8. Save people and release people
Everyone chatted for a while, they all fell asleep in a daze, Zhao Jiayi intended to come in, the first step is to successfully enter the coal yard, tomorrow to feel what the situation, see the opportunity to act, can contact a few more people, when the time comes, he will subdue the main leader, not afraid of not being able to save everyone.
The next day, before dawn, while everyone was still asleep, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a small man came in and shouted, "Get up, eat and work." A new day has begun, hurry up and work towards the place of your dreams, Sao Nian. After saying that, he laughed. Although everyone listened to what he said funny, they all knew that it was a lie, and they all got up silently.
Seeing that the man went to another room to call someone, Zhao Jiayi also got up and prepared to eat, and first got acquainted with everyone. When everyone in the house was dressed, everyone went to the dining hall to eat.
Out of the workers' dormitory, everyone followed Zhang Zhong to the backyard, and sent out a house like Zhao Jiayi where they lived, and there seemed to be more than ten rooms in this courtyard. I saw everyone coming out one after another. It's all listless. They all looked dejected.
The backyard kitchen is a simple shed, with a large pot below, and everyone gathers around the pot to serve the rice by a special person, and find a place to squat down to eat after eating. The people who are eating in this area are lifeless, and there are people walking back and forth looking at everyone, who should be overseers.
From time to time, I urged everyone: "Hurry up and eat, go to the warehouse to get tools when you are full, and go into the cave to work." ”
Zhao Jia looked at the food in his hand, don't say it, it's not as bad as you imagined, in fact, everyone works hard, if you don't eat well, where will you get the strength to work.
After eating, they went to get the tools in a group, the warehouse was outside the yard, and when they came out of the courtyard, Zhao Jiayi saw that there was no fence on both sides of the road, and the warehouse was next to the yard, not far from where the workers lived, and there were more than ten two-story buildings, and behind the buildings were three rows of one-story accommodations. There are stables outside. Several carriages were parked outside the stables, and a dozen horses were tied to the stables.
After receiving the tools, more than a dozen overseers led the group towards the mountain. Follow the mountain road all the way into the mountains, and there are steep slopes on both sides of the road. It was rugged and difficult to walk, and the ox cart pulling coal came out every once in a while. Each ox cart has four people in charge of transporting it.
After a while, I came to a cave, four or five guards on both sides of the door supervised, everyone entered the cave, there was a kerosene lamp on both sides of the cave, under the dim light, it seemed that the coal cave was gloomy, but it was quite warm inside.
After walking more than 200 meters in the cave, I heard the sound of clanging coal mining inside, as well as the shouting of the guards. When a group of more than 20 people walked in, the wave of people inside pushed the cart to pull the coal out. Taking advantage of the gap in the assignment, Zhao Jiayi walked up to Zhang Zhong and asked, "How many guards are there here, and how long do we work in a day?"
Zhang Zhong saw that the guards walked out with the upper group of people, so he put down the tools at hand and chatted with Zhao Jiayi: "There are generally four people guarding the cave, watch for a while, they will go out to breathe, we generally work for 2 hours, go out for a meal, and come back for 2 hours." Then I shipped out the coal that I had dug today, and it was dark. Li Zhong saw that he was still so energetic in this coal yard, more than a mortal, and asked curiously: "Why are you inquiring so clearly, do you want to escape?" If you can escape, take me with you. ”
As soon as Zhao Jia saw that no one was paying attention to them around, he whispered: "Don't hide it, I came in on purpose, I want to familiarize myself with the environment here first, and then rescue everyone out." You've been here longer than I am, is anyone here to be trusted? ”
When Li Zhong heard this, he was overjoyed. said: "I came here, I observed, most of them were robbed. They all wanted to escape. But the guards here are tight, and there is a Sun Changhai who is good at martial arts and ruthless. I heard that Du Yuanwai got it from death row. He is loyal to Du Yuanwai. Several of them escaped and were caught, all of them killed in front of everyone. Everyone was scared. I didn't dare to resist. ”
As soon as Zhao Jia heard about it, it didn't hurt to have a good hand, but he was worried that they had too many masters, so he said that he could just run away if he couldn't fight, but don't make them suffer. Then he asked, "In addition to Sun Lianhai, are there any other good players here?"
Zhang Zhong thought for a while and said, "In addition to him, it is estimated that there are only four apprentices left for him." The others are all foxes and fake tigers, bullying us to do our work, relying on the strength of the crowd. Hey, if you can beat Sun Lianhai, let's discuss the rest with everyone and help you solve it. Get out of this place early. ”
Zhao Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "Then you can find a few that can be trusted, and let's discuss." Turning his head to look, he found that Li Cheng and Liuzi were coming, Liuzi slept well last night, and was suddenly woken up by water, and was slapped in the face, and there was nowhere to vent his heart. Knowing that he couldn't fight them, he saw that Zhao Jia was talking to Zhang Zhong like no one, so he pulled Li Cheng over.
Liuzi said: "Big brother, I don't think you're in a hurry at all, do you still want to do it here?" ”
Li Cheng looked at the entrance of the cave, and the guard hadn't come back yet, so he said: "Brother, I heard you say yesterday, you know martial arts, can you take everyone out, my old bones, I don't want to bury them here." After speaking, he looked at Zhao Jiayi with a sad face. Zhao Jiayi is the most familiar with the six of them. Relatively speaking.
Then he tested them and said, "I am able to escape, and I am confident that I will keep you safe, so I don't know if you dare to go out with me." ”
When everyone heard this, they would die sooner or later if they stayed here, and they were desperate to break out, so they said, "Whoever doesn't dare is a grandson." ”
Li Cheng has seen a lot, seeing that everyone is in a hurry to go out, but there are still doubts about Zhao Jiayi's kung fu, this is a critical moment, and he can't care about anything, so he said: "Big brother, if you are sure that you can subdue those wicked people, you will be a cow and a horse after you go out." ”
Zhao Jiayi knew that they were eager to go out, and they were still a little sharp when they just came in, and they were afraid that they would lose their spirit and energy for a long time, and they would lose their guts, so they struck while the iron was hot. Let Li Zhong call everyone he knows over. After a while, there were about 20 people gathered. Zhao Jiayi looked at the dark faces and the desire for freedom in his eyes. said: "I came here this time to explore this tiger's den, as long as you follow my arrangement, I will teach you to take it out safely, and ask if you dare to get back the grievances you have suffered these days." ”
Everyone had long had enough of this cow and horse-like life, and when they saw that someone was taking the lead, except for a few old men, several young people almost shouted excitedly, and they all replied: "I would like to listen to the send." In the water and fire, follow the adults out. ”
Zhao Jiayi saw their sincere expressions and said, "Let's work first, eat at noon, and see me go to test Sun Lianhai first." "If you can't beat it, bear with it, I'll escape first, and then I'll save you. If you can fight, everyone will go out with me.
When they heard the news, they were filled with joy and thought that they could go out at last. We've beaten it, but we don't suffer. I work very hard. The guards also wondered, what happened to these people today, they usually work slowly, they look like they are going to die, and they are all working hard today. After watching it for a while, I went out again.
Sun Lianhai was drinking with a few apprentices in the room, he was a ruffian in Yangxian County, he was brave and ruthless since he was a child, he learned a martial arts, because he was jealous of drinking in the Qinglou, he killed a local merchant, and was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. Du Yuanwai cherished his martial arts, so he bought off the county magistrate and found a death row prisoner to come out of him. At this time, he was dead set on Du Yuanwai. arranged for him to be in charge of the coal yard, and worked extra hard. Now that there are so many displaced people, it is his idea to arrest people to come in and mine coal. In addition, Du Yuanwai's relationship in the county is very good, and he is simply the emperor here.
Sun Lianhai was full of food and drink, so he wanted to go out to move his hands and feet and show his majesty. He took his apprentice to the shack where the workers lived, and he liked to come here when he had nothing to do, to see who was not pleasing to the eye, and he was beaten or scolded. I really enjoy the pleasure of dominating others.
Zhao Jiayi and they worked until noon, and when they came back to eat, Zhang Zhong walked behind him, pulled his clothes and said, The one with the whip in front is Sun Lianhai, be careful of his fists and feet.
Zhao Jia saw that he was about the same height as himself, a strong man, and he walked very steadily. It seems that there is some work to be done. There are a few followers around him, and he looks arrogant. Looking left and right, there are no less than twenty guards, and it seems that they can't do it yet.
turned around and asked Zhang Zhongdao: "Let's eat first, and when we find the right opportunity, I will put him down, and you can find a rope to tie him up for me." I don't believe that their master and apprentice dare to die. "Deliberation must be made, and a group of people go to the backyard to eat as usual.
After receiving the meal, Sun Lianhai took 4 entourages and walked to the place where everyone was eating. Everywhere they went, everyone avoided it, for fear that this thing would have a brain draw and make trouble for themselves. Seeing that everyone saw him like a plague god, Sun Lianhai was secretly proud in his heart. Walking to the middle of the courtyard, Sun Lianhai stood and watched everyone eat. No one dared to look at him. They all eat silently with their heads down.
As soon as Zhao Jia saw it, he said in his heart that if he didn't do it at this time, he would wait for a while, so he stood up, motioned to Liuzi, Li Cheng and Zhang Zhong with his eyes, and walked straight towards Sun Lianhai.
Sun Lianhai saw someone walking like himself, and he was dissatisfied, Zhao Jia kept looking at Sun Lianhai's eyes, which made Sun Lianhai feel that he had been violated, so he glared at Zhao Jiayi angrily, and the entourage accomplices around him walked to Zhao Jiayi early, wanting to teach him a lesson first, so that he knew whose territory was here.
The entourage walked up to Zhao Jiayi and stretched out his hand to slap him, how could Zhao Jiayi let him succeed, and directly kicked him straight, and the body of the entourage of more than 100 catties flew directly towards Sun Lianhai behind him like being hit by a cow. Sun Lianhai saw Zhao Jiayi make a move, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful, looking at the entourage's body flying, one sideways to dodge, and the footsteps kept rushing towards Zhao Jiayi, Zhao Jiayi judged his attack point from his body and speed, and it was also a brisk step to catch up. With a move, the black tiger dug out his heart, and attacked Sun Lianhai's chest with a fist. Sun Lianhai raised his leg and kicked at Zhao Jiayi, wanting to kick his arm off, Zhao Jia saw his fierceness, and did not dodge, directly returned to hold his feet and neck, pulled into his arms, stretched out his legs and swept them, and put Sun Lianhai on the ground. Then the fist rained down on his face. Sun Lianhai is like grass in a rainstorm. Lost consciousness in an instant.
The other three entourages saw Sun Lianhai knocked to the ground, unconscious. turned around and wanted to run back to call someone, but was stopped by everyone to clean up, and he was really used to being powerful. Now there is resentment and revenge. The five lost consciousness in the blink of an eye. The group found ropes to tie up. So I went to the other room and gathered everyone out together.
The one hundred and ten crowds guarding were leaderless, and under the leadership of Zhao Jiayi, all the kung fu of a stick of incense were subdued. After suffering so many workers, they wanted to kill them to vent their anger, and Zhao Jiayi knew that if he caused a lot of death, he would say that it was estimated that their group of people would be arrested by the government and dealt with as rebellion.
Zhao Jiayi appeased everyone, collected the gold and silver treasures of the coal yard, and distributed them to everyone, so that they could hurry home and not go back to Yangxian again. Du Yuanwai will definitely not give up. Everyone listened to Zhao Jiayi's arrangement. Hurry up and leave this place of right and wrong.
