"He can't hear, and he 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, the bolts and the door bars are all added up. 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 more clear-minded. I brought hundreds of brothers up the mountain..."
Zhan Zhekun was too lazy to talk to him. He turned his head and asked, "Have you let out the cigarette?"
"If you tell me back to the master, let it go! President Jietuan has already received a message back."
"Take him down!" Zhan Zhekun ordered, "The binding is strong!"
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 the three village gates were also in his hands. He still had a lot of power. However, after a while, he heard shouts of killing and exclamations from outside. , screams, begging for mercy and the clash of swords were mixed together, one after another. After a few more back and forths, the fighting outside gradually subsided. Feng Haijiao's expression also changed from cheerful to depressed. However, he heard the sounds outside gradually subsided, and someone came in and said something in Zhan Zhekun's ear. The cunning master's brows instantly widened, and he couldn't help but lament in his heart: "It's over!" He felt exhausted. .
Zhan Zhekun opened the palace door and saw a mess of blood and flesh outside. Stretching from the entrance of the temple to the outside of the temple, there were three or four corpses scattered everywhere, and more than a dozen prisoners were kneeling aside, looking miserable. An unpleasant stench filled the battlefield. Zhan Zhekun smiled slightly, asked Dong Zheng for his opinion on how to command the minions to clean 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 are not in such an urgent need to solve the problem on the spot, the cramps in their abdomens also make it difficult for them to exert their due fighting power. Not to mention that Xie Weidong's team was more than twice as large as them. They surged out from behind the temple and instantly defeated the stomach-acheing minions.
"Where are the various village gates?"
"The main entrance has been captured and all of them have been killed." Jiewendong said, "The minions below still don't know what happened..."
Zhan Zhekun asked: "Did you get all Feng Haijiao's command arrows?"
"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!"
The one hundred men led by Mo Chongtong rested for half an hour before slowly climbing the mountain. Just after passing the Erdaozhai Gate, everyone had stomach cramps and complained incessantly. Mo Chong took this opportunity to rest at the second gate. Until he saw the smoke rising from the top of the mountain and knew that the mountain had been succeeded, he was secretly happy - he had been instigated by Bi Xuansheng for a long time.
Then he urged the team to climb the mountain as planned. Arriving at the main gate, people and horses had already been arranged inside, and they were surrounded as soon as they entered the village gate. Most of these people had recently joined Feng Haijiao and had not received any benefits from him. In addition, they had stomach cramps. After Mo Chong comforted them for a while, they all surrendered. It's just that the stomachache is so unbearable that I can't help but resort to it on the spot, causing the stench to rise to the sky. Fortunately, there were preparations at the village. They cooked a medicinal soup that would warm the stomach and cool the stomach, and gave Jiangren to drink it one by one. Only then did the abdominal pain and diarrhea gradually stop.
Although his stomach no longer hurts, he is sitting on the ground unarmed and being held at knifepoint, with corpses and heads on the ground. All the minions are terrified, fearing that their lives may not be saved.
Zhan Zhekun now 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 great favor. He did not think about repaying the divine grace and benefiting the people. He acted in the opposite direction, colluded with the thieves, disturbed the people and harmed the hometown! Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Lord 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 frightened, fearing that they too would become "rebellious parties".
"...However, Mr. Xiong has a good life and will punish the first culprit. As long as the person who threatens to obey has repented, he can be spared and not asked. Not only will he not be asked, but he 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 scanned the audience with his eyes, "Who is willing to serve the imperial court and eliminate the remaining members of Feng Haijiao?"
"I am willing!" Mo Chong was the first to stand up. He knew that this was a good opportunity to receive the investment certificate. Although he would inevitably have to fight with his former brothers, compared with the large silver reward Bi Xuansheng promised him and Aunt Feng Haijiao, it was worth the risk. What's more, they use more to defeat less, and use high to defeat low. Not to mention that they can catch them easily, and there is not much risk.
"Okay, Brother Mo, let's abandon the darkness and turn to the light. It's a pleasure!" 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 it would depend on whether his routine was deep or not. Immediately, he drank the wine in the cup, picked up the sword and gun, turned around and said to the gangsters: "Who is willing to follow me to fight those idiots?!"
Because Feng Haijiao's troops were expanding rapidly, and he himself had no military talent, 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". Each of these minions had red eyes, and they all stood up and said they were willing to fight. At that moment, the team led by Jie Wendong and Mo Chong rushed down the mountain with more than a hundred people.
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. The minions at the next level were unprepared and were successfully attacked by Mo Chong. The defenders at the second gate were instantly wiped out. These "new brothers" usually have serious conflicts with the "old brothers". They kill at the sight of blood and rush down the mountain road without prompting. Effortlessly, all of Feng Haijiao's men at Daximen were slaughtered.
A group of people from Jiewendong rushed down the mountain and met Bi Xuansheng at the foot of the mountain with his family members, property and fellow citizens. These bandits had already become red-eyed and rushed in, killing and raping. Even Jie Wendong couldn't stop drinking. Bi Xuansheng was almost killed in the chaos. Fortunately, Zhan Zhekun was prepared and led his troops to follow, and then gathered the troops. However, outside the Great West Gate has long been transformed into a Shura field.
Although there were heavy casualties, most of those killed in this melee were Feng Haijiao's people, and as for the civilian husbands who were killed, they were even more dispensable. Feng Haijiao's many years of savings and his family were all taken away. In addition to the troops recruited from Feng's tribe, the ships and grain captured in Hu Wan. Yang Juren made a substantial fortune.
"Take down 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 are their heads."
"The surrendered minions and 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."
"The captured family members, and all the 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 in an orderly manner, 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 problem?" Bi Xuansheng asked. He 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 incomparable. His mind was filled with fantasies about serving the imperial court and saving Lianyang San from the fire and water. Zhan Zhekun left it to him, naturally taking a fancy to his excited mental state.
"Go to Yangshan County for a trip."
At this time, no matter how excited Bi Xuansheng was, it was like having a basin of ice water poured on his head. Yangshan County is under the rule of the Kun thief, and he is Feng Haijiao's master. If he goes to the county, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap? ! What's more, the new female magistrate of Yangshan County is violent and murderous. Since she took office, she has killed not only 500 but also 500 bandits and their family members.
Thinking of the rumor that a group of people in Sun Dabiao's gang were captured and tortured to death, Bi Xuansheng felt cold air rising from his feet, and his body began to tremble involuntarily. Could it be that Master Zhan wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and get rid of himself 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 found out.”
"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.
