Chapter 40: The Collapse of the Army

The homeless people at the side gate were also attacked by the rain of arrows, and when they saw the homeless people at the main gate running towards them like a gust of wind, the homeless people at the side gate who had been hesitating immediately followed suit.

After a while, outside the three gates of Mengjiazhuang, only a few homeless people were left, as well as their henchmen, and these people together were only one hundred and eighty people.

Before the big thing was accomplished, the team that had finally gathered together was also dispersed by the unknown team in the courtyard with a rain of arrows, and the faces of the few homeless people led by them couldn't help but become extremely ugly.

After retreating to a safe place, one of them asked the others, "Do you know where those people from Mengjiazhuang came from?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

The man grimaced, "Then we'll split up and inquire about whether they're passing through or planning to stay permanently." ”

Because they were unwilling, they began to inquire about the origin of Yu Zizhen and others, but on the side of Mengjiazhuang, Yu Zizhen, Mr. Jiang, the head of the guards and others were not idle.

The leader of the guards had the battlefield cleaned up and piled up all the dead homeless people outside the Zhuangzi, while Mr. Chiang wrote a handwritten letter to the king of Zhenbei to report their murder today.

As for Yu Zizhen, she was talking cordially with Meng Tingru's father and son.

Meng Tingru came to greet and thank him, he knew that if it were not for Yu Zizhen and others, their Meng family would definitely not be able to get through this hurdle today.

He is not afraid of those homeless people stealing things, he is afraid that those homeless people will kill their whole family.

What he didn't know was that in the plot of the original book, those homeless people did kill their family and their family's subordinates without missing a single one.

The homeless people who originally just wanted to rob food, meat, gold, silver, pearls and jade and other valuables broke into the door, and the cruelty and greed in their hearts instantly turned into wild beasts out of the cage.

They see that they want everything, and this "what" even includes the women and children who live in this manor.

And those who tried to stop them were all brutally murdered by them without exception.

Meng Tingru, who was lucky enough to escape, had palpitations, and after asking Yu Zizhen if he was frightened, and thanking Yu Zizhen solemnly, he held the tea cup and said to Yu Zizhen: "If it weren't for your help tonight, my Meng family would be wiped out." ”

Yu Zizhen took a sip of tea, "This is what your Meng family deserves, don't thank me." I once read a sentence in a book, 'Whoever holds a salary for all, let it not freeze to death in the wind and snow.'" Since Mr. Meng's family is a family of benevolence, we naturally can't sit idly by and watch those homeless people who have received the favor of your Meng family, and in turn burn, kill and loot your Meng family. ”

Meng Tingru looked serious, "I still have to thank you." "After all, in this world, there are too many justices that you deserve but don't get.

Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that those homeless people, they eat the Meng family's rice every day tomorrow, but they are still full of malice towards the Meng family in their hearts.

They are not satisfied that the Meng family is just giving porridge, they still want more things, they want to eat meat, they want to transfer all the food of the Meng family to their own hands, they want to tear down the Meng family who is high up in a posture of charity to them, step into the mud, want to kill all the people of the Meng family, and then divide the money and goods of the Meng family.

Desires are insatiable, and people's greed has no end.

He was secretly sighing to himself, so he heard Yu Zizhen say again: "It is a good thing to have good thoughts, but the premise of doing good is that you have the ability to protect yourself." ”

The wolf will not be grateful to the lamb for sacrificing itself to fill its belly, it will only feel that the wolf's eating of the sheep is a natural part of the biological chain of the jungle.

Meng Tingru, who was preached, did not despise Yu Zizhen at all because she was young, he bowed his hand, "What the prince said is very true, Meng has been taught." ”

There is a way that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, although he wants to do good deeds, but he will not sacrifice the personal safety of himself and those around him.

Yu Zizhen politely returned the salute, "You have money, food and connections, it is not difficult to ask a few reliable martial artists to help train a group of family members who can take care of the home." ”

Meng Tingru was stunned, Yu Zizhen's idea was something he had never imagined.

Just now, when Yu Zizhen said that "the premise of doing good deeds is that you have the ability to protect yourself", Meng Tingru subconsciously thought of the way to ensure the personal safety of himself and the people around him, which was to temporarily move to the county with his relatives and subordinates.

There are soldiers guarding the city in the county seat, and their Meng family also has a big mansion to live in the county seat, grain storage, gold and silver, as for the Zhuangzi and those things on the Zhuangzi, Meng Tingru doesn't mind giving it up temporarily.

The food and goods in the Zhuangzi should be given to those displaced people.

Even if the house inside is ruined by the homeless people, he can find someone to repair it or even tear it down and rebuild it in the future.

Compared with human life, he is willing to lose these things, and he also loses them.

And the vast field that was an important source of income for their Meng family and the most reluctant for him to give up was exactly what he didn't need to worry about the most, after all, it was impossible for those displaced people to occupy his family's land.

The central idea of all the planning and psychological construction he did was actually the word "hide", but the idea that Yu Zizhen gave him was to let him enhance his own force value step by step in the future.

Meng Tingru's heart was beating a little fast, and he took a deep look at Yu Zizhen, "The prince's suggestion will be seriously considered in the future." ”

Yu Zizhen nodded, "After dawn, do you want to leave with me?" We will pass through Kangping County, and we will also pass through Fucheng, if Mr. is willing, we can give you a ride. ”

Otherwise, when their team leaves, the Meng family will be in danger.

Meng Tingru couldn't ask for it, and nodded again and again when he heard the words, "The great grace of the prince, we can't ask for it." ”

Yu Zizhen smiled, "It's just a gesture, so I should thank Mr. for his dedication to entertaining me." ”

Although Meng Tingru entertained them so generously because the group of "Zhenbei Army" to which they belonged stopped the invasion of foreign races outside the Guanxi countless times, so that the people of Daqi, especially the people in the area north of the capital, had a natural favor for them, but neither Yu Zizhen nor Mr. Jiang wanted to let the Meng family suffer.

Mr. Jiang is to maintain the reputation of the Zhenbei Palace, and Yu Zizhen thinks that she is not worthy of this reverence and courtesy, after all, she has never made any contribution to the border area.

Those who risked their lives to protect the people behind them, their glory, she would not rely on the identity of the prince of Zhenbei Wangfu to touch it casually.

Yes, Mr. Jiang insisted on giving the Meng family money as compensation, and Yu Zizhen, although she couldn't mention Meng Tingru clearly, the world would soon become more chaotic, but she took this opportunity to point out a clear path to the Meng family.
