Chapter 858: Killing in the Rain (Part II)
"No!"
Xue Rengui led his brigade to continue to advance through the reeds, leaving twenty soldiers to guard the slaves. There were always ten or eight of the Gu family's supervisors, and it was impossible to let these slaves go unpunished.
The overseers mingled in the crowd and were dragged out one by one by the soldiers and killed on the spot.
It was easy to distinguish these people from their clothing or mental state, and at the edge of the reed hut were found two neatly built houses, presumably the houses of the overseers. The slaves were tortured in a shapeless shape, and there was no need to cut down the reeds at this time, and only a little food was given every two days, and even if they were left alone, they did not have the strength to get out of the reeds. Several sturdy young men were asleep when their heads were cut off by the soldiers who swarmed in.
As soon as these regulators were cleared out, the follow-up army rushed up.
Su Dingfang looked at the miserable scene like hell in front of him, his eyelids jumped, and he gritted his teeth. Even if the barbarians in the north of the desert outside the Saiwai plundered the people of the Han family, tortured and oppressed them in every way, they could not be worse than what the Gu family did.
How can the dignified Jiangdong wealthy family and the hairpin family be so dehumanized and lose their conscience?
A tall and lanky man walked out of the crowd, let the pouring rain pour down on him, hunched forward, his clothes ragged and unkempt, and before he could get close, a pungent smell came to his face.
The soldiers beside Su Dingfang hurriedly covered their noses with their sleeves, frowned slightly, and shouted: "Stop!" Stand there honestly, say what you have to say, don't come close! ”
The man was frightened, but more than a dozen Gu family supervisors were killed one by one, the red blood seemed to awaken the only remaining courage in his body, he was bold, and said in a trembling voice: "Official, we are just slaves who cut reeds and boiled salt for the Gu family, and beg you not to kill us, I ...... I'll kowtow to you......"
No matter how humble or desperate it is, even if life is worse than death, the desire to survive is the instinct of all living beings. In the face of the possibility of death, these humble slaves like guinea dogs and reptiles still have to seek hope for life.
That's right, no matter how stupid people are, they know that only by living can there be hope......
Su Dingfang didn't seem to be able to smell the disgusting stench, and he didn't seem to be able to see the mottled and purulent ringworm on his face, he took two steps forward, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "A certain is the royal sailor Governor Su Lie Su Dingfang, this time the siege and suppression of the thieves and thieves passed here, and only then did he know the suffering and suffering of the others. You don't need to worry, you will have your own soldiers prepare your ship later, and take you to Huating Town to treat the injured and recuperate. Rest assured, as long as you still have a lot of strength, you can eat in Huating Town and live! ”
After saying that, he explained a few words to the soldiers around him, then turned around and hurried away, heading straight for Gu's Dock Fort.
Behind him, there was a howl like a wolf, mixed with the cry of gratitude......
Jiangdong Gu's family, exterminate human nature like a beast!
If the cash money still has some resistance to Fang Jun's idea of eradicating the Gu family, it is only because the military order cannot be disobeyed that he led the army to raid the Gu family's fort from here, then now, Su Dingfang is even more hated than Fang Jun.
How can such a house of beasts survive in the world?
The army was mighty, galloping through the reeds.
*****
During the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as it rains, it usually lasts for two or three days, which is already a rule, so when the heavy rain falls, all the people who eat with their hands complain.
The fishermen scolded the weather, and the wharf did not allow the fishermen to go to sea in the windy and rainy weather.
The peasants also kept praying that the weather would soon be clear, and if it rained heavily for many days, the crops in the fields would be destroyed, the year's harvest would be gone, and the whole family would starve to death.
As for the workers in Huating Town, they complained non-stop. Only when can you work have work, only when can you eat, this heavy rain does not stop, people are so aggrieved that they are about to get moldy, when can they go to work?
The first moment of the hour.
At this time in the past, the sky has released the white of the fish's belly, and the hard-working people have already eaten breakfast and started their day's work. But at this moment, the rain was pouring down, and the dark clouds covered the sky, and it was like night.
The pouring rain was still pouring, and the entire Huating Town was bathed in heavy rain, and thousands of laborers in the town were also sighing and nesting in their houses, hoping that the heavy rain would soon pass and the sky would soon clear.
In the shop opposite the town office, two figures stood quietly in front of the window, motionless. Wu Duohai closed his eyes, Wei An's sturdy body was like a cold rock, he didn't move, even if the lightning flashed and thundered, his brow didn't even move.
However, Gu Zhu, the third young master of the Gu family, was much more leisurely, although he was as motionless as Wu Duohai, his eyes dropped slightly, staring at the rainwater drops that were carried in by the wind between the cracks of the window and fell on the windowsill, and then splashed up, splashing the corners of his clothes.
The room was filled with the smell of blood.
A few men dressed as men were randomly stacked in a corner, blood staining the ground and turning dark brown, and they had been dead for a long time.
More than a dozen doves and magpie nest masters lay on the ground and on the counter, recuperating.
Time passed minute by minute, but the two people in front of the window were like two sculptures, let him storm and rain, I stood still, and paid close attention to all the movements hidden under the rain outside.
Gu Zhu was very proud in his heart.
What was supposed to be a failed operation turned around and got unexpected luck. Who would have thought that Zhang Liang would also have the heart to put Fang Jun to death? He is now guarding the main gate of the town office, as long as Fang Jun comes back, the moment he shows up, it will be the end of killing with one blow!
The best thing is that as long as you are careful, you can cover up your hiding after killing Fang Jun, and no one can imagine that it is his Gu Candle hand!
We sneaked in during the day, and we've been driven away! This is something that thousands have seen, at that time, we were chased in a panic like a lost dog, how could we assassinate Fang Jun in a blink of an eye?
As for whether Zhang Liang will be betrayed, this is not within Gu Candle's consideration.
If Zhang Liang really came to the rescue of him, then he Gu Zhu naturally thought of this kindness, even if he died, he would not betray Zhang Liang. But the problem is that Zhang Liang didn't have good intentions at all, but just used each other, so he remembered his kindness?
That's stupid......
Suddenly, in the terrible sound of wind and rain, the two faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves mixed with the sound of wind and rain, and Wu Duohai, who had been closing his eyes tightly, finally opened his eyes and muttered: "It's finally here!" ”
Gu Candle beside him tightened the knife in his hand, turned around and shouted in a deep voice: "Get ready!" ”
The other dozen or so people in the room suddenly jumped up, each with his blade in his hand, and gathered around the window.
Soon, in the dim rain and in the midst of the storm, a carriage was hurrying towards this side, and the rain on the streets did not stop the horses from speeding up, and on the left and right of the carriage there were several horsemen guards, and the knights wore hats and robes, and carried horizontal knives at their waists.
The torrential rain was pouring down, and the carriage galloped all the way through the wind and rain, and only stood outside the gate of the town office. Several knights dismounted, and some tried to cover their umbrellas, but as soon as the umbrellas were opened, they were broken by a gust of wind and could no longer be used.
A young man in a strong suit jumped out of the carriage, ignoring the wind and rain, and said: "No need to use an umbrella, such a heavy rain, everyone should hurry in to rest for a while, and let the cook fix a hot pot and have a drink together." ”
With that, he raised his feet and walked towards the gate of the town office.
Gu Zhu in the shop glanced at Wu Duohai, the two were speechless, but they had the same mind, and they picked up the crossbow beside them in no particular order, and aimed at the stocky and sturdy figure outside from the hole poked in the window paper, and suddenly pulled the motive.
The two soft sounds of "Xiu Xiu" were muffled in the raging storm, and the two crossbow arrows pierced through the rain curtain like meteors, stealthily and quickly shooting at the young man in a strong suit who had just jumped out of the carriage.
The distance of three or five zhang is fleeting.
"There are assassins!"
