Chapter Twenty-Three: A Life Is Destroyed

The sunset, the hills, the graves.

Liu Shaowu and his younger brother Liu Shaoyi were wrapped in white cloth on their heads, and a large group of people who had died were lying on the ground and weeping in mourning.

Chu Suifeng and the others stood behind them silently, he didn't know much about others, this Liu Shaowu was clearly recorded in history.

Liu Shaowu has a strong temperament, has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and is most unaccustomed to being rich and unkind to oppress the people.

It happened that the landlord fell in love with his family's land that year, and thought of bribing the government to charge Liu Shaowu's father with a crime, seizing the land and forcing people to death.

provoked Liu Shaowu to be furious, rushed into the landlord's house with a knife and killed 28 opponents in a row, and then in order to avoid the pursuit of the government, he hid in the dense forest of Yuyuan.

A few years later, a team of military horses passed through Yuyuan and happened to meet Liu Shaowu who was fetching water by the well, so he shouted at him to fetch water and horses, and promised to pay for his wages.

Liu Shaowu faithfully gave the other party more than a dozen buckets of well water to drink horses, and then asked the other party for money, but the other party played an official temper and scolded Liu Shaowu, the first official not only unreasonable, but also beat people.

Liu Shaowu couldn't bear it anymore and slashed this group of military horse dealers, seized dozens of war horses, and contacted some poor brothers to set up Xiangma to occupy Yuyuan.

As a result of his robbery of the rich and the poor, the ranks of the poor were growing in size, and it is said that there were three or four thousand people.

If such a powerful force is co-opted, it will rise up all of a sudden.

With people, he naturally has the confidence, and there is a glimmer of hope to save Licheng, but from the conversation just now, the other party is still angry about his father's death and the government's pursuit of the government over the years, and refuses to join.

Without the help of the other party, the four hundred remnants of his soldiers alone could not be defended by Licheng, and Shen County, so the other party was an object that must be fought for.

robbed the rich and helped the poor, acted chivalrous and righteous, killed his father's revenge, wanted by the government, and was killed by the Qing soldiers......

Thinking of this, Chu's eyes suddenly lit up and he was waiting to be calculated, only to see a horse coming from a distance.

It was a Mongolian horse with a flecked pattern, and the rider was also very familiar, Ding Keze.

It turned out that after Chu Suifeng talked with Liu Shaowu, he came up with the idea of recruiting the other party, so he sent Ding Keze, a talent from Yibang, to lead sixty or seventy cavalry to Shen County to explore the road first, and at this moment Ding Keze came back presumably to report the local situation.

Chu Suifeng squinted and glanced back at Liu Shaowu, who was still summoning the spirits of his mother and sister according to local customs with hundreds of his subordinates, so he beckoned to Ding Keze, who was panting.

The latter rolled his saddle and dismounted, patted the horse's back, and handed the reins to a soldier beside him, who pulled the white spewing horse to rest.

Ding Keze wiped the sweat on his head and panted and said:

"Lord Qianhu, ran away, and the rabbit cubs in Shen County left the city and ran away with the people."

After speaking, he gasped for breath, Chu Suifeng took a bowl of hot water from the hand of the junior school next to him and handed it over, Ding Keze took it and poured it down in one gulp.

After drinking, he wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth, shook his head and sighed.

"I rushed to Shen County with Yibaihu, and I collected deserters all the way. These people not only fought with the common people, but also robbed the people, and were slaughtered by two hundred households before they were honest. It's a shame for the common people to see the soldiers scolding them now! ”

Chu Suifeng's eyes flashed, and his eyes dimmed in an instant, ignoring the people who abandoned the city and fled, burning, killing, and looting, what is the difference between this and the Qing soldiers who entered the customs and robbed?

Even worse than the Qing army, which was at least a foreigner.

This is good, your own people bully your own people, a typical nest!

"Where are the deserters?!" Chu bent down with the wind and picked up a dry wood branch from the ground that was not thick or thin, and squeezed out a cold word between his teeth.

Ding Keze was frightened after hearing this, and couldn't help flashing the other party's eyes, although Qianhu is young, he is more ruthless than anyone else, and he will never be soft once he fouls.

Those deserters are more than lucky.

So he replied boldly.

"My lord, that group of soldiers has now been brought to the county seat of Shen County by 100 households, how are you going to clean them up?"

Chu Suifeng smiled faintly after hearing this, patted Ding Keze on the shoulder and said.

"Nothing. Write down their names, and charge them first in the future. ”

Many soldiers, including Xie Qian, trembled all over, and said in their hearts that there is still such a mile?!

Everyone else was beaten violently, and he had to write down his name at any time to face Jing'er.

These goods are unlucky, and they will be ruined for the rest of their lives in his hands.

Chu Suifeng ignored the change in the expressions of the people around him, and asked lightly.

"Have you entered the county seat, how is it inside?"

Ding Keze cleared his throat and talked endlessly about the situation in Shen County, although the Qing soldiers did not come to Shen County, it became a pot of porridge.

After the magistrate summoned the county's officials not to leave without permission, he packed up and fled with his family that night.

The next day, the family found out that there was no county official, and they immediately messed up, and they didn't know who rumored that the Qing soldiers had hit ten miles away from the county seat, causing the officials to flee in a swarm.

As soon as the officers ran away, the soldiers also fled.

When the big families in the city saw it, they also fled with their belongings, so let's say that the entire county town has become a pot of porridge.

Chu Suifeng listened to what the other party said very chaotically, and immediately waved his hand to stop, he asked a few points carefully, Ding Keze answered some and some couldn't, Chu Suifeng knew that things might be more than that.

There is something strange in this, it is likely that the city has been mixed with Manchu spies.

He must quickly lead the team into the city, otherwise Shen County will fall, and Liu Zeqing will be able to make a fuss about cutting off his head.

He muttered for a while, and then ordered someone to summon the Qing prisoner, and the other party would know a thing or two about it.

Soon, the Qing prisoner was escorted up.

Chu Suifeng looked at the person carefully, and it was only half a day's work that the other party went from a human to a ghost.

His hair was mixed with dead grass, his rag-like clothes were covered with dust, his old chain mail had long since been stripped off by someone, his camouflage-like face was frozen blue, and his chapped lips were purple from the cold.

The two Ming soldiers in the back laughed and talked non-stop, Chu Suifeng glared at the two of them a few times in displeasure, and the two of them hid in the distance very interestingly.

Chu Suifeng gently tapped his other hand with a wooden branch and asked coldly.

"What's going on in Shen County?"

A cold wind blew, and the man unconsciously sneezed a few times.

Ding Keze saw that the other party had no rules and kicked him in the crook of the leg, and the man knelt down in front of Chu Suifeng with a cool knock.

"General, can you say it in another place. It's so cold in here. The man pursed his chapped lips twice, and said to Chu Suifeng tremblingly.

The man's eyes were blown by the cold mountain wind, and he couldn't open them, and he didn't know whether he was lost or afraid of the cold wind.

Chu Suifeng looked at the mountain with a gloomy face, and suddenly folded the wooden branch in his hand.

Click!

The branch snapped with a crisp sound.

"That's it!"

The man swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva helplessly, pursed his dry lips and opened his mouth......
