Chapter 857 Murder in the Rain (Part 2)
"No!"
Xue Rengui led the brigade and continued to move through the reed swamps, leaving twenty soldiers to guard the slaves. There are always ten or eight supervisors of the Gu family, and it is impossible to leave these slaves alone.
These supervisors were mixed in the crowd and were dragged out one by one by the soldiers and killed on the spot.
Regardless of their clothing or mental state, these people can be easily distinguished. In addition, two neatly built houses were found on the edge of the reed shack, presumably the houses of these supervisors. The slaves were tortured so much that they had no human form. There was no need to cut down the reeds at this time, and they were only given a small amount of food every two days. Even if they were left alone, they would not have the energy to walk out of the reed swamp. Several strong young men were soundly asleep when they were beheaded by the soldiers who swarmed in.
As soon as these supervisors were cleared away, the subsequent large forces caught up.
Su Dingfang looked at the miserable hell-like scene in front of him, his eyelids twitched and he gritted his teeth. Even if the barbarians in Mobei outside the Great Wall plundered the Han people and tortured them in every possible way, they could not do anything worse than what the Gu family did.
How could the majestic Jiangdong wealthy family and the noble family be so inhumane and lose all conscience?
A tall and thin man walked out of the crowd, hunched over despite the pouring rain pouring down on him. His clothes were ragged and his hair was unkempt. Before he got close, a pungent smell hit his face.
The soldiers beside Su Dingfang quickly covered their noses with their sleeves, frowned slightly, and immediately shouted: "Stop! Stand over there honestly, say what you want, and don't come near!"
The man trembled with fright, but the dozen or so supervisors of the Gu family were killed one by one. The red blood seemed to awaken the remaining courage in his body. He boldly said in a trembling voice: "Sir, we are just Slaves who cut reeds and boil sea salt for the Gu family, please don’t kill us. I...I kowtow to you..."
No matter how humble, no matter how desperate, no matter how life is worse than death, the desire to survive is the instinct of all living things. Facing the possibility of death, these humble slaves like dolphins, dogs and reptiles still have to seek hope of living.
That's right, no matter how stupid you are, you know that only by living can you have hope...
Su Dingfang seemed to be unable to smell the nauseating stench, nor could he see the virulent ringworm mottled and festering on each face. He took two steps forward, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "A certain person is the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy. Su Lie, Su Dingfang, this is where the bandits passed during this encirclement and suppression campaign. Only then did I know that you all You don't have to worry about the suffering you have suffered. Soldiers will prepare ships later to take you to Huating Town to treat your injuries and recuperate. You can rest assured that as long as you still have some strength, you can eat in Huating Town. If you have enough food, you can survive!”
After saying this, he said a few words to the soldiers around him, then turned around and walked quickly towards Gu's Wubao.
Behind him, there was a cry like a wolf crying and a ghost howling, mixed with cries of gratitude...
The Gu family in Jiangdong is as dehumanizing as an animal!
If Qian Qian still has some resistance to Fang Jun's idea of eradicating the Gu family, and only led his troops to raid Gu's Wubao through this place because the military order could not be disobeyed, then now, Su Dingfang is even more passionate about the stock market than Fang Jun. .
How can such a family of beasts survive in the world?
The army was vast and powerful, galloping through the reeds.
*****
During the plum rain season in the south of the Yangtze River, it usually rains for two or three days. This is already a rule, so when the heavy rain falls, all the people who eat with their hands complain.
The fishermen cursed at the sky. In stormy weather, the docks would not allow fishermen to go out to sea. For the fishermen who were already living in poverty, missing a day of fishing would mean that their lives would be less secure.
Farmers also kept praying for the sky to clear up soon. If it rains heavily for many days, the crops in the fields will be destroyed. The harvest for the year will be gone, and the whole family will starve to death.
As for the workers in Huating Town, they are even more complaining. Only when you work can you earn points, and only when you earn points can you have food to eat. The heavy rain is falling non-stop, and people are so depressed that they are almost going to go moldy. When can we go back to work?
The first moment of Mao Shi.
At this time in the past, fish belly white had already been released from the sky, and the hard-working people had already had breakfast and started their work for the day. But at this moment, the rain was pouring down, and the dark clouds covered the sky, making it look like dark night.
The heavy rain is still pouring down, and the entire Huating Town is bathed in the heavy rain. Thousands of workers in the town are also sighing and nesting in their houses, hoping that the heavy rain will pass quickly and the sky will clear up soon.
In the shop opposite the town office, two figures stood quietly in front of the window, motionless. Wu Duohai closed his eyes, and his tall and strong body was like a cold rock, motionless. Even if there was lightning and thunder, his brows did not even move.
The third young master of the Gu family, Gu Zhu, was much more leisurely. Although he was as motionless as Wu Duohai, his eyes dropped slightly, staring at the raindrops carried by the wind between the windows and falling on the windowsill, and then splashed up and splashed. Wet the corners of his clothes.
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Several people dressed as waiters were piled randomly in a corner. The blood stained the ground red and turned dark brown. They had been dead for a long time.
A dozen experts who occupied the magpie's nest were lying on the ground and on the counter, recharging their energy.
Time passed by minute by second, but the two people in front of the window were like two sculptures. No matter how violent the storm, I remained motionless, paying close attention to all the changes outside hidden under the rain curtain.
Gu Zhu felt very proud.
What was originally a failed operation turned out to be unexpected and brought unexpected luck. Who would have thought that Zhang Liang actually wanted to kill Fang Jun? He is now guarding the main entrance of the town office. As long as Fang Jun comes back, the moment he shows his face, he will be killed with one strike!
The best thing is that as long as you are careful, you can kill Fang Jun and cover up Xingzang, and no one will think that it was Gu Zhu who did it!
We sneaked in during the day, but we have been driven away! Thousands of people saw this. At that time, I was being chased as panic-stricken as a lost dog. How could I assassinate Fang Jun in the blink of an eye?
As for whether Zhang Liang will be betrayed, this is not within the scope of Gu Zhu's consideration.
If Zhang Liang was really generous and rescued him, then Gu Zhu would naturally remember this kindness and would not betray Zhang Liang even if he died. But the problem is that Zhang Liang had no good intentions at all when he rescued him. They were just using each other. Should he remember his kindness?
That would be silly...
Suddenly, in the shrill sound of wind and rain, the two of them faintly heard the sound of horse hooves mixed in with the sound of wind and rain. Wu Duohai, who had closed his eyes tightly, finally opened his eyes and murmured: "Finally here!"
Gu Zhu, who was beside him, tightened the knife in his hand, turned around and shouted in a deep voice: "Be prepared!"
The other dozen or so people in the room immediately jumped up, each holding their weapons in their hands, and gathered around the window.
Soon, in the dim rain curtain and the violent storm, a carriage was coming here quickly. The rainwater flowing across the street did not stop the horse's rapid speed. On the left and right of the carriage, there were a few people on each side. Riding guard, the knight on the horse wears a bamboo hat and raincoat, with a horizontal sword on his waist.
It was raining heavily, and the carriage was galloping all the way through the wind and rain, and it stopped just outside the gate of the town office. Several knights dismounted one after another. Some people wanted to use umbrellas to cover themselves, but as soon as the umbrellas were opened, they were blown by a strong wind and the umbrella bones were broken. They could no longer be used.
A young man pretending to be brave jumped out of the carriage, ignoring the wind and rain, and said: "No need to hold an umbrella, it's raining so heavily, everyone should go in and have a rest, let the cook prepare a hot pot later, and have a drink together." ”
After saying that, he walked towards the gate of the town office.
Gu Zhu glanced at Wu Duohai in the shop. The two were speechless, but they had the same mind. They picked up the crossbows beside them in no particular order and aimed at the stocky figure outside through the holes poked in the window paper. Pull the trigger.
Two soft sounds of "咻廻" were muffled by the violent storm, and the two crossbow arrows penetrated the rainy sky like meteors, secretly and quickly shooting at the well-dressed young man who had just jumped out of the carriage.
The distance of three to five feet disappeared in an instant.
"There is an assassin!" (End of this chapter)
