Those farmers and women who were rescued can choose on their own. Those who are willing to go home will get some money, and those who are willing to stay will tidy up the cottage together.?? ?
Unexpectedly, most farmers and women are willing to stay. As long as no one bullies them, Funiu Mountain is considered a good place.
Putting aside the busy old money man and the dusty Ding Kui and his entourage, let's take a look at Jiang Nan.
It was almost three o'clock in the morning when he finished interrogating the military advisor. Jiang Nan did not stop and drove out of the mountain overnight. It was already close to noon when he arrived at Kengzhu City.
The mission given by Mr. Jiang Tong to Jiang Nan this time was to establish authority. Jiang Tong wanted to tell everyone in a high-profile manner, "No one can touch my grandson. Anyone who dares to touch Ding Kui will face the wrath of the Jiang family."
Outside Kengzhu City, close to the bamboo forest, the breeze blew and stirred the nerves of the bamboo leaves. Thousands of bamboo leaves competed to dance, vowing to prove that they were the freshest one and let the breeze take away their unique beauty.
breath.
The sunshine in April is soft and bright. Even if it is close to noon, bathing in the sunshine is like the lush fingertips of a 28-year-old girl rubbing the body. With the rustling bamboo leaves singing a tune, you can quickly fall asleep when you close your eyes.
The north gate of Kengzhu City was as usual. Although the caravans going south and north were busy, they were still orderly under the command of the gate guards. The scene seemed restless but not noisy.
The guards were probably exhausted from shouting all morning, and as long as no one disrupted the order at the city gate, they didn't bother to open their mouths.
The rapid sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and some mules and horses passing through the north gate suddenly became irritable and restless.
The coachmen swung their whips vigorously and shouted at the restless mules and horses. The animals, who were gradually losing their temper, snorted in protest, and some excited ones began to try to break free from the reins and run to a safe place to hide.
The guards at the city gate realized that something was wrong, so they immediately cheered up, picked up their weapons, and drove the mules and carriages that were about to get out of control to the side of the road, so as not to disrupt the flow of people on the avenue.
A cloud of smoke and dust billowed down the road, and when they got closer, they discovered that it was a group of majestic knights rushing on their way.
This group of knights slowly slowed down as they approached the city gate, because the knight was about forty years old, with black eyes and a Chinese face. He was sitting on a horse with his back straight and was more pure than his crotch.
Hei Ben Lei Ju is even a head taller, with a height of at least 1.85 meters.
The city gate guards quickly dispersed the caravans and people in front of the gate and moved out of Juma. Although they knew they were no match for this group of knights, the Kengzhu City defense army still showed qualified military qualities.
This group of knights was the Jiang Family Guards led by Jiang Nan. Jiang Nan drove his horse and stopped in front of the horse.
The captain of the city gate guard walked out from behind the horse with a long gun in his hand. He raised his head and asked Jiang Nan: "Who are you? What are you doing in Kengzhu City? Do you have any military orders?"
This squad leader had some discernment and could tell that the weapons and equipment Jiang Nan and the others were wearing should be standard equipment produced by Wang ** Fang, and Jiang Nan and the others should be Wang ** Fang's people.
Shaodianguo, whether it is a local army or a regular army, needs military orders from the military headquarters as long as it leaves its garrison. Without military orders, any unauthorized movement will be regarded as rebellion.
Jiang Nan took out a token, threw it to the squad leader, and said to him: "I am Jiang Nan, captain of the First Squadron of An Guogong's Guards. I'm here to trap the important criminal. Get out of the way quickly and don't waste my time.
"
Only the bodyguards of noble lords can travel around the country. As long as you don't go abroad, you can go anywhere.
The squad leader carefully identified the token, raised it high and handed it back to Jiang Nan, saying, "How come your personal guards of An Guogong came to Kengzhu City to arrest the prisoners? I want to ask the Lord of the City for instructions on this matter."
Hearing this, Jiang Nan raised his sword eyebrows and said sternly to the team leader: "Bold, I just returned from suppressing bandits in Funiu Mountain and learned that there are important associates of the bandits in the city. Are you trying to stop me here because you want to tip off the bandits? Hurry up.
Get out of the way, otherwise I will regard you as a gangster, deliberately delaying time, and kill you immediately!"
The squad leader was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat: Where did this man come from? If he opens his mouth at the slightest trouble, he will kill someone. I am a guard of the city gate, as for taking the risk of losing my head. He immediately ordered his men to move away from the horse.
, get out of the way, and ask his assistant to rush to the city lord's mansion and report to the city lord.
When Jiang Nan saw the city gate guards clearing the road, he led his men and ran towards the city. When the last knight ran through the city gate, the team leader shouted to them from behind: "My lords, this city
No riding allowed here!"
The captain thought to himself, my darling, I just need to do my best to show off my skills. How can my mosquito arms resist other people's elephant legs? If there is a conflict, someone will chop me off with a knife. At most, it will be between nobles.
The disputes and lawsuits were brought to the Senate and settled.
Jiang Nan ran into the city, found a passerby, asked for the direction, and led the troops straight to the Kengzhu Carriage and Horses Station.
There was no news coming from Funiu Mountain for a long time, and Deacon Wu became more and more cautious.
The people in Xiaxi Town are very united and xenophobic, and it is simply impossible to send people to inquire for information. Some experts secretly sent to inquire for information have all disappeared, and the place seems to have become a forbidden area for strangers.
Deacon Wu is now prepared every day to run away at the slightest sign of trouble. His superiors have ordered that if the matter is revealed, he can flee back to Cao Kingdom at the last moment.
Today, he was thinking wildly in his butler's room: If news comes from Funiu Mountain and the target is successfully killed, the superiors will arrange for him to return to the country, and when the time comes, he will be promoted to a noble position and return to his hometown in glory.
Suddenly, there was a noise of people outside the room and the sound of heavy footsteps.
Deacon Wu was standing up from his chair when he heard a "bang" and a wooden door was kicked in. When he calmed down and took a look, a burly man with black eyes broke in.
"Who is here? How dare you barge into my carriage shop!" Deacon Wu shouted in a voice as loud as a drake.
The big man stretched out his hand as big as a cattail leaf fan, grabbed Deacon Wu by the collar, and lifted him up.
"Are you Deacon Wu?" the big man asked.
Deacon Wu was hanging in the air, with his collar tied around his neck. He was speechless and could only nod his head. The big man saw him nodding, threw him behind him, and shouted: "Tie him up!"
Deacon Wu broke open a wooden door that was ajar, flew straight to the yard outside, and fell to the ground on all fours. Before he could get up, he was held down by two people and tied tightly with ropes.
.
The big man who broke into the carriage house in Hang Chuk City was none other than Jiang Nan. He rushed over from Fu Niushan without stopping because he was worried that Deacon Wu had escaped. Now the mastermind of the murder had been captured alive, and all that was left was to establish his authority.
Deacon Wu spat out the sand in his mouth, shook his head to get rid of the dizziness in his mind, opened his eyes wide and looked around, and saw that the yard was filled with dusty, heavily armed men.
"You are so brave. You came to rob our Kengzhu City carriage and horse shop in broad daylight. I'm not afraid that the city lord will chop off your heads." Deacon Wu felt reassured that the person who came here had a solid foundation for their advance and retreat, and was a person with strict discipline.
He is not a gangster who acts recklessly in the world of martial arts.
"Hmph, in terms of courage, none of us here can match you. Bring the military advisor here." Jiang Nan looked at Deacon Wu with a sneer, waved his hand and asked someone to bring in another tied-up man.
"Did you see it clearly? Deacon Wu, you colluded with the Funiu Mountain gangsters to murder the Right Protector of the Imperial Guard and the Crown Prince of the Protectorate. Who gave you such courage? Do you know the consequences of civilians murdering officials and nobles?"
Seeing the Fu Niushan military advisor being dragged into the courtyard, Deacon Wu's eyes were still rolling around. Finally, he became heartbroken and pretended to be hysterical and shouted: "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding! I just asked them to scare Ding."
Young Master, Master Ding, isn’t he doing well?”
Deacon Wu still had the last bit of hope in his heart. Even if he was exposed, completing the task would be considered a great contribution. What he shouted was just to confirm Ding Kui's situation.
Jiang Nan laughed angrily when he heard this: "Hahaha, misunderstanding? Scaring? Mr. Ding is fine because he is blessed with great fortune. I forgive you for not having the guts to murder the nobles. Who in the hell instigated you to do this?"
Deacon Wu felt cold in his heart. These bastards from Funiushan failed to complete such a simple task and even implicated themselves. Are they going to carry out the final arrangements from above?
Seeing that Deacon Wu lowered his head and said nothing, Jiang Nan had no patience and asked his men to torture him, trying to forcefully pry open Deacon Wu's mouth.
At this moment, a Jiang family guard ran in from outside the carriage house in Hangzhu City and whispered a few words in Jiang Nan's ear.
Jiang Nan's face turned stern, and she waved her hand and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
As luck would have it, Cai Ying, the lord of Kengzhu City and the hereditary viscount of the kingdom, happened to be out for a banquet. He ran into a city gate guard who came in a hurry. The city gate guard witnessed Jiang Nan asking for directions and led the group to Kengzhu.
Report to Cai Ying about the city's chariots and horses arresting prisoners.
Cai Ying was shocked and confused after receiving the report. The Jiang family of Duke An was a giant in front of him. He had never had any dealings with the Cai family, so they suddenly went to his property to arrest people. What was going on? But his reaction
He was very straightforward and immediately sent out his entourage to gather people and horses. He took his personal guards and rushed to the carriage house. As for the gentry in the city who was entertaining him, he had already forgotten about it.
There were many people gathered at a distance outside the carriage house in Hangzhu City. There were merchants who wanted to negotiate, merchants doing business nearby, pawns waiting to be hired, and ordinary people who happened to be passing by.
A group of unidentified people blatantly occupied the carriage house. To the local people, this was the first time that a big girl got into a sedan chair.
Other places dare not mention it, but in Kengzhu City, the status of this carriage and horse racing business is second only to the city lord's palace. Who doesn't know that it is a cash cow for the Cai family of the Tu Emperor.
The crowd of people watching were all talking about it. How could someone be so blind? They were clearly trying to demolish the Cai family in Kengzhu City. Even the Teng family in Pingzhong County would not be so messy. Today's excitement is unprecedented in a thousand years, at least.
