Volume 1 Chapter 716 Horse Thief

Chapter 716 Horse Thief

When checking for information about Zhang Pa that day, he found out about the two people who were eating at the same table. He knew that they were civilians in the city and had no power, so he wanted to extort some money from them. No matter what, I was beaten, and someone had to be responsible. You know, I am an official and cannot be bullied casually. This was the idea of ​​the clerk. He really didn't want to torture the two people, but just wanted to get some money to vent his anger.

So he waited for a long time after Zhang Pa left, and did it only when it was dark. He said clearly that he wanted money. If he didn't give him money, he would stay in jail. The crime was attacking an official appointed by the court.

How could he be considered an official? At most, he was a clerk, but people are like this. It is always difficult to recognize themselves. They think that they have the capital to be arrogant after wearing a layer of skin.

He locked people up with great prestige and waited for the two families to send the silver for apology. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, a guard at the city gate sent someone to pass back the news that the carriage that left the city during the day was back.

Even in a prosperous capital, the gates have to be closed at night, not to mention a city that has just experienced a flood and is not yet stable. At this time, Zhang Pa was locked up outside the city. Because the two people were temporarily safe in the prison, he did not plan to enter the city at night. He did not care where he stayed. Anyway, he had to solve the problem. He wanted to rescue the two people in a peaceful way.

It was easy to deal with the clerk, but the trouble was what if another clerk appeared after he left? The two families would still be bullied. If I had known, I should not have contacted the two people and caused trouble for no reason.

The most troublesome thing was that the clerk was not guilty of death. What kind of crime was cursing? Although blackmailing people was hateful, the reason was to vent one's anger. Although the means of venting anger were not good, there was always a reason. Zhang Pa was thinking about beating him up again?

It is said that misfortunes never come alone. Unlucky things happened at the same time. He was waiting for the city gate to open tomorrow, and he actually encountered robbers in the middle of the night. A horse team of more than 30 people rumbled from the north. Some of them carried big bags, and some carried women on their horses, kidnapping people and robbing money.

The appearance of the horse thieves made Zhang Pa very confused. How could the border of the Great Yue Kingdom be so unsafe? He thought to himself: "Because of the dispute in the restaurant, I was attacked by the demon cultivators. Let's see what troubles the horse thieves can cause me?"

I don't know what the soldiers guarding the city think. The city gate is closed, and there is not even a lantern. It's pitch black. Even a torch will do. The horse team went south from a hundred steps outside the city gate. When they saw a dark shadow under the city gate, some people were curious and rode over to take a look. Then they whistled and attracted more people.

A lonely carriage under the city gate tempted these guys. One sheep is driven, and two sheep are released. They can't miss it if they pass by. If they happen to meet, they will go together. They surrounded the carriage in a flash. No matter if there was money in the carriage, at least they could rob a horse. If there was a woman in the carriage, it would be even better.

Zhang Pa let them surround him and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

The men on the horses were all strong and sturdy. They laughed loudly when they heard the words. Someone asked with a smile: "Why does he ask us?" Someone replied: "Then just tell him?" These people were not afraid of the government troops in the city. They continued to laugh loudly and said to Zhang Pa word by word: "Fuck you."

Well, I was defeated by you again. The people in this world are so colorful. Even the scolding is so unique. Looking at the women on the horses and the bags behind them, he asked softly: "Are you horse thieves?"

When asking this question, I was thinking, are there horse thieves in the south? I always heard that there are horse thieves in the north, but I have never seen them. Today I have a chance to open my eyes.

There was a commotion outside, and a head popped out from the city gate and shouted, "What are you making noise about? Disperse quickly, do you all want to die?"

Just as he finished shouting, someone in the horse team below yelled back, "Come on, Grandpa wants to die, do you dare to come out and kill me? Open the city gate quickly, come and kill Grandpa." The voice was so loud that it spread far in the quiet night, startling more guards.

In the city and outside the city, none of these soldiers spoke nicely. Zhang Pa turned around and saw the carriage door open. A child came out and asked, "Brother, what happened?" Zhang Pa corrected him earnestly, "Remember, I am your master, not your brother." "No, you are your brother, and your brother is a relative, but your master is not a relative?" The child's outspokenness shocked Zhang Pa, and he was a little moved, but he still said seriously, "Who said that the master is not a relative? Master, master, first a master and then a father..." Before he finished talking, a group of horse thieves became impatient and someone shouted loudly, "Get out of the carriage quickly, otherwise don't blame grandpa for being blind." One by one, they drew their waist knives, showed off their power, and screamed to scare people. Zhang Pa was not good for the horse thieves, so he continued to talk: "... Once a teacher, always a father, the old saying is reasonable, you must remember it." "Remember your head." A horse thief shouted and swung his knife. Zhang Pa did not turn around, but suddenly a hard iron knife appeared in his hand. With a light swing of the black knife, he cut the man and the knife into two pieces. Then he turned around and said, "You deserve to die."

Zhang Pa's action was so fast that the horse thieves were startled. They pulled the reins and rode back a few steps. Their eyes changed from joking to cautious. One of them asked, "May I ask your name, friend?"

Zhang Pa ignored him, pushed the child into the car, and walked over with the big black knife. He wanted to kill people anyway, so he didn't want to talk nonsense with the dead.

More than 30 horse thieves noticed something was wrong, and someone shouted, "Thieves, do you dare to kill soldiers and rebel?"

"Oh?" Zhang Pa stopped and looked at the horse thieves one by one. The horses were well-equipped. Apart from the clothes, they really had a military spirit. He asked, "Are you soldiers?"

The man who called out thought he was frightening Zhang Afraid, and sneered: "Have you ever heard of the name of the Jingnan Army Cavalry Camp?"

Zhang Ain shook his head, thinking about the origin of the Jingnan Army? Jingnan Jingnan is clearly meant to suppress war, but is there war in the south? Thinking carefully about what we have seen recently, except for a flood, it seems that nothing has happened.

Seeing that he was silent, the caller thought that the other party was timid, and shouted loudly: "Killing my sergeant is tantamount to rebellion, boy..." He wanted to kill Zhang Afraid to avenge his companions, but cleverly looked at Zhang Afraid's big weapon. Heidao was frightened. He was a big guy like a door. He was joking. He must have some skills. He called the man and said in a low voice: "Let's go. If you can't do the roll call during the day, it's a death penalty."

The man saw that Zhang Weifeng still had a calm expression even though he was surrounded by more than 30 strong men, chatting and laughing, and clearly did not look at them. His expression did not change even after the murder, so he thought he was not easy to get along with, and he risked his life at the cost of one person. You have to endure this tone too.

When he pulled him, the person who just spoke was also stunned. If what they were doing now was discovered, it would be a capital crime. But when his companion was killed, it was unjustifiable to be so indifferent? Feeling fierce in his heart, he secretly pulled out two flying knives and threw them at Zhang Afraid. He picked up the sword again, jumped forward on his horse, and slashed the knife in his hand. The whole set of actions was extremely coherent, but it was useless to be more coherent. Zhang was afraid of having murderous intentions, and people were floating in the night like flying smoke. Then he heard a series of thumps, thumps, thumps, and all thirty men fell from their horses. Watching Their bodies had their throats severed and blood gurgling out.

Zhang Ain went over to hold the horses. All the horses had official seals on their hindquarters and were military horses. Zhang Awei shook his head, "How can the soldiers in Xingxiang Village have any fighting power at all?" These people will die as they die, there is no reason to kill them by mistake.

However, there were four older girls lying across the horses, their hands and feet tied, lying on the saddles. Those people had fallen off their horses just now, but Zhang Ainan used his energy to support the four of them, so they didn't fall off their horses together.

Go over and hug them, and break the rope. Although the four women were not very beautiful, they were somewhat pretty. They looked at Zhang Ai with panic, wondering how this murderous devil would treat them.

Zhang Fei didn't look at them, so he estimated the distance. If the soldiers came out to plunder, the camp should not be far away, and the place they plundered wouldn't be too far either. When he let go of his spiritual consciousness, he saw a village fifteen miles to the west, shrouded in sadness. Atmosphere, there is a military camp fifteen miles south, with more than 6,000 cavalry stationed.

With his cultivation level, the troops stationed can be detected during the day, and the looting at night can also be detected. But he has never been willing to use his spiritual consciousness to monitor the surrounding situation. Firstly, the lives of ordinary people have nothing to do with him. Secondly, he always sees and hears many unnecessary things, such as affairs, which make him upset.

In addition, my mind was entangled with children and demon cultivators, and I had no intention of scanning the distance with my spiritual consciousness, so no plundering disaster was discovered.

Now that we know where the disaster occurred, we must send them back. Looking back at the city gate, the city wall was now filled with soldiers, at least a hundred people. Seeing that Zhang was easily killing people, a bunch of people were stunned and stunned, but no one dared to open the door to arrest the thief.

Zhang was afraid and ignored them, thinking of coming back during the day, so he said: "Tell the scribe that I will come to pick up the two people who were put in the prison in the evening during the day."

What he said was unclear, and it didn't matter whether the guards could understand it, but he couldn't hide the fact that he killed more than thirty horse thieves from the officials in the city. If another soldier said such words, no one would dare to easily embarrass him. Two people.

He packed up the baggage that the thieves had snatched, and found a bunch of things from them. After packing it up, he did not speak to the four women. He picked them up one by one and put them on the horse. Then he said: "Send it to you." Go home and fix it." The four women quickly fixed the saddles, their eyes still nervous. They didn't know how this man knew where they lived, but they were too timid to ask. Zhang Ain strung the reins together, walked in line one horse after another, and then pulled out the carriage, forming a long queue of horses heading west slowly.

Fifteen miles away, a fast horse can reach it in half an hour. In order to take care of the four women, Zhang Aizhu didn't arrive until dawn. A village of more than 300 people had obviously just been plundered. The doors and windows of many houses were broken, and the inside of the house was in a mess. There was also a long line of corpses outside the house, about 20 of them. Some of the villagers were slightly injured or angry. , or sad, standing in the street.

Suddenly, he saw four women on the horse. An older woman ran over crying: "Erya, is it you? Are you okay?" Someone else called out loudly: "Three Fatties, your daughter is back."
