Chapter 55: Redemption
In Zhang Ke's impression, Zhou Langzhong has always been a rich old man with a red face and a clean and clean face, but the head in front of him is messy, his head is bruised, he has no shoes, and his exposed feet are frozen like carrots, not to mention many wolves.
Zhang Ke hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick up Zhou Langzhong, and asked in surprise: "Sir, what's wrong with you, Qiao Gui, you take Mr. Zhou to change a pair of shoes and put on some medicine." ”
"Hey!" Qiao Gui turned around and was about to help Zhou Langzhong down, but Zhou Langzhong grabbed Zhang Ke's arm tightly, and tears fell from his eyes.
"Zhang Erlang, people don't kiss each other, we are all villagers of Daqing Fort, I beg you, find a way to save Daqing Fort!"
Zhou Langzhong's face was full of anxiety, obviously he was not pretending, Zhang Ke was also confused, what could be the matter with Daqing Castle! Even if the Tartars attack Daqing Fort, Hewan Village can hold it, and there is no reason why Daqing Fort can't hold it.
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, if you have something to say, speak slowly!"
At this time, Qiao Tieshan, Qiao Fu, Yue Zixuan, and Wu Boyan had just returned from their pensions, and everyone sat around and listened to Zhou Langzhong's introduction.
"Zhang Erlang, things have to start with Wan Anliang, the son of Wanbaihu, that kid heard that you arrived, first, he was jealous, second, he was afraid, third, third, and he coveted beauty, and he fell ill. Today, I treated Wan Anliang, and when I left the house, I passed by a room and heard someone discussing inside, saying that Taiji would require 300 people and 2,000 taels of silver to withdraw from the army. Then there was the voice of Wan Baichuan, and he said that the people of the villages who had just moved to Daqing Fort, as well as dozens of families in Dongcheng, would be sent outside the city and handed over to the Tartars! ”
Zhou Langzhong said, his eyes stood up: "Is Wan Baichuan still a human, he is a hundred households in Daqing Fort, he doesn't want to protect the people, and he still pushes the villagers to the fire pit!" My father-in-law and in-laws are in Dongcheng, can I watch them die! ”
Qiao Tieshan gritted his teeth and said, "Wan Baichuan is indeed not a thing, Mr. Zhou, how did you get out of the city?" ”
Zhou Langzhong hurriedly said: "When I heard this, I didn't dare to stay longer and left Wanjia immediately." It just so happened that at this time, the Tartars outside were attacking the city from the northwest, and it was a mess, and I went to look for Lord Sun, but his gate was closed. Fortunately, Mr. Xie and I were friends who guarded the southern city, and I saved his mother, and Mr. Xie risked his life to let me out of the city. I was about to go to Zhenyi Fort for help, but I happened to pass by Hewan Village, and I met Mr. Qiao and brought me in. ”
Zhou Langzhong carefully told the story, Zhang Ke and the big guy listened, the more they listened, the more angry they became, Xu Bangyan and Wan Baichuan were a pair of miscellaneous pieces, and the common people were grass mustard in their eyes, and they could be sacrificed at will!
Zhang Ke held back his anger and said, "Big guy, let's sort things out first." ”
Wu Boyan had a quick brain, and he said first: "My lord, the Tartar who entered the Kou this time is the gangster Angai, and he killed him because we escaped and became angry. After our loss of troops, he ran to Daqing Fort, wanting to make up for the loss and ask for money and people. This also makes sense, but there is no bone in the top and bottom of Daqing Fort, and it is up to the Tartars to take what they want! ”
Qiao Tieshan sighed: "These people in our court have long been rotten, Xu Bangyan can hire a mountain tiger to deal with us, let alone the people who betrayed the Great Qing Fort!" ”
Zhou Langzhong didn't know about the Xiashan Tiger yet, and hurriedly asked, "Someone attacked you?" ”
"That's right!" Zhang Ke said with a smile: "Three days ago, a group of bandits came to attack us and were beaten away. Relying on the big guys to fight the same enemy and kill hundreds of Tartars, they will kill back to Daqing Fort in the morning. ”
Thump!
Zhou Langzhong knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed. If he just wanted to use Zhang Ke's power to move the rescue troops before, at this time, Zhou Langzhong put all his hopes on Zhang Ke. Looking at these generals around, which one has the ability to kill hundreds of Tartars!
"Zhang Erlang, someone Zhou begged you on behalf of the villagers of Daqing Fort, you must not die without help!"
"Mr. Zhou, please hurry up, I will do my best, but this matter is not easy."
Zhou Langzhong's eyes suddenly widened, and he said with a calm face: "Zhang Ke, have you become an official and changed your temperament, and learned the trick of shirking, can you kill more than a hundred Tartars, and just drive the soldiers over to it!" ”
Zhang Ke couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
Qiao Tieshan said unhappily: "Zhou Langzhong, you care about the villagers, I, Qiao Tieshan, am also from Daqing Fort, but this matter is really not that simple." We have just been training for less than ten days, and we can only fight to the death with the Tartars with the protection of the city walls, and if we drive into the field and the Tartar cavalry rushes, we may not be able to hold even a round. ”
At this moment, Zhou Langzhong was also dumbfounded, he didn't know anything about the battle.
"Can't you drive into Daqing Fort, Daqing Fort also has city walls, and there are many troops, can't you stop the Tartars?"
Zhang Ke suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Zhou, Xu Bangyan and Wan Baichuan in the Daqing Fort may hate Zhang Ke more than the Tartars, they want to kill the good and take the risk, and they are worried that I will poke them out, so they colluded with the bandits, and now in order to buy the Tartars, they actually betrayed the people of the Daqing Fort, and the evil deeds are heinous." If you let the above know, ten heads are not enough to kill! ”
When Zhou Langzhong heard this, half of his soul flew away, he sat on the edge of the kang in a daze, and suddenly raised his slap and slapped his face fiercely.
"It's all my uselessness, it's all my incompetence! Hard-working girl, Dad can't save you! ”
Looking at Zhou Langzhong's red and swollen cheeks, the big guy's face was also burning, they were also soldiers, and even slaves in the hands of the Tartars, how could they bear to watch others jump into the fire pit!
The big guys looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke sighed and said, "Mr. Zhou, I Zhang Ke will definitely save people, but what to do, I have to think about it." A hard attack will definitely not work, and we don't have the strength to do it, so we can only outwit it! By the way, Mr. Zhou, who knows that Xu Bangyan wants to betray the people? ”
"This, they discussed it in the secret room, I heard it by chance, and when I found that Master Sun was not there, I immediately went out of the city and didn't even return home."
Zhang Ke frowned, walked around the ground twice, and suddenly shook his head.
"That's not right!"
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "Xu Bangyan has done things to hide from everyone, but he can't hide it from the head snake!" ”
Qiao Tieshan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, the preparation of Daqing Fort is still Sun Youguang, he must know." However, with Sun Youguang's temperament, even if he knew, he would not come out to stop him, after all, it would be good for him if the Tartar was gone. ”
Zhang Ke said with a smile: "The strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, as long as Sun Youguang can help, there is still something to be done." Mr. Zhou, can you go back to Daqing Fort immediately, know how to reason and move with affection, and let Sun Youguang cooperate. ”
Zhou Langzhong suddenly stood up and said, "Save your family, save your fellow villagers, I will never give up!" ”
Zhang Ke nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "With Lord Sun as the internal response, if we stretch out a hand again, the villagers of Daqing Fort will be saved." Yue Zixuan, you and Qiao Fu will select fifty soldiers with the best riding skills and prepare for battle immediately. ”
"Yes!" They surrendered.
Zhang Ke and Qiao Tieshan sent Zhou Langzhong out of the village together, and repeatedly told him what he should say, how many years Zhou Langzhong has practiced medicine, and he is also well-informed, and he wrote them down one by one.
Qiao Gui personally sent him around the camp of the Tartars in the northwest and came to the south city, which was still three miles away, Qiao Gui said goodbye, Zhou Langzhong looked around and saw that there was no movement, stepped away from his old legs, and ran to the city with a smoke, he swore that he had never run so fast in his life!
"Is Mr. Xie still there, I'm back!"
Xie Zongqi was startled, lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Zhou, you don't want to die?" ”
"Xie Zongqi, don't say anything, the lives of the villagers are in your hands, pull me up quickly, I want to see Lord Beiyu."
Xie Zongqi looked around, Xu Bangyan's people had just passed, he secretly asked his subordinates to tie down a basket, and Zhou Langzhong returned to Daqing Fort.
"Mr. Zhou, have you found a rescuer?"
Zhou Langzhong nodded, "Xie Zongqi, three generations of your family have lived in Daqing Fort, for the sake of our fellow villagers, you have to put your conscience right!" ”
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I will do my best, but I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything!"
"If you want, when people come into town in the evening, you can let them in."
Xie Zongqi suddenly patted his chest and said: "There is no problem with this, it must be done!" ”
Zhou Langzhong explained a few words, and immediately ran down the alley to Sun Youguang's house.
Bang Bang Bang!
"Open the door, open the door!" No one even answered after calling twice, and Zhou Lang sneered in the center: Zhang Erlang is indeed extraordinary!
He took out a name card from his arms, sent it in along the crack of the door, and waited for less than half a minute, when suddenly the corner door opened, and Sun Youguang's fat head poked out.
"Mr. Zhou, come in."
"Humph!" Zhou Langzhong sneered and strode in. Sun Youguang looked embarrassed, and explained as he walked: "Mr. Zhou, the old man is indeed sick, and the illness is not light......
"Your Excellency is sick, but you are sick of madness!" Zhou Langzhong scolded: "Sit back and watch Xu Bangyan and Wan Baichuan behave nonsense, are you still the imperial officer of the Great Qing Fort, are you still worthy of the villagers?" ”
Sun Youguang's face was full of shame, and he could only say: "The old man is also forced to be helpless, they have more soldiers than me, and their power is greater than mine, and the old man has to let it go." ”
"Master Sun, to be polite, do you follow them to the Nine Clans? I have secretly run to Hewan Village for this matter, and sued Zhang Erlang, he knows Lord Wang Huazhen, as long as you poke it out, as a reserve, you are the lord of a castle, can the court let you go? ”
Sun Youguang's head was sweating, his face was fat, and in the morning, the Tartars suddenly killed, and attacked the city for an hour, and the city suffered heavy losses. As a result, Xu Bangyan and Wan Baichuan found him and said that as long as they could pay two thousand taels of silver and three hundred people, they could make the Tartars retreat.
Lao Sun also knew that betraying the people would not work, but he was really afraid that the Tartars would come in, and he didn't dare to offend Xu Bangyan.
But when Sun Youguang saw Zhou Langzhong coming over with Zhang Ke's name, he was really scared, if Zhang Ke knew about this kind of ugly thing, he was afraid that the court would punish his nine clans!
"Mr. Zhou, you are a bad old man!"
Zhou Langzhong smiled slightly: "Lord Sun, I will pass on a sentence from Zhang Erlang, it is your duty to protect the land and protect the people, and to save the people of Daqing Fort is not to harm you, but to save you!" ”
