Chapter 40: Law Enforcement in Embroidered Clothes
Chu Ci thought to himself: "Here it comes——"
Just as Chu Ci had expected, the servant who had left also came over and pointed at Chu Ci and his group. "That's them."
"Go, capture these escaped slaves."
Following the command, a group of people rushed over like hungry tigers, not giving them any chance to explain. Some even took the opportunity to snatch the bags that Qian Chuanzi and his men were carrying.
The old doctor and the servant attempted to escape during the chaos, but they underestimated Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui's reaction speed. They reacted extremely quickly, leaping forward and grabbing the man. Then, without a word, they stuffed the oil-paper wrappings on the counter into their mouths.
On the other hand, Qian Chuanzi and his men are not the kind of people who would sit there and wait for death.
"Kill—" The bundle contained official documents with official seals from the imperial court and various post stations. If they were stolen, their lives would be in vain. He drew the sword from his waist and slashed at the man.
At the same time, they shouted loudly, "Listen up, everyone outside! We are officials escorting exiled prisoners. We were attacked by wild wolves and were forced to come to Ping'an Town to rest. Please ask everyone to call the mayor over. We are not runaway slaves!"
The town wasn't big, and no crime had occurred in decades. So most people didn't believe it and continued to watch. However, some relatives of the mayor heard the shouts and immediately ran towards the mayor's house.
The boy in the grocery store was one of them.
However, he was too close to the pharmacy, and the noise he made when he ran was so loud that it alerted everyone inside. How could they possibly let the mayor come over?
Even if they came, it would be after they successfully destroyed the official documents.
So the young boy was in trouble. A sharp knife stabbed straight into his back where he couldn't see.
"Be careful" "Get out of the way——"
Chu Ci wanted to save people, but he couldn't climb walls and climb roofs, and there was no one here who was a martial arts master. Just when Chu Ci thought the tragedy was inevitable.
A middle-aged man used all his strength to knock the boy out. Then the man's arm was cut by the sharp knife, but fortunately, no vital injuries were caused.
The people present finally realized the seriousness of the situation and ran away screaming.
A middle-aged man used all his strength to push the boy away. Immediately afterwards, the man's arm was slashed by the sharp knife, but fortunately, the injury was not fatal. This was Chu Ci's feeling, and it was also the feeling of everyone present.
"Dad——" the boy turned around and cried out in horror.
The people present finally realized the seriousness of the situation and fled in all directions screaming in terror.
When the plan was exposed and they were unable to capture the city after a long siege, these people simply abandoned their sticks and took out their sharp knives. Their moves became increasingly ferocious and vicious, and they even spared no one, including the elderly, the weak, women and children.
"They are Tatars." The second son had been in a military camp before and recognized the moves used by these people at a glance.
First, a man from southern Xinjiang appeared, and the next day, a group of Tatars appeared. The coincidences were too much! When coincidences become too frequent, they are no longer coincidences, but someone has done it deliberately.
A gleam of light flashed in Fan Jingrui's eyes.
However, what or who could make them willing to expose so many people in order to achieve their goal?
Fan Jingrui, relying on his martial arts, managed to do two things at once: saving people and observing at the same time. Chu Ci, on the other hand, without Xing'er as her "cheat", quickly fell into a dilemma where she was overwhelmed.
Even so, Chu Ci still held the old doctor's arm tightly. When he couldn't avoid it, he would use the old doctor to block it. After all, the old doctor was a spy from the enemy country, and Chu Ci had a clear conscience.
"—Ah, bitch! Bitch!" As the only doctor in town, the old man had never suffered such injustice. While struggling, he actually spat out the oil paper and then cursed loudly.
He actually still had the energy to curse, really thinking he was a vegetarian. Chu Ci slapped him hard. "Try cursing again?"
"Kill her, kill her for me--" The old man was really ruthless this time.
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black suddenly jumped out from nowhere. His fighting power was obviously much higher than that of everyone present. He was so fast that Chu Ci had no time to dodge.
Ahhh, which god had she offended? Why did the ultimate killer always come at her? She really couldn't handle it! "Help—help!"
It's not known whether God heard Chu Ci's cries for help, or whether the secret guards were always nearby. In any case, at the critical moment, Chu Ci was rescued. He quickly engaged in a fierce fight with the black-clad man who was trying to kill Chu Ci.
Chu Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chu Ci hadn't relied on the old doctor's body for support, he would probably have fallen down. It was really too exciting.
Unlike Chu Ci, who was relieved, the old doctor was almost suffocated by anger. This woman was simply a dog-skin plaster. At this critical moment, she still held on to him tightly and refused to let go.
The old doctor regretted it very much. He shouldn't have delayed treating these people.
However, regret was too late. With two sharp whistles, a team of law enforcement officers in embroidered uniforms rushed into the courtyard. The situation was reversed in an instant. Both the old doctor's secret guards and the Tatars disguised as servants were quickly subdued.
Everyone was grateful to have survived the disaster.
Chu Ci looked at the lives lost on the ground, feeling extremely sad. For the first time, he deeply realized that under the imperial power, human life was as light as a feather.
What was there left for Chu Ci to understand? They had been used as bait. They had all survived being trapped by wolves. Yet, here, several young lives had lost their future.
Thinking of this, Chu Ci's eyes became dull and he was in a daze.
However, Chu Ci held onto the old doctor's hand and never let go. If he was pushed too hard, Chu Ci would cling to it like a raccoon, clinging tightly and not letting go.
Helpless, Fan Jingrui could only whisper soothingly, "My lady, my lady. We are safe now. Let him go. Hand him over to the embroidered law enforcement officer for interrogation. He will definitely avenge everyone who died."
"Really?" Chu Ci was not afraid of death, but he was unwilling to die in vain and in vain.
For a moment, Chu Ci fell into a dilemma and completely ignored the Liu family's affairs. If the news about the Liu family was leaked, more people would probably die.
"Yes, the Xiuyi Law Enforcement Officers are the best at interrogation." Fan Jingrui didn't say much, but his cold tone and the resentful looks around him made the old doctor realize that he was in trouble this time.
Having been lurking in the Great Zhou for many years, he had naturally heard of the illustrious reputation of the Embroidered Uniform Law Enforcement Officers. They were simply the nemesis of people like them. Their methods were so cruel that they could make people wish they were dead.
