Chapter 25: A Dozen Crouching Tiger Hills 4
Zhu Gui heard the little guy behind his eldest brother say this, and he was poking at Zhu Gui's sore spot, and his face was red with shame. Zhu Gui took two steps forward, raised his hand and pointed at the little guy and scolded: "You blind boy, where were you when your second master and I worked hard?" Seeing that the second master came back, he said some crazy things that didn't go up or down. He was about to step forward to face a slap, but he saw his eldest brother Li Neng's eyes rolling wildly, and the corners of his mouth pulled to the side, Zhu Gui was puzzled, and was in a daze, and suddenly felt a cold in his neck, and when he was about to look down, a knife leaned out from behind him and put it on his neck, and his two arms were also clamped from behind.
At this time, the little guy next to Li Neng stepped forward with a smile.
Zhu Gui was about to have a seizure, but someone pounced on him from behind, pushed him to the ground, and tied Zhu Gui's two arms with ropes. Looking at the eldest brother Li Neng again, he was still sitting and not moving, the person standing behind Li Neng lifted the robe on Li Neng's body, revealing his hands tied to the chair in front of him, Zhu Gui's heart was half cold, and he thought about it, but he didn't know where the enemy came to the door.
The person standing behind him was not a person from the cottage, untied the rope tied to Li Neng's chair, and four more people came over and escorted Li Neng and Zhu Gui to the outside of the hall. Zhu Gui looked out of the hall, only to see his subordinates rushing back with him, all of them standing in the martial arts arena with their heads wilted, and the thieves who did not go out with him were also tied up one by one and escorted to the martial arts arena. The walls around the arena were full of people with crossbow arrows, and arrows with cold light were facing the arena.
Zhu Guiqiang calmed down, looked at the crossbow-wielding people around the martial arts arena, and asked loudly: "I don't know where you are heroes?" Everyone has no choice but to eat with their mouths, so why force people to come here? ”
Seeing that no one answered, Zhu Gui continued: "Looking at all of you, there is nowhere to stay if you want to come, if you all partner together in this Crouching Tiger Mountain, my two brothers will come one step earlier, and they will also save some food and clothing, as well as some gold and silver, enough for everyone to eat and drink." Just let me go, everyone is talking......"
"you!" An angry shout interrupted Zhu Gui's words, and when Zhu Gui looked back, it was a tall and small guy who was standing next to his eldest brother Li Neng just now and pouring water. "Let me ask you, can your gold and silver buy back the lives of the thirteen people who died yesterday in my Gaojiazhai?" The tall man walked to Zhu Gui's side, glared at Zhu Gui coldly, walked from behind Zhu Gui to the door of the Juyi Hall, stood in front of Li Neng and Zhu Gui, and said loudly to the bandits in the martial arts arena: "We are all Gaojiazhai hunters, and my surname is Gao Mingyuan." You've waited for this to happen, do you understand now? I want my Gaojiazhai to keep to myself, and you Crouching Tiger Mountain is a well water and not a river water, but you rob my cottage, seek money and kill people, rob me of food, and kidnap my sisters, I can only return an eye! After a pause, Gao Yuan said again: "Today will be forever troubled!" ”
In the martial arts arena, the thieves suddenly wailed and begged for mercy.
"You deserve it!"
Another young man, with long black hair, a fair face, heroic eyebrows, and bright eyes like stars, also walked out of the hall, it was Zhou Nan, the person who just laughed at Zhu Gui's "where does the joy come from". Zhou Nan continued: "Ants are still life, grass mustard people, and human life, there are today's things, only blame you for doing a lot of evil in the past." I can't say that I'm going to do the right thing for heaven today. After speaking, Zhou Nan pointed with his hand and raised his voice: "If there is no one who lives, you can stand on the east side; Whoever has a life stands on the west side. ””
Suddenly, the bandits stood on the east side of the martial arts arena, and only a dozen bandits who had killed people walked to the west side with a cold expression. After standing apart, the bandits all looked at Zhou Nan in horror.
"Whoever reports others is exempt from death. Those who do not report what they know are tantamount to murder. Zhou Nan stood on the steps and said another word.
The bandits who had just stood on the east side were now buzzing and chaotic, some hesitating, some pushing, and some whispering, all trying to escape.
Zhou Nan's face sank, and he shouted: "Don't involve others." After three breaths, if you want to report it, you can come forward. If what is said is true, even if you have a human life, you can not kill it. ”
The bandits had different expressions one by one, and those thieves who had a good life mixed with the east side obediently walked to the group of people on the west side after thinking clearly.
Gao Yuan whispered to Zhou Nan: "Da Lang, it's a good way." No one must give themselves to the reason for the lives of others. Zhou Nan smiled when he heard this. This person's heart is actually very simple, and after more experience, he will naturally understand.
After all the thieves stood still, Zhou Nan first asked a few hunters to pull Li Neng and Zhu Gui to the middle of the field and kneel, nodding, Gao Shouzhong and Zhou Fu came over, holding hunting knives in their hands, and killing Li Neng and Zhu Gui.
Gao Yuan said: "And take the dog's head back and worship the dead villagers." Gao Shouzhong pulled a piece of the bandit's flag, wrapped the two heads and put them away.
Zhou Nan looked up at the hunters standing on the wall, the hunters were already angry, just waiting for Zhou Nan to give an order, seeing Zhou Nan nodding and signaling, all the hunters sent bows and crossbows, and suddenly the mountain bandits standing on the west side were killed one by one under the arrow.
The remaining thieves who were frightened were terrified, knelt on the ground, and called out to the heroes to spare their lives.
Zhou Nan said loudly: "I think you have no life in your body, and let you wait for a way to live, if there is any more evil things, you will end up with these people!" The kneeling mountain bandits kowtowed one by one, and several of them shouted: "I don't know, I and a few other people are hunters in the mountains here, hunting for a living on weekdays, who knows that these gangsters came, forced into the gang, and forced me and other old **, we have to come from." In addition, most of the mountain bandits who were kneeling shouted: "Good man spare his life!" We are all Yandi farmers, and we were robbed by mountain bandits, killed the old and young in my village, and coerced us to join the gang. ”
Gao Yuan shouted: "That's the case, it's the hunters here, go home and reorganize your livelihood." It is a Yandi farmer, and it can also go home together. The dozen or so hunters here thanked each other and left happily. There were fifty or sixty people in those Yandi peasant households, and they couldn't afford to kneel, and they all said: "I wait for the village to be destroyed, and we have long been homeless. Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan discussed it slightly, and they both agreed to the pleas of these Yandi farmers. Although these more than 60 peasant households are mountain bandits on weekdays, they only do some hard labor in the cottage, and they can't compare to the mountain bandits with guns and sticks, so they swallow their anger, and today they saw that Gao Yuan and others were willing to take them in, so they were naturally very happy and stood up. But more than a dozen of them knelt on the ground and did not make a sound, nor did they get up. Zhou Nan was strange and asked, "Why are you waiting like this?" The people kneeling on the ground said: "We are all craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, and we were recruited to go out with the army and work in the army, who wants the army to be defeated, and we are so far here, and we are coerced by Li Neng and Zhu Gui to come here, forcing us to build swords, bows and crossbows for him, and do some errand service. Today, I can't wait to go home, and I am willing to beg for food with the heroes. ”
