Chapter 112: Please
Shi Jianforging, the main master of Feiyun Village, was injured by Zhao Hu's crossbow arrows, and was targeted by several beaded crossbows. knew that he had fallen into the trap of Xiao Ding and others.
"I, I, fell for your ......" Shi Jianzhuan couldn't help but tremble with his left hand at this time, and even his voice trembled a little. Zhao Hu, since you went up the mountain, I have never treated you badly, and you actually colluded with outsiders to treat me like this today. I, I ......"
Shi Jian's voice was angry, he was unwilling, he had not yet displayed his martial arts, and he was plotted by others. He also regretted that he was careless and fell into the trap of Xiaoding and others.
"Lord Shizhai, it's useless for you to regret it now, let your men lay down their weapons and surrender." Xiao Ding pointed at Shi Jianzhuan with a crossbow arrow and said, There is a big sense that if you are not honest and obedient, I will shoot you.
Shi Jianduan also understood at this time that his life was now in the hands of the opponent's crossbow arrows, even if he was not injured, with so many crossbow arrows facing him, he would not be able to dodge.
"Okay, I promise you, I surrender." Shi Jianduan reluctantly said these jobs.
"Have your men lay down their weapons and all crouch down to the base of the wall." Xiao Ding ordered.
"Do you hear me, do as he says!" Shi Jiandong shouted at his minions.
The minions saw that the lord of the village, who was usually high up, was covered in blood at this time, and they didn't know if he was seriously injured, and when they heard this, they dropped their weapons and squatted at the base of the wall.
"And the people outside, you also make them lay down their arms and surrender. No resistance is allowed. Xiao Ding commanded Shi Jianjian again.
"Wang Si, you go out and tell Wang Dahu, just say that our cottage has surrendered to the government, let him lead the brothers to lay down their arms and not be allowed to resist." Shi Jianforging commanded to a minion crouching at the base of the wall.
"Yes, Lord!" The minion named Wang Si ran out of the hall.
Xiao Ding also turned around and walked out of the hall at this time, he took out the letter cannon in his satchel and lit it. The letter cannon flew into the air like a kick, and then exploded.
It didn't take long for Captain Yan to rush to the cottage with all the officers and soldiers. Arrest all the thieves in the cottage. The crossbow arrow on Shi Jianduan's body was pulled out by Zhao Hu, and he tore a few rags to help Shi Jianduan bandage it simply, and also tied up Shi Jianduan.
Shi Jianduan did not resist. First, he was injured in his arms and legs, and even if he used force, it would affect his movements; The second is that he knows that Xiao Ding and they have a crossbow arrow, and they can't guard against it.
The officers and soldiers not only arrested the bandits, but also looted the materials in the cottage. Therefore, the valuable items were packed and taken away by the officers and soldiers. Finally, before descending the mountain, the officers and soldiers set another fire and burned down the cottage houses.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ding couldn't help but think of the "three lights" policy when the Oriental devils invaded the motherland in later generations, and said in his heart that the officers and soldiers of this era also had a fight with the Oriental devils.
The mighty army walked towards Luoxia County.
On the way, Zhao Hu suddenly came to Xiao Ding and said, "Brother Xiao Ding, I want to ask you something." ”
Xiao Ding looked at Zhao Hu curiously, and said in his heart that what was wrong with him, he was mysterious. "You say, I think I can do it."
"Brother Xiaoding, I know that you have a good relationship with Hu Zhixian, and I want you to ask Hu Xian Ling for intercession." Zhao Hu said with a smile.
"What do you ask for?" Xiao Ding asked.
Zhao Hu pointed to the two men in the group of bandits who were pulled by ropes, and said, "Those two people are Li Gui and Lou Qing that I once told you, and they are also my good brothers at the beginning. They also didn't want to be bandits for a long time, but they never had a chance to leave the cottage. This time, I want you to help me plead with Hu Xianling to see if I can spare the two of them, and then let the two of them come to your house to do long-term work. ”
Xiao Ding looked at the two people Zhao Hu pointed at, and he didn't look like a treacherous person, so he nodded and said, "I'll give it a try, I don't know if Hu Xianling will buy my account." ”
When he arrived in Luoxia County, Hu Xianling heard that Xiao Ding had led a great victory and returned home, and he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. The joy in his heart was even happier than when he was in the middle of the year.
"Oh, Brother Xiaoding, the foolish brother really didn't misunderstand you, you actually wiped out Feiyun Village without blood, you are really a wise and brave general!" After listening to Yan Duwei's report, Hu Xian Ling took Xiao Ding's hand and didn't let go, and he didn't know how to praise Xiao Ding. In my heart, I regret not being able to get the assistance of such talents.
"Brother Hu has won the prize! The younger brother is just doing some modest help for Brother Hu. Xiao Ding said humbly.
"No prizes, no prizes! When I say this, the virtuous brother can afford it. Brother Yu had also sent people to encircle and suppress together with the Lord of the Metropolitan Commanders before, but in the end, he lost his troops and returned with a feather. It has greatly damaged the face of our officials. Brother Xian went here, just a little trick, it didn't take a soldier to suppress the cottage, if Brother Xian didn't have the talent of a general, how could he pacify Feiyun Village so easily? At this time, Hu Xianling's eyes looked at Xiao Ding, and they were all convinced and admired.
Xiao Ding didn't want to dwell on this topic, and seeing that Hu Xianling was in a very good mood at this time, he asked tentatively: "I wonder what Brother Hu will do with these bandits?" ”
"These bandits have done many evils, and they must be severely punished, and after taking me for interrogation, they will be convicted according to the severity of their crimes. In any case, the thief will not escape death. "Hu Xianling is still very experienced in handling cases.
"Brother Hu, I want to ask you something." Xiao Ding said homeopathically.
"Brother Xian, if you have anything, just tell Brother Fool, Brother Fool will never refrain from what he can do." Hu Xianling replied briskly.
"Brother Hu, there are two people named Li Gui and Lou Qing among the thieves, they are Zhao Hu's good brothers, and they have always wanted to get out of the cottage before, but they have no chance. Both of them were from ordinary people's backgrounds, and they had to become bandits. Foolish brother, you see, the two of them are just little thieves running errands below, can you open the net and give them a chance to change? ”
"Oh, Brother Xian, it seems that you want to intercede for those two little thieves!" Hu Xianling said.
"That's exactly what I mean." Xiao Ding said.
"It stands to reason that when you ask for a foolish brother, the foolish brother should promise you without saying a word. However, this matter involves a case, and the foolish brother still wants to wait for the two of them to be interrogated before deciding the matter. When Hu Xianling said this, he paused, and then said righteously: "Foolish brother is an official, although he is not a clean sleeve, but he also disdains to do those things that violate his conscience. Especially in terms of adjudicating cases, Brother Fool has always treated every case fairly. Virtuous brother, you may not know that the foolish brother has never accepted bribes from anyone over the years. ”
Xiao Ding listened to Hu County's words, and thought to himself, he didn't expect this treacherous and cunning Hu County's order to be a clean official. I really didn't see it before. No wonder he, as a county magistrate, still lives in such a dilapidated house behind the county office, and the daily necessities at home are also very old. Even when I rewarded myself with silver, I seemed to be picking and searching. It turns out that he really doesn't have much money!
Listening to Hu Xianling's meaning, he didn't want to sell himself this favor. Then we can only look at Li Gui and Lou Qing's creation, I hope that the two of them will do something hurtful and unreasonable these years.
