A gust of sea breeze blew in the face of Mou Rongtian and others. One of the lieutenants had an itchy nose and sneezed. Mou Rongtian had already given instructions to the lieutenants to sneak around quietly and not to make any noise to alert the pirates. But sneezing was such a thing.
, it’s not easy to hold it in. If I couldn’t hold it in for a while, I sneezed out, which is understandable.
People in the Ming Dynasty had three ways to sneeze.
The first is to cover your mouth and squirt softly. The second is to not cover your mouth, but the sound is not loud, just squirt naturally without any special force. The third is to take the opportunity of sneezing to squirt.
Shout out the word "ah sneeze" loudly, preferably so that people two miles away can hear it, and that will be a pleasant way to let go of the stuffy feeling in your chest.
The captain was not happy that he was selected to participate in this operation. He used the third method of sneeze, which was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and the sound shook the valley.
There was silence all around. Mou Rongtian was unprepared for the sudden sound. He was startled and thought to himself: "His uncle, who is this?"
There were two thieves sentries at the entrance of the cave. Since the Cyclops lived in the cave, they didn't dare to be lazy and didn't even sleep. The sneeze alerted the two of them. When they followed the sound, they saw a group of people approaching in the dark in the distance. They were all frightened.
They jumped greatly and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Oh no, the army is coming!" They didn't see clearly whether the other party was an army or not, and they thought it was probably an army.
Mou Rongtian thought to himself: "Oh no, they found out." He gave the order and led the captains into the thieves' lair. The thieves rushed out of the tent and started a melee with the Jin Yiwei.
Mou Rongtian knew that the one-eyed dragon lived in the cave, so he went straight to the cave. When he saw a one-eyed man with a blindfold on his left eye rushing out of the cave and coming towards him, he expected that this guy was the one-eyed dragon, so he ran over and slashed his shoulder with a knife.
.
That man was the one-eyed dragon. He waved his sword to fight and fought with Mou Rongtian.
The one-eyed dragon had two attacks, and his martial arts was quite good, but these two attacks were in vain in front of Mou Rongtian. In the blink of an eye, the two fought for seven or eight times. Seeing that he was no match, the one-eyed dragon pulled out a short musket from his lower back and pointed the black muzzle at Mou Rongtian's.
In my heart, I pulled the trigger.
There was only a "bang" sound in the ear, and a projectile hit Mou Rongtian's heart, but it did not penetrate the iron cloth shirt and only opened a hole in the clothes.
The one-eyed dragon was shocked and thought: "This guy actually knows how to wear a cloth shirt. This battle can't be fought. If we continue to fight, my life will be at stake. I have to run away." Thinking of this, he feinted with a knife, wiped his head and ran away.
, Mou Rongtian followed.
The one-eyed dragon ran all the way east, looking back as he ran, and saw Mou Rongtian chasing after him. He ran for dozens of miles and came to the seaside. He was happy and thought to himself: "When we get to the sea, you are no match for me.
How can I spare you if you press me so hard and you have to put me to death? I have to kill you."
The one-eyed dragon stood on the beach, waiting for Mou Rongtian to run closer, and said: "Boy, do you dare to practice in the water with me?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Why don't you dare?"
The one-eyed dragon threw the sailor sword and plunged into the water. Mou Rongtian returned the tiger-headed sword to its sheath, jumped into the water, and started a water fight with the one-eyed dragon.
Taking advantage of his superior water ability, the one-eyed dragon wanted to catch Mou Rongtian in the water and choke him to death. Unexpectedly, Mou Rongtian's water ability was even higher than his own. Mou Rongtian choked him to death after being filled with water.
Mou Rongtian dragged the one-eyed dragon ashore, let him lie on his back, tapped his acupuncture points, and then crossed his fingers to press on his bulging belly. The one-eyed dragon spit out several mouthfuls of sea water, woke up, and saw Mou Rongtian standing in front of him, wanting to go again.
He struggled with it, but could not move. He stared at Mou Rongtian with hatred and shouted: "Who are you?"
Mou Rongtian stood beside him and said: "I am the official Mou Rongtian."
The one-eyed dragon said bitterly: "So you are Iron Tiger Mou Rongtian. It will be unlucky for me to meet you. Please give me a good time."
Mou Rongtian said: "You can have fun if you want, but you must answer my questions truthfully."
The one-eyed dragon said: "What do you want to ask?"
Mou Rongtian said: "You went to Ye's house to rob, just for money, why did you kill everyone in the house?"
The one-eyed dragon said: "I just like killing people, so why not?"
Mou Rongtian hummed and said, "It seems you don't want to tell the truth." He didn't want to press any further. There were no torture tools here, so it was difficult to extract a confession. So he took the one-eyed dragon back to the pirate's lair.
By this time the battle was over, most of the pirates were dead or wounded, and the rest surrendered and knelt in a large area in the valley.
Mou Rongtian led his troops back to the Ningde County Government Office and put the pirates into cells. When the Ningde County Magistrate saw that he had captured so many pirates, he had to appear in court for interrogation one by one. He was very unhappy about this hard work, but he did not dare to complain.
Mou Rongtian used the county government hall to interrogate Cyclops. He sat behind the case, Cyclops knelt in front of the case, and Baiyun Shuangjian, Shi Yi and others stood on either side.
Mou Rongtian said: "One-eyed dragon, I advise you to tell the truth truthfully, so as not to hurt your flesh and blood."
"Hmph..." The one-eyed dragon sneered, "If you, Mou, have any instruments of torture, feel free to use them on me. If I frown, I am not considered a hero."
Mou Rong added: "Well, I want to see how hard your bones are. Capture Li and cut off one of his fingers."
Li Captou asked two government officials to push Cyclops to the ground. Cyclops clenched his fists tightly. Li Captou opened his right hand and stepped on it. Cyclops struggled but couldn't get away.
Li Captou asked the yamen servant to bring him a shiny dagger, squatted down and asked, "Master Mou, which finger should you cut off?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Whatever."
Li Qiao slashed his head and cut off the index finger of Cyclops' right hand, causing Cyclops to scream in pain.
Mou Rong added: "One-eyed dragon, it feels bad to have your fingers chopped off. Do you want to recruit me?"
The one-eyed dragon gritted his teeth and shouted: "Mou, I've been your ancestor for eight generations, but I won't do anything to you. Let's see what you can do to me?"
Mou Rong added: "It seems that your bones are a bit hard. Mr. Li will chop off his fingers one by one until he is willing to do it."
Li Captou cut his head again, and the middle finger of Cyclops' right hand was gone. With another cut, his ring finger also said goodbye. Cyclops was in excruciating pain and passed out.
The yamen servant splashed the cold well water to wake up the one-eyed dragon. Li Shaotou kept cutting with his dagger and continued to chop. The one-eyed dragon had no fingers left on his right hand to chop, so Li Shaotou started to chop off the fingers of his left hand again. The one-eyed dragon made a heartbeat, which was
Refusing to admit it, he chopped off three fingers on his left hand and fainted again from the pain.
The yamen servant poured cold water on him to wake him up. After a while, the one-eyed dragon's left hand had no fingers.
The one-eyed dragon lay on the ground, stared up at Mou Rongtian, and shouted bitterly: "My surname is Mou, I'm not done with you, and I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."
Mou Rongtian said: "Your bones are a bit hard, and it seems you still don't want to confess. Mr. Li used pliers to pull out his teeth one by one until he confessed."
Capt. Li asked the yamen servant to get a vise. The one-eyed dragon's face was pressed to the ground and refused to raise his head. A yamen servant grabbed his bun and lifted his head. The one-eyed dragon clenched his teeth tightly and refused to open his mouth.
Capt. Li pinched his cheeks with his left hand, forcing him to open his mouth. The vise bit one of the Cyclops' front teeth and pulled it down. The Cyclops let out an "oops" and the door was pulled out.
Li Li pulled out his head one by one. After pulling out more than a dozen teeth, he said: "Master Mou, the teeth inside are difficult to pull out."
Mou Rongtian said: "Then kill them all."
Capt. Li used the pliers to hit the Cyclops's cheeks, knocking out the remaining teeth.
The one-eyed dragon shouted: "I don't want anyone named Mou, what can you do to me?" He became a toothless old lady, and even his voice changed.
Mou Rongtian said: "One-eyed dragon, your bones are really hard. I like to gnaw hard bones. I have to take you down today." He stood up, walked slowly to the side of the one-eyed dragon, and said: "Let him look up.
Lying on his face, he took off his pants and spread his legs."
The officials followed the orders one by one.
Mou Rongtian raised his foot and stepped on the thing in the crotch of the Cyclops, slowly applying force. The Cyclops grinned and the pain was unbearable. Just when Mou Rongtian was about to crush the thing, the Cyclops couldn't hold on any longer and shouted: "
The surnamed Mou is a tough one, so don’t step on me, I’ll do it.”
After Mou Rongtian returned to the public case, he said: "One-eyed dragon, tell the truth about the reason why you are about to kill the Ye family."
The one-eyed dragon said: "I had a mistress named Pan in Shibalipo, Ningde. After her husband died, everyone called her Widow Pan. That day I went ashore and was going to Shibalipo to meet Widow Pan. Unexpectedly, I met the widow Pan on the way.
Got a person."
The one-eyed dragon recalled the scene that day.
That day he walked to a forest and suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "One-eyed dragon!"
He turned around and saw a masked man wearing a hat and black clothes standing not far away with a bag slung over his shoulder.
The one-eyed dragon was startled, pulled out the sailor's sword from his back, pointed it at the man, and asked: "Who are you?"
The man said in ventriloquism: "Don't be nervous, this family has no ill intentions. I want to negotiate a deal with you."
The one-eyed dragon said: "What kind of deal? Let's talk about it."
The man said: "A certain family wants you to take people to rob Ye Chaorong's house in Fuqing County. After robbing the property, they will kill everyone in his house, especially Ye Chaorong. You must kill him. Are you willing to do this deal?"
catch?"
The one-eyed dragon said: "Lao Yetou's eldest son is the chief minister of the current dynasty. Killing the chief minister's father is no small matter."
The man said: "What? Are you afraid?"
"Ha..." the one-eyed dragon laughed, "I never know what it means to be afraid. It just depends on how much money you are willing to give. This is too risky. If you give me less, I will not agree."
The man said: "Don't worry, a certain family will never treat you badly." He took off the baggage from his shoulders, threw it in front of the one-eyed dragon, and said, "Do you think these are enough?"
The one-eyed dragon squatted down, put the sailor's knife on the ground, opened the bag, and saw dozens of fifty-two gold ingots inside. The yellow, orange, and golden light shone in all directions. The one-eyed dragon's eyes lit up and he was elated as he counted them.
, a total of thirty ingots, he knotted the heavy baggage and tied it up, carried it in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'll take this deal."
