Yang Qin led his troops back to Yangtan Water Village, and saw the remaining ruins and broken walls, more than 40 corpses were frozen and placed on the blackened barn field, and his wife Zhou Rong was nowhere to be found, and was taken away by thieves with two children.

"Ho, ho, ho!"

Yang Qin roared angrily and pulled out his saber and slashed at a piece of burnt beams, venting his inner remorse and resentment, chopping wood chips everywhere, and a fine iron hundred forged knife was also cut beyond recognition.

"Big shopkeeper, come over and see if this is not the handwriting left by my sister-in-law." A sturdy man ran over and asked Yang Qin to follow him.

The mansion is built with blue brick walls, covered with small tiles, and the courtyard is relatively empty, except for the warehouse, the back kitchen, and the back shed where firewood and grass are stacked and sundries are completely burned down, the atrium and front yard can not burn a fire, and the damage is not serious, and it is basically kept intact.

Zhou Rong's handwriting was hidden in an inconspicuous corner of the front yard, and it was three words that were deducted from the green bricks with her fingernails, and a small half of her fingernails were broken under the wall.

However, when others saw these three words, they suspected that they were deliberately left by the thieves who attacked the village, but after his wife Zhou Rong got married, he followed him to read and write, and the horizontal folding pen used to write separately, Yang Qin would definitely not admit his mistake.

"Ji Kun, this dog thief, if you don't break it into thousands of pieces, I, Yang Qin, will be a person in the world!" Yang Qin's heart and lungs were about to explode, and he swore and cursed.

At this time, someone came to say that he had seen the whereabouts of the two oared canopies that had been hijacked.

Yang Qinqiang held back the resentment in his heart, he expected that Ji Kun would not bring out many people this time, and he had only asked them to cooperate in assassinating Han Daoxun, the assassin of Xuzhou, thinking that as long as Ji Kun's whereabouts were caught, there should be a chance to rescue his wife and daughter.

However, he was worried that Ji Kun, who was hiding in the shadows, might kill them again, so this time he left most of the men and horses in the remnants of the village, and only took more than 30 subordinates to search the east beach in an oarboat.

In the evening, Yang Qin and the others found two abandoned oars in the reeds, and when they wanted to find a place to land and continue to track each other's traces, they saw the fire rising again in the direction of Yangtan Water Village.

Yang Qin made people pull up the sails and retreat, seven or eight miles away, saw more than 30 oars boats, surrounded the Yangtan Water Village, in the firelight, hundreds of soldiers and horses, holding high swords and shields to wade the water to land.

Except for the Jiangzhou Water Camp, there is no force near Poyang Lake that has so many oarboats.

Seeing this scene, Yang Qin's intuition was faintly black in front of him, and he almost fainted, he originally thought that Ji Kun would not dare to expose their conspiracy and deeds to assassinate Han Daoxun, the assassin of Xuzhou, and he would not dare to alarm the place, where did he think that the ruthlessness of Ji Kun and these people was far beyond his imagination.

"......" Yang Qin's forehead was exposed, and after biting the back groove, he let out a low roar like a beast, eager to fly back to Shuizhai with people with wings, and cut down the sneak attack of the state soldiers, but in addition to anger, the only remaining trace of reason told him that the Shuizhai formation was in chaos, and he couldn't hold on for much time, and he led the last remaining more than 20 people back, and he was just sent to death.

After waiting for a night, I saw more than 30 oars boats sailing away from Yangtan Water Village under the morning light, going down the river, and returning to Shuiyingwu Port in the southeast of Jiangzhou City.

At this time, the Yangtan Water Village was called a corpse all over the field.

In addition to the small two hundred thieves left by Yang Qin, all the men, women and children in the village were slaughtered, and their heads were also cut off to receive merit, leaving only six or seven hundred headless corpses, piled up on the ground.

At this moment, Yang Qin really fainted urgently, dragged down by two resentful subordinates, and quietly left the water village that had been completely abandoned......

…………

…………

"The surname Ji is really a ruthless master!"

Han Qian sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the sparkling water of Poyang Lake under the remnant sun, as if thousands of gold and silver were in the lake, and said with emotion.

Han Qian also thought that the attack on the camp the night before was planted on the head of the staff division and lured Yang Qin and Ji Kun to eat the dog, which should be able to severely damage the deployment of the staff division in Jiang'e and other places, but he didn't expect Ji Kun not only to guess at the first time that they were responsible for the sneak attack on Yangtan Water Village the night before, but also unusually decisively directly transferred the soldiers and horses of the Jiangzhou water camp to directly exterminate the water forces in Yangtan Water Village.

However, after the Jiangzhou Water Battalion soldiers and horses were dispatched to completely exterminate the Yangtan Water Village, Han Qian expected that the water forces in Poyang Lake would be deterred, and Ji Kun should no longer be able to borrow the water forces in Poyang Lake to embarrass them in a short period of time.

During the two days that Han Daoxun stayed in Jiangzhou, he did not hide in Jiangzhou City, but took everyone to live in a fishing town outside Jiangzhou City.

This is also to create signs that he will leave Jiangzhou at any time, forcing Ji Kun to hurriedly urge Shui Kou to make a move in advance and expose more flaws.

There was no post house outside the city, so Han Daoxun found the local Lizheng, and everyone borrowed a courtyard to live in.

Han Qian led everyone ashore and walked into the courtyard where he was borrowing, and saw his father standing in front of the porch with a tense face, and walked over and asked, "What is it that makes Daddy feel unhappy?" ”

Han Daoxun sighed bitterly, and Fan Xicheng explained beside him: "Jiangzhou Assassin Shi Zhou Ang and Zhong Yanhu of the Tunying Military Mansion invited the old man to inspect the military exploits of the bandits in the afternoon. ”

"Obviously, he killed the good and risked his merits, slaughtered the whole village, and even recklessly took the heads of the old and weak women and children. If the state soldiers do not know how to restrain themselves and act more brutally than the bandits, the Poyang Lake bandits will surely become more and more vigorous, and there will be no time to cut off! Han Daoxun saw that Fan Xicheng was still secretive and did not say it thoroughly, and said angrily.

At this time, Han Daoxun saw Lin Zongjing and others escorting Yang Qin's wife, children and young daughter into the courtyard, and asked Han Qian with a rather unhappy face: "Who are they?" ”

"The wife, children and young daughter of the bandit leader Yang Qin were caught when we broke through the thief village last night," Han Qian saw that his father was angry, but he didn't want to touch anything, and said very honestly, "I was planning to tie it up and send it to the Jiangzhou government for disposal, and when I heard Fan Ye say this, it seems that it is not very appropriate to send it directly to the Jiangzhou government for disposal." ”

Han Daoxun didn't believe that Han Qian had worked hard to get the three of them back, just to send them to the Jiangzhou Mansion for disposal, and waved it, wanting to ask Han Qian to release the person directly, but then asked again: "Zhao Mingting's people, will they be staring at us nearby?" ”

"We gave them more than a day to breathe, Ji Kun should have mobilized a lot of spies to come over, and now directly let the three of them go, it will only fall into the hands of Zhao Mingting's people." Han Qian said hesitantly, he worked hard to get people back, of course he didn't want to let them go like this.

"You bring that woman here, I have something to ask her," Han Daoxun sighed lightly and said, "Those two children will be handed over to Qingyun and Aunt Zhou to take care of." ”

Seeing Han Laoshan and his mother-in-law running over to untie the ropes of the two children and take them away, Han Qian couldn't help but order: "These two little rabbit cubs will bite people, be careful not to let them touch the knife and scissors!" ”

Han Qian motioned to Guo Nuer to untie the rope on Yang Qin's wife, and listened to Fan Xicheng briefly talk about the situation of the state soldiers' water camp entering Yangtan Water Village last night, and then he knew that more than 600 men, women and children in Yangtan Water Village were slaughtered by the Jiangzhou cantonment military envoy.

In addition to the local soldiers and horses in the prefectures and counties, some prefectures and counties with dangerous locations, important positions, or staggered borders with hostile forces, Jinling will also send the elite of the Nanya Forbidden Army to garrison them.

The generals who were responsible for commanding the elite of the Nanya Forbidden Army in the local area usually served as the local cantonment envoys.

Zhong Yanhu was originally a general under the command of Sun Ru, the great demon king who dried human flesh for military food, and after being captured, he joined the Huainan Army.

The Nanya Forbidden Army stationed a battalion of sailors and a battalion of horse infantry troops in Jiangzhou, all of which were under the command of Zhong Yanhu.

Even if Han Qian was not familiar with the situation in Jiangzhou, he had heard of this person's cruel name.

Han Qian also heard Fan Xicheng say that Yang Qin and more than 30 other people were lucky not to be in the village at that time and were able to escape, at this time, Zhou Ang, the assassin of Jiangzhou, and Zhong Yanhu, the military envoy of Jiangzhou, had already ordered the counties to send troops to search and arrest the whole territory, and they couldn't help but light up their eyes.

Han Qian pulled a chair and sat next to his father Han Daoxun, listened to his father ask Yang Qin's wife about the people of Poyang Lake, and interjected: "I guess you also know the fate of Yangtan Water Village at this time. In the past, Ji Kun wanted to assassinate my father, except for a few cronies, it was impossible to wantonly mobilize the secret agents and scouts of the Ministry Division, so he had to contact Yang Qin. However, at this time, as long as Ji Kun has the official letter issued by Jiangzhou to assist in the arrest of Dakou, he can openly transfer a large number of elite spies and scouts into Jiangzhou. Of course, Ji Kun still didn't dare to directly use the scouts of the Ministry of Justice to assassinate the ministers of the imperial court, but it is difficult to say whether your husband can escape this catastrophe. ”

Zhou Rong can also be regarded as a calm woman with everyone's demeanor, she has been married to Yang Qin all these years, taught her husband and children, presided over the affairs of the village, and is also a master who cannot be despised in the eyes of all thieves and soldiers, but no matter how strong her heart is, she can't face the strange changes and tragedies of the past two days.

"The so-called cunning rabbit three caves, I see that Yang Tan Water Village has accumulated so much grain and grass, I believe that Yang Qin should still have a hiding place outside," Han Qian stared at Yang Qin's wife Zhou Rong, "If you don't want to delay time, and finally sit back and watch your husband fall into the hands of Ji Kun and turn into their military exploits for promotion to knighthood, you might as well help us, please come over and ask your husband to come over, and everyone sit down and have a cup of tea and chat." ”

Zhou Rong didn't know what else to trust about the people who ruthlessly killed more than 40 people in the water village and set fire to the water village the night before.

Seeing that Yang Qin's wife was silent, Han Qian smiled and said: "If you don't keep quiet, it's okay, we can stay in Jiangzhou for one more day at most, we can't take Dakou's wife Xiao Xi into the west for no reason, and then we can only hand you over to the Jiangzhou Mansion, maybe Yang Qin has great powers and can rob you from the Jiangzhou prison!" ”

Zhou Rong's face turned pale, took off a silver bracelet from his wrist, and said: "My husband may go to Meiwu Port in the east of Jiangzhou Shuiying to inquire about the news, if you really want to see my husband, you can take this bracelet to Meiwu Port to guard ......"

"Most of the eyeliner arranged by your family in Meiwubu has been pulled out by the people of the Ministry of Staff, so that they were wiped out by the Jiangzhou Water Camp without realizing it at all; Or maybe the eyeliner there has been bought by the people of the Ministry Division, Yang Qin really wants to run over to inquire about the news, and the gods can't save him. My men can't just go to their deaths, you can tell me where to go. Han Qian said.

"My maternal cousin is a blind fortune teller sitting in Jiangzhou City, and no outsiders know about it......"

"Okay, you write a letter, I'll have someone send it, come and drink tea, depending on his mind, my people won't sit there with your bracelet and wait." Han Qian said, let Zhao Ting'er bring pen and ink.
