Let's not talk about Wang Yuechan's frustration and Wen's mother and daughter's panic, as well as their mutual complaints. Bai Wei's eldest lord Xiao Guanyu also had a very hard time.

Strictly speaking, Sanzhuang fell to the Mengshan Army, and the culprit was Bai Wei Town. If Bai Wei Zhen had withstood the surprise attack of the Mengshan army, the battle situation would have been very different. Objectively speaking, it was Xiao Guanyu who affected Zheng Jing. At the beginning, Zheng Jing tried to persuade Xiao Guanyu to spend money to repair the wall, but Xiao Guanyu was reluctant. He always thought that even if Xiangma attacked, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was Zhengjiazhuang. His Bai Wei Town and Chen Jiaya are just beating side drums. Who knew that the first arrow of the Xiangma was shot at Bai Wei, and he adopted the tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and defeated the Sanzhuang Alliance overnight.

Zheng Jing escaped from Lu, but he and Chen Chao fell into the hands of bandits. At first, Xiao Guanyu thought that he was going to die, he did not regret ordering the surrender of his township soldiers who were completely obedient to his orders, Xiangma burned the village is absolutely unacceptable, he will be unlucky to surrender, and if he does not surrender, the whole village will be in trouble.

Xiao Guanyu, who was imprisoned at home, had a tragic taste. Die or die, with a knife or a shot. As long as torture is not applied. Legend has it that Xiangma always had some creepy torture, lighting sky lanterns, chopping alive, skinning and pumping intestines. In addition, I hope that my family will not be harmed, but this is another extravagant hope, and the reason why Xiangma is Xiangma is Xiangma cannot hope that they have humanity.

Facing his wife's crying, Xiao Guanyu roared back with a voice, "Lao Tzu is not dead yet, what are you doing in mourning?" ”

In the fierce battle that night, more than a dozen people were killed and wounded in the village, and he, the owner of the village and the commander-in-chief of the township soldiers, could not figure out the exact number. That night was so chaotic that I was killed by the Ringing Horse over the wall. Xiao Guanyu regretted dying, it would have been good to listen to Zheng Jing's advice, but there was no regret medicine in the world, so he could only wait for death now.

What does it mean for the ringing horse to open the Zhuangzi? He knows it perfectly. He has a daughter to be married, who will be out of the cabinet next year, and he also has a beautiful concubine room, even if his face is smeared with ash from the bottom of the pot, he can't hide his pretty face. His two sons, one of whom had a wife, and the other who had not yet married, lived with him in a courtyard whether they had a wife or not. Oh, and the family business he took over from his father: thousands of acres of good land, a big house, and a pharmacy with a very good business, all over!

The loss of wealth is secondary. When the catastrophe came, Xiao Guanyu knew that he was more concerned about the safety of his relatives than property. If one's daughter is ruined and one's son is taken away, what is the point of living?

But what Hibiki did next surprised him. First, they did not kill him, and second, they did not raid his house. He was put under house arrest and not allowed to leave his compound. Of all his fears, none of which he feared were the touching of his children, wives and concubines, did not happen.

The soldiers were completely different from the horses he had imagined, he did not see clearly in the fierce battle that night, but after dawn he saw clearly, all wearing exactly the same gray military uniforms, some wearing hats, some not wearing, most of them were bareheaded, and only a few of them had braids.

They basically do not go into the inner courtyard where the ladies live. He was greatly surprised by the strictness of military discipline.

Although he couldn't go out, what happened in Bai Wei Town and Zheng and Chen Liangzhuang reached his ears one after another, some of them were the leaders of Xiangma stationed in Bai Wei, the young man named Wang Mingyuan told him, and others were brought back by his coachman Bai Changhai, Bai Changhai was always called out of the car by Xiangma, and he was well informed. Bai Zhonghai, the henchman he cared about the most, did not die, but was captured by Xiangma alive and lived well, just like the village soldiers who surrendered their weapons. Except for those who died in the battle that night, no one died in the whole village.

This news made Xiao Guanyu happy.

Zhengjiazhuang is so unbeaten! This made Xiao Guanyu feel a lot more comfortable. And Bai Changhai's estimate of the number of ringing horses, the total number of which was no more than four hundred, could not make him believe it in any way.

That Wang Mingyuan lived in the front yard, which was the yard where the coachman Bai Changhai lived, but he came in from time to time to chat with him, it was a young man with good facial features and a good speech, he looked like he was twenty-six or seventeen years old, his subordinates called him company commander, Xiao Guanyu didn't understand what kind of officer the company commander was. Company Commander Wang kept asking him about some things, the population of the town, the number of village soldiers, the number of weapons, and the surrounding villages...... He answered truthfully.

In order to strive for a good result, he can only answer truthfully.

After getting acquainted with it in a few days, Xiao Guanyu got the opportunity and asked Wang Mingyuan, "What are you going to do?" Just lock me up? ”

"Didn't I tell you, be patient. The commander will come over here after handling the affairs of Zhengjiazhuang. ”

"Didn't you kill Steward Zheng over there? Didn't you divide all the wealth of Zheng Jing's family? ”

"Yes, we left Mengshan to come here, just to eliminate violence and peace. As long as you don't do too much, I won't embarrass you as a commander! Master Xiao, there is a man named Pan Fulin in your village who has an enmity with you? ”

Sure enough, this kid has found a chance to take revenge!

"Don't listen to his nonsense. You can go to Zhuangzi and ask some more people to see if I, Xiao Guanyu, am the kind of bully in the fish country. Pan Fulin owed me the rent, and if I didn't pay it, I took back the three and a half acres of land he rented, and he still owes those rents...... What else is he going to do? ”

"He wants you to be like the housekeeper of Zhengjiazhuang!" Wang Mingyuan said, "How many burdens of rent, as for it?" Don't you know that the land is the lifeblood of the crops? If you take back the land, how will he live? ”

"Oh my God! If he is an honest and diligent farmer, how can I take back the land? If you go to the village to inquire, the surname Pan is a gambler, and no matter how big the family business is, he will lose it! ”

"Alright. Now Bai Wei Town is up to us! Pan Fulin wants to kill you, and he has to get the nod of our commander! As long as our commander finds out that you are different from Zheng Jing, you will be fine. Wang Mingyuan said coldly.

Waiting in trepidation, finally, it was his turn. The commander Wang Mingyuan said came to the door and talked with him in his study for most of the night. He was a very special man, tall and mighty, and like his soldiers, he wore the gray military uniform that was said to have been stolen from the official warehouse, and he did not have braids, but he had a very peculiar beard - not a fluffy and messy beard like those hairy fellows in the country, but from the sideburns, which were connected to the upper lip, forming a beautiful circle.

Looks are secondary, and accents don't matter. Xiao Guanyu felt that the head of Xiangma, surnamed Long, was an unusual person, with a keen mind and outstanding insight, from the general trend of the imperial court to the situation in Shandong, he talked eloquently without hindrance. Xiao Guanyu listened most of the time, he didn't care about the news in the court or the province, but paid attention to what his soldiers would do in Sanzhuang. I found his ideas to be very organized, and the initiatives were not unacceptable. For example, he praised Chen Chao and belittled Zheng Jing, although he did not deny himself, he also knew the status of Lu Dao in his mind. He talked about his so-called "policy": the township soldiers in Sanzhuang must be completely disarmed, and any form of resistance or resistance is not allowed, but the Mengshan army will strictly abide by military discipline and will never rob, rape, or beat the people. The land and floating wealth of the bully Zheng Jing will be confiscated, but Mr. Chen Chao of Chen Jiaya will be protected, and his money, food, and land will not be violated in any way. As for you, Master Xiao Zhuang, we think that although you did not bully the township like Zheng Jing and set up a private court, the people in your village have resentment against you! The land rent is too high, the pharmacy is also profitable, and they are all villagers, so can you do this with peace of mind? I will not divide your land, and first, all the rent and money that were owed to you will be forgiven. second, the land rent fell to the level of Chen Chao; Third, donate a sum of money voluntarily, and if you can't eat the food in your storehouse, take it out to help the poor. Do this, and I will keep you safe with your family and your property.

Can Xiao Guanyu object? He agreed repeatedly, and at that time he said that he intended to donate half of his family property to the labor army.

Long Qian expressed his gratitude, "That's good, we will be a family in the future." ”
