Chapter 53 Revenge

"The two of you are the suffering master Qiao Erer and Zheng Chengdong?"

Listening to the question in the hall, the two hurriedly bowed and said, "It's Cao Min."

There are more than a dozen blue stone pillars in the hall of the county government office, which are very magnificent. On the outermost pair of stone pillars, there is a pair of couplets. , There is another plaque hanging on the top of the stone pillar. On the plaque are the words "Mirror Hanging High", which is no different from other county government offices.

The only thing that makes Qiao's second child and Zheng Chengdong feel different is the official master Liu Yingyu sitting in the hall. Although he looks like a civil official, he has the sharp eyes of a military officer. At this time, he is rubbing the table with one hand With the other hand gently stroking the tip of his beard, he looked at the two people in the hall like eagles circling in the air to hunt.

"When you see an adult asking a question, why don't you kneel down?"

As soon as the soldiers on both sides shouted and asked, Qiao Laoer and Zheng Chengdong quickly knelt down and cried: "The villain's village was broken by Liu Ze and his men, and Liu Ze was a vicious and cruel thief who slaughtered us kind people. There are countless deaths and injuries, and blood flows like rivers, I beg the adults to make decisions for the little ones!"

Liu Yingyu sat at the head, leaned forward and asked curiously: "Who is Liu Ze? Does he have anything to do with Wang Erke?"

"Then Liu Ze is the king's second-hand general. He has the courage of a thousand men. He only led a hundred people to slaughter more than five hundred Zhuang Ding gathered by the villain's three Zhuangzi. He is cruel and heartless. He will eat a child's heart every day. Only the promiscuous three women will stop."

Qian Zong Wang Wei sneered and said: "What kind of generals are the little rebels? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? This place is the key point in the army. You will cling to it indiscriminately and drag it out first. Let's talk about thirty army sticks."

Hearing this, Qiao Laoer and Zheng Chengdong kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The traitor Liu Ze we said is true, but he is the leader of Wang's second-hand subordinate. With a rate of one hundred young and strong, one hundred old and weak will break the three of us. What a Zhuangzi, yesterday we sent people to investigate the affairs of the village, but Liu Ze actually distributed all our land to the poor."

This aroused Liu Yingyu's interest, so he put his hands on the table and said, "Oh? There is such a thing?"

Qiao Laoer and Zheng Chengdong looked at each other, and kowtowed again: "Exactly, that thief actually distributed all our land to the poor, distributed all our property to the poor, and distributed all the food and livestock to the poor. If you don’t take a penny, you’re just bewitching the people to rebel.”

"Then Liu Ze doesn't take any money? How do you raise soldiers?" A person next to him asked, looking at his attire, he should be Lord Liu's confidant.

Qiao Erer and Zheng Chengdong were dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Seeing that the soldiers on both sides were about to move, they were about to drag them to the board. If the sentence is true, if you lie, you will be punished by God.

Liu Yingyu asked again: "Are you willing to help me suppress the thieves? At that time, I will seek justice for you and take back your property. If you have merit, you will be rewarded."

"We will go through fire and water to repay the kindness of your lord for knowing you!"

The two worshiped at the same time, and Qiao's second child, who was kneeling on the left, had his skin scratched on his head, and blood flowed down and covered his eyes, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He only squinted one eye, repeating the motion of kneeling mechanically in embarrassment. , like a puppet.

"The two of you have been in our army for the past few days. When our army is ready, we will wipe out Wang Er and Liu Ze's bandits to repay the grace." Liu Yingyu stood up, bowed and clasped his fists towards Beijing as he spoke. show respect.

On the night of July 23rd, it is advisable to avoid all things today, and it is advisable to hunt.

Standing in the first row with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, Wang Shanbao asked Liu Ze, "Commander, why didn't Second Brother Wang issue an order?"

"Don't worry, wait for the sound of the drum on the drum tower." Liu Ze listened attentively and replied after finding nothing unusual.

The idlers in the alley had long been emptied, and only Liu Ze and his men were hiding here. Yang Zeming's men were guarded at the end of the alley, while Liu Ze and Wang Shanbao led people to guard in the middle of the alley. A side door in the back hall of Xiao's house, the location is very hidden.

During the daytime, many people set up stalls in this alley to make a living. There are all kinds of wonton stalls, noodle stalls, and sesame seed stalls. There are also women who sell their own embroidered insoles and cloth pockets. The business is still going on. Yes, after all, it is the place where the big family with the surname Xiao gathers, and it is much richer than ordinary places.

At the end of the alley, there is a bamboo basket stall set up by a white-bearded man, selling hand-woven bamboo baskets, baskets, dustpans, etc., which are durable and have no burrs, so they are very popular among the people. Wang Shanbao is quite familiar with this place.

In the evening, all the stalls were withdrawn, leaving only some sundries, including carts, old baskets, firewood, etc., piled up in a few small piles.

The full moon hung high, and the shadows of the soldiers guarding the alley were stretched out. Someone sneezed because of the cold. Liu Ze glanced over, and the soldiers panicked. Covering his mouth tightly, he lowered his head. At this moment, Liu Ze didn't bother to argue with him. He just put his ear close to the side door and listened to the movement inside. Fortunately, the people from Xiao's family should be having dinner, and there was nothing wrong with it. Notice this sneeze in the alley.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to take revenge in just a few days. The Xiao family is really nothing. They almost starved me to death in prison. If it weren't for you, Commander, my sister and I might have passed the first seven."

"If you do unrighteous deeds, you will die. These idiots think that they can escape by giving them some wine and meat, so I will send them back to the west tonight." Wang Shanbao murmured.

It turned out that at dusk today, all the troops sent by Wang Er swept the surrounding area and returned to the city to return to the city. After these scattered teams broke through the village and attacked the town, and recruited hungry people, their power has indeed grown multiple times, but the only hidden worry is that The food collected by sweeping around is still far from enough for consumption in the city, and the rich and rich merchants in the city use their own force and are unwilling to cooperate to contribute food, grass and money. The surrounding business roads are all blocked by the Ming army.

This created a conflict. Today, in the name of inviting the returned leader from the banquet, he invited all the rich families in the city to the banquet. As soon as these people gathered, Wang Er couldn't wait to send his men to disperse the main roads in the city, preparing for a surprise attack.

Waiting for the drum signal at this time is also Wang Er's last chance to give those nobles.

"So, do you really not have enough food?" Wang Er was standing on the main seat in the banquet in the back hall at this time, holding up his wine glass and said.

The noble guests in the hall were noisy for a while, and they all said: "Second brother, we have given everything we can, and there is not much food in the house. After years of drought and floods, the grain collected from the village in the countryside is not enough to eat. Where did it come from?" store food."

"Second brother, please forgive me. I'll thank you here! It's not like you don't know about our family."

All the guests spread their hands, looking at Wang Er in embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the second brother laughed: "Since that's the case, I won't say more. You guys are kind to me. I know that, without your help all these years, I wouldn't be where I am today! Don't say it, don't say it." Alright, I'm just drinking and having fun today, I'll talk about other things later. Everyone, please drink this cup to the brim!"

Wang Er swallowed the Huadiao wine in his glass in one gulp, ignored the crowd below to toast again, and said: "Everyone, wait a moment, I'm going to drink a few cups with those vulgar people under me, come as soon as you go, Come and go."

After Wang Er cupped his fists to make amends, he flashed into the backyard. There were also a dozen tables of wine and food here, but at this time there were only more than thirty armored soldiers sitting here with swords and shields. When Wang Er came in and made a gesture, everyone Without saying a word, he directly raised his knife and poured into the back hall.

"Second thief Wang! You are so ungrateful, don't forget that before us... ah!"

"kill!"

"Run, Wang Er wants to kill us."

At the same time, the sound of drums rose above the drum tower.
