Chapter 93: Swallow as much as you spit out
Seeing how embarrassing the master was, Song Zhuang rushed to save the scene, and by the way, brought back the topic of being taken eight hundred miles away. "Now let's think about how to deal with that group of people for a while, we are all messed up like this, they should come too."
Once again, I felt the "easy to use" of the apprentice. It would be a lie to say that I am not moved. Regardless of whether Zou Jinchu will pursue it in the future, I will close this matter first.
As soon as the voice fell, the noise over there gradually approached.
"coming."
Mo Wanqing silently stood beside them, he is not good at quarreling, so let someone who is good at it do it.Zou Jinchu pondered for a while and asked him to move some soldiers outside the city. Those who can deceive the court into colluding with foreigners for personal gain are not cowardly.
According to what he meant, it was to let people take it down directly, and make a quick decision on this matter, so as not to affect the big event by accidents.
Mo Wanqing didn't say much else, just asked, "How long can you last?" It would take at least half an hour to get here from outside the city plus the time for reorganizing the soldiers. He didn't want to move in to rescue the soldiers but it was too late.
"Don't worry, it will never be later than you."
With his words, Mo Wanqing was half relieved, and before he left, he promised that he would "come back as soon as possible".
Just this sentence is a manifestation of mutual trust between them, no one needs to say anything more, and each other will try their best to reduce the pressure on each other.To go to Mo Wanqing, you need to break through the defense line in the town, and it is not easy to bring the soldiers in.Similarly, Zou Jinchu is always on the cutting edge here, if one is not handled well, these thugs don't care about any generals, they just work for their masters.
By coincidence, the way out was not the same as when we came here, and the difficulty increased a lot. Mo Wanqing waved away the wrapped dagger, jumped up, and moved quickly on the roof, followed by pursuers.
must hurry up...
On Zou Jinchu's side, when they Shi Shiran walked out of the granary, the face of Qian and Grain Officer Zhou, who was still smiling during the day, turned gorgeously green.Before he could speak, Zou Jinchu preemptively said: "Don't come here without any problems, Mr. Zhou, the granary in your mansion is really full of fruit!"
Master Zhou's mouth twitched, he had never seen such a thick-skinned person before, and he broke into their house in the middle of the night to "shopping" and still commented!
Of course, this comment was not what he wanted to hear. The people sent to the inn were all in vain, only a dozen or so little Luoluo were caught, and they still couldn't tell where Zou Jinchu and the others were going.Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, when he went to someone's inn in the dark, they actually came to his house at the same time.
"Then do I still have to thank the general for his compliment?" By now his face has been torn, and he doesn't care whether he is a general or not, he has to tell me tonight in the Zhou mansion.
"No, the master still has a boy not here." The servant who spoke was obviously one of the group of people who were played badly by Mo Wanqing just now. They hated Mo Wanqing to the bone, how could they not catch him Ken give up.
"That kid escaped just now, and I have ordered someone to chase him. None of them can escape today!" Since it was decided to make a big deal, there must be no omissions left.
"Haha, general, look at this man's huge list, he dared to openly murder the imperial court official!" Zou Jinchu stared coldly at the Qian Liang official surnamed Zhou, "He is even more courageous, if he dares to collude with other clans, he will implicate the entire clan!" charge."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Zhou Xin's face, and he quickly said in a calm manner: "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. When did I, Zhou, do such a thing? And General Zou didn't It would be me who murdered him, and he died "suddenly". Well, the cause of the disease has been thought out for you by the lower officials, that is, he was worried about food and grass, and he became depressed and died."
Zou Jinchu sighed suddenly, "Since you have already figured out the 'cause' for me, what else can I say? Just a little bit, I wonder that you have been the money and food officer for more than 30 years, and you have always managed it well. , the imperial court also praises you mostly, and never treats you badly every year, but why do you want to take risks and 'do business' with foreigners?"
The words used to delay time accidentally touched Zhou Xinli's heart, and he suddenly said furiously: "Shut up! What do you know! I am loyal to the court. I thought it was noble to be an upright official. In the end, I was so poor that My first wife is seriously ill and has no money to treat her, so I just watched her die!"
"Yunniang, our young couple, we have survived many hardships, but in the end I am useless, and I can't even pay for her medical treatment! Since she left, I have no family and country righteousness in my eyes. I want Money, more money!"
Seeing his delirious and painful appearance, Zou Jinchu still poured cold water on him, "However, no amount of money can bring Mrs. Zhou back to life. No matter how much you earn, it's useless. If you have so many concubines, don't you just hang out with other men?" .”
The last sentence can be said to poke people's scars very much. Song Zhuang let him throw the words out before he had time to stop him. Seeing the murderous eyes of the old man across the way, he felt even more headache.
Covering his face, "General...you can't speak so bluntly, just now we can use the opportunity to hold him back..."
Zou Jinchu turned his head and looked at him coldly.
After a while, "Ah, you did the right thing, general!" Hey, who made you a general, and I can only make up for the holes you made.
"What... the general means is, Lord Zhou, please express your condolences. Life and death are life and death. Madam Zhou's death can't make you change your temper directly. At least I believe that Madam Zhou's spirit in heaven will not want you to become like this."
After these words, Master Zhou cried bitterly, but Zou Jinchu continued to look at him coldly.
"Did I... have something to say?"
Zou Jinchu snorted coldly. From his point of view, that Zhou Xinli was just collecting money in the name of his dead wife, and could give him sympathy points for treason.If you think about it too much, the crime has been established, and the Zhu Jiu Clan is indispensable!
However, it seems that this kid's words still have a little effect, and they can be more sure if Zhou Xinli is crying on the sidelines.
But it is obvious that the emotional card can only be played once, and the opponents are not all infatuated old men who are addicted to emotions.He wiped away his tears and said, "Don't think that you can escape death by saying a few good words. Today is a very important matter, and you still can't live."
The same words were less harsh, Song Zhuang knew that their chance had come. "Puff, master Zhou, please relax, there are so many of you, we can't escape even if we spread our wings. We just want to know the truth of the matter..."
"Since you must die, what's the use of knowing the truth? Unless you want to take it out!" After speaking, the guards dressed as servants raised their weapons and started pointing at them, which was a signal to attack.
Old stuff, still very vigilant.
The other party refused to continue the conversation, and the two of them had nothing to do for the time being.A difficult tug-of-war finally had to end here. Zou Jinchu can be regarded as a good player. Although Song Zhuang is not as good as him, he will basically not be hindered. It is no problem for the two to cooperate to deal with dozens of people. There must be at least a hundred people, not including the one who went after Mo Wanqing just now.
"General, the situation is not good." Seeing that there were not many people around them, but if there were many, he knew that the old man was planning to kill them as soon as possible.
"Persist for a while, Wanqing should be here soon!" Now, besides persistence, just persist, don't add trouble to Mo Wanqing who will come later, try not to increase it.At least not to fall into their hands, this is Zou Jinchu's only hope at this time.
Staring hard at the old man who was still looking very kind during the day, he actually closed his eyes and was reciting the Buddha's name.It's big enough... Wait, close your eyes... Hehe, Zhou Xinli, this is an opportunity you created for us!
Zou Jinchu quickly gave a signal to Song Zhuang behind him. This kid was also clever, and quickly covered Zou Jinchu and moved in that direction.Fifty steps, thirty steps, ten steps, five steps.Zou Jinchu suddenly became violent.Fingers clawed at his throat.
In a blink of an eye, this guy quickly reacted and hid to the side, Zou Jinchu only had time to grab a corner of his clothes.It turns out that this guy can also work a little bit.
At such a moment, people around Zou Jinchu immediately surrounded him, temporarily separating him from Zhou Xinli.
And Zhou Xinli, who was still an "extraordinary expert" just now, was very embarrassed by his sudden attack. He had to roll around on the ground to completely resolve the crisis just now in order to save his life.This was another humiliation for him, "Kill! Hurry up, haven't you eaten yet!"
The enraged Zhou Xinli ordered people to put more pressure on them. Zou Jinchu felt that something was wrong. He should have hit him with a single blow just now. He blamed him for underestimating the enemy, and instead angered the enemy.
I'm afraid I really can't hold it anymore. As soon as this idea came to my mind, there was a sound of neat horseshoes over there!
He was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed helplessly. This kid really had no scruples, and he even let the cavalry rush over.
Mo Wanqing led a group of soldiers to rescue their general, some of them entered the courtyard, while others surrounded the courtyard.The situation immediately reversed, and Zhou Xinli watched this scene in astonishment, and finally chose to surrender helplessly.
This catastrophe did not have much impact on the town, and Zhou Xinli was sent to the capital to accept his due punishment.Zou Jinchu took the military supplies according to the original share, and registered them and handed them over to the officials sent by the imperial court to temporarily manage the place.
No matter how flattering people praised the general for his bravery and foresight, Zou Jinchu led his soldiers to the direction of the battlefield.
He would never take false words to heart, but after this incident, he promoted Song Zhuang to be a centurion, and he did not promote him as a guard according to his wishes.In his words, "I don't like all false things, including people, even if you reveal your purpose, I still don't like it."
As for the treatment of apprentice Mo Wanqing, he also agreed.Similarly, Mo Wanqing didn't seem to think much of him, he just said, "I only teach him martial arts, and don't care about anything else."
Of course, not to mention how angry Song Zhuang, who thought he had made great contributions, would be annoyed by such a suspicious result. Anyway, this matter is really over here. If he can make great contributions on the battlefield next, Zou Jinchu would not will crush him.
