Chapter 337

This foot was as heavy as a kilo, but it also made him lose the ability to resist in an instant. Even his leader was instantly knocked to the ground. It can be imagined that which of the other brothers will have any good fruit to eat?

The cold front made a move. They had a careful plan. They met some guys who despised the enemy. They would be polite. Naturally, they were greeted with a good meal.

Bursts of sticks and sticks, if they don't have the heart to kill, I'm afraid more than 20 people here will tell them all here.

After about half Zhu Xiang's time, the unilateral beating slowly stopped. Seeing that Niu Zhi and others had been scarred one by one, they no longer looked like they were high spirited before.

"Come on, tie everyone up, but some people don't accept it. Just wait with a stick." Yang Wu stood in the crowd with a proud voice. This time he is not impulsive. Tiger head can say. This is the young master's order.

That is, if you get the order and don't move a fist well at this time, won't you live up to the task given by the tiger head and the opportunity given by God?

Command, the cold front took out the long prepared rope from the back waist to start work. It's just that the expected resistance didn't happen. Maybe they were really afraid of being beaten. Since ancient times, only men and soldiers have caught thieves. Where can thieves catch soldiers? And they happened to meet. How can anyone who doesn't have a long brain dare to shout?

Soon, the street, which had been noisy for a while, became quiet again. If someone passed by here at this time, I would never have thought that dozens of officers had been beaten here.

Yang Wu and others are still staring, waiting for the "enemy" to come. According to their ideas, more than 20 yamen soldiers sent out suddenly disappeared. How could it cause a sensation? It is even reasonable that the Ming army Hangzhou guards near Hangzhou will act.

Unfortunately, one night passed, and there was still no movement until the day began to shine, indicating the arrival of a new day, which really disappointed Yang Wu.

Besides Qi Zhai and Qi Bushen's mansion, one morning, he was still sleeping with his concubine in his arms. Suddenly, the housekeeper shouted, "Sir, no! No, sir."

"What's the matter?" Qi Bushen, who was awakened from his dream, got up from the bed with an unhappy face, casually put on a dress, opened the door of the bedroom, and then scolded the housekeeper who was shouting outside. "Master, it's you. What do you want to do to disturb people's dreams in the morning? I tell you, I can't spare you today if I don't tell you a reason..."

"The master is not well. Niu Zhi didn't come back all night. They don't know where they went? They couldn't have been killed by those people." the housekeeper didn't listen to what Qi Bushen wanted to say, but said with a panic on his face.

Last night, after he arranged Niu Zhi's errand, he came back to bed. It's not the first time to do such a job. He just needs to issue orders and get up in the morning to see the results. But one morning when he went to the government office, he knew that more than 20 people, such as Niu Zhi, had disappeared as if the world had evaporated. The remaining yamen servants thought that Constable Niu was doing something important and needed to go far away, so they didn't see anyone or report all night.

The housekeeper panicked when he heard the news. The other courtyard of Chang's family is in Hangzhou's Fucheng. It's not far from the government office. It won't take the first half of the year at most. How can it be that you haven't come back all night?

Intuition told him that something must have happened. Then he even ran and climbed back to the Qi house and woke up the master. The original Qi Bushen was still angry on his face, but after listening to the housekeeper's words, he was as stunned as thunder. Until a few breaths passed, he reacted and exclaimed loudly, "how is this possible, how is it possible."

"Master, it's true. Those people must be bold. Master, it's been a night. No one knows what will happen, or we'll report to the official." the frightened incoherent housekeeper stood there and trembled and put forward his own suggestions.

"Report to the official? Bastard, the master is an official." Qi Bushen was angry with this sentence and couldn't help scolding.

"No, no! Sir, it's small to report to Hangzhou guard and let them send troops into the city. Maybe only they appear can we live in the town. The housekeeper consciously made a slip of the tongue. After correcting it, he hurriedly said.

After this reminder, Qi Bushen's flustered look flashed a happy look, but then he shook his head, "no! No. It's important. We still need to investigate first. If it's a misunderstanding, it's a big joke."

Once the Hangzhou guards are alerted and the army is mobilized, it is inevitable that things will report to Nanjing. If the emperor and the court are really alerted, there will be no room for turning things around. Qi Bushen shook his head and decided to make things clear first.

After the so-called clarification, the matter naturally fell on the housekeeper. The housekeeper naturally had a headache about this task, but the master said it. Of course, he didn't dare to prevaricate. After agreeing, he rushed to the government office.

When he came to the Yamen again, the housekeeper ordered 20 yamen servants and four captains who had learned martial arts. He went straight to the Chang family's other courtyard. This time, it was broad daylight. He didn't believe that anyone dared to do anything to himself? Of course, he wasn't unprepared. He left a message in the Yamen when he left, that is, if he didn't come back for an hour, he would leave Inform the master to send troops to save people.

After preparation, I can't guarantee that I won't be afraid. I still came to Chang's other hospital with some trepidation. To our surprise, the gate was already open here. It seemed that we knew someone would come. When we saw his team from a distance, a man with a smile on his face greeted him. "But I don't know the identity of the visitor? Please report it."

The other party was so polite that the housekeeper couldn't rush up. In the idea of coming but not going to be rude, he hugged his fist and said, "I'm the housekeeper of the magistrate of Hangzhou, surnamed Wu..."

"Housekeeper?" the person in front of him shook his head before he could say anything. Then he said, "with all due respect, it's up to you as a housekeeper. You'd better go back and ask your master to come in person."

After saying that, the welcoming man turned and left. It can be seen that he seemed a little unhappy. Housekeeper Wu knew that his identity was still a little humble, but even when he came, he couldn't ask anything clearly. He rushed to the other party's leaving back and shouted, "Hey, Niu Zhi, are they in your hands? What happened to them?"

"Niu Zhi? Hehe, you mean the man who was beaten into a pig's head. If you want to know how he is, let your master come in person." the man didn't even look back. His figure gradually moved away. After returning to another hospital, he closed the door.

The man was Yang Wu. The sixth young master told him to meet him outside the door. Originally, he thought it would be the magistrate of Hangzhou. If the other party was sensible, things would not be big. But he is just a housekeeper. Many things can't be discussed under unequal identities.

Finally got the news from Niu Zhi. After confirming that it was the other party's act, the housekeeper turned and left. His face was no longer nervous and afraid. Instead, he was burning with anger. He dared to privately detain the official. With this, the other party was dead!

An hour and a half later, the Hangzhou guard stationed nearby moved.

Led by 200 cavalry and followed by 500 infantry, a large group of people and horses entered Hangzhou from Nancheng and galloped all the way through the streets, attracting bursts of chicken flying and dog jumping.

Tong Qiao, commander of Hangzhou Wei, has 5600 people and five thousand households. The first 1000 households have 1120 people, under which ten hundred households have 112 people per hundred households. Usually responsible for the safety near Hangzhou.

They say they are responsible for safety. In fact, there are not many things they can do. Unless the enemy invades from the sea, otherwise, most of the time is just fooling around. This time, the magistrate Qi Bushen suddenly received a request, saying that there was a gang of criminals in the city. They even detained more than 20 dispatched officers in private, which seemed to be a means.

When the news first came, Tong Qiao didn't hear it clearly. Of course, more people still can't believe it. This is the world of the Ming Dynasty. Officials represent the image of the country. How can anyone dare to attack them? Aren't you afraid of criminal law? Or is it that people have a high status and can do things without scruples.

But the next news let Tong Qiao interrupt such an idea. It was said that the gangsters lived in another courtyard of the Chang family of rich businessmen in the south. This alone made him relax.

In that sentence, the status of businessmen was still very low at that time. If you are really a person of status, how can you be willing to live in another merchant's yard? It'll only cost you money. Even for those who have no right, Tong Qiao doesn't mind picking a soft persimmon and pinching it. It's just that the brothers haven't fished outside for a long time. This time, it's an opportunity. If it's done, it's a big income. It's said that it's the Chang family. It's said that wealth is invincible.

As a result, a 700 strong Ming army marched into the city. Here, there were officials waiting to lead the way. Then they came to the other courtyard of the Chang family and surrounded it.

"Look at the front and rear doors. No one is allowed to slip away. After a while, when the general gives an order, everyone just rush forward. If anyone dares to resist, call with a knife and gun." Tong Qiao, who is riding on a horse and wearing armor, is majestic.

Under his command, Chang's other courtyard was soon surrounded. Then two hundred Ming soldiers with swords and guns bravely came to the front door,. Ten of them were in a row. When they took a step forward, they would shout. Let alone their voices were very neat, they had some momentum.
