Just as Liu Dazhu wanted to pull out his body completely, a sound came from outside the thatched cottage.

He immediately stood motionless in the cesspool, carefully not making any sound.

As the wood door of the thatched cottage was pulled open, someone's footsteps came closer.

Liu Dazhu was in pain because some filth was in his eyes. He barely opened his eyes and looked through the gaps in the wooden board. It seemed that two Eight Banners soldiers came in. They took out the guy and started chatting on it.

One of them said, "What the commander said just now..."

"Speak softly." The other person interrupted him immediately without waiting for the man to finish his words. After looking around, the other person lowered his voice and said, "Bitou is the confidant of the commander. If I know you and I discuss it privately, there will be no good results."

"Does it really mean to be a convicted bandit and attack the emperor at Hulukou is a crime that implicates the nine clans."

"Justice Master said just now that our Eight Banners have conquered the world for the emperor, and now the country is stable, so don't want us anymore. Even if the emperor does this, he will not be righteous! Besides, this is not a rebellion, but just detaining the emperor and letting the emperor correct the injustice against our Eight Banners."

"You believe this too. Although we are not having a good time at home, we still have two dragon rounds a month, so we can do nothing and have a carefree life. No matter if the people above win, we have to call our master. If anyone becomes the master, we will not be slaves. But if the commander wants to get rid of the matter, our heads have to be hung in a cage for the people under the city to admire."

"What you said is true, but can we both leave now?"

"Oh..." the man sighed and said with a little discouraged look: "You and I have been on the pirate ship. Now the yellow mud is stained in my crotch, which is shit and shit, and it is shit or shit."

"You can't say that, what if the commander arrested the emperor."

"I have to do this. I hope the commander will catch the emperor and we will call others the master again. If we do it well, we can get a job."

When the two said this, they shook their bodies, tied their belts, and walked out chatting.

"Damn it, it would be great if I didn't follow him yesterday."

"Who told you to love money? Your eyes lit up after a few dragon rounds."

"It's not all because of money. Now no one who has the three banners in the capital has any objection to the emperor. The good military pay has been stopped. The job was even worse, so he was taken to Shengjing to guard the border. Besides, the commander has the imperial edict of the empress dowager."

"That's the imperial edict, I think it was carved by the carving master from a small alley."

"How do you know?"

"That year, my younger brother asked someone to do an errand. In order to provide a relationship, I found someone to imitate a letter from a distant relative. This distant relative was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and after that, he stamped a large radish seal." After that, both of them laughed and their voices gradually drifted away.

After hearing the two of them left, Liu Dazhu didn't dare to come out for the time being. After waiting for a long time, he had disappeared and then secretly climbed up from the cesspool. The air-permeable thatched cottage was surrounded by bamboo fences. When he looked out through the gap, there was no one around.

After walking out of the cottage, Liu Dazhu carefully searched from house to house. More than a dozen families from the beginning of the village to the end of the village quickly finished the inspection. Liu Dazhu cried silently in the backyard of the second Liu family. His knees softened and he knelt in front of piles of corpses. Under the body, Liu Dazhu pulled out the mother with a big hole in her chest.

Liu Dazhu wanted to die sorrowfully, but it was this hatred that supported him to quickly get up and run out of the village.

******************************

Only a few miles away from the gourd mouth, a group of teams stopped by the roadside.

This team of hundreds of people is in an orderly manner and protects the people in the middle of the team at all levels.

On the nearby high ground, there were guards standing guards watching the surroundings, and there were guards holding a evasive sign near the outer layer, and the quiet signs prohibited people from approaching.

This team was Liu Ji's patrol. This time, shipyards in Shanghai and Tianjin were completed one after another. China has three shipyards in the north, central and southern regions, laying a solid foundation for China's coastal defense. Liu Ji was delighted and decided to inspect the nearby Tianjin shipyard to see with his own eyes whether the investment in spending a large amount of silver dollars in the treasury was worth it.

The patrol team continued to set off after repairing Wen'an County. When the civil servants riding horses arrived here, they couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing their uncomfortable appearance, Liu Ji stopped the team here.

It was almost at night (about 3 o'clock), and a person with a dirty body emitting a foul smell appeared on the road.

As soon as the man arrived in front of the team, he shouted loudly: "I want to see the emperor!"

A guard who covered his nose outside came forward and kicked him and shouted, "You are so stinky that you still want to see the emperor, but you are against you."

This man was Liu Dazhu who was taking a small road. He knelt on the ground anxiously and shouted: "The villain has something important to meet the emperor. Really, please let me see the emperor."

Liu Dazhu, who was crawling forward, was kicked away by the guard's horse boots again. He heard the guard shout, "Don't move forward, go and wash it before you can come."

After being driven away several times, Liu Dazhu stood up sadly. He seemed to have a heavy stone pressing on his heart, and his nose felt aroused. There was no village before or store behind me and let me wash. Do you think I like this? There is no way! All the people in the village were dead. If it weren't for me... Liu Dazhu couldn't think about it and cried out in a sad way.

"Big brother, I see you were just yelling to see the emperor. What's wrong with you?"

Liu Dazhu raised his head inviting voice. He saw a bear on his chest talking to him with a slightly frown.

"Brother, what's your name? What's the matter?"

"Little man Liu Dazhu, someone is going to attack the emperor?"

The man's face immediately changed, and he asked, "How do you know?"

"Those flag soldiers killed everyone in my village, and I was the only one who escaped."

"Did you report this to the Emperor?"

"The guards won't let me see you."

"You can't see the emperor even if you go. Your stinking smell will definitely not see you."

"I don't believe it. The emperor is a good emperor and I will definitely see me."

"Well, go to the front gourd to wash your body, and then come back to see the emperor."

Although Liu Dazhu was a little silly, he was not stupid. This man's words made him alert. Aren't the murderous flag soldiers at Hulukou? Why did this man ask him to go to Hulukou? His eyes widened and he looked straight at the officer.

This look made Mingshan uncomfortable and asked strangely: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"You are a sarcastic person."
