Chapter 754: Turtle in the Urn (10,000 words for monthly votes)
"You think... could the assassin be found by Fang Jun?"
Somehow, Wang Xue'an suddenly said such a sentence.
Everyone was stunned...
Seeing everyone's eyes turning over, Wang Yu'an swallowed subconsciously and said nervously: "Think about it, according to what Mr. Xiao said, the assassin is very skilled, and Fang Jun is not an enemy of Yihe at all, but Instead of stabbing him to death with one sword, he was stunned. Ba Suo even allowed Fang Jun to speak impassionedly, overturning the negative image brought about by the rumors in one fell swoop, and allowed his assassins to leave on their own in the street. This move was very popular and had the style of a benevolent person in ancient times, which made the people think of him. Greatly improved.”
Zhu Qu shrank his neck and reacted quickly. He followed Wang Yuan's train of thought and said, "If this assassin is really done by Fang Jun, it's not just as simple as clearing himself of suspicion..."
They are all men of great intelligence and scheming. Zhu Qu said this. Is there anything unclear to everyone?
Changsun Man had already changed his expression and said: "Doesn't this mean...if any of us are killed in the future, Fang Jun can blame it all on the assassin. It was the assassin who discovered that we were spreading rumors, so he took revenge and killed us? Not only In this way, he still has to bear the reputation of spreading rumors to slander important officials of the imperial court and a famous general in suppressing bandits..."
Everyone was not calm anymore.
The more I think about it, the more likely it is, and the more I think about it, the more frightened it becomes!
This, this... how insidious a person can be to come up with such a vicious plan of "killing someone with a borrowed knife"? Not only did he borrow the knife to kill someone, but the knife was still in his hand in the end, but no one could see it...
Xiao Ming suddenly changed his expression and said: "No!"
Several people were already frightened, and they were frightened by this. Zhu Qu hurriedly asked: "Why is it bad?"
Xiao Ming said: "If the guess is really accurate, then how could Fang Jun gather his soldiers around the navy camp to make sure everything is safe? Maybe the navy's scouts would have been sent out long ago to search for the whereabouts of the lost wood. …”
Everyone's expression changed again.
Wang Yu'an was the timidest and said in panic: "Doesn't that mean... maybe Fang Junjie knows that we have the wood here?"
Changsun Man paused and said: "More than just knowing? Maybe that little bastard is already on his way here at this moment! We have made such a big noise, as long as we investigate carefully, how can we not know? No, someone wants to Take the first step..."
Before he finished speaking, a swath of lights suddenly lit up in the distance towards the river mouth, and they seemed to have completely blocked the river mouth.
Xiao Ming's face turned pale: "It's over, Fang Jun is really here..."
He was a guilty thief. He had stolen the navy's wood and sold it again. Suddenly, the real owner came to kill him. Who could not panic?
The four of them were in chaos, like ants on a hot pot. Chang Sunman suddenly pointed his halberd at Lu Xiaoyu and Ji Shiju, and shouted: "Could it be that you two colluded with Fang Jun and informed Fang Jun about our transaction?"
Lu Xiaoyu was startled. It was not just these four people present now. There were also many slaves and servants not far away. What if he was determined to be a spy and violently harmed others?
He immediately said angrily: "Are you out of your mind and crazy? You and Fang Jun are incompatible with each other, how can you collude with him to plot against you?"
Ji Shiju quickly nodded and said: "That's right, I'm here to do business, and I don't want to have anything to do with Fang Jun! So what, everyone, if these timbers can't be shipped smoothly along the river, the deal won't be considered complete. , you have to return my money!”
Is there any reason to return the money I received?
Zhu Qu loved money the most, and retorted: "Fart! Now the money and goods are on your ship, and the money has also entered my warehouse. How can it be returned to you?"
Xiao Ming saw that the two people were still entangled and said angrily: "Go and tell Fang Jun to break up!"
After saying this, he hurriedly called his servants to escort him away along the land route.
The waterway is obviously impassable. The lights that were connected before are getting closer and closer. The huge hull of the Five-Tooth Battleship is already shadowed in the lights. It must be Fang Jun!
If we don't leave now, will we wait for Fang Jun to capture all the stolen goods?
Although given their respective identities, it is expected that Fang Jun would not dare to kill without explanation, but a humiliation is inevitable!
At that moment, the servants of their respective families were in a mess, escorting their respective masters to leave.
"Boom, boom, boom!" A deafening sound of gongs came from not far away. A group of soldiers suddenly rushed out from the darkness. Only when they got closer did they light up torches. As the firelight flashed, their armors were shining and their steps were strict and murderous!
Xiao Ming saw that it was not good and gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone holds a weapon and rush out!"
How could he not want to fall into Fang Jun's hands!
Several servants gathered together, drawing their weapons and making noise, eager to attack the formation of soldiers.
Xiao Ming's face was livid, knowing that he had entered a trap, and he just wanted to escape before Fang Jun arrived, so he strode forward and shouted sternly: "I am the magistrate of Haiyucheng County, and I am here on official business. No matter who you are under, Get out of the way quickly, otherwise I will blame you for causing chaos among the people!”
He originally thought that he could repel these soldiers with his dignity as the county magistrate, but he didn't expect that it would be better if he didn't make a sound. As soon as he made a sound, there was a sound of swords being unsheathed and bowstrings clashing in the opponent's array, and the front row uniformly displayed their sharp swords. , the back row had their arrows unstrung, and the cold arrow clusters shone coldly under the firelight, covering all of their own side.
This team was the fierce soldiers who accompanied Fang Jun in a bloody battle in Niuzhuji and crawled out from the pile of dead people. At this moment, they were ready for battle, bows were unsheathed, and a strong murderous aura suddenly filled the whole place, like all beasts. The king opened his bloody mouth and bared his sharp fangs!
At the same time, torches were raised from all directions in the entire river bend, all roads were blocked, and the large river bend turned into an earthen urn. The boatmen in the river bend and the servants on the river bank all became turtles in the urn. You can't escape even if you have wings!
Xiao Ming's men were just a group of domestic servants, who usually acted tyrannically in the streets and markets. Now facing these tough soldiers, each one was fighting with his arms and his face was as pale as earth. If the master of the house hadn't been standing in front of him, he would have screamed and fled in all directions. ……
But with everything around him blocked, where can he escape?
Xiao Ming also changed his color. Although he had never joined the army, he had some knowledge. He knew that the pair of warriors in front of him were definitely fierce warriors who would fight for the rest of their lives. Fang Jun not only knew the actions tonight, but also their positions. Everything is clear, otherwise how could such a group of elite warriors be arranged on his side?
Xiao Ming knew that it would be difficult to escape tonight, but he still refused to give up his efforts. He shouted with his halberd finger: "How brave! You actually point your weapon at the honor of a county. Do you want to rebel? Why don't you push it away quickly, otherwise With one report from this official, all nine of your clans will be wiped out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the soldiers sneered and said in a strange manner: "The honor of a county? What a big official, oh, you scared me to death..."
Another person said: "Yes, yes, sir, please spare me. For such a big official, why do you need to be so familiar with us?"
All the soldiers tried their best to ridicule, Xiao Ming's face turned green with anger!
Sure enough, everyone leads different soldiers. Are these soldiers just like Fang Jun, who don't take the court officials seriously?
At this time, a person on the opposite side shouted: "Shut up, Dute!"
Then a tall military general stood out from the crowd and walked straight to Xiao Ming. He waited for Xiao Ming with a pair of tiger eyes for a long time before spitting thick phlegm at Xiao Ming's feet with a "poof" sound.
Xiao Ming was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at the general with trembling fingers and was speechless.
He was born in the Xiao family, had great literary talent, and was a respected figure in the county. How had Xiao Ming ever been insulted like this?
Zhu Qu beside him said angrily: "How dare you be rude to the county magistrate? Don't you want to live anymore?"
The military general sneered: "Who are you trying to scare? When we brothers were in Chang'an, we spent all day either dealing with the marquis or asking for greetings from the Duke of the country. The six ministers and the governors of the three provinces could also see each other from time to time. County Lord? The county magistrate is a fool!”
When Xiao Ming heard this, his face turned red and he was also secretly frightened.
Suwen Fangjun's subordinates all come from major families in Chang'an. Now it seems that they are all unruly slaves...
The general no longer looked at Xiao Ming, but glanced at the group of servants, raising his right hand high: "The general manager has given the order, everyone immediately puts down their weapons and surrenders, and anyone who dares to resist... shoot without mercy!"
Xiao Ming only felt that his eyes were dark...
That guy Fang Jun really dares to kill someone!
I can’t sleep yet, I have to revise the previous chapters...
