"Stop him!"
Tie Zhui had been walking beside Jin Feng's carriage when he saw the bicycle coming towards the team. Worried that it would startle the horse, he quickly shouted to the escort in front.
The two escorts at the front immediately rode forward to stop the bicycle.
But this bicycle was pulling too many things, and it had just come down a slope, so the speed was too fast.
Moreover, the rider was still a novice. He was already very nervous because he could not control the speed of the car. He was even more nervous when he saw the escort blocking him.
In fact, many people have told him that you cannot brake the front wheel when riding a bicycle downhill, otherwise it will easily cause the vehicle to roll over.
But at this time, he forgot all about it when he was nervous, and grasped the front and rear brakes with both hands at the same time.
Because there were too many things on the back seat, he didn't roll over, but after locking the front wheels, he rolled over.
The bicycle fell to the ground with a thud, slid forward along the ground for several meters, and did not stop until it hit a stone on the side of the road.
The cloth bag on the left was also torn, and the goods inside were scattered on the floor.
The rider rolled several times on the road, his clothes on his arms and knees were torn, and blood flowed out immediately.
But he didn't bother to check his wounds. He got up and ran to the side of the bicycle to check the bicycle and cargo.
"Are you desperate for your life? There are so many people on the road and you still run so fast!"
An escort drove his horse forward and cursed at the rider: "My skills are not up to par. When you go down the mountain, don't you know how to brake?"
The rider was still worried about his cargo and bicycle, but when he heard the escort yelling and scolding him, he realized that he had gotten into trouble.
Most of the merchants were eloquent and discerning. Although the escorts had put away their flags, by looking at the clothes of Iron Hammer and the others and the horses they rode, the merchants could tell that the person sitting in the carriage behind must be a big shot from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau.
Although the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has never oppressed the people, the people of Dakang have been oppressed by the government for decades, and their fear of the officers and soldiers has been deeply rooted in their bones.
Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is the king of Sichuan and Sichuan. If you offend the big shots of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, isn't this asking for death?...
Thinking of this, the merchant no longer cared about bicycles and goods. He knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed in the direction of the carriage: "I'm sorry, Lord Jun. I don't have the foresight to block the way of all the Lords. Please ask for help."
Forgive me, man!"
The scolding escort was a little angry at first, but now that Xing Shang kowtowed, he became a little at a loss.
I wanted to go down and pull Xing Shang away, but I remembered that I was still on guard duty and couldn't dismount casually.
For a moment, the escort didn't know what to do.
Because the bicycle fell and the cargo had not been cleaned, the team stopped.
"alert!"
Tie Zhui raised his arm and made a gesture, and the guards immediately dispersed, surrounding Jin Feng's carriage, and looked around cautiously.
Seeing such a huge formation, the merchant became even more frightened, and his head banged on the ground.
"Hammer, go and pull the man up, if he knocks again he will break his head!"
Jin Feng opened the carriage window and said.
In fact, there were scouts in front of the convoy to explore the road, and there were also airships overhead for reconnaissance. Now that the airships and scouts did not send any warning, it means that this merchant is just a merchant, not an assassin.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Tie Zhui signaled a bodyguard to step forward and pull up Xing Shang.

Then he called several escorts by name: "You guys come down to help and clear the road quickly."
"I don't dare to bother you military masters, I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up!"
Seeing this, the merchant hurriedly picked up the goods on the ground.
"Forget it, you'd better clean the wound quickly. It's hot now, so don't let it fester again."
Iron Hammer took out a packet of medicine powder from the horse's trousers and threw it to the merchant: "This is the wound medicine prepared by Mr. Wei himself. Sprinkle it on and it will form scars in a day!"
The merchant picked up the powder, thinking that Iron Hammer was taking the opportunity to extort money, so he cautiously asked: "Excuse me, Master Jun, how much does it cost?"
"No money, I'll give it to you!" Iron Hammer said nonchalantly.
"What can I do without money?" The merchant quickly took out his money bag from his arms: "I just finished purchasing the goods, and now I only have so much money left. Don't be too short, sir!"
"I don't want the money if I say you don't want it, take it back quickly!" Tie Shui shouted with a glare.
Seeing him like this, the merchant was frightened, so he had to take back his money bag, and then bowed to the hammer: "Thank you, Master!"
Iron Hammer waved his hand: "Be careful when riding in the future. Use brakes when going downhill like this. We encountered us today. What if you bump into other people walking?"
"What the military master taught me is that the villain was reckless!" Xing Shang agreed while explaining: "The villain thought that the brakes would grind the wheels too much, so he didn't dare to use the brakes. I will pay attention to it in the future!"
The brake structure of his bicycle is the same as that of the 28-bar, but because there is no rubber, the brake pads are not made of rubber, but are made of cork. The braking effect is not as good as rubber, and the damage to the wheels is much greater than that of rubber.
Replacing a wheel is a big burden for traders, and many traders don't use the brakes when going downhill.
This kind of behavior is very dangerous, and many businessmen have had accidents because of it, and there have even been vicious accidents in which people and cars rushed down the cliff and killed passers-by.
The bodyguards who patrol the official roads will also reprimand such traders when they encounter them, but they still continue to ban them.
The escorts acted very quickly, and in a short time they had cleared away the goods scattered on the road. They also helped the merchants to replace the frayed bags and tied the goods to the bicycles.
"Thank you, military masters! Thank you, military masters!"
The merchant kept bowing to the bodyguards to express his gratitude.
"Be careful when riding in the future. If a wheel is broken, you can replace it with another one. If you hit someone, how many wheels will the compensation be enough for you to replace?" Iron Hammer scolded again, and then signaled the team to start again.
"The military master taught you a lesson!"
Hongshang also knew that he was at fault, so he kept apologizing to Iron Hammer, and then watched the convoy leave.
Jin Feng was afraid of attracting people to watch, so he never showed up. He just spoke to Tie Hammer in a carriage.
When passing by the merchant, Jin Feng glanced out through the gap in the curtain.
Looking at the wounds on Hong Shang's body, Jin Feng said helplessly: "It seems that it is necessary to enact a road safety law."
When admonitions are useless, laws can only be enacted.
Most businessmen are sensitive to money and will remember it after being punished a few times.
Of course, Jin Feng enacted the law not for the fine, but for the hope of fewer traffic accidents in the future.
Now there have been cases of serious casualties with just bicycles. When motor vehicles appear in the future, once a traffic accident occurs, the harm will be even greater.
He believes that the original intention of policymakers in previous lives when formulating road safety laws was also the same.
