Zhang Facun took a moment to observe the situation and said, "Brother, that's not right. The direction of the bandits' commotion is not in that dilapidated cave dwelling. Before they discover us, we must rush there and find a way to plug that loophole."
"Plug the loophole, plug what loophole?" The little eunuch was puzzled.
"Think about it," Zhang Facun explained, "if the thieves find that there is no one in the sack, they will search all over the mountain. We don't understand the terrain here, and we don't know how big the mountain is. If we are caught by them again, there will be no survivors.
It’s possible. In my opinion, it’s better to grab three back-up guys…”
The little eunuch immediately understood what Zhang Facun meant, nodded and said with a smile: "This idea of yours is quite damaging."
Zhang Facun said disapprovingly: "How many good people are there among those who go to the mountains to become bandits? Now that the situation is urgent, we have to use their lives to block the way of our officers and soldiers. They can be considered as sacrificing their lives to serve the country."
The little eunuch said: "It's not too late, let's act quickly!"
"Brother, I have to trouble you with one more thing." Zhang Fa smiled mischievously in the darkness.
"What are you talking about?" At this time, the little eunuch no longer had the majesty of the former commander, but looked like a little follower.
"You have to be a porter with us for once." Zhang Facun explained the task.
"I'm not a donkey, so why should I be a pack-bearer?" The little eunuch was still confused.
Zhang Facun said: "If you are not a donkey, you have to do something like a donkey. We will capture the prisoners later. We don't have enough people, so you have to help us carry one."
The little eunuch chuckled and said, "What big deal do I take? It turns out this is it. Okay, I'll help you carry one."
The lanterns and torches in the bandits' lair were lit for a while, and then they all went down the mountain. In an instant, the mountaintop returned to its previous darkness and calmness. Zhang Facun said:
"Brother, you have trouble walking at night, let me carry you for a while first!"
The little eunuch clung to Zhang Facun's back and smiled: "You just said you wanted me to be a donkey, but I didn't expect you to be a donkey first."
Zhang Facun sighed and said: "A person's life can be sour, sweet, bitter or spicy. If you don't taste any of it, if it weren't for you, I would still be a thief in Dakeng Town!"
The little eunuch also sighed: "You will suffer a lot if you follow me."
Zhang Facun said: "Suffering is suffering. What I did with my eldest brother was an earth-shattering undertaking. Even if I die, it will be worth it."
"Don't talk about death, we brothers must live well. The good days are yet to come, and we still have to wait for the emperor's reward!" the little eunuch corrected with a smile.
"What do I want?" Zhang Facun said, "I have seen through the affairs of the court. How big an official are you, brother? You still have to be restricted by Wang Shu's noble dog thief."
"Restrictions are restrictions," the little eunuch laughed, "Can he restrict me?"
"That's you, brother," Huang Ren interrupted, "if it had been someone else, eight lives would have been lost."
The little eunuch said: "This is not the place to talk. It is important to get things right."
While talking, the three of them went to the den of thieves and found a lighted room. When they looked inside, they saw a kitchen, no more, no less. Three master chefs were busy cutting vegetables, mincing meat, making noodles and making fire!
Zhang Facun made a gesture, and the three tigers rushed in. The master chefs were knocked unconscious before they could figure out what was going on. Zhang Facun was careful and took a large piece of meat from the broth pot, wrapped it up and put it in
In his arms, he found a rope in the corner of the kitchen and tied it to his waist, and then he carried a master on his back to the dilapidated cave dwelling.
The three masters were tied up, and just in case they woke up and made a noise, each of them stuffed a piece of rag into his mouth, and then put it into a sack. The little eunuch was always a little intolerant. I wonder if these three had any murder cases and were good or bad guys.
, throwing them off the cliff alive like this, if there are still wives, children, and old parents at home, it is really not the best idea. When he expressed his thoughts, Zhang Facun smiled and said:
"Brother, as a general, you have killed countless people, why did you become a wife today?"
The little eunuch said: "Everyone I kill has a reason. I never kill someone without a reason."
Zhang Facun retorted: "As you said, it is appropriate for the bandits to throw us into the ravine? I have just said that they are also called serving the country. Besides, these three people were not killed by us, but
Just die for us, the murderer is a bandit. If the elder brother is serious, he can investigate afterward. If these three people were really thrown down the mountain and died, and they were good people during their lifetime and there were no murders, then report it to the court and give it to their families
If they pay pensions and the government supports their parents, wives and children, they can be considered martyrs, what do you think?"
The little eunuch said: "That's all."
After the bandit Jia Haisheng cleaned up the three young eunuchs, the brothers continued to sit down and drink. Jia Haisheng picked up a bowl of wine and said to the fourth child:
"Thanks to you, fourth brother. If you hadn't recognized him in time, we would have almost been fooled. Brother, did you recognize the wrong person?"
The fourth man raised his neck, poured down the bowl of wine offered by the leader of the village, wiped his mouth and said, "How could I admit my mistake? After Princess Hulunbei captured this officer and soldier leader, I was the one who took him to prison.
. Later, the man surnamed Pan ran away, and the responsibility for the investigation in Hulunbei fell on me. When I saw that the situation was not good, I defected to my brother. You are here, do you think I can admit the wrong person? "
Jia Haisheng heard what he said was reasonable and praised: "Okay, Fourth, you are doing a good job. The horse of the military commander has been sold to someone else, so I will reward you with his sword!"
The fourth child stood up from the table, clasped his hands into fists, and said respectfully: "Thank you, brother!"
The second and third children said: "Brother, I have something unclear?"
"Tell me, brother, do we still need to beat around the bush like this?" Jia Haisheng picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
"If you don't kill the man named Pan immediately, why do you have to wait until the dead of night?" asked the second and third sons.
"You don't understand this. The three of them are not ordinary people. If the news leaks out and it is said that we killed the army commander, how big do you think this crime should be? How dare we birdmen fight with
Is the court right?"
"What if we let them go?" the second and third asked again.
"You can't let them go," Gahaisheng said. "Now that we've captured them, we can't let them go."
The second and third children said: "What if we take this opportunity to defect to the army? Maybe we can be successful in rescuing the enemy and get a big official! Didn't Song Gongming lead Liangshan to recruit all the heroes?"
"Forget it, forget it, don't ask Huazi to marry a wife just to think about good things!" Jia Haisheng shook his head disdainfully and said, "Why should we be recruited? Did we rescue that person named Pan? We have been doing it to him from the beginning.
It’s a trap, isn’t it like recruiting people to be beheaded by sending them to their doorsteps?”
The second and third sons were speechless. Jia Haisheng went on to say:
"As soon as the officers and soldiers retreat, the Han people will start to move around. By then we will still have a lot of business to do, and we won't worry about our brothers going hungry."
"What should we do with the three master chefs? We borrowed them from Fuguilou and agreed on a six-month deadline, and it's almost here." As soon as the second and third brothers heard the boss talking about his stomach, they immediately thought of the three cooks.
"Hey - what the hell, is there anyone who can return the things that the thief borrowed? I'll hold off for now. If that doesn't work, I'll kill the boss of Fugui Tower and ask him to come and demand his people." Jia Haisheng said confidently.
Suddenly, a young man came to report: "Your Majesty, there is a woman at the bottom of the mountain who is yelling and scolding, saying that she wants someone, otherwise she will come up the mountain overnight."
Jia Haisheng shouted and said: "Come on, let's see how brave a woman is. I am worried about the lack of a wife to support the village!"
The leader of the village gave the order, and all the torches were lit immediately. The village was short of manpower, except for the three cooks, and almost the whole village came out and went down the mountain in a hurry.
When they reached a flat place at the foot of the hillside, Jia Haisheng walked closer and saw a woman dressed as a foreigner called Zhen. He did not dare to step forward and asked the fourth man behind him:
"Brother, do you know this bitch?"
"She is my princess from Hulunbei," said the fourth child.
"Brother, you didn't make a mistake, did you?" Jia Haisheng was shocked, "She is a princess, why is your princess here?"
"Brother, she is a princess. I have admired her for a long time and thought about her day and night. How could I be wrong?"
Tianshan Xue watched the bandit soldiers coming down the mountain from a distance. Before he could get closer, he shouted loudly: "If you want to survive, let Marshal Pan go down the mountain, otherwise no one from your village will be left behind!"
Jia Haisheng didn't want to and didn't dare to be an enemy of Fan Ren. Hearing the opponent shout "Marshal Pan" back to her, he knew without guessing that this matter was related to the pretty boy he caught a few days ago. He didn't dare to answer, so he turned around and shouted after a moment's surprise.
"Retreat", the gangsters who had just come down the mountain immediately turned around and fled up the mountain.
The four thieves sat in the hall again and drank together. The second and third thief suggested waiting, but the fourth still insisted on taking action immediately. Jia Haisheng hesitated for a while. Just now he supported the fourth and asked the woman to stir things up after he came down the mountain.
, and felt that the matter was of great importance. Hearing the quarrel among several brothers, he couldn't help but shout:
"Hurry up, do it now! Let the tiger return to the mountain, and the tiger will hurt people. Throw those three people into the ditch!"
