Chapter 22 "Let's do it!"

Suzhou Mansion is one of the largest mansions in Ming Dynasty.

The prosperity and grand occasion in the city, even compared with Yingtian Mansion, is not far behind.

Even though it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, the hawkers in the city were still shouting, and the crowds on the avenue were still turbulent.

Miao Tianbing, who was wearing a strong suit, was walking on the streets of Nancheng with a sheathed waist knife in one hand.

Although he was walking on the street with a murder weapon, the passers-by, whether they were scholars, small farmers, or wealthy households surrounded by a bunch of servants, paid no attention to the waist knife in his hand.

Didn’t you see a team of government servants carrying the 25-year-old flintlock guns on the street, and they are constantly scanning the pedestrians on the street with wide eyes!
Anyone who dared to do something violent in public in public would have to be shot before the knife was drawn.

Daming can't help cold weapons.

After all, in the daily life of the people of Ming Dynasty, there are still many dangerous things. The eldest son of the Mu family was killed by desperadoes!
After all, this world is still an era that has not fully entered the modern society, and the risk factor of life is still quite high.

People still need a minimum self-protection ability.

Some wealthy families will also maintain a lot of nursing homes with knives, and businessmen will also ask people from the escort company to help escort the goods.

Even ordinary small farmers, because they are in the countryside, often go to the mountains to hunt, and sometimes encounter wild boars and tigers going down the mountains to look for food. Every household also has knives, bows and arrows.

Therefore, the number of folk cold weapons in Ming Dynasty is still very high.

However, hot weapons are strictly prohibited from being owned by ordinary people.

And it is strictly forbidden for the common people to use weapons in public places in the city.

Especially on the street, once someone draws a knife, even if he does not show any intention to attack, he will be regarded as a "threatening" object by the high-intensity patrolling the street, and he will be subdued on the spot.

If you encounter a government servant with a bad temper, he may give you a gun directly, and you will have nowhere to complain if you are beaten to death.

In the city of Daming, the safety of the people is still very guaranteed. Even if they often pass by passers-by with cold weapons in the city, everyone is not worried at all that someone will violently hurt others.

These are the hundreds of "justifiable self-defense" cases handled by the Yamen servants of the Ming Dynasty every year, which brings a sense of security to the people!
And Miao Tianbing didn't intend to commit murder in the street, he just went out to shop, bought some food and went back to satisfy his uncle and brothers.

Familiar with the road, he came to the most famous Zhao's Grilled Chicken Restaurant on South Street.

This Zhao's grilled chicken is amazing. It is one of the best hundred-year-old shops in Suzhou. The shop has passed down the skill of grilled chicken, and this generation of shopkeepers is already the fifth generation.

Their grilled chicken is tender but slightly chewy, and the marinade is delicious. The more you eat, the more fragrant it becomes, even the bones are full of fragrance.

It is said that it has its own unique secret recipe in it, and in order to keep it secret, it has been passed on from male to female, and it has not been leaked after five generations.

Ever since Miao Tianbing ate Zhao's grilled chicken once, he has been completely conquered by this kind of food. He must eat it once a week to calm the gluttons in his stomach.

"Boss, here are four fragrant boneless grilled chickens! Pack them up and take them away!" Miao Tianbing shouted impatiently as soon as he entered the store.

"okay!"

The guy in charge of picking up the guests was also very fast. With a pair of pliers, he swished out four steaming grilled chickens from the old brine, wrapped them in lotus leaves, and then wrapped them in oiled paper. , took a hemp rope and tied a strong slipknot, and handed it to Miao Tianbing.

Satisfied, he took the four grilled chickens and threw down a piece of silver that weighed about five renminbi. Without giving any change, Miao Tianbing turned around and left the store with the chickens in his hand.

This made the guy very happy, this Zhao's grilled chicken is only [-] yuan for one, and four grilled chickens are only [-] yuan, and he can still get a tip of [-] yuan for nothing!

"Guest officer, go slowly, come again next time!"

Miao Tianbing didn't have time to pay attention to the man's joyful greeting. He carried the grilled chicken and rushed back very quickly.

If it wasn't for not being able to reveal that he knew martial arts, he would have wanted to make Qinggong his way.

Such a fragrant and attractive grilled chicken, if you delay to enjoy it for a second, it will be a torment!

With quick steps, he arrived at a small courtyard with two entrances in Jing Lane, Xicheng District, Suzhou Prefecture, in just a cup of tea.

"Senior brother, senior uncle, the braised chicken has been brought back, quickly take out the altar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and have a good tooth-tasting ceremony today!"

Miao Tianbing hadn't entered the courtyard yet, but the loud voice could be heard by the entire courtyard.

Two middle-aged men also dressed in strong clothes came out with smiles on their faces. One of them took the two grilled chickens from Miao Tianbing's hands, and dragged him into the main room.

"Brother, I have already prepared side dishes and good wine, and I am waiting for the main dish of grilled chicken."

The two took the braised chicken and put it on the table.

The braised chicken wrapped in layers of oiled paper and lotus leaves is still hot, making people salivate.

"Uncle! Uncle! The grilled chicken has been bought!"

Miao Tianbing yelled at the back hall, waiting for the uncle to arrive, everyone can start.

"Bangdang."

The door of the back room was pushed open forcefully.

An old man who was nearly fifty years old, but his long beard and hair were still black and shiny, without a trace of white silk, came out with a serious expression.

"Something's wrong, there are hundreds of people coming towards us from all directions!"

He frowned, and his ears kept twitching, as if he was trying to determine if he was wrong.

Hearing what the old man said, the expressions of Miao Tianbing and the three who were still happy to enjoy the grilled chicken immediately changed drastically.

Later, they also realized something was wrong with hindsight.

People who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, and are much more sensitive to all information from the outside world than ordinary people.

"Not good! This place is exposed!"

The four of them looked at each other nervously, and they had already made a judgment in a blink of an eye!

At least hundreds of people are encircling this place. This is a well-prepared and premeditated attack!
Invincible!

The four kicked their legs and wanted to jump over the wall and flee in all directions, trying to escape one by one, saving their lives and reporting back to the sect.

However, it was too late.

On the four walls of the small courtyard, more than 100 Jinyiwei captains in black clothes climbed up the wall, raised their flintlock guns and aimed at the four Miao Tianbing standing in the courtyard.

The leader is Hua Pingan, a thousand households in Jinyiwei's Suzhou prefecture!

At the entrance of the small courtyard, a pair of giant mechanical palms completely wrapped in metal smashed through the wooden door!

A very tall and burly armored soldier wearing thick steam armor and carrying a cylinder on his back walked in, holding a half-ton heavy hammer, and looked at them with a grinning grin.

The armor on his body is constantly spraying out white mist-like steam, which makes him look like a divine soldier descending into the world.

And outside the outer courtyard, a hundred Tiqi had already surrounded the small courtyard tightly.

It is impossible for anyone to break through this heavy encirclement.

Hua Ping'an looked contemptuously at the four Miao Tianbing in the courtyard who were completely stupefied, and ordered coldly: "My lord has life, try to capture them alive."

"Go ahead!"
