Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 157
Du Fuwei took the lead, and led fifty sword players under him, with shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and rushed towards Nanshui Village.

At the gate of the village, the old man guarding the gate was basking in the sun. When he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes and saw a group of men rushing like wolves and tigers.

"What..." The old man wanted to ask what he was doing, but he could only utter one word, and he couldn't utter the words after that. He was so frightened that his legs trembled and he couldn't move.

Du Fuwei, who rushed to the front, kicked the old man to the ground, "Tie him up!"

Zhao Gui led the scout team's fifty light cavalry, and they had already divided into several teams, and surrounded the village outside the village. Today, none of them could escape.

Although it was the Ma Liansheng brothers who committed the crime, Nanshui Village's failure to report the crime was a crime of shelter.

This kind of village is of the same family, and they are very united. If they are careless, they may suffer losses.Therefore, Luo Cheng was not careless. When he came, he directly pulled two teams of county soldiers over.

In front of the ferocious villagers, before a hundred county soldiers, they are nothing but paper tigers.

The brigade of sword players rushed into the village.

There were shouts in the village, and the villagers also discovered the situation, but in the face of the heavily armed county soldiers, these people actually tried to resist. They called brothers and brothers, copied hoes and shovels, and even some old women came out with spatulas.

If ordinary people encounter this situation, they may be confused.

But Du Fuwei did not, and neither did his sword players. They have suppressed bandits, fought battles and killed people. .

"Anyone who dares to resist the law and resist arrest will be knocked down. If he dares to resist with weapons, he will be killed without guilt."

Ma Liansheng and his brothers rushed out with a hatchet and hunting fork, and went up without saying a word.

Du Fuwei raised his knife to meet him, blocked the machete that Ma Liansheng cut down with a shield, and then chopped his leg with a knife with his right hand, and Ma Liansheng, a tall and strong man, fell to the ground immediately.

He is good at killing cattle, but he obviously has little experience in fighting.

When Ma Liansheng fell, the fierce Ma family was also stunned.

Some people are still charging, some are already hesitating, and some are still running. The knife team doesn't care about these. They charge forward in groups of three, smashing anyone they see, and slashing with their knives if they dare to resist.

After several people saw blood, the arrogance of the Ma family finally collapsed.

Being fierce and ferocious does not mean that he is not afraid of death.

When the brothers Luo Cheng walked into the village, almost no one in the village dared to resist, and they were all running away.

But the gate of the village has been guarded by scout Qingqi, and there are still Qingqi guarding outside the village wall, and those who want to escape are driven back by bows and arrows.

"Captain, catch him in one catch!"

The confusion lasted for about half an hour.

After half an hour.

Under the communal tree in Shuinan Village, there are hundreds of people in the village, young and old, except for those who are not in the village, the rest are driven here.

Ma Liansheng and his brothers were tied up and thrown to the ground like pigs.

"Captain, a total of 110 cow hides were seized, as well as a large number of horns and tendons, and 37 stolen farm cattle were also seized."

"so much?"

Luo Chengcheng was a little surprised. What he saw at Ma's house before was only in his teens.

"Captain, not only Brother Ma Liansheng's family has stolen cattle, but several families in the village also have stolen cattle."

After a simple interrogation, the answer was obtained.

The people in this village are tough, and the Ma Liansheng brothers were not honest people before.They brothers have been engaged in the business of stealing cattle for a long time, but they have been going to other counties to steal, so they have never been caught.

He used to steal cattle to supply to the butcher, but after the thief was caught last time, his cattle had nowhere to sell. Later, the brothers came together and simply slaughtered the cattle for sale.

Then they found that the profit of slaughtering cattle was higher, at least four or five times the profit. If the cattle were stolen, it would be even more profitable.The brothers were also very courageous. In a short period of time, they sold beef all over the nine counties of Qi County, not to mention, and even sold it to Lu County next door.

Now they don't steal cattle at all. They think that stealing cattle does not make money from slaughtering cattle, so they concentrate on slaughtering cattle and selling them, and then ask people in the same village to steal cattle to supply them.

Villagers steal cattle, their brothers butcher cattle, and then villagers help them sell beef to give beef, forming a cattle slaughter industry chain, villagers cover each other, and bribe the government servants, so the business in their village can kill several cattle a day Niu, but the county doesn't even know about it.

People get stolen goods.

Luo Cheng was very satisfied, but he still conducted a simple interrogation here, and told his second brother-in-law Wang Ziming to be responsible for recording it, and let those people draw fingerprints under his confession.

With the stolen goods and the confession, Luo Cheng's raid was complete.

As the captain of the county barracks, it was his duty to arrest and suppress bandits.

The county should have been notified of the discovery of a huge gang of cattle theft and cattle slaughter, but Luo Cheng did it directly. He was suspected of stealing credit, but he did not go beyond his errand.

Just doing this will definitely make the county government a little passive, but Luo Cheng doesn't care about it.

"Take the cattle slaughterer away, and the villagers who sheltered stay in the village for the time being, Du Fuwei."

"exist!"

"You take the knife team to stay in the village and guard these villagers."

After the confession, Luo Cheng returned to the county with the confession and Ma Liansheng and other cattle slaughterers and robbers.

"Old five, what should we do next?"

Luo Cheng turned his head and looked at Ma Liansheng and the others who were dragging behind the horse, "Of course they are going to the county seat."

"Go to the county seat?"

"Yes, let's go to the county government to arrest people."

"Catch who?"

"The servant who caught the cattle thief and butcher!"

When the fourth son heard this, he immediately regained his spirits, "Okay, fifth son, you finally got tough."

Luo Cheng rolled his eyes at Luo Si, what does it mean to be tough for a while, I am now a pillar of the sky every morning, okay?

After hitting the horse and returning to the camp outside the county seat, Luo Cheng directly ordered the teams in the camp to assemble.

Except for the sword team staying in Shuinan Village, the other nine teams quickly assembled.

Jumping team, assault team, light cavalry team, scout team, gun shield team, hook and sickle team, simple knife team, crossbow team, long spear team, spear team, a team quickly assembled.

"Raise the flag, let's go!"

More than [-] people immediately raised the banner, filed out of the camp, and came to the county seat.

At the north gate of the county seat, Min Zhuang guards the gate.

Seeing from afar the armed forces of the county barracks approaching, his expression changed.

"Luo Cheng has turned his back on him, report it to the county captain!"

County government.

Du Ruhui was still angry, a strong class yamen servant scrambled in and reported in a panic.

"It's not good, it's not good, Luo Cheng has turned his back on him, and he is rushing over with the county barracks!"

When Du Ruhui heard that Luo Cheng had turned against him, he was neither surprised nor angry.

"Luo Cheng, are you just so small? Then I really thought highly of you before."

The yamen servant didn't understand what the county lieutenant was still muttering at this time, "County lieutenant?"

"What are you panicking? Immediately send an order to the four gates to close the city gates, and the third class of yamen servants will go up to guard the city."

The words just fell.

Another person rushed in.

"It's not good, county lieutenant, Luo Cheng has already led his troops into the county town!"

"He's coming to the county government!"
