Tang Lingde, the steward of Yuehong Mansion, came over with six or seven people at this moment. He helped the girls who were beaten to pieces and whose hands and feet were tied up with ropes, thinking of taking them back.
"Uncle, what do you want to do?" Xu Huai roared angrily, stood up with a knife in hand, and looked at Tang Lingde angrily.
"..." Tang Lingde was startled, and hurriedly came over to apologize to Xu Huai, saying, "Thank you Master Xu for saving my girl from Yuehong Mansion. Thank you Yinrong for your support."
"Uncle, what are the girls from Yuehonglou?" Xu Huai spat out on the stone street and asked with a glare, "These girls were snatched by horse thieves from Yuehonglou. If no one stopped them, would they have belonged to the horse thieves?
Young master, I will snatch these girls from the horse thieves again. Do these girls belong to you, uncle? Why did they become your Yue Honglou's again? You were hiding in your mother's crotch just now and were so scared that you didn't dare to run out.
, you are here to bully me! If you want to take it, just take one and a half and leave. Only that one and a half has nothing to do with me."
"Ha..." Tang Lingde was stunned. What kind of truth is this?
He had been killed by Guo Jun of Laoyatan today and was so frightened that he did not have the courage to reason with this murderer, so he looked at Deng Gui and his brother Tang Tiande with a bitter look on his face, asking them to reason with this idiot.
.
Tang Tiande shrugged his shoulders and remained silent.
Zhongjiazhuang suffered a bloodbath. Last night, Deng Gui summoned the heads of the various clans to the military camp to discuss matters. However, each family sent kittens and puppies to deal with it. When it came to sending troops and food, no one readily agreed. Deng Gui was furious.
I have to turn over two long cases.
Judge Guo Jun of Laoyatan led a raid on the market. There were still one or two hundred people in the shops and shops along the street, but more than thirty horse thieves were allowed to run rampant. In the end, Xu Huai, a fool, stood up and killed the three thieves.
, and stopped the three thieves, who the hell has nothing to do at this time to argue with this idiot Xu Huai?
Besides, today was the Tang family's heaviest loss. Dozens of people were killed or injured. Xu Huai was able to help the Tang family recover some money from Laoyatan's wealthy people. If he wanted to stand up and say Xu Huai's fault, others would point fingers and poke at him.
Okay, but what if this idiot pulls out his sword at the slightest disagreement?
"Deng Langjun, these girls all sold themselves to Yuehonglou. They were robbed by bandits at this time. They should be considered as robbed goods," Jin Longquan pondered for a moment and said to Deng Gui, "And as for robbery, Xu Huai
After seizing these girls from the hands of bandits, Yue Honglou wants to take away these girls. They should redeem them with their own property, otherwise they have to hand over their body deeds - Mr. Deng, do you think what you said in this humble position is taken into account?"
"What Jin Dutou said is reasonable. Please ask Manager Tang to bring the deeds of these girls!" Deng Gui said to Tang Lingde with a sullen face.
Today the Tang family was caught off guard, mainly because its elite villagers escorted a batch of supplies back to Qixia Mountain where the Tang family lived together in the afternoon.
Tang Tiande also took the initiative to ask him for help at noon, saying that he would personally visit various major clans to provide help.
How could Deng Gui not guess that Tang Tiande really wanted to run away?
Deng Gui had resentment in his heart, and the military stronghold could be engulfed by the rebel army at any time. How could he care about the Tang family's face anymore?
"Lingde, are you still not following Deng Langjun's orders?" Tang Tiande hurriedly gave Tang Lingde a wink.
He knew that Deng Gui was angry in his heart. If it had been before, he expected that Deng Gui would probably endure it.
But no matter how stupid Tang Tiande is, looking at Deng Gui's appearance at this moment, it can be seen that his anger seems to be aroused by Xu Huai, a fool. How can he touch Deng Gui's bad luck at this critical moment?
Seeing Tang Lingde turn around and go to Yuehong Mansion to get the deed, Deng Gui turned around and asked Xu Huai: "Now can you tell me who asked you to send the congratulatory gift?"
"The man said that Mr. Deng would definitely ask me this, and asked me to ask Mr. Deng for a thousand dollars. He also told me that I must not write to Mr. Deng, because he said my handwriting was too ugly!"
Huai said.
"..." Deng Gui's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his sparkle showed slightly: The words are too ugly? Are they as ugly as the bloody words "Murderer Chushan Yaksha Fox"?
Was Guo Caoling killed by the idiot Xu Huai under the command of someone behind the scenes?
Who is the person behind this? He even killed the imperial officials, and yet he dared to ask this fool to come over and throw himself into a trap?
"It doesn't matter if the handwriting is ugly, but it's a pity that I can't come up with a thousand dollars, so I don't mind asking." Deng Gui spent a while and waved his hands in frustration, as if he really no longer cared about the people behind the scenes.
Seeing Deng Gui's hesitation, Jin Longquan and Tang Tiande had some vague suspicions, but they did not dare or did not want to think deeper.
To put it bluntly, the assassination of Guo Caoling had nothing to do with them. Could they be so far-fetched as to implicate the assassination case on a fool like Xu Huai because of his ugly and beautiful handwriting?
Besides, is this still the time to investigate the question of who is the assassin?
Guo Caoling died and the real culprit could not be found. Deng Gui must bear the responsibility. In the worst case, he may be cut off from his position to serve the people. But if the military stronghold cannot be defended, what Deng Gui will face is not to be cut off from his position to serve the people.
Already.
The rebels dared to brazenly massacre Zhongjiazhuang, Jinlongquan, and Tang Tiande didn't think that the rebels would let go of the stronghold at Tongbai Mountain and seize it to attack the Huaiyuan military stronghold that could really run amok in the mountains.
It is precisely for this reason that all the major clans are eager to retreat to their respective Wubao. Even if they want to send out troops and food, they have to wait until the imperial court sends an army to suppress bandits into Tongbai Mountain.
Now send your clan soldiers to march into the stronghold and fight to the death with the ruthless bandit army. A wise man will not do it.
Tang Tiande had no way to escape, but since he couldn't escape, should he persuade Deng Gui to take Xu Huai as an assassin, or should he use this idiot to defend the stronghold first?
After thinking about it, Tang Tiande became calm and agreed, "Why should we, a rude martial artist like you, have an ugly word?"
Xu Huai asked Yin Peng to drag another corpse and throw it into the carriage. He cut off a head with a knife, counted half of the reward, and threw it into the carriage.
Xu Huai ignored the screams of the three Tian Yanyan girls and grabbed them and threw them into the carriage. These were undoubtedly his trophies, and there was nothing to be polite about.
The people watching were so excited that they forgot the fear and bloodshed just now.
Of the three remaining girls, Xu Huai picked a young and beautiful one and said to Yin Peng: "If you go to the stronghold with me to kill thieves, this one will be your mother-in-law. Tian Yanyan, don't think about it. Xu Xin'an used to say
Save money to get a beautiful wife, and when he comes back, Tian Yanyan will have to be left to him! Look at this big ass, it can give birth!"
"..." Yin Peng looked at the girl in Xu Huai's hand. She was really pretty. He swallowed, but was too embarrassed to accept it directly. He said, "I will follow you to the stronghold. Mother-in-law will say otherwise."
"Okay, if we can earn more beautiful ones in the future, let you choose first," Xu Huai turned to look at the remaining two girls and said awkwardly, "What should I do with the remaining half? Do I want to split it?
"
"Woo!" The two women, with rags stuffed in their mouths, were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they cried out, really afraid that this fool would cut one of them in half with a knife.
"It's too bloody to split it in half. You pick one and give the extra part to someone else." Jin Longquan said hurriedly, fearing that Xu Huai, a fool, would really cut the waiter in Yuehonglou in half in the street.
.
"..." Many scoundrels came around and booed, "It's more cost-effective to split it in half!"
"..." Xu Huai counted on his fingers for a long time, agreed and then asked Yin Peng hesitantly, "According to Jin Du, we didn't suffer a loss, did we?"
"It's not a loss!" These thieves in Laoyatan are also discerning. They robbed six girls from Yuehong Mansion. How could they be wrong? If any one of them wanted to redeem them, how could they do it if they were short of four to five hundred dollars.
While waiting for Tang Lingde to bring the girls' deeds, Jin Longquan skillfully approached the stewards of the shops along the street and collected the rewards for killing the six thieves today.
Of course, this reward cannot be paid by the inspection department. Whether the state or county will give a reward is irrelevant, but the shops and courtyards on the main street are the property of various clans. If anyone dares to deny this money, what will happen to him in the future?
, just don’t expect Junzhai to take action.
However, this has long been a rule. Each family has three or five guan, and soon more than 100 guan reward money is collected.
After Xu Huai received more than 70 yuan in reward money, he threw the corpses out of the carriage on the street and said to Jin Longquan: "Jindutou is the most convenient. If only you had known that I would come to you to ask for reward, why would there be any trouble?"
"
"It's easy to talk about." Jin Longquan laughed.
He turned a blind eye to the corpse thrown out by Xu Huaiduo. Who knows whether this corpse will be involved in the Guo Caoling assassination case. Now one more thing is far better than one less thing.
After throwing all the bodies down, the five girls crowded in the carriage stopped screaming, but two of them had already passed out.
…………
…………
Xu Huai walked and walked to the front of the small courtyard, while Yin Peng led the horse-drawn carriage and walked behind.
Xu Huai pushed open the courtyard door, and Wang Zhen was standing in front of the porch with frowning eyebrows, looking at the distant mountains, his old and thin face filled with sadness.
Lu Xiong was walking out of the wing at this time. When he saw Xu Huai, he asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"Why, Mr. Lu didn't want me to come over at all?" Xu Huai asked with a smile.
"The Yuhuang Ridge is well prepared and may be able to support the imperial army until the imperial army attacks. Why are you here?" Wang Zhen asked, shaking his head in confusion.
"I bet Zheng Hui can't defeat this military stronghold." Xu Huai said with a faint smile.
Lu Xiong walked outside the courtyard gate and saw Yin Peng, who was wearing patchwork clothes, pulling a horse-drawn carriage and standing in the alley. No one else was seen. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Just the two of you, what use are you really doing? You go quickly.
This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Listening to Mr. Lu's past tone, he has always respected Wang Xiaocheng, so I thought, can Wang Xiaocheng be effective here alone?" Xu Huai asked.
"If Wang Xiaocheng were still alive, Zheng Hui wouldn't have dared to lead his bandits to fight, or even stir up trouble in Tongbai Mountain - you might be able to match Wang Xiaocheng ten years later, but now you are
If it doesn’t work, don’t waste your life.” Lu Xiong said.
"Master Lu is really boring. How dare he conclude that I am not as good as Wang Xiaocheng?" Xu Huai shook his head and smiled, and said to Wang Zhen, "I decided to learn from Mr. Wang today. I want to understand that 'living in a temple is a source of worry.'"
His people, far away from the rivers and lakes, are worried about their king's reputation. Mr. Wang, you should have no reason to drive me away, right?"
Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head at Lu Xiong. Xu Huai was able to assassinate Guo Caoling. How could he be shaken by others' persuasion if his determination was firm?
At this time, he looked over to see Yin Peng pulling the carriage to the courtyard gate. Wang Zhen asked curiously: "Who is this little brother?"
"Yin Peng is Uncle Wu Liang's apprentice in Willow Lane. He promised to follow me into the stronghold as long as I help him find a wife." Xu Huai said.
"I didn't say that..." Yin Peng could still guess who the two people in the small courtyard were. They stood there with their hands and feet shrinking, not knowing how to move their hands and feet.
"Xu Huai, I knew you would come over. Grandpa, Master Lu still said that I was thinking wildly!" Wang Xuan heard Xu Huai's voice early. She wore a small shirt in the room when it was hot. It was so hot now.
Wearing a t-shirt, he jumped out of the room, only to see Xu Huai covered in blood again. He was surprised and asked, "Why is there blood on your body again? Who did you kill again?"
"A horse thief broke into the market and went on a rampage. I killed three people and stopped three people. In exchange for the reward, Miss Xuan can use it to buy some makeup and beautiful dresses..." Xu Huai opened the curtain of the carriage and pulled it out.
The corner of the carriage was loaded with broken silver, and the baggage of copper coins was lifted off and thrown into the yard.
"Who are they?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise when she saw five girls with pale faces in the carriage.
"The horse thieves broke into Yuehong Mansion and snatched the women. I killed the horse thieves, and of course they were my seizures - I thought about how long I would have to live in the military camp this time. There would always be someone to help with laundry and cooking, but I couldn't.
If you'd like to trouble Miss Xuan, I brought them to the military camp! If Miss Xuan wants to send them anything, you're welcome."
"..." Because of Xu Huai's unexpected behavior, Wang Xuan also half-opened her mouth and was speechless for a while.
Wang Zhen, but Lu Xiong could think of the purpose of Xu Huai's nonsense. He just smiled and shook his head slightly, as if he was no longer worried about the bandit army attacking the stronghold in the future...
