Chapter 160: The Arrangement Begins
What is the use of a backbone face? He was an orphan and had no concerns, and perhaps because of this, he could not understand the meaning of his family, but he had tried his best to empathize with their feelings.
"Creditors, as I say, these people are so vulnerable, and what should we fear from them? They were all driven away by us. ”
None of the people next to him spoke, and the most powerful people in the village were the creditors and the hall owner.
Xiao Qiang is the oldest person present, and he grew up with this village step by step.
Zhao Wuxian's strength is the strongest among everyone, a big knife is vigorous, the burly man is vigorous, and Xiao Qiang always looks a little thin, short and concise.
It's not once or twice that the two are fighting openly and secretly.
But most of the time, unless Xiaoqiang's bottom line is touched, it is generally Xiao Qiang who lets Zhao Wuxian go.
"But have you ever wondered what you're going to do if they come back next time and there are more of them?" Xiao Qiang accused mercilessly.
"The brothers in the village are all powerful, even if they come again, one hundred and eighty, it will be one for ten and one for hundred." Zhao Wuxian said confidently.
"What if there are a thousand more? And what about another 10,000 people? The number of people in our village is not more than 1,000, only a few hundred, how can we compete with so many officers and soldiers? Even if the other side is not very good, but the truth that many people are invincible with two fists and four hands, don't you understand? ”
"What? Wang Fatzi said that there are so many people? ”
Wang Fatzi refers to the local county order of Kuayi, this person is quite fat, plump, and has a big belly like a drum, and is called Wang October, because the pregnancy is October.
Wang Fatzi is the county official who contacts the mountain bandits in the mountains, and often reveals all kinds of information to them.
If the government issued an order to clean up, Wang Fatzi would inform them in exchange for the corresponding money, and then go up the mountain to search for it in a decent way, but in fact he would not arrest them.
Except that after the list made them miserable, Wang Fatzi didn't dare to contact them, and he was afraid that they would expose him, cause trouble, and save his life.
"Wang Fatzi didn't say that he hadn't contacted us for a long time, and he was probably scared." Although Xiao Qiang was a little angry, she still resisted her crusade and told the truth to everyone.
"This, we are not the only bandits in this vicinity, there are other people on the other side of Cuiluo Mountain, and besides, the other party should not send tens of thousands of people to encircle and suppress us." When Zhao Wuxian heard Xiao Qiang say this, he himself was a little unsure.
"It's not a question of whether it should or shouldn't, declaring war today, I suspect that the other party just wants to test our strength, not really want to fight us, don't be too happy." Xiao Qiang pinched the corners of her forehead and said with some concern.
"Creditor, I am not happy if you say this, the brothers are desperately trying to drive people away, but you are talking to us here about frustration."
Zhao Wuxian hates to hear such words the most, every time they have something, Xiao Qiang is here to be alarmist, this creditor is not worthy of his name, he should have known that he would have left it to him.
"It's not that I'm discouraged, it's that there was a better way to deal with this matter, you can't be so tough, you have to think about the lives of your brothers."
"Brothers' names? Then we will wait for people to attack the mountain step by step, and then wait for death?
Wouldn't it be better if we didn't teach them a lesson, let them know how good we are, and then retreat from the difficulties? “
"Can you not use your simple mind to think about things? Don't you have any opinions? Paperwork, you can tell me. ”
Xiao Qiang was a little deflated, he didn't want to argue with Zhao Wuxian anymore, this person was simple-minded and had well-developed limbs. Even arguing with him too much doesn't make much sense.
The clerk is the only one in their group who has read and read, and it is also because he can't help himself.
When he came to the village, he became a bookkeeper, and every time he robbed and confiscated goods, he would get money and food in the register, and he was an upright person, and he usually only did clerical things, and did not participate in robbing houses.
To be honest, it's very incompatible to mix with their group of bandits.
The clerk was pale, his eyelids were heavily blackened, and his old mother had been killed by the officers and soldiers.
His old mother had been ill for a long time, and in order to raise money for his old mother's treatment, the clerk went up the mountain.
He attaches the most importance to filial piety, and he knows that after his old mother was executed, he hated to go with his old mother immediately, but he was still stopped by others, so he did not die.
Xiao Qiang also pitied him on weekdays.
The clerk shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything.
Others, you look at me, I look at you. No one spoke.
A peacemaker stood up, he was not young, just over fifty, and he was the eldest among the people present, named Jia Qing.
I saw him stand up with his head shaken, and then said in a general assessment: "In my opinion, what the owner of the village said is not bad, but what the hall master said is also right." Everyone has their own reasoning, and everyone is thinking about the brothers, isn't it? ”
As soon as this remark came out, some people nodded submissively, and some whispered to cater to it, but no one put forward specific opinions.
Because they couldn't fight the lobby master Zhao Wuxian, they didn't want to stand on the side of the creditor and annoy Zhao Wuxian, and they didn't want to help Zhao Wuxian bully the creditor.
It's a dilemma.
"Don't make all this useless, you just say whether to fight or not?" Zhao Wuxian's face was black and red, obviously angry.
Jia Qing shuddered when he was yelled, and instantly retreated a few steps back, not daring to look at Zhao Wuxian.
Xiao Qiang looked at this scene, a little helpless.
"I'll just say it bluntly, I don't think we should fight with the officers and soldiers anymore, we will pack up the packages, collect the money and food, prepare for the preparation, and then go to a higher base to avoid disasters as before."
"But the creditor!" Zhao Wuxian wanted to protest, but Xiao Qiang waved his hand and refused to speak.
"In the next two days, you will do a few more business, grab as much as you can, take as much as you can, and then we will leave."
This business is their term, which means robbery.
Because of these officers and soldiers, they have not moved against the caravans on the trade routes for a long time.
Looking around everything in this hall, precious calligraphy and paintings, high-quality wood, beautiful tea bowls, cups and plates, mink and tiger fur and all kinds of precious things were all snatched by them.
Xiao Qiang may feel a little nostalgic, even if it is robbed, but they are also operating it step by step.
But they are robbers, they are bandits, and this is indelible.
"Creditor, can you bear to watch our place being found by officers and soldiers and then destroyed?"
"Zhao Wuxian, don't talk about this matter anymore, I don't want to give my brothers' lives, if you want to fight with the officers and soldiers, you can, you can take those brothers who follow you to die, I don't care about you."
Xiao Qiang was also annoyed, and the tone of his words was also very heavy, and he found that no matter how well he talked to Zhao Wuheng. The other party seemed to not understand human words, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Zhao Wuxian saw that Xiao Qiang was really angry, so he closed his mouth and sat down next to him, silent.
Among them, the fierce brother who had just been torn up and eaten the meat was embarrassed to eat it again, because the atmosphere present was indeed not very good.
But so what? This matter of discussing the overall situation has nothing to do with them, and there are also grades in this village, anyway, the creditor and the hall owner have the final say.
The matter ended unhappily.
Xiao Qiang was not happy that they had won the battle, and from the beginning he did not advocate that he should fight with those officers and soldiers.
And the weakness shown by the other party is obviously deliberate, this is not out of feeling, from the other party's means of attacking, the efficiency of the attack, it is definitely not as weak as it appears today, absolutely not.
Zhao Wuxian was happy too early, there was nothing to be happy about in this matter at all.
Xiao Qiang is a brain, so today he can sit in this position and sit in the position of creditor.
However, at Xiao Qiang's insistence, the brothers in the stockade finally silently began to pack their packages, pack their luggage, and prepare to retreat at any time.
Xiao Qiang's heart settled down at this time, as long as they retreated layer by layer, retreated to a more hidden cave, it was absolutely no problem to live in the cave for a month.
Wang Fatzi also said earlier that this is a character from the capital, and it is impossible to stay with them for a year and a half.
If you can't find them up the mountain, you will give up after a few months.
Xiaoqiang fought this idea, and he consumed them until he consumed them.
However, two days later.
The officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain began to beat drums and gongs there again, shouting for a declaration of war.
When Xiao Qiang knew about this, her first reaction was to go to Zhao Wuxian and ask him not to lead his brothers down the mountain to fight them.
As a result, before he could find Zhao Wuxian, he had already learned that Zhao Wuxian had led some of his brothers down the mountain again......
Xiao Qiang was so angry that she almost jumped to her feet.
Zhao Wuheng disobeyed his order again and went down the mountain privately, even if he had discussed the matter of retreating before, but as soon as he encountered the other party's provocation, Zhao Wuxian would lose his mind, and then rushed over recklessly.
And then this time, they won again.
There's definitely a ghost in there......
When she received the news that the mountain bandits were active, Li Jicai was still lying in the corridor and basking in the sun, looking at the blue sky, and sometimes Jiang Xihu would also show her some scrolls, Li Jicai also took a symbolic casual look, and didn't pay much attention to it, in fact, she didn't understand the text of Chu Guo until now, and Li Jiye took her to see it before.
Now that Li Jiye is gone, no one will take him to continue reading and reading those books.
She had made an appointment with Jiang Xihu before, and when Jiang Xihu appeared in front of her again, it meant that it had come to the right time, and she could dispatch.
Afraid? Nervous? Perhaps.
But in the face of what is to be done, it is useless to be afraid, there is nothing but to accept and face it bravely, there is no other way to hide.
If she wants to succeed, she must start with this first step.
I don't know if Jiang Xihu can believe it, but at this moment, she has no other choice but to rely on him.
If she can take this opportunity to exterminate the mountain bandits and make great contributions so that she can make a name for herself, then it will definitely not be a loss for her.
Li Jicai was broken two legs and one arm. As for the other parts of her body, she had already designed and prepared them in advance.
When she was sent out of the door, she took off the strips of cloth from her body, and she stinked like a beggar.
Since coming to the Kua chair, except for Dr. Wang, Jiang Xihu and Jiang Xihu's subordinates, Li Jicai has never seen anyone else, so he will not worry about being discovered by anyone, so he will be reported.
She made herself very embarrassed, designed the plot accordingly, and walked step by step according to this step.
Jiang Xihu knew that no matter how much he shouted at the foot of the mountain, it would be impossible for him to really touch the true core of the group of mountain bandits.
But if they rush to the mountain, they have to worry about the traps set by the mountain bandits, because there have been people who have suffered such losses more than once.
Therefore, according to Li Jicai's idea, it is undoubtedly the best choice to dismantle these bandits from the inside.
And in case, Li Jicai can really create a miracle.
Even if they set a fire on the mountain, they could reveal the exact location of the bandits, and maybe they would have other ways to do it.
In fact, thinking about it, it is also difficult to choose a suitable candidate to enter that group of bandits.
First of all, it is in this sensitive period that a stranger suddenly joins that group of bandits, which will definitely arouse suspicion, and if you don't do it, you will be killed on the spot.
But Li Jicai is different, Li Jicai is a woman, and she is a dirty and disabled woman, who is hunted down and killed, and the group of bandits is actually a scavenger.
It is said that there are not many women in their cottage, and Li Jicai is a woman, which is very important, if it is a man, it may backfire.
These are the most suitable reasons for Jiang Xihu to conclude that Li Jicai will go, and he also believes that she will not betray him.
If she were to betray herself, it would be a loss for herself, not for him.
Two thugs, chasing and killing a woman, chased and killed to the foot of the mountain, just not far from the robbed carriage, which was also arranged in advance.
Just waiting for the group of mountain bandits to rob people back.
Jiang Xihu and Li Jicai agreed on a time, once it was more than ten days, if there was no movement, Jiang Xihu could determine that Li Jicai was dead.
And they continue to lure those mountain bandits on the other side of the mountain, and every time they consciously consume them and paralyze them, so as to obtain the greatest benefits.
This matter is gradual, and it can reap good results, Li Jicai plans like this, and he must believe that he can succeed.
So Jiang Xihu had a feeling of watching a good show quietly.
