At night, Song Mier and Zhu Lu waited for everyone in the room to fall asleep, ready to go out to have a look. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Halfway through, there were two mountain bandits, one asked and the other wrote, asked all the people in the house what their surnames were, what other relatives were in the family, where they lived, what they did on weekdays, and the same as checking the household registration, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren plus the side lineage, and asked all over again.

Many people really thought that this was a code for blackmail, and they all said that there must be someone in the family who was willing to take money to ransom people, and the two mountain bandits didn't say anything superfluous, and left after remembering, but everyone was more down-to-earth in their hearts, and the night was getting deeper, and everyone who had been frightened for a day gradually fell asleep.

Song Mier and Zhu Lu settled down the dumb servants, and then they were ready to leave.

The door is still locked, but where is it difficult to get Zhu Lu? But it's all wooden doors, she found the side with few people, the internal force shook slightly, and the door naturally shook out, she caught the door, put it aside, beckoned Song Mier to come out, and gently closed the door, for a while, I couldn't see that a door here had fallen off.

Putting down the guards, Song Mier and Zhu Lu followed the light and touched the outside of the hall.

Twenty or thirty bandits had gathered in it, and they sat in order of seating, and the two bandits who had come to record their information in the evening were standing in the middle, reading the identity of the day with a blanket look.

Thinking of Song Mier and Zhu Lu, they happened to be the last two, two orphan girls who planned to settle in Yanzhou.

A young man with a long beard on the seat listened to this, touched his beard and said: "This batch looks like it is easier to deal with than the previous batch, they are all merchants, and there are two orphan girls who joined temporarily and their sick servants, basically there is no difficulty. ”

Several people across from him nodded, "I just heard that many people above have also left their family addresses, my lord, do you think we should ask these people to write a few letters asking them to come to Yanzhou, and then according to their notes, write a few letters asking their families to come to Yanzhou, and give these family members together-" He made a backhand neck cutting motion, "It's all settled, lest the Chinese New Year is approaching, and these family members will inevitably have suspicions when they see that their husbands and wives have not returned home." ”

The bearded young man nodded, "That's a solution. Command them then, then, to go down and do it. ”

The man on the other side was overjoyed, and then continued: "Thank you, sir! My lord, when are we going to deal with these people today? ”

Before the long-bearded young man could answer, a middle-aged man with an honest face in the seat below him interjected: "Chief soldier, it's not a way to go on like this!" ”

Song Mi'er and Zhu Lu's eyes lit up, and sure enough, Song Mi'er's guess was right, they were really soldiers!

But where did these soldiers come from, killing innocents indiscriminately at will?

Zhu Lu asked Song Mier with his eyes, and Song Mier raised his hand and signaled to continue listening.

I just heard the honest middle-aged man saying: "Today's killing is over, and tomorrow, tomorrow's killing is over, and the day after tomorrow, seeing that the New Year is about to end, and the New Year is approaching, and the merchants who come and go don't know how many things are ordinary, is it possible that we just kill people every day??" ”

"Don't kill, do you have any other way?" He asked rhetorically from a dark, thin young man.

The honest man wilted, "I have no other way, but it's still not a way to go on like this, Chief Soldier, tell me, which of these people should I kill?" They are all old, weak, sick and ordinary traders, and I always feel that my conscience is very disturbed. Defend your home and country! Now do these things, kill the people we should protect. The family members of all of you here are also ordinary people, can you bear to let them encounter these things for no reason?! ”

As soon as he said this, several people at the scene showed uneasy and ashamed looks, lowered their heads and stopped talking, and some looked at the face of the general soldier, the general soldier did not speak, standing in the middle of the hall, and the person who claimed to be the second master behind the two mountain bandits spoke: "Conscience, conscience, conscience, where is so much nonsense?!" Are we soldiers to defend our homeland and country? Aren't we defending our country now?! There is such a big thing in Yanzhou, if we are indifferent and let the matter get out, you and I will be finished! When the time comes, you will either kill them, or someone else will kill you! Besides, what is the duty of a soldier, is obedience! If you go to the top, you will be resolutely obedient and absolutely executed! We're just carrying out orders now, do you think it's so useful?! ”

"But ......"

The honest man had something to say, but he was interrupted by the chief soldier raising his hand, and he didn't dare to say anything, the chief soldier glanced at him and said: "There is a sentence in the general banner that I agree with, don't kill people today, people will kill me tomorrow, so be it, survive this winter, and when the spring of the next year begins, everything will be fine." Even if you really don't want to do it, there is no other way, horizontal is also dead and vertical is dead, it is better to follow the adult, maybe there will be other ways to hide it for a while. ”

Hearing this, Song Mier and Zhu Lu were already shocked, although their semantics were vague, but it must be something terrible that happened in Yanzhou, and these people were really soldiers, sent to carry out the mission, and this task was to kill all the people who went to Yanzhou from Danzhou, it is not difficult to imagine that there are soldiers and bandits on Danyan official road, and it is not difficult to imagine the situation on other official roads, is this Yanzhou official crazy, and he wants to kill all the people? ! And what happened in Yanzhou that caused Yanzhou officials to hide it at such a ruthless pace? !

Song Mi'er was uneasy, and when he accidentally moved, he crushed the withered yellow grass under his feet and made a small sound.

"Who?!"

The general soldier inside came with a sideways eye.

Song Mier's face turned white, and before he could react, suddenly a black shadow jumped over his and Zhu Lu's heads, and then both himself and Zhu Lu were taken by a pair of strong hands and rolled into the half-human-high grass next to them.

The black shadow that came out before "meowed", a sparrow also rose into the air, and the second master, known as the general flag, rushed to the window, stretched out his head to look around, and retracted: "Hey, it's okay, it's just a wild cat catching a sparrow, and now it's too, this weather even called the cat caught a sparrow, I thought the birds were frozen to death." ”

Everyone looked relieved, and they did not doubt him.

Song Mier and Zhu Lu were uncomfortable, they were hand-cuffed, they couldn't use any strength, this person didn't know whether they were friends or foes, but Fang Cai did save them, but this hand was just across his chest, and Zhu Lu's face was black.

Now he doesn't dare to move at all, for fear of being discovered. In this way, the three of them remained motionless for half an hour of incense, and after the discussion in the hall was over, they actually served wine and meat, and it seemed that they were ready to eat and drink recklessly before killing.

The hand that was holding Zhu Lu and Song Mier loosened a little, and Zhu Lu was about to pull out the dagger, but he heard a female voice behind him: "You are really bold, your kung fu is so poor, and you dare to eavesdrop, don't thank you this girl, if it weren't for me, you would have been in a different place a long time ago." ”
