Chapter 7: An Unquiet New Year (4)

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin asked almost in unison.

Liang Ziyue said: "Didn't my brother just say that of the six leaders of this gang of bandits, five died and one survived." The brother thought, the role of 'Liu Wanbao' is only afraid that it will fall on this guy. The only living bandit leader is called Gu Anjia, and he is the third among several leaders. According to the information revealed by the captive, this person is the worst of the six brothers, and at the same time, the most greedy for life and afraid of death.

According to the captives, before attacking the 'Jingyuan', this Gu Anjia was the only one of the six brothers who was unwilling to come. And when they attacked the 'Jingyuan', this guy was one of the six brothers who rushed to the Zuihou side. It's just that although he rushed to Zuihou, he still couldn't please in the rain of bullets, and Zuihou was still shot. However, this kid should have a big life, the bullet only grazed his thigh, but did not hurt the bones and large blood vessels, and only needed simple treatment and a few days of rest to recover. ”

Hearing this, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin both felt a little strange, feeling that since he had only suffered such a minor injury, Weishenme did not act with the brigade, or did not flee knowing that the defeat was decided, but was caught by his own side.

Regarding Wang and Zhang's questions, Liang Ziyue smiled and said, "This can only be blamed for being smart but being mistaken by being smart." After this guy was shot, because he was greedy for life and afraid of death, he pretended to be seriously injured and fell to the ground, intending to secretly see how the situation developed. If his brothers won and successfully stormed the house, he rushed in to reap the benefits with a posture of 'not being in the line of fire with minor injuries'. If his brothers were defeated, he would lie on the ground for a little longer and pretend to be dead, and then find a way out of the place after he was sure that he was absolutely safe.

It's a pity that although this guy's abacus is well-played, he is not as good as the sky. After the bandits were repelled and the rest were captured, this kid saw that our people were busy escorting the captives and had no time to clean up the corpses outside, and thought that the opportunity had come, so he planned to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Unexpectedly, because he had not been able to eat enough during this time, his physique was weak, and he shed some blood, and after lying in the snow for a long time, his body began to stiffen, and he couldn't walk fast at all when he escaped. It wasn't until the starling took someone out to examine the corpse that he staggered out and didn't go far, so naturally he couldn't escape.

Such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, if we can make good use of it and let him serve us, his role is no less than that of Feilongzhai Liu. So, I just said that we can find a 'Liu Wanbao' from this group of bandits. ”

When Wang and Zhang heard this, they were overjoyed. Zhang Weixin said: "In this way, this Gu Anjia is really useful to us." If we can persuade him to come to our aid, it will be much easier to subdue those captives. Moreover, we can also find the refugees hiding in the mountains through him. According to the captives, there are more than 1,000 of these refugees. ”

"What, Seventh, you even fight the idea of those refugees?" Wang Kunjun asked, "You know, these bandits are basically the essence of refugees. I'm afraid that there are few of the remaining ones in the mountains who are qualified to join the Wyvern Pioneer Camp, what are we going to do with them? Besides, there are only a lot of people among the refugees who are related to the bandits who were killed outside, and for these people, they are enemies with us, and you are not causing trouble for yourself by bringing them here? ”

Zhang Weixin explained: "Brother understands your concerns Fifth Brother, but there are always two sides to the problem. Yes, among those refugees, there will indeed be the relatives of the bandits who were killed, but at the same time, there will also be the relatives of these captives outside. Brother thinks so, if we take in the captive's relatives, it will be tantamount to giving them a way to live, then we can make the captives grateful to Dade and contribute to us. And we can use these refugees as hostages, so that those captives will not dare to disagree, and completely obey our orders.

In addition, a few days ago, Zhao Min'an and Zhao brothers submitted to the Ministry of Agriculture for the next year's development, and it was also clearly stated that agriculture should be vigorously developed and the team's grain planting area should be expanded, so as to lay a solid foundation for future development. Moreover, he also pointed out that the two fields we have are not suitable for planting corn (Fanyang's land is too close to other people's land, and Zhao Minan is afraid that planting corn will attract the attention of others.) The piece next to the 'Jingyuan' is a little worse, and Zhao Min'an is afraid that it will affect the breeding effect), and it is necessary to purchase land separately for cultivation. These newly acquired lands must have been planted by people, and aren't these refugees the best candidates for tenant households? ,

As for the relatives of those who were killed, we can pick them out, give them some travel expenses, let them return to the Northern Han, and make it clear that this is their only chance, if they don't leave, or if they intend to take revenge, then we will never show mercy when Zaijian arrives next time. ”

Wang Kunjun was still a little unsure of Zhang Weixin's suggestion, he thought for a while, and said: "I agree with your statement in principle, but this matter is very important, and you and I can't jump to conclusions." I think it's better to hold an enlarged meeting of the committee to discuss it and make a decision. ”

Zhang Weixin saw that he couldn't convince Wang Kunjun for a while, so he had to nod and agree. The two agreed to notify the relevant personnel immediately and convene an enlarged meeting of the committee here after breakfast to discuss the matter.

The plan has been decided, and seeing that the sky is already bright, Wang Kunjun asked Zhang Weixin, Liang Ziyue, and Zheng Zhiwei to go back to breakfast, so that they can have enough energy to prepare for a meeting for a while, and Zhang Weixin and others agreed.

After breakfast, the four members of the committee and the heads of various departments gathered in the main hall of Wang Kunjun's residence to discuss the handling of the bandits and other refugees. Zhang Weixin elaborated on his views at the meeting, and at the same time talked about Wang Kunjun's concerns, but in his own famous words, so as not to affect everyone's judgment.

Subsequently, the participants had a heated discussion on this issue, and finally adopted Zhang Weixin's proposal by a majority vote, and decided that Zhang Weixin and Liang Ziyue would be responsible for the specific implementation, with the assistance of the Military Department and the Ministry of Security.

Zhang Weixin, who was authorized, immediately summoned Liang Ziyue, Zheng Zhiwei, Qian Yuanshan, Zeng Zhilin, and Xu Shaoan together, and after careful study, drew up a plan of action. According to the plan, Zhang Weixin, Liang Ziyue, and Zheng Zhiwei will come forward to contact the Gu Anjia to persuade him to return to the team, and contribute to the team's subjugation of other captives and refugees in the mountains. After obtaining the authorization of the committee, Qian Yuanshan and Zeng Zhilin mobilized the No. 1 Squadron of the Feilong Pioneer Battalion down the mountain, and personally led the squadron to cooperate with Zhang Weixin and others, and was responsible for the safety and security of these brothers when they went into the mountains to come into contact with the refugees. Xu Shaoan's security department was mainly responsible for the custody of prisoners, and a part of the guards were dispatched to provide close protection for Zhang Weixin and others.

Later, Zhang Weixin asked Liang Ziyue to take Gu Anjia to the room where several of them were discussing, preparing to persuade Gu Anjia.

Not long after, Liang Ziyue came with Gu An's house. As soon as he entered the house, Gu Anjia immediately knelt on his knees, bowed his head, and behaved very deferentially.

Although Gu Anjia still hasn't figured out what the background of the people in this mansion is, from the other party's strong force and spacious mansion, he can still judge that these people on the other side are rich and huge. Ever since he was caught, he had been regretting that he had to come along.

Speaking of which, he was not very approving of the robbery from the beginning, feeling that it was too risky and too variable, and that for someone like himself who had never done such a thing, the chances of success were really limited. It's a pity that his voice alone is too small, and the second brother, as the only person who can influence the eldest brother, only has objections to the choice of this mansion as the target, and does not object to the robbery itself. His request to stay in the camp was said by the eldest brother to be a lack of brotherly affection, forcing him to follow.

The result was similar to what I expected, and this attack was basically an egg-on-stone ending. Nearly half of the nearly 200 brothers diedβ€”and this was because they were so merciful that they did not kill them allβ€”and only one of the six sworn brothers survived, and he was wounded.

When he was first caught, Gu Anjia also thought that he would definitely die, and was ready to meet several other brothers Huang Quan. However, his generosity only lasted for a short time, and when he realized that the other party was not trying to kill him, the desire for life instantly swept away the generosity and replaced it with the thought of living no matter what. Even if he wants to do whatever it takes to betray his brother for this, he will not hesitate to do anything.

Now, when he was brought here alone, although he still had a rope on him, his instincts told him that his chance had come. Therefore, when he entered the house, he didn't need Liang Ziyue to urge, he immediately knelt on the ground, trying to leave a good impression on the other party.

At this time, Liang Ziyue pointed to Zhang Weixin, who was sitting on it, and introduced: "The one sitting above is my seventh brother Zhang." ”

When Gu Anjia heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Zhang Weixin and said, "The villain Gu Anjia has seen Zhang Qiye. ”,

Gu Anjia's series of actions were all seen by Zhang Weixin, which made Zhang Weixin full of confidence in persuading this person. So Zhang Weixin didn't let him get up, but slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Listen to this brother of a certain person, Leader Gu was originally a refugee from the Northern Han Dynasty. ”

Gu Anjia heard the other party call himself the leader of Gu, and hurriedly corrected: "The villain is just a grass people, where can he be called like this by the Seventh Master, the Seventh Master just calls the villain's name." ”

After speaking, he paused slightly, and seeing that Zhang Weixin didn't say anything, he continued: "The villain was originally a common person near Taiyuan, only because the Zhou State sent troops to attack our Han State, in order to avoid the military disaster, he fled to your land with the villagers and temporarily settled in the West Mountain. ”

When Zhang Weixin heard this, he put the teacup in his hand on the table, deliberately raised his voice and asked, "You said that you are just an ordinary person, and you can't afford to be the leader." But since you are an ordinary person, you should live well in the mountains, but why did you travel dozens of miles on the night of the first day of the new year, running to a certain house with a knife and a gun to fight and kill? Such an act is what ordinary people should do? ”

Gu Anjia was taken aback by Zhang Weixin's question, and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhang Wei incredibly: "The seventh master forgives the sins, the seventh master forgives the sins." The villains and others also had to take risks because they ran out of food and had to take risks in order not to starve to death. Moreover, this night attack on your mansion was all the idea of the villain's big brother. For this reason, the villain has persuaded the eldest brother many times to tell him not to target the noble house, but he just doesn't listen and insists on coming. He is the eldest brother of the villain, and the villain can't help but listen to his words, and he doesn't dare not listen, so he has to follow.

However, the villain came, but as soon as he began to attack, the villain was injured and fell to the ground, never fighting with the guards of the mansion, let alone hurting anyone in the mansion. ”

Zhang Weixin saw that he had frightened this Gu Anjia, so he slowed down his tone a little and asked, "In this way, this night attack on my 'Jingyuan', the mastermind is your eldest brother, and you are just an accomplice." However, although you are an accomplice, you are one of the leaders of this group of bandits after all, according to the law of Da Liao, even if Zhang cuts off your head, it is a matter of course. ”

Gu Anjia heard that although Zhang Weixin did not say words of forgiveness to himself, his tone of voice had loosened a little, so he continued to excuse himself: "Although the villain and the eldest brother are sworn brothers, compared with the other four sworn brothers, the villain is the one who is least valued by the eldest brother, and he is also the one who is most suppressed by the other brothers. Participating in the night attack this time is completely involuntary, and it is definitely not the villain's original intention, and I hope that the seventh master can be merciful and forgive the villain. After speaking, he prostrated again and again.

Zhang Weixin saw that the heat was almost over, so he pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "If the matter is indeed as you said, if you are coerced by others and have to follow, it is understandable. If you can make meritorious contributions, Zhang can plead with a few brothers on your behalf and leave you a way out. ”

Zhang Weixin's words were like a life-saving straw in the hands of the man who fell into the water, and he immediately replied: "What the villain said is true, and the villain is also willing to make meritorious contributions." As long as you don't dislike the villain, the villain is willing to be the pawn of the seventh master and several other masters. I also begged the seventh master to say a few more kind words for the villain in front of the other masters, and give the villain this opportunity. ”

What Zhang Weixin wanted was Gu Anjia's words, so he said: "As long as Leader Gu sincerely does things for our brothers, there is no need for Zhang to intercede, and Leader Gu's brothers will not treat Leader Gu badly." ”

When Gu Anjia heard this, there was no reason for him to be unwilling, so he immediately said: "The seventh master and several other masters are driven, and the villain must obey his fate." There is something that the villain needs to do, just ask. The villain went to the soup and went to the fire, and he did not give up. ”

Gu Anjia's arrogant words are categorical and fearless. But Zhang Weixin looked awkward in his eyes, and even felt a little funny. He really couldn't connect the Gu Anjia at this moment with the Gu Anjia who kowtowed like garlic and was greedy for life and afraid of death at the previous moment. However, although he is disgusted with Gu An's family, this kind of person is what Zhang Weixin needs most now.

So, Zhang Weixin had to say against his will: "Leader Gu is really a happy person, and Zhang is willing to deal with people like Leader Gu." Come on, quickly untie Leader Gu and watch the seat. ”

Liang Ziyue and the others were also quite cooperative, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie Gu Anjia, moved a chair for him to sit down, and asked his subordinates to serve tea to Gu Anjia. This series of actions flattered the Gu Anjia family, and they didn't dare to say to Liang Ziyue and others. After thanking Zhang Weixin very humbly and thanking him for tea, he sat on half of his ass next to the chair, and waited for Zhang Weixin to tell him how to make meritorious contributions.
