Slowly straightening up, Guan Shen looked at the sunset on the horizon and was in a daze.
Liu Ye came up and whispered: "Gui Zheng, the village in front is Zhizhou's hometown. Do we really want to make a vote here?"
Guan Shen nodded: "That's right. Zhi Niang, since she followed Yu Huan and became Zhizhou's subordinate, she really hasn't lived a happy life. I grabbed some gold and silver in the past two days, and I originally wanted to fly away and live happily for a few days. I don't want to Tiao Zhizhou is ruthless and has blocked all nearby roads. Just kill him inside his home! Grab some money, it's not a big deal, let him transfer people to guard the house, so we can get out of Ruzhou."
Liu Ye repeatedly said yes. He said: "Team Commander, we killed someone. Even if we go to another state, no one will ask?"
"Who asked?" Guan Shen said with a sneer. "If we are lucky, we will also recruit some people, occupy a state and county, and serve as officials in the same way! Don't forget, a year ago, the governor of the state was the same as we are now. It's just that there are more people!"
Liu Ye nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "That's what Captain Zheng said! Isn't this the case in these days? As long as you have the courage to kill people and steal gold and silver treasures, there will definitely be people following you. With people, nothing can be done ?”
Guan Shen stood up and stretched. Watching the sun slowly setting behind the mountain, he said: "When the sun sets, we will go to the village. There is no moon now, so we will go straight to Zhizhou's house and grab a good deal!"
Liu Ye geared up: "I heard people say that Zhizhou was originally a big family in the village, and his family had a lot of people. But after returning to Ruzhou, Zhizhou didn't know what medicine he took. He sold his land and sent all the villagers home. Just in time for us to start!”
Guan Shen nodded. Looking at the sunset on the horizon, I just sneered.
Wang Qingxiu called for dinner and saw that it was getting dark, so she lit a candle. I took out a book from the bookcase and sat at the table to read. When his younger brother became the magistrate of the state, Wang Qingxiu was not allowed to do many menial tasks, so he read some leisure books.
The night slowly spreads. The autumn wind is rustling outside, and a candlelight, accompanied by the figure beside the table,
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside: "Who is it? They are sneaking around here! Sign up quickly!"
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a knife being unsheathed was heard. Then there was a ping-pong sound and someone screamed. A few torches were lit outside, and there was a buzz of people.
Wang Qingxiu was surprised. Put down the book and hurried out the door. Just as he walked into the yard, a man came in from outside the door and saluted: "Some thieves are coming to the village, and Lin Yue is leading people to resist them. Madam, it's better to go back to the house to avoid any accidents."
Wang Qingxiu said: "Be careful. It's dark and you can't see clearly. Don't hurt the villagers."
The man crossed his hands and agreed, guarding the hospital door tightly and watching Wang Qingxiu enter the room.
After a while, the villagers gathered together. There were people holding torches and people holding various farm tools, all rushing to the entrance of the village. I saw seven or eight soldiers there, each with a sword and a gun, fighting with three people. There was a man lying on the roadside, wounded in the leg, howling.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Guan Shen thrust out the stick in his hand and forced the people in front of him to retreat. He turned around suddenly and jumped into the night. Liu Ye on the side has the most flexible mind and is always paying attention to Guan Shen's movements. As soon as Guan Shen left, he chased after him.
Seeing the three people escaping, Lin Yue waved his hand and said: "We don't want to chase, just guard the courtyard tightly. One person will inform the local inspection team, recruit some strong men, and search for these people!"
The soldiers on one side accepted the promise and hurried away.
Lin Yue ordered two men to take the captives on the ground to his residence next to the Wang family's house and interrogate them immediately.
After running for a while, and seeing that no one was catching up behind him, Liu Ye bent down and said: "Commander, why are there troops in this village? They also set up a secret sentry outside the village! If we hadn't left in a hurry, we would have lost our lives this time!" "
Guan Shen was stunned for a while and then said: "No need to ask, the Zhizhou must have sent people to guard his home. Zhi Niang, we only heard that the Zhizhou was not allowed to hire people at home, but we didn't know that the army was sent to guard this place. This time. You’re in trouble, no need to say more, let’s run away as far away as possible!”
After Liu Ye listened, it took him a while to understand what Guan Shen meant.
Wang Xiaolie would not let Wang Qingxiu hire anyone to farm the land, nor would he hire anyone to do things at home, but he couldn't just let it go. Wang Xiaolie sent more than thirty people to guard this village. Unless it's the army, where else can I go to get help? Guan Shen and others, whose status in the army was not high, only heard the first half of the story, but not the second half. If it weren't for the vigilance of the army in the village, it would be difficult for them to escape.
The injured person's name was Yang Lian. He was stabbed in the leg and was bleeding. After being escorted back, soldiers bandaged him and slowly stopped the bleeding.
As soon as Lin Yue asked, Yang Lian told what happened. After hearing the confession, Lin Yue was stunned.
It is not a big deal for a few soldiers to desert in the army, it happens often. But these four people were different. First they killed people and stole goods in Ruzhou, and this time they dared to go to Wang Xiaolie's house to cause trouble. They were really audacious. If it weren't for the important task of guarding Wang Xiaolie's home, Lin Yue would have wanted to lead people to chase him out.
After careful interrogation, Lin Yue did not dare to neglect. Two soldiers were sent to take Yang Lian to Ruzhou City overnight.
Half an hour later, the second brother Song came with his legs and the young men he had collected to greet Lin Yue.
Looking at Brother Song's legs, Lin Yue didn't know what to say for a moment.
After seeing Lin Yue's expression, Brother Song said: "Tijia, the younger one is the inspector of the market in Zhaoluo Town. It's just that the elder nearby escaped when the Jin soldiers came last year and has never been seen again. Tijia this time We were in such a hurry to recruit people that we had no choice but to come.”
Lin Yue nodded: "You are the person Zhizhou mentioned personally, so of course I know. That's all. I'll send someone to take Ding Zhuang to search. Just stay here. This is a case committed by a deserter in the army, so we can't ignore it."
After saying that, he sent one of his men to take Ding Zhuang and search along several roads out of the village. In particular, more people were sent to carefully search the direction where Guan Shen and several others escaped. I specifically asked you to report back as soon as you have any information.
After everything was arranged, Lin Yue arrived outside Wang's house. Seeing Zheng Yu and two others standing at the door, which was ajar, he stepped forward and asked, "How is it inside? Did you disturb the lady?"
Zheng Yu even crossed her hands: "How could I not know about such a big movement? She is sitting in the hall, waiting for our news."
Lin Yue nodded and said: "Those thieves have already escaped from the village. Only one was captured and sent to the state. You lead people to guard here, and I will go in and report. The governor sent us to guard here, and there must be no mistakes. !”
Zheng Yulian sang Nuo.
Lin Yue entered the courtyard and saw a few candles lit in the hall, and Wang Qingxiu was sitting inside. Entered the hall and sang a promise. Lin Yue said: "My lady, they are four deserters from the army. They committed a major crime in the state a few days ago. They somehow entered the village and were discovered by the soldiers, so they started fighting."
Wang Qingxiu said: "Are there any casualties?"
Lin Yue said: "Soldiers, be careful. There are no casualties. One of the thieves was injured, and he will be sent to the state."
Wang Qingxiu nodded. He said: "This is the best. But if we can't catch the thief tonight, I'm afraid no one in the village will dare to rest."
Lin Yue lowered his head and was silent for a while. Crosshand said: "It has to be this way. These thieves kill people and steal goods, so they should not be underestimated."
