In less than a quarter of an hour, the fight ended.

Except for more than ten soldiers from Jiangning Camp who were seriously injured, all of these so-called patrol officers fell down. Falling down does not mean death. Not many people died, especially those who were hit by flintlock guns, who were lying on the ground with a very painful expression, but few people screamed, obviously they were all enduring the pain.

The soldiers from the scout camp surrounded these people and waited for Su Tiancheng to start attacking.

During the fight, Su Tiancheng was always paying attention to the situation. It was precisely because of his feelings that the soldiers were prepared to deal with this sudden attack. Although the other party had made a lot of preparations and set up checkpoints in this wilderness, unfortunately these people were not familiar with the rules in the officialdom and still adhered to the principles when they saw the regular cavalry. Such a thing was impossible to happen in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. The officers leading the team had probably been bored after seeing such a formation. They would not dare to say anything about the inspection, and even not allow everyone to leave.

These people are all good at personal skills, but unfortunately they do not have unified command and no sense of placing troops. Relying on their personal abilities, they want to attack the army, which is similar to dying.

Su Tiancheng had a preliminary judgment on the identity of these people. He could conclude that these people were not soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Whether they were soldiers from the garrison or soldiers from the inspection department, their basic military knowledge was clear. When launching an attack, they would pay great attention to their own formation and protect each other. Moreover, the soldiers from the garrison and the inspection department were not as good as theirs, nor did they have the courage to move forward. They encountered a little trouble and dispersed like birds and beasts.

Could it be that these people are so-called people in the martial arts world?

After traveling through time, Su Tiancheng never discovered any people in the martial arts world. Perhaps the scope of contact he could reach was different. He was basically in the officialdom, followed by the army, and rarely had the opportunity to understand other aspects of the situation. So ten years have passed. Su Tiancheng believed that in the past, the description of the things in the martial arts world was completely fabricated, and there was no trace of the same. When Su Tiancheng was the three governors in Shaanxi, he had the opportunity to go to Shaolin Temple to see it, but his failure was due to his understanding of the martial arts world.

If these fallen soldiers are all so-called people from the world, they need to figure out the reasons behind this.

Who sent these people to assassinate him, what is the purpose? Is it to kill him and cause chaos in the Ming Dynasty, or is it just thinking about scaring him? It is not thinking about the real success of assassination.

He did not immediately ask for all of these people to be killed, and he still needs to figure out the situation here.

The reason why these people assassinated themselves is the most important. In recent times, Su Tiancheng has become extremely careful. The situation in the court is unclear. Lu Shanji's letter told everything. In fact, it can be seen that Zhu Youjian was anxious, what the civil and military ministers in the court were thinking, and envy and jealousy must exist. Will anyone be crazy and think about assassinating themselves? As for Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty, he always thought that he could die, so that Huang Taiji could rest assured. There is another possibility that he could not be completely ruled out, that is, although the bandits were wiped out, there were still some fish that missed the net. These people were confidants of Li Zicheng and others, and were always looking for opportunities to assassinate themselves.

No matter what, Su Tiancheng was still very angry when entering Dezhou, Shandong. In broad daylight, some people dared to set up checkpoints on the official road and launched assassination through this form. It can be seen that what government officials in various parts of Shandong are doing can also show that there may be a possibility of exploiting the people in various parts of Shandong.

Su Tiancheng did not speak, and the soldiers below understood the meaning. Soon someone selected more than a dozen people among the soldiers who were lying on the ground and took them aside.

A few minutes later, screams began to come out. Needless to say, the scouts' methods were different. Assassination, spy on intelligence, etc. were all very good. Anyone who was interested, even if it was a stone, would be squeezed out useful things.

Half an hour later, a soldier came to report.

"Sir, my subordinates have interrogated them, and two of them have confessed that they are from the Blood Killing Alliance."

Su Tiancheng was stunned for a moment. He had never heard of the name of Blood-killing Alliance. After traveling through time, he heard this kind of name with a scent of the world for the first time. Could it be that in the Ming Dynasty, there were really so-called sects of the world?

"What is the Blood Killing Alliance?"

At this time, a soldier next to Su Tiancheng spoke.

"Sir, the Blood Killing Alliance is a sect in the world. The main task of this sect is to kill people for others. After they accepted the silver liang, they completed the task assigned by their employer. It is said that this Blood Killing Alliance is very famous in the south, and the government does not have much help to them."

Su Tiancheng looked at the soldiers around him.

"May I have your name?"

"Sir, subordinate Zhang Yu, the scout camp's small flag."

"Well, you know something else, just say it all, and introduce the so-called situation in the world."

It seems that Zhang Yu has prepared for a long time.

"Sir, my subordinates were in Wudang Mountain before. Later, after going down the mountain, they were forced by bandits and met Lord Liu and entered the scout camp."

Su Tiancheng nodded. It turned out that Liu Yu was in Wudang Mountain before, so no wonder he was so clear about the situation in the world.

"The four recognized sects in the world are Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Hengshan. These four sects are also recognized by the court. Shaolin and Hengshan belong to Confucianism, and Wudang Emei belongs to Taoism. In addition to these four sects, there are countless small sects, which are basically derived from the four sects, and follow the orders and the four sects."

"In addition to the four major sects, there are some so-called alliances. The Blood-killing Alliance belongs to one of them. These alliances basically do not follow the rules of the world. The four major sects have a very clear requirement, that is, they do not have any relationship with the government and do not interfere with anything involved in the government. This is a very strict rule. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished by the sect at the least, or even abolished martial arts, and then expelled from the sect after the martial arts are abolished. Therefore, over the years, the four major sects have been able to stand tall and have also been supported by the court. However, because of the continuous wars, some alliances in the world have emerged. These alliances have no principled position and are tempted by money. They can be employed by a wealthy gentry, sometimes also by the government, and everything they do is assassination and bodyguards."

"The subordinates have a little understanding of the Blood Killing Alliance. The Blood Killing Alliance should be an alliance headquartered in Sichuan Province. It has a bit of a big momentum. The leader of the Blood Killing Alliance once visited Shaolin and Wudang to discuss skills, but he has never been able to do it."

"Later, the leader of the Blood Killing Alliance found many other alliances to compete in martial arts. It is said that this leader has extraordinary martial arts skills. He took advantage of the opportunity to compete in martial arts and united many alliances."

"The affairs in the world are solved by themselves, and they will not bother the government. Moreover, the inspection department in the middle of the government is also clear about these rules. Any assassination and other matters involved in the world, the inspection department will not investigate after it is investigated. It will be solved by various sects or alliances."

"Because of these situations, the adults don't know much about the things in the world."

Su Tiancheng nodded and finally realized that in the Ming Dynasty, the world still existed, but the organizations in the world had never had any interaction with the government. The four major sects in the world adhered to the principle that they would not have any contact with the government. In this case, Su Tiancheng, as an official of the court, certainly did not know these things. Even if Su Tiancheng went to Shaanxi as the governor, no one would suggest him to go to Shaolin Temple to take a look.

"Did you think about assassinating me this time?"

"Sir, my subordinates are still asking. The two of them said they didn't know the specific arrangements, but my subordinates found a picture from them."

Su Tiancheng looked at the image drawn on the picture. Although the image was very simple, you could tell at a glance that he was drawing himself.

"Since there are about a hundred people, there must be a leader and leader. Find out this person, the remaining personnel, Zhang Yu, what should you do with your suggestions?"

"Sir, my subordinates believe that if the leader is left, all the rest will be killed, and no one will be left."

Su Tiancheng looked at Zhang Yu and was a little surprised. He never expected Zhang Yu to say this.

"Sir, it is often difficult to separate the disputes, grievances and grievances in the world. The four major sects hate these alliances in the world very much, because what these alliances do have already involved the four major sects. At the same time, most of the people responsible for the assassination are desperate people. They are vicious, and they will not show mercy even when facing women, children, elderly and weak. In the world, these desperate people are deeply hated."

Su Tiancheng thought for a moment.

"Leave the two who spoke, and find out the leaders of the group at the same time, continue to interrogate, and kill all the rest."

After the command is issued, it is very simple to execute.

The soldiers in the scout camp were very skillful in their movements. After killing these blood-killing members, some of the soldiers dug out a large pit not far from the official road, and some of the soldiers threw all the bodies into the pit. After all the bodies were thrown into the pit, the soldiers who had already prepared had begun to bury them.

After an hour, the official road returned to peace, as if nothing had happened.
