One hundred and eighty-seventh chapter unpredictable
Unexpectedly, these words made Feng Haijiao frown and scolded sternly: "So, you can just run away if you want?!"
The men were shocked and turned pale, kowtowing and begging: "I don't dare, I don't dare!" Even though his wife was tied up, she kowtowed and begged.
Feng Haijiao sneered and said: "Pull them all down and chop them all!"
The soldiers immediately came to pull people away. There was a lot of crying in the polder, some shouting "spare my life" and some shouting "unjust". The gangsters nearby also felt that this was too much, even though they were all "new brothers"
", I have also been stirring the pot in the same pot for several months. But they were all afraid of the evil star Feng Haijiao, and no one dared to come up to intercede. As they watched several people being pulled over, the soldiers slashed them with swords, and suddenly
Four heads fell, and blood spurted out of the cavity.
The soldier shook off the blood on his knife and was about to come over to pull him away. Bi Xuansheng squeezed out from behind, panting and looking like he was rushing over, and persuaded: "Master! Master! Even if they are not good in every way,
You, sir, have a lot of them, please spare their lives..."
Feng Haijiao said impatiently: "The war is about to begin. How to deal with escaping from the battle? Sir, don't you know better than me?!"
Bi Xuansheng bowed to the end, showing great humility, and said: "Master! The team is about to leave. It is human nature for a husband and wife and their family members to come to see each other off. If you want to behead someone, it would be too harsh...
…”
"So I have wronged them?" Feng Haijiao asked, glaring at his yellow eyes.
Bi Xuansheng hurriedly said: "The master is serious. If they really intend to escape, the students will not dare to plead for mercy. But now is the time to employ people. The family members send each other off, which shakes the morale of the army. After all, they are all new brothers.
, don’t understand the rules, just teach them a few sticks. Why kill people.”
Feng Haijiao saw the expressions of intolerance on the faces of the minions on the fairground, and Bi Xuansheng also begged humbly to prevent another incident, so he said: "Since you interceded for them, please spare their lives." Then he called out.
Come to the captain of the personal soldiers, "Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be forgiven. Each of these individuals, regardless of gender, will be beaten with eighty military sticks! Let us serve as a warning!" After saying this, he snorted heavily with his nose, and then returned to the mansion with his riding whip.
.
Bi Xuansheng saw the captain of the soldiers coming with military sticks and wanted to tie up a group of people. He said: "There are women here. If they are beaten with military sticks, it will be bad luck. Just get some bamboo sticks and beat them."
Everyone knew that he was taking advantage of "bad luck" to replace the important with light, and they all watched with grateful eyes as they watched this young master, who they had regarded as an "outsider" in the past, leave. Then everyone dispersed, each busy with his own business.
——Everyone is afraid that he will become the next batch of chickens to be slaughtered.
On the polder field, more than a dozen minions and their mothers, wives, and sisters were tied up and thrown to the ground by the soldiers. The bamboo sticks of military sticks crackled and fell, and the whole place was filled with the sound of wailing and begging for mercy. Four headless bodies
The body was abandoned and the soil was stained black with blood.
Feng Haijiao's moving operation was delayed for another day, and it was not until the early morning of the third day that the fleet set off one by one. He and his men were all accustomed to eating on the water. The boat was well prepared and they were familiar with the waterway. Although they were worried about an ambush by the Australians on the way,
, I was nervous all the way, but the voyage was smooth.
Zhuangzi in Xinlaonan is located in the mountains at the junction of Yangshan and neighboring counties. It has always been a Sangui area. There were originally Yao people villages here. Later, most of them were wiped out by officers and soldiers. Many foreign Hakkas moved in to cultivate the mountains, forming a
This eliminated the situation of Han and Yao living together.
Xinlao Nan's family has been a half-farmer and half-banditry for generations. The place where Xinjiazhuang is located is called Leidapo. It is actually an isolated peak among the high mountains. It is surrounded by ravines and steep valleys. The top of the peak is slightly flat, and there are
The water source has become a place where villages gather.
There are only three roads to go up to Leidapo. Feng Haijiao took the most convenient one. Get off the boat at Huwan on the bank of Lianjiang River and walk up Huangdangou for twenty miles to reach the first road of Leidapo.
Under the village gate.
Feng Haijiao's fleet had an uneventful journey and abandoned the ship at Huwan. The team headed up the Huangdangou. The terrain of Huangdangou is not steep. There are dense jungles on both sides of the canyon. At the bottom of the canyon is a gurgling stream and a gravel path.
It winds along the stream and extends deep into the water. The scenery is extremely beautiful.
However, Feng Haijiao and his party had no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way. Although it was only twenty miles from Huwan to Leidapo, the team, including porters and their families, numbered four to five hundred people, and they also carried many boxes and cages.
The cage is soft and heavy. Carrying it along the mountain road consumes much more energy than on the flat ground. Fortunately, the mountain here is not steep and the road is not difficult and dangerous. Walk and rest along the way, starting from noon to evening.
Less than one-third of the way was reached. The porters and the men were exhausted enough. Except for the big boss’s family members who were riding in sedan chairs, the women and children accompanying the team were all on foot. After all, the journey was not far, although the team was traveling along the way.
We walked sparsely, and we mostly arrived at the campsite before dark.
Feng Haijiao rode in a sedan all the way to the place where he was staying. He saw people and horses staggering here and there, all kinds of boxes and cages of goods scattered all over the floor, and some of the packages were torn. There was no one on guard around the camp. The gangsters were either lying on the ground and resting.
Or they would sit in the cold water and eat dry food. They could not help but feel angry, scolded and whipped, and finally drove everyone off the ground. Sentries were posted in all directions. Then they returned to rest under the thatched hut.
After resting for a while, the leader came to report that he didn't have much food with him and there was not enough to eat now.
"Didn't everyone receive ten days' worth of dry food before departure? It's only been six days, why is there not enough food already?"
"Dry food was distributed for ten days, but it was only for the soldiers. Many of them had to take care of their families..." The leader was confused, "There are also more than a hundred servants, because they have to carry goods, they can't carry them for a few days.
Dry food.”
"If the porters don't tell you, don't the families of each family prepare dry food themselves?"
"Every small family in the small family is short of food and can't prepare much." The leader said, "I think I'd like to send some masters back to Huwan early tomorrow morning to carry some food."
There were still several hundred shi of food left on the ship in Huwan. Since there was no manpower to carry it, we had to stay on the ship and send people to guard it.
Feng Haijiao hesitated - it wasn't that he didn't want to part with the grain, but once he sent porters to transport the grain, part of these soft boxes and cages would have to be left behind in the middle of the road before he could continue moving forward. Of course, after arriving at the mountain village, he could still
He would send someone to pick it up again. However, the boxes and cages were all made of gold, silver, and soft material. He was worried about leaving it in the valley - even if he sent someone to guard it, these things would be enough to make someone have evil intentions.
"Tell everyone to be patient. When we get to the village, there will be wine and meat, open to the public and eat!" Feng Haijiao was in a hurry to go up the mountain. Firstly, he could only guarantee safety in the village. Secondly, he was also eager to see Master Zhan and listen to him.
news - especially news from officers and soldiers.
For Feng Haijiao at the moment, Zhan Zhekun's aura as the master of Commander Xiong has become his life-saving straw. He knows that he can only survive by hiding in Xinjiazhuang. When they calm down the three Lianyang clans, he will naturally become more powerful.
Take action to clean up yourself.
If you want to survive and continue to be his "Three Hegemons of Yangshan", you can only rely on the imperial court.
However, the rumors these days have made him panic all day long, because it is rumored that Xiong Wencan has been dismissed by the imperial court and his life may be in danger. Once Xiong Wencan is beheaded, Zhan Zhekun will naturally have no value. Can the new governor still think of him?
This "lonely loyalty" is a big question mark.
While I was worrying, someone came over to report: "Someone from Xinjiazhuang is here."
Feng Haijiao perked up and said, "How many people are here?"
"three people."
Hearing that only three people came, Feng Haijiao was secretly disappointed. He originally thought that Xin Laonan would send someone to reward him with wine and meat, which would at least make his men less tired and resentful.
"Call in."
A mountain man came in. This man was known to Feng Haijiao and was a close confidant of Xin Laonan.
"Small Huangdaqiao, see Mr. Feng." He kowtowed to the ground as he spoke.
"Please get up." Feng Haijiao put on an "official appearance" and obviously wanted to speak, but he remained silent for a while before asking: "Did you get it from Shopkeeper Xin?"
"Yes, Master." Huang Daqiao said respectfully, "I have been ordered by my shopkeeper to come here to greet Master Feng and also bring a message to Master Feng."
"Just say it."
"First, Shopkeeper Xin asked me how many people are going to come. There must be a number so that he can arrange food and accommodation..."
Feng Haijiao secretly thought that this old fox was quite sophisticated! He was probably afraid that I would become more of a guest because there were so many people.
Thinking of this, he sighed pretending to be sad and said: "To be honest, Brother Sun was defeated and died this time, which greatly damaged the prestige of our brothers. Since ancient times, we have shared wealth and hardship, and shared hardships. All the people who came to join us originally
Brother Lu has left a lot - and I can't keep him. Now only the old brothers from before can still follow me."
Huang Daqiao listened respectfully.
Feng Haijiao looked like he had no hope of a future and was discouraged, "I have more than a hundred brothers. Including family members, there are also three hundred people. It's just that this time the brothers came out from Qinglianwei to join Shopkeeper Xin, and the whole family will be treated as one."
We have brought them all, so we hired more than 200 people to accompany them. When these people arrive at the village, they will be given a full meal and then sent home, so there is no need to prepare more food."
These words are false and untrue. His team has a large number of people, which cannot be hidden from anyone. Even if it is dark now and the Yellow Bridge cannot be seen clearly, Xin Laonan's spies will have enough time to count him when they hit the road tomorrow.
number of people.
Fortunately, there are indeed many family members in his team. Although there are not as many as nearly 200 people, it can at least dispel part of Xin Laonan's suspicion. He said that there are about a hundred old brothers under him, which is also an old thing that Xin Laonan knows.
There are many boxes and cages, and most people are moving them. This is also true.
"Yes, I will tell the shopkeeper when I get back."
"Since there is one, there are naturally two. What else can Shopkeeper Xin say?"
