The merchant ships at the county wharf suffered again and were directly requisitioned from the magistrate.

It was the ship of the richest man in Xixiang, Lu Guanren, and no matter how strong the businessman's financial resources were, he had to be blind, and he could only admit it when the government sent troops.

In this march, in addition to the archers, there were also peasants on the outskirts of the county, and 50 people were forcibly conscripted to be people.

Fortunately, it is possible to sail all the way, otherwise there are more people in number.

Chen Ziyi sat on the deck, looking at the river in a daze, missing his horse a little.

He had long planned to join the army, but his mother cried and cried, and his father beat and scolded, and refused to let him leave his hometown.

This response to the expedition to be an archer is purely for the purpose of fulfilling a dream.

But I didn't expect to meet a magical boy and train well. Chen Ziyi was tickled, he wanted to see the real army, and when he broke through the Black Wind Village, he said that he would go to Qinfeng Road to join the army.

There is a newly acquired territory, and there is no shortage of wars, and it will surely be able to make meritorious achievements.

A good family like him took the initiative to join the army, brought his own war horse, and could ride and shoot, so he could be a small leader when he went to the army. And he doesn't have a tattoo, he only gets a tattoo on his wrist, which is different from those thieves who match the army.

"Chen Dutou, Dutou invites you to discuss the matter." An archer came over and said.

Chen Ziyi went to the cabin and met Zhang Guangdao halfway, and the two nodded to each other.

Entering the cabin, Zhu Ming greeted him with a smile: "Two brothers, come in and sit!" ”

Although Zhang Guangdao was born as a thief, he sat up straight.

Chen Ziyi, a good man, leaned his body instead, and he was in no shape.

Zhu Ming personally poured tea for them: "Loose tea, it tastes bad, I will drink it." ”

"It doesn't matter." Chen Ziyi drank it as soon as he picked it up.

Zhu Ming said: "Let's make a big move in the county, and the thieves in Heifeng Village must have known about it." The thieves either abandoned the village and fled as soon as possible, or prepared to defend the cottage. ”

Zhang Guangdao said: "Heifeng Village has been in business for decades, and they are reluctant to run away from many tea mountains and fields. ”

"Then you'll have to storm or lure the thieves out." Chen Ziyi said.

"Before attacking Heifeng Village, go to that Bai Village to sit down," Zhu Ming said, "Brother Chen may not know that there is a strong man in Xia Bai Village, called a little white outsider......"

Chen Ziyi squeaked: "I've heard of this person." ”

Zhu Ming continued: "The little white staff has always colluded with Heifeng Village, and even helped the thieves sell the stolen goods. He also colluded with Zhu Zongdao, and he had already become a bandit, and Xiang Zhixian meant that let's exterminate the little white members. ”

"This is easy to do, it's just that the countryside is strong." Chen Ziyi said.

Zhu Ming smiled: "If you can outwit, you don't have to kill by force, the two brothers look at me and act." ”

All the way down the river, and there is no dangerous beach, the speed is extremely fast.

In the afternoon of the same day, the fleet docked at Xiabai Village.

This is the closest village to the Black Wind Village, and it is normal for the archers to stay overnight, and then continue their march to the Thieves Village tomorrow morning.

Zhu Ming hung a sword at his waist, held a shuttle dart in his hand, and shouted before he got off the boat: "Pass the order, whoever dares to trample on the people's crops will be fined ten military sticks for the first time, and twenty military sticks for the second offense!" The regular soldiers, miscellaneous soldiers, and people went to the threshing floor in the village, and rested there at night after eating. ”

"There is an order ...... all heads"

In the past, Zhu Ming's military position was called a surname, but now he is called Dutou.

And Zhang Guangdao is still "Zhang Dutou", and Chen Ziyi is still "Chen Dutou". Although they are on the same level as Zhu Ming, they are only subordinates by default, and only Zhu Ming can be the leading big brother.

A group of archers lined up to get off the boat, and the people of the village were so frightened that they ran away.

The reputation of the archers is not very good.

When the people saw Zhu Ming entering the village with archers, they all hid at home and peeked, and the cowardly even drove cattle and chickens to flee to the mountains.

Soon they discovered that the archers did not seem to be the same.

Not to mention looting, not even the crops are stepped on.

In fact, if you want to achieve such military discipline, you only need to strictly restrain and give soldiers enough food and salary in peacetime.

It was such a simple thing that most armies in ancient times could not do.

Those who followed the archers disembarked were also the servants of Xiang Zhixian.

This guy's identity is similar to that of the prison army, and Xiang Zhixian clearly doesn't trust those officials, and he doesn't trust Zhu Ming very much.

A few officials also came, subordinate to the household case and the military case, in charge of the money and grain account books and so on, and the people were also assigned by them.

came to the threshing floor to set up camp, lit a fire to make food, and waited for the little white man to throw himself into the net.

……

At the beginning of the archers' landing, the little white staff already knew about it, and they also sent people to inquire about the specific situation.

At this moment, he was discussing with his "strategist" Huang Chunhe.

"Zhu Erzhen was killed?" The little white man asked.

Huang Chunhe nodded and said, "It's true." I asked the neighbors in the city, and they all said that Zhu Er took his subordinates and fought with the archers on the street. All of his men were armed with sharp blades. Instead, they were archers recruited by the government, and their weapons were in a mess. ”

The little white member said angrily: "It seems that Zhu Er's house is really a thief, and the rebellion was discovered by the magistrate, so I am afraid that it will involve us." ”

Huang Chunhe said: "Probably not, we are just partnering with him to do business, how many people in the county who grow tea do not partner with him?" In addition to the old white officer, relying on his prestige in the county government, he completely ignored Zhu Er's threats and directly sold illicit tea with Lu Guanren. ”

The little white officer said worriedly: "This time the officers and soldiers, should they really be able to break the Black Wind Village?" ”

"It's hard to say," Huang Chunhe shook his head and said, "Yang Jun is dead, Yang Ying is unpopular, and he can't suppress those bandits." But after all, Heifeng Village occupies a favorable geographical position, and there is only one way up the mountain, and no matter how many officers and soldiers there are, they can't use it. Who loses and who wins, only after the fight will be known. ”

As he spoke, a servant ran in to report the news.

"Who's the leader of the archers?" The little white man asked.

The servant said: "The little Zhu Xiucai of Shangbai Village is the young man from the countryside, and he has been giving orders. There is also a middle-aged man, I met Xianggong when I entered the city, and I was a servant by Xiang Zhixian's side. ”

Huang Chunhe guessed: "I heard the news that Zhu Xiucai voted for the county magistrate, and he also made a big fuss about the county government and opposed the county officials. This servant is afraid that he is a prison sent to the magistrate. ”

The little white member said with a smile: "Zhu Xiucai voted for Zhixian, but he fell out with Bai Zongwang (the old white member). The trouble in the county must be from the instructions of the county. These two people can cooperate in the future. After waiting for the rest of the army, I took the goods and went to the door of the county. ”

"That's right." Huang Chunhe said.

The little white officer asked: "Can the ship be well guarded?" ”

The servant replied, "All the archers have gone to camp on the threshing floor, and I am afraid there are not a few left on the ship." ”

The little white man sneered: "But he can't fight, if the thief attacks at night, he will definitely burn his grain and grass." I'll go to the labor army, bring some wine, and give him a ride. ”

As a large local household, the officers and soldiers are here, and the little white officers must go to treat them.

Bringing pigs and sheep wine to the threshing floor, the little white man looked like a good citizen, and said enthusiastically: "The military masters are here well, I am in this village, next to the black wind village, and I am worried day and night." If the thief is killed, I will be able to sleep in peace in the future. It's just a small courtesy, not a tribute, just to be able to comfort the soldiers. ”

"Well, I'm very thirsty, and I lack good wine to moisten my throat." Zhu Ming said with a smile.

The little white officer hurriedly said: "If the military master likes good wine, I will send some over when the thieves are suppressed." ”

Zhu Ming stretched out three fingers: "Three hundred catties of good wine." ”

The little white man scolded his mother in his heart, but he smiled on his face: "There is not enough wine in the village, so I will let people go to the county town to buy it." ”

"Haha, you're eye-catching," Zhu Ming laughed happily, and then beckoned, "Come closer, let's drink together tonight." ”

The little white man did not suspect him, and bowed forward.

Boom!

A dragon groaned, and the sword was unsheathed.

The little white man looked incredulous, looked at the sword pierced into his chest, pointed at Zhu Ming and said, "You...... You ......"

A moment ago, he was still thinking about getting Zhu Ming drunk.

Zhang Guangdao and Chen Ziyi attacked at the same time, and the swords and guns came out together, beheading the two relatives outside the little white staff.

The rest of the domestic servants were so frightened that their legs and feet were weak, and they didn't even dare to run, so they knelt down on the spot holding the wine jar, and screamed: "The military master spares his life!" ”

Xiang Zhixian's domestic servants and supervisors also trembled at this moment, and hid among a group of people.

The little white officer was not dead yet, Zhu Ming made up another sword, and then shouted: "The county has an order, Bai Zongmin colluded with the thief, follow me to the Bai family's house to arrest the remnants!" ”

The miscellaneous soldiers and the people stayed, and the regular soldiers also left three teams, and all the rest were dispatched.

Seeing this, the villagers cried and screamed, thinking that the archers were coming to plunder, so they were frightened and fled to the mountains with the old and the young.

The Bai family was also on the run, and Bai Sheng led his troops to chase after him.

Although he witnessed the killing of his enemy, he always felt like a dream, he had endured it for so many years, and he took revenge so easily?

In the past, if you wanted to kill the little white member, it seemed that it was more difficult than ascending to the sky, so it turned out that you only needed to lightly stab a sword.

What a refreshment!

Bai Sheng suddenly realized something, personal martial arts is a fart, and he still has to work together with his brothers. It's not enough to have brothers, you must have an official identity in order to kill people and sell goods in a bright way.

After tossing for more than half an hour, the Bai family was completely controlled, and those who escaped were basically caught.

The private armed forces raised outside the little white officer, when they heard that their master was dead, did not dare to resist at all, and honestly laid down their arms.

A group of old and weak women and children cried the most fiercely, kowtowing frantically and begging for mercy.

Zhu Ming dragged the chair and sat down, and said to Bai Sheng: "There is revenge, you can do it yourself." ”

Bai Sheng trembled with excitement, he pointed to Huang Chunhe, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "This guy's name is Huang Chunhe, he is a scholar, he is very vicious, and he often gives Bai Zongmin bad ideas. My father took him as a friend, but he lured my father to gamble and defrauded my family of property! ”

Zhu Ming said: "Cut it off, cut off the head, and bring it to the magistrate to be useful." ”

"The military master spares his life," Huang Chunhe shouted, "I have an important military report!" ”

Zhu Ming sneered: "Say, what is the military situation." ”

Huang Chunhe said: "Please agree to let me live." ”

Zhu Ming played with a tea cup: "Let me guess, is it possible that the bandits may come to attack at night?" ”

"Military ...... How does the military master know? Huang Chunhe looked surprised.

"I'm not stupid, I brought all the soldiers ashore, and the grain and grass were put on the boat and waited for people to burn," Zhu Ming said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the thieves will be cowardly and dare not come over at night." If that's all you need, there's no use in keeping you. ”

Only then did Huang Chunhe understand that the officers and soldiers had already made up a plan to lure the enemy, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to be a lobbyist and persuade the thieves to surrender, and the soldiers can take the thief village without blood." ”

"Don't listen to him, this guy is used to deceiving people!" Bai Sheng was afraid that Zhu Ming would agree.

Zhu Ming put down the teacup: "Kill it." ”

Without waiting for Huang Chunhe to speak again, Bai Sheng pulled out his knife and stabbed him.

Blood splattered, and the servants and guards hurriedly closed their eyes, not daring to look at the bloody scene again.

Zhu Ming asked the rest of the people: "In addition to the house and cellar, did Bai Zongmin hide money elsewhere?" Whoever can say it, I will spare him from death. ”

"I know!"

"I know it too!"

"In the county seat!"

In an instant, three people shouted.

Zhu Ming said to the servants and guards: "Since these goods are in the county seat, I will not handle them, and when the details are asked, the county can go and get them by himself." ”

The domestic servant and the overseer said happily: "Dutou is really doing great things. ”

There is really a lot of family wealth outside the little white staff, and Xiang Zhixian can take the opportunity to make a lot of money.

As for Xiang Zhixian eating alone, will it cause the anger of the officials, this is about him Zhu Ming?

The officials from the military case and the household case, who are still on the ship, have been drunk in advance by this prison guard.

Zhu Ming asked Bai Sheng again: "Among them, are there any people you want to kill?" ”

"Yes!" Bai Sheng nodded.

"Leave me some." Zhu Ming said.

Bai Shengxi said: "I only kill one, and I can leave two." ”

Bai Sheng walked up to a young man and stabbed him with a knife. This person is the son of Bai Zongmin, and he robbed the girl Bai Sheng liked as a concubine.

After taking revenge, Bai Sheng said: "Dutou, I don't want to reward money, I want to ask for other rewards." ”

Zhu Ming nodded and said: "I have heard about you, the land property can't help you get it back, follow me to Heifeng Village in the future, and I will give you some land over there." As for the girl who was snatched away, since she is your sweetheart, you can dispose of it yourself whether you let it go or marry it. ”

Bai Sheng knelt down abruptly and kowtowed a few times: "My life will be Brother Zhu's in the future!" ”
