Chapter 51: A Raccoon Dog
The autumn night breeze blows from Taihu Lake, blowing the reeds and swaying.
On the official road along the lake, I don't know when a long fire appeared, and the dancing flames rose and fell, looking like a wild dragon going out to sea, unstoppable!
Wu Bing, who was on top of the horse headed by "Hu ......", suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, waved his big hand and ordered: "Lu Jiaotou, you divide three hundred soldiers and horses, enter the mountains and forests from here, and go around to the rear of Zhongjia Village, but if you see a person, regardless of men, women, old and young, kill me on the spot!" If anyone dares to spare a person, he will be punished with the same crime as the traitor, you know! β
"Don't worry, the county lord, his subordinates will never let you down!" Lu Jiaotou hugged his fist at Wu Bing, and then ordered the three masters to follow him around Gu Zhu Mountain.
These husbands are all military attachΓ©s of Daning Jiupin, and the head of the sect is an external staff who is not even a small official, and the helper is of the same nature, Wu Bing asked the official to listen to the order of a helper, which made many county soldiers unhappy, but who made the family the nephew of the county master, and the capital went to Sudong to observe and study, what else could they do besides listening to the order?
After the division of troops, Wu Bing led the remaining 300 men to continue to advance.
Speaking of which, a county with thousands of troops is actually only the upper limit, not to mention Daning, there has never been a full recruitment there since ancient times, Cao Cao also claims to have a million male divisions, but the result is probably not half of them.
However, Wu Bing and the county soldiers all reported that they were full, and the two of them shared three or four hundred head rations.
However, for the sake of his own future, Wu Bing could only kick away Dutong and eat this credit alone, so as early as five days ago, he proposed to let Dutong go to Sudong to take a walk, and it happened that he also had a close friend there, maybe he could also lead troops to reinforce Sudong and earn military merits, which made Dutong overjoyed, and gratefully gave Wu Bing a bear hug, and rode to Sudong on horseback that day.
So, Wu Bing's plan began!
"Woo ......" Wu Bing didn't go far on his horse and pulled the reins of his horse, looked at a county soldier rushing in front of him, and asked, "How is the situation ahead?" β
"It's not good!" As soon as the county soldier opened his mouth, Wu Bing was surprised, but he smiled proudly in his heart, because the spies he sent out were all henchmen arranged by him, and what he wanted was to lie about how strong the enemy was, so that he could write a letter to ask for merit afterwards.
"Could it be that the traitors in Zhongjia Village have gathered hundreds of people and horses?" Wu Bing pretended to be shocked.
The county soldier swallowed his saliva, shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know." β
"Huh?" Wu Bingzhen was stunned, thinking that you kid didn't follow my instructions, and you were too bold.
"When the villain sneaked into Zhongjia Village a mile away, he saw the fire flashing in the village, and it seemed to have been burned by the fire, and when the villain secretly approached Baizhang, what he saw made the villain almost scared!"
The county soldier looked panicked when he said this, and Wu Bing frowned, and said angrily: "What are you panicking about, tell me the truth." β
The county soldier was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Dead man, the villain found a dead man lying on the ground at the entrance of Zhongjia Village!" β
"What!"
Everyone was shocked, and those henchmen who knew a little bit of the inside story immediately looked at Wu Bing, hoping to get his explanation.
Where did Wu Bing know, he was stunned for a long time before he said, "You mean, all the traitors in Zhongjia Village are dead?" β
"Yes! Oh...... No, no! As soon as the county soldier said this, Wu Bing said angrily: "Yes or no, if you don't understand it again, I want your head!" β
"It's dead, can't all the corpses everywhere be dead, and besides, the villain also saw a pile of corpses piled up, and on it, there was a big living person sitting, he, he, he seemed to be still drinking...... Drink too! β
After listening to the report of the county soldiers, Wu Bing and the others were collectively stupid, what is this situation called?
"It's ridiculous!" Wu Bing snorted coldly and said loudly: "Even if it is really as the spy said, everyone does not need to be afraid, no matter what the situation in Zhongjia Village is, this official will definitely find out, kill it when it encounters a traitor, and destroy it when he sees the gods and ghosts!" β
Wu Bing said at the end, pulled out his sword, raised it high above his head and shouted: "Rush! β
The county soldiers shouted with the sonar, and the footsteps of the chaotic times sounded on the ground, and the sound was deafening.
However, when this large group of people rushed to the outside of Zhongjia Village, it was difficult to take a step!
The remnants of the flames floated from the collapsed and burned village houses, carrying black smoke through the forest and into the mountains.
On the scorched earth, corpses fell scattered at the entrance of the village, knives, axes, wooden sticks, and flat oars were scattered all over the place, a mess.
But what is even more shocking is the center of the four bonfires at the entrance of the village, under the illumination of the fire, layers of dead corpses are piled up to form a mountain of corpses!
If this mountain of corpses hadn't used the flesh and blood of hundreds of people, how could it be piled up like this?
But the strangest thing is not these at all, but on the top of the mountain of corpses, a man sits on a corpse, holding a wine jar in his hand and drinking wildly.
This strange man was dressed in black, and his cold and handsome face was bright and uncertain under the oblique light of the fire, making it difficult for people to see his true face.
Under such a strange scene, many county soldiers felt a chill in their hearts and trembled uneasily.
Wu Bing was stunned for a long time before he suddenly woke up, he quickly jumped off the horse, looked at the man on the corpse pile, and then walked quickly to the nearest lying corpse, picked up the corpse with his toes, looked at it for a moment, and found that it was really a dead man!
Wu Bing was still incredulous, and continued to check in front of another corpse, but it was still dead!
Wu Bing didn't give up and continued to check one by one, but everything he encountered was death! Die! Die!
It wasn't until the ninth that Wu Bing gave up, he stared at the man on the stone pile with an ugly face, and said coldly: "Where are you a demon?" How dare you kill so many people! β
"Eh, sir, how can you say that about me?" The man who was still as mysterious as a demon before, as soon as he said this, he seemed to suddenly fall from the clouds, and the fierce eagle turned into a quail.
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about, I don't know you. Wu Bing said in astonishment.
"That's not right! That's not how the play works. The man was surprised and asked: "Master, what you said is chilling, obviously you said that you are worried that the villagers are too few strong men, even if they are framed for rebellion, it is not enough to make up the momentum, so use more ruffians to make up the number, so that the villain will first take the ruffians and Zhongjia Village to fight and lose, after I clean up the mess, you will come and pick up the ready-made, why, now it seems that you are going to change the hexagram?" β
When the man said this, he threw the wine jar casually, stepped down step by step on the corpses piled up into a ladder, and said coldly at Wu Binghan: "Could it be that the master has also counted the villain in!" β
As soon as the man came, he was clearly illuminated by the bonfires on both sides, which surprised all the county officers who were always paying attention to him.
"Ghost Scar!"
"The county ruffian's ghost scar! How could it be you? β
"What the hell is going on?"
The county officers are looking at me, I am looking at you, but none of them are not confused.
Don't talk about them, even Wu Bing is stupid, he knows the ghost scar, but he has never had contact with this person, how did he become his person?
"You, you...... You are talking nonsense, how can the order of this official and a county dance with a ruffian like you, let alone frame the people of this county, it is obviously Zhongjia Village dancing with a cult, right...... You are the person of the cult, who wants to frame the official in an unkind and unrighteous situation, come on, kill this demon who is deceiving the people on the spot! β
Wu Bing regained his composure at the critical moment, and immediately refuted Ghost Scar's words, and even wanted to strangle him immediately.
Ghost Scar smiled, a pair of fox eyes glanced at more than a dozen nervously approaching county soldiers, he raised his hand and patted it gently, applause rang out for a moment, and suddenly three people appeared from behind the corpse pile, these three people, two hands in front and two hands grasping the stretcher, and the middle one was spread on the stretcher.
When everyone saw them come out, they were even more puzzled, but with Ghost Scar's words, they were even more surprised.
"Master, I'll keep a hand for the loss!" Ghost Scar sneered, pointed at the person on the stretcher and said with a smile: "You don't know this person, many people present may have heard of it, that's right, he is Jin Song, who has recently been very close to the master, Mr. Jin Da!" β
Speaking of this, the person on the stretcher happened to be seen by everyone, and many people were surprised and frightened for a while!
"You asked me to get rid of him afterwards, but I didn't know that I had a mind after hearing your words!" Ghost Scar paced two steps, reached out and patted Jin Song's head on the stretcher, and said with a smile: "After all, he is your pawn, and I am also your pawn, I don't want to be stabbed in the back in a daze!" However, I still respect you, although I did not kill him, but I cut out his tongue, and he will never be able to tell you about it again! β
Ghost Scar said this, waved his hand to let Jin Song take away, and then looked at the county soldiers and officers who heard these words with a look of horror and confusion, and then looked at Wu Bing, who was already sweating like rain, panicked.
"You, you, you're talking nonsense!" Wu Bing roared, and roared at the county soldiers who were still stunned: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry, kill this demon for me!" β
"It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, sir!" Ghost Scar's face suddenly became hideous, and he stared at Wu Bingdao coldly: "Have you forgotten that even if Jin Song has no tongue, he still has a hand, aren't you afraid that he will write a statement announcing your many evil deeds!" β
"Kill him!" Wu Bing's hoarse roar resounded through the four fields.
"Yes, yes, kill him!" The county Cheng also roared, because he was Wu Bing's confidant, and he had already learned of Wu Bing's plan, and he once thought that as long as Wu Bing was promoted and left the Great Wall County, who else would sit in his seat besides himself?
However, if all this is not done by killing Ghost Scar, both he and Wu Bing will be finished!
"Don't move anyone!"
Suddenly, the three husbands strode out, stopped the county soldiers who were about to shoot, and then looked at Wu Bingdao: "County master, we can only catch this person alive!" β
Although the three of them don't know the details, they don't want to be used as guns in vain, and they will also be implicated after the matter is revealed.
"What do you mean?" Wu Bing glared at the trio.
"Master, you are angry!" The county reminded him, then looked at the three husbands with a smile, and said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this, do you think you can still break away from the relationship?" Forget who gave you all these good days? But even if you forget, will you forget that account? β
As soon as they heard the words of the county officer, the faces of the three of them turned white.
The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, without them, how can the people above be able to eat the food and military materials of three or four hundred people?
And the people above have eaten meat, why should they give some bones for the people below to gnaw!
So, no one is clean!
"Now you all figured it out, we are all on the same boat, and if the boat capsizes, it will be a disaster for everyone, but if you can go ashore, everyone will be blessed!" The three of them were ashamed when they said something.
This proves that Wu Bing really framed Zhongjiacun to become a thief, and then exterminated, which is completely different from embezzling food and military supplies!
The three of them looked at each other for a while, and finally lowered their heads!
