Astral Apostle Chapter 165: Jump down
Facing Zhou Jing's pair of suffocating tricks, Coach Hu was frightened and asked anything, for fear of being slow to answer, so he took his life.
Zhou Jing asked a few questions, and then basically figured out the identities of the five commanders of Deng and the current situation.
'No wonder this group of officers and soldiers are strange, and the timing of their arrival is not right. It turned out that they were temporarily ordered to let a group of non-straight-line officers with different positions lead the officers and soldiers of the government to arrest me... And I didn't expect that the Huang family, He The old lady went to entertain the prefect today, so she's not at home..."
Zhou Jing frowned slightly.
He thought about it, and suddenly said:
"Two brothers, take off the three sets of officers and soldiers' clothes, and let's put them on."
Gao Yun was taken aback: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Zhou Jing pulled Coach Hu from the ground, patted the other side's intact shoulder, and said solemnly:
"The plan has changed. Let's take a detour to the Chunyu Building. If you want to come to Teacher Hu, you will definitely be willing to lead the way."
Teacher Hu's heart trembled and hurriedly said: "Hero, what are you doing?!"
Gao Yun and Fang Zhen were also shocked.
Zhou Jing didn't change his face, and replied: "Naturally, the head of the Huang family and the He family will be removed. If they are alive, with their connections and means, even if the vitality of the family is severely damaged, they can barely stand still. To recover the losses from the common people, the exploitation will intensify in the future. If we do not remove the leaders, we will greatly reduce the role of these two families.”
"So that's what it is, I was shocked. I thought my brother was going to kill the prefect."
Gao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
But just after that, Gao Yun saw Zhou Jing staring at him silently, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, then his face changed slightly, and said anxiously:
"Brother, killing a bully and a tyrannical gentry who is rich and ruthless is a completely different crime from killing a high-ranking official in the imperial court. This... this is a treasonous crime!"
Zhou Jing waved his hand and frowned, "I didn't say killing the magistrate. I'm going to kill the two heads of the family, but is it possible that the magistrate is there, so I'm going to retreat? The rest will be seen later."
"Then the remaining two lords, can we come to the door in time?" Fang Zhen couldn't help asking.
"No, do your best."
Zhou Jing shook his head.
It is difficult to make plans to control unexpected factors. Before, it was impossible to predict the itinerary of the old ladies of He Huang and his wife, and this is the current situation.
If the situation changes, he will act according to opportunity. Under his assessment, he feels that eliminating the evils of the He family and the Huang family will take priority over the troubles of the remaining two families.
In addition, in the plan, eradicating all the four great clans is only the most ideal situation.
At this time, Teacher Hu endured the pain and quickly persuaded:
"Three heroes, this plan will definitely not work! Even if you disguise as officers and soldiers, the soldiers who were scattered by you before will recognize your appearance, and the three cannot be mixed into the officers and soldiers. Besides, I am not the commander of this trip, just now The one who jumped over the wall and ran away is the one who gave the order, even if I took the three out, I couldn't order the officers and soldiers outside to go to other places..."
"Brother, this birdman is justified. When I reveal Xingzang, the officers and soldiers outside will not admit that I am wrong." Fang Zhen thought about it and nodded.
Zhou Jing shook his head and said solemnly:
"Who, I'm going to mix in with the officers and soldiers, I don't need to be so troublesome. We'll avoid the group of officers and soldiers outside, find a space to slip away, and won't let the officers and soldiers see them, and then the three of us will go straight with Coach Hu. Chunyulou, act separately from this group of officers and soldiers. Putting on officers and soldiers' costumes is just to cover up a little and deceive passers-by. Even if people see it, they will not doubt it. Bringing instructor Hu is just in case."
"So it is."
Gao Yun and Fang Zhen were stunned.
They just thought that Zhou Jing wanted to disguise and infiltrate the officers and soldiers to do stealth things.
It's not that difficult to avoid the officers and soldiers outside - this Huang's mansion is rich in property, and once forcibly swallowed the surrounding land at a low price, so the mansion occupies a large area, and the number of officers and soldiers outside is not enough to surround the entire Huangfu. Government, there are many omissions.
Besides, the map radar of Apostle No. 4 can show where there are people and where there are no people, and it is quite easy to avoid eyes and ears.
The officers and soldiers who entered the mansion were chased away, and the servants of the nursing home also fled. There was no one around at this time.
Teacher Hu was naturally reluctant to help. If he did this, he wouldn't be able to beg for it even if he survived, but now that his life is in the hands of others, he didn't want to die like this.
He could only pray secretly, hoping that when he arrived at the Spring Rain Tower, the building was already empty.
Not long after, the three of them changed their clothes, dressed as officers and soldiers, and threw dust on their faces, so they wouldn't be seen through at first glance.
Zhou Jing followed the map radar and found an unguarded backyard wall outside. He led a few people out and landed in an unmanned alley. Then he dragged Teacher Hu and went straight to the Chunyu Building. .
……
The other side.
Director Deng slammed out of the yard as if his buttocks had been scorched by fire, and then jumped over several walls with his hands and feet, and then escaped from the Huangfu and returned to the street.
He hurriedly reunited with the officers and soldiers on standby at Waitouweifu, and was surrounded by officers and soldiers to guard him.
In the view of Commander Deng, the officers and soldiers who entered the mansion were basically wiped out, and the instructor Hu was absolutely unreasonable.
Of the five military masters who accompanied him, only he came back alive. If he reacted a step slowly and was entangled again by the thief with excellent marksmanship, he had to confront the urging Yama, and he would have to explain himself in it.
At this moment, in his eyes, the gate of the Yellow Mansion seems to be a huge mouth that one wants to devour, and inside is the Longtan Tiger Cave.
—so **** scary!
"Lord Deng, what should I do now?" the officers and soldiers next to him couldn't help but ask.
"...withdraw first and wait for reinforcements."
The commander Deng was really frightened by Zhou Jing's skills. With this number of people in his hands, he made up his mind that he would not dare to deal with Zhou Jing any more, and he didn't even want to pursue him.
——If you provoke the opponent, turn around and kill him and these officers and soldiers before leaving, then it will be over.
However, it's really outrageous to just sit back and let the murderer go away.
In addition, these officers and soldiers and the masters in the army were destroyed. If they didn't explain it, they would definitely give the prefect an impression of being unfavorable...
Commander Deng reluctantly calmed down his emotions. With a move in his heart, he called an officer next to him and said solemnly:
"The thief's martial arts are inhumane. I will go back and report to the prefect, requesting that a battalion of troops be dispatched into the city to catch the thief. You can temporarily issue orders on my behalf here, and don't lose the whereabouts of the thief."
The officer's eyes widened when he heard the words, and he almost felt that Commander Deng was talking nonsense.
Just to deal with one person, you have to send a battalion into the city? You **** crazy!
But Commander Deng didn't give him a chance to object, he threw away the command, and then he couldn't wait to turn his head and left, heading straight for Chunyu Tower.
The officer had no choice but to take orders.
……
Spring Rain Tower.
Another official who was inquiring about the news rushed back. This is the third time to report the progress of the matter to the prefect.
"Lord Prefect, it's not good. The Huang residence was also destroyed by the evil thief Chen Feng, and all the guards fled. The Huang family suffered heavy casualties. Although Commander Deng arrived with his troops, he was defeated by the thieves. Many officers and soldiers were smashed to let the evil thief escape from the Yellow House, and now the thief has disappeared again..."
Lin Zhifu almost exploded his lungs with anger, his face was ashen, and he said angrily:
"What is Deng Zhi doing? It's useless to be the commander of the Ma army. He can't even catch a strong man. What's the use of him!"
He was angry on this side, while Mr. Huang on the other side was also slumped on the seat, his face was ashes as he was lost, and he had the same expression as Mr. He.
"Why did my Huang family suffer this disaster..."
Master Huang groaned in pain.
They have run the family business in the state capital for several generations, scavenging a lot of wealth for expansion and monopoly, and then they gradually became the local rich family, spreading branches and leaves... But now they are all gone, and his heart is bleeding. , furious.
Hearing that the Huang family had the same experience, although Mr. He knew it was inappropriate, he still felt a lot better... At least he wasn't the only one who got **** mildew.
Of course, Master He's anger will not be diminished because of this. He gritted his teeth and said hoarsely:
"This Chen Feng must be executed as soon as possible so that the hatred in my heart can be dispelled. Lord prefect, you must be the master for me and other grass people..."
Lin Zhifu frowned, pretending to be righteous and stern:
"Don't worry, the two of you, how could the prefect allow such villains to go unpunished? Even if the city is locked down to search for him today, he will be arrested and brought to justice!"
He usually didn't take the benefits of the four great families, and now it's not easy to leave at will, so he stayed here and used it as a temporary command post to show his importance to this matter in front of the two masters.
The prefect Lin comforted the two of them for a few words, and then he looked back at the official who reported the news and shouted:
"Go back and tell Deng Zhi that if he can't catch Chen Feng, this official will punish him for a crime of dereliction of duty and strip him of his position as the commander of the Majun!"
"The lowly office is gone."
The officer who sent the order hurriedly responded and was about to turn his head and set off.
But at this time, another official went upstairs, came to the door of the room, bowed and said:
"Lord Prefect, Coach Hu, who followed Deng's envoy to seek thieves, came back. He was injured and brought two defeated soldiers. They have an urgent report."
Hearing this, the prefect of Lin was a little surprised, but he did not suspect him, and waved:
"Let him come up and talk."
The official was ordered to go downstairs immediately.
After a while, he brought Coach Hu and two embarrassed officers and soldiers to the room.
Lin Zhifu looked at Coach Hu and saw that his arm was limply drooping.
"You came back to me instead of asking for the thief. What's the urgency to report? But the news about the thief Chen Feng?"
Teacher Hu's lips were white, and he murmured and did not dare to speak.
Seeing this, the prefect Lin was both puzzled and impatient, and was about to order this person not to delay his efforts.
However, the next moment, the two officers and soldiers beside Coach Hu took off the leather hats on their heads, revealing their respective faces.
It was Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen.
"You are the bird prefect who colluded with the local nobles to harm others?"
Zhou Jing took a step forward, looked at Lin Zhifu, and clicked his tongue.
Prefect Lin was stunned for a moment. He carefully looked at this burly and fierce man, and his heart skipped a beat.
"You're not a government officer, who are you?!"
"Ha! Aren't you trying to catch me? Grandpa is in front of you, but you don't recognize me?"
Zhou Jing grinned.
Lin Zhifu was shocked and lost his voice: "You are Chen Feng?!"
When the voice fell, the expressions of the officials and guards on the side changed greatly, and they hurriedly drew their swords.
However, Fang Zhen was already prepared, and the iron-headed sticks fell in a series, killing all the guards next to him with a few snaps.
But the sound of the fight also alerted the downstairs.
Tap Tap...
The love overflows like rain all night in the rain
A chaotic footstep sounded, and more officers and soldiers rushed upstairs in a hurry. They were all guards who accompanied the prefect to the banquet. They were distributed around the Chunyu Building, and there were not many people.
Because Teacher Hu led the way, Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen did not conflict with them.
"I'll stop them."
Fang Zhen said nothing, ran to guard the stairs, the iron-headed club danced, and beat down the officers and soldiers one by one.
At the same time, there was a sudden scream from downstairs.
Gao Yun, who was in ambush outside the building, rushed through the door with a gun, looking for the relatives of the He and Huang families who were attending the banquet together.
The attack from inside and outside immediately caught the officers and soldiers in the building by surprise.
This is a special arrangement by Zhou Jing to take care of Gao Yun's intentions. He does not need to come up to see the court officials, but let Gao Yun lie in ambush outside the building, waiting for an opportunity - when there is chaos here, he will block the door and kill , to prevent the He Huang family in the building from escaping.
"It's over..." Seeing this, Teacher Hu was full of bitterness, knowing that he couldn't survive in the imperial court.
Even without him, this group of highly skilled thieves could still enter the Spring Rain Tower, and that's why he had to cooperate all the time in order to survive.
Gu Tao
I brought thieves privately to the prefect, and in the future, if I can get an immortal exile, I will burn a high incense.
If he didn't want to be punished, Coach Hu knew that he had almost no other choice but to go to the dark side, so he shrank to the side at this time, and had no intention of intervening to stop him. People pay attention to him.
"Murder! Kill!"
At this time, there was a scream of panic on the street outside the Chunyu Building, and the people nearby noticed the change here and ran in a panic.
Listening to the slaughter downstairs, Lin Zhifu's expression changed.
But he still held his breath and didn't believe in his heart, what would these thieves dare to do to him as an official of the imperial court.
"Chen Feng, you made a special trip to see this official, but do you want to plead guilty for yourself?"
Prefect Lin spoke in a deep voice, thinking he had guessed what the other party was thinking.
Zhou Jing snorted: "Don't be too affectionate. Grandpa didn't come to look for you as a dog official."
After finishing, he ignored Lin Zhifu, whose face was suddenly ugly, but turned to look at the horrified Master He and Master Huang next to him, and said slowly:
"You two, let's go?"
Hearing this, Mr. He's face suddenly turned red, he stood up suddenly, pointed at Zhou Jing and roared angrily:
"You evil thief, did my family ever offend you? Why did you harm my family!"
Zhou Jing looked at him without answering.
He just took the spear and stepped closer.
Seeing this, Mr. He's anger dissipated in an instant, leaving only a full of panic and fear. He wanted to run away, but the two-strand war didn't follow his orders.
He was in a cold sweat and screamed in a panic:
"Don't, don't do it! I have money, whatever you want, come out and I will do it! You! You must want something, don't keep your mouth shut, you! I can give you anything !”
His face was contorted and ferocious, like a madman, completely lost.
Zhou Jing was indifferent, raised his hand to grab Master He's neck, and exerted a little force.
Click!
A crisp sound.
Master He tilted his head and stopped moving.
Zhou Jing let go and let him fall to the ground with no expression on his face:
"Go down and think about it."
At this moment, Mr. Huang shouted, suddenly burst into strength, and ran towards the window, trying to escape by jumping out of the window.
However, just as he ran to the window, he suddenly froze with a pain in his back.
Master Huang froze and lowered his head, and at a glance, he saw a blood-stained spear tip protruding from his chest.
Pfft!
The next moment, the tip of the gun was drawn back.
Master Huang swayed, leaned forward subconsciously, and immediately fell from the window, slamming into the street, and was dead.
Only then did Zhou Jing turn to look at the prefect of Lin.
Lin Zhifu watched him kill two people in a row, and his heart skipped a beat, but he still tried his best to maintain a calm expression on his face.
He still doesn't believe what Zhou Jing dares to do to him.
Although my heart is a little flustered, how noble is my status as a court official? How can you lose your temper in front of such a rush.
"Dare to kill someone in front of this official, you are very brave."
Prefect Lin snorted angrily.
Zhou Jing heard the words, but didn't answer. He just stared straight at him without moving or speaking.
Lin Zhifu was terrified by his strange gaze, and quickly patted the table to cover up his inner panic, and he shouted:
"You lunatic! Don't hurry to confess your guilt. For the sake of your willingness to surrender, I can give you a lenient sentence."
Zhou Jing turned a deaf ear.
He just touched his chin, thinking about what to do with the prefect.
This prefect colluded with the big businessmen, accepted bribes, provided official protection, covered up the crimes of the wealthy, cooperated with the common people and businessmen, and levied tyranny. Naturally, it was not a good thing.
However, in the previous plan, there was really no goal of killing the prefect today.
Zhou Jing frowned slightly. Killing a high-ranking court official of this rank would be of a different nature. Although this dog official was considered dead, he would get into even more trouble if he killed himself. Pay attention to the government.
Although with the violent temperament of the fourth apostle, most of them want to do it, but in addition to acting, I also need to think about the situation when the apostle is placed. I have not many days left to travel by myself this time... …
Seeing that Zhou Jing was silent, the prefect Lin thought he was hesitating, so he slowed down his tone, used a strategy of delaying the army, and pretended to be tolerant and persuaded:
"Chen Feng, this officer doesn't think you are an unreasonable person. You do this kind of thing, mostly for a reason. If you confess your guilt, this officer can consider your hardships and grievances as appropriate, and even decide for you."
Hearing this, Zhou Jing regained his senses and finally made up his mind.
Holding a spear, he pointed to the prefect of Lin and then to the window, expressionless:
"You, jump down."
Lin Zhifu was stunned for a moment, then pointed to himself in disbelief: "You... let me jump out of the window?"
Zhou Jing nodded:
"I didn't intend to kill you today, but you fell into my hands and let you go with all your tails, which is not my style, so I will give you a way to survive. Jump from the stairs and you won't die. You, I'll let you go."
When the voice fell, the prefect of Lin was furious and suddenly slapped the table and stood up:
"Bold! Presumptuous! Absurd! I am the prefect of Anlin's prefecture, an official of the fifth-rank imperial court, and even a disciple of the prime minister of Qin, how noble! You are a grass-roots citizen, do you know who you are talking to? How dare you be so arrogant to me Disrespectful?!"
Zhou Jing took out his ears and said slowly:
"If you don't jump, I'll send you on the road with the two masters on the ground. Anyway, you're also a raccoon dog, and you're in a bad situation, so what are you pretending to be? Why don't you officials exploit the common people without paying the price? , scourge the land, can you pat your **** and go to take office elsewhere?"
Hearing this, the prefect of Lin was trembling with anger, raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Jing angrily, and shouted:
"You disrespectful traitor! I..."
Brush!
The gun flashed.
Lin Zhifu suddenly stopped, staring blankly at his arm that fell to the ground.
Zhou Jing picked up the spear and squinted: "You still have one hand, you can point at me again."
"Ahhh-"
Lin Zhifu's face suddenly became extremely frightened, screaming shrill and screaming, covering the bleeding broken arm, rolling on the ground in pain.
The official hat was also thrown to the ground and rolled away.
Teacher Hu sucked in a breath of cold air and couldn't help but step back, with his back firmly against the wall, looking at Zhou Jing as if he were a ghost.
He didn't expect that this thief would really dare to attack the prefect, so ruthless, where is this ordinary green forest tyrant, he is simply a rebel!
Fang Zhen, who was not far away, was also startled, and looked at Zhou Jing frequently with shocked eyes.
Although he doesn't reject attacking court officials, he has to carefully consider the consequences or whether it's worth it before he does it. He didn't expect Zhou Jing to do it, as if there is really nothing this person is afraid of in this world.
Zhou Jing looked at the prefect of Lin, who was rolling on the ground, indifferent, and said to himself: "I called ten numbers, if you don't jump, then go on your way."
Lin Zhifu heard the words, where did he still have the pretentious bearing just now, and he held on to not faint from the pain, and exclaimed in horror:
"Don't, don't! I'm an official of the imperial court, a member of the fifth rank, and a disciple of Prime Minister Qin! I have a high position and cannot die here!"
"One, two, three..."
"Honest man! Let me go! This official is still alive, and the case will be put down. If you don't want to be wanted by the government, you will treat the He Huang family as never happened!"
"Four, five, six..."
"No! You can't kill me! If you kill me, the court will never let you go, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will have nowhere to hide!"
"Seven, eight, nine..."
At this moment, the prefect of Lin did not know where the strength came from, but he endured the pain and got up.
He dragged his wide official uniform and ran towards the window in a panic. He didn't dare to hesitate at all, and jumped out, his robe bulging in the wind, like a fairy swaying.
Plop!
The next moment, there was a muffled sound on the street, and then there was no movement.
"...Ten."
Zhou Jing read the last number by himself.
Immediately, he shook his head: "It looks like I'm going to let him go today."
Fang Zhen and Coach Hu, who were on the side, shuddered secretly, and the same thought flashed through.
However you look at it, it doesn't look like "letting him go", it's better to give him a break!
……
The commander Deng hurriedly hurried, and finally saw the Chunyu Tower from a distance, and his mood became more and more precarious.
He left the officers and soldiers and rushed back all the way, just to seize the opportunity and personally report the situation to the prefect.
On the way back, Commander Deng has been thinking about the wording, how to explain the current situation to the prefect, how to extract his own responsibilities as much as possible, and has already drawn up a draft.
"I hope the prefect will not blame me..."
Envoy Deng calmed down, took a deep breath, and walked towards the Chunyu Tower.
But as he got closer, he was stunned to find that there were many people surrounded by many people, and the sound of fighting could be heard from the building.
"Isn't it bad!"
Commander Deng was startled, quickly pushed aside the crowd, and hurried to the gate of Chunyu Tower.
However, when he arrived at the door and was about to rush in, he heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground not far away.
Bang!
Commander Deng turned his head to look subconsciously, his pupils shrank suddenly, panic appeared on his face, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
In his sight, the prefect Lin, who has always been high above, fell on the street more than ten meters away~IndoMTL.com~ His eyes were closed and he lost consciousness. Only his chest was still slightly heaving, and one arm He was cut off, one leg was broken, and the blood spread under him.
"Chief, prefect?"
Commander Deng looked up in disbelief, subconsciously.
By chance, Zhou Jing stuck his head out of the upstairs window, his eyes just met him, and they met each other.
"Hey, isn't this the officer who ran away, are you chasing me?"
Zhou Jing frowned.
The string in Conductor Deng's mind suddenly snapped.
He didn't think about anything, turned around and fled without a word, knocked over the onlookers, and ran for the road with all his life.
What future, what prefect...
At this moment, he left it all behind.
