Chapter 28: It doesn't take a single soldier
"If it weren't for the bad harvest now, the taxes can't even be paid, and the government doesn't behave, who wants to not even be able to go home?"
Bai Laosi roared, his heart became more and more sour, he looked around, and found that many people around him also had red eyes, as if they were heartbroken by the world.
Wang Wu glared: "His grandmother's, the fourth, what do you mean by this!" When you first went up the mountain, how did the brothers agree, just a few words, and you messed up yourself? ”
Bai Laosi wiped his face: "You don't want to go back?" ”
"I don't want to!" Wang Wu raised his head, "My whole family was killed by the government, and I don't believe them for a long time, why can't we make money in a down-to-earth way, these people are not clear?" Changing the law to collect taxes, conscripting soldiers, and killing people, who can live well? ”
Only then did Bai Laosi react and patted Boss Xu's head: "You kid, when you go home, you forgot how you were forced to go up the mountain in the first place, right?" ”
Boss Xu covered the back of his head, but he also knew a lot.
He hurriedly put away his tears, picked up the big knife, glared at Zhu Tianci and said, "What if I intercepted your batch of goods?" You have received so many benefits from the court and the government, and you should spit it out. ”
Zhu Tianci was simply laughed at: "According to your logic, if you have money, you will receive benefits, and everyone in the world should be as poor as you and live by looting, right?" ”
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, He Lianjun blocked in front of Zhu Tianci with his long arms and shouted at several people: "Since you admit what you have done, you should understand that the cart of goods is worth a lot of money, the people you killed, and the things you swallowed...... You should pay for it. ”
As soon as He Lianjun's voice fell, the spears in the hands of the soldiers behind him shook the ground, and the momentum was huge.
Zhu Tianci's goods are worth a lot of money, in order to stop the bandits and robbers, he spent a lot of money to train the government soldiers, these government soldiers each received formal training, shawls and armor, and now put on a posture, since these bandits can not resist.
Seeing that many of Wang Wu's party were cowardly, He Lianjun raised his voice again: "The new magistrate is already on the way, if our government soldiers are defeated today, and there will be officers and soldiers who will continue to crusade five days later, if you really want to nest in this mountain and be with wild beasts, we will not force it." ”
But if you don't want to live this disgraceful life again, you put down your big sword and stand up. We can give you a promise for the new magistrate, Luming County will no longer disregard human life and disregard the royal law as before, and the tax levy will be handled in strict accordance with the imperial court. ”
Bai Laosi and Xu Laoda were both a little moved.
Behind them, there were also many strong men looking at each other, and they were all a little moved, but they had already suffered the loss of the government's unloading and killing of donkeys, and they did not dare to act rashly.
He Lianjun knew that he had touched the hearts of most people, and added another fire: "If everyone doesn't want to believe it, He is willing to set up a military order here, and if the new magistrate is the same as always, he will directly take my head from He." ”
After that, he turned over and dismounted, took a charcoal pen, tore off a piece of cloth from his waist, and wrote a few lines of words in a dragon and phoenix dance, and at the end, he also bit his finger and printed the bloody hand on it.
Before handing it over, Zhu Tianci also got off the horse, took the general's order, and wrote his name according to his appearance.
These were handed to Wang Wu, he squinted at them for a while, and then stuffed them to Bai Laosi and said, "Fourth, you are literate, see what is going on." ”
Boss Xu also asked on the side: "Fourth, what is a military order?" ”
"Military order, that's a head-killing thing." Bai Laosi smiled sarcastically, looked at the cloth carefully for a long time, the curvature of the corners of his mouth suddenly froze, and Xu Laosi saw clearly, Bai Laosi's hands trembled violently.
"Fourth, you speak, what did they do on the military order?" Wang Wu grabbed Boss Xu's shoulder, and the big knife in his hand was clenched, looking like he Lianjun and Zhu Tianci were desperate.
However, Bai Laosi pressed down his hand: "Old Five, it's true, this military order, they really set it up!" ”
"To be informed of the county's appointment, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can come to me and me with this military order, and I will recognize it!"
He Lianjun's words were loud, and in the back row of Wang Wu, a crisp voice had already sounded.
He looked behind him, and sure enough, someone had already thrown his weapon and was about to walk out.
Wang Wu hurriedly shouted to him: "Song Liu, aren't you afraid of fraud?" ”
Another person suddenly lost his weapon, and Boss Xu said with a look of death: "Even if it is a fraud, I admit it, and I don't want to do this fearful day anymore." ”
He walked a few steps forward, and as soon as he got out of the stockade, no one hurt him.
Bai Laosi and the others watched, until Boss Xu came to He Lianjun's side, and his heart flew even more.
Song Liu also walked out: "I don't care anymore, I don't have a life left and right, I have enough to live anyway." ”
With Song Liu and Boss Xu in front, there were sporadic people going out of the village.
Gradually, there were only a few Wang Wu people left in the stockade.
Even Bai Laosi stood opposite Wang Wu.
Wang Wu had a complicated expression on his face, all the people in his family died under the knife of the government, and naturally he didn't have much good feelings for the government, but ......
He glanced at the soldiers, and then at the people behind him, and met their trusting eyes, only to feel like a boulder, weighing heavily on his heart, but with their meager strength, they would definitely not be able to fight against it.
He slowly put down the big knife in his hand and looked at the few people behind him: "Let's try, if they still repeat the same thing, we will be fine if we come back." ”
Wang Wu is their backbone, and even Wang Wu put down his weapons, and the tight thread in their hearts was completely broken.
As Wang Wu took the first step in the village, the entire Qingshan Pass was taken by He Lianjun and Zhu Tianci without spending a single soldier.
Most of Zhu Tianci's stolen goods were also recovered.
The two of them took the bandits to register their names and surnames first, and then assigned them to various villages, and some village chiefs saw that the former bandits had reappeared, and their hearts were full of anger, and several women rushed forward to fight, but were stopped by He Lianjun.
"Eldest sister, these bandits have been submitted."
"Submission? Phew! Sister Jia took a sip, "Stealing chickens and dogs, and expecting them to change their own nature?" Who believes it, a mouse is a mouse after all, and taking it out and putting it under the bald head can't change the essence of being a mouse! ”
He Lianjun opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start.
Most of these women have husbands who have joined the army, and everyone pays the same taxes, but they are still working diligently at home, but these strong men have gone up to the mountain.
There was a stalemate, and Bai Laosi suddenly knelt down.
They raised their hands and fanned them in the face.
"I am the fourth in the white family, the fourth in the family, the three brothers in front of me and my father, starved to death, died of illness, and even worse, was beaten to death in front of the government in front of me, the population is small, taxes still have to be paid, life is really unbearable, and the brothers have moved their minds crookedly."
"Eldest sister, I know that my Bai Lao Si is not a thing, we went down the mountain with Lord Zhu today, just to reform our ways, we have a lot of strength, we can work, if there is something in the future, although the call is, there is no complaint."
Although the village chief hated a few people, he also knew the face of the government, and after a silence, the village chief looked at Sister Jia: "Sister, why don't you let them get up and see how they behave?" ”
Sister Jia looked at their age, and then looked at their thin and bony bodies, and felt a little unbearable, she waved her hand and looked to the side: "Since Lord Zhu is relieved, you should also get up, but I have written it down today, don't complain when I find you to work another day." ”
"Don't complain, don't complain." Bai Laosi smiled and straightened up.
After tossing around like this, until the evening, the group was finally settled.
He Lianjun and Zhu Tianci parted at the entrance of the village and went straight home.
From afar, I saw Yu Qingzhi and the others waiting at the door, and when they saw that He Lianjun had no big problems, he patted his chest and greeted him.
"It's windy outside, so you don't have to wait." He Lianjun hurriedly took off his coat and put it on Yu Qingzhi.
Helan Cheng frowned: "Big brother, my sister and I have been waiting for you in front of the door for a long time, and we haven't seen your greeting." ”
He Wanyue tightened the cloak draped on him: "Isn't this a cloak for you?" ”
Helan Cheng frowned: "But I just want the eldest brother!" ”
"Want? You also go and marry a daughter-in-law. He Lianjun teased him.
He Wanyue smiled and took Helan Cheng down, and advised, "The rice is on the table for you, you remember to eat." ”
"Okay." He Lianjun pulled Yu Qingzhi to the kitchen and pinched her delicate nose, "It's still the method you gave that works, today we went up the mountain to negotiate, and we took them all without a single soldier." ”
"It's so powerful?" Yu Qingzhi was a little surprised, she thought that most of them were homeless when they went up the mountain to suppress the bandits this time, and with the words she came up with, He Lianjun was going to lose some people.
The skin on He Lianjun's fingertips was a little rough, and Yu Qingzhi held his hand under the candle flame and looked at it lively, and when he saw that the skin on his thumb was broken, he felt a little distressed.
"It doesn't matter, it's just some flesh wounds, and I used to kill pigs when I didn't miss the lottery." He Lianjun waved his hand, wanting to take it back, but he didn't want Yu Qingzhi's strength to be so strong that even he couldn't break free.
"Do you know what it means to have ten fingers connected to the heart, and how can the wound on your hand be compared to other places?" Yu Qingzhi picked some herbs during the day, and she crushed them and applied them to He Lianjun's wounds.
Under the dim candlelight, Yu Qingzhi's serious side face is very good-looking.
Although He Lianjun didn't feel pain, looking at Yu Qingzhi's delicate appearance, he also felt warm in his heart, he stared at Yu Qingzhi's flawless cheeks like white jade, unconsciously leaned over, and his lips were pasted.
Yu Qingzhi thought at first that He Lianjun was deliberately blocking the light, so she didn't raise her head, and leaned sideways slightly, until the warm breath approached, and then she realized that something was wrong.
She looked up in disbelief, and her lips were covered with a layer of softness.
He Lianjun hugged Yu Qingzhi's thin waist, and his breathing became more and more rapid, which was already a proof of emotion.
"Qingzhi ......" He Lianjun muttered, and his breath was ambiguous.
Yu Qingzhi was kissed by him, and the feeling of weightlessness hit her, He Lianjun picked her up by the waist and carefully put her on the couch to bully herself, and then she realized the importance of the matter.
She put her hands on He Lianjun's chest and shook her head shyly: "I haven't ...... yet Get ready ......"
He Lianjun looked at her fixedly for a long time, sensing her resistance, and despite the heat in his lower abdomen, he let go of Yu Qingzhi, pulled the quilt, and wrapped her tightly.
"If you don't like it, I won't force it." He Lianjun chuckled lightly and looked at Shangyu Qingzhi seriously, "I'll wait." ”
With that, He Lianjun got up and turned back to the kitchen.
Yu Qingzhi's brain was numb, her hands were in front of her face, her heart was beating like a drum, and there was a clanging sound in the kitchen, although it was chaotic, it was not noisy.
It could be heard that He Lianjun deliberately lightened his movements.
Yu Qingzhi's heart warmed, as if something was slowly relaxing.
Perhaps he was too worried during the day, and Yu Qingzhi fell asleep directly.
