Chapter Seventy-Nine: Still Going
My son was finally discharged from the hospital last night! I also had a night in close contact with the bed that I hadn't seen in a long time! Let's celebrate with a 4,000-word chapter! Everyone voted for it! )
Jin Fuzi knelt in front of Xiao Tianjian, wept bitterly, and reported to Xiao Tianjian what happened the day before yesterday with a handful of tears.
It turned out that after Xiao Tianjian left with the elite in the past few days, the old camp was handed over to Jin Fuzi to take care of it temporarily, Jin Fuzi took care of the old camp very carefully, and arranged people to do this and that, at noon the day before yesterday, Jin Fuzi saw that some people had nothing to do, so he personally beckoned some young people to the back mountain to chop wood and grass, just what he didn't expect was that not long after he took people away, he heard a sad scream from the old camp, and Jin Fuzi quickly led people to run back, wanting to see what happened in the old camp.
But after they crossed the hillside, they looked at the old camp from afar, but what they saw was a miserable situation, there were two or three hundred people of all colors, etc., and suddenly flocked into their old camp, a small number of them were dressed in the costumes of officers and soldiers, and most of them were dressed as some village warriors, these people were armed with knives, guns, swords, and halberds, and after rushing into the old camp, they killed people when they saw them, and cut down when they saw people, and the people in the old camp who were chasing and killing fled in all directions, but they could not escape their pursuit, and these officers and soldiers were still setting fire to the old camp. All the shacks that had just been built in the old camp were set on fire, and for a time the old camp was filled with smoke and flames, and the corpses of the people left behind in the old camp were even more miserable.
Jin Fuzi was dumbfounded on the spot, and led a few people to lie in the grass, covering their mouths and crying, and they also saw that the women in the old camp were soon arrested by these wolf-like officers and soldiers, and stripped naked on the ground, and took turns to spoil them, and the women's crying and pleading came far away.
Jin Fuzi and a few people knew that there was nothing they could do, so they could only lie in the grass in the distance and watch this tragedy happen, but there was nothing they could do.
Later, after those officers and soldiers tossed bravely for a long time, they killed all the people in the old camp, and then they copied the things of the old camp, left the old camp, and went out of the mountain.
The people in the poor old camp were almost killed on the spot, even the children in it were not spared, only a young woman still had a breath of air, the woman told Jin Fuzi before she died, a few of these people were officers and soldiers of Huangyang County, and most of the rest were Xiangyong of Lijiazhuang, and then begged Jin Fuzi to tell Xiao Tianjian, please Xiao Tianjian must avenge them, before the words were finished, the woman died of anger, her eyes were not closed, and she died with grief and indignation open.
Jin Fuzi also deliberately and carefully told Xiao Tianjian that even Hu Yue'e was killed after being ruined by the people of Lijiazhuang this time, and her death was very miserable, because among the women in the old camp, that Hu Yue'e was the most beautiful, so she suffered the most.
"Hold the plate! Jin Tong is incompetent, he didn't take care of your home for you, please punish! Master Jin said while crying, and after finishing speaking, he knelt in front of Xiao Tianjian and pleaded guilty.
This Master Jin is also lucky enough, last time he was tied up by Sha Erbao with a meat ticket, Xiao Tianjian led someone to rescue him, this time the old camp was attacked, and he happened to be not in the old camp, this luck is really not ordinarily good, if he was also in the old camp that day, it would have become a corpse at this time.
Xiao Tianjian frowned and was silent for a long time, the figure of Hu Yue'e appeared in his mind, although he didn't feel for Hu Yue'e, he only thought he was a woman in an ordinary relationship, and he didn't have any desire for her, so it can be said that he didn't like her at all, but this Hu Yue'e had a lot of thoughts about him, and served him very carefully, sewed clothes for him by himself, and helped him make socks, which Xiao Tianjian still had affection for her, and wanted to have the opportunity to introduce this Hu Yue'e to his subordinates as a wife in the future. Hu Yue'e of the province is always worried about him, but he never expected that in just a few days, this woman was killed by someone and became a person separated by yin and yang, after listening to Master Jin's words, Xiao Tianjian felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and gritted his teeth with hatred for a while, if these men are guilty, then what is the crime of a woman like Hu Yue'e? Why do these people do this, even of them, women and children? This revenge really can't go unavenged.
At the same time, he was also thinking about why Li Jiazhuang colluded with the government to slaughter his old camp, thinking about it, the cause of this incident was only related to the Li family in Sha Erbao some time ago, according to the intelligence collected by Shi Ran and them during this time, just with the strength of the officers and soldiers of Huangyang County, the government would not dare to easily come out to suppress bandits on a large scale, and the leading role in this matter must be that Li Yuanwai.
"Damn you lied to me too much! This revenge is not avenged, and it is not a person! I'm going to finish that surnamed Lee! Master Jin, you can't blame anything for this matter, you can only blame me for being too careless! Get up! Go down and rest first, I'll make up my mind!" After Xiao Tianjian thought for a while, he asked Master Jin to take him down to rest temporarily.
Anyway, this time Master Jin and Luo Yingjie, who knew how to write and ink, both had a great fortune, just escaped this catastrophe and returned to his side, which made Xiao Tianjian feel that it was a blessing in misfortune, after all, Master Jin had been with him for the longest time, and he was loyal to him like an old slave, Luo Yingjie was also a small talent, and it was difficult to find such a person for a while, and the two of them could escape this disaster, which made Xiao Tianjian somewhat comforted.
Immediately, Xiao Tianjian summoned a few of his backbone men to come over, and asked Shi Ran, "Did you hear any news on the way back?" Did the officers and soldiers and the townsmen of Lijiazhuang move towards us? ”
Shi Ran was also sad and indignant, he and Da Niu and others had also seen the tragic situation of the old camp, and at this time they gritted their teeth, shook their heads heavily and gritted their teeth and replied: "No! The little ones didn't meet the officers and soldiers and the townsmen of Lijiazhuang on the way back this time, presumably they had already gone back separately after copying our old camp!
Looking at this matter from a small point of view, it must be the old Wang Ba surnamed Li who instructed him, this old Wang Ba is very powerful in the area of Huangyang, it is said that he has a son who was an official in the early dynasty, and the officials in the area of Fengxiang Mansion did not dare to provoke their Li family, there are very few officers and soldiers in Wangyang County, and under normal circumstances, they dare not go out of the city to suppress bandits, most of this kind of thing is done by local gentry, and this time it was the Li family's township Yong who did it!
As for why they didn't come here to look for us, the little ones couldn't figure it out, but the little ones guessed if it would be because they copied the grain and wealth of our old camp, and then they felt that we couldn't do anything anymore, so they divided our things and went back! On the way back with Master Jin and the others, I sent a brother to inquire in the direction of Huangyang County and the Li family, and if it goes well, I may bring back the news tomorrow at noon! ”
Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "Hmm! What Brother Shi said makes sense! Most likely, this is the reason! What else is there to lose, the big guys are all total! ”
At this time, Feng Gouzi took over the conversation and said: "Zhangpan, the reason why they didn't come here this time is small, it is likely that they are not ready to come to such a far place, and when they copied our old camp, they thought we were all here, and they didn't know that we came out to fight Fanjiabao!"
What's more, this Fan Jiabao is located in a remote area, and there is not necessarily harmony between the gentry, even if his Li family knows that we are looking for trouble with the surname Fan, they can't come to help the surname Fan, so they will copy our old camp and go back to their homes! ”
After everyone analyzed it babblingly, they could only summarize so many reasons, but no matter what, this time the Li family did not plan to come here to find them after raiding their nest.
This gave them a certain amount of time to prepare for the response, Xiao Tianjian groaned for a while, then raised his head and ordered a few people under him: "You guys speed up the training of your subordinates!" Fanjiabao is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Shi Ran will work hard, tomorrow morning you will take a few people to Wang Tianlong's lair to find out the situation over there! In addition, recruit more homeless people along the way, we have enough food to recruit some more manpower now, so we might as well make it bigger!
For the time being, we don't have the strength to deal with the Li family, so let's take down Wang Tianlong's lair first and hoard strength! After our strength is enough, we will take Lijiazhuang in one fell swoop, Fanjiabao is not too rich in the area of Huangyang, so we have so much money and grain, presumably Lijiazhuang will be much richer than Fan's family, and when the time comes, we will be developed! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement with Xiao Tianjian's arrangement, although they all gritted their teeth with hatred, but the Li family is indeed extremely powerful in the area of Huangyang, and in their eyes it is a behemoth, and they can't help them for the time being, so they can only stop hoarding strength before seeking revenge.
Just when Xiao Tianjian and his subordinates were discussing what to do next, Lijiazhuang was very lively, in the Zhuangzi's drying field, Lijiazhuang opened dozens of tables of banquets, one or two hundred villagers gathered together, eating and chewing, shouting and drinking, so lively.
That Li Fengtian even personally went to the drying field to toast the villagers who went out to do things this time, and he seemed very happy.
This time, they followed the officers and soldiers of Huangyang to copy Xiao Yiaxe's nest in one fell swoop, there was almost no loss, and a lot of money and grain were copied back, although the Zhang who gave it to Wangyang had a part of the money and grain, but the Li family still left a lot of things, and also won dozens of poles, for their Li family, it can be described as a big victory!
The only pity is that they went to Xiao Yiaxe's lair this time, and failed to block Xiao Yiaxe himself and the main force under his command, so that they were able to escape, but for this result, Li Yuanwai is still relatively satisfied!
After all, he heard that Xiao Yiaxe's subordinates were only a few dozen people, but this time they were greedy enough to attack Fanjiabao, in his opinion, it was simply self-defeating, at least it was definitely not cheap in Fanjiabao, after his nest was copied, these poles became rootless duckweed, no money and no food, so naturally they dispersed, not to mention that they and the Fan family were not on the right road, and they were not willing to run dozens of miles to help the Fan family, so this time the general who took the township soldiers out to do things returned to Lijiazhuang with his subordinates.
In Li Fengtian's eyes, this can be regarded as avenging Sha Erbao, at least it has also shocked the nearby poles, letting them know that his Li family is a person who cannot be provoked, and it can be regarded as letting him out of this evil breath, and see if anyone dares to touch his Li family's tiger whiskers in the future.
So as soon as these townsmen returned to Lijiazhuang, Li Fengtian immediately took out wine, meat and dishes to reward these townsmen, so that they could have a good meal and continue to serve his Li family in the future.
After the turmoil in Shaanxi in the first few years, Li Fengtian also saw that he could not only rely on the government to protect such a big family business, but also had his own strength in order to gain a foothold in this area to protect himself, so Li Fengtian spent money over the years to recruit a group of ruffians and homeless people to join him Lijiazhuang organized a village army of Lijiazhuang, and also built a strong wall in Lijiazhuang, which was almost a small city, very strong.
Right now, who in the Huangyang area doesn't know that his Li family can't afford to mess with him! There are as many as four or five hundred village soldiers of his Li family alone, and with the young and strong among the tenants of the Li family, the Li family can pull up a team of more than a thousand people at will, and the general pole does not dare to beat their Li family's idea at all.
So in Li Fengtian's opinion, even if he didn't kill the surnamed Xiao this time, at least he would have mutilated him, and he expected that the person surnamed Xiao would never dare to offend them again Li Jiazhuang, so he no longer cared about this matter.
It's a pity that Li Fengtian still miscalculated, he had just rewarded his subordinates for less than two days, and soon he heard a subordinate who came back from outside tell him something, which immediately surprised Li Fengtian again.
"What? The one surnamed Xiao actually laid down Fanjiabao? How is this possible? Then Fanjiabao has at least dozens of Zhuang Ding, plus tenants, and Baozi, how can it be easily poured into it by the little person surnamed Xiao? Li Fengtian almost couldn't believe his ears.
"Outside, this matter shouldn't be fake, it was said by Zhuang Ding who ran out of Fanjiabao! This matter is also strange, when the surnamed Xiao took people to fight Fanjiabao this time, he happened to run into Wang Tianlong all the way to fight Fanjiabao, and the two actually fought in Fanjiabao, and the surname Xiao killed that Wang Tianlong and swallowed Wang Tianlong's men, which was poured into Fanjiabao! At present, there are two or three hundred subordinates surnamed Xiao, and this matter has to be guarded against! The subordinate hurriedly explained to Li Fengtian.
Li Fengtian's long eyebrows jumped a few times, the fingers on the armrest also flicked a few times involuntarily, the long nails gently knocked on the armrest of the chair, and a cold light flashed in his dazzled eyes, and then relaxed again.
"So, I underestimated the surname Xiao! I didn't expect him to really have some ability, even Wang Tianlong's group can swallow it, it seems that this snake's ability to swallow elephants is really not small, first swallowed Sha Erbao, and then Wang Tianlong! If this person sits down, I am afraid that it will eventually become a big disaster! It seems that this matter has to be considered in the long run! You go and give the Zhou family and the Wang family a post, and we will discuss how this matter should be! You can't watch such a pole run rampant in our realm! After all, Li Fengtian is old, and his calm ability is still not small, but he was nervous, so he picked up the tea bowl, smacked it gently, and commanded his subordinates seemingly casually.
The subordinate immediately nodded in agreement, and retreated cautiously, Li Fengtian put the tea bowl on the table and sneered: "What stinky fish and rotten shrimp, I also want to sit in this place in Wangyang!" You shouldn't provoke my Li family! This is to blame the old man for being ruthless! ……”
