"What is it?" Beard asked impatiently. He was a martial arts fanatic and had been on the battlefield.
If it hadn't been for his mother's illness at home, he had temporarily retreated, and he would still be killing enemies on the battlefield now.
Jiang Yue smiled half-heartedly, "This has nothing to do with this case, right?"
Magistrate Zhang frowned, feeling that they were tough guys, as if they were fearless and courageous.
Also, if they are not courageous, the Wang family and Fang family cases alone can scare them to death. How can they still get involved and dare to bargain with adults?
He had heard that on the day the refugees entered the city, the Jiang family helped their neighbors kill the refugees, and more than two of them were killed.
Good skills, boldness, uncontrollable, and troublesome, but he didn't have time to care about these now. He said, "This knife is important physical evidence, and we need to take it away."
Jiang Nian got excited. He turned around and said to Jiang Yue seriously, "If I had known, we wouldn't have saved anyone!"
Jiang Yue touched his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I won't save him next time."
Magistrate Zhang took a deep breath and asked Luo Hu to bring some knives as compensation.
But Jiang Nian didn't like him at all. The blade was thin, brittle, and rusty.
In the end, Jiang Yue and the two finished the "notes" and returned home empty-handed. They were frank and open about the government's searches or surveillance, which actually dispelled Magistrate Zhang's doubts.
After returning home, Jiang Yue cooked many eggs to calm Jiang Nian's anger.
No matter how this case was discussed by the people, the Fang family and the Wu family kept their mouths shut and did not say a word to the outside world.
Jiang Yue had already prepared that this case would never be heard in public.
There must be someone in the city who is collaborating with the refugees. This was something that could be detected last time.
But the problem now is that some people in the city are beginning to take advantage of the "refugees" and take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
These people are even among the guards or government officials. After all, natural disasters are not just for ordinary people.
These people who are fighting for their lives are also suffering from hunger and cold.
Having tasted the sweetness, in order to survive, there must be people who use their names or learn to commit crimes.
Therefore, it is impossible for this case to be heard publicly, and there will be no day when it will be concluded.
It passed quietly, and only the victim will always remember it.
After several members of the Fang family hugged each other and cried, they decisively drove the Wu family back to the outer city.
The Wu family did not dare to say anything and left in despair because they felt guilty.
When the thieves wanted to search them, they were so scared that they took the lead in pushing out the Fang family, saying that they had money and food...
If word gets out about being searched by thieves, even if they are victims, they will not have a good reputation.
Especially Fang Lu, who is only twelve years old and will be discussing marriage in two years. This is going to ruin her life.
Mrs. Wu is completely heartbroken. The family is now in a mess, and naturally there is no room for the Wu family.
After the officials investigating the case left, Butcher Fang entered Jiang's house with a cloth bag in his arms to express his gratitude.
"Saber?" Jiang Yue was surprised.
Butcher Fang opened the cloth bag and found two sabers inside.
Jiang Yue took one of them and opened the scabbard, just like a sharp sword unsheathed. This knife was different from the big shoulder knife on Ya Chai's body.
The blade is small in width, about three feet and three inches in length, and has a sharp edge. This is a waist knife and a short knife. It's lightweight, yet powerful and easy to use.
It looks like a Japanese sword, which is the knife used by Japanese people to commit suicide by disemboweling themselves. She had read some history books, and it seemed that the Qi Family Sword written in the books was like this.
The blade is slightly curved, making it easy to use.
Butcher Fang nodded, "This should be the saber used by the former general. Some time ago, the refugees fled into the city. I killed a few people and accidentally found these sabers on them. In order to protect myself, I hid them secretly. .”
Butcher Fang didn't do it in vain, he just wanted to save his life.
If someone were to find out that they were hiding the sword of the former dynasty, their whole family would go to jail. But the Jiang family saved their whole family's lives and lost a good knife, so he couldn't help but be grateful.
"This knife is very valuable, do you really want to give it to us?"
"Nothing is more valuable than human life. I have no way to repay you for your great kindness, so I have to pay for it with two sabers."
Seeing that this man spoke straightforwardly and forthrightly, Jiang Yue knew that he was a loyal person. She turned sideways and looked at Jiang Nian, whose eyes were already glued to another saber.
Jiang Yue asked him to try his hand.
He briefly waved it a few times and said with a smile, "It's a good knife."
Okay, she accepted it decisively.
It's just that she has to hide it outside. She doesn't dare to try it. What if she gets sucked away once she enters the space?
Butcher Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party accepted it.
The Jiang family is capable, and they are sincere in thanking each other, and they may not have any intention of trying to please them.
He asked his eldest son to stay at home while he continued to guard the city. Although he only paid for the day, he also hoped that if something happened to the family, his neighbors would help him for the sake of a good knife.
It's impossible not to go. Food is getting less and less, and there are more and more refugees.
Magistrate Zhang repeatedly sent official letters but received no reply, but refugees appeared one after another. Maybe the villagers in the nearby countryside couldn't survive. If someone took the lead, they would naturally respond.
They tried countless ways to break through the city gate, climbing the wall one day and digging holes the next. The officers and soldiers in the city rushed out once, but the refugees immediately retreated and did not confront you at all. They were like stragglers fleeing in all directions, unable to even catch you.
When the officers and soldiers retreated, they would do it again.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
The guards had been dispelled.
After a while, the people in the city heard the cry of killing. From the initial fright, they have gradually become accustomed to it.
On the first day of August, Butcher Fang went on duty. His hands and feet were weak and his lips were trembling.
He had been a butcher for so many years and had killed so many pigs that his heart had already hardened. It was rare for something to make him panic like this.
Wu was frightened and quickly poured water on him, "What's wrong with you?"
I never saw him so panicked when he was killing refugees.
Butcher Fang drove the children back to their rooms to sleep, and then whispered, "I feel that the city is about to be destroyed!"
Mrs. Wu was shocked, and the bowl in her hand fell to the floor with a clang, even if it broke, she didn't care.
