Chapter 685 A nest of snakes and rats

"To do it or not to do it, the old and young masters say a happy word, at this time, if you procrastinate like this, any opportunity will be lost." Du Ruhu stepped on the stool with one foot, crossed his waist with one hand, stared at the bull-like eyes, and looked at the like-minded gentry and gentry in front of him who had been secretly summoned by him.

These are his colleagues, and he has the same hatred and fear of the army Lu Shi people, in front of and behind the people, there is no less contact, at this time, just sent away Zhang Daoshi, Du Ruhu eagerly gathered these former colleagues together, together to participate in the righteous deeds, together to tide over the crisis.

Now, Du Ruhu is very angry and even more anxious.

The reason why I am very angry is that I usually look at these three old, four young people, five people and six people, and talk about the thief Lu Shi in front of me, that is, they gritted their teeth, and they wanted to rush across the river with a knife at that time, and they were disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, anyway, everyone was punished for it, to protect their interests and power.

However, at that time, everyone could only pretend to be a good man behind their backs, complaining, and really didn't dare to do anything to the Lu Shi thief who was in the sky. In fact, even this kind of complaint behind it has to be probed left and right, and I am afraid that I will be accidentally detected by the sergeant of the thief Lu Shi, once I am caught by that Zhao Xing, it will be a disaster that will almost destroy the door. It's really the so-called dare to be angry and dare not speak.

But now the opportunity has come, it is the rogue Gao Yingxiang who gave everyone a chance to destroy Lu Shi, or at least to severely damage everyone's common enemy, Lu Shi.

Summoned like-minded squires to be stronger than the secret room, risking being killed, to share the opportunity given by the rogue Gao Yingxiang with these dirt buns.

However, the situation is 108,000 miles different from what I imagined, yes, 108,000 miles. In the past, the squires who hated Lu Shi to the bone now, now when they hear their decision, their faces are pale and their souls are scattered, sitting in this secret room, they are also looking left and right and their mouths are closed, as if their voices come out, they will attract the soldiers who break into the military prison and kick in the door.

"The opportunity is right in front of us, as long as the thief of Lu Shi is hit hard, he will be rewarded by the imperial court, and he will let us come out of the family of the dirt buns, and an official gentry will change our background, this opportunity is a once-in-a-century opportunity." Du Ruhu had to show everyone present the prospects for the future.

"Yes, yes." Several squires nodded in a whisper, and a trace of greed appeared in their eyes, but that trace of greed was only a momentary thing, and it was immediately replaced by fear.

At this time, the idea of giving the thief defenders a salary is simply crazy and stupid.

With the current situation, the thieves Guangwu army who helped guard Ji County have been exhausted, and now, they have mainly relied on those mud legs and untouchable people to resist the attack of the rogues, and the shouts of killing outside the city break through the Xiao Han every day, and the number of dead and wounded is increasing, which of course is more than the rogues, but there are also continuous thieves who are carried off the battlefield, looking at those thieves who died in bloody battles, everyone's mood is quite complicated.

Although everyone is afraid that the thieves will seize Ji County and let themselves slowly lose their interests and power, what can they get in exchange for annihilating the thieves? It's an army of hundreds of thousands.

Hundreds of thousands and 200,000 rogues poured into Ji County, what kind of scene was that? No need to depict, it is absolutely hell on earth, such a scene has been widely staged in the land of Shanxi, everyone has relatives in various places, such scenes are constantly coming, every time everyone gets such news, there is no other expression except trembling. Of course, this trembling is not because of anger, this trembling is because of fear, in addition to this trembling, there is only secret rejoicing - glad that he is waiting for the base of the thief Lu Shi, and is glad that he is within the sphere of influence of the thief Lu Shi, because the rogue is afraid of the strength of the thief and escaped the catastrophe.

It's a joke to say that it's ironic, the group of people who hate and want Lu Shi to collapse and destroy the most, at this time, they are secretly glad that they have been protected by the thief Lu Shi. To guard against thieves, what kind of world is this?

"Think about it, once the thief wins this battle, what will the future look like?" Du Ruhu took down the foot that he stepped on on the chair, and his originally high tone changed, and he became serious: "Look at the Zhang Dog official who betrayed the court, now the thieves haven't done much, he has already surrounded those thieves like a dog, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and he almost surrendered." Looking at everyone's sympathetic expressions, Du Ruhu said again: "Just the way he did, do you still expect him to send the thief back to Shaanxi after winning this battle?" ”

Yes, everyone knows that after this war, not only will Zhang Xianzun not give people back, even if he wants to give gifts, will they go back?

"So, what will our days look like in the future?" Du Ruhu began to enlighten everyone step by step: "The days of the same people over there are examples. Speaking of this, Du Ruhu was already gritting his teeth: "Every day, what political officials are submissive to a group of thieves, every day they are smiling at those original untouchables, and they must be cautious when they speak every day, for fear that if one is not good, they will die and the clan will be wiped out, right?" Speaking of this, he raised his voice again, and loudly asked the gentry and local tyrants below: "Should we be like this?" No, absolutely not. As he spoke, he slammed one foot on the chair again, and the chair that had been stepped on back and forth made a protesting squeak.

"We are the nobles who have lived in this land for generations, we should naturally enjoy the right to kill those mud-legged people, this right was not deprived of us by Dayuan, nor did Daming deprive us, and the little thief Lu Shi could not deprive us, such a right, we should enjoy the life and life until eternity."

Such an clamor did arouse the resonance of several people among the squires who came to the secret discussion, and they also had the righteousness of the same hatred and hatred, so they raised their waists and loudly echoed Du Ruhu's statement.

That is, this land, nominally going back and forth to all dynasties and generations, in fact, it is all bullshit, none of them are theirs, it is their own generations of clans, generations of heroes, and the little Lu Shi actually wants to deprive everyone of this thousands of years of unchanged rights, which is intolerable to everyone, yes, killing Lu Shi at all costs is the only way to keep everyone's privileges as a soil emperor, in order to keep this right, it is necessary to do whatever it takes.

"Yes, I support Du Yuanwai's view." A landlord surnamed Zhao stood up, shyly on his stomach, and said with a sad expression on his face: "That is, my Zhao family has always been a family of cultivators and scholars, and I don't look down on those things that are flies and dogs, and that little thief Lu Shi is simply a number of classics and forgetting his ancestors, not thinking about how to value agriculture but has been encouraging treacherous businessmen, and making the good land in Shaanxi into a miasma, such a big violation of the words and deeds of the saint, my Zhao family must not give up with him, I am the first to support Du Yuanwai's decision, destroy the thief, and destroy this bane for the court and our future generations." ”

Zhao Yuanwai's impassioned enthusiasm was immediately supported by almost all the gentry present, and the originally dull atmosphere began to become lively.

Du Ruhu saw his efforts and finally got some support in return, and he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and force those villagers who were still swaying from side to side and did not express their position.

However, an old gentleman sitting in the far corner bent his neck and muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it good to be ruled by the thief Lu Shi?" This whispered mutter, in this small secret room, seemed extraordinarily out of place, and it was precisely because of its incompatibility that it seemed extraordinarily abrupt, so everyone involuntarily turned their heads to look at the little old man.

The little old man saw that everyone suddenly stopped talking, and looked at himself together, and couldn't help but be a little unnatural, shrunk even more into the corner, shook his head left and right, and muttered quietly again, also defending himself: "At least, the thieves are coming, and we can still live, but the city is broken, can we still survive under the butcher's knife of the rogue?" Under the influence of the thieves, although they can no longer take so much rent, they can take out the money to set up a factory. Seeing that everyone was still looking at each other with a kind of contempt and anger, he lowered his neck and said to one of the local tyrants: "You Zhao Laocai, you were originally just a landlord, a land of hundreds of years, but now, what do everyone call you?" Zhao Million, ha, Zhao Million, I wonder, just with those hundreds of days of land, how can you be Zhao Million? Didn't you invest in a liquor factory over there in the name of your son-in-law, and add a few shares in other factories? Don't I know? Cultivating and reading heirlooms, despising businessmen, I bah. ”

After he exposed the old bottom like this, the Zhao gentry immediately became speechless, his face was red, and he just pointed at the little old man and was speechless.

Seeing that the lively atmosphere just became embarrassing again under the questioning of this little old man, Du Ruhu hurriedly came out to play a round: "It's all old brothers, what's the trouble?" Doesn't your old grandson usually grit his teeth with hatred for the thief Lu Shi? Now, why did you start speaking for him again? ”

When the old grandson heard this, he stood up disdainfully, shook his robe and said: "I hate the thief, that is out of loyalty and patriotism, but not because of hatred of the thief can help the rogue, because, I hate the thief even more, I know that Lu Shi is here, I can still survive, but the rogue is here, I just die without a place to be buried, isn't this enough?" ”

Yes, that's enough.

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Du Ruhu couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry about this, the king of Da Chuang, Gao Yingxiang, has promised me that he is just crossing the border and taking Ji County to solve the worries of the army crossing the river, as long as Ji County is taken, it is absolutely guaranteed that there will be no offense against you." ”

The grandson looked at Du Ruhu again, as if he was looking at a young child, a fool, his eyes were full of contempt, pity, and --- contempt.

He didn't speak, he turned around and left.

Du Ruhu was annoyed and angry in such eyes, and shouted loudly: "Old horseman, why are you going?" ”

The old man didn't turn back, and said with a smile: "I'll go home and see if my old sow is safe in the tree, hahahaha——。 ”

Du Ruhu was stunned, suddenly burst out, pulled out the waist knife, swung it down, and screamed, and the grandson immediately turned his head in a different place, and this action immediately suppressed the gentry in the secret room.

Du Ruhu carried the bloody war knife, glanced at all the people with blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Those who follow me will live and those who oppose me will die, this matter is decided." ”
