Chapter 58: The stubbornness that can't get off the stage
"Wenju people!"
The warriors searched near the city gate, but found nothing, and Wang Zezhi roared angrily.
After calming down, he ordered someone to check the goods of the Wenju people.
Then he sorted out the money and goods in the carriage, took away all the most important money, food, weapons, and iron, and threw away some goods that were not very valuable.
As for the mules and horses, take them all.
Wang Zezhi was worried that Wen Juren still had a backhand, and after thinking about it again, he still decided to go back to Heihu Village first, after all, he didn't have enough manpower.
Wang Zezhi released the old and weak officers and soldiers who were guarding the city, and even coaxed and deceived them to guard Shouyang County.
In addition, he wrote a notice, stating that Wenju betrayed the country by the enemy, but as for the affairs of Shouyang Zhixian and others, he did not write a single thing.
This is mainly due to the fact that he has no evidence in his hand, and those letters have been taken away by Li Ruolian, even if there is evidence, he has to think about it, after all, these civil officials are not vegetarians, in case these people beat him up, he will become a thief.
Attach the notice, and then place the bodies of the one hundred and six dead men at the gate of the city.
Of course, the weapons and armor on their bodies were all stripped of them, and the weapons and armor on the dead soldiers, even if they were damaged, were of excellent quality.
Wang Zezhi took the body of his brother who died in battle on the carriage, glanced at Shouyang City, and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, he once again solemnly warned these old and weak people guarding the city that unless someone from the imperial court came, the city gate must not be opened, so as to prevent the Wenju people from escaping from the county seat.
After doing these things, Wang Zezhi led a mighty team of carriages, holding torches, towards the Black Tiger Village.
The wagons were connected end to end, with a warrior guard assigned to every dozen or so carriages.
"My lord, there are homeless people blocking the road ahead, begging for food."
Not long after walking, the convoy encountered a group of displaced people, who stopped at the front of the convoy and begged for food.
"Give them some food, and if they don't leave, kill them all."
"Yes."
Wang Zezhi, who has wandered, knows very well that it is the wanderers who know the kindness, and the one who does not know the kindness is the thief.
"Papa~"
"Ah~ killed! Killed! ”
"I don't know what to do!"
Wang Zezhi, who heard the gunshot, said coldly.
The convoy continued to move forward, and as he passed the borders of the homeless people, the homeless people shivered and gathered together, looking harmless to humans and animals.
Wang Zezhi carried Lu Mi on his shoulders and stood on the carriage and stared at them coldly.
As long as he noticed the slightest mistake, he would not hesitate to shoot these homeless people.
Fortunately, the convoy passed smoothly.
The only thing Wang Zezhi didn't notice was that after they left, two homeless people quietly hung at the back of the convoy and followed.
These two homeless people do not have night blindness, which is rare in this era when they do not even have enough to eat.
They followed them until they were a mile outside the Black Tiger Village, confirmed the location of the Black Tiger Village, made a mark, and then quietly retreated.
After going back, these homeless people gathered together and muttered something, and finally nodded in unison and headed towards Yuxian.
Back in the village, Wang Zezhi immediately woke up the sleeping Yang Zhihui and instructed him to heal the wounded soldiers.
Shouyang blocked Wenju people, killed 52 people in the battle, seriously injured 18 people, slightly injured 6 people, and only 20 people came back completely.
Some of the dead were orphans brought by Qi Qi, some were recruited by Xiong Jiachang, and some were brought by Li San.
Wang Zezhi, who had family members, gave pensions according to the rules set, and as for the pensions for orphans, they were all handed over to those who recruited them.
That is, Qi Qi, Xiong Jiachang, and Li San.
The atmosphere in the village became a little heavy for a while, Wang Zezhi took a deep breath, and asked the brothers in the village to start taking stock of Wenjuren's money and goods.
The people in the stockade received the order and got busy with torches.
Ding Gang was woken up by the movement in the village, rubbing his eyes and waking up.
He closed the door and came to the courtyard, where he saw the corpses lying on the ground.
As soon as the corners of Ding Gang's mouth curled, he knew that Wang Zezhi could not easily take the county seat of Shouyang.
However, when he saw a cart of money and goods being carried into the Zhongyi Hall, he had a trace of doubt.
Could it be that they were angry and looted Shouyang County, otherwise how could they have so much wealth?
Thinking of this, Ding Gang had a gloomy face and walked towards Zhongyi Hall.
In the Zhongyi Hall, Wang Zezhi is reflecting on his own mistakes.
"I'm afraid it's not right for you, right?"
As soon as Ding Gang came in, he shouted at Wang Zezhi in a deep voice.
Wang Zezhi raised his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Is this thing jerking off?"
Wang Zezhi slandered in his heart, Ding Gang's self-righteousness itself had already disgusted Wang Zezhi.
At this moment, he ran in again to reprimand Wang Zezhi, and Wang Zezhi's impression of him was extremely bad.
"What?"
Wang Zezhi frowned and asked unhappily.
"This official said before that if I didn't lead the way, you would definitely suffer heavy losses when you attacked Shouyang City.
But even so, you can't rob the people. ”
Ding Gang didn't even know what was going on, so he questioned him with a face.
"Presumptuous, this official is a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, an official of the six-rank imperial court, you are a small deputy garrison with no rank, and you dare to shout at this official."
Wang Zezhi didn't want to explain to him, so he directly suppressed him with his official position.
"Humph! The court officials should not rob the people, you are knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime will be added to the first degree. ”
Ding Gang said unrelentingly.
Wang Zezhi smiled angrily, his face narrowed, and said, "Ask Yang Zhihui to prepare a few more pairs of medicine for his mother." ”
"Yes."
"Humph! Don't think I'm going to skip it, it's impossible. ”
Ding Gang raised his head and said arrogantly, he thought that Wang Zezhi was currying favor with him.
"Where were you when the Wenju people oppressed the good? Where were you when the Black Tiger Village bullied the merchants? You are worthy of scolding me, you trash? ”
"You... You..."Ding Gang was speechless when asked by Wang Zezhi.
"My lord, the medicine is ready."
"Please, this garbage, carry his mother on his back, immediately, immediately, now, get out of the Black Tiger Village."
"Yes."
The guards in the Zhongyi Hall had already seen him unhappy, and at this moment, they heard the words and left him.
"You... You... You deceive people too much. ”
Ding Gang carried his mother on his back and was kicked out of the stockade.
Wang Zezhi gave him medicine and a torch to prevent their mother and son from dying in the mouths of the beasts.
"Mother, hurry up." Ding Gang rubbed his back and said softly.
"Idiot, why are you doing this?" Ding Gang's mother couldn't figure it out, his son had always been good at forbearance, and today he suddenly became reckless for some reason.
However, she knew that her son was easy to drill the horns, and as long as he decided to do something, ten cows would not be able to pull it back.
"Mother, how can I say that I am also a deputy garrison of a city, let me follow a hairy boy, I am unwilling."
In fact, Ding Gang didn't really want to follow, he just couldn't get off the stage.
He originally thought that Wang Zezhi was a bandit and had some self-contained identity, but he didn't expect him to be an official of the imperial court, which was embarrassing, and the most uncomfortable thing was that Wang Zezhi didn't give him a step.
It's like a person who goes to buy something, he thinks that the things in this store are not good, and he runs around only to find that the things in this store are of the best quality and at a good price, and when he is about to buy them, they are not happy to sell them.
