Chapter 35: Wrong Path?
The sound of gunshots coming from the Tu's compound made many people living near the Tu's house begin to guess who it was. Dare to be so bold and shoot at the house of the Emperor Tu in Baofeng Town. The surrounding people, who originally wanted to come over to see what was going on, did not dare to approach easily when they saw the soldiers of the Xu family patrolling in front of the Tu family.
In these years of war and chaos, if you want to say who the people are most afraid of, it is undoubtedly the officers and soldiers with these murderous weapons. Although the military uniforms worn by these officers and soldiers were the first time they had seen them, the murderous aura emitted by the people who did not approach them still made the people who heard the gunshots gradually gather outside the Tufu compound. Began to speculate about where the soldiers came from, and what was the reason for the gunfire that rang out from the butcher.
Just as the people gathered more and more, the gate of the heavily guarded butcher's house was opened from the inside, and the vehicles that were pushed out were watched, as well as the officers and soldiers who were escorted behind. The nimble minds of the onlookers immediately realized that this butcher, who was rampant in Baofeng Town, had suffered a lot.
The scene in front of him undoubtedly confirmed the people's speculation. With the oxen and carriages, they were all loaded with goods and covered with tarpaulins and pulled out, and the Tu family, who used to be arrogant and domineering, would not be able to see any of them.
Some of the people who hated the butcher family prayed in their hearts that the gun just now was fired, and the best person to beat was those who did a lot of evil in the butcher, and the rich butcher who slaughtered the rich and noble who they hated to eat their flesh and drink their blood.
Seeing that these dozens of oxen and carriages were loaded with things, and were escorted out of the main road outside the town by soldiers with loaded guns, these people became more and more sure. The butcher family finally had evil retribution and was raided.
After Zuihou Xu Bin came out, he explained to the soldiers around him, and a few seals with Xu Jiajun written on them directly sealed this butcher's compound, which usually the people usually have to take a detour when they see it.
At the moment of seeing the seal, these people who saw that Xu Jiajun had left finally came over cautiously. Looking at the seal on the door of the butcher's house, the people finally began to cheer and say: "The butcher's house has been raided!" Tu Fugui was executed by Xu Jiajun! The butcher was punished. And so on to make them like a happy slogan for the New Year.
This also made the people of Baofeng Town remember the three words 'Xu Jiajun' in their hearts for the first time. Because in these days, there are not many officials who can really be the masters of the people. And this Xu Jiajun, who can raid the house, is undoubtedly directly attached to the favor in the minds of these people.
Just when some people were worried that Tu Fugui would not die, a few soldiers who were left by Zuihou to ignite the fire were sent to the Tufu servants who were escorted to Zuihou and released. Finally, he was terrified and told these people that Tu Fugui and those Tufu thugs who had harmed the people in the past were all executed by the Xu family army who had just left.
Many people who had been bullied by the butcher couldn't help but cry with joy after hearing the news. Because of this scourge of Tu Fugui, he has finally been retributed.
Just as these people were cheering for Tu Fugui's death, the mansion that Tu Fugui had spent a lot of money to build began to ignite a raging fire. Looking at this once magnificent Tufu compound turned into a blazing sea of fire, many people breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts.
Even if Tu Fugui is killed, as long as this mansion exists here, the people who have suffered greatly will feel an invisible threat and fear when they see this courtyard. Now seeing this courtyard, it finally turned into a sea of fire and finally turned into a ruin, and the shadows in the hearts of the people were also burned with this fire.
Escorting the property and materials looted from the Tu family, the servants and family members who came out with Xu Jiajun were soon discovered. The route of the convoy does not seem to be on the official road to the state capital. On the contrary, after walking out of the main road outside the town, the soldiers who led the way in front of them soon began to march to the foot of Junfeng Mountain, which ordinary people did not dare to approach.
Are these people on the wrong track?
Just when everyone felt confused, Tian Youliang, who was following Xu Bin, seemed to think of something while being surprised. Just thinking that he was in the Tujia compound, he had already committed the crime of murder. Regardless of the team in front of him, whether it was the Xu Family Guard of Linzhou Mansion or not, he was not qualified to be picky.
Only one way to follow this team can he survive in this life of life. As for going up to the mountain to follow the bandits, Tian Youliang felt that there was nothing he couldn't accept. For him now, he can only live, and he is willing to do anything.
Tian Youliang's eyes changed from time to time, and when he fell into Xu Bin's eyes, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Tian, have you guessed where I came from?" ”
Tian Youliang looked at Xu Bin's smiling face and said very calmly: "I guessed some, but it doesn't matter to me." As I said earlier, my life will be entrusted to me from now on. Regardless of whether Xu Shao is a soldier or a bandit, I, Tian Youliang, will follow him to the death. ”
This answer undoubtedly means that he guessed the true identity of Xu Bin and others, but at the same time, he also shows Xu Bin that he doesn't care whether he is a soldier or a bandit. This also made Xu Bin feel that the young man in front of him, who had just turned eighteen years old, should be trained well, and there must be some prospects for development in the future.
And at the beginning, I was still skeptical that these soldiers of the Xu family army would lead the young men recruited by the butcher who was on the wrong path, and when they saw these soldiers starting to advance towards the Junfeng Mountain. No matter how stupid people are, they know that the group of people in front of them are probably not the officials and soldiers of the Linzhou Mansion at all, but the bandits in the mountains pretending to be them.
But what can be done if this fact is clear? These young men who were originally counting on Xu Bin's protection had no choice at all. Let's not talk about whether they refused to go up the mountain, whether they would attract these bandits posing as soldiers to shoot them, even if they went back and were caught by the officers and soldiers in the city.
The crime of killing the Tu family in the Tu family will also make them worse than dead. Therefore, I originally thought that I had taken refuge in this young man of the Xu family from Linzhou Mansion, and he would be able to mix up the young people who were like individuals. When they realized that they would become bandits, the expressions on many young people's faces lost their previous calmness and smiles.
When the convoy marched to the gate of Heifeng Village, the bandits who had been notified in advance to come down to pick up the bandits looked at the convoy transporting supplies. also admired this young master whose prestige was increasing more and more, as for Xu Yizhong, who was still opposed to robbing the butcher before, when he looked at this cart full of things, he couldn't close his mouth happily.
And the appearance of these cottage logistics personnel who are not qualified to wear Xu Jiajun's military uniforms has undoubtedly completely confirmed the speculation of the recruited young people. This group of troops, dressed like the official army, is really not the Xu Family Guards of Linzhou Mansion, but the bandits of Heifeng Village who are entrenched in this Junfeng Mountain.
sighed that these bandits were really bold, and when they dared to pretend to be officials and soldiers to execute so many people from the slaughtering family, the young men who followed them did not dare to act rashly in the face of these soldiers of the Xu family army who were staring at them. In addition, it is clear that even if they go down the mountain at this moment, the officers and soldiers in the city will definitely not easily spare them who have killed Tu Fugui when they receive the news that the Tu family has been destroyed.
After all, stabbing a knife in Tu Fugui's body, these people have done it. At this moment, the young men suddenly realized why Xu Bin would let them slaughter the rich and noble and bleed before, and dared to let them join the name!
Knowing that these young men must have some thoughts in their hearts, Xu Bin didn't have time to explain anything for the time being, so that Tian Youliang, who was the most good for the time being, brought these out of the young men up the mountain. Xu Bin handed over all the handling of materials to his second uncle.
When he came to the mountain, he looked at Bai Mulan, who didn't wait for his big head to collect it, and turned over the cabinet on his own initiative. When he was taking the recorder of the cottage and constantly opening the boxes to collect the loot, Xu Bin also felt that this Bai Mulan was really more and more like the young grandmother of the Black Wind Village.
Bai Mulan, who felt more and more novel the more she stayed in this Black Wind Village, secretly complained that Xu Bin didn't take her with her since she heard that Xu Bin led the team out of the mountain early in the morning to rob. You know, her favorite thing about Bai Mulan is to go down the mountain to rob. Especially when she saw the wealth that was robbed, this girl, who was still a little bit of a fan of small wealth, felt a deep sense of accomplishment.
Therefore, when I learned that the team that Xu Bin brought down the mountain had returned to the mountain and brought dozens of carts of loot. Bai Mulan was coquettish with Xu Yizhong, and took over the work that was supposed to be Xu Yizhong's collection of materials. Xu Yizhong, who was bent on thinking that his nephew could get married as soon as possible and continue the bloodline for the Xu family.
Faced with Bai Mulan's request, she naturally didn't think about it, and happily agreed. He also hopes that Bai Mulan, through this kind of director who participates in Heifeng Village, will gradually have a sense of belonging to Heifeng Village or the Xu family. And Bai Mulan, who just liked the sense of accomplishment of collecting materials, didn't expect that there was such a layer of thought behind Xu Yizhong's agreement to her request.
Until the bandits who kept carrying supplies up the mountain saw Bai Mulan shouting 'Young Lady' when he personally commanded the inspection. Bai Mulan, who has a bit of a brain, only to realize what she has done like this really makes people misunderstand.
But think about Baijiazhai, the wealth obtained from the mountain in the past was really collected and kept by his mother. Therefore, isn't her move invisibly admitting her relationship with Xu Bin?
