XXXV. There are thieves

Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, no typo!

………

"Hey, hey! I said..."

Outside Hezhou City, Xujia Village, Xujiabao.

In troubled times, when the government lost its dominance, there was no royal law in the world.

The villagers of Siye will gather around the large households in their hometowns and form villages of different sizes.

It is either used for self-protection, or it is used to annex the young and strong homeless people to develop and grow.

You can't say that they are bad in a narrow sense, everyone wants to live, they all want to live well, what is wrong with people's self-preservation, it is difficult to let the rebellious army scourge casually.

But it is impossible to think how good they are, especially the owners of these dock forts, the big squires and big landowners.

The more chaotic the world became, the fatter they became, and the bitter tenants were helpless, and they really didn't know who to trust except their own benefactors.

In addition to farming and paying rent, he also had to pick up knives and guns to help these squires protect their property and work for nothing.

Xujiabao is such a dock fort, the government is in the defense of the official mansion, and the official government is not in the defense of thieves.

Red Turban Thief!

At this moment, several leading figures of Xujiabao stood in the fortress wall, looking out tremblingly, with bright clothes and armor, black and black, full of murderous red turban thieves.

"Hey...... Pander to! ”

"This ...... Pander to! ”

I said...... Pander to! ”

Zhu Jinwei, a thousand households of the Dingyuan Army, rode on an old horse, his upper body was straight, his left hand pinched his waist, and his right hand held an iron bucket.

This is Zhu Wu's invention, and when he talks to the thousands of people in the camp, he always feels that the voice is not loud enough, so he ponders such a thing.

"Can you talk to people, a ball?"

Chang Yuchun's ears were sour, and he didn't see him say a word for a long time, the fort in front of him was broken to get money and food, so why bother.

Since Zhu Wu said that he would let the big families in the countryside pay grain and pay taxes, Li Shanchang sent tax collectors to the countryside, but not only could not collect a grain of grain, but some of them were still beaten at the moment.

If you can't do it, you have to be martial, so you sent Chang Yuchun and Zhu Jinwei to bring your soldiers and horses to the countryside.

However, in order to stabilize the surrounding areas of Hezhou, Li Shanchang repeatedly confessed that he would salute first and then soldier.

"You know a ball?" Hearing Chang Yuchun scolding him, Zhu Jinwei rolled his eyes, "My fifth brother used to speak to his brothers, and it all started like this. Brethren...... Pander to! This one...... Pander to! ”

"Pull it down!" Chang Yuchun has one head and two big, "Hurry up and get down to business, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Xu Laocai of Xujiabao on the fort wall, looking at the red turban army outside, his old face was wrinkled like dead bark.

"The red turban thief looks neater than the official army, what kind of world is this special mother!"

Outside the dock fort, Zhu Jinwei was full of luck and shouted with full energy.

"Listen to the people in Xujiabao, we are under the command of General Zhu Wu of the Hezhou Red Turban Army, my name is Zhu Jinwei, and the 3,000-person team of the Dingyuan Army is 1,000 households."

As he spoke, Chong Chang Yuchun winked and smiled, "Old Chang, what's the matter?" ”

The corners of Chang Yuchun's mouth twitched and turned his face away.

"I heard that your Xujiabao beat up the tax collectors of our Dingyuan Army, I'm tired of it!"

"Such a big Hezhou City, we can all take it down, how many hits can you little broken castle withstand?"

"Old and young masters of Xujiabao, don't be stupid to work hard for Xu Laocai, every year the imperial grain and autumn tax, you don't pay a tael less, but it all goes into the Xu family's pocket, and not a grain of grain is given to the government!"

"Our Red Turban Army, like you, are all poor men who farm, the government is unkind, the big families are unjust, and they have no way to live, and they can only rebel if they are hungry and anxious."

"My fifth brother said that the red scarf is a team of the poor, and it does not rob the poor. We are here this time to find the rich man of the Xu family, not to find you poor men. ”

"Not only will we not rob you, but if you have no food to eat, we can open a warehouse to help you. I want to follow us, and the food is full. If you don't want to do it, you will be given land if you don't have land, and those who have land will be exempted from the government's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes! ”

There was a commotion in Xujiabao, when did the croppers hear this.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, he's not an official!"

Xu Laocai shouted outside the wall, "Hou Sheng, we don't have spare food in this fort!" ”

"Fart, you old Gaba is dead!" Zhu Jinwei scolded, "It is clearly written in the account book of the Hezhou Yamen, your Xu family has 620 hectares of land, and it is so rich that it is all oiled and you still say that there is no food?" ”

"You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, you don't eat and drink when you toast!"

"When we break your bird castle, we won't leave you a grain of rice. You are a person who is old and does not have a good life for a few days, and you don't think about future generations. ”

"Break your village, not to mention your family's food and money, those white and pure big girls and little daughters-in-law, none of them can escape, all of them will be mother-in-law for our brothers, so that you will give up your life and money."

"Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! ”

Suddenly, the phalanx of red scarves roared with a tsunami, and the soldiers blushed and roared with all their might.

In the fort, Xu Laocai scolded Zhu Jinwei and almost returned to the west.

"Housheng, you keep your mouth shut!" Xu Laocai shouted, "Who knows if what you said is true or false, you want to go through it today, you want to do it again tomorrow, and I can't stand it even if I have a mountain of gold here!" ”

Zhu Jinwei swallowed, "Phew! You old thing! My fifth brother's tax collector said it clearly, pay taxes and grain according to the land, and only once a year. Your Xu family has a total of 1,500 quintals, which is lower than the government's taxes?

Are you stuffed with chicken feathers in your ears and can't hear? Or is it deliberately pretending to be confused? Or do you think my fifth brother's words don't count? ”

"Brother!" Chang Yuchun couldn't help it, and said, "It's nonsense to break with the dog's day, kill one and make an example, don't break the two forts, no one will be obedient!" ”

Zhu Jinwei's mouth was dry, "Okay, if you break it, you will break it." Grandma's, if it weren't for Lao Li saying that he would convince people, Lao Tzu wouldn't have wasted this spit! ”

"Do it!"

Chang Yuchun gave an order, and the red scarf soldiers who had long been unable to bear it immediately took action.

"Brother, you just said that, Zhu Zhenfu didn't let me!" Chang Yuchun asked again.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Jinwei was confused, and then smiled, "Mother-in-law? ”

"Ahh Chang Yuchun smiled, "My brothers are all singles!" ”

"Let me tell you, I really let the fifth brother know, and I picked our skin!"

The Red Turban Army suddenly moved, and the people of Xujiabao were startled, thinking that they were about to attack, but there was no movement for a long time.

Just as he was wondering, he saw the other party carrying two iron pipes towards the door.

"Old lady, what's that?"

Bang!

The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

The people in the fort suddenly felt a shock under their feet, and there was a hole in the gate of the fort.

"What's that?"

Before they could understand, the boom was another shot.

Just when someone dared to look at the castle gate, in the blink of an eye, the upper body turned into a broken watermelon, and the blood sprayed all over the sky.

The castle was silent at first, and then the frying pan was blown.

"Mom, there's a ghost!"

"The Red Turban Army will demonize the law!"

Xu Laocai's eyes were so frightened that he twitched on the spot. Others patted their chests and pinched people, and finally came back to life.

The first sentence he said, "Quick, deliver the grain!" ”

"Shame on the face!"

Zhu Jinwei scolded, "Brother Chang, leave one hundred and eight brothers to collect grain, let's go next!" ”

"Hurry up, next! Take advantage of the morning. ”

Chang Yuchun shook his head and said, "I just wanted to move my muscles and bones, but he was cowardly!" Disappointed! ”

"Brothers, let's go, the next one, Zhangjia Village!"

Often in spring, Zhu Jinwei went out of the city before dawn. After cooking Xujiabao, I arrived at the boundary of Zhangjiazhai at noon.

"Huh?" Chang Yuchun's eyes were sharp, and he pointed to the ground and said, "Why are there so many horseshoe prints." As he spoke, he jumped off his horse and took a closer look, "There are dozens of cavalry passing through here!" ”

"Come on, hold the horse's hoof prints, chase!"

After a while, the knights sent out reported that the horseshoe prints of the cavalry were leading to Zhangjiazhai.

"The cavalry of the officer's army?"

Zhu Jinwei pondered, "No, where did the officials and soldiers come from at the border of Hezhou?" ”

Dozens of cavalry said that it was too much, and it was said that it was a lot less, the key was that under the nose of Hezhou, I didn't know whether it was friend or foe.

I often meet the coarse and fine in the spring, and ask the sentry detective, "Are you sure you went to Zhangjiazhai?" ”

"I went in at dawn." The sentinel replied, "I found an old man outside Zhangjiazhai and asked, I didn't wear a flag or armor, and I never came out of the village." ”

"Grandma's evil nature!" Zhu Jinwei scolded.

"What's evil about this, let's copy the path, there is a mountain behind Zhangjiazhai, let the brothers hide, and send a few more people to keep an eye on the mouth of the village, they will have to show their heads sooner or later!"

Chang Yuchun pondered and said, "Anyway, I feel that this group of people is sneaky, maybe they can catch big fish this time!" ”

……

On the hill behind Zhangjiazhai, Zhangjiazhai has an unobstructed view,

Chang Yuchun and Zhu Jinwei were lying on the mountainside and watching carefully, the village looked no different from usual, the peasants were in and out, and there were people on the arrow tower looking at the distant sentry.

"Huh!" Zhu Jinwei snorted lightly, and two fast horses came up the road, he squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"Why are they brothers?"

Chang Yuchun saw his face change drastically, and asked, "Acquaintance?" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Jinwei's face was gloomy and dripping water, and his appearance was a little hideous.

"Maybe something big has happened!" I often meet the heart of spring.

Although he has not defected to Zhu Wu for a long time, he has most of Zhu Wu's close to his brothers' temperament.

are all rough people who can't hide things in their hearts like him, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they are a little wilted at most.

Zhu Jinwei's appearance, this is the first time he has seen him. He not only knows the people who came, but he should be very familiar with them, or they are the people of the Dingyuan Army.

The two of them were silent, and fell into waiting again. Just when Zhu Jinwei's patience was about to reach the limit, a team of people in the village rushed out.

"Dog's day, Guo Tianxu?" Zhu Jinwei grabbed blood in his palms and scolded hatefully in his mouth.

The galloping cavalry went in the other direction, and the leader was Guo Tianxu, who had met Zhu Jinwei.

"Do you see clearly?"

Often frightened in spring, Zhu Wu was not in the city, but Guo Tianxu was outside the city......

"I recognize him when he turns to ashes!"

Zhu Jinwei gritted his teeth and sneered, "I can't find it, there is a thief in our Dingyuan Army's family!" ”

said, and said coldly, "Kill the past, look at their dog's collusion?" ”

"No!" Chang Yuchun shook his head and smiled, "Let's go back to the city, it's so refreshing to catch it all in one go!" ”
