Under Zhang Rui's roar, Du Mu came to Zhang Rui's side before he had half a cup of tea.
At this time, Zhang Rui was in the outer hall soaking steamed buns in water and feeding the woman bit by bit. The other women were holding the steamed buns with both hands and eating them happily.
When Zhang Rui saw Du Mu's arrival, he just glanced at him and continued his work. Then he said coldly
"How is this going?"
When Du Mu looked at these women, he didn't understand why. He just didn't expect that Zhang Rui would be so angry for these women. Although I can't bear it, more of it is just sympathy.
"This is a woman captured by several other masters at the foot of the mountain. After playing with it a few times, they threw it into the dungeon to kill other bandits for fun."
"Fun? Others? All the bandits?"
"It's mainly old bandits. New bandits who enter the mountain need permission and rewards before they can play. So I don't know how many people have played." Du Mu told everything he knew.
"Have you ever played?" Zhang Rui's voice was calm, and there was no emotion that could be heard.
"Sixth brother, you know that my thoughts are all about my dead wife. I will never do anything to regret her before I get revenge." Du Mu heard Zhang Rui's words and quickly defended.
"Very good, has Liu Muchiu touched them?" Zhang Rui still said a very calm voice, without any ripples of emotion, but this voice made Du Mu feel chilled from the bottom of his heart.
"As far as I know, the third head of the family...well, Liu Musiu has a wife in the inner courtyard. He and his wife have always had a good relationship, and he probably hasn't touched them." Du Mu continued to talk about what he knew.
"I know, come with me!"
As he said this, Zhang Rui got up and saw that he had also finished feeding the steamed buns in his hand. The woman he was feeding opened her eyes and glanced at him. Then he continued to shut up weakly.
Zhang Rui ordered Li Sigou beside him to try not to disturb their rest. From now on, give them more hot water and no more food. At the same time, we have to find some clean clothes, and go to the inner courtyard to bring Liu Muchiu's wife and female family members over to help them change into them.
After the explanation, Zhang Rui took Du Mu to Juyi Hall with a cold face.
Along the way, the two of them didn't say a word. Although someone greeted Zhang Rui on the road, Zhang Rui rarely responded until he arrived at the Juyi Hall.
In Juyi Hall. Although the bandits had their hands tied with cloth strips, they watched Liu Muchiu walking around and squatted there peacefully chatting. Some people actually laughed happily when they got excited about the conversation, without worrying about their own safety at all.
"Brother Six..."
…
The bandit suppression team and others in the Juyi Hall greeted Zhang Rui one after another when they saw him arriving.
Zhang Rui looked cold and didn't respond to them. So, some of the bandits who defected asked Du Mu, who was following Zhang Rui, what was going on. Du Mu then told them what he saw.
Liu Shitou and others also didn't understand why Zhang Rui went there with Li Sigou and then came back like this. So I couldn't help but ask again
"Brother Six, what's wrong?"
Zhang Rui looked at the group of bandits coldly and said to Liu Shitou and others: "Gather the brothers and kill them all. Tell the brothers that they are not allowed to die before everyone has been chopped down."
Zhang Rui's words made the bandits who were still squatting there laughing suddenly unable to react. Lin Chengzi and others quickly shouted:
"Zhang Liu, you can't break your promise. You said you could let us people go."
Liu Muxiu, who was walking back and forth there, saw this scene and hurriedly went over to Zhang Rui and said, "Brother Six, it was not agreed. As long as they surrender, you will let them go."
"Did I say that we must let these people go? And they are not even human beings. They can only be said to be beasts. I will show no mercy to beasts." Zhang Rui just looked at them with a cold expression on his face. said
After listening to Zhang Rui's words, the bandits immediately became uneasy! Begging for mercy. Furious rants. Zhang Ruidu ignored this and asked Liu Shitou and others to take them all out for execution. At the same time, the bandits who had defected were also allowed to follow the execution. If there were any who dared not to follow the execution, they would not be spared.
When Liu Shitou and others forced the bandits to leave, Liu Muchiu wanted to stop them. But after taking only two steps, a steel knife was placed at his neck.
The cold feeling on his neck made him stop, and he looked back. I saw Zhang Rui holding a steel knife in his hand and saying coldly to him: "Follow me or die?"
Liu Muchiu looked at this look. He had no doubt that as long as he dared to raise any objection, Zhang Rui's knife would be dragged down on his neck without hesitation. So, Liu Muchiu struggled to say a few words: "I'm with you."
"Very good, but I hope you understand that as long as you dare to betray me, I will make your life worse than death. I will do what I say." Liu Muchiu's answer made Zhang Rui feel a little better, but Zhang Rui also warned when he retracted the knife. Got him.
"Yes, yes, I will never dare to betray Brother Six." Liu Muxiu saluted quickly and said
"You are a smart man, just understand."
At this time, there were only two people standing there in Juyi Hall.
"Tell me, how much money and food is left here?" Zhang Rui asked directly and simply
"The leaders of Zhilian Mountain... well, the bandit leaders will divide the money they snatched back that night. That is, everyone will take what they have and keep it for themselves, leaving only a small amount of money for backup in the village." Liu Muxiu continued. Zhang Rui said
"This money is mostly used to buy wine, meat, weapons, medicinal materials and other expenses. Now the entire village only has 6,000 taels of silver. The rice and grain are earned by the bandit leaders who take people to various villages to collect grain. There is still rice in the village. Thirty stones, two stones of yellow millet, three stones of soybeans. There are twenty sheep, thirty-two chickens, eighteen ducks, twelve cows, and twenty-one pigs..."
"How many weapons are there? What are they?" Zhang Rui then asked
There are still dozens of gangsters, and Zhang Rui cannot consider the issues of safety and combat effectiveness. From the current point of view, the cost of money is not very high. After all, in a remote and remote place, as long as you can eat and drink enough, it is good. Even if I give you money, there will be nowhere to spend it.
"Because there have been more people going up the mountain recently, a lot of weapons have been distributed. There are currently twenty steel knives, fifty shields, ten bows, fifteen bundles of arrows, and one bundle in the weapons room. Twenty. This is what the boss...well...Zhou Tongtie is planning to build an archery team for purchase." Liu Muxiu said eloquently.
"Where did you buy so many bows and arrows?" Zhang Rui asked with some confusion.
"These are purchased from the quartermaster of the Green Camp, as well as from some Green Camp commanders, Commander Qian, and others." Liu Muxiu explained.
"Did you buy them all?"
"Yes, in most cases it is my... subordinates who purchase it."
"Are these the only weapons left in the weapons room?" Zhang Rui asked again
"No, fifty steel knives will be delivered in three days." Liu Musiu said without any concealment.
"Very good. Next time, take me to meet those who sell weapons."
"Okay, leader." Liu Musiu returned humbly.
