Nine women, a few more than Chen Ping received, it seems that this gang of thieves not only kidnapped the family of the merchants, but most of them also kidnapped women from other places. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Let's go over and see, the vigilance in the mountains can't be relaxed, there may be thieves hidden in the grass and ditches, we must be careful." Chen Ping reminded Liu Zhuangshi, and then entered Duliang Station with Shan Xiongxin.

In the hall of the inn, there were wounded guards, and the smell of blood was permeating. Seeing Chen Ping come in, the guards nodded and saluted, and it was the injured one who greeted Chen Ping at the same time.

Chen Ping's return salute one by one, just glanced at it, and the injured people were probably no less than thirty or forty. Several seriously injured people were lying on the ground, motionless.

"It's on the second floor, I'll take you up." Cao Ming handed a roll of white gauze in his hand to the guard beside him and led the way in front of Chen Ping.

The three went upstairs and stopped outside a room.

"Inside, stimulated, I asked a few village women to help take care of it." Cao Ming said with Chen Ping, "Just rescued, there are two people who can't think about it, looking for a short view, and people are stopped, so you need to be careful." ”

Nodding, Chen Ping knocked on the door, and heard the response inside, this is to push the door in.

Unlike in the lobby, the room was very quiet, several women sat on the floor, their eyes glazed over, all of them were wounded, one of them had bruised and swollen face, his hair was all broken, and his lips were blurred with flesh and blood.

Seeing Chen Ping come in, several people raised their eyes, and continued to bow their heads and cry, and then there were several others, who were strongly stimulated and did not move.

"They were all taken captive by thieves?" Seeing the appearance of several people, Shan Xiongxin was also indignant and asked.

Before Chen Ping could reply, a village woman who was squatting on the ground, carrying a meal and preparing to feed people, retracted her hand and scolded: "Those beasts are simply not human. How can there be such a thing for people? It's really pitiful, covered in wounds. None of them is good, and people are tortured like this, even if they are fed, they refuse to eat a bite. ”

"I don't have the face to go back, I just want to see those thieves die with my own eyes. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, let me die. "The reputation is damaged, although it is not to the extent of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but after all, it is disgraceful, a woman muttered, suddenly got up, and slammed into the table.

The thick wooden table, which was untouchable at this time, hit it strongly, and the woman's head immediately bulged with bruises.

The table shook, and the chopsticks on top of it fell.

This time, it's not light.

The woman raised her head and was about to hit it again, but Chen Ping took the lead and stopped: "I saved you, not for you to seek death." If you die like this, what will happen to your family? What about the children in the family? ”

This woman, who was in her thirties, was already married, and when she heard this, she cried out and cried, "I am like this, where can I see my children?" How can I go back? ”

Chen Ping said softly: "It's not your fault, it's my fault, I didn't come to rescue you earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have let you suffer like this." Fortunately, the thief has finally been caught, and you are fine. People are here, everything is fine, live well, raise children, let them go to school, and be good people. Don't worry, I'll inform you and your family, and if they don't want you to wait, I will! Go back with me, go back to Baitu Village, people will have hope if they live. ”

Comforted these women, instructed the village women to take good care of them, Chen Ping went down, and asked Cao Ming to invite a few more village women to take care of them.

"Do you still insist on not searching the mountain?" Chen Ping asked.

"Among the thieves are good men, and they are also coerced." Shan Xiongxin didn't insist anymore, but he still didn't want to involve the innocent.

"Soushan is to punish the thief who has blood on his hands. If it is really found that he was coerced, he will reduce the punishment by one point. Chen Ping said.

Shan Xiongxin was relieved and got on the horse: "I'll go and gather the villagers and search the mountain with Chen Dudu." ”

"Thank you." Chen Ping said, "When this matter is over, I must invite you to have a drink." ”

"Well, I have heard of the name of Chen Dudu for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really like a rumor, which is very impressive." Shan Xiongxin replied with a smile, then took the reins and went to Shan Township to summon people.

After Shan Xiongxin left, Chen Ping entered the post and asked about the casualties of the guards.

"Eight people died, two of whom died after being carried down the mountain. Three others were seriously injured, and thirty or forty were lightly injured. Chen Jiudao, his tone was a little dull, "This is the first time, the casualties are a bit large, and the thieves are several times more than us." ”

The words behind this were words of comfort when he saw Chen Ping's face was not good.

However, Chen Ping also knew that Chen Jiu was not wrong, after all, he had only trained for about ten days, and most of them had been shaving in the ground, and their strength might not be as bad as those thieves, after all, they were all carefully selected by Chen Ping.

But on the battlefield, strong strength does not necessarily win, momentum is more important. That gang of thieves, who came from the north, plundered the passing merchants, and attacked the county seat, compared to Chen Ping, they had more courage.

"The brothers who died must be written down and transported back to Liuhe County. The family should also be given a pension, and the injured should also be taken care of and recuperated. Chen Ping said, "You don't have to be responsible for this matter, when you return to the county, I will discuss with Chen Yuanliang." However, the money for the pension, you can make a proposal. ”

As the two were talking, there was a noise outside the station, and Chen Ping looked back, but it was Yuzan and Wang Renze who had arrived.

"Chen Dudu is really brave and caught the thief?" Fish praised.

Previously, a knight went to tell Yu Zan, Yu Zan still didn't believe it, with Wang Renze's lesson, Yu Zan cautiously sent a person to come with him to investigate, and saw that Chen Ping really caught the thief, this is the person who led the person over.

The thieves who had been caught earlier were all tied up with ropes and connected together, watched by a team of guards.

"Those are thieves, soaking wet, the person squatting on the ground is the head of the thief, Zhang Jizhen, who calls himself the Buddha Shuai." Chen Ping pointed to the side of the post road, under an elm tree, these people were the leaders of the thieves, and they were singled out.

"Okay, very good, Chen Dudu is really a young hero, since he caught the thief, let's go back." Yu Zan laughed.

This trip, I thought it was for nothing, and I damaged Wang Renze's people and horses, and I would definitely be punished when I went back, and Yu Zan him, the general of the chariot and cavalry, was probably at the end, but he didn't think that Chen Ping killed this gang of thieves with a hundred people, but he didn't need to be punished, but he made a contribution.

"I can make this contribution and defeat and capture the thieves, I can't do without your command General Yu, I should be grateful to General Yu." Chen Ping is not stupid, at this time, the credit should be taken care of by Yuzan.

This statement made Yu Zan very satisfied, and when he looked at Chen Ping, he felt even more comfortable, and nodded: "Although General Ben is in command in the rear, it is inseparable from Chen Dudu's heroic fight." Don't worry, I will definitely tell General Zhou the truth about your merits, and I can't let you suffer. ”

Yu Zan's statement was in line with Chen Ping's wishes, but beside Yu Zan, Wang Renze's face was gloomy and ugly. (To be continued.) )
