With the help of the stars and the moon, Chen Ping, Li Yingxing and Shifu Bai went straight to the post road, silent all the way, the horseshoe and donkey's paws hit the ground, beating everyone's chests like a drum hammer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a few hours, everyone got off the post road, followed the path along Tushui, and arrived outside Xiatu Village.

Liuhe Mountain lurked beside it, frogs chirped, insects made noise, and several wolves howled and dogs barked.

Chen Ping lifted the reins of the horse, called out, and then turned the horse's head: "I received a secret report that Chen Shirun of Xiatu Village secretly hid weapons and plotted to rebel." As a meritorious minister, he was awarded the emperor's favor and awarded the title of governor of the capital, but he did not repay the country's kindness, but was quite resentful of the emperor. Today we are going to arrest the traitor, and if there is resistance, we will kill him. ”

Li Yingxing knew about Chen Ping's plan, and Hangou's conscription was over yesterday, so Li Yingxing sent someone to report to Chen Ping two days earlier, and then he led Xu Wei to rush back one step ahead of the conscription.

On the way, he did not tell Xu Wei and the others what they were talking about, and at this time, when he heard Chen Ping say this, he finally knew what happened and was a little shocked.

Twenty years after the emperor's opening, four years of Renshou, and more than 20 years since the founding of the country. When the first emperor ascended the throne, there was a rebellion, Wei Chi Yuan, Wang Qian and others rebelled, together in Xiangzhou, together in Yizhou, which had a profound impact, but it was still pacified. went south to destroy Chen, all the way like a bamboo, captured Chen Shubao alive, and unified the world.

After that, there were sporadic rebellions, but they were generally stable, and during the Renshou period, except for the Turks and Tuyuhun occasionally invaded the border, the inner border was already peaceful, but this would be a rebellion.

Xu Wei and the others were shocked when they heard the news suddenly, and they were not calm inside, and they directly expressed it on their faces.

Rushed all the way, it was for this matter.

"After the ditch is completed, the emperor will lead hundreds of officials to inspect Jiangdu in a few days, but the thief Chen Shirun wants to take advantage of the gap to plot chaos. The torch was held high, and the white faces of the crowd fell in Chen Ping's eyes, some were frightened, some were suspicious, and some were worried, when they heard the four words of meritorious service and reward, everyone's eyes were clearly flashing with joy, Chen Ping suppressed his voice and said in a low voice, "Are you willing to capture Chen Shirun's thief with me and receive a reward for meritorious service?" ”

"Meritorious service is rewarded." Liu Zhuangshi picked up the long knife and raised it.

"Catch the thief and be rewarded for meritorious service." The rest of the crowd responded.

Chen Ping nodded, and glanced at Li Yingxing, the two of them were not calm in their hearts, and they were coerced by everyone Bai Zhi, and only then did they inform the reason, if someone stood up against it, after all, it would be influential.

But the good thing is that everything is going well.

In the distance, the cottages of Xiatu Village were scattered in the dark, and Chen Ping placed the horses and donkeys at the brick kiln to levy forced labor, and now the brick kiln has also stopped.

Chen Shirun was originally a village soldier, and there were brave retinues around him, so he could only outwit him, not be reckless.

By the light of the fire, Chen Ping picked up a wooden stick casually, drew the layout of Chen Moisten's house on the ground, and arranged: "There is an internal response in Chen Moisten's house, and when you can do it, don't hurt your own people." Liu Zhuangshi, Tang Yuming, the two of you are guarding the side door on the east side of the house. Xu Wei, Wen Xiaohai, the two of you are guarding the side door to the west. Xia Liang, Yang Xianle, the two of you are guarding the back door. The others entered with me through the main entrance, and when they saw someone, they were tied up, and if anyone resisted, they would be guilty of rebellion. No one is allowed to leave the house. Do you understand? ”

If you resist the crime of treason, you should be killed.

"Understood." Everyone nodded.

Chen Ping made a move, and immediately rushed to Chen Shirun's house in Xia Tu Village, followed by Li Yingxing, Xu Wei, Liu Zhuangshi, Xia Liang and other Bai Zhi followed closely.

Late at night, the villagers were already asleep.

The shadow of the house, the haystack, and a figure ran over from the corner in front, and Chen Ping waved his hand to signal Li Yingxing and the others behind him to calm down: "My own people." ”

The person who came was not tall and a little thin, and it was Lai Pingdong who had been waiting for Chen Ping in the village: "Chen Shirun is asleep, and they are answering inside." ”

"Okay, let's go." Chen Ping nodded.

After passing around a few houses, I finally saw the house in front, with its high walls, wide main entrance, and deep verandah courtyard.

Lai Pingdong and Chen Ping glanced at each other, then walked to the front door and lightly buckled a few times. The courtyard door opened from the inside, revealing two figures.

Chen Ping looked at Liu Zhuangshi, Xu Wei, and Xia Liang, and the three of them understood, and along the root of the courtyard wall, they cautiously went to the side door and the backyard cat.

Zhang Shan'an was at the entrance of the hall, and in the room was Chen Shirun, and there were two women, all of whom were his concubines. At night, I drank a lot of wine and entangled with two women for a while, which would be a deep sleep. Guarding the door, Tan Zhu, who was the internal response, whispered to Chen Ping about the situation inside, and after Chen Ping and others entered the courtyard door, he gently dropped the door bolt.

The torches had been extinguished, and inside the courtyard gate, there was a black shadow, a guard dog, with its head twisted.

Seeing Chen Ping's gaze falling on it, Tan Zhu's voice was slightly gloomy: "I haven't been used to seeing this guard dog for a long time, every time I enter the gate of this courtyard, I bark, and I almost bite me several times." I just killed it today, and when the day dawns, stew a pot of dog meat. ”

In the courtyard, the slave maid and maid had also rested, but the maid didn't care, and Chen Ping, the outer house where the five slaves were resting and sleeping, arranged for two people to go over.

In the dark, there may be providence, Chen Shirun is powerful in the village, bullying men and women, having a wife in one room, and several concubines, looking for joy every day, but several women's stomachs did not move, and Chen Shirun did not give birth to seeds.

In the house, in addition to slaves and slaves, Chen Shirun raised more than a dozen people, most of whom were village soldiers in Ping Chen, fierce and stubborn, doing nothing in the village, and causing a lot of trouble on weekdays.

Relying on the ferocity, and with the care of Xue Xiong in the county, the oppressed people in the village can only swallow their anger, and try to avoid these people on weekdays.

These people were raised by Chen Shirun as a private soldier.

"Li Yingxing, you take someone to the wing." Chen Ping instructed, when in the brick kiln, that group of people can still suppress their temper, but this will be different, it may be to work hard, Li Yingxing himself has some martial arts, he has been a county lieutenant, and Zhu Xie and Guan Chong have also faced each other, "Tan Zhu, you are leading in front." Be careful, these people used to be village soldiers, stubborn and ferocious, and they were negligent. ”

Fifteen Bai Zhi, although he is responsible for the pursuit of Liuhe County, similar to the errand of the officials, there are only a few people who kill thieves with their own hands. There is not much difference between Ding Fu from the same village, Chen Ping told him again and again.

"Don't worry, you'll be careful." Li Yingxing knew the seriousness of the matter, this matter had been discussed with Chen Ping, at this time, it was inevitable that he was a little apprehensive in his heart, if he made a wrong move, his net worth and his life might be lost here, so he turned his head and told the seven white straights around him, "My eyes are wide, don't let people run away." ”

The house was quiet, and Tan Zhu led Li Yingxing to the wing room.

Zhang Shan'an, Tan Zhu, Chen Jiu, the three of them were the people who made trouble in the brick kiln last time, and with a bitter meal, they succeeded in entering Chen Shirun's house.

Different Zhang Shan'an, Tan Zhu two, Chen Jiu is a native of Xiatu Village, and Chen Shirun is a township soldier together, the relationship is very good, after returning to the village, Chen Jiu married a wife, originally had a son and a daughter, a few years ago, found that his son died in the mountains, and the woman disappeared without a trace.

Like Zhang Shan'an, Chen Jiu's children were all killed by Chen Shirun, and his daughter's body was smeared in water.

Attacking the wives and daughters of the people around him, this Chen Shirun is really psychologically perverted.

"Can you leave no one alive?" When he arrived outside the door, Chen Jiu took out a long knife from the courtyard rockery, held it in his hand, glanced at Zhang Shan'an who was guarding the door, and then turned his head and asked Chen Ping in a low voice.

Gritted teeth, low voice. (To be continued.) )
