Chapter 104: Everyone Finds Their Own Ways
"Two hundred bandits pretended to be villagers, and their leader was General Lu, who hid their weapons in the Shuiling Temple."
The handwriting was very sloppy, and it was obvious that it was written in a hurry.
He Lingchuan sniffed the paper and smelled the smell of rust: "It's blood."
The few words were easy to understand, but the content was very terrifying:
The villagers were pretended to be bandits, and their leader was called General Lu, and they hid their weapons in the Shuiling Temple.
Mrs. Ying gasped and grabbed He Chunhua and whispered: "Master!"
She was panicked and did not hide it.
Are they really so unlucky that they occasionally stayed in the wild and went straight into a wolf's den?
This information was very explosive. He Lingchuan saw that both his father and brother looked very serious, and his eyes turned: "Dad, why don't we strike first! There are only 200 bandits, let's grab our weapons and kill them!"
"Stupid!" He Chunhua glared at him, "She said 200, so it's 200? She said they are bandits, so they are bandits? Can the words of a village woman be counted?"
He turned to his personal guard Zhao Qinghe and said: "You sneak into the Shuiling Temple, if there are weapons hidden, check the number."
Zhao Qinghe nodded and pushed the door open.
This man is of medium build and appearance, and he is really ordinary in the crowd. If He Chunhua hadn't selected him into the guards, He Lingchuan would never have seen this person.
Uncle Hao was not there, He Chunhua gave him such an important matter to do, which shows that he knows him and trusts him.
He Lingchuan once again found that he knew too little about his father.
Madam Ying whispered, "I think the eyes of that surnamed Lu are full of murderous intent, he really doesn't look like a good person!"
He Lingchuan thought, you just wanted to go to Shuangyuetan with someone.
But he didn't have the courage to say this.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Qinghe came back with a very ugly face: "The guard of the temple went to pee, I took the opportunity to sneak in and see, there were several boxes hidden under the altar and in the inner room, covered with cloth curtains, full of knives and axes, roughly 140 to 50, sharpened, killed people, and full of blood!"
This can prove Zhu's blood letter. After all, how could a village that farms and fishes have so many murder weapons?
Zhao Qinghe said again: "By the way, the Shuiling tablet was indeed broken in half."
Madam Ying's face turned pale: "If you are a bandit, why didn't you flee when you saw the officers and soldiers, but pretended to be a villager and stayed?"
This is also the question of everyone present.
There are really too many mysteries in Xianling Village.
"No good intentions." He Yue looked at his father and brother, "Zhu said there were 200 bandits, no wonder there are so many strong men in this village."
"They are unwilling to make it public, obviously waiting for an opportunity to attack." He Lingchuan's face changed slightly, and he asked his parents, "Have you ever drunk water in this room?"
"As soon as I entered the door, the owner of this room handed the adults water. I asked him to pour the heavy fire and monitor the whole process." The housekeeper Lao Mo said, "The maid is cooking in the back, and I am also watching in the back kitchen, there should be no problem."
He Chunhua pointed to the blood letter and said, "What I care about is this, is 'General Lu' a person's name, or does it specifically refer to a general with the surname Lu?"
The meanings of the two are very different.
There are all kinds of people in the world. The bandit leader is addicted to power and likes others to call him a general. This is not too...
Pooh, it's just wrong.
"There is only one way to know." He Lingchuan stood up, "I'll go find Zhu."
"She must be under surveillance too." Madam Ying asked curiously, "How are you going to find her?"
"You can find her by taking a walk. The village is so small, how long will it take to walk from east to west?" He Lingchuan smiled, "Besides, I remembered which house she entered before. It's not too far from here, just a dozen straw houses away."
This kid, if you say he is meticulous, he is usually careless; if you say he is careless, he can even remember where the young lady lives. Madam Ying could only sigh: "Be careful!"
She rarely showed her concern for He Lingchuan, and the latter nodded with a warm feeling in his heart for no reason.
He Yue said, "These people are not moving. They either want to poison us or they want to attack us while everyone is asleep in the second half of the night! It's late at night. We might as well take the initiative and capture Lu Han first."
He Lingchuan waved his hand: "Be patient and wait for me to come back."
No one was in the mood to eat now. Only He Lingchuan was eating like flying, eating rice and vegetables, and eating happily. After the cruel bloody battle in the dream, he felt that his mentality to deal with crises was much more stable.
Mrs. Ying sighed: "You can still eat." This child is really bold.
"Maybe you will do a big job later. How can you have the strength if you don't eat enough?" He Lingchuan ate it up in less than half a cup of tea, then wiped his mouth and stood up: "I'm going. If I'm late, something will happen."
He Chunhua looked at his back and nodded, sighed again, and was about to ask his wife and children to continue eating when he was informed that Zeng Feixiong was here.
As the leader of the personal guard, Zeng Feixiong had to come to report on his work regularly.
He was indispensable to the incident tonight, so He Chunhua immediately called Zeng Feixiong in.
¥¥¥¥¥
Zhu's house was in the west corner of the village, not close to where He Chunhua and his wife were staying.
Her husband died in an unclear way, and the mother-in-law went crazy when she woke up, crying and laughing. Of course, the bandits couldn't leave a crazy woman in the village to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, so they killed her with a knife and threw her body into the lake, leaving her to accompany her son.
The father-in-law was in a state of turmoil and was taken away with his young child.
So, Zhu was the only one left in her family.
She walked back with her head down, and two officers and soldiers came over and asked her for a glass of water.
These soldiers live in the barn, unlike the officers who live in houses, so it is not so convenient to drink some hot water. He Chunhua has asked the village chief to arrange water for everyone, but it has not been prepared yet.
Drinking raw water can easily cause illness, so it is best to boil it. Only drink raw water when you are in the wild and have to.
"Wait a minute, I'll go boil water." She took some clean water to the back kitchen to boil it, and the officers and soldiers said that it was not so troublesome. You have to wait to drink hot water, and ordinary people don't have the leisure time.
She would never miss such a good opportunity: "It doesn't matter, I will use it in the evening."
During the waiting period, the officers and soldiers stood in front of the house. Perhaps because of her beautiful appearance, they chatted with her for a few more words, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
But Zhu knew that the bandits around were paying attention to her every move, and it was not a good time to ask for help or hint at this time.
She was secretly anxious, and was thinking about whether there was any roundabout way. There were several urgent whistles not far away. The two officers and soldiers heard the sound and went back to do things, and they didn't even have time to drink water.
Zhu was very disappointed.
At this moment, a man suddenly emerged from the shadow behind the house!
Zhu was so scared that she almost screamed. The man pressed her mouth and nose with great force, and whispered: "Shut up, or I'll break your neck! Do you understand?"
He opened his mouth and his bad breath sprayed on Zhu's face. She looked up and found that the man was a fat man with a face full of flesh.
Zhu nodded quickly.
The fat man let go of his hand: "What were you going to do just now? Did you want to warn the dog official's family?"
"No, no! That's not it!" Zhu shrank her head, "The village chief and his minions have been bullying me. They beat me up three months ago. I, I just wanted to take this opportunity to vent my anger."
