my grandmother

Chapter 149
On the night at the end of July, the thin and weak moon was covered by layers of dark clouds, and the sea breeze blew over, bringing the smell of salty sea.

In a depression not far from the pier, there are several rows of low, dilapidated houses.

This was originally a place where the garrison temporarily stacked hay, but it had been abandoned for several years because of the heavy humidity. It was rented by new porters in recent months for a very small amount of money. At this moment, these rows The house is already full of people.

In the dark night, groups of men in black clothes and trousers gathered from several directions. The leading four or five people gathered together and stood on a high place, looking at the low-lying area.

"Is there enough oil?" The leader in the middle asked in a low voice.

"Well, I brought four or five extra barrels, and I have to burn them to the bone!" A leader gritted his teeth.

"According to our plan, the three of you each occupy a position, make a round together, and then withdraw quickly. We will go through with the two of them again. After that, you will pour fuel on the fire. Are you clear?" The leader in the middle lowered his head Low command.

"Yeah!" Several leaders nodded together.

"God bless you today! Kill!" The leader in the middle was murderous.

Several leaders dispersed, led their respective teams, ran to their positions, drew out specially made kitchen knives and axes, and surrounded several rows of houses in the low-lying area from three sides.

There were still seven or eight feet away from the rows of houses. The men walking in the front raised their kitchen knives and axes and shouted "killing". Just as they were about to start running, the surroundings suddenly burst into flames, countless torches were raised, and the piercing sound of bowstrings In the midst of this, a loud voice scolded Mother, "Damn it, stop for me!"

More than a dozen sharp arrows roared and pierced in front of the dozen or so men who couldn't stand still. Some of them were unlucky and were pierced through their feet by the sharp arrows, screaming again and again.

"Shut up!" The young general under the fire sternly yelled, and the screaming man quickly shut up.

The porters from several rows of houses ran out, and many of them were naked, standing in a group, staring dumbfounded at the black-clothed men who had been immobilized around them. Outside the black-clothed men, Under countless torches, each archer raised his bow and arrow, aiming at the man in black and them.

Gu Yan wore a narrow-sleeved riding suit embroidered with gold and python patterns on a black background, stood next to the young general, and smiled as he looked at the man in black who was fixed in place by the bow and arrow.

There was a whirring sound, and the archers made way for a passage, and several other men in black huddled together, pointed at by spears, and drove into the circle of archers. The last group of men in black carried a barrel of oil, and poured the oil Pile them in the designated place, line up and kneel on the ground.

The immobilized kitchen knife hand and axe hand were also stabbed with spears, throwing kitchen knives into a pile, throwing axes into a pile, and people kneeling in a row.

Several black-clothed leaders were pulled out by the soldiers and knelt in a row at the front.

The porters in the depression knelt down on the spot knowingly.

"My lord, I was ordered by the Ministry to assist the Sea Tax Department. The first day I arrived at the pier, I told you that there is only one thing I don't allow, my lord. You said, what is this one not allowed?" Gu Yan kicked the person kneeling in front of him. Black collar.

"No fighting." The leader in black didn't dare to look up.

"Is he right?" Gu Yan kicked another black-clothed leader again.

"Yes." The leader was a little more courageous, he looked up at Gu Yan, his eyes hurt from the shining golden python pattern under the torch.

"Then what are you doing? Say!" Gu Yan raised his foot to support the chin of the leader in black.

"My lord, please spare me." The leader in black had to look at Gu Yan.

"Master asked you something." Gu Yan put his feet down. "What are you doing? Say it!"

"It's because they bullied people too much." The leader in black kowtowed.

"Do you not understand people's words, or do you bully me and dare not do anything to you?" Gu Yan took a step back, "I'll ask you again, the last time, what are you doing?"

"Kill... no, fight, fight." The leader in black had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Look, they ignore my words." Gu Yan turned around, looked at Yang Qifan, and sighed.

"Too much blood has been killed, it smells bad, tie it up and throw it into the sea." Yang Qifan suggested.

"The prince is coming soon, too many dead people are unlucky." Gu Yan sighed again, "Besides, our swords are used to kill enemies outside the gate, and inside the gate are all the people of the empire. If you kill, you don't kill, at least you can't kill without teaching."

"You can't just forget about it, look at those kitchen knives and axes, they are very sharp." Yang Qifan clicked his tongue, "Why don't you cut off your hands and feet."

"Oh, forget it, how can they support their children after their hands and feet are cut off, do you all have children?" Gu Yan asked loudly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" the man in black yelled and kowtowed.

"But, it won't work if you just let it go." Gu Yan frowned, and thought for a while, "Yes! Tomorrow morning, you go to the pier and apologize to them.

"Let me tell you, you are all working on the pier, we are brothers, you can't bully me all day long, I bully you to fight and kill, look, me and your master Yang don't cut you with this knife, can you Allow you to chop your brothers with knives?
"Forget it this time, I'll teach you guys, and next time, I'll send you all to the northern pass, put you at the front, and let you carry your knives and chop your fill.

"Go back and tell your bosses, sir, I will assist the Sea Taxation Department for a day, and no fighting is allowed on this pier, anytime, anywhere."

"Master, they are the ones who pretended to be the bamboo chips, and they broke the rules." The leader said boldly.

"How did they claim it?" Gu Yan asked.

"They get one chip in one trip, and two trips to get one." A leader next to him hurriedly replied.

"Why do you get one for two trips?" Gu Yan looked surprised, "The pier I walked by always got one for one trip. I've never heard of one for two trips. Have you ever heard of it?" Gu Yan Yan asked Yang Qifan.

"No! Never!" Yang Qifan replied firmly.

"Why do you only get one for two trips? Don't tell me it's a rule." Gu Yanyang asked in a loud voice.

Several leaders looked at each other in blank dismay. This is the rule. It cannot be called a rule, so what else can I say?
"Two trips get one, that means two trips count as one trip. I've never heard of such a thing. Go back and ask carefully why this happened. Find out one, two, three, and come to me and report." Gu Yanyang raised his voice, Every word.

"Even if you can say one, two, three, you shouldn't." Yang Qifan answered.

"Your Master Yang is right. First, ask me clearly why two trips are counted as one trip. Is this the case since the establishment of the Customs Department, or did something happen in the middle? Second, you discuss and discuss the two trips. It's changed every time, the whole world counts every time, why are you different?" Gu Yan ordered in a very casual manner.

"Yes." The little chiefs didn't dare to say anything other than yes.
