Chapter 378: Repeating the Old Trick
As a result, there was a night of scuffle, and at this moment Merlin was full of fireworks.
Outside of Merlin, Cao Luorong looked at Sun Tangyi's corpse with an iron face, and was desperate for Zhong Xiaoshi and the others!
Suddenly, Cao Luorong sneered, glanced at Zhong Xiaoshi and the others, and said coldly: "Fifty people beat hundreds of people, but they were injured and not one died, but they killed more than 200 people, and even all of them died in your hands, do you think you are invincible in the world?" Give you a long face? ”
"That's it!" These words, the hot-blooded faction led by Zhong Xiaoyi only dared to murmur in their hearts!
And the calm faction led by Zhong Xiaoshi said secretly: "It's over, it's over to discredit the sect leader!" ”
They are under the banner of Yiyuan, naturally they represent Yiyuan, killing robbers is meritorious, but what is killing county soldiers? And even the county soldiers have been slaughtered, this is a rebellion!
"Cao Niangzi is resourceful, please think of a way to get through this hurdle in front of you, as long as you don't implicate Yanjiao, it's not a pity for me to die!" Zhong Xiaoshi pleaded.
Cao Luorong rubbed her forehead and said angrily: "No way." ”
Last time, they were thieves, and a few of them were wanted by the government, so after they spread the false news, everyone believed it to be true.
But this time, all the soldiers who died were county soldiers, as well as the capital commanders, how do you pass it on? Say you're a thief? Isn't that self-defeating!
Cao Luorong is really speechless about these people now, since they are so powerful, why didn't they run away in the first place? Out of Merlin, two or three miles away is the mountain forest, as long as they get inside, they are safe, and they do not have to bear any charges.
But in order to be happy for a while, they killed so many county soldiers and a capital commander, which sounds very powerful, but in fact, if they are named "thieves", then both the government and the common people will spit on them!
Because such a group of people has no thieves at all, he is not like a kidnapper, he may release people after getting the ransom, and he is not like a tiger wolf, because these beasts eat people just to survive, and Zhong Xiaoshi them, in the words of Dong Ce's later generations, are killing machines!
A group of fanatics who have no love at all and kill people when they see them!
From the moment they killed Merlin and ran away from the county soldiers, they were destined to make everyone fearful, so as to reject, the people will not care what persecution you are subjected to, they will only kill as a last resort, they will only think, you must not go out of the city these days, otherwise you don't know how to die!
In this way, there will inevitably be a big panic in the surrounding prefectures and counties, I don't know how many Xiaoxiao who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic jump out and harm people, and in the end they will be blamed on their heads, so in order to calm down the people's grievances, Zhong Xiaoshi and others will have no choice in addition to death?
And not only them, but also the art garden, and the Yanjiao will suffer!
The moment the news reached the capital, Dong Ce would inevitably be captured, and he would be beheaded on the charge of being the leader of the anti-thieves!
is so reckless, can Cao Luorong not be speechless?
"Who?" Suddenly, Zhong Xiaozhan, who was directing the packing up and evacuation, let out a loud shout, and immediately rushed to a bush with several guards, and then grabbed two men.
"Big brother, these two people hid in the grass by the ditch at some point, and it is very likely that they witnessed the situation of us killing the county soldiers, how should the eldest brother deal with it?" Zhong Xiaozhan escorted the two men over.
"Kill it." Zhong Xiaoyi said lukewarmly.
As soon as he heard that the other party was going to kill and kill his mouth, two of the two men were immediately frightened and prostrate on the ground, and pleaded again and again: "A good man spares his life, I am just a flat-headed common man, and I am weak when I approach the yamen on weekdays, how dare I ask for trouble!" ”
But the other man with a hooked nose seemed relatively calm, and after arching his hand to Zhong Xiaoshi and the others, he said: "All the heroes, please listen to me, don't dare to deceive, your words have indeed been heard in the ditch below, and I know that you heroes are also forced to do so!" ”
"Then we can't spare his life!" Zhong Xiaoling said coldly.
"What do you know besides killing people!" Zhong Xiaoshi drank Zhong Xiaoling's words, and then didn't forget to glare at Zhong Xiaoyi, and finally looked at the hook-nosed man and said, "Why are you hiding in the ditch grass?" Don't say it's early spring ploughing! ”
"No, no, I was awakened by the smoke, worried that Merlin would catch fire, so I rushed here, but after seeing someone fighting to the east of Merlin, I was so frightened that I could only hide in the ditch!" After explaining, Hooknose sighed, and continued: "Actually, we felt very happy after seeing you kill this dog thief! ”
"Oh! Why is that? Cao Luorong squinted her eyes and looked at the hooked nose.
Eagle hook nose glanced at Cao Luorong, shook his head and sighed: "Gongzi doesn't know, this person's name is Sun Tangyi, but he is the county soldier commander who came here three years ago, at that time we were still serving in the county barracks, we are all looking forward to the arrival of the new capital, hoping that he can reorganize the county soldiers and exterminate the robbers who are the party to the disaster, however, after looking at his heavy performance, it is not to revive the morale of the county soldiers at all, but to constantly weaken, not only to deduct military salaries, never train county soldiers, but also lead soldiers out to suppress bandits, How can untrained county soldiers come in handy? The result was naturally that many people were killed and injured every time, but this Sun Tangyi lied about his achievements, and in order to cover up his false military exploits, he actually burned a mountain forest, saying that the robbers were burned to ashes, however, within two months, hundreds of bandits ransacked fourteen villages in a row! But what is even more infuriating is that the government actually said that all the people in these villages died of smallpox! ”
Zhong Xiaoshi and the others were also extremely angry after hearing this, and Zhong Xiaoling even stomped on Sun Tangyi's corpse.
Cao Luorong narrowed her phoenix eyes into a line, and after glancing at the hooked nose, she looked at the two beards, and found that although this person was frightened, there was indeed a hatred in the eyes of the dead Sun Tangyi, so she nodded and smiled, looked back at the hooked nose, and asked: "In this way, the bandits are still being exterminated!" ”
Hooknose was stunned, then nodded, "Indeed! ”
Cao Luorong suddenly turned her head, looked at Zhong Xiaoshi and said, "Zhong family man, you have something to do!" ”
Zhong Xiaoshi was suspicious, and he didn't understand what Cao Niangzi meant?
However, half a day later, he was really depressed!
However, I have to say that Cao Niangzi's strategy is still very wise! It's a bit impossible, but it's not that hard for them!
From the introduction of the hook nose, Zhong Xiaoshi and others learned that there is a group of cottages where they are not far here, twenty miles northwest of Meilin, don't look at the county seat, but the terrain there is a little complicated, not only the mountains are hidden, but also the river divides the north and south, if the bandits are enemies, they can still escape by waterway, as long as they flee away, they will change their identities to be the people, and when the limelight passes, they will come back and continue to occupy the mountain as the king, don't say that Sun Tangyi has no intention of suppressing the bandits, even if there is, it may not be able to exterminate it!
But for Zhong Xiaoshi, they are different! Otherwise, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the banner of the art garden could not be seen clearly, as for whether they were recognized by the county soldiers, there was no need to worry, although the sky was bright at that time, but they were like the evil ghosts who came out of the blood and water, who still had the leisure to see their true faces!
Therefore, Cao Luorong gave them a note, that is, to repeat the old trick, let the hook nose find someone to spread rumors, and then they left traces from time to time along the way, so that people could follow them, and finally lead them to the thief's den! (To be continued.) )
