Chapter 730: Fishing in Troubled Waters

"Hey! What are you doing? ”

Zhang Shuhao was busy working on the grain truck, when a Khitan soldier with a knife suddenly noticed something unusual, and immediately walked up quickly and asked viciously.

Zhang Shuhao stood in the car, wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and said, "The little one is loading the car according to the orders of the generals." ”

The Khitan soldier pointed to a black jar in the middle of the rice bag with his knife and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Shuhao laughed and said: "This is a jar of sesame oil." ”

The Khitan soldier frowned, and said suspiciously: "What are you doing stuffing the oil jar in the middle of the rice bag?" ”

Zhang Shuhao said with a smile: "The road is too far, and the road is bumpy, if you load the oil jar alone on a car, it will be all broken on the way, and the small one calculates, if you stuff the oil jar in the middle of the rice bag, it will be foolproof!" ”

"Oh......"

The Khitan soldier turned his anger into joy, patted him on the shoulder with a knife, and praised: "Well, you are very good, just do it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhang Shuhao accompanied the Khitan soldiers who walked away in a big way, and immediately gave an order to the other farmers openly, so in front of the Khitan people, they put the oil jar together, rice noodles, and cloth.

The meat oil, sesame oil, ewing oil, hemp seed oil, and even the tung seed oil used to make lamp oil were not only stuffed in the middle of the rice cart, but also several jars were stuffed into the cart containing cloth, bedding and other items.

Of course, the Khitans knew that oil was flammable, but they only thought that this was the intention of the men in the manor to curry favor, and they did not think that they were planning to set fires.

This town has long been occupied by the Khitans, and these people have never resisted from the beginning to the end, and now that the Khitans are about to leave, how can these people ask for trouble when they are about to leave?

Before you know it, the sun sets.

In the twilight, the whole manor was littered with carts full of grain and cloth, and the mules and horses scavenged from the tenants and other large families were brought into the manor to be put on their bridle early the next morning. Pick up the grain cart and leave.

Grain cellar mouth. The Khitan soldiers pressed their knives in one hand and held torches in the other, still watching coldly, while the farmers were sweating profusely carrying grain bags and constantly coming out of the grain cellars.

The Lu family manor at night is like a hot scene like an autumn harvest......

In the middle of the moon, the night is the third watch. All the grain in the granary was loaded, and the tenants who had been sent to work in the manor dragged their tired steps away, and the villagers and men in the house were all exhausted, and as soon as they returned to the cross-courtyard room, they fell asleep, and in a moment they were like dead pigs. Snoring loudly.

Although the Khitan soldiers in the manor did not do their own work, they tossed for so long, and they were monitoring the work of the tenants and the villagers, arranging the carts loaded with rice and grain, and tying the captured mules and horses.

These Zhuang Ding guys on the village have been very well-behaved these days, and now the Khitans are about to leave. They didn't think that these banker guys were going to make trouble at this time. Inevitably, the guard on them will be relaxed.

Liang Shuang, who was feigned sleeping, opened his eyes while snoring. Because it's hot. The doors and windows were open, and it was easy to see the situation outside, seeing that the Khitan soldiers had indeed left, Liang Shuang jumped up, and Zhang Shuhao, who was also sleeping in clothes, immediately jumped up.

Liang Shuang dodged to the door, quickly swam around in the shadow of the porch, and was sure that there were no Khitan soldiers in the courtyard, so he immediately returned. At this time, Zhuang Ding in several side rooms across the courtyard were all awakened and concentrated in the largest room.

Among these people, only Zhang Shuhao and Liang Shuang knew about tonight's action, and those dealers and guys were quietly woken up by Zhang Shuhao, who were opening a pair of hazy and confused sleepy eyes at this time, and they didn't know what was going on.

Liang Shuang said in a low voice: "The manor is now full of cars and horses, this is our best chance to escape, let's create a big chaos for a while, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape!" ”

The second man on the village was taken aback by his words, and said sneeringly: "Steward Liang, they ...... They will leave early tomorrow morning, why should we provoke them, these Khitans are like wolves and tigers, angry, we are all going to be killed. ”

Before Liang Shuang could speak, Zhang Shuhao sneered and said, "Erdan, you also know that they are robbers, do you really think that they will leave in peace after plundering the grain and grass?" ”

Those dealers heard the sound outside the strings, and couldn't help but change color on their faces, and Wang Da hurriedly asked, "Master Zhang, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Shuhao said: "This morning, when their big leader asked Steward Liang to arrange carriages and horses, Steward Liang overheard their conversation, and they planned to kill all the people in the town when they left the town early tomorrow morning. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Liang Shuang confirmed: "That's right! Their big leader asked me to prepare carts and horses to transport grain, and I agreed, and when I came out, I thought that there were not enough mules and horses and horses in Zhuangzi, and thought of asking the big chief if I could gather the carts and mules and horses of the people in the town, and when I turned around and walked to the door, I happened to hear him instructing his henchmen to kill us all tomorrow. ”

How can these ordinary Zhuang Ding have any knowledge, when Steward Liang said this, they believed it without doubt, and they couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

Liang Shuang said: "Since then, I have been thinking about how to find a way for everyone to live. If the big guys don't dare to fight, tomorrow morning, everyone will have to go to see the king of Hades. Taking advantage of the chaos in the manor tonight, everyone set a fire to create a big mess, and then split up to break through, maybe they can still break out of the way, you know? ”

Those Zhuang Ding nodded again and again, and Zhang Shuhao said sharply: "Steward Liang is for everyone's safety, otherwise, with Steward Liang's martial arts, the chance of escaping is always greater, if you don't fight, you will die, and there is still hope in case, what else do we have to be afraid of?" The bad seed that doesn't grow eggs rolls aside and waits to die, if it's a man, listen to the orders of Steward Liang! ”

The crowd was furious, and Dazhu said in a deep voice: "Steward Liang, you just command, the big guys will listen to you!" ”

Liang Shuang said: "Okay! Shuhao, after a while, you and a few skilled haode brothers will go out first, solve the Khitan outpost outside, Wang Da, Gou Yu, Dazhu, Erdan, and a few of you will follow behind and wait for the opportunity to set fire. We stuffed oil jars in all the cars. Just one point. When the fire comes, the livestock all over the yard will go crazy, and when the time comes, there will be chaos, and we will rush out! ”

Liang Shuang had already thought about Jihua, hurriedly arranged it for a while, and said: "You guys go back to the rooms and wait, still pretending to be asleep." Don't let the Khitans notice, keep your business, you go and get the swords we hid and distribute them to everyone, and everyone will listen to my orders to do it! ”

The Zhuang Ding hurriedly dispersed according to Liang Shuang's instructions, but Zhang Shuhao deliberately stayed behind slowly. Wait for the Zhuang Ding who are going to be used as cannon fodder to disperse. Liang Shuang lowered his voice to Zhang Shuhao and said: "This matter is done, with only the reward of the son, you and I can be prosperous and wealthy, and have no worries for a lifetime!"

After a while, you and I acted according to Jihua, causing chaos respectively, lighting a fire, using livestock to destroy the whole estate, and waiting for the farmers to flee outside the house. When it attracted the attention of the Khitans. You and I sneaked to Yang Fan's residence, and he was injured. If we slash together, we will definitely be able to kill him! ”

Zhang Shuhao said: "Okay! When the manor is in chaos, those Khitans will only think that we want to escape, and Yang Fan is not their person, and they will not think of the idea that we want to beat their captives, so Yang Fan's precautions there must not be strict, we will definitely be able to get it, and glory and wealth are at our fingertips! ”

Liang Shuang said: "There is a secret room in this manor where people can be hidden, after Yang Fan dies, they will only think that they were killed in the chaos, and the Khitans will leave early tomorrow morning, and they will not stay in the manor because a prisoner was killed." After the deed is done, you and I will first avoid the secret room and wait for them to leave...... Hey! ”

Zhang Shuhao thought that he could only take advantage of the chaos to flee after he succeeded, but it was only because of his loyalty to his son and his rich reward that he wanted to fight him, and when he heard that there was a secret room in the house to hide, he was even more excited: "The chief steward Jihua is really thoughtful, let's do it!" ”

After a while, Zhou Shouye brought a bunch of long and short weapons, which were all hidden by Liang Shuang when the Khitans occupied the town, and everyone in the room first selected the weapons they had in hand, and then distributed other swords to those Zhuang Ding who were still sleeping in various rooms, and everyone quietly leaned out according to Liang Shuang's arrangement.

The two Khitan soldiers who were patrolling the night wandered around for a long time, and their bodies were sore, so they found a cart full of silk cloth and lay down on the soft silk cloth, facing the starry sky, holding a long knife in their arms, and dozing off.

Zhang Shuhao and another thug of the Lu family with good skills quietly observed for a while, and quietly approached the two of them under the cover of the grain carts in the yard. At the moon gate behind, a few ordinary Zhuang Ding were peeping with fire folds in their arms, grimacing.

The two Khitan soldiers leaned on both sides of the cart, sleeping on the silk cloth, their heads resting on the horizontal board on the side of the car, the snoring sound was sky-high, Zhang Shuhao quietly went around to the other side of the car, pulled out a short knife, and made a gesture to his accomplices, the two of them started at the same time, covering the mouth of the Khitan soldier, and the sharp blade cut their throats without hesitation.

The bodies of the two Khitan soldiers twitched sharply a few times, and quickly softened, Zhang Shuhao beckoned to the moon gate, and several Zhuang Ding bent their waists and sneakily ran over from the gap between the cars.

Zhang Shuhao quietly ordered: "Don't be busy lighting the fire first, let's go and deal with the two Khitans at the entrance of the courtyard over there, and when we kill them, you will immediately light up the cars one by one, and then untie the mules and horses tied around, and find an opportunity to rush out!" ”

Several Zhuang Ding nodded gratefully, although Steward Liang and this Zhang Ye are both people from the old mansion, and they don't look at them much on weekdays, but at the critical moment, they didn't run for their lives, and they could still think about them, such a move was enough to make these honest and simple Zhuang people sincerely grateful.

At the same time, Liang Shuang took another Zhuang Ding, relying on familiarity with the situation in the manor, climbed over the low wall, jumped into another courtyard, and started the same action......

Lujia Manor, chaos is coming!

P: We sincerely ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!! (To be continued......)
