Chapter 626: Once and for all
It only took two minutes from the shooting of Count Suleiman to the disappearance of Wu Liang from the corner of the street, and the officers and soldiers of the city defense who had been peaceful for a long time had just straightened out the chaos in front of the headquarters building, and sent Count Suleiman, who had lost signs of life, to the infirmary on the second floor and began useless first aid.
Not to mention finding out the gunman who dared to assassinate the highest person in charge of the city defense army in front of the gate of the city defense army headquarters, the city defense soldiers who lacked command and were in chaos on the streets did not even find the location where the gunman fired, and the highest official position present was just an assistant leader, (like the brother-in-law's official position, he can manage ten ten-person squads, and the official position is equivalent to a centurion!) Having never encountered such a difficult situation, he had to use the clumsy method of letting the vast majority of the soldiers occupy all the surrounding high points first, while the remaining two squads immediately blocked the street entrance and controlled all pedestrians on the street to enter and exit.
Although the response was reasonable, the reaction time was too slow, and by the time the soldiers who had just woken up from a dream controlled the few pedestrians who had not had time to escape from the street, and the time had passed almost five minutes since the shooting, Wu Liangdu had already steadily escaped close to a kilometer.
Wu Liang, who was sure that Count Suleiman had no chance of surviving, became very relaxed, and after escaping two blocks, he slowed down, and looked into the window of the shop on the street while playing with the cane in his hand, and did not forget to stop and go into the store to shop when he encountered something of interest, as if nothing had happened.
When he reappeared, Wu Liang already had a few more kraft paper bags full of various small bits and pieces, which were full of locally produced sweets and pastries, and when he looked up at the sky, he turned his head and rushed to the grain store yesterday to meet the coachman Red.
When I arrived at the grain store, it was only 9:45, the coachman Red had not yet arrived, and the news of the assassination of the top person in charge of the city defense army had not yet spread, and the owner of the grain store who had only met yesterday was directing two young men to transport the bags of goods ordered by Wu Liang to the door and stack them neatly and wait for the convenience of loading.
For this kind of guy who wants to have a relationship with him and get close to him after just meeting him, Wu Liang has always been insensitive, and after a few casual words, he put the brown paper bag he brought on the stall, rolled up his sleeves and began to check the quality of grain and seasonings bag by bag.
Seeing that the method didn't work, the slightly chubby boss didn't care, after all, it was very common for a few nobles to appear in a country with an extremely obvious hierarchy in the Goya Kingdom who didn't like to talk to the commoners, and it was already very good to give a too ugly face, so the chubby boss had a lot of vision and chose to shut up, standing behind Wu Liang and checking his own goods with him.
After confirming that there was no problem with the quality of the goods, Wu Liang immediately settled all the 3.38 million payments with the chubby grain store owner, and the coachman Red, who was holding the halter, also ran over in a hurry with a small burden at this time, and as soon as they met, he couldn't help but apologize to Wu Liang: "Mr. Wu, I'm really sorry, I was stopped by the city defense army on the street corner just now, and even my people and the carriage were checked twice before letting me come, you must be in a hurry!" Don't worry, I'll call the guys to load the car right away, and I won't delay the time to get back to the village! ”
"Red, you guys can admit it when you oversleep, and you can't make up lies. How could those slackers in our outer city defense army take the initiative to come out to check, there have been no major activities recently, and the bare board truck that you can see at a glance has been checked twice, isn't it a joke? The chubby grain store owner obviously had a good relationship with Red, and he brought two of his buddies to make fun of Red.
In front of Wu Liang, Red, who was said to be lazy and came to find a bad excuse, was blushing at that time, and argued: "What I said is true, I heard that a big man in the headquarters of the city defense army was assassinated, and the soldiers in the two surrounding neighborhoods have been under martial law and are searching from house to house!" Although the shopping street hasn't started yet, it should be soon, I said dead fat man, if you have anything valuable at home, hide it quickly, otherwise you will be touched by that group of Qiu Ba, but there is no place to reason! ”
"I'm good! If you can still be assassinated in the headquarters of the city defense army, then this killer is really good! Knowing that the honest man Red would not joke about this kind of big thing, the fat boss had a straight face, and beckoned his two guys to help Wu Liang load the goods as soon as possible, and he apologized to Wu Liang and hurriedly ran upstairs.
The two grain store men and the three of them were loaded as fast as they could, and then Red drove to the north gate where he had entered the city yesterday.
With the news of the assassination of Count Suleiman, the supreme leader of the city guard, spread, the atmosphere at the gate of the north city has become completely different from yesterday, not only are there three times as many soldiers guarding on both sides of the city gate, but also several black holes above the city gate have been pushed out of the gun emplacement, and they are just above everyone's heads, so that the passers-by don't even dare to take a breath of air, for fear of showing abnormality and being captured by the city guard soldiers who are developing in the direction of mad dogs.
The two thousand baili tax was not counted, the carriage and the goods were carefully searched twice, and even the grain in the bags was opened one by one by the soldiers of the city defense army and poked with long knives, with a much higher degree of seriousness than when they entered the city.
The carriage was checked, and this person couldn't run, the two squad leaders were personally responsible for searching the pedestrians, Wu Liang, who was wearing a tuxedo, was a little better, just patted it on his body and passed the test, as a coachman, Red was much more miserable, all the pockets were taken out and looked at carefully, not to mention, the whole body was carefully touched, even the vital parts were not spared, and I don't know if the team leader who was responsible for checking Red had a problem with his hobbies, and he actually touched a middle-aged man for so long, It's really unappetizing.
After being inspected for more than half an hour, Wu Liang and Red, who had been tossed around, were finally released, and the two of them quickly jumped into the carriage and drove away without looking back, really not wanting to be touched by a man to do an inspection anymore.
