Chapter 70 Pour boiling water on the ant nest

Late at night, ancestral hall.

The villagers were all sleepy-eyed and yawning.

After the village chief finished talking about the bandits planning to attack the village tonight, everyone woke up from their drowsiness in an instant.

"Village chief, what are we still doing here? Run!" someone shouted anxiously.

"It's late at night, and you're dragging a family with you. Where can you run? Besides, the bandit might be outside the village right now. You going out will suit their needs, and you won't have to come to the village to catch him." The village chief said solemnly.

Many villagers' legs weakened and they collapsed directly on the ground.

"Village chief, what the bandits want is money. Let's give them all the money so they won't enter the village." Someone suggested.

"Idiot, those bandits kill people without blinking an eye. How can they think so highly of us?" the village chief scolded.

On the way to the ancestral hall, he also thought about it.

If the bandits were just robbing, there would be no need to set up a suspicious formation in Lishui Village to lure away the county government officials.

With such thorough preparations, he clearly wanted to destroy Taoyuan Village so that the government would not be able to come to support him in time!

Either the bandits won't come tonight, or if they come, let them enter the village.

So from now on, there will be no Taoyuan Village in the world.

"What should I do, village chief? I don't want to die." someone cried.

Hearing the cry, the timid and fearful people also cry.

For a time, the ancestral hall was filled with crying.

This scene made the village chief furious. He pointed at them and cursed: "Look at how cowardly you are! The bandits haven't come yet, but you are already cowarded. When the bandits come, don't resist. Just watch them kill you." Parents, just sleep with your wives and daughters."

The person who was still crying suddenly forgot to cry when he heard this.

"Village Chief, what do you want me to do? I listen to you!" The person who cried first said anxiously.

He was afraid of death, but he couldn't just watch his parents being killed and his wife and daughter being humiliated.

"Village chief, we also listen to you!"

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

The village chief said with a stern face, "Don't worry, Dahe and I have already thought of a way. We just need to hold off the bandits and prevent them from entering the village until dawn."

No matter how brave the bandits are, they don't dare to kill people in broad daylight.

After dawn, the official officers who went to Lishui Village should also come back, and they would just pass by Taoyuan Village.

Seeing that time was almost up, the village chief selected all the men with good physical strength.

They were divided into three groups according to their heads, led by Su Dahai and his two sons, Su Quan and Su Xiao.

After a while, Su Dahai quietly left the back of the village with more than 20 villagers and Uncle Aniu's ox cart, and after a half circle, they arrived not far from the village entrance.

"Everyone light the torches!"

Su Dahai gave the order, and everyone quickly lit the torches and drove the ox cart towards the village.

Su Dahai walked in front, shouting as he walked: "The county magistrate is here, everyone waiting to leave quickly!"

This is what Su Dahe came up with.

Empty city plan.

The bandits want to attack Taoyuan Village at night, so they must be hiding in the dark, ready to attack at any time.

But now that the county magistrate is here, whether they believe it or not, they will take action.

As long as you have concerns, you will not dare to act rashly, and this is exactly what Su Dahe wants.

Village entrance.

The village chief had been waiting here early. When he saw Su Dahai and the others arriving, he quickly went over and brought the people into the village.

Fang Hu came to the village and walked a little bit. If he were on the mountain at this time, he would just be able to see the direction of the torch moving toward the village chief's house.

This is also to dispel their doubts. After all, there must be something wrong if the county magistrate comes to the village instead of going to the village chief's house.

After waiting outside the village chief's house, the women, children, old people and the weak who had been waiting there took the torches and stood there, letting those who had just returned go to rest nearby. Animals are afraid of fire, and so are people.

In particular, these torches were brought by people from the Yamen. As long as the torches are still there, it means that the people from the Yamen are still there.

Even if you give the bandits a hundred courages, they won't dare to attack Tai Sui.

After arranging everyone, the village chief hurriedly came to Su Dahe.

"Dahe, Xiaoshan are you back?"

"It should be soon." Su Dahe muttered.

Zhao Xiaoshan did not go to the ancestral hall before, but was arranged by Su Dahe to go down the mountain to see if there was anything abnormal.

No matter whether the bandit came down from the mountain or passed by below, Zhao Xiaoshan could see it.

Just as he was talking, Zhao Xiaoshan ran over panting.

"Dahe, you guessed it right. The bandits are all on the mountain. I saw them as soon as I arrived at the bottom of the mountain."

"You weren't discovered, were you?" Su Dahe said quickly.

Zhao Xiaoshan looked confident, "My ability to observe prey was taught by Brother Da Jiang. Most people can't find me."

Su Dahe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Have you seen how many bandits there are?"

"About fifty or sixty people, but..." Zhao Xiaoshan hesitated, "I don't think they are ordinary bandits, but they look like... Brother Da Jiang!"

The village chief looked confused, "What does it mean that bandits are like a big river?"

"It's not like Brother Da Jiang, that's wrong, or it's like Brother Da Jiang, I can't tell." Zhao Xiaoshan scratched his head and ears anxiously.

"I understand!" Su Dahe suddenly raised his head.

The biggest difference between Su Dajiang and ordinary people now is that he has an official aura, which people who are not officials will not have.

What does it mean that those bandits have official aura now?

The bandits are officers and soldiers pretending to be soldiers!

But this is impossible. Why do the officers and soldiers pretend to be bandits and come to Taoyuan Village?

Su Dahe's mind was in chaos, and something seemed to be coming out.

"By the way, I just saw that their leader only had one eye." Zhao Xiaoshan said, rubbing his head.

[Am I not so unlucky? Ahhhh...]

[The leader who massacred Qijia Village in his previous life only had one eye, but they massacred Qijia Village in their previous life. Why has it become Taoyuan Village now? 】

At this time, all the Su family members were at the village chief's house, and they were all stunned after hearing this.

[I'm numb... I finally survived until now and now I'm about to die]

"Village chief, those bandits may be soldiers pretending to be soldiers."

Su Dahe originally made a guess, but now he just puts a stone to the sword, okay?

The village chief looked puzzled, "Then why did they come to our village pretending to be bandits?"

[Of course it is for the iron ore in the mountains. In the previous life, they massacred Qijia Village and used Qijia Village as a cover to mine...]

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, after tonight, the ant nests in the village will be poured with boiling water, the earthworms will be chopped upright, the eggs will be shaken to pieces and turn yellow, and the dogs will be slapped twice! 】

Su family: How much hatred and resentment is there? No need to!

Su Dahe's hair stood on end and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

For the sake of iron ore, these people went so crazy as to massacre a whole village!

wrong!

If they were members of the imperial court, they could dig mines openly.

But now they have to use Tucun to cover up, which shows that they are not from the imperial court, but from a certain party!

"Village chief, no matter who they are, they cannot be allowed to enter the village." Su Dahe said seriously.

Only the dead can keep secrets. Once those people are allowed into the village, the end of Taoyuan Village will come.

Su Dahe looked at Su Quan, "Brother Su, start the second plan!"
