The team moved forward again. I heard that they were going to clean the battlefield. All the soldiers were very excited. They just saw Gao Jin and the others chasing the horse thieves. They had long made them think a lot. I wonder how handsome Gao Jin was to kill the thieves. Is it possible to pierce the horse thieves with one spear, just like the one who said Grandpa Gao in Yueli was picking iron trucks.

But when he really arrived at the battlefield, the young men in the army looked at the corpses all over the ground and smelled the pungent bloody smell, and their legs were so scared that they were weak. Although Qin Zhong was timid and his legs were trembling, it was better. He was not afraid of the corpses, but afraid of Gao Jin, the god of killing.

The horse's nest was seen by the army. When he saw the corpses of the horse thieves, he was not afraid at all. He directly called a few familiar companions, moved the bodies aside, and then brought the goods scattered on the ground.

Gao Jin saw the Machao and nodded secretly when he saw the people in Machao. There were still a few decent military officers in the Hekou Fort. The Machao seemed to be the first to stand up last night and said that he would work hard for him.

After vomiting, the remaining military officers quickly started to work, and soon piled up all the bodies together and loaded all the spilled goods back into the truck. Although they were jealous of the wealthy, no one dared to be greedy. You must know that as soon as they moved the bodies together, the companions around Gao Ye came over to cut the heads of the horse thieves, saying that they wanted to take them back as proof.

After cleaning the battlefield, it was almost noon. If you walked fast enough, you could rush back to Hekou Fort before evening. When Gao Jin said he wanted to go back quickly, the soldiers didn't say anything. Everyone wanted to return to the fort early so that they could get the money and put it in their pockets.

...

The Hekou Fort and the Baihu Mansion were already crowded with people. Since I learned that the Baihu Mansion was looted by horse thieves, even a decent stool was not left, it has given up many people the idea of ​​going in and picking up cheap things.

Ni Da had already changed into clean clothes and said with a gaze of the experience of several people escaping from death. "It's thanks to our cleverness that we wiped our faces with blood and hid under the corpse, so we escaped by chance."

"Ni Da, why do those horse thieves come to attack Baihu Mansion?"

In the crowd, there were brave thugs asking. Although there were so many horses and thieves outside the wall and many bandits, they were probably not aware of such a thing in more than ten years of being killed in such a fire and killing the Baihu Mansion.

Seeing someone asking, Ni Da was inspiration, and everyone was curious, what kind of powerful horse thief Zhang Gui offended, and he was so cruel?

"I was lying in the pile of corpses yesterday and happened to hear the two thieves talking. Zhang Baihu offended not only the horse thief. He heard that he was doing business with the Tartars, but he was so bold that he wanted to be a gangster, and he cheated the Tartars of Aji's tribe."

"Someone of you must have seen the Tartars among the thieves last night. Lu Xiaoqi was shot to death by the Tartar leader."

"Where is the horse thief? I heard that the group of black sand horse thieves are so fierce! How did Zhang Baihu offend?"

Seeing that Ni Da had great news, everyone was satisfied with it. It was not a strange thing to do business with the Tartars in the border area. The Gao family caravan in the fortress used to do the Tartar business, but I didn’t expect that Zhang Gui, the 100-household master, had something to do with the horse thief.

"I heard the leader of the Black Sha Horse Thief mention a few words..."

Ni Da pretended to be mysterious and mysterious, which made everyone even more curious, as if a cat was scratching his claws in his heart.

"Ni Da, don't keep it a secret, just tell me it out quickly."

"Then I'll say it, believe it or not."

"Zhang Baihu seems to have colluded with the Heisha Horse Thief. This time he deceived the Heisha Horse Thief to deal with the Gao family caravan. As a result, the Heisha Horse Thief lost a lot of people and did not get much benefit. Then he attacked the Baihu Mansion with the Tartars."

When Ni Da said this, the crowd quickly started to make trouble, especially the veterans in the Gao family caravan, and they started to scold, "I knew that Zhang Gui was not in good faith!" "It was indeed him who colluded with a horse thief!" "He deserved to die all over the family."

Gao Jin sneaked back to the fort village that day and asked Chen Sheng to contact his partners in various villages in private. In the fort village, Chen Sheng and Yang had only three people with big eyes shone. The children of several other families were young, so Gao Jin would not let them take risks, and Chen Sheng and the others were also seeking excuses to leave home.

In the end, no one doubted Ni Da's words. Zhang Gui was mean on weekdays and became arrogant once he succeeded. When he paid the autumn grain, the Baihu Mansion could be said to have forced the people in the fortress to the dead, and he wished that every household would offer land to Baihu Mansion and be a slave.

Now the Hundred Houses are being washed away by blood, and the wealth is robbed, and the whole family is dead. Few people feel pitiful. Instead, they think God has eyes, and evil people are beaten up by evil people.

They offended the Tartars and the Horse Thieves. It would be great if Zhang Gui died outside the wall. There were many people in the crowd thinking so, and the families of the officials who followed Zhang Gui out of the frontier were hoping that their Ah Dalang would return safely.

The sun sets westward, and the crowds watching the fun gradually dissipated. No one was willing to collect the bodies of the Baihu Mansion. Several families with some relationship with Zhang Gui did not dare to stand out. The tyrannical thieves and the Tartars scared them. Who knew if those thieves would still kill them and shoot them back? When they found them, they wanted to separate their relationship with the Zhang family.

In the evening, the dilapidated gate of Hekou Fortress opened again. At this time, the sun had not yet set completely. When the horse team came outside the Fortress, the people of the Fortress, who were scared like frightened birds all returned home behind closed doors. It was not until Qin Zhong and his soldiers came in and shouted around before everyone dared to come out of the house.

"General Qin Qi, is the Erlang of the Gao family back?"

"Where is my Ada? Am I still alive?"

In the crowd that gathered again, people asked in a verbal question, especially in the homes of the veterans of the Gao family caravan, when they heard that Gao Jin was alive, they also brought people to kill horse thieves and snatched goods, they all rekindled hope. Maybe what Zhang Gui said before was a lie, but in fact, his own Ah Da Lang was not dead.

"I said, it's not a big deal for you to ask this. Gaozu is outside the fortress. You will arrive with your things after a while. You can ask Gaozu yourself, right?"

Qin Zhong squeezed out of the crowd and shouted loudly. The military ditches who came in with him were so happy to see him laughing at him, and had no intention of coming forward to help.

However, Qin Zhong's words were of some effect at least. People were quieter, and many people looked out the village gate with anticipation. Soon Gao Jin rode his horse in, and behind him were Chen Sheng and Wang Dou. The remaining veterans saw that Gao Jin was surrounded by adult children from various families. The hope that had just risen in their hearts suddenly sank.

After the horse team, one cart after another came in. People knew that the goods were snatched back from the horse thief by Gao Jin and they were even more curious about what happened outside the wall?

Gao Jin and his friends were solemn and no one dared to come forward for a moment to ask, but they just let Gao Jin lead the team to the front of Baihu Mansion. Seeing the door of Baihu Mansion open, Gao Jin jumped off his horse, with a look of surprise and asked the crowd that followed, "What happened? Baihu Mansion is like this?"

Qin Zhong and his soldiers also stared blankly at the Baihu Mansion, which was obviously washed away by blood, and looked at everyone present in a daze.

"Grandma, last night, the Heisha Horse Thief colluded with the Tartars and entered the fortress and broke into Baihu Mansion. Lu Xiaoqi was killed in battle, and the rest of Baihu Mansion were also dead."

Ni Da jumped out and said, "He is the survivor of Baihu Mansion in everyone's eyes, and he knows the most. When he comes out to report to Gao Jin, everyone also thinks it is reasonable."

The people in the border areas have always understood the truth. Gao Jin's subordinates are strong and powerful. They can kill horse thieves to take revenge and rob goods. That's the truth.

"I didn't expect that those horse thieves and Tartars were so cruel. They killed my uncles and uncles, even Zhang Baihu Mansion... I, Gao Jin, would never let them go."

Gao Jin said with a sad and angry face, but his friends around him were all expressionless. Yang Big Eyes Wang Dou and others tried hard to keep themselves in their hands and not to ruin Gao Jin's major events.

Hearing Gao Jin say this, the people in the fortress all seemed to have seen ghosts. It was not that Zhang Gui colluded with horse thieves and Tartars to harm the Gao family caravan, why did he hear the words of the Gao family Erlang? It seems that it is not the case? For a moment, everyone became confused. They didn't think that Ni Da, who escaped from death, was lying, but instead felt that Gao Erlang in front of him seemed to be acting.

Gao Jin looked at the expressions on the faces of the people in the fortress and didn't care what they thought. Anyway, he performed this one-man show alone, and it doesn't matter whether others believed it. What's important is that his words and deeds could be passed on to Shenmu Castle.

"Everyone, my Gao family caravan suffered a great disaster before. I, Gao Jin, escaped by chance. I got help from noble people. I avenged my father with my uncle's brothers. Now all the wealth and goods have been taken back. According to my rules, my uncles and uncles' families..."

Not to mention the matter of Baihu Mansion, Gao Jin talked about the pensions of his uncles and uncles, which was a matter of course. He had not returned to the fortress for these days, and those uncles who were unaware of the situation had a difficult time, so it was not an exaggeration to make up for it.

When they heard that Gao Jin wanted to give 50 taels of pension to the veterans of the Gao family caravan, the others were red in their eyes. They should know that the border areas are poor, and many families cannot save money all year round, but instead have to owe a lot of debts, and finally offer their land as slaves, selling their wives and daughters.

"Her grandpa is kind and righteous!"

In the crowd, someone shouted that for the people in the fortress, the wealth was taken back by Gao Jin and there was no need to give any pensions to the veterans' families.

You should know that the government did not give any pensions in the government and the court could only receive the reward silver if they survived. Even if Gao Jin didn’t give a pension, it was worth noting. As a result, this gift was fifty taels per household. How extravagant and righteous!
