Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 131 Bordeaux Situation ([-])

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

The summer night in the suburbs of Bordeaux is breezy and refreshing. Except for the annoying mosquitoes, everything seems so quiet and comfortable.Mo Ming, Sun Heiqi, Bi Lasi, Lu Qi, Kojiro and Shinzaemon were all armed, and they quietly touched the spot that Sun Heiqi had determined during the day.

This is a typical French farm. The houses made of red bricks look quite solid. No wonder these Scotsmen regard this as their old den.The farm consists of bedrooms, kitchens, warehouses and other rooms, and there is a well in front of it.The farm is surrounded by a lush vineyard, and it is this vineyard that greatly shields Mo Ming and others from approaching.

I really don't know what these Scots think about, don't they know how to choose a place with a wide view and an open place?Mo Ming couldn't help complaining.

The light was still on in the farm bedroom, and the door was open.A man's rude voice and a woman's wanton laughter came from inside, Mo Ming smiled, it seemed that he was still performing a show inside.Such a lack of vigilance, he doesn't even close the door, I really don't know how to evaluate these Scotsmen.Is this careless, or is it careless, or is it careless? !

Mo Ming made a gesture, and Sun Heiqi understood it.He took off a small hand-thrown bomb from his waist, carefully inspected the fuse, and put it back on his waist. Then he picked up a tinder pot to see if the tinder inside was extinguished; after checking both, he Finally, he took out two 1633 flintlock pistols from his arms, and began to check the charge and safety device.

Behind him were the silent Kojiro and Shinzaemon, both of whom were also carrying two loaded pistols and a sharp katana.

The few people have been acting together for a long time, and they have a good understanding with each other. Many times, they only need a gesture or a look to understand each other's meaning.Sun Heiqimao rushed towards the door with a low waist, followed by Kojiro and Shinzaemon; Mo Ming, with a pistol in his hand, formed a second echelon with Lu Qi and Bi Lasi, and followed rushed up.

A Scotsman at the door was sitting and drinking alone while the cool night breeze was blowing. Suddenly he heard a burst of footsteps coming from the door. Just as he was about to ask aloud, he saw a black shadow suddenly jumping in front of him.

"Bang!" Accompanied by the explosion of the 1633 flintlock pistol, a dazzling gun flame flashed in the darkness, and the Scot at the door fell to the ground without a sound.

After finishing shooting, Sun Heiqi did not stop, threw away the fired flintlock pistol, took out a simple hand-throwing bomb and tinder pot wrapped in a thin iron sheet from his waist, lit the fuse, and walked quickly towards the side that was making a loud noise. The bedroom, where the Scot was clearly having a good time.

"Kang Dang!" Sun Heiqi slammed open the door that was not closed tightly, and then threw the bomb in the hand that was "chi chi" with sparks in the astonished eyes of everyone in the room, and then quickly exited the room. outside.

"Boom!" Almost every second counted, and there was a dull explosion more than a second after the bomb was thrown in. Scattered steel nails and broken iron pieces wreaked havoc in the room, and screams rang out one after another.

Immediately after the hand-throwing bomb exploded, Kojiro and Shinzaemon had already passed Sun Heiqi first and rushed into the house. They both had a loaded flintlock pistol in each hand and a samurai sword at their waists.

"Bang! Bang!" The two pistols in Shinzaemon's hand fired successively, killing two Scotsmen who were not seriously injured and who were about to take up arms to fight back.The power of this simple hand-throwing bomb is really limited, and it can only play a killing and creating chaos effect. Therefore, almost none of the Scots in the room were killed by the bomb on the spot, and the most serious one was only bleeding.

Kojiro also quickly finished firing his pistol, killing a Scot who was crawling towards the weapon and a screaming woman.After the shooting, the two quickly drew out the shiny katanas at their waists, and together with Sun Heiqi who entered the room again holding a flintlock pistol, they instantly controlled the situation in the room.

Mo Ming and the other three entered the room a few seconds later than them.At this time, the situation in the room was settled. Three Scotsmen and a suspected dancer were shot dead by pistols and fell to the ground bleeding all over the place. There were three Scotsmen and two dancers left alive.

One of the three Scotsmen was not seriously injured. The bomb seemed to explode at a very close distance, and many fragments or steel were embedded in his body. It is really hard to say whether he can survive.The other two were not seriously injured. They were being held around their necks by the samurai swords of Kojiro and Shinzaemon, and they dared not move.

The two dancers seemed terrified. They curled up by the wall, sobbing silently, while Sun Heiqi forced them with a gun.

Bi Lasi and Lu Qi stood in the corner holding two pistols each. Mo Ming looked around the room, then frowned and said, "Why is there an extra man? Detective Sun, who is the one who is following you?" ?”

"It's dead, it's the corpse closest to you." Sun Heiqi stared at the front and said.

Mo Ming took two steps in the room, and then said to the Scots in the room in English: "Give you two minutes to think, if anyone feels that he has information that interests me, then he may be able to Survive. I'm not kidding, start the clock now."

"I have something to say..." a wounded Scot on the ground whispered with his lips.

"Shut up, Lester! Don't you see they're teasing us? They're from the East Coast! We're all going to... ah..." the other snarled.

Shinzaemon tapped the guy on the back with the back of his sword, and the severe pain interrupted his next words.

"Is it Leicester?" Mo Ming still stood where he was, and said to the middle-aged Scottish man who looked a bit embarrassed on the ground with a blank expression: "Now you can say, if your news is enough to satisfy me, Then I think you can live."

"Hugo committed a crime in Marseille when he was young. He and his wife conspired to seduce and kill a baron who traveled here. And the son of the baron..." Lester said, initially It's difficult, but the more you speak, the more fluent you become.

"Shut up! Lester! You devil! You will go to hell!" The "Scotman" under the control of Shinzaemon suddenly became agitated, and he began to yell at Lester.

"It seems that you are Mr. Hugo." Mo Ming looked at the gray-haired guy, and suddenly smiled, "You really are a man with a story. Bi Lasi, tell him to shut up , I'll interrogate him later!"

Bi Lasi picked up a piece of hemp rope, tied Hugo tightly, and stuffed a rag into his mouth.Under the dual threats of muskets and sabers, Hugo did not dare to resist.

"Okay, you can continue talking now." Mo Ming turned around, looked at Lester and said.

Lester licked his lips and continued: "Okay, sir. The baron's son has inherited the title, and he is now running a large fortune in Toulouse and Languedoc in Haut-Gallon, with unparalleled influence. He even married the niece of a close minister of the king in the north. If you people on the east coast want to expand your business to the rich Toulouse, Languedoc or even Provence, you can go around this, but this very powerful man Lord Baron."

"Get to the point!" Mo Ming looked at Lester coldly, "What is the connection between that Baron and this Mr. Hugo?"

"After the death of the old baron, the murderer has never been found. And this little baron has been looking for the murderer of his father for many years, and has widely announced that not only will he be rewarded with two hundred francs for catching the murderer or providing conclusive clues , and get his own friendship. I think it will be of some help to you."

"Perhaps. Then, why haven't you reported this Mr. Hugo all these years?"

Lester murmured silently.Mo Ming looked at him and knew that this kid was probably a scumbag and a habitual offender with many cases. Maybe he was responsible for that incident back then, but he didn't intend to pursue it.

"Okay, there is one last question. How to make this Mr. Hugo obedient?" Mo Ming asked.

"He has a daughter who lives in the country at La Rochelle..."

"Woooooo..." Hugo, who had been squatting on the ground, struggled violently at this moment. Shinzaemon and Bi Lasi worked hard together to forcefully hold this guy down.

Mo Ming walked up to Hugo who was tied up like a zongzi, and the corner of his mouth raised a dangerous arc. He looked into Hugo's eyes and said, "How old are you this year? It's almost fifty? You must love him very much." Your daughter, does your daughter know that you are a murderer?"

Hugo stared at Mo Ming without saying a word.

"Let Mr. Hugo talk." Mo Ming ordered.Hearing this, Bi Lasi took out the rag from Hugo's mouth.

"Leave Laura alone! I know what I should do!" Hugo looked into Mo Ming's eyes and said slowly.

"What a great fatherly love." Mo Ming said with a smile, "I like dealing with smart people the most. I remember that one of Ludwig's personal servants was also named Hugo, and he was about the same age as you. Lester, Is it him?"

"Yes, sir. After Hugo fled from Marseille to Bordeaux, he met Ludwig who was a small businessman at the time, and then assisted him in starting a textile business. In the process, he helped Ludwig Unknowingly, I have killed many competitors. Many times... many times, I was asked to take action." Lester said.

"Then, I think that Mr. Ludwig was also involved in the murder of the baron, right, Hugo?" Mo Ming rolled his eyes and decided to direct the basin of dirty water to Ludwig. .

"Yes...he was involved. He was in urgent need of a cash flow for his business, so he conspired with me to murder Baron Reyer." Under Mo Ming's dangerous gaze, Hugo said with difficulty.
