Chapter 20
After getting the order, Heihu went to Gao Laozhuang. When he appeared at the entrance of the village, someone reported to Gao Youcai.
Gao Huan hurriedly asked someone to gather to protect the yard and notify the villagers. He also asked someone to remove the wooden stakes and door panels from the front yard, so he led a few men to the entrance of the village to greet him.
Soon, everyone met at the glutinous rice dumplings, and Gao Huan asked nervously: "But come to get the food?"
Heihu nodded and said, "I have said that you are ready and we will come and pick it up tomorrow night."
Gao Huan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Gao Laozhuang only prepares food, you can bring people away. Also, don't make any noise when you come here. If the county knows, don't ask us for food in the future."
Li Jiyu was a native bandit. For the government, he was a bandit like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. The government could not tolerate the large gentry and wealthy families who gave the bandits food.
If the transaction is discovered, the government will definitely think that Gao Laozhuang will collude with the enemy, which is a serious crime of beheading.
This is also the reason why Li Jiyu acted at night. If he brought people during the day and was found out by the county, the gentry would not trade with him at all.
"Zhong! Then see you tomorrow night!" After speaking, Heihu clasped his fists and turned around and left, leaving behind a chic back.
Gao Huan's face darkened when Heihu left. He thought that Li Jiyu would blackmail other gentry and would not ask for grain so quickly like Gao Laozhuang, but he didn't expect that he would have it tomorrow night and would not give him any time to prepare.
"Young Master! What should I do?" Li Wu was worried.
Gao Huan waited for the black tiger's figure to walk away before looking at Li Wu resolutely: "Uncle Li, please go to Liu's blacksmith to stare at me!"
Li Wu nodded and cheered up, "Okay!"
Gao Huan said to Li Pingyuan, Yang Shulin, Liu Hui and others again: "Everyone will go to rest. Tomorrow, the Shubiao team and the Gunners team will continue to train."
Everyone's thoughts dispersed, while Gao Huan hurried back to the mansion and came outside Gao Youcai's study.
"Father!" Gao Huan called out.
Gao Youcai didn't sleep, "Come in!"
Gao Huan pushed the door open and saw Gao Yougang and several cousins in the study.
"Fourth Uncle!" Gao Huan called out again, nodded to his cousins again.
Gao Youcai asked, "What do you say to the Tu Ke?"
Gao Huan said truthfully: "Li Jiyu brings people here to get food tomorrow night."
"Come here tomorrow night?" Gao Youcai's heart sterned and his expression became serious.
Gao Huan expressed his judgment, "I originally thought that Li Jiyu would not come so soon to blackmail other big investors, but now it seems that Li Jiyu's blackmail may not be very smooth."
Gao Youcai looked at everyone and asked in a deep voice: "Tu Kou will come tomorrow night. What do you think?"
At this time, Gao Huan walked to the table without waiting for everyone to speak, "Father, I'll use paper and pen."
Gao Huan spread a piece of rice paper on the table, then quickly outlined a few strokes on it with a brush.
Gao Youcai frowned, "What is this?"
"This is the topographic map of Zhuangzi!" Gao Huan was surprised. It was so obvious that everyone could not see it.
Looking at everyone's expressions, OK, this is not the point!
Gao Huan held a brush and pointed to the circles and lines on the paper and said, "Father, Uncle Fourth, this is Gaojiabao. This line is the street connecting the fort gate. There are villagers' houses on both sides."
After such an explanation, everyone understood that it was indeed like that.
Gao Huan said with a little excitement: "Tomorrow night, the people of Li Jiyu come in from the entrance of the village and follow the street to the front door of the fort to load grain. We can let the villagers ambush the roofs on both sides of the street in advance, and let the guards ambush the entrance of the village. Tuko people will most likely be alert when entering the village, but after getting the grain, they will definitely put down their guard. At this time, when they walk on the street, the villagers who ambush the roofs on both sides can first throw the shuttle bids, smash stones, and beat Tuko ones, which are not in a way. Then the gunmen in the fort and the ambushing guards at the entrance of the village will emerge from both ends of the street, and they will definitely wipe out Tuko who are taking grain."
After Gao Huan talked about his plan, he looked at Gao Youcai and others.
He divided the villagers into the Shuttle Team and the Gunners Team for targeted training in order to realize this plan.
The streets in the village are relatively narrow, and they can barely pass by two carriages. The gunmen formed a formation, holding a spear more than ten feet long, and rolled forward. The spear forest formed was enough to block the streets.
At this time, the spear was forward, and villagers smashed stones and bid for javelins on both sides. There was no reason why they couldn't win.
Seeing that they were still thinking, Gao Huan couldn't help but ask, "What do you think my father thinks?"
Gao Youcai said: "If Li Jiyu had not entered Zhuangzi, what if there were any local bandits outside Zhuangzi to help?"
Generally speaking, when a thief steals things, he will steal one person, and keep watch outside. When two people go in together, it is easier to be taken away in one fell swoop.
Li Jiyu must have such concerns, so Gao Youcai's consideration is not unreasonable.
However, Gao Huan also thought of this, so he picked up the brush and drew on the paper: "If Li Jiyu saw the turtle gangs who came to collect food outside the turtle gangs and suffered an ambush, he would definitely lead the turtle gangs outside the turtle gangs into the turtle gangs to rescue."
Gao Youcai nodded and looked at Gao Huan and said, "How do you deal with it?"
Gao Huan stood up straight and said murderously: "This requires contacting the county and the surrounding big families, so that they can lie outside the village. If Li Jiyu dares to enter the village, then the county's soldiers can immediately come out from behind, surrounded Li Jiyu, and completely deal with this local bandit!"
Gao Youcai narrowed his eyes. Li Jiyu killed Tang Yuanwai and Liu Yuanwai, which had already violated the taboo of Dengfeng gentry. The landlord and old wealth would not allow it. A land gangster who killed big families and robbed big families threatened their safety.
Gao Youcai nodded slightly and said to Gao Yougang: "The fourth brother, go to the county to ask for help, and let the county magistrate send troops tomorrow night to support!"
Gao Yougang had a calm face, "Zhong! I will come back with reinforcements tomorrow night."
Gao Huan said: "Uncle Fourth brings more helpers, and there is Li Jiyu's eyeliner outside the village."
Gao Yougang waved his hand, "Don't worry, I swim across the river and go to the county on the east bank."
After speaking, Gao Yougang left the study room. Gao Youcai was worried and gave a wink to a junior. The man hurriedly followed Gao Yougang out and went to Dengfeng County together.
"It's all gone! Have a good rest tonight and fight with the Tuko tomorrow." After the two left, Gao Youcai waved his hand.
A group of men from the Gao family left the study room, and Gao Huan was about to go out, but Gao Youcai called him and said, "Save it in the warehouse, save some use!"
Gao Huan not only took the flour in the warehouse, but also took a lot of bacon. Wang complained about this, and Gao Youcai felt very distressed.
Gao Huan had already taken out the things, but he didn't listen to them at all. He nodded and returned to his yard.
That night, the sky was already dark, and many people in Gaolaozhuang were still lit with lights, and many people couldn't sleep. Liu Tiejiang's shop jingled all night.
At the fifth day of the fifth day, the Tubo Gate opened on time, and Gao Huan stood in front of the door. Soon, Gao clan members and villagers came one after another.
