Chapter 188 Bite back
Chapter 188 Bite back
The first person to hold a knife to Shen Zhiqiu's neck, the people of Shenjia Village also saw clearly,
From what the soldiers called him, he should be called Ah Chi, a small leader under the commander.
The one above must be wearing Yinkai,
The little leader asked: "Just you guys?"
Father Shen was still worried about his granddaughter, and seeing that the man was still asking questions, he quickly stepped forward and told him:
"My son was smart. He first brought 15 people up the mountain to join them, and then they knocked him out. Then he tied him up with the help of the bandits."
The leader was suspicious: "Where did you get the drugs?"
Father Shen was anxious: "There is no drug. We know how to make wine. My third son and his men spent a month in the mountains brewing strong liquor to get them drunk."
The little leader was even more unconvinced. He felt that this group of people were full of lies and not a single word could be trusted. How much wine could they brew in a month to get so many people in the village drunk?
Shen Fugui was smart and held a wine jar directly: "There is still some wine left. If you don't believe me, try it."
Little boss: “….”
I thought: "If you want me to taste it, I'll try it. What if it's poisonous? Do you think I'm as stupid as the bandits?"
Shen Fugui was also thinking, "Why are you glaring at me? I can't poison you. Didn't you see that the bandits drank it? Aren't they still alive now?"
But he didn't dare say it, for fear that he would be blamed for saying so. It was so hard not to shout and kill them.
"If you don't believe me, I'll give you a taste first!"
Without waiting for the little leader to say anything, this guy directly took a bowl, without even thinking whether anyone had used it before, poured a glass of wine into it, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he poured another bowl and said to the little leader, "Now I believe it's not poisonous, right? Look at this wine and see if it's strong or not."
The little leader took the bowl and smelled it. It indeed had a strong aroma of wine. The wine was yellow in color and was extremely clear without any impurities.
But he didn't drink it directly. Instead, a man who looked like a military doctor came forward to examine the Pueraria wine.
Another subordinate of General Yinkai also washed the bowl again, poured out the wine, and showed it to the man.
My goodness, he first tested the poison with a silver needle, then sniffed left and right, and finally tasted it before reporting to the general that there was no poison, but the wine had a cool feeling, as if some medicinal herbs were added.
This wine was made by Shen Mazi and a dozen other people. In fact, everyone knew this very well. The recipe of the wine could not be kept secret. If it was revealed, perhaps the lives of everyone in their village could be saved.
But no one said anything, instead they looked at Shen Zhiqiu.
Shen Zhiqiu had no choice but to ask his wife and mother to look after his daughter, then he stood up and walked over here.
But the steps seemed very slow, and unlike the humbleness at the beginning when he called himself a student, he told me frankly:
"This wine is brewed from Pueraria root. I believe this military doctor is familiar with Pueraria root! I won't say much about its medicinal effects. As for Pueraria root wine, it has the effects of relieving muscles and reducing fever, clearing rashes, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, raising yang and stopping diarrhea, and strengthening the body."
This involves the general's blind spot in knowledge. He only knows which wine tastes good, but he really has no idea about its brewing process or medicinal properties.
But when he heard the military doctor explaining the medicinal value of Pueraria root, he also understood the preciousness of this wine.
Moreover, the small leader, the general and the military doctor had all drunk the wine and confirmed that these people were not lying and that it was indeed a rare strong liquor.
Even a noble man like the general had never seen such a clear and mellow wine, which also had so many benefits for people.
He thought of his grandfather and suddenly asked, "How much is a jar of this wine?"
The young general asked this question so suddenly that Shen Zhiqiu, who was still resentful, was stunned: "What does this mean?"
Mr. Shen reacted immediately: "No money, just take everything away and let us go!"
In fact, Mr. Shen and everyone in Shenjia Village hated the general and cursed him countless times in their hearts.
They came at a really bad time. They were happy about having a big harvest today, but then they were surrounded. Not only the gold, silver and treasures, but even the food in the mountain stronghold would probably not fall into their hands.
The key point is that two of their precious children were hurt.
Now, in order to survive, I may have to give away the wine recipe.
But no matter how much hatred and resentment you have in your heart, you have to swallow it and not show it at all.
And he also had to explain his origins to others, and he was just short of reporting all his ancestors in one breath.
He even made up a lie, saying that the recipe was handed down from his ancestors, passed down from generation to generation in the clan, and this generation passed it on to the most promising scholar in their clan.
At this time, they did not forget to show off that their third son was the top three.
Anyway, after hearing a few words here and there, the young general finally knew their origins.
There were also people interrogating the bandits over there, and at this time the three bandit leaders were brought over.
I plan to verify it again. If there is no problem with this group of people and those women, I can release them.
The three bandit leaders have been struggling for so long, and now it is daybreak and their brains have almost recovered.
But they now know that even if they had three heads and six arms, they cannot escape this disaster, so they look at Shen Zhiqiu and his group with hatred in their eyes.
The second in command's eyes were almost filled with venom, and he shouted at the general:
"General, as the saying goes, a dying man's words are the best. I'll tell you the truth, you've been deceived by that group of people. That Shen Zhiqiu is our sworn fourth brother, the fourth boss of the mountain stronghold. He kidnapped us not because he wanted to pass through the mountains, but because he wanted to rebel and become the big brother."
The big boss also reacted immediately and shouted: "Yes, General, don't be fooled, Shen Zhiqiu is our fourth brother. If you don't believe me, ask everyone in our village, who doesn't know he is the fourth boss?"
Although the third brother rarely used his brain, he was still able to figure out such a simple thing, and he also cursed Shen Zhiqiu:
"Old Four, you are not kind. Have your brothers been bad to you? Are you going to do something dirty?"
Many of the tied-up bandits also shouted, "General, we report that Shen Zhiqiu is really our fourth in command. Don't be fooled!"
Wow, indeed, strictly speaking, after going up the mountain for a month, Shen Zhiqiu did become the fourth in command of the mountain village.
The fourteen strong laborers from Shenjia Village who went up the mountain together for this matter were very proud. Have they seen how capable their third son is?
After working as an insider in the bandit camp for a month, he was promoted to the position of fourth in command.
But now it has become a handle for them to defend themselves. It's so unlucky.
At this time, the old ladies were not happy with this. They dared to frame their leader and shouted directly:
"Bullshit, you are all talking nonsense. We don't want to be bandits. We are a bunch of rotten hearts and blood. We also rob houses and abduct women."
"That's right. Only those with evil hearts become bandits. They are a bunch of people who deserve to be punished by God! Why don't they all be struck to death by a bolt of lightning?"
As long as there was someone taking the lead, the other old ladies had nothing to fear from speaking. They all began to frown and curse. The curses were so ugly that they even cursed all the ancestors.
Some even got so angry that they punched and kicked the bandits.
I was stunned by these officers and soldiers. They were too powerful. It seemed that these old ladies looked more like bandits.
