Li Gaotong and wanted to "better die than surrender", but Qin Erlang quickly lifted his chin, unable to bite his tongue and committed suicide.
Vice General Miao was shocked by Gao Tong. Seeing that Gao Tong was not dead, he praised Qin Erlang: "Young man is smart, and should be very useful." He saw it all, but it was a pity
that this young man was not their soldier south of the Yangtze River.
Qin Erlang did not say much, he simply clenched his fists at Vice General Miao in response.
Qin Sanlang saw Gu Jinan coming with Zheng Ying, Shangguan Zhuo and the others, walking over with the child in his arms, and handed the child over to Gu Jinan: "Sister An, look up, this is the child that Gao Tong used to threaten us before, he called it Fish boy, you watch over me first, my second brother and I have to help Vice General Lan and the others."
The water bandits in the village had not been completely wiped out, they could not waste any time here.
Gu Jinan wore the soft armor given by the Zheng family, held a knife in his hand, and after hugging the child, he said, "Quickly and carefully." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Erlang, fearing Qin
Erlang would take advantage of his greed, and hug the child.Some of them were involved.
Qin Sanlang nodded and greeted Qin Erlang, the two brothers came back the same way to help Lieutenant Lan and the others, and killed nine and hundreds of old bandits in a short period of time.
These gangsters were completely unafraid of death, more than 80% of the gangsters preferred to be killed rather than surrender, and less than 20 people were arrested after being seriously injured.
The nine elders wanted to escape, but were also captured alive by the brothers from the Qin family.
Luo Wu, Jiang Qi and the others also captured the leader of the four water bandits alive, killed dozens of water bandits, and made great contributions. But Luo Wu, Bantou Yang, and Jiang Qi were all injured, but fortunately not too serious.
General Guo and hundreds of Fucheng defenders also killed many water bandits.
The two places ordered the officers and emissary soldiers, the defenders of He'an Prefecture, the county army and the government employees of Tianfu County, respectively, and the guards of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family to run in the fortress until broad daylight.before the water bandits in the water bandit fortress were cleared, pay clean.
Some of the water bandits who wanted to dive into the water were also shot dead by the officers and soldiers who were on the water.
Then it came time to count the number of people in the defensive fort, and when Deputy Lan reported to General Guo and the others, General Guo and the others were completely shocked.
In this mediocre water bandit village, there were only 737 adult water bandits, and there were also 390 young water bandits born by water bandits.
"The youngest of this group of water bandits was seven years old, and the oldest was twelve years old. According to the rules set by Gao Tong, boys born to Zhaizi water bandits should concentrate on martial arts at the age of seven, and take them into the water to practice at the age of ten. , in this group of water bandits, all those over ten years old seize the boat, the, and there are more than a dozen people who owe me their lives." "Gao, who
not as good as this ferocious beast, it was actually a child soldier! It is very difficult to capture him alive. It was cheap for him, so I had to cut him up and feed him at the dog place. ”General Guo is very angry, he did not do it. I did not expect the water bandit village led by Gao Tong to be so terrifying.
Of course, there was something that made him even more angry.
"In addition to the water bandits, there were four hundred and sixty women in the village. These women were all captured by water bandits from boats passing through the Huai River and from both sides of the Huai River. Everyone is used by water bandits. Those who are beautiful and can be appreciated by water bandits will have a better life, and those who are old and decrepit can only be servants. "
Vice General Ren and Vice General Miao blushed upon hearing this, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. The water bandits committed many crimes, and they had allowed this water bandit village to exist for many years.
Lieutenant Lan did not finish his sentence, and said: "There is also a kind of child in the village called Yuzai. They were born after their biological mother was raped by many water bandits. Since his father is unknown, they have been made mute since childhood, to become slaves in the village ... In fact, they were not even slaves, at most they were personal targets. When the water bandits escaped for their lives last night, they tied these kids up and threatened us with their lives." "The beast, a group of beasts!
" General Guo was so angry that he immediately got up, rushed out of the house, whipped out his horse, and hit the kneeling water bandit. outside, so that the anger in his heart could be counted.
Other than robbing people, there was still a lot of loot in the water bandit fortress Liang Zhifu had brought Ding Tongzhi and his staff to the fort and counted the stolen goods.
I was busy working until the night before I counted my belongings.
Liang Zhifu brought people to count his things, and sighed: "Very rich, very rich." Exists
Is this a water bandit? !
Those who did not know thought it was the warehouse of some large family, and it actually had all kinds of treasures, which was incredible.
It was just that Liang Zhifu was very troubled looking at this property, so he went to ask Zheng Ying to follow up with Guan Zhuo.
Although both of them were young, they should have been called Liang Zhifu's uncle in terms of age, but the Zheng family and Shangguan family behind both of them were huge supporters that even Liang Zhifu couldn't ask for. Liang Zhifu managed to rely on both families, so he naturally respected the eldest granddaughter of the two families.
"It makes sense that prefect Gong and prefect Tan should be responsible for calculating the properties of the water bandit village, but now they are both ..." They will be arrested, so how can they be asked to count the property .
Shangguan Zhuo said: "Prefect Liang need not worry about this matter, just do it with confidence. Grandfather has written a letter so that you take full responsibility for the affairs of government after the suppression of the water bandits. This problem."
This was also one of the things that grandfather wanted to plan for.
In the previous dynastic system of government affairs, there were governors above judges, but the previous dynastic governors were all tyrants. At the end of the previous dynasty, they all rebelled. They had several prefectures under their control, and their strength was a headache.
The first emperor Dachu was born an assassin, and he was very afraid that the Dachu would rebel by the assassins under him one day, he immediately abolished the governorship and allowed the chief officials of each government to act independently.
But grandfather and others were very dissatisfied with the abolition of the governorship, if there were no officials above the prefect to supervise, the local prefect would not be overwhelmed.
Look at this moment, the prefects of Linhe Mansion and Jinling Mansion will be reversed.
After Liang Zhifu heard this, he finally dared to let go and do something.
Prefect Tan was not stupid, he had already learned about the suppression of the water bandit fortress, he had fainted from fear, the people from the department rushed to the mansion and tied them in pairs and threes.
"How dare you tie me up. My home is the Marquis of the capital. You're tired of your job. Hurry up and give me to. umhhh!"
Tan Zhifu had not finished speaking before being wrapped in a cloth ball by the officers and soldiers.
The deputy general who had come to arrest people said: "Prefect Tan, Prefect Gong has sent evidence of your collusion with the water bandits to the capital. Evidence of your collusion with the water bandits was also found in the water bandit village, and the fourth and ninth masters of the water bandits confessed to you It was their support, so don't talk about the Marquis Mansion anymore, please, what you do will be punished by the Nine Clans, and your Marquis Mansion will soon disappear
. , Tan Zhifu rolled his eyes and fainted again.
Prefect Gong was also captured by the officers and soldiers of the commander of the capital Jianghuai, and the water bandit incident completely broke out, causing endless disturbances in the houses of Linhe and Jinling.
Ordinary people scolded two judges and water bandits, and literati and lunatics were even sharper than knives.
No matter how the two governments fought against Yingtian, it had nothing to do with Qin Sanlang and the others.
After they exterminated the water bandits, they only stayed for one day, and left for Tianfu County, He'an Prefecture on the third day.
The news had also spread to Tianfu County, and everyone in the county knew that Zou Xiancheng had colluded with the water bandits, and this time the entire family would not survive.
zou Family.
The daughter-in-law of Zou Yukun brought her son to beg Madam Zou: "Mother-in-law, look at Chengji. This is your most beloved grandson. He's not an adult yet. Would you watch him follow the old man to death?" "Old man
We have harmed us greatly, if you don't make a decision soon, it will be too late!"
Zou Chengji also cried and pleaded with Madam Zou: "Grandmother, grandson, please make peace with grandfather, only in this way can we keep our Fate, scared grandson, woo woo woo ..."
