Chapter 35: The Villagers Attack
Yu Village, Taoqiu Township, Guangji Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chickens and dogs chirp, cicadas burst out, and cooking smoke curls.
The clear Guangji River (Wuzhang River) passes through the village, and when viewed from a distance, it is a scene of tranquility and abundance. The village surrounded by thousands of acres of fertile land has about 100 households.
Du Baozheng Yu Qingfu liked to sit in the shade of the trees in the courtyard and lie crookedly on the Yanghe (the chair called the "lazy frame" in the Song Dynasty had no chair feet). The concubine with bright eyebrows and eyes waved her fist and beat him on the shoulder. This comfortable energy made Yu Qingfu can't help but close his eyes and hum a little tune in his mouth.
At the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, Dabaozheng was replaced by Du Baozheng, with more than 500 households under his jurisdiction, and he couldn't stop the road when it came. Yu Qingfu also felt that he didn't have much ambition, he just wanted to keep the position that satisfied him, and it was enough for him to be motivated in the future.
Just after the summer harvest, he was quite excited about the income of several thousand yuan. The heavy copper coins were put into the cellar and pillowed under the bed in the bedroom, and the daily sleep was very sound.
Compared with copper coins, he prefers yellow and white things, and these two things are a symbol of status, not to mention that the honored officials prefer these two things. Now silver is coming to the door.
Yu Qingfu was in good spirits for a while, touched the back of the concubine, drove away the concubine with a lewd smile, and looked at the person dressed as a steward and said, "That man really makes silver?" ”
The steward of the eight-character beard couldn't help nodding: "Baozheng, it's so small that you can see it clearly, the man's pocket is full of silver taels." ”
Yu Qingfu narrowed his eyes and began to think: One hundred and ten stones of grain is only one hundred and ten taels of silver, and I don't know how many white things that man has? Let's go and see, so that I can get rid of the old grain.
Now thieves are rampant, and it is inconvenient to bring people into the village to see,
The two walked out of the courtyard and arrived at the intersection of the village, where three people stood at the intersection, blocked by the villagers, one scholar dressed up, and the other two seemed to be in person.
Yu Qingfu quickly looked at the three of them, and secretly despised them in his heart, all the merchants were now wearing monkey crowns, walking around in the clothes of scholars and talents. His eyes turned to the bulging blanket on his body, and his heart salivated, how much silver it should be!
However, he was a well-cultivated person, and his face was not unusual, so he smiled and said first: "But you want to buy some food outside the staff?" ”
The scholar clenched his fists and said: "I've seen Du Baozheng, and I'm going to buy some fresh wheat." ”
Yu Qingfu frowned: "If you want to sell grain, I can pay as much as I want, but at this time, the fresh wheat has paid the summer tax...... It's not much. ”
The scholar smiled: "Bao Zheng is straightforward and offers a price, how much is being collected!" ”
Yu Qingfu pulled his beard and glanced at the steward, and said in his heart that this is a cool person, if there is really a lot of silver, what does it matter if he sells it, afterwards let the village soldiers pretend to be strongmen, and then rob the grain back, these people are also foreigners when they listen to the accent, and they are all solved, and they are not afraid of leaking.
The steward saw that his eyes showed a cold light, and he immediately understood that this kind of thing was not done once or twice, for his own Baozheng, yours is mine, this is a great joy in life!
At that moment, the price and quantity were agreed with the man, and Yu Qingfu instructed the steward to pull out two carts of grain, about more than 100 stones, and at the request of the scholar, he tied up two fat pigs and more than a dozen chickens, as well as cooking utensils and other sundries, plus the ox cart to get a total of more than 150 taels of silver.
Yu Qingfu looked at the backs of the three people who drove away, and said in his heart, these people looked like salt merchants smuggling the way. He immediately commanded the butler.
So the steward gathered more than 200 village soldiers and chased them all the way.
Wang Xing and the others lay listlessly on the grass, relying on chewing grass roots to divert the hunger in their stomachs, and their mouths kept chewing, like old cows eating grass on the side.
The sun hung high in the sky, and two ox carts slowly approached in the distance. Everyone was in high spirits for a while, and they jumped up to meet it.
"I'm hungry!" Wang Xing's speed was the fastest, and he pounced straight at the two fat pigs. The short arm hugged a pig and stared at him excitedly, and he muttered: "Brother Pig, it won't take long for you to sacrifice my five internal organs temple, this is your creation, and don't blame me!" ”
The pig, as if he had understood him, snorted in great rage, and threw him to the ground, causing the crowd to laugh incessantly.
"Wang Dwarf Tiger! Don't play, you and your brothers take down the black pig and quickly peel the skin and stew! Zhang Rong said with a smile, and wiped the corners of his mouth after speaking.
Fang Luo pulled up Wang Xing and said with a smile: "In the future, you Wang Xiaohu will be the head of the fire!" After all, the first thing to do on this march is to have a full stomach. ”
Wang Xing hurriedly jumped away and said, "Don't be like this! I'd better kill the enemy with my brother! Hehe......" He pulled a slender man again, and continued, "Brother, Brother Du Gui has always been our firehead, and he makes a good cook, so it's better to leave this matter to him!"
Fang Luo knew Du Gui, he had already written down everyone's names, what Zhang Gou'er, Niu Wei, Yang Xiaosan, Ding Dung Dan...... The name of a pile of dirt and scum made him staggered.
Seeing that the slender man was a little restrained, he smiled and asked, "Can you kill pigs?" ”
Du Gui was stunned for a moment before he said: "I have seen others kill pigs." ”
Fang Yao nodded and said: "Today, you go and do it yourself, if you kill well, you will be the leader of the army in the future, and you will be temporarily assigned to one person." ”
"Huh?" Du Gui didn't know whether to be surprised or happy, he looked at the two big black pigs and a group of foodies, this Huotou Army Bachelor Captain was very aggrieved, can I serve alone!
"If one person can't be busy, you can choose your own manpower and make food quickly!" Fang Luo added.
Du Gui hugged his fists and went to work.
Fang Luo rubbed his forehead, sat on the ground, and watched more than fifty people busy coming and going.
Zhang Rong leaned over and said, "Brother Xian, can you detect something wrong in Yu Village?" ”
Fang Luo thought about it carefully and frowned: "What's wrong?" Liang Na Bao Zheng is also the protection of a village, although his face is greedy, but he does not look like a person who does ruthless things. ”
Zhang Rong smiled bitterly: "Brother Xian doesn't know the sinister rivers and lakes. I look at the clothes and armor of the soldiers in that township are very new, and they must not be the decorations used to guard the village! The official is not as good as a thief, not to mention that Baozheng and the steward are cold, I am afraid that they have murderous intentions! ”
Fang Yao had a headache, since the Shenzong changed the law in the countryside of the Song Dynasty, although the armor protection law was once abandoned, it had a deep impact, and the villages of all walks of life had already formed small groups with a little combat effectiveness. The township soldier Bao Ding is quite combative, and at least has the ability to protect himself against a few thieves.
If Nadu Baozheng has the idea of robbing the Dao and kills one or two hundred Baoding, it will be troublesome.
How can a man be so shameless! Fang Luo shouted bad luck, affected by the peaceful mentality of his previous life, he actually had a timid thought in his heart. There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, so there is nothing to do. Starting a business is difficult and there are many battles, and this is the first battle in life...... I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future.
Fang Yao's heart swelled with bitterness: "These pickled villains actually got the idea of the grandfathers." Brother Lao Zhang sent a few brothers to investigate first, if this is the case, let's take care of it again! "It's difficult now, I only have two henchmen, and there are very few who obey my orders, so I have to use Zhang Rong's face to distribute orders. Recruit more new talents along the way.
Zhang Rong responded and left, and quickly scattered a few spies.
Fang Luo called Yang Dazhi, Du Hu and other ten people to give advice. When everyone heard that there was a battle to fight, they shouted "kill, kill, kill". Looking at the crowd of excited people, even if they couldn't bear to see the situation of rivers of blood, they also held back this evil breath, and muttered in their mouths: "This chaotic world is really stinky!" Pickled! ”
The second on the side scratched his head violently, and said abruptly: "Big brother is angry, it's my fart......"
The Yu family's steward is surnamed Guan, who is in charge of the affairs of the Yu Mansion, and is also in charge of the small affairs of Baojiali. Leading 200 villagers, they stayed far behind the ox cart all the way, and finally touched their gathering place. He whispered to a person beside him: "Teacher Sun, about fifty men, I'm afraid it's difficult, right?" ”
The man who was called Teacher Sun couldn't bear to be dissatisfied in his heart, and this old guy was making trouble again, and every time he had to be agitated by yin and yang, he was a mother, phew!
As a teacher of guns and sticks of hundreds of people, he has always been at odds with the steward, saying that if it is big, it is a civil and military disagreement, and if it is small, it is a fight between Wang Ba and a toad. But Teacher Sun thinks that he is the material to be a general, and the steward, phew, and Xiucai have not been admitted, they are just old rammers and stupid things with sharp beaks and monkey gills.
"If the steward is afraid, you can go back to the village, and you don't want to be in charge of things here, and you will have three long and two short, leaving a small family and cheap others." Teacher Sun has a temper, but he has a joking tone.
"You! …… Since the teacher is sure, he won't quickly take down this gang of strongmen, hey! I want to tell the truth to keep it right! "The steward is so angry that his face is green, damn, this guy has a sharp mouth, more powerful than a scholar, it seems that he has to let his sister blow the pillow flute more, and Bao Zheng will clean it up.
The two glared at each other and each snorted. Seeing that someone was touching this side, Teacher Sun secretly shouted that it was not good, it was detected so quickly? The weeds are one meter high, and they are tightly sheltered on the ground, so how can they show their whereabouts?
Entering the mother, no matter what, Teacher Sun yelled: "Give it to me!" He jumped up and took the lead in killing the people with his spear.
Wang Xing was reluctant to be ordered to investigate with hunger, but there was no hair, and the time to eat was nervous. He muttered all the way, walked more than 300 steps, and gained a lot, caught a hedgehog, two cicadas, and scared away a pheasant.
While he was looking for prey, he was stunned by a thunderous roar, and the shining tip of the spear rushed straight over, imminent!
Wang Xing hurriedly raised his knife and knocked it open, Rao was like this, and the tip of the spear was also stabbed dangerously against his cheek.
Into the mother! Wang Xing was furious, who forgot to attack his grandfather! He had just taken a few steps back when a seven-foot man stabbed at the head of his spear.
Wang Xing raised his hand and smashed the hedgehog into his face, and his short body jumped up, like a pig in the clouds, holding a big knife and sweeping his waist.
Hiss...... Teacher Sun was shocked in his heart, this short guy was so agile. With a deflection of his head, he flashed the hedgehog, the spear was erected, blocking the big knife, and his right foot kicked straight at Wang Xing's head.
When he met the opponent, Wang Xing was excited, and he wanted to fight for 300 rounds, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a large wave of people behind him. Teacher Sun kicked in the air and rotated 720 degrees before retracting.
As a spy, he naturally has light legs and feet, and he can escape quickly. While running wildly, he shouted: "Thieves sneak attack!" Thieves sneak attack! ”
Panting and running back to the camp, he found that several other spies had already run back, and Fang Luo and Zhang Rong and others were waiting for them, so they had to enter the ranks to meet the enemy.
