Volume 1 Chapter 58 Escaped overnight
When a group of people arrived in Yuxi Township, they happened to meet Chen Yiding who was about to go out to run errands, and Liu Ximing grabbed Chen Yiding and took him into the house to hide: "Uncle, something is wrong......", and even the grandmother and others in the house didn't have time to say hello.
Chen Yiding was taken into the house by Liu Ximing before he could react, and when he heard Liu Ximing explain today's events thoroughly, he and everyone in the Chen family in the house were so frightened that their jaws almost dropped.
Beating the official, when did the Liu family become so bold.
"Bastard, what a bastard, you often think you are a brain, how can you do such a stupid thing today, what is the difference between this and killing officials and rebelling!"
Uncle Chen Yi walked around the house calmly, and catching Liu Ximing was a stinking scolding, he was really anxious in his heart, if the official messenger was so easy to fight, would they dare to come to the township?
After turning around for a long time, Chen Yiding turned his head and saw Liu Ximing and a few other teenagers standing there with their heads drooping, remembering that it was his sister's son after all, Chen Yiding felt that he couldn't ignore it again, and turned his head to his wife Chen Zhoushi and said, "You go and get five taels of silver." ”
"Who are these people?" Chen Yiding asked Liu Ximing while cleaning up in the house.
Liu Ximing didn't have the time to introduce it in detail at this time, so he had to vaguely say a few words about the young man from the same village.
Chen Yiding didn't care, frowned and thought for a while and said to Liu Ximing: "I don't have anything to do now, for today's plan, you first take your home and escape overnight, and the officers and soldiers will arrive tomorrow, find a place to hide first, and when things stop, I will see if I can ask someone to ask for mercy." After speaking, he stuffed the silver in Chen Zhou's hand into Liu Ximing's hand.
Liu Ximing was moved, but he pushed the silver back with all his might, not only that, but he took out another twenty taels of silver, stuffed it into his uncle's hand and said: "Since my uncle also said so, I must be really desperate, I will take someone home to clean up, please accept this money, and I will honor a few elders." ”
didn't wait for Chen Yiding to resign, and pulled Li Biao and a few people out directly.
Seeing that Liu Ximing's mood was very low, Yu Yongkai comforted: "Second brother, don't worry, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as you take everyone with you, everyone will rush forward without saying a word." ”
"That's right, second brother, let's go with you."
……
A group of teenagers comforted Liu Ximing with gossips, so that Liu Ximing regained some confidence, and he didn't waste his efforts for a few months, so he finally gathered a group of team.
"That's what your uncle said?" Liu Chen and Aunt Wu were not at home in the afternoon, and they came back at this time to hear such a big bad news, both of them are women's families, where have they dealt with these things, they are so frightened that they almost shed tears.
"Mother, Aunt Wu, it seems that we can only run away first and then say, this matter is not big, it is not small, anyway, our family has money, and after a while, the limelight is over, it may not be impossible to erase this matter." Liu Ximing could only keep comforting them.
In fact, he didn't have any bottom in his heart, damn it, he originally wanted to develop slowly, but he didn't know that people sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.
Forced labor and management to be anxious, and now it's the fucking opposite, Liu Ximing thought fiercely, but looking at the only twenty teenagers in the room, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
"Okay, let's hurry up and clean up, just take some change of clothes, and buy other things when the time comes, and we'll leave when it's over."
Liu Ximing finally persuaded Liu Chen and the others, and quickly arranged for everyone to clean up, thinking that if he left too early and was seen by the villagers, he was afraid that the officers and soldiers would chase after him tomorrow, so he decided to wait for the villagers to fall asleep before leaving.
Due to the recent repair of the house at home, a few masons from the city were specially invited, and at this moment they were living in a temporary shed behind the house, in order not to alarm them, the Liu family quietly slipped out of the house like thieves.
A group of people did not dare to light torches, so they had to walk outside the village in the dark, but fortunately it was May, and they could barely see the road in the moonlight.
Liu Xi ordered them to discuss it on the road, and now that the case was committed in Nanchong County, if the Zhang family continues to promote, I am afraid that the entire Shunqing Mansion will have to go to the sea to catch documents. The last time Liu Ximing heard Xie Cheng Zhou inspect the county, he said that there was a civil unrest between Baoning Mansion and Shunqing Mansion, and no one would pay attention to them, so he planned to go to Baoning Mansion to hide for a while.
Of course, he also has other ideas after thinking about it, if he is found in Baoning Mansion and reports to the official, he has food and money, and he can pull up a few teams to come out casually while there are homeless people everywhere, and then kill back to Shunqing Mansion to take revenge.
Fuck you, labor and management have finally crossed over, and you can still be bullied by you big dogs?
"Second brother, look at it."
A group of people walked out of a distance of more than a quarter of an hour, and Wei Jingguo, who was broken at the back of the team, inadvertently glanced back, and immediately shouted loudly.
"Shhhhhh Liu Ximing lowered his voice and scolded.
Wei Jingguo was yelled at and didn't dare to speak, so he only pointed in the direction of Zhangjiawan Village with his hand.
Yu Yongkai and others also followed, looking at it with Liu Ximing, now they are walking on a small hillside, looking back at a glance, I saw that Zhangjiawan Village didn't know when the fire was flourishing, and from a distance, there were fire shadows dancing everywhere.
"Did the officers and soldiers catch up?"
A few young people exclaimed in low voices.
Liu Ximing looked at it carefully for a while and shook his head and said: "It's not like it, if the official army comes, it should just light the torch, but at the moment, it looks like several houses are on fire, it can't be that the official army can't find us, and vent the anger of the villagers, right?" ”
Yu Yongkai and the others looked at each other, and several people said in unison: "It's not impossible." ”
Liu Ximing was dumbfounded for a while, thinking of what happened to Yu Yongkai's family, it is really possible for the officials and soldiers in this year to do this!
Twenty or so people stood on tiptoe to look in the direction of the village, and after a while, there seemed to be a cry from the wind, faintly echoing in the silent hills.
"The village has really suffered a disaster, mother, Aunt Wu, I'll take the Longxiang team back to take a look, you guys are hiding here, if it's really the officials and soldiers killing innocents indiscriminately, we can't see death without help."
Liu Ximing heard the cry in the wind, and finally determined that something was wrong in the village, and his heart was suddenly angry, these dog mongrels are really not as good as bandits.
When Liu Chen and the others saw such a scene, their hearts fluttered with fright, and they were willing to let their son go back, so they hurriedly stopped them with Aunt Wu.
Liu Ximing could only keep persuading: "If you don't save you when you see death, it's unkind." There are many people in the village who have helped our family, and now we have the strength to save it, because it is unjust. Does Mother want us to be unkind and unrighteous people, besides, we just go to find out the news first, I will do what I can, if there are few officers and soldiers, we will look for opportunities to save people, if there are many officers and soldiers, we will withdraw directly, and there is not much danger in thinking about it. ”
When Liu Chen heard him say this, he remembered that his family was a scholarly family, so he had to let them go even if he was teary-eyed.
Liu Ximing hurriedly led the Long Xiang team to gallop all the way to the village, and it was dark at night, even if the moonlight was falling, several people fell on their heels.
When they arrived at the woods near the village, Liu Ximing stopped everyone and asked everyone to take a breath, and he and Yu Yongkai quietly walked a few steps forward, squatting in the grass to observe the situation in the village.
The fire in the village is burning more and more, most of the houses are thatched huts, but now the fire is even more fierce with the wind, and the whole village is a sea of fire, and sometimes you can see a few figures chasing and killing the villagers inside, and there are already several corpses lying there in the place where they enter the village.
"Hiss", Liu Ximing and Yu Yongkai gasped, where did this come from, so vicious.
"Second brother, this doesn't seem to be an official army, in the past, the officials and soldiers looted, and there were few people who burned people's houses, and it was not like this to slaughter the whole village." Yu Yongkai saw some clues and whispered to Liu Ximing.
Liu Ximing nodded, he looked at the village along the firelight, and analyzed with Yu Yongkai: "It's definitely not the official army, look at those few people with knives, if it is an official army, where would they be dressed like this, and look over there, Zhang Yucheng's family is also on fire." The Zhang family is also a leader in Shunqing Mansion, and the officials and soldiers will not touch these people even if they plunder, it is ......"
"Rogue!"
The two looked at each other and said in unison, their eyes full of horror.
"The county said that there were thieves coming, but I didn't expect us to bump into each other, but I don't know how many people came. If there are too many people, we can only run. Liu Ximing thought that thieves usually haunt in groups, and he was worried for a while.
"Let's go, find a higher place to investigate."
He hurriedly led the group back a few steps into the forest, and when he saw that there were several big trees in this forest, he beckoned a few people who could climb the trees to go up and take a look.
A few people rubbed on the tree, and after a while, they came down and reported back and forth: "Second brother, I counted carefully, it is estimated that there are five or six people with knives in the village, there are still a few figures in our house, and there are also some people in Zhang Yucheng's house, it doesn't look like there are too many, and it seems that there is a fire in Zhengyuan Township." ”
Fortunately, he taught them to read math before, Liu Ximing listened to their words, and pondered with Yu Yongkai: "Zhengyuan Township is much bigger than us, the thief brigade must be over there, and there are only about 20 people in the village at most. ”
"Second brother, let's do it, these bastards are really not human." It has been almost half a year since the Longxiang team came to Zhangjiawan Village, and most of the people in the village are familiar with each other, and seeing that several people were killed in front of their eyes, the young people were full of enthusiasm and asked for battle.
"Okay, then let's go, I won't use a bomb later, everyone listen to my orders, be careful." Liu Ximing remembered that there were several bombs in his space, and he also felt a little confident in his heart.
"Emperor Ziwei blesses, give me weapons and armor."
Liu Ximing hurriedly pretended to take out the armor from the space, afraid that everyone would make a mistake, so he hurriedly advised: "Put on the bamboo armor and take the bamboo gun, this time it is a real knife and a real gun, but if you meet someone with a knife, you will stab it all over." ”
The Liu family's house was on the edge of the village, and the Long Xiang team went to the edge of their house first.
