Chapter Seventy-One: The Blacksmith's Guess
After a stick of incense, the fighting in the courtyard ended, and Xiang Yong won a complete victory at the cost of only four casualties.
Huang Hu, who was covered in blood, still had an unfinished face, "There are too few thieves, it's not fun!" ”
Wang Teng didn't bother to refute, "Let's see if there is anything to prove the identity on the corpse."
Suddenly, Huang Degong came to report, "Except for weapons, these guys didn't bring anything."
This is a group of dead soldiers, looking at the entire Guangling City, except for Fan Yongdou, who else has this energy?
Wang Teng knew in his heart, "Tomorrow they will be transported outside the city to dig up a gong and bury them."
Huang Hu was very unhappy, "Feed the wild dogs, and dig holes for them, isn't it too cheap for them?" ”
Wang Teng felt that it was necessary to popularize scientific knowledge, "The weather is so hot outside, once the corpse decomposes, it is very likely to cause a plague, do you want the people of the entire Guangling City to bury them?" ”
Pestilence?
For the Ming Dynasty, this was an incurable disease.
Huang Hu shuddered, "Buryed, you must dig deeper, damn it, you can't be harmed by these bastards."
Dead people can hurt people!
It was the first time for the villagers around to hear this truth, after all, it was a matter of life and death, and no one dared to slack off.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't get out of the city after dark, maybe the villagers would have transported the corpses out overnight.
In Wang Teng's house, the blazing brazier lit up all night, people came and went in the courtyard, the injured villager Yong was treated as soon as possible, and the rest gathered the corpses and weapons in different categories.
After fighting all night, there is always something to pay off.
The clothes of the dead were not a good thing, but they had good weapons in their hands.
At this moment, Wang Teng said loudly: "Brothers, it's hard work, I, Wang Teng, have never treated my brothers badly, and those who participated in the battle tonight will each be rewarded with five hundred." ”
Five hundred copper coins can buy a stone of rice, or the equivalent value, which is really a heavy reward for the villagers.
"Thank you, sir!"
Who doesn't like such a promising boss, who treats people generously, but is generous?
At the very least, more than 60 veterans have been completely convinced.
The newly recruited Xiangyong had only heard of Wang Teng's name, and if he wanted to subdue them, he still needed a subtle process.
Twenty dead soldiers with strong martial arts, if they hadn't fallen into Wang Teng's carefully planned trap, there would still be ambiguity between who would win and who would lose.
You have to train harder!
Wang Teng secretly made up his mind, now that the manpower has been recruited, the most important thing next is to train the troops.
Only by training a strong army can we survive in this chaotic era.
"Your Excellency!"
Not long after, Yu Xiang came to Wang Teng.
"Huh? How did you get out? ”
Yu Xiang's face was full of self-blame, "My lord, you hand me over, as long as you take care of Wan'er for me, I will die without regrets."
Wang Teng scolded with a straight face, "What are you talking about? Am I a person who is afraid of things? ”
"However, if Fan can't see me, he won't give up."
"Wrong, where do you see where they are here to rob people? They're here to kill!
Yu Xiang instantly realized, "Are they for that thing?" ”
"Yes, the more nervous Fan Yongdou is, the more it proves the importance of that letter, you put your heart in your stomach, as long as I am here, no one can touch you"
Yu Xiang was annoyed, "My lord, I feel like a waste, I can't do anything, and I have caused trouble three times and twice."
Wang Teng was relieved, "It's not your fault, you just happened to be at the right time, don't think so much, your task now is to take care of your injuries, and I still need you to do things after your injuries are healed."
Yu Xiang cheered up, "Even if the adult commands, the villain will not give up."
"Don't worry, I'll talk about it when you're healed"
Yu Xiang had no choice but to agree.
After sending away the aftermath, Wang Teng secretly thought to himself, what was written in the letter? Is it worth the price that Fan Yongdou paid for twenty dead soldiers?
During the day, Wang Teng had already asked, and no one in the village knew Manchu, that is, if you want to solve the mystery of the letter, you have to think of other ways.
After dawn, it was time to hand over the silver taels and rice millet, and Wang Teng was about to rest for a while, when Blacksmith Zhang came on foot, "My lord."
"What's wrong?"
"Just now, some villagers recognized it, and one of the thieves in this gang was the one who attacked Dingjiazhuang last night."
Wang Teng's heart jumped, good guy, there is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.
In the battle of Dingjiazhuang, Fan Yongdou's dead soldiers not only robbed Ding He, but also killed more than a dozen villagers.
These days, Wang Teng has been thinking about how to take revenge, who would have thought that these bastards would be sent to the door.
"Don't be busy burying it yet, send someone to talk to Yi Qianhu early tomorrow morning, and say that I have caught a few rogues and asked him to send someone to take the head"
"Whoa!"
If it is an ordinary dead soldier, maybe he can get a way to die in the ground, but for the murderers of Xiang Yong, Wang Teng just wants them to die without a corpse!
Blacksmith Zhang had no objection, he wanted to kill all his enemies.
However, I heard that the Fan family has been released from the county jail, why is this?
"My lord, Fan Yongdou will be revenged, you have to be more careful."
Wang Teng smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, the Fan family is unpopular, in this Guangling City, I'm not afraid of him!" ”
"Fan has always been the master who refuses to suffer, and this time, I always feel that he is a little anxious"
"You're saying Fan has other troubles?"
Blacksmith Zhang thought deeply, "Yes, what is the most requested thing by Fan Yongdou this time?" ”
"Thousands of stones of grain in Fan's Merchant Inn"
Blacksmith Zhang said in a low voice, "The facts have proved that Ding He is an accomplice of the Fan family, and now, Ding He is dead, and the business road outside the Saiwai is still there, who do you think will want these grains?" ”
Wang Teng's eyes flashed, "Except for the Mongols, they are Jurchens, damn it, this Fan Yongdou really deserves to die."
Blacksmith Zhang regretted, "It's a pity that we have no evidence, we can only speculate out of thin air, otherwise, we will report to the imperial court, dispatch a large army, and arrest them for personal stolen goods."
Wang Teng patted the letter in his arms and said: "I have a Manchurian letter here, no one can read it, I estimate that this is the certificate of Fan Yongdou's handover."
"My lord, I know a person who knows Manchu."
"Oh? Who is this person? Where is it now? ”
"This person is Lord Wei's master"
"Oh? How do you know? ”
"I heard that when the Tartars invaded, it was Master Qin who used Manchu to deceive the Tartars"
Wang Teng was very surprised, "There are such allusions? Why haven't I heard of it? ”
Blacksmith Zhang laughed, "During that time, we were fleeing for our lives on the grassland, so naturally we didn't know."
Wang Teng had made up his mind, he wanted to visit Master Qin overnight.
