Chapter 8: Fighting wits and courage

"Surround them, don't let them run."

"That's right, as long as you trap them, wait for Steward Han and them to come over, and decide whether to attack or not."

……

Zhang Ergouzi saw a group of naked and naked tenants outside through the crack in the door, holding flat poles, hoes and other farm tools in their hands, with an anxious look on their faces.

"Brother Wei, what now?" Zhang Ergouzi turned his face and asked Wei Hong.

"These people outside are all tenants in Liujiazhuang, they are unorganized and have poor weapons, but the trouble is that there are too many of them, and if we rush out now, it is easy to have an accident in the chaos.

We will wait here, and wait for the big boss to come over and join us after dealing with it, if the big boss can successfully kill that Han steward, then these tenants will be leaderless and no one to command, so they should disperse by themselves. ”

Wei Hong next to him seemed quite real, in this case, he still calmly commanded more than 20 young and strong bandits under his command to guard this granary and prevent the tenants outside from rushing in.

"Fortunately, I moved quickly and moved the weapons and armor hidden in Liu Laocai's warehouse in time, otherwise if we let these guys outside get it now, none of us would want to leave today."

Zhang Ergouzi was also a little proud of his actions at this time, and said to himself.

At this time, Wei Hong led people to seize the only granary in Liujiazhuang, and the action of collecting carts to carry grain had been discovered by the people in the village.

So the tenant men who came out of the nest everywhere grabbed the flat pole and hoe from the house and rushed out, and surrounded Wei Hong and others in this granary.

Because Zhang Ergouzi moved out the warehouse of weapons in Liujiazhuang in advance, these tenants have spare money to build weapons on weekdays, and they can't eat enough.

On weekdays, once something happens, he will go to the warehouse to get weapons, and those weapons are all built at Liu Laocai's expense, just to send them to the tenants for defense once Zhuangzi is attacked by bandits, but these weapons must be handed over on weekdays.

There was no organization, no weapons, and though the tenants were numerous, two or three hundred, all of them strong men, none dared to break in.

And Wei Hong's side also immediately changed shotguns after getting all kinds of weapons and armor carried by Zhang Ergouzi and others, and with these sophisticated weapons in hand, they guarded various dangerous positions in the granary.

For a while, the two sides formed a confrontation situation, and the tenants who had a large number of people outside did not dare to rush in, and immediately Wei Hong and others did not dare to rush out.

"Big boss, we arrived, many people surrounded the granary, all of them were tenants in the village, I don't think the situation is good!" Soon, Li Zixiao also rushed to the granary with Dong Zhuang and quartz.

"Well, it's a problem, it's a problem that there are too many of them. But it doesn't matter, I'm now eighty percent sure that I can successfully steal a batch of grain and leave Zhuangzi tonight. ”

Li Zixiao saw the dense crowd outside the granary, his expression was solemn, but after observing for a while, his expression was relieved again, and he said to Dong Zhuang.

"Big boss, what are we going to do now?" At this time, Dong Zhuang really had no choice, and he pinned all his hopes on Li Zixiao.

"Brother Quartz, go, come out with me. And Dong Zhuang, you immediately run to Zhuangkou and inform Zhou Dazhu to be ready to pick us up at any time to ensure that our back road continues. Go ahead. ”

After Li Zixiao finished speaking, under the protection of quartz, he swaggered out of the corner of the street, while Dong Zhuang went to Zhuangkou to find Zhou Dazhu to report the news.

"Quartz, remember to protect the safety of the big boss, and never let the big boss have an accident." When Dong Zhuang's departure, he didn't forget to tell Quartz.

"I know, with me, no one can hurt the big boss." Quartz said quietly, shaking the horizontal flesh on his face, which was very scary.

But Li Zixiao looked at Quartz at this time and was very grateful, it was with the brother who had just been accepted by his side that he had the courage to come out and face the hundreds of tenants.

And the existence of quartz has increased the success rate of Li Zixiao's operation tonight by more than 30%, but if tonight's operation to rob grain is successful, quartz and Dong Zhuang are the real heroes.

"Who? Ah......h

Quartz escorted Li Zixiao out of behind the tenant crowd, and was soon discovered, and the person who found them first shouted vigilantly, and then when he saw Quartz's head-covered outfit, he screamed in fright.

And this person's exclamation directly attracted the attention of more than two hundred people in front, and when they turned around and saw that Quartz was hanging on his head at this time, holding a blood-dripping spear in his hand, and he was covered in blood, he was also so frightened that his face turned pale.

For a while, the tenants who were still noisy and shouting how to rush in and kill these bandits were silent, and some worried people couldn't help but vomit directly on the ground when they saw Quartz's head hanging all over his body.

"He's ...... It's quartz, he ...... ...... on the body Those heads are Steward Han...... and Liu's Nursing Hospital. Someone still recognized Quartz, and the owner of the heads hanging in front of him, and said in a trembling voice.

"It's really Steward Han and Guardian Liu, they are bandits, they killed Steward Han and Guardian Liu, and Quartz also joined the bandits."

"That's right, I'm the bandit leader, my name is Li Zixiao." At this time, Li Zixiao walked out from behind Quartz, very calmly, facing a group of frightened men opposite, and said with a smile.

"Yes, the big boss, it's the big boss who is here." At this time, Zhang Ergouzi, who was standing on a wall in the granary, also saw Li Zixiao's arrival and shouted to Wei Hong next to him.

"Well, I can see it, it seems that the big boss's action has been successful, go, take the brothers out, we have to cooperate with the big boss's action."

So, at this time, Wei Hong rushed out of the granary with more than 20 young and middle-aged bandits, holding sophisticated spears and knives in their hands, and wearing sturdy leather armor.

Wei Hong led people to rush out of the grain, and happened to block more than 200 tenant men in the middle with Li Zixiao and Quartz outside.

In fact, at this time, Li Zixiao's composure was completely pretended, and he was also worried that the appearance of quartz would not be able to deter the group of men opposite.

If these people really rushed over now, one person and one punch would be enough to kill him, but at present, it seems that he arranged the shock appearance of quartz, which is still very effective, and deters this group of people.

"This is the head of your housekeeper Han Qingshan, who is usually powerful, bullying men and women, and wantonly accumulating wealth." As he spoke, Li Zixiao directly untied Han Qingshan's head from his quartz belt and threw it on the ground.

Han Qingshan's head rolled to a group of tenants with a grunt, and they were so frightened that they retreated, these people had been pulling dirt in the ground all their lives, where had they ever seen such a bloody human head!

It's just that no one saw that when Li Zixiao untied the quartz belt on Han Qingshan's head with his hand, his hand was actually trembling all the time, and this was also the first time he touched the head, and he couldn't help it.

"Liu Laocai's reputation for being rich and unkind has long spread, and I don't know how many poles are eyeing you. Moreover, Han Qingshan, an old immortal, oppressed you on weekdays, and even more harmed my Dong Zhuang's family.

Today, it was Brother Dong Zhuang who brought us back to take revenge, otherwise Brother Quartz would not be on our side, we will only kill Han Qingshan on this trip, and we will not implicate you.

However, there is also a shortage of food in our cottage now, and if we don't bring back a batch of food, they will all starve to death, so we can only rob Liu Laocai's food.

However, rest assured, we will only take half of the grain in the granary, and leave the remaining half to you to dispose of, and you can completely divide it, and each family should get a lot.

When the time comes, if Liu Laocai comes back and asks, you will say that this batch of grain has been all stolen by our bandits in Mangdang Mountain. ”

After listening to Li Zixiao's words, the group of men opposite began to talk to each other and talk to each other.

The tragic experience of Dong Zhuang's family some time ago, they also knew that Dong Zhuang, like them, was once a tenant of Liujiazhuang, and in the end, because he collided with Han Qingshan, he was expelled from Zhuangzi and ended up with a wife and a broken family.

It also aroused the indignation of these tenants, and they also understood why Quartz was on the side of the bandits at this time.

Moreover, Li Zixiao only took half of the grain, and even took out half of the grain to buy these tenants, which suddenly made many of these tenants think.

However, at this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd opposite, looked very angry, pointed at Li Zixiao and scolded: "You bandit, you are justified in killing, and you want to steal our food, you have robbed all the food, what we eat, our family will starve to death, we don't agree." ”

"Yes, if you don't agree, you can't let them take away the food." As the middle-aged man shouted, the other tenants around him also responded.

At this time, Li Zixiao looked at the middle-aged man's eyes a little gloomy, and said coldly: "What if we kill people, we only kill rich people who are rich and unkind."

The grain that these rich people hoarded at home one by one was moldy and hairy, but they also increased our field rent, and forced us to a dead end.

Besides, the grain in the granary is Liu Laocai's, and he has a Mao relationship with you, and now Lao Tzu gives you half of the grain for nothing, and you don't know what to do.

It's really shameless, some people just can't get used to it, forcing Lao Tzu to be anxious, it's a big deal to lead the brothers to kill out, whoever stands in our way, we will use knives against him. Kill! ”

In the end, Li Zixiao roared at the middle-aged man, his expression was hideous and angry, and the middle-aged man staggered back.

"Kill!"

The quartz next to him also roared, shook his body, and all the heads pinned to his waist fell down one by one, rolling everywhere, and raised the blood-dripping spear in his hand.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The more than 20 heavily armed young bandits led by Wei Hong in the back also echoed their big boss at this time, chanting in unison.

And in the face of the fierce quartz in front, and the heavily armed and murderous bandits in the back, these tenants who usually only know how to work are really afraid.

Although they are numerous, it is obvious that no one can stand up and serve the people, they lack the backbone, the dragons have no leader, and they are scattered.

This is also why Li Zixiao wanted to kill Han Qingshan as soon as possible, because he has been accumulating power for a long time, and only he can organize this group of tenants to fight back in a short period of time.

And although there are many of them, they have no weapons, and all the weapons were moved away by Zhang Ergouzi in advance and distributed to his bandits.

These tenants are not willing to really fight with the bandits, they also have wives and children at home, and now this group of bandits did not kill their relatives or rob their food, why should they rush to find someone desperately at the cost of their lives, it is not that their heads are in water.

Moreover, it was Li Zixiao who came back to avenge the Dong Zhuang family as an excuse, which made many of these tenants sympathetic, and Li Zixiao promised to take only half of the grain, and was even willing to bear the reputation of robbing all the grain, which is equivalent to buying this group of people with the remaining half of the grain.

Li Zixiao's series of actions, carrots and sticks, finally completely deterred this group of tenants, and even the middle-aged man named Huan just now shrank into the crowd and hid.

At this time, Li Zixiao walked forward slowly with quartz, and when he walked forward, a passage suddenly separated in the crowd of tenants, and no one just stopped him.

Look at Li Zixiao's back, holding a spear, fierce and murderous, instantly ready to kill any quartz who dares to stop Li Zixiao, so that this group of people will not have the heart to resist.

Quartz's ability, these people also know it on weekdays, when it comes to fighting, no one is his opponent, and a quartz alone can deter them.

Li Zixiao walked directly through the crowd of tenants, divided them into two, and Wei Hong and the others who came came to him, and asked in a deep voice: "Is all the grain loaded into the car?" ”

Wei Hong, Zhang Ergouzi and others were also shocked by Li Zixiao's walk from the group of more than 200 enemies, and they felt endless admiration in their hearts.

At this time, only Li Zixiao knew how scared he was in his heart, the clothes inside his tattered cotton clothes had long been wet with sweat, and he was scared.

But on the surface, he still had to pretend to be calm and frighten this group of people, otherwise all the efforts of everyone in front of him would be in vain.

"We have carried nearly half of the grain in the granary, including a large number of weapons brought by Zhang Ergouzi, and some cotton clothes and cloths, etc., all of which have been loaded, and we have scavenged three carts from Liu Laocai, which is enough."

At this time, Wei Hong stood up and reported to Li Zixiao.

"Okay, everyone escort the cart and prepare to evacuate."

As Li Zixiao gave an order, Wei Hong and the others moved quickly, a total of three large carriages, loaded with food, weapons and some cotton clothes.

The carriage moved forward slowly, Li Zixiao stood alone on the carriage, Wei Hong, Zhang Ergouzi and Quartz and others, led other bandits to carefully guard both sides of the convoy, and slowly walked towards the outside of the village.

"God bless, don't have an accident, hold on, out of the village is victory." Li Zixiao roared in his heart at this time, and cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead.

As the convoy drove towards the outside of the village, followed by a group of tenants who were pressed by Hei Press, they didn't dare to rush up, but just watched Li Zixiao and them, hoping that they could leave Liujiazhuang as soon as possible.

When Li Zixiao and his entourage escorted three carts to the front of Liujiazhuang, Zhou Dazhu and Dong Zhuang hurriedly caught up, and they were also frightened by the black pressure group of people who followed behind them.

"Big boss, what's going on?" Zhou Dazhu asked Li Zixiao, who was walking vigilantly.

"Don't ask too much, let's talk about it first." Li Zixiao didn't say much, at this time he only had one thought, that is, to evacuate this Liujiazhuang as soon as possible.

"Yes."

Zhou Dazhu nodded and joined the ranks of protecting the convoy, Zhuangmen has always been under their control, Zhuangmen was wide open, and the convoy slowly drove out of Liujiazhuang.

When Li Zixiao and the others just walked out of the gate of Liujiazhuang, many tenants behind them immediately closed the door of the village.

"Don't look back, hurry up."

After the convoy completely left Liujiazhuang and walked far away, Li Zixiao, who had been standing in the car, instantly softened and collapsed directly on the car, feeling that he had no strength at all, and sweat soaked his cotton clothes.

"Damn, don't pretend to be B anymore, it turns out that pretending to be B is also very hard, I'm tired to death."

However, Li Zixiao looked at the two large truckloads of grain snatched from Liujiazhuang, as well as a large cart of weapons, cotton clothes, salt, medicinal materials and other things, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.

The first level he crossed over finally passed, he didn't have to be starved to death, and his life would be better in the future, he firmly believed!
