After the four of them returned to the village, they sat in the Juyi Hall, drinking wine and eating vegetables.
The wine he drank was naturally the hero wine brewed by Nie Chen.
Nie Chen is a master master. Just make things and teach others the skills, and people will naturally do the work. In the past two days, the iron smelting room has been building crossbow arrows and wine refining furnaces, striving to make the wine furnace first and mass-produce it. After the hero got drunk, he quickly took them to the barbarians to sell them in exchange for beef tendons, cowhide, horses and other items.
The bandits were also heavy drinkers, clamoring to drink all day long, so Nie Chen limited them to one drink per day.
Looking at the sighing bandits outside, Nie Chen smiled and said,
"The first batch of repeating crossbows will be made tomorrow, and then the villagers will also be recruited, and all these people will be free to train.
In the future training, those who complete the task will have to drink, and those who fail to complete the overtime training cannot provide everything. Only when rewards and punishments are clear will they be motivated. "
"That makes sense."
At this moment, the thin monkey outside the door ran in quickly and said with a smile,
"First boss, second boss, guess who I caught!"
"Who is it? It makes you so happy!"
The boss smiled.
"Bring it up!"
Soon, five or six bandits came in, escorting a tied-up man.
"Hey, isn't this the boss of Ma Niu Huai?"
The boss was happy when he saw it.
Nie Chen looked carefully and saw that the man had a bruised nose and swollen face, and there was blood on his body. If he looked carefully, he saw that he was the horse and cow that had been massacred in the enemy's formation today.
"Master, when we came back from work, more than a hundred people were walking. We happened to see Ma Niubi and a few people passing by our mountain. They were tied up and brought to you directly.
This guy is so strong, it took ten of us to hold him down. "
Ma Niubi snorted coldly and said angrily,
"Hmph, if I hadn't fought a bloody battle with two thousand officers and soldiers today and cut off all my swords, you little thieves wouldn't be my opponent even if there were dozens of them!"
The boss smiled and said,
"Five hundred people are said to be two thousand people. You have fallen into our hands, and you are still talking tough."
"Humph, I'm a man named Weng. I'm just a tiger who fell down in Pingyang and was bullied by a dog. In the past, I would have beaten you ten Qingfeng Villages in Niuhui Mountain.
A bunch of cowards, what the hell! Today I have fallen into your hands. You can kill or chop me into pieces as you please. If I frown, then I am not a leader! "
Hearing this, the headmaster snorted coldly, stood up and pointed at the horse and cow bill and cursed,
"You bastard, I haven't settled the accounts with you for killing my copycat brother last year, and now you dare to talk nonsense here. Come on, drag him down and chop him down!"
"yes!"
"Wait!"
Nie Chen stood up, waved away the thin monkey, and then said,
"Go and untie those Niu Kuishan brothers who were tied up by you, and entertain them with good wine and meat."
The thin monkey looked at the master in embarrassment.
Nie Chen blinked at the head master. The head master immediately understood what he was thinking and knew that Nie Chen was about to cause trouble again, so he nodded dissatisfiedly with a sullen face.
Nie Chen personally untied the rope from the horse and cow bill and said,
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ma. Come and sit down to eat and drink. Look at this injury. Those dog officers and soldiers are nothing."
Ma Niubai moved his wrist, frowned and glared at Nie Chen, and asked,
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I've always admired you, Master Ma. I know that you are a well-known hero. I have always wanted to pay you a visit, but I have no chance.
We finally met today. I want to treat Mr. Ma to a glass of water and wine, and I also hope that Mr. Ma will show his respect. "
Ma Niubai looked at Nie Chen, then at the head master, and snorted coldly,
"Hmph, you two, one is a good guy and the other is a bad guy, don't you just want me to stay as a dog for you?
Let me tell you, a man was born in heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time? I can't serve anyone. If you want to kill me, do it as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for grabbing the sword and killing me! "
"Master Ma has misunderstood. I just want to treat you to a drink and a drink. I have no intention of recruiting you. You can rest in the village for one night, and you can take your brother and leave on your own tomorrow.
Don't worry and drink. If I want to harm you, why should I untie you and treat you to a drink? "
Ma Niubai thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, so he held his hands towards the headmaster and Nie Chen, and then sat down.
Da Zhuang went to get a wine bowl and poured wine into the horse and cow bill.
The horses and cows fought fiercely for a day and ran all the way. They were already thirsty and hungry, so they picked up the wine bowl and took a big drink.
"What kind of wine is this? It's strong and fragrant!"
Ma Niubi opened his eyes wide and said in surprise.
"This is a hero's wine, specially brewed for heroes like the Ma Dang family."
"Oh, little brother, you deserve the prize, hahaha, I still don't know who the little brother's name is."
After a glass of wine, Ma Niu was completely relieved.
"I, Wu Yanzu, am the second head of Qingfeng Village."
"It turns out to be Brother Wu, whose name I have admired for a long time."
Weng Qiuchan on the side almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
This name was made up by Nie Chen two days ago, and I couldn't help but look up at him for a long time.
"Master Ma, why don't you tell us how you ended up in this situation?"
Speaking of this matter, Ma Niubi became very angry.
"These idiotic officers and soldiers, I don't know what's going on, they suddenly came to attack me Niu Kui Shan..."
At that moment, he told everyone everything that happened today.
After hearing this, the boss slammed the table.
"This dog magistrate is so deceptive. Brother Ma just robbed a few merchants and sent troops to attack. He really didn't leave any way for us bandits to survive."
Nie Chen smiled slightly and said,
"Maybe there are things belonging to the county magistrate among the goods that Brother Ma robbed."
The trouble was diverted to the east, and Nie Chen successfully led the cause of the incident to Ma Niubai himself.
Ma Niubai's eyes lit up when he heard this and said,
"The Weng family also hates the county magistrate? Great, let's go to the county town together and chop off the magistrate's head."
"Brother Ma, don't worry. The county wall is so tall that it can't be easily defeated. We can't defeat it even if we want to."
Ma Niubai sighed regretfully, and Nie Chen changed the topic and said,
"But seeing a hero like Brother Ma in such a predicament, I really feel sorry for him, so I can only find other ways to help Brother Ma.
Let's do this, tomorrow morning in Qingfeng Village, we will give Brother Ma a thousand taels of silver and two carts of grain, and Brother Ma will recruit more troops and horses to rebuild the Niubaishan Village. "
Ma Niubi's eyes widened immediately and he asked,
"Real or false? Well...how is the interest calculated?"
Nie Chen looked unhappy and said,
"What is Brother Ma talking about? What interest are we talking about between brothers? If Brother Ma has some spare money in the future, he can just pay it back in full."
Nie Chen's words moved Ma Niubi to tears of gratitude.
"Brother Wu, you are quite a nice person!"
