Chapter 313: Kill first and tell later

In the next few days, Zhou Wuchang found someone to buy some ashlar, wood, bamboo, etc., and the tiles were also ordered for five rooms.

In less than ten days, these things were delivered one after another.

When building the house, all the laborers from the surrounding villages came to help, and they could have a full meal at noon every day.

Seeing that the house was about to be completed, a group of soldiers suddenly came. The leader looked angry and yelled: "Who allowed you to build a house here?"

When the villagers saw that these people were from the nearby military camp, they all became nervous and gradually stopped what they were doing.

Xiaodouzi, who was helping to move the tiles, saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately slipped back to the village and found Zhou Wuchang: "Master General, the senior official from Juntun has brought people here and we are not allowed to build a house. Go and take a look. Bar."

"Okay, lead the way." Zhou Wuchang stood up, hung the purple gold dagger on his waist, and then followed Xiaodouzi towards Shiquan Mountain.

Ying Bao and his first and second senior brothers quickly followed.

When they arrived at Shiquan Mountain, they saw thirty or forty villagers being driven aside by soldiers. The captain was standing in front of the house looking at the house with a look of greed on his face.

Zhou Wuchang walked over and asked the villagers: "Why did the work stop?"

Before the villagers could reply, the captain had already turned around, looked Zhou Wuchang up and down, and said contemptuously: "Who are you? How dare you disobey my order?"

Zhou Wuchang also looked at him: "You don't deserve to know who I am."

The captain was furious, drew his sword and slashed at Zhou Wuchang.

Zhou Wuchang didn't move, but a few soldiers did. They immediately ran to grab the captain and persuaded him: "General, calm down."

The captain was still jumping up and down, pointed his knife at Zhou Wuchang and shouted: "Where is the spy! I want to arrest you and interrogate you! You! You! And the rest of you! Go and capture him!"

The soldier was embarrassed and whispered: "General, please be patient. We haven't figured out where he came from yet. What if he is from a noble family? It would be troublesome."

The school captain shouted: "I don't care which aristocratic family he belongs to. When he reaches the top of my mountain, he must pay homage to my mountain gate!"

Zhou Wuchang smiled and asked loudly: "Where is your mountain gate?"

The captain was stunned for a moment, then turned and said angrily: "I'm going to fuck your mother! The top of my mountain is..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt his eyes blurred. Zhou Wuchang was already approaching, and a dagger was stabbed into his chest.

Everyone was stunned.

The two soldiers who were holding the captain subconsciously took a few steps back, only to see the captain fall straight to the ground and die.

"You! How dare you kill someone?" Only then did a soldier react and hurriedly drew out his sword and pointed it at Zhou Wuchang.

Zhou Wuchang calmly took out a piece of handkerchief, wiped the blood on the dagger, and said softly: "Common people who block the roads and kill businessmen, you all deserve to die!"

The soldier's arms shook and he turned to look at his companions, hoping that they would come to help.

But the dozen or so comrades seemed to have frozen their bodies, motionless.

"This man killed our captain general, what are you doing standing there? Come and catch him!" This soldier was the captain of the captain's personal guard. Seeing that his immediate superior was dead, he was so panicked that his whole body trembled.

If the superiors find out about this, the captain will die in front of him, and his life will not be saved.

Several soldiers hesitated, then stepped forward, and before the guard captain could react, he was killed with a knife.

The villagers screamed in surprise, but they felt secretly happy in their hearts.

Ying Bao's eyes widened even more, and she didn't understand why these soldiers killed that man too.

Senior Brother Zhou Hao still looked expressionless, as if he was not surprised.

Zhang Min covered the little junior sister's eyes and whispered: "Don't look at them, don't look at them. Those two are bad people. Master did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Don't be afraid."

Several soldiers suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Zhou Wuchang and clasped their hands in fists: "I've seen the general!"

Zhou Wuchang looked at them indifferently and said, "Pindao is no longer your general. From now on, I will call him Wuchang Jushi."

The soldier who killed the guard captain clasped his fists and said, "The villain Zhu Sihu meets General... Mr. Wuchang! The villain once fed the horses in your military tent."

Eight or nine soldiers also said: "These villains are all soldiers in your army."

When the other soldiers saw that the person who killed their captain was actually a former general, they couldn't help but shrink their necks and did not dare to say a word.

Zhou Wuchang glanced at them and said to Zhu Sihu: "I built this Taoist temple. The procedures are complete and the land was bought by me. You are not allowed to harass the people here in the future."

Zhu Sihu was ashamed and said quickly: "The villain doesn't dare to do it anymore."

Zhou Wuchang nodded: "Take the captain back with you. If anyone asks, let him come to me. The purple gold sword in the poor Taoist hand was given by the Holy One. He can kill corrupt officials and tyrants, and he is a member of the army. If a poor man comes across a cause of rebellion, he will be killed first and then punished, and he will never be tolerated!"

"Yes! I will take the captain back now and report the truth truthfully." Zhu Sihu said.

The remaining soldiers echoed.

Afterwards, more than a dozen soldiers returned to the military camp with the two corpses. They ventilated each other halfway and told each other when they got back that the captain general and his guards had encountered robbers. They were killed by the robbers and the robbers ran away.

Anyway, this is a common thing. Which military camp doesn’t kill people?

Moreover, this captain was very arrogant in the army. He never looked down upon his subordinates or other officers due to the fact that his uncle was the commander of the army, and it was not unusual for him to have enemies with others.

Although these dozen of people were his personal guards, they never received any benefits in the army. Instead, when the captain was unhappy, he would whip people with whips and treat them like slaves.

Well now, he is finally dead, and even the captain of the personal guard who was in charge of his property is also dead.

As soon as everyone gathered together, they planned to divide the captain's private wealth among themselves after returning, so as not to be caught first.

More than ten days later, the Taoist temple was finally completed, and even the surrounding wall was built.

The three words "View of Impermanence" are also engraved on the house plate.

Yingbao and her senior brothers moved into the Taoist temple, and she had a wing room to herself.

The next day, Cuilan and Xiaodouzi were arranged by his father to stay here, saying that the Taoist temple had just been built and it must be very popular.

Ying Bao has been lying on the kang table these days, making up stories for the Immortal Cave, and writing a heart-stirring story about the fairy couple. When she and her master go to Jingzhou Mansion, she will sell the story to the local storyteller.

Not only should everyone in the city know that there is a fairy cave in Zaoshu Village and there is fairy water in the cave, but the story should also be told to the villagers and make them catchy.

After finally writing it, Yingbao said to Cuilan: "Cuilan, go back and call everyone in the village. I have something to say."

Cuilan pouted and didn't want to go.

She stayed here very well, the kang hole was still burning, it was very warm, and she could eat two meals of white flour steamed buns every day, so she didn't want to go home.

Seeing that she was not happy, Ying Bao took out a piece of candy from her bag and said, "I'll ask the second senior brother to drive you back in a carriage, and you can come back in the carriage later."

"Okay." Cuilan smiled happily, took the candy, stuffed it in her mouth, and jumped off the kang.

·

Watching her second senior brother drive away, Ying Bao quickly ran to the back of the house.

That's right, the Shiquan Cave is ten feet away behind the Taoist temple.

The sun was shining brightly now, it was noon, and the cave was quite bright.

Yingbao took off her shoes and waded into the cave without daring to go inside. She stood on a fairly flat place and took out a chisel and two peonies from the cave.

He used a chisel to dig out two pits and buried two very strong peonies with the soil in them.

After pouring water on the Pupil Spring and cleaning up the gravel so that nothing strange could be seen in the cave, he put away the chisel and other objects and waded out of the cave.

The inside of the cave is much warmer than outside, so it is estimated that these two peonies can survive for a long time.
