Chapter Seventy-Four: Temptation
The second watch is here, continue to ask for red tickets! )
In the past, under normal circumstances, when encountering this kind of thing, the pole would kill all the old and young of these old rich families and rob their young wives and daughters, but Xiao Tianjian is really a little unable to do this kind of thing, after all, he and Fan Laocai's family are far from grudges and hatreds, and they came here to deal with their family, to put it bluntly, it is to seek wealth, not revenge, and they can't kill their family.
But the people under him don't see it that way, Zhao Erdonkey, Yan Chongxi and others all advocate killing them to prevent future troubles, the reason is very simple, these gentry have complicated relationships in the local area, and the government is a nest of snakes and rats, and now they have robbed his Zhuangzi, if they let them go, this old rich family will definitely find a way to retaliate, maybe it will involve all aspects of the forces, in case a large number of officers and soldiers are transferred to suppress them, I am afraid there will be a lot of trouble.
After listening to the opinions of several of his subordinates, Xiao Tianjian's heart hardened again, as the saying goes, Ci is not in charge of the army, since he has done this business, he has actually betrayed the ruler of this era, and he has become the sworn enemy of the ruling class, especially the landlord class, if he falls into their hands, can they spare themselves? So in the end, Xiao Tianjian decided to be ruthless and handed over this matter to Zhao Erdonkey!
But he still confessed to Zhao Erdonkey, Fan Jiabao's subordinates will not be killed, and the two young grandchildren of Fan Laocai's two sons will not be killed, and his little daughter, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, will not be killed, after all, they were born in this big family, and the crime is not on them, only a few men of the Fan family will be killed, which can be regarded as balancing his conscience, otherwise, Xiao Tianjian feels that he will feel uneasy.
Zhao Erdonkey gritted his teeth, as if he understood very well, nodded and replied mysteriously: "Palm the plate, you can rest assured!" This little thing will do well! ”
After saying that, Zhao Erdonkey called the iron head, ordered a few more subordinates, and escorted the ten people of the Fan family out of Zhuangzi, pressed outside the Zhuangzi, and directly recruited a few brothers in the team who had not seen blood, and let them carry it out.
The onslaught for three consecutive days made the group of people, including Xiao Tianjian, very tired, seeing that this place was far away from Huangyang County, and there would be no trouble under normal circumstances, so Xiao Tianjian decided to take a break here temporarily, after all, this is a ready-made walled fort, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a good place to stay, and even better than his previous temporary lair.
After discussing with his subordinates, Xiao Tianjian decided to temporarily move the old camp to this Fanjiabao, which also saved them from pulling these money and food to the old nest, which saved time and trouble.
For Xiao Tianjian's decision, Yan Chongxi disagreed, he thought that this is not a place to stay for a long time, after all, they are doing such a big thing here, first the fire and accomplice Wang Tianlong, and then the defeat of Fanjiabao, it is impossible to let people not know, not to mention that although Fanjiabao is located in the middle of nowhere, it is a dead place, as long as the village gate is blocked, only to carry it to the end, once the enemy is strong, or a large number of officers and soldiers come, they can only carry it in Fanjiabao, and there is no way out! So this kind of place is by no means a long-term stay.
After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian also felt that it made sense, so he asked Yan Chongxi: "Then according to you, will it be difficult for us to return to the previous place?" ”
Yan Chongxi shook his head and said, "It's not necessary, the little one just thinks that he can't stay here for long, and it doesn't mean that he must leave immediately!" After all, there is a lot of grain here right now, and it is definitely impossible to transport it away at once! Moreover, although the terrain of our old camp is secret, the road is difficult to travel, and such a large amount of grain cannot be transported to the old camp at all! What's more, now that we have more people, the cave in the old camp can't accommodate so many people! There is no place to store this food!
You must have forgotten one thing! Brother Shi also said that Wang Tianlong's old camp is on a beam more than forty miles away, and he has been operating there for more than two years, which is a desirable place, and the palm plate may as well occupy Wang Tianlong's old camp, where it happens to be a place of three things, and whether it is to go to Fengxiang Mansion, Wangyang or Changwu, Qishan is very convenient, it can be attacked and defended, it is a good place to go, where can Wang Tianlong stand and take advantage of this! Wouldn't it be better if we first evacuated the people from the old camp here, stayed for a few days to rest and recuperate, and then went to take over there? ”
After Shi Ran listened to Yan Chongxi's words, he also nodded again and again thinking that what Yan Chongxi said was reasonable, and supported Yan Chongxi's suggestion, Feng Gouzi also nodded, saying that this idea was good.
Xiao Tianjian patted his head and smiled: "How did I forget this stubble?" Wang Tianlong is dead, there must be few people in his nest, but I only care about fighting Fan Jiabao, but I forgot about this matter! Brother Yan is right, it's better to go and take Wang Tianlong's stockade! Yes! This matter is settled, let's rest here first, Shi Ran, you have a hard trip, take a few of them back to the old camp, and bring Master Jin and them all here! After everyone arrives, we will transport the money and food here to take Wang Tianlong's nest! This place is indeed a dead place, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time! ”
Shi Ran immediately got up to take the order, and he was going to take people to immediately set off back to the old nest to pick up Master Jin's gang to come over.
"There's no rush! Just laid down Fanjiabao, you have also worked hard, have a good rest tonight, and it is not too late to leave tomorrow! Xiao Tianjian smiled and raised his hand to stop Shi Ran and said.
"Thank you for your understanding!" Shi Ran was also very happy, he and a few of his subordinates were tired enough in the past three days, and it was not bad to have a good night's rest.
After dark, Zhao Erdonkey and Tietou returned to Zhuangzi, and after seeing Xiao Tianjian, Zhao Erdonkey just gestured with his hand to kill, Xiao Tianjian understood what he meant, and knew that they must have killed the Fan family and threw them into the ravine to bury them, so they didn't say anything and let them go down to rest.
However, when he rested at night, Xiao Tianjian would naturally be placed in the best back house bedroom of the Fan family's old mansion by his subordinates, but when Xiao Tianjian finished arranging the affairs of his subordinates in Zhuangzi and was invited to the back house to rest by Tietou, he was a little dumbfounded as soon as he entered the door.
Originally, Xiao Tianjian was exhausted to death, after a few days of exhaustion, his spirit was highly tense, and his physical strength was very large, if there were not many things to arrange, he would have found a place to lie down in the afternoon, and now it was finally done, and his subordinates were all settled, he could finally take a break quickly, so he hurriedly ran to this bedroom.
It was the first time since he came to this era that he could sleep in such a luxurious room like today, and after a few months, he either slept in a broken temple or camped in the wilderness, and the best case was just sleeping on the floor in the cave, almost forgetting what it was like to sleep in bed, the long-lost big bed and soft bedding made him miss it a little, although he knew that if he wanted to make his subordinates come to heart, he had to share the ups and downs with them, but he didn't mind enjoying a little privilege once in a while, After all, the concept of people's respect and inferiority in this era has been deeply rooted, and he will not let his subordinates be dissatisfied with a little enjoyment.
Fan Laocai is a rich family after all, this place is really not bad, the interior is paved with green bricks, there are carved beds, there are carved doors and windows, a layer of good window paper is pasted on them, and the big bed is a brocade futon, and a few candlesticks will illuminate the room.
This was not a surprise, but what surprised him was that at the door of this bedroom, there was a young girl kneeling, with her eyebrows lowered and her head lowered as if waiting for his arrival.
"Uh......? Are you ......" Xiao Tianjian paused for a moment and asked the girl kneeling in the door.
