Back Off, Let Me Come

As we all know, Zheng Qiao massacred the city several times to vent his anger.

It's just that some massacres are not as simple as just killing people, because there is no profit. What is the purpose of being a soldier? In the final analysis, they are just asking for food. Except for a few bloodthirsty, perverted, and dehumanized people, very few people regard killing as entertainment.

Seal the city, besiege it.

The ultimate goal is to search for money. At the same time, it is also a "reward" for the troops under the account. Because military pay is usually low, "rewards" are needed in order to make soldiers more loyal and work hard for themselves. If you grab money, food, or women, whoever gets it will get it.

The first to bear the brunt are the wealthy households in the city.

One by one, no one can escape.

Next is the “middle class” in the city.

The last is the common people who have the largest group.

The people in the city can survive for a day if they are willing to hand over their money, but no one is brainless. How could the latter hand over all his family assets so easily? How could the former believe that such a small thing was this family's life savings?

The more money the common people hide, the less the soldiers who come to search for it will gain. There is an irreconcilable "contradiction" between the two. Some soldiers will not bear it at first and are moved by the people's pleas, but the result of doing so is to watch others get rich.

These soldiers have to make a living. They have children at home who are waiting to be fed, and parents who are waiting to serve. To feed these people requires money and food. Only by getting rich can they live a good life. How to make a fortune? Naturally, they tried their best to force out more money.

These soldiers began to "involve".

The means of threats and coercion gradually escalated.

From intimidation to beatings, it was effective at first, but soon it was difficult for the people to pay for the beatings, so they escalated to hurting people with sharp weapons, chopping off their limbs, and finally killing the "poor" to scare the "rich". While squeezing out the last of the money and water from the common people, they also gradually lost their way.

The common people who have no power to restrain the chicken no longer have the psychological burden, and even experience a little secret and strange pleasure from it.

Cut off the abdomen and intestines, and measure the body with water.

Corpses littered the fields, bleeding thousands of miles away.

For the people in the besieged city, death is a kind of relief. The horror of the massacre is that it gives hope again and again, but increases despair again and again. Being squeezed out of the last drop of oil and water, waiting for the butcher's hand to lift the knife and drop it.

Huang Lie's wife and daughter are one of them.

One time, I was seeing a doctor from a poor family. The husband asked him if he had a family. When he found out that he didn't have a family, he gave him his granddaughter, who he couldn't afford, and said, "My granddaughter is very honest, so she might as well be your mother-in-law." Just give her a bite to eat, as long as she doesn't starve to death. 】

The woman just followed Huang Lie.

She was a country woman with an ordinary appearance. She gave birth to a son with mediocre qualifications and a daughter with mediocre appearance, weak and meek character. She silently took care of the housework, accompanied Huang Lie to the mountains to collect herbs, went to the fields to grow grain, and took care of Huang Lie's brother Tang. younger brother.

Huang Lie also knew that he owed her.

I saved some money and rented a house.

The original intention was to allow women and children to live here in peace.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Qiao attacked and massacred the city.

The enemy soldiers broke into the house, and only old grains and rice bran were left in the woman's house. After a search, there was no other oil or water. The enemy soldiers naturally didn't believe it and threatened their son's life. When they saw that the effect was not good, they finally believed that the family was really poor. He gave the woman's son a knife with a gloomy look on his face.

Right in the center.

The woman instantly went crazy and wanted to fight the enemy soldiers desperately.

The enemy soldiers were angered and took turns desecrating her and her daughter in front of her son's body, and finally cut off their heads. The massacre lasted for five days, and the number of people alive in the city was less than 50% as before. By the time Huang Lie and others returned home from collecting medicine, the body was already stinking.

This story makes those who hear it sigh and sympathize.

Jiang Sheng frowned: "Does this person still have such a past? It's a pity that what he did after that was not as kind as Zheng Qiao."

Poor and hateful!

Liao Jia was not touched at all.

It's still the same sentence - in this world, who can survive a struggle, who doesn't have some wounds on his body? The difference is whether the "wound" heals and scabs, or whether it rots and grows maggots. He asked: "After that, Huang Lie used his reputation over the years to gain momentum?"

Xun Zhen shook her head: "No."

Doctor Ling, how can it be so easy to get going?

"But he really buried this grudge in his heart. Before, he only practiced medicine to save people, but later he practiced medicine to accumulate reputation and connections and look for opportunities. By the way, his noble master did have some skills, and the secret knowledge he passed on to Huang Lie was a bit evil. .”

Jiang Sheng asked: "Where is the evil door?"

Xun Zhen had not been in contact with Huang Lie for too long, and she only knew a little: "Huang Lie used his noble master's unique skills to train a group of heavy shield warriors. As expected, in the battle in Luxia County, the Lord and these heavy shield warriors Shield warriors have fought against each other..."

"You said those heavy shield warriors were trained by Huang Lie using evil methods?" At this time, Kang Shi's voice came from outside the door.

"It should be close to ten."

The appearance of those heavy-shield warriors appeared in Kang Shi's mind. Even though it had been a long time, he still remembered that these heavy-shield warriors were very strange: "They are all the second-class top-notch warriors of Qing Yi Shui. They are as strong as cattle. They breathe in the same way and shoot in the same way. I don't know. What is pain?”

Liao Jia said: "This doesn't sound like a living person."

"More like a puppet." Kang Shi sat down and added another detail, "Wuhui's [Sinking into Fire] doesn't work."

Xun Zhen secretly took a breath of air.

He and Chu Yao had cooperated in the battle at Yonggu Pass, and he knew very well how powerful the opponent's special word spirit was. How could a mere second-class master be immune to it? It is possible for one or two people to resist [Sinking into Fire] by relying on their will, but everyone is immune...

The possibility is slimmer than Qi Yuanliang's landing in Liangdu.

Kang Shi also found it difficult and asked, "Hanzhang, do you know how many such heavy-shield warriors Huang Lie has under his command?"

Xun Zhen's expression was solemn and authentic: "Zhen threw herself into Huang Lie's tent at that time. He only had two thousand and five thousand in his account. But by chance, he heard Huang Lie say that in a short time, he would have five thousand. Nowadays, the heavy shield warrior only has 2,500. I'm afraid - there will only be a little more..."

"It's ten thousand."

A voice joined in.

It's the lord.

Several people wanted to get up to greet him.

Shen Tang waved his hand to signal them to excuse themselves.

She sat down at the head of the room, and there was an opened letter in her hand. This letter should be the main reason for this urgent summons.

"I just received a congratulatory letter from Yi Ruzhang."

"Zhang He? Zhang Yongqing?"

Everyone was surprised.

Longwu County is closest to Tianhai, followed by Shangnan, while Yiru is limited to previous epidemic cooperation and medicinal materials trading. Other than that, there is almost no contact between the two families. Why did this Zhang He appear so suddenly? What was written in the letter?

Shen Tang didn't show off either.

Passed the letter over.

Several people circulated the information one by one. At this time, other colleagues also arrived one after another, and the empty chamber was quickly filled with familiar faces. Zhang He's wording was simple and he only wrote two things.

"First, it is rumored that Huang Lie has 10,000 heavy-shield warriors under his tent. These people are somewhat related to the epidemic we discovered in Heyin and other places. Huang Lie's hands are not clean. Even if he did not do it, they are related to He has everything to do with it.”

"Secondly, Huang Lie invited forces from Tianhai, Shangnan, Yiru and other places, hoping to form a dragon-slaying bureau and overthrow Zheng Qiao's royal court in one go. What do you think - what do you think?"

As a pregnant woman, I find that I actually prefer writing plots about fighting and killing. Anxin’s farming infrastructure is not good enough, but Tangmei’s power is really too weak now, and she can’t spread it.
