Chapter Eighty-Six: Money Can Make Ghosts Grind
Zhu Fu's speed was very fast, and it didn't take three days to get what Cheng Xiaolian said, but now that the mountain is closed, there is no place to buy quicklime, and there is not a lot of inventory on the mountain, so the quicklime disinfection has to be postponed for the time being.
Two rows of houses were built on the southwest side of the hill, which are said to be toilets, one row for men and one row for women. The women on the mountain all felt that this decision was simply wise and powerful, otherwise it was really inconvenient to be convenient, and they had to be watched by people every time, and they were terrified for fear of having a reputation for invirginity, although they were bandits, but they couldn't jump out of the circle of secular etiquette.
But the men on the mountain didn't think so, whoever wanted to find a convenient place where no one was convenient, why did they have to run to that house, and how embarrassing it was to be convenient for so many people to be together.
But soon someone suffered, Zhu Fu led the patrol team to inspect day and night, as long as someone was not in the toilet, he grabbed the first whip and whipped it. This method was not invented by Cheng Xiaolian, it was the method used when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing, Cheng Xiaolian learned it in advance, of course, in his heart, he would not let anything happen in the future when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing.
This whip will not hurt the muscles and bones on the body, but it hurts, and in less than five days, no one has been able to go anywhere, even if they get up at night, and they all run to the newly built toilet. There's no way around it, who wants to be whipped while drowsy and peeing outside the house?
Of course, Zhu Fu doesn't know what the principle is, but he has always done the things that Cheng Xiaolian explained very neatly, because he always trusts Cheng Xiaolian unconditionally.
On the other hand, Yuan Zonghao also immediately attacked the gang of bandits, taking advantage of the dark and windy night of a month, he killed the cottage with lightning speed, not only killed everyone, but also threw all the corpses into the mountain.
The time is urgent, it must be too late to surrender, Yuan Zonghao has no mercy on his subordinates, of course, he is a thief when he goes up the mountain, and his head is pinned to his belt, so he has no guilt.
On the third day, a large wave of bandits gathered in front of the cottage, ready for them to fight if they did not come down the mountain and surrendered.
But after shouting a few words, there was no reaction at all in the cottage, and the leaders of several cottages ordered to attack the mountain in a fit of anger, and then they found that the entire cottage was nothing except the blood stains on the ground.
They suddenly felt a chill in their backs, if they couldn't hand over these people, the officers and troops under the mountain would really fight, and then those of them who were close to the mountain pass would definitely become scapegoats.
Then they suddenly remembered a rumor that had been circulating on the mountain for the past two days, Wu Sangui was going to destroy the bandits on the mountain in the name of revenge, and then let the Burmese in and let them deal with the Manchus together.
Thinking of this, one of the big bosses said: "Now, we only have one chance to live." Only by convincing everyone that King Pinxi is going to unite with the Burmese will we have a chance. ”
Several other big bosses nodded one after another, and one person stood up: "It's just that we all live on the side of the mountain, will others think we are alarmists when we say it?" ”
"I can't take care of so much, if they don't believe it, for the sake of face, the officials and soldiers under the mountain will definitely take us under the knife, and we won't be able to live at that time, so it's better to fight to the death, besides, each of us has a few good friends, are you afraid that no one will support us?"
"Support us? Could it be that we really want to go against King Pingxi? ”
"Hmph, aren't there Burmese people over there? Can't we afford to provoke King Pingxi, and can't we afford to provoke them? ”
Several people's eyes lit up: "Yes, we have dealt with the Burmese people, and there are many people who can't help but beat them, if you can unite the people on the mountain to do it to them, you will definitely be able to find a way to live, and when the time comes, hide in Burma, is it possible that the king of Pingxi will remove the trouble from the battlefield in front of us to find us?" ”
After a few people finished discussing, they immediately began to act, began to contact their friends, they live on the side of the mountain, although there is a risk, but there is also convenience, no family has to cross their way before entering the mountain, if there is no friendship, why let you live in vain? At your own risk, you can't pay a toll?
Therefore, generally every family has a few good friends, who can be exempted from tolls, of course, they dare not accept forces like ten thousand enemies.
As soon as they contacted the mountain, they immediately began to fry the pot, their meaning was very simple, if everyone agreed to that simple, they would go to Burma together, if they didn't agree, they would fight their way out of the encirclement, and the officers and soldiers here would like to find whomever they wanted.
Immediately, Cheng Xiaolian and Confucius, the leaders of the bandits, stood up and expressed their support for this decision.
Several bandit leaders were moved to tears, they originally thought that Cheng Xiaolian and Confucius were two wicked people, but they didn't expect that most of the brothers on the mountain were righteous, and this friend was decided.
Of course, most of the thieves make friends and say that most of them are just to stab you twice at a critical time, so they generally don't have any brothers who share life and death, and several bandits are reluctant to leave the nest on the mountain, so they immediately rejected their proposal.
In the end, there were thirty bandits on the mountain, and only three of them agreed to go with them, including Cheng Xiaolian and Confucius, and their gang together was only eight bandits, and several bandit leaders were very unhappy: "Grandma, when I first crossed the mountain, I said that although I greeted the sword mountain and the sea of fire, now I don't dare to let go of a fart, Lao Tzu is really blind." ”
"Who says it's not, hey, it's better to believe less of our bandits."
One of the bandits scratched his head: "But we only have 2,000 people together, and it is easy to break out of the encirclement, in case the Burmese army surrounds us, we will be dead." Otherwise, let's not leave. ”
"Fart, if you don't leave, do you want to fight with the people of King Pingxi? I'd rather fight with a Burmese soldier than with a man from the king of Pingxi, who are man-eating brutes. ”
A few thieves swayed, but Cheng Xiaolian stood up at this time: "I don't know if a few big brothers can listen to me?" ”
"Brother Cheng said, several of us know that you are righteous, and we will listen to you whatever you say."
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, a few eldest brothers are the big heroes of righteousness, the younger brother is not counted, the people on the mountain don't leave, but they don't know the horror of the official army yet, it's better to let them fight?" ”
A thief sighed: "We want to too, but how can things be so simple, how can the officers and soldiers be willing to go far and leave their backs to us to deal with those wolf-hearted guys inside?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind." ”
