Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 567

The manors outside the west city are all the Zhuangzi of the rich and powerful families in the capital, covering a large area and large in scale. Many families raise horses in the Zhuangzi outside the city, which requires a large land.

Since it is the place where the powerful and wealthy families of the capital are located, and it is outside the city, the government servants from Shuntian Mansion and other places will naturally not come to troublesome people. In a sense, this place is also a place where there is no law.

Whose family is the Zhuangzi of a certain place, who is related to a certain place, and the intricate relationship, no one can figure it out. After a long time, the common people and officials know that this place cannot be offended, but whoever is really confused is confused.

Five miles out of the west city, there are always people along the road, and there are quite a few prosperous places. After all, it is around the capital. Although it is outside the city, it has a different style from other places.

Six miles away from the city gate, just [-] steps south of the official road from the capital to Xuanfu, there is a Zhuangzi covering an area of ​​about [-] mu.

The [-]-acre Zhuangzi can only be called a courtyard in this area. It is really nothing, but it is well-built, with high walls and deep yards, and stacked houses. Take a break, and don't expect to be successful at all.

Recently, a group of people came to live in this Zhuangzi. They are all strong men with a Shanxi accent. Except for wandering in the city occasionally, they just stay in the Zhuangzi and do not come out. This is a bit strange.

People who come to the capital from other places can't wait to stay in the city every day. There are so many beautiful and interesting things in the capital in this world. You may not be able to see them all in half a month. Besides, these people are still very lively young people. If you don't go to the capital, there are a few ladies with half-closed doors near the Zhuangzi. There are wineries and dice shops. It's good to come out to have fun, but I don't see them doing anything.

Weirdness is weirdness, just look at the weirdness of the big family, and it might be a disaster if it gets involved. A few days ago, someone in the city came to ask, and the young man next door talked a lot. He told that person about this, and got a lottery of three silver coins. He bought wine and bought meat, but when he returned home, he was slapped several times by his father and scolded him bitterly.

Today, another hundred or ten people came to the city, driving two carts and riding horses, all of them were weird, and coming from the official road, there is a main road, but they came around from the village. Everyone stay away!

**********
"There are four secret sentries outside the house, and the rest of the people are staying in the house."

A man wearing a black cotton padded jacket and a felt hat askew said in a low voice, this man still had a shoulder pole under his feet, he looked like a street peddler.

"Chen Laoliu and his brothers have been here for three days, and they all figured it out!"

Lu Wancai, who was wearing a scribe's green robe, sat on a wooden bench and said in a deep voice. There are silent men inside and outside the house. Wang Tong put his hands behind his back at the table and asked:
"How many people are there?"

"I'm ashamed. I stared here for a few days and no one came in or out. It's just that the secret whistle outside is constantly changing. The villain is asking questions at the meat and vegetable side. It is estimated that there are about 70 to 80 people inside."

Wang Tong nodded. General Tan was also wearing a padded robe beside him, just like a businessman. When he saw the man going down, he couldn't help but whispered:

"Master, these people sent their subordinates to take it as well. Why take the risk yourself, the master also knows that everyone is watching closely now. If anyone finds out, it will be troublesome!"

Wang Tong waved his hands in all directions, except for Li Wenyuan, Lu Wancai and the generals of the Tan family, everyone in the room bowed and retreated. After closing the door, Wang Tongcai said:
"These people inside are all elites trained in frontier soldiers. If Shuntian Mansion and South Street Jinyiwei want to move them, they must ask for help from other places. If outsiders are invited, it will alarm too many people. We should handle this matter by ourselves. Alright, and these people can't see the light, I want to ask some questions face to face."

Having said that, the others were silent, Wang Tong took off the padded robe casually, and said:
"Put on the armor and prepare to do it, let's go out!"

The cotton robe outside was bloated, but because of the plate armor inside, Wang Tong was only wearing a breastplate and wrist guards, and taking off the cotton robe was nothing more than a helmet.

There was clanking in the yard, and everyone was silently arranging armor and weapons. When Wang Tong walked out of the house, he had already prepared himself.

"Tan Gong led the three people and shot all the secret sentries. Master Lu, your police officers and the Jinyi guards on South Street are blocking the way back. The others come with me!!"

Simple arrangement, the following are all agreed in a deep voice, a few people walked out quickly, Wang Tong led the people to the front of the cart, greeted back and forth, and said:
"Everyone push together, hurry up!"

It was freezing cold, and the ground was hardened by the frozen iron. The oxen and horses in front were pulling the cart, so it was quite convenient to move the cart, not to mention someone pushing and assisting it, so it went even faster.

This area is not big at all, and they walked fast, and they arrived at the gate of the Zhuangzi in a while, and it was not too long since they ordered Tan Gong and the others to clear the secret whistle.

Pushing the cart all the way to the front of the village, the sentry at the gate of the village found out. While shouting in panic, they turned around and ran into the gate.

"Unload the cattle!! Hurry up!!!"

Wang Tong also shouted loudly, the soldiers in front quickly untied their saddles and bridles, Wang Tong and his men supported the sides of the cart, while Tan Gong and several archers stood behind the cart.

The animals pulling the cart in front were unloaded, and the cloth covering the cart was torn away, revealing a rather thick wooden stake, which was nailed to the cart by a wooden wedge. Wang Tong roared:
"Big guy pushes hard towards the door!!"

The people supporting the cart roared in unison, pushing forward together with force, creaking, and the cart slid forward, rushing faster and faster.

There were also people yelling and yelling inside the wall. When there were dozens of steps away from the gate of the courtyard, several people stood up on the wall, holding bows and arrows in their hands.

On Wang Tong's side, Tan Gong and others who were following the car ran out all at once. They had already raised their bows and arrows, stood still a little, and shot directly towards the wall.

Tan Gong's side had already prepared, but the people on the wall didn't know that there were already people waiting below. The action on this side was not done yet, and the arrows from below had already shot up. Hearing the screams from the top of the wall, he had already fallen down.

The cart pushed by Wang Tong and others was getting faster and faster, and it hit the gate heavily. In this short period of time, the people inside may not find anything if they want to find something to resist it.

"Clang!!" There was a loud noise, and several "clicks" were heard inside. The door latch and supporting things were also broken by the impact, and the door opened.

As soon as the door opened, everyone shrank their heads, and the two people in front held shields in both hands and rushed forward.

There was a sound of "whoosh", several arrows were either nailed to the shield, or flew over the heads of Wang Tong and the others, but the people inside gave up a certain distance and did not block the door.

Sure enough, they were experienced elites. Blocking the door would only increase the casualties, but if there was room, they could fight. The two people in front rushed in with big shields, and the people behind followed suit.

The sound of Wang Tong fighting in the yard on the cart has already sounded, but Wang Tong unhurriedly took a rucksack bag from the cart and hung it on his chest, fastened it with a rope and the leather buckle of the armor, and tidied it up a little. , strode into the courtyard.

Although the courtyard is spacious, once you enter the gate of the house, there are two side doors. There are only a few interfaces connected to the backyard. If you want to get in, you have to break through these openings.

Otherwise, if the front is blocked and they climb over the wall through the back door or other places, it will be a failure. Wang Tong understands this reason, and the other party also understands it.

As soon as I entered the gate, there were more than a dozen people blocking there, shouting and fighting fiercely. Here, long soldiers were used, and the opponent leaned together and stabbed randomly with spears.

"Tan Gong led the archers to the room and the wall!!"

The archers entered the yard for fear of accidental injury, so they dared not shoot arrows there. After entering the room, the field of vision and angle were much wider. Wang Tong was flanked by General Tan and Li Wenyuan, each holding a spear as usual.

Wang Tong kept walking, and walked straight to the place where the shouting was the most intense. He raised both hands, each holding a short gun, and shouted:
"Get out of the way!!"

Two soldiers of the Tiger's Might Army were wounded, but the Tiger's Mighty Army was wearing armor, and the thieves in the yard were forced to retreat step by step before they had time to prepare, but if they entered the house, it would be troublesome due to the terrain.

But after all, they have gained the advantage. Let them get out of the way at this time. Everyone is confused, but the military order is like a mountain, and they subconsciously dodge to both sides.

The dozen or so thieves blocking the door suddenly felt the pressure loosen in front of them. Seeing the people dodging away, they were about to press over, but saw three people coming to the front, and the young man in armor in the middle leveled the firecracker in his hand.

There was no match to ignite the fire, could it be a misfire? Several thieves felt that the opportunity was at hand, they roared and rushed forward, and faintly heard the sound of turning and beating in the noise of the courtyard.

There were two loud "bang bang" sounds, the revolving wheel ignited and fired the short gun, and the two thieves in front of them were hit straight, a blood hole was opened in their chest, and they fell back directly.

As soon as the thieves met each other, two of them died, but they didn't retreat. After all, they had rich experience. Instead, they took advantage of the situation and rushed forward when the opponent had no weapons in their hands.

Wang Tong threw out the two guns in his hand, but he took out two short guns from the bag with both hands, and pulled it again, the wheel fired, so naturally there was no need for a matchlock.

With a sound of "touch", one thief was hit in the head, half of his face collapsed, and he turned over directly. The other thief trembled, but nothing happened. A short gun misfired. It's a dash.

Wang Tong was not in a hurry, he took two steps back, threw out the short gun again, took out two more guns from his girdle, pulled it to fire, after the sound, two more people were killed.

No matter how desperate and brave the thieves blocking the entrance of the lobby were, they were frightened by the firecrackers that were drawn out one after another. Seeing Wang Tong's hand in the bag pocket again, they each shouted and turned around and ran away.

This time, Wang Tong took out a dagger from his pocket, cut the rope connecting the bag and the armor, lowered his head, picked up a spear, and shouted:
"Get in!!"

One-sided dummy pockets, think about the backpack hanging in front of the body, a short firearm about three kilograms, good workmanship, and a lot lighter.
