The battle to attack Laoshan Island was lackluster. There were less than twenty lake bandits left in the bandits' lair, and there was no resistance at all. When Li Hui and others attacked the north pier of the island, they put up a symbolic resistance and then
More than ten lake bandits surrendered voluntarily.
The remaining seven or eight lake bandits fled to the south side of Laoshan Island, and when they were about to escape by boat, an old fisherman on the island who was forced by the lake bandits to work as a servant took the initiative to ask for help, and personally fucked for everyone. He set up several boats to catch up. In the end,
They caught up with the lake bandit's boat several miles away from the island. Several boats did not approach, and they shot randomly with earthen bows and arrows from a distance, killing all the seven or eight lake bandits on board.
Returning to the bandit's lair, everyone started a large search. In the bandit's lair, they rescued more than a dozen women who were no longer human. They were all kidnapped and locked up in this devil's cave for the lake bandits to have fun.
They were women from good families. When they were rescued, many of them could not even stand up and were skinny and skinny.
The crowd also captured the family members of the bandit leader Feng Heizi, which were two good-looking women and Feng Heizi's three-year-old son. The two women were dressed in fancy clothes, and their eyes were seductive. Wang Guangzu couldn't take his eyes away when he saw them, and immediately ordered
They were ordered to be detained alone.
Zhou Che knew what he was thinking and reminded Wang Guangzu in a low voice: "Commander, these are the family members of the thief leader Feng Heizi. Marshal must not keep them around."
Wang Guangzu was very angry when his thoughts were exposed. But when he saw Li Hui frowning and seemed quite dissatisfied, he sneered: "Brother Zhou is right, the woman may have been forced, but Feng Heizi's evil seed cannot be retained.
Cut the weeds and remove the roots.”
After that, Wang Guangzu walked up to the child and chopped it off with a knife. The child's head was missing and he was killed on the spot. The two women were so frightened that they screamed loudly. Wang Guangzu returned the knife to its sheath, but laughed like a normal person.
stand up.
"Are you satisfied this week, brother? Hahaha. Li Xiancheng, I killed the son of the bandit leader, so there is nothing wrong with me."
Li Hui's face was ashen. Wang Guangzu's behavior had been unscrupulous and he didn't take himself seriously at all. Perhaps in his opinion, now that the lake bandits had been wiped out, he no longer had any scruples.
But his move was obviously provocative, and Li Hui certainly didn't want to fall out with him at this moment.
"Marshal Wang, what's wrong with your young son? I hope Marshal Wang can calm down and think twice before acting." Li Hui said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Is it wrong for me to kill the son of the bandit leader? Li County Cheng, you are really difficult to maintain. Brother Zhou, don't you think so?" Wang Guangzu laughed.
Zhou Che frowned and said in a deep voice: "Commander, brother, I would like to advise you to think twice before you act."
Wang Guangzu laughed coldly and said: "Haha, it turns out that Brother Zhou is not happy either. That's all, just think that I was impulsive. Otherwise, Prime Minister Li will punish me."
Li Hui suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Marshal Wang, it's getting late. We must continue to search here quickly. Their supplies and food have not been found yet."
At the end of the afternoon, everyone entered a cave halfway up the mountain. This was the place where the lake bandits had stored food and supplies. It was discovered by searchers not long ago.
The cave is very spacious, with branch caves on the left and right, which may store different materials.
Everyone first entered the main cave hall along the main cave. At first glance, everyone exclaimed. They saw grain stacks surrounded by reed mats neatly arranged in the cave.
It's full of rice. There are dozens of piles.
As soon as people came in, hundreds of huge rats were immediately alarmed. They quickly scurried up and down the grain piles and out of the gaps in the reed mats, darted away, and disappeared into the darkness of the cave.
"These sons of bitches, how much food have they hoarded? The amount of rice should cost at least a thousand kilograms." Wang Guangzu yelled, slapping his mouth.
Li Hui had seen the volume of grain at Gu's house. He made a rough estimate and said in a deep voice: "At least three thousand shi of rice. According to the ratio of 60% of the rice produced, here is 1,800 shi of brown rice."
Zhou Che murmured and cursed: "The sons of bitches have plundered so much food from the people. The rats here are so fat, but the people outside can't eat."
Li Hui sighed and nodded: "Yes. The lake bandits have been entrenched for more than five years, looting and exploiting every year. Isn't that just like this? There should be more than just these things. There should be other supplies and food in those forked caves."
The three of them looked at several branch caves next to the main cave one by one, and found a large number of dried fish and shrimps in one of the caves. The lake bandits not only exploited the people who farmed the land, but also exploited the fishermen who fished in the lake. The fish caught
They couldn't eat half of it, so they dried it into dried fish and shrimp and stored it here. This stuff is also an excellent food now.
A large amount of white flour and shelled brown rice were found in the second fork of the cave, adding up to at least two hundred stones. This made Li Hui even more happy. Under this situation, the more edible grains found
The more the better.
In another hole were some coarse linen and some sundries. They were obviously snatched from the hands of the people. These cloths are also very useful. Juchao County is now blocked, and the people's various daily supplies cannot be replenished.
, these things are treasures now.
The items stored in the last fork were even more outrageous. In addition to several large water tanks of vegetable oil, there were also seven or eight large barrels of spirits. Where did these drinks come from? It was surprising. Until I asked the prisoners
Later I realized that because there was not enough food to eat, the lake bandits set up a brewery on the island and captured the people from the brewery in Juchao County and forced them to help make wine.
Li Hui and others are really filled with hatred. The Feng Heizi gang really knows how to enjoy themselves. They run this place like a paradise. They have everything to eat, drink, and wear. If anything is missing, they will rob it. It is really damning.
.
However, now these things will become relief items for the people. They can be regarded as being taken from the people and used for the people.
The three of them returned to the big cave where the rice was stored. Li Hui cupped his hands and said: "You two, that's what I think. We need to transport all these grain supplies back to the city immediately. This time, the people and refugees in the city
We were saved. When all the materials are shipped back, we will register the people and refugees and distribute food and materials according to their capita for relief. I think that soon the people of Juchao County will be able to have enough to eat and survive this severe winter safely.
"
Zhou Che nodded excitedly and said: "That's right. Such a large amount of food supplies should be enough to help the people. If one stone of brown rice is saved, it can feed a family for a month. That is completely enough. This time
Well, the problem of the hungry people has been solved."
Li Hui smiled and said: "This is a great merit. We have done two major things in a row, and the merit is immeasurable."
Zhou Che smiled and said, "Yeah, I really didn't expect that the situation would develop to this point in just a few days. It's really unpredictable."
When Li Hui and Zhou Che were excited and happy, Wang Guangzu stood aside and looked at the two of them with a sneer. After the two finished speaking, Wang Guangzu spoke in a deep voice.
"You two have decided on your own? Don't you need to ask me what I think?"
Li Hui and Zhou Che looked at him in surprise. Li Hui said: "Isn't that what Marshal Wang thinks?"
Wang Guangzu smiled and said: "Li County Cheng, does our previous agreement still count? After it is completed, I will be the county magistrate of Juchao County."
Li Huidao: "Of course it counts, but this needs to be reported to Liyang County and reported to the imperial court for meritorious service..."
Wang Guangzu waved his hand and interrupted: "Then I don't care, that's your business. If the court doesn't allow it, I don't care. I have someone in my hands who worked hard to wipe out Feng Heizi and his gang. I should be the one to decide what happens here. The court agreed.
, then there is nothing to say. I am the county magistrate here and also your superior officer. I still have the final say on things here. I am the one who makes the decision inside and outside, isn’t that true?"
Li Hui frowned and said, "It seems to be a good idea."
Wang Guangzu nodded and said: "You know what I'm doing. In this case, things here are naturally at my discretion. All the captured food and materials are now at my disposal. If you want to be a good person and help the people, I, Wang Guangzu, will not stop you.
Seeing that you have contributed, I will give you five hundred shi of rice. Whether you use it to give porridge or distribute it to the people, I don’t care. But the rest of the supplies belong to me. Who dares?
Don't blame me for being rude if you move at all."
"What?" Zhou Che shouted in shock and said hurriedly: "Commander, how can this be done? These food supplies..."
Wang Guangzu interrupted sharply: "Brother Zhou, you and I have shared weal and woe. We have endured so many hardships and suffered so many crimes all the way from the north. We were almost strangled on the road by the people of Yan. After finally arriving in Jin Dynasty, the imperial court responded
It’s okay to be indifferent to us, but instead set restrictions everywhere and treat us as thieves. We are based in Juchao County, with no food and clothing, and we have to face the threat of Feng Heizi’s gang. If we can stand here,
It all depends on you and I working together. I, Wang Guangzu, treat you well and treat you like a brother. Why do you talk to outsiders everywhere now? Isn't it true that the friendship between us brothers who have been through hardships all the way is not as good as the sweet words of outsiders? "
Zhou Che frowned and said: "Commander, these are two different things. It is best if these grains are used to relieve the people and relieve their urgent needs. What Li Xian Cheng did is not for himself, but for the people here. If we
To gain a foothold here, we must treat the people well."
Wang Guangzu sneered and said: "This guy just wants to win people's hearts. We can't do relief work? How about borrowing his name? He has lost a lot of money. What have we gained? Brother Zhou, can't you see it?
?This kid is very thoughtful, you can't tell because of your straightforward temper. He wants to lie to me, but he can't even think about it."
Li Hui said in a deep voice: "Marshal Wang, I am definitely not trying to win people's hearts, I just want to stabilize the situation. Let's do this. If Marshal Wang feels that I am overstepping my bounds, then Marshal Wang will come forward to help the people. I will not take any of it, and all supplies and food will be provided by me.
Marshal Wang will use it to help the people. As long as Marshal Wang agrees to use these supplies and food to help the people, I, Li Hui, will not get any part of it. Marshal Wang, do you agree?"
Zhou Che nodded and said, "Commander, it's finally settled."
Wang Guangzu laughed and said: "Li Hui, you want to play tricks with me, you are still young. Do you want to provoke me to donate all the food supplies to those people? That is impossible. We finally got these food supplies, how can we
It will be wasted on those common people. Relieving the common people is a matter for the imperial court. The imperial court doesn't care about the life and death of the common people, but it wants me to take care of it. I'm not the emperor, so what the hell are you doing to me?"
