Chapter 809: Fugitive Slaves
On the streets of Tianjin, from time to time, there are people talking about what is happening on the docks. There are not many people who have seen the battleships that cover the sea.
A lot of people went to the dock to watch, and what happened here will be their talk in the future. Quick-witted vendors will carry their burdens and sell in the crowd, and business will be much better than usual.
On the contrary, the streets of Tianjin are not as crowded as they are on weekdays. Although the streets are deserted, they are not as crowded as usual.
In a secluded alley, a dozen people are chasing. Running in front was a family of three, and the middle-aged man pushed away the mother and daughter in front of him and said, "You go first, I'll stop them for a while!" ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and blocked in front of the dozen people who were chasing, and the middle-aged woman glanced at her husband, pulled her crying daughter and continued to run forward.
The middle-aged man rushed to the person who was chasing in front, and without looking at the wooden stick that hit him, he bent down and hit it with his shoulder.
The person chasing ahead didn't expect the middle-aged man to be so desperate, and he was hit by the middle-aged man. His chest suffocated for a while, and he took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground.
The middle-aged man knocked over one person and didn't stop, reaching out and grabbing another person passing by. The man was pulled and stumbled to the ground, but when the man fell, he also pulled the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man who was pulled hit the body of the other person, and both of them rolled to the ground at the same time.
The fall of several of them slowed down the pursuers behind them, and a sharp voice shouted, "Rubbish! You're all rubbish! was blocked by Jiang Yong alone, if you can't catch Xiao Ling'er today, I will ask you! ”
When the few people who were stopped heard this voice, they all crossed Jiang Yong and chased forward. The few people who tripped over Jiang Yong got up and beckoned Jiang Yong with wooden sticks.
Jiang Yong curled up in a ball, covered his head with both hands, and let the wooden sticks rain on his body. But Jiang Yong gritted his teeth and said nothing, he was afraid that if he screamed, his wife and daughter would give up and run away to check.
Although Jiang Yong used himself to delay a little time, the remaining men gradually caught up. How could the mother and daughter duo with vegetables on their faces be the opponents of a group of strong men, and when they ran out of the alley, they had already been caught up by each other.
The mother glanced back at the pursuers who were close at hand, and pushed her daughter out of the alley with all her strength. Now she can only hope that there are a large number of people on the street, and the people behind her have some scruples.
At the same time as the daughter was launched, the wooden stick also fell on her head. The mother took a step forward and fell to the ground, the blow was so heavy that the mother fainted immediately.
Jiang Ling'er, who was already about to run out, was pushed by her mother, and she stumbled involuntarily. As she rushed out of the alley, she was confronted by a carriage.
The carriage was not slow under the drive of four tall horses, and the person driving the carriage saw a figure rushing out of the alley, and subconsciously tightened the reins, and at the same time tightened the wrench around him.
The horses pulling the cart neighed and stopped. The carriage took a few more steps forward and stopped in front of the girl.
The girl had just been chased, and now she was frightened again, and she fell to the ground for a long time and could not get up.
At this time, more than a dozen people ran out of the alley one after another, each of them holding a wooden stick, and one of them grabbed his hair and dragged out a middle-aged woman.
An arrogant voice sounded: "Are you running?" Run another one to show the young master? Ha ha!! Take! Immediately, a man stepped forward to arrest the girl who had fainted with fright.
There were still a few pedestrians on the street who saw this scene and planned to stop and watch. One of the men glared at him and roared, "Command Chen's family to hunt down the fugitive slaves, and then watch and arrest you all as fugitive slaves!" ”
The people around him were yelled at by this man, and they immediately scattered. The three words of the commander are in Tianjin, and when I hear it, I am the commander of the envoy to hunt down the fugitive slaves, where is there anyone who dares to meddle in things.
The man walked to the front of the carriage, did not look at the carriage at all, and reached out to grab the girl's hair. Dragging the girl's hair and walking into the alley, but at this moment the girl woke up.
"Help! Help me! Who's going to save me! ......" Some hoarse voices sounded in the streets, and none of the passers-by dared to say anything, and all of them unconsciously twisted their heads to the side.
"Husband! She's so pathetic! Let's save her! A crisp and pleasant voice sounded from the carriage, and everyone under the carriage was stunned.
Before anyone could answer, a young man in his twenties walked out of the group of more than a dozen people. came to the girl's side and slapped the man on the head: "Gentle! Do you understand how to be gentle with women? How do you play with a flowery face? ”
The person who was beaten was a little wronged, and his heart said: Wasn't we all like this before? But he didn't dare to resist, so he could only let go of his hand.
The girl was let go and ran to the carriage to her knees, "Please, just us!" Have mercy! Jiang Ling'er's yard is a cow and a horse to repay your great kindness! ”
"Hey!" A sigh came from inside the car, and said, "Tie Niu asks what's going on?" ”
"Yes!" The strong man who was driving the carriage said yes and jumped out of the carriage. He glared at the girl fiercely, if it wasn't for the carriage built on Jeju Island, and the brake was installed, he would have to kill this girl today.
"My lord asked you what was going on? Why did you arrest this girl? "The strong man is tall, a head taller than the dozen men.
Standing in front of a group of people was full of oppression, and the voice of the voice was humming, especially the faint terrifying momentum on the body.
These men involuntarily weakened by three points in their momentum, and they all looked at the young people.
The young man didn't pay attention to the strong man who got out of the car at all, and stretched out his hand to pull the strong man aside. But he stretched out his hand and pushed, but the strong man did not move.
The unwilling young man put his hand hard, and then pushed it a few times. As a result, he seemed to be pushed against a wall, and with his little arms and legs, there was nothing he could do.
The young man had a real plan to bypass the strong man, but he hadn't gotten around yet, and the strong man stood in front of him flexibly. The young man tried several times, but he was unsuccessful, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
However, his gaze at the carriage was a little greedy, and he thought for a while before he spoke: "In Chencheng, Weiqianhu, Tianjin, today's arrest of fugitive slaves has disturbed Madame, please forgive Madame!" ”
"I'm not a fugitive! None of our family are fugitives! He's talking nonsense, please ask the lord and the lady to save the little girl! ......," the girl hurriedly defended when she heard the young man's words.
"Fugitives? Interesting! Does Daming still have slaves? I'm so lonely! The voice in the car sounded, but it was not the female voice just now, but a hearty voice.
