In the dark night, Ding Laosan and Dunzi were driving along the winding path.
In the past few days, they have gone deep into a village around Zhangjiazhuang to publicize the Qinghe army's land distribution policy. Thanks to their efforts, the propaganda has achieved very good results.
Now in the village they are in charge of, more than half of the people without land have completed the registration and registration, and only need the work team to send people to divide the land.
So Ding Laosan and the others hurried back to Zhangzhuang, where the 25th task force was stationed, and prepared to let the task force send people to distribute the land tomorrow.
The work team has already promised Ding Laosan and the others that as long as they persuade the people of this village to participate in the land distribution, they will each be rewarded with five silver coins.
For a poor man like Ding Laosan, five silver coins are a huge amount of wealth, enough for him and his father to live in abundance for half a year.
The Qinghe army kept its word, and Ding Laosan had already seen it, so now he is eager to complete his task and get five silver coins as a reward.
When Ding Laosan and Dunzi were on their way in the dark, suddenly there was a fire shaking in the distance.
"Who is that over there?"
Seeing the silhouettes of people in the distance and a large area of ??torches, Ding Laosan stopped in his tracks.
Tunzi also stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck and looked towards the place with fire in the distance. It was too far away, and it was too dark to see anything clearly.
"Come on, let's go over and have a look, maybe it's someone from the work team."
As Ding Laosan said, he called Tunzi to go towards the group of people holding torches on their way.
"Third brother, something seems wrong, they have knives in their hands."
When they approached the group of people holding torches, Dunzi found the weapons at the waist of the group.
"Looks like a bandit."
Seeing these people dressed in all kinds of clothes, each carrying a weapon, Ding Laosan's eyes suddenly became serious.
When Yunxi Mansion was under the rule of the imperial court, bandits were rampant. Later, various rebel armies came over for a long time, resulting in the uneven ground here.
Since the Qinghe Army occupied Yunxi Mansion and sent troops to carry out military operations to wipe out bandits and bandits in the surrounding area, the law and order in Yunxi Mansion has improved a lot.
However, Ding Laosan and the others did not expect that a group of bandits would appear so close to Yunxi Mansion.
"Third brother, what should we do now?"
Seeing this group of bandits headed straight for Zhangjiazhuang not far away with torches swaggering, Dunzi who was hiding in the grass was already pale with fright.
?Because these bandits are murderous and fierce, once caught by them, their lives may not be guaranteed.
"Brother Dunzi, you have sharp legs and feet. Hurry up and report to the government affairs office in Fucheng, saying that Zhangjiazhuang has found bandits." Ding Laosan thought for a while and said.
"What about you?" Dunzi looked at Ding Laosan and asked.
"The bandits are heading towards Zhangjiazhuang. I have to inform the work team and let them hide."
The 25th Task Force was stationed in Zhangjiazhuang, and only 20 Qinghe Army soldiers guarded it.
There are more than a hundred of these bandits. Ding Laosan has become acquainted with the people in the work team these days, and he doesn't want them to be in danger.
"Third brother, it's too dangerous, why don't you go back and report the letter with me."
Dunzi looked at the ferocious bandits in the distance, shrank his head and said.
"Brother Dunzi, the work team is still in Zhuangzi, someone must notify them."
"Let's go quickly, and tell Mr. Miao of the government affairs government about the situation here."
Ding Laosan urged Dunzi, and Dunzi stood up even though he was scared.
"Third Brother, then be careful."
"Well, you go and come back quickly."
After Dunzi responded, he left the grass and went straight to Yunxi Mansion.
After seeing Dunzi leave, Ding Laosan also took a deep breath, crossed the field ridge, took a shortcut and went straight to Zhangjiazhuang.
"My lord, my lord, it's bad, some bandits are coming towards Zhuangzi!"
Panting, Ding Laosan rushed to the yard where the 25th task force was stationed, and knocked on the door of the young official of the task force.
"Ding Laosan, don't worry, speak slowly, what bandits?"
Seeing Ding Laosan's anxious face, the young official asked him to explain the situation in detail.
Ding Laosan quickly reported what he saw outside Zhuangzi.??After saying it again, the young official's complexion also became extremely dignified.
Hearing that more than a hundred bandits were approaching Zhuangzi, the young official hurriedly ordered people to go to the next yard to call for guard soldiers.
As soon as the two ten generals and the twenty soldiers who hastily gathered rushed to the yard, there were dogs barking one after another not far away.
As soon as the people from the work team left the yard, they saw vicious bandits coming straight towards them.
"They are coming towards us, don't need anything, go from the other side." The young official commanded everyone to evacuate.
But just a few steps after they walked, a group of masked men armed with weapons rushed out from the dark alley, led by a young man of the Zhang family.
"Retreat to the yard and go through the back door!"
Seeing that both sides were blocked by people, everyone was in a panic, and the young officials hurriedly led people back into the yard.
"Kill!"
Twenty soldiers of the Qinghe Army took charge of the cutoff, and soon fought with the bandits and masked men who rushed up.
In the dark night, the sound of cursing and the clash of weapons intertwined, and everyone in the village was awakened, not knowing what happened.
These bandits came prepared, and they had internal support in Zhuangzi, so the twenty-fifth task force was immediately in danger.
They wanted to go through the back door, but the back door was already blocked by a group of men in black with weapons, and several members of the work team fell into a pool of blood immediately.
Except for the 20 Qinghe Army soldiers who fought in the front yard, the rest of the work team were not soldiers, and there were some young men recruited to fight.
Facing these vicious enemies, they were immediately dispersed in the dark.
There were screams and blood splatter everywhere, Ding Laosan watched helplessly as the chest of the young official in charge of the work team was pierced by a sharp knife, and he turned his head and ran away in fright.
Ding Laosan hid behind the latrine at the back of the yard, and after only a moment, the sound of fighting outside quieted down.
Those bandits with knives and fierce faces began to search for survivors holding torches.
A young and strong man from the work team hid in the water tank, but was taken out by the bandits, and his head was chopped off with a single knife. Ding Laosan closed his eyes tightly in fright.
Ding Laosan was lucky, a bandit searched for him, but the latrine was so smelly, he took a quick look and left without finding him.
These bandits and those masked men left soon after slaughtering the station of the 25th Task Force.
Ding Laosan waited for almost half an hour, and only dared to go out when he heard that there was no movement outside.
However, the yard was in a mess everywhere, twenty soldiers fell to the ground in a haphazard manner, and the members of the task force also turned into mutilated corpses.
Seeing this scene, Ding Laosan didn't dare to stay here for long, and quietly escaped from Zhuangzi under the cover of night.
The bandits did not leave after slaughtering the work team's residence. They broke into the homes of more than a dozen households and slaughtered them all.
Without exception, these dozen or so households were the first batch of people who received land from the Qinghe army, but unexpectedly suffered such a disaster. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
