Chapter 092: Soldiers are coming to the city
Sent Xiao Shisan away, there were no outsiders in the house, Gu Jialuo's straight waist suddenly softened, she spread her hands, and her palms were already slippery. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
She was not shocked by the news of 'Qi Shenzhi's suspected fraudulent death', but because of the decision she had just made.
More than a hundred lives, not chickens, pigs and dogs, but living people, Gu Jialuo has never given such an order when he is so big.
Although she didn't kill those people with her own hands, she didn't feel completely untouched when she made such a decision.
She is not as good as Qi Jinzhi, Qi Jinzhi is a veteran of the battlefield, and killing people is a way to achieve his goals and a means to protect himself from being harmed.
For Gu Jialuo, it was a choice out of desperation, and this choice made her very painful.
Closing his eyes vigorously, Gu Jialuo tried to persuade himself: The situation is compelled, I have to make such a decision, otherwise, Usa will be chaotic, and the good situation on Wumeng's side may also be ruined, and I, my husband, and many innocent people will be implicated.
If a lie is repeated too much, it becomes the truth, not to mention that Gu Jialuo's words are not lies.
After repeating it in his heart, Gu Jialuo's mood really improved a lot.
When she opened her eyes again, she had regained her composure.
Leaning on the Luohan bed in a collapsed position, his fingers gently rubbing the embroidery on the pillow, Gu Jialuo thought quietly.
"Come on, call Liu Hu to me!"
Gu Jialuo slowly sat up and commanded in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Ziwei, who was guarding under the porch of the door, heard this, hurriedly answered, and then ran out of the inner courtyard in person to find Liu Hu in front of the office.
After a while, Liu Hu came out of breath and gave a hasty salute, "Grandma, what do you have to tell the little one?" ”
Gu Jialuo simply went straight to the point: "Can the errand officer of the county government settle down recently?" ”
Liu Humian was careless and not careless, of course he understood the meaning of Gu Jialuo's words, Gu Jialuo asked 'errand service', not all the errand soldiers, but a few suspicious errand soldiers.
He carefully recalled the recent situation of those people, and said slowly: "Everyone else is fine, only Ji Liuzhi went out of the city a few days ago, saying that something happened to his hometown, go back and take a look." I stayed at home for half a month and didn't come back until yesterday. ”
Gu Jialuo stared for a while, and suddenly asked: "How do I remember that Ji Liuzhi is a Han Chinese, he, where did he come from the stockade?" ”
In Usa, many people's hometowns generally refer to the cottages before they went down the mountain and returned to the stream.
Some cottages no longer exist, leaving only a few dilapidated thatched houses.
Some are still thriving, such as the Ma family's Majiazhai, basically the vast majority of the family members live in the mountains, and only a few families have entered the city.
Even if they enter the county seat and settle down in the city, they have to go back to the cottage every year to worship their ancestors.
Every time I go back, when someone asks, they will reply, 'Go back to my hometown'.
But the problem is, Ji Liuzhi is not a Yiren.
To this question, Liu Hu answered quite simply, "His mother is a Yiren, and she lived in a foreign family's village for a period of time when she was a child. ”
Gu Jialuo raised his eyebrows, "His mother is Miao?" ”
Liu Hu nodded.
Gu Jialuo suddenly figured out, this can make sense, no wonder Ji Liuzhi is so loyal to the Ma family.
"Did he really go back to Miao Village? Or did you go somewhere else? ”
Gu Jialuo asked uneasily. Since Ji Liuzhi is Ma Zhongtai's hardcore confidant, at such a critical moment, he will never leave the city for no reason, and there must be a certain purpose.
Gu Jialuo also had an idea, since Ma Zhongtai wanted to take revenge on Qi Jinzhi, it was far from enough to create a few rumors and instigate a few bullets in the imperial history in Beijing. He should have a bigger conspiracy.
Hearing this, Liu Hu grinned widely, and gave Gu Jialuo a thumbs up, "If you don't say it's a big grandmother, it's amazing, and it hits the nail on the head at once." You guessed right, that melon coward didn't go to Miao Village at all, but wandered around outside the city and went to Yizhou on the mountain road. ”
Yizhou?
Gu Jialuo squinted her eyes and thought about it, she remembered that there was a team of more than 1,000 people hidden in the mountains more than a hundred miles outside Yizhou City.
It is said that it was originally the illegitimate son of the Annan Palace, Cao Su Cao Qianhu, but later Cao Qianhu was assassinated by the people sent by Concubine Ning, and the men and horses under his command were split into three parts.
The largest part, about 10,000 people, was taken over by Concubine Ning's people, and they abandoned Yizhou and returned directly to Annan to defend the palace, but unfortunately they were beaten to pieces by General Ma of the Shuixi battalion, and finally did not know what to do.
There are also five or six thousand people controlled by Cao Su's henchmen, avoiding Yizhou and attacking some remote small county towns, and now they are running around in Shu to commit crimes, becoming the most wanted 'bandits' in Shu.
In the end, there were less than 2,000 people left, and a little-known small hundred households seized the command, continued to stay near Yizhou, occupied a mountain and became the king of the mountain, and made a living by robbing past merchants.
Of course, whether it is a 'bandit' or a 'bandit', they all use the banner of the old department of the Annan Palace, and clamore all day long to enter the king of Jingqin, flaunting themselves as loyal ministers.
As for robbery or something, it is a big thing and not informal.
Gu Jialuo connected several clues and quickly came up with a guess.
Her fair-skinned and slender fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and she sneered, "It seems that our Ma Xiancheng is going to 'make a big deal' with those anti-thieves." ”
Liu Hu's eyes widened, and his hands were clenched into fists, "Grandma, do you mean that the surnamed Ma wants to collude with those waves of thieves to intercept and kill the uncle?" ”
This is not a trivial matter, don't look at Qi Jinzhi's current appearance, it seems that he has achieved a lot of results, but in fact, his situation is not very safe.
Don't forget, he only had a hundred guards around him.
The main reason why he was able to successfully enter Umeng was that the Tartars had withdrawn from Umeng, and the rest were just a rabble, not an opponent of the regular army at all.
And during this period, there was also a hundred households in the Shuixi battalion who led troops to help.
Now, seeing that Qi Jinzhi temporarily controlled Wumeng, and the battle reports continued on the west side of Shuixi, he led the troops out of Wumeng.
If Ma Zhongtai had colluded with two groups of rebels to besiege Wumeng at this time, and there were rumors spread in the city to confuse the people, then Qi Jinzhi would definitely have suffered from the enemy, and at that time, even if they were not harmed by the rebels outside, they might have been besieged and killed by the unsuspecting people.
Well, now Gu Jialuo made a timely move and barely dispelled the rumors.
But there are still thousands of chaotic soldiers besieging the city outside, and with the strength of Wumeng's guards, they can't compete with it at all, and in the end, Qi Jinzhi still can't escape a dead word.
"Oh, how is this good? How is it good? ”
Liu Hu was so anxious that he couldn't wait to give birth to a pair of wings and fly to Wumeng immediately.
Gu Jialuo was also anxious, she tried her best to stay calm, "Liu Hu, how many people can you mobilize?" ”
The county government left less than 100 people, plus the government officials can only make up 100, plus the township Yong temporarily recruited by Qi Jinzhi, there are about three or four hundred people.
Gu Jialuo calculated in his heart, Liu Hu had already given the answer, "Reliable people, small ones can mobilize two hundred and fifty people." "The rest is just some swaying wallgrass!
Two hundred and five, a good, auspicious number! Gu Jialuo was in no mood to complain, she said seriously: "Two hundred and fifty people is two hundred and fifty people, in this way, Liu Hu, you immediately mobilize people, prepare dry food and weapons, and rush to Wumeng tomorrow evening." Remember, if the overall situation is really out of control, bring the uncle back first. ”
Li Hu replied solemnly, "The little one understands." ”
Gu Jialuo met his eyes and said word by word: "As long as my uncle is safe and sound, I can leave it alone for the time being." ”
Liu Hu didn't speak, only nodded vigorously.
……
In the early morning of the next day, the official of the county government carried a gong and shouted loudly while banging on it: "Attention, everyone pay attention, the county lord has arrested one hundred and fifty-three Tartars, and after examination, they are all sinners with great crimes and blood debts. ”
"At noon today, in the East Street Yard, the county lord executed more than 150 Tartars, everyone come and see!"
"Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars! ”
"Look at the excitement, go and see the excitement."
On the only few roads in the county seat of Usa, several squads kept shouting.
For Chinese people, it is a kind of nature to watch the excitement, even if the atmosphere in the county town is a little weird recently, but the people listened to the shouting outside, and they still couldn't help but open the door and quietly poke their heads out.
Kill the Tartars? Doesn't it mean that Qi Jingguan and the Tartars colluded with each other to indiscriminately disrupt the southwest?
Why did Qi Jingguan suddenly kill the Tartars again?!
Curious, and wanting to see the good scene of killing the Tartars with his own eyes, before noon, there were a bunch of people on the courtyard of the East Street.
Everyone turned their heads to each other, whispered, and craned their necks to look in the direction of the county office.
When there were still two quarters of an hour before noon, the county government rushed out of two teams of officials, and the executioners with meaty faces carried the ghost-headed knives in their arms and followed in the queue.
"Ah, I'm going to kill someone."
"Look at that executioner, he is full of evil spirits, so it's not terrifying."
"Tsk, I heard that Lord Qi brought a good hand from the army, I don't know how many people have been cut!"
The people who came to see the excitement were boiling, all looking forward to it, waiting for the show to be staged.
Ma Zhongtai hid in the crowd, his eyes were red and he watched a group of people walk by, looked at the open gate of the county government, and gritted his teeth, "What a poisonous woman, she is as ruthless as Qi Jingguan, isn't it just a few rumors, she actually wants to kill someone?!" ”
A dark and thin figure approached Ma Zhongtai and whispered a few words.
Ma Zhongtai's expression moved, "The news is true?" ”
The figure nodded, "That's right, after cutting these Tartars, Liu Hu and the others will set off." ”
Ma Zhongtai pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a smug smile, "Okay, it's good that they're all gone, haha, now, I also want to let Qi Jinzhi taste the feeling of losing a loved one." ”
As soon as noon passed, the knife and axe hand raised the big knife, the cold light flickered, and more than a hundred heads rolled down one after another, and a pungent bloody atmosphere suddenly filled the courtyard.
Even those people who were fierce in nature were also shocked by this scene: one hundred and fifty-three people, just, just like that?!
Looking at the dark red liquid flowing freely on the ground, they couldn't help but shudder, and they had a deeper understanding of the couple in the county office.
In the evening, Liu Hu led the assembled 250 people quietly out of the city.
Gu Jialuo didn't sleep well all night, and at dawn, she felt a little sleepy, but there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside-
"No, it's not good, grandma, it's not good, there are many people outside the city, and they are clamoring to kill ......the thieves and thieves."
