Chapter 54: Harvest
Night falls.
The bonfire was rekindled.
It was only after a vicious battle that everyone really realized how sinister this engagement was. Eight men against eighteen horses, outnumbered, or strong with weak, but in the end they won.
The win is still beautiful.
Killed Hibiki on the spot and captured three alive.
Nine horses were also captured.
Everyone was more or less injured, only Qin Qiong was intact, and even Luo Feng had an arm that was stabbed, but fortunately, the injury was not deep.
Check each other's injuries, and after a simple bandage, re-divide the work.
Scarface's Zhao Gui and Zhou Xin's two brothers-in-law were responsible for slaughtering and dissecting the previously shot deer, taking the meat and roasting it.
Du Da and Fu San and Xiao Liu were responsible for cleaning the battlefield and collecting the equipment and money of the horses.
Luo Feng and Qin Qiong were in charge of the interrogation.
The three live mouths were interrogated separately.
At first, the captives refused to tell the truth, Luo Feng directly carried the seriously injured guy over, and in front of the other two, asked Luo Si to chop him one finger at a time, but only three fingers were chopped, and the two guys fought to tell the truth.
As for the guy who was chopped up, he was already seriously injured, and he only had one breath left, so he hung up directly after such a toss.
Qin Qiong and Luo Feng pulled the two guys aside for interrogation, then cross-interrogated, and finally let the two confess.
It didn't take long for Luo Feng to get the news they wanted.
The Xiangma who took the lead was the one who was shot over by Qin Qiong with an arrow at the beginning, named Wang Yonghu, who was from Longyou. He used to be a horse thief. The leaders of this operation, they set off from the Changbai Mountain.
And this Wang Yonghu is said to be ordered by Wang Yong, and Wang Bo of Qingyang Villa is also under Wang Yong's orders.
"Who is this Wang Yong?"
Qin Qiong frowned, Wang Bo was implicated, and now he has made another Wang Yong.
"Second brother, this Wang Yong I know, the thief just now confessed that Wang Yong's name is Bodang, and he is known as Yong Saburo. I know this person, it is my Zhangqiu Changbai Township people, is my neighbor, the son of the rich man of Wangzhuang next door, it is said that he has been studying in Chang'an Guozi in recent years, and he only returned to the township not long ago, and I didn't think that he was the person behind the robbery of Zhishilang in Qi County. ”
"Why would a son of a country and the son of a rich man in the countryside do such a case? Also, from what I know about Wang Bo, he is also a high-minded person, why would he listen to a young prisoner to commit such a crime? ”
Luo Feng also couldn't figure it out, "There may be another hidden in this, but now many things have been revealed." There are still a few gangs of horses hidden in Changbai Mountain, they hid the grain that they had robbed in several counties before, I think the top priority now is not to investigate why Wang Bo obeyed Wang Yong's orders, and no matter why they wanted to do this case, I think the top priority is to report to Zhang Juncheng first, and immediately transfer troops to raid a few thieves' dens, and take the grain back first. ”
"Xiao Wu, do you think Brother Wang was coerced by this Wang Yong? What kind of handle did he hold on, so he couldn't do things with him? ”
"Second brother, when is it, still care about this. We almost died at the hands of these ringing horses, and you also heard this Wang Yonghu, he brought horse thieves to rob and kill us after he came out of Qingyang Villa. I think Wang Bo can't escape anything to do with this matter. At this time, we don't need to worry too much about it. ”
Qin Qiong sighed, he was very reluctant to believe Luo Feng's words, but since he stepped into the villa, he had become more and more convinced of the fact that Wang Bo was involved in this case.
"Xiao Wu, you hurry back to the county town to report the news, I'll guard here."
"No, second brother. I'm not good at horsemanship, so it's better for you to rush back to the county town to transfer troops, and I'll delay time if I go. ”
"If I had known, I wouldn't have let Team Jia go back first." Qin Qiong said helplessly, although Luo Feng and the others were a little uneasy here, but Luo Feng's riding skills were really not good, and it was important to move the rescue soldiers, and they couldn't be delayed.
"Alright then, I'll take these two captives back to the county seat immediately, you and the others stay here and wait, remember to be careful, it's best to move the place later, find a secluded place and wait for me to bring reinforcements back."
Without further ado, Qin Qiong brought two captives with him, one person with two horses, and the two captives were tied to the horses, so he didn't have to worry about accidents on the road.
Taking advantage of the night, Qin Qiong galloped towards the county seat.
Luo Feng and his brothers ate a meal of roasted deer steak and stewed deer tail soup, and then began to dig a pit by moonlight.
"Xiao Wu, if you want me to say that I'm too lazy to dig a pit, just throw it there, let's change places and wait for reinforcements, why bother digging a pit with them." Luo Sizhi complained.
"I said, Fourth Brother, what you said is wrong, are those sixteen corpses? No, that's sixteen bounties. If you just throw it here, you're not afraid that the bloody gas will attract wild beasts? Even if the beast doesn't attack you, just take a corpse, and then we will have to take a lot less when we repay the reward and receive the reward. ”
"Let's dig a pit and bury these bodies now, what is that? It's a bounty for protecting us! ”
When Scarface heard this, his eyes lit up, and he felt that people were energetic again, "Fourth brother, fifth brother is right, we can't let the beast take our bounty away, take advantage of the good moonlit night, hurry up and dig a pit, it's been delayed for a long time, it really attracts the beast, but it's troublesome, on this Changbai Mountain, there are not only wolves, but also leopards and tigers." ”
Even Du Da and Fusan are also full of energy.
Reward.
Desperately fighting, this is all fighting for their lives, how can they let the beast go.
Seven people planted torches around them, and by the light of the moon, they dug two large pits, and threw in sixteen corpses on one side, and a few dead horses on the other.
Sixteen bodies were stripped naked and thrown into the pit, their weapons, their clothes, their money, etc., all taken down.
"Dig a pit and bury these things first, and then come back and get them."
Luo Feng looked at a pile of swords, bows and spears, as well as a lot of gold leaves, broken silver, copper coins and other things, and made a decision.
"This is also buried? I won't turn back and turn it in, if you want me to say, let's divide it. The fourth shouted.
"The weapons and clothes are buried, let's take away those gold, silver, copper, jewelry, and other soft pieces, first pack a bag together, Xiaoliu, you will carry it, and each of the seven of us will have a share, and we will divide it equally together." Luo Feng is like a stream.
Du Fuwei glanced at the small pile of gold and silver, all kinds, but they added up to a lot, and these ringing horses liked to carry these valuable things with them, which were quite valuable. Although he was moved, he still said, "Fifth brother, I and the third brother are following you, we don't want this money." ”
"It's all about fighting for your life, why not?" Luo Feng said with a smile, "This matter is so decided, let Xiaoliu carry the things first, and when we have time to go back, we will calculate it carefully, and then one person will share it equally." ”
Luo Feng's words made everyone's faces smile happy.
