Chapter 40

Zhang Ming couldn't bear to see such a cruel scene happen before his eyes, whether they were robbers or businessmen, they were all his subjects.

So he asked his guards to rescue the businessman.

However, when those local ruffians saw the four guards coming, they didn't panic at all.

Maybe it was due to the large number of people, or maybe it was really hungry.

Soon a dozen robbers started fighting with the four guards.

I saw the sharpness of the sword in the hand of one of the tall guards, and he cut off the weapon of the leader of the other robber at once. Considering that the order he got just now was not to hurt his life, he then chopped at the other's leg, bleeding profusely. Suddenly lost the ability to stand.

The rest of the robbers saw that the boss's ability to fight was abolished by the opponent in two or three times, so they knew that they were not the opponent's opponent, so they turned around quickly and started to escape, but it was not so easy to escape.

As the other three guards raised their knives, the legs of the three robbers were cut and they lost their ability to stand. Seeing this, the other robbers ran away without looking back.

Looking at the methods of these four guards, Zhang Ming couldn't help but be overjoyed. Cui Ming really chose good guards, but he didn't know if these four guards would have the chance to be trained as his personal guards, but this matter has to wait until he goes back.

With the help of Cui Ming, Zhang Ming got out of the sedan chair. In fact, he could have gotten out of the sedan chair by himself. It was just a rich businessman in Chang'an City. The ministers were almost all supported by others to show their noble status. Since Zhang Ming wanted to pretend to be a rich businessman, it was natural. To pretend like a point.

Some of the four robbers were sitting on the ground, some were kneeling on the ground, watching Zhang Ming's arrival.

They really couldn't understand why the rich businessman didn't kill them. From the moment they became robbers, they had already had the awareness of life and death. In the circle of robbers, people would join and die every day.

They were very unlucky, and it was their turn to die today.

Zhang Ming looked at the robber leader and said, "Who are you, why are you robbing this businessman in the street?"

The leader of the robbers didn't even look at Zhang Ming, and hummed, "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you to deal with it. Why are you pretending to be here? We people are not afraid of death long ago."

Zhang Ming glanced at the four again, "How many people are there in your organization?"

One of the robbers said dismissively, "How many people do we have? We have hundreds or thousands of people. If you are afraid, get out quickly, or you will kill Grandpa and me as soon as possible."

Zhang Ming continued to ask, "The government doesn't care about you?"

The robber just now laughed loudly and said, "Government, hahahahahaha, since Dong Zhuo came to Chang'an, the government has been Dong Zhuo's running dog, all kinds of recruiting and taxation, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, I thought we could do well." I have lived, who would have thought that the newly appointed head of the government would continue to impose taxes, if we hadn't resisted with force, we would have been reduced to refugees by now."

Zhang Ming remembered that he didn't know much about this before, so he asked Shang Shuling to arrange a new government office, but he didn't expect that the new government office was no different from the old one.

Looks like the corruption here needs a big overhaul.

Zhang Ming no longer looked at the four robbers, but instead looked at the businessman.

The clothes of this businessman are not too extravagant. It can be seen that he probably has more than ten thousand dollars. In the whole Chang'an, he is probably just a person who runs a small shop.

"I don't know, what is this person's name?"

"Under Li Ping, who runs a noodle shop in Chang'an City, went home today and passed this small road. He didn't expect to be robbed along the road."

Li Ping has faced this kind of robbery more than once, so he specially raised a bodyguard. If he encounters ordinary robbers, he is not afraid. After all, three or two robbers usually dare not rob with bodyguards Damn, I just didn't expect a dozen robbers to appear all of a sudden today.

Zhang Ming continued to ask, "Your family belongs to Chang'an?"

Li Ping could see that this wealthy businessman was not an ordinary person. His behavior and temperament, as well as the abilities of the guards around him, were not like a wealthy businessman, but more like a high-ranking official.

"Yes, my lord, the villain's hometown is in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, and there is an old mother at home. Usually, the villain runs a noodle restaurant in the city. He used to go home every half a month. However, business is difficult now. The people in Chang'an City There are fewer and fewer people than before, so this is the first time to go home this month. Although there were robbers in the past, a bodyguard was enough to deal with them, but who would have thought that there would be so many robbers at once today? Help, the villain will die today."

Zhang Ming said, "Then can you go back now?"

Li Ping said, "I don't dare to go back. If I do it again, the villain will really die. Thank you again for your life-saving grace."

Zhang Ming had nothing to ask, after all, he was just an ordinary businessman who couldn't be in an ordinary business.

"Then you go."

"My lord, farewell"

After the businessman left home, Zhang Ming planned to return to the sedan chair.

He no longer cared about the four robbers.

Continue to embark on the road of inspection.

Sitting on the sedan chair, Zhang Ming lamented the hardships of the world. As for the four robbers, let them fend for themselves. If they are lucky, they will live. If they are unlucky, they will die. Since they are ready to die If you don’t have the consciousness, then let them do what they want.

Zhang Ming has never been a great saint. If the robbers want to kill and steal money, they should have the consciousness of being killed.

It's just that the four robbers looked at the wealthy businessman who left, and cursed, "Your grandpa, why didn't you kill me, grandpa?"

"Help, help, help"

It's just that someone in this secluded place will save them?
Will their allies save them?

Zhang Ming didn't know, and didn't want to know.

What Zhang Ming saw along the way was more than just a robbery. Some were rescued by Zhang Ming, and some robbers had already killed the other party and robbed the property before they got there.

In short, the road is not smooth.

Along the way, Zhang Ming almost never saw children, old people, or even women. Only some young and middle-aged men can walk outside, especially this remote path.

Not far away, Zhang Ming found a big house in front of him. According to his estimation, it covers an area of ​​100 mu. When he saw the door plaque on the house, he realized that it was the Yang family, that is, Yang Biao's family. There are two guards at the gate.

Zhang Ming himself had no intention of going in. After all, he was visiting in private this time, and he didn't intend to let anyone he knew see it. It would save him from being criticized by these ministers when he went to court.

After walking not far, Zhang Ming saw a big house again. This time, it was written as the Chen family. Although the area occupied by the house was smaller than that of the Yang family, the front door was even more luxurious. There were four guards. Even the door plaques are golden.

After passing through those two big mansions, all that remained were small bungalows one by one. Of course, there are differences between small bungalows, but after Zhang Ming got used to the luxurious halls of the palace, in his eyes Here, these small bungalows are all the same dilapidated, there is not much difference.

Soon, Zhang Ming came to the west gate of Chang'an City, where Dong Zhuo's body was hung.
