He has been walking in the mountains for a day or two, and now he is not far from the human settlement when he sees a crowd. He can go to replenish supplies and ask about the route by the way
Immediately, Wang Lei ran in the direction of the kitchen smoke with a pedal and legs.
Chapter 16 Kill the good and take the credit
It wasn’t long before Wang Lei went out of the mountains and saw a village with dozens of houses scattered around.
It was Wang Lei who looked at it at this moment and found that something was wrong. The smoke in the village became stronger and stronger, and there was a fire in the village
"No, there’s something wrong."
Wang Lei’s face sank and he guessed that he was afraid that the village had been robbed. It is common for ordinary villages and towns to be invaded by bandits in this era. He often heard that which village was robbed and which village was bloodbath these days.
Since we met Wang Lei, of course, we won’t watch, no matter whether he immediately gets wind, it’s like an arrow hurtling towards the village.
"Forgive me, officer. No one in Li Jiacun really takes refuge in the hairy thief-"
"Don’t fucking talk nonsense. Give a reward to the hairy thief. One person will be rewarded with silver. If the old guy is sensible, he will hand over a few people so that we can get the reward or hum."
This small village outside the mountain is named Li Jiacun. Dozens of people in the village are all surnamed Li. At this moment, more than a dozen armored and arrogant Qing soldiers in Li Jiacun are kneeling in front of the ground with a bun and gray old people begging and kowtowing to the leader of the Qing soldiers.
However, in the face of these poor old people, these soldiers are indifferent, and the leader, the middle-aged soldiers, are even more impatient
"Li Jiacun people who grew up in Wu are virtuous from generation to generation. The tax payment has never been less than one point, and there is no crime. You can’t do this, old man. Please, please."
An old man with wrinkled skin hugged the leader and begged for mercy desperately.
"Stupid things are said to this, but you don’t know that you cowards don’t have the guts to take refuge in long-haired thieves, so I’ll just tell you about village head Bai Li."
The corporal of the Qing army looked at the old man with a smile and put up three fingers. "This time, the court awarded a reward to you. Every village has to hand over three able-bodied men to fill us in. No matter who has a criminal record or not, it matters. The focus is on important people."
Village head litsun blanched. He didn’t recognize the corporal’s meaning, but once the three able-bodied men were handed over, the three fields were doomed.
Everyone knows that the Qing court is lenient to long-haired thieves by catching one and killing one.
It would be a dead end for those three young men to act as long-haired thieves. If Li Cunchang can do such a heartless thing, he can’t agree.
"I don’t know if the guy has seen anyone outside."
The corporal pointed to the darkness outside the village, and a group of troops were all armed with blades. In front of them, there were ten cavalry with strong bearing riding horses.
What is particularly striking is that the Qing soldiers are followed by a series of chains connecting the civilians, who are numb and full of despair and fear.
"Those are-"
Li Cunchang swallowed saliva, and he saw some familiar faces among the group, which turned out to be from the neighboring village.
"You have your Li Jiacun to make people? Zhaojiacun and liu village have all made friends, so I’ll ask you if you will pay them again. "
The corporal looked at litsun village head with poor eyes, and his eyes seemed to bite the tiger and he was full of self-confidence.
Village head litsun looks pale, but in his heart, he gives birth to a little hesitation to face the aggressive corporal, which he can’t bear.
However, even when Li Cunchang hesitated, Wu Chang had no patience to wait.
"Roll the old stuff and spit the old water." Wu Chang kicked Li Cunchang and immediately ordered the Qing soldiers to "arrest people who dare to resist and kill them!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
More than a dozen soldiers responded to the sound and immediately walked towards a wooden house next to it.
"Adults can’t make it!"
