Chapter 1603 The title of the previous chapter was wrong
Although statutory punishment for crimes was not popular in the Qin Dynasty, it was not easy to draw inferences of guilt casually.
When Bai Tu said this, it was clear that he was asking for benefits.
He basically does this every day these days.
Theoretically, his current task should be to control the Stone of Fire and wait for the escort team arranged by the court to arrive before handing it over directly.
But the place where the Yinghuo Stone fell was closer to the headquarters of Nongjia Liutang than this town. The incident of Shennong Order had not happened before, and he dared to bring people close.
Now that Shen Nong's order has been issued, one hundred thousand disciples in the six halls of the farm are eyeing this extraterrestrial stone. How dare Bai Tu stay near that stone anymore.
Although the quality of imperial officers varies, some like Bai Tu can be regarded as the "best" among them.
For him to be able to become this captain, I can only say... it's outrageous.
Faced with Bai Tu's actions of not doing his job properly and using power for personal gain, Gao Jianli replied slowly and calmly:
"We are just running a small business, barely making ends meet. We don't have much money. I'm afraid I won't be able to provide the 'evidence' the general wants."
"Really?" Bai Tu snorted coldly and threatened in a arrogant manner, "Whether it is a small business or not, I will have to take you back and interrogate you before you can be sure!"
Gao Jianli and Xiaoyaozi's bodies immediately tensed up, ready to draw their swords and strike at any moment.
Similarly, looking at the two people who were still indifferent and seemed to be determined to fight to the end, Bai Tu's soldiers also surrounded the place, holding weapons raised, waiting for an order to take action.
Seeing that the two of them still didn't give face, Bai Tu became angry and didn't intend to talk nonsense anymore.
If a few bastards dare to disobey, then let's kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. It will just add some 'prestige' to them, so that no one else dares to disobey.
At this time, the guest sitting at the table next to them who had attracted Xiaoyaozi's attention before walked up to Bai Tu at some point, held down the opponent's sword-drawing hand, and said in a deep voice without any fluctuations:
"General, wait a minute."
Bai Tu was stunned, when did this person touch him?
After coming back to his senses, he didn't think much about it, but asked with a glaring look:
"Who are you? What's the matter with you here!?"
The other party calmly leaned into Bai Tu's ear and said a few words, and finally reached out and stuffed a small thing into his hand.
Bai Tu lowered his head and saw a small golden leaf. The anger on his face immediately disappeared and he showed a satisfied smile:
"Humph... It seems there are still people who understand."
"Okay, now that you've come to my territory, let's do business well. You can say whatever you want to make money, but don't make any trouble!"
While talking, Bai Tu laughed and patted the other person on the shoulder.
The man calmly pushed Bai Tu's hand away, and replied in a low tone, "Definitely."
After collecting the gold leaves, Bai Tu stopped talking nonsense and left without even looking at Gao Jianli and his team.
He is very particular about this aspect. He will not argue with you immediately after receiving the money. Moreover, he has no intention of catching a toad and urinating.
Seeing that the situation had eased, Gao Jianli and Xiaoyaozi also took their hands out from under their cloaks, and looked curiously at the stranger who came to their rescue.
This man's hair was slightly messy, with a braid that looked like a round head. His face was gray and gloomy, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he was lacking in energy.
With such a distinctive appearance, it is naturally none other than Han Xin.
As the leading general in the attack on the government city, his relationship with the Mohist family was undoubtedly incompatible.
It's a pity that Gao Jianli didn't know him at all - the people of the Mo family knew that the person who broke into their headquarters was a newly promoted general named Han Xin, but none of them knew what Han Xin looked like.
Of course Han Xin knew them, but he had no intention of communicating with them. After sending Bai Tu away, he turned back and continued drinking tea.
On the other side of the street, Bai Tu was about to find another fat sheep to blackmail him, but there was a faint melody coming from the street.
Bai Tu was stunned, "Where did the sound come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange team appeared at the end of the street, which was basically clear thanks to him and his men.
At the front of the procession is a group of musicians, who play pipes, flutes, flutes, instruments, string instruments, and singers. The music they play is lively, lively, melodious and enchanting, making people unconsciously think of a graceful beauty.
After the musicians, there are several girls in beautiful and attractive clothes, each holding a flower basket in their hands, constantly reaching out to take out flower petals and scattering them into the air. The flying petals are paired with the brisk melody, which makes people even more imaginative.
After the girls, comes the most eye-catching part of the team - a tall sedan chair with gorgeous decorations and complex structure.
This is really an out-and-out bridal sedan, because its appearance is like a huge blooming flower, and in the center of the flower is a circle of pink curtains.
Through the flower tent, you can vaguely see a hazy figure sitting in it. Looking at the figure, you can tell that she is a graceful beauty - of course, the possibility of a devilish figure and devilish appearance cannot be ruled out, but the chance is not very high.
Such a luxurious team immediately aroused discussion among the people around them.
Although they had just experienced another round of exploitation by Bai Tu's soldiers, they still had the leisure to join in the fun at this time.
Because most of them are locals living in the town, they have been exploited several times, and there are no gold coins left to explode.
However, this also highlights how outrageous Bai Tu is. He has to scrape hard without any oil or water, and he is really not on the stage.
After all, you are also a captain, considered a senior officer!
Let’s get back to the topic.
The people on the roadside are now curious about where this big shot came from and happened to show up in this small and broken town.
Bai Tu, however, didn't care which big shot was sitting on the sedan chair, he directly stood in front of the sedan team and raised his hand to signal them to stop.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No matter how grand a person is, he can't be bigger than the imperial court. As a high-ranking captain, he has no fear at all!
The most important thing is that judging from the unique shape of this sedan chair, it is obvious that it has nothing to do with the imperial court. He is probably a businessman.
Hmm... Business should be big enough for a businessman.
He can afford to offend any number of people like this, so of course there is nothing to be afraid of.
In other words, not only was he not afraid, but he was also very happy!
After his intensive cultivation over the past few days, he has almost wiped out the surrounding towns and villages, and there is no profit to be squeezed out. That is to say, if he encounters businessmen and travelers who happen to be passing by, he can still make more money.
But it was a drop in the bucket for him.
And the large sedan team in front of us looks very promising, and maybe it can make up for it.
"Hmph, don't you know that the suspect is being searched here? You dare to go on a rampage, how brave!"
Hearing Bai Tu's scolding, one of the girls throwing flowers took a step forward, bowed slightly and replied:
"My master just came here. He doesn't know the local situation. I hope the general will take care of him."
"Who is your master?" Bai Tu asked with an evil look on his face, twirling his beard.
The girl was not afraid of him, and replied with a calm smile, "My master is the Huaying girl from Zuimenglou."
Flower shadow?
Hearing this name, Bai Tu couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.
Huaying from Zuimenglou is a famous oiran!
In the tea stall, Gao Jianli and Xiaoyaozi also captured what the girl said from a distance.
Gao Jianli whispered to Xiaoyaozi:
"Zuimeng Tower... is an industry owned by the farmer."
"The courtesan from Zuimenglou appears here at this time, probably because of the Shennong Order."
Xiaoyaozi nodded calmly, agreeing with Gao Jianli's judgment.
On the other side, Baitu Cola is blooming.
This Zuimeng Tower is a well-known gold-selling cave. It has always only received high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and the oiran inside is famous for her beauty...
Such a good thing happened to me, so I must not let it go!
To put it bluntly, since there are wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials who come in and out of Zuimeng Tower, there must be a strong and complex network of relationships behind it, which ordinary people cannot afford to offend.
Bai Tu, the captain of the school, was obviously not qualified enough to offend Zuimenglou.
But for a person like him who is used to being domineering, it is difficult for him to be frightened by the reputation of a mere romantic place. As for the network and farmers behind Zuimenglou... a brainless soldier like Bai Tu
, lust and greed rush to his heart for a moment, it is unrealistic for you to expect him to still have reason and brain.
Never mind him, let’s do it first!
Bai Tu, who had made up his mind, shouted to the flower shadow on the sedan chair without hesitation:
"I also know the name of Zuimenglou, but I am strictly investigating the suspects, and everyone must be treated equally!"
"Of course, Miss Huaying has a distinguished status, so... I, the general, will personally search your car!"
It was said to be a search, but looking at the lustful smile on Bai Tu's lips, one knew that he was going to do more than just a search.
The people in Zuimenglou definitely couldn't let Bai Tu do what he did. The girl who was speaking immediately stood in front of Bai Tu and tried to warn him in a more serious tone:
"General!"
But at this moment, Bai Tu obviously cannot be stopped by just anyone.
Looking at the girl standing in front of him, Bai Tu lowered his eyes and asked coldly:
"You dare to stop me from performing military duties!?"
Following Bai Tu's words, the surrounding soldiers also raised their weapons, and the situation immediately became tense.
It seems that Zuimenglou has no advantage here.
Although there are many people in their team, they are spreading flowers and accompanying people, but there is no one to escort them.
Facing a group of brainless soldiers who have no intention of reasoning, it seems that they can only suffer the loss of being dumb.
At this time, the real host on the sedan chair, Hua Ying, finally spoke:
"Qingruo, step back!"
"Don't contradict the general."
As expected of a famous courtesan, Hua Ying's voice is also charming, exciting, and makes people think a lot when listening to it.
However, he first scolded his own people for their actions, and seemed to be planning to bow to Bai Tu.
Seeing the girl obediently getting out of the way under the master's command, Bai Tu's heart became increasingly hot.
However, before he could be happy, Hua Ying's voice continued to sound:
"This little girl has just arrived at Guibao Land and has unintentionally disturbed the general. I hope you will forgive me."
"Excuse me, but I can't fool you here, General!" Bai Tu replied unceremoniously with a lewd smile.
Huaying under the curtain didn't seem worried at all, her tone was calm and calm, and she continued unhurriedly:
"Little girl, I know that people speak lightly, but with this thing in mind, can the adults give Hua Ying a little face?"
As he said that, the flower shadow behind the curtain stretched out a hand and handed out a square object. Qingruo reached out to catch it and then handed it to Bai Tu.
Before getting the things, Bai Tu looked down upon them.
No matter who you are related to, it won’t work here!
As an officer, if Bai Tu is determined not to lose face, then he can indeed ignore many powerful people.
Because the military has always been the most special.
But he couldn't avoid the face of this thing.
After taking the square object, Bai Tu sneered and looked down. His eyes suddenly widened, his smile disappeared, his whole body shivered, and cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
What Huaying handed out was a token with a pattern printed on one side and a simple word "order" engraved on the other side. The overall shape was like a tiger with an open mouth.
An ignorant person might not even be able to tell whose token this is at first glance.
But Bai Tu happened to know this token - it was the personal order of Wang Li, the commander of the Armor-Piercing Forces of Hundreds of Battles and the Imperial General!
Although he is a good-for-nothing idiot, he is not one that even the military bosses and his immediate superiors cannot recognize.
Bai Tu, who was justly carrying out military duties here, could indeed ignore many powerful people who were considered powerful to him, but General Wang Li, who also belonged to the military, was obviously not among them.
On the contrary, Wang Li, who was about to lead his army to Daze Mountain, happened to be the person that Bai Tu could not provoke.
No wonder his face turned pale with fright after he saw the token clearly.
As the oiran of Zuimenglou, Hua Ying can hold Wang Li's token of trust in her hand. In Bai Tu, or in the eyes of normal people, there is only one possibility - the two have a relationship that goes beyond friendship.
Regardless of the specific situation, whether Hua Ying is Wang Li's forbidden plaything or Wang Li is Hua Ying's guest, the relationship between them is very close, so close as to be zero distance or even negative distance.
I believe every man knows how powerful a woman's pillow wind is, and a guy like Bai Tu, who has all five poisons, will only know better.
As long as someone complains a little or two in front of the general, he will probably have to feed horses in the military camp for the rest of his life.
Hua Ying smiled coquettishly and continued:
"In Huaying's eyes, the general is really majestic. If he doesn't show his respect, Huaying will be heartbroken."
The charming voice that sounded gentle and smooth before now sounded like a curse in Bai Tu's ears. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to delay any more. He quickly reached out and handed back the token, and at the same time replied with a trembling smile. :
"Giving you a... face, of course... a nice face, Miss Huaying is so polite!"
Then, he waved his hand towards the soldiers behind him and yelled angrily:
"If you don't get out of the way quickly, you bunch of blind trash!"
Bai Tu, who is under great psychological pressure, needs an outlet, and now only his soldiers can play this role.
This group of big-headed soldiers could obviously see that the situation was not good, and they wisely retreated to both sides of the road to make room.
Seeing this, Hua Ying said with a smile, "The general really knows how to show mercy to women. Hua Ying must remember to make a deal with the general."
"I don't know the general's name, can you please enlighten me?"
As soon as Bai Tu heard this, his already pale face immediately turned three shades whiter, without any trace of blood.
Can this damn thing be mentioned to the general?
Bai Tu, who didn't dare to answer the conversation at all, could only bend down and respectfully put on a farewell gesture:
"No... no need to teach me, and no... no need to mention it, Miss Huaying, please, please!"
Seeing that he was completely subdued, Hua Ying stopped teasing him, and the sedan started its journey again, slowly going away amid Bai Tu's constant wiping of sweat and the girl's charming smile.
