"Heifu, Heifu, you are indeed a reckless man, you have caused me a lot of harm..."
Ji Ying held a short sword and carefully guarded against the thieves in front of him, feeling very regretful. How could he be so smart in the past and follow Heifu to stand in front of these four thieves in a moment of impulse?
The man who was chased before was probably a local merchant. While running for his life, he did not forget the heavy package on his body. Seeing someone coming to stop the thieves, he immediately showed joy, immediately got behind them, said "thank you" and disappeared in a flash, leaving only Ji Ying and Heifu to fight four.
The four thieves were obviously bandits from Yunmengze. Three of them were ragged and had dark faces. They held simple weapons, either a spear head tied to a short stick, or an axe or a harpoon. Only the bearded man in the middle was wearing a tattered leather armor and holding a shiny iron sword!
This man was the leader of the thieves. Seeing that Ji Ying and Hei Fu had ruined their plan, he stretched out his arms and asked the three accomplices to disperse. At the same time, he said in a thick local accent: "If you want to stay alive, get out of the way!"
Hei Fu was not afraid. In his previous life, he had been involved in many missions when he was an intern at the police station. He had seen many similar scenes, so he smiled and said, "I should say this to you." At the same time, he pointed to Ji Ying and said, "You one, I three!"
After saying that, Hei Fu rushed forward, approached the bearded man, and made a stabbing gesture, forcing the thief to step back a few steps...
Things happened quickly. By the time Ji Ying reacted, Hei Fu had attracted the attention of three people, and the remaining thief came to him.
Although Ji Ying boasted that he was good at martial arts, he actually only learned a few self-defense punches and kicks. Fortunately, the thieves he fought against were not very skilled either. The two of them fought each other for a long time. Except for being covered in mud and panting, they were not injured.
But Ji Ying still felt cold in his heart. He felt that Hei Fu was no match for three people. After the three thieves dealt with Hei Fu, they would come to besiege him.
This was bad luck! Ji Ying wanted to cry but had no tears. He cursed inwardly: "I am only nineteen and have not yet married! If I die like this, how can I be worthy of my parents?"
Just as he was thinking about how to get away, he heard a muffled groan from behind. Ji Ying was shocked and thought that Hei Fu had been hit. He took a break and saw that it was a thief with an axe who had viciously pounced on Hei Fu. He had fallen to the ground, with a sword on his ankle, and was holding his stomach with a painful expression!
"Huh? Hei Fu is quite skilled."
Before Ji Ying could praise him, the thief rushed over again, and the two wrestled together, and it took a long time for them to separate. At this time, he heard another scream, and hurriedly turned back, only to see that the thief with the short spear was also knocked to the ground by Hei Fu, holding his bloody thigh with both hands, crying and wailing, and the short sword was deeply stabbed into it, leaving only the hilt.
Ji Ying was a little surprised: "Hei Fu is really amazing for knocking down two people in a row!"
It happened so suddenly that Ji Ying had no idea what happened behind him, but what happened next made him unforgettable for life.
At this time, Hei Fu's sword was stuck in the leg of the second fallen thief. He had no weapons in his hands, but he still had to face the fully armed bearded man. What should he do now!
The bearded man also thought of this and laughed wildly, "Little boy, no matter how good you are, without weapons, you are no match for Nai Gong!"
After that, he roared "Die!" and rushed towards Hei Fu with a blade in one hand! This posture was to stab Hei Fu through!
Ji Ying's heart was in his throat, but Hei Fu was not panicked. He stood in place, with his legs apart, his feet slightly moving, his fists on his chest, and a pair of eyes staring at the bearded man's movements to determine his attack range.
When he was about to rush to the front, he suddenly let go, and at the same time, his right hand quickly grabbed the thief's left arm, pulled it towards himself, and his left hand changed into a fist to hit the thief's elbow!
Clang! With just one move, the short sword of the bearded man was cleanly knocked out of his hand.
Not only Ji Ying, but even the bearded man was stunned. This was a bare-handed grabbing of a sword!
The bearded man was frightened and retreated repeatedly. He lost his weapon, but he was still daring and wanted to punch back.
Hei Fu had expected it. He first blocked and grabbed his arm, then raised his left foot and kicked the thief hard in the abdomen, hitting him exactly!
When the man bent over in pain, Hei Fu hit him in the back with his left elbow, forcing the bearded man to lie on the ground and unable to move. Then Hei Fu picked up the weapon and pressed it against his throat...
The whole process took only a moment. Hei Fu knocked down the three thieves cleanly with his smooth moves!
Ji Ying was so surprised that his mouth opened wide. Seeing this, the thief who was confronting him had already fled...
Hei Fu was already panting as he held down the bearded man. He knew that he was in a very dangerous situation just now, and it was far from as easy as it looked.
The Qin State valued martial arts, and men carried weapons when they went out. His short sword was only more than one foot long, which was the same length as the fighting daggers of the later armed police academy. Fighting with a reverse grip dagger was exactly the skill that Hei Fu practiced the most. Moreover, he was left-handed in his past and present lives, so his moves were different from those of ordinary people, and he was hard to defend against.
The two thieves who rushed up rashly had been starving for a long time, and their bodies were weak and thin. Of course, they were no match for Hei Fu, and they were knocked to the ground in a few moves.
The trouble was that when Hei Fu's short sword pierced the leg of the thief holding the short spear, the bearded man was also attacking him, forcing Hei Fu to abandon his sword and retreat, and a wound was stabbed on his elbow.
Fortunately, he still has a killer weapon, which is the "enemy capture fist" he learned in the Armed Police Academy in his previous life! After coming to this era, he would practice a few moves when he saw no one around, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy today.
There are sixteen styles of enemy capture fist, which use both hands and feet, and combine wrestling and capture. Depending on different situations, four gates can be fought.
Frontline police often face not martial arts masters who have received systematic training, but gangsters with brute force, or armed thugs. Therefore, enemy capture fist is the most suitable for dealing with small thieves who have become bandits in ancient times.
As for the magical "seizing the white blade with bare hands" in Ji Ying's eyes, it is just the fourth style of enemy capture fist "grabbing the wrist and smashing the elbow", which is the best move to deal with criminals with weapons, and then a "tripping and throwing" and a "side kick and smashing" to subdue the bearded man.
Although these thieves are desperate, most of the robbers are unarmed merchants and fishermen. Where have they seen such professional moves? In addition, they were a little careless when they were three against one, and they took turns to fight, giving Hei Fu the opportunity to defeat them one by one. If they rushed at once, Hei Fu felt that he might not win.
"Why are you standing there? Help me tie them up."
At this time, the bearded man under him began to struggle desperately. Hei Fu quickly restrained him. Seeing that Ji Ying was still in a daze, he shouted a few times. Ji Ying then reacted and limped over to help. He twisted his foot in the fight just now.
"Hei Fu, it turns out that you are so good at martial arts. No wonder you are not afraid of fighting more with fewer people."
Ji Ying untied his belt, found Fujiko, and helped Hei Fu tie up the three thieves tightly, and began to praise his skills.
"Then why did you come out with me?" Hei Fu also saw Ji Ying's mediocre skills, but he did not despise him or turn around and run away immediately, which was already quite good.
"I'm just afraid that officials will investigate me later."
Ji Ying explained helplessly: "You are right. The law says that if someone robs and kills someone on the road, and passers-by within a hundred steps do not rescue him, he shall be fined two armors!"
"Fine" means fine. Hei Fu knew this provision, which is one of the reasons why he respected the laws of Qin. In later generations, being brave and righteous was just a "virtue", but in Qin, being brave and righteous was explicitly protected by the law and became an obligation, an obligation that every Qin person should fulfill!
"If it can be the same in later generations..."
Hei Fu was moved. It was not that he valued the past and despised the present, but the strange phenomenon in the 21st century that those who dared not help the old people who fell to the ground, and were blackmailed after helping them, was really chilling. All he could say was "people's hearts are not the same as they used to be".
If it were in Qin, would you dare not help an old man who fell down? Would you dare to blackmail someone who helped you up?
Qin officials use the law instead of morality to teach you how to be a man in a minute!
"Do you know how much a fine of two Jia is worth?" Ji Ying tied the last knot and looked up and asked.
"This..." Heifu had just come to this era and was not very clear about the prices of various commodities.
Before he could remember, Ji Ying said in rapid succession: "In Nanjun, one Jia is 1344 coins, and two Jia is 2688 coins!"
"It's so expensive!"
Heifu sighed. He knew that the price of rice in Anlu County ranged from 40 to 120 coins per stone, depending on the year of good harvest or bad harvest. Taking this year's rice price of "eighty per stone", two Jia is equivalent to a fine of 33 stones of millet, which is the food for a seven-foot man like Heifu for one and a half years, not a small amount.
To say what the characteristics of Qin law are, one word: fine, even a small matter like a mouse biting the bag in the granary is also taken care of. Another word: heavy! The heavy punishment of Qin law can be seen from the fine.
This means that simply not helping an old lady who fell could cause a poor soldier to suffer huge economic losses. No wonder later generations often said that Qin law was harsh.
But on the other hand, if there is a heavy punishment, there must be a heavy reward!
After tying up the three thieves and finding some herbal leaves to help Heifu treat the wound on his hand, Ji Ying asked mysteriously: "Do you know how much reward the government will give for capturing one of the bandits?"
Heifu said: "Don't keep me in suspense, tell me quickly."
"I heard this from the patrolmen in the village."
Ji Ying picked up a branch, wrote fourteen and three on the ground, then pointed at them and said: "The law says that if you can capture one of the bandits alive, it is equivalent to beheading two people, and the government will reward you with fourteen gold! One tael of gold is worth 576 half taels of money..."
Before he could finish counting his fingers, Heifu had finished his mental calculation and took a breath of cold air and said: "Fourteen gold is 8064 money... My God."
"That's right, you captured three people, and you should be rewarded with more than 24,000 yuan!"
At this point, Ji Ying patted Heifu's shoulder enviously and said: "Heifu, you have made a fortune. If you become rich, don't forget me!"
