Chapter 23 comes without any effort

Xu Jinghong and others immediately followed the sound and looked over there and saw a woman in messy clothes stumbled towards them. Behind her, five big men with sharp knives were stepping up to catch up, and the distance between the two sides was only 30 or 50 steps.

At this time, although it was dark and there were not many people in the south of the city, dozens of people on the street still saw this shocking scene. Originally, when they saw a weak woman being chased, someone should have come forward to help, but when those passers-by saw the bright sword in the hands of the pursuers behind them, they stopped again. Looking at their dress and look, these people who have lived in Beijing for a long time can guess their identity. They must be some underground gangster, but they can't afford to provoke them.

So in full view of the public, a group of big men chased after the woman and were about to catch her. Seeing that no one around dared to intervene, which made the big men even more rampant. The first big man smiled, picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it into the woman's back heart. Obviously, he wanted to knock down the man in one fell swoop, and then came forward to take him.

Just when the stone went straight to the woman's back heart with the sound of wind, and she was still confused. She only cared about the mouth of running forward and running for her life, a stone suddenly shot over and intercepted it before it hit the target.

This change was indeed too sudden. Those big men were stunned when they saw that someone dared to obstruct the stone they threw. They couldn't help but stop. Then they looked in the direction of the flying stone and saw a teenager standing there with a smile on his mouth. Naturally, this person was Xu Jinghong. He greeted him one step ahead of his brothers and helped the woman in time.

At this time, the woman had rushed to Xu Jinghong and still shouted, "Help, help me!" It looks very anxious and helpless. Xu Jinghong pulled it before and after he came to him and said, "Girl, don't be afraid. With me, no one can hurt you!"

Once pulled by someone, the woman's body suddenly softened and then fell to the ground. It turned out that she had already exhausted her strength. It was only because of her instinct to survive that she could persist until now, but now she was pulled down by Xu Jinghong. Xu Jinghong was stunned, and then took a step forward and stood in front of the woman, because those big men had been forced over.

After the initial stunned, several big men suddenly became angry. When he came over and waved the sharp knife in his hand in the air a few times, he said, "Kid, you are so bold! Even we dare to take care of the matter of our Flying Tiger Gang. Hurry up and roll as far as we want to trouble you, otherwise..."

Xu Jinghong put his arms on his chest and said to them with a mocking smile, "Several big men are chasing a weak woman on the street. You are really domineering. I have never heard of the Flying Tiger Gang. All I know is that the people I want to save must be saved. Get out of here if you know the opportunity, or you will know it's awesome. When saying this, Xu Jinghong felt that he seemed to have returned to his youth in his previous life, and it was not interesting to mix with the streets.

But those big men don't have so many ideas. As soon as they see that the other party not only refuses to hand over people, but also more horizontal than themselves, they can no longer tolerate it. Originally, I was worried that it would cause trouble to the help after the matter got bigger, but now it seems that I have to clean up this blind boy and take people away. So they didn't need to say anything more and immediately spread out to Xu Jinghong and the woman behind him.

Because he originally planned to go out for dinner, Xu Jinghong did not carry any weapons, and his age was there, so it did not seem to be a threat. After shouting, the big men waved their knives straight into his face, but they didn't mean to keep their hands at all.

Although these people are also good at fighting and looking for trouble on the street and have a certain cooperation with each other, all this is nothing in Xu Jinghong's eyes. Not to mention that he has learned mastery martial arts in this era and experienced it in the army. He alone, who fought for the second place in the police academy in his previous life, could not be scared by these gangsters.

Seeing several people rushing at him, Xu Jinghong still remained motionless. When the first knife cut his face, he turned slightly and narrowly avoided the knife. Then his left knee had been lifted heavily and hit the man's lower abdomen.

As soon as the man was stunned, he only felt a great pain coming from his lower abdomen, and his body bowed. Xu Jinghong's right elbow suddenly smashed down at the same time, hitting his bent back. In a face, the man had fallen softly to the ground, with snot and tears on his face, and he had no ability to do anything again in an instant. Xu Jinghong still retained his strength. If he had really used his strength, this gangster would have died on the spot long ago.

Seeing that he knocked down a big man in one fell swoop, the remaining big man was stunned. They were also the people who had been fighting and killing on the street for a long time. At a glance, they saw that Xu Jinghong's ability was not small. They were afraid that they would not be an opponent when they went up, so they suddenly stopped their footsteps before jumping on him. But their bodies are still leaning forward, which looks quite strange.

"Kid, you... Do you know the strength of our Flying Tiger Gang? If you are against us, no matter who you are, you will not have a good end! You'd better hand over the person quickly, and we can expose today's matter..." After a while, the big men still said so. They know too well the use of this woman for themselves. If they can't take her back, they are afraid that they will be severely punished, but they can only rely on the name of the Flying Tiger Gang.

But Xu Jinghong was unmoved: "I haven't heard of flying tigers and cats!" Since I'm going to save you today, I won't let you take people away. If you want to take people back, come up, or get out of here!"

Xu Jinghong's words made the big men even more ashamed, but they did not dare to rush straight up after seeing his skills. At this time, one of the big men suddenly gave a winp to the other three and said, "Well, in this case, we will sell you face. Do you dare to report your name?"

"I can't change my name or change my surname. Xu Jinghong is me! Those guys who asked you to come to me, I'd like to see how many pounds you have.

"Okay, wait!" As the man spoke, he turned his head angrily and wanted to leave. Just as he turned around, his hand suddenly raised, and a white smoke rose from his hand and covered Xu Jinghong. Several other people were obviously prepared. As soon as they saw him take action, they quickly raised their sharp knives and greeted Xu Jinghong.

This change made the people around who were watching all this exclaim. Although they dare not offend gangs like the Flying Tiger Gang to help Xu Jinghong, they still support this brave teenager in their hearts. Originally, seeing that he had controlled the overall situation, everyone was relieved for him and the woman, but they didn't expect that these hoodlums were so sinister that they were not human opponents and even plotted.

This is the ability of these gangsters in Beijing to break out of such a big force. When they can use strength, they will use strength, and when they find that they can't defeat each other, they will use some conspiracy and tricks to eradicate the enemy, which can be said to be extremely despicable.

Xu Jinghong's brothers over there had seen such a few gangsters, and the team could definitely handle it with one person's strength, so they didn't come up to help each other and wanted the team to become this hero alone. But they didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Xu Jinghong was plotted, so they were anxious and rushed to help.

When they rushed up a few steps, the white smoke had dissipated. Xu Jinghong's face was covered with white powder, and his eyes were also tightly closed. But there were no scars on his body that everyone was worried about. On the contrary, the gangsters who rushed to plot against him had all fallen to the ground, but fell into a coma.

After scattering the white powder, the gangsters thought they could plot Xu Jinghong. But he didn't expect that he was ready to close his eyes and hold his breath in time when the powder mask came, so that it was impossible to control him in a short time. Then he quickly determined the direction of the people with extraordinary ear power, attacked them in the fastest way, and punched them on their temples.

Because Xu Jinghong did not make any reservations this time, the speed is extremely fast. When the brothers rushed over and the white smoke dissipated, those people had all fallen to the ground.

"Good!" The people around saw this scene finally couldn't help shouting and were no longer afraid that the Flying Tiger Gang would come to find any trouble. Someone even praised loudly: "It's really a young hero from ancient times. Young heroes have good skills!"

At this time, Xu Jinghong didn't have time to pay attention to these, but hurriedly asked his brothers around him, "What is among me?"

"It's lime!" The old dog was the first to see the clue and shouted, "You have to find vegetable oil to wash, otherwise it will be bad!"

Xu Jinghong smiled bitterly. Although he had just noticed that they had other plans and paid attention to it, he did not expect that these people would do so, sprinkle lime powder to fascinate their eyes. Fortunately, my six knowledge is very sensitive, and my martial arts skills are not weak, otherwise I may really fall into the hands of these people.

Just as everyone was eager to borrow vegetable oil to wash their eyes with the people around them, a group of government officials had rushed over. Originally, with the reaction speed of the government in this era, it was impossible for the vassmen to arrive in such a timely manner, but because of the task suppressed by Lu Bingqing, the south of the city was the focus of their attention, so what happened here was quickly known by them and rushed here.

"What's going on?" It was Wang Guben, the catcher, who looked very bad. Because from his experience, this is an ordinary street fight, and at such a tense moment, there are still people who bother him because of the fight, which makes him quite unhappy.

At this time, Xu Jinghong was washing their eyes in a restaurant by the roadside, so only those passers-by answered his question: "Go back to the head, some gangsters chased the woman, and later a young hero took action to save people..." With that, the man said the matter again.

"Flying Tiger Gang?" After hearing the matter, Wang Guben suddenly had another idea and asked, "What about that woman and those gangsters?"

"It's all here!" Immediately, someone pointed to the restaurant. After taking Xu Jinghong in, his brothers also moved the woman and four hoodlums who were knocked unconscious by him into the shop. The woman had to ask because her identity was unknown. As for those hoodlums, they planned to teach them a good lesson. The only regret is that the first guy who was knocked down by Xu Jinghong somehow got up and fled from the ground when everyone was busy.

So when Wang Guben entered the restaurant, he saw four men who had been beaten black and blue and almost invisible were tied tightly with ropes. He took a look at the knot of the bundle of people and was stunned: "This is the method used to bind people in the army. It seems that this young hero's way of action is not simple."

Because of this level of acquaintance, Wang Guben was much more polite when he asked Xu Jinghong: "The people you knocked down?"

"Exact. My brothers and I were about to go out, but we didn't want to meet these guys chasing a girl. I took action because of a moment of righteous indignation and knocked them all down. Xu Jinghong replied. At this time, he had washed away the lime powder on his face. Except for his red eyes, there was no other discomfort, and there was no awkwardness in the face of Wang Guben.

"It seems that the little brother's ability is not simple. And how can you have so many brothers, but you don't know who you are?"

"Oh. Xu Jinghong was ordered to come to the capital in the Southwest Army. Because the court has not arranged our errands for a long time, we have to stay in Daliang. Xu Jinghong did not hide anything and told the truth.

"Are you Xu Jinghong?" Wang Gu couldn't help looking up and down at the teenager in front of him. He still heard of some of the war in the southwest, and knew that Xu Jinghong made contributions there, and Wang Guben was also familiar with the entanglement between him and the son of the Chu family in public.

"Exact. Why, don't you believe it?"

"I believe it! I said, when did Da Liang have such a bold person that he dared to rob people in the hands of the Flying Tiger Gang, but it turned out to be Brother Xu!" While speaking, Wang Guben's tone was much warmer. Then he said apologetically, "But after all, this matter is an official. I also asked Brother Xu to accompany me to the Gyeonggi Province, so that there is an explanation, but I will delay Brother Xu's meal."

"Brother Wang, there is no need to apologize. Since I took action, I will finish the matter completely. I'll go with you. But I hope I can also take this girl to the government office in case someone is against her again.

"Of course!" Wang Guben didn't have any refusal, and then called those servists to deal with it. Several big men have been made obedient and saved some hands and feet, and then found a door panel and carried the still unconscious woman to Gyeonggi Province.

At this time, Lu Bingqing in Jingji Prefecture faced the blame of Miao Xianzhang helplessly. More than half a month has passed, and the Gyeonggi government is still helpless about the Black Panther Gang, which makes Miao Xianzhang, who wants to avenge his daughter, naturally come here to vent.

Lu Bingqing, the governor, listened to the other party's accusations without embarrassment and comforted the other party with a smiling face, and his heart was also tight. But who told him to sit in this position? The other party has a certain power in the court, and he dares not offend him. He can only endure it like this.

After scolding for a long time, Miao Xianzhang's anger subsided a little. He took a sip of tea to moisten his hoarse throat and said, "Lord Lu, it's the end of June. Don't forget that Lord Wu is limited to you to eradicate the Panther Gang this month. If you don't try your best, I'm afraid that your position as the governor of the capital will also come to the end.

"Yes, yes, I will do my best. Our Gyeonggi government has used all the manpower that can be used, but we still can't find a reason..." Later, Lu Bingqing was a little excused for himself.

"I don't care what you do. Anyway, I must avenge my dead daughter!" After saying this, Miao Xianzhang came out of the second hall without looking back, leaving Lu Bingqing there.

Miao Xianzhang came to the gate of the government with anger and happened to meet Wang Guben. Wang Gu naturally recognized Master Miao, who had been making trouble recently, and hurriedly asked everyone to make way and let him go first. But the door panel carrying the woman was too inconvenient to rotate, so it still stopped in front of Miao Xianzhang.

Miao Xianzhang snorted coldly and stared at the officials who carried the door panel quite dissatisfiedly. But then, his eyes fell on the woman above and did not move, and the muscles on his face trembled even more.

"Master Miao..." Seeing that he was a little wrong, Wang Gu had to go up to say hello.

After being called by him, Miao Xianzhang recovered and took Wang Guben's hand: "Have you found the nest of the Panther Gang?"

"Why did Master Miao say this?" Wang Guben asked.

"If you didn't break the nest of the Black Panther Gang, how did you save Lingqin?" Miao Xianzhang pointed to the woman and asked excitedly.

"Does Master Miao recognize her?" At this time, Wang Guben's heart moved, and he had vaguely guessed something.

"She is Lingqin, one of the two maids close to my daughter, and she was also taken away that day." Master Miao explained eagerly.

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and the flying tiger gangsters who were already very nervous and scared changed color, and their bodies couldn't help trembling. Wang Guben quickly reacted after losing his mind for a short time: "Master Miao, please go back to the government with me. This time, he may destroy the nest of the Black Panther Gang in one fell swoop!"
