When the young man named Zhang Gouzi told the whole story, everyone understood what had happened to this Tsuchiya Village.

Bandits.

Zhang Gouzi's "eldest sister" is not his sister, but a respected woman in Tsuchiya Village. Four years ago, Tsuchiya Village was hit by a plague, and every family was infected, and it was almost desperate, and the surrounding government was even preparing to burn the village to extinguish the epidemic.

However, at this moment, a woman in red passed by. After witnessing the tragic situation in the village, she insisted on entering Tsuchiya Village to treat the plague for the people in the village, despite the obstruction of the officials sent by the government. What everyone didn't expect was that the plague, which even the hall master of Baicaotang was helpless, was overcame by this woman, and there were no villagers who died from the plague in the entire Tsuchiya Village.

In order to repay this woman named Su Xiu, the villagers of Tuwu Village built her the best small two-story tulou, and gave her a home, leaving a large field. After the villagers tried their best to stay, Su Xiu chose to stay in Tuwu Village, opened a small medical hall with Tulou, and became a famous barefoot doctor in the neighborhood.

According to Zhang Gou, Su Xiu has a beautiful appearance, good conversation, and is well-informed and extremely skilled in medicine. Everyone said that she was a fairy, a god sent by God to save Tsuchiya Village, and when they saw her, they were all respectful, and they didn't dare to snub this goddess fairy.

But Su Xiu has never been arrogant, on the contrary, she is simple-minded, kind-hearted, and deeply loved by everyone.

However, just a few days ago, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly broke into the village, they were wearing chain mail and gold and jade orders on their waists, they came in and walked around, leaving a messenger and leaving.

The envoy announced directly in the village that the King of Han was going to choose a concubine in the thirteen cities of the North Ring Road, and was greatly moved after learning the story of the goddess doctor Su Xiu, and specially ordered her to go to Taiying to participate in the selection of concubines.

After learning of this, the people of Tsuchiya Village were immediately indignant and strongly opposed to the handover of Su embroidery. The head of the township reprimanded and drove away the military officials sent by the officers and soldiers to deliver the news, and directly locked the gate of Tsuchiya Village.

However, how can the people fight the soldiers, let alone the soldiers of the Han king. Naturally, the head of the village knew this, and the other villagers of Tsuchiya Village also understood that they had offended people who should not be offended. In order to prevent the village from being destroyed, these people directly chose to leave their hometown and leave the village, leaving Zhang Gouzi alone to guard the village, hoping to return here after the Han king's officers and soldiers had been captured and plundered.

"Are you a fool for me?"

After listening to Zhang Gou's narration, Zhou Li pointed at himself in disbelief, and then pointed at Tang Guan, who had a heavy expression on the side, and said in shock: "She didn't believe it after saying this." ”

"Huh?"

Tang Guan, who was named by name, was stunned for a moment, "Why?" ”

"Get out."

Zhou Li angrily threw Tang Guan to Zhu Qianyun's side, and then he squatted down, looked at the silent Zhang Gou in front of him, and said:

"What you just said can't be said to be full of loopholes, just a piece of shit. No matter how bad the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty is, it will not be said that people who run away from a village can't react. What's more, the thirteen cities of the North Ring Road take care of each other, don't say that a large group of people in a village get together and run away, but it's not easy to hide two or three rogues, you drank too much? ”

Zhang Gou didn't speak, but the hatred in his eyes was obvious.

"That's right."

After sighing, Zhu Qianyun slowly took the long knife off Zhang Gou's neck and said calmly: "Chain mail, gold and jade pendants, can only be three thousand battalions." And among the thirteen cities of the Northern Ring, only my father can mobilize 3,000 battalions. ”

"Father?"

Zhang Gou was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You are the daughter of the dog thief?!" You're a beast too! ”

Without waiting for Zhang Gou to finish speaking, Tang Guan directly grabbed his throat. She didn't exert any strength, just looked at the whimpering Zhang Gou, and said indifferently: "Speak cleanly, they are good to you, it doesn't mean that I have quality." ”

The dog was very indignant, but under the difference in strength, he could only stare at the three of them with disgust. Zhu Qianyun didn't speak, just bit the tip of his thumb, and his beautiful eyes were full of contemplation. After a moment, she spoke:

"Zhang Gou, I will bear the mistakes made by my father for him. Now you'd better cooperate with us, let us go and meet the Su embroidery in your mouth, or let me go to meet the group of officers and soldiers. Otherwise, things will get worse. ”

Seeing this, Tang Wan let go of Zhang Gou's throat and walked to Zhu Qianyun's side, the cold light in his hand flickered, and a bright needle prick appeared in her hand. A pair of black jade-like eyes stared at the young man named Zhang Gou, his fingertips trembled slightly, and the threat was self-evident.

Zhuge Qing on the side looked at a few people and did not speak. She just looked at Tsuchiya Village in the lotus leaf in a daze, as if she was thinking about something. Zhou Li noticed this, but he didn't disturb Zhuge Qing, but inadvertently moved his body to block Zhuge Qing's existence.

"Why should I believe you?"

Zhang Gou looked at everyone, and when he calmed down, he knew that he couldn't compete with these three people, so he chose to communicate, "The three thousand battalions in your mouth have come to the village at least two or three times, just to find the traces of the eldest sister." You have the waist card of the King of Han on you, and if I tell you, all your efforts will be in vain. ”

"Or else?"

Zhou Li sneered and said, "Wait, just wait, and then wait for the Jinyi guards invited by the 3,000 battalions to break the obstacle, cut off the head of your township chief, and then arrest your eldest sister?" ”

"You!"

Zhang Gou was shocked, and then he realized that he was cheating himself. No sooner had he than seen a look of remorse on his face when he heard an old voice sound from behind.

"Dog, let the guests in."

Zhang Gou was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head incredulously. In the inconspicuous small building on the side, an old man on crutches walked out slowly, and there was only calm on his face full of ravines. He looked at a few people, turned sideways, and made a gesture of please.

"If you don't dislike it, please come in and talk about it."

"Grandpa, this!"

Zhang Gou's face was full of shock, and he wanted to say something. But the old man only waved his hand, interrupting him.

"Your guests are right."

Looking at the golden jade pendant on Zhu Qianyun's waist with deep meaning, the old man said slowly: "The people don't fight with the officials, if we can only bury our heads and wait, sooner or later we will be found out." If these nobles are kind, maybe we still have a little life. ”

Obviously, this old man belonged to the respected elders in the village, and Zhang Gou did not dare to refute the other party's words at all. He could only keep his head down, not looking at the three of them, hiding his emotions, and trembling to guide the three of them.

Zhou Li and Zhu Qianyun glanced at each other and nodded. Zhu Qianyun took a step back and protected Tang Wan behind him, while Zhou Li took the lead, and Zhou Ji, who only he could see, was hovering around. In this way, several people walked into this small building under the guidance of the dog.
