Chapter 22: The Robber's Den

The robbers in the bare village pretended not to hear, turned their heads to the side, and ignored Xiao Qiongzhi.

Patriarch Zhou Yuandong saw it and explained to Xiao Qiongzhi: "These seven robbers have very hard mouths, no matter how they beat them, they refuse to confide in the situation of their bare village. ”

Xiao Qiongzhi was a little disappointed, and deliberately said, "Then just kill them." Anyway, because we can't pay the imperial grain, there are many people who are forced to fall into the grass, and the government can't manage it at all. ”

"Yes. Their village chief was beaten to death by me and Yun Niang yesterday, if we don't kill them, they will definitely come to take revenge on us and our village in the future! Liu Wuxiu suddenly said loudly.

She was standing in the doorway, carrying a large burden and a bag of things on her shoulders, and stones and dogs standing on her left and right, all carrying a burden and carrying a small bag of things, obviously just coming from their own house.

"This ......" Zhou Yuandong hesitated.

After all, it was a far cry from what he had originally planned, and he hadn't even thought about killing them all.

And the seven robbers from the Bare Village couldn't hold their breath at this time.

They all turned their faces in shock and looked at Liu Wuxiu.

One of the short and thin middle-aged men looked at Liu Wuxiu and Chu Yunniang carefully, and shook his head: "Impossible, our village chief fights so fiercely, he will have a lot of intrigues, you two mothers-in-law, it is impossible to beat him and calculate him." ”

"By the way, I remember that our village chief also brought our military advisor yesterday, as well as the second, third, and fourth masters. Others don't say it, the conspiracy and trickery of the military division are so powerful, and the fight between the second and third masters is the same as that of the village chief, and it is so fierce! Another middle-aged man with a meaty face immediately added.

The more Liu Wuxiu listened, the more proud he became.

She calmly walked into the house and gave them a fierce look: "You guys are really stupid, there are many intrigues and tricks, what's the use?" What's the use of fighting fiercely? God is watching with long eyes, they haven't met the opponent of their fate, they have met, no matter how capable they are, they are also dead, hum, believe it or not! ”

"I think they are not only stupid, but also shameless and vicious, otherwise, they would not call their village a bare village, in order to rob our village of food, completely annihilate humanity, burn, kill and rob things, and do all kinds of evil." Behind Xiao Qiongzhi, someone suddenly said sarcastically.

Xiao Qiongzhi felt that this voice was a little familiar, and when she turned her head to look, she realized that it was Zhou Dayong who spoke.

"Second uncle, why are you back?" Xiao Qiongzhi was surprised and delighted, and asked curiously.

Zhou Dayong had already walked in from outside the door at this time.

He has a slender build, a straight back, and a handsome appearance.

Even if he is wearing coarse cloth clothes, he looks like a prince and looks very temperamental.

Three months ago, Zhou Dazhi and Chu Yunniang got married, and he asked for leave to come back.

Xiao Qiongzhi was introduced by Zhou Dazhi and met him once, and he had an impression.

According to Zhou Dazhi, Zhou Dayong is only 14 years old this year, but as early as two years ago, he was selected for Xiucai.

He is the only person in the entire Zhoujia Village who is qualified to study in the county.

He also once studied martial arts with Zhou Dazhi, and at a young age, he was a good fighter in fighting.

After last night's incident, Xiao Qiongzhi is now fully aware that in this extraordinary period when people are falling into the grass everywhere, there must still be a man like Zhou Dayong at home, who is both civil and military, to feel more secure.

"Your father can't rest assured that your mother and you, the daycare person sent a letter and asked me to ask for leave to come back. It just so happens that there are many classmates in the county school who are in the army, and there are not a few people left, and they are scheduled to start the holiday today, so I will come back today. Zhou Dayong walked up to Xiao Qiongzhi, reached out and gently touched her head, and explained with a smile.

"I see, that's great!" Xiao Qiongzhi was overjoyed.

Chu Yunniang was also very happy.

She immediately pulled Liu Wuxiu aside and whispered: "Wuxiu, there is something I want to tell you, my family can live in these two rooms, and now Dayong has returned from the county school vacation, if you live with me and Zhi'er, it is inconvenient, please let him live in the room you lived in last night, you take the dog and stones, and live with me and Zhi'er." ”

"Okay, that's it." Liu Wuxiu nodded briskly, and immediately took the dog and the stone, and put all the baggage on his body on the new pit built with city brick cakes.

Then she went to another room and moved what she had left there the night before.

However, Liu Wuxiu is busy here, and Xiao Qiongzhi is not idle here, trying to persuade Zhou Yuandong to kill all the remaining robbers in Guangyu Village.

She pointed to the middle-aged man with a meaty face among the robbers in Guangfu Village, and said to Zhou Yuandong: "Patriarch Grandpa, he said that their village chief also brought their military advisors yesterday, as well as the second, third, and fourth masters. I just thought about it, there were seven robbers from the village who came to my house yesterday, maybe these people are inside. ”

"Please let people go to my granary, and bring out the corpses of the robbers from the bare village inside, so that they can recognize them."

"Okay." Zhou Yuandong happened to be a little curious about the specific identities of those corpses, and was preparing to do so.

He asked the two teenagers beside him, under the leadership of Chu Yunniang, into the granary, and brought up the bodies of Li Jiedai, Huang Jinlian and other robbers from Guangyu Village, and placed them side by side in the courtyard.

Subsequently, two teenagers were asked to escort the seven bandits from the village who were tied up by five flowers to identify the corpses.

The corpses of Li Jiedai, Huang Jinlian and other robbers from Guangyu Village were all burned beyond recognition.

The short and thin middle-aged man waited for the robbers in the bare village, his eyes widened, and he stared at it tightly for a long time, but he didn't see who was who.

Xiao Qiongzhi had no choice but to give Zhou Yuandong an idea: "Patriarch Grandpa, the corpses of these bandits in the Naked Village are all scorched, they look the same, you can simply have people search their bodies and see if you can find something that can prove their identity from them." ”

"Okay." Zhou Yuandong immediately did so.

Soon, the teenagers who came with Zhou Yuandong each found a stone plaque from the corpses of Li Jiedai, Huang Jinlian and other robbers from Guangyu Village, as well as some scattered gold, silver, copper coins, rings, jade pendants and other belongings and ornaments.

Among them, the style of the stone plaque is uniform, with the name of the person on the front and a symbol of a bare butt on the back.

Zhou Yuandong was illiterate, so he asked people to hand over the stone tablets to Zhou Dayong to see.

Zhou Dayong read it carefully, picked out a stone tablet from it, shook its front and back at the short and thin middle-aged man and other robbers in the village, and asked in a deep voice: "This surnamed Li, is it your village chief?" ”

"Yes." The short, thin middle-aged man's face had changed dramatically at this time, and he replied very dejectedly.

Zhou Dayong took the opportunity to hand the remaining six stone tablets to them: "Look, who are these remaining stone tablets from your village?" ”

"This is the stone plaque of the three masters."

"This is the stone plaque of the military advisor."

"This is the stone tablet of the two beauties."

……

When the short and thin middle-aged man waited for the robbers of Guangfu Village to recognize the stone tablets, the identities of the seven deceased also came out.

They are the village chief, the three masters, the military advisors, the two beauties, the two masters, the four masters, and the five beauties of their bare villages.

Xiao Qiongzhi was a little curious, and asked the short and thin middle-aged man: "These beauties in your village don't look beautiful, why are they called beauties?" ”

"The men in our village are all singles, sharing blessings and hardships, and sleeping with women. Therefore, our women, whether they are beautiful or not, are called beauties. ”

"However, our village chief has a short temper, and over the years, we have robbed at least forty or fifty women into the village, and they have all been strangled to death by him in bed. Now in our village, there are only five beauties left. Among them, the two beauties Jingjing and the five beauties bought the new chairs from the Tanzhou brothel by our military division. ”

"There are also three beauties, widows who were deceived back from outside by our military advisor Golden Lotus." The short, thin middle-aged man replied patiently.

It seems that it was because of the death of Li Jiedai and other seven people, who were stimulated and knew that they were afraid.

It's just that at this time, I know that I am afraid, and it is too late.

Xiao Qiongzhi thought for a while and said to Zhou Yuandong: "Grandpa Patriarch, the robbers in Guangfu Village even want to rob innocent women, and they are strangled to death by their village chief, it seems that there is no good thing." Men and women, damn it! ”
