West of Jinling City.

When I saw the broken earth house, two dim candles, seven or eight tall men with big faces and meaty faces.

There was wine and meat on the floor in the room, each with their mouths full of oil, and each other had a satisfied smile on their faces.

There was only a tall and thin man with a long thin face, broad shoulders, and a short beard, somewhat absent-minded. From time to time, I looked out the dark window, clutching a burden in my hand.

"Brother, eat!" A young man in his twenties next to him said in the man's ear, "What's wrong with you, you don't have energy all afternoon?" ”

The man forced a smile, "I always feel unsteady, as if something is going to happen!" ”

The young man laughed indifferently, "Brother, what can happen?" When dawn comes, we'll go out of the city, and we won't know it! As he spoke, he smiled again, "It's a pity that this time it's in a hurry, otherwise let's have a good walk around Jinling." ”

On the side, another sturdy Chinese character opened his mouth and smiled, "Shopping? The streets are full of Zhu Wu's ironclad soldiers, and there are people everywhere who check the road and guide the household registration, be careful to arrest you, and the bird will chop you up! Then, the man shook his head and said to the others, "Tsk, seeing is really believing, this Zhu Wu's Dingyuan Army really has a platoon, and it is more breezy than the official army, no wonder it has laid such a big foundation!" ”

"You don't raise the morale of others, what's wrong with Zhu Wu?" The young descendant said dissatisfiedly, "He Zhu Wu used to be just a beggar for food, he can do it, we can do it too!" This time, the eldest brother bought the palm thunder, and when we go back to Taizhou, we will also kill officials and rebel! We are not a poor place in Huaixi where birds don't, with a big brother with us, I'm afraid that there is no prestige and wealth! ”

"Yes, you're right!"

The tall and thin man holding the burden nodded, and said with a smile, "This group of mud legs who farm in Huaixi can do things, what are we like to sell salt?" When we killed, they planted crops! The brothers in the salt works have long been fed up with the oppression of the government.

If the government doesn't treat us as people, we will destroy the government. He Zhu Wu can live a good life with eight seats, and so can we! When the time comes, there will be revenge, there will be revenge, and we will kill all those corrupt officials who bully us, and the gold and silver can be spent by the brothers! ”

This is true, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of hot-blooded men in this world. The man's words made everyone nod their heads, and their eyes became warm.

"Brother Ninety-Fourth, let's do it with you!"

"Yes, Brother Jiusi, you are the leader, and the brothers are all following you!"

This group of people is the Taizhou salt dealers who privately bought the thunder in the palm of the Dingyuan Army.

The man called Jiusi is the one they lead, Zhang Jiusi.

Everyone was muttering, and suddenly there was a slight footstep at the door.

"Who?"

Zhang Jiusi, who was grabbing the burden, stood up and stared straight at the door.

Bang dang!

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound like thunder, and the already dilapidated door was directly smashed open, and smoke and dust billowed open.

In an instant, the men in the room all stood up and stood in front of Zhang Jiusi, with a fierce expression.

But when the smoke cleared, it was still quiet outside the door, except for a snot boy with a lantern, who came and stood and looked at them with a smile.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Jiusi asked coldly, the situation was too weird.

The ordinary snot boy in front of him was standing with a battle armor on his body, a short knife pinned to his waist, and his eyes were unscrupulous and he couldn't stop looking at these Jianghu men.

The snot kid smiled, and looked inside, "One, two, three, four~~~~ Second Uncle Lan, six people, one is not less!" ”

Immediately, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man dressed in iron armor walked from behind, touched the head of the snot child, sneered at Zhang Jiusi and the others, and said disdainfully, "These rotten garlic!" ”

It's happened! Zhu Wu's people! The Dingyuan army is here to arrest it!

Zhang Jiusi is also an old Jianghu who has a few lives under his hands, and immediately decided, "Brothers, kill out!" ”

Immediately, with a short knife in hand, he took his brother and horse out on the spot.

But, outside the door. Dense ironclad soldiers blocked the water around the place, and countless open bows and arrows were aimed at them, and the black arrows glowed with a cold sheen in the lamplight.

Clang!

The knife in Zhang Jiusi's hand fell to the ground, "Everyone, you have something to say!" ”

~~~~~

"Get in!"

In the face of absolute strength, resistance is futile. These Jianghu men are like pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the hands of Zhu Wu's personal soldiers. beat and kicked, grabbed his hair and dragged him into Zhu Wu's camp.

In the general manager's meeting hall, Zhu Wuma sat on a Taishi chair with a golden sword, sneering at these people who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and brought him trouble. On the side, Li Shanchang, Xi Yingzhen, Hu Weiyong and others also looked at them with a look of pity.

"Daddy!"

Zhu Yu's face was full of excitement just now, and he said to Zhu Wu with a smile, "Six people, one is not a lot, and they have all been caught by Second Uncle Lan!"

"Get on your knees!"

The scabbards of the soldiers smashed heavily on the legs of Zhang Jiusi and the others with the howl of the wind, and several people knelt in a row in front of Zhu Wu with their heads.

Zhu Wu was still sitting, and asked with a sneer, "Who is the leader?" ”

"You are Mr. Zhu? My name is Zhang Jiusi, I am the leader in this matter, and it has nothing to do with my brothers! ”

Zhang Jiusi raised his head, forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, and tried to make himself look less weak, "We didn't mean to brush your tiger whiskers, we admit it, you can draw a path!" ”

"Stripping? You encourage Lao Tzu's subordinates to sell heavy weapons privately, just admit it? ”

Zhu Wuqi smiled, and according to his original idea, he directly cut off and fed the dog, and his head spread throughout the three armies and hung it on the city gate to show the public.

Later, I was still curious and wanted to see where these daring guys were.

But after seeing it, it was just a group of reckless people.

Without waiting for Zhang Jiusi to speak, Xi Yingzhen behind Zhu Wu suddenly asked.

"Your name is Zhang Jiusi? Where are you from? What are you buying this palm thunder for? ”

Zhang Jiusi is just a smuggler of salt, where has he ever seen such a common face, surrounded by vicious and cannibalistic eyes, knives and guns out of the sheath, and iron armor.

There was cold sweat on his forehead, and he said, "We are from Taizhou, Mr. Zhu, we are also poor!" We have been salt in the government's salt works for generations, and we have to be exploited by the government when we work hard.

Seeing that the heroes in the world are all opposed, we also want to rebel. But there are few of us, only a dozen of us, and when we heard that Mr. Zhu had a sharp weapon to kill, I moved my mind. ”

Xi Yingzhen pinched his fingers and calculated, "You also want to buy palm thunder to kill officials and rebel?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhang Jiusi kowtowed and said, "Manager Zhu, we are all poor, and there is really no way to survive if we don't kill officials and rebel." For the sake of the poor, you have let us go in large quantities! ”

Zhu Wu sneered a few times, "A large number of adults? The person who sold you the palm thunder is an old brother who followed Lao Tzu to start a business. Lao Tzu is the same as killing without forgiveness, why do you have a lot of adults? ”

Zhang Jiusi raised his head, his face was stunned.

Before he entered Jinling, he had heard that Zhu Wu cut off one of his fingers in order to help his subordinate J kill and rob his brother who violated military law.

Although in his heart, his brother playing with a few women and grabbing some money is not a violation of military law at all. even felt that if you want others to sell your life for you, you have to rely on your brothers. What is the rebellion for, isn't it just for pleasure!

However, Zhu Wu did not hesitate to use his fingers to help his brothers get rid of their crimes. is worthy of the word hero.

Those people can live, but they just sold some palm thunder and died?

The man who bought it for him said in person that he had entered Zhu Wu's army since Zhu Wu was a commander in Haozhou, and he has been fighting all the way to the present. Don't look at it as just a 100-person captain, but the 100-person team in charge of the pro-army, even if you don't change it for a thousand households.

"Herald!"

Zhang Jiusi was stunned, and Zhu Wu continued to speak.

"Pass on Lao Tzu's handsome order, personally guard the 300th team of the firearms battalion of the army, sell heavy weapons in the army below the team officers, behead them for public display, and hang their heads in the camp to set an example!"

Zhu Wu can endure other things, but Zhu Wu definitely can't bear such things inside and outside. Not only can't bear it, but I also have to remind everyone.

"Fifth brother, where is the soldier?" Lan Yu asked, bowing down.

Zhu Wu's fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the Taishi chair, "If you don't report it, you will be beheaded for the same crime as trafficking!"

The people around gasped, but no one dared to persuade them.

Nor can it be persuaded, and anyone in power will do so. At best, it's a private sale, and at worst, it's a betrayal.

This team of people died unjustly, and no one in the army will think that they are wronged.

Zhu Wu pointed to Zhang Jiusi and the others who were kneeling, "These miscellaneous pieces are the culprits of the initiators, and when they are executed, they are pulled out together, chopped into meat puree, and fed to the dogs!" "Steward, wait!"

Xi Yingzhen stood up from behind Zhu Wu.

The road of fate, even if there is a slight inflection point, will deviate from the original trajectory.
