Chapter 44: Zhu Kewu (Asking for Recommendation)

Unilateral slaughter, a small piece of mountain land was already a river of blood, Xiao Jin stuck the knife in his side, looked at the defeated bandits, and laughed.

Only Chen Jinnan was the only one around who didn't chase and kill.

"I'm so tight when I look at the south, I'm not tired."

"Adults are concerned about the dawn of the world." Chen Jinnan arched his hand.

"I heard that you have a relative from Fujian." Xiao Jin heard him say this, and turned his head to stare at Chen Jinnan.

"Your Excellency." Chen Jinnan's face was embarrassed.

Xiao Jin saw that the large army in front of him was about to disappear from sight, turned over and got on his horse, "I don't embarrass you, it's not like this time, I'm waiting for you to tell me in person." “

"Drive."

At Shifeng, the Zhu bandit saw that Xiao Jin was catching up, and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, the three bandit leaders have run away, and there are still fewer of us." ”

"Order the troops, go up to the main peak of Dalong Mountain, send someone to the bottom of the mountain to inform Xiao Jian that there is no need to rescue again, follow the steps, block the intersection, and intercept and kill the bandits."

Holding hands to cover the scorching sun, seeing that there was a group of the largest fugitives in the distance, hundreds of people fled in the direction of Dalong Mountain, thinking that they must have fled back to the old nest, and pointed to the Zhu bandits, "Follow them." ”

On the way, I asked the captured bandits, and learned that there were really four groups of bandits in this big dragon mountain, and the three small peaks were called Black Dragon Mountain, Danglong Mountain, and White Dragon Mountain, surrounding the main peak of Dalong Mountain, Feilong Mountain, and Feilong Village was the largest group as Xiao Jin guessed.

An hour later, Xiao Jinle stopped his horse, looked at the cottage in front of him, the gate was closed, and a bandit came over, and asked gently, "Do you know where your boss went?" ”

This bandit was none other than Lin Shenshen, who overheard the officers and soldiers talking that day.

Lin knelt down and kowtowed after carefully speaking, and said tremblingly, "Adult, the little one really doesn't know, I beg the adult to spare the little one's life." ”

Xiao Jin felt bored, and waved his hand to let people take it down.

Said to Zhu Butcher, "We don't have much rations, it's not a way to spend it here, you go and see the situation inside, if you can surrender, you can surrender, if you can't surrender, you can use explosives to blow up the gate of the village and attack it." ”

Chen Jinnan observed just now and walked into Xiao Jindao, "My lord, it seems that there are some old and weak women and children inside, and the group of deserters just now was almost shot by us halfway through." ”

"Then you catch up with Butcher Zhu and ask him to shout to open the gate of the village, if he does not surrender, he will not leave anyone behind when the gate of the village is blown up."

Without waiting for Butcher Zhu to shout to open the gate of the village, the gate of the village was already wide open, only to find that there were a group of people kneeling down in front of the gate of the village, there were old and weak women and children, and there were bandits who had just escaped into the house, and Butcher Zhu made people look at them and called for troops to enter the village.

Xiao Jin felt the mood of the victor for the first time, looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled people who were kneeling on the ground, Xiao Jin dismounted and said loudly, "Can anyone tell me when everyone runs away." ”

Before he finished asking, Zhao Tongdi came up with a few brothers tied up and hugged his fists. "My lord, I caught a suspicious person, this person rode to the front of the village, and when he saw my officers and soldiers coming up, he beat his horse and fled."

"Oh," seeing that this man was dressed in silk, how could he look like a bandit.

Xiao Jin smiled and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing that he kept his head down and was silent.

Butcher Zhu said strongly, "Do you dare to reply to the adult's words?" Look for death. ”

A bandit kneeling in the crowd below said, "Adult, little know him, he is the big boss of Bailong Village." ”

Xiao Jin glanced at the bandit, turned around and said curiously, "Didn't you send it to the door, maybe tell the adults what I was for?" ”

"My lord, the little one knows, he must be for his wife, his wife was taken by us a few years ago, no, he was robbed by the bandits of Feilongzhai to be the second lady, he must have come to find his wife."

Xiao Jin asked after listening. "Is it true?"

Seeing him looking at a woman kneeling in the crowd, he couldn't take his eyes off and was silent.

Xiao Jinran let him loosen his ties and said, "You have been robbed of your own woman, and you still call others brothers, you are such a man." ”

"I thought about snatching him back and killing him. However, the second brother and the fourth brother both wore a pair of pants with him, and they couldn't beat him, Mei Niang still had my flesh and blood in her belly, if I didn't want my cheap life, I would fight with him, what would happen to my child. ”

The woman also began to cry when she heard him, and Xiao Jin only then realized that the woman was still holding a little girl in her arms.

Approaching, squatting down and pulling the little girl over, seeing her looking at him fearfully, Xiao Jin smiled, "What's your name?" ”

"My name, my name." The little girl trembled with fear.

The woman kowtowed and said, "The child's name is Wan'er." ”

Xiao Jin nodded, picked up the little girl and came to Bailongzhai to be everyone's side, "Call Dad." ”

The little girl said with a sigh, "He's not my father." ”

Jia Ritian's face was full of shame and indignation, and he said angrily, "My lord will not pursue the two of them anymore, and when they get into the mountains, it will be difficult to find them when the time comes." ”

"Look at your still speaking, you used to be a showman."

At this time, the little girl was no longer afraid of Xiao Jin, and hugged Xiao Jin and laughed, "Uncle will take you down the mountain to eat delicious." ”

Jia Ritian looked at the middle woman in the crowd and the little girl in Xiao Jin's arms, knelt down and choked up, "If the adults can trust me, let me make meritorious contributions, and give me some people, I will definitely bring Zhu Kewu's head to see the adults." ”

Seeing that Xiao Jin didn't reply, he only cared about teasing his little girl, and continued, "There are dozens of mountains nearby, only I can find them, sinner Jia Ritian, I just ask adults to be kind to my wife and children." ”

Xiao Jin looked at him with a look in his eyes, "Chen Jinnan, you take the two teams of the musket battalion and the Zhu butcher, and go with Jia Da to suppress the bandits." ”

Butcher Zhu said, "My lord, let me go." ”

"You still have to carry the money and grain here, you are better than Chen Jinnan in this matter." Xiao Jin coughed.

Chen Jinnan was ordered to take Jia Ritian with him.

Xiao Jin looked at the group of people who were kneeling, "Get up, this official only kills the bandit leader, and if you have the strength, help the official transport supplies." ”

said to Butcher Zhu, "If you want to be a soldier, you are not to blame for the past, and this matter is left to you." ”

After speaking, he hugged the little girl and asked her to show her the way, and came to Zhu Kewu's bedroom.

As soon as Xiao Jin entered the door, he was attracted by a portrait in the bedroom, and what attracted Xiao Jin was not the figure in the painting, but the inscription on the corner, Hongwu 20 years.

Xiao Jin put down the little girl in his hand, stared at the painting, which should be a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang in old age, touched the paper, the high-quality painting scroll, took it down and took it outside, and looked carefully at the sun.

A small bandit leader, why do you enshrine a portrait of the founding emperor of a previous dynasty.

Zhu Kewu, Zhu Kewu, Xiao Jin's brows tightened, he guessed some eyebrows, and called someone to call the little girl's mother.

When the woman saw her calling her, she knelt down and said, "Your Excellency." ”

Xiao Jin half-squatted down and asked her sharply, "Do you know the origin of this portrait?" ”

When the little girl saw her uncle scolding her mother, she cried, "Uncle, don't kill my mother." ”

Xiao Jin touched the little girl's head, "Uncle won't kill your mother, Uncle is asking." ”

Xiao Jin was excited for a while, and his tone became stronger, and he said softly, "You tell me what you know." “

The woman kowtowed and said, "The folk girl really doesn't know anything about this portrait, and she knows that the great master has to worship every day, and she has never heard anything from him." ”

Xiao Jin saw that the woman didn't know, and found the butcher Zhu who was sending someone to loot money and silver, "You quickly send someone to ride my horse and inform Chen Jinnan that this Zhu Kewu must be caught alive." ”
