The laborers who had been weak and vulnerable just now drew out long knives from under the carts one by one and subdued them in the blink of an eye.
Then the brothers hiding around rushed forward and dragged the officers and soldiers aside.
Looking at the heads of people gathering in all directions, the leading officers and soldiers felt hopeless and thought they were doomed.
He closed his eyes, waiting for the knife to strike his neck, but...
"What are you going to do!"
The officer, whose upper body had been stripped, held on to his pants tightly, his face flushed red as he said, "You are a bunch of beasts!"
"Snap"
Tiger Eyes slapped him on the back of the head, "You fucking beast, I want your clothes!"
“…”
A moment later, a team of "officers and soldiers" emerged, and Su Man and Yuan Junshi were among them.
Military Advisor Yuan said in a deep voice, "We must return here before the city gate guards change shifts at noon."
"clear."
The Yuan army advisor stayed at the city gate to provide support, while Su Man took some of the "officers and soldiers" to escort the bandits into the city.
Due to the city lockdown, the once bustling Qingyun City has become much quieter.
Things couldn't be brought in, so the vendors selling new things didn't set up their stalls. Only those selling rouge and powder occasionally passed by.
The Tiger Eyes and their entourage, dressed in official uniforms, finally felt proud and walked around with their official swords slung over their shoulders. However, the brothers they were escorting were not very satisfied.
The mouse grumbled, "Why can't I be a soldier?"
"You, with your shifty eyes, still want to be a soldier? Maybe in your next life."
The mouse feels wronged, so just don't act unfairly. Why make personal attacks on him?
The journey was smooth sailing. Ordinary civilians would stay away from the sight of the official uniform. Occasionally, when they encountered patrolling officers, Tiger Eyes would raise his chin and greet them without waiting for them to speak, looking very familiar.
"Brother is busy."
"Uh, yes."
"We still have prisoners to escort. Let's go."
"Oh, okay."
The officers and soldiers nodded subconsciously, but when Tiger Eye and the others passed by, they were all confused, "Who was that person just now?"
"I don't know, I thought you knew him."
"I don't know him."
“…”
In this way, they swaggered all the way to Fang's house.
As they expected, the Fang family's guards were far fewer than before, but there were still eleven or twelve people stationed at the door.
Although the Fang family's mansion wasn't in a busy city, there were still many people coming and going. If they acted rashly, they might hurt innocent people.
When they passed by the Fang family, they kept walking, but the head of the guards who stayed behind stopped them and asked, "What are you doing?"
Normally, officers and soldiers do not need to report their actions to a prefect, but Fang Qingshan's influence in Qingyun City puts him above the government, and the same is true for his soldiers.
Su Man, who was hiding in the crowd, exchanged glances with Tiger Eyes, who immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Brother, we just caught a few bandits outside and are about to send them to jail."
"bandit?"
The leader frowned. "Aren't you wearing guard uniforms? Why are you catching bandits? What's your name?"
"I..." Tiger Eye was speechless.
Seeing that the truth was about to be revealed, Su Man pushed the mouse and shouted, "The prisoner is about to escape!"
As soon as the words fell, the brothers immediately ran in coordination.
The incident happened suddenly, and the leader's attention was diverted, which helped them chase the fugitive.
"stop!"
Passersby scattered and cars and horses overturned.
When the soldiers stationed at the Fang family were concentrating on chasing the fugitive, the "officers and soldiers" behind them suddenly attacked.
"What are you doing!"
The leader knew that something was wrong and was about to call for help when a long knife flashing with a cold light was placed across his neck.
The fight just now had already scared away passers-by. Several groups of people were mixed together, and it was impossible to tell who was attacking whom. All that could be seen was a chaotic mess.
The servants in the mansion heard the noise and hurried to report to their master.
Fang Qingshan was not at home, and Mrs. Fang had taken Fang Junye out to visit someone, so she had to inform Fang Junyi first.
Fang Junyi's injury had not yet healed completely, but he had been fighting bandits for many years, so when he heard that there were bandits causing trouble, he struggled to his feet.
Because Su Man and Mo Niang ran away, he is now living a life worse than a servant at home, and he is very eager to work for the Fang family to prove his loyalty.
He rushed out with seven or eight servants, sword in hand, and shouted towards the door, "I'm here, who dares to act rashly?"
The subdued palace soldier: "......"
The Black Wind Village bandits holding knives: "......"
The air was quiet for a few seconds, and Fang Junyi, who had reacted, shouted, "Quick! Close the door!"
Although his reaction was not slow, it was already too late.
The door was closed and Suman and his group were inside.
Tiger Eye stepped on Fang Junyi's back and said, "Why are you trying to stand up to me? Do you think your little arms can be stronger than your big legs?"
Even though Fang Junyi was being stepped on, he still refused to give in and held his head high. "Even if I only have my last breath left, I will never stand against you bandits!"
Haozi: "Really? I don't believe it."
Tiger Eyes: "Why not just beat him till he has his last breath?"
Haozi: "I think it's okay."
The two men sang the same tune, and Fang Junyi was no longer as tough as before, "What on earth do you want to do by breaking into the house of an imperial official?"
"Can't you see? Of course it's hostage-taking."
A female voice with a hint of smile sounded, and Fang Junyi was stunned. He looked up in disbelief. Su Man had taken off her hat and was looking at him with a smile.
"Second Master Fang, long time no see."
