After listening to Chen Guangyi's speech, Wang Deqian blinked, immediately changed his smiling face, and said: "I see, okay, it's rare that you are still loyal to the court, okay, just take out all the wine and meat." ”

When Chen Guangyi heard this, he hurriedly ordered two carts to be pushed over, and each cart contained more than 10 cages of minced meat buns, 4 roast chickens, dozens of catties of cooked beef and two large jars of wine. And the servants are ordered to eat a little of everything to show that it is not poisonous.

Wang Deqian immediately ordered one of the carts to be pushed behind and sent to Xie Baosheng, and at the same time reported the incident to Xie Baosheng. Then he ordered his soldiers to divide the food and drink of another cart.

An ordinary soldier could only get 2 meat buns, a small piece of beef, and a bowl of wine. These drinks and food are still hot, and of course it is a good meal for the Qing soldiers who have been nibbling on cold cakes for several days in the continuous rain.

Wang Deqian also got a roast chicken, two pieces of beef, and a big bowl of wine, he got down from the war horse, found a big stone to sit down, tore off a chicken leg, chewed it in his mouth, and poured a few large sips of wine, and felt comfortable in his heart. At this time, Chen Guangyi had already come over with a big box and said, "This is 100 taels of silver, buy some tea for the military master, I don't respect sincerely, and please accept it with a smile." ”

Wang Deqian's eyes also flashed with greed, 100 taels of silver is not a small amount, and he hasn't made any oil and water along the way, it seems that he may be able to make a fortune here. Therefore, Wang Deqian took the silver, and while eating meat and drinking wine, he talked with Chen Guangyi, trying to find out the details of Chen Guangyi.

After eating the wine and meat, the soldiers who sent wine and meat to the army also returned, and brought Xie Baosheng's order, asking Wang Deqian to lead the team to Taishan Tun Village to station, ready to welcome the arrival of the army, and the army spent the night in Taishan Tun Village tonight.

After listening to Xie Baosheng's order, Wang Deqian immediately wiped his mouth and said to Chen Guangyi: "Okay, lead the way to your village." ”

Chen Guangyi hurriedly said: "Please come with the villain." ”

After a short time, Chen Guangyi took Wang Deqian and other Qing troops to the village, and Chen Zhizhong brought more than a dozen family members to greet him at the entrance of the village.

Wang Deqian dismounted on a vacant lot in front of Chen Zhizhong's house and said to Chen Zhizhong: "How many people are left in your village now?" ”

Chen Zhizhong said: "Back to the military master, there are now 37 families and 162 people left in the village. ”

Wang Deqian nodded and said: "It's rare that you are still concerned about the imperial court, I have already learned about General Xie, and he will also communicate to the governor's yamen, and after the bandits are eliminated, he will definitely reward you." ”

Chen Zhizhong hurriedly said: "I have worked hard for the military master's good words, the villain has prepared a banquet at home, and washed the dust for the military master, although it is just coarse tea and light rice, but it is also a little bit of the villain's heart, please follow the villain into the house." ”

Wang Deqian said: "This is not busy first, you gather all the remaining people in the village here, I have something to say." ”

When Chen Zhizhong heard this, he thought that Wang Deqian was going to give a lecture in public to appease the remaining villagers, so he didn't think much about it, and immediately arranged for his clansmen to go door to door to find people.

It didn't take long for the villagers to stand in front of the Chen family, and more than a dozen relatives of the Chen family also came, of course, some young female relatives of the Chen family still stayed in the house and did not come out, but it was almost the same. So Chen Zhizhong turned to Wang Deqian and said, "Master Jun, everyone has arrived." ”

Wang Deqian nodded, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Arrest these people." ”

Qing soldiers immediately rushed over from Liangzhi and surrounded the villagers, with rifles, spears and other weapons in their hands facing the villagers. All the villagers couldn't help but be shocked, and they all spoke to ask, Chen Zhizhong's face also changed greatly, he grabbed Wang Deqian, and said sharply: "You..... You...... What does this mean?"

Wang Deqian shook off Chen Zhizhong's hand and said: "You are clearly all comrades of the bandits, deliberately staying here in an attempt to murder this official, where do you know that this official has already seen through your tricks, and you still can't honestly tie your hands and arrest him?"

After all, Chen Zhizhong is a person who has been an official, and at this time, he still doesn't know what Wang Deqian's plans are, and he can't help but be shocked, angry and regretful, and said: "You are a bloody person, I want to go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue ......."

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked to the ground by Wang Deqian, and two Qing soldiers came over, with guns in turn, and hit Chen Zhizhong a few times, Chen Zhizhong is over 60 years old, and he can withstand such a beating, and he was immediately beaten to the ground, unable to move. At this time, in the crowd, Chen Zhizhong's sons Chen Guangyi and Chen Guangxin saw that their father was beaten, and they could bear it there, and the brothers pushed away the spears in front of them and rushed over to rescue their father.

However, the Qing soldiers were not polite to them, and several spears immediately pierced the two brothers' bodies, killing them instantly. This suddenly frightened everyone, and no one dared to resist any more, so he honestly followed the orders of the Qing soldiers, picked up Chen Zhizhong, who was beaten half to death, and entered an empty room, all of whom were imprisoned.

It turned out that Wang Deqian was a veteran oilman, and he was holding his breath to make a big profit before sending out the army, so he knew that this time he had sent troops for 4 or 5 days, although he had also passed through several villages, but each village had not even encountered a single person, everything was emptied, not even a grain of rice was left, and just now he also fished out the real bottom from Chen Guangyi's mouth, although the land of the Chen family was confiscated by the local government, but other property was still basically retained, so Wang Deqian started to think crookedly at that time, it seems that he can make a fortune here.

Although the Chen family is the home of the eunuchs, and there are still people serving in the Kaifeng Mansion, if it is on weekdays, Wang Deqian would never dare to attack the Chen family, but now it is different, it is wartime, and it is in the area controlled by the bandits, so how can it be an excuse to deal with the past, so before entering the village, Wang Deqian also discussed with his soldiers, and he did a vote in this village.

After taking the villagers into custody, Wang Deqian immediately ordered the soldiers to search the village from house to house for belongings.

As a result, not only did they find a large amount of money and materials, livestock, grain and other items, but also found more than a dozen female dependents of the Chen family. When Wang Deqian was counting the property found out, a thousand general manager came to him and said: "My lord, how to deal with these women of the Chen family, there are a few of them who look really good, if they are also locked up with other people, it would be a pity, it is better to let the brothers be happy and happy, the brothers specially left one for you, it is the granddaughter of the old thing, she is only 17 years old this year, and she is still the eldest daughter of Huanghua!"

Wang Deqian glared at him and said, "What's the hurry, you don't look like you're interested, haven't you seen a woman in your life?" First gather all the women, change the place to detain, tell the brothers, don't be busy making fun, General Soldier Xie will be there soon, first prepare to welcome General Soldier Xie, and then talk about it after General Soldier Xie is settled, I don't think I will have to live in this village for 2 or 3 days, and it is time to have fun. ”

Mr. Qian agreed and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

In the afternoon, the Henan Qing army marched into the village one after another, and at dusk, Xie Baosheng also led his troops to the village. Wang Deqian welcomed Xie Baosheng into the village and reported the situation to Xie Baosheng, saying that most of the villagers in the village had left, and only a few families remained, but these families were suspected of being bandits, so he had imprisoned the remaining villagers, and found some wine, meat and food in the village, which could make the whole army have a good meal.

After listening to Wang Deqian's words, Xie Baosheng didn't say anything, but just told Wang Deqian not to be careless, it's okay to eat a good meal, but not to drink too much, so as not to make a mistake.

At this time, Wang Deqian's soldiers had already slaughtered a few pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks and other domestic animals, and cooked rice and steamed buns, so in the evening, all the Qing soldiers had hot rice, and there was wine and meat. For the Qing soldiers who have worked hard for a few days, of course, they are very happy. And Wang Deqian took out some of the money and materials he had found and gave a copy to the main generals of the Qing army.

However, Wang Deqian did not send a copy to Xie Baosheng, it turned out that Xie Baosheng was an honest official, and never accepted bribes, although he led the army for more than 20 years, but not only did he have no savings, but also debts of 10,000 taels, when Xie Baosheng took office as the chief soldier of Hebei Town, the then governor of Henan Xiliang explained his affairs to the imperial court, and the imperial court ordered the treasurer to give Xie Baosheng 9,000 taels of silver to repay the debt. Wang Deqian knew Xie Baosheng's temperament and temperament, so he naturally did not dare to give Xie Baosheng a gift.

In fact, Wang Deqian did these things, although Xie Baosheng didn't ask, but he also guessed a lot, just pretending to be confused, although Xie Baosheng himself is an honest official, but Bi Jing has been in the army for more than 30 years, what kind of virtue are Qiu Ba, naturally he is transparent from the bottom of his heart. On weekdays, Xie Baosheng's army is still quite strict, and he will definitely prohibit his army from invading the people, and once it is found, it will be strict, but now the army he is bringing with only more than 3,000 people is directly led by Xie Baosheng, and although the rest of the army is under Xie Baosheng's control, Xie Baosheng cannot directly interfere in the internal affairs of these armies, so it is not easy to take care of it at this time.

And more importantly, it is wartime, and there have been 4 or 5 days to send troops, because of the continuous rain, and there are no people on the way, so the whole army is very tired, Xie Baosheng also knows that there are a lot of complaints in the army now, and now it is difficult to find a village that is inhabited, and it is inevitable to vent, if Xie Baosheng interferes at this time, stops the behavior of the soldiers, and even severely punishes the soldiers, it may cause a mutiny or a roar, which must not appear.

In addition, Xie Baosheng knows very well that this time to send troops, the first priority is to recruit and suppress bandits, and the rest are insignificant, if a few ordinary people are sacrificed in exchange for the stability of the army's morale, this is of course very cost-effective, so Xie Baosheng deliberately pretended to be confused, and did not ask about the imprisoned people.
