Chapter 105: The officers and soldiers who took advantage of the situation
Dongfang Ying thought about it for a while and said to Fan Wen'an:
"Manager Fan, take half of the people to collect all the money in the village. Move out. If there is one tael of silver left in the village at the end, I will kill one of you.
"The more you have, the more I will kill. If there is not a penny left, I will reward each of you ten." Two pieces of silver, do you understand? "
Fan Wen'an nodded repeatedly and promised that he would not leave a single copper coin behind.
Then he ordered half of the minions and rushed into the village in a hurry. After moving things, several large boxes were carried out one after another and placed in front of Dongfang Ying and the others' horses.
Then they went in again, this time filled with small boxes and packages.
Dongfang Ying glanced around and saw that the big box was filled with white silver, the small box was filled with gold and jade, and the package contained some jewelry.
Lin Xiaofeng felt unbearable and wanted to get off his horse and touch these yellow and white things with his own hands. Dongfang Ying glared at him and Lin Xiaofeng smiled hurriedly:
"I just take a look and don't touch them. "
Dongfang Ying snorted and ignored him. She turned to Fan Wen'an and said:
"Manager Fan, have they all moved out? "
Fan Wen'an quickly asked for credit:
"I have reported back to the heroine, there are many of them, and they have all been emptied. The heroine can check them in person. "
Dongfang Ying smiled and said:
"Forget it, I will believe you. If you work harder, light this bandit's den and burn it down for me.
"Then you each receive the money, get away from me, and never be a bandit again!"
Fan Wen'an was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled. , agreed repeatedly, but then clasped his fists and said:
"Queen Qi, this village cannot be burned at the moment!"
Dongfang Yingxing's eyes widened and she said displeasedly:
"Why can't it be burned? Do you want to wait until we leave and then come back to claim the mountain as king?"
Fan Wen'an quickly knelt down and cried out:
"The villain never meant this, the heroine misunderstood!
"Just because there are still more than ten... folk girls imprisoned in this village, if they are set on fire, they... they will also die in the sea of fire. It's..."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ying was filled with anger, surprise and self-blame. She almost hurt the innocent and shouted loudly:
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Go quickly and release all the imprisoned women! "
Fan Wen'an hesitated and said:
"Well, it's not that we don't want to let them go, but we are afraid... afraid that they will be resentful and seek revenge from us..."
< p> Dongfang Ying said angrily:"So, you people have offended them before?
"It seems we can't keep them, little madman, blow them up! "
Fan Wen'an and other bandits were so frightened that they kowtowed and begged desperately for mercy.
Mingchuan Rongmei persuaded:
"Dongfang, if you have to be merciful, please be merciful. ! They are all strong-blooded men. Your saint Kong also said that "eating and sex are the same". It seems a bit harsh to tell them not to touch women. Let's forget about the past. "
Dongfang Ying was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Mingchuan Rongmei, a Japanese woman, had different ideas and actually justified bandits' bullying of civilian girls. What a shocking statement!
She didn't want to After arguing with Mingchuan Rongmei, he had to change his approach and said:
"Okay, I can give you a chance and not kill you for the time being, but I have to obey the wishes of all the civilian women.
"If they are willing to spare your lives, then let you go; if they are not willing to spare you, then there is nothing I can do about it."
Then he picked up the Fan Wen'an carried his belt like a chicken and rushed into the cottage. Seeing that there were three or four courtyards in the cottage, he asked:
"Where are the women of the people detained?"
Fan Wen'an was a man weighing more than 150 kilograms after all. He was lifted up in the air by the heroine, without any resistance. But he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he trembled and pointed at a stone house in the second yard.
Dongfang Ying threw him to the ground, rode his horse to the side of the stone house, pulled out his sword, aimed at the iron lock on the door and slashed it open, shouting:
"Sisters inside, I'm here to let you go. Come out!"
After a while, someone came out of the house, and then one after another they walked out timidly. More than ten people came out.
Dongfang Ying saw that these people were disheveled and had messy hair, but it was obvious that they were all young women. Not only were their feet bare, but what was even more disgusting was that their arms and wrists were tied behind their backs.
All of them looked at Dongfang Ying and Fan Wen'an lying on the ground with dull eyes, without saying a word.
Dongfang Ying felt sour and hurriedly got off her horse and said to them:
"Sisters, I am here to save you, you don't have to be afraid.
"I'll untie all your ropes and you can go home. ”
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
As he spoke, he stepped forward and used the blade of his sword to cut off the ropes of their arms one by one, and counted exactly fifteen of them.
At this time, one of the women combed her hair, saluted Dongfang Ying Wanfu and said:
"Thank you so much, Heroine, for saving me. I will be forever grateful to you. "
Dongfang Ying held her arm and said with a smile:
"You're welcome. My younger sister, Dongfang Ying, what do I call my elder sister? ”
The woman said:
"Back to Dongfang Nvxia, the little girl's name is Guo Yunli. She is from Chengguan, the eastern suburb of the county."
Dongfang Ying saw that she spoke well and had a pretty and upright face. , was very fond of it, and said:
"It turns out to be Sister Guo. We have to pass through Nan'an County this time. Why don't you just follow us and take your sister home on the way? What do you think?"
p>Guo Yunli said happily:
"This little girl wants it all."
Dongfang Ying thought for a while, pointed to Fan Wen'an on the ground and said:
"Sister Guo, do you recognize this person?"
Guo Yunli glanced at Fan Wen'an, gritted her teeth and said:
"I recognize him even if I peel off his skin! This is the person with the hand He kidnapped me up the mountain...
"That night, this beast... just... ruined me..."
Without saying a word, Dongfang Ying held her sword upside down. He stabbed Fan Wen'an in the back and pinned him to the ground. Guo Yunli and several others died just as Fan Wen'an had time to shout "Sparse!" The woman clapped her hands and thanked Dongfang Ying, who rescued her and avenged her.
After that, Dongfang Ying took the girls out of the village and came to the group of minions and asked them if they were willing. Spare the lives of the bandits?
I don’t think the girls will stop killing people to vent their anger. They will be lucky to be able to go home and reunite with their families.
Guo Yunli also said that these little bandits are not. Everyone deserves to be killed, but it is only for the sake of survival that they become bandits. Many of them do not do it voluntarily.
Dongfang Ying sighed and just did it, letting each little bandit receive a piece of silver. They dispersed, and the other imprisoned women also received five ingots of silver each and went down the mountain to go home.
Only Guo Yunli stayed and did not leave. Dongfang Ying promised to send her home, so naturally she would not. Breaking the promise.
In the end, Dongfang Ying asked Lin Xiaofeng to set fire to Qingsong Village. At the same time, she found a carriage from the village, loaded the remaining gold and silver treasures, and drove it herself, while Guo Yunli rode her white horse. .
From the pine forest, we came to a hill full of rhododendrons. This was the place where Dongfang Ying almost fell down and committed suicide.
Driving. After the carriage went down the slope, they took some unburned wood from the pine forest and lit a few fires under the hill.
Watching the flames go up the trees and shrubs on the cliff. After devouring pieces of drunken sheep flowers, everyone rode their horses and whipped their whips, crossed the official road of Meihua Ridge, and chased the convoy in front.
As soon as they passed the pass on the ridge, they saw a flat place at the bottom of the slope. There was a row of carriages and horses and many passers-by.
Mingchuan Rongmei saw it in front, so she turned back and said to Dongfang Ying:
"Dongfang, it seems that Mrs. Liao and her carriage are parked below. , there are also many civilians, officers and soldiers. ”
Mingchuan Rongmei agreed and galloped away.
Dongfang Ying, Lin Xiaofeng, and Guo Yunli walked slowly downhill to a small pool. The noise of people and horses neighing in front of them could be heard clearly. It seemed that they were blocked by officers and soldiers and could not advance or retreat.
At this moment, Mingchuan Rongmei came towards me on a red horse. When he arrived in front of Dongfang Ying's carriage, he frowned and said:
"You officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are so strange. Serious bandits don't He went to fight, but he intercepted the people here, saying that he wanted to interrogate the bandits and spies to prevent them from invading the county.
"Mrs. Liao's and your belongings have been detained, and the people will not let them go. "
Dongfang Ying raised her eyebrows in anger when she heard this. She stopped the carriage and said to Guo Yunli:
"Sister Guo, come down and let's change. You all stay here." Move, I'll go meet the officers and soldiers for a while. "
Guo Yunli hurriedly slipped off the horse. Dongfang Ying jumped on the horse and rushed towards the crowd in front with a scream.
On this section of the official road, the road was fairly flat. There is a stream on one side and a hillside on the other. There are three or four masonry barracks built on the hillside, and a military flag is erected with the words "Quannan Camp Right Army" vaguely written on it.
People gathered around and whispered. Passers-by heard the sound of hoofbeats behind them like rain, and turned around in a hurry to see a white horse racing against the frost and snow.
On the horse was a girl in purple with a red ribbon on her head and a green sash sword on her back. Whip shouted:
"The bandits in Qingsong Village have been eliminated. Everyone can cross Meihua Ridge safely. Let's go! "
Everyone was dubious after hearing this, and quickly moved out of the way to let the girl pass.
Dongfang Ying made a "whisper", reined in the horse, and said calmly: < /p>
"Brothers and fathers, listen to me. The bandits in Qingsongzhai have been eliminated, and you can travel unhindered on the mountain roads. If you want to go south, please go quickly, and you don't need to be insulted by the officers and soldiers here! ”
