Following this loud shout, dozens of officers and soldiers from the Hangzhou Guards held up their spears and were about to form a siege on the outside.
"Who are you? Do you want to protect the people around you?" Xiao Chen walked up to the hundred households and asked slowly, glancing at Liu Qi who was holding the other person's arm.
"I am the Hundred Household Guards of Hangzhou Prefecture. The Shuihu Gang is the gang responsible for water transportation within the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture. Of course, we must protect them. Who are you?" The Hundred Households were stunned and asked.
"Oh, you need to protect those who are indiscriminate. It turns out that they are all the same. Take your people and withdraw, and I will wipe out the Water Tiger Gang." Xiao Chen's voice was very low, as if he was chatting.
He turned around and looked at the Dongchang captain who was already preparing to take action: "Kill all the people from the Shuihu Gang, leaving no one behind."
"Unbridled..." The hundred households shouted angrily, as if they were about to go crazy.
As soon as the two words came out of his mouth, Duan Tianming kicked him back three steps, followed by a bright steel knife, which was already placed on the neck of the hundred households.
Xiao Chen smiled, slowly raised his right hand, and grabbed Liu Qi's neck, who was standing on the ground.
Liu Qi was completely at a loss.
Who are these people, who dare to attack hundreds of guards? And they clearly know that once Xiao Chen's hand grabs his neck, it will undoubtedly be a dead end.
He wanted to escape, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, trembling and unable to move an inch.
"You said you let me go, but you can't kill me..."
"I let you go, but you bit me back in front of me, so I plan to send you to reunite with the deputy leader of the Water Tiger Gang. Don't worry, you still have hundreds of people to take with you when you get there.
, continue to be your gang leader."
Putting his hands on Liu Qi's neck, Xiao Chen comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
With a slight force on her hand, there was a "click", and Liu Qi's cervical vertebrae were pinched, her head tilted, and her eyes slowly closed.
In a short time, the yard was already filled with blood.
Two to three hundred members of the Water Tiger Gang were all lying on the ground, piled on top of each other.
The forty or fifty officers and soldiers of Hangzhou Prefecture, holding long spears, could not help but tremble.
Not to mention that the adults of one hundred households have been subdued, even if they were not subdued, if people like them rushed forward, they would only make the pile of dead people on the ground bigger, and they would not be able to play any role.
There are more than a dozen men in powerful uniforms in this courtyard, and their skills are too strong. Not to mention the small soldiers like myself, I am afraid that even one of the thousands of households in front of the army who have been fighting all year round cannot deal with them.
After strangling the leader of the Water Tiger Gang to death, Xiao Chen looked at the Baihu who had Duan Tianming holding a knife on his neck and said, "Go back and ask your Hangzhou government officials to come."
Then he glanced at the faces of the forty or fifty guard officers and soldiers and said, "Clean up the yard and find a place to bury these corpses."
Yang Hu, the prefect of the Hangzhou government office, was holding a secret letter from the capital in his hand. He stood blankly on the ground with his brows furrowed, feeling confused and unsure of what to do.
This secret letter was urgently sent by Zuo Wenshan, the Minister of Household Affairs, who was the representative of merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the DPRK. The secret letter stated that the imperial court sent the Dongchang Xiaowei to assist Zheng He in investigating the numerous silk and silk matters in the south of the Yangtze River.
, asked Yang Hu to make arrangements and prepare to deal with the investigation of Dongchang.
Finally, I gave a special warning: Never have any conflicts with people from Dongchang, because they have the privilege of killing on the spot without asking for any reason.
Although Wang Dachuan had been specifically told to hide the silk today, Yang Hu still felt uneasy when he saw the word Dongchang.
Wang Dachuan may not know, but he, Yang Hu, is clearly aware of Dongchang's terror.
First, there was the emperor's edict announcing Dongchang's rights to the world, and then there was the fact that Dongchang captured Liao Xianghe, the prison leader of the Jinyi Guards, and beheaded Cangcheng, the Minister of Rites, in public.
Hundreds of officials submitted letters, and the emperor purged the entire Ministry of Rites. All of them explained the status of Dongchang in the emperor's heart.
If someone from Dongchang comes to Hangzhou and is not careful, many years of business may be ruined, or even their lives may be at risk.
No, I will go to Wang Dachuan again and give him the instructions again.
Yang Hu put the secret letter in his arms and was about to go out.
"Prefect, it's not good, it's not good." A voice came from outside the door.
The Baihu who were released gasped for air, held their helmets in their hands, and hurried in.
Sweat dripped from his head, whether it was cold sweat or hot sweat from running, and flowed down his cheeks. He stood in front of Yang Hu and bowed, wanting to report, but for a long time he couldn't utter a single word.
"The army is not in good shape, how can it be decent? What's the matter with coming here in such a hurry?" Yang Hu glared at the other party with dissatisfaction.
"Lord Qi, more than ten people came to the city and wiped out the Shuihu Gang." Baihu said with a look of horror.
"What?" Yang Hu thought he heard wrongly.
The Shuihu Gang had thousands of members, and a dozen people killed more than a thousand people?
"In the Shuihu Gang's camp, gang leader Liu Qi, deputy gang leader Chu Wen, and two to three hundred gang members have all been killed by them."
"Bold, killing so many people in our Hangzhou Prefecture shows that our Hangzhou Prefecture and the imperial court are not looking down upon us. What do you do for a living and don't lead people to arrest them and bring them to justice?"
Yang Hu was furious and almost roared.
Killing two to three hundred people at once, such a huge case, if you don't arrest people first, then come here to report, what else is there to report?
Yang Hu stared at the hundred households, as if he wanted to eat him.
"Sir, I'm going down. But..." The hundred households stammered and couldn't speak.
"What time is it? What are you doing? Tell me what you are doing." Yang Hu slapped his palm on the table, knocking the tea bowl on the table to the ground. It broke into several pieces with a "crash" and the tea splashed everywhere.
All.
"All the fifty guards brought by my subordinates were detained by them. They asked me to come back and report the news, and named the manager of Hangzhou Prefecture to meet him." Baihu lowered his head, holding his mighty helmet in his hand,
The only way.
"Haha." Yang Hu was amused, "If you want the stewards of Hangzhou Prefecture to meet him, then you want me, the prefect, to meet him. What kind of gangster is so arrogant? Inform Wei Qianhu and gather all the guards in the city.
Army, follow me to encircle and suppress them."
Yang Hu never thought that the other party would be from Dongchang.
In his mind, when Dongchang handles a case, he must first contact him and get support from the Hangzhou government before launching an investigation.
What's more, the one who was wiped out was the Shuihu Gang. This should be a gang fight caused by revenge or territory grabbing.
However, the Shuihu Gang is his own effective water transport personnel and is protected by the Hangzhou government. No matter how big his background is, if he touches his own interests in the territory of the Hangzhou government, he is seeking death.
