"He can't hear and can't speak." Zhan Zhekun put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "Don't waste your energy."
Feng Haijiao suddenly realized: "It's you?!"
Zhan Zhekun nodded silently, seemingly not paying attention to the thunderous banging on the door. When Xin Laonan rebuilt this temple, he regarded this place as his last stronghold. Not only were the walls thick, but the doors and windows were all made of hardwood.
The iron leaves, bolts and bars are all added to the door. No matter how many people are outside, flesh and blood and a few swords and guns cannot break it open.
"Zhan Zhekun! I advise you to be clearer. I brought hundreds of brothers up the mountain..."
Zhan Zhekun was too lazy to talk to him and asked sideways: "Have you let out the cigarette yet?"
"If you tell me back to the master, let it go! The general manager has already sent a message back."
"Take him down!" Zhan Zhekun ordered, "Tie him up firmly!"
People from both sides came up immediately and tied Feng Haijiao tightly. Feng Haijiao was not afraid at first. After all, he had brothers numbering thirty or forty outside the temple, and he had three village gates in his hands. He still had a lot of power, but not
After a while, shouts of killing could be heard outside. Screams, screams, begging for mercy and the clash of swords were mixed together, one after another. After several more rounds, the fighting outside gradually subsided.
Feng Haijiao's face also alternated between cheerful and gloomy. However, as he heard the sounds outside gradually subsided, another person came in and said a few words in Zhan Zhekun's ear. The cunning master's brows instantly widened, and he couldn't help but
I lamented in my heart: "It's over!" The whole person felt exhausted.
Zhan Zhekun opened the door to the palace, only to see a mess of blood and flesh outside. Stretching from the entrance to the outside of the temple, there were three or four corpses scattered everywhere, and more than a dozen prisoners were kneeling aside, miserable. The battlefield was filled with
There was an unpleasant stench. Zhan Zhekun smiled slightly and asked Dong Zheng how he was directing his minions to clean up the battlefield, and then asked: "How many casualties are there, brothers?"
"Only three died and seven or eight were injured," Jie Wendong complimented, "Master, what a brilliant plan!"
In fact, this so-called clever trick is not uncommon. The secret lies in the herbal tea at the foot of the mountain. Although this herbal tea does not contain strong medicines such as rhubarb and croton, it contains double the amount of herbal medicine. After a long journey, I drank the cold herbal tea with my whole body covered in sweat.
, before reaching the top of the mountain, some people couldn't bear it. Although most people were not in such an urgent need to deal with it on the spot, the cramps in their stomachs also made it difficult for them to exert their due fighting power. Let alone Jiewendong's brigade.
The number of men and horses was more than twice as large as theirs. They surged out from behind the temple and instantly beat these stomach-achey minions to a pulp.
"Where are the various village gates?"
"The main entrance has been taken, and they have all been killed." Jie Wendong said, "The minions below still don't know what happened..."
Zhan Zhekun asked: "Have you got all Feng Haijiao's command arrows for defense?"
"They've all been taken."
"Okay, you send someone to the main gate immediately with his command arrow, and I will be there soon."
"Yes, I understand, little one!"
One hundred men led by Mo Chongtong rested for half an hour before slowly climbing the mountain. As soon as they passed the second gate of the village, they all had stomach cramps and complained incessantly. Mo Chong took this opportunity to rest at the second gate.
Seeing the smoke rising from the top of the mountain, knowing that the mountain had been conquered, he was secretly happy - he had been incited to rebel by Bi Xuansheng for a long time.
Then he urged the team to climb the mountain according to the pre-arrangement. When they arrived at the main gate, people and horses had already been arranged inside. They were surrounded as soon as they entered the village gate. Most of these people were new to Feng Haijiao not long ago and had not received any benefits from him.
They had stomach cramps, and Mo Chong tried to comfort them, and then they surrendered. However, the stomach pain was so unbearable that they had to resort to it on the spot, causing a stink. Fortunately, they were prepared at the village, and they survived.
Jiang Ren drank the medicinal decoction that was warm to the stomach and cool to the stomach, and then the abdominal pain and diarrhea gradually stopped.
Although his stomach no longer hurts, he is sitting on the ground unarmed and being held at knifepoint, with corpses and heads lying on the ground. All the gangsters are terrified, fearing that their lives may not be saved.
At this moment, Zhan Zhekun asked someone to bring out several trays full of silver. The eyes of these minions suddenly lit up.
"Brothers!" He glanced at the group of people sitting on the ground, "Feng Haijiao was favored by himself and received tremendous favor. He did not think about repaying the divine grace and benefiting the people. Instead, he acted perversely, colluded with the thieves, and disturbed the people and the hometown! Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi
Master Xiong has ordered him to be beheaded, and his head will be passed down to the three members of Lian Yang as a warning to others!"
These murderous official words made the minions below feel terrified, fearing that they too would become "rebellious parties".
"...However, Mr. Xiong has a good life and will punish the first culprits immediately. As long as those who coerce and repent, they can be spared and left alone. Not only will they not be asked, they can also continue to serve the court."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and someone brought several plates full of silver, shining like silver.
"As long as you are willing to contribute to the imperial court, you will not only be exempted from the death penalty, but also receive a heavy reward." Zhan Zhekun glanced at the audience, "Who is willing to serve the imperial court and eliminate the remaining members of Feng Haijiao?"
"I'm willing!" Mo Chong was the first to stand up. He knew that this was a good opportunity to receive a certificate of investment. Although he would inevitably have to fight with his former brothers, it was still more valuable than the large silver reward Bi Xuansheng promised him.
For Aunt Feng Haijiao, it was worth the risk. What's more, they were using more to defeat fewer, and higher to defeat lower. Not to mention that they could easily capture them, so there wasn't much risk.
"Okay, Brother Mo, it's great to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" Zhan Zhekun said and waved, "Bring me some wine! I'll reward you with fifty taels of silver!"
Before he finished speaking, someone brought a large silver ingot and a glass of wine to Mo Chong. Mo Chong knew that the next step would be to see how deep his trick was. He drank the wine in one gulp and picked up the wine.
When the sword and gun came, he turned around and said to the minions: "Who is willing to follow me to fight those idiots?!"
Because Feng Haijiao's troops were expanding rapidly, and he himself had no talent for military management, there was a deep conflict between the old and the new. At this moment, he was aroused by Zhan Zhekun's few words, plus the stimulation of "heavy reward". These minions were one by one.
With their eyes red, they all stood up and said they were willing to fight. At that moment, Jie Wendong and Mo Chong led the team with more than a hundred people and rushed down the mountain in a mighty manner.
The second gate and the west gate are both one-way gates. They can only defend against enemies at the bottom of the mountain, but have no defense against enemies coming from behind. Those who came down from the mountain were "our own people" headed by Mo Chong, and there were also Feng Haijiao's command arrows, leaving behind
The minions at the next level were unprepared and were successfully attacked by Mo Chong. The defenders of the second gate were instantly wiped out. These "new brothers" usually had deep conflicts with the "old brothers" and would kill at the first sight of blood. There was no need to urge them.
Then they rushed down the mountain road and slaughtered all Feng Haijiao's men at Da Ximen without any effort.
Jiewendong's group of people rushed down the mountain and met Bi Xuansheng at the foot of the mountain with his family members, property, and civilian husbands. These bandits had already become red-eyed and rushed in, killing and raping. Even Jiewendong drank.
Unable to stop it, Bi Xuansheng was almost killed in the chaos. Fortunately, Zhan Zhekun had been prepared and led his troops to follow, and then gathered the team. However, the outside of the Daxi Gate had already become a Shura field.
Although there were heavy casualties, most of the casualties in this melee were Feng Haijiao's people, and the civilians who were killed were even more dispensable. Feng Haijiao's many years of savings and his family members were all captured. In addition, Feng Haijiao's troops were recruited.
, the ship's grain seized in Huwan. Yang Juren made a solid fortune.
"Take the heads of Feng Haijiao and his main leaders and cronies, dead or alive. Use lime to collect the heads."
"All Feng's minions captured at the temple and various village gates were killed."
"Those who surrender, civilians, those who are willing to stay in the stronghold, and those who are unwilling to stay, will be given ten days of food and left to their own devices."
"All the captured family members and ownerless ones will be given to the brothers on the mountain."
"Everyone in the village, whether old or new, regardless of their status, will be rewarded with four taels of silver."
"Reward Mo Chong with one hundred taels of silver, and answer Dong's question with three hundred taels..."
…
Zhan Zhekun arranged various chores here and kept everything in order, but at the same time he called Bi Xuansheng over.
"There is one more difficult thing that I need you to go for."
"What's the difficulty?" Bi Xuansheng asked. He had made great achievements this time, and both Yang Ju and Zhan Zhekun praised him highly. They not only rewarded him with a large amount of silver, but also gave him Feng Haijiao's two concubines.
For a moment, he was very proud and felt that he was unparalleled in strategy. His mind was filled with the fantasy of serving the imperial court and rescuing Lianyang San from the water and fire. Zhan Zhekun left it to him, so he naturally took a fancy to his excited spirit.
state.
"Let's take a trip to Yangshan County."
At this time, no matter how excited Bi Xuansheng was, it was like having a bucket of ice water poured into his pocket. Yangshan County was under the rule of the Kun thief, and he was Feng Haijiao's master. Wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap by running to the county? What's more, Yangshan
The new female magistrate of Shan County is violent and murderous. Since she took office, she has killed not one thousand but also five hundred bandits and their family members.
Thinking of the rumored tragic situation of a group of people in Sun Dabiao's gang who were captured and tortured to death, Bi Xuansheng felt cold air rising from his feet, and his body began to tremble involuntarily. Could Master Zhan be trying to borrow a knife to kill someone?
Do you want to get rid of him too? Are you preparing to harm Yang Juren?
"Don't be afraid." Zhan Zhekun saw his fear and was a little disappointed, so he had to comfort him and said, "Although you are Feng Haijiao's master, almost all of his people will be wiped out in one fell swoop. Does Sun Dabiao know anyone of you?"
There are not many people alive. As long as you change your name and makeup, you won’t be discovered.”
"The master is right, yes," Bi Xuansheng cheered up a little and said, "Why do you want students to go to Yangshan?"
"Giving gifts."
"Giving a gift?" Bi Xuansheng was confused, "To whom?"
"Of course it's for the female magistrate of the county."
Bi Xuansheng opened his mouth wide and did not close it for more than a minute. Then he stammered and asked:
"Which...which...magistrate is the county magistrate you are talking about?"
"Of course she is the Liman female county magistrate of Yangshan County." Zhan Zhekun said leisurely.
