Hou Xuanyan jumped off his horse, and the villagers behind him consciously stopped.

Bent their knees and kowtow three times, and more than 800 township soldiers were in unison, following and bowing.

20,000 people in Jiading were slaughtered, just because they refused to shave their hair and changed clothes, and they forgot their ancestors. Now the remaining 800 lonely ghosts, homeless avengers, are coming.

Their combat power may be ridiculously weak, but the spirit is strong enough, this is the Han people, the well-deserved Han people, there is great etiquette, so it is called Xia, there is the beauty of uniforms, called Hua. In comparison, those who have itchy scalps that are too cool are as high as the "King of Pingxi", as powerful as Hong Chengchou and others, and as small as dwarfs.

"Into town!"

Hou Xuanyan waved his big hand, and the blood-smeared 800 villagers rushed into their hometown with a howl.

All the Qing soldiers were busy looting property and slaughtering those who slipped through the net, and no one was guarded against them. In history, after only a dozen days, they would even be driven out of the city by fifty people.

Contrary to Hou Xuanyan's expectations, when he entered the city, he did not meet a large number of Qing soldiers. There are only small teams of threes and twos, looking for hidden villagers in the city. Such brutes, naturally, saw one by one, killed one by one, and the people of Jiading who hid in various places, and those who survived, also came out and joined them.

Killed all the way to the county office, where there were lights and lights, Xu Yuanji and other people who took advantage of the chaos to become traitors were washing the dust for the new county order.

As soon as the little Taoist priest Hong broke through the door, he saw several men in silk clothes, with money rat tails, with ridiculous braids, who were pushing cups and changing lamps, and they were already half drunk.

Seeing the people coming, they were just a small surviving people, and said angrily: "Where are the left and right? ”

"I was sent by your Daoist Master to see the Nine Palaces Yama."

Xu Yuanji, as a traitor, can get mixed up to this point, which is also the credit of killing people. Since he surrendered to the Qing army, killing people in the city is not counted, but also eating people's hearts and livers. Drunkenly, he saw that there was only a little Taoist priest, and he didn't pay attention to it, and he was about to come up and kill people with his knife in his hand.

With a bang, the wooden door of the inner courtyard of the county government was completely knocked down, and Xu Yuanji hurriedly retreated. Hong Yixun was choked by the falling dust and coughed, and said angrily: "The door is here, do you have to open it before entering." ”

The visitor laughed, ignored his complaints, and shouted, "Hou Gongzi, there is a nest of big fish here." ”

Hou Xuanyan heard the shout and led people straight here, Xu Yuanji's face was as gray as gray, and a pair of thief eyes were rolling around, thinking of a way to get out. The newly arrived county magistrate was originally a scholar, but after the reduction, he finally got an official position. When I came to Jiading, I was already frightened by this hell on earth. paralyzed himself with the strength of alcohol, and saw a group of people with bloody faces rushing in front of him, but it was not the evil devil's revenge. He was terrified for a moment, his gallbladder ruptured and spit green juice in his mouth, and he was scared to death.

Some of the township soldiers knew Xu Yuanji, and said viciously: "Xu Yuanji, you cut your hair to fight for the tiger, and slaughtered your fellow villagers with all your conscience, have you ever thought about today?" ”

Xu Yuanji retreated to the wall, raised his arm to smash the window, and came out of the wall. The previous prefect was an elegant man, and the courtyard was full of flowers and plants, and it happened that behind the wall was a piece of wolfbone and juniper. The sharp thorns pierced his whole body, Xu Yuanji didn't care about the pain, got up and was about to escape. Bumped into a little fat man head-on, holding a picked up mace, and was weighing whether it was going well.

Xu Yuanbao looked at the money rattail on the back of his head, and only thought it was a Qing soldier, and shouted: "Eat your grandfather's stick!" "A stick knocks down, right in the head. Xu Yuanji's bare head was opened in this way, the blood flowed nonstop, blood was spitting out in his mouth, and his eyes turned black and ended his life of sin.

"It's easy to use, it's still easy to use." Xu Yuanbao's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his new weapon with satisfaction, and said to himself.

Hou Xuanyan led the crowd to chase him out, and when he saw that the traitor had already surrendered to the law, he ordered everyone to escort the Qing soldiers who were captured alive.

Most of these people were Wu Song Qing soldiers brought by Li Chengdong and borrowed Taicang Qing soldiers, and one of them, dressed differently from Qing soldiers, buried his head between his legs to dodge.

Hou Xuanyan came to his side, kicked it, and scolded: "Raise your head!" ”

The man was trembling and refused to raise his head. Hong Yixun was furious, grabbed his pigtails, and pulled him up.

There was a burst of exclamation and angry scolding in the crowd, Hou Xuanyan took a closer look, searched for the inherited memory, and recognized that this person turned out to be the head of the county.

"What? Why didn't Zhang Dadu dare to look up and see people? But you know shame. Hou Xuanyan sneered.

Zhang Heng had tears in his eyes, and whimpered: "Hou Gongzi spare the villain's life, I have a seventy old woman, blind and deaf, I really have to be a thief." ”

"Phew! As long as you have a mother, other people's parents don't need to be supported? Open your dog's eyes and take a look, how many corpses in the city do you not recognize? They just jumped out of the stones, don't they have a father? ”

Hou Xuanyan kicked him down and asked, "Say!" Where is Li Chengdong's dog thief now? Zhang Heng had snot and tears mixed on his face, and he couldn't spit out words clearly, just crying.

A Qing soldier next to him, seeing that Zhang Heng was speechless, crawled over and shouted urgently: "I know, I know the whereabouts of the chief soldier." ”

"Say!"

"I said, I just ask the adults to spare my life."

Hou Xuanyan looked at him and said, "Okay, the main thing is that you tell Li Chengdong's whereabouts, I don't want to kill you." ”

Qing Bing was overjoyed, struggled to sit up, and said, "The general soldier is great... Li Chengdong took the treasures found in Jiading, loaded 300 ships, and went to Taicang. ”

"If you dare to say half a lie..."

Qing Bing raised his head, and under the instinct of survival, he said bitterly: "Don't worry, the villain is telling the truth, and they can all testify." ”

"Zhang Heng!"

Jiading, who was crying on the ground, nodded heavily.

"Well, you're not lying."

Qing Bing's face was full of joy, and he said: "It is a great kindness for an adult to spare the villain's life, how dare the villain lie." ”

Hou Xuanyan sneered: "Who said that I spared your life? ”

Qing Bing's face changed suddenly, and he glared at the beads of his eyes and howled: "You can't be untrustworthy." ”

"Allow you to kill people and set fires on dog days, but you want others to be honest and trustworthy, are you born so stupid, or who gave you the self-confidence?" The villagers laughed cruelly, their hatred was not diminished in the slightest, and they only felt that Hou Xuanyan's words were in line with their thoughts.

Hou Xuanyan looked around and found that the weapon in Xu Yuanbao's hand was the most relieving, and said: "Yuanbao, give me the mace, I will slash him." ”

Xu Yuanbao is also a little gentleman who is not angry, the old man did not have any filial piety when he was there, and he only remembered the benefits of his father after his death.

I heard Zhang Heng cry about his old lady just now, and I thought of my gentle and weak mother, and my heart seemed to have countless hands scratching, and I only felt extremely uncomfortable.

He screamed, jumped to Hou Xuanyan's side, and killed the Qing soldiers with a stick. The tears could not be stopped any longer, but there was no crying at all.

Hou Xuanyan hugged him around his shoulders and said, "Cry, don't cry after today." ”
