Chapter 514
Hejiazhuang is located on the east bank of Fen River, with large farmland to the west and south, a pond to the east, and mulberry forests and orchards to the north. The land here is fertile and irrigation is convenient, making it a rare fertile land. To the north is ten kilometers from Jinzhou City
Two miles away, the transportation is also convenient.
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and people in the village are busy preparing gifts for the festival.
An ox cart came from the north of the village, with several companions standing beside it, swaying.
Tang Erniang saw it and said to the people around her: "Isn't it the fourth lady who is here? Go to the reporter's office quickly!"
When the congratulator got the news, he hurried to the village entrance. His daughter got off the bullock cart and saluted the congratulator.
He Yuanwai helped his daughter up and said: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and I still want to come to your place to watch the lanterns. Why do you come back to the village?"
The Fourth Lady said: "My officials went to Taiyuan Mansion for business, and my wife couldn't tolerate me, so I went back to the village to stay for a few days. Dad, in this year and age, where do the lanterns come from in the city? Most people eat two burnt lanterns."
Chai, drink a bowl of Shunfeng Yuanzi, and this festival will be over."
The congratulator said: "It's pitiful. Let's put it this way, the city is not as lively as our countryside."
While chatting, the father and daughter entered Zhuangzi and arranged to stay.
After the Jin army occupied Jinzhou City, He Yuanwai tried his best to make his fourth daughter the concubine of the guard, so as to keep his wealth. He also used money to make his second son a governor, and protected the He family.
Zhuang Ping'an. It's just that the fourth daughter is not very favored in the governor's mansion, she just has connections.
In the evening, lights were put on in the village, and children were running around, creating a lively scene.
As the sun went down, five people suddenly came outside the village. They were all riding horses and called at the gate of the village.
He Balang, who was guarding the gate of the village, stretched out his head and said loudly: "Who are you? Why do you come here to call the door after dark?"
The knight said: "We were going to Jinzhou City, but we accidentally lost our place. Let's see how dark it is. Let's rest for the night in your village."
He Balang said: "You are strangers and it is not convenient to live in the village. There is a grass market about three miles away from here. You can go there."
The knight said: "Brother, the sun has set, how can we do it? We don't know where the grass market is, and we're afraid we can't find it. You go and tell the owner of the village and let us rest in the village for the night."
He Balang had no choice but to go to the village and report to Yuan He.
Hearing this, Yuan Wai couldn't help frowning: "We are not in a remote place, so how could we lose our place of accommodation? There is an inn in Chaicun Cao Market three miles away. Let them stay there. You can explain the road more clearly. If you don't know how to walk,
Bad."
After hearing this, He Balang had no choice but to return to the entrance of the village. He said to the knight outside the door: "Our village owner said that this is not a remote place, how could we lose our place? You go back along the way you came and arrive at the first place.
Turn right at the intersection and walk three miles to Chaicun Grass Market. There is an inn there where you can stay overnight."
After hearing this, the knight couldn't help but whisper to the people around him: "Straight bitch, this family is so naughty! It seems that no matter what they say, they won't let us in."
The people around him nodded and said, "I have no choice but to leave. Wait for an hour or two and then come and smash the door of this family!"
Several knights bowed their hands to the village gate and left bitterly. When they arrived at a place more than a mile away from the village, they rode into the reeds nearby and saw seventy or eighty people waiting there. The leading knight was waiting there.
It was Luo Cang, who stepped forward and said to Luan Qingshan: "Zhai Master, this He Yuan is so ignorant of human relations that he won't let us enter the village no matter what."
Luan Qingshan was startled and said: "How can I refuse a passerby to stay overnight? There are countless Zhuangzi in the world, but there are really only a few who do this."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Since you are not allowed to enter the village, there is nothing to say, so I have to attack it forcefully. During the day, I looked at this village from a distance. There are two gates to the village, one to the south and one to the north. There is a small gate on the east and west.
The village gate is convenient for doing work. The village gate at the east pond is often open every day, and the villagers will go to the pond to fish. After a while, twenty or thirty people will be used to attack the north and south village gates, and ten people will be ambushed outside the east and west village gates.
To prevent anyone from running out."
Luo Cang promised and said: "I'm going to attack the south gate! Zhi Niang, the thief, won't let me in. He smashed the gate of his village at night!"
Luan Qingshan naturally agreed. He arranged for Luo Cang and Lu Hui to attack the south gate, himself and Xue Lei to attack the north gate, Ma Tang to guard the west gate, and Tao Feng to guard the east gate.
In addition to the leader, Luan Qingshan brought a total of seventy-six subordinates to Hejiazhuang this time, and they were commanded by several people. They waited quietly in the reeds. When the lights were turned off in the village and everyone was about to go to bed, they went in. In the countryside.
, it’s dark and there are few pedestrians, so I’m not afraid that someone will know.
A cool breeze blows from the direction of the Fen River, biting the bone. The reed leaves around me sway slightly, making a rustling sound. A full moon rises in the east, exuding a cool breath. The watery moonlight sprinkles on the earth,
The dead grass seemed to be covered with frost.
Watching the lights in Hejiazhuang slowly go out, Luan Qingshan said: "The time has come. Everyone pack up and get ready to go!"
Everyone said a promise and moved their muscles and bones.
Luan Qingshan said: "The space in Zhuangzi is small and there is no room for movement, so I put the horses nearby and asked someone to watch them. The others followed me!"
The group followed Luan Qingshan and arrived at Hejiazhuang. They separated from the leader and grabbed the door respectively.
When Luo Cang arrived at the south gate, he saw that the banker who was guarding the door was nowhere to be seen, and he didn't know where he was hiding. He strode to the door, took out his mace, and slammed it on the wooden door. Unexpectedly, the wooden door was very strong.
It didn't move.
Turning around, Luo Cang said to the people behind him: "Come in together! I don't believe this wooden door is so strong!"
Everyone promised and moved forward together. When they arrived at the door, Luo Cang commanded them, shouting slogans, and rushed towards the village gate together.
He Balang was taking a nap in a place sheltered from the wind. He heard some noise and just stood up when he heard a shout outside and the village gate collapsed. He was startled. He jumped out with a stick and shouted: "Who is it?
You dare to come and break into my village!"
I saw a figure running out, raising his hand and hitting it with a mace.
Seeing the blood flowing from He Balang's head, Luo Cang spat and said, "You straight mother-in-law, let me enter the village and save you a lot of trouble!"
After saying that, he led his men and rushed straight to Zhuangzi.
A row of houses near the gate were occupied by unmarried bankers. When they heard the noise, someone put on their clothes and ran out. Luo Cang didn't ask any questions, and ordered his men to kill them all the way until rivers of blood flowed.
After passing through the south yard, Luo Cang shook the bloody hand on his waist knife and looked back. He said to Qu Xing and Chai Qing: "You guys, go into the room and take a look. If there are any alive, give them to them."
One knife! After reading this, guard this gate!"
Qu Xing promised. Together with Chai Qing, he led several people into the house. Not long after, several screams came from inside.
Luo Cang snorted coldly, saw Qu Xing and the others coming out, and said: "The rest of the people will follow me and fight in! I met a gasping man on the road, and he was killed with a knife!"
Everyone agreed. Following Luo Cang, they ran straight to the main room in Zhuangzi.
He Yuanwai was about to take off his clothes and go to bed when he heard the commotion outside. He didn't know what was going on. He quickly took a lantern and walked out of the room. When he went out, he saw Luo Cang coming with someone in a menacing manner. He couldn't help but be surprised and picked a pick.
Lantern said: "Who?!"
Luo Cang said: "Grandpa is the king of hell in the underworld. He is impermanent and wants to kill you. Today I am here to take the lives of your family!"
Under the moonlight, Luo Cang looked menacing, like a ghost. He was so frightened that the lantern fell to the ground involuntarily.
Luo Cang was about to rush forward when someone around him stopped him and said, "Brother, you can't kill this guy! You have to ask him where the treasure in Zhuangzi is hidden!"
Luo Cang nodded: "That's right! This old man can avoid the death penalty, but he cannot escape the living penalty!"
After saying that, he strode forward and kicked He Wai to the ground. He stepped forward and stepped on him, saying: "Old man, our brothers have been having a hard time recently. We came to your village to borrow some money and food to live on. You'd better be honest and honest."
Come out! Otherwise——"
