Chapter 34: Three Killings of Zhujiazhuang (4)
(XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) (XX website.xxx.***) after a few days, Wujiazhuang is calm, these days, Shi Xiu, Mu Hong, Zhang Shun and Zhu Wu rushed to Wujiazhuang with a large number of guards, every day Wuzhi will discuss with Zhu Wu for a long time, Wujiazhuang is actually an undercurrent surging, Zhu Chaofeng of Zhujiazhuang seems to have gone to Zhending Mansion in person, these days have not returned, it seems that Jiang Zhifu does not sell his face, Zhu Biao is not able to keep it for a while.
On this day, Wu Zhi and Zhu Wu wandered in the Zhuangzi, talking about Zhujiazhuang while enjoying the scenery of the manor, and a few days ago arrested a fine work, that is, a woman who bewitched Chunhua, the woman had confessed that the poison of the big cow was under her, and later sent Chunhua "tonic", saying that the big cow's body needs to be tonic, that is also a kind of poison, and the spring flower fed the big cow under her instigation, which led to the recurrence of the big cow's condition.
The woman was the leader of Zhujiazhuang in Wujiazhuang, and had summoned Zhujiazhuang in Wujiazhuang's detailed work department, Wu Zhi only sent people to secretly monitor those fine works, and did not alarm them, and put the woman back, and ordered her to continue to contact Zhu Long, and then report the details to Zhu Wu.
Speaking of this woman, Wu Zhi couldn't help asking, "Has Zhu Long been in contact with her recently?" ”
Zhu Wu shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid that Zhu Jiazhuang is worrying about Zhu Biao these days." ”
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Zhu Long will not be sad for Zhu Biao, he should be thinking about how to trample our Wujiazhuang under his feet every day, if he can't find Zhu Hu's death, Zhu Long will definitely not give up." "Wu Zhi has long explored the temperament of the three tigers of the Zhu family and Zhu Chaofeng, and he knows Zhu Long very well, among the three tigers of the Zhu family, this guy is the most hypocritical and cunning.
Zhu Wu smiled: "It seems that the prince Zhizhu is in his hands?" ”
Wu Zhi smiled. What wisdom beads are in hand, only soldiers will block them, and water will cover them. In terms of power, the two sides are very different, and in terms of force, Wujiazhuang is now even more proficient. Speaking of knowing the other, Zhujiazhuang's fine work has been cleared, how to count Zhujiazhuang is also like hitting a stone with an egg. It's just that how to cut the grass and eradicate the Zhu family is quite difficult to think about.
"Flower cloth! Superior flower cloth! ”
"Bianjing Rouge! Come and buy it! ”
There was a commotion ahead, dozens of peasant women were bargaining in front of several merchants, and the life of the tenant farmers in the samurai village became richer and richer, and the number of merchants here gradually increased. Look at it from afar. The picks of these merchants are full of all kinds of goods, and the species are also golden.
Wu Zhi smiled: "When next year's big business is completed, there must be people who come to Wujiazhuang to open a shop." After careful consideration, Wu Zhi has come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, control production, and make fairy tea, which is only for the upper echelons of Liaojin to enjoy, so that it can not be spread among the people. It can also earn a lot of money, and it can also weaken the opponent's national strength, of course, it is easier said than done. The specific steps will need to be carefully considered at that time. This matter is extremely confidential, but he didn't talk about it with Zhu Wu, although he doesn't need to be suspicious, and he doesn't suspect it, but Zhu Wu is different from those heroes who throw their heads and spill their blood, this guy is very scheming, and he can't tell the most confidential thing if he doesn't really convince him.
Zhu Wu only knew that Wu Zhi would have a big business next year, but he didn't know what business it was, and he didn't ask much. smiled: "Wujiazhuang is going to have every inch of land." ”
Wu Zhi nodded. Referring to the tenant farmers on both sides of the main street, "some shops will be set up here." But these families had to pay some money and move away. ”
Zhu Wu was stunned and said: "Why do you want to subsidize their money, you just need to choose another address to settle it." ”
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and he regarded them as demolition households in the future? Here, however, each house is its own land, and I don't have to pay the "demolition fee" when I think about it, so I smile and walk forward slowly.
When passing by the side of those merchants, the women of the samurai village greeted each other, and those merchants heard that this was the owner of the samurai village, and they were even more courteous to say hello.
Wu Zhi greeted them one by one with a smile, went over to rummage through the goods of one of the merchants at random, and smiled: "There are a lot of good things." ”
The merchant grinned innocently, revealing the black teeth in his mouth: "The master's Zhuangzi is rich, and Xiaodi naturally wants to bring good things to sell, if you only pick coarse cloth, won't you be laughed at?" ”
Wu Zhi nodded, turned around and walked away, and continued to walk forward with Zhu Wu, followed by several guards behind him.
After walking more than a dozen steps, Wu Zhi suddenly asked Zhu Wu, "Why doesn't Mr. speak?" ”
Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The prince has fiery eyes, why do you need to say more?" ”
Wu Zhi smiled: "I see, I thought that Mr. Wu was jealous, and he was using his talent to cover up his edge." ”
Zhu Wu is a dignified, the king of this person, always looks so pleasant, but Zhu Wu always feels that there is a pair of cold eyes behind his kind face silently watching everything he suffers, Zhu Wu has a sense of oppression in front of Wu Zhi, it is because Zhu Wu has been conscientiously doing the things that Wu Zhi explained these days, but he never dared to show too prominently, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, not for anything else, if the king is a mediocre lord, he can show off his skills, maybe he can still be relied on as his right-hand man. But your king is shrewd and capable, and it is better not to show his edge, so as not to be suspicious of him.
At this time, Wu Zhi was talking about his heart, Zhu Wu couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly said, "The villain doesn't dare." ”
Wu Zhi clicked the words, and no longer spoke deeply, and said with a smile: "Let's go." Walking forward first, Zhu Wu was stunned for a long time and hurriedly followed.
At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
In front of the martial arts compound, a few black shadows like raccoon cats suddenly appeared, taking advantage of the terrain to cover them, jumping flexibly and gradually approaching the dark gate of the martial arts compound.
Far away, several black shadows stopped at the same time, showing that they had a very tacit understanding, one of the black shadows took out a round short tube, put it in his mouth, and aimed at the big red lantern hanging high next to the courtyard door and blew it a few times, and a few steel needles flew out of the short tube, and the candle flame in the middle of the lantern gauze was heard, and the lantern was extinguished in response, and it was suddenly dark in front of the door.
In the courtyard of the martial arts, the hanging lanterns were also extinguished from time to time, and a servant came out to relieve his hands and happened to see it, chanting: "Today's wind is so weird!" With a cold shudder, he hurriedly ran back to the room, for fear that some demons and monsters had arrived.
The backyard of the samurai compound. There are more than a dozen "dead wind" lanterns hanging high in front of several large tiled houses, and the small courtyard shining brightly is magnificent, and suddenly a gust of wind blows, and the yarn lamps are slowly extinguished, and there are a few more black shadows in the courtyard. The night is thick, and the black shadow and the night seem to merge into one, and if you don't look closely, you can't see a few black shadow outlines at all.
Several figures came together, made a few gestures to each other, and tiptoed towards the tallest tiled house in the middle. Seeing that he was close to the tiled house, he suddenly heard a gong, and dozens of large lanterns suddenly rose in the courtyard, and more than 100 figures appeared at the courtyard gate, fence, and roof, holding all kinds of weapons in his hands, and looking at the black-clothed people in the courtyard with cold faces.
The sudden change surprised everyone in black. Immediately calmed down, and the black-clothed man who looked the thinnest among them sneered: "Wujiazhuang has some ability!" ”
"Are you from Zhujiazhuang?" The door of the bedroom opened, and several big men walked out of the room with a young man in purple in their arms. The place where the question was asked was the young man in purple.
The thin man in black looked the purple-robed man up and down a few times, and chattered with a strange laugh: "You are Wuda?" ”
The man in purple is naturally Wu Zhi, and he saw that something was wrong with the merchants, although his eyes were no different from ordinary merchants, but the calloused hands were clearly not what a businessman should have, if this is excusable, after all, maybe people used to be farmers, and they had just been a businessman, so they naturally had calluses on their hands. However, the goods carried by the merchant were very silky, and they should not be sold in a gathering place like Wujiazhuang. Naturally, the average person does not pay attention to these details. Even if you see it, you won't think about it. Wu Zhi is a person from later generations, and there are many such episodes on TV. Suspicions arose right now.
However, Wu Zhi did not alarm those merchants, Wujiazhuang for the convenience of the merchants, specially built a few houses for them to live in, Wu Zhi only sent people to monitor from afar, but summoned people to deploy in the martial compound, Zhu Wu also proposed that the four gates should also send additional manpower, Wu Zhi thought that it was, he thought that the other party was "decapitation action," maybe tonight Zhujiazhuang will attack in a big way, in the afternoon received a letter from the Zhending Mansion Jiang Zhifu, saying that Zhu Chao was invited to move many gentry to intercede, Jiang Zhi County to the real mansion not long ago, can not offend everyone light, Only put Zhu Biao back for the time being, and also reminded Wu Zhi to be more careful. I can't say that these merchants are the internal response sent by Zhujiazhuang to break the door. After thinking about it, according to Zhu Wu's words, he sent more people in Simen.
At this time, several black-clothed people were firmly trapped, but they didn't see the slightest panic, Wu Zhi couldn't help but wonder, what else could these people rely on?
"Take it!" Wu Zhi waved his hand, and then asked when he became a prisoner, what are you talking nonsense with them at this time?
Shi Xiu, Mu Hong grabbed it first, Zhang Shun followed, there were four people in black, and three people also jumped out at this time, except for the thin man, the other three and Shi Xiu were all one-on-one.
Wu Zhi was stunned for a while, several black-clothed people had some skills under their hands, and they were on a par with Shi Xiu and the others, although they had a slight disadvantage, Shi Xiu and the others couldn't pick it up for a while.
Wu Zhi immediately concluded that these people were definitely not from Zhujiazhuang, and then remembered the gun teacher who had never heard of before, although that guy was shot through the heart by Hu Sanmei, but his martial arts were surprisingly good, and now Wu Zhi still sighed when he thought about it, even if Lin Chong, he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat him in a few hundred times. How could this kind of character suddenly run to Zhujiazhuang, it seems that someone wants to reach out to Sanzhuang affairs? Wu Zhi sneered slightly.
Wu Zhi was surprised, but the thin man was shocked, the thin man was called Yun Zongwu, and Wu Su, Wu Cheng, and Shi Ding were the three people who fought over there were Tian Hu's four capable generals, although their reputation was not obvious, but they were really Tian Hu's most powerful arm help, specializing in assassination, and internal response. The four of them have high skills and are good at disguise, I don't know how many powerful opponents they helped Tian Hu remove, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Tian Hu is the sharpest weapon.
Originally, to deal with a small local tyrant, there was no need for four people to come out together, but I heard that this Wuda has a strange sword, sharpening iron like clay, and it is rumored that there is a head of Wujiazhuang who is also very powerful, it is Tian Hu who sent four people to come, and ordered the four people to pick off the head of Wuda and bring back the sword, and the four of them responded to the order, but they were not convinced in their hearts.
When he saw Wu Zhi in the daytime, Yun Zongwu hesitated for a long time, and finally did not make a move, the weapons of the four people were hidden in the gap between the burdens, and the burdens were specially built, hollowed out in the middle, and the instruments could be placed. It is so exquisitely done that outsiders can't see it at all, and because of the exquisiteness of it, it is necessary to unscrew the iron hoops on both sides of the burden to take the weapon, which is quite laborious, and taking the weapon on the spot is bound to alarm the guards behind Wu Zhi. Looking at the village soldiers who patrol from time to time in Zhuangzi, if they miss a blow and they are exposed, this plan is a failure, and after careful consideration, they did not do it, so it is better to sneak attack at night according to the original plan. With the ability of the four people, God took his life without knowing it.
Although he was taken aback when he saw that Wu Zhi had already taken precautions, Yun Zongwu didn't care too much, with the ability of the four people, dealing with dozens of tenant farmers and villagers was not like chopping melons and vegetables? Even if they can't kill the owner of the martial family, the four of them are the best at flying eaves and walking on the wall, drilling holes and stealing holes, and it is no problem to retreat in the middle of the night.
In this fight, I suddenly found that they were three good players, and the three brothers on my side not only couldn't win. On the contrary, it gradually fell behind, and Yun Zongwu was taken aback, where did the little martial artist come from to be a good man?
Eyes rolled. I already knew that today was not good, so I didn't hesitate anymore, and suddenly I jumped over and threw myself at Wu Zhi, capturing the thief and capturing the king, as long as I subdued the leader of the other party, I could get out of trouble.
Yun Zongwu's body moved, and the guards who had been keeping a firm eye on him rushed up, swords fell, and the iron rod in Yun Zongwu's hand was opened. Don't look at him, he's short, thin. The arm strength is large, and the thick subway stick is buzzing. It looks like a monkey playing with a golden hoop stick. Although he played a good stick with a stick, these guards were not vegetarians, they were all selected good players in the forbidden army, and Yun Zongwu was firmly forced by the crowd, Yun Zongwu was greatly surprised, where is this the skill that the village soldiers should have? It is not inferior to the elite heroes under the Tianhu team.
Yun Zongwu rushed up a few steps, the iron rod teased a few guards, but was forced back by the guards, at this time he was like a boat going upstream, after trying to move forward a few steps, a little slack, and was immediately rushed back to a distance farther than the starting point, the pressure became more and more great, Yun Zongwu was forced to retreat again and again, struggling to resist the opponent's weapons, and sighed in his heart, today is planted. As soon as the thought passed, there was an exclamation from there, it was Wu Su who was fighting with Shi Xiu when he dodged the guard's sword and was cut down by Shi Xiu's simple knife, and then Wu Cheng and Shi Ding were also knocked to the ground and tied up tightly.
Yun Zongwu was furious, and the iron rod took out several sticks, forcing the guards in front of him away one by one, and shouted angrily at Wu Zhi: "Why don't you abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes? "Even if you are besieged, it is a heads-up game over there, how can there be village soldiers to help?
Wu Zhi was stunned at first, and then laughed: "My rule is that there are more people and fewer people are bullied!" ”
With Wu Zhi's voice, Shi Xiu, Mu Hong, and Zhang Shun pounced, and the Pu knife, iron rod, and short knife all greeted Yun Zongwu, Yun Zongwu resisted Shuhe, and was finally slashed in the leg by Shi Xiu, turned over and fell to the ground, and the guards next to him quickly hugged and tied up.
Wu Zhi smiled slightly, turned his head to Zhu Wu and said, "A few people will be handed over to Mr." ”
Ping Wu nodded slightly, and with an order, the guards picked up the eight fangs and walked out behind Zhu Wu.
Wu Zhi returned to the bedroom, lit a pillar of sandalwood, and silently waited for Zhu Wu's return, half a pillar of incense, and when he was half-a pillar of incense, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he stopped in front of the door, "Lord Wang, I can already ask." It was Zhu Wudi's voice.
Wu Zhi smiled, opened the door and walked out, "Who are they?" ”
Zhu Wudao: "Tian Hu's subordinates, now Tian Hu and the Zhu family are very close. ”
Wu Zhi said "oh", Tian Hu? Although he was also on his bubble list, he didn't plan to move him now, but this guy was forced to break into his own knife.
"Also, a few miles outside the village, Zhujiazhuang has already ambushed a large group of people, it is said that Zhu Biao led the team, just wait for a few people to open the door of the village, and kill the village to loot."
Wu Zhi said: "I must be pretending to be a Liao person." ”
Zhu Wu nodded.
Sanzhuang put a large number of outposts in the north, the Liao people came from the north, and they couldn't escape the sentinel line, but the people of Zhujiazhuang came from the south, and naturally they were not discovered.
Wu Zhi thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, he will follow his wishes, open the south gate and let Zhu Biao enter Zhuangzi!" ”
Zhu Wu nodded slightly, and said, "How to deal with the four of Yun Zongwu?" ”
Wu Zhi said: "The soft bones may still be useful, just cook the other three." ”
Zhu Wu nodded slightly, the soft bone was Wu Cheng, seeing Wu Cheng's eyes flickering during the torture, Zhu Wu naturally focused on him, so that he could see clearly the tragic situation of the three accomplices being tortured, Wu Cheng couldn't stand the fright, and explained the reasons one by one without waiting for the punishment.
At the south gate of Wujiazhuang, there were suddenly a few screams, and then the south gate slowly opened. A gauze lamp at the head of the city was suddenly extinguished, and the extinguished gauze lamp seemed to light the horn of the attack, and in a burst of shouts and killings, countless soldiers suddenly poured out of a green gauze tent outside the south gate, dozens of horses in front, and hundreds of big men behind them. Like the wind swept into the Wujiazhuang, at the same time as the flow of people into the village, four black shadows jumped out of the village, and the infantry gave way to the black shadows one after another, and the two sides obviously had a tacit understanding.
"The owner of the Wujiazhuang has been killed, and those who resist will be killed!" The man who rushed to the front was dressed as a Liao heavy horseman. There was also a thick armor on his face, so he couldn't see his face clearly, and after shouting in Khitan language, the people behind him shouted in Chinese in unison.
After the shout, the cavalry had already rushed into Zhuangzi very quickly, and the infantry behind followed closely behind, pouring into Wujiazhuang like a tide, and after walking more than 100 steps, the generals who rushed to the front suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why can't you hear someone screaming? There was not a single sound in the whole Zhuangzi.
Tightening the reins, the horse neighed and slowed down. The dozens of riders beside him also stopped, at this moment, the few Wujiazhuang guests who were originally cut down to the ground by the man in black and lying in the corner of the door suddenly got up, and suddenly pulled up the huge rope on the door, and the black door slowly closed, "bang", the door was tightly closed, the fallen wood was put down, and everyone in Zhujiazhuang was in an uproar. The leader of the heavy armor was even more stunned. Suddenly shouted: "I've been tricked!" Rush out of here! ”
When several villagers closed the door, Bule at the end of Zhujiazhuang had already rushed over to stop them. Who knew that there was a rain of arrows at the head of the city, and more than a dozen infantry who rushed to the front were shot like hedgehogs and fell to the ground on the spot.
The leader of the heavy armor shouted, and wanted to lead the cavalry of his team to rush over, but on the roofs of the houses on both sides, there was a soft sound of crossbow arrows, and then countless crossbow arrows fell from the sky, and the leader of the heavy armor and dozens of cavalry under his command were shot to the ground with their horses, and the land was suddenly stained red with blood.
"Zhu Biao is dead, the rest quickly put down their weapons, otherwise they will be killed on the spot!" More than 100 heavily armored warriors poured out at the intersection, and before the samurai, there was a blue-robed scribe, it was Zhu Wu, who ordered the Zhujiazhuang infantry to surrender.
"Kill him!" There was a fierce weapon to rush towards Zhu Wu, this time the crossbow arrow did not sound, Zhu Wu behind the heavy armor spears stood in a forest, slowly greeted up, the black paint exuded cold armor soldiers, the super long heavy spear suddenly turned to the level, more than a hundred branches of cold spear tips aimed at those who pounced on the Zhuang Ke, no need to do any action, just step by step, neat armor footsteps, the heavy spear team slowly forward, those fierce Zhuang Ke wilted at once, stupidly retreated, did the flesh and blood to collide with the tip of the heavy spear of others? Seeking death is not like this.
Zhujiazhuang Zhuangke, you look at me, I look at you, the situation in front of me is obvious, I and others were dumplings by Wujiazhuang, if they are desperate, they may be able to kill out, after all, the defense of the south gate is not strict, and it is impossible to stop hundreds of people from rushing to kill by archers, but most of their lives must be lost here, who dares to say that they are the lucky ones who can escape? What's more, Zhu Biao is dead, how much fighting spirit does everyone have? Of course, there are fierce eyes flickering, and the footsteps slowly move to the south, at this moment, the two ends of the south gate suddenly sounded the footsteps that made the Zhuang guests frightened, the unique footsteps of the heavy armor soldiers as if metal impacted, with the footsteps, a gun team appeared at the south gate, slowly gathered in front of the door. ,
At this time, the villagers did not hesitate, "dang long", someone took the lead in throwing the weapon on the ground, so as if infected, the sound of the weapon landing was endless, and the weapon was thrown all over the ground in a short time.
Zhu Wu smiled slightly: "The one who puts down his weapon stands to the left!" Squat down with your head in your hands! "This idea was given by your king, and Zhu Wu pondered it, it was really a good way to deal with the captives.
Although Zhujiazhuang Zhuangke is reluctant, he can only do it, after all, the ironclad spear team is too deterrent, and his armor is like cloth in front of others, if he is not honest and obedient, he can not stand up to the spear of the head of the house and poke a few times casually.
"Take off the coat!" Zhu Wu gave the second order.
Zhujiazhuang Zhuangke was in an uproar, they all shouted, did not shout a few times, the three teams of gunmen slowly pressed up, walked a few steps, there were already people busy removing armor and clothing, some people took the lead, and immediately servants were like a tide, after a while, except for some fierce Zhuangke, most of the Zhuangke only had a pair of underwear.
Zhu Wu waved his hand, and dozens of sturdy men flashed next to him, all of them were palace guards, who went up to collect weapons and armor, and those fierce ones were often knocked to the ground with a punch, and then their clothes were stripped off.
Wu Zhi stood on the roof in the distance, looking at the field, he couldn't help laughing, but Lin Chong next to him sighed, Lin Chong has been following Wu Zhi in the first battle tonight, and he has no chance to make a move, how can he not sigh? After all, Shi Xiu and the others had a fierce fight with the assassins under Tian Hu, but at that time, Lin Chong was ordered to inspect the four gates, and from beginning to end, Lin Chong did not catch up with a fight.
Wu Zhi looked at Lin Chong, who was hanging his head next to him, and said with a smile: "What are you sighing for?" Just go kill with me in a while! ”
