Chapter 162: The Army Strikes
I slept a lot during the day, and I cried again, but before Shen Ni felt sleepy, the sky was already bright.
After breakfast, she was not in the mood to take care of the vegetable garden, leaving Wen Xiaolou alone at home, and went to Wen's house to inquire about the news.
When she came to the Wen family, Shen Ni's father and Shen Niniang also rushed over because they couldn't rest assured, and then Zhang's parents also came.
The three in-laws are crammed into one room, and you and I discuss it word by word.
Shen Ni is not a person who likes to mix things, even if he mixes in, it is estimated that he will not be able to find out why, so he can only sit next to his father and mother and listen quietly.
……
……
At noon, an army set out from Suigu County, and after a brief foothold in Wutong Town, it drove to various villages with thunderous momentum.
For a time, the entire Wutong Town, and even the entire Suigu County, were all in a mess.
Because they don't know what the army is looking for, everyone is in danger.
Soon, this army came to Fengqi Village.
When the army appeared at the entrance of Fengqi Village, Chen Lin, who had already received the news, trotted all the way to the Wen family to report the news.
Wen Changming had expected it, but he didn't expect the army to come so quickly, and he was suddenly very nervous.
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, and since you can't avoid it, you can only take one step at a time.
Let her mother-in-law take care of Wen Xiaolou, and the others all went out and stood on the street waiting for the judgment of fate.
Shen Ni also stood behind the people, she hadn't seen the army yet, and she didn't know what it was like.
With a deafening sound of iron hooves, a group of men and horses galloped towards with smoke and dust, and even the earth was hummed with shock, as if it were an earthquake.
Shen Ni put his hands on the pergola, and couldn't help but tremble.
Fear spreads throughout the body.
The tall horses, all of them, were particularly handsome, and immediately sat a group of soldiers in heavy armor, with cold eyes and serious expressions, as if a group of devils had crawled out of hell, so that she did not even have the courage to face them.
A moment later, a man who looked like a general waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him pulled the reins, and all the horses let out a roar and stopped in unison.
The general sat on his horse, pointed at his horsewhip, and shouted, "Who is the village chief?" Come out and meet me! ”
"I, I'm ......" The village chief walked tremblingly out of the crowd, his eyes full of fear.
"Let me ask you, is there a man born in the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty in your village? According to the truth, if you dare to conceal half a point, this crime will be condemned to the nine clans......"
"Don't dare, don't dare, back to the general's words, the village is sparsely populated, and there are very few children born in the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Two of the children were born that year, but they were also taken away by the people in the yamen and fell to death 20 years ago, so there was no one born in the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty in this village."
"True?"
"It's true!"
"If you dare to deceive the general, I will not spare you.
Besides, everyone listened, Ben will make a promise here, if there is anyone who knows, you can secretly report to Ben General, and the court will reward a hundred taels of gold and give silk and satin, and absolute secrecy will not be known.
If you think about it carefully, one hundred taels of gold, that's the amount you can eat and wear for three lifetimes! Really not tempted? ”
The black-faced general sat on his horse and glanced down, taking in the expressions of the men.
This recruitment errand, especially one that does not know the specific information, is the most difficult to do, so he deliberately came up with this trick, using the greedy nature of people to achieve the goal.
There will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and he will not believe it, and he will not be able to investigate the result.
