Chapter 60: Counterattack
"Zhang Yuyu, even your death is not the result. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"You killed the inspector, this is a serious official, Da Xu Chuli, it is the time to establish authority vigorously and resolutely, no matter how much relationship you have, as long as I kill you and sue the official, not only will you die, but your power in the county will be uprooted, and even your family will not be able to escape. ”
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Zhang Yuyu's face changed greatly, but he lied again: "It's not good, I've fallen for this fang's plan to attack the heart!"
In the early days of Taoism, the heart was the heaviest, and this heart had no intention of fighting, and the backlash immediately pounced quickly, only to see Pei Ziyun pounce forward, and in the shadow, the sword light flashed.
At the moment of life and death, Zhang Yuyu rose up, the sword light burst out, did not retreat but advanced, and killed forward.
"If you want me to die, you will die too!"
In an instant, the sparks splashed endlessly, and the speed of the two of them was dizzying, but with only one breath, the figures separated, Zhang Yuyu's left rib shook, and he was like a lightning strike, and blood spurted out.
"No, you can't kill me, I'm a disciple of the Holy Prison Gate, and if you kill me, you will be retaliated. ”
"Save me, I'm still saved!"
Before the words fell, the sword light flashed, and a sword pierced into the heart, Zhang Yuyu spurted blood from his mouth, gurgling, pointing and wanting to say something, he couldn't catch it in one breath, and he was suddenly out of breath.
Pei Ziyun looked at the corpse, laughed, and turned to leave after laughing.
Wo Niu Village
Pei Ziyun returned to the village, the thieves had already fled, and they were all killed before they could escape, and the roads in the village were full of corpses, and the blood had solidified on the ground, and a strong smell of blood was in the nose.
In the village, you can also see the archers inspecting, and when they see the corpse, they stab them, and when they don't move, they cut off their heads and pile them together.
It's just that even these archers have a heavy heart, and the patrol is dead, and half of them are dead with their brothers.
These are still military archers, and the village warriors are even more unbearable, and after the battle, many villagers wake up after being excited, and they are all sitting on the ground in prostration, and many people's minds are blank.
Some villagers saw the archers cutting their heads and dodged, killing people is one thing, cutting heads is another, some are timid, some are cowardly and can't help it anymore, hiding on the side and vomiting, as if the bile is going to be spit out, and the mouth is bitter.
Pei Ziyun saw that not only were the thieves, but also the corpses of some villagers were placed horizontally and vertically, some were village warriors, and some were ordinary villagers who had no time to dodge.
The village chief looked at it blankly, the flesh on his face couldn't help shaking, he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, a villager was seriously injured, and he couldn't do it anymore, seeing Pei Ziyun coming, he shed tears: "Xie Yuangong, I still have an old mother, wife and a little ...... at home."
Pei Ziyun's heart was sour, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, as long as I, Pei Ziyun, am here, I will not let them have any hunger, cold and hardship!"
When this man heard this, he was immediately devastated and died with a desire for life in his eyes.
The surrounding villagers wept, Pei Ziyun sighed, a villager Yong was hugging Cao San, who attacked just now, Cao San was also injured, fortunately not seriously.
Seeing Pei Ziyun coming in, Cao San approached and whispered: "Master Pei, the thief who ran out was killed." ”
"The two thieves have been killed, you send someone out to drag the corpses in, but these two should not be beheaded. Pei Ziyun said, remembering that Zhang Yuyu's corpse is of great use: "Especially the head of the thief, don't cut off the head too, and verify the identity in the future." ”
"Zhang Dashan. Cao San shouted, he was still there just now, and this person disappeared after a while.
"Here!" Zhang Dashan came over with a gourd, wiped his mouth, it turned out that he had taken the wine, he had just killed the thief, and his hands were still a little shaky, but Zhang Dashan was much more courageous than ordinary villagers, he didn't vomit, he just panicked, so he went to find wine to suppress the shock.
"Good fellow, you have the guts, if you used to be a soldier, you would be the material for being a soldier. ”
"There's two corpses out there, and you're dragged in with someone. Cao San arranged, and when he saw Zhang Dashan turn around and leave, he shouted: "Wine, leave it for me, and I will also drink two sips to cure the pain." ”
After speaking, he snatched it from Zhang Dashan's hand, Zhang Dashan didn't react, Cao San kicked it and said, "Don't go quickly." ”
Only then did Zhang Dashan react, and called the two villagers to come out of the village and drag Zhang Yuyu's body back.
Cao San took two sips of wine, felt that the pain in his back had eased a little, and approached Pei Ziyun and whispered: "Master Pei, so many people died tonight, what should I do?"
"I just took a look, the thieves here are not ordinary, a group of monks from the Silver Dragon Temple, and another is a thief in the rudder of the state capital, one of those monks I saw when I went to burn incense, I heard that these people are involved in the mansion and the state, we killed, I am afraid that someone will come to retaliate in the future. ”
After inspecting the faces of these thieves, Cao San found that these people were all involved behind them, and if they were killed this time, they would inevitably be in trouble in the future.
Pei Ziyun couldn't see his demeanor clearly in the firelight, and he didn't answer Cao San's words, but stepped forward and whispered: "Cao San, everyone has come to kill you, can you still kill you?"
Cao Sanyi, his eyes swept around, and he approached in a low voice and asked, "How to do it?"
Cao San retreated from the battlefield, was murderous, and dared to gamble.
"Now this matter is not too big, thieves attack the countryside, report to the official normally, these people make money, maybe they will treat you for a poor protection inspection, and you will be put in prison. Pei Ziyun said a few words close to his ear.
Hearing this, Cao San hesitated a little, the smell of blood poured into his nose, touched his back with his backhand, and clapped his hands: "Xie Yuangong, I did it." ”
After the thieves were killed, some villagers reported the news, and many people came out to look for their families, and two people looked for the old hunter from afar, and carried them over, but they were not injured much, only broke their legs.
A woman, Pei Ziyun, also knew that not long after she got married, her husband entered the countryside, looking for her husband, and as soon as her feet were weak, she collapsed on the ground, holding her husband's body and crying.
Cao San was a little silent, the man was also brave when he killed the thief, and he didn't want to be counterattacked by the thief, so he hacked him to death.
These villagers came out to find their families, and the crying in the field continued.
Counting the news, the old village chief's feet trembled and his face was pale, so Pei Ziyun asked Zhang Dashan: "How is the situation?"
"Seventeen bandits died, but we died twenty-one, seriously injured one, and slightly injured five, and we confiscated more than 20 knives, guns, bows and arrows, and found dozens of taels of silver on the corpses. Zhang Dashan said sadly: "Half of the dead were women and children, and they were hacked to death when they hit it." ”
These black-clothed people are all martial arts, and they are bandits, they are ruthless, and once Xiang Yong is hit, he is almost not injured, and most of them are dead.
Pei Ziyun was silent for a moment, and stepped forward to the village chief: "Village chief, you arrange for someone to buy a good coffin, and I will pay for it." ”
The village chief was shocked: "This can't be helped, the villagers died to protect the village, and the village will have compensation, where can I ask the master to pay." ”
"There are so many people dead today, I don't want to go, I still have something for you to do, there are still people behind these thieves, if you don't uproot them, this scourge will not disappear." Pei Ziyun said coldly.
The village chief glanced at the basket on the ground, which contained all human heads, and answered.
The men in the village were gathered by the village chief: "It's almost dawn, you go to the townships and villages to buy coffins, and those who have coffins at home will borrow them first and compensate later, and I believe that the villagers in the nearby townships will give me this face." ”
What many people don't understand is that people in ancient times were not taboo about coffins and tombs, and generally old people with a little money prepared their coffins when they were alive, and as for the emperor, they built their own mausoleums as soon as they ascended the throne.
According to historical records, in the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381 AD), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of a mausoleum for himself, and the world's great Xu Taizu ordered the construction of a mausoleum in the third year of his reign.
Therefore, more than 20 coffins can be quickly made out by searching the nearby villages.
A villager hesitated: "Village chief, no matter who sells coffins in the market now, they all go to bed early, why don't we ...... tomorrow morning."
Before the words fell, the village chief glanced over, this person is a hooligan in the village, and he likes to do some things like to steal chickens and dogs on weekdays, and he is lazy.
"Bang" The village chief slapped him over, and the villager who hit him was caught off guard, and he used so much force that he almost knocked him to the ground.
This person was not convinced, the village chief glanced at this person coldly, just now the thief came to this person and slipped away, and now he has to drag his feet, how can there be such a stupid person?
"Arrest it, beat it, just don't kill it. The village chief was furious and shouted people.
A man from Xiang Yong pounced on him, held the man by the hand, and tied him up with a rope. Cruel smile: "Zhang Ping, at this time, you still dare to make a mistake and look for death." ”
Xiang Yong had just finished killing the thief, and at this time he had a murderous aura, and he didn't dare to speak when he stared at this person, so he listened to the ghost crying wolf and pulled it down, and the villagers didn't dare to refute it, so they went out with the money.
A coffin is five taels of silver, and twenty-one people are dead, which is a hundred taels.
Pei Ziyun directly took the silver and sent it down, and said to the village chief: "There are so many people who have died, you can't put it in the village, take it to the Land Temple!"
The village chief discussed with the family of the deceased and felt that it was right: "Lift it up and put it in the temple, there is a god, and there will be no chaos." ”
Land Temple
There is a land temple in the village, there is a shrine, it looks very old, the village chief is to go up and light incense, bow a few times, cry and say: "The land lord is above, today I woniu village suffered a great disaster, the suffering villagers are temporarily stored here, and when the disaster is over, the pig will be killed." ”
Burning incense to tell God, the village chief arranged for people to carry the corpses in, put them one by one, and covered them with white cloths, and arranged for people to keep vigil, but the family members of the deceased came into the land temple and cried, and the village chief couldn't stop it, so he had to go.
Seeing that the matter was completed, the horse that was inspecting was still in the backyard of the village chief, Pei Ziyun entered the courtyard, rode on the horse, pulled the reins, took a sip of wine, smashed the bowl, and "drove", only to hear the sound of the horse's hooves, he ran straight out, out of the village entrance, and disappeared into the night.
