Chapter 31 A Nest of Snakes and Rats(1/2)

After General Xia Duo took his men out of the inn, the store was in a mess!

The ground was covered with residue from dishes and liquid from wine, emitting an unpleasant odor.

Unfinished dishes on the table were scattered all over the ground, emitting a rotten smell.

Almost all the tabletops have stains of dishes and wine, which doesn't even look like an inn.

Some parts of the wall were covered with wine, some cracks were knocked out, and some carvings in the corners fell to the ground.

Some of the railings upstairs have been broken and are dangerously tilted to one side.

The dilapidated scenes in the inn make people feel like they have just encountered disaster here.

The messy environment and the strong smell are like a catastrophe just happened.

Outside the gate, the passers-by didn't know what was happening inside, but the inn owner and the waiter were already standing at the door of the store, looking at each other in disgrace.

They thought to themselves that they would have to recover from the beginning. This psychological heaviness is far greater than the losses caused by the mess in front of them.

Li Xuanren was also injured on his forehead, and the wound was cracked deeply, and a bloodstain slid across the corner of his eyes, blurring his vision.

His nose was also skewed, but he was not fractured.

There are a few purple spots on the back of my hand, which are already swollen.

There are also scratches on the legs, but these are not important.

At this time, Li Xuanren didn't care that he was injured all over, and endured the pain and helped Jiang Mingyu check his injuries first.

Compared to Li Xuanren, Jiang Mingyu was injured more severely. His face was swollen like a pig's head, his face was bruised, and his nose bleeding kept flowing, dripping to the ground!

His eyes were slightly swollen, but he could barely open. The wound at the corner of his mouth was still bleeding, and his lips were slightly swollen.

Jiang Mingyu had never suffered such pain, and he let out a cry and moan.

But fortunately, these are all skin and flesh injuries, and they do not hurt bones, muscles, bones and internal organs.

After careful examination, Li Xuanren felt a little relieved.

Although the injuries are tragic, they are not fatal once they are conditioned.

The two of them were in a very miserable state at this moment, especially the injuries on Jiang Mingyu's face made people unable to bear to look at them.

The group of soldiers and soldiers did not take any more light or serious action, as if they were going to get seriously injured before they could stop.

In addition to physical pain, Jiang Mingyu and Li Xuanren were more psychologically humiliated and resentful at this time.

Tuxlow, who was beating aside, was not sure where he was injured.

He clasped his fists with his hands, knelt on one knee, apologized to Jiang Mingyu, "The official dereliction of duty has caused Lord Jiang to be injured. Please punish him!"

Jiang Mingyu waved his hand and said weakly: "It's not your fault. It's because I am not good at martial arts, so I fell into this place!"

Tuxluo looked up excitedly when he heard this: "How can Lord Jiang say that! The destiny that Tuxluo accepted is to protect Lord Jiang Zhouquan. Why did he do this..."

Speaking of this, Tuxlow could no longer help but said hoarsely: "Master Jiang, Tuxlow has let you down and Tianwei down. Tuxlow deserves to die!"

Jiang Mingyu looked at the big inner guard who was so excited that he almost collapsed, and felt relieved and unbearable: "Master Tu, it's not your fault. You have been loyal and responsible, but those thieves... are too fierce! This is not your fault."

Li Xuanren brought a chair, first helped Jiang Mingyu to the chair and sat down, then went back to the room to get the medicine box.

Tuxlow looked at the store and then outside the window. It was already night.

"It is not suitable to stay here for a long time!" Tuxlow said with a little anxiety: "Just just now, the thief threatened that there will be a date later, and the officials thought that they would come again!"

Jiang Mingyu nodded and agreed.

Then he said, "Or... let's go to the county government to report to the officials. I am the imperial envoy, and the county magistrate will have to kneel down when he sees me. At that time, I will order the county magistrate to punish these thieves!"

Li Xuanren carefully applied ointment to Jiang Mingyu, and then wrapped the wound with clean bandages layer by layer.

Although Jiang Mingyu's facial injuries were shocking, luckily it was not fatal. As long as you replace the medicine and bandages every day, the wound can slowly heal.

Tuxlow assisted on the side, his eyes full of distress and self-blame.

After bandaging Jiang Mingyu, the three of them returned to the guest room to pack their luggage. They wanted to get rid of these soldiers at night and report to the officials when it was safe.

But they just walked out of the inn and were surrounded by layers of group trainers wearing armor!

They held nearly a hundred torches and illuminated the street in front of the inn!

The light illuminated their malicious expressions, as if they were going to capture the three of them alive.

General Xia Duo rushed back to the regiment camp earlier, immediately gathered troops, put on armor, prepared bows, crossbows, guns and shields, and returned to Rumeng Xiaoye. Then, three floors inside and three floors outside surrounded the blocks in this area!

General Xia Duo was wearing a red robe and cloth armor, holding a five-foot slashing sabre, standing not far away in front of the store, shouting: "Jinggouer, what ability do you have? Just use it, and this military gate will accompany you to the end!"

After seeing the thief in front of him, Tuxlow looked back at Jiang Mingyu and Li Xuanren who were injured, and knew that they were doomed tonight!

"We are outnumbered... If a hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, he should temporarily aggrieved Lord Jiang and surrender first!" Tuxlow suggested in a low voice.

"How can that be done!" Jiang Mingyu said indignantly: "According to your ability, these miscellaneous people are not your opponent at all!"

Tuxlow nodded and said, "If you fight them with bare hands, you won't take a hundred officials seriously! But..."

Jiang Mingyu: "But what?"

Tuxlow pointed to the row of bowmen behind General Xia Duo and said discouragedly: "Only their arrows, they don't wear armor and don't hurt the vitals. They can barely withstand two arrows, but if they hit the third arrow... I will die!"

In desperation, Jiang Mingyu and others had to walk out of the inn.

General Xia Duo laughed at this: "Aren't these three Jinggou who deserved to be beaten just now? Why? Aren't you very happy when you beat me just now? You lost your tail and hid in the house?"

Jiang Mingyu said in a deep voice: "General, let's wait, we are not here to get along with you. Today we are just passing by here, but we didn't expect you to be beaten like this. We are just defending ourselves, but you are so aggressive, you are inevitably a little unkind!"

General Xia Duo changed his color when he heard this: "Jinggouer dares to say unkindness to me? I want you to die without a place to bury!" After that, he raised his sword and chopped Jiang Mingyu and others.

Tuxlow blocked Jiang Mingyu and held the knife that was slashed. General Xia Duo looked even more ugly when he saw this: "How dare the mobs from the capital be arrogant in front of me? Look at me, I will not intercept your arms and teach you ignorant people a lesson!"

Seeing this, Jiang Mingyu calmly said, "General, don't be so angry. We are not here to fight you. If you want to take action, we can only beg for mercy."

After saying that, the three of them knelt on the ground and hugged their heads and surrendered.

Originally, Xia Duo thought that he could fight Tuxlow one more time, and beat him to the ground with a few moves, so that he could regain some face in front of his brothers!

But unexpectedly, Jiang Mingyu and the other three knelt down and surrendered directly!

Their kneeling made General Xia Duo stunned!

General Xia Duo's confusion and at a loss were all displayed between his slightly pouted lips and his increasingly fierce eyebrows and eyes.

According to the temper of a person outside the gate, it shouldn't be like this; he was surprised and stood in front of the formation for a long time, not knowing what to do.

He wanted to teach Jiang Mingyu and others a lesson, but the other party suddenly knelt down, which made him a little confused for a while. I don’t know if it was the other party’s trick or if it was really surrendering.

Although General Xia Duo was arrogant and domineering, he knew that he was in the wrong. If the other party really surrendered, he would not be able to harm him for no reason.

But if this is the other party's plan, I will lose all my face.

His sharp knife had not been put away yet, and he seemed ready to deal with the opponent's counterattack at any time.

At this moment, a little brother came over and suggested that they be tied up and sent to the county government for guilt.

Xia Duo didn't expect that the problem that originally thought that he would scratch his head could have such a good solution.

You can kill people by borrowing a knife, and you don’t have to get blood.

What's more, the people in the county government are all their own people. Jiang Mingyu and others were taken away, and he could still interfere with it, killing multiple goals at one fell swoop.

So I ordered my brothers to tie Jiang Mingyu and his group of three and escort them directly to the county government.

Jiang Mingyu was taken to the yamen. When he saw the drum of injustice, he almost laughed!

He thought to himself: I was just about to come to the Yamen to find the county magistrate to punish you. Now I'm here to send me directly, so I don't have to ask someone for directions!

This sudden change made Jiang Mingyu feel like he didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

General Xia Duo grabbed the drum stick and beat the drum a few times. Not long after, the gate of the yamen opened.

A yamen runner walked out and saw General Xia Duo and the hundreds of people behind him, he was stunned!

He asked directly: "General, where did you sing this time?"

When the yamen runner saw Xia Duo bringing a hundred people to the scene, he looked confused and had no idea what kind of play he was going to play today.

The yamen runner looked confused and funny. Jiang Mingyu wanted to laugh, but he thought this absurd situation was so ridiculous.

"No matter how many..." Xia Duo stepped across the threshold and shouted loudly: "Come to the second uncle quickly!"

When Jiang Mingyu heard the thief's leader shouting "Second Uncle", he was secretly happy and immediately panicked!

I thought to myself: It’s over, this Shangmu County is actually a family of officials and bandits!

I was thinking about finding the county magistrate to control the thief, but now I found that the thief wolf is at the top of the government. This dramatic reversal made Jiang Mingyu a little confused for a moment.

When Jiang Mingyu thought of this, he felt speechless and fell into the thief's nest again. This absurd scene made him angry and laugh, and he didn't know what to do.

This man, who was called "Second Uncle" by General Xia Duo, was named "Liu Ershu". He was a sworn brother of Xia Duo's father. When he was young, he participated in the troupe training and served under Xia Duo's father.

Not long after Xia Duo's father died, Liu Ershu also left the group training. Then, under the protection of the group training connections, he worked for several years to actually help smuggle people in the name of escorts.

When Liu Ershu was engaged in the escort smuggling business, he often asked his subordinates to transport goods when the night was dark and windy. When he arrived at the mountain road, Liu Ershu sent people to make noise in advance, which attracted the government to investigate.

After the government seized the carriage and escorted the prisoners, Liu Ershu had already sent troops to ambush them and acted with the government inside and outside, and took the goods on the carriage for himself, so he made a lot of money.
