The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 135 Cruel Drama

"It's the second young master! The second young master is dead!"

The miserable situation of Second Young Master Zhong frightened them out of their wits.

These people are all green-skinned idle men in each village. They usually bully the villagers and get some food and drink.

Originally, when they thought about it, the so-called Shangtu Weizi to resist bandits was probably similar to the usual Lila gang fights?
There are a lot of bandits coming from outside, and they are indeed a little scared, but if you think about it, there are quite a lot of them together with the slaves and long-term workers of the Zhong family!

Not to mention the five taels of silver promised by Mr. Zhong.

However, the bloody corpse of Mr. Zhong gave them a blow, and they suddenly understood that this was different from gang fighting. The bandits outside were not the same kind of people as them.

If they are the big evil people running rampant in the countryside, then the bandits outside are evil spirits who kill without blinking an eye!
There was a panic on Tuweizi, and Mr. Bamen also saw it, so he asked someone to bring two more torches to Mr. Zhong so that those people could see more clearly.

By the way...he added another chopping motion with his hand.

The young boy who had just led the way to Zhong's house and was still standing there shivering was unprepared when a bandit behind him picked up a knife and quickly chopped off his head.

The head had rolled far away with a roar, but the other half of the body had not yet fallen down.

The hot blood from the neck spurted out two feet high. It hit an old locust tree in the air, and then fell slowly under the cover of the lush leaves, like a rain of blood.

Mr. Bamen performed these two "dramas" in front of the Zhong family, not because he was idle, nor because he was abnormal.

But bandits often use this trick when committing crimes or kidnapping meat tickets.

This trick is called killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and it is a cruel but very effective psychological shock.

How can anyone who has never seen blood bear this? Their hands and feet will be weak, their defenses will collapse, and they will lose the will to resist.

The situation above Tuweizi was similar to what was expected.

Those young men were so frightened that they could no longer stay on the earthen fence for a second. They turned around and wanted to climb down the ladder.

If you can't find the ladder, you can just jump down...

It seems that the Zhong family's "defense plan" has come to an end before it even begins.

The bandits outside have been working day and night for the past two days and have suffered a lot. At this time, they all cheered like a festival, Zhong family's money! woman! food! It's all theirs now!

Mr. Bamen also waved his fan and smiled. He said to Liu Bagou: "Things are going well. When we go in later, the brothers should use their tricks more brightly and try their best to clean this place." (Meaning) Just look for secret doors and the like to see if there are any hidden treasures)
Liu Bagou did not speak. He looked in another direction in the night sky, which was the direction of the Juma River and the direction of the new city.

Mr. Bamen thought he was worried about the garrison camp opposite, so he just smiled and said: "Don't worry Liu Qianjin, the nearest rope bridge is also more than ten miles away. When those soldiers and dogs catch up, I'm afraid that the whole day will be over." It’s already bright.”

Just as he was speaking, a short and stocky gun leader led two bandits with poles and rushed towards Tuweizi.

They didn't carry a wall-climbing ladder, but they all had a cornice claw.

There is a long hemp rope attached to the back of the cornice claw. It only needs a slight throw to firmly grasp the earth wall.

The remaining bandits were also noisy. Some of them followed them to Tuweizi, while others waited outside the gate, just waiting for someone to jump into the yard and open the bolt for them.

They were very anxious. The more property they grabbed, the more they would divide in the end. Especially beautiful women! The difference between being served first and being served last...the difference is huge.

In the courtyard of the Zhong family.

Zhong Shangshang had just experienced the pain of losing his son, but a greater disaster was ahead of him, and he had no time to feel the sadness.

Seeing that the bandits are about to climb up, but those green-skinned people are scrambling to escape, the anxious people on the clock will go crazy.

While he drove his men, slaves and long-term workers towards the fence without any explanation, he tried his best to stop those green men.

Not to mention the men in his family, the slaves and long-term workers also relied on his Zhong family to make a living.

It’s not easy to find a job that includes food and accommodation these days. Otherwise, why would so many people starve to death outside? What's more, many of their wives and children also live in the Zhong family compound.

They have no choice.

It's different for those green-skinned ones. They can fight with people for five taels of silver, and it doesn't matter if their heads are bloody.

But cutting off the head? Cut open your belly? That definitely won’t work!

Therefore, Zhong's blocking had no effect.

The few people in the family alone cannot defend the earth wall. When the time comes, not only will the family's wealth be unable to be saved, but everyone in the family will also die.

Zhong Shang was anxious and burst into tears. He jumped to his feet and scolded those people: "You useless beasts know how to run away! There are bandits blocking the front and back doors, where can you run away!"

After scolding him, he also knew how to increase the price: "More money! As long as you go to Tuweizi, I will give you more money, an extra ten taels per person!"

Ten taels plus five taels is fifteen taels. There are about twenty idlers here, so the total is more than three hundred taels.

For Zhong Sangshang, who has always been stingy, this is an unprecedented hemorrhage.

The green-skinned men also hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to continue running away.

As for what Mr. Zhong said about being surrounded by bandits outside, where else could they go? Ignore this! In short, just don’t go to Tuweizi and take the initiative to get stabbed!
There were already cornice claws thrown over the earth fence. Some of them fell into the air, and some fell and directly grabbed the earth wall. Then the hemp rope was stretched straight in an instant.

An old servant of the Zhong family stood on the ladder, pointed at the cornice claw and shouted loudly: "Use a kitchen knife! Cut it off quickly!"

After the hemp rope was cut, the screams of bandits immediately came from outside, but soon more cornice claws grabbed the top of the wall, five, eight, a dozen...

It was very easy to cut off the hemp rope, even if the bandits had already pointed their bows and arrows at the wall and started "fire suppression", but the bandits used full-body wooden arrows and bamboo arrows, which were too light and inaccurate. (It’s not easy to get iron on the mountain)

The bad thing is that Mr. Zhong's fence is too big, and there are too few people who can be sent to it. He can chop off one end but not the other.

So soon, bandits appeared from the west wall.

Zhong Shangshang became more and more anxious. At such a critical moment, he suddenly thought of a way.

Don’t those green-skinned people have no care?
Then, how about giving them a wife on the spot?
