Hu Guiyang openly claimed that he had killed Wen Bu in the swamp, so that everyone could inquire at will.

Many people really inquired, and even if they didn't inquire, many rumors would be sent automatically, so on the way back to the village, the big hammer had already learned the general situation: in a nearby mountain village, Hu Guiyang not only killed Wen Bujing, but also several other Wen children, and afterwards, the villagers burned the corpses with a fire.

Other rumors are more exaggerated, some people say that Wenjiazhuang attacked the mountain village on a large scale and was repelled by Hu Guiyang and the villagers, and some people say that the real killer is actually Gao Hanying, who is invincible with a chain gun and kills the children of the Wen family to the ground.

The sledgehammer sent people to inquire carefully, and finally confirmed a few things: first, Wenjiazhuang did not attack on a large scale, only a few people went, and it seemed that they were testing some kind of new weapon; Second, there are many suspicious points of unheard of death, and it may not be Hu Guiyang's shot.

In short, the Wen family is still a master.

That's enough.

Big Hammer and Yang Jiuwen received Shen Qianyuan and Mo Ai, with a cordial attitude, expressing remorse vigorously, and even more grateful for Hu Guiyang's timely appearance, willing to provide all help.

Shen and Mo were confused, and after returning to the village, they told Hu Guiyang that although the sledgehammer could not be trusted, it would not cause trouble for a while.

No one expected that just a few days later, the sledgehammer would set off a stormy wave.

The attack on Gaojia Village was carefully arranged.

First of all, someone sent a letter to Gao Hanying's subordinates, claiming that a good business would pass through Yongqing County, thus luring Gao Hanying out of the mountains.

Then, that night, nearly 100 Jianghu people rode into the mountains, blocked all the roads in and out, dismounted and quietly entered the village, slaughtered from house to house, and finally burned the whole village.

Only a few hunters set out to check for traps in the mountains during the day, and did not have time to return to the village that day, but they were spared, including Xiaocao, who was young but strong in martial arts and often participated in hunting.

By the time they returned home, the village was scorched.

Xiaocao and others immediately chased out of the mountain, to avenge the villagers, on the way met Gao Hanying's subordinate Ku Si'er, Ku Si'er had heard the news, and was ordered by the general to come back to check the situation, and got a strict order, if Xiaocao was still alive, be sure to take her to Mojiazhuang to find Hu Guiyang.

Gao Hanying led people to Tiejiazhuang by himself, but there was no news yet.

As for the big hammer, he had no intention of concealing this matter, and after burning the village, he immediately sent people to spread the news everywhere, claiming that Tiejiazhuang had avenged Wenjiazhuang in order to fulfill the friendship of the same people in the rivers and lakes.

Shen Qianyuan had already learned the news, but he had to verify it in many ways, so he waited until Xiaocao and others came to the door before he called Hu Guiyang.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, even Hu Guiyang, who has experienced his brothers killing each other, feels hard to believe.

But this is the truth, Xiaocao is sad and angry, crying so much that he can't speak, Ku Si'er is worried about the safety of the general, so anxious, and several other villagers are stunned, this is the first time they have gone out of the mountain, but they don't notice the difference between inside and outside the mountain at all.

Hu Guiyang's good mood in the past few days was swept away.

He asked the villagers to take the villagers to the backyard to rest first, only Ku Si'er didn't do it, and immediately said goodbye, and wanted to inquire about the situation of General Gao and his gang, Xiaocao also wanted to go, but was persuaded, Gao Hanying's most worried person was this sister, and she would never agree to her coming out to take risks.

Mojiazhuang was in chaos for a while, and in the end, Xiaocao still stayed with the villagers, Ku Si'er left in a hurry, many people accompanied him to inquire about the news, and more people strengthened the protection of the manor.

Everyone understands that the slaughter of the village is just the beginning, and the ambitions of the Sledgehammer gang are by no means limited to this, and the next target is likely to be Mojiazhuang.

Shen Qianyuan kept giving orders, and Mo Ai kept writing letters, and when he completed one, he immediately sent someone to send it out.

Hu Guiyang had nothing to do, sitting on the side and meditating.

The other two were finally busy, and Shen Qianyuan said: "I know that the big hammer is unbearable, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing!" Gaojia Village is just a Gao Hanying, and those villagers are not from the rivers and lakes at all. ”

"The villagers were killed because of us." Hu Guiyang said.

"What?" Shen Qianyuan was slightly displeased.

Hu Guiyang smiled, only he could laugh at such a time, he was used to being out of place, "The big hammer has no grudges with Gaojia Village, the massacre is to curry favor with Wenjiazhuang, to win a big backer, and then to get back face from us." ”

"But we have nothing to do with the death of the villagers." Shen Qianyuan must correct this.

Hu Guiyang stared at Shen Qianyuan for a while, "Then what are we doing here?" Is it pure to see the unevenness of the road and draw a knife to help? ”

Shen Qianyuan's face became even more ugly, and Mo Ai, who was sitting next to him, got up and came over, "Let me say more, Captain Hu, are you planning to quit here, or do you want to continue to stay in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"Sledgehammer does such a thing, of course I won't quit."

"Well, but you can go back to the capital and use the power of the government to make decisions for Gaojia Village."

Hu Guiyang understood what Mo Ai meant, and shook his head: "Gaojia Village is a village of displaced people, never accepts food, and is naturally not protected by the government, I am willing to stay and deal with this matter by means of rivers and lakes, please ask Mo Lao Hero for more advice." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll rely on the old and sell the old, and nag a few words. The sledgehammer is a desperate gamble to slaughter Gaojia Village in order to curry favor with Wenjiazhuang, whether it can succeed is still difficult to say. ”

"Wenjiazhuang is short of helpers......"

Mo Ai raised his hand, indicating that he hadn't finished speaking, Hu Guiyang immediately shut up and listened quietly.

"The rivers and lakes are the most about friendship, but they also talk about morality, and the sledgehammer slaughters the village for no reason, and there is too much moral debt, which is bound to cause public indignation. But if this is a grievance between the rivers and lakes, and Gaojiacun accidentally gets involved in it, then they are unlucky, and the approach of the big hammer is definitely wrong, but it is not a big mistake. ”

Hu Guiyang thought for a while, "The big hammer has a grudge against me, and Gaojia Village supports me, so the big hammer slaughtering village is an ordinary vendetta in the rivers and lakes, and it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong?" ”

"If there are grievances, there is no right or wrong, it depends on who has a deep friendship with whom."

Hu Guiyang smiled again, "I understand, so we must draw a sword to help when the road is uneven, not to avenge Gaojia Village, in order to get the most help from the rivers and lakes." ”

"Correct." Mo Ai returned to the table, picked up a smile, and continued to brew the letter.

Hu Guiyang said to Shen Qianyuan: "I'm sorry, I was a little anxious just now. ”

Shen Qianyuan's demeanor returned to normal, "It's okay, Captain Hu has just entered the rivers and lakes, and the water here is relatively deep, as long as you can understand our difficulties." ”

"Understand, our response is to turn the slaughter village into a public case?"

Shen Qianyuan nodded, "Old Hero Mo and I were originally inviting fellow practitioners from the rivers and lakes to come together, but now we have to step up even more, in the end, whichever side has a great momentum, which side will attract more colleagues." Therefore, please don't go out these days, after all, you are a Jinyi guard, which is easy to attract jealousy, and the grievances between you and the big hammer are not to mention. ”

"Okay, I'm not going out, what can I do?"

Shen Qianyuan glanced at Mo Ai and explained: "The most important thing for Captain Hu to do is to stabilize a few people in Gaojia Village, especially Gao Hanying's sister. ”

"Grass?"

"Yes."

"She's just a child, not a charlatan."

"Gao Hanying is from the rivers and lakes, she knows a lot of people, but she sent her sister to you, there must be a deep meaning."

In Hu Guiyang's impression, Gao Hanying didn't look like a person with "deep meaning", so he arched his hand and said: "Please ask Third Brother Shen to dial." ”

"Gao Hanying went to Tiejiazhuang to seek revenge, if he won the battle, or regardless of victory or defeat, then this matter is much simpler, the slaughter of the village is a grudge between the big hammer and the Gao gang, and no one else can wait to see the excitement, and they can't participate. Mo Lao Hero and I have no relationship with Gao Hanying, and they are considered unrelated, if they really want to intervene, they have to help the big hammer according to their friendship. ”

"What if Gao Hanying is defeated?"

"In that case, her sister becomes important. To tell the truth, Gao Hanying asked her to come to you, but she actually valued Mojiazhuang. ”

Hu Guiyang looked at Mo Ai, who was still writing a letter, and understood the key to the whole thing, this is a play where an orphan girl asks for help and a hero makes a move, the broken claw Qinglong has no relationship with Gao Hanying, but with his identity and status, if he is asked to come to the door, he has to uphold justice.

Of course, Mo Ai had to be willing.

After going around in such a circle, Mojiazhuang is still an enemy of Tiejiazhuang, but the reasons are different, from the ordinary grievances when fighting for Jindan, to the good deeds of righteousness.

The rivers and lakes talk about friendship, but they talk about morality.

Hu Guiyang had not stepped into the hall of officialdom before, and at this time, he couldn't step on the threshold of the rivers and lakes, and said with a smile: "There are two Laos, I am on call in the backyard at any time." ”

"You're welcome, there will definitely be a time when Captain Hu will be needed in the future." Shen Qianyuan gave it away.

Hu Guiyang returned to the backyard and pondered all the way.

The villagers were resettled, He Sanjie invited Xiaocao alone, the two hit it off at first sight, and when Hu Guiyang entered the house, Xiaocao was crying in He Sanjie's arms.

Hu Guiyang was a little surprised, standing at the door and watching.

Third Sister He nodded, Xiaocao straightened up, and asked with teary eyes: "Brother Hu, do you have any news from my sister?" ”

Hu Guiyang is ranked thirty-sixth, and this is the first time he has been called "big brother", and he is a little uncomfortable.

"No news yet." Hu Guiyang looked at Xiaocao, sympathizing with her plight, but also feeling that the matter had come to this point, and all the concealment was meaningless, "But I guess your sister can't come back." ”

Xiaocao cried even louder, and Third Sister He glared at him in surprise.

"Wenjiazhuang has won." Hu Guiyang looked back at Third Sister He, and his tone was even calmer, "One Zhao Aqi, a few golden pills, make the rivers and lakes split, and it will become more and more serious." Don't you feel familiar? ”

The righteous son of the Zhao family was so divided until he turned against him, Hu Guiyang was a witness, and He Sanjie also witnessed it.

"What do you want to do?" Third Sister He asked.

"Again, when I don't go twice, somebody wants me to be here and see what happens, but I have to do something. Please take care of the grass and the villagers, I'm going to go out. ”

Shen Qianyuan and Mo Ai wanted to use the rivers and lakes to counterattack the sledgehammer, and Hu Guiyang had to find another way.
