Wind Rises in North America 1625

Chapter 115: Guangzhou Incident (Part )
He Laosi looked at the two men leaning against the wall of a house on one side of the alley, constantly looking left and right, with their whole bodies on guard, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Damn it, after some trouble, I finally blocked them here.

The burly man who looked like a guard was holding a dagger in his hand. He took a few steps forward and leaned forward slightly, protecting the tall young man behind him.

Oh, what? You still want to fight to the bitter end and struggle to your death?

There are five of us here, two of us will serve one of you, and we still have one extra person.

"Be smart and throw away the knife, then take out all the money and belongings you have." He Laosi swung the short knife in his hand with a disdainful look, "Later, I will give you a quick death. Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead. ... I have a hundred ways to deal with you!"

"My dear fellows!" Lin Sanhu, holding his knife, bowed to He Laosi and the others and said loudly, "I am Lin Sanhu, and I greet you gentlemen. As a man in the world, there is a way. If you gentlemen are here to seek wealth, as your host, I, Lin, can offer you some silver. I may not have thousands or tens of thousands of taels, but a hundred or eighty taels is certainly within my reach."

"If we offer you silver, please leave a way for us so that we can meet again someday. In this way, I, Lin, will thank you for saving my life."

"Tsk!" He Laosi sneered, pointing his knife at the two men. "Look at you, you're just talking nonsense! I told you just now, just drop your weapons and kneel down to surrender. Hand over your belongings, and I'll give you a quick death."

"My dear heroes, do you really want to kill us all?" Lin Sanhu's face turned cold and he slowly raised the dagger in his hand.

"It's not that we absolutely want to kill you. The main thing is, the master behind you owes the lives of more than twenty of our brothers!"

"Huh?" Lin Sanhu was stunned and subconsciously looked back at Zhong Minghui.

Although the owner was tall and sturdy, he had clear features and a handsome appearance. He always spoke in a friendly manner. He sympathized with the refugees and beggars on the street and gave them alms. He took in many of them and kept them in his warehouse.

Normally, he has never been seen to be violent or cruel, and he rarely says anything harsh.

If he were to wear a Confucian robe, he might become a handsome young man.

Well, a slightly larger version of Jia Gongzi!

Is it him who owes the lives of more than twenty of these thieves in front of him?

"Hey, are you the pirates who hijacked our ship in Lingdingyang two years ago?" Zhong Minghui suddenly remembered something and asked immediately.

"That's right!" He Laosi stared at him gloomily. "Two years ago, one of my brothers was killed by your muskets. Shouldn't we settle this account? Don't worry, after I've dealt with you two, I'll go tonight and set fire to that warehouse you rented and burn it to the ground!"

"You're so unreasonable!" Zhong Minghui secretly took off the safety of his pistol, looked around to see how close the thieves were, and said slowly, "When the thieves attacked, we had to defend ourselves and shoot you one by one. We couldn't just stop the ship and let you rob us without any trouble. ... If you die, you die, and you should just consider yourself unlucky. Now, you're here to seek revenge, but that's no longer a moral code!"

"Government ethics? ... Pah!" He Lao Si spat, knife raised, and slowly approached. "Whether it was making a living on the sea before, or robbing and killing you two fools now, I relied on the power of numbers. ... You thought this was just some street performance, what's the point of talking about justice?"

"Well, that's what you said, there's no need to talk about the code of conduct." Zhong Minghui raised his hand and raised his pistol, pointing it at the slowly approaching thieves. "So, don't say I'm bullying you with a gun!"

He Laosi looked at the tall young man holding a weapon that looked like a pistol, and felt an inexplicable danger. His pupils suddenly contracted sharply, his entire scalp exploded instantly, and his steps stopped immediately.

Oh no, this guy has evidence!

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out, and He Laosi felt as if his chest was hit hard by a sledgehammer. He staggered back a few times, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. His mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he fell heavily on his back on the ground, his hands and feet twitching constantly.

"Brothers, shoulder to shoulder!" A pirate saw this and immediately rushed forward, waving a short knife, "This hand gun is out of medicine!"

"boom!"

Zhong Minghui raised his hand and fired another shot, knocking the pirate who was rushing towards him from the right to the ground.

The blow missed slightly, only hitting his arm, but he still fell to the ground after being injured, covering the injured part and wailing.

Two consecutive gunshots startled the remaining three pirates. They held their daggers, hesitant and not daring to take another step forward. My God, this hand cannon can actually fire continuously!
"Drop all the knives in your hands!" Zhong Minghui raised his pistol and ordered the three pirates.

"He..., he... there's no way there's any more pills in his pistol..." A pirate still didn't believe it and waved his dagger twice. "Let's... go together and avenge the boss..."

"Guess if I still have any bullets in my pistol?" Zhong Minghui raised his gun and aimed at the unwilling pirate.

"boom!"

A bullet hit him right in the face, and he fell backward without a sound.

"Hiss..." The last remaining pirate was suddenly frightened and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Hey, why are you so unreasonable?

Didn't you want us to guess if there are any bullets left in your pistol?
How come he decided to kill the person the moment he finished speaking?

"This is my last warning to you. Throw the knives in your hands to the ground!" Zhong Minghui ordered coldly.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Under the threat of the black muzzle of the gun, the two pirates threw the daggers in their hands to the ground without hesitation.

"Sanhu, find a rope and tie them up."

"..." Lin Sanhu was still in a daze holding the dagger, without any response.

What's the situation?
Faced with the pirates who were surrounding him, Mr. Zhong simply took out a pistol and fired three shots, knocking three ferocious pirates to the ground, and then forced the remaining two pirates to surrender.

I am obviously Mr. Zhong's bodyguard, so why did the master have to step in and resolve the dangerous situation just now?
"What are you still standing there for? ... We'll have to call in the patrol officers soon, and it'll be hard to explain!"

Lin Sanhu shuddered suddenly and stepped forward quickly. He kicked the two daggers on the ground behind him, then forced the two pirates to kneel on the ground with the knives, then pulled out their belts and tied their hands behind their backs in a few seconds.

"Mr. Zhong, what should we do next?" Lin Sanhu sighed and turned to look at Zhong Minghui.

In his hand he no longer held the powerful pistol, but a sharp dagger.

"Let's find a quiet place and interrogate them!" Zhong Minghui looked at the two bodies on the ground, then glanced at the pirate who was pretending to be dead with his arms folded. "I want to see if there are any other accomplices behind them."

"Hey!..." Lin Sanhu walked up to the pirate pretending to be dead and kicked him hard. "Hurry up and get up! Otherwise, I'll chop you off with my sword!... Fuck your mother, you have no moral principles!... Believe it or not, I'll chop off both of your heads and take them to the government to collect the reward!"

"By the way, Master Zhong, shouldn't we hand these pirates over to the authorities?"

"Let's find a place to try the case first." Zhong Minghui looked around and found that some neighbors were clinging to the wall and peeking over here.

A few gunshots must have alarmed the surrounding residents, and they might even call the police.

Even though he was the victim, he was afraid that if he shot and killed pirates in the street, he would not be able to explain himself to the authorities and would be involved in a lawsuit for no reason.

To be on the safe side, it is better to escape early and not let the patrol officers or bailiffs take it away.

However, the fact that this group of pirates came ashore and sought revenge on them made people feel extremely uneasy.

If their accomplices continue to retaliate, just like the first pirate who was killed said, they will sneak into the warehouse at night, set fire to you, and launch a surprise attack at night, then you will die inexplicably.

Therefore, we must find out their bottom line!
