Chapter 419: The house is kind
Cui Wu thanked Xu Feng at the moment, and after receiving Xu Feng's silver, he turned to the regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone sheds and said: "Brothers, stop quickly, Xu Gongzi and Zhong Gongzi are kind-hearted and want to let these thieves leave a whole corpse!" Xu Gongzi also rewarded everyone with wine money, and everyone quickly thanked Xu Gongzi and Zhong Gongzi! "Actually, it was mainly Xu Feng who asked them not to cut off the head of the bandit, but he had a lot of eyes, and let these regiments and township soldiers under his command thank Zhong Hao together, anyway, he was also a favor, and it seemed that he would be a man.

"Thank you Xu Gongzi, thank you Zhong Gongzi!" A group of regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone shed listened to the words of their leader Cui Wu, and couldn't help but thank Zhong Hao and Xu Feng in unison.
These regimental training township soldiers heard that they can get a reward for silver without cutting off their heads, who doesn't want to?! Today they are not wearing military uniforms, they are wearing their own civilian clothes today, many of which are sewn by their mothers-in-law. If you go up and cut off the head of the blood, and then make the clothes on your body bloody, you can't wash them out, and it's distressing! It is because they must not have to cut off their heads, they will have a reward to get it, and they are naturally very happy.
Zhong Hao and Xu Feng hurriedly waved their hands to signal that they were not polite.
Xu Feng saw that it was dark at this time, and a lot of people had just died in this place, and the smell of blood was very strong, so he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and some of his heart was panicked, and he said to Cui Wu at the moment: "What, fifth brother, let's hurry up and hurry up, it's going to be dark this day, and there are still seven or eight miles to get to Qingfeng Town!" ”
"Okay, listen to Xu Gongzi, let's pull it out immediately!" Cui Wu won the silver reward, and his attitude towards Xu Feng was much more respectful than before.
After Cui Wu finished speaking, he immediately commanded a few regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone sheds to drive their horses and put on ropes, pull away the big tree that blocked the road, and prepare to pull it out! Well, this big tree is naturally the big tree that those thieves just put down and stopped on the official road.
………………
Zhong Hao and Xu Feng saw that the convoy was about to start, and they were also ready to board the carriage and wait for the road.
At this time, Du Yong, the leader of the bandits who was tied to the side, suddenly knelt down for Zhong Hao and Xu Feng with a "poof", and said loudly: "The black bull thanked the two sons for leaving a whole corpse for the brothers!" ”
Xu Feng and Zhong Hao originally asked Cui Wu and the others to leave a whole corpse for them in order not to see the bloody head-cutting situation, but they didn't want the bandit leader in front of them to admit their feelings.
But it seems that this bandit leader is quite affectionate, his brother is dead, and he can still think of fighting for his brother's whole corpse! This kind of Jianghu men are generally quite particular about the morality of the rivers and lakes, and if they are grateful, they will generally try their best to reciprocate.
Of course, these bound bandits were escorted to the county, and it is estimated that they will soon be hanged, but Xu Feng and Zhong Hao don't expect them to repay themselves.
At that moment, Xu Feng waved his hand very casually, signaling that the bandit leader was no big deal, his stomach was still churning, and he didn't want to talk more, so he got in the car and sat down.
However, Xu Feng didn't want to say anything more to this bandit leader, Zhong Hao was a little interested in these bandits, and he wanted to know what the life of the bandits was like?!
There is also a big tree that was put down by this bandit on this road, Cui Wu and they are directing those regiments to train the villagers and pull this big tree with horses. It will take a little effort to move the big tree away. Anyway, being idle is also idle, Zhong Hao can't help but be interested in chatting with them!
Moreover, Zhong Hao found that this bandit leader was very similar to the "Flying Pig" Zhu Kui he caught when he led the Pingxi Army to suppress bandits in Hedong Stone Monkey Mountain, they were all black, tall and strong, and the most important thing was to make a long-handled axe as a weapon. Since Zhu Kui joined the Pingxi Army, he has made a lot of contributions, especially when the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army went south with the Western Army to quell the rebellion, Zhu Kui really killed a lot of Nong Zhigao rebels and Jiaozhi northern border soldiers. Zhu Kui is in the middle camp of the Pingxi Army, and he is a good pioneer who is a pioneer, and he is really invincible with a Xuanhua axe. Zhong Hao felt that the black bull Du Yong in front of him also had the potential to become the next Zhu Kui.
At that moment, Zhong Hao opened his mouth and asked, "You are the leader of this gang of bandits?" What is your name? ”
"My name is Du Yong, and the people of the rivers and lakes give me the nickname 'Black Bull'!"
If Cui Wu and those regimental training villagers who unloaded stones and shacks asked themselves, Black Bull Du Yong would not bother to answer, what nonsense would he talk about with a group of people who killed many of their brothers? ! But the son in front of him was kind to his dead brothers, and kept the whole body for them, and the black bull Du Yong was also a person with clear grievances, so he answered Zhong Hao's question happily.
Zhong Hao listened to the Black Bull Du Yong's answer, nodded, and then asked, "I said Brother Heiniu, can you thieves really eat meat and drink wine in large bowls all day long in the mountains?" ”
"Uh......" Black Bull Du Yong couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he heard Zhong Hao ask such a sentence for no reason, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
After a while, the black bull Du Yong said in a sneering voice: "We have just come to this Qingliangshan area, and we haven't established ourselves yet, this wine and meat...... It's been a long time! Saying that, the black bull Du Yong seemed to be aroused, and smashed his mouth.
"It's definitely even more impossible to divide the gold on that big scale?!"
Black Bull Du Yong said sneeringly: "Son, you are laughing!" How can there be such a good thing, we are thieves and robbers just for the sake of eating! ”
Zhong Hao smiled slightly and said, "Then it's not so enjoyable to be a thief of yours, and it's not such a promising career!" Alas, you said that you want to eat mixed rice, what are you not doing well, you want to be a bandit?! ”
Black Bull Du Yong sighed and said: "Alas, our brothers also went up the mountain and fell to the grass because they couldn't survive, it's not that they really want to be a thief!" I was also forced to go up the hill and fall to the grass because I accidentally killed a bully in my hometown, which was not tolerated in the township."
"Listen to the accent, you're not from Qingzhou, are you?"
"Our brothers are all from Yizhou, and they originally settled on a mountain in the Mengshan area, but now the Yizhou officials and soldiers are very strong in encircling and suppressing the bandits, and they can't stand up, so they came to Qingzhou." The Qingliang Mountain area of Qingzhou is the westernmost section of the Taiyi Mountains, and the Mengshan area of Yizhou is the southern end of the Taiyi Mountains.
Zhong Hao couldn't help but suddenly realize when he heard this, it turned out that this gang of thieves from the black cow Du Yong was a thief who had just come from other places, no wonder Cui Wu reported the name of the stone unloading shed and the Cui family, they didn't know each other!
Zhong Hao sighed and said, "You said that what you did was not good, you wanted to be a thief!" Now that you have been caught, you are probably dead! ”
Black Bull Du Yong said: "Thank you for your pity!" But anyway, we are all alone, we have no worries, we die when we die, it's no big deal, since we are bandits, we have the consciousness of being bandits! However, I still thanked Gongzi for helping us dead brothers keep a whole corpse! ”
Zhong Hao asked, "Do you have a life on your hands?" ”
When Hei Niu Du Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be very ashamed and said: "I'm ashamed to say that I have been a thief for more than half a year, and I have done a few business in total. In the past, it was all a small fight, and it was all a scare, and those who were robbed left their belongings and ran away, and they really didn't kill people. This time, I finally saw someone who didn't run, and I didn't think about kicking it on the iron plate! Alas, I have been a thief for more than half a year, and I have never killed anyone or opened a door under this hand! Obviously, Black Bull Du Yong felt that it was a very shameful thing that they, as bandits, had never killed anyone under their hands.
Zhong Hao heard that they didn't have any lives in their hands, but he was subdued by this black bull, and sighed at the moment: "Alas, I still lack a follower by my side, I don't know if you have any intentions in the black bull?" ”
Zhong Hao felt that although this black bull Du Yong was a thief, he looked righteous, knew how to be grateful, and had a lot of courage and ambition. Of course, Zhong Hao's letting this black bull Du Yong be his follower is actually only temporary. In the future, it is planned to let him join the Pingxi Army, and it is a pity that such a brave man does not join the army to kill the party Tartars and Khitan Tartars.
When the black bull Du Yong heard Zhong Hao's words, he obviously wanted to save his life, and he couldn't help but feel happy on his face. However, when they saw their bandits who were tied up by the regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone sheds, his eyes couldn't help but darken!
At that moment, the black bull Du Yong shook his head lightly with a wry smile, and said very respectfully to Zhong Hao: "The son's mercy, I am very grateful, but I don't dare to be alone." Alas, these brothers of mine came out with me to eat because they trusted me. Now that I haven't eaten a full meal, I am about to be hanged by the government, and I am really shameless to live alone. Childe's great kindness, my black bull can only be reported in the next life! ”
For every 1 more slaughter of 1 dog and 1 generation, most of the negative hearts are readers. In many cases, people in the rivers and lakes and the market are often more moral and grateful than those dignified literati and bureaucrats! Zhong Hao listened to their words, but felt that it was more reassuring to let this black bull Du Yong follow him.
Zhong Hao looked at the seventeen or eighteen bound bandits. Most of them were not lightly injured, and they all sat by the road in a gloomy manner, waiting for the fate of the regimental training villagers who unloaded the stone sheds.
At that moment, Zhong Hao asked Cui Wudao, who was waiting next to him and was ready to leave: "Fifth brother, most of these guys are seriously injured, how can this get them to Qingfeng Town?!" Zhong Hao felt that most of the thieves would not be able to walk on their own. Well, if I could walk, I wouldn't have run a long time ago. The soldiers of these regiments training in the stone sheds do have horses, but they must be carrying bandits.
Cui Wu said with a smile on the side: "Then how else can they go, just tie them to the back of our horse's buttocks and drag them away!" ”
Zhong Hao couldn't help asking, "Can they still go?" ”
Cui Wu said with a smile: "If you can't go, just lie down, anyway, there are war horses dragging it, so it saves effort!" ”
"This was dragged seven or eight miles by horses, can it still live?"
"Anyway, if you are escorted to the city, you will be hanged, and if you die, you will die!"
Zhong Hao listened to Cui Wu's words, couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then said: "Alas, I'm just damn soft-hearted, I can't see dead people, most of these thieves are missing arms and legs, and I don't know how many they can live, I'm afraid they won't be able to be evil in the future!" Or just let them go and leave them to fend for themselves? ”
Zhong Hao said, a little distressed, took out one of his money bags from his arms, raised his hand and threw it to Cui Wu, and said, "I still have two hundred taels of silver, you can take it." These thieves are sent to the county office, and it is estimated that they will be able to exchange so much. Alas, I'm too soft-hearted, so I'll buy a life for them! ”
Cui Wuzheng felt that it was troublesome to take these bandits, and he was very happy to see that Zhong Hao paid for the lives of these bandits!
Anyway, no one in this wilderness knows that they have caught these bandits, and they, the regimental training villagers, who unloaded the stones, naturally don't have to worry about others criticizing them for letting go of the bandits. Besides, they are rough people, and they are really not afraid of what others say, and they don't think it's a big deal to release this thief.
However, although Cui Wu was very willing to accept Zhong Hao's silver and let these thieves with a lot of trouble go, he still had to excuse himself, and he smiled at the moment and said: "Hehe, how can you let Zhong Gongzi be so expensive?!" Zhong Gongzi took pity on these bandits and wanted to spare their lives, so I let my brothers let them go, anyway, the big guy just happened to be a little troublesome to take these bandits on the road. As for the reward money that these thieves get in exchange, it's just a few meals of wine, and the brothers don't earn this money, at most, they will drink a few less meals of wine soon! ”
Zhong Hao was a little speechless, the lives of these bandits turned out to be only worth a few meals of wine in the eyes of Cui Wu and their regimental training villagers who unloaded stones and sheds......
At that moment, Zhong Hao scolded with a smile: "If you let you take it, you will take it, less fucking nonsense, you don't accept it now, the brothers have no wine to drink, and I don't know how to scold me in my heart!" I don't want to be scolded behind my back! ”
Zhong Hao felt that spending money to buy the lives of these bandits was also a clear city grace, so that the black bull Du Yong clearly saw that he really gave money to buy the lives of their group of bandits. If Cui Wu doesn't accept it, the effect of Zhong Hao's city grace is not bad. Yes, although Zhong Hao felt sorry for the silver, he still insisted that Cui Wu put the silver away.
Besides, Zhong Hao felt that if Cui Wu didn't accept the silver for these regimental training villagers in the stone sheds, he would inevitably be scolded by these regimental training villagers in the stone sheds in the future, scolding himself for making a lot less money because of his soft heart. Zhong Hao is not far from being so disgusted and hated.
Cui Wu listened to Zhong Hao's words, and immediately accepted Zhong Hao's silver from the goodness, and said with a smile: "Hehe, how can it?" Who the hell dare to scold Zhong Gongzi for you, Lao Tzu screwed his big head off! ”
