Chapter 476: Mrs. Zou wants to reconcile
Gao Tong also wanted to 'rather die than give in', but Qin Erlang quickly removed his jaw, and he couldn't bite his tongue and commit suicide.
Vice General Miao was taken aback by Gao Tong, and seeing that Gao Tong was not dead, he praised Qin Erlang: "Hou Tong is sensitive, and he should be of great use." ”
When besieging Gao Tong, this posterity was the most powerful and least afraid of death, and he saw it in his eyes, but this posterity was not their Jiangnan soldiers, but it was a pity.
Qin Erlang didn't say much, but just hugged his fist at Vice General Miao, which was regarded as a response.
Qin Sanlang saw Gu Jinan coming with Zheng Ying and Shangguan Zhuo, strode over with the child in his arms, and handed the child to Gu Jin'an: "Brother An, this is the child that Gao Tong used to threaten us before, he is called a fish boy, you look at it first, my second brother and I are going to help Vice General Lan and them." ”
The bandits in the stockade have not been completely eradicated, and they cannot afford to waste time here.
Gu Jin'an was wearing the soft armor given by the Zheng family, holding a knife in his hand, and after hugging the child, he said, "You guys hurry up and be careful." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Qin Erlang, afraid that Qin Erlang would be greedy for merit and implicate several of them.
Qin Sanlang nodded, greeted Qin Erlang, and the two brothers returned the same way to help Vice General Lan and kill that old nine and hundreds of bandits in a short time.
More than eighty percent of these bandits would rather be killed than surrender, and less than 20 were seriously wounded and captured.
That Lao Jiu wanted to escape, but was also captured alive by the Qin brothers.
Luo Wu and Jiang Qi also captured the four leaders of the water bandits alive and killed dozens of water bandits, making great contributions. But Luo Wu, Yang Bantou, and Jiang Qi were all injured, but fortunately, it was not too serious.
General Guo and 100 defenders of Fucheng also killed many water bandits.
The officers and soldiers of the envoys in both places, the defenders of He'an Mansion, the county soldiers and officials of Tianfu County, the Zheng family, and the guards of the Shangguan family ran in the stockade until dawn, and only then could they be regarded as clearing the water bandits in the water bandit village.
Some water bandits who wanted to jump into the water to escape for their lives were also killed by the officers and soldiers who stayed on the water.
After that, the number of people in the village was counted, and when Vice President Lan reported to General Guo and them, General Guo and the others were really startled.
There are 737 adult bandits in this inconspicuous water bandit village, and there are 390 small water bandits born to a group of water bandits.
"The youngest of this little bandit is seven years old, and the oldest is twelve. According to the rules set by Gao Tong, the son born to the water bandits in the village must concentrate on martial arts at the age of seven, and he must be brought to the water to practice at the age of ten. ”
"Gao Tong, this beast is not as good as a beast, but he is actually a child soldier! It's really cheap to capture him alive, and he should have chopped him up on the spot and fed it to the dogs. "General Guo was very angry, he didn't expect the water bandit village led by Gao Tong to be so terrifying.
Of course, there was something that made him even more angry.
"In addition to the water bandits, there are also 460 women in the village, these women are all captured by the water bandits from the passing boats of the Huaishui River and the banks of the Huaishui River, everyone has been overused by the water bandits, some are young and beautiful, they can be valued by the water bandits, and their lives are better, and some of them are old and decrepit, so they can only be subordinates."
Vice General Ren and Vice General Miao blushed when they heard this, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, the Huaishui bandits did a lot of evil, and they actually allowed this water bandit village to exist for so many years.
Before Vice Admiral Lan finished speaking, he said: "There is also a kind of child in the stockade who is contemptuously called a fish boy, they are born after their biological mother was used by many bandits, because their father is unknown, they have been made dumb since they were children, and they are slaves in the stockade...... In fact, they are not even minions, at most they are human targets, and last night when the bandits fled for their lives, they tied up these children and threatened us with their lives. ”
"Brutes, a bunch of brutes!" General Guo was so angry that he got up directly, rushed out of the house, took out his horsewhip, and beat the water bandit kneeling outside hard, and the anger in his heart went down.
In addition to robbing people, there are also a lot of looted property in the water bandit village, and the Liang prefect has already brought Ding Tongzhi and his staff to the stockade and is counting the stolen goods.
It was a busy day until the evening when the inventory was completed.
Governor Liang sighed while taking people to count his belongings: "It's so rich, it's really rich." ”
There are three full warehouses, plus five basements, which contain everything from gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even unique ancient books.
Is this a water bandit?!
I don't know which family's treasury I thought it was, but it was really a collection of all kinds of treasures, dazzling, breathtaking.
It's just that Governor Liang looked at these belongings and was very troubled, so he went to ask Zheng Ying to follow Guan Zhuo.
Don't look at the two of them young, they want to call Liang Governor's Uncle in terms of age, but the Zheng family and the Shangguan family behind the two are the big backers that Liang Governor's Mansion can't ask for when he kneels and begs. Liang Zhifu finally relied on the two families, and naturally respected the eldest grandson of the two families.
"It stands to reason that the matter of counting the property of the water bandit village should be done by Governor Gong and Governor Tan, but now that the two of them are ...... about to be arrested, where will they be asked to count any property."
Shangguan Zhuo said: "Governor Liang doesn't have to worry about this matter, just do it with confidence." Grandfather has written to you to take full responsibility for the administrative affairs after the extermination of the water bandits, and when the matter of the water bandits is reported to the capital, the capital will send a political official to take charge of the matter. ”
This is also one of the things that my grandfather wanted to plan.
The administrative official system of the previous dynasty was that there was a history of assassins above the prefect, but the assassins of the previous dynasty were all heroes, and all of them rebelled at the end of the previous dynasty, and there were several prefectures under the hands of one thing, and the strength was very headache.
The first emperor of Da Chu was born in the history of assassins, and he was afraid that Da Chu would one day be rebelled by the assassins below, so after the establishment of Great Chu, he immediately abolished the post of assassin and let the chief officials of each province act independently.
But grandfather and they are very dissatisfied with the abolition of the post of assassin, if there is no official above the prefect to watch, wouldn't the local prefect be overturned.
Look at this time, the prefects of Linhe Mansion and Jinling Mansion will not be turned upside down.
After Governor Liang got this, he finally dared to let go and do things.
Governor Tan is not stupid, at this time he has learned that the water bandit village was suppressed, he was directly frightened, and after waking up, he wanted to send someone to the capital to send a letter for help, but before he left the house, he was rushed into the mansion by the people who commanded the envoy of Jiangnan and tied him up in three or two.
"Bold, you dare to tie up the official, the official's family is the Marquis Mansion of the capital, you are tired of living, hurry up and give the official ...... Hmmm! ”
Before Governor Tan finished speaking, he was gagged by the officers and soldiers with a cloth regiment.
The deputy general who came to arrest people said: "Governor Tan, Governor Gong has sent the evidence of your collusion with water bandits to the capital." And the evidence of your collusion with the water bandits was also found in the water bandit village, and the four masters of the water bandits and the nine masters confessed that you were their backer, you still don't say anything about the Hou Mansion, what you committed, you should punish the nine clans, and your Hou Mansion is almost gone. ”
When Governor Tan heard this, he rolled his eyes and fainted again.
Governor Gong's Mansion was also arrested by the officers and soldiers of the Jianghuai Command Division, and the matter of the water bandits broke out completely, causing the Linhe Mansion and Jinling Mansion to shake endlessly.
The people scolded the two prefects and the water bandits, and the literati maniacs were as sharp as knives, and the scolding was similar to digging the ancestral graves of the two prefects.
No matter how much trouble the two mansions are up, it has nothing to do with Qin Sanlang and them.
After they exterminated the water bandits, they stayed for only one day, and on the third day, they set off back to Tianfu County, He'an Prefecture.
The news also spread to Tianfu County, and the people in the entire county knew that Zou County Cheng colluded with the water bandits, and this time the whole family would not survive.
Zou family.
Zou Yukun's daughter-in-law took her son to kneel and beg Mrs. Zou: "Mother-in-law, look at the inheritance, this is your most beloved grandson, he is not yet a child, can you bear to watch him die with the old thing?" ”
"The old thing has already hurt us so much, if you don't make a decision quickly, it'll be too late!"
Zou Chengji also cried and begged Mrs. Zou: "Grandmother, grandson, please make peace with your grandfather, only in this way can we save our lives...... The grandson doesn't want to die, the grandson is scared, woo woo woo ......"
