Chapter 326: Killing in the middle of the night
In this way, Ling Mengchu was tied hand and foot, locked in a shed full of dry firewood, although this shed leaked on all sides, but at least there was a shed roof to protect from the wind and rain, a little better than the pottery root that was tied hand and foot and was still in the abandoned sheepfold.

Tu Achou and Cheng Zai's attitude towards Ling Mengchu is different from that of Zhou Guoneng and Chen Dalang, the two outlaws, and they should be polite, which makes the sharp-minded Ling Mengchu a little more down-to-earth in his heart.
After a day's walk on the mountain road, in addition to eating some dry food on the way, Ling Meng did not eat a drop of water at the beginning, and at night, he was even more cold and hungry, but fatigue finally prevailed, and finally fell asleep.
After sleeping until half of the night, Ling Mengchu felt that someone was pushing him, and suddenly woke up from his dream and asked in a deep voice, "Who?!" ”
A voice immediately came from the pitch-black firewood shed, saying, "Lord Ling, don't panic, it's Cheng Zai below!" ”
Ling Mengchu woke up from the dream and was still a little dazed, and was about to speak, but he heard this Cheng Zai say: "Cheng came to see the adult in the middle of the night, and the adult should know Cheng's thoughts." Cheng went up the mountain from a thief, but he couldn't help himself.
"Now that the adults have gone up the mountain to persuade them to surrender, they have given Cheng and others a way to live, and Cheng is naturally a hundred willing. It's just that now several leaders on the mountain have different opinions, and Cheng doesn't dare to show his intentions.
"Not long after, Cheng Mou saw Tu Augly, and Tu Leader also had this intention, so he asked him to invite the adults to come over to discuss together."
When Ling Meng first heard this, he suddenly realized, he woke up for a while, his eyes also adjusted to the darkness in the firewood shed, and finally saw the outline of the person who came, it was the short and fat Cheng Zai.
At this time, after listening to Cheng Zai, Ling Mengchu struggled to get up.
Cheng Zai hurriedly stepped forward and untied the hemp rope on Ling Mengchu's hands and feet, and then the two of them walked out of the firewood shed with their front feet and back feet.
On Niutou Mountain in the night, it was pitch black, and the dampness on the mountain was also very serious, and I didn't know whether it was a thick fog or a drizzle, and it was cold on the face, and it was wet everywhere.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard gate, walked about two miles of mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow, turned seven and eight times, and finally saw a little light in a mountain col.
A light like a bean, in the dark night it looks both mysterious and hopeful.
Although Tu Augly is a leader of water thieves, he also knows the truth of being careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, since he went up the mountain, checking the guard in the middle of the night is something that he insists on doing every day, and today is no exception.
It was precisely because of Tu Achou's unwavering habit that Cheng Zai found the opportunity to meet him alone.
Tu Acho's thoughts, Cheng Zai is clear, and in Cheng Zai's opinion, I'm afraid that Zhou Guoneng and Chen Dalang have already counted in their hearts, so he doesn't dare to see Tu Augly in the daytime, Zhou Guoneng and Chen Dalang even dare to eat, what else do you dare not do?
Cheng Zai was a wealthy businessman before he became a thief, and he was used to the days of fine clothes and jade food, and he couldn't stand this suffering on the mountain at all, let alone eat people with people like Zhou Guoneng and Chen Dalang, so since the failure to capture the Huzhou capital city, he regretted it in his heart.
Chen Dalang was originally a leader of Cheng Zai's family, but because he was not afraid of death and cruel by nature, he quickly established his prestige among the thieves after the incident, and now he has become one of the four leaders alongside Tu Acho, Zhou Guineng, and Cheng Zai, and naturally has lost his original respect and obedience to Cheng Zai, the old patron and old club.
All this made Cheng Zai very unhappy.
But there is no way to be unhappy, Chen Dalang is very capable of fighting, it turned out that the thugs who followed the left and right when he was in Cheng's house were all ruffians who Chen Dalang was used to, and now that it has reached this point, of course, he will no longer treat Cheng Zai as a master.
If among these leaders, who has lost the most things because of this civil unrest, it is really Cheng Zai, a wealthy businessman from Jiashan.
Cheng Zai is a businessman, and he is a profiteer, of course he can understand this account, so he is really remorseful to make trouble to this point.
Because no matter what, he Cheng Zai was a man before, and now compared with these people who are on his equal, he is completely two people.
These thieves and rebels went from Jiaxing Mansion to Huzhou Mansion, killing landlords and eating big households all the way, and robbing the rich, so that he could see more clearly, these people are his natural enemies at all!
Especially during this time, every time Chen Dalang came to visit him, the eyes that looked at his wife and concubine made him feel very unhappy, and he had already started to kill, but he didn't dare to do it.
Of course, Cheng Zai has killed people, and he has done a lot of things to bully the weak and disregard people's lives, but the current situation is different from the past, who are the people around him!
They are not meek ordinary people like sheep, on the contrary, they are ruthless characters who kill people without blinking!
Of course, these homeless bachelors don't care about anything, but they have a family and a family, what will be the result of following these people like this?
Even if you think about it with your toes, he can figure it out!
It can be said that in today's situation, accepting the government's recruitment is the only way out for him Cheng Zai.
But now, these leaders all live in Shangjing Village, which has better conditions, and this Shangjing Village was Zhou Guoneng's territory before, and if they want to hide something from Zhou Guoneng, they have to be twelve points cautious.
Tu Achou also knew this, so he asked Cheng Zai to bring Ling Mengchu to this place more than two miles away from Shangjing Village to meet.
If Cheng Zai went to see Ling Mengchu privately and was discovered, he would also have a way out, saying that he didn't know about it, and blamed Cheng Zai for the matter.
Fortunately, the weather was bad at night, it was wet everywhere, and it was pitch black, and the eyeliner arranged by Zhou Guoneng didn't know to hide under that roof to sleep, so he traveled all the way, and no one found out.
Tu Achou, Cheng Zai, and Ling Mengchu looked at each other, Tu Achou extinguished the lantern in his hand, and the three of them discussed it in the dark night, and then dispersed in the night.
Tu Augly lit the lantern in his hand and continued to patrol the path around Shangjing Village, while Ling Mengchu and Cheng Zai each returned to their own residences.
Ling Mengchu returned to the firewood shed, tied his feet by himself, and then simply tied his hands behind his back, and fell on the firewood and straw stack to continue sleeping.
The next day, it was overcast again with a drizzle.
As soon as it was dawn, Ling Mengchu was woken up, and was carried by someone, passed through the door, and took him to the hall in the backyard.
When I arrived at the house, I saw that Tu Augly was already seated.
Seeing that Ling Mengchu was brought in, Tu Achou immediately stepped forward, took out a short knife with ox ears from his waist, cut the hemp rope on his hands and feet, and then waved back the minions in the hall.
After the minions left, Tu Achou looked at Ling Mengchu, and then handed him the short knife in his hand.
Ling Mengchu didn't hesitate, and then took the short knife and put it in his sleeve.
looked at Tu Augly again, but he was surprised to find that there was an extra bow in his hand at some point.
Neither of them spoke, but they both knew each other's thoughts.
Only a moment later, Ling Mengchu suddenly heard a "bang" sound outside, and he knew that it was the sound of the door of the firewood shed being kicked open.
Sure enough, then someone said loudly: "What about the dog official surnamed Ling?!" ”
This is Zhou Guoneng's voice.
Soon, Ling Mengchu saw Zhou Guoneng's angry figure.
Zhou Guoneng entered the hall and first saw Ling Mengchu standing indoors, so he said loudly: "You dog official, you are so bold, who allowed you to enter this room?!" ”
When Zhou Guoneng said this, he seemed to realize something, and he was shocked, and turned his head to look at the other person standing in the room, and then he was shocked.
Zhou Guoneng, an old bandit, instinctively opened his mouth and shouted, but he was still a step too late, and a straight long arrow "swished" and shot in front of him!
The arrows were homemade bamboo arrows, but the bow was a strong bow snatched from the hands of the officers and soldiers.
Zhou Guoneng was only a few steps away from Tu Acho, who was shooting arrows at him, so there was no way to dodge and no way to dodge.
In this way, he watched as a long arrow shot through his mouth and finally came out of the back of his head.
