Chapter 13 Planning Black Pine Ridge
When Gu Haotian returned to the courtyard, Du Qian was already waiting there with a tall and burly man.
"This must be Brother Song Wan." Gu Haotian stepped forward and asked.
"I've seen a petty official, and the villain is Song Wan." The man hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"Brother Du Qian has been there for many days, and I am also eager to see through, why did it take so long to come."
"It's all Jia San's evil, and he will definitely cut this splash skin when the time comes." Du Qian said viciously, and Song Wan also sighed.
It turned out that Du Qian had offended Na Jia San before, and these days Na Jia San couldn't find Du Qian, so he looked for Song Wan's bad luck, but he couldn't be angry, so Song Wan beat this guy hard, Jia San didn't expect Song Wan to dare to do something to him, so he colluded with the bandit Jia Ergou of Black Pine Ridge to take advantage of his unpreparedness to go up the mountain and be tortured. If Du Qian hadn't returned to his hometown to find him, and brought the money of the ancient family with him, he ransomed it back, but I was afraid that he would have died.
"What kind of place is this Black Pine Ridge?" Gu Haotian asked.
"Heisongling is located in the northeast of Gong County, a few years ago, Jia Ergou committed a murder and gathered a group of people to set up a village on the mountain, and then coerced some poor people, and now there are about 60 or 70 people on the mountain, three leaders. The eldest is Jia Ergou, who was blind in one eye because of a brawl when he was young, and calls himself One-Eyed Biao, the second Zhao Fang, and the third grandson are all villains. Du Qian replied.
"The terrain of this cottage is very dangerous, there is only one road up the mountain from the front ridge, and the rest of the road is either a cliff, or a steep slope, and the old forest is very difficult to walk. It's just that this Jia Ergou has been comfortable for a long time, and he has nothing to do, and his precautions are very lax. Song Wan added.
"What is the relationship between Jia Ergou and Jia San?"
"Jia Ergou is Jia San's cousin, Jia San has been living happily in the mountains for the past two days, otherwise my brother would have cut him down." Du migrates the gas pole.
"Brother Song Wan's injuries have not healed, and he will take some time to talk about it, and he will definitely breathe a bad breath for the two brothers in the future." Gu Haotian resettled Song Wan and Du Qian together, and asked someone to call a doctor for treatment.
The appearance of Black Pine Ridge gave birth to a new idea in Gu Haotian's heart. It has been five months since the escort team was trained, and the improvement of various skills has reached a bottleneck. Black Pine Ridge appeared in a timely manner at this time, the strength is not high, the defense is not strict, the key is to kill a few such villains, the government will not pay attention. But he also understands that there must be a very careful plan, and there must be no death of his teammates, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.
So he sent someone to recruit Zhu Gui and asked him and Du Qian to go to the area of Heisongling to reconnoitre. Du Qian's locals are not suitable to come out, but he is familiar with the place, Zhu Gui is an old Jianghu and has experience in finding out news, and the cooperation between the two is also reassuring.
Then there were just a few days to spare, Gu Haotian looked at the date of taking the second pill, because he had the experience of taking it once, he had no worries about taking it on time, if the first medicine was to temper the physique, then the feeling of the second pill was to strengthen the muscles and bones, he obviously felt that his ability to resist blows was greatly improved, and his strength and endurance were greatly strengthened. After fighting against Bian Xiang, a pervert, for more than 50 rounds, he timidly withdrew. In the future, he continued to look for Bian Xiang and the Ma family brothers to fight, only to feel that his muscles and bones were stronger, his breath was longer, and his strength was stronger.
In the evening of this day, several people were sweating profusely after a fight, and Zhu Gui and Du Qian came back. Gu Haotian welcomed the two back to the room, and called Song Wan to discuss together. Zhu Gui and the others reported that the basic situation of Heisongling is roughly the same as what Song Wan said, but there is an official road from north to south from Dongping County to Qufu, the hometown of Confucius Sage, not far from the mountain. This gang of bandits usually robbed homes and houses in this area, kidnapped and ransom, and bribed the official mansion through Jia San, and lived a really happy life.
Gu Haotian heard this, and understood in his heart that Song Wan said that Heisongling's defense was lax, but a big reason was that there were factors secretly protected by government personnel. He drew a floor plan, marking the locations of Black Pine Ridge, Mingyue Gang, Black Pine Forest, etc., and asked if there were any waterways nearby. Zhu Gui replied, there is a river fork leading directly to Shuibo from the official road. He marked it again, stared at the drawings and thought carefully for a while, asked some details in detail, and gradually formed a plan of action in his mind.
The next day, he asked Ruan Xiaoqi to invite his two brothers, and the four of them sat down. He opened his mouth: "There is a very confidential matter today, and you have to tell the brothers if you have to tell each other, so you invite the two brothers to come?" ”
"Petty officials, just say, if my brother has two hearts, he will teach us to all suffer wrongdoings and not die well." Xiao Er and Xiao Wu patted their necks and said.
"The two brothers are serious." Gu Haotian hurriedly thanked him. He has a bottom in his heart about the Ruan family brothers, Ruan Xiaoqi is already working under him, and Xiao Er and Xiao Wu are actually doing things for him, so he went straight to the point and told Du Qian, Song Wan and Hei Songling about the grievances, and said that he would take a group of people to the cottage. When the Ruan brothers heard that it was like a cat smelling fishy, they were even happy, but when they heard that they were just borrowing their boat to transport people, they were immediately unhappy again.
"How can such a happy thing be missing, it's not appropriate." Ruan Xiaowu must participate in the attack team.
In the end, Gu Haotian had to compromise, and left Xiao Er with the dozens of water town boys who knew how to water to guard the boat. And the time of departure was agreed.
The weather was already very hot at the beginning of June, and it was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that it was a little cooler. In Gu Haotian's room, Bian Xiang, Ma Qian, Ma Xian, Zhu Fu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Du Qian, and Song Wan sat together, and Bian Xiang, Ma Qian, and Ma Xian were very excited to participate in this matter for the first time. Gu Haotian made meticulous arrangements for the attack on Black Pine Ridge, and stressed that everyone must keep it secret before arriving at Black Pine Ridge.
A few days later, in the name of long-distance training, the escort team left Gujiazhuang in batches on the boat of the Ruan brothers in civilian clothes.
The summer heat was scorching, and the weather was unusually hot at noon on this day, and a large-scale caravan came up on the official road in front of Mingyue Gang.
"It's really a ghost weather, shopkeeper, there's a hotel in front, let's rest and then go?" A young fellow asked.
"Okay, rest for a while, after two hours, and then leave when it's cold." A man who looked like a shopkeeper responded.
"Okay, let's have some tea." The man shouted happily, and a group of people poured into a hotel on the side of the road.
"Man, serve us some good pots of tea." I only heard a "pop", and the young man knocked a silver ingot full of five taels on the counter.
"Here we are." A thin man in his thirties responded and came to the counter, his eyes fixed on the silver ingot.
"Where did this come from?" The shopkeeper asked.
"We are merchants from the south, and we went to Dongping Mansion to do silk trading."
"Oh, but it's a big deal." The shopkeeper asked, inquiringly.
"Of course, we are in charge of a well-known silk merchant in the south." The young guy is proud.
Then several heavy carriages were pulled into the shed, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and then he served tea diligently.
"That guy, when I first came to your land, I don't know when the weather will be refreshing, but please tell me, and it will be good to go on the road then." The shopkeeper-looking man asked.
"It's cooler at the end of the day." The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and replied.
"At the end of the Shen period, it was nearly late at that time, and I don't know if it was too peaceful on the road." The shopkeeper muttered to himself.
"The villain has been guarding the shop here for many years, but he has never heard of anything unpeaceful."
"That's how to start again." The shopkeeper gave the order to go down, and the group was overjoyed.
Let's say that the shopkeeper sneered secretly when he heard this, and turned into the back hall to beckon a person to whisper a few words in his ear, and the man quietly went through the back door, but he didn't know that he was being watched by the young man in the caravan.
In the noisy sound of knowing, gradually approaching the West Mountain, the shopkeeper led everyone to set off. The shopkeeper looked at the figure of the group in the distance, but it seemed to be looking at a piece of fat meat that was about to be cooked.
Under the Black Pine Ridge, in the black pine forest on the side of the official road, the second master Zhao Fang sat there with more than 20 lazy subordinates, he was very excited, and received a report in the afternoon that a group of fat sheep were sent to the door, so he took his subordinates to wait here early, and he didn't want to meet the color head before the main owner arrived, thinking about the handsome little lady who had just been robbed, and his heart was on fire. I can't let the boss swallow it alone, so I have some soup left to drink, and I am lewd, so I listen to the minions to report, and the fat sheep is coming. He suddenly came to his senses, and when he looked over, he saw a caravan coming from afar.
"Brothers, give me some spirits, and it will be beneficial for everyone to stay in the club." The minions were also excited. After only a while, the caravan arrived in front of him, Zhao Fang led a group of people to shout and kill, he pointed a knife at the shopkeeper, "Kneel ......down for me, all the acquaintances" But before the words fell, I saw a strong man in his twenties flashing behind the shopkeeper, but it was Ruan Xiaowu, I saw that he raised the knife in his hand, and poor Zhao Fang was split in half in an instant.
The bandits were blinded at once, but before they could come back to their senses, the group of men had already lined up and rushed over with spears, and then they realized that they had hit a hard point, turned around and ran, only to find that three rows of young men with spears had been gathered behind them.
Several fierce thugs were dying and struggling to kill in one place, it was Ma Qiang's second squad, only to see Ma Gang shouting: "Prepare, stab directly." Suddenly, a few bandits who rushed in front became blood gourds, and the first few bandits in the back panicked, and they crashed towards the caravan again, and those guys were the three teams of Ma Wei in disguise. "Immediately pierced a few more. The remaining few peed for a while, and they knelt down and begged for mercy, but Bian Xiang, who had not yet opened, was angry. Gu Haotian ordered the disarming, escorted the surrendered bandits into the black pine forest, and sent people to clean up the scene and send out guards.
The escort team of Gujiazhuang had actually made arrangements a long time ago, and Gu Haotian led some of the team members to venture into the depths of the black pine forest and wait for the opportunity to move. And that caravan was played by more than ten people in Zhu Gui and Ma Wei's three squads, there was nothing to do with Ruan Xiaowu, this guy wanted to go alive or dead, and he had to fulfill his wish, and he didn't want to be won by him today. These bandits never dreamed that there were these hard stubbles lurking under their noses, and they suddenly planted a big fight.
"I want to live." In the depths of the black pine forest, facing the fifteen bandits who were captured, Gu Haotian asked sharply.
"The noble man spared his life, and we were all innocent white families, and I was only coerced to go up the mountain." A group of bandits begged for mercy.
"Who is the leader of you?"
I saw that a group of bandits looked at a man in his thirties, and the man had to get up and say, "The villain Zhang Gouzi, who is usually called by the second leader, is not a leader." ”
"I am willing to make meritorious service and atone for my sins."
"The villain is willing, willing." Zhang Gouzi hurriedly agreed.
Gu Haotian didn't say much, he called Bian Xiang, Ruan Xiaoqi, Ma Qian, and Lei Heng to suppress a few bandits, and he took Song Wan to pick someone with the right figure to change the clothes of the bandits, and asked Du Qian and a few people to pretend to be porters, and ordered Ma Xian, Ruan Xiaowu and others to lead the team to follow closely behind, leaving only Zhu Gui to take a few people to guard the prisoners. So the group took advantage of the night and went to the mountain in disguise.
