"What's going on?" someone among the Japanese pirates muttered.
The door behind him suddenly slammed shut again.
Those people were startled and turned around hastily.
Many people suddenly appeared on the city wall and at the windows of the inn, holding blunderbuss and pointing their muzzles downwards.
The thieves realized they had been fooled and rushed towards the door one after another.
They were hysterical and shouting in panic.
Zhu Bai, who was standing at the window on the third floor, understood the sentence: "Baga."
Suddenly, flames burst out, accompanied by a deafening "bang bang bang" sound, annihilating the shouts and wailings of the Japanese pirates.
The time for half a stick of incense was gone, and no one was left standing in the yard.
All the torches were lit, illuminating the courtyard like daylight.
The huge courtyard was covered with corpses lying on two levels.
The moist mist was filled with the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder.
Then there was deathly silence.
Zhu Biao, who was hiding in the room, looked pale and couldn't help but run to the side and retched.
Hu Dafa, who was following Zhu Bai, also felt a little weak: Zhu Bai was really kind to him.
Only then did he realize that this courtyard was actually an urn, perfect for beating dogs behind closed doors.
Zhu Bai stood at the window and calmly told the guards: "Don't panic, just give it another round, lest someone pretends to be dead."
His slightly childish voice echoed over the inn, especially clear.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were several people hiding in the corner, struggling to crawl towards the door.
"Damn it, someone is really pretending to be dead." The guards reloaded and fired another round.
Zhu Bai said: "Don't let the guards on the city wall come down. Load ammunition to guard the perimeter. Now everyone in the post station goes down to see whether he is dead or not. First stab him with a knife, then take him out and throw him outside the door. We will bury him tomorrow morning."
Zhu Bai asked Fugui and Hu Dafa: "Have you made it clear just now? How many people have come in in total?"
Fugui: "Two hundred and eight."
Hu Dafa: "Yes, two hundred and eight."
Zhu Bai asked the stationmaster: "Did you hear clearly? Two hundred and eight, not one less."
The stationmaster complained endlessly: How long will it take to bury more than two hundred corpses?
Zhu Bai looked at the two agents huddled in the corner and said, "Tell them to bury them. After they are buried, send them to the government."
The two people were gagged, and they could only scream "oooooooo" at this moment.
Zhu Bai knew that they were begging for mercy, so he said coldly: "This is not the first time that you have acted as internal agents for Japanese pirates, and you have also helped Japanese pirates to investigate. Do you feel that you are unjust? If you can explain your identity as soon as you come in, I can do it."
I am considerate of you and will spare your life. But you are stubborn and stubborn. If I had not exposed you, you would have opened the door for the Japanese pirates by now."
The two men lowered their heads.
"You have relatives who died tragically at the hands of Japanese pirates. You didn't want to take revenge, but you acted as an accomplice. It's really abominable, and you deserve to die worse than those Japanese pirates." Zhu Bo waved his hands to the people around him, "Take them down to carry out the bodies. Don't do anything until they die.
Leave them alone."
Hu Dafa also said: "Your Highness, let me kill them with one blow. If you keep them, it will be a waste of food."
Zhu Bai said calmly: "You are helping them by killing them now. Do you know how miserable they will be if they fall into the hands of my father?"
Hu Dafa thought about the men peeling day lilies at the gate of Xicheng City, shuddered, and said nothing again.
Someone came up and asked, "King Xiang, what should I do with those large piles of Japanese knives?"
These knives are different from the knives the guards usually use, so they are useless if they are kept and dangerous if they are thrown away.
Zhu Bai said: "The steel was melted to make weapons, and the handles were left and hung on the outer wall. I would like to see if any Japanese pirates dare to approach in the future!"
Although hanging human heads on the city wall would be more shocking, he felt it was too cruel and could not do it.
Besides, the inn was a place for his subordinates to go and rest, so he didn't want to make it so bloody and terrifying.
Zhu Bai went upstairs to check on Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao's face was pale and his head was covered in cold sweat.
From time to time, screams could be heard outside the window. They were the sounds of guards cleaning the battlefield and finishing blows downstairs.
Zhu Biao's lips trembled: "Twelfth brother, why are you..."
Zhu Bai has never been on the battlefield. How can a big kid be so calm and cold-blooded?!
Zhu Bai suddenly puckered his lips and threw himself into Zhu Biao's arms, howling: "It's so scary! Brother, I'm so scared. But I have to protect my brother. No matter how scared I am, I can only hold on."
He was really scared.
But just now Zhu Biao looked like he had no idea. If he didn't stand up, there would be more than a hundred people in this station, including them, who would be in real danger.
Zhu Biao's tense body relaxed and he patted Zhu Bai on the back: "It's hard for you too."
The guards following Zhu Bai exchanged glances: This young prince is really divided.
The cold-blooded behavior downstairs just now made their hair stand on end.
Now he looks like a serious child.
Fugui, who had been following Zhu Bai with a firecracker, waved to the people next to him and led everyone back.
Coming out of Zhu Biao's room, Zhu Bai said to Fugui: "The firecrackers made by the War Bureau this time were okay, but the aim of the second shot was not as good as the first shot. It was probably because the recoil was too strong and the shock made the man's hand numb. Moreover,
The charge is slow, remember to remind me when you get back to ask them to improve."
-----
Half of the people were on guard, and the other half were moving the corpses. It took half an hour to finish moving.
The two "inside agents" were tied up and thrown into a pile of dead people.
Then Zhu Bai ordered him to close the door of the inn and sleep, and then get up in the morning and continue on his way.
It's just that Zhu Biao couldn't sleep. When he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the sound of gunfire, screams and the pungent smell of blood.
When I woke up in the morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds and there was no wind at all.
The ground in the yard has been washed clean with water, and the air is filled with the moist and warm aroma of rosin.
If it weren't for the bullet marks on the inner city wall and the outer wall of the small building, as well as the pile of corpses at the door, Zhu Biao would have suspected that he just had a nightmare last night.
The two big enemies were digging a hole on the hillside in the distance under the watch of two guards.
The post station over there has sent people to deliver the letter quickly to Changzhou and Yingtian.
First, I wanted to report this matter to Lao Zhu.
Secondly, Zhu Bai was checking for loopholes and requested that guards be sent to follow even when delivering letters in the future to prevent similar things from happening again. At the same time, he asked the Guan Ya Bureau to send people to find the two murdered newcomers to the Guan Ya Bureau and provide compensation to their families.
When Zhu Bai saw the pile of bloody corpses, he felt sick and urged everyone to get on the road quickly.
After what happened last night, the guards were very nervous and surrounded Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao, making the speed much slower.
Zhu Bai said: "It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this. In the battle last night, the Japanese pirates were completely wiped out. We had zero casualties. Why do you make it look like we lost the battle?"
The leader of the guard whispered: "Your Highness, my subordinates are afraid that there may be an ambush."
