When Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang returned to the village, they were catching up with a large number of villagers from Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, carrying bags of city brick cakes snatched from Zhoujia Village and leaving the village.

Their figures, most of them, looked far thinner than the people in Zhoujia Village.

It's obviously been a starvation for a while.

When Xiao Qiongzhi saw it at first glance, her heart was quite sour.

I regret that when it rained in August, I didn't expect to ask Zhou Dazhi and the patriarchs of the surrounding villages to talk about how to harvest rice.

Zheng Bang immediately instructed the uncle who pulled the ox cart: "Quickly put the ox cart in the middle of the road and block their way!" ”

"Yes!" The uncle who pulled the oxcart replied quickly and loudly, and did so immediately.

It is estimated that through Zheng Bang's conversation with Zheng Bang just now, it can be seen that Zheng Bang is a very capable person, and he already has a sense of awe for him.

"Oops! The big hero and the little lucky star of Zhoujia Village are back, everyone run! At the same time, among the oncoming villagers of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village, some people actually recognized Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi and began to remind others loudly.

The others were not ambiguous, and immediately did not care about taking the main road, and very cleverly escaped into the weeds on both sides of the road.

Fortunately, Zheng Bang is very fast.

He carried Xiao Qiongzhi on his back, jumped off the ox cart, and chased after him. Stretch out your fingers and start giving them points one by one, so that they can't move their limbs.

Among them, most of the people estimated that they had heard of Zheng Bang's deeds of killing the robbers in Guangyu Village, but they just ran away, and once they were caught up by Zheng Bang, they obediently accepted the fate of being pointed, and did not have the courage to resist.

There were only seven middle-aged men in their forties and fifties who were running in teams, and when they saw that they were about to be overtaken, they relied on the overwhelming number of people, threw down the backpack on their bodies, and showed a tacit understanding of outflanking, took out the knife hidden in their bodies, waved it, and slashed at Zheng Bang.

Of course, the next moment, they were undoubtedly taken by Zheng Bang to hit the acupuncture points one step ahead, leaving only the fierce posture of wielding a knife for others to enjoy.

"Hahahaha! Look, everyone, Xu Buchou and their seven brothers met a big hero, and they didn't withdraw! At this time, leaning on the side of the car, a thin old man in his sixties who was pointed by Zheng Bang suddenly pointed at them and said happily.

A thin old man next to him, who looked slightly older than him, was obviously startled and glared at him: "Third child, shut up!" You want to die yourself, I won't stop you, don't pull everyone into the water! ”

The thin old man looked disappreciative: "Big brother, what are you afraid of!" They just hacked more than a dozen people to death in Zhoujia Village, and this time they were caught by the big hero, and when the people in Zhoujia Village know about it next time, they must be dead! ”

"That's it! Great hero, I want to atone for my crimes! Let me tell you, it was the seven brothers from Xujia Village who brought us to your village to grab food, and they are our heads! Another short and fat old man who looked to be in his fifties, more daring than the thin old man, surrendered directly to Zheng Bang.

was so angry that the seven brothers of Xujia Village all turned their heads at the same time and glared at him fiercely.

Among the seven brothers, one of the men who looked the youngest said: "Wang Changjiu, don't spray people with blood, our seven brothers are all acting according to the orders of our Xujia Village patriarch and Wangjia Village and Liujia Village patriarch, they are everyone's heads!" ”

Another man who looked the oldest among the seven brothers then said: "Wang Changjiu, don't be in a hurry to gloat first, this time you came to Zhoujia Village to grab grain, you eight brothers robbed a lot more than our brothers, the people of Zhoujia Village want to investigate it, we can't run, you eight brothers, you can't run either!" ”

"Hmph, Xu Yixi, Xu Yihuan, you are really dying, I don't know if you are afraid. Our eight brothers, just stealing food and not killing anyone, can we be like you? Wang Changchang was not afraid of them at all, and scoffed.

When Xiao Qiongzhi heard this, he asked him curiously, "How did the seven brothers of the Xu family organize you to come to our Zhoujia Village to rob?" How many people in our village did they hack to death? ”

"Little Fuxing, this matter has to start from the beginning." Wang Changchang was waiting for Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi to ask him and give him a chance to atone for his crimes, and he immediately spoke with great interest.

"Originally, the people of our Wangjia Village have heard about your Zhoujia Village's killing of the robbers in Guangfu Village, and your uncle's big hero killed dozens of robbers in Guangjia Village, and no one dares to come to Zhoujia Village to steal food."

"At the beginning of last month, the seven brothers of the Xu family brought their four cousins to our Wangjia Village and Liujia Village next door to find our patriarch, saying that as long as they were given five taels of silver, they would eleven of them, and they would be willing to help everyone and keep an eye on your Zhoujia Village."

"When the patriarch of your Zhoujia Village and your uncle are not in the village, they will come to inform everyone and come to your Zhoujia Village to grab food."

"Our patriarch considered that we really don't have much to eat, and if we can get a chance to grab a lot of food and save everyone's lives, it will be worth it, so I promised them to make up a few valuable things at the bottom of their house with a few old ladies in the village, and give them them as silver."

"Who are the four cousins of the seven brothers of the Xu family and what are their names?" When Xiao Qiongzhi heard this, she suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

"Of their four cousins, three of them are from Liujia Village in the next township, I don't know what their names are, but the one who is the leader is from your village, called Zhou Lili." Wang Changchang replied truthfully.

No wonder Zhou Lili and his four cousins were ambushed on the road yesterday, robbed Chu Yunniang and Liu Wuxiu, stabbed Zhou Yuangeng to serious injury, and stabbed Zhou Yuangeng's two younger brothers to death.

It is no wonder that in the money bags of Zhou Lili and his four cousins, there will be more than 20 large and small objects such as jade pendants, silver bracelets, gilded hairpins, gilded collars, and golden melon seeds, which are estimated to be valuable things from the patriarchs and old ladies of the three villages of Wangjia Village, Xujia Village, and Liujia Village.

Xiao Qiongzhi had a bottom in his heart, and instructed Wang Changjiu: "Continue to talk about your robbery of our Zhoujia Village!" ”

"Yes." Wang Changchang respectfully agreed.

"It wasn't until early this morning that Xu Yixi, one of the seven brothers of the Xu family, came to our village again and informed our patriarch that your Zhoujia village patriarch and your uncle were heros, and they took a noble man out of the village in a carriage and ox cart, and they should be going to a big place like the county seat, and they won't be able to come back for a while."

"So our patriarch took us and followed him."

"When I arrived at the entrance of the village, people from Xujia Village and Liujia Village also arrived at the entrance of the village. Everyone was discussing and sneaking into the village, but how do you know, there are four people guarding the entrance of the village in your village, and before we can enter the village, they found us, and shouted loudly while running towards the village: Robbers are coming again! Hide, everyone! ”

"We were so frightened that we all wanted to retreat, but only the seven brothers of Xujia Village were bold, quick with their hands and feet, and ran fast, and chased directly into your village, caught the four people guarding the entrance of the village, and hacked them all to death! He also shouted at your village: The people of Wangjia Village and Liujia Village are killing people! ”

"We knew that this time we were on their thief ship, so we had to admit it and follow them into the village to grab food."

"So, how did you know that the grain in our village was made into a city brick cake?" When Xiao Qiongzhi heard this, she asked curiously.
