Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 45 Zhen Family
  The 'Qingfeng Sword' in Jia Qiang's hand moved. The strong man at the head did not see the movement trajectory of the 'Qingfeng Sword' clearly. He only felt the long knife in his hand lighten, and then the strong man's wrist hurt, and the long knife could not help but move. release.

The two strong men in the rear almost instinctively attacked Jia Qiang with their swords.

The 'Qingfeng Sword' was swung left and right, and silently, two long knives of relatively good quality were separated.

The 'Qingfeng Sword' then swept the hands of the two strong men. Jia Qiang stepped closer to the three strong men. The 'Qingfeng Sword' in her hand did not stop because she had grasped the situation of the battle.

The 'Qingfeng Sword' swept through the limbs of the three strong men in succession, picking out all their tendons and hamstrings, even the three seriously injured strong men on the ground.

His speed was so fast that he completed everything in almost three breaths of time.

Suddenly, he turned around and blocked the 'Qingfeng Sword' in his hand.

With a "boom", the short musket in Zhen Yingcheng's hand fired at Jia Qiang.

What Zhen Yingcheng just took out from the carriage was a short-fire gun. It was a short-fire gun that was ready to be fired at any time. It was a tool for self-defense.

After discovering Jia Qiang's amazing strength, Zhen Yingcheng thought of the short fire gun.

If Zhen Yingcheng was a martial arts practitioner, maybe Jia Qiang would really fall for it.

But Zhen Yingcheng was just an ordinary person. Even if he had a short fire blunderbuss in his hand, the time between aiming the gun and pulling the trigger was enough for Jia Qiang to react.

Although Jia Qiang's back was turned to Zhen Yingcheng, his 30 points of energy were not for show. When Zhen Yingcheng's short fire blunderbuss was pointed at him, he sensed danger.

Looking back, he saw the short fire blunderbuss in Zhen Yingcheng's hand.

He immediately thought of a way to deal with it. The 'Qingfeng Sword' in his hand did not use much force, but he wanted to block the iron bullets fired by the short fire gun.

The 'Spiritual War Technique [Elementary]' took effect, and the 'Qingfeng Sword' moved strangely, blocking the iron bullet.

The iron bullet hit the 'Qingfeng Sword', and the sword spine of the 'Qingfeng Sword' bounced off his body.

This is the way Jia Qiang had thought about using the 'Spiritual Warfare [Elementary]' method before, but at that time she was thinking of dealing with hidden weapons, not short-fire blunderbuss.

Theoretically, any hidden weapon he can see can be blocked using this method.

Not only long swords, but also large guns, standard knives, etc. can achieve the same effect.

Zhen Yingcheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Jia Qiang could block the short-fire gun at such a close distance.

This short fire gun is not an ordinary thing, but a treasure obtained from overseas. It is more powerful and more convenient than Daqian's firearms.

Jia Qiang blocked the attack of the short fire gun. He exerted force under his feet and a small pit appeared on the ground.

At a speed of 21 meters per second, he appeared next to Zhen Yingcheng like a ghost. Before Zhen Yingcheng could wake up from the shock, the 'Qingfeng Sword' was pressed against his throat.

"I am the third master of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, and my mother is the old concubine Zhen!" Zhen Yingcheng spoke very quickly and said loudly.

Jia Qiang hesitated for a moment, he knew that Mrs. Zhen was very close to the Supreme Emperor.

It is precisely because of the existence of Mrs. Zhen that the Zhen family can run rampant in Jiangnan.

If this was not an official affair, he could have killed all six strong men including Zhen Yingcheng.

But he can't. Everything that happens here is being watched by people from far away from the official road.

Jia Qiang reached out and took away the short fire gun from Zhen Yingcheng's hand. He took a look at the short fire gun. He didn't know what kind of metal it was made of, and it had two barrels.

This short-fire gun also has two firing systems, which means that this short-fire gun can fire twice in a row.

Zhen Yingcheng was too inexperienced, otherwise Jia Qiang would have to block another iron bullet.

"The assassination of Lord Daqian by the Jiangnan Zhen family will bring the lawsuit to the palace, and the Jiangnan Zhen family will not be able to stop it!" Jia Qiang said coldly.

When Zhen Yingcheng saw that Jia Qiang did not kill him immediately, he knew that his intentional announcement of his identity just now had an effect.

He announced his identity loudly, not to tell Jia Qiang, but so that people far away in the official road could hear.

As long as he knew that an outsider had learned his identity, Jia Qiang would not dare to kill him on the spot.

But he never expected that Jia Qiang would claim to be Lord Daqian and an official of the imperial court. If this was true, he would be in big trouble.

"May I ask who your honor is?" Since there was a sword tip in front of his throat, Zhen Yingcheng did not dare to make any move and could only ask aloud. "My name is Jia Qiang!" Jia Qiang replied in a deep voice.

"Jia Qiang, are you the Second Master Qiang of the Ningguo Mansion? Our Zhen family and the Jia family are close relatives. We don't recognize each other as one family?!" When Zhen Yingcheng heard Jia Qiang's official position and name, he first thought of Jia Qiang. A member of the Jia family, he said quickly.

Zhen Yingcheng had heard of Jia Qiang's name. Even though Jia Qiang was a little transparent, the Zhen family had a very close relationship with the Jia family, and they knew all the young masters and ladies in the Jia family.

Zhen Yingcheng felt much more at ease, and could now escape.

As for Jia Qiang saying that she was Lord Daqian, he thought it was referring to the title of the Jia family, and did not expect that Jia Qiang herself had a title.

"I have left the Ningguo Mansion and cannot be called the Second Master Qiang. People from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division are coming!" Jia Qiang said in a deep voice.

If there is no chance to kill Zhen Yingcheng, then go through a normal lawsuit.

Zhen Yingcheng's robbery and attempted murder were watched by so many people in the official circles, and it was impossible to hide it.

Besides, he is not without foundation. Even with his status as a supervisor of the Imperial College, the soldiers and horses of the five cities would not dare to make arbitrary decisions.

In the capital, the most troublesome thing is not the families of officials, but the supervisors of the Imperial College.

Behind the Jiansheng, the Imperial College has nearly a thousand passionate students. Once trouble breaks out, no yamen can withstand it.

As long as the Imperial College is in control, the consequences of opposing the Imperial College are likely to be disgrace and imprisonment.

Not to mention that Jia Qiang still has a title and official position. As he said, assassinating Lord Daqian is a serious crime.

The Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division came very quickly. Such a big thing happened here, causing road congestion, and it was not far from the city gate, so it was very fast.

"Who is making trouble here?" Deputy Commander Zhang, wearing a seventh-grade military attache's robe and riding a horse, arrived with ten soldiers and asked loudly.

This is called taking the initiative, calming both parties involved and preparing for the subsequent cross-examination.

Deputy Commander Zhang saw both sides. One of them was holding a long sword, and the young man wearing a short sword looked like a knight from the capital or a young man from some family.

The other person was wearing a brocade robe. With his eyesight, he could tell that the material used in the brocade robe was extremely expensive, so even though Zhen Yingcheng couldn't see anything on it, he still didn't dare to look down on it.

"Jia Qiang, a student of the Imperial College, met a gangster on the road who wanted to steal a horse and kill someone. He had no choice but to fight back and captured the main culprit!" Jia Qiang took the 'Qingfeng Sword' back to her waist and replied with cupped fists.

Deputy Commander Zhang couldn't help but feel dizzy when he heard about the prison guard.

"I am Zhen Yingcheng of the Jiangnan Zhen family, and this is just a misunderstanding!" Zhen Yingcheng followed hurriedly.

Another Jiangnan Zhen family member came out, and Deputy Commander Zhang’s head was even bigger.

He is only the deputy commander of the East City Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities. He is a small military attaché of the seventh rank. How can he deal with such a big trouble as the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

Although this is the case, the formalities cannot be omitted at all.

The soldiers checked the situation of the six injured strong men, found people on official roads to record their testimonies, and recorded their names, addresses, etc.

"Master Jia, please come with me back to the Military and Horse Division to leave a record!" Deputy Commander Zhang said to Jia Qiang, then turned to Zhen Yingcheng and said: "I'm sorry, I need to shackle Master Zhen and we go back to the Military and Horse Division together." .”

The reason for such different treatment is that Jia Qiang is the plaintiff and Zhen Yingcheng is the defendant. He also got the testimony taken back by the soldiers.

This kind of forced buying and selling is actually not a big deal. As long as it is done quickly, even if Jia Qiang has a background, it will only cause the Zhen family to lose face.

But when someone is robbing someone on the street and trying to kill someone, it's a big deal, especially if a firearm is used.

Firearms are a matter under strict control. Zhen Yingcheng is the third master of the Zhen family in Jiangnan, but he has no official official position.

Jia Qiang rode on the white horse, and Deputy Commander Zhang also gave Zhen Yingcheng the face to sit in the carriage and be escorted back to the Army and Horse Division by the soldiers.

The six strong men suffered a terrible fate. They were thrown onto a cart and were pulled by two soldiers.

They will not be treated until they return to the Bingma Division.

In fact, Deputy Commander Zhang could clearly see that the six strong men had been completely crippled, and it would be useless even if they called in a miracle doctor now.
