Chapter 18: The Mountain Sculpture (5)

In the inner house, several members of the village protection team listened to Brother Wang's words, grabbed the gold and silver that Wang Fugui had packed and fled without notifying the others, and at this time, the other village protection teams in the outer courtyard were still carefully confronting Zheng Jiajun.

When the village guards saw the Zheng family army outside transporting artillery, the village guards in the house suddenly became chaotic.

One of them even shouted loudly: "Uncle Wang, whether you want to flee or surrender, you have to hurry up and get an idea!" ”

Wang Furong was also anxious at this time, why hasn't this big brother been cleaned up yet, this has sent a second wave of people to urge.

Zheng Chenggong waited for a while and didn't see any intention of surrendering in the courtyard, so he ordered the marines to attack.

However, in order to minimize the damage to this courtyard, after all, this cottage will be its own in the future, Zheng Chenggong asked the artillery to pay attention, as long as the stone wall of the gate and the front door was knocked down.

This stone wall is naturally not as solid as the stone wall built of granite, after two rounds, there is no front door in the whole area, and the angry Zheng Chenggong stomped his feet, these losers, it seems that cannonballs don't need money, and they don't know how to save some money.

In the first round of shelling, after the death of a few village guards, the remaining village guards did not dare to hide behind the stone wall anymore, and all fled to the inner courtyard.

Later, when he saw that the marines had rushed into the inner house, Wang Furong, who had no room to retreat, used the flintlock pistol in his hand to threaten the remaining dozens of village guards to come forward to resist, wanting to delay a little longer.

Although due to the restrictions of the terrain, the number of marines who rushed into the inner house was small, but they relied on the tenacity of the rattan armor to rush directly into the village protection team, and with a few swords in their hands, they hacked to death more than a dozen people in the lead.

The guards who had fled into the inner house suddenly collapsed, turned around and fled towards the back door.

The second wave of people who went to urge Wang Fugui to hurry up and clean up at this time also ran out and shouted: "Oh no, Master Wang is dead, Wang Mazi and they have already fled after robbing the master's gold and silver!" ”

When Wang Furong heard the news of this thunderbolt on a sunny day, he immediately stopped and grabbed the man's collar and shouted, "What, how could the eldest brother die!" ”

But the several teams that escorted Wang Furong to escape hurriedly pulled him to continue running, and said as he ran, "Oh, my Uncle Wang, what are you talking about at this time, it's important to escape!" ”

Under the protection of several village protection teams, Wang Furong hid through the back door in the crowd of fleeing scoundrels and fled towards the back door of the cottage.

The village guards fled, and the entire cottage no longer resisted. Zheng Jiajun gathered the villains, scoundrels, bandits and their families who did not escape in the cottage, as well as the family members of the Zhuang team and the Wang family, into the open space in the cottage.

The speed at which the Zheng family's army conquered the cottage was too fast, and many of Wang Fugui's subordinates did not have time to escape, not to mention their families, there were about two or three thousand people in the open space at this time.

While searching the house, Zheng Jiajun found Dong'er.

A nine-year-old girl sat quietly in a pool of blood, and when she saw someone come in, a strange smile appeared on her otherwise delicate face.

That terrible situation made Zheng Chenggong feel chilled when he saw it.

Later, under the interrogation of her mother's body and the military judge, the villain and the village guard told everything they knew.

After listening to the military judge's statement, Zheng Chenggong looked at these people in front of him, and Zheng Chenggong suddenly had the idea of killing prisoners.

When he attacked the cottage before, he almost killed someone, although his life was good and he escaped this catastrophe, but he still has palpitations.

Now hearing such a terrifying deed, Zheng Chenggong always has a hatred in his heart.

Zheng Chenggong took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, and tried very hard to suppress the hatred.

They deserve to die, but they can't kill them all in one go because of their resentment. Otherwise, he will inevitably not have the idea of slaughtering the city and trapping prisoners in the future.

At that time, I am afraid that I will be a demon, a demon who can only kill.

Zheng Chenggong ordered that these individuals be confined here first, and then tried together when those who escaped were arrested.

Hmph, Lao Tzu deliberately let you escape through the back door of the cottage, just to ease your determination to resist.

Lao Tzu asked you to escape from the cottage, but Lao Tzu didn't say that he would let you escape.

When the rattan armor soldiers surrounded the cottage, Zheng Chenggong had already ordered Yang Cai to lead 500 soldiers to make a detour to the back gate of the cottage to ambush.

Hmph, I'm going to have to pay it back sooner or later, and I didn't want to run away.

Yang Cai led 500 soldiers to ambush at the back door of the cottage for a day, and in the end, except for a few small fish that were caught in the net, Wang Furong and Wang Mazi, who escaped with a large amount of gold and silver, were all caught.

All the people who should be arrested were arrested, and Zheng Chenggong ordered a public trial of the Wang family and his gang twenty miles outside Pantuo Town three days later.

After Zheng Jiajun's propaganda and the people's word of mouth for three days.

The day before the trial, many people who were far away would rather rush to the suburbs outside Pantuo Town to spend the night than to be able to watch the thieves lay down in order to dispel the anger in their chests.

On the day of the public trial, the people who were persecuted by Wang Fugui and his minions were ruined and their wives were separated, and they rushed to Pantuo Town.

Early in the morning, tens of thousands of people gathered around the place of the public trial, gritting their teeth and looking at the Wang family's village protection team, villains, scoundrels, etc.

When Wang Furong and the others who went up to the execution platform under the custody of the marines, the people were even more emotional, if it weren't for Zheng Jiajun's efforts to maintain order, I am afraid that they would have rushed up and bitten this group of people to death.

Zheng Chenggong sat on the trial table, holding a pen in one hand and a roster in the other. Shout a name, cross it, and those villains who have mutilated the people will serve their sentences in the midst of the curses of the people. Depending on the severity of the crime, they were either beheaded, beheaded, or hanged.

Wang Fugui, who was originally a heinous crime, is dead, and Zheng Chenggong has no intention of trying his crimes again.

But the angry people refused, and at the request of many people to kneel down and beg the country to be surnamed Lord, even if Wang Fugui died, he would die without a whole corpse. Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to comply with public opinion, threw Wang Fugui's body into the wilderness, let jackals peck at his flesh, and at the same time sentenced his younger brother Wang Furong to five horses to dismember the corpse to dissipate the anger of the people.

It took two days in a row to finish the execution of all those who committed serious crimes, and the rest of those who did not have serious crimes were driven away by fighting thirty or fifty times.

After dealing with these, Zheng Chenggong ordered a three-day congee fast to relieve the poor people.

Only then did the people sing praises and praise the Zheng family army and leave Pantuo Town. In the praise of the people of Zhangzhou, the world has also heard of Zheng Chenggong's "benevolence, righteousness and love for the people" and "Zheng Qingtian" deeds.

Leaving Pantuo Town, Zheng Chenggong couldn't stop laughing all the way.

This is a big deal, breaking the cottage, except for the rice that cost more than 8,000 stones to open the porridge.

Zheng Jiajun loaded all the surplus grain, rice, gold, silver and jewelry from the cottage into the car. The rest of the cattle, sheep, mules, horses and other goods were also brought with them for military use. After some counting, a total of 110,000 stone of grain was obtained, and 90,000 taels of gold and silver were converted. With money and food in hand, Zheng Chenggong, who has confidence, is naturally happy!

The only thing that makes it difficult is that Dong'er! After the public trial of the Wang family, she did not follow her mother's arrangement to go to her grandfather, but followed the Zheng family army to the death.

After Zheng Jiajun set off, Dong'er silently followed all the way.

Later, a soldier found her and told Zheng Chenggong.

After Zheng Chenggong asked people to bring her up, no matter how Zheng Chenggong persuaded or even scolded, Dong'er had a cold face and didn't say a word.

But when Zheng Jiajun set off again, she followed silently. In the end, Zheng Chenggong, who couldn't bear to order to drive away this poor little girl, had to take Dong'er with him!
