Facing the approach of the sergeants, the Koreans on the opposite side couldn't help but change their expressions. They had been fighting with those gangsters just now and did not notice the difference between these sergeants. Only now did they realize that these sergeants in full armor were different from them since they came to Ming Dynasty.
What they saw was completely different. Just by taking one step forward together, people felt an invisible pressure rushing towards them. This was the aura of elite soldiers who had fought hundreds of battles.
At this time, a man ran out from among these Koreans. This middle-aged man, about forty years old, came to Pang Gang and bowed deeply: "My lord, please don't get me wrong, we are all
We are good people who came to Ming Dynasty from North Korea to escape the war, we are not bad people!"
"Good people!" Pang Gang didn't want to hear his explanation and said calmly: "Are there any good people who take to the streets with weapons? According to the Ming Dynasty law, no one is allowed to carry weapons unless authorized by officials, soldiers or the government. Violators will be severely punished.
!Tell me, which of the above do you meet?"
"this......."
The middle-aged man suddenly became speechless after hearing this. Although he wanted to say that the Ming law was nothing, how many people still abide by it these days? But he also knew that if he dared to say this in front of this Ming officer
He will definitely not see the sun tomorrow.
At this time, the doll-like Xibei who pretended to be a man spoke. She stared at her cute big eyes and said: "None of the officials in your Ming Dynasty are good people. That's the case with your Magistrate Lu. Now you
The same goes for this soldier, why can those gangsters get weapons but we can't?"
Pang Gang sneered: "If they violate the ban, they will naturally be under the jurisdiction of the local government. I can't control it and I don't bother to do it. But you are foreigners. Carrying weapons in the Ming Dynasty is too harmful, so I have to interrogate your origins."
Okay, come here, take them all down!"
"Yes!" All the sergeants agreed in unison, pointing the muskets in their hands at the Koreans in front of them.
"Crash!"
Facing the black muzzles and gleaming spears of the cannons, all the Koreans looked at the Xibei guy and the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Pang Gang and the sergeants around him, and whispered to the Xibei guy next to him: "Mr....Miss, you have thrown down your weapons. There is no point in resisting."
"Master Park, I..." This Xibei guy with a cute baby face had a depressed look on his face, his little face wrinkled up, and he still held the dagger in his hand angrily.
There was a crisp sound on the ground.
The middle-aged man looked at Pang Gang's solemn expression and the sergeants around him, and sighed deeply, then threw the short blade in his hand to the ground as if resigned to his fate.
"Tingling!"
A short and rapid metal collision sounded on the ground. The remaining dozen or so Koreans also knew that playing with knives in front of so many heavily guarded and capable soldiers was no different from seeking death. Now they saw that their two leaders had surrendered.
After getting rid of their weapons, they all threw their weapons on the ground.
"Take them all back to the military camp!" Pang Gang saw that these Koreans had obediently disarmed, and ordered his people to collect all the weapons on the ground, and then waved his hand to take these people back to the military camp outside the city.
When Pang Gang led a group of soldiers to suppress the Koreans and walked out of the city, suddenly a group of government officials and policemen ran from the front. The leader of the government officials came to Pang Gang. When he saw
Pang Gang quickly knelt down to Pang Gang and said, "Shen Mo, deputy inspector of the Inspection Department of the Prefecture, has met your Excellency."
"Get up!"
Pang Gang, who was riding on the horse, waved his hand, and Shen Mo took advantage of the situation to stand up, and then said respectfully: "Sir, these Koreans openly fought with people in the street with weapons and injured six people. I am here to serve the magistrate." Your Majesty ordered these people to be taken back for interrogation."
"You're talking nonsense!" The Xibei girl who was pressed in the middle by the sergeants became anxious. Her pink face turned as red as a red apple. She cursed angrily and softly: "You bad guys, how dare you Calling a horse a deer, they were the ones who made the move first, but you only come to arrest us, you are so bad."
"Pfft!" Pang Gang couldn't help laughing as soon as this Xibei guy said this. This Xibei guy was really a genius. She could even reverse the idiom "referring to a deer as a horse".
Shen Mo said righteously: "What this girl said is wrong. The magistrate will judge the right and wrong. You don't have to be afraid of being wronged."
"Oh!" Hearing this, Pang Gang, who was sitting on horseback, asked with great interest: "Deputy Inspector Shen, I want to ask you, if you are convicted of armed fighting, what will be your sentence?"
Shen Mo answered without hesitation: "If it is proved correct, the lighter case will be one year in prison, and the worst case will be exiled for three thousand miles and never return to the place of origin! But this has to be decided by the prefect."
"Oh, this scale is really flexible enough." Pang Gang shook his head secretly. Penalties these days are really not rigorous. The same case, ranging from one year in prison to life imprisonment, is decided by the prefect or the county magistrate alone. How much power-for-money transactions will occur in this process.
Thinking of this, Pang Gang glanced at the Koreans behind him, including the Xibei guy. Everyone's eyes showed despair.
Pang Gang couldn't help but thought: "Could it be that these people have some grudge against Lu Yingzhi's hometown?"
After Shen Mo finished speaking, he looked at Pang Gang eagerly, waiting for Pang Gang to hand over these Koreans to him. In his opinion, these Koreans were just some foreigners from the vassal country, insignificant, General Pang would not do it for You should offend the prefect for this little thing.
But Shen Mo, the deputy inspector of the Inspection Department, forgot one thing, that is, his immediate boss had just offended General Pang in front of him. Therefore, the general in front of him simply gave him a slap in the face. A ladle of cold water.
"No, these North Koreans were caught by me, and they are suspected of assassinating me. I can't hand these people over to you." Pang Gang shook his head like a wave drum, and after finishing speaking, he waved his hand in a swaggering manner. They took these Koreans out.
Shen Mo became anxious when he saw it, and he quickly shouted: "Sir, you just took these people away like this. I can't explain it to the prefect."
Pang Gang rode on the horse and glanced at Shen Mo with sharp eyes, "Go back and tell Magistrate Lu that I have taken these people away. If you are not convinced, you can come to my big tent and ask for them!"
After saying that, Pang Gang clamped his horse's belly and led a group of people to run forward. Only Shen Mo and a group of dozens of government officials were left watching blankly as Pang Gang and his group disappeared from their sight as they headed north. .
After a long time, a government official asked blankly: "Shen Tou, do we still want to catch up?"
With a sound of "Pa!", the clueless yamen officer was slapped hard by Shen Mo. The furious Shen Mo cursed: "You idiot, if you want to die, go do it yourself, don't drag me with you, Now I will join the Yamen and return to duty."
After saying that, an angry Shen Mo took the lead and walked forward.
Not to mention how Shen Mo returned to Lu Yingzhi, Pang Gang took the Koreans to the military camp outside the city and did not give them a rest. Instead, he immediately mentioned the Xibei guy and the middle-aged man to his big brother.
The interrogation began in the tent.
The temporary tent was very simple, with a wooden pier being used as Pang Gang's chair. In the tent were Pang Gang's soldier captain Cheng Kai and four soldiers, the Xibei guy and the middle-aged man.
The man just stood in front of Pang Gang less than ten steps away.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Pang Gang looked very serious: "But before you answer my question, don't think about using those excuses to fool me. My patience is very limited. If your answer does not satisfy me, then I don't mind."
Send you back to the magistrate's office in Dengzhou or execute you personally."
Pang Gang's murderous words stunned both of them. Xibei's face instantly turned pale, and her eye circles immediately turned red. She turned her head to look at her companion beside her, but the middle-aged man
He closed his eyes tightly for a while, then slowly opened them with a look of pain. He slowly asked: "General, before we tell you where you came from, can you identify yourself?"
"Of course." Pang Gang nodded, "I am the Commander-in-Chief of Qingzhou, General Dingyuan, guarding Qingzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou, General Pang Gang."
"Can you tell me your origins now?"
"Is that your official position or that of Dengzhou Lu Zhifu?" This Xibei guy still asked persistently after hearing Pang Gang's words.
"Logically speaking, my officer is older than his." Pang Gang estimated that this Xibei guy is usually a fool who never goes out of his way.
"Then can you arrest that Magistrate Lu? He is too bad."
Pang Gang stretched out his hand to hold his head and smiled bitterly. This Xibei guy is really talented.
Fortunately, the middle-aged man next to her stopped his young lady's almost idiotic speech and said with a wry smile: "Miss, this is impossible. This huge man is a general who leads troops. Although he is also in charge of Dengzhou.
Defense, but he has no right to deal with the civil servants in Dengzhou, because this is contrary to the separation of civil and military affairs pursued by the Ming Dynasty."
"Well, it seems that you are quite familiar with our Ming officials.
Tell me, who are you?" Pang Gang couldn't help but glance at him in surprise.
The middle-aged man formally stood up straight, bowed to Pang Gang, and said respectfully: "Pu Shunyi, the officer in charge of the Korean Imperial Guard, comes to pay homage to His Excellency, General of the Ming Dynasty!" After saying that, he took out a bottle from his body.
A big seal with four directions was raised above his head respectfully.
Cheng Kai on the side took the big seal and presented it to Pang Gang. Pang Gang took the big seal and took a look. The big seal was actually carved from a piece of white jade, with the words "Korean Imperial Guard Engaged in Official Seal" written in Chinese characters on it.
Although Pang Gang couldn't tell whether the seal was genuine or not, he believed it in his heart.
