Jiang Fan was caught off guard. Although this was the Susong County Government Office, the environment was still the type he was familiar with. It was the safest place, so he didn't take any precautions.
His neck was in severe pain from being strangled by the rope, and his whole body could hardly move. Jiang Fan was in so much pain that he couldn't even lift his hands.
With the force on his neck, Jiang Fan's body fell backwards, followed by the person behind him. Soon there was a shock from behind, and he seemed to hit the wall. A figure flashed out from the side and closed the door with a creak.
The friend in the scene lowered his voice and yelled, "Come on, let's strangle him! strangle him!"
The man hurriedly turned to Jiang Fan, holding a waist knife, but the friend behind the scenes said urgently, "Don't bleed, it will be difficult to clean up, strangle to death!"
The man put the knife at his feet in a panic, but he didn't know where to put his hand.
Jiang Fan's face was red, and his Adam's apple was stuck under the rope. When his throat was strangled, he couldn't exhale the air in his chest.
The hemp rope not only strangled the blood vessels and trachea, but also severely stimulated the nerves in the neck, making every movement of Jiang Fan extremely difficult.
He slowly raised his hand, and could only barely touch the hemp rope, but could not make it relax a little. The man behind him breathed violently, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and the man in front of him didn't know where to start, so he moved towards Jiang Fan.
Beat randomly.
The friend was so anxious that he didn't know what to do in the room.
Jiang Fan's mouth was wide open, his eyes were distracted, and his consciousness was gradually blurring. He grabbed the rope a few times with both hands, and then slowly and wildly waved it around. Suddenly, his right hand touched a hard object around his waist.
After leaving Luzhou, Jiang Fan brought two more short knives with him, one on his calf and one on his lower abdomen. He could reach into his arms and touch the handle of the knife.
Jiang Fan grabbed the handle of the knife with difficulty, his eyes suddenly condensed, and enduring the severe pain in his throat, he mustered up his last bit of strength to pull out the short knife and stabbed it in the back.
There was a scream behind him, and Jiang Fan felt his neck loosen, and the air in his chest spurted out.
The man behind him shouted again and wanted to continue to tighten the rope. Jiang Fan knew that this was a life-or-death situation, so he shook the handle of the knife desperately, causing the blade to stir in the man's thigh. The man couldn't bear this kind of drama.
Feeling the pain, he subconsciously pushed Jiang Fan away. Jiang Fan squeezed the handle of the knife tightly, and the blade followed him and pulled away from the man's thigh.
The man behind him couldn't help but scream again. At this time, Jiang Fan took a deep breath, breathing in the fresh air, and his mind suddenly became clearer.
The situation in the room suddenly changed. The man in front of him was obviously not a person who was good at killing. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Fan take out the knife. At this time, he was picking up the waist knife, and the blade had only been half drawn out. Jiang Fan used the force of the push from behind to slash the knife.
It plunged into the waist of the man in front of him, and the man let out a scream, and they both fell to the ground.
Jiang Fan ignored him and stabbed the opponent desperately with the short knife in his hand. The man had not drawn out the knife and had no power to resist. Blood sprayed everywhere.
There were three enemies in the house. Although Jiang Fan had a knife, he was completely weak from being strangled, and he didn't know if the person holding the rope had a knife. At this time, he just stabbed randomly and killed one of them. As long as the other two people used a knife to chop him.
Kill him, he will definitely die on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the friend screamed in surprise, opened the door and escaped.
Jiang Fan was powerless to stop him, his breathing was still extremely rapid at this time, and the stabbing action almost exhausted all his physical strength. Seeing that his friend escaped, as long as he called a few more people in, he could be hacked to death with random swords.
The people under him kept screaming. Jiang Fan remembered that the person behind him was only injured. He lost this person and threw himself at the person behind him. The person was still clutching his thigh and twisting in pain.
Jiang Fan didn't care about his pain, no matter where he was, he stabbed wherever he could, waving blood beads with his short knife. It wasn't until Jiang Fan ran out of strength that the killing in the room stopped.
Jiang Fan lay in a pool of blood and panted violently. From the moment he let go of the rope, he had been fighting fiercely, and his physical strength was already exhausted. After a while, Jiang Fan's breathing gradually eased, his eyes gradually condensed, and he could smell the smell in his nose.
Sensing the smell of blood all over the room, Jiang Fan glanced around and saw blood all over the room. He was almost sitting in the blood.
Jiang Fan stood up with difficulty, closed the door and slid down against the wall, feeling a little safer in his heart.
But he knew that he was still waiting to die. Once his friends gathered all the troops to rush in, the door would be unstoppable, and it would be time for him to return to the west.
But what surprised him was that for a long time after the friend escaped, he heard no shouting from outside and no one rushed in.
Then he looked down at the two corpses on the ground. He and the two were strangers to each other. Their resistance was not strong. They were obviously not experienced people in the battlefield. They were not even quick in the yamen. At most, they were at the level of ordinary servants.
It's just that the person behind him is stronger.
Jiang Fan had no clue why the two men wanted to kill him, or why they didn't call in help after their secret comrades escaped.
This is the county government office, the so-called best place. No matter how imaginative Jiang Fan was, he never thought that he would be attacked in the county government office. It seemed that the other party was still unwilling to announce it.
Jiang Fan stood in the room filled with the smell of blood, his eyes flashing constantly. After a while, he suddenly stood up and looked at himself. Although there were blood stains on Zaobei's uniform, it was cyan, so no red could be seen.
He leaned down and wiped his face with the corpse's clothes, rubbed his shoes on the two of them, then opened the door and walked out in a big way.
It was quiet in the corridor, with no one around. The guest house of the county government was usually used to receive officials. If there was no reception, few people would come.
Jiang Fan put the knife in his sleeve and walked nervously through the corridor. Every step felt like he was stepping on the edge of an abyss. It seemed that a large group of killers would appear from around him at any time and chop him into a pulp.
After turning out of the corridor, there were several people talking in the second hall. They looked up at Jiang Fan and ignored him. They seemed to be officials from the yamen, talking about something outside the second hall.
Jiang Fan buried his head and tried his best to pass by a few people as normally as possible, and walked from the side door to the lobby.
As soon as he walked out, Jiang Fan looked up and saw the friend standing in the passage on the left side of the lobby, obviously watching the results from a relatively safe place in the lobby.
Both of them were shocked. When the secret agent saw Jiang Fan walking out, he knew that the two people were dead, and there was unconcealable panic in his eyes.
Jiang Fan's scalp was numb, and then he calmed down. His eyes quickly glanced left and right. There was nothing unusual in the hall. It was obvious that this friend didn't call anyone at all, which meant that he didn't dare to say anything. Jiang Fan had killed two people, so he didn't dare to say anything.
.
The two of them looked at each other probingly, Jiang Fan felt his mouth was dry, this county government seemed so weird.
Jiang Fan felt liquid flowing on the back of his hand. It should be the blood stains on his sleeves. At this time, it gathered into trickles and flowed down. If the blood flowed down and attracted other people's attention, or if he stood still for a long time, someone would find him.
That invisible blood stain.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan made a decision and walked directly towards the friend.
The distance kept shortening, and the friend's expression changed, sometimes frightened and sometimes gnashing his teeth, obviously thinking of countermeasures in his heart.
Jiang Fan stared into his eyes, holding the hilt of the knife tightly in his sleeve. If the man behind the scenes screamed, he would kill him first to take his back.
The distance was reduced to three steps, and the curtain mate couldn't bear the pressure on his face, so he involuntarily took a step back and gave way to the passage.
Jiang Fan maintained his pace, and the friend behind the scene took two steps back, his back pressed against the wall, and looked at Jiang Fan with a complicated expression.
Jiang Fan slowly passed by his friend. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then they passed each other.
Jiang Fan walked out of the lobby slowly and walked out of the corridor.
Jiang Fan let out a long sigh of relief, his vest already soaked with sweat. He glanced around the street and saw people coming and going in front of the door. The group of gangsters were still on the splayed wall.
He had never felt that Bang Xian and Qing Pi were so friendly. Looking around, Jiang Fan didn't even bother to take the horse from the inn, and left the city directly from the south.
Susong is not far from the Yangtze River. The road is full of ponds, lakes and polders, and willow trees are planted along the road.
Jiang Fan had no intention of watching and did not dare to stop on the road. He turned several turns and kept looking back. After making sure that no one was following, Jiang Fan sat down on the edge of the road.
After sitting there for a moment, Jiang Fan suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.
After a while, he stopped, raised his head, panted for a long time, looked at the gray sky and murmured, "This is a bloody world!"
..."You are such a damned bitch! I originally asked you to give him money, but now you ask him to escape. This, this, will cause endless troubles."
Not far from the scene of the fight, in the study of Susong County Yamenhouzhai, a civil servant wearing a sixth-grade official uniform kept trembling with his fingers, pointing at the secret servant in front of him and roaring in a low voice.
The secret servant buried his head and said anxiously, "Even a hundred taels of silver with him will still be a handle in the future. No amount of money can satisfy the greed of those cheap servants, and there will be endless troubles. The villain also has long-term plans for the adults."
The civil servant waved his hand and hammered his friend on the head. While hammering, he cursed, "Long-term plan, I told you to plan it! It depends on how you plan it!"
His face was full of shock and anger, and he looked ferocious. With his movements, even the patched egret on his official uniform seemed to be about to pounce out and bite someone.
The secret servants did not dare to resist or resist. They lowered their heads and allowed the civil servants to beat him. The civil servants became angrier with the beatings and roared and beat him down hard.
"oops!"
The civil servant was hit on the hard top of his head, and he screamed while covering his right hand. The secretariat was dizzy for a while, and then he recovered. Seeing that his head was in trouble again, he didn't know what to do, so he could only cry, "I don't dare to touch the Yazhong."
The manpower was only the groom and the doorman brought by the adult. The villain first peeked at the man in the hall, and he was not very strong. He thought that the two of them could strangle him to death. Who knew he had a knife on him, how could he have it?
Hurry up and bring a knife."
"I'm going hundreds of miles out of Tongcheng. Why don't I bring a knife to guard against a thief?"
The civil servant raised his hand to hit him, but suddenly he felt pain in his hand. He quickly put his hand down and kicked the friend with his foot.
The curtain friend was kicked back two steps. He didn't dare to get closer, so he stayed where he was.
The civil servant scolded angrily, "You dare to hide, you are a bitch. Come over here."
The screen friend turned sideways and came over, the civil servant kicked him again, and the screen friend accepted it in a muffled voice.
After this strenuous exercise, the civil servant couldn't help but panting. He supported the table and returned to his seat. He sat down and panted. He picked up the tea cup to drink water, but it was empty.
Angrily, he raised the cup and threw it at his friend. The friend didn't dodge, and the cup hit him and fell to the ground with a crash, breaking into several pieces.
After hearing the sound, the civil servant seemed to feel a little relieved, and he slumped in his chair and did not fight or scold him for the time being.
This civil servant was Chen Shifu, general magistrate of Anqing Prefecture. After Yang Fangqian passed the exam and left office, because the new county magistrate had not arrived, he was appointed as the acting magistrate of Susong County.
After Chen Shifu calmed down for a moment, he looked at his friend and gritted his teeth and said, "The news of the arrival of the rogue bandits was only sent to me by the Anqing Mansion. The person who conveyed the message was my confidants. I strictly sealed the news. No one in Susong knew that the rogue bandits were coming.
I have told the Yazhong that today I will go to Anqing Mansion to represent Jiang Fang. This is a good reason. From then on, I will have nothing to do with Songpo and Bupo, because I have not learned the news at all.
I just happened to go to inspect Jiangfang.
The confidant is a member of the family, and if he is given some money and goes away, there is no way to prove the matter.
With such a foolproof method, how could a Tongcheng Ma Kuai alarm appear out of nowhere and you still tell him to get away? If he gets away, I won't be able to get away! What do you think we should do now?"
"The villain doesn't know."
The curtain friend was sweating profusely. Even though it was early spring, it felt like we were in the middle of summer. "But my lord, you should leave first."
"How can we leave? Someone came to inform the police of the rogue bandits. I am the acting magistrate of the county. Now that I have the news, I have the responsibility to defend the land and protect the people. If I leave now, I will be greedy for life and abandon the city. In the end, I will be beheaded by a Western City.
"
Chen Shifu leaned weakly on the back of his chair. After a moment of silence, two lines of tears actually flowed down his cheeks. He murmured, "God damn the gangsters, God damn Tongcheng horses, you are trying to force me to death."
, I have no grievances against you, why are you so cruel!"
Seeing Chen Shifu crying sadly, the aide did not dare to disturb him. After a while, he thought that Chen Shifu had calmed down a bit, and then he started to persuade him again, "My lord, I will be able to turn danger into good, but we need to make a decision early today."
Chen Shifu's eyes were blank, "They are blocking both sides. My way back is in this county government office. How can I decide where to go?"
The friend of the guard said anxiously, "Go back to Anqing to save your life, sir. What Tongcheng Ma Kuai said must be true. The bandits have reached Qianshan and can reach Susong at any time. There is not even a wall here, let alone one who can defend it or not."
When bandits come, they will always kill the court officials. The trouble will always come later. Only by saving your life can you worry about the trouble later."
Chen Shifu wiped his tears, sat up and put his hands on the desk, thinking for a moment with a gloomy face, "That makes sense."
After receiving the affirmation, the secret agent felt a little calmer and his IQ gradually recovered. He said to Chen Shifu again, "The horse didn't dare to say anything when it was about to leave. Anyone who escaped from death would be frightened. After leaving the county government, he would definitely not dare to cause trouble."
, must have left the city in a flash, and no one in the city knew anything about it. You just left, and you didn’t get the news. You definitely didn’t abandon the city to avoid the invaders."
"What about the two dead bodies in the house?"
"That room is not in the lobby. It is always behind the guest house. No one will go there if the door is locked. If rogue bandits arrive and kill many people, then the corpses in the room will naturally be killed by rogue bandits."
Chen Shifu leaned on his desk and remained silent for a long time. He was a scholar who passed the imperial examination. He had encountered this kind of struggle several times. When he heard that Tongcheng's horse was about to run away, he immediately lost control. At this time, he finally recovered with the help of his friend.
"Let's go, let's go immediately, I still want to go to Anqing to represent Jiang Fang."
Chen Shifu looked at his friend fiercely, "No matter what, no one has been to Anqing. You and I have never heard of the bandit invasion. As for the Tongcheng horse racing just now, he has never been to the county government. If he says he has been in the future,
We all deny it, and he has absolutely no evidence."
The curtain friend nodded and said, "Exactly, but the officials in the county government office have also seen that fast horse..." Chen Shifu snorted and said, "Then it would be better if he is still alive and the Susong County government office is killed by the bandits.
