Longchuan Village.

The burned houses at the entrance of the village were shaking, and blood was seen from time to time on the roads that were sorted out. The collected bodies were piled up outside the village, and someone was cutting down big trees to make coffins not far away.

Whispering sounds spread throughout the village, and mourning clothes were everywhere. Although the Japanese pirates failed to attack the village, more than 30 villagers were killed in the last wave, and the defeated officers and soldiers, the township bravely died and injured, which made it hard to believe that the opponent was just a Japanese pirate with less than a hundred people.

In the mansion in the middle of the village, Hu Zongming sat in the main seat, Qian Zheng, Gu Chengzhi, Zhong Nan, Yang Wen and others sat in the lower head, all of whom looked dim.

In the woodshed not far away.

Wang Lu, who was tied tightly to the chair, lowered his head weakly, with a bandage on his head, but his body was covered in bruises.

"Wow!"

A basin of cold water that had just been poured out of the well was poured, and Wang Lu was shocked and tried to curl up.

Wang Yi, who had just rushed all the way from Yiwu, raised his wooden stick with a penis face and lifted Wang Lu's chin, "Say it again."

Wang Lu coughed a few times, spit out a tooth, and barely opened his mouth: "I was captured by the Japanese pirates... I won't catch the Japanese pirates..."

"On April 30th, you went down the mountain to buy sesame cakes and meat for the Japanese pirates, and bought the medicinal materials from two medicine shops."

Xu Wei, who seemed to be thinner than before, walked over and grabbed Wang Lu's chin in one step, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"On May 3, you appeared outside Jixi County and took a detour to Longchuan Village. Three villagers who went up the mountain to chop firewood recognized you."

"And that road was the way for the Japanese pirates to raid Longchuan Village."

"What a coincidence?"

Xu Wei let go of his hand and slapped him, "What do you think...will happen if I hand you over to Longchuan Village?"

"No...no..." Wang Lu on the chair struggled. He knew the consequences too well. Burying alive was a happy way to die.

"Yes... it was the accountant of the medicine shop who smashed me..."

"What drug store account?"

"That person in blue... His name is Tan Yuan. It is said that he is the accountant of a medicine shop in Songjiang Mansion. The Ming people among the Japanese pirates know him..."

"Cough cough." Wang Yi, who was beside him, nodded slightly, indicating that it was Qian Yuan.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Zhang San stepped in quickly, whispered in Xu Wei's ear.

"Are you Wang Zhi's cousin?" Xu Wei pursed his lips. Although he couldn't figure it out completely, he vaguely knew something.

"Continue?" Wang Yi picked up the torture instrument he had just been shot.

"continue."

The wailing continued to sound. After three cups of tea, Xu Wei walked out of the woodshed with a piece of paper full of words.

"Dispose it?" Zhang San asked in a low voice.

Before Wang Yi could answer, Xu Wei paused, "No, lock it up, maybe it will be useful in the future."

The three of them walked into the lobby where they had been silent. The first person to ask was Qian Zheng. He looked at Xu Wei nervously, afraid that he would bring any bad news.

"The Japanese pirates entered Huizhou Prefecture about 90 people, and six people were robbed near Songmingshan, She County. Five of them were either doctors, apprentices, or friends from medicine shops, because the Japanese pirate guide was injured..."

"Why..."

Wang Yi glanced at Yang Wen, "Before the Chongde victory the next year, the young master encountered a group of robbers on the road. One of the robbers did not escape from Chongde County because of his broken leg. It happened to be among the Japanese pirates this time."

"Crack." Yang Wen couldn't help but use force when holding the handrail. It was him who broke the man's leg. "At that time, the young master spent money to buy a road, pretending to be the accountant of the Gujia Pharmaceutical Store in Songjiang."

"One of them was injured and could not travel and was killed. Three were killed outside Longchuan Village, with only two people, one was Zhan Cai and the other was Wang Lu." Xu Wei continued: "A total of ten Japanese pirates were picked up outside the village, which means that there were about eighty Japanese pirates, and more than seventy of them were real Japanese."

"Really Japanese?" Hu Zongming raised his eyebrows, "Can you understand Chinese?"

"I don't understand." Xu Wei glanced at the confession, "From Wang Lu's confession, this Japanese pirates will continue to go north... Uh, it should be Jingde."

Everyone fell silent and their eyes were focused on Qian Zheng, because Jingde belonged to Ningguo Mansion. According to the rules, Qian Zheng, the Huizhou magistrate, cannot cross the border and pursue him. Most of the reinforcements this time were local township soldiers and guards.

"Continue to pursue." Yang Wencai didn't care what Qian Zheng thought.

"Eighteen people were killed in this escort battle and nine were seriously injured." Wang Yi took over the conversation, "Thirty-two people came from Yiwu, and there were still fifty or sixty people available."

"Jiading, Chongde, Huating, Linpingshan..." Zhang San gritted his teeth and said, "We have never suffered such a big loss, let alone the young master is still in their hands."

"The three hundred soldiers sent by the Governor's Office are useless at all." Zhong Nan touched Miao Dao at his waist and shook his head, "Huizhou Guards, the township hero... I still have 150 people here, and more than 200 people together. As long as you are careful, there should be no big problem."

Qian Zheng, who had always wanted to speak but couldn't get into his mouth, hit the table, "Continue to chase, go together, and go out to recruit the local heroes."

Wang Yi nodded slightly and turned to look at Hu Zongming, "The wounded stayed in Longchuan, hope..."

"I have to bear this matter with all my strength." Hu Zong waved his hand clearly, "But this Japanese pirates... are really strange. Huizhou Prefecture has always been barren..."

"Before in Hangzhou, Hu Zhongcheng thought that this Japanese pirates were extremely strange, killed a lot, had extraordinary combat power, set fire everywhere, but almost no robbery of property." Xu Wei held the hot tea in his hand but did not drink it, licked his dry lips and said: "In the battle outside the village three days ago, although the number of Japanese pirates was small, they were extremely cunning...slim and conspiring, fierce and good at fighting, and very thief!"

Hu Zongming sighed deeply. He had been resigning for six years and had no desire to recover. Less than half a year after his cousin Hu Zongxian took office as governor of Zhejiang, the Japanese pirates raided Huizhou Prefecture, which had never been involved in it, and rushed straight to Longchuan Village. This was really not good news for the Hu family in Longchuan.

Qian Zheng looked around and asked tentatively: "What's wrong with Brother Yuan?"

Xu Wei and Wang Yi looked at each other, and the latter reluctantly smiled and said, "It's not bad, at least it's not hurt or abused."

"Are you sure to rescue me?"

The lobby was silent. Who could say this is accurate? Three days ago, the Japanese pirates seemed to be retreating, but the three captured people took the opportunity to escape but were hacked to death one by one at the entrance of the village.

Qian Zheng grabbed his hair regardless of dignity. If his nephew died at the hands of the Japanese pirates, how could he explain to his widowed sister-in-law and how could he explain to his brother under the sacred springs?

"Zhancai is under twenty years old, and has made many military achievements on the southeast coast. He has hidden all kinds of strategies and has good plans in his belly."

Xu Wei whispered loudly: "Although I am now surrounded by Japanese pirates, as long as I am not thrown away by Japanese pirates, Zhan will definitely have a chance to escape safely."

Everyone will say something to boost morale, but no one can listen. Since the Japanese pirates invaded Huizhou Prefecture, hundreds of soldiers died under the knife, which shows their cruelty.
