Chapter 017: The Background of the Panshan Cottage
"What bandits? Who have you caught? ”
Before Xie Zuo could speak, the old butler was full of vigilance, glared at Xie Qingyi and asked. The old man is now quite frightened by the posture of a bow bird, and he is nervous at the slightest disturbance, which makes Xie Zuo a little uncomfortable.
The old housekeeper didn't know about the bandit invasion that happened last night, Xie Zuo didn't want to delay time, waved his hand to signal the old housekeeper to be calm, and turned to Xie Qingyi: "Where are you keeping people?"
"Backyard firewood room."
Xie Zuo thought for a while, and bowed his head to Xie Qingyi: "Lead the way in front of your head." ”
Then he turned his head to the old butler: "This matter is a long story, let's talk about it while we go." ”
……
In the impression of ordinary people, the firewood room has always been inseparable from the darkness and clutter. In fact, it is true, in the firewood room full of all kinds of debris, the ground is full of fine debris, and even the figure of a rat flashes from time to time, Xie Zuo saw the embarrassed Panshanzhai three masters.
This guy named Bai Jin doesn't seem to be in a good situation at the moment. Needless to say, the whole person was tied into a zongzi by a thumb-thick hemp rope, the original cowhide soft armor had long been gone, and the only remaining small clothes on the body were also messy, so dirty that it was difficult to distinguish the true color, and the face was blue and swollen, and even the original face could not be seen clearly. The only good thing is that the face that was originally red and white and suspected of vitiligo has no difference after being covered with bruises, but it is much more pleasing to the eye than his original face.
The guy had a black linen cloth in his mouth, and he didn't move, as if he was dead.
Xie Zuo scratched his head, it seemed that something was wrong?
What's wrong? Xie Zuo pinched his nose and stared at the motionless Sandang for a long time. It wasn't until his eyes inadvertently glanced at the anxious old butler next to him that he suddenly realized what the problem was.
This guy named Bai Jin, looking left and right, didn't appear in the attribute panel!
Combined with the situation of seeing Yu's account room outside the door in the morning, Xie Zuo suddenly woke up. Nima! It turned out that the observation system, which had high hopes for itself, could only look at the attributes of its own forces. And if you don't meet your own forces, I'm sorry, there's nothing to show!
I'll go! Xie Zuo almost scolded him!
It's too cheating!
What is knowing oneself and knowing the other, what is strong or weak, it is all nonsense! In addition to the fact that loyalty still has a little bit of the role of distinguishing loyalty and traitor, the only use is probably that when using the attribute pill, you can focus on cultivating this effect according to the direction of your specialty!
God is pitiful, Xie Zuo is still planning to wait for this matter, and then go out to walk around, to see if he can find some excellent varieties among the people, or recruit some talented people who are not ambitious, and play some cultivation games in the future. This is good, and when you go out, your eyes are black, and it is useless to look at!
Get! Now that my dream is shattered, I still have to play farming honestly!
With such a cognition, Xie Zuo's mood was naturally not much better. He squatted down in front of the three masters, and with a rough stretch of his hand, he pulled off the linen cloth of the gagged, and at the same time asked impatiently, "Hey! You're not dead yet! ”
As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the three masters, who had not moved at all, suddenly opened, their big mouths opened, and a mouthful of thick phlegm blurted out, shooting towards Xie's left side!
Fortunately, Xie was quick with his left eye, and his hand holding the sackcloth was not far away, and when he saw the three masters open their mouths, they immediately knew that something was wrong, and as soon as they stretched out their hands, they gave the sackcloth back to the three masters' mouths, so the good chemical weapons attack turned into a farce of spit on their faces.
Ya is quite horizontal! Xie Zuo's eyebrows were raised, but he got closer, stared at Bai Jin's eyes, and said, "Bai San is in charge, it seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet." Now I am the knife and you are the fish, and there is a way to cure you. Believe it or not, I cut your **** off and stuffed it in your own mouth? ”
A hint of fear flashed in Bai Jin's eyes, and he happened to be looked at by Xie Zuo. As long as you know that you are afraid, it is easy to do, and the most afraid is the master who is not stingy, and the oil and salt do not enter.
Xie Zuo sneered disdainfully, and fell into Bai Jin's eyes, which naturally understood as a mockery of him, and couldn't help but glared at Xie Zuo angrily. In the dark firewood room, Bai Jin's eyes revealed a faint green light like a wolf, which was very terrifying.
Xie left his lips, quite disapproving. There is no magic skill of "staring at who is pregnant", and there is a lack of pride of "what are you looking at", just looking at a fart is useful! If you want to change yourself in this position, you must not suffer the immediate loss, and when you get out, you will find an opportunity to double your revenge, which is many times better than just knowing that you don't know how many times better.
Unable to waste time with this kind of stubborn guy, Xie Zuo was too lazy to ink again, and turned his head: "Tsing Yi, do you know how I dealt with the Yu family's goods today?" ”
Xie Qingyi was not present when dealing with Yu's account room, but they were all in the same courtyard, and of course he easily knew the methods of his young master. Hearing Xie Zuo's words, he immediately nodded: "I know!" ”
"Good." Xie Zuo smiled evilly, "Give us the three masters the same way." Remember, pour three cylinders of water and stop half a column of incense. Belch...... Be gentle, and I'll ask questions later! ”
"Great!" Xie Qingyi was a little eager to try.
Waving his hand to let Xie Qingyi go to prepare, Xie Zuo turned around and walked out of the firewood room. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw the old butler come out with his hind feet.
I inadvertently glanced at the old butler, and found that his lips kept trembling, and there was a sense of despair in his eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder:
"Uncle Qin, it's just a bandit left and right, even if it's tough, after all, it's a thief who can't be on the stage. But once we report to the official and have precautions, what else do they dare to do? Why should you be afraid to be like this! ”
The old butler opened his mouth, but turned his head to look at the firewood room again, and pulled Xie Zuo's sleeve to pull him away from the firewood room. After making sure that there was no one around, he cried and said with a sad face: "The young master doesn't know, the strongman in Panshanzhai is extraordinary, and the extraordinary bandits are comparable!" ”
"Oh? Could it be that these bandits still have any origins? ”
The old housekeeper hesitated, finally gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth:
It is rumored that there are seven leaders in Panshanzhai, who are said to have escaped from the death row camp of the Northern Army three years ago and arrived in the mountains ten miles away. These seven people had higher skills than ordinary people, and they knew some military affairs, so they quickly gained a firm foothold in the county. Coupled with natural and man-made disasters for many years, these people's methods are ruthless and abnormal, and the thieves' livelihood is getting bigger and bigger, and they eventually become a tyrant in Huinan County. If that's all there is to it, the key is ......"
"What's the key?" Xie Zuo faintly felt that his eyebrows twitched a little, and he had an ominous premonition.
The old housekeeper looked around and leaned into Xie's left ear:
"Two years ago, there was a family surnamed Zhao in Jiangbei County, under the jurisdiction of Huinan County, with a solid family background, and the current county Shouhe's family, because of the matter of the property, two days later, the whole family of 72 people overnight, was slaughtered by the bandits! Last year, Lord Bo Wei, the county lord who had just left office, encountered bandits on his way back to his hometown and was killed again, and none of the 23 people in his party survived. It is said that when Lord Wei was in office, he had a political disagreement with Lord Gunmoriga, and the conflict has been going on for a long time......"
"Hiss......" Xie Zuo gasped, "You mean these are all made by Panshanzhai?" ”
The old housekeeper's eyebrows and nose were wrinkled together: "Although there is no evidence, it should be that they are right." This is not an old slave's blind guess, but an analysis based on clues when the old man was alive. ”
Xie Zuo's heart sank, but he still held on to the last glimmer of hope, and looked at the old housekeeper: "What do you mean by being old, won't it be the county guard ......?" ”
The old housekeeper hurriedly covered Xie Zuo's mouth: "I can hear and think about this, but I can't say it!" Even when the old man was alive, he never said this! ”
Xie Zuo's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. Even if you don't know the severity, you can understand what it means for a county shepherd to be a ** like his own. Not to mention the so-called "big family" in a poor and remote area like the Xie family, even if it is a wealthy family that has really been inherited for a hundred years, if the county guard in the jurisdiction is in a hurry, it is really ruthless, and it is really not impossible to destroy the dead clan! The so-called "breaking the county order, destroying the door order Yin" is really not a joke. As for the little Xie family, if the county guard wants to kill himself, I'm afraid it won't take much effort than stepping on an ant to death!
Spicy Lump Mommy's! Who did Lao Tzu recruit and provoke whom? The dignified county guard, leaving countless fat sheep in the county not to look for it, and wanting to greet himself with thin arms and legs? Do I know you?
Slowly exhaling a breath of turbidity, Xie Zuo turned around and strode back to the firewood room. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Bai San, who was pressed to the ground by several family members, rolling his eyes, and venting more air than in.
Let the other family members go out first, Xie Zuo stomped on Bai Jin's chest, took off the cloth towel covering his face, put his face in front of the three masters who were breathing weakly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"I don't have the heart to tease you right now. What I ask, you answer. If the answer is slow, or the answer is not satisfactory to me, I just cut off the eggs and feed them to the dog, do you understand? If you understand, blink. ”
Seeing that the three masters who were dying quickly fanned their eyelids, Xie Zuo's heart was slightly relaxed:
"Was the looting of Xie Mansion last night premeditated, or was it just in time?"
