Chapter 45: A Pair of Demons

Dong Ce walked out of the yard with his front foot, and Cao Luorong followed out with his back foot, with no look of mistake on his face, but blamed Dong Ce and said: "It's not you, ask a little bit in the east and ask a little bit in the west, and I don't know what you want to ask after asking for a long time." ”

Dong Ce paused, turned to look at Cao Luorong, and said lukewarmly: "Have you inquired about the whole thing clearly?" ”

"Of course, the Changcheng County Commander wants to be promoted and wants to go crazy, and uses Zhongjia Village as a stepping stone! With such dog officials here, it is simply a great misfortune for the people. Cao Luorong said coldly.

Dong Ce smiled bitterly after hearing this, shook his head and turned to leave.

It was not once or twice that Dong Ce was ignored like this, but Cao Luorong was still annoyed as always, rushed to Dong Ce in a few steps, stopped him and said, "What do you mean?" If you don't make it clear today, I won't let you go anywhere!" ”

"Okay, what do you want to know? Just ask. Dong Ce crossed his arms and said.

Cao Luorong was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't think about it for a while, whether to ask about Zhongjiacun first, or Dong Ce's attitude.

"I, I want to know, what do you want to do?" As soon as Cao Luorong finished speaking, she hurriedly added: "This matter in Zhongjia Village is obviously not something you can meddle in, you should immediately go to the Yamen of Wuxing Mansion to report the case and arrest the dog official Wu Bing." ”

"What about the evidence?" Dong Ce asked rhetorically.

"Stupid, Jin Song is a witness!" Cao Luorong scolded, and said: "At this moment, you should escort him to the Yamen of Wuxing Mansion by boat, at that time, Zhongjia Village will naturally be protected by the guards of Wuxing Mansion, but now you are detaining him here, and inciting the villagers to fight hard with Wu County Ling, what are your intentions?" ”

Dong Ce rarely showed a sarcastic face, and sneered: "If Jin Song arrived at Wuxing Mansion and bit back and said that Zhongjia Village was being used by someone and wanted to frame Wu County Order, and learned that he Jin Song was friendly with Wu County Order, so he designed to arrest him, torture him, and force him to come to Wuxing Mansion to wronged Wu County Order, so, who do you want the prefect to listen to?" ”

"I ......" Cao Luorong was anxious after hearing this, because she couldn't refute it, if Jin Song became a witness, his words didn't dare to affect the situation, but his words had a certain weight!

Although the situation in Zhongjia Village was harmed by Jin Song, the villagers believed in him too much before, and when they heard Mr. Jin say that the news of the plague here was spread, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, the government was likely to trap them to death and seal them down.

Moreover, on the contrary, many people can prove that they have become kidnappers, and the plague in the village is fake, which is not good for Zhongjia Village everywhere!

Thinking of this, Cao Luorong felt a chill in her heart, and Dong Ce's next sentence directly knocked her into the ice cave!

"Can you guarantee that the prefect of Wuxing Mansion and Wu Bing are not all the way? Do you say that it is more credit for overthrowing a subordinate, or is it more credit for quelling a rebellion? Or let the two merge and become the prefect personally leading the guard army to exterminate the rebellious party forces led by Wu Bing! ”

If it was two years ago, Cao Luorong would only scoff at it, but now she sees things less innocent than she used to be.

"After killing so many people for the sake of their future, can these officials sit back and relax?" Cao Luorong's eyes were dead ashes.

"A success will be a thousand bones, all those who achieve great things will be accompanied by great sacrifices, more than 100 villagers are just a drop in the bucket for today's Jiangnan, you look at the current Jiangnan officialdom, which official was demoted because of negligence in governance? On the other hand, the pacification of the rebels is a great achievement, in such a situation, can there not be a dog official like Wu Bing! Dong Ce shook his head and sighed.

"One will make ten thousand bones dry!" Cao Luorong looked at Dong Ce blankly, and sighed: "Yes, whoever achieves great things will be accompanied by sacrifice, and the little girl has been taught!" ”

"Huh, she hasn't heard?" Dong Ce has always thought that this sentence should come out of the Warring States, but Cao Luorong rarely showed a trace of admiration for him, obviously he had never heard of it!

"What else?" Dong Ce didn't want to entangle with her too much.

Cao Luorong came back to her senses when she heard this, and realized that she was looking at Dong Ce in a daze, so she couldn't help blushing, and just said, "It's okay." But suddenly thought of something, grabbed Dong Ce, who was about to leave, and said eagerly: "Wait, you haven't said how you are going to save Zhongjia Village?" ”

"It is useless to say more, but seeing is believing." After Dong Ce finished speaking, he pushed Cao Luorong's hand away and walked straight towards Zhong Xiaoshi at the entrance of the village.

Cao Luorong looked at Dong Ce's back and fell into a stupor.

This was the first time she looked at Dong Ce quietly, and suddenly found that if she ruled out her disgust with him, she seemed to have never seen through this man!

As soon as this idea appeared, Cao Luorong felt unbelievable, because she thought that she could see through all the men in the world now, know what they were thinking and wanting, but the deeper she got in touch with Dong Ce, the more ridiculous she found that what she had seen through was just some fame-seeking hypocrites!

On the other hand, looking at Dong Ce, the more Cao Luorong looked, the more she felt that there seemed to be a fog around him, although she didn't know what he was thinking, she could clearly see what he was doing!

He has no attachment to the world, and does stupid things such as jumping into the lake, but it is this most hated man who saves her, and he is involved in this turmoil, he talks about misfortune, but he does things for the sake of others everywhere, not only saves himself again, but also wishes to live and die with this group of unfortunate simple villagers in Zhongjia Village!

Cao Luorong doesn't know how many people in the world are as self-sacrificing as Dong Ce? Because Dong Ce was the first one she knew!

Unconsciously, Cao Luorong's deathly eyes glowed with a glimmer of brilliance!

Dong Ce didn't know what Cao Luorong was thinking at the moment, if he knew, he would definitely laugh at this girl, it would be too naΓ―ve!

Dong Ce, who has died once, is really not afraid of death, but it doesn't mean that he wants to die, as Cao Luorong guessed, he did save her out of guilt, but helping the villagers, saying that it sounds good is "mutual assistance", and saying that it is bad is "utilization", and in Dong Ce's words, it is "a business"!

I use my wisdom to help you tide over the difficulties, you use the rest of your life to repay me, there is no more cost-effective deal, although there is a risk, but Dong Ce invests in the risk!

When Zhong Xiaoshi saw Dong Ce coming, he hurriedly put down the bamboo pole in his hand and asked, "Engong, is there really no trap at the head of the village?" ”

"Hmm." Dong Ce nodded and said: "The entrance of your Zhongjia Village is on the official road, the end of the village leads to Guzhu Mountain, and the village is surrounded by bamboo forests on both sides, so as long as the head and tail are sealed, it will become a dead end inside. ”

"But there are thousands of county soldiers in Changcheng County, how can we be trapped to death together with so many people." Zhong Xiaoshi said worriedly.

"Huh!" Dong Ce smiled after hearing this, and said, "If it is really Wu Bing who leads the team, there is no need to fight this battle!" ”

"Why is that?" Zhong Xiaoshi wondered.

"Because Wu Bingruo appeared, we just need to hand over Jin Song, and then talk about the ghost plan of the Shanhe Society, no matter how bold the Wu County Order is, he will not dare to move the villagers at all!" It was not Dong Ce who explained, but Cao Luorong, and this girl didn't know when she appeared behind Dong Ce.

"Got it!" Dong Ce looked at Cao Luorong and said with some surprise.

"Hmph, without you, I'm happy to be calm, and I can deduce what else I can't understand!" Cao Luorong was indeed telling the truth, she had been resisting Dong Ce in her heart before, and felt that as long as Dong Ce said it, it was wrong, but after Dong Ce's reminder, she was able to calm down and guess the ins and outs, and she had to say that she was indeed ice and snow smart, and she figured it out a lot in a moment!

"What does the Wind Lady mean?" Zhong Xiaoshi was still a little puzzled.

"This girl's surname is Cao! Don't learn what he calls it. After Cao Luorong finished speaking, a pair of phoenix eyes glared at Dong Ce fiercely, and then explained to Zhong Xiaoshi: "Wu Bing has no reason to dance with the Shanhe Society, if he catches the people of the Shanhe Society, and uses this to catch them all, the credit will be several times greater than the extermination of you, it can be seen that Wu Bing doesn't know that Jin Song is a person from the Shanhe Society, so he will not appear first, and the people who come this time are the ones who come to ask for Jin Song's life!" ”

"Oh, why not rescue Jin Song?" Dong Ce didn't expect Cao Luorong to be able to see it so thoroughly, and secretly thought that this girl's IQ was online? Or is it a fool's errand?

Cao Luorong learned from Dong Ce and gave him an elegant white eye, and said angrily: "You know that you still came to ask me, if they save Jin Song, there will be a large number of people, and where will this group of people be gathered?" How did you come to Zhongjia Village under your cover? ”

"Hmm!" Dong Ce nodded, looked at Zhong Xiaoshi and asked, "Are there very few people who have come to the ferry here in the past two days?" ”

"That's right, in the past, there were at least twenty or thirty people who came to the ferry every day, but after Jin Song came, he didn't see a few people for half a day." After Zhong Xiaoshi finished speaking, he also felt that something was wrong.

"That's right." Dong Ce nodded and said: "I asked you before, you said that there are three Great Wall ferries, and this is the most deviated, only in the spring when the tea harvest will be lively, I guess, this is why Jin Song chose you, after all, this matter is disgraceful, the less people know, the better, maybe Wu Bing posted a notice of the renovation of the ferry at the city gate early to prevent the people from coming here, which is why the hostages you captured are all from other places!" ”

After hearing this, Zhong Xiaoshi suddenly realized, before he thought that the matter of their falling grass was spread, so no one dared to come, but who knew that everything was designed by others!

Cao Luorong frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "You mean, the people from Fanjiazhuang will come?" Impossible, if they are really from the Shanhe Society, how dare this force see the light? But apart from Fanjiazhuang, who else can avoid the eyes of the people in the city? ”

"They don't need to avoid it, because it's a bunch of scoundrels who can be seen by the people!" Dong Ce explained.

After hearing this, Zhong Xiaoshi exclaimed: "What Engong said is the ruffian in the county that Fan Lao Ghost got acquainted with!" ”

"Well, didn't you say that Fan Jiazhuang often has some land haunted, and even becomes a nursing home, and those who dare to take in people like ruffians as nursing homes are either fools or have the ability to control ruffians, so I guess that there must be a ruffian leader under Fan Laogui's hands to work for him, and it is best to send him at this moment!" Dong Ce guessed.

After eliminating the hostile gaze of Dong Ce, Cao Luorong realized that this evil eye was too smart! No wonder he has been defeated again and again, because this guy will not let go of any subtle keys, and has been looking up at the overall situation!

Thinking of this, Cao Luorong hurriedly despised herself in her heart, how could she grow up with other people's ambition to destroy her prestige?

"Humph!" Cao Luorong snorted in her heart, and said on her face: "It is true that ruffians can provoke right and wrong for no reason, but these people are all wine bags and rice bags, so there is no need to be afraid!" ”

"That's good!" Zhong Xiaoshi said with peace of mind, he was really afraid that Wu Bing would lead the county soldiers to kill him.

"Don't be naΓ―ve." Dong Ce said angrily: "The person who set the trap is obviously not stupid, he categorically will not give us a chance to breathe, presumably he came over with the front foot, and the back foot told Wu Bing that the matter was revealed, Wu Bing would definitely do it in advance, if someone told him on the way that Jin Song was dead, then what choice did he have?" ”

Cao Luorong took a deep breath, her face sank like water, and said: "Whether Jin Song dies or not, he will kill people and kill him!" ”

Dong Ce added: "Jin Song's life is too variable for Shanhe Society, and only when he dies can he finish this scene perfectly, so the people behind the scenes will definitely try, even if it doesn't work, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one of them among the county soldiers waiting for the opportunity to kill Jin Song!" ”

Zhong Xiaoshi felt a chill in his heart after hearing this, how could they know that people's hearts can have so many intrigues and tricks!

But then again, Engong and Miss Cao just inquired about the general situation of the matter, and they were able to connect the whole thing through the needle, and their scheming and wisdom must be better than that behind the scenes!

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiaoshi couldn't help but curse secretly: "What a pair of demons!" ”
