Chapter 373: Departure
Unexpectedly, after a while, suddenly a black thing burst out of the courtyard. "*Words*Love*First*Hair" We touched it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a box of gold.
Before we could clean up the gold nuggets scattered on the ground, another box of gold flew out. When the fourth box of gold flew out, a figure followed.
"You kid really have a set. "Fonda actually brought out four boxes of gold by himself.
"Let's go, Xing Wuyang is helping us attract attention and delay time. ”
Eight boxes of gold are almost two hundred catties. The three of us tied it with hemp rope and carried it without difficulty, first finding a place to stay, at least to avoid the search of the soldiers of the Northern Army. Losing two hundred catties of gold is not a trivial matter, and I am afraid that it will be restless for several days within a radius of dozens of miles.
"Brother Mu, what's wrong with you? This is the first time I've come out and stolen something, and I've stolen so much gold. To be honest, I've never even seen so many pieces. ”
I'm upset because the three of us didn't return all night, and Lu Jia might be worried. As a result, I didn't sleep all night, and before the sky was bright, I urged the two of them to hurry back.
After meeting Lu Jia, I knew that she hadn't slept all night.
"You haven't slept, have you? Get some sleep, I'll keep breakfast for you." Then she gave me a tired smile.
"Good. ”
After two hours of sleep, I woke up. To be honest, I felt groggy when I walked outside, and my head still hurt a little. I barely ate something, and I had to gather my men and leave quickly. After all, if you steal the official money, people will send troops to suppress it. In the play, isn't the fate of the Liangshan heroes who stole the Birth Gang not very different?
It turned out that Xing Wuyang had already returned, and he had also brought back six boxes of gold, so that our gold would be two hundred and fifty catties. I don't know if this is enough for so many people to stick to Nanjing. It is estimated that it is okay to eat frugally.
"How are you going to get to Nanjing?" Xing Wuyang asked me.
"I'm going to leave Qingzhou. I don't go to Jinanfu, go directly to Yanzhou, and Xuzhou goes south to Nanjing. This may be slower, but it will bypass Zhang Yu's troops. ”
"Isn't that going to take a long time?"
"We're afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble. to the war zone. Are we helping Zhang Yu or Li Jinglong? ”
"Yes. However, Li Jinglong has been placed under house arrest, and it is estimated that he will be killed by Qi Tai as a scapegoat soon. ”
"Why wasn't it killed by Zhu Yunwen?"
"Now the emperor is also imprisoned in the palace by the powerful ministers. It's like the deaf and the blind. You can't do anything big or small. ”
"Thank you for your gold. "I didn't want to talk to him too much, so I went to Fonda and Ashikaga.
A team of 1,000 people is quite large. I used to see that kind of scene when I was in college. We headed southwest at a speed of 30 kilometers a day, and the road was fairly smooth. The estimated speed should be half that of sailing.
After walking for half a month, I found a problem. They were all men of good blood, and there was a beautiful woman who followed me along the way. but it scratches their hearts with a hundred claws. Although Ashikaga no is already very restrained under his subordinates. But along the way, there are still cases of women from good families being abused.
I don't know about this, but when we were camping in a town, I told Fonda that soldiers were strictly forbidden to disturb the people, and that they would all set up camp on their own. Xing Wuyang still gave us enough tents and bedding. I didn't ask for a military uniform, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to tell it clearly.
In fact, I have already taken other people's money and other people's provisions, and I can't say it clearly.
It's still camping in the town that makes those Dongying ronins very unaccustomed. I think I have a house why live in a tent. Ashikaga no also resisted the pressure to make them obey. But no one wants to suffer this lonely sin. Then something happened.
Fonda quarreled with Ashikaga first. Fonda said that Ashikaga no connived at his subordinates, and Ashikaga no said that he was unkind and nosy. I almost got into a fight.
"What's going on?" I felt more and more that I was actually a marginal figure, and that the people who could really lead the army were generals like Fonda and the descendants of nobles like Ashikaga No. Of course. Xing Wuyang also has the talent to govern the army, and he also hopes that these thousand people can contribute to their Yan King. So I still actively want to intervene.
"His men steal gold and go to the kilns. ”
Things always have to be on the good side, and Japanese ronins visit kilns at least to give money. If they take the sword overlord and force the bow, there is nothing the common people can do. A one-man armed team, a bloody town like this, is like play.
Xing Wuyang has the same idea as me, he has never been a quartermaster in the army, and he doesn't understand logistics very well. There is so much gold, and it is also appropriate to give some to each soldier to encourage their enthusiasm. Prostitution was completely legal in those days.
"It's just in terms of army provisions. Fang Da was still indignant, "There are also those Dongying devils who can't get money, they go to rape the people." ”
"You may come up with evidence? Otherwise, you will slander us. Do you look down on us from Toei?" Ashikaga was even more angry.
"Evidence, you come with me, I'll take you to find it. ”
I was asked to follow me to the victim's home. But we were late, and the family, the defiled woman, had hanged herself. They don't have the money to hold any "memorial service", and according to the rules of the elders, suicide is considered a horizontal death, and those who die by suicide cannot enter the ancestral grave, but can only be sent to mass graves.
As a result, this is considered a dead and unproven. Although Fang Tong was a little furious when he looked at the scene in front of him, he couldn't do anything. In fact, I am already a little numb to such things, during the defense of Jinan, those soldiers of the Southern Army also raped many women in the city.
But the next morning, three of the Ronin were killed. The body is hanging on the archway of the town, which is miserable. The lower body is mashed.
Ashikaga Ye was also furious, and he didn't speak in Chinese: "Who did it? Fonda has no one else but you!"
Naturally, I couldn't let the two of them fight, and stopped them when they were about to make a big fight.
"You can't say that Fonda did it, just as he couldn't find evidence that you Dongying people had raped women, and you couldn't find evidence that Fonda killed him. What's more, Fen wasn't killed by Fang Da at all. ”
At night, I slept in a room with Fonda and Wuchen, and this thing was the same as his brother, and he had to snore. Although it was not as loud as Fang Tong, the tone was very special, so I didn't fall asleep all night, and only when it was dawn, Fang Da got up and went out to practice, and I took the opportunity to fall asleep.
And the three Dongying people were apparently killed in the middle of the night. Those who do farm work get up early and will definitely see him.
However, Ashikaga no didn't listen to me at all, which made me think that it was not a good thing for a declining medieval aristocrat to rule over these ronin, and that I had to find someone more reliable.
"Muto Mountains and Rivers We can kill ourselves, why do we have to follow you here, we are completely unfamiliar with the environment. We also have to endure the torture and killing of our compatriots. If you don't find out who killed them, I'll lead someone to kill a few of you, and then slaughter the whole town." ”
"I killed the person, so it's better to settle the account and find me alone. "The one who jumped out to speak was the little third son, that is, Han Sanpin.
"What are you doing here?" I knew he wasn't doing this kind of thing. Although he can get rid of this kind of ruthless thing, I think from the point of view of the method of killing, it should be a woman.
"I killed the people, did they really slaughter the whole town?"
"Hmph, you're very responsible. I'll see what you do. ”
"I'm going to kill him. ”
"Why did he kill these three people?"
"How do I know this? This child can even kill his own mother, and there are others who can't kill him? He is a demon, and he can kill people if he wants to. Such a little devil cannot remain in the world. ”
"Kill him," I said, "but you're the only one." [End of chapter]
