"Bell, bell, bell......!"

"Listen to the fathers and villagers of Leijiabao, we are also from Gaoyang, we broke Leijiabao, but it is just for the heavens, and we will never kill innocents indiscriminately, and now our leader has an order, let you go to the gate of the Lei family's compound to get silver and grain, one stone of grain per household, five taels of silver, and Tong Su is not bullied."

Wang Zhong didn't know where to find a broken gong, and kept shouting while knocking it.

"Divide the money and grain?" The tenants of the Lei family were stupid, when did the thieves be so kind? It's not going to be for us to get out, is it? But they don't need to do this at all, if they want to kill us, just rush in.

Finally, under the temptation of silver and food, a bold tenant walked to the Lei family's compound with courage and trembling.

The thief just now really didn't lie, the thief was really handing out money and food, and the leading thief even personally carried the weighed grain in front of him.

When some tenants happily carried the money and grain they had just received home, Leijiabao was boiling, no one cared if they could keep the money and food they received, they only cared about what they saw in front of them, and the remaining more than 200 tenants rushed out of their homes and rushed towards the Lei family's compound.

Good guys! These heroes are really living bodhisattvas in the world! With this grain, we can keep the seeds of autumn ploughing.

Li Xingzhi didn't care what they thought, looking at the crowd gathering more and more in front of him, he said: "Fellow villagers, a certain family is not a bandit or bandit, a certain family is Gaoyang Li Xingzhi, today the Leijia Fort was broken so that the villagers have something to eat, but you took the money and food, when the officers and soldiers arrive tomorrow, can you keep this money and food?" ”

The tenants were dumbfounded, yes, there was such a big thing, the government will definitely come to investigate tomorrow, and then the money and food will not have to be handed over, if the government convicts you of a thief again, then this net worth will be over.

"The villagers have a bad year this year, and there are not a few grains of grain in the ground, if this grain is handed over, do you still have a way to live? The Lei brothers are brutal and unkind, and they are tyrannical in our Gaoyang, do you tell me that there are fewer people in Gaoyang who have been forced by their brothers to destroy their families over the years? If you believe in Li, you will take the Lei family's money and food with Li to fall into the grass, and if I have a bite to eat, you will never starve everyone. Li Xingzhi spoke again.

"Falling grass? Isn't that a thief? It's going to kill your head. The tenants looked at the piles of money and grain in front of them, and couldn't help whispering.

Li Xingzhi said loudly again: "Of course, Li will not persecute you, but Lei Zhixian has been killed by a certain family, and tomorrow Lei Zhibo will be furious, won't you stay in this Lei Family Fort and wait for death?" ”

"Isn't it just falling grass? It is better to fall into the grass than to starve to death, and we are willing to follow Leader Li. "There are always some bold among so many tenants, and after weighing the stakes, there are twenty or thirty tenants who have no wives or children who are clamoring.

Li Xingzhi smiled: "Okay! Don't worry, if you follow Li, you will be your own brother in the future, Li will never treat you badly, you go to prepare the carriage and horses first, load the money and grain, and we will leave here tonight. ”

Someone took the lead, and when they heard that Li Xingzhi was going to leave that night, many tenants could no longer resist the temptation of money and food, and they clamored, "We are willing to follow Leader Li to the grass." ”

Li Xingzhi smiled, the so-called wealth was moving, and the tenants agreed to join the house, which was what he expected.

There were only about 200 tenants in Leijiabao, and because the pigtail soldiers often broke into Gyeonggi and plundered the population, many of them had no families at all.

In the end, there were 166 tenants who took the initiative to follow Li Xingzhi's grass, and among these 166 people, 99 were young and strong, and the rest were from their families.

Li Xingzhi did not embarrass those tenants who were unwilling to fall into the grass, and the grain and silver were still distributed, as for whether they stayed in Leijiabao or went elsewhere, Li Xingzhi didn't care.

More than a dozen mule carts carrying grain in Leijia Fort were driven to the front yard, the tenants who belonged to them were working hard to load grain and silver, Yang Biao took dozens of old and weak women and children to search in the fort, collecting the weapons scattered in the fort and the necessities of life at home, and Qian Anning, Lei Zhixian's housekeeper, was holding a torch to count the money, food and equipment that had been put on the car.

When the morning star rose in the east, Li Xingzhi knew that he was leaving, otherwise he would not have time to retreat to the area of Mapengdian, so he raised his head and ordered: "Stop, don't pretend, let's leave now, we don't want the rest of the food, let's go to Mapengdian now!" ”

"What?" The tenants who were loading the truck, Wang Zhong and others were stunned, there are still nearly 100 stones of grain, if they don't take it away, isn't that a bad thing?

Qian Anning had completely entered the role of the dog-headed military advisor, glanced at Li Xing cautiously, and asked hesitantly: "Leader Li, how much food do we have to consume every day for our two hundred brothers, and the rest is at least enough for everyone to support for a few months." ”

Li Xingzhi categorically denied Qian Anning's opinion, and ordered: "No, let's leave now, we must rush to Mapengdian before dawn, otherwise the county will definitely send troops to recruit tomorrow, and we won't get anything at that time, notify everyone to evacuate quickly." ”

Relying on the prestige of intercepting and killing Lei Zhixian and breaking through Lei Jiabao yesterday, Wang Zhong and the others all received orders loudly, and drew their swords one by one and shouted angrily: "Listen to Brother Li's words, withdraw now." ”

Where did the newly attached tenants dare to object, one by one reluctantly watched the remaining grain and helplessly drove the mule cart to set off.

Mapengdian is not far from Leijiabao, after the hour, Li Xingyi and his entourage arrived at the area of Dajiaotai near Mapengdian, which is also the temporary den chosen by Li Xingzhi, the reason is that there is a hill within a radius of several miles to connect Mapengdian, if Gaoyang County sends troops to recruit and suppress themselves, they can also advance and retreat to a certain extent.

"Carry the money and grain up the mountain, everyone has a full meal, and then go into the mountain." Li Xingzhi waved his big hand, which was to beckon everyone into the mountain.

Because it is located in the North China Plain, this mountain is not steep, only more than 20 zhang, Li Xingzhi and Wang Zhong and others have surveyed the terrain before, there is a broken village at the foot of the mountain, only need to repair the village by themselves and others to be able to station, Wang Zhong's mother-in-law spent the night in this village last night, as for the original owner of this village, Li Xingzhi did not want to ask, he only knew that this village was surnamed Li from now on.

While everyone was burying the pot and cooking, Qian Anning came over in a sly manner: "Leader Li, this time we have counted the captured villains who broke through Leijiabao, and the money and grain that were not taken away have been removed, a total of 5,800 taels of silver have been collected, and the grain is roughly 2560 stones, 70 knives and spears, 30 longbows, and 7 bird guns plus more than 200 catties of medicine. ”

"Good! You also ordered someone to store the materials in the back camp, and the medicine and bird guns must be properly kept, and then talk about it when everyone is full of food and drink, Mr. Qian knows Wenmo, and Li will have to rely on Mr. Li in the future. After Li Xingzhi finished speaking, he took out a silver ingot of about five taels from his body and threw it to Qian Anning.

Qian Anning took the silver with a happy face, kept thanking him, and secretly scolded his mother in his heart, if it weren't for your dog's day, would we be able to go up the mountain and fall into the grass?
