Chapter 60 Counterattack
"Zhang Jieyu, even your death will not be a result."
"You killed the inspector, this is a serious official. The first time of Daxu was to establish authority with decisiveness. No matter how much you have, I just need to kill you and raise your head and sue the official. Not only will you die, but your power in this county will be uprooted, and even your family will not escape."
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Zhang Jieyu's face changed drastically, but he changed and lies again: "No, I've been hit by this villain's plan!"
In the early days of Taoism, the most heart was the most heart-wrenching, and the backlash immediately rushed to the scene. Pei Ziyun rushed forward, and a sword light flashed in his figure.
At the critical moment of life and death, Zhang Jieyu rose up, and the sword light suddenly burst out. Instead of retreating, he advanced and rushed forward.
"If you want me to die, you will die too!"
In an instant, Mars flew continuously, and the speed of the two was dazzling, but with just one breath, the figures separated, Zhang Jieyu shook his left rib, and his whole body was hit by a lightning strike, and blood spurted out.
"No, you can't kill me. I am a disciple of the inner sect of the Holy Prison Sect. If you kill me, you will be retaliated."
"Save me, I still have it!"
Before he finished speaking, the sword light flashed and a sword pierced into his heart. Zhang Jieyu's mouth spurted blood, giggling, pointing at what he wanted to say, but couldn't hold it up in one breath, and he was immediately extinguished.
Pei Ziyun looked at the corpse and laughed loudly. After laughing, he turned around and left.
Woniu Village
Pei Ziyun returned to the village, and all the thieves had fled. They were killed before they had time to escape. The roads in the village were full of corpses, and blood flowed on the ground had solidified, and a strong smell of blood was suffocating.
The village also saw archers checking the body. When they saw it, they stabbed it. When they saw it, they cut off their heads and piled them together. These were all thieves. Killing the thieves was a meritorious achievement.
But even these archers were very heavy in their hearts. After the inspection was dead, half of them died with their brothers.
These are the archers who have been transferred to the military, and the township warriors are even more unbearable. After the battle, many township warriors woke up after being excited and sat on the ground. Many people's minds are blank.
Some village heroes even avoided the archers' heads when they saw that they were cutting their heads. Killing people was one thing, and cutting their heads was another thing. They were a little trembling and some timid and could no longer help them. They hid on one side and vomited in big mouths, as if they were about to spit out bile, and their mouths were bitter.
Pei Ziyun looked at it and not only thieves, but also some villagers' bodies were placing straight and vertically together, some were village heroes, and some were ordinary villagers who had no time to hide.
The village chief looked at it blankly, the flesh on his face kept shaking, and he didn't know what he was thinking. A village hero was seriously injured and could no longer do it. Seeing Pei Ziyun coming, he shed tears: "Duke Jie Yuan, I have an old mother, wife and children in my family..."
Pei Ziyun felt sad and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, as long as I, Pei Ziyun, are here, I will definitely not let them suffer any hunger, coldness and hardship!"
When the man heard this, he was immediately angry, and his eyes were filled with a desire for life when he was dying.
The villagers around me started crying, and Pei Ziyun sighed. A village hero was holding Cao San's arms. Cao San was also injured when he attacked just now. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.
Seeing Pei Ziyun coming in, Cao San walked forward and whispered: "Master Pei, the thief leader who ran away, but they were all killed."
"The two thieves have been killed. You send someone out to drag the corpse in. But don't cut the heads of these two." Pei Ziyun said, remembering Zhang Jieyu's corpse was of great use: "Especially the thief's head, don't cut off the head, and you must verify the correctness in the future."
"Zhang Dashan." Cao San shouted, he was still there just now, but the man disappeared later.
"Come!" Zhang Dashan came over with a gourd and wiped his mouth. It turned out that he had gone to drink. He had just killed the thief, but his hands were a little shaking, but Zhang Dashan was much more courageous than ordinary village heroes. He didn't vomit, but he was panicked, so he went to find wine to suppress his shock.
"Good guy, he is brave. If it were before, he would be a soldier."
"There are two corpses outside, you can take the people to drag them in." Cao San arranged for him to turn around and leave when he saw Zhang Dashan, and shouted, "Leave wine for me, I'll take a few sips to cure the pain."
After saying that, he snatched it from Zhang Dashan. Zhang Dashan didn't react, so Cao San kicked it and said, "You can't go quickly."
Zhang Dashan finally realized and asked two township heroes to come out of the village entrance and drag Zhang Jieyu's body back.
Cao San took two sips of wine and felt the pain on his back relieved a little. He approached Pei Ziyun and whispered: "Master Pei, so many people died tonight, what should I do?"
"I just looked at it and there were extraordinary thieves here. One group was a monk from Yinlong Temple, and the other was a thief from the rudder of the prefecture. Among those monks, I saw one of them when I went to burn incense. I heard that these people were involved in the mansion and the state. If we kill them, we would be afraid that someone would come to take revenge in the future."
After checking the faces of these thieves, Cao San found that there were connections behind these people. If they were killed this time, they would inevitably have trouble in the future.
Pei Ziyun couldn't see his expression clearly under the firelight, and did not answer Cao San's words. Instead, he stepped forward and whispered: "Cao San, everyone has come to kill you, how can you not kill? That's fine, let's not talk about it for now. I'll ask you, if the inspector dies, are you responsible? Do you want to be exempted from punishment, and even get a deputy inspector?"
Cao Sanyi glanced at the surroundings, lowered his voice and asked, "How to do it?"
Cao San retreated from the battlefield, was very killing and dared to gamble.
"This matter is not too big now. The thieves attacked the countryside and reported to the officials normally. If these people make money, they may have to deal with you. If the inspection is not effective, they will put you in prison." Pei Ziyun said a few words in his ear.
Cao San hesitated a little when he heard this, and the smell of blood poured into his nose. He touched his back with his hands and clapped his hands: "Mr. Jie Yuan, I've done it."
After the thief was killed, villagers reported the news. Many people came out to find their families. Two people were looking for the old hunter in the distance and carried it over. They did not suffer much injuries and only broke their legs.
Pei Ziyun also knew a woman. Not long after getting married, her husband entered the village Yong. He looked for his husband. When his feet were weak, he collapsed on the ground. He hugged his husband's body and started crying.
Cao San was a little silent. The man was brave when he killed the thief. He didn't want to be counterattacked by the thief and was killed with one knife.
These villagers came out to find their families, and the scene cried continuously.
After counting the news, the old village chief's feet were trembling and his face was pale. Pei Ziyun asked Zhang Dashan: "How is the situation?"
"Seventeen bandits died, but twenty one died, one seriously injured, five slightly injured. We seized more than twenty swords, guns, bows and arrows, and dozens of taels of silver were found on the body." Zhang Dashan said sadly: "Half of the dead people are women and children, and they were hacked to death if they hit them."
These men in black have martial arts and are also bandits, and they are ruthless. Once the local brave men are caught, they will hardly be injured, and most of them will die.
Pei Ziyun was silent for a moment and stepped forward to look at the village chief: "Village Chief, you arrange for someone to buy a good coffin, I will pay the money."
The village chief was shocked: "This is impossible. The villagers died to protect the village. The village will have compensation. How can the master pay?"
"I feel sorry for so many people today. I have something to let you do. There are still people behind these thieves. If they don't get rid of them, the disaster will not be eliminated." Pei Ziyun said coldly.
The village chief looked at the basket on the ground, which contained all of them. He responded.
The men in the village were gathered by the village chief: "It's almost dawn. You go to each village to buy coffins. If you have coffins at home, you will borrow them first and compensate them later. I believe that the villagers in the nearby villages will give me this face."
What many people don’t understand is that in ancient times, people were not taboo about coffins and tombs. Generally, elderly people with some money would prepare their own coffins when they were alive. As for emperors, they would build their own tombs as soon as they ascend to the throne.
According to historical records, in the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381 AD), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of his tomb for himself, and in this world, the Emperor Xu of the Great Emperor ordered the construction of his tomb in the third year of his reign.
Therefore, more than twenty coffins can be quickly made by plundering nearby villages.
A villager hesitated: "Village Chief, now no one has opened the market to sell coffins. They all go to bed early. Why not let us go tomorrow morning..."
Before he finished speaking, the village chief swept over at a glance. This man was a hooligan in the village. He liked to do some stealing things on weekdays and was lazy.
"Bang" the village chief slapped him, and caught the villagers off guard and used a lot of force, almost knocking him to the ground.
This person was dissatisfied. The village chief glanced at the person coldly. The person who came just now had escaped and was now dragging him down. How could there be such a stupid person?
"Catch it, beat it, just don't beat it to death." The village chief was furious and shouted.
The township man rushed up, held the man down, tied it up with a rope, and smiled grimly: "Zhang Ping, you still dare to be in trouble at this time and seek death."
The villager had just finished killing the thief, and at this moment he was murderous. When he glared at the man, he didn't dare to speak. He listened to the howling of ghosts and wolves, and the villagers didn't dare to refute and went out with the money.
A coffin was five taels of silver, and twenty-one people died, which was one hundred taels.
Pei Ziyun took the money and sent it down, and said to the village chief: "There are so many people who die, so you can't put them in the village. Just carry them to the Land Temple!"
After discussing with the deceased's family, the village chief felt right: "Release it and put it in the temple, and there is a god here, so there will be no trouble."
Land Temple
There is a shrine in the village, which looks very old. The village chief just went up to light incense, kowtowed a few times, and cried and said, "The Land Lord is here. Today, I, Woniu Village, suffered a great disaster. I temporarily placed the villagers here. When I survived a great disaster, I will kill pigs and sacrifice them."
After burning incense and telling the gods, the village chief arranged for people to carry the bodies in, put them in one by one, and covered them with white cloth to arrange for people to watch the night. However, the family members of the deceased came in to the Land Temple and were crying, and the village chief could not stop them, so he had to go there.
