Brocade legend

Chapter 10 The first show of skill
I saw that strong man, when the middle-aged man just bowed his waist and turned around, he saw that he was going to run away, and couldn't help frowning, but this frown destroyed the simple and honest look on his square face.The raised eyebrows made his face full of fortitude, and it seemed that even the clarity and simplicity in his eyes had been diluted a lot.

The middle-aged man turned around and wanted to squeeze into the crowd, but the strong man had already caught up with one step, and he opened his right hand like a cattail fan to grab the back of the middle-aged man's neck.This step seemed to be taken in a leisurely manner, but in an instant it was several steps away from the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man seemed to feel the gust of wind behind him, he bowed his waist and lowered his head, his left foot moved lightly, his right foot stepped to the right, and he evaded the grab with a sliding step.

Seeing that the grab was useless, the strong man leaned forward and grabbed again, towards the left shoulder of the middle-aged man.The middle-aged man quickly bowed and twisted his waist again according to his feeling, and turned around to face the strong man.

The strong man stepped forward according to the situation and stretched out his left hand to grab again.The middle-aged man also seemed to be surprised by the strong man's skill. He took a step back and his upper body dodged backwards.The strong man also leaned forward and continued to grab.

However, the middle-aged man took advantage of the situation to grab the strong man's left wrist, pulled it sideways, jumped up, and stepped towards the strong man's waist. With the movement of his hands, he pulled the strong man's forward body even more inclined, as if I am about to lose my balance immediately and fall to the ground!
The brawny man reacted fairly alertly, he hurriedly took a lunge and stabilized his lower body.However, the middle-aged man leaned forward with the strength of that step, even riding on the strong man's neck, clasped his hands together, and threw the strong man's head.

The strong man didn't care about the middle-aged man's movements. With a joyful smile, the middle-aged man smashed his fists firmly on the strong man's head, but the strong man seemed to be nonchalant and just grabbed the middle-aged man's hands. leg.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to be caught, borrowed the force of a blow, his waist seemed to be pushed up by something, he pulled his legs out, jumped forward with a flick of his waist, his feet touched the ground and wanted to escape, But it failed this time. The strong man's thick thighs took advantage of the lunge, and quickly threw himself out. With his left hand, he grabbed the back of the middle-aged man's neck. The seemingly clumsy and huge body turned around flexibly, and his left hand circled around. The middle-aged man spun around flatly, and pressed heavily on the position where he escaped just now.

Seeing this series of fights like lightning and flint, Lu Bing couldn't help but secretly called out: "Okay!"

The middle-aged man let out a muffled scream, and the woman seemed to be frightened, and forgot to cry, Lu Bing discovered this sharply.

The crowd of onlookers seemed to be frightened by what happened just now, and they only reacted at this moment, and loudly cheered for the strong man.The strong man saw that the middle-aged man seemed to have given up on running away, so he straightened up. Hearing the applause from the crowd, he felt a little embarrassed, scratching the back of his head impressively and giggling.

At this time, there was a sound of yelling from outside the crowd: "Get out of the way! What are you doing around! Gathering people to make trouble!" Following the sound of yelling, a group of people in official uniforms squeezed in.

Lu Bing looked up and saw that there were more than a dozen people belonging to Wucheng soldiers and horses.The leader was in his 40s, wearing the clothes of a deputy commander, with a beard and a face like the bottom of a pot. He was known by Lu Bing, and his name was Guo Ming.

Lu Bing's family lived in Xicheng, and Guo Ming was one of the four deputy commanders of Xicheng, the military commander of the five cities, and he was in charge of the same square where Lu Bing lived, so he knew each other well.

Guo Ming was also from a military family, and he gained his official position with his military exploits under the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Mr. Lin Fu.He is righteous and fair, and has a good reputation.

Guo Ming also saw Lu Bing, and was about to say hello when he saw Lu Bing shaking his head lightly, and immediately understood, so he pretended not to know Lu Bing, went straight to the strong man, and asked, "Why did you hit someone!"

Seeing that the officer seemed to be at a loss, the strong man replied naively: "He, he stole something and wanted to run away." After thinking about it, he touched the back of his head and said childishly, "He hit me first."

At this time, the woman saw the official messenger coming, and then burst into tears on the ground.

Guo Ming walked up to the woman with a frown and said, "Okay, don't cry, your things have been stolen?" The woman wiped her tears and said, "Yes! My lord! My lord must make decisions for the women! "

Guo Ming shouted impatiently: "Okay, don't cry!" Then Guo Ming pointed to the middle-aged man who was still lying on the ground moaning and moaning: "Recognize it, this is the person who stole your money. "

The woman stood up, wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes! My lord, it's him!"

Guo Mingdao: "How much money did he steal from you?"

The woman cried and replied: "23 taels, my lord! The whole 23 taels! Our family's savings have been stolen by him! How can I live!"

Guo Ming asked again: "Is it a whole ingot?" The woman hurriedly replied: "Yes, two ten taels, one ingot, and some silver coins.

Guo Ming pointed to the middle-aged man and said to his subordinates: "Search his body to see if there is any." Several policemen from the military and horse division stepped forward and brought up the middle-aged man lying on the ground.The middle-aged man struggled in pain, and shouted, "I'm wronged! My lord! I didn't steal anything!"

Several police officers searched, but they really didn't find the 23 taels except for a few pieces of silver.

Guo Ming asked the man sternly, "Hey, where is the money?"

The man knelt on the ground and shouted: "It's wrong! The villain really didn't steal her money! I just accidentally bumped into her, and she yelled, and then I was caught by this stupid big man. Where is the time? Hide the silver!"

"This..." Guo Ming pondered as soon as he heard it made sense.

This is when the woman began to cry again: "My lord, I really lost my money! You have to be the master of the women!"

Guo Ming asked the woman again: "Are you sure he stole your money?"

The woman cried loudly: "The women don't know, but he was the only one who bumped into me on the way, and I found it was gone. Who would it be if it wasn't him! This is all our family's savings, if it is lost. I'm not alive!"

Guo Ming was very irritable when he heard that she was just crying. He stamped his feet and said, "Okay! Don't make trouble here. Since you can't find out for a while, just go with me! Interrogate slowly when you arrive at the yamen!"

After speaking, he signaled the police to lock up the three of them and take them back for interrogation.

The middle-aged man and woman were pressed up cooperatively, ready to be taken back.But the brawny man was unwilling. Seeing that the policeman wanted to lock him up, he reflexively made a fighting gesture.

Seeing how big he was, the patrolmen were also afraid and didn't dare to step forward.

Guo Ming walked over and shouted sharply: "Why, do you want to rebel!"

The strong man bit his lip stubbornly and shook his head, "No, I can't go with you!"

Guo Ming drew out his waist knife and shouted: "You want to be an official even after beating someone, do you really want to rebel!"

The strong man just shook his head, Guo Ming and the others didn't dare to go up and kill people, and the atmosphere became stalemate for a moment.
