Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Thank you! 416, you are such a great helper to me! Without you, I really don't know what I would do."

Jiang Han grabbed 416's hands with gratitude on his face.

"Ah... this, you can't do without me, saying something like that..."

416's face turned red, and as he looked at Jiang Han's big hands, his mind began to drift.

"Hmm? 416 doesn't like me saying this? Then I will try to control myself in the future."

"Ah, tell me, it's not impossible to tell me..."

"Well, Commander, if I help you, is there any reward? I don't want you to kiss me or anything like that, it's mainly to distinguish between rewards and punishments, yes, that's it."

416 lowered his head, drawing circles on the ground with the tip of his shoes, and excused himself while looking forward to Jiang Han's next move. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response. When he looked up, he saw that Jiang Han was already lying on the table again, making a new plan.

"Commander! I hate you for being a piece of wood!"

At this moment, it was a dark and windy night, a time of murder and arson. The new moon was hanging high in the sky, and dark clouds blocked most of the moonlight. It was time for the patrol team in the city to change shifts. After seeing off the sop who was going to another mission location, the Sanming humanoids began to perform their own mission.

LTLX walked in the front, with the two large alloy shields beside him closing towards the front, revealing a small shooting hole in the middle. The two people behind him stood on both sides of LTLX, one shoulder away, forming a standard indoor CQB booth. The three of them pulled down the binocular night vision goggles on their heads, and everything in front of them was no longer dim black, but turned into bright green. The originally pitch-black night was now clear.

"Now the action begins. Let's start and overturn this table completely."

Volume 169: Chapter Chapter : Humanoid Raid

Even at midnight, the homes of these wealthy families still had servants patrolling, servants busying around, and maids waiting on the side. These maids had to serve beside the master. If the master got phlegm stuck in his throat during sleep, they had to go up and suck it out for him. If the master had to get up at night, they had to serve him with a chamber pot. What? You want the master to collect it himself?

Then don't do it. There are plenty of people who want to do this job. If you are disliked by the master, you can only do dirty and tiring work like cleaning toilets, without any rest and living a miserable life with only a few copper coins.

The servants were not lucky enough to have close contact with their masters. All they had to face was the daily mundane life. But for the general public, this was another kind of happiness.

"It's really cold today"

Night sentry duty is very tiring. The silence and cold wind are a double test for people, both psychologically and physically. When the physical state cannot be changed, it is very important to find a person to comfort you psychologically. However, as a servant, if you chatter too loudly and the master finds you, then the future you have to face may not be so bleak.

So in the middle of the night, the servants would chat quietly, trying to keep their voices as low as possible without making any noise.

"It's so cold today... I don't know when it will warm up."

"I am more concerned about what happened in the city. I heard that all the soldiers in the garrison have been dispatched."

"Why are you worrying about this? What does the fighting of those soldiers have to do with us? You'd better think about how to curry favor with the manager so that we don't have to work the night shift. This job is really not a job for humans."

"You're right. Damn it. I don't know how Zhao Laosan's grandson got so lucky that he could become a captain..."

The servant looked at the moon and exhaled a puff of white air from his mouth. Suddenly, he seemed to hear some faint footsteps in his ears.

"Two people in front of the left, standing at six and eleven o'clock."

A dagger made a crisp buzzing sound in the air and then pierced directly into his throat, strangling his doubtful words in his chest.

His hands instinctively covered his throat, but when he tried to speak, his throat was flooded with blood. No matter how hard he breathed, his lungs could not receive a single drop of oxygen. The feeling of suffocation was gradually overwhelmed him.

"Huh...Huh"

He wanted to warn his companions, but all he could utter was a ragged sound.

, his body fell backwards and fell into a cold embrace.

A hand covered his eyes, and the blade in his throat was stirring rapidly. What awaited him was death from suffocation.

"What's wrong? What's the noise?"

His companion heard his strange noise and turned back to check, but suddenly he felt a huge force on his neck, covering his mouth and nose. It was as if a giant python was wrapped around his neck and tightening continuously. The dull sound of broken cervical vertebrae was perfectly isolated by the arms and cloth. After the two men completely lost their breath, they were gently thrown to the ground.

LTLX raised one hand with the palm facing upwards, then cut it horizontally forward to indicate moving forward. The two returned to their original occupying positions and continued to move forward.

Lord Li, the Provincial Councilor, who was sleeping in his dream, was meeting with Duke Zhou at this moment. In his dream, he saw himself second only to the emperor, pleading for the people and stepping on the emperor under his feet. This was his most comfortable dream, but this dream was soon ruined.

The door was suddenly kicked open, and the maid who was in charge of guarding Lord Li's daily life was about to scream when she was hit on the jaw and passed out.

"Why not hit the neck? Isn't it said that hitting that place is more effective?"

"What if it's interrupted? I don't know how much force she can withstand."

"Right"

Lord Li's sweet dream was disturbed by the loud noise and he was very dissatisfied. He woke up in a rage and just opened his eyes when he saw three people walking towards him, talking to themselves.

"Who are you? I am the governor of Yangzhou. Do you know how to barge in without permission? Wuwuwuwu..."

Lord Li originally wanted to scare the other party away with his righteous words and integrity, but the other party didn't even let him finish his sentence. He found a piece of cloth from somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth.

His eyes were wide open, but a black hood was directly covered on his head. He wanted to resist, but he was like a fish on a chopping board in the other party's hands. He was pressed on the bed with a slight flip, and his hands were folded behind his back. A thin rope was tied between his two thumbs. With a slight pull, all the strength in his body flowed away like water. He knew that he was finished.

"Target captured, taken away"

Lord Li didn't know how long he had been walking. He was like a rag doll, being carried around in twists and turns, and then thrown into a box. When he was pulled to a place again, knelt on the ground, and the black hood was taken off, the sudden bright light made his eyes squint uncomfortably, and he slowly opened them after a while of adapting.

This was a rather simple hall. Although it was large, it was not decorated. But what amazed Lord Li was that around him, there were actually a group of ministers who were kneeling like him and held important positions in Yangzhou City.

"This is... County Magistrate Zhang, and Judge Wang, and the commander! The heads of the major families in Liancheng and the heads of the salt merchants are all here..."

The ministers who were called turned around and saw their acquaintances. If all of them were here, wouldn't that mean that the entire Yangzhou officialdom and upper class had been caught clean! ?

Lord Li raised his head and saw Jiang Han sitting in the main seat, blowing air slowly into his teacup.

"I'm getting old, and I can't stay up late any more. I can't stay in an Internet cafe all night like I used to, and I still have to drink tea to get through it."

As he spoke, he took a sip, and all the features on his face were squeezed together: "It's so bitter, tsk"

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I'm sure many of you have heard of me, but this is the first time I've seen me in person. I'm the owner of the Jiang Family Farm, Jiang Han and Jiang Muzhi. Yes, the one who rebelled these past two days."

Looking at the confused looks of these adults, Jiang Han smiled gently: "Ah, that's right, you probably haven't communicated with each other yet, but it doesn't matter, I invited all the superiors here this time just to hold a meeting, to exchange information and have a good discussion, so, I hope everyone can speak up and dare to express their opinions. I am a very democratic person."

"So, who's going to be first?"

Jiang Han put down the teacup. There was a humming sound in front of him. Jiang Han slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory. I forgot that everyone still brought their chews."

Volume 170: Chapter Chapter : Be serious, we are kidnapping!

“It is said that only after a person loses his freedom can he truly know himself.”

Under the candlelight, Jiang Han, who was sitting in the main seat, began to act like a dramatic character. He deliberately lowered his voice to create a low and bubbly feeling, but the effect was not perfect.

"I was wondering, how well do you know yourselves, Mr. Assistant?"

A rag stuffed in Chen Maotai's mouth was taken out. This thing was taken by the humanoids after entering the room. No one knew whether it was used to wipe feet, wash face or wipe the table. In short, they all completed their missions very well.

Chen Maotai, who had finally regained his ability to speak, was extremely angry at the moment. He had no intention of listening to the nonsense of the person in front of him: "Who are you? Do you know that I am the commander of Yangzhou? You kidnapped me, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the court?"

"That's right! You are so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime?"

"Even if I kill all ten of your clans it won't be enough!"

After Chen Maotai spoke, these officials who were also hostages did not realize their current situation at all and echoed his words one after another.

"Everyone, please be quiet..."

Jiang Han tried to control the situation, but to little avail. "You know that if you kidnap me, it won't be long before the Jinyiwei will bring the government troops to arrest you, and you and your followers will..."

"I said, be quiet!"

The teacup drew a sharp arc in the air and hit Chen Maotai's forehead, who was still punching madly. The hard skull collided with the teacup, and the boiling hot tea met the dry skin.

Snapped!

The crisp sound of shattering and Chen Maotai's screams instantly silenced the officials who were chattering like the seagulls in Finding Nemo.

They realized that their previous perception that the person in front of them was a very reasonable person seemed a bit wrong.

"I'm sorry, I don't like noisy environments, and I lost my composure for a moment. I still really want our meeting to proceed normally in a harmonious bilateral atmosphere."

"Okay, let's get started..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Chen Maotai's screams interrupted Jiang Han's brewing emotions. Jiang Han glanced at the deputy magistrate who was rolling on the ground and ignored him.

“Let’s get started…”

"How dare you hit me with a teacup! And it's a blue and white porcelain teacup!!!"

"let us"

"Ah!!!! This tea is still the tender tips of Longjing tea before the rain, and you actually use the head to soak water and drink the tea like this!!! You are a country bumpkin who wastes the natural resources, a country bumpkin who chews on a peony like a cow"

"........"

Jiang Han took two deep breaths to control the emotions surging in his chest. Finally, he opened his eyes and spoke kindly and gently: "Fork out!"

The dolls standing by acting as security and atmosphere group received Jiang Han's order, and quickly stepped forward and hung Chen Maotai in the air like a chicken, then turned around and gradually floated away with Chen Maotai's continuous wailing.

"Okay, then, with all the annoying off-field factors out of the way, let's get down to business."

"We have nothing to discuss!"

"You are just a bunch of bandits! You want to negotiate with us? Bah! You are dreaming!"

"Bamboo can be burned but its joints cannot be destroyed, jade can be broken but its whiteness cannot be changed, even though a person dies, the master behind him has forgotten!"

"This name can be recorded in bamboo and silk."

"Hey? Lord Li, you also watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

"Humph, I've already seen Wuzhangyuan!"

"Ah! Then Lord Li, you must be more considerate of your grief. Wuzhangyuan is..."

"Shut up! Shameless old thief! Stop spoiling the plot!"

Jiang Han rubbed his brows painfully, thinking that these Ming Dynasty officials must have some serious illness. Now you are tied up here by me, facing a serious threat to your lives, not only do you not have any sense of crisis, but you are still talking here?

Seriously! We are kidnapping!

"Since everyone is so energetic, it will be easy to handle. I want to make a deal with you. The content of the deal is that you go back and open the gates of Yangzhou City, so that Yangzhou City can dare to change the sun and the moon to a new sky..."

"Impossible! You're just dreaming!"

"That's right! We are the ones who receive your salary, how can we discuss with the thieves? Forget about it!"

Jiang Han's expression remained unchanged: "The price of the transaction is your life and the lives of your entire family."

After Jiang Han said this, all the officials in the room who were trying to make their minds clear were stunned for a moment, and the conference hall welcomed the long-lost peace, as if these ministers realized at this moment that the young man in front of them, who seemed to be easy to talk to, was actually a desperate madman who held their names and the names of their families in his hands.

It’s the one where the scholar meets the soldier.

If the enemy could catch him from his house overnight like a chicken, what about his family? Would they also be in his hands?

"Well, is this a good deal?"

Jiang Han's expression at this moment really looked like that of a standard villain in a film or TV drama, the kind who would paint his face with white paint, point a knife at you, and ask you why you're so serious.

"bluff!"

A loud and powerful shout broke the deadlock.

"Although we were kidnapped here by you, your power is definitely not all-powerful. It's just that you took advantage of the lack of defense in our family. Although I am just a scholar, my hearing is not bad. I heard clearly along the way. There are only three people escorting me. How can such a small number of people threaten my family? I'm afraid that you, a lunatic, are playing tricks here to scare us. Otherwise, why didn't you catch Lord Qian, who was the criminal investigator?"

A little old man in the corner righteously exposed Jiang Han's conspiracy, and his brilliant reasoning made the wanderers around him nod their heads.

"Indeed, indeed. I see that Lord Han is not here either."

"Yes, yes, that's right, I thought so too, but Master Ma said what I was thinking in advance."

"As expected, haha, you villain, you have nothing to say, right? You are not going to tell me now that you brought them here too, right? This is full of loopholes."

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and they felt they were fine again.

Listening to these people's complaints, Jiang Han's expression was actually a bit complicated. Those people, Lord Han, Lord Qian and so on, were naturally also on the mission target, but because the reports he collected showed that these people were the worst of the worst with pus on their feet and sores on their heads, so, he sent dogs to their mansions.

As for what happened to these people after the dog entered their yard, Jiang Han could only say that they actually came to the party, but not all of them, only a small number of them.

Volume 171: Chapter Chapter : Taking Yangzhou

"This is...Mr. Qian's...chin."

"This is Lord Li's heel!"

Looking at the fragments in front of them, the sharp-eyed officials quickly recognized their colleagues.

Jiang Han looked at the group of people with a bit of surprise. You can recognize this? Can you recognize who is who just by looking at the chin? Also, how did you recognize that heel?
