Chapter 26 Three Catch-Laws
When Zhang Biao and Yu Xiaoyu led the people to Wangjiazhuang, Ouyang Feixia had already robbed the grain and grass, and was ready to go, the three of them converged, according to the previous discussion, Ouyang Feixia led people to escort the grain and grass back, Yu Xiaoyu and Zhang Biao entered the city from the north gate again, and ransacked the Zhou family and the Qin family.
At the place where Xiaoyu and Zhang Biao's soldiers were united, all the infantry were brought back by Ouyang Feixia, and thirty cavalry were borrowed from Ouyang Feixia, and everyone parted ways and ran separately.
Zhang Biao heard Yu Xiaoyu say that it was Zhou Zhiren's second son on horseback, and he wanted to beat him to death with a stick, so Yu Xiaoyu stopped him and threw him in the car for Ouyang Feixia to take back to the cottage.
Hongyu Building is full of people, lively, at this moment I saw a person running into the building in a panic, glanced at the county order, and hurriedly looked for it, and when the people were led to the second floor to see Zhou Zhiren, Yu Xiaoyu and they happened to have arrived at Wangjiazhuang.
"Master, it's not good, our Zhoujiazhuang let the bandits rob it!" As soon as he saw Zhou Zhiren, the guy who delivered the letter knelt down and cried and shouted.
"What nonsense, can the bandits' house be robbed by the county order?" Qin Shengcai drank a little too much, and scolded drunkenly.
"Really, sir, a group of bandits ran to our village and took away all the gold, silver and jewelry of our family! The second son was also taken captive!! The subordinate shouted anxiously.
"What?! Where are the bandits! Zhou Zhiren was also shocked and hurriedly asked.
"The villain doesn't know where the bandits, this group of people are wearing cyan tights, there is a tiger head and a flying bird on it, a word in the middle, the villain is illiterate, I don't know what to write, the leader is a young man with a good appearance, holding a wooden stick, they are very numerous, it is estimated that there are two or three hundred people, and there are forty or fifty horses alone, and they ran to our village, the housekeeper did not open the door, and let people shoot an arrow to death, this group of people turned over the cabinet, forced the eldest lady to say where the money was hidden, took the money away, and tied the second son to the horse, As soon as the smoke slipped, it was gone. ”
When Zhou Zhiren heard this, he stopped drinking the wine, hurriedly went downstairs, beckoned his subordinates to prepare the car, and arranged for someone to go back to the yamen to gather people first, and he hurried home. The landlords and rich gentry were no longer in the mood to drink, so they sent people home one after another, and then rushed to the county office.
Qin Shengcai also woke up, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to go home and call people, and they all took them to the county yamen, and he and his eldest son also hurriedly rushed to the yamen.
Not long after, about five or six hundred strong men gathered at the gate of the county government, these are the local landlords and rich gentry's subordinates, everyone has long expected that the bandits will run away, this will pull a little head, to Zhou County Order to make up face, it can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow.
Just when everyone was discussing in the county office, I saw another person running in outside, it turned out to be the family of Qinjiazhuang who also came to report the news, he was afraid, a little later than the Zhou family, and went to Hongyu Building first, but he heard that they all came to the county office, and hurriedly ran here.
"Master, it's not good!" The subordinate ran to Qin Shengcai's side, hugged Qin Shengcai's thigh and cried.
"Master, it's not good, Qinjiazhuang was burned down, the eldest lady and the second lady were killed, and none of your family members were left, they were all killed by bandits!"
"You, you, what did you say?" Qin Shengcai couldn't believe it at all, and when the next person said it again, he didn't come up in one breath, and fainted directly.
How could everyone still sit still, and hurriedly sent people back to their Zhuangzi to check, and they were all nervous, for fear that their own family would also be in trouble.
Zhou Zhiren also ordered someone to send Qin Shengcai home first, and then beckoned Qin Shengcai's eldest son Qin Yong, gathered people, and went back to Zhoujiazhuang to check in person.
Qin Yong had the heart to go back to Qinjiazhuang first, but the county order gave an order, and as the head of the capital, he didn't do anything, so he hurriedly sent his henchmen to Qinjiazhuang to investigate.
Everyone hulala walked to Zhoujiazhuang, in addition to the landlords funded by the family, Qin Yong brought more than 30 arresters, the county lieutenant also urgently summoned two hundred sergeants, and the group went out of the south gate and went straight to Zhoujiazhuang.
When they got out of the south gate, the spies of the Huanglong Army hurriedly went to report to Yu Xiaoyu, who received the news and led everyone to enter through the north gate and went straight to Qin's house.
The Qin family is in the east city of the county seat, a contiguous mansion, a large family, at this moment the family is also in a hurry, Qinjiazhuang was burned, no one in the Qin family survived, at this moment Qin Shengcai was still sick and lying on the bed, for a time the chickens and dogs in the house jumped, and the people were panicked.
When he arrived at the door of Qin's house, Yu Xiaoyu motioned for Zhang Biao to take people in, and he led people outside. Yu Xiaoyu knew that Zhang Biao wanted revenge, and the Qin family would inevitably have to bleed, although he understood the truth, but when he saw ordinary people being killed, he still couldn't bear it, so he simply couldn't see it and let Zhang Biao act.
When Yu Xiaoyu and the others rushed to Qin's house, some people secretly went out of the city and reported to Zhou County.
About half an hour, Zhang Biao was covered in blood, holding Qin Shengcai's head in his hand, and led people out, and everyone was all smiling.
Without too many words, everyone galloped and rushed towards Zhou's house.
At this time, Zhou Zhiren also brought people back, and everyone came to the door of Qin's house, saw the fire in the sky, and sighed in their hearts, this gang of bandits is too rampant, killing people and setting fire in broad daylight, killing people all over the house, where are the bandits so bold?
Hearing someone say that the bandits went to Zhou's house, Zhou Zhiren shouted: "It's broken!" He hurriedly led people to his own house.
When Zhou Zhiren arrived, the Zhou family, like the Qin family, was only left with a raging fire.
"I, I ,...." Before Zhou Zhiren finished speaking, he was in a hurry, fell off his horse, and fainted.
Qin Yong heard others say that the bandits were rushing towards the west gate, so he hurriedly led people to the west gate to chase after him, but when he left the city gate, he didn't see half a figure, and he returned to the county office in despair.
In one day, the family was ruined, and the accumulation of three generations for decades was ruined, but the shadow of the enemy was not seen, Qin Yong couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood when he thought that this was also a pain in his heart.
Zhang Biao led people to gallop on horseback, although the revenge was not fully avenged, but it was almost over, thinking of Qin Shengcai's expression of remorse and regret after hearing that he was the son of Zhang Blacksmith, Zhang Biao became more and more excited, and couldn't help shouting "Woo~ho~".
Everyone was also in a good mood, this time the harvest was quite fruitful, and a few of them also took the opportunity to catch the daughters of the Zhou family and the Qin family for a while, and they were all excited at this moment, shouting and cheering.
When he arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain, Lao Lai hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate him, and after inquiring about the situation, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Biao aside.
"Big boss, this time it's too big, you have to do what I say, like this and this..."
Zhang Biao was in a happy mood at the moment, and kept nodding his head.
It was not too early for everyone to come back, and when they rested a little, it was completely dark. Lao Lai ordered people to set up an offering table in the courtyard of the village, prepare pig's head, sheep's head, and cow's head, and light a torch.
The crowd was unclear and watched. At this time, Zhang Biao held Qin Shengcai's head in one hand and Zhou Zhiren's second son in the other, and walked to the offering table. Ouyang Feixia and Yu Xiaoyu stood on either side of Zhang Biao.
Lao Lai picked up the paper money, lit it and threw it into the brazier, on the raging fire, and said loudly: "Brothers, today the three generals led you to rob the Zhuangzi, and washed the Zhou and Qin families with blood, not that our generals are fond of killing and killing, but there is a reason for it, that Zhou Qin's two families occupied the land of General Huwei, hollowed out the general's property, and forced the general's parents to death. ”
After Lao Lai finished speaking, everyone shouted: "Do the right thing for heaven and support justice!" ”
Lao Lai waved his hand, and then said: "This person is the son of the dog official Zhou Zhiren, who bullies men and women on weekdays, and does all kinds of evil. ”
As he spoke, he handed the long knife on the offering table to Zhang Biao, Zhang Biao put Qin Shengcai's head on the offering table, took the long knife, and looked at the second son of the Zhou family who was scared of urine.
The crowd clapped their hands and applauded loudly!
Yu Xiaoyu took the opportunity to walk to the front, pressed his hand and said loudly: "Today's generals performed well, and it is not in vain that we will practice hard." But today, there are many shortcomings, today I set the Yellow Dragon military rules three, dare to violate the offender, there is no forgiveness! ”
"First, don't betray your comrades! Criminal, kill! ”
"The second article is not to oppress the people, and those who commit crimes must be killed!"
"Article 3, do not rape // adulterous women, offenders, kill!"
The three killings were deafening, and the village was silent for a while, silent for a while, and suddenly applauded one after another.
Most of the Yellow Dragon Army are hired peasants of landlords and landless refugees, who have gathered in Woniu Mountain for various reasons, and they have been oppressed themselves, and they are not extremely vicious, and most of them are still kind-hearted, and when they hear these three military regulations, they immediately cheer. Only a few people were secretly worried, and they also knew that the three leaders who had done today already knew about it, but fortunately they did not pursue it, and they had to pay strict attention to it in the future.
After that, everyone held a feast and rewarded them for their merits, but Lao Lai arranged for a few literate people to enter the house, secretly pretending not to know what to prepare. By the time everyone was over, it was midnight, and they all went back to their rooms to rest.
