Qin Official

We must never let them leave!

When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, especially the families who had bought and sold the robbed women. They were the first to turn around and look at Hei Fu with evil eyes.

Seeing that something was not going well, Heifu quickly shouted: The inner prison gate is lying! The law says that as long as you surrender yourself, the punishment will be reduced! If you can help me catch the inner prison gate and the person who bought the girl, Staying here will lessen the crime! You won’t die!”

This is still a lie, but what Heifu wants to do now is to hope that everyone in Blind Mountain will start fighting among themselves because they have different punishments.

But he still overestimated the degree of fear of Qin Lu in this remote country.

Some hesitated, some hesitated, but no one listened to Heifu and took the first step. It takes more courage to take action against one's own tribe and neighbors than against strangers.

On the contrary, Zhong Sheng, the prison gate officer there, simply climbed onto a nearby tiled roof, raised his arms and shouted.

This dog pavilion chief is trying to provoke us, don't be fooled! If we let them go due to internal strife, it will be a disaster for the whole clan. Why not kill all these pavilion soldiers! Anyway, Blind Mountain is remote, and there will be no one to deal with it. Know!”

But Hei Fu laughed and said: I have informed the county magistrate about this a long time ago. If I don't come back for a long time, the government will definitely investigate and send troops from the county and township to suppress it. What awaits you then will not be a group robbery. But it’s the crime of treason against the Yi tribe! Not a single one of the more than 200 people in the city can escape!

Zhong Sheng showed his fierce look: So what, even if you flee to the Chu land, it is better than waiting for death here with the whole clan!

He is also a bachelor, and has already come up with the idea of ​​​​killing people and running away with his family.

Heifu's expression suddenly changed. If the group of people outside really listened to his words and ignored him, he would really be in trouble this time...

He quickly raised his hand crossbow and aimed at the inner prison door. He wanted to shoot the man first, but he was blocked by countless pairs of hands raised high!

The thought of killing officials and fleeing for their lives was like a wildly growing vine, gradually growing in everyone's minds.

The faces in front of them also began to distort and deform, and they shouted loudly to Hei Fu and the soldiers: Kill them!

At this moment, under the threat of genocide, these people did not even care about the lives of Li Li and Tian Dian. Some of them were impatient and even raised the sharp grass and wood in their hands to greet Hei Fu. come over!

Heifu quickly stepped back and formed a circle with everyone, protecting the few women who had no fighting ability in the middle.

They did not cry, but looked indifferently at the surrounding residents who had turned into thugs. They seemed to have been used to it, but the despair in their eyes became deeper and deeper. Li Xian, Dongmen Leopard, and Ji Ying have all gritted their teeth, holding on to their weapons, preparing for a deadly battle with disparity in power!

More than ten steps away, Zhong Sheng, the inner prison gate on the roof, laughed wildly: Head of the pavilion, although the laws you mentioned are strict, they are far away in the county. What can you do to me? What can you do to me?

As soon as he finished speaking, a bowstring sounded outside the inner door, and an arrow shot from the sky, directly piercing the throat of the inner prison door from behind!

…

Zhongsheng, who had just been screaming loudly and inciting the residents to kill officials and flee, lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the arrow that penetrated his throat.

The arrow cluster is a rhombus made of bronze, with vermilion blood droplets on it...

He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but what came out was not words, but blood, which kept coming out from the wound. It was blood foam at first, but slowly turned into a gurgling stream.

Then, Zhong Sheng lost his balance, fell down, rolled several times from the roof of the tiled house where he was standing, rolled down, hit the ground, and became motionless...

More than 200 people in Blind Mountain watched in stunned silence as their inner prison door was shot to death by an arrow from the sky. Everyone looked around in confusion, but they could not find who or where the arrow was shot.

The only clue was a copper whistle that suddenly sounded...

Beep!

A whistle sounded outside the closed inner door.

Beep!

Not long after, the whistle sounded again in Sanglin on the left!

Then, every once in a while, behind the tile house and next to the small bridge, a sharp and piercing whistle will sound outside the wall!

For a moment, the entire Blind Mountain seemed to be surrounded by the sound of the copper whistle!

The residents were very nervous and looked around with fear on their faces.

They were not afraid of Heifu and the others standing in front of them, but they were even more afraid of the hidden arrows hidden where and how many people there were.

Only Hei Fu heard the whistle and understood.

Xiao Tao, that kid hasn't left yet!

This elusive arrow, this clever copper whistle, you can tell as soon as you hear it, it is the handiwork of the stammering young man.

One person, but he acted like ten people. Not only was this guy an accurate arrow, he was also very smart.

Heifu didn't expect that their last support was no longer Qin Lu's majesty, but the back-up he left behind before entering.

This dramatic reversal made him laugh uncontrollably, and then he said loudly to the terrified and panicked residents who were leaderless:

I just tested whether you are willing to surrender and plead guilty. To tell you the truth, I have actually been outside for a long time, ambushing a whole group of archers!

A group of archers!

The residents were shocked. There were fifty people there, and they were all hiding outside? Now that the only smart person is dead, they have no way of telling the truth from the false.

While the residents were in chaos, Heifu pointed at the body at the prison gate, widened his eyes and ordered:

Those who resist in spite of themselves, this is what will happen to them!

Second and Third Sons, if you think you are innocent, then quickly assist the chief of the pavilion and arrest those who bought and sold the women. You only have one chance to surrender and survive. If you don't hurry up, it will be gone!

…

In the early morning of the next day, when Yougong Shuwu of Jinshui Township, together with the county magistrate Le Le, as well as thirty or forty pavilion chiefs, Qiu Pi and pavilion soldiers from various pavilions in Anlu County, rushed to Blind Mountain out of breath. He saw a bizarre scene that he would never forget...

One hundred and eighty people were densely tied to pillars and tree stumps inside the wall of Blind Mountain with tree vines, hemp ropes and belts. Except for a dozen young children and the women who were kidnapped and sold, watching from outside the inner door, all the adults in Blind Mountain were captured without a fight!

And Heifu, the head of the Huyang Pavilion who was dug in by Shu Wu and took over this difficult case, was sitting gracefully on the eaves of the inner wall, playing with a crossbow in his hand, and Xiao Tao, who was arranging an arrow and stretching his bow. , monitoring the hundreds of men and women inside the inner gate, preventing them from making any rash moves.

This...how is this done?

Although Ji Ying, who went to ask for help, told him the outline of what happened, Shu Wu still couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

There are more than 200 people, at least dozens of strong men, and Hei Fu only brought five or six people. Can they really defeat the entire clan in Blind Mountain with one against ten?

I'm just afraid of the majesty of Qin's laws, so I restrained myself. Hei Fu just smiled lightly, as if it was nothing.

In fact, yesterday, after Xiao Tao was shot to death at the inner prison gate, Heifu bluffed and threatened the group of archers lurking outside the wall, deceiving everyone in Blind Mountain into internal strife.

Those families who thought they were innocent and the families who had bought the girl had a fight between the neighbors. They were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and finally they were all tied up.

Then, Heifu changed his expression again, unloaded everyone's farm tools, and used a crossbow to force them to tie him up as well. This was the scene before him.

The history of China for the next two thousand years has proven countless times that when courage dissipates and there is no determination to die, it is common for hundreds of people to surrender to a dozen people.

But the county officials and pavilion chiefs brought by Shu Wu had never seen this scene before, and they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

From the time when the officials were happy, to the pavilion chiefs and Qiu Thieves, they all ignored Shu Wu's livid expression of jealousy and began to praise Hei Fu for his skills. At the same time, he said apologetically: We are a little late.

Heifu didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were a little red.

He looked at the tied up criminal gangsters inside the wall. They were like eggplants beaten by frost. They had lost the majesty they had when they abused women in the past. What awaited them would be the ruthless but fair trial of Qin Law.

Look again at the women who were robbed and sold outside the wall. In the early morning sunshine, Yuan Yuan regained her appearance as a little girl. She was lying in her father's arms and talking in her sleep, with only a slight frown on her brows and tears condensed on her cheeks, as if It reminds me of something unpleasant.

And the battered mad woman Ying had an unknown person put a crown of flowers and plants on her head to cover the horrific scars left by the beating. She stared blankly at the morning light in the sky, gradually revealing her... smile...

yes.

Heifu murmured to himself in the eyes of everyone who looked at him with fear, gratitude, or admiration:

Justice may be delayed...

But never absent!
