When Zhang Zhen arrived at the Yamen, he found that there was no one on duty. He shouted that there was indeed no one there. After thinking about it, he hurried to the Li Mansion, which was closer to here, thinking that he could find some people.

At the same time, a group of thieves here fell into another problem. They were going to take advantage of the fire to rob, but now the fire was quickly extinguished. They just robbed a family and tasted the sweetness. How could they be willing to give up? But now most of them have been troubled The drowsiness had passed, the mind was clear, and sneaking away was clearly out of the question now.

The leading elder brother was so angry that he wanted to grit his teeth, and the others were a little at a loss. Seeing him like this, they didn't dare to make a sound, and asked with their eyes what to do next.Some feel that they have already taken a lot of things, so it is safer to leave; some have already enjoyed the taste of getting something for nothing, and want to continue.

The time was urgent and the task was heavy, the leading brother was anxious, relished the chicken leg in his mouth, stomped his feet and said: "Damn it! If we don't go today, it will definitely spread if something happens in other places tomorrow. If you don't have such a good opportunity, go! Just today! If you want to eat meat, you can do it with me!"

At first, they were a little hesitant to think that this made sense, so they nodded their heads one after another. If they dared to do this, they didn't intend to only get such a small gain.

A group of people are not very kind people, not to mention that they have already prepared to leave blood on their hands. Now that they know that if they quit today, they will have no chance. go.

Liu Ping and Shunzi notified everyone to put out the fire while carefully observing the other side's actions. They were relieved to see them hesitate, but when they saw a large group of people walking towards Xiao Miao's house with axes, sickles and shovels in their hands, they knew that this matter could not be done well. and ran to those who hadn't put out the fire and returned home.

The others heard their news, and when they saw a group of people walking into a house with iron tools in their hands, they were all shocked. Most of the people who came out to put out the fire were middle-aged people and the heads of the family, so there was no one. People cry when they are frightened, but there are not a few people whose legs are weak when they are frightened.

"I'm afraid that they will run away after they finish the snatch. They are refugees. Even if they take advantage of the snow to see what they look like, who will know where they are tomorrow? Even if they finally catch them, there is no evidence. Then others will not admit it What should I do?" Shunzi analyzed the pros and cons for them.

Someone whispered: "That's the truth." Then he worried: "Is there no one in their house now?" It's just sad for a while if the money is lost, neighbors can also help, but just now That group of people came aggressively, and it would be the saddest thing if they got hurt.

Liu Ping comforted: "They ran to the neighbor's house after they heard the news, but it's not a good idea to always do this. It looks like they are not afraid of seeing blood, but the things we have saved at home should be given away for no reason. Are they?"

"Of course not, I spent three or 40 years to save it!" Someone immediately retorted, "If anyone wants to put down the things at home and run away, just run away. I won't leave anyway."

Shunzi told them the news: "I seem to have heard them say that not only this place was robbed, but also that there are such refugees in other places, and they are going to do a big job when everyone is slacking off. If they escape, they will go to other places. Where are the bandits, what should we do?"

Everyone else nodded, and finally someone became cruel and scolded: "Damn it, I don't eat or drink well this winter, for whom? Didn't I donate everything to them, and now they come to rob the house They don't want me to have a better life for the last little grain, and I will fight with them!"

The words hidden in the hearts of many people were spoken out, and there was a burst of echoes immediately, but some people hesitated: "But they are refugees, they have nothing to worry about, and they still have things in their hands. If we talk to them Fight hard, in case something happens to me, what should my family do?"

These words also expressed the feelings of many people, and some people said: "Yes, and our Master Zhizhou is so protective of these refugees. If they are injured and disabled, maybe our good Zhizhou will ask us to pay for our lives?" The current Zhizhou adults have squeezed the people of Jijiang Prefecture so that they don't have a good reputation in Jijiang Prefecture.

Seeing that many people hesitated, Shunzi said coldly: "Do you think they will only do this once? When all of us don't resist, or other places resist, and we don't resist, then Will they think we are all soft persimmons in the future? In the future, they will all come here to rob, and when the house is taken away, they may take your wife away and sell your child!"

This remark hit the nail on the head, a group of people looked at each other, heard the sound of the box being rummaged at Xiao Miao's house not far away, thought about what Shunzi said just now, and gradually made up their minds.

"Okay, since it's a group of white-eyed wolves that we're not familiar with, we're going to fight them!"

"Yes, yes, a group of guys who don't know how to be satisfied!"

"It's okay to take things, but it's absolutely not allowed to hurt my family!"

……

Shunzi said in a low voice: "Then let's think of a way now. They are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes. We have to have a plan to keep ourselves from getting hurt as much as possible."

"Say what you say." Others have unknowingly followed his example.

Shunzi brought out what he had planned with Dasong at the beginning, and a group of people hurriedly went back to each house to prepare things.

The next house is Zhang Zhen's house. After searching Xiao Miao's house, a group of thieves saw that the group of people clearly saw them but none of them dared to speak out. The dumplings are not cold yet, but they are eating lively.

"What a bunch of wimps, they don't dare to say anything when they see us!" Someone laughed and ate the stewed pig's trotters in the pot.

"What else can they do? Hahaha!" Drinking a small wine alone was very moist.

"It's a pity, I guess I won't see blood with my axe today!" Someone even expressed regret.

"That's it."

"Who said that? Look at them, they are as cowardly as a mouse. If you feel unhappy later, if you kill two people at random, they probably won't dare to do anything to you!" The man said as if Seeing his majesty, he is now an invincible general.

Shunzi and the others brought a small group of neighbors to Dasong's house when the group of people relaxed their vigilance, and Xiao Miao and the others hid in the cellar of Shunzi's house for convenience later.

The outer yard was poured with cold water layer by layer, and then soybean oil was also poured in and out of the yard. A group of people held flints and unlit torches in their hands, squatting or lying on the wall of the yard.

At that time, Zhang Zhen made the gates of the inner and outer courtyards made of iron for the sake of stability, and firewood was piled inside and outside the yard. After the fire just now, most of the firewood had been dried, and it was almost ready to burn.

After finishing this, Shunzi and the others moved the bone soup boiled by Dasong to the inner courtyard, lit the stove, and after a while the intoxicating aroma slowly drifted away, locked the inner courtyard door tightly, and covered the outer courtyard door, a group of people They all went out in a hurry, their palms sweating about what happened next.

Some of the thieves were already full, but there were so many of them, most of them were not full yet, and they were instantly aroused by the sudden smell of such a good smell.

"Big brother, that restaurant seems to be delicious, it seems to be next door!"

The elder brother in the lead naturally also smelled it, took a breath, and the greedy worm was hooked out. Although he was almost full now, he still felt hungry after smelling the smell, and gave instructions: "Anyway, this We’ve got almost all the things at home, let’s go to the next one, remember, we’ll take all the valuables, and there are still so many houses waiting for us!” Thinking of those cowards who didn’t dare to resist, he felt complacent Yangyang, let those timid people who started to sneak away see how much money they missed!

No one stayed in the first house, and the second house was also empty, so when we saw no movement in the third house, everyone took it for granted and didn't have the slightest vigilance. They must have known the movement and scared away secretly, so they couldn't help pushing open the door triumphantly. .

"Brother, the scent is right in front!" Someone said doggy, and the others naturally smelled it, and rushed over, especially those who hadn't eaten much in the first place.

A group of people pushed me and I pushed you and ran towards the outer yard. All of a sudden, their feet slipped and fell to the ground. The feet of the people behind were already slippery, and someone in front fell, and they fell to the ground naturally. For a while, no one was able to stand up properly.

People lying outside the courtyard wall heard the movement, and someone immediately went to close and lock the gate, and then someone used stones and wooden sticks to hold the door outside, and suddenly threw torches from outside the courtyard.

The soybean oil and ice on the ground caused a group of thieves to grin their teeth. The torch immediately started to burn when it touched the soybean oil and firewood. Just now, the group of people didn’t care that there was so much firewood around the yard. Even if they saw it, they didn’t care at all. Now A raging fire ignited around him, and someone was so burned that he immediately started shouting.

The first person shouted, and immediately a group of people shouted, sparks flew everywhere, and they could only roll when they were burned. The pain was unbearable. Some people hurriedly crawled towards the door, only to find that the door was made of iron, and it was hot to the touch. I couldn't wait for the skin to stick to it, so I tried my best to hold back the pain and found that the door was locked from the outside.

The elder brother in the lead took off his coat to avoid the fire, and his hair was burned. If he hadn't cut it with a knife in time, his scalp would have been burned. Now he saw the door cursing and crawled over to kick the door.

Seeing his movements, the others crawled towards the door for a while. There was a lot of firewood deliberately placed at the door, and there was another burst of crying, cursing and crying, and some slowly reacted and begged for mercy.
