Pan Gui stood in the yard, looking at the hut in the dark night, his eyes shining cruelly under the light of the torch.
Burn down the house of this coal yard and see how they can compete with the brother-in-law's coal yard.
As for the life and death of the people in the house, no matter what they do, there will be no day when hundreds of bodies are not left in the mass graves outside Beijing these days. corpse The people were refugees from outside the capital that Pan Gui had found.
They specialized in the business of robbing families and homes.
These people were dragging their families and living outside the capital, struggling to survive.
They were willing to do anything in order to survive and for the food they needed to survive.
Pan Gui only spent a few taels of silver to buy a load of coarse grains, and then persuaded seven or eight refugees to work for him.
Yang Zhengping held a torch and looked at the hut in front of him with complicated eyes.
He is from Cangzhou.
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Hou Jin soldiers entered the pass for the fourth time to rob, attacking all the way to the south, conquering Jinan Prefecture and dozens of prefectures and counties.
His hometown Cangzhou also fell at that time.
When the Hou Jin soldiers entered the city, his father ordered Yang Zhengping to hide in the cellar with his wife, who was several months pregnant.
Then he watched helplessly as his elderly parents were killed by the Jin soldiers, and his two sisters cried and were killed by the Hou Jin soldiers.
Jin Bing dragged him away.
In order to prevent his father from dying in silence, he could only grind his steel teeth and endure it.
After the Jin soldiers withdrew from the city, Yang Zhengping crawled out of the cellar with his wife, buried the bodies of his parents in tears, and then left Cangzhou and wandered to the capital.
In order to support his wife and children, Yang Zhengping did all kinds of work and endured all kinds of hardships.
However, it was too difficult for him to support a family of three by working hard alone.
In desperation, he relied on his martial arts skills to take over some dirty work, and he has been out of control ever since.
Helping people fight for territory, chasing debts, and blocking roads to rob.
Yang Zhengping has done too many dirty jobs in the past few years.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, even being sent to the army for eight thousand miles is not too much.
However, this was the first time he committed murder and arson.
Looking at the thatched hut in front of him, Yang Zhengping's eyelids were twitching.
If the fire burned down, the people in the house would have no physical signs.
Yang Zhengping hesitated, but the other refugees around him were all very excited.
These people were all real desperadoes.
Many of them had even eaten human flesh, so how could they care about murder and arson?
The refugee leader, whose face was covered with scars, smiled ferociously at the hut in front of him, and was about to throw the torch in his hand onto the roof.
Yang Zhengping was stunned for a moment with the sound of "clang".
He could hear that it was the firing sound of a crossbow, and then he saw the torch in the hand of Leader Scar next to him fall to the ground with a "clack", and then his burly body "thumped" He fell on his back with a sound, and a short arrow was stuck in his throat, with only a little of the tail exposed.
Yang Zhengping was shocked that there was a crossbowman in the room.
He hurriedly dropped the torch in his hand and dodged.
A crossbow arrow flew past him silently and was inserted into Pan Gui's thigh.
"Ah" Pan Gui screamed loudly, shattering the quiet night sky.
Following his scream, a figure rushed out of the house quickly, the sharp sword light flashing like Yama chasing souls and taking lives.
Every time the knife flashed by, a refugee fell down silently.
Seeing that his father Chen Jianghe had already killed him, Chen Yue put away the crossbow in his hand, picked up his spear and rushed out.
Three servants followed Chen Yue with white wax poles in their hands.
Chen Jianghe slashed three refugees in a row, and then the Wild Goose Wing Saber was caught by a long spear.
He couldn't help but be startled.
The refugee opposite turned out to be a rare master of spear-wielding.
The tip of the spear flashed with great skill.
Chen Jianghe's interest was immediately piqued.
He stood up, waving the wild goose-wing knife and fought with the refugees on the opposite side.

Among the eight refugees, there are two people who are really capable of fighting.
One is Scarface who was shot to death by a crossbow arrow, and the other is Yang Zhengping who fought with Chen Jianghe.
The rest of them are just a ragtag group of people.
Ordinary people who don't know martial arts rely on their strength to do things like robbing families and homes.
Chen Yue held a spear in his hand and rushed into the crowd.
He used the skill of a thousand stabs that he practiced hard every day.
The tip of the spear stabbed out one after another, fast and hard, stabbing several people in succession.
No one could escape.
"Oh my God!"
The last refugee stared blankly at his accomplices being stabbed one by one.
He was so frightened that he dropped the shovel in his hand and turned around to run away.
There was no need for Chen Yue to take action again.
The three young servants roared and chased after him.
They caught up with the homeless man who was wielding a white wax pole and struck him on the head with sticks before he ran out of the gate.
The more Yang Zhengping fought, the more frightened he became.
The person he was fighting was definitely a master.
His sword skills were elegant and ruthless, and he always cut from unexpected places.
The young man who stabbed several of his accomplices in succession was also an expert with guns.
Although he just stood aside with a long gun, Yang Zhengping had to distract himself to prevent him from sneak attacks.
Chen Jianghe became more and more excited as he fought.
It had been a long time since he had fought so happily.
With a clear whistle, he separated the opponent's spear, flew up and kicked the opponent's gun-holding wrist, and then placed the long knife on the neck of the opponent who had lost the spear.
Feeling the sharp blade, Yang Zhengping closed his eyes, and the faces of his wife and children flashed in his mind.
How long can they live in this world without him?
The fleeing refugees were beaten to death by three young servants.
They were too nervous during the first battle and did not know how to attack.
The only ones who survived were Pan Gui, who was shot in the thigh by a crossbow arrow, and Yang Zhengping, who was captured alive by Chen Jianghe.
Cherishing each other's martial arts, Chen Jianghe was not willing to do anything cruel.
"Tell me, who are you?
Why did you come to my house to kill people and set fire?"
In the room, three servants held torches, and Chen Jianghe sat in the middle, questioning each other's origins.
This group of people came here just to kill people and set fires.
Chen Jianghe didn't feel at ease if he didn't know who was responsible for him.
Yang Zhengping stood quietly in the middle of the room without saying a word, not because he had professional ethics and did not want to reveal his employer's information, but because his employer was right beside him and there was no need for him to say anything.
Pan Gui sat on the ground in the house holding his thighs, watching the bribed refugees being killed one after another.
His courage had long been frightened.
Immediately, he told the whole story of the incident, explained everything, put all the responsibilities on his brother-in-law Yang Can, and cried and begged for his life.
He was the mastermind behind the coal yard owner of the Yang Family Coal Yard.
Chen Jianghe and Chen Yue looked at each other and suddenly realized that they both knew Yang Can, the owner of the Yang Family Coal Yard.
Their coal yard supplied coal to several neighborhoods near their home.
It seems that my own business got in the way, which caused this disaster.
It was just a normal business competition, but extreme measures such as murder and arson were used.
Chen Yue's heart suddenly ignited with raging anger.
If he hadn't stayed up half the night because he was thinking about business, a family of six might have been burned to death in their sleep.
Yang Family Coal Yard, Yang Can, I must settle this account with you:
