kept a careful eye on it, and did not move the embroidered spring knife from the neck of the bandit leader.
I won't let go until I see Su Jing.
The second-in-command was hesitant and speechless, looking like he was at a disadvantage. He originally wanted to use the Thirty-six Strategies but was discovered by the keen Tang Jianqiu, who lifted his back collar like a chicken.
I didn't expect him to be so dishonest, but it doesn't matter, he doesn't mind taking care of it.
Ever since, the scene turned out to be like this. Tang Jianqiu put the weapon back into the scabbard, then held the second-in-command by the collar with one hand, and held the bandit leader hostage with the other hand.
The second in command was in agony. Although Tang Jianqiu didn't hurt him at all, he did feel the blow just now. This person's strength was too terrifying, and he didn't dare to resist anymore.
Tang Jianqiu just walked as usual and walked out of the gate of Xihe Fort calmly.
After he walked out of Xihe Fort, a sharp-eyed officer and soldier spotted Tang Jianqiu and hurriedly reported to Su Jing:
"Master Su! Master Tang is back!"
Su Jing was already worried about this matter, but now he was even more excited when he heard the news of Tang Jianqiu's triumphant return, and immediately stepped forward to pick him up.
"Jianqiu, you are injured. Is the formation inside broken?"
Su Jing said anxiously. He noticed the arrow wound on Tang Jianqiu's body. Although the injury was not serious, it would definitely worsen if he exercised forcefully!
Tang Jianqiu just waved his hand and said: "That's natural, it's just a small injury, it doesn't matter."
To him, this is nothing at all and can basically be ignored.
"That's good." Su Jing finally calmed down a little.
Tang Jianqiu raised a smile on his lips, confidently speaking, and said something from the bottom of his heart, "If you speak your words like a mountain, you are a good man. A real man is born between heaven and earth. He is based on benevolence and righteousness, and he must do what he says!"
Su Jing was also happy when he heard this. He couldn't help but smile up to the sky and said happily: "Hahaha, why do you speak so elegantly? I have never seen you writing and polishing ink before.
Okay, since you are all here, I will make a pair with you. Jade can be broken but cannot change its whiteness. Bamboo can be burned but cannot destroy its joints. Although the body is dead, the name can be as small as bamboo and silk, so why fear? ! "
Tang Jianqiu understood instantly, and he said not to be outdone: "Brother, are you talking about Guan Yu? I have a saying, establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations."
"Think of our Ming Dynasty. If there is no marriage, no indemnity, no land cession, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die. This is what Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the country, wrote!"
Su Jing returned to the original situation with just one sentence. Tang Jianqiu felt deeply ashamed and praised him repeatedly:
"Wonderful! Brother Su is really powerful, but based on your words, I feel inferior to you. I am willing to admit defeat!"
As a military attache, he didn't know much. If he had read more history books, it would have been different.
The two looked at each other and smiled. After that, Su Jing looked at the two thieves captured by Tang Jianqiu and asked: "This is..."
"Brother Su, as I said before, I have broken the mechanism here and caught two scum selling illegal salt."
Just as Tang Jianqiu let go of the hand holding them, the two officers and soldiers became a little more honest, but even so, they were still a little unconvinced.
Su Jing was shocked, as if he had heard some shocking news, and said in disbelief: "What! How dare you sell private salt! You are very courageous!"
"The preliminary estimate is that the quantity is a thousand kilograms. The specific quantity has to be verified by Brother Lao Su."
"This is the first time I have heard such shocking figures since I became the Young Minister of Dali Temple. Okay, then I will do as you say. Come on! Go in and take down those bastards!"
"yes!"
Under Su Jing's order, a large number of officers and soldiers went inside to arrest them, waiting to bring them to justice according to law.
After bringing these officers and soldiers in, Su Jing began to test questions about these sinners.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Su Jing's face was serious, glaring fiercely as if looking at someone with hatred,
"I know... I know." They trembled, but did not dare to look directly into Su Jing's eyes.
Su Jing asked again: "Do you know what is the crime of selling illegal salt?"
"If you reply to the adults, I will know." Their voices became smaller and smaller.
"Do you know how much is being sold?"
"Sir, I know... I know."
Hearing this, Su Jing got angry and knocked the bandana off his head, and cursed: "You coward! You know everything, I'll come all over the mountains to catch you." !”
He only spoke with the accent of Longxi County (now Gansu) when he was angry, which is really hard to find!
The establishment of numerous agencies to block passage is just to hide the evidence of their crimes!
Do you really think he is easy to deceive?
