Song Ganlai had already noticed Qian Sanniang and his party. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the morning, after discussing with the villagers, he continued to go back to the fields to work, and did not go back at noon, only ate a little dry food that he had brought with him.

It was not until late in the afternoon that he went to the river to wash his hands and feet and prepare to go home, and then saw a group of people coming from a distance.

At first, Song Ganlai was very frightened, thinking that it was a horse thief, but soon thought it was not. He has also seen horse thieves, and every time they approach a village or see someone, they shout and roar, and even kill people and trample people, wishing that the whole world would know that they are horse thieves.

But these people are very quiet, very different from the way the horse thieves behave.

They quietly came to Fengshan Village and crossed the river quietly.

After crossing the river of immortality, they all dismounted, and let their horses shake their hair and water happily. They also tidied up their own clothes, wrung out their wet cloaks and trousers, etc., and then rode back to the horse.

Song Gan came to see these people, all of them were fast horses, gray felt cloaks, and it seemed that everyone was wearing armor, which was the kind of dark gray iron-inlaid cotton armor.

He was more relieved, he had never heard of horse thieves wearing armor.

Nor are they like the horse corps of officers and soldiers.

In the impression of Song Ganlai and others, there is no such horse team in Pizhou.

The horse corps of the officers and soldiers was no better than the horse thief, and they killed people and set fires without any scruples.

The group remained silent.

In the end, Song Ganlai saw that the leader of the horse team seemed to be a woman, a very young and cold woman.

She wore a felt hat, a cloak, and a reins in one hand, and her eyes were as bright as cold stars, and she only quietly looked at the wheat field in the village in front of her.

Seeing that she was still carrying a bow and arrows, and a lot of things in the saddle, beside her was a rather stout woman, dressed the same, just as young, and looked no more than twenty years old.

Song Ganlai was very surprised, it was a woman as the leader.

In Song Ganlai's impression, women, whether thin or coarse, fat or fat, work inside and outside the house during the day, and under the bed at night, silently enduring the hardships of life. It's very rare to show up like this, and lead a strong man to run outside.

However, curiosity is curiosity, seeing that the group of people are quietly stationed on the horse and do not harass the people, Song Ganlai is more at ease.

At the same time, his heart swelled with curiosity, who are these people?

Suddenly, a thought came to his mind, could it be...... These people are the horse team of Xin'anzhuang? What about Lord Yang's subordinates?

His heart beat violently, if so, he had heard about it earlier, then Lord Yang seemed to hate bandits very much, and every time he went, he would kill all the bandits in a place, should he inform these people of the news that there were bandits in Fengshan Village?

However, he still hesitated and struggled, even if he was longing, but in the face of unknown, powerful and extraordinary force, the little people would instinctively fear and refuse to approach. Look at the surrounding neighbors, and even more at any time to turn their legs to run.

While he was hesitating, he heard the woman in the lead speak and call him over for questioning.

Song Ganlai still hesitated, and the woman took out something from the horse jacket and threw it over.

Song Ganlai picked it up and saw that it was a tael of silver, and he immediately put his mind at ease.

One or two pieces of silver is not a small amount, and it is rare for people in the countryside to see it, and the basic circulation here is copper coins. With this harvest, it can greatly subsidize the family. Generally, if you will harm the other party, you will not give money, and this psychological change is very subtle.

Song Ganlai happily put the silver in his arms and hurriedly passed.

Qian Sanniang saw the villagers coming, and sure enough, it was useful to throw the silver. This time they traveled, Yang Xianggong gave 150 taels of silver as public expenses for use on the road. If there is anything to spend money on, you can also withdraw it from within.

Sure enough, it worked.

Qian Sanniang saw that the villagers walked to the horse with some fear, maybe only in their thirties, but they were too old to speak, she said: "Wu Na man, we are under the command of Lord Yang, the general manager of Suining Lian, and came out to investigate the matter of the thieves in Qingshan. Have you heard from any of your villagers? ”

Under Qian Sanniang's gaze, Song Ganlai fell into the ice cellar, making him sober all over.

I feel that this female leader is so cold and powerful, and idle men don't dare to look at her. However, she also heard her words clearly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you are really the one who likes to kill bandits, and everywhere you go, the local bandits are all dead?" ”

Qian Sanniang said: "Exactly, we are under the command of Lord Yang." Lord Yang will soon be appointed as the general manager of Pizhou, and the local bandits will be killed. If you know about the bandits, or even about the green bandits, tell them and you will be rewarded. If you don't say it, you are harboring and shielding, and you are guilty of the same crime as the bandits. Do you know the recent news of the Castle Peak Remnant? ”

At this time, many villagers in the fields also gathered and stood from a distance to listen.

While talking about the woman as the leader, he said that Cao Cao arrived, and Cao Cao arrived, and everyone was looking forward to joy. However, when the female leader talked about the bandits, and even the green bandits, some of the villagers opened their mouths, and when the words came to an end, they swallowed them back.

The bandits in the village are all in collusion with the bandits outside, and if you offend them, you don't know when you will die. Not to mention those tougher Aoyama Remnant Horse Teams. The peasants in the countryside are always frightened, how dare they offend these tough bandits who take people's lives at every turn?

In fact, ordinary villagers don't even dare to offend ordinary scoundrels in the village.

Looking ahead and looking ahead, being timid and afraid of things is also doomed to the fate of being bullied by fish and meat.

However, Song Ganlai is a bit of a two-pole, that is, the so-called reckless work, year after year, he has long hated the bandits in the village, especially hated them for colluding with bandits and horse thieves outside to oppress the neighbors. At this time, a breath came up and said: "I know, I know, there are bandits in my village......"

He knelt down with a snort and couldn't stop crying: "These people who kill a thousand knives are specially trying to harm their neighbors, and they really deserve a thousand cuts." ”

According to what he said, although Fengshan Village is small, with more than 100 households, because it is at the junction of Pixu and Xu, there are as many as five or six full-time bandits, and there are more than a dozen part-time bandits.

These bandits have lost their conscience, especially those who are full-time bandits.

They kidnap tickets for extortion just for leisure, and colluding with outsiders to kill villagers is even more common.

“…… These thieves are really not human. There is a family in my village, ordinary people, and people are kind. However, one night last year, a family of six was wiped out, and even newborn babies were thrown into the fire and burned alive. After this happened, the people in the village were very surprised, because this family did not have much money. More than a month later, a thief embryo boasted about himself, just for the sake of a chicken. ”

Song Ganlai burst into tears: "The thief went to the door and saw that the family was eating chickens, so he was jealous in his heart and said, 'Why can he eat chickens, but I can't?'" Because of this, he colluded with the bandits outside to destroy the family, and even the last bit of miscellaneous grain from his family was searched. ”

"There have been too many such things over the years, and this year three more families have been wiped out, both poor and rich, and one of them is my neighbor...... After decades of neighborhood, he is a good person, just because he raised more than 30 sheep, should the whole family die? In February, there was a family in my village whose children were kidnapped, and it was the bandits who heard that his family had ancestral bronze utensils, which might be worth a few dollars, so they wanted to kidnap the ticket for ransom. The man borrowed the money and paid the ransom, but his son and daughter were torn apart. In particular, the girl's corpse was brought back, and everyone didn't dare to look at it! ”

Song Ganlai called for heaven and land, and the surrounding villagers also wept silently.

They are all villagers from the same village, and they empathize with all kinds of experiences, and maybe it will be their turn at any time.

At the same time, some villagers were surprised, this Song Er was stunned and said it, it seemed that he was not ready to leave a way back.

Qian Sanniang listened quietly, with a murderous intent in her heart, she had never had a good impression of bandits, and the loss of her sister Qian Wuniang was inseparable from the bandit gangs of the people.

There are also darts over the years, and the most encountered on the road are bandits. In order to make a living, he always has to swallow his anger and accept the blackmail of various bandits.

Almost sixty percent of the money her father has earned over the years has been put into dotting, and the hard-earned money of the dart game has flowed out in vain.

Qian Sanniang was always angry, she once swore that if she had the opportunity, she would kill all the bandits in the world to see if they dared to blackmail her.

The more Song Ganlai spoke, the more he beat his chest and sobbed, he said that the bandits in the village were not people, and some families even did this for generations since the Southern Song Dynasty.

They don't farm the land, they keep an eye on the people in the village or nearby, and whoever has the slightest wealth will be unlucky.

Now he even colludes with the Qingshan bandits to help outsiders to extort money.

Why?

Song Ganlai was furious.

The government has endured the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, these thieves are not officials or officials, why should they swagger and extort money and food, and even take their last life-saving rations?

He was extremely unconvinced.

These thieves dare to go mad and blackmail and kill their neighbors, and now that the opportunity has come, he will let them die.

Song Ganlai cried out, and the sentinels were also filled with righteous indignation, they were from the bottom, and many things about bandits actually felt the same way.

Qian Sanniang listened to Song Ganlai kowtow and cry, although what he said was reversed, she still keenly got a message that there were not only bandits in Fengshan Village, but even collusion with the remnants of Qingshan, which was good news.

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.

She glanced at each other with Li Ruwan beside her, and said, "You man, you said that the bandits in the village colluded with the Qingshan thieves, you may know their whereabouts?" ”

Song Gan said: "It's true, recently the Qingshan thieves have issued a notice to each village, saying how much food and salary each family should provide, which is very detailed. It's not that the bandits in each village are in collusion with the horse thieves, how can the Qingshan thieves who killed a thousand knives know so clearly? ”

He also said that recently, bandits from nearby villages had gathered in Fengshan Village, swaggering, and they didn't know what they were discussing.

Qian Sanniang took out another five taels of silver from the horse jacket and threw it in front of Song Ganlai: "Okay, this is a reward for you." ”

She glanced at Pei Pochuan and Ling Zhanyun in the team: "What do Captain Pei and Captain Ling say?" ”

At this time, Pei Pochuan and Ling Zhanyun converged and came out, the same war horse, gray felt cloak, and riding winged tiger guns and Xin'an handguns.

They also carried a lance and a hook and sickle, as well as rockets and bows and arrows.

Hearing this, Pei Pochuan said coldly: "All the bandits in the village were killed, and none of them were left. ”

When he heard Song Ganlai crying, his stomach exploded, and he couldn't help but think of the incident of "Li Zhuang" in the past, and there was only one word in his heart: "Kill!" ”

Ling Zhanyun said: "The bandits must be killed, but they must also leave a few live torturers. ”

So it was decided to kill all the bandits, leave a few alive, and torture if there was a green mountain horse thief in the vicinity.

Then he captures the horse thieves and learns from them about their nest.

Qian Sanniang asked Song Ganlai again about some things, such as how many bandits gathered in the village and how strong they were.

Finally, I know that there are nearly 50 bandits who have recently gathered in Fengshan Village, and in addition to knives and axes, some of them have bows and arrows, and they are all gathered in the Temple of Our Lady at the foot of the mountain in the north of the village.

The soldiers were very fast, Qian Sanniang immediately ordered to set off, and asked Song Ganlai to also ride a horse to lead the way, led by a sentry horse.

Song Ganlai did not forget to bring his farm tools, and soon they rushed away, leaving billowing dust.

The rest of the villagers in the fields were amazed and discussed, and they all had a feeling that the time had come for the fate of everyone in Fengshan Village to turn around.

Many people couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, and even followed to see it.

……

There have always been many temples in northern villages, and the same is true for Fengshan Village.

Although the village is small, there are many temples, only outside the village, there is the Niuwang Temple in the east of the village, there is the Land Temple in the west of the village, and there is the Longwang Temple in the south of the village.

There are two temples in the north of the village, according to the hillside, the northeast is about the emperor temple, and there is the temple of Our Lady in the northwest.

Qian Sanniang and her entourage swept through the village like a whirlwind, heading to the Temple of Our Lady, with low polder walls along the way, low thatched adobe houses inside, and occasionally some brick houses. Like many villages, the outside of the village wall was also dug with potholes, making it difficult for bandits to attack the village.

Then the east and south sides of the village also attract river water to protect the village.

There are still more than 100 young people in Fengshan Village, and it is no problem to prevent small groups of bandits, but it is a pity that it is difficult to prevent thieves, and there are too many bandits in the village who know the inside story, so that the defense of the village is like a leaky sieve, and now it is even more at the point of self-destruction.

Qian Sanniang and others walked from the west of the village, and there was also a wheat field in the east and west of the village.

Looking at the growth, although it is not as good as the fields in the east and south, the crops are ripe and always harvested, and the hearts of the people in each village are meat.

They galloped down the path, drawing screams from villagers working in the fields along the way.

Then the iron horse walked away, and everyone was stunned, and they all inquired about each other in horror.

Under the guidance of Song Ganlai, soon the group was not far from the Temple of Our Lady, and saw the main hall and gatehouse from a distance.

It can be seen that this temple used to be brilliant, the building was beautiful, the gold was brilliant, and now only the barren grass is left in the courtyard, and the cracks in the temple wall are eroding.
