The Ming Dynasty talker in the box

Chapter 30 Attacking Gaojiabao

Li Hengqu sat on the carriage and drove firmly towards the earth castle ahead. He heard a dark-faced man say that the floors in the earth castle were paved with silver, which was a rip off of his mother's wealth.

However, the team of refugees behind them grew longer and longer, moved slower and slower, and gradually separated from their carriages. In the end, only a dozen men were still following.

"Long Jiu, go and see what's going on."

"Monk, ask Da Wa and the others to follow Long Jiu closely."

Li Hengqu watched Long Jiu through the screen. If he encountered any danger, he would be able to detect and protect it immediately.

Long Jiu walked up to the dozen men who had not left the team and asked:
"Uncles, why don't the people behind you follow us?"

The dozen or so men were silent and didn't speak, their expressions were like: Isn't this asking questions knowingly?

Long Jiu was not annoyed and continued to ask: "Brother Li said he would give everyone a good meal. This promise has not changed, but they have to keep up."

A man with a dark face finally spoke.

"Your brother asked me about the situation of the local nobles before, and also asked me which family had the most money and the most food. I didn't think much about it at the time, so I told him one by one."

"I said that Gaojiabao is the richest squire in the local area. His family has a lot of money and food. Who would have thought that your brother would bring us here."

"Now everyone understands that your brother's so-called giving everyone food is because of Gaojiabao's attention."

"So everyone doesn't dare to step forward?" Long Jiu probably understood the situation.

"Do you know how deep the influence of the Gao family is in the local area? The ancestors of the Gao family once served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Since then, every generation of the Gao family has entered the court as officials."

"It has been operating like this for more than a hundred years. Not to mention ordinary people like us, even the local officials and gentry are careful to curry favor with them."

Li Hengqu listened to the black-faced man's words and understood the concerns of this group of people. After the robbery, he could pat his butt and leave, but they would definitely be retaliated against afterwards.

"I only ask you three questions." Long Jiu said with a serious expression, "First, have they ever oppressed you?"

The black-faced man and a dozen other men suddenly became excited.

"Why don't you bully me? All my land has been robbed by them."

"Because I couldn't repay the loan shark, the Gao family not only dragged my mother to death, but also took away my ten-year-old sister."

"My son passed the exam, but he has not yet been replaced as an official. It is the Gao family that has been allocating the quota to his relatives."

……

Everyone talked about their tragic experience of being bullied by the Gao family.

"Second, is the Gao family living better than you?"

"What kind of problem is this? The vicious dogs raised by the Gao family eat more meat every day than we have eaten in months."

"Thirdly, do you want to fuck him?"

Ahem, cough, cough, Li Hengqu couldn't control his emotions for a moment after hearing Long Jiu's last question. He had never seen such a side of this girl before. Could it be that she was led by Gerou?

The dozen or so old men also looked at each other, not knowing how to reply.

"You are afraid, that's why they bully you. If you are not afraid anymore, then they are the ones who are afraid." Li Hengqu walked to Long Jiu's side at some point.

"We really want to fuck him, but there is no way we, hundreds of unarmed old farmers, can break into this Gaojiabao."

"You may not know that King Chuang's men led [-] soldiers and horses and besieged Gaojiabao for several days. They suffered heavy losses, but they failed to defeat it."

Li Hengqu raised his eyebrows, I should be more effective than three thousand soldiers and horses.

"Don't worry about this, I will take care of it myself. Do you have any other concerns?"

"I heard that the Gao family has surrendered to the Tatars, and it is now rumored that the Tatar army is heading south, so..." "It's okay, they have the Tatars as their backers, and we have Mr. Yishi as our backers."

"Lord Yi Hao?"

"Lord Yishi is a very warm-hearted god. He has saved many of our lives, and he will definitely help you too." Long Jiu shouted.

"...We have been following you to see that your brother is not like a random person, so we still have some expectations. But you said that you rely on illusory gods. Isn't this amusement for us? ?”

After saying this, the black-faced man stood up and left. A dozen other people also stood up, bowed their hands to Li Hengqu, thanked him for the food he had provided earlier, and then turned around and left.

"you······"

Li Hengqu grabbed Long Jiu.

"If praying to the gods is useful, they won't do this, so it is understandable that they are angry."

"Then do we still want to enter Gaojiabao?"

"Come in, why don't you come in? Haven't you heard that the Gao family has a hundred years of foundation? They must be extremely rich. Damn it!"

"Brother Li..." Long Jiu blushed a little. It turned out that the curse words he just said were heard, "What about these farmers?"

"Don't worry, they will be back soon."

Li Hengqu climbed into the carriage again, then rolled up the curtains and said to Long Jiu: "Try throwing a stone at that Gaojiabao."

Although Long Jiu was a little confused, he still followed the instructions.

She picked up a pebble and threw it in the direction of Gaojiabao. However, her strength was too weak and the pebble fell after a distance of about twenty meters.

However, the moment the pebbles fell to the ground, there was a bang, shaking the surrounding leaves.

Long Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the master seemed quite free at first, and he really could take care of everything.

The dozen or so old farmers who had not gone far were startled. They turned around and saw a few hundred meters away. Part of the Gaojiabao city wall had collapsed. People were floating on the wall, panicking and choosing their way.

Long Jiu threw another stone at Gaojiabao, and the same scene happened again. This time, these old farmers saw it clearly. A huge fist seemed to appear out of thin air and hit the city wall hard.

They hurriedly ran back to the carriage and asked which god was showing off.

"I have said before, Master Yi is a warm-hearted god and will definitely help us." Long Jiu said in a cheerful tone.

"The big fist that hit the city wall just now belongs to the Lord Yi Shi you said?"

"Of course!" Long Jiu said proudly.

"How about you try too?" Li Hengqu's voice came from the carriage.

"Can we also summon gods?" The black-faced man couldn't believe it.

"Try it and you'll know."

The black-faced man picked up a stone, hesitated for a moment and threw it in the direction of the castle.

thump...

Another part of the wall of Gaojiabao was smashed down, and the dust almost obscured the view.

The dark-faced man stared blankly ahead, still unable to believe what he just saw.

"Did the gods just respond to me?"

When the other men saw this, they didn't care about anything else. They picked up stones and threw them at Gaojiabao...
