In the city, 45 and M4A1 moved like the wind. The news of the murder of the county lord had gradually begun to ferment. As the sky gradually darkened, the city of Anping began to boil.
"Oh, are you the wife of that...that person?"
Wang Niu looked at the M4A1 in front of him and felt it seemed familiar.
"It's me. Have you built what we want?"
"Okay, okay! Everything is ready. We can assemble it today. However, there are so many pieces of furniture and the truck, so we may have to give it another day."
Silver fell to the ground, and the white silver caught Wang Niu's eyes: "There is no rush for furniture, we need the cart today, money is not a problem, assemble it for me as soon as possible."
"Hey, you're welcome. Okay, I'll take my apprentices to work right away!"
Zhao Pu's body was taken away by the government, and all the people present at the time were controlled by the yamen runners. The investigation of the case requires time, and this period of time is the only time that Jiang Han can use.
"We found out. The man surnamed Cao seems to be a Shanxi merchant or something. He mainly deals in grain and salt. He has a very big business. Two days ago, he just took over a batch of war horses from the government."
45 shook her hands, which still had some blood stains on them. It seemed that she had resorted to some means to get the information.
"Shaxi merchant?"
Jiang Han frowned, chewing the word from the tip of his tongue to the root.
"Shanxi merchants...Shanxi merchants, as I recall, the Shanxi merchants during the Ming Dynasty seemed to be traitors?"
He searched hard in his knowledge base and remembered this piece of information, like a flash of inspiration passing through his mind.
That's right! That's right! He is a traitor! He suddenly received a war horse full of gold from the county magistrate. He must be suspicious of everything and afraid that his secret would be discovered. What he really wanted to get rid of was not me, but the county magistrate! I was just the one who took the blame!
Everything went smoothly. It was like a perfect situation that had me trapped in it. Do I have an identity? No, how did I get into the city? Selling Tartar war horses, where did the county magistrate die? Died in front of my own door.
The logic of all this is crude, but very deadly. I and others cannot withstand investigation. Now that I am involved in a murder case, and what's more, he died at my doorstep, which is like yellow mud sticking to my crotch. It's shit if not shit.
However, you seem to have miscalculated one thing. You should never have chosen me to be the scapegoat!
"Sister 45, M4A1, prepare your things."
"Shall we take action, Commander?"
"Yes, don't we have a dinner party to attend?"
At Cao's residence, the doorman brought news that the city family who had previously delivered the message had requested a meeting and wanted to have dinner with the master.
"Hahahahahaha, you didn't run away, but came to find me instead. That's interesting."
Cao Sheng laughed out loud.
"Erde, do you know what step I should take next?"
"Take him in as a dog?"
Erde was a little unsure.
"No"
Cao Sheng smiled and said: "It is beheading."
(I’ll show you my practice works from the past two days. I feel like I’ve made a lot of progress!)

Volume 19: Chapter Chapter : Dinner with Intrigue
The servant who led Jiang Han and M4A1 in was actually expecting to see Jiang Han's surprise at the furnishings in the courtyard. Although this was a villa, as a branch of the Cao family, this Cao Mansion also had everything, showing the true nature of a big merchant. In the eyes of the servant who led the way, he was just an ordinary person in the city, and he must have never seen such an exquisite mansion garden.
Jiang Han had seen Suzhou gardens before. The ingenuity, the charm, and the luxury that permeated their bones had once shocked him immensely. Although the Cao Mansion before him was quite good, it was still far behind those exquisite gardens that had been preserved to later generations.
It would be better to say that after experiencing the beauty of later buildings, after walking on marble floors, seeing stained glass domes, and facing such an advanced world, this kind of building with stone paving, gray walls, and carved railings and painted buildings actually had little impact on him.
Aren't stone pavements the most standard feature? Should there be hands in a garden? This corridor is average, the shape is not good enough, and the relief windows on both sides are a bit rough. This pool is okay, but why is the greenery in the pool so bad?
Jiang Han's eyes were a little picky. The changes over the past few hundred years were enormous. Perhaps the life of every ordinary person in later generations would be completely unimaginable to the previous generations. This was a mental check, which could be simply described in four words: the pattern was too small.
After twists and turns, they finally arrived at the courtyard where Cao Sheng was. There, Cao Sheng was waiting for them with a smile on his face.
"Hahahahahaha, I heard the magpie calling early this morning, and was wondering what good news was going to happen today. Only after receiving the messages from you two did I realize that friends were coming from afar."
"Your Excellency is too kind. We are honored to receive the invitation from Master Cao. When we came to the Cao Mansion today, we found that it was indeed extraordinary. Master Cao would not change his life even if he were an emperor."
Jiang Han complimented with a smile while trying to please Cao Sheng.
"Ugh"
Cao Sheng waved his hands: "They are just some external things, let's not talk about them."
"I invited you two before mainly to make amends. My evil slave let my dog hurt someone when he was asked to take it for a walk! If you two hadn't intervened in time, a big mistake would have been made. So I wanted to prepare a meal at my home, get to know you two, and make amends for you on behalf of my slave."
"Oh, Master Cao is in a serious condition!"
Jiang Han's tone was horrified, and he quickly bowed and said, "What we did was just what every righteous Ming citizen should do. We really don't deserve such praise. Mr. Cao's actions this time are truly noble and upright, and we are ashamed of ourselves."
"Hahahahahahahaha, Your Excellency is indeed an instant killer. Please!"
Cao Sheng slightly turned sideways and invited the two men into the house.
The food had already been laid out on the table in the house. First there were eight portions of cold dishes, including fish, meat, eggs and shrimp. It was a very sumptuous meal. As soon as they sat down, a maid served the dishes to the two of them, taking only a little of each dish and filling the small wine glasses with fine wine.
"Mr. Cao's house is like a fairy's life. It is completely different from the terrible Anping City. It's like entering a fairy cave! Even the meals are served by maids."
"Hahahahaha, if you like, I'll give you a few! Just ask!"
Cao Sheng waved his hand and seemed to be indifferent.
"Ah, Master Cao, you are too polite, but I am from a poor family and I am used to working in the fields. If I like something, I would like to take it myself so that I can feel at ease."
"Oh? Is that true? You are so young, but you have built up this family business on your own. You should be proud of yourself! Selling war horses is not something that ordinary people can do."
"Master Cao, thank you for your compliment. Everyone knows that your Cao family is as wealthy as a country. All the grain and salt in the entire northern Zhili are sold by you, Master Cao. My little property is not worth mentioning at all."
"It's not that good. Every day when I wake up, thousands of people depend on me for everything, including food, drink, defecation and urination. I have to worry about them. At best, I am just an errand boy for the Cao family, and only one of their legs."
"Even if you're just an errand boy, Master Cao, you're still a big shot!"
"Hahahahaha"
Cao Sheng and Jiang Han looked at each other and laughed, while each of them raised their guard in their hearts. During the previous mutual flattery, both sides had intentionally or unintentionally shown that they knew the other's situation very well. This made Cao Sheng feel for the first time that the opponent in front of him was indeed not simple.
This also made Cao Sheng more determined to kill Jiang Han.
After the cold dishes, it was time for the hot dishes. All kinds of delicacies from wild animals, chicken, duck, fish and meat came one after another, which made Jiang Han's eyes tear up. This was the most similar meal to the ones in small restaurants in later generations that he had eaten since the end of the Ming Dynasty, except that there was no chili pepper.
Jiang Han fully demonstrated his nature as a country bumpkin and praised every dish. However, he soon ate a dish that surprised him.
"Is this... potatoes?"
"Oh? Brother Jiang, you actually recognize this! Yes, this is a peculiar vegetable imported from overseas. It is only grown in many vegetable farmers in Beijing. After research, my chef found that this vegetable can be used to stew beef, and the flavor is quite good. Brother Jiang, you can try it."
After Cao Sheng introduced it, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh, I forgot that Brother Jiang is from the capital. He must have seen this thing before. I am sorry for being so presumptuous."
Jiang Han was still immersed in surprise. It was really a case of looking for something without any effort. He had been searching for potatoes in Anping City for half a month but couldn't find any news. Finally, he saw them when he came to this tycoon's house for a meal. As expected, this kind of landlord should be robbed. Who knows how many good things he has!
"Brother Jiang?"
Seeing that Jiang Han was silent, Cao Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, hey, I'm just sighing that the world is full of wonders. Master Cao, your house really has all the rare treasures in the world. It is a blessing for the Cao family to have a big shot like you, Master Cao."
"Hahahaha, brother, you are too kind, but my leg is broken."
"Broken? How did it break?"
"Brother, you know that I am in the grain business. To transport large amounts of grain, we need a convoy to escort it. But you know that the world is full of troubled people and bandits. My grain has been robbed eight out of ten times."
"Is this true? What should I do?"
"So, I came to see Brother Jiang this time to make an unwelcome request."
"Brother Cao, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Your legs are my legs, and your legs are my life. But if you give me an order, I will do it without hesitation!"
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
The two held their hands tightly.
"I am deeply moved by your loyalty, brother."
As he spoke, Cao Sheng took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and quietly wiped his hands under the table.
"Brother, just tell me what's going on."
Jiang Han clasped his fists slightly and quietly wiped his hands twice with the tablecloth.
"I heard that you are a master of martial arts, and even the Tartar cavalry are no match for you?"
"Oh, not worth mentioning."
Jiang Han seemed extremely disdainful.
"So, I would like to ask you to be the leader of my grain team's guards and help me escort a batch of grain to the capital. Don't worry, as your elder brother, I will never treat you unfairly in terms of compensation!"
Jiang Han understood immediately that this old man hadn't been holding back. He said nice things and asked you to be a guard for the grain team, but he was afraid that as soon as he left the city, a group of robbers would come from nowhere and kill everyone and steal all the grain. Then he, the scapegoat, would be eliminated. When the news got out, the grain price in the capital would double again, making him a lot of money.
"Brother, this is where you are wrong!"
Jiang Han looked dissatisfied.
"Oh? Brother, are you dissatisfied?"
Cao Sheng was a little confused.
"How can we talk about money when it comes to our brotherly relationship? When you said that today, I only have your legs in my mind! The thighs of the heroic and brave chivalrous! Brother, you don't need to say anything! I'll take this job! I will definitely help you transport the things and connect your legs!"
"Brother!"
Cao Sheng's eyes were filled with tears, and his heart was boiling with murderous intent. Who would not want money? Now the feud between the two sides was almost exposed. You don't want a penny, do you want my life?
"Brother!"
Jiang Han was sincere and had a stronger desire to kill this old man. It was not enough for you to frame me, but you even wanted to kill me all. If I can't kill you today, I will take your surname!
"My brother is so chivalrous, I can't just stand there and show some appreciation as his brother! Someone come!"
"Brother, you are too polite! We are brothers, why bother with this? Let's do it!"
Almost in an instant, a group of servants with knives rushed into the hall outside the door, and then they were faced with the black barrel of the M4A1.
There was a loud sound of gunfire inside Cao's mansion.
Today's first update] Q skirt 68 7
Volume 20: Chapter Chapter : Respectability
The moment Cao Sheng called out, he retreated quickly and prepared to escape. People like him usually wouldn't put themselves in danger, but at this moment he really couldn't hold it back any longer.
In Cao Sheng's opinion, no matter how strong your kung fu is or how ruthless you are, even if you can beat ten people, in such a small space, I have twenty people and each of them can hack you to death with a sword.
It's not like he hasn't seen so-called martial arts masters before, Erde is one of them. Otherwise, how could such a stupid follower follow him?
Erde has been practicing martial arts since he was young, and he has been practicing the long fist since he was a boy. Ten or so people cannot get close to him. But if you put him in a small space with twenty or so people, all of whom are carrying knives, he will die on the spot.
No matter how many people are fighting, it is the result of a combination of positioning and boxing. If you pull and fight at the same time, and make sure the number of your enemies is within the range that can be quickly dealt with, it will be easy to deal with them. But if a group of people rush forward, two fists can't beat four hands. How many knives can you block with all your skills?
Their idea was perfect. No matter how great your ability was, once you entered this hall, you would be unable to escape. But they did not think of one thing.
That's adults, times have changed.
The M4A1 carbine uses pointed rifle bullets, which are different from the round-head bullets used in police firearms. It focuses on rapid stopping and aims to make the criminal lose his current ability to move with one shot. This type of bullet aims to quickly penetrate armor and kill. With one shot, as long as the criminal is not hit in the limbs, it can be basically said that he has gone far away.
And these bullets are fired continuously.
Therefore, every person who was shot was hit by not just one, but at least two or three bullets at the moment of being shot. With such damage, anyone would be killed immediately.
Jiang Han found that he had made another mistake.
Before the action, as he and his companions were going to kill people and burn things, and they were also in the city, for secret considerations, Jiang Han had the M4A1 gun equipped with a silencer, and the same went for the 45.
He thought that with the silencer on, the sound would be like in the game movies, with very tiny puffs.
But he was wrong. The silencer only weakened the thunder-like sound of the gunfire to the upper threshold that the human ear could accept. It could not directly eliminate the sound on a large scale, unless subsonic bullets with low charge were used.
The sound of a gun is very loud, especially at close range. If you don't wear protective earmuffs, your ears will be temporarily deafened by the intense gunfire. After installing a silencer, you will not be shocked by the huge sound, but that sound is like a dull collision of plastic and metal, which is still quite startling.
