Chapter 22 Harvest
Sun Fang and Jiang Saner and others behind him were very nervous, fearing that something would happen again halfway through.
Jiang Saner couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "This fool with corny eyes on the village wall has good eyesight. When I break into the village, I will settle the score with him first."
Before he could curse, he saw Qian Laoer at the village gate stretching out his head again. The bandits under the village gate immediately looked at Qian Laoer nervously.
Qian Laoer shouted to Sun Fang: "Brother Sun, the housekeeper Shi in the mansion has arrived at the gate of the village and is ready to welcome the master back to the house. I heard that the master was seriously ill and was very anxious. Please wait a moment. He must welcome the master in person." Sun Fang knew that he was testing.
Sun Fang knew that the other party was still testing, "You wait a moment, I've asked the master."
Sun Fang pretended to come to the carriage and pretended to ask for instructions, and his eyes anxiously aimed at the direction of the suspension bridge falling. The suspension bridge was about three feet away from the ground.
Jiang Saner could no longer hold back next to the carriage. He waved his waist knife heavily and shouted: "Don't be too naughty, brothers, follow me to cut off the rope and kill in."
The bandits behind him turned over and rushed towards the suspension bridge shouting, and waved their waists and knives to chop the ropes of the suspension bridge. The clans were stunned on the wall of the village and fell to the ground with a thunderous look. The bandits quickly rushed into the Shijia Village Fort through the suspension bridge.
A loud noise came from a distance. The Huluyan brigade, who was ambushing a mile away, was staring nervously at the direction of Shijiazhaimen. When he heard the sound of killing in the distance, the Xuma gang shouted: "The gate of the village has been opened, brothers and I will rush with this commander!"
The Huluyan team ran at a speed that was more than twice as fast as usual. From a distance, they heard crying and screaming from the Shijiazhai Gate.
Xu Ma Gang shouted: "The team must not be confused. Each post passes pass through the suspension bridge in sequence. If you encounter resistance, you will be killed without mercy, follow the commander of this great commander!"
The village gate was in chaos, and the servants guarding the village gate waved their weapons to fight with the bandits who seized the gate. Among them, the people who were running away, crying, and trembling hiding by the wall were different.
Not far away, a middle-aged man dressed in a housekeeper was screaming something, and no one paid attention to him in the chaos. Seeing the bandits guarding the gate of the village, they were obviously waiting for support.
The servants who came forward to fight gradually became impatient. They didn't know where these strong men who had falsely opened the village gate came from, but they all knew that the consequences would be unimaginable if they were killed by this group of strong men.
While anxious, a group of servants suddenly ran out of the manor, and the leader shouted loudly and led the later servants to join the battle group.
The situation on the field changed suddenly, and Jiang San's son and Sun Fang and others were slowly forced to go out of the village gate. The middle-aged man dressed in the housekeeper seemed to be relieved. As long as he took back the village gate, the village gate would become impoverished.
It’s not that we underestimate these thieves. As long as we close the gate of the village, it will be extremely difficult to break the gate of the Shijia Village with our little ability.
He pointed at Sun Fang from afar and scolded: "Sun Fang, you dog thief, the master regards you as your confidant. You actually colluded with outsiders to plot against the old master's fortress. It's really better than a pig or dog. Hand over the master quickly, otherwise tonight will be your death."
When the middle-aged man in the housekeeping dress saw that Sun Fang was fighting, he ignored his scolding at all, and kicked the servants who were squatting in the corner of the wall and trembling, driving them to fight to vent their anger.
Just as the housekeeper of the Shifu showed his power to the servants, suddenly the noise outside the village gate became louder, and the bandits in the stakes cheered and saw a large group of bandits pouring into the village gate one after another.
During the battle, the Shifu family watched as the foreign robbers rushed into the village gate, and suddenly they had no fighting spirit and fled in all directions.
The middle-aged man dressed in the housekeeper suddenly changed his expression. He could no longer care about punishing the cowards on the ground. He quickly turned around and fled inside the fort, with his escape speed far exceeding that of the fleeing servants.
The entrance of the village was in chaos, and most of the servants turned around and ran to the inside of the manor, and some of the servants knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy. The bandits seemed to have forgotten the deployment of the commander and ran towards the inside of the village in a mess.
Feng Jian did not forget his responsibilities. He restrained the guards of his post guards to guard the gate of the village. The guards of his post were composed of twenty-five people, led by captain Huang Fuchun to participate in the robbery. These farmers who were honest more than a month ago were still not suitable for killing people, setting fires and robbing the house. They were reluctant to fight against the enemy, but now they are just right to guard the gate of the village.
The shouts of killing in the Shijia Manor lasted for more than an hour, and many people ran to the village gate. Unfortunately, the village gate had been closed long ago, and most of the people who escaped here were guards. Of course, these people were captured and taken into custody by Feng Jian and his guards. I believe that there would be no few who escaped from the Xizhai Gate guarded by Chen Laoliu.
Half an hour later, the shouts of killing in the village gradually subsided, and those who fled to the East Village Gate gradually disappeared. Feng Jian ordered his guards to light torches around the village gate to prevent those who escaped the net from taking the opportunity to escape.
At this moment, Jiao Gan'er ran out of Shi's house and sent a message to Feng Jian. The Shi family's house had completely fallen into the hands of Huluyan. The escort of the village was counting and seizing. Commander Xu and the leaders of the Huluyan mountain village were discussing matters. Commander Xu invited him to go to the meeting.
Feng Jian ordered Huang Fuchun to lead the guards to guard the village gate, and then follow Jiao Gan'er to walk inside Shi's house.
Shijia Village Fort is actually a small city with a circumference of more than two miles. The main house in the village where Shi Dayong lives is built at the northern end of the village. The northeast of the main house is a Beiyuan, which stocks war horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock. Outside the gate of the main house where Shi Dayong lives, a wide avenue is built, leading directly to the east and west village gates, and several archways are erected on the avenue. At both ends of the east and west avenues, most of the houses are opposite to each other. These houses are where servants and servants live. There are ancestral temples and Guandi Temples at the southern end of the village. There are several huge granaries built at the southwest end of the village. Further south of the granary is the training ground for Shijia Village to practice martial arts.
It can be said that Shijia Village Fort has most of the functions of a city, and it is definitely a blessing to have hundreds of bandits in Huluyan easily captured it.
Jiao Ganer walked and introduced the situation inside Shi's house to Feng Jian. The two entered through the gate of Shi's house, walked through a courtyard, and came to a luxuriously decorated hall. They saw that the leaders of the counterfeit village were already present, and most of them were filled with joy and excitement.
Feng Jian quickly stepped forward and bowed to Xu Ma Gang. Under the light, Xu Ma Gang's dark face showed a rare expression of satisfaction and excitement.
He looked at Feng Jian and asked kindly: "Feng Jian, please guard the village gate, you won't complain! What's the situation with the village gate?" He said as he stared at Feng Jian carefully.
Feng Jian looked at the free expression and said loudly to the horse gang: "Report to the commander, no matter how you arrange the villain, it is appropriate. The villain has absolutely no complaints. Although there are people who want to escape in the village, they are all captured by the villain. Please rest assured by the commander."
Xu Ma Gang laughed: "What a cautious boy. This commander sent you to guard the village gate, just because you are cautious in doing things. Now it seems that you can also understand the painstaking efforts of this commander. Well, this commander has always been clear about rewards and punishments. After returning to Huluyan, you will naturally not be too entrusted."
Feng Jian's thought flashed in his mind and immediately understood the intention of Xu Ma Gang to arrange for him to guard the village gate. He had just fallen into Huluyan and was already a small flag officer at a young age. Now he has captured Shi Dayong and made great contributions to Huluyan's successful capture of Shijia Village Fort. As the saying goes, "The rafters on the boat will rot first." It is definitely not a good thing for him to fight too much. Xu Ma Gang is protecting himself.
Thinking of this, Feng Jian felt a little warm and felt a little grateful to Xu Ma Bang.
In fact, the leaders here still have a good impression of Feng Jian. Not only did they follow Commander Xu to guard the village gate this time, they were wasting the opportunity to make a fortune, but they were also humble and polite to get along with the leaders here in Huluyan Village.
Therefore, the leaders expressed their opinions and agreed to Commander Xu, saying that Feng Jian made such a great contribution, Commander Xu should reward him well.
Feng Jian naturally would not take the benefits of not fulfilling them. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness to the great commander and all the leaders. Feng Jian has just arrived. In the future, he will also need the great commander and all the leaders to support him!"
After Feng Jian sat down in the corner, Xu Ma Gang said again: "Just just now, Brother Sun Fang led people to capture Mr. Shi's family and found that they wanted to escape through the corner gate behind the Shi Mansion. Thanks to Brother Sun's familiar with the surrounding terrain, he captured the Shi Mansion family who escaped from the mansion. However, the housekeeper of the Shi Mansion was missing. Therefore, the two village gates of the east and west must be kept in good condition. Everyone here must speed up the cleaning of the money and grain of Shi's village fort and transport it back to Huluyan as soon as possible, so the sudden change will occur."
Then he turned his eyes to Hu Dadao and said excitedly: "Old Hu, tell me about the gains this time, so that the brothers will be happy!"
"Yes, the commander, after rough statistics, this time he collected more than 300 taels of gold, more than 41,000 taels of silver, and several kinds of jewelry, jewelry, jade and calligraphy. The three granaries of the Shi family actually stocked up more than 1,800 stone, grain and grain; thirteen war horses, more than 100 cattle, sheep and livestock were seized in the Beiyuan of Zhaibao. In addition, several farming equipment and iron materials were also collected." Hu Dadao reported the capture excitedly.
Xu Ma Gang's black face turned red. This time the seizure was only counted as food, which could save the 4,000 young and old people from the village for more than two months.
Everyone here cheered, and Xu Ma Gang waved his hand and interrupted everyone, saying, "It is difficult to transport these many property back to the mountain village smoothly. This place is more than 30 miles away from Huluyan. You need to pass through two peaks, Sow Ridge and Mozhu Mountain. A large number of goods and food are transported to ensure safety. Especially Mozhu Mountain and my Huluyan have already become enemies. All brothers have to come up with ideas about this matter. How should we quickly and safely seize the Shi Mansion and transport it back to the mountain village quickly."
Hu Dadao said, "The commander is still very thoughtful. Before preparing for this operation, the villain reminded that the thieves of Mojishan have been eyeing each other. We have escorted so many wealth and goods by the Mojishan bandits, and once they are discovered by the Mojishan bandits, bloody battles are inevitable. If only Mojishan family is robbed. Our Huluyan has more than 500 guards, and this time we seized a large number of weapons and weapons from the Shi family, we are not afraid, but we are afraid that the thieves on other peaks will become intent on getting rich and joining with the Mojishan bandits and ambush halfway. Then the wealth and goods we have worked hard to get dangerous!"
Jiang Saner blurted out: "Where are you afraid of him? More than 500 people are protecting the wealth and goods on the road together. The blind man dared to make random ideas. I chopped him up with one knife."
