Chapter Twenty-Five: Waiting for the Net

The spies of the Zhao family and the Jing family were both on horseback when they arrived, and they soon returned to their respective dock forts and reported to Zhao and Jing Cheng what they had observed outside the Qujia fort.

After listening to the spies' report, Zhao Qi sneered and said, "This Qu family is really useless!" Hiding in a sturdy dock fort, you can still be beaten like this by a group of untouchables! ”

"Immediately send someone to contact the Jing family and ask them to prepare to send troops! Invite the Zhaotong Commander to come over, the head of the family has something important to announce! ”

Zhaotong is the second brother of Zhaoqi and the commander of the 800 soldiers of the Zhao family. It is precisely because of Zhaotong's strong support that Zhaoqi was able to ascend the throne in advance at the juncture of the rebellion of the people and replace the originally elderly Zhao family patriarch. This Zhaotong is Zhaotong's most powerful minions and accomplices!

Not long after, Zhaotong, dressed in armor and with a meaty face, came to see the head of the family.

"Second brother, our opportunity to annex the Qu family has come!"

"Hehe, I've been waiting for this day for too long. Big brother, everything is at your command! ”

"Good! I order you to gather 500 soldiers now and get ready to attack! ”

At the same time, in the Jingjiawu Fort of the Three Households Pavilion, after listening to the report of the spies, Jing Cheng said with a smile: "I was really caught by Zhao Qi, this Qu family is just a mud that can't stick to the wall, and it deserves to be destroyed!" We will wait for someone from the Zhao family to contact us and send troops to the Qu family together! ”

The Jing family's strength is weaker than that of the Zhao family, and the current action against the Qu family is led by the Zhao family.

When the messenger sent by Zhao Qi to contact the Jing family was still on the way, the spies of the Zhao family's second group of messengers rushed back in a hurry.

"The head of the Qi family, it's broken! Qujiabao was breached by the rebels! ”

"What! How did it break through so quickly? Fast! Send an order to Zhaotong, and ask him to order 500 soldiers to immediately send troops to Qujiabao, and kill all of them before this group of rebels has not yet evacuated Qujiabao, and be sure to grab all the land deeds of the Qu family! ”

When Zhao Qi thought that the rebels were now looting in Qujiabao, carrying a lot of gold and silver treasures into his arms, he felt a lot of pain in his flesh, as if this group of rebels was robbing the wealth that belonged to the Zhao family.

"Hmph, Fat Jing, I'm going to be sorry this time! Whoever makes the situation change so fast, with fast hands and slow hands, I won't be polite to you! ”

Jing Cheng is fat like a pig, and Zhao Qi called him "Jing Fat", and he still has a bit of morality.

The messenger sent by Zhao Qi to contact the Jing family arrived at Jingjiawu Fort at about the same time as the second spies from the Jing family who reported the news.

"What? Qujiabao has been broken by the rebels? After listening to the spies' report, Jing Yi was also surprised.

"Master Jing, the contemptible people are entrusted by the head of my family to contact the matter of jointly sending troops! Since Qu Jiabao has been broken by the rebels, the Zhao and Jing families just followed the plan set the day before yesterday to play the banner of rescuing the Qu family, and jointly sent troops to solve the group of rebels who occupied the Qu family! ”

"Okay, I'll give Jing Hao an order and ask him to gather three hundred soldiers and go to Fengjiayukou to join the Zhao family's team!"

In Fengjiayu, Xian Yuyin was loudly reprimanding the soldiers of the Qu family's army.

"Stupid, these rolling stones are not in the right place, lean some further forward, and press the crowbar underneath!"

"Silly bird, pile the firewood evenly, hide the fire deeper, don't be seen!"

"Don't scatter the archers so much, gather behind those big rocks!"

"When the enemy comes, pay attention to adjusting your breathing, don't move without my order, if anyone rushes out without an order, Captain Pontus will shoot you with the first arrow!"

In order to prove his archery skills, when Xian Yuyin said this, he pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver on his back, raised his hand and shot at a black bird hovering overhead, and the next moment the unlucky black bird fell from mid-air.

Outside Qujiabao, more than 1,000 rebellious villagers were stopped at the door by Deng Biao.

"Biaozi, let me in and take a look!"

"No, Uncle Hai said that you can't let one person in!"

"Biaozi, if you dare to stop me again, believe it or not, I'll beat you!"

"Hehe, I believe this, but I'm not afraid, because you can't beat me!"

"Okay, count your dog ruthless, believe it or not, a group of us beat you up?"

"I believe in this, but I'm still not afraid, because we are also a group of people on our side!"

"Biaozi, if you don't let me in, I'll go back and tell Erya's mother, so that you can't marry a daughter-in-law!"

"Uncle Hai said that as long as I work hard this time, I will give my family a few more acres of land when I turn back. As long as the second girl sees the deed, she will definitely agree to marry the second girl to me! ”

There was a lot of noise at the gate of Wubao, although it sounded lively, but no one really dared to do anything with Deng Biaozi, who was eight feet tall and had a big waist and a round waist.

Liu He hid in a dark hole inside the fort that was easy to observe, looking at the situation outside the fort with a playful expression, and behind him stood Wang Yue, Qu Lin, Qu Meng, and Deng Hai.

"Old man Qu, don't worry, after I left Dengjiazhuang with the team, the patriarch Deng An personally led someone to quietly send your eldest son Qu Yong to Fengjiayu, and at this time he should have already joined Xian Yu Duwei and Qu Deputy Duwei."

Hearing that his eldest son was fine, Qu Lin's heart was a little more steady.

"Childe, the brothers who rushed into the fort were taken to the Daxiao Field by Tian Teamzheng and Chen Gui, and they were changing the clothes of the family soldiers and choosing the weapons to take advantage of. Now, can I take Old Man Qu out of the house to meet the dealers? ”

"Well, that's fine, it's going to change later. You told everyone that the Qu family had agreed to reduce the rent of the two fields, and in order to supervise the Qu family's implementation of this policy, and also to prevent the Zhao family and the Jing family from coming to retaliate, you and Chen San would temporarily garrison the Qu family. Tell these dealers that the matter has been satisfactorily resolved, and let everyone disperse. ”

Qu Meng said a little unconvinced: "Didn't you say that you were just making a show for the Zhao family and the Jing family? How can we really reduce the rent by 20%? ”

Liu He glanced at Qu Meng and said expressionlessly: "Believe it or not, as long as I say a word, this group of angry people outside the fort can completely destroy your Qu family in an instant!" ”

Qu Lin hurriedly stopped his grandson from continuing to speak, and said in a round game: "The son is angry, it is not much to reduce the rent by 20%, the Qu family can fully accept it!" In fact, Qu Meng, this kid, had already proposed to me to reduce the rent of the villagers, and I don't know what kind of anger Lu Dao committed today, so he had to talk like this. ”

When Liu He heard this, his face improved a little, and he taught Qu Meng and said: "You fart child, you don't understand anything, add to the chaos!" ”

Qu Meng blushed, resisted the urge to run away, and hurriedly helped Qu Lin to walk out.

After Qu Lin came out of the dark building, he was held by Deng Hai's arm, and Qu Meng was also twisted by two strong men in a fake pattern, and several people walked from the dark stairs to the platform directly above the castle gate.

"Folks, the head of the Qu family has been caught by me, and this little white face behind him is his own grandson!"

Qu Lin said with a face full of grievances: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, I, Qu Lin, am here to announce in public today that from this year onwards, all tenants will be exempted from 20% of the rent for all fields belonging to the Qu family!" ”

When thousands of people outside the fort heard this, they immediately thundered with joy.

"Did you hear that? Pay less than 20% rent this year! It's a full two percent wow! ”

"Now the child in my daughter-in-law's belly won't have to starve after it lands!"

"Although the risk of this rebellion is great, the harvest is really not small......

Qu Lin continued: "Fellow villagers, although our Qu family has done something wrong, we have been generous to everyone over the years. The Qu family has never come to the door to urge rent and kill people, nor has they forced any family to sell their children, and I hope that the big guy will look at the past feelings, let the Qu family go, and stop besieging the Qu family! ”

When he said this, Qu Lin's face was already full of tears, and he looked very miserable.

Outside the fort, Deng Hai specially arranged several "floor washing parties" immediately shouted: "Old man Qu is reasonable, the Qu family is much better than the Zhao family and the Jing family, and this time they are willing to reduce the rent, let's let them go!" ”

"The Qu family is good, they speak kindly, and they are allowed to default on the land rent, so they won't be embarrassed!"

Deng Hai saw that the mood of the villagers outside the fort was relatively stable, so he shouted loudly: "Folks, everyone heard it just now, I, Deng Hai, have done what I said, and the Qu family has agreed to our request!" In order to ensure that the Qu family fulfills its promise, my brothers and I have been stationed in Qujiawu Fort for the past few days, and will only evacuate Qujiabao after the Qu family and each household have replaced the documents to reduce the land rent! ”

"Now everyone disperses, it makes no sense to stay here any longer!"

"Okay, let's listen to Deng Da's words, everyone disperses!"

"Scattered, scattered!"
