Chapter 247: Wangjiazhai (9)
Luo Yue walked into the Wang family's mansion, and at this time, Yang Rui, the company commander who was responsible for cleaning up the results of the battle, came over and saluted: "Battalion commander." β
Luo Yue said: "How about the casualties?"
Yang Rui said: "At present, for this reason, no of our soldiers have been found to be killed, but 12 people have been injured, but the injuries are not serious, and they have been simply bandaged and basically controlled the injuries." Further treatment will be carried out when the medical team arrives. β
Luo Yue nodded and said, "Very good, what are the results, have you caught the leaders of Wangjiazhai?"
Yang Rui said: "After counting, we killed a total of 71 people, found another 37 wounded, captured and arrested 147 people, most of them are old and weak, women and children, but did not find Wang Zhanyuan and his two sons, according to the confession of other prisoners, when we attacked Wangjiazhai, Wang Zhanyuan was in the village, and his eldest son Wang Kexing rushed to the cemetery early in the morning to check the situation of the cemetery, and the second Wang Kefu left Wangjiazhai last night and rushed back to Jiaozhou County. Therefore, I estimate that Wang Zhanyuan should still be hiding in Wang's village, and has not fled, and is preparing to send people to search in the village door to door. Among the other captives, the leaders of Wang Jiazhai include Wang Zhanyuan's brother Wang Zhanshan, cousin Wang Kejie, nephew Gao Peng, as well as Wang Zhanyuan's five little wives, and Wang Zhanyuan's eldest son Wang Kexing's wife, Ji Xiuzhu. In addition, there are two sect leaders, three gentlemen, and four captains, all of whom are considered to have some powerful people in Wangjiazhai. β
Luo Yue said: "Okay, you can search in the village, but you should pay attention to the action and don't scare the people." β
Liu Jian agreed and was about to act, when a platoon commander Liu Jian rushed over and said, "Battalion commander, there is a little girl who said that she knows that Wang Zhanyuan is hiding there, but she must see our biggest official to say it." β
Luo Yue also said a little: "Where is the little girl?"
Liu Jiandao: " According to herself, it was a maid of Wang Zhanyuan's eldest son, Wang Kexing, at that time, I was telling other soldiers that I couldn't find Wang Zhanyuan in the mansion, and I had to go to the people's houses outside to find it, when the female relatives of the Wang family were gathered on one side, she suddenly screamed in it, saying that she knew that Wang Zhanyuan was hiding there, and Wang Kexing's wife wanted to stop her at that time, but I restrained her and pulled her out of the female dependents, but she had to say that she wanted to see our biggest official before she was willing to say, I had lied to her that I was the biggest official, and I knew that she said that I was definitely not, that there were big officials mixed with small soldiers, and I was only a small leader at mostγ β
When Luo Yue and Yang Rui heard this, they couldn't help laughing, Yang Rui said: "Battalion commander, this little girl is a little interesting, let's go and take a look, if she really knows that Wang Zhanyuan is hiding there, we don't have to search door to door." β
Luo Yue nodded and said to Liu Jian, "Bring her over." β
After a while, Liu Jian brought a little girl, who looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, her hair was pulled into a double bun, but it was a little scattered, wearing a crimson one-piece shoulder, lined with a moon-lotus cotton, and her five looks like she was quite exquisite, but her eyes were shining, revealing a shrewd and spicy energy.
Liu Jian pointed at Luo Yue and said, "This is our biggest official, if you have anything to say, you can tell him." β
The little girl looked Luo Yue up and down a few times, with a suspicious look in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "What do you call this military master?" Are you really the biggest official?"
Luo Yue smiled and said, "My surname is Luo, my name is Luo Yue, and I am indeed the supreme commander of these at present, little girl, what is your name." β
The little girl's eyes flickered, and she took a breath, as if she believed Luo Yue's official greatest, so she folded her hands on her lower abdomen, bent her knees under her gaze, and saluted: "Slave Qingwen, I have seen Luo Junye." β
Luo Yue was stunned for a moment, isn't "Qingwen" the name of a character in [Dream of Red Mansions]?" and said, "You said you know where Wang Zhanyuan is hiding, can you tell me?"
Qingwen nodded, gritted her teeth again, and then said, "I don't know what the military master will do with Wang Zhanyuan after he catches him, and will he kill him." β
Luo Yue was a little strange and said, "What are you asking for? It is not up to me to decide whether to kill him or not, but to my superiors." β
Qingwen understood what Luo Yue meant, and said, "I don't know if Master Luo can give the slave and maid a thorough explanation, and how will the military master's boss deal with Wang Zhanyuan, will he kill him?"
In fact, Luo Yue also knew in his heart that if Wang Zhanyuan was caught, he would probably be executed in the end, so he said: "It should be to try his evil deeds, if he really did a lot of evil, I think he should be executed." β
After listening to Luo Yue's words, Qingwen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, gritted her teeth and said: "Well, when Wang Zhanyuan is executed, I just ask the military master to let the slave stab him or bite him a few times." β
Seeing Qingwen's bitter and hateful appearance, Yang Rui couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you the girl of his family?" Why do you hate him so much. β
When Qingwen heard this, her eyes turned red, and she actually cried, and she told her life experience while crying. It turns out that Qingwen is only 17 years old this year, her actual surname is Lu, her father was a yeoman farmer in Wangjiazhai, and her family originally had more than 60 acres of land. Although Wang Zhanyuan's father and son tried their best to occupy and annex the land around Wangjiazhai, they did not dare to do anything to her family at will, because Qingwen's grandfather was admitted to Xiucai, in the countryside, it is a great thing to have the title of Xiucai, and he has worked in the county for several years, which can be regarded as having a certain foundation, plus the strategy of not being provoked by the Wang family as much as possible, so the Wang family father and son will not dare to touch her family for a while.
However, when Qingwen was ten years old, her grandfather died of illness, and the family's biggest backer fell, and the Wang family father and son had no scruples, and found an excuse to conflict with her family three years ago, Wang Zhanyuan took the family to beat Qingwen's father violently, and destroyed all the crops in her family's more than 60 acres of land, Qingwen's father was angry, fell ill in bed, and the family's field was destroyed and there was no money for treatment, so he had no choice but to buy more than 60 acres of land to the Wang family at a very low price, and also took Qingwen.
Although Qingwen was only fourteen years old at that time, she was a little delicate, and she could read and write, and was favored by Wang Kexing, the eldest young master of the Wang family, and at this time, the Lu family was naturally powerless to resist, so they could only watch their daughter and fields being snatched away by the Wang family.
At that time, Wang Kexing had not yet married, so he took Qingwen as his personal ring, and it happened that he watched a few Red Mansion dramas in those two days, so he directly used the name in the dream of Red Mansions, and it didn't take long for Wang Kexing to break Qingwen. Of course, in this era, it is common for fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls to get married. A year later, Wang Kexing got married, and Qingwen became the personal ring of their husband and wife.
Although Qingwen hates the Wang family deeply, for the sake of the family, she can only swallow her anger and serve Wang Kexing and his wife. Because Qingwen's father has been bedridden and unable to do things, the family has almost no source of income, and Qingwen still has some monthly money in the Wang family to supplement the family every month. However, Wang Kexing is only interested in Qingwen for a while, just as a plaything, and he doesn't care much about the freshness as soon as the freshness passes, and Wang Kexing's wife is the daughter of a robber, with a rough personality, and she is also quite mean to her subordinates, and the relationship between husband and wife is not very good, so Qingwen is often treated as a simple person by their husband and wife, and she suffers a lot. Fortunately, Qingwen is quite smart and clever, and she is quite thoughtful, and Wang Kexing and his wife don't want to change people.
Just a few months ago, Qingwen's father was bedridden for more than two years and finally died, and Qingwen's mother took her younger brother to remarry in another country, and there was no news, and the good family was ruined. Since then, Qingwen has hated the Wang family to the core, but she is a weak girl, and she can't do anything to take revenge. Qingwen also thought about taking advantage of Wang Kexing's unpreparedness, killing Wang Kexing with one knife, and then committing suicide. But there has been no chance, and at this time, there was an uprising and the regiment came, so Qingwen hoped that the Boxers could break the Wangjiazhai and kill the Wang family's father and son, so as to avenge herself.
The Boxers failed to break Wangjiazhai, but they were broken by the People's Army. Because she has been living in Wangjiazhai, Qingwen doesn't know about overseas Chinese, but for her, no matter who breaks through Wangjiazhai, as long as she can avenge herself, so when she heard Wang Jian and the soldiers say that Wang Zhanyuan was not caught, she immediately stepped forward and said that she knew Wang Zhanyuan's whereabouts.
After all, Qingwen has been the personal maid of Wang Kexing's husband and wife for several years, and she deliberately paid attention to observation, which was originally for revenge, so she knew a lot of secrets of the Wang family, and many secrets were unintentionally mentioned by Wang Kexing. It turns out that the Wang family has a secret road, which can lead to about 5 or 6 miles outside the village, in case of accidents.
After listening to Qingwen's speech, Luo Yue and the others were both sympathetic and moved by her, and they couldn't imagine that Wang Zhanyuan was really cunning. However, the top priority now is to capture Wang Zhanyuan, so Luo Yue immediately ordered Yang Rui to lead a platoon, led by Qingwen, find the tunnel, and follow the tunnel to find Wang Zhanyuan.
Qingwen immediately took Yang Rui and other soldiers to Wang Zhanyuan's bedroom, pulled out the big bed, and sure enough, found an authentic entrance, just covered with wooden planks and locked from the inside, but the soldiers found a few axes and split the planks in a few clicks, revealing the entrance to the black hole.
Yang Rui said to Qingwen: "Little girl, you don't need to do the rest of the matter, you go to the battalion commander first, let him arrange a place for you to rest, and we will arrest Wang Zhanyuan." β
Qingwen grabbed Yang Duan and almost cried: "Master Jun, just the slave and maid will go with you, the slave and maid must watch you catch Wang Zhanyuan with your own eyes, and maybe the slave and maid can help the military master with some help." β
Yang Rui thought about it for a while, and felt that what Jingwen said also made some sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you just follow behind me, and don't make a sound, understand?"
Qingwen nodded and said, "Yes, Master Jun." β
Yang Rui picked up the Type 95 rifle and was the first to burrow into the tunnel. Qingwen followed behind him, and the other warriors entered the tunnels one by one.
