The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Suzhou is adjacent to Taihu Lake, which is big enough to hide many salt owls.

These people lick blood from their swords and are negligent in their dealings. They have always been more flexible than the officers and soldiers on Taihu Lake.

Many Taihu Pirates are famous.

Zhao Chuanxin was just surprised when he heard this and said: "We are leaving too. Since we are getting on the bus so quickly, I may be able to catch up with the excitement if I take you there, and you can tie the last knot on the rope that binds Jin Kunxiu." .”

After hearing this, the patrolman smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao."

What made him excited was not to "tie knots", but because he had never ridden in a foreign car and wanted to try something new.

The Rolls-Royce Silver Phantom was actually not spacious in either the front or back seats. When Zhao Yixian saw the patrolman squeezing into the back row with him, his face became even longer.

Zhao Chuanxin started it several times before igniting it. The weather was really cold in the morning.

Seeing that his apprentice's hands were turning blue from the cold, Zhao Chuanxin controlled the steering wheel with one hand and handed the apprentice a small metal box: "This contains badger seed oil. Apply some on your hands and face, otherwise you may get frostbite or chapped."

Zhao Yixian in the back row said with a shy face: "Zhao Shenxian, my face has been cracked for a long time, can it be smoothed out? I have always heard that the badger seed oil outside the customs has miraculous effects."

Zhao Chuanxin waited for Benjamin Goldberg to wipe some of it and then took it back: "I still hope that this disciple of mine will provide for me until the end of my life. You, the youngest, have a toothache, so don't waste it."

Zhao Yixian: "..."

The patrol officer behind me was surprised and said: "The younger one is almost thirty, but Mr. Zhao looks younger than the younger one."

Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "Really? That's great. You are getting closer and closer to thirty, but I am getting farther and farther away from thirty."

Patrolman: "..."

Zhao Yixian had always been curious about Zhao Chuanxin's age. He looked like he was only in his twenties. His beard made him look more mature, but there were no wrinkles on his face. But he also found that what Zhao Chuanxian did was not to be invaded by cold or heat. No matter when he got up early or when he was sleepy, his face would not be deformed or chapped by the cold. Zhao Chuanxin was definitely not only twenty years old, but he didn't believe that Zhao Chuanxin was from the Tang Dynasty.

Only this morning, Zhao Chuanxin's complexion was a little pale, and he didn't know if he didn't sleep well last night.

Along the way, the patrolman was talking about Jin Kunxiu and Abao.

This pair of male and female thieves are not only highly skilled and bold, but also the male is elegant and well-groomed, while the female's eyebrows are lightly swept and her makeup is light and even, and they both have a good skin.

The patrolman said: "Jin Kunxiu was arrested once before and sentenced to death. On the occasion of the execution, Abao gathered dozens of Taihu thieves in disguise and came to the execution ground. They beat the soldiers guarding the field to pieces and led Jin Kunxiu to glory. And left. This time, the governor got wind of the situation and ordered that he be caught and executed on the spot. In my opinion, Jin Kunxiu cannot escape."

He spoke with great joy, but Zhao Chuanxin only said a faint "Oh".

In the north, this is called Tuanzi.

There is no one who does not kill people.

In the mountains around Lugang Town, all the gangsters have been wiped out by Zhao Chuanxin, and there is no soil for them to survive.

He has no interest at all in the Taihu Pirates.

The patrolman seemed to be aware of Zhao Chuanxin's indifference, and added: "Actually, Kunxiu and Abao have already taken care of the anti-smuggling operations on Taihu Lake. Usually, when they see each other, they turn away and never meet on a narrow road. Ah Bao never hurts anyone, these people only sell salt and don’t do anything harmful to nature.”

Zhao Chuanxin's gaze was just not so sharp.

After the car drove for a while, Zhao Chuanxin saw a gold shop on the side of the road, so he parked the car next to the shop and said, "Wait for me for a while and go see if there is anything I can find."

The patrolman was very clever: "I'm going with you. I don't know how I can help."

Entering the gold shop, Zhao Chuanxin asked directly: "Brother, do you have solder, hammers and other tools for making gold and silver jewelry?"

Seeing that he wasn't here to buy jewelry, the clerk held up his sleeves and huddled his neck and smiled: "Yes, I have them, but I won't sell them."

Zhao Chuanxin was too lazy to talk nonsense and winked at the patrolman.

The patrolman showed his identity card: "You guy, don't bring trouble to the shopkeeper."

The clerk's oily face suddenly became sincere: "That can't be done, it's just a little solder. Our shop's solder is known far and wide for the fact that the welding joints don't get green or rusty..."

Solder is actually not complicated, it's nothing more than gold, silver, copper, tin, lead and borax. Only those who have been immersed in precious metals for many years can feel the good and bad details of the ratio.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "If you don't put copper in it, won't there be no green rust?"

The waiter said he was an outsider and smiled awkwardly after hearing this.

Although the reason is simple, at this time, the simpler things are, the more mysterious they need to be packaged. Just like when the Internet was not developed, the method of dipping candied haws on a stick would charge you five thousand yuan.

"Stop talking nonsense and get me some good solder."

"Okay, just wait."

After taking out all kinds of tools, the waiter didn't dare to open his mouth, so he casually asked for some money and gave up.

Zhao Chuanxin carried his things and entered the secret realm as soon as he left the house.

At this time, there was a noise not far away.

People have a keen sense of smell. Wherever there is excitement, it will spread quickly. Sometimes the speed is faster than a car, which is amazing.

The patrolman caught a middle-aged man trotting forward: "What are you in a hurry for?"

The middle-aged man recognized his patrol attire and hurriedly replied: "Go back to the police, I heard that Jin Kunxiu went to Jinchang to play, and the policeman discovered his identity and was caught. I went to join in the fun."

The patrolman glanced at Zhao Chuanxin, who raised his chin and said, "Go ahead, we are leaving now."

The patrolman cupped his fists and saluted: "Mr. Zhao, just say goodbye."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded and got in the car.

"Master, let me drive. I have already seen this road well." Benjamin Goldberg said happily.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that many people on the street were running to join in the fun, but the place was empty, so he said, "That's okay, you give it a try."

Benjamin Goldberg's IQ is indeed online. Just relying on observation and without Zhao Chuanxin's guidance, he sat in the driver's seat and methodically picked up the neutral gear and then started.

Press the clutch, put it into gear, slowly release the clutch, and the car will move forward slowly.

Zhao Yixian looked at him with envy from behind.

only……

Five minutes later, Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the front and asked, "Benjamin, what kind of car do you see in front of you?"

Benjamin Goldberg excitedly controlled the steering wheel: "Master, it's a rickshaw."

"The two-wheeled rickshaws are faster than you, so you might as well get off and push them."

Benjamin Goldberg: “…”

He gradually accelerated from first gear to third gear.

When we reached an intersection, there were many pedestrians in front of us, so we braked again, but the car was suppressed and the fire was extinguished.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't say anything, just watching his operations.

To be Zhao Chuanxin's disciple, one must have the mental quality to remain calm even if the mountain collapses.

Benjamin Goldberg started, chirped, and put out the car. Start, chime, put out the fire...

"Good guy, my breakfast almost made you shake. This is happier than any rocking car I have ever ridden." Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "I can't start in third gear. If you want to start in third gear now, why not I call you master."

Benjamin Goldberg: “…”

He scratched his head, smiled shyly, shifted to first gear, and then started.

As we were walking, a group of people in front of us stood on tiptoe and looked at something, blocking the way.

Benjamin Goldberg asked: "Master, when will I stop?"

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the front and said, "Did you see that idiot with his chest exposed in the cold weather? If we hit him, we'll stop the car."

Benjamin Goldberg: “…”

Zhao Yixian, who was in the back seat, was secretly amused: Only his master can cure this foreign brat!

The car stopped on the side of the road. Zhao Chuanxin opened the car door and looked out and shouted: "That guy, the one with his chest exposed. Is the road your family drives? What do you mean by standing in the middle of the road?"

This man was obviously a land hooligan, with a savage face. He pointed at Zhao Chuanxin from afar and said arrogantly: "The road is opened by my family. Come hit grandpa if you have the guts!"

Zhao Chuanxin opened the car door and said, "Okay, I will satisfy your strange request."

When Zhao Chuanxin got out of the car, the man was a little dumbfounded.

He is only 1.7 meters tall, while Zhao Chuanxin is 1.86 meters tall.

Man: "..."

You really can't tell from sitting in the car.

Zhao Chuanxin put his hand in the sleeve of his cotton robe and walked over with a smile.

The man swallowed: "What do you want to do?"

"Seeing that you are ready to die, you will be beaten today." Zhao Chuanxin quickly raised his leg and kicked over.

The man flew upside down, knocking the person in front of him upside down.

Zhao Chuanxin scolded him righteously: "Whether you have the quality or the skills, you are standing here and affecting me from driving a Rolls-Royce with one hand!"

People: "..."

…

It is said that since Jin Kunxiu was arrested last time, his wife Abao persuaded him to keep a low profile.

After not following the boat for a long time, his cheekbones regenerated, he stopped practicing martial arts, and his complexion gradually turned white.

Yesterday, Abao said that he would go to Suzhou first, and then transfer to Dongting Lake to do some business.

Before leaving, Abao asked Jin Kunxiu to stay at the base camp to look after the house.

Jin Kunxiu promised well, but as soon as A Bao left, he had the idea of ​​​​going ashore to Suzhou to have some fun, drink tea, and listen to books. Wouldn't it be nice?

It's not far anyway, so it doesn't matter.

When Jin Kunxiu entered the city, he was discovered.

The patrolmen winked at each other, and while they sent people to follow him secretly, they also sent people to appoint the whole squad, took knives and iron rulers, and prepared to capture the real owner.

This is a great achievement.

When Jin Kunxiu arrived at Xuanmiao Temple, the policemen appeared: "Kunxiu, something happened to you, please hurry up and arrest him."

A group of people surrounded him.

Jin Kunxiu came here just for fun this time. He didn't bring his men with him. Because he was going into the city, he was even more unarmed.

Jin Kunxiu is not an unknown person. He studied under Fan Gaotou, the leader of Qinglong Mountain.

Fan Gaotou also joined the Qing Gang. Before Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin became famous, Fan Gaotou's reputation was already powerful.

He was nicknamed Fan Gaotou because he had a large tumor on his head that looked like a small head.

Jin Kunxiu also practices martial arts.

It's just that he neglected to practice, and after marrying A Bao, A Bao became the person in charge of martial arts, and Jin Kunxiu's skills were not as good as before.

He was hit by two iron rulers and raised his arms to resist. He only felt the pain in his arms. He sacrificed his life and got in between the two patrolmen.

He ran this way, with the patrolmen chasing after him.

Walking through the streets and alleys, shouting and screaming, it was so lively.

It was so noisy that the people near Jin Chang knew the news and ran over to catch up and watch the fun.

Not long after, Jin Kunxiu was caught by the patrol.

A group of patrolmen caught the salt owl Jin Kunxiu. They couldn't help but feel proud, boasted about it and showed off to the public while escorting him back to the county office.

As usual, while being sent to prison, he went to report to He Degang, the prefect of Suzhou.

When He Degang heard this, he asked his surroundings: "Isn't this Jin Kunxiu the same private salt dealer who was caught and robbed before execution last time?"

Nodding left and right: "Exactly."

He Degang hurriedly said: "Please quickly request a military order to behead him in Taohuawu today. We can't let him run away again."

After all, there are lessons learned.

On the other side, Abao led people to hire people in Suzhou, hoping to expand the "private salt business" in Hunan.

However, we found that the police patrols in Suzhou City had become much more intensive.

She heard that this was because Zhao Chuanxin arrived in Suzhou City.

Of course, the prefect He Gangde did not want to arrest Zhao Chuanxin or anything. I just heard that Zhao Chuanxin had a bad temper, especially towards foreigners. The patrols need to go to the streets to warn foreigners and local ghosts and monsters not to cause trouble, in case Zhao Chuanxin is provoked. , it can’t be said that it is another bloody storm.

Abao was originally cautious when sneaking into Suzhou, but the arrival of Zhao Chuanxin broke her schedule and delayed her for a day in Suzhou City.

Today, when I was trying to find a way out of the city, I received a report from my subordinates that Jin Kunxiu had been captured during a patrol in the city.

Abao couldn't help being shocked. While asking his men to go to the base camp to gather people, he went to find out the news himself.

She went directly to the county office, stayed there, and secretly caught an official who usually wrote informally, and asked him about his situation.

The governor didn't even have an editor, so he couldn't risk his life, so he immediately told A Bao that Jin Kunxiu would be executed in Taohuawu today.

Abao was so anxious that he couldn't wait to gather his troops and directly ambush Jin Kunxiu on the way to escort him.

She only knew that Jin Kunxiu would be executed today, but she did not know the specific time.

Before Jin Kunxiu, there was another prisoner escorted to the execution ground.

Abao mistakenly thought it was Jin Kunxiu, and a fight broke out on the spot with the county guard who was escorting the prisoner.

That's why it attracted a group of people to stop and watch.

The people here were watching the excitement, but someone behind them was beaten.

Zhao Chuanxin shouted at everyone to give way.

But compared to Zhao Chuanxin and his Rolls-Royce, the excitement in front was more important. These people rolled their eyes and turned their heads to continue watching the excitement.

Zhao Chuanxin got angry and stepped forward, pushing him from left to right: "You really have no quality, please be more careful."

Seeing how arrogant he was, the people reluctantly got out of the way.

Those with a bigger temper would glare at Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin: "What the hell are you looking at? If I stare at you again, I'll pluck out your eyeballs and stamp them on you."

Three times, five times and two times, a road is opened.

But in front of him, he saw a beautiful woman with a little baby fat on her face, two thick black braids, and light makeup, holding two swords and fighting with a group of patrolmen.

Huh?

In the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Chuanxin really rarely saw beautiful women.

On the one hand, the forehead after trimming is too eye-catching, on the other hand, the clothes are ugly, on the other hand, many women have bound feet, and finally, it may be due to malnutrition. Anyway, it is rare to see beautiful women.

But the country of Middle-earth has a vast territory and a large population, so it is impossible not to have beautiful women.

Miao Cuihua was beautiful, and so was the woman in front of her.

Zhao Chuanxin wanted to leave quickly, but at this moment he couldn't help but rub his chin and watch the excitement together with the people...
