Chapter 20 Living Mouth

In this way, the idea is clear.

No wonder these villagers behaved strangely, no wonder they cooperated closely, and all of them had superb martial arts, it turned out that these people were all soldiers of the previous dynasty. It is estimated that when he found out that the Great Zhou sergeant was here, he couldn't hold back the restlessness in his heart, so he made a brazen move.

The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty called the former dynasty, generally referring to the Qing Dynasty, and specifically referring to the former Qin. In fact, for the people, it's just that the name of the country has changed, and everything in the former Qin seems to have not changed. Even though the empress has issued many decrees over the years, whether it is to change the six yamen to spring, summer, autumn and winter, or to make obvious changes in the text and administrative areas. Everything in Daqin has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to change.

As for the empress, everyone knows that it will still be Qin's world in the future. The empress has no relatives, and even today's royal family is a former Qin royal family. Once the empress is a hundred years later, only the imperial family of the former Qin will be able to reorganize the dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty's hatred for the Great Zhou was the same as that of the former Qin.

Lu Pengyuan kicked a piece of corpse bone to pieces, and sneered: "These people really don't know whether they live or die, if they keep forbearing, maybe they will really become a big force in the end." If you jump out so quickly, you won't be far from destruction! ”

The imperial court for the remnants of the Qing Dynasty is always cut first and then played.

Whether it is the six doors or the Great Zhou Inner Secret Agent, secret investigations are carried out in all parts of the world. Once the traces of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty are discovered, it has always been a bloody storm.

"At that time, there were many Jianghu sects in the Qing Dynasty, and many Jianghu warlocks wanted to enter the public house to beg for food, so they would attach themselves to the imperial court. At that time, there were many strange people in the Qing Dynasty, forming a place called the worship hall. I heard that there is a way to resurrect the dead, even if there is only a pile of bones left that rot, he can turn this pile of bones into a brave warrior. But there are also a lot of disadvantages, like this, you can only wander in the grave, but it's just one of them. ”

Lu Pengyuan patted the dirt on his hands, he knew these ghouls very well.

After a while, Lin Mazi's body was found.

Not long after he died, there was a big difference between him and the rotten bones around him. He looks fairly normal on the outside. A sergeant poked his clothes with a spear, and it went straight to the dent. Picking it open with a gun again, all the internal organs in Lin Mazi's body were devoured, and the whole person's stomach was empty.

"Brother Tang, Lin Mazi is dead, except for a remnant of the Qing army, we have nothing to gain. In the case of tax silver, should the breakthrough be placed on that Hu Yong? ”

Lu Pengyuan stroked his beard and guessed.

Tang Yun shook his head: "Hu Yong doesn't seem to be a fake when he speaks, he should just be brought here." When you get back, take him to the Magistrate's House. If nothing happens, let him go. ”

There are cool officials in the magistrate's court, and they are all masters of execution. Even if an iron man goes in, he can torture his mouth.

The human heart is complex and changeable, and many times it is impossible to see through a person's heart at a glance. Therefore, when necessary, it is necessary to use some extraordinary means.

Of course Lu Pengyuan didn't care, a sneer appeared on his face: "Don't worry, I don't need the group of people in the Governor's Court, I have a way to make him speak." ”

Tang Yun frowned: "This person's reuse is not of much value, but after all, he still has the identity of the Liang Palace, so it is best to let the people from the Liang Palace's Mansion come and deal with it." ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden murmur of voices from the front yard.

Several sergeants twisted a dusty-faced villager in, the villager was still stained with blood, and the posture of his hands was very strange, as if he had been broken, and he must have injured his muscles and bones during the scuffle.

"General, catch a live mouth!" The sergeant said.

Lu Pengyuan glanced at the villager and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you ask you to catch that Wu Zhu, why haven't you caught it yet?" ”

"General, the brothers have all been sent out, and they have searched inside and outside this Huishan village, but they have never found a person wearing a mask. The subordinates estimated that this person should have disguised himself and fled! ”

"I want their heads, what's the use of such a cannon fodder! Drag it down and cut it! Lu Pengyuan waved his hand impatiently.

A few sergeants dragged the villager and were about to drag him back, but he didn't expect the villager to suddenly lie on the ground and shout: "Master, the little one knows a lot, and the little one is willing to say anything." ”

Lu Pengyuan was furious: "What kind of bullshit, cat, dog, I also want to deceive the general!" ”

The villager knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Adult, the small one is the Qilin Wei Baihu." The priests knew some of the things that were known. ”

100 households?

Lu Pengyuan and Tang Yun glanced at each other, Baihu was a junior officer in the Qing Army's military system. Although the official is not big, after all, he knows more than those ordinary soldiers.

Lu Pengyuan made a gesture, and the sergeants dragged the hundred households in front of Lu Pengyuan. These hundred households were obviously beaten, and the blood stains on their bodies were all oozing out from under their clothes, and they were all his own blood.

Tang Yun glanced at him: "What do you know?" ”

Baihu didn't dare to raise it, but just lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "We people were originally tasked with the mission of reviving the Qing Dynasty. However, several adults also know that Qing Chao has long been dead for a long time, and what grievances and grievances are all the business of the previous generation, what does it have to do with me? The little ones didn't want to get involved, but you know, adults, those of us who eat soldiers' salaries, do whatever they want us to do. ”

"Soldiers' pay? Do you still have a court? Lu Pengyuan sneered.

"Your Excellency, don't believe it, we really have a court." Seeing Lu Pengyuan's glare, Baihu hurriedly explained, "But no one knows where the imperial court is." Usually the imperial court prepares a place for us to be stationed, usually in a small remote village or in a mountain stream. Although it is a little bitter, but we have given money, and we can't say anything. ”

Lu Pengyuan's eyes suddenly narrowed: "So, do you still have a lot of people stationed there?" ”

Baihu nodded: "That's right." Adults, small ones know a lot of places, and can help adults crack this anti-thief together. ”

"You're going to fall back quickly."

If it was in the past, it would be absolutely impossible for Lu Pengyuan to let go of this credit, but now he is still entangled in important matters, so he couldn't help waving his hand and said, "This matter will be discussed later." Let me ask you, did you do the tax money lost in Guangdong? ”

"But what did you say?"

Baihu took out a silver ingot from his body and put it in Lu Pengyuan's hand.

The mark on the silver ingot is the batch of tax silver that was lost in Guangdong.

"Where does this money come from?" Lu Pengyuan felt that his breathing was much heavier.

"It's the pay we were given. But my lord, the last time I was paid for the soldiers, I happened to follow me quietly, and I know where they put the money. ”
