1. Shen Qiu's new errand(1/2)
"Bang"
There was a muffled sound in the anxious night, and the burning house collapsed.
The heavy beams were also ignited, smashing into the sea of fire, splashing sparks all over the sky.
Against the backdrop of the fire, several awakened guys shouted, some tried to put out the fire, and some knew that the disaster would be in the future, so they ran out desperately, trying to run out of this place of death.
But just as they ran to the outside of this small village, they saw a strange guy leaning on the wooden railing in front of them.
He sat on the railing, his legs hanging in the air, and he was tugging back and forth, like a child's game.
Late at night, with the light of rising fire behind him, these people could see the man in front of him wearing a black gown, gloves, and holding a goose feather knife in his hand.
He was thinner, but he was quite strong, and he still had a smile on his face, but his smile was quite interesting. On this murderous night, there was a bit of a cold cat-showing rat.
"Oh, little brothers, here you come."
He raised his hand and greeted several panic bandits like this.
No one answered for a moment.
"I killed your boss, burned your broken village, and killed your two evil dogs. Don't doubt that I did everything tonight."
Chen Qiu jumped off the railing, held a blood-stained knife and said to the few bandits in front of him with bare hands:
"A few days ago, a dozen foreigners who do not know martial arts dare to occupy the mountains and become kings outside the suburbs of Nantong City, rape and loot. A few days ago, they also robbed the Nantong warehouse of Luoyue Shangfang...
If you rob something, you will rob it. Everyone needs to live, I can understand. But why do you want to kill someone? Who is not raised by your parents? If you cut it off with a knife, everything will be gone, and there will be a few more families wearing mourning clothes.
Do you really have no sympathy when you wait for these bandits?"
"On side by side!"
Seeing that something was wrong, a man screamed, pulled out his fork from his waist, and howled and rushed towards Chen Qiu.
He was just a little brave and was aroused by the fire at night, and his feet were staggered a little.
Before the others could move, they saw a splash of swords light up.
The leader was beheaded by the evil star, and the big head flew out. On the ground, the headless corpse spewed out blood, shook it twice, and fell to the ground.
The heavy object landed, alarming a few crows in the forest, and the grim sound of screaming and the fire burning and peeling behind him added a bit of depression to the night.
The remaining two retreated immediately.
Chen Qiu lifted his knife forward, his tone became colder, he said:
"Five people died in Nantong. I killed 14 of you, and one is still missing. One is compensated three times, and your retribution is here."
Hearing Chen Qiu's cold words, the clever one among the two people in front of him suddenly pushed his companion, then turned around and ran away.
The companion who was pushed by him was caught off guard, fell forward, danced with his arms and feet, but in the end he was a sharp knife, illuminating those terrified eyes.
"puff"
The blade pierced from the front chest and from the back. Blood slid down the blade on the guy's upper body. He seemed to have all his strength removed and fell into Shen Qiu's arms.
Chen Qiu didn't even look at him. He reached out and grabbed his hair, pulled out the knife, and threw the body on the ground with a casual move.
His eyes were always on the guy who was running away.
Chen Qiu sneaked into the village without carrying a bulky axe. He pulled out a dagger from his waist, just like playing a dart game in a tavern, using the technique of a life-seeking axe to throw the dagger forward.
"Swoosh"
The dagger pierced the escaped guy's waist, causing him to fall to the ground.
"15! You have killed 15, enough! enough!"
He lay on the ground, his legs constantly pushing his body backwards. When he felt death coming, he screamed with trembling all over:
"I just joined the gang the day before yesterday and have never participated in robbery and murder! Let me go, let me go, please!"
"whispering sound."
Chen Qiu squatted down and strangled his neck. As the flames burned behind him, Chen Qiu's tone was cold.
He said:
"It's really rare. In this dirty and dirty parody, there are innocent bandits like you... you are so cute. Could it be that what I say, you believe what you believe?"
The man struggled to speak, but his throat was strangled and he could not make any sound.
Chen Qiu slowly dropped the knife, took out a piece of paper from his waist bag, and with the flames behind him, he whispered:
"On the day when Nantong was robbed, there were 16 thieves. There were only 16 people in your village. Do you think you just joined the gang and have never killed anyone?
Then let you understand!"
"Digit"
The force of wind and thunder surging, and the throat bones shattered.
Before the man died immediately, Chen Qiu dragged his arm, walked towards the burning village like a struggling dead dog, and waved it and threw the thief into the fire.
He turned around, took out the carbon wood strips and crossed out the lines of words on the paper in the light of the fire.
On this piece of paper, there are 6 words that have also been crossed out, and now only the last one left is to be cooked.
Chen Qiu collected the paper and looked back at the burning copycat.
He shook his head, picked up the knife, wiped the thief's clothes, put the knife into the sheath, and strode into the illuminated dark night.
At this time, spring has gone and autumn has come. It is April of the 24th year of Zhengding. Half a year has passed since Chen Qiu returned to Suzhou.
After saving Old Man Liu's friend that day, Chen Qiu became famous in Luoyue neighborhood, and business continued to continue.
But most of them are looking for him to take wards, and there is not much to save people and seek revenge.
Think about it, too.
In ordinary families, An Ji abides by the law, there are not so many deep hatreds that he wants to treat.
Although there are many bad people in this world, the majority of good people are always.
No matter how bad the discipline and laws are, there is still a basic social order. Even if there is something hatred, the first reaction of ordinary people is to find the government.
Chen Qiu was unwilling to give up his heart and became a killer who didn’t ask the truth or talk about the bottom line.
After a while, the Lu Family Escort Agency that has been reopened does not have many jobs to take on.
As a result, before the New Year, Miss Yaoqin heard about Chen Qiu's troubles from Qingqing, so she looked for him.
Yaoqin hired the Lu family escort agency in the name of Luoyue Shangfang. To be precise, Chen Qiu specially searched for the merchant shop near Suzhou to deal with the troubles they encountered.
This is the job ordered by the boss, so workers should naturally take it seriously.
Chen Qiu rode a fast horse and ran around the big and small semicolons in Suzhou. He found that Luoyue Shangfang had a big family, a lot of semicolons, and many troubles.
In the past six months, Chen Qiu chased thieves, killed water bandits, and helped the merchant drive away wild beasts in the mountains. Now, I have done this twice tonight to avenge the dead and injured.
In recent years, the Southern Dynasties' governments have been extremely oppressed. After the former king Zhao Hu died of illness, the new king was completely a puppet. The court's harsh government ruled, leaving many remote good people nowhere to survive.
There are more and more bandits in the mountains and rivers.
Most of them were gangs of more than a dozen people, and they were not large in numbers. They were in chaos everywhere. When they encountered an attack, they hid in the mountains. After two or three times, the government was too lazy to care about it.
Villagers from all over the country can only build villages to protect themselves, and some rich villages even formed group training.
For example, this time, Luoyue Shangfang Nantong Branch was robbed and killed, and Chen Qiu came to take charge of the innocent people, but those civilians who were powerless and powerless could only swallow their anger.
"The world is getting more and more chaotic."
Chen Qiu rode on the horse, and sighed like people of this era.
He headed towards the warehouse at the foot of the mountain. The Nantong semicolon was the penultimate stop for his inspection. He went to Changshu semicolon tomorrow. If nothing happened, he could return to Suzhou.
I've been out for almost 2 months, but I don't know Qingqing is in Suzhou, is it okay?
Half an hour later, Chen Qiu returned to the cargo warehouse at the foot of the mountain. The cargo warehouse is still a distance from Nantong City. It was set off a fire when it was robbed that day and is now being rebuilt.
"I burned the village, and the sixteen bandits have been removed. You can rest assured that you have avenged the dead."
Chen Qiu jumped off his horse and said something to the manager who was waiting for him.
The manager wiped his tears and immediately bowed to Chen Qiu, who accepted it calmly.
He said to the manager:
"You don't have to worry about this. Miss Yaoqin is not a person who is unreasonable. This matter cannot be blamed on you. You will do things well in the future.
Also, it’s not me who said you guys.”
Chen Qiu didn't intend to say much, but in the end he couldn't help it. He frowned and said to the timid manager:
"In this warehouse, there are more than twenty people including purchasing. There are only sixteen bandits and no bows and arrows. Even if you hold sticks and use the warehouse to defend, you can drive them out.
The worst thing is that the soldiers who were dragged to the city to help, and the Nantong Prefecture Order would not be reluctant to save him. Doing business is an important task, I can understand, but you should also think about your life in the future.
If it really doesn't work, can you hire a few martial artists in the hospital? Those five guys died injustice."
The manager knew that Chen Qiu was the person Miss Yaoqin trusted, so he did not dare to argue with Shen Qiu. After he finished speaking, the manager whispered:
"I have hired a guard, and the young hero taught me a lesson."
