Chapter 101: Killing a Gang of 'Thieves'
"You're just a village soldier, and your 'Li Gongzi' is just a general. Even if he is a chief soldier, he is also a royal eagle dog. If you get out of here obediently, I will inform Governor Li and punish you lightly. Manager Gu continued to say coldly.
Originally, Li Mu didn't know how to deal with it, but after listening to the words of the general manager, he knew that this matter could not be good. Even if they give in, they still have to send a message to Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, Zhou Wangfu, this is unreasonable, and if you ignore it, you will stir up three points.
Li Mu immediately made a decision, since the head of this palace is so horizontal, then he is not welcome.
He took out his bow and arrows from both the left and right sides of the saddle at the same time, and instantly drew his bow and arrows. When Manager Gu's eyes widened in surprise, the feather arrow had already shot into his throat.
"You thief!" Li Mu suddenly shouted loudly: "Dare to pretend to be the family member of King Zhou's Mansion in front of grandpa?!" ”
Everyone was silent and looked at Li Mu on the horse in a daze.
"Fence it off! Destroy all these thieves! Don't let any of them go! Li Mu ordered loudly.
At this time, there were already more than forty soldiers who arrived here, and they reacted immediately. If these people are really from the palace, then they will definitely be implicated, or kill them cleanly! If these people are impersonated by thieves, they are meritorious in suppressing thieves. So, it's not difficult to make any choices.
So they immediately surrounded the stunned family members and began to slash and kill in groups of three or four. Although there were many people with good kung fu among those families, when they were attacked in the upper, middle, and lower lanes, they were quickly killed and fell to the ground.
If there is a powerful one, or someone who wants to escape, it is Li Mu who shoots an arrow on the horse, and Qian second-class veterans go up to attack. A quarter of an hour later, all the royal staff were cut down.
Li Mu ordered: "Dispose of the corpses, they are all clean!" Look around again to see if there's anything hidden. When he had finished giving the order, he looked around at the horse, but found no other figures, so he was relieved. As long as the corpses of these people are disposed of, there will be no problem.
The soldiers built a platform out of the stakes in the enclosure and put the corpses of those men on it, then went to find lamp oil and poured it on it, lit a fire, and billowing black smoke rose up.
In the distance, Huang Ertou lay in the wild grass, looking at this terrifying scene incredibly, not daring to make a sound. He could never have imagined that someone would dare to kill the head of the palace, and his work and his future would be destroyed in one fell swoop.
He lay on his stomach on the cold ground in confusion, not daring to move, but fortunately the soldiers did not search so far. It wasn't until it was dark that he slowly returned to his home by night. He got all the food out of the house, made cakes overnight, and took his wife on the road to Kaifeng the next day.
The next day, Li Mu made a special trip to the county seat.
"Fourth brother, look at this." Li Mu saw Li Yan in the barracks, handed Manager Gu's waist card to Li Yan, and said.
Li Yan took it and looked at it, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"I took him and his henchmen out." Li Mu said lightly.
Li Yan was a little confused, not knowing what the situation was, and asked, "Solution?" Have you solved a governor of the palace? ”
Li Mu explained in detail what happened yesterday, and then explained: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I have dealt with all these people, and the corpses have also been disposed of, and there is nothing to do." ”
"Yesterday's black smoke is you disposing of corpses?" Li Yan asked.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, it's all burned, and the ashes are scattered on the ground, so that Zhao Hugang can have a good harvest in the coming year." ”
"Confused!" Li Yan hated iron and said: "They went to Zhaohugang, and everyone in Wangfu Grange knew about it." If you don't go back for such a long time, you will definitely suspect us. ”
"Then wash their Zhuangzi too? Just get the grange of King Zhou's mansion over, and our land will be connected. Li Mu asked seriously.
Li Yan pointed at Li Mu with his finger, and it took a long time before he helplessly put down his finger and said, "This can't solve the problem!" When he went back and reconciled his words with the brothers below, he said that he had exterminated a gang of thieves and burned his corpses. Also, dispose of this as well. While speaking, Li Yan threw Manager Gu's waist card to Li Mu.
"It's golden, isn't it?" Li Mu hurriedly said: "At least it's gold-plated, melt it down and cast it again." ”
Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want, the text and style can't be left." And everyone else's, too, get rid of everything that proves their identity! Give them some compensation. In short, no matter who asks, it's all banditry! ”
Li Mu also understood what Li Yan meant. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
Li Yan stared at Li Mu and said, "The New Year is coming soon, and this year another 'training salary' has been added, and there should be displaced people coming out after that." You give me a good reception, don't get into any more trouble. If you can't do it well, you will come to guard the county! ”
"Got it, Fourth Brother." Li Mu nodded and said, "In the future, when I kill these corrupt officials and bullying slaves, I will send someone to ask the fourth brother for instructions first." ”
Li Yan frowned and said, "You think about it yourself!" The key is not to have too much trouble. Our little strength can't withstand the twists and turns. ”
"Understood."
Li Yan suddenly said again: "In the future, whether it is killing the enemy or suppressing the thief, all the seized property must be handed over!" And then the credit is redistributed. Whoever hides it and doesn't hand it over, after discovering it, ten military sticks! Half of the concealed property goes to the informant. ”
"Fourth brother, the brothers don't fight just to have enough to eat." Li Mu reminded: "If the brothers are dissatisfied, our team will disperse. ”
Li Yan taught: "Is war a one-man business?!" If they all go to loot property, is there any military discipline to speak of?! ”
"The arrangement of the credit will have to be thought through, and everyone must be satisfied." Li Mu said.
Li Yan nodded and said, "You're right, this is something to think about." However, the distribution of gold and silver is determined by the role and danger of each class. As for the bravery and wit of the individual in battle, that is another reward. We have to leave at least fifty percent as a reserve for future development, and we can't give them all, one by one they become rich, which one can still give up their lives?! ”
"What the fourth brother said is that you have to think of a way." Li Mu also nodded in agreement. Although there have been many famines in recent years, and grain is expensive, after the grain harvest, the value of gold and silver has reappeared. If the soldiers had more gold and silver in their hands, would anyone still want to fight?
"We'll discuss this later, you have to do a good job of resettling the homeless and training new recruits now! This period of time is a rare period of development for us, and it cannot be wasted. Li Yan admonished.
Li Mu said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will do a good job." ”
