Chapter 87: The Last Reliance
"You can't let them go!"
When everyone heard this, their color suddenly changed, especially the families who bought and sold the woman, and they were the first to turn around and look at Heifu with unkind eyes.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Heifu hurriedly shouted: "The prison door is deceiving people!" The law says that as long as you turn yourself in, you can reduce the punishment! If you can help me to catch the prison gate and the person who bought the woman, it will reduce the crime! Don't die! ”
This is still a lie, but what Heifu has to do now is to hope that everyone in the Blind Mountain will start to fight among themselves because of the different punishments they will receive.
But he still overestimated how much this poor country was afraid of Qin Lu.
Someone hesitated, someone hesitated, but no one listened to Heifu and took the first step. It always takes more courage to do it to one's own people and neighbors than to one's strangers.
On the contrary, it was there that the prison door was in the middle of the rope, and he simply climbed onto a tiled roof next to him, and raised his arms and shouted.
"This dog pavilion chief is provoking us, don't be fooled! If we let them go in infighting, then the whole people will suffer. It's better to kill all these pavilion soldiers! Anyway, the blind mountain is remote, and no one knows about it afterwards! ”
Heifu laughed and said: "I have already informed the county magistrate of this matter, if I do not return for a long time, the government will definitely investigate it and send troops from the county and township to suppress it." When the time comes, what awaits you will not be the crime of group robbery, but the crime of rebellion against the three tribes! There are more than 200 people in the whole room, and none of them can escape! ”
Zhong Cheng was fierce: "So what, even if you go to Chu Land for your life, it is better than waiting for death in this whole clan!" ”
He is also a bachelor enough, and he has already come up with the idea of killing people and running away.
Heifu suddenly changed color, if the group of people outside really listened to his words, regardless of it, he would really be more auspicious this time......
He hurriedly raised his crossbow and aimed at the prison gate, wanting to shoot people and horses first, but was blocked by countless pairs of raised hands!
The idea of killing officials and dying, like a crazy vine, gradually grew in everyone's minds.
The faces in front of him also began to distort, and they shouted at Heifu and the pavilion guards, "Kill them!" ”
At this moment, under the threat of clan annihilation, these people didn't even care about the lives of the officials and Tian Dian, and a few of them were in a hurry, and they had even raised the sharp rake and wooden rake in their hands, and they were about to greet Heifu!
Heifu hurriedly stepped back, forming a circle with everyone, protecting the few women who had no combat strength in the middle.
They didn't cry, they just looked indifferently at all the mob people around them, they just seemed to be used to it, but the despair in their eyes grew deeper and deeper. And Lixian, Dongmen Leopard, and Ji Ying have all gritted their teeth, holding their weapons to the death, ready to fight to the death with a huge disparity in strength!
More than ten steps away, the inner prison gate on the roof laughed arrogantly: "This pavilion chief, although the law you said is strict, it is far away from the county seat, what can you do to me?" What can I do? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bowstring sounded outside the inner door, and an arrow shot in the air, directly through the throat of the inner prison door from behind!
……
The prison keeper who was still screaming loudly and inciting the people to kill the officials and die, lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the arrow that pierced his throat.
The cluster of arrows is a bronze diamond with vermilion droplets of blood condensed on it......
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but instead of words, blood kept coming out of the wound, at first it was blood foam, but slowly it turned into a gurgling stream.
Then Nakatsu lost his balance and fell with a bang, tumbling several times from the roof of the tiled roof where he was standing, rolling down and smashing to the ground, motionless......
More than 200 people in the blind mountain watched in amazement as their inner prison gate was killed by an arrow that came from the sky, and everyone looked around in a daze, but could not find who shot the arrow where.
The only clue was a copper whistle that suddenly sounded......
Beep!
The whistle sounded outside the closed inner door.
Beep!
Not long after that, the whistle sounded again in the mulberry forest on the left!
Then, behind the tiled house, next to the small bridge, every once in a while, a sharp and piercing whistle would sound outside the wall!
For a while, the entire blind mountain seemed to be surrounded by this copper whistle!
The people were very nervous, looking around, their faces filled with fear.
They were not afraid of the few people standing in front of them, but they were even more afraid of the hidden arrows that they didn't know where to hide and how many people there were.
Only Hefu listened to the whistle and understood.
"Xiao Tao, this kid, didn't leave!"
This elusive arrow, this clever bronze whistle, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is the handiwork of the stammering young man.
One person, but acting like ten people, this kid not only shoots arrows accurately, but also has a smart brain.
Heifu didn't expect that their last reliance was no longer the majesty of Qin Lu, but the backhand they left before entering the door.
This dramatic reversal made him laugh out loud, and then he said loudly to the panicked people after the dragons were leaderless:
"I'm just trying to see if you have the heart to turn yourself in and admit your guilt, and tell you the truth, I've actually been out there a long time ago, ambushing a whole bunch of archers!"
"Yitun's archers!"
The people were shocked, there were fifty of them, and they were all hiding outside? Now that the only wise man is dead, they have no way of distinguishing the real from the fake.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the people, Heifu pointed to the corpse of the prison gate, stared at the round eyes and shouted:
"Negative recalcitrant ones, this is the end!"
"Second and third sons, if you think you are innocent, then quickly assist the pavilion chief and arrest those who bought and sold women, and there is only one chance to surrender and live, if you don't seize it, it will be gone!"
……
In the early morning of the next day, when Shuwu You, who traveled to Zhuanshui Township, took the county seat's order Le, as well as thirty or forty pavilion chiefs, thieves, and pavilion guards from various pavilions in Anlu County, and rushed to the blind mountain out of breath, he saw a bizarre scene that he would never forget in this life......
One hundred and eighty people were densely tied to the pillars and stumps in the walls of the blind mountain with vines, hemp ropes, and belts. Except for a dozen or so young children, the women who were plundered and sold watched from inside and outside, and all the adults in the blind mountain were captured!
And Shuwu dug a pit, and Heifu, the head of the Huyang Pavilion who took over this tricky case, was sitting on the eaves of the inner wall in a chic manner at this time, playing with a crossbow machine in his hand, and Xiao Tao, who was holding an arrow and a bow, monitoring more than 100 men and women in the inner door, so that they did not dare to act rashly.
"This ...... How is this done? ”
Although Ji Ying, who had heard the outline of the matter after hearing for help, Shuwu still couldn't believe the scene in front of him.
There are more than 200 people, there are at least dozens of Ding Zhuang, and Heifu only brought five or six people, can they really take down the entire clan in the blind mountain with one enemy and ten?
"It's just that I'm afraid of the majesty of Qin Law, so I'm just tied my hands." Heifu only smiled faintly, as if it were nothing.
In fact, yesterday, after Xiao Tao shot to death at the prison gate, Heifu bluffed and threatened the "Yitun archers" lurking outside the wall, deceiving everyone in the blind mountain to fight among themselves.
Those who thought they were innocent and the families who bought the woman fought with each other, and their noses and faces were swollen, and finally they were all tied up.
Then, Heifu changed his face again, unloaded everyone's farm tools, and forced them to tie himself up with a crossbow machine, which led to the scene in front of him.
China's 2,000-year history has proved countless times that when the courage dissipates and there is no determination to die, it is not uncommon for a few hundred people to surrender to a dozen.
But where had the county officials and pavilion chiefs brought by Shuwu seen this scene, and they were also stunned by the situation in front of them.
Starting from Ling Yile, to the pavilion chiefs and thieves, regardless of Shuwu's jealous Tie Qing's face, they began to praise Heifu's methods, and at the same time said apologetically: "We are one step late." ”
Heifu hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were a little red.
He looked at the bound criminal mob inside the wall, one by one like frosted eggplants, without the majesty of the abuse of women in the past, what awaits them will be the ruthless but fair trial of "Qin Law".
Look at the plundered women outside the wall, in the early morning sun, the kite reverted to the appearance of a little girl, lying in her father's arms and talking in her dreams, but her brows were slightly furrowed, and tears condensed on her cheeks, as if she remembered something unpleasant.
And the devastated madwoman Yu was also put on her head by someone who didn't know how to put a crown of flowers and plants on her head, covering the terrible scars left by the beating, and she stared blankly at the morning light in the sky, and gradually smiled......
"yes."
In the eyes of fear, gratitude, or admiration, Hefu muttered to himself:
"Justice may be late ......"
"But never absent!"
