Chapter 21 Manhunt (page 12)
"Captain Aping, there have been a total of eight registration points in the past two days. Almost all the people in the city have been registered. A total of nearly two thousand street children have been taken in. There are only a few noble mansions. After we have a thorough investigation of the whole city, After the situation, he had already escaped when he rushed there!" Mina said sadly, holding a thick piece of information.
"Don't worry! Those rats can't escape. We'll go door to door tomorrow to get ID certificates! Sister Lia will probably be here in two days! We must handle this matter cleanly!" A Ping said calmly. !
"Yes! Captain!"
The next day, a large army of knights began to knock on the door. At first, the people thought they had received food yesterday, but today they started to come looking for trouble! Finally, they mustered up the courage to open the door, and saw a man in white clothes who claimed to be a priest. He handed them a shimmering card and told them to keep it safe. They would need it when going out of the city in the future. If you have a card, otherwise you can only apply for a temporary ID card!
But don’t panic too much if you lose it. Just take someone at home who also has an ID card to get a replacement! After saying this, the priests hurried to their next home! Leaving the common people standing at the door in a daze!
As the clergy carried out a census of the whole city, the dark forces that had been hiding in the darkness for oppressing the people were forced to be exposed to the sun. At first, they wanted to use cheap lies to deceive the clergy, but Under the detection of lies by priests and the fists of paladin, they all confessed!
The people around him gathered around excitedly when they saw the bad guys who had bullied them in the past being arrested one after another, throwing rotten eggs and stones to vent their anger!
At this time, the priests did not forget to loudly publicize, telling them that as long as they know that such bad people are there, they can go to the City Lord's Mansion in the city and report boldly. As long as the report is confirmed, the City Lord's Mansion will give generous rewards!
"Damn it! This is leaving no way for us to survive!" Caesar fiercely patted the tattered mahogany stool under the table!
"Quick, follow me to General Ironwood before they get to this slum!" Caesar said and ordered his loyal servants to carry the simple frame and rush to where Ironwood lived! In the past, he traveled in a four-wheeled carriage, but now he could only rely on people to carry him, and it was still a shabby wooden frame. With every bump, Caesar felt like his whole body was about to fall apart!
After finally arriving at the destination, he was helped to the door by a servant. Caesar knocked on the door with his old hands like dead wood!
dong dong!
"come in!"
"What should General Ironwood do now!" Caesar quickly opened the door and saw that seven or eight nobles who had also received the news were already in the room!
"Master Caesar, don't panic! Aren't we discussing countermeasures right now!" Tiemu still looked calm and calm!
Seeing Tiemu's calm look, Caesar, who was a little flustered, finally calmed down!
"Everyone, let's talk about what to do!" Tie Mu gently knocked on the table a few times and said in a deep voice!
At this time, the nobles gathered here frowned and looked like they were deep in thought!
After a while, a noble with a Chinese character stood up and said, "Why don't we force our way out of the city at night? Then everyone can use their own abilities and try to escape if they can!"
The other nobles were shocked when they heard this. They were going to fight to the death!
The noble with pointed ears and monkey cheeks immediately slapped the table angrily, "Yamada, do you think I don't know that your family still enshrines two wandering ninjas! Are you asking everyone to fight for their lives so that they can escape!"
"Yup!"
"That's right, this is too selfish!"
Other nobles also criticized one after another!
Yamada shrugged slightly and said helplessly, "Otherwise, what do you say!"
The nobles who were still angry suddenly became silent.
Tiemu looked at the nobles who were suddenly silent again, and continued to tap the table with his fingers calmly!
With the long silence, the nobles present became more and more impatient! At this time, Tiemu slammed the table, suppressed the agitated nobles, and said loudly, "Okay, since there is no other way, just do what Yamada said!" After speaking, he quietly turned to Caesar who had been silent next to him. A wink!
Caesar and Ironwood looked at each other, and immediately nodded slightly in understanding!
What else do other nobles want to say?
Tiemu arrived immediately, "It's useless to talk now! Everyone, go back and get ready! We will gather here as soon as it gets dark and set off!"
After hearing Tiemu's decision as if seeing off a guest, the nobles had no choice but to make preparations!
After everyone left, Tiemu sat quietly on a chair, holding the few remaining cigars in his hand, smoking one after another. As the fire burned, a strong smell of tobacco filled the room.
Tiemu was not as calm as he appeared, and he was also in a very depressed mood at this time! Relying on the stimulation of tobacco to relieve the pressure, Tiemu slumped comfortably on the chair! After brewing for a moment, there was a knock on the door, "dong dong!"
"Come in! Father-in-law." Temuqiang cheered up and sat up.
"squeak!"
"Ironwood, what did you mean just now!" Caesar, who was returning home, was so anxious that he was suddenly choked by the strong smell of smoke in the room and coughed!
"Father-in-law, are you okay!" Tiemu quickly put out the cigarette in his hand!
"Why are you smoking again? Didn't I tell you to smoke less! Didn't the beauty pay attention to you recently!" Caesar was so angry!
"No, no, I'm hiding this from her!" Tiemu waved his hand quickly!
"Okay! After all, women can't control men. What on earth did you have to tell me alone just now!" Caesar took a deep breath and sat on the chair next to him and asked.
"Father-in-law, let's surrender!"
"What are you talking about, Tiemu, you are crazy!" Caesar suddenly jumped up and accused him!
"Father-in-law, calm down! Do you think we can really get out of the city with those idiots!" Ironwood pressed heavily on Caesar's weak shoulders!
"But you still have hundreds of warriors on hand, plus the wandering ninjas enshrined by the Yamada family, it's not like we don't have the ability to win!" Caesar, who was forced down by Tiemu, said coldly!
"Haha, that's because you haven't seen the strength of that group of rebels. I was more than two hundred people back then! I suffered heavy losses in one encounter! That's more than a thousand well-trained warriors! What do you think of Yamada's two wandering ninjas? How can I kill hundreds of my men in just one encounter!" Tiemu asked feebly!
"Then we can't surrender! You have to know that according to their requirements, once we surrender, there will be nothing! We may not even be able to save our lives!" Caesar cried!
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I have already thought about it. Aren't those nobles coming to our place to gather tonight? Then I will arrange for my men to ambush and capture them all! Then I will offer them to the new adults in the city!" Tiemu squinted his eyes and pinched his beard gently!
Caesar looked at Tiemu in astonishment, "Is this possible? You know, Yamada has two ninjas, and there are many servants of other nobles!"
"Haha! Don't worry, father-in-law! As powerful as the two wandering ninjas are, they can only be taken down by a few warriors, and the other slaves are nothing to worry about!"
Seeing Tiemu's confident look, Caesar thought for a while and nodded slightly. After all, at this point, he still understood that a dead Taoist friend would not die a poor Taoist!
