Chapter 113 The Monk and the Scholar

After Wu Shigong wiped the blood on his body, he walked out of the tea shed and returned to the cavalry. At this time, Xue Yong leaned next to Wu Shigong and said excitedly: "Uncle, we are rich."

Wu Shigong asked some cavalrymen to look at the mobs kneeling on the ground, and then followed Xue Yong and others to the place where Master Mou was trampled to death.

Next to the group of tents where Master Mou and the leaders of the Holy Spirit Society live, there are many large carts and wheelbarrows placed densely. These vehicles are filled with various supplies.

"Have you seen what's in the car?" Seeing this, Wu Shigong asked excitedly.

"It's all grain. There are also copper coins, cloth and salt. We made a rough estimate and found that there were more than 600 carts, and the mules and horses pulling the carts were all complete. There were more than 3,000 wheelbarrows. However,

, more than 500 wheelbarrows are empty. In addition, there are some pens for pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks over there." Xue Yong also replied with a smile.

Wu Shigong immediately ordered: "Hurry up and organize these surrendered rebels and let them transport these vehicles and rush back to Qianhusuo Fortress. You must move quickly, otherwise the other gray grandsons will not come to fight.

, I won’t be lenient in grabbing these things.”

Wu Shigong then ordered: "Ask those rioters to clean up nearby, load all the weapons and farm tools scattered on the ground into empty wheelbarrows and pull them back. Remember, don't even leave an iron pot behind, no scraps of copper or iron."

All of them are needed. This iron material is also worth a lot of money."

This time Wu Shigong went to Jining to buy iron materials. Only then did he realize that in the Ming Dynasty, the price of iron materials was as high as in the sky or on the ground compared with modern times. He did not know that in the Ming Dynasty, iron was sold exclusively like salt.

.This was also a major financial income for the Ming Dynasty court, so how could it not be expensive?

Xue Yong hurriedly agreed and hurriedly went with a group of cavalry to organize the rebels. At this time, Xue Yongli on the side asked Wu Shigong: "Uncle, I just took a careful look at the surrendered rebels. Although there are many in number, but

, most of them are women and children, not many are young and strong."

In the massacre carried out by Wu Shigong and others, those young men, of course, relied on their physical strength and either escaped or swam to the other side of the river bank. Those who remained and surrendered were basically the old, weak, sick and disabled.

Wu Shigong gritted his teeth and said to Xue Yongli: "I can't control that much. If one can't do it, just two or three. Even if it's towing, let them drag these vehicles back to Qianhusuo Fortress. When you are escorting them, don't do it."

Afraid of cruelty. If anyone procrastinates, kill him. Human life is worthless these days."

Xue Yongli nodded and agreed. Suddenly, he thought of another thing, and immediately asked Wu Shigong: "What will we do with these people after we return to Qianhusuo Fortress?"

"Drive them away. We can't feed so many people. Anyway, these people are scared out of their wits now. They won't be able to make any waves after they leave."

Xue Yong had already joined the cavalry in organizing the mob to drive away carts and push-pull wheelbarrows. Xue Yongli also went over to help. Wu Shigong took more than a dozen people to the tents of Master Mou. He first stayed in a tent

I found a piece of clothing and put it on my body, and then rummaged around with the guards to see what they could find.

Surprisingly, the harvest in this tent was also quite large. A total of nearly 5,000 taels of silver and dozens of pieces of silk and satin were found. In Master Mou’s tent, more than 60 pieces were also found.

Five taels of gold ingots and four boxes of gold and silver jewelry. However, some of the gold and silver jewelry still had blood stains on them, and their origins were clear at a glance.

Wu Shigong and these guards also found seven or eight small golden Buddhas, which should be religious idols of the Holy Spirit Society. In addition, in the tent of Master Mou, they also found an imperial seal of the "Great Song Dynasty" and an unknown item.

I know which troupe I got the dragon robe from.

When Wu Shigong entered Master Mou's tent, the daughter of a wealthy family was still naked and hiding under the quilt. She was lucky. Wu Shigong ignored her and threw her a piece of clothing and asked her to put it on and go to the tent.

Wait outside.

Outside the tent, there were more than a dozen carriages in which Master Mou and other leaders were riding. After the woman got dressed, she got into a carriage and hid.

After sorting out the harvested things in the tent, Wu Shigong went outside and told Xue Yong and the others to take away the silver, silk and jewelry. He planned to treat the other things as trophies and hand them over to the governor of Guide Mansion.

.

At this time, two people ran over from a distance to the east. Because all the chaos on this side had escaped completely, these two people stood out particularly.

The cavalry on guard immediately sounded the alarm. After hearing the alarm, some cavalry surrounded them. After a while, these cavalry brought the two men to Wu Shigong.

The two of them are not very old. One of them is wearing short clothes and is quite normal. He has a sword tied around his waist. The other person has a shaved head, wearing a monk's robe and a sword tied around his waist.

With a waist knife, he is clearly a young monk.

Wu Shigong and others had just wiped out the rebels of the Holy Spirit Society, and were very sensitive to monks, so they all held weapons and focused their attention on this young monk.

"Who are you?" Wu Shigong was also very vigilant, holding a samurai sword tightly in his hand, staring at the little monk and asked.

The young monk clasped his hands together, saluted Wu Shigong, and said, "Amitabha, this young monk is smart to be polite to the general."

"Smart? What a weird name. It's also IPDA." Wu Shigong cursed in his heart.

"Tell me! What are you doing here?" Wu Shigong asked sharply.

"The young monk was sent by Master Fu to investigate the situation here."

"Are you really sent by the Lord of the Palace?" Wu Shigong had doubts in his mind. The Lord of the Guide Palace sent people here to investigate the situation, which is normal. However, he has so many government servants and soldiers.

You can send one, but why send a monk?

But before the young monk could answer, the man next to him hurriedly explained: "Yes, yes. We were sent by Master Fu Zun."

The man was wearing short clothes, but Wu Shigong could tell from his words that he was not a commoner. Wu Shigong frowned even more. He turned to the man in short clothes and asked, "Are you a scholar?"

The man nodded, bowed his hands and bowed, and said, "Student Deng Qifan has paid homage to the general."

Deng Qifan's gesture confirmed Wu Shigong's judgment. Because the hand-bowing ceremony in the Ming Dynasty was also different. There is a difference between the scholar's cupping of hands and the cupping of hands by ordinary people. Seeing that Deng Qifan's cupping of hands was very natural, it shows that

This is how he usually salutes with his hands raised. This also confirms that he is a scholar.

Now Wu Shigong is extremely suspicious. Who should the governor of Guide Mansion send? Should he send a monk and a scholar to his place to investigate the situation?

Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the worst. These two people are the remnants of the Holy Spirit Society. Anyway, let’s arrest them both first. Wu Shigong raised the samurai sword in his hand and ordered: “Tie them both up.

stand up."

Seeing Wu Shigong giving the order, the guards around him also raised their weapons and pressed towards the two men.

"Don't do it!", "Don't misunderstand!" Seeing that the situation was not good, these two people quickly explained: "We are really sent by Lord Fu Zun."

"Oh? Do you have any tokens?" Wu Shigong asked.

The two of them looked embarrassed by Wu Shigong's question. They really didn't have any tokens around them.

It turned out that just now Guide City heard a noise from the rebel camp under the city wall. The people in Guide City thought that the rebels were about to attack the city. However, when they prepared cautiously, they were surprised to find that the entire

The rebel camp was blown up. The rebels were running around like headless flies. Without much effort, the city walls of Guide Mansion became empty.

At this time, everyone in Guide Mansion was a little confused. They thought that gods had appeared. When they reported to Hou Xun and the governor of Guide Mansion, they were also a little confused. Because,

They counted the days and realized that even if the governor of Henan sent reinforcements, there would be absolutely no way they could reach Guide City in such a short time.

So, everyone went to the city wall of Guide Mansion to observe the situation and discuss it. However, after studying for a long time, they could not figure out a reason. In the end, they were still ready to send some spies to explore the situation.

But when Hou Xun and the governor of Guide Mansion issued the order, all the soldiers and government officials refused to go. People at that time were very superstitious. If there were still mobs gathering outside the city, they might be rewarded heavily.

There will also be a few brave men popping up. But in such a weird situation now, there shouldn't be any monsters outside the city.

Seeing that all the soldiers and government officials refused to go, they were furious. Hou Xun and the governor of Guide Mansion were ready to lend some heads to embolden others. Seeing this situation, the smart little monk and scholar Deng Qifan

So he volunteered.

Zhi Zhi and Deng Qifan came to Guide Mansion to visit the governor and Hou Xun of Guide Mansion. It happened that the Holy Spirit Society rebelled against the city of Guide Mansion, so the two of them were trapped in the city.

However, both of them are young, somewhat energetic, and have some ideas of chivalry and saving the country and the people. Moreover, they both know some kung fu. Of course, Zhi knows some real kung fu, and Deng Qifan is definitely a showman.

Therefore, the two of them took the initiative to ask for help.

Seeing Zhi Zhi and Deng Qifan volunteering for military service, Hou Xun and the governor of Guide Mansion, after a few words of false persuasion, saw that both of them were very determined, so they used ropes to send them to the city wall.

Down.

In this way, they came across Wu Shigong. However, before they set off, they did not expect that someone would ask them to show any tokens, so they were not prepared at all. So they had this misunderstanding with Wu Shigong.
