Sure enough, in just a few clicks, a group of uniformly dressed people walked in from the crowd of onlookers carrying a wooden board. The two people quickly lifted the dwarf and threw it on the wooden board, and then carried it away.
.
The whole process went smoothly. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had done such a thing and they were very familiar with it.
But it seemed to Han Du that he was inexplicably surprised. A dead person was like a drop of water in a pond, and it was over without any movement? In fact, the patrol team members did not even wipe the blood on the ground, leaving those
Rags and finely shredded meat mixed with bright red blood stayed on the ground and slowly solidified.
The strong man shouted expectantly for a while. Seeing that no one came forward to hire him, he put away his sword angrily and returned to the tavern to continue drinking.
The others finished watching the excitement and gradually dispersed, each doing their own thing. It was as if the scene that had just happened had been over and would no longer leave the slightest trace in the hearts of these people.
They should eat and drink. The person who just died is just a mayfly and will not make any waves in their lives.
"Let's go too."
When Hader's voice came, Han Du suddenly came back to his senses. He glanced at the solidified red on the ground and sighed toward Zhu Biao: "Let's go."
Hader walked in the front, leading Han Du and Zhu Biao. Perhaps because of Hader's presence, although most of the people on both sides of the street focused on Han Du and his party, no one came up.
forward.
Along the way, Han Du saw people on both sides of the street. In addition to people doing their own things and drinking and bragging, there were also many people who set up a target directly beside the street and kept waiting with swords.
Weapon training for cutting, slashing and stabbing.
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Han Du looked a little uncomfortable, Hader explained in a low voice: "Practice on the street can not only increase their skills, but also allow employers to intuitively see their skills. In this way, their chances of being hired will be improved.
It will be bigger and it will be easier to negotiate the price with the employer."
Along the way, Zhu Biao was dazzled by the various exotic customs that were completely different from those in the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was not uncommon for people to carry swords. Needless to say, many generals and soldiers returning home carried swords. Even some
The naughty scholars would hang a sword on their waist, and even if they couldn't swing it, they would still use it to show off.
As long as you are not carrying a bow, arrow, or armor, the court will not care about you.
Even the second generation of some noble families, such as Zhang Lei, would go out of the city to hunt with bows and arrows on their backs.
In the early years of Hongwu, the people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty were robbed miserably by Japanese pirates. Lao Zhu issued an edict, which only said: "Whenever Japanese pirates invade
, the people can hack them to death with swords," but this is to resist foreign enemies.
And like just now, killing someone in the street after a disagreement was a serious crime in the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for the government to let it go.
Just as Han Du and others were crossing the street, a scream suddenly came from behind.
Han Du turned around and saw a pro-soldier next to him holding the wrist of a ragged young man, and it was the young man who screamed.
"What's going on?" Han Du asked in a deep voice.
The pro-jun turned back to Han Du and explained: "Master Hou, this guy just reached out to the general's waist and wanted to steal the general's things."
The pro-juniors did not have any money bags around their waists, only revolvers and thunderbolts. If any of these two items were stolen, it would be a serious accident.
After hearing this, Han Du's face darkened. Seeing that the thief was still shouting, his expression even became more and more arrogant. He turned to Hard and asked, "What is he talking about?"
The young man didn't understand what Han Du and others were saying, and was still roaring.
Harder's face didn't look good either. He glanced at the thief and quickly explained in a low voice: "He is saying that his hand was broken by us and he needs compensation."
compensation?
Han Du was stunned for a moment, then realized, isn't this just touching porcelain? Could it be that there was touching porcelain here hundreds of years ago?
"What will happen if we don't compensate?" Han Du pondered, feeling that we could not encourage the bad habit of touching porcelain.
Hard shook his head slightly, "This is not a question of whether to compensate or not, but that we should not compensate."
Han Du looked at Hard in confusion.
Harder's face also darkened and he said: "This is not an ordinary thief. Ordinary thieves only look for lone people to attack. There are so many of us, and they won't get close at all. Who must have sent this spy?"
They are testing us."
Han Du also suddenly woke up. Even the ferocious strong man did not dare to approach him and others. Where did this thief get the courage?
Looking up and seeing the thief's voice getting louder and louder, even looking smug, Han Du asked seriously: "What should we do?"
Hader's eyes were solemn and he replied in a low voice: "It's best to teach him a lesson and let him know that we are not easy to mess with."
teach a lesson
Well
Han Du looked at the people around him with fierce eyes and ferocious faces as he looked at his group. Thinking about the pool of blood on the ground just now, he made a decision in his heart.
"kill him."
Qin Jun, who was entangled by the thief, was already full of anger. After all, no matter who was pointed at the nose and scolded, he would not be in a good mood. After hearing Han Du's order, he drew his sword out of its sheath without hesitation.
Everyone only felt a phantom flash before their eyes. The sound of the sword had just sounded, and was suppressed by a force. Before anyone could react, Qin Jun had already sheathed the sword.
The thief's voice stopped suddenly.
The pro-jun didn't look at him again and turned back to his original position.
Han Du glanced around and saw that the people around him couldn't help but avoid looking at him.
"Walk."
The group of people left, and this time no one came forward to touch or obstruct Han Du and others.
After Han Du and others walked away, the thief still stood motionless. Seeing this scene, someone became bolder and shouted to the thief: "Cunning Jimmy, aren't you usually the talkative one?"
?Why don’t you say a word now?”
As soon as this person's words came out, the people around him suddenly became strange.
Only a few people looked solemnly, looking at Jimmy standing on the side of the street without saying a word.
In another tavern, a group of strong men were sitting inside. Their equipment was better than that of the strong men who killed people earlier. They were all wearing thick plate armor, covering their vital parts tightly.
A mercenary saw that the leader looked wrong and asked hesitantly: "What happened to Jimmy today? In the past, he would make a lot of noise even if nothing happened. Now he has suffered such a big loss, and how can he endure it?"
The group leader took a sip of the wine from the cup and said with a sneer: "He is dead."
"Dead, dead?" The mercenary looked back at the thief and said doubtfully: "No, he is still standing there fine."
Before the mercenary finished speaking, he saw a large cloud of blood spurting out from the thief's neck. He fell straight down and picked up a large cloud of dust on the ground.
The mercenary's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and then turned back to look at the captain.
Unfortunately, his captain didn't pay attention to him at all, staring straight at the thief's neck. He murmured to himself: "What a fast knife, what a sharp knife.
.”
The mercenary immediately recalled those people who had just met, and shrank his neck and no longer dared to pry around.
Han Du originally thought that if he killed someone, there might be trouble. After all, he and others were from outside. The city lord's mansion could tolerate locals messing around, but it might not tolerate him and others.
However, Han Du waited until Harder brought everyone to the gate of his manor, but there was no movement at the city lord's mansion. He even met several patrols on the road, but no one had the intention to ask Han Du and others.
Han Du shook his head, sighing in his mind at the chaos of Hulumos, killing people in the street for no reason, and yet nothing happened.
Hard came to the end of the road and looked at a manor with pleasant scenery. He couldn't help but sigh. He stopped, turned back to Zhu Biao and Han Du and introduced with a smile: "This is Hard's home."
Han Du looked at the manor in front of him. It was not small in scale and in a good location. It seemed that he had really underestimated this Hader. It turned out that he was once a person of high status in Hurumos.
.
To be honest, after learning that the owner of the large manor in front of him was actually Hader, Handu found it difficult to separate him from the man who cried bitterly in front of him and said that he had been kidnapped by pirates.
Harder is eager to return home. This time he went to sea, he has experienced too much and seen too much. Now he is physically and mentally exhausted, and he really wants to return home, the spiritual haven, to have a good rest.
He stepped forward and was about to shout when the door of the manor suddenly opened.
He thought his family knew he was coming back and opened the door to greet him. But when he saw the person, Hard's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted angrily in a deep voice.
Han Du couldn't understand the exchange between Hard and the other party, but just by looking at the confrontation between the two parties, he knew that something must have changed.
He turned his head and moved closer to Shi Si beside him, and asked, "What's going on?"
Han Du is well aware of the importance of language communication. Since he is preparing to come to the West, communication cannot be completely dependent on Hard. Otherwise, it will be easy to be influenced by Hard. So Han Du brought a few Shi family members with him.
People who speak the language here can avoid being deceived by Hades, and this Shi Si is one of these people. Even so, when he was in Ceylon, because the Shi family had no contact with Ceylonese people, it was difficult to communicate with Ceylonese people.
In human negotiations, everything relies on Harder alone.
When the people of the Shi family were in Old Port, they often acted as messengers between Ming Dynasty maritime merchants and Western merchants, so of course they could not understand the conversation between Hader and that man.
