Section 327 Kill the wolf, 6
The heavy stone doors of the secret passages can only be opened from the inside, and if they are all closed, you can only go down from the only one of the several wells connected by the tunnel in the patriarch's courtyard, and climb in through the small door in the well wall to open the stone door, so that the tunnel can be reactivated.
The small hole leading to the tunnel in the wall of other wells is just a tunnel vent, narrow and tortuous, you just fall into the well, notice that there is a hole in the wall of the well, and you can't see from this end that it is actually connected to a secret channel, and people can't enter.
Taking advantage of the chaotic situation in that year, the Liao State was not familiar with the situation in the Yanyun area, the control was weak, and the rule was full of loopholes.
This kind of precautionary means, at that time, was very common for the Han family with strength against Yan Yun.
It was also prevented from many horse thieves and robbers breaking down their homes at that time, and also from the Khitans, who were foreign rulers, from targeting their family property and violently seizing their wealth.
The people who can keep secrets the most are of course the dead.
Hundreds of people who built the secret road were naturally killed by the Yandi Han people from other places who were deceived by the 'kind' Cui family with high salaries.
The existence of secret dungeons, etc., often means bloody and cruel in itself, and it has always condensed countless unjust souls.
The Cui family, a family that has been inherited for too long, according to the bloody secrets of many other big families in history, feels that this is a very normal means of self-preservation, and naturally does not think that getting rid of migrant workers is cruel and should not be done.
Since the tunnel was built, nearly a hundred years ago, the Cui family has been active and good because of the close follow-up of the Khitan government, and the generation of representatives has been active and good, and has been praised by the Khitan government. The Cui family and the Ding family are prosperous, and they are becoming more and more safe, and the tunnel has never been used, but the secret inheritance is endless, and the facilities of the tunnel have been kept normal and carpeted secretly. Light the light and let it be guaranteed to escape at any time.
Normally, the stone doors through which the lords enter the tunnels are always open.
At that time, as long as Patriarch Cui killed Xue Limei, fled into the tunnel, and closed the stone gate, Zhao Yue would not be able to chase and kill even if he detected the secret of the bed.
However, the old guy's sudden death made his stone door not close, and the door that everyone else had closed after escaping in was useless.
It's not like there's no mechanism in the tunnel.
There are many Dark Crossbow and Tribulus Terrestris launchers. It is guaranteed that the copperhead and iron arm of the person who pursues it will also be killed; The underground gathering place connects to the escape passage, and there is also a stone gate to cut off the secret escape from the place.
In order to allow the patriarch and his son to arrive smoothly, the person who arrived first could not turn on the mechanism launch device, nor could he close the stone door partition, so that Cheng Ying and Golden Eagle, who entered desperately and recklessly, were not only safe and sound, but also chased and killed several old guys of the Cui family who couldn't run all the way, and chased them all the way into the courtyard at the end.
Zhao Yue also got this kind of cheapness.
The men of the Cui family who lived in the fort never dreamed that their lives would be killed by their patriarch in the end.
The last gang in this courtyard escaped. The enraged Cheng Ying, Golden Eagle and Stupid Hammer brothers were all killed at once, making Zhao Yue's interrogation plan fall through. But after listening to the words of the king's recitation. Including Zhao Yue, the people in this courtyard shuddered violently.
The sound of toothache and gasps rang out one after another.
Not frozen, of course, but horrified.
The thirty or fifty people who eat him in the Water Margin are actually the lowest in Liangshan among the heroes of Liangshan.
But such a person is also a strong person who can only produce one out of hundreds or even thousands of people.
As the old saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, but one will be difficult to save.
Hero. It's not something that a bold, fierce, and brave person can do.
The forty or fifty nursing homes that closely guarded the Cui family's mansion were all good according to Wang Nianjing.
Those who can cause obstacles and dangers to first-class masters, and can be praised by first-class masters for their ability, should have the level of Liangshan heroes who can't eat him by thirty or fifty people, and they are also an extraordinary man who can only produce one out of hundreds or thousands of people.
There are dozens of people in such a nursing home, who are orphans and beggars made up by the Cui family. How many homes would have to be destroyed to create these orphanages?
Moreover, these orphans are just fish that escaped the net for various reasons when their relatives were forced to die and killed by the Cui family.
It's still a young fish that can remember.
It's just that among the nurses, how many fish are there because they are too young to remember and don't know that the person who raised them is the enemy?
In this way, how many more innocent people will die?
Over the years, the number of innocent families who have died at the hands of the Cui family is unimaginable.
Zhao Yue's feeling of living in this life is basically experiencing a three-dimensional movie with a strong sense of substitution, and he can't get out of it, making it more realistic.
With his steely heart in this world, he couldn't help but feel a thrill when he thought about this.
This is simply the amount of destruction that can only be produced by the massacre of the devil legions such as the Japanese in later generations.
But it was a war of aggression to the death. It is completely different from the nature of what the Cui family did.
The bloody ferocity of this family is outrageous.
The accumulation of capital, which lacks technical content, is indeed bloody.
The arrogant and lascivious life enjoyed by those who do not work hard is indeed based on countless blood and tears in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood.
Those who rebelled against the water at this juncture, the women and children of the Cui family who frantically retaliated against the slaughter of the mansion, must have been driven by the outbreak of hatred that had been hidden in their hearts for too long, and they had already figured out that the sins created by the Cui family were too serious, and it was not too much to be punished by cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots.
Presumably, the crazy anti-water people did it with peace of mind and a clear conscience when they slaughtered the women and children of the Cui family.
Zhao Yue is the humanistic thought of the innocent in later generations, but at this moment, I really don't know whether the innocent children and descendants of such a family should talk about humane forgiveness.
There are a lot of cheaters in the world. It seems that there is no accumulation of virtue for the sake of longevity, and there is no shortage of children and grandchildren.
Zhao Yue felt uncomfortable for a while, and he felt like vomiting.
At this moment, he didn't want to think about the Cui family anymore, so he shifted his mind and asked 'hooks', 'hammers', and 'axes': "I have met by fate, and I don't know the names of several heroes." ”
Cheng Ying and Golden Eagle reported their names first. Because the master is a monk, the two grew up next to the Buddha and usually dress up as a cloth. Because of the weapons and the secret fruit of the act, the people of the rivers and lakes called Yanyun scorpion-tailed two males. The people know his name, but they don't know his people.
The Hammer brothers are really a pair of brothers, or twin brothers, the first born is called Ningzuo, and the younger brother is called Ningyou.
Zhao Yue couldn't help frowning when he heard this. Then he smiled again.
These two stupid big men are not called by the wrong name, they are responsible for the work of the Zuoyou Cui family, and their temperament is enough from the perspective of behavior, and they are not wrongly surnamed.
The Axe brothers are the sons of two families, one is called Bahn and the other is called Che Li, both of whom are mixed races with Han Chinese blood.
The essence of the four of them is this simple household, without the name of the rivers and lakes, just because of their strong force. It is used to being called the Four Fierce by the locals.
Zhao Yue cherished the six of them who were brave and good at fighting and had a good character, and he didn't want them to be exiled to the Liao State, or even reduced to serving the Liao State, so he had the intention to accept them, so he asked: "I don't know what your plans are in the future?" ”
You can't stay any longer. The rest of the Cui family has its own Yan King to clean up. You have no revenge to find, shouldn't you think of a way out?
Cheng Ying asked rhetorically: "Brother Tai." You're from Song, right? ”
Zhao Yue nodded: "Not bad." Under is Cangzhou Zhao Yue. ”
He spoke softly and naturally, but he heard the six of them speak in unison.
The golden eagle asked first: "You are the second son of Cangzhou Zhaojiazhuang?" ”
Zhao Yue was a little puzzled. Glancing at the shocked faces of the six people, he asked in surprise, "Am I famous here?" ”
"You removed that word."
Cheng Ying laughed: "And it's not very famous, it's a big name." Not to mention the Yanyun Han people, even the Khitan people know your name. ”
The golden eagle said with a smile: "The difference is that most of the Han people admire your family's compassion and heroes. Most of the Khitan people are afraid of the horror of your family. ”
The boss of the Hammer Brothers, Ning Zuo, also said in a muffled voice: "We are people who can't read a basket of big characters, and we have heard about you and admire you very much." ”
The four of them are the secret receivers deliberately cultivated by the Cui family and the bodyguards on the way to escape, and in the hearts of the Cui family, of course, the higher the force, the better. The more ignorant and ignorant people are, the more stupid they are, the better they can be deceived, and they naturally don't get the opportunity to read and read, and they are almost blind. He didn't do any other work, and he got enough money for four people to eat and drink, but he never had to leave without permission, and he never went out thirty miles away.
Cangzhao is already famous. Zhao Yue is the most famous son of the Great Song Dynasty and a hot topic that people are keen to talk about.
The four of them are good at drinking, and they often go to the tavern to drink when they have nothing to do, and they often listen to the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty who come and go from the south to the north because the locals inquire or encounter each other to mention Cangzhao, which will inevitably lead to the topic of Zhao Yue, or praise or scold Zhao Yue's deeds.
They have heard of Zhao Yue's name for a long time, as ordinary people who have been oppressed by foreign officials, they naturally love heroes who fight for power, and they can't be such heroes, but they have special admiration in their hearts for Zhao Yue, a wealthy alien who does not forget his roots.
Zhao Yue didn't like to be a target in front of everyone's attention, so he frowned slightly, but thinking that such a famous person was not a weapon to gather the hearts of foreign Han people, he didn't mind anymore, and remembered to act more cautiously in the future and put this matter aside.
Cheng Ying and Jin Diao immediately expressed their willingness to follow Zhao Yue, mainly to see if it was true that Zhao Yue said that he had the means to destroy the Cui family.
Completely eradicating the Cui family, revenge and hatred are the only spiritual pillars of their survival over the years.
If there is really no enemy to kill, they are relaxed, but they are also confused, they don't know what to do in the future, and it is nothing to be Zhao Yue's follower.
This can be regarded as a kind of gratitude to Zhao Yue for helping them realize their wishes.
The Hammer and Axe brothers know almost nothing about the specifics of the outside world, and there is nowhere to go without this. With Zhao Yue's choice, he naturally followed: "If the son doesn't dislike what we can eat but can't do anything, we are willing to go with you." ”
Zhao Yue smiled, knowing that they were all sincere, and happily accepted the six generals, and found out that this place was indeed outside the fort, in the east of the village, and there were only a few households away from the edge of the village.
A fire had already raged in the city, and the flames were shining brightly in the sky, illuminating a large area around it.
Zhao Yue keenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming in the distance, and knew that the Liao army in the southwest town had reacted.
Time is of the essence and it is necessary to retreat quickly. But I don't know how things are going in the city.
He immediately got on his horse, got out of the yard and ran to the castle. Wang Nianjing, Cheng Ying, and the golden eagle hurriedly got on their horses and followed.
The Cui family was always on guard against the Liao army or the government turning their faces to destroy them, and stored in the Ning family's new and good clothes that were good for all seasons, such as furs that were easy to wear when they fled naked in a hurry. The three soldiers and the four fierce men who passed by with Wang Nian were all men who could live, and they were reluctant to throw them away, so they quickly loaded them in sacks, loaded them, and rushed to the city with the rest of the war horses.
On the village road illuminated by the fire, Zhao Yue quickly entered the castle, ran all the way, passed through the burning peripheral houses, saw the dead bodies of many peripheral thugs but did not see a single living person, and when he arrived at the door of the Cui family's mansion, he saw more than 20 soldiers guarding a group of war horses waiting there.
It turned out that when the city was being attacked, Shi Yong and the Pan brothers led their generals and some of their subordinates to climb the city wall with Wang Nianjing, cleared the sentry in the watchtower, and ran down the road to open the city gate to let the soldiers enter, but unfortunately they were found by the sentry who was peeing out of the house at the city gate, and the more than 20 guards who rushed out of the house immediately fought together, although the trouble was quickly solved, and the soldiers who quickly opened the city gate and let the soldiers outside the city gate kill in, but completely alarmed the people in the castle.
Shi General Shi Yong saw that the sneak attack had been exposed, and heard that Wu Neng and Xu Jin had already entered the Cui family's mansion, so he simply asked his subordinates to light torches, and divided twenty people to meet Zhao Yue to eliminate the guards in the mansion and the main target of the Cui family, and then robbed the horses there.
The few thugs who raised horses were the opponents of the ten Cangzhao soldiers.
The horses were easy to get their hands on, and the horse equipment was in the house where the horse breeders lived, which was convenient for the thugs to use when they went out, and now it was also convenient for the Cangzhao soldiers to quickly assemble.
The thugs on the periphery woke up in their sleep, and their reactions were also quick, hurriedly dressed and hated, brandishing knives and guns and howling and rushing out of the house to fight, but they died one after another in the barrage of crossbows and sharp knife slaughter.
These people are just following the Cui family to eat for the tiger, how can they fight to the death for others.
After a large number of fierce people rushed up and tried to intercept and kill the invaders but died first, knowing that the comers were not good and invincible, Cuijiabao was finished, and the rest were scattered, busy grabbing their own things in the fire house, and then there were women with conscience to take women, and women without women and conscience quickly escaped from the castle alone, and I don't know where they all went.
The battle broke out suddenly and for a very short time.
Zhao Yue saw that the battle in the mansion had long been over, and he was greatly relieved to learn from Shi Yong that there were hundreds of good horses here, and it was not a problem to retreat quickly.
The second housekeeper of the Cui family, the backbone slaves, and the bodyguards who loyally protected the lord in the mansion, died a really confused death.
These good horses specially kept in the mansion were specially used by the master's family for them to break through with their masters, but they were actually deceived by the master's family, deceived to death, and deceived generation after generation.
The main family had another secret escape route, and did not flee with them at all, but told these key members that if the enemy was strong and could not do anything, they would organize themselves to get on their horses and rush out.
The Cui family issued the same mask to them, saying that everyone wore masks and rushed out freely, and in the chaos, it was difficult for the enemy to recognize who was who, and it was difficult for the enemy to deal with whom, in fact, to cover up the truth that they were not among them. But these people think that this is conducive to the safety of the main family, and they all understand and approve of the main family's arrangement.
The Cui family had a hiding place for these people after they fled in a remote place on the Yanshan branch to the west. The power of having a good horse to escape and knowing where to hide is a reward system for loyal backbones, so that these people are proud and grateful.
These people did not know that the main family had a nest in the mountains, and when they fled, they also fled in the opposite direction to the hidden hiding place in the east, not knowing that they were just the victims of blocking the enemy's invasion first, and then breaking through to divert the attention and pursuit of the master.
