Chapter 249: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots
The old seven and eight elders of the Chu family are known as the seven wolves and eight tigers, and they have always been among the Chu family brothers who can fight and kill, and there are more than a dozen lives in their hands, if the two of them do not teach the outside righteous march, the ancestral grave of the Chu family will really be dug up.

So the seven wolves and eight tigers scattered silver and asked the patrol police and the militia to go out of the city to fight, and everyone was so frightened that they retreated again and again, and the bandits who looked like tens of thousands outside the city, who dared to go out of the city to die?
Old Man Chu gritted his teeth and said: "Those who participate in the death squad will pay one hundred taels of silver for settling in." Fortunately, the power of silver is infinite, and soon more than 300 people participated in the death squad for silver, and the seven wolves and eight tiger brothers led the team out of the city overnight to prepare for the attack on the camp.
This tall and strong bandit who came out of the regular army, how could he not take precautions early, the seven wolves and eight tigers of the Chu family had just left the city, and they were discovered by the spies of the righteous marching army. Then the righteous marching army pretended to be defeated by the death squad, and retreated to the valley, but the seven wolves and eight tigers mistakenly thought that the army was victorious, and pursued by the victory, but fell into an ambush circle, more than 300 people were killed more than 20, and the death squad suddenly panicked.
At this time, Gao Dazhuang ordered everyone to raise torches, and more than 3,000 bandits each held torches high, as if the entire valley was half ablaze.
"Surrender!"
"Drop!"
"Drop!"
"Drop!"
The roars of more than 3,000 people wandered in the valley, frightening more than 300 daredevils in the valley to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy again and again, seven of the seven wolves and eight tigers of the Chu family were killed on the spot, and the eight tigers were also injured, and the death squad was leaderless, and more than 300 people were all captured.
Early the next morning, at the suggestion of Wei Wenkang, a poisonous Xiucai, Gao Dazhuang ordered the righteous march to drive three hundred captives to attack the city. The prisoners, who were originally composed of the Su County militia and the patrol police, were killed more than 50 people on the spot.
The people of Su County exploded the pot, after all, the people who were killed were all relatives of their own family, Chu Laosi killed people without blinking, how could he even kill his own people.
The resisters in the county seat of Suxian County also quarreled, and the old man Chu lost his second son, and the old tears almost passed.
At this time, the third child of the Chu family, who has always had a brain, said: "Then why the second king of Yangzhou did not send troops to rescue for a long time, it is not because we refused to let them dig coal, so it is better for us to agree to him now, and quickly send someone to Xuzhou to send a telegram, saying that we welcome the second king to come to Suzhou to mine, and give them 50,000 taels of silver to make amends." ”
"What? Give them mines, and give them silver to make amends? The grumpy old Jiu Chu Quan Jie Deng disagreed, and shouted: "Third brother, are you crazy? The silver given to the king, and the mining to the king? Do you know that they (Wang Yongan's people) are here to dig our family's ancestral grave, if they dig our family's ancestral grave Qilin vein, what will happen to the descendants of our Chu family? If you want me to say that we will consume, and the bandits can't enter the city, they have to guard outside the city, how much food do they have? How much food do we have? Consume them too. Even if they have a lot of food, our Chu family's power in Anhui Province is not small, even if the surnamed Wang drags the troops, he can't help but come, right? I estimate that as long as we can hold out for a month, the bandits will inevitably retreat. ”
The Chu family thinks that what Lao Jiu said makes sense, no matter how you say that the 24th Mixed Association is also the Qing Army, and you can always go from Yangzhou to Suxian in a month. This Wang Yongan is the envoy of the Jiangbei Protector, if the Jiangbei is in chaos, the court wants to trouble him, so we will guard until the bandits retreat, and guard until the twenty-four mixed associations have to send troops under the pressure of the imperial court.
Outside the city, the group of prisoners who were shot and killed by their former colleagues were also frightened and retreated, and some people immediately scolded the Chu family for being bastards, which was simply unforgivable.
A small patrol officer said: "I know of a secret passage, which was originally used by the wealthy Zhang family in the city to escape, bypassing the city wall to connect the inside and outside of the city. The Zhang family used to do black and white business, so they developed the habit of leaving a way back. Once his concubine had an affair with his son, and was bumped into by Mr. Zhang, and the son escaped into a secret passage. It just so happened that our patrol officer knew about this, so we grabbed his son, beat him up, and found the exit of the secret passage outside the city. Everyone is just curious, but they haven't used it, after all, the secret passage is narrow and dark, and everyone doesn't dare to go in. ”
Gao Dazhuang laughed and said, "Okay, Sanfang Pig, you take two hundred people to follow this good man into the city along the secret passage, and open the city gate for me in the middle of the night." ”
"Okay." The young man nicknamed the three-toothed pig said immediately.
Soon, the three-toothed pig gathered more than 200 people, and followed the patrol officer to drill into the secret passage and came directly to Zhang's house in the city. To everyone's surprise, the Zhang family was preparing to escape out of the city through the secret passage at this time, and after the two parties met, they were all surprised. However, the three-toothed pig was born as a bandit after all, and his reaction was quick, and he immediately pulled out his two guns and pointed them at Old Man Zhang's head and said, "Do you want to die or live?" ”
"I want to live! I'm cooperating with you, aren't you going to deal with the Chu family? I'll take you to deal with them, and after the matter is done, you just need to let me slash the Chu family's old nine. Old Man Zhang gritted his teeth and said.
It turned out that Mr. Zhang was a loan shark, and later the ten masters of the Chu family grew up, especially the grumpy Chu Lao Jiu, who was seventeen or eighteen years old, and saw that the usury business was highly profitable, so he united with other brothers to rob the Zhang family's usury business. The business was robbed by the Chu family is small, the face of the Zhang family is gone, and the old man Zhang has a grudge against the Chu family, but now that he sees that the righteous march is actually in front of him, he naturally wants to cooperate with them.
The three-toothed pig laughed, stayed until midnight, with the help of the Zhang family, everyone came to the north gate of the city, quietly killed the people stationed here, and then opened the city gate. Then Gao Dazhuang led 3,000 righteous marching bandits into the city, and Gao Dazhuang didn't look at anything else, but only picked the Chu family compound and left.
Before the Chu family could react, the bandits broke through the gate of the village, and the bandits swarmed in, killing people when they saw them, and taking the money when they saw them. Gao Dazhuang ordered: "The people of the Chu family, the men are all killed, the women are left to the brothers to have fun, and they are all killed after the fun, and the rest of the people in the city will not move." ”
The bandits finally had a good time and plundered in the Chu family's compound, and the women and daughters-in-law of the Chu family are all first-class beauties, and the bandits are all rough women and ugly women on weekdays. In the past few days, the women of the Chu family were all devastated, and many of them committed suicide.
Wei Wenkang did not forget to remind: "Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, the Chu family must be all killed, otherwise there will be a big disaster in the future." Gao Dazhuang then ordered to behead all the men of the Chu family first, and as for Chu Laojiu, he handed it over to Old Man Zhang, who excitedly executed Chu Laojiu to Ling Chi with a knife, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.
After some gentry raised silver, grain and horses and handed them over to Gao Dazhuang, Gao Dazhuang ordered to immediately kill all the direct and collateral relatives of the Chu family, and then burned the Chu family's land deeds, house deeds and IOUs, and deeds of sale, and released the house slaves, announcing that the Chu family could no longer do evil from now on, and then immediately led the troops to flee to Henan Province.
Three days later, the 24th Mixed Association 2nd Standard Army arrived in Su County, took over the defense of Su County, and captured more than 30 ruffians and hooligans who were making trouble in the streets, killed them, and reported to the Imperial Court that the 24th Mixed Association successfully defeated the bandits, and the rebellion in Su County stopped.
