Detective in the Red Chamber

After all, Xiang Yi is not a pure nerd. After pondering for a while, he suddenly realized, "So, he actually wants to take those women..."

"No!"

He jumped up suddenly, and said with righteous indignation, "It's a shame that Zhou Ruqing is still a person who has read poetry and books. I didn't expect to be so devoid of conscience! Brother Sun, as the imperial court officials, we must not let those women be ruined." spoil!"

Even if Xiang Yi didn't say this, Sun Shaozong would not sit idly by.

Originally, he planned to find out the real evidence of Zhou Ruqing's "fleeing with stolen money" first, and then ambush on the pier to get the stolen money personally, so as not to be beaten to death and suffer from it-after all, this "Zhou Papi" is the governor of a province, and there is no proof How can you move him without evidence?

But the current situation...

Hey~

Sure enough, you still have to rely on your fists to speak!

Sun Shaozong stood up helplessly, and was about to say something, when he heard someone shouting outside, "Lord Qianhu, Lord Qianhu! Something big happened, something big happened!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a few Dragon Guards wearing ink dragon swallowing cloud battle robes, stumbled in, and as soon as they crossed the threshold, the leader of the hundred households prostrated themselves on the ground, yelling "Lord Qianhu!" !Governor Zhou... He transported all the firearms and crossbows in the arsenal to the Governor's Mansion!"

"what?!"

Sun Shaozong said in amazement, "How come there are still firearms in this Jinmen Mansion?!"

He doesn't pay much attention to ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds, but this firearm and crossbow are different.

But aren't firearms only available in the military?

The soldiers of Zhili Governor's Mansion may have been trained more intensively than ordinary soldiers in the Beijing camp, but they are still not considered a serious army.

"Return to your lord."

Jia Baihu hurriedly said, "There used to be a group of water bandits entrenched around here. When the Jinmen Mansion was first established, they fought a few battles with the officers and soldiers. These things are left over from the time when the bandits were suppressed!"

"There are about forty matchlock guns, more than a hundred bows and crossbows, and... four tiger squatting guns!"

"There is no banditry at the moment. The governor's actions are really a little... a little..."

Depend on!

After Sun Shaozong heard this, he couldn't help scolding his mother. Compared with the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the capital, these things are nothing, but in Jinmen Mansion, they are enough to look down upon!

"grown ups."

Telling the news of this day, Jia Shanyao felt more at ease. Seeing that Sun Shaozong was speechless for a while, he couldn't help reminding, "Should we send people out of the city to send this news to the capital?"

Sun Shaozong gave him a sideways look, and said with a sneer, "Is there any use in spreading news to the capital now, except to shirk responsibility afterwards?"

Jia Shanyao was caught in his mind, and he threw himself on the ground in a busy and embarrassing manner.

Sun Shaozong paced back and forth in the living room for a few steps, and then asked, "How many troops are there in the governor's mansion's personal army?"

"Originally there were only thirty or so, but after Mr. Zhou was promoted to governor, the number of recruits has more than doubled. Now there are about 90 to [-] people. Almost all of them are Mr. Zhou's township party members, and they are the most loyal to him!"

As Jia Shanyao was talking, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added, "I heard that at Xiangwu, adults in Taiwan also brought dozens of cronies there. Adding up the two times together, there are one hundred and thirty forty people!"

"If you count the servants of the nursing home, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to gather 200 people!"

tsk~

Two hundred well-trained soldiers, holding muskets, bows and crossbows, and four tiger squatting guns...

"How many people in your hundred households can fight?"

"This one……"

If he had heard Sun Shaozong ask this question before, Jia Shanyao would have insisted that all the forty or so brothers in the hundred households can fight and everyone dares to fight!

But right now is not the time to brag and cover up, so he can only say embarrassingly, "Although there are more than 40 people in the [-] households under the bid, there are probably only a dozen who can really fight. Those who dare to fight... I'm afraid they still have to fight." Less."

ok~

This ratio is close to twenty to one!

Even Xiang Yi, who knew nothing about military affairs, lost the impassioned expression on his face at this time, shaking his sleeves and stomping his feet, "This...how can this be good!"

"Do not worry."

Sun Shaozong was quite calm, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, saying, "We don't have to attack directly, as long as we can catch the thief by surprise..."

"My lord, my lord!"

Before he could finish the words 'capture the thief first, capture the king', he heard someone outside screaming like a wolf howling, "The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion are gathering in the street, and they seem to be rushing to our side! "

250 Slaughter

After the yelling outside, the living room was suddenly as silent as death!

That Jia Shanyao's spine softened, and he almost fell to the ground again, and then he jumped up like a monkey, and said anxiously, "My lord, I don't think it is suitable to stay here for a long time..."

"shut up!"

Sun Shaozong stopped him, waited for the shouting servant of the Xiang family to come in, asked Qi carefully, and confirmed that there were only about [-] soldiers gathered at the gate of the yamen, and they did not carry any firearms or crossbows, then he was relieved in one breath.

It's not that he is bragging. Anyone who knows his reputation should not think that he can be subdued by just a few dozen officers and soldiers.

What's more, when Jia Shanyao rushed over with four of his men, he should have passed by the governor's mansion. If Zhou Ruqing really intended to deal with Sun Shaozong, he would definitely have noticed this!

But since they didn't come to catch him, what would be the purpose of these soldiers?

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is the annex where the North Korean mission is housed also in this direction?"

"That's right, the annex is here..."

Halfway through Jia Shanyao's answer, his heart suddenly came to a sudden, and he said happily, "Yes, these soldiers and horses are probably going to capture the North Korean envoy! If the North Korean envoy hadn't been present, Mr. Zhou would not have been forced into a corner. To pull up the flag to rebel, naturally the barbarian surnamed Li will sacrifice the flag first!"

Raise the flag to rebel?

This Jia Baihu can really figure things out.

Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes speechlessly. It's not a troubled time right now, and this place is not a border area where the emperor is far away. With 200 soldiers and horses pulling the flag to rebel, it would be better to hang your neck on the flagpole and hang yourself to death. !

The reason why Zhou Ruqing sent people to the other hall was probably not to kill Li Enxian, but to take him hostage so that he could take the three Korean warships as his own.

With the help of firearms, bows and crossbows, plus these three large warships, Zhou Ruqing is enough to cross the sea!

Maybe I can go to the southeast coast and share a share with the Japanese pirates!

Moreover, he held Li Enxian hostage, so even if there was any accident, he could push it out as a shield.

But this is not the worst!

Needless to say, if Zhou Ruqing succeeded, the imperial court would be disgraced. How the North Korean country would react is hard to predict.

Thinking about it further, the surrounding Fanbang is already ready to move, if there is a chain reaction because of this...

no~

Don't let this week's pickpockets do anything reckless!

Sun Shaozong hurriedly asked again, "Will you pass by this inn when you go to the other hotel?!"

"It's not necessary."

Jia Shanyao stretched out his arms and gestured, "There is a T-junction not far from here, where do you turn north..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Shaozong stepped forward and tore off the saber from his waist, and then rushed out of the door like the wind.

Everyone was baffled, and they heard the sound of horseshoes rumbling outside!

Not to mention how the people in the inn reacted.

But it is said that Sun Shaozong rode Jia Shanyao's mount, hid the single sword in his cloak, rode his horse and whipped his whip, and went straight to the governor's mansion.

Seeing the T-shaped intersection, I saw that nearly half of the twenty or so guards had turned the corner.

Sun Shaozong urged the horse to catch up without saying a word, when the soldiers behind heard the sound of the horse's hooves, they looked back suspiciously, and saw him showing his teeth and grinning fiercely, pulling out a single saber with his right hand clattering, and swept over like a horse!

Now that he has decided to use force to solve the problem, he will not show mercy!

People borrowed horsepower, and Jia Shanyao's saber was not a mortal thing. With just one sweep, he chopped off three heads of Liuyang like melons and vegetables!

The blood in that cavity was still spurting wildly, and the confused head was still flying in the air, but Sun Shaozong had already rushed his horse into the crowd, flying up and down with a single knife in his hand, and reaped another five or six lives in the blink of an eye!

You must know that this team only has about [-] people in total, how can it stand up to such a massacre? !

The rest of the soldiers were either frightened and stood on the spot, or ran around crying and shouting for their mothers, only the leader was a little courageous, drew his waist knife and shouted, "He is only one person, brothers shoulder to shoulder... "

Before the roar was over, half of his left shoulder fell to the ground together with his head!

"Kneel down to avoid death!"

Only then did Sun Shaozong yell sharply, and then he urged his horse to rush towards the fleeing officers and soldiers.

It's just that no matter how vigorous he is, after all, he has no skills to separate himself. After killing six and taking two prisoners, he still escaped with four or five people.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up with them, Sun Shaozong simply drove the two captives back to the inn by the same route.

You must know that it was a clear sky and broad daylight, and the beheadings rolling in the street could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the common people, so the passers-by on the road had already escaped completely when they heard the wind, only a pair of people were exposed behind the doors, windows, and on the courtyard wall. Eyes of curiosity and fear.

Since no one dared to approach, Sun Shaozong naturally would not waste time on the road, so he questioned the two captives while walking.

The two of them were frightened, otherwise they would not have heard Sun Shaozong's roar, and would have knelt down and begged for mercy.

Hearing him ask at this time, naturally he dared not lie a bit.

Therefore, when he was outside the inn, Sun Shaozong knew everything he wanted to know.

The result can only be said to be 'extremely pessimistic'. Originally, Sun Shaozong was thinking that if the soldiers of the governor's mansion were kept in the dark and didn't know Zhou Ruqing's future plans, it might be possible to use this to disturb the opponent's morale.

Unexpectedly, after cross-examination, it was discovered that Zhou Ruqing had already confessed to the soldiers at Xiangwu.

And this personal army was fed by him with money, and he took part in all kinds of illegal and disciplined things on weekdays, and they all knew the truth that one prospers all prospers and one loses all.

Therefore, except for a few people, most of them responded to Zhou Ruqing's nonsense of "killing overseas and sealing borders with all lands".

And Zhou Ruqing didn't embarrass those who refused to submit, but ordered them to be temporarily imprisoned in the backyard, and said that they would be free to leave before going to sea at night.

Seeing Zhou Ruqing like this, the soldiers felt that he treated the township party favorably and was a 'lord' worth following. Those who were half-hearted and only agreed to go to sea because of fear were also a little more willing.

Afterwards, Zhou Ruqing sent people around to guard against death, and at the same time brought many young women from the yamen, announcing that the brothers would take turns to play with each other before dark...

"Already started?!"

"Not yet, because some of us were ordered to trick the North Korean envoy into the urn. Captain Ge Yan personally promised that we would divide up after we came back...and then divide up the women."

Only then did Sun Shaozong breathe a sigh of relief. If these more than a hundred innocent women were humiliated because he failed to rescue them, it would be really...

But this is not the same as his previous speculation. Isn't Zhou Ruqing going to add a layer of insurance to the crew and sailors before going to sea?

"Those who ran the boat? Captain Ge Yan said that after the brothers finished tasting the soup, they would give them some leftovers. From now on, everyone will be 'brothers in the same boots', so we can take care of each other when we are at sea."

rely on ~

The "voting certificate" of feelings is also divided into three or six grades, and the relationship is far and near!

Chapter 251 Go to the front!

But when Sun Shaozong returned to the inn, he saw that the original guests had already dispersed, and even the shopkeeper and the waiter were gone.

Only Xiang Yi, Jia Shanyao and others welcomed him into the backyard in awe and apprehension.

Listening to Sun Shaozong's few words and a few words, he gave a general idea of ​​what happened just now, Xiang Yi just clicked his tongue in admiration, but Jia Shanyao flattered him, "I heard that you are brave and unparalleled! Today's humble job is an eye-opener..."

"Okay, stop talking about these useless things!"

Sun Shaozong interrupted him unceremoniously, and cupped his hands at Xiang Yi again, saying, "Brother Xiang, please take someone to collect some cotton mattresses and ropes and bring them back, the more the better!"

Although Xiang Yi didn't understand the use of collecting these things, he still agreed and led the people there excitedly.

Seeing his excited look, he was obviously fooled by this "cutting melons and chopping vegetables" victory, thinking that the two hundred people in the Governor's Mansion were actually not difficult to deal with.

But Jia Shanyao was born in the military. Although he has never been on the battlefield, he also knows that large-scale long-range weapons are the natural enemy of this man's bravery—no matter how brave the generals are, they dare not attack the strict army formation with a large number of firearms and crossbows. !

Therefore, as soon as Xiang Yi left, he stepped forward to persuade him, "Lord Qianhu, Mr. Zhou... When Zhou Ruqing got the news, I'm afraid he won't let it go. I think we should find a way to escape from the city first, so as not to be surrounded by them." Can't get away from it."

After a pause, seeing that Sun Shaozong was taking off his clothes on his own, without the slightest reaction, he then analyzed, "At present, the governor and the staff of the governor are all concentrated in the governor's mansion, and there should not be many people on the city gate and the pier. , with the ability of adults, I want to kill..."

"Kill out?"

Sun Shaozong took off the blood-stained cloak, and took off all the clothes inside, revealing a majestic body cast in iron and copper, and sneered casually, "Could it be that Jia Baihu forgot the word 'responsibility for guarding the soil'?" If Zhou Ruqing really hijacked the North Korean envoy to go to sea, it must be a shocking case!"

"When the time comes, the court will lose face and the Holy Majesty will be furious. Who do you think will be used as the scapegoat?"

Speaking of this, he spread his two thick arms, and said indifferently, "Anyway, I have been fighting for a while, and I am not a local official of Jinmen Mansion. If Jia Baihu insists on leaving, I will..."
