MTL - A Lucky Wife Born Again From a Farm Family-Chapter 42 Kill good people and take merit
Chapter 42: Killing good people and claiming credit
Speaking of which, what happened in Yongtai Mansion is also related to the evildoers who killed the victims that night.
The leader of that group of villains was a man named Mr. Cao. He led the villains to kill the victims and steal things. He never failed. His courage grew and he decided to target the Yongtai Mansion.
Yongtai Mansion is the intersection of the four great Chu roads. It has always been an important place in the north of Da Chu and is guarded by garrison troops. That Mr. Cao was from the frontier army, and Peng Changyong, the garrison of Qianhu in Yongtai Mansion, was also from the frontier army. The two of them had a bit of a comradeship, so Mr. Cao sent a letter to Peng Changyong, agreeing to work together to fight against the famine. All the wealthy households were robbed, and everything would be divided in half.
Master Cao also promised Peng Changyong that he didn't have to do anything, as long as Peng Changyong's defenders could come slower when they attacked the city to grab things.
Peng Changyong pretended to refuse twice and then agreed.
As soon as the two reached an agreement, Mr. Cao led more than a thousand of his men into Fucheng the night before and killed all the wealthy households in Fucheng, including the prefect of Yongtai Prefecture.
It's a pity that Mr. Cao underestimated Peng Changyong.
Peng Changyong was extremely ambitious. He not only wanted the money of the wealthy households in the city, but also wanted the life of the prefect, and he also wanted the military success of wiping out the bandits.
When Mr. Cao finished killing the rich people and the prefect, and was counting the money and women he had stolen, Peng Changyong led the defenders into the city, killed all of Mr. Cao's more than a thousand villains, and beheaded them. .
When Gu Dafu heard this, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He shouted repeatedly: "Well done, well done. Those evil people deserve a bad death. They have the lives of countless victims on their hands, half of our village." All the villagers died in their hands.”
Now he was killed by the defenders of Yongtai Mansion. It’s true that evil is rewarded!
Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian were also so happy that they shed tears. The powerful man in their family was killed by those evil people, and the big flower and the second flower were also captured by those evil people.
Thinking of Big Flower and Erhua, Aunt Tian hurriedly asked Qin Sanlang: "Brother Qin, where are those girls who were kidnapped by the bad guys? Is there any news about them?"
She was going to save Dahua Erhua, and rescue the two girls from those beasts!
Gu Damu The daughter of Gu Dalin's family was also kidnapped by those evil people. Hearing Aunt Tian's words, she hurriedly looked at Qin Sanlang, looking at him eagerly, waiting for him to speak.
Gu Jinli looked at their expectant eyes and knew that they were destined to be disappointed.
That Peng Changyong is obviously not a kind person, he is a more vicious person than Mr. Cao. Even if Dahua Erhua and Cui Niu are not dead, they will be arrested by Peng Changyong after Mr. Cao and his group of villains are killed. Leave it to your subordinates to enjoy.
Qin Sanlang avoided their eyes and continued: "Peng Changyong wanted military glory. After killing Master Cao's group of villains, he felt that there were not enough people, so he asked his soldiers to kill the good ones and take the credit."
This is why the victims are running back as hard as they can.
"Killing good people and taking credit for it!" When the third grandfather heard this, his hands shook with fright: "Here, these damned people, how dare they?"
Killing good people and pretending to be gangsters to gain military merit was something he had only heard from the old man when he was a child. It was something that only happened in troubled times when dynasties were changing.
Qin Erlang sneered: "Why don't you dare? The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and the prefect is dead. Who can know what he did? It's not about how he reports it."
When Qin Erlang said this, a murderous glare flashed quickly in his eyes.
When everyone heard this, they all panicked. Chen, who was most afraid of death, trembled and said: "Then, what should we do? That Qianhu will not come to kill us, right?"
Their heads now are worth a lot of money because of their military merit. Chen's two sons, Gu Dewang and Gu Defa, were so frightened that they turned pale when they heard Chen's words. They hurriedly hid next to Gu Dagui and hugged Gu Dagui's arm tightly.
Gu Dagui was so angry that he hit Chen on the shoulder and cursed: "What are you making a fuss about? Do you really think you are worth something? How can a thousand households go out into the mountains to kill you just for your head?"
Mrs. Chen just doesn't know what to say. Their Wang Ge'er and Fa Ge'er are only eight and six years old. If she was frightened by her words, he would tear her to pieces.
Mrs. Chen cried and said: "I'm not afraid. Listen to what Brother Qin said, how scary that Qianhu Master is. He is more ruthless than those evil people, and he is so greedy for power. What if he really goes into the mountains to kill people?" What to do?”
Gu Jinli said: "Don't worry, dear aunt, there are still many victims outside. If they die, they will die first. When they are all killed, Peng Changyong has accumulated enough military exploits, and we will be fine."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, her worries immediately disappeared: "Oh, Xiaoyu is still smart. That's right, we have caves to hide in. We are no better than the victims of the disaster. Those who live outside are all ready-made targets. It's pitiable."
When Gu Jinli heard Chen's words, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Sure enough, as long as others were worse off than him, he felt happy.
Aunt Tian was still thinking about her two daughters. When she heard Qin Sanlang's words, she cried, "What can we do? Can we still go to Yongtai Mansion to save Dahua Erhua and the others?"
Qin Sanlang was silent for a while, then shook his head and told her: "Aunt Tian, Yongtai Mansion has become Peng Changyong's, and his soldiers are everywhere. If we go to Yongtai Mansion now, there is only one way to die, and..."
Qin Sanlang stopped talking and glanced at Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin knew that what he said next was not suitable for a young man like him to say, so he looked at Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian, and said to the couple: "Stop looking for it, and live a good life with the two remaining children... Those women who were taken away, Without Mr. Cao and those evil people, we still have Peng Changyong and the others."
This statement is very straightforward and can be understood by anyone who has experienced it.
When Aunt Tian heard this, she was stunned for a while and burst into tears. She was afraid that her crying would attract outsiders and bring disaster to everyone, so she covered her mouth tightly and cried.
Brothers Gu Damu, Gu Dalin, Lao Yan and Yan couldn't help crying when they thought of the girl who was taken away from their family.
The guys couldn't bear to see it, but they couldn't help them. They could only let them cry. Maybe after crying this time, they would be able to let go completely.
Qin Erlang was impatient to see them crying, so he pulled Qin Sanlang and left the cave.
Seeing this, Mr. Qin said to the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, I will go out with Erlang and Sanlang to take a look, lest any victims of the disaster discover this cave."
After saying that, without waiting for Third Grandpa to respond, he got up and caught up with Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang.
Gu Jinli frowned, what are the three Qin family people going to do?
She thought of what Qin Sanlang had just said, and then of the disaster victim that Qin Sanlang had caught when he ran into the dry woods... It seemed that Qin Sanlang had captured more than one disaster victim, and he had also captured someone with status. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Qin Sanlang to know so well what happened between Mr. Cao and Peng Changyong.
The three people from the Qin family will leave, probably to meet the high-profile person who was caught.
Gu Jinli did not express his guess, nor did he intend to verify it.
Still, the three of the Qin family have their own secrets, and she just wants to bring her family to survive. As long as the Qin family's three people do not endanger their lives, she does not need to delve into their affairs.
