mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 22

When Zhao Hongzhi brought the money home, his mother was really surprised: "You can take it if you tell me? Send it back quickly. A pheasant is nothing, but it's your father's brother. It helped the boss of our family." busy."

No chicken is worth so much money.

"Mother, uncle said, don't send the money back, and he doesn't want to send it back."

Zhao Chuanxin's great-great-grandmother understood as soon as she heard it.This is Zhao Zhongyi who is away, deliberately taking care of his family.

"Zhongyi has made a good brother."

……

small lonely mountain.

Zhan Zhonghua anxiously paced back and forth in the hall.

"Is there no news about my second brother? People are alive, corpses are dead, living people, not just one or two, how could they all disappear?"

Zhantian Fanzi had just built a lock and was short of manpower, so the whole nest was mobilized and spared no effort.And Zhan Zhonghua warned him to be honest before, so he didn't report the operation this time, and chose to do it directly.

But no one would have guessed that Zhao Chuanxin was so bold that with two ancestors, three of them would dare to intercept and kill every gun-wielding gangster halfway.

Even Zhuantian Fanzi himself was caught off guard, leading to the destruction of the group, let alone others.

"The head of the family, could it be that the second master went to find that Zhao Zhongyi?"

"Huh?" Zhan Zhonghua squinted her eyes: "You mean, Zhao Zhongyi from Lugangling Village killed them all by himself?"

"This……"

The man stopped talking because that was obviously impossible.Seven foreign guns, let alone a single person, even if they slaughtered the entire unarmed Lugangling Village, it would be no problem.

Zhanzhonghua felt a little uneasy: "I heard that Du Lishan in western Liaoning led people to fight the Russians a few times. Many people in the green forest were implicated and fled all the way north. Could it be that the second brother ran into these people , a fire broke out?"

"Second Master has a fiery personality. If you meet him, it's not impossible to fight if you disagree."

"Hey, wait a little longer. However, you should send someone to Lugangling Village to have a look."

……

Not far from Lugangling Village, there is a ditch pond, which the locals call Maluxuzi.

The red deer fair is low-lying and not suitable for too many people to live together.

There are more than a dozen families dotted around, and the distribution is relatively scattered.

Among the dwarf forests on the east mountain of Red Deer Fair, birds startled.

A boy in a small gown with many holes was poking a dung beetle on the cow dung with a small stick, and suddenly felt something and looked up.

On the steep hillside, seven or eight people couldn't stop their momentum and slid down the hill.

The last time he played like this, his pants were worn out, and when he got home, his ass was beaten up by A Niang.

So, seeing the embarrassment of the group of people, he couldn't help grinning happily, showing a few gaping teeth.

Those people slid to the bottom of the mountain and cursed angrily.

Then, stepping sideways, he walked towards here.

Xiaowazi looked up at them with a smirk, and the first person raised his leg and gave him a kick: "Laugh at your grandma!"

The little boy was kicked and fell to the ground, crying out with a "wow".

The woman in the house heard the sound and hurried out with a dustpan to look.

She is "rolling beans" with a dustpan and sifting out "blind meat".

When she saw seven or eight men with foreign guns or big knives outside, her face turned pale.

However, she threw away the dustpan immediately, and ran over to hug the baby on the ground: "Dog, are you not hurt?"

The dog was just crying there.

The leading man raised his leg irritably: "Cry, cry again and kick you to death, brat!"

This foot was protected by the woman's body.

She fell to the ground with the dog in her arms.

On the other side of the cowshed, the man of the family ran out, holding a dung fork in his hand, with red eyes and a desperate posture.

One of them smirked and loaded the foreign gun, bang!
The man fell.

The woman watched in disbelief as the man fell into a pool of blood.

Then, staring at the shooter with bloodshot eyes, she got up and reached out to scratch the man's face.

The man couldn't touch it, and held the gun in both hands. He didn't react, and was directly scratched with four blood grooves, which shows how much he hates this scratch!
A person next to her stretched out her leg and kicked her to the ground.But she seemed to have a sense of taste, screaming sharply, got up again and rushed over.

A person next to him suddenly grabbed the woman's hair from behind, the knife in his hand, the white knife went in and the red knife came out.

"mother……"

After the dog yelled, it was paralyzed from fright, and its throat was so frightened that it could no longer make a sound.

"Kill them all, let's have a full meal first."

……

Liu Guigui returned to Lugangling Village worried.

Lugangling Village was originally run by a respectable old man who usually mediates disputes and allocates resources.

Later, the old man passed away, and there was no oil and water here, and there were no big landlords, so it became an existence that no one cared about.Originally XHQ's Yirgenjueluo family was very prestigious, but since the family business went bankrupt, there has been no one in charge here.

Liu Guigui first found several old people in the village, and then accompanied them to the home of Yiergenjueluo Jintai.

Jin Tai had just finished smoking opium, and was about to squint for a while.

I was shocked to see a large group of people coming in a hurry.

Is it possible to rebel?
I knew that the Qing Dynasty would not last long, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, hey...

When Liu Baogui explained his intentions, Jin Tai realized that he had misunderstood.

"Horse beard?" Jin Taejin pulled his shoe down to the ground. "We also have locks here, what's wrong with the horse beard?"

Liu Guigui stomped his feet: "What the hell is wrong? Red Deer Fair, does it know? The whole Red Deer Fair, except for the 'Korea' who escaped the catastrophe, all died, and they were all killed by a group of people who didn't know where they came from. Ma Huzi was killed! A dozen or so families are miserable. Women have been harmed, some children have been disemboweled, and every family has died!"

Gaoli is the nickname of a Xian ethnic group in Red Deer Fair.

Jin Tai was taken aback, his already hollowed out body trembled a little.He murmured: "What's the matter, what's the matter, have you reported to the official?"

Liu Baogui's forehead was bulging with blue veins: "Reporting to the official? Only these bird officials in the Qing Dynasty have the ability to fart? I heard that there are beards who kill people, so they linger and refuse to accept it. Then Gao Li smashed his head, and the adults in the yamen , but drank tea unhurriedly, and said that I would send someone to take a look tomorrow. Tomorrow? Tomorrow, the mother will leave early!"

Jin Tai's face turned pale, and he didn't care about Liu Baogui's disrespect towards Qing Dynasty.

He said dully again: "Those horse beards will definitely leave after killing people, it has nothing to do with our Lugangling Village..."

Gao Laolan suddenly said: "Hey, Jin Tai, you have really lost the demeanor of your ancestors. Your ancestors conquered Ningxia and fought in Xijiang, and they never lost in their life. Look at you, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, smoking, everything. Hey , let's go, no need to discuss with him."

Coming to Jin Tai was driven by everyone's long-standing awe of nobles.

When they went out, everyone felt confused and scared.

Maluxuzi is not too far from here, just climb over two mountains.

If those people came here to burn, kill and loot, what would happen to the village?
When they were at a loss, Liu Guigui suddenly said, "Yes, yes, go to Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin, the loyal brother Zhao Chuanxin. He has many ideas, and he must have a way."

More and more excited.

"Zhao Chuanxin, okay?"

"Should be fine, he dared to stay overnight in Laoyinggou by himself, and even killed a leopard with his bare hands."

"That's different."

In the end, everyone came to Zhao Chuanxin's house together.

Zhao Chuanxin watched in bewilderment that all the respectable people in the village came, and even an old lady with small feet who lived on crutches also came with a dignified face.

What is this for?

"Pass the salary, give us some advice." Liu Baogui said with a hopeful face.

In fact, what happened last time gave him a great shock.He never thought that a group of gangsters could be wiped out with just three people.

He told what happened.

"At that time, I went to watch the excitement at the gate of the Yamen, but I didn't expect it to happen in Maluxuzi. If those horse beards come, how can we resist?"

Zhao Chuanxin leaned on a board, frowning in thought.The whole village, young and old, was silent, waiting for him to speak.

Defu not far away also looked at Zhao Chuanxin to see how he would solve it.

Invisibly, he has regarded Zhao Chuanxin as an idol to imitate, and he is getting closer to Zhao Chuanxin in every word and deed.

After a long while, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Maluweizi is low-lying and surrounded by mountains, right? There are two roads there, one road needs to climb over the mountains, and it can lead to the city. The other road, after crossing two mountains, is You can come to our Lugangling Village, right?"

Liu Guigui nodded sharply.

Zhao Chuanxin threw away the board, rubbed his stubble-covered chin with his much rougher hands, and made a round of inspection, looking at a group of ragged farmers.In the end, he had to smile wryly and say: "If my brother is here, I can rely on his force to accomplish things. Now...hehe, I can help you, but you need to keep a secret for me. If not, I won't care about this matter. "

Liu Baogui seemed to understand something, and turned to look at the villagers.

Gao Laolian wore a bamboo hat with his hands behind his back, and said in a low voice, "What time is it, what's the secret? You just say it, and if anyone tells it, the whole village will poke him in the back!"

"Yes, yes, whoever dares to speak out, we will beat him to death together!"

"Xiao Zhao, just tell me."
