Qi Changmin saw that the master of the big village was thoughtful, and he already knew it in his heart. "This is a godsend, can the lord of the village know who is the leader of this official army?"

"Who is it? Mr. Wang, I said, listen. The lord of Dazhai looked more and more respectful, looked at Qi Changmin's face and said.

Qi Changmin's expression suddenly became serious, and he came closer and whispered in the ear of the lord of the big village: "It's Tian Yi Tian Dazai's son." ”

After hearing this, the lord of Dazhai was shocked in his heart, this Tian Yi is the most powerful figure now, and if he has a little relationship, it will not soar! But if you think about it carefully, you still can't be gullible, in case it is ...... What can I do.....

"This Tian Gongzi has only recently come to this place, and he is trying to recruit talents to establish a meritorious career, Qi is not talented, and he has just had a relationship with him, this Tian Gongzi is currently short of manpower, and Qi has won his trust with his meager words. Qi boasted in front of Tian Gongzi that the master of the village is a rare general, and I said that the ability of the master of the village is several times higher than that of Qi, just like a sparrow and an eagle, a mayfly and a tree. Therefore, after hearing this, the son sent me here, hoping that the lord of the village could join the son under the tent. Qi Changmin peeked at the look on the face of the master of the village while speaking, and saw that his expression was pleasant, so he said this big thing with a smile.

"Sir's words, I also understand, it is naturally a good thing to be able to enter the account of Tian Gongzi, but how does Mr. know that the person who comes is the son of the Tian family?"

"The master of Dazhai is a thoughtful and thoughtful person, Qi Mou is just afraid that Tian Gongzi will feel that I am exaggerating after seeing the master of Dazhai, and today I see the master of Dazhai like this, Qi's heart will be settled."

When the owner of Dazhai heard this, he felt comfortable in his heart, he was also the lieutenant of Nichuan County, but he was aware of the boss because he was greedy for some silver and made his life, and he was afraid of his harm, so he escaped and formed a gang here. How can you determine that the person who came is the son of Tian Yi, at this moment of hesitation. Qi Changmin saw his expression, guessed that the master of the village must still have doubts, so he took out the jade plate that Shao Xu had just given him in his arms, handed it to him, and said to him: "Qi knows that the master of the village is such a person, and he is unwilling to bend to the nameless man without real evidence, so he asked Tian Gongzi for personal things, one to test his sincerity, and the other to lenient the heart of the owner of the village." This Tian Gongzi did not shirk a word, and gave away this personal thing, which shows that he is a person who is thirsty for talent, and he is still like this for Qi, not to mention a character like the master of Dazhai. ”

The master of the big village took the jade card and looked at it carefully, while listening to Qi Changmin's words, he was also a person of officialdom, and he thought he had some knowledge, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he looked at it. This, this is not an ordinary thing, such workmanship must come from the Gaomen family, when looking at the words on it, see the word "royal gift" in the heart of the heart, this must be the son of the Tian family, except for him I am afraid that few people have this honor. Most of the doubts of the owner of the village have been eliminated, and Qi Changmin, who was on the side, has already noticed the subtle changes, and this is a good time to persuade him, and if he adds a fire, it will be done.

"The lord of Dazhai is also a person who has been in officialdom for a long time, and this reason should be better than Qi Mou according to the reason that the big tree is good for enjoying the shade. What's more, now is the time when Tian Gongzi is employed, if the owner of Dazhai is attached at this time, it is a good opportunity, and when his work is completed in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have such a great opportunity. Qi said so much, not only for himself, but also for the owner of the village and his brothers. ”

There was no doubt on the face of the master of Dazhai, and he put the jade plate in his hand in Qi Changmin's hand, and said to him: "Mr. Qi's intentions, I already know it, there is a gentleman who has paved the way for me, and I have nothing to worry about. ”

"It's so good, Qi will go to see Tian Gongzi with the owner of the village tomorrow, so how to explain it to the brothers in the village."

The lord of the village swept away his worried look, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, don't bother Mr. Qi about these little things, I will order me to go down now, straighten out the people and materials, and return to Tian Gongzi after seeing him tomorrow." ”

"It's still the owner of Dazhai who thinks carefully, and Qi admires and admires. Then I will inform Leader Hu now and ask him to inform Tian Gongzi, so that he can know the sincerity of the master of Dazhai. ”

"Just do what the gentleman says, the gentleman is so tired today, let me go down and rest first. Someone, go and call Ji Liu to come to the tent. After Qi Changmin said goodbye to him, he immediately went out of the account and hurriedly returned to his residence. After a while, Ji Liu entered the tent, and he bowed down and respectfully asked the lord of the village: "Is there anything you want to tell the lord of the village to ask Ji Liu?" The lord of the village coughed twice, and the people in the tent also retreated. He stretched out his right hand and made a gesture to Ji Liu, Ji Liu, who had followed him for many years, was very ghostly, and when he saw this, he immediately leaned forward, and his ears were on the side of the lord of the village. The lord of Dazhai whispered a few words, and Ji Liu nodded yes again and again. After Ji Liu heard this, he wanted to leave, and the big village master's heart sank, and he shouted to Ji Liu: "You must remember, this matter is related to the future of everyone, don't be sloppy." ”

Ji Liu turned sideways and patted his chest to promise that he would not forget what the master of Dazhai had confessed, and after speaking, he went out of the account with confidence.

At this time, Qi Changmin also went to the residence of the Hu leader, the Hu leader's real name is Hu Dingzong, about 30 years old, he was also the deputy of the big village master in Nichuan, and he has been conscientious, and then he was implicated by the big village owner, and he also ran away here with him, for which he has always had a grudge in his heart, hating him for ruining his future and committing himself to being a bandit.

"Leader Hu, today there is an opportunity to return to the right path and stand in the court, are you willing to seize it?"

"Sir refers to the young general today, can such a young age be like this, if you are not careful, you are afraid that your life will not be guaranteed."

Qi Changmin saw that Hu Dingzong was worried, so he took out the jade plate and read it with him, explained Shao Xu's identity to him, explained his plan, provoked the owner of Dazhai and his past, and persuaded him to find a way to make a living for himself as soon as possible. Hu Dingzong's heart couldn't help but churn, the originally good official was now committed to being a mountain bandit for three years, and he had been trembling under the master of this big village all these years.

Hu Dingzong suddenly fell to the ground, supported his fists on the ground, and said to Qi Changmin: "Listening to Mr. today's words, Fang Cai suddenly opened, Hu has followed Mr. with an iron heart today, regardless of life or death, no regrets or complaints." ”

Qi Changmin also knelt down immediately and supported him with both hands, and Hu Dingzong also supported him with his hands when he saw this, and the two helped each other up one after another. Qi Changmin said to him: "Brother Hu, from now on, we will share honor and disgrace, life and death depend on each other, and Qi will definitely live up to your friendship." ”

"Then I will immediately leave for the bottom of the mountain and inform Shao Gongzi to prepare tomorrow morning, and I will also remember what Mr. explained."

Qi Changmin handed over the jade plate to Hu Dingzong and repeatedly instructed him to hand it over to Shao Gongzi. Hu Dingzong went out of the door and went to the stable to lead a fast horse, rode it and left. After he left, Qi Changmin closed the doors and windows by himself, walked to the side of the bed, lay down sideways, and fell asleep. It didn't take long to hear only snoring, and there was a slight sound of footsteps by the doors and windows, and after only a few sounds, there was no sound. At this time, Qi Changmin immediately stopped snoring, he pretended to be without any flaws, and waited on the bed for a while, and when he saw that there was no sound around, he got up and sat down at the table, wrote on the paper, and transcribed several copies in a row.

In the early morning of the next day, Shao Xu came to the bottom of the mountain early, and Zhang Dabow also brought more than a dozen hunters to lie around Chai Ziao. Yang Yingkey took Chinu, Hongsu, Lan Liu and others to hide in the distant woods with the old and weak women and children in the village, and bluffed, each holding a pole or wooden stick in his hand, asking Yang Yingkey to calm everyone down and make them move.

At this time, in the cottage, Qi Changmin leisurely got up and went to the master of the village, chatting with him for nearly an hour, and the two of them had a plan in their hearts, and they tried each other in many ways. Qi Changmin got up from the seat and pointed outside and said: "Lord Dazhai, it's not too early at this time, I'm afraid that Gongzi Tian is already waiting for us at the foot of the mountain, or we should set off earlier, what is Dazhai's idea?" ”

"What the gentleman said is very true, I will immediately ask someone to prepare for it, and we will leave immediately."

Qi Changmin and the lord of the village walked out of the tent together, and a group of people gathered, and the lord of the village selected a team of people, about a hundred people, and went down the mountain with him and Qi Changmin.

At this time, under the mountain, Shao Xu waited a little anxiously, and thought: "Could it be that Mr. Qi's plan has been leaked, or is he simply pretending to surrender......

"Mr. Shao, there is a person who calls himself Hu Dingzong and brought a man named Ji Liu, now Chai Ziao, Brother Zhang asked me to report to you to know, please Mr. instruct us what to do next."

Shao Xu was overjoyed in his heart, the plan had been accomplished, Mr. Qi was really thoughtful, and then he was waiting for Mr. Qi and the big village master. He said to the hunter, "Tell Brother Zhang to obey that man's orders and put that Ji Liu in jail." ”

After hearing this, the Orion did not stop for a moment, but pulled his legs and ran towards the firewood pass.

After about half an hour, a group of people entered Shao Xu's line of sight, and the person standing in the middle of the crowd was Qi Changmin, and the people on the side were calm and relaxed, and everyone was around them, and they must be the masters of this cottage. Shao Xu immediately told Niu Tam to inform everyone to be on guard, and he walked out and walked towards the group. Just when Shao Xu, Qi Changmin, and the owner of the village bowed to each other, suddenly several arrows were shot from the bushes on the side of the mountain, one hit Shao Xu's right arm, and the rest hit the master of the village. In an instant, a group of people made a mess, Niu Tamping also hurriedly led people to rush out to meet Shao Xu, and when the two groups of people saw that they were about to rub out of Mars, they only heard a few people shouting not far away: "Catch Ji Liu and his accomplices." ”

After a while, Hu Dingzong came with Ji Liu, pushed him to the ground in front of the lord of Dazhai and Shao Xu, and then said: "It's this person, plotting against him, I found out earlier today that Ji Liu's behavior was abnormal, seeing that he hurriedly took a group of people with arrows and bows, and also brought some brothers to follow him, just cold arrows were sent at this person, Hu noticed too late, and the general and the master of Dazhai were injured, it was really my fault." ”

Seeing this, Qi Changmin continued Hu Dingzong's words and said: "Don't blame Leader Hu, only blame this ungrateful person, the lord of Dazhai treats you well on weekdays, why do you want to kill him and General Shao."

"This, this, I have no intention of murdering, it is Hu Dingzong who wants to rebel, I am framed, the owner of the village, Mr. Qi is aware of it, I, I ........" Before Ji Liu finished speaking, Hu Dingzong stabbed him to death with a sword.

"What is the use of this person keeping him, Hu cleaned up for the master of the village, and I hope the master of the village will forgive me for the crime of making claims." Hu Dingzong bowed down and said to the master of Dazhai.

The master of the village had just been hit by an arrow not long ago, and he was frightened, so he was helped by someone and slowly got up and replied: "It's because I lost my eyes on weekdays, and I believe in this treacherous villain wrong, no, I don't blame you." "When the master of the village spoke, his breath became weaker and weaker, and his face was pale and bloodless." Quick, quickly send the master of the village back to pull out the arrow to heal the wound. Qi Changmin shouted hurriedly. When the group heard this, they panicked, and the six of them who were more calm lifted the owner of the village and left, and more than 100 people went to the cottage together. Shao Xu pulled out the arrow and bandaged it a little, and then went with Qi Changmin, and the only person who accompanied him was Niu Tan.

After a while, the six people have carried the owner of the village to the cottage, everyone in the village is panicked, and a few people come up to ask if it is the official army who turned their faces ruthlessly and murdered the owner of the village. At this time, Shao Xu, Qi Changmin, Hu Dingzong and others also came to the village, and a group of people surrounded them, led by a few people holding knives, and the rest of the people also slowly approached and contracted the encirclement with those people.

"What do you want to do! Put down the knife in your hand! Hu Dingzong stood in front of the few people who operated the knife, straightened his waist and shouted angrily.

"It's Brother Hu, Brother Hu, is the owner of the village harmed by these people." The leader put down the knife in his hand and asked.

Hu Dingzong asked someone to pull out a corpse, and everyone gathered around to take a look, isn't this Ji Liu, how, how did he die. Hu Dingzong pointed at Ji Liu and said, "You can find this person who plotted to kill the master of Dazhai!" ”

"Ji Liu is the confidant of the master of the village, how could he murder the master of the village." Everyone is discussing word by word, and the first few people will also be skeptical.

At this time, Qi Changmin motioned to Hu Dingzong to go to the master of Dazhai, and said to those people: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the brothers who were present at the time, or search on them, if you don't go to their residence, such people with bad intentions will definitely leave mistakes, if you don't believe Qi, then Qi doesn't have to bother to talk to the brothers." "Just when everyone was stunned, Zhang Dabow led more than a dozen Orions and more than 30 of Hu Dingzong's subordinates to carry about 25 corpses to the village." Brother Hu's expectation was indeed correct, these people were under Ji Liu's subordinates, and everyone had such a piece of paper in their arms, and we couldn't understand what was written on it. ”

Qi Changmin hurriedly stepped forward to take the paper silk, only to see that it was written "Life is the same life, death is the same death, wealth and glory are here to fight." There is also a bloody fingerprint behind this, which is the "death contract", and the success is also the "birth contract", which are the rules of the dead. If the "life contract" is violated, the dead man in the world will kill his employer one after another, and if the dead man violates the "death oath", he will become a terrible ghost forever and kill his family as a sacrifice. Qi Changmin cleared his throat and said: "There is no doubt that these people must be dead soldiers, and now that these are all death deeds, I am afraid that I will not be able to find out anything, and if the matter fails, the dead soldiers will kill themselves." ”

"Dead? Is this season six also a dead man? One of the first few asked.

"No, this season six is the employer, when did this group of dead soldiers come, do you remember?"

"I remember that these people were brought by Ji Liu more than a year ago, and they have always been brought as siblings, I thought they were just his own brothers, but I never thought they were dead."

"Hey" Qi Changmin sighed and said: "This is my negligence, it turns out that this season has been premeditated for a long time, I don't know, my fault, my fault." Qi Changmin couldn't help but be sad, beat his chest with his right fist, and said that he had failed the kindness of the owner of Dazhai in the past two years, and today he actually put the owner of Dazhai in danger of his life. The people who were originally the leader were also immersed in Qi Changmin's emotions, and everyone in the village saw that the leaders were in tears, and they also became sad, and their anger had been worn away.

At this time, someone in the account came to report that the owner of Dazhai had woken up and was summoning the leader of Tuesday and the third leader of Liao to hurry forward. In the tent, the lord of the village was lying weakly, calling "water, water" in his mouth, at this time Hu Dingzong entered the tent, and those people saw that Hu Tou was coming, and they retreated to get water and medicine. The owner of the village couldn't help but look frightened when he saw Hu Dingzong coming in, but then he returned to his normal state and said to Hu Dingzong: "Brother Hu, you are here... Why? Hu Dingzong smiled coldly and said, "Come and see off the master of Dazhai for the last time." After saying that, he took out a bottle of potion, and when the lord of Dazhai saw this, he shouted with all his strength: "Someone, someone... I'm on weekdays... Treat you well, you.... Before he finished speaking, he was choked by Hu Dingzong and forcibly poured the medicine into the bottle, only into his throat for dozens of seconds, and the master of the village was powerless to struggle, and the sound in his mouth was so subtle that he could barely hear it. After a while, five people came in, one of whom was holding a bowl of water in his hand, Hu Dingzong signaled that he was feeding water for the master of the village, only to see that as soon as the water entered his throat, the owner of the village spit out a mouthful of blood, and then struggled for a while before he died of exhaustion. Hu Dingzong restrained the man with one hand, and held a knife on the man's neck with the other, and the rest of the people entered the tent when they heard the sound outside the tent, only to see Hu Dingzong shouting: "This person harms the owner of the village, go and save the owner of the village, quickly!" After hearing this, those people hurriedly ran to the master of Dazhai, and after several rescues, the expression on his face became more and more ugly, and the discerning people knew at a glance that there must be no help. At this time, Hu Dingzong grabbed the man, and suddenly wiped his neck on the knife in his hand, and he immediately lost his breath.

This scene happened to be bumped into by the three leaders of Liao who came in, and then the leaders of Tuesday also entered the account, and the two of them hurriedly rushed to the side of the lord of the village, and the three leaders of Liao grabbed the collar of one of them and asked: "What's going on, what's wrong with the lord of the village, you are talking." The man was already frightened, and after he drank like this, he couldn't speak for a while, and hurriedly shook his hands and feet and squeaked and said, and when a person next to him saw this, he spoke for him: "The master of the village has passed away." The Tuesday leader on the side said angrily: "Who, whoever did this, I will....!" Hu Dingzong walked to the side of the leader of Tuesday, put his hand on his shoulder, bluntly said that he was not well protected, pointed to the man and said: "When I came, I saw this person feeding the master of Dazhai with decoction, I didn't notice it for a while, I saw this person looking panicked, so I stepped forward to ask him, he turned around and walked away, I held him with one hand, and held the knife with the other, but this person suddenly hit me on the knife."

After hearing this, Liao San's grief could not be stopped, he cried for a while, suddenly stopped crying, and asked Hu Dingzong: "Brother Hu, was there still anyone in the house when you came in?" At this time, the leader of Tuesday, who was leaning over the corpse, grabbed the words on the side and said, "Are you suspicious of Brother Hu when you say this?" I also found this from this person's arms, the same paper silk on the dead soldier that Mr. Shicai Qi said, this person should be the same group of dead soldiers as those people. After hearing this, the Liao leader also said: "That must be the remnant of the dead man, blame me for being careless, but the master of the village is also.... Can't come back. "I don't stop grieving. Qi Changmin listened outside the tent for a long time, and he already knew it in his heart, so he entered the account at this time. "Mr. Qi." Hu Dingzong said hello to him, Qi Changmin knew that if he didn't make a move, Hu Dingzong would inevitably seek to vent, so he threw himself on the corpse of the master of Dazhai and cried bitterly.
