Chapter 179: Try to outsmart
These people had a nice idea. Xia Shengsheng originally thought that they wanted to lure most of the people out and then attack the village directly.
I didn't expect that he wanted to disguise himself as a villager, sneak in and cooperate with the outside forces!
Not only do they want to take over their village, but they also want to rob all the women from several nearby villages. This is so hateful!
After hearing his description, others suddenly felt that the deaths of those two people were not unjust.
It would be fine if they just robbed their silver and grain, but they even wanted to rob their wives and daughters. Which man with blood in his veins could not tolerate this?
At this moment, they all clenched the knives in their hands, wishing they could just go up and stab all these people to death.
“Tie up those who are still alive and gag them.
Keep this person!"
Most of these people were not brave enough. After seeing people around them die one after another, they endured the pain in their bodies and dared not say a word, for fear that Xia Shengsheng and others would suddenly have a whim and send them to see the King of Hell.
When he heard that he was going to be tied up, he felt even more relieved.
Thinking about it in my heart.
Tie it up well, tie it up well!
Tying them up means their lives are no longer in danger. If you want to kill them, who would go to the trouble of tying them up?
Xia Shengsheng asked Liu Er to describe the location of the bandit's lair in detail. After making sure that Ma Da knew it, he said to Ma Da:
"Brother Ma, go back first and find Tao Siyuan. Ask him to go with you to report to the police. Don't go to Niutou Town.
Niutou Town is small and understaffed, and the mayor of Niutou Town is too lazy to get involved in such matters.
The Tao family has close ties with Ping'an County Magistrate Guo. If we go to Ping'an County and tell Magistrate Guo about the specific situation here, I think he will know what to do! ! "
"it is good……"
Is Tao Siyuan familiar with Ping'an County Magistrate Guo? She doesn't know, but Xia Shengsheng has heard Tao Wuji talk about it before.
He has known Ping'an County Magistrate Guo for six or seven years and they have close contacts.
This County Magistrate Guo was not an honest official, but he was not a parasite in the court either.
There are still some ways to get practical things done.
People like him should have been promoted a long time ago, but they just didn't have the opportunity.
Moreover, County Magistrate Guo was indeed looking for an opportunity for promotion.
These 100+ bandits came at the perfect time!
The previous waves of bandits were captured or chased away, and all of it became the credit of the magistrate of Wuan County, who was farther away.
County Magistrate Guo didn't get any benefits at all, so this time he could do him a favor and also keep the area peaceful so that people don't panic.
After Ma Da left, Xia Shengsheng looked at the remaining people. She was not worried about her own people, as they would definitely listen to her arrangements.
But the villagers are different. I don’t know if they will listen to me, or if they have the courage to listen to me!
"What I'm about to do may be dangerous. You can choose to follow me or go back to the village now!"
Xia Shengsheng did not clearly indicate what she was going to do?
But when everyone heard Xia Shengsheng say this.
Suddenly I felt a sense of common understanding and completely understood what Xia Shengsheng meant!
"I won't leave. I want to follow you and destroy the bandit's lair!"
"I won't leave either. I still want to rescue Brother Ma Kui and Brother Zheng."
"We can't leave. Our eldest brother is still with the bandits. We don't know what happened to him. We have to follow you!"
No one suggested going back to the village, and no one felt scared at this moment.
It seems that those selected are all brave people.
After confirming everyone's opinions, Xia Shengsheng nodded.
Let the man who was just called Liu Er take them to the bandit's lair.
"Tell me your deployment and the location of the people in our village.
I want to make it clear in advance, don't tell us lies, otherwise even if we die here today, the soldiers will arrive soon, and you will die by then."
Xia Shengsheng's tone was full of threats. Liu Er shook his head like a rattle and kept saying, "I'm definitely not lying. Don't worry, heroes. As long as you leave me a way out, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
In fact, Xia Shengsheng chose the right person.
This wave of bandits all know some simple moves, and some are very ruthless in fighting.
It is obvious at first glance that they are not ordinary people, nor are they a group that has just been assembled recently.
In fact, they were all deserters brought out by the boss.
Moreover, most of them were recruited during the imperial court's conscription at the beginning of this year.
These people were not willing to be soldiers in the first place, and when war broke out, the court placed all the new soldiers in the northwest, making them serve as vanguard soldiers and clearly send them to their deaths.
In this situation, unless you are a fool, who would be willing to be the scapegoat?
So, after several months of deployment, when their boss was sent out on a mission, they didn't expect that he would actually escape with more than 100 people.
And fled to the vicinity of this mountain village.
Their leader found out that there had been several waves of bandits nearby, but they were either dealt with by the imperial court or driven away.
Moreover, the villages nearby are so poor that people can barely make ends meet, so they didn't want to set up camp here.
But he also learned that the most prosperous Kaoshan Village here had never been conquered by bandits from beginning to end, and he couldn't help feeling competitive.
That's why we found an inconspicuous place in the mountains and set up camp.
If you are afraid of a strong attack, it will be a waste of manpower.
Therefore, they send people to watch Kaoshan Village every day, just to be able to sneak in, and then cooperate with the outside forces. Not only will they not lose any manpower, but they can also let people know how powerful they are!
And this Liu Er joined their team later.
Some time ago, when the imperial court was recruiting soldiers and collecting silver again, he was chosen by his family to serve in the military.
But he ran away halfway and happened to meet this gang, so he joined them. Therefore, he didn't have a deep relationship with them. At this time, he didn't feel anything about betraying his brothers in order to save his life!
Xia Shengsheng asked Liu Er to lead the way, not because he wanted to take more than 20 people with him to eliminate those bandits.
He wasn't so stupid as to let his people die in vain.
There are 152 people minus the 23 people just mentioned, and there are still 129 people in the village.
There are so many people, and they are all skilled men who have served in the army for a year. Nothing great can be accomplished by relying on just a few of them.
But Xia Shengsheng's only advantage was that he had a few packets of knockout drugs that he had obtained from Doctor Zhao.
It wasn't smooth sailing. Xia Shengsheng greeted Doctor Zhao, but before Doctor Zhao could even answer whether to give it to Xia Shengsheng, Xia Shengsheng had already taken it!
If you can outsmart the people in the mountain village, of course you should do so.
If we can't outsmart them, we can only watch them, try not to let them escape, and wait for the arrival of the officers and soldiers.
