Team Fu was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly: "Well, it doesn't matter, I think what you said has some truth, the original general didn't expect so many people to hide and not pay food, if you continue to kill like this, when all the searches are completed, I am afraid that hundreds of people will be killed, and now the strong enemy is around, so it is indeed a bit ......, if you don't kill, then what tricks do you have?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, judging from the style of this great general, he is stubborn, resolute, and very strong, he is definitely not a master who can listen to people's words, he must have his own opinions, the so-called loyalty is against his ears, if he thinks he is smart and has some small ideas to let him stop killing, maybe it will backfire, but it will anger him, and he can't help but kill more fiercely, and he will be jealous of himself when he returns, it will be miserable.

However, Team Fu was asking, and he couldn't help but answer. Zuo Shaoyang pretended to groan, and after a while, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "These Diao people, resist the general's orders, do not sell food, and are guilty of collaborating with the enemy, and should be beheaded, but once the number of people killed is too large, it is easy to cause a civil uprising, it is really a dilemma, I think about it, and I can't think of any way, alas, the general is wise and martial, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away, he must have already seen the opportunity and is confident, as long as we work together to follow the general's orders, where is the general pointing, We will kill wherever we go, and we will be victorious and invincible. Hey hey"

Team Fu smiled: "Zuo Gongzi is very good at talking, hehe." ”

As he spoke, he returned to the door of Guizhi Hall. Zuo Gui and the others heard the sound of drums, and they had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw him coming back, Bai Zhihan and Miao Peilan hurriedly stepped forward to help the soldiers help him dismount and help him walk up the bluestone steps. A soldier took the purse and put it at Zuo Shaoyang's feet.

Team Fu was instructing the soldiers to send the plaque into the lobby of Guizhi Hall, and was about to say goodbye, when the captain who had been waiting next to him in charge of this piece of grain collection stepped forward and said to Team Fu with a smile: "Lord Team Zheng, the small one has an urgent matter to report to you." ”

"What's the matter?" Team Fu is on the right path.

The lieutenant looked at Zuo Shaoyang sideways, laughed dryly, turned his head, and said to Team Fu: "Lord Team Zheng, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Team Fu also glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, and said sharply to the captain: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" I don't have time to talk to you! ”

"Yes, yes!" The lieutenant was a little embarrassed, glanced at Zuo Shaoyang again, and then said in a low voice: "Just now, we caught an old man who sold grain and searched his house, the whole family has a total of twenty people, but there are twenty-five buckets of grain, he took ten buckets to sell, and one bucket asked for twenty-five yuan!" We caught and wanted to cut off the heads of their whole family, and the old man cried and said, why don't they cut off their heads when they sell them, but he wants to cut off their heads when they sell them. The little one asked him who sold it? He said that the grain had been bought from someone else, and that if he wanted to cut it, he should cut it together. I asked him who that man was, and he said ......, and he said yes......"

"Who is it? Say it? ”

The captain glanced at Zuo Shaoyang nervously again, and then said with a sad face: "This old man said that Guizhitang Zuo Gongzi sold it to him......"

Zuo Shaoyang's heart was cold, and he immediately understood that it must be Zhao Sanniang's father-in-law, an old bastard, who betrayed him! Zuo Gui's face turned pale with fright, and Liang was even more frightened to the point that his legs were weak, and his body collapsed. Thanks to Miao's mother supporting her on the side, she didn't fall.

Bai Zhihan didn't participate in this matter, she didn't know what was going on, and she hadn't reflected it for a while. Miao Peilan, who was behind her, trembled, shrank back, and quickly got into the kitchen, holding a firewood knife in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, hiding behind her back, and quickly returned to Zuo Shaoyang, staring nervously at Fu Teamzheng under the steps.

Quietly in the field, Team Fu was slowly asking, "When did he say that Zuo Gongzi sold it to him?" ”

"...... the other day"

Syllable!

Team Fu raised his hand and slapped the captain hard, saying, "Bastard! The other day? The grain requisition order was issued yesterday! The general said that he was not to blame for buying and selling grain before the grain requisition order. After that, the people who buy and sell the grain are beheaded, do you have ears on your ass? ”

"Yes, yes!" The lieutenant covered his face and said with a huff.

Team Fu said sharply again: "This old man is so dead that he opens his mouth to confess indiscriminately, do you believe such words?" Lao Tzu told you to protect Guizhitang, but you went to listen to these nonsense, beware that Lao Tzu asked for your head first! ”

The lieutenant covered his face and nodded vigorously to apologize: "Yes, yes, the little one knows that he is wrong, and the little one will go back and break the old guy's family into pieces!" ”

"Humph! Why don't you go now? ”

"Yes, yes!" Captain Mo turned around to run, but was stopped by Team Fu again: "Wait! ”

The lieutenant hurriedly turned around: "The team still has orders?" ”

"In the future, if you hear the words of the left prince of Guizhitang, no matter who it is, you will cut off your head directly, and you don't need to report it again. Did you hear that? ”

"Yes! The little one got it. The lieutenant covered his face and turned around and ran again.

"Stop! Come back! Team Fu said again.

The lieutenant hurriedly turned around and ran back, hunching his waist and looking at Fu Teamzheng.

Team Fu glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, pondered for a moment, and said, "Just now, Zuo Gongzi saw a lot of families being beheaded, especially the old and young women and children were killed, and I couldn't bear it. In this case, just slaughter the old man, and the others will be imprisoned for the time being, and I will return to the general to decide." ”

"Yes!"

The captain didn't dare to leave, for fear that Team Fu would still have something to say, so he stood there stunned.

Sure enough, Team Fu hesitated for a moment, but still said in a low voice: "Go and call me the soldiers who are looking for food!" Just go! ”

The lieutenant agreed, turned around and ran away.

Team Fu was looking at Zuo Shaoyang and slowly walked up the steps, and the Zuo family looked at him nervously, not knowing what he would do with this matter.

Team Fu went straight into the pharmacy, looked at every room, and nodded: "The family is very poor." ”

Zuo Gui's father followed behind his ass and laughed: "Yes, my lord." ”

Team Fu stood still, beckoned Zuo Shaoyang over, and asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you, does your family have any surplus food beyond the limited ration?" - Don't worry, if you really have surplus food to hide, give it to me, I can take it back, the money is indispensable to you, and I will not cut off your head and beat your ass. Because you are a model for supporting the army of the great general, this banner cannot be overturned. Hey hey"

Father Zuo Gui and Zuo Shaoyang glanced at each other and shook their heads together. Zuo Gui's father said: "My lord, our family is so poor, there is no food at home, and there is really no money to buy more surplus food." ”

The smile on Team Fu's face disappeared, and he said coldly: "What if my people find out?" ”

Zuo Gui's father was confident at the moment, and made a gesture on his neck: "You cut off my head!" ”

"Hehe," Team Fu glanced at the room and said slowly: "Some people say that you sell grain, although it was before the ban was issued, the past is not to blame, but it also proves that you have food, the original general was worried that you would not have food, so he gave you grain, and asked you to sell it to the army, pretending." Now, hehe, I still have some faith in that old man's words, and people won't frame you for no reason. You probably do have food in hiding, and I'll have to search for it and give an account. You can rest assured, if I really find out the food, I won't do anything to you, I said, you are a model set by the general to support the army, this banner can't fall, if it falls, then the general doesn't slap himself? Hehe, but I have to take the food back with me, and I will say that you took the initiative to donate it to the army, and your model of supporting the army will be even more brilliant. Hehe--I'll tell you the truth, there is a real shortage of food in the army, and there is no way to do it. ”

Father Zuogui listened with a smile and nodded: "My lord is no longer right, even if you search, the dog is bloody on the battlefield, and you can treat the wounded, you can do without your life, how can you care about this food?" There are three buckets of rations at home, which were sent by his brother-in-law in Yamen a few days ago. I was reluctant to eat it, so I kept it for the most difficult time. Since the army is so difficult, then these three buckets of rations, the team is also taking away. The general is so loving that he canonized us as a 'model for supporting the army', so we have to be worthy of this title. ”

Seeing that he was so calm, Team Fu said with a smile: "What Lao Langzhong said is that your deeds of supporting the army are indeed serious, and the hearts of the soldiers of the whole army are warm, and there is no fraud in the slightest." It's also routine for me to search your home, rest assured, the three buckets of rations will not touch a grain of rice for you, after the search, if there is really no exceedance, it is best, if there is, you also took the initiative to donate to contribute to the army. ”

At this time, a team of soldiers in charge of searching for food came to the door of the pharmacy and lined up to wait.

Team Fu waved his forehand: "Search it, be careful, break a thing in the 'model's house, I want your head!" ”

The soldiers agreed in fear, and searched carefully.

The food was all large, unlike gold, silver and jewelry, which could not be hidden in small boxes, and the pharmacy was not large, and there was nothing else except medicinal herbs, and it was quickly searched. Naturally, no food was found.

At this moment a few more soldiers entered, carrying a large wooden stake of rammed earth tied to four iron chains, starting from the gate, and in the hall, ramming one after another in the open space of several rooms, two white-bearded soldiers lying on the ground, listening to the sound with their ears close to the ground.

Seeing that Zuo Gui's family was looking at it curiously, Team Fu Zheng smiled a little proudly: "They are using rammed earth stakes to listen to whether there is a hole underneath." As long as there is a secret passage or cellar underneath, you can know by listening to the sound. ”

Zuo Shaoyang's heart is cold again, it seems that the lack of food in the official army has really reached the point of panic, searching for food is exhaustive, and he has to transfer the food away, otherwise, the food hidden in the ground is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the ears of these soldiers.

Soon, the two white-bearded soldiers came out of the concoction room, glanced at Zuo Shaoyang and them, and then said to Fu Team: "Team Zheng, I found a hollow sound in that room, there should be a cellar dug underneath!" ”

Team Fu was grimacing, glanced at Zuo Gui's father, smiled and said slowly: "Didn't you say that there was no surplus food hidden?" ”
