Chapter 071: Bandits in Xiantan Village
At this time, it was already a watchday, and the catchers of the fishing squad had already let go of the ya. At this point in time, either the wife and children at home are hot on the kang, or they are going to make an appointment with fox friends and dog friends to find a wine shop to drink and eat meat.
It took Song Genhai half an hour to finally Zhang Luoqi and ten people to catch them quickly, and led them to the downstairs of the East Gate City to meet Cui Geng.
As for Cui Geng's request for him to go to the handyman class to secondment the fast horse, it is difficult.
He was so talkative that he took the name of the county lieutenant to talk about things, so he took the slip from the county Cheng Chen Ziang and borrowed three horses. I really don't complain about Chen Ziang's stinginess, and I can't blame Chen Ziang for deliberately making things difficult, but the Qingyuan County Ya is too poor.
The whole county government has only raised three horses, two of which are specially used for errands at the post station, mainly to deliver letters from the state government and newspapers; As for the other horse, he still unloaded the cover of the carriage of the county government and made it up.
There is a huge Qingyuan County Ya, and there are only three horses under the piecing together, Cui Geng feels bitter when he thinks about it.
Song Genhai said pitifully: "Lord County Lieutenant, I only found three horses, and the others borrowed some mules from the miscellaneous labor class, and barely used them to travel." ”
But no, in addition to leading the horses, the group of hunters also drove a group of mules, and Yu Yu screamed for a while.
Cui Geng swept his eyes roughly, shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "I don't blame you, I only blame our Qingyuan County Ya for being too shabby." Song catchers, horses run faster than mules, you take two catchers and ride to Putian County first. The officer and the other catchers will ride the mules, and it is estimated that it will be more than an hour later than you. ”
"What's going to happen then? Where can the county lieutenant ride a mule? It's not in order! ”
Song Genhai fiddled with his hands left and right, and said: "My lord, this horse runs fast and steady, not to mention that the mule runs slowly, and it is very stupid, and it will be bumpy on the road, and its buttocks hurt!" You'd better ride a horse! ”
The corners of Cui Geng's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he politely refused: "It's okay, slow down, slow down, the official will ride a mule!" ”
Song Genhai still shook his head and waved his hand, and insisted: "No, no, let the county lieutenant ride a mule, and we ride a horse, this is not in accordance with the rules!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Cui Geng glared at Song Genhai and said in a low voice: "Lao Tzu doesn't know how to ride a horse, run to Putian County at night, do you want to fall to death Lao Tzu?" Hurry up, you ride horses, Lao Tzu rides mules steadily! ”
Song Genhai: "......"
It is true that horseback riding is a technical job, and there are tricks, and it is basically difficult for people who have never ridden to go up and get down.
As for riding a mule? That's really not technical, after all, mules are used to carrying things, and carrying people is too normal, as long as you look at the road when you ride on it, and throw the whip in time.
Soon, Cui Geng asked Hu San'er, who was on night duty in the city tower, to open the east gate, and Song Genhai turned over and took the other two horses out of the east gate first.
Cui Geng and the other eight catchers did not delay, they all rode mules and drove away, went out of the east gate, and went straight to the direction of Xiantan Village.
Because if you want to go to Putian County, you have to take the three-way road outside Xiantan Village.
……
……
By the time of the two watches, Cui Geng and his party had already crossed the three-way intersection of Xiantan Village, chose Zuoguan Road, and went straight to Putian County. It is estimated that in two hours, almost three watches, it should be able to reach Putian County.
And in Xiantan Village, where they passed by and did not enter, it was a different situation at this time.
Since the last fake wine incident, only a few families in Xiantan Village have moved out, and it has completely become a deserted village with no people.
But tonight in Xiantan Village, there is movement again.
Several piles of bonfires on the barn were lit sizzling, the flames were shining, the meat was fragrant, and the people were boiling.
About forty or fifty people gathered around several campfires in the threshing floor, roasting lambs, drinking wine, and laughing after drinking wine from time to time.
There were three people sitting on one of the campfires, but the lambs on the grill were the largest of them, and the wine jars were the largest, as if the few people around the campfire had a special place among the forty or fifty.
The man sitting in the center of the three was a thin, one-eyed dragon wearing an eye patch, who was supposed to be the leader of the group.
The one-eyed dragon opened his clothes, picked up the wine jar with both hands, raised his head and poured a few sips, and then took the mutton that the people around him sliced off the grill for him, put it in his mouth and tore it, chewing the mutton while muttering: "Cool, these days I have been hiding in Tibet, I haven't eaten so cool for a long time!" ”
"Hehe, no, I didn't expect that there is such a village at the junction of Putian County and Qingyuan County." The short man who was slicing the mutton for the one-eyed dragon also drank two sips of spirits, smashed his mouth and said, "It's still the boss who thinks thoughtfully and leads us to find this hidden Zhuangzi." And there is no one in this village, so we are not afraid of leaking our whereabouts! ”
"Yes, it's still the boss who is wise! I've had a good night's sleep in the past two days! Another strong-looking man by the campfire rubbed his waist and replied.
"You two know a fart, how did Lao Tzu know that this is a deserted village?"
The one-eyed dragon spat and spit the sheep bones in his mouth on the ground, looked at the two subordinates beside him, and said, "Bantam tiger, big buffalo, you two don't have to pat Lao Tzu's ass!" Lao Tzu came here to take the brothers to slaughter this village, and then robbed the women in the village, so that the brothers could open meat together. Damn, I didn't think about it, this is a fucking ghost village! ”
The bantam tiger is the short man who just slice the mutton for the one-eyed dragon, and as for the big buffalo, it naturally refers to the man who grows strong.
"The boss is benevolent, it's all this time, and I still think that the brothers haven't touched a woman for a long time!" The bantam is another unmarked sycophant.
But the big buffalo shook his head, threw the leg of mutton bone stick in his hand on the ground, and said disapprerovitically: "Boss, women are not interested, as long as there is wine and meat, and you can sleep peacefully, you will be very comfortable!" ”
The bantam tiger is different from the big buffalo, since he was driven out of Longxi County by Dong Yan, the commander of Longxi County, and the soldiers of Quanzhou Mansion were driven out of Longxi County, he has not touched a woman. A few days ago, they ransacked a village outside Putian County, and finally robbed a woman who was passable, but I didn't expect that woman to be so strong, and before he could take off his pants, the woman chewed her tongue and committed suicide!
Later, I hid for a while, not to mention women, and even three meals a day to fill my stomach became a problem.
The day before yesterday, I found this place in Xiantan Village, I thought there could be a woman, but every time I thought about it, there was no one in this village, it was a ghost village!
Women, women, bantams who haven't tasted women for a long time, scratch their hearts and lungs every night when they sleep, and they are greedy for women!
He listened to the words of the big buffalo, and couldn't help but scold for a while, damn, you foodie doesn't understand the taste of a woman's ecstasy, Lao Tzu is hungry!
Then, he asked the one-eyed dragon in a low voice, "Boss, how long are we going to stay in this Xiantan Village this time?" ”
"How long?"
The one-eyed dragon picked up the wine jar and took another sip, wiped his mouth, and said with a sneer: "Didn't you find that the geographical location of Xiantan Village is very good?" Half a mile away from the village is the three-way crossing, which not only leads to Putian County, but also arrives at Qingyuan County, and the official road can also go straight to the capital of Quanzhou. Tsk, now this village is a deserted village, as long as a few secret posts are set up at the entrance of the village, damn, it can be our nest if it is occupied. ”
"Yes, yes," said the big buffalo with a nod of his head, "don't run around anymore, the brothers haven't slept in peace these days, and this place is very good." ”
"You know a," said the bantam, glaring at the buffalo, "we can't stay in this deserted village forever, can we?" Let's gather a total of 50 people, this is 50 mouths, how long can the cattle, sheep and grain stolen a few days ago last? ”
After listening to the bantam tiger's words, the one-eyed dragon nodded slightly and asked, "Ah Hu, you are in charge of cattle, sheep and rice grain, and you know the details of our own family." Tell me, how many more days can we last? ”
Bantam said: "It can last for about seven or eight days." ”
"That's not okay, it's not okay to sit and eat empty, or reduce the rations of the brothers?" The one-eyed dragon rubbed his brow rather confusedly.
The big buffalo was the first to shake his head and objected: "Boss, this is not good, the brothers originally followed us to live a life of licking blood with knives, so they tried to eat meat and drink a lot of wine. If they can't even fill their stomachs, why are they willing to follow us as bandits? ”
"Yes, the buffalo is right," the bantam chimed in, agreeing, "Boss, the brethren have been doing unwell, but they are still living in peace, aren't they?" Now that you're following us as a mountain bandit, tying your head to your belt, can you still keep them fed and drunk? This reduction in food rations will make people's hearts unstable! ”
Speaking of this, Bantam swallowed his saliva and continued: "Besides, even if the brothers' rations are reduced, it won't last a few more days, after all, we have no income, and we are always sitting on empty seats, aren't we?" My subordinate has a suggestion! ”
The one-eyed dragon listened to the bantam's analysis, nodded frequently, and said, "Let's have a lot of ideas for you, say, what do you suggest?" ”
Bantam said: "Didn't you say it just now, boss?" Half a mile away from the village is the three-way crossing. Putian County, we have fought an autumn breeze, this time it should be Qingyuan County's turn, right? I've heard that the officials of Qingyuan County are not as fast as the Putian County Ya. Let's just go directly into the city, grab money, food, and women, and do it if you want to do it, and one vote is enough for our brothers to live in peace for a whole year! How is it? ”
When the big buffalo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "If you want it, Ah Hu said that my blood is boiling, yes, if you want to do it, you can do it, rob the big households in the city, and then smash the gate of the Qingyuan County Ya, and rob their granaries and treasury!" ”
"And women!" Bantam added heavily.
The one-eyed dragon was silent......
After a long time, he took a breath of strong wine and said, "If the Qingyuan County Ya is really as unbearable as you say, you can do it!" But in the past few days, we have frequently committed crimes in Longxi County and Putian County, and I am afraid that the Qingyuan County Ya has already received the rumors and has taken precautions! Moreover, we are not familiar with the situation in Qingyuan County, the first few times we did not dare to enter Longxi County, did not dare to enter Putian County, is it because there is no internal line in the city, do not understand the specific situation in the city! ”
"Don't know what's going on in the city?"
Bantam scratched his head, he knew the one-eyed dragon was telling the truth. The first few lootings were also in the villages on the periphery of the county, and the biggest one was in Longxi County, but because there was no inner line, I didn't understand the specific situation in Longxi County, such as how to distribute the garrison force, where the big families were, and where the county government gate was opened, and finally suffered a big loss!
The team of sixty people was actually begged by the county commander surnamed Dong in Longxi County to come to Fucheng for reinforcements, and finally they lost eight or nine people.
Syllable!
The big buffalo slapped his forehead and grinned and shouted, "What are you thinking?" Aren't you just familiar with the people in Qingyuan County? Don't we have one ready-made? ”
The one-eyed dragon looked at the big buffalo with one eye and asked, "Who?" ”
Bantam Tiger also thought of it at this time, and smiled happily: "Buffalo, do you mean that this morning, the scholar surnamed Fang who was captured by our brothers at the three forks?" ”
"That's right!"
The buffalo nodded and shouted, "This is the man, good fellow, he has three hundred pieces of silver in his baggage." It's definitely a big family, otherwise why would you bring so much silver out of the city? He must have known the situation in Qingyuan County. ”
"Where is this man now?" The one-eyed dragon's face also showed joy.
The big buffalo turned sideways, pointed to a hut around the threshing floor, and said, "I was tied up to death, and I was locked up in that broken hut!" ”
The one-eyed dragon stood up suddenly, patted the bantam on the shoulder, kicked the leg of the big buffalo sitting cross-legged, and beckoned, "Let's go, let's go and meet this scholar surnamed Fang!" ”
