Chapter 246: The Dust Has Settled? The storm is back

Although the stone sheds were once garrisoned, they have been abandoned for many years, and now the stone wall surrounding the village is only a small section in the north, and the three sides of the east, west and south are the ruins of the past. In order to be safe, Bin Hong set up checkpoints on several main roads down the mountain, and each person was issued with waist knives, but only twenty or thirty people were dispatched after all.

In the evening of that day, Peng Shisan took a few companions to go home under the pretext of going home, and went down to make a big fuss, which was originally a small fight, but as a result, dozens of people were implicated in the "accident", and a large group of people scuffled together, and the scene was out of control for a while. In the end, almost all the people on the sentry post were beaten so that they couldn't get up, although Bin Hong was furious, but in the face of dozens of strong and justified "warriors", he could only scold them all in a loud voice, locked them all in the house, and prepared to gather everyone to deal with them in public early tomorrow morning. Since four more men were assigned to guard each room, there was no need to send people at the checkpoint.

It's just an overnight effort, what's the matter?

Because of this, when the officers and soldiers attacked Mengmengliang that day, several checkpoints were all empty, which also made Jiang Yunde, who had done enough defense and camouflage skills, a little surprised, but even though he ruled out the possibility of a trap, he signaled his subordinates to attack with all their might. Facts have proved that dawn is the best time for people to sleep, and no one expected that the officers and soldiers would attack at such a time, except for a few who patrolled the mountains and shouted warnings and were cut down, most of the others were dragged out of the bed by the wolf-like officers and soldiers almost without even touching their weapons, and only a few people were killed by random arrows because of their stubborn resistance.

The house that Bin Hong picked by himself was in a good terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and behind the window was a hidden mountain path, and when the officers and soldiers were shouted everywhere, he jumped out of the window without even having time to put on his shirt. However, he had only taken a few steps down the path when his knee was slammed into the crook of his knee by a heavy object, and he stumbled to his knees and fell to the ground. When he reacted, he felt a chill in his neck, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a bright steel knife on his shoulder.

The officers and soldiers moved so fast?

For a moment, he only felt that the roots of his sweat and hairs stood up, but as soon as he saw the man with a knife and mocking his face, he immediately gave birth to a glimmer of hope - this white-faced man was the first guy to do it during the fight last night, as long as it was a personal grudge and not a public vendetta, then he still had hope. At that moment, he hurriedly smiled and said: "This warrior, the officers and soldiers have already attacked, if you think that my first behavior is inappropriate, how about we escape down the mountain?" The swords and arrows of officers and soldiers don't have eyes, let's ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a disdainful smile on the other man's face that seemed to mock, and then he was hit the back of the neck, and when he fell headlong, he only had time to hear a mutter.

"Who is with us?"

As early as when there was a slight movement outside, Peng Shisan, who had been vigilant all night, jumped out of bed and kicked open the door, knocked over the four guards with a thunderous fist, and ran out after giving a command to the others in the room. He has been here these days, and he knows the places where his weapons, food, and drinking water are stored clearly, and he knows the residences of the chiefs everywhere, so that he can wait for the rabbit at the back window of Binhong's house like an unpredictable prophet.

After all, the official army is just a person who grabs other people, and if such a key person is gone, he will be in vain.

With deliberate calculations and the choice of the good time of dawn, the officers and men undoubtedly won a complete victory, and almost unscathed the stockade, which had just had a little weather. More than a dozen leader-level figures were all tied up into rice dumplings and thrown on the ground in the council hall, and more were guarded by heavily armed officers and soldiers, but some of them were beaten with a knife on the back. Only Xu Er and the others were "internal responses", and there were not many people guarding on all sides, and everyone was also sitting honestly.

"Twenty-seven were beheaded, and three hundred and twenty-four were captured alive, of whom thirty-two were old and weak, women and children. Of the men I brought with me, only seven were wounded, and all of them were lightly wounded, which was a surprising result. ”

Faced with such a result, Jiang Yun glanced at Zhang Yue, thinking that this time it was really bloodless, and he couldn't help but sigh again: "Fortunately, this time it is to take advantage of their unstable foothold to exterminate them first, otherwise if they recruit enough people and combine several villages together, this will be a big trouble." It's just that Lord Zhang, shouldn't there be more of this? ”

Hearing this question, Zhang Yue couldn't help but look at Peng Shisan, and saw that someone with a white face and beard was smiling honestly, so he had no choice but to cough dryly: "If it weren't for the fact that Lao Peng led those people to make a fuss at several checkpoints for a while yesterday, this gang of bandits would not be completely defenseless." In addition, they were all lured up the mountain, and they had already had the intention to go home, so naturally they could not be regarded as accomplices, and the two words should be considered appropriate. ”

Bin Hong, who was gagged on the ground, saw that Zhang Yue was speaking confidently, and gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but he couldn't speak, at most he struggled twice. And Jiang Yun just asked, his credit has been earned, so naturally there is no need to argue with Zhang Yue. Although he was young, he had also dealt with two Japanese robbers in Denglai and other places, and he had always been indifferent to the act of killing, but at this time he felt that Zhang Yue was too merciful.

At this time, since they were all in the net, after Zhang Yue and Jiang Yun discussed, he immediately sent two Liu Zhong's borrowed family members to report to the Dusi Yamen, and then began to officially sort the prisoners. After all, there are now more prisoners than sergeants, and although all of them are unarmed and have their hands and feet tied, it would be a big mess if they mutinied.

Since it was considered an internal response, Xu Er and the others were only tied to their right hands, so when Peng Shisan strode over with his waist knife, they couldn't help but squint their eyes. The clothes are still the same, and the face is still white and beardless, but the kindness of the past has become a sharp murderous aura. Some of the thirty-two people were closer to him, and some only knew that there was such a person who dared to lead everyone to "rise up and resist", but they were all stunned for a moment.

"Traitor!"

Although the voice was not loud, as soon as the man's voice fell, he felt a figure flash in front of him, and immediately after, something cold and cold was attached to his neck. At that moment, he almost stopped breathing, swallowed all the other curses that came to his mouth, and could only barely force his eyes to look at the tall guy in front of him with angry eyes.

"Da Ming law, all robbers and prisoners are beheaded. If they hadn't been taken prisoner by them, and the tenants had escaped on their own, they would not have been guilty of death, but now they would have lost their lives. If there is a rebellion, then all three generations of the family over the age of 16 will die, are you going to count it as an accomplice to the robbery of prisoners to receive the death penalty, or are you going to count it as a rebellion and bring the whole family to death? ”

These words were all asked by Peng Shisan before he came, so it was natural that Zhen Zhen had a remark, and when he saw that the young man's body trembled slightly, he withdrew his waist knife angrily. Glancing in all directions again, he shouted in a low voice: "Now it's the busy summer season, some of you are sons of man, and some are the heads of the family, just leave your wives and children and parents to follow others to do things without hesitation?" Use your brains before doing things, today you can be counted as having made meritorious contributions and can reduce your guilt, but if you are rebellious, when the officers and soldiers come, you deserve to lose your head! ”

Zhang Yue, who was standing at the door of the conference hall, saw Peng Shisan go there and take a turn, and dozens of the strongest men there lowered their heads one after another, and immediately sighed. However, looking at the other people around him who were tied up in a string of grasshoppers waiting for death, he couldn't help but groan in his heart. If it is counted as the White Lotus Sect's rebellion, most of these people will definitely die, and if they are only counted as mountain bandits, the crime is much lighter. Even so, the severity of the crime was not within his grasp.

At the moment, he could only mutter in his heart what kind of article he should go back and concoct. Now in the peaceful and prosperous era praised by everyone in the court, from the Son of Heaven to the courtiers, they probably don't want to make a vigorous case of bandits, and this is the only opportunity to take advantage of.

At dawn, the top and bottom of the stone unloading shed were already completely stopped, and in Qingzhou City, Du Juan went out and took a black oil car, and went straight to the Yamen of the capital to ask to see Liu Zhong, the commander of the capital. But a quarter of an hour later, the little guy who had passed the rumor ran back in a puff of smoke, and said respectfully that the adults were affectionate. The Dusi Yamen was more than twice as big as the Mansion Yamen, and it took her a lot of effort to walk from the West Gate to the Liu Family Mansion, and when she came to the hall and saw a person sitting in Liu Zhong's first guest seat, she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Daddy?"

Du Zhen was dressed in a cyan gauze robe, if he didn't look closely, he would only think that he was a middle-aged official of the Dusi Yamen. Seeing Du Juan, he just nodded slightly, and then said: "I and Liu Dushuai have counted the things that your senior brother asked you to report, don't worry, it doesn't matter over there." Since you are here, Liu Dushuai will send a few people to you, you let them guard the Meng family well, and I have other arrangements here. ”

Although Du Zhen said it lightly, Du Juan instinctively felt that something was wrong at this time, and when she was about to open her mouth, she saw Liu Zhong also instruct her: "Niece Xian, let's go back first, you still don't understand Ling Zun's temper?" ”

Du Xuan's father's stubborn temper naturally understood, but she understood that it was one and the same, so she wanted to raise an objection, but she saw that the expression on Du Zhen's face was clearly unquestionable, even if she was incomprehensible and dissatisfied, she could only force it down at this time. Before leaving the hall, she glanced back uneasily, but wondered when her father had arrived.

As soon as she left, the two people in the hall glanced at each other, Liu Zhong's face was full of helplessness, and Du Zhen still had the expression of an eternal frozen iceberg. After being silent for a long time, Liu Zhong reluctantly sighed: "Brother Du really thought about it?" Jinyiwei and we are not under the same unit, even if the news is sent over this time, it is difficult to guarantee that it must be reliable, do you really want me to send troops? ”

"Liu Dushuai, Zhang Yue has already brought people to the unloading stone shed, if the net is closed at that end, the bandits in other places in Anzhi will not react? Eliminate the evil, do not move at this time, just afraid that raising tigers in the future will cause trouble, then there will be endless troubles. Before I came to Shandong, I had a special order, and the responsibility for this matter was borne by me alone, and Liu Dushuai only sent troops at my request. ”

Liu Zhong is not a timid person, but the brocade-clothed guard Mu Zhenfu also said something to Du Zhen alone, and he was really a little uneasy. Thinking about the consequences of allowing the White Lotus Sect demons to stir up trouble, he finally made up his mind.

"I'm just checking again, everyone is in tune, and now the arrow has to be sent on the string, do I have a way back?"
