Hearing the reply of his subordinates, Bashan Tiger was stunned, thinking that the person surnamed Qin would ask for someone with him, and at least two or three hundred people would dare to hit the Meng family's gatehouse.

Unexpectedly, the person surnamed Qin didn't want people, but silk and fast horses.

The fast horse is easy to understand, and it can be used to escape, but what does that silk mean?

Bashan Tiger couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he waved his hand, gave him silk, and gave him horses, but all he gave was old and weak thin horses.

After getting what he wanted, Qin Chuan was busy, first drawing a set of armor and several sets of brocade guards according to the pictures he had seen on the Internet before, and then finding needles and threads to let a group of rough bandits sew clothes.

The clothes he wants don't pay attention to sturdy and durable, nor do they pay attention to fine handwork, it doesn't matter if they don't sew edges or sew the wrong stitches, they just need to look decent, and there are no big mistakes from a distance.

Then he got ink, cinnabar and yellow mud water, and asked Song Zhiting, who was unsuccessful because he was obsessed with ink and blue, to copy the patterns he drew on the finished clothes.

Although Song Zhiting is not very resourceful, his painting skills are really good, and he insists on painting the ugly patterns of Qin Chuan vividly.

Two days later, Qin Chuan put a set of painted shoddy unicorn clothes on his body, and got rid of the feared Lord Qianhu of Jinyi.

He just wants to rely on this skin to take down Mengjiazhuang.

In the past two days, Lao Huang relied on his honest smile to inquire about two things in Huang Cong Mountain.

First, the reason why Bashan Tiger dared to fight Mengjiazhuang was because there was a group of rogues joining forces, and that group of people turned out to be the enemies of the old bandits in Jiuji Mountain, Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu, the former turned out to be the second leader of Jiuji Mountain, and took dozens of people to fight against the water, and the latter came to join forces inside and outside, killing many brothers in the village.

This news made the old bandits in Jiuji Mountain all look gloomy, including Qin Chuan, who had sworn a poisonous oath early on, not to kill Li Biaofeng and Tongtianzhu, and to swear not to be human.

The second thing Lao Huang inquired about was about Mengjiazhuang.

A few days ago, the people of Huang Congshan got the news that dozens of carts pulled goods into Mengjiazhuang, and since then, they have not come out, and the cars loaded with grain are nine out of ten, and it is estimated that there are three or four thousand stones.

It was precisely because of that batch of things that Bashanhu did not hesitate to find reinforcements to attack Mengjiazhuang.

After listening to Lao Huang's words, Qin Chuan frowned thoughtfully.

This is not normal, hundreds of thousands of rogues are looting everywhere in Shanxi, no merchant dares to transport grain at this time, and the Meng family will not be so stupid.

Unless, that batch of grain has to be transported.

……

On the first day of October, the autumn equinox has passed, and Luliang Mountain is already cold and bleak.

Meng Guiming held the delicate stove and stood on the top of the gatehouse, looking around Zhuangzi.

Shaanxi and Jin have been experiencing severe drought for many years, and there are more and more displaced people, and even in Loufan Town, which is hidden deep in the mountains, there are many groups of displaced people passing by every day.

What is annoying is that there are always many homeless people who come to his door to beg for food, and they can't get rid of him, so after dozens of people are killed in the nursing home, a group of people have left, and another group has come, crying and begging miserably outside the Zhuangzi from morning to night, disturbing his ears and ears.

Now, as soon as the weather is cold, the outside of Zhuangzi is finally clear.

The hundreds of homeless people who had gathered in front of his house before were all frozen to death, and he asked the nursing home to go out to dig a pit and bury the corpses that were close, and those who were far away ignored them, anyway, there were many jackals in Luliang Mountain, and those corpses would naturally disappear in a few days.

Recently, it has not been peaceful outside, and Meng Guiming has to go upstairs every morning to see the situation outside, for fear that the rogue will be killed, especially after the guests came to Zhuangzi a few days ago.

The guest is Jiexiu's Fan family, when the Liukou approached Jiexiu, the Fan family withdrew the clansmen from Jiexiu's hometown to Zhangjiakou Fort, and did not dare to bring too much money and grain on the road, for fear of attracting the attention of the Liukou, so they simply pulled 5,000 stone grain and several large boxes of silver ingots to the Mengjia Zhuangzi for temporary storage, and also sent a few Fan family members and more than 30 nursing homes into the Meng family to guard.

The Meng Fan family is a family of in-laws, and over the years, Meng Guiming has earned a lot of money through the door of the Fan family, so it is naturally difficult to refuse each other.

It's just that the money and food are too conspicuous, and he is a little worried that the rogue will find it along the rut.

Today, it seems to be calm on the outside......

Meng Guiming's eyes suddenly narrowed, and in the white mist in the southeast direction, there were vaguely some figures running towards Zhuangzi.

After a while, he saw clearly, about twenty people, dressed in colorful clothes, rich men with big bellies, old men and old ladies with rickety bodies, and some women who twisted their waists and cried.

Those people seem to be running for their lives.

In a short time, more than a dozen men on horseback, wearing various official uniforms or armor, brandished knives and chased after them in the white mist.

The old lady who ran at the end was waved by the dangling long knife, and she screamed and lay down, and the group of flowers and greens suddenly ran faster and cried more and more miserably.

Meng Guiming looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly his face changed.

He could see clearly that among those on horseback, the first was a tall man with a majestic weapon, wearing a unicorn suit, and two wearing tiger clothes.

He had personally seen the Jinyi Wei official wearing a unicorn suit, and he heard that it was an official uniform rewarded by the emperor, and only those who were close to the emperor had the opportunity to wear it.

In other words, those officers and soldiers are brocade guards, and the ones who wear unicorn suits are still senior officials who are close to the emperor.

However, how could Jin Yiwei appear in this poor country?

Just in confusion, the Jinyi guard had already caught up with the group of people in colorful clothes, the long knives flew over, and several more were chopped, and the rest of the people knelt down with brushes, crying and begging for mercy.

The Jinyi guard dismounted, and the rope strung the people together, and two of the Jinyi Wei officials walked towards Zhuangzi.

Seeing this situation, Meng Guiming couldn't help but be a little nervous.

Although Jinyiwei has lost his position now, he still understands the truth that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

"Who is the owner here? Come out and speak. As the two brocade guards approached, one of them in an embroidered tiger suit asked in a rough voice.

Meng Guiming hurriedly arched his hand: "Little old man Meng Guiming, the owner of this village, has seen several adults. ”

The Jinyi Wei shouted coldly: "We are the Beizhen Fusi Jinyi Wei, who was ordered to investigate and deal with the Wei Rebellion Yu Party, chased here, and saw that the Rebel Party wanted to run into your Zhuangzi, therefore, we suspect that there is someone in this Zhuangzi who is implicated with Wei Rebellion, so we don't hurry up and open the door of the Zhuang, let me wait to enter the Zhuang to investigate." ”

Hearing this, Meng Guiming couldn't help but shudder.

He had heard the word Wei Zhiyu Party, as soon as this group of Jinyi Wei came, they opened their mouths and said that their Meng family was Wei Weiyu's party?

This...... As soon as this hat is buttoned down, their Meng family will not have to be beheaded all over the house?

However, he didn't dare to open the door casually, not to mention whether this group of people was Jinyiwei or not, even if it was, it would make them Zhuangzi a lot.

Meng Guiming wiped his cold sweat and said with a bitter face: "My lord, I am wronged, our Meng family has been innocent for generations, and we have been strict with the rules, and we have never been a Wei rebel party." ”

"If your Meng family is not Wei Zhiyu's party, how can these people desperately run to your Meng family's Zhuangzi?"

"My lord, I don't know why these people are like this, maybe ...... Maybe he just wants to hide in Zhuangzi and ask for a way to live. ”

"Humph! Wei Shunyu's party will have a way to live if you enter your Zhuangzi, and you dare to say that you are not Wei rebel's party? ”

Meng Guiming's face changed greatly: "My lord...... Wronged! ”

At this time, the high-ranking official next to him waved his hand impatiently: "Luo Baihu, less than his nonsense, quickly send an order to Shanxi Xingdu Division, transfer a large army to attack Zhuangzi, and sweep away the rebel party." ”

"Yes."

Another brocade-clothed guard took the command and turned the horse's head.

"Adult ......"

Meng Guiming almost fainted, trembling and holding on to the wall, shouting: "Your Excellency has come from afar, working hard all the way, please wait for a while, the village went into the mountains to suppress bandits a few days ago, and seized some wealth and stolen money, and Lord Lao will hand it over on his behalf." ”

"Quick, go to the treasury and get five hundred taels...... No, take a thousand taels of silver, quickly. Meng Guiming hurriedly said to the housekeeper next to him.

"Yes."

The steward ran away.

Who knows, the big official who was so angry snorted: "Hmph! This official has been tracking down Wei and the remnants of the party for days, tirelessly working hard, people are sleepy and lacking, and when it comes to your broken Zhuangzi, you not only keep the official out of the door, but also want the official to hand over the stolen money for you? Who gave your dog guts? ”

Hearing this, a big stone fell in Meng Guiming's heart.

The other party did not directly refuse the wealth, and said that people are sleepy and lacking, which is already obvious.

Not only did they ask for silver, but they also wanted to go into the Zhuangzi to eat and find a few women to serve them.

As long as you don't put Wei Weiyu's hat on the head of the Meng family, it doesn't matter if you give some money to women.

"Quick, open the door of the village, welcome a few adults in, hurry up and let the kitchen prepare wine and good food, and find a few younger, good-looking women to come over...... Let the two concubines of Zhongliang and Zhongchang also come over to serve. ”

Meng Guiming did not doubt him, and hurriedly rushed downstairs.

The Jinyi guard outside the door didn't embarrass him anymore, and after scolding a few words, he drove those Wei Yiyu who were tied up in strings to Zhuangzi, and the corpses on the ground were also brought in.

Meng Guiming was afraid of the crooked-looking and rude guards and miners, so he drove everyone to the east and west watchtowers, with only a housekeeper and two clever guards, and there were more than 20 people on the gatehouse.

When those brocade guards approached, Meng Guiming quietly raised his head, not daring to look directly at the big official, only secretly glanced at the dazzling unicorn suit.

"How many people are there in your village?" The senior official asked suddenly.

Meng Guiming hurriedly bowed his head: "Lord Hui, there are one hundred and sixteen members of the Meng family in this village, two hundred and forty maids, fifty people in the courtyard, and one hundred and eighty people in the town who are trained to prevent thieves, a total of more than five hundred and eighty people. ”

As he spoke, he muttered secretly in his heart, strange, how did the pattern on the unicorn suit look like a painting?

Meng Guiming glanced at the other Jinyi guards and those Wei Yiyu who were arrested, and his doubts became even greater, the official uniforms worn by those Jinyi guards were all brand new materials, and the patterns on them seemed to be painted.

Obviously, they are dressed in new and bright official uniforms, but the horses they boast of are thin and weak, and they are constantly playing rough at the moment, as if they are tired.

And those Wei rebels against the remnants of the party...... The pot-bellied rich man looks black, and the little daughter-in-law with a rat head and rat brain and colorful clothes has big hands and feet, and her face is also black, and she can't see the appearance clearly.

"Beizhen Fusi is ordered to track down Wei and the rest of the party, everyone must not act rashly, wait for the investigation, and those who act recklessly will not be forgiven!"

The group of brocade guards entered the Zhuangzi, and after a loud shout, they all picked up their knives and went upstairs.

The guards on the gatehouse hurriedly put down their weapons and stood obediently in the corner, not daring to move.

Meng Guiming's heart flashed a hint of malice, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a fast horse galloping in the distance.

That's the sentry he let out.

"Oh no, the thieves are coming......" the knight shouted from afar.

Meng Guiming sighed in his heart, he was tricked!

At this moment, a long knife was placed on his neck.

"Master Meng, offended, let's go into the village and talk."

"If a hero wants money and food, take it, and ask the hero to spare the little old man and his family."

Meng Guiming reacted extremely quickly, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly arched his hand and begged in a low voice.

The senior official smiled: "Master Meng, the brothers are here to save the lives of your family, please." ”
