The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 358 Did you just pretend to be dead?

Du Wan did not kill Tu Zuo on the spot.

 At any rate, he was one of the big figures in the rebels. He was killed in full public view, which was a big trouble.

It would be foolish to do something openly, so it is better to do it covertly. Just as Pei Hao planned, by assassinating important figures, the rebels themselves would be dispersed, and the casualties would be reduced when the imperial army came over.

Du Wan doesn’t like fighting.

 In the past, if you watched war-time theaters, you would know that countless people were sacrificed in every war.

 Next, Du Wan did something incredible.

　　They searched all the men Tu Zuo had brought and beat down those who refused.

According to Du Wan, "They are not good people. Do you think that wearing a military uniform means you are a good person? Bandits are still bandits."

 One person robbed hundreds of people.

 Du Wan's achievements were unprecedented.

In the eyes of others, this young man is more like a bandit than a bandit.

The two Dawa brothers were young but capable. They quickly packed up the collected silver and banknotes, and also took down Du Wan's baggage and mink cloak from upstairs.

 Young master has killed someone before, and he will definitely run away later.

 The farce ended when another person came outside the inn, a group of soldiers, all holding torches.

 The leader is a man in his twenties, with a medium build and a good appearance. Du Wan noticed this man. His eyes were pure and honest, but from his rough hands, it could be seen that he was a man who had endured hardship.

 Looking at the situation inside the inn, He Liang showed shock.

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was lying on the ground and shouted in surprise: "General He, help me!"

　　　…” There was silence all around.

The person who asked for help was a close confidant of Tu Zuo. He usually stood by Tu Zuo's side. It can be said that this person was responsible for all the bad things Tu Zuo had done.

Du Wan's long sword has been sheathed, her arms are folded across her chest, and she looks coldly at this man asking for help, "I moved too lightly, so you still have the strength to ask for help. You are still very energetic. Did you just pretend to be dead?"

"I-"

The man struggled to stand up, fled behind He Liang, and looked at Du Wan in fear.

He Liang looked around the situation in the lobby, looked around, and found Tu Zuo, whose life or death was uncertain, in the corner of the door. He strode over and felt Tu Zuo's pulse. He was relieved to know that the person was not dead yet.

As long as a person is not dead, there is nothing.

"He Liang, thank you very much for your mercy." He Liang thanked Du Wan.

Du Wan is no stranger to He Liang's voice.

However, what he did was quite beyond Du Wan's expectations. Isn't it said that officials protect each other?

Du Wan rolled his eyes and said, "So you are General He. You came just in time. I subdued these bandits and sent them to the county government office. It was so late at night that I missed my rest."

He Liang did not expect Du Wan to behave like this, "I am lax in running the army and have caused you trouble. Please allow me to take these people away. I guarantee that no one will dare to disturb your rest tonight."

 “It’s easy to talk about.” Du Wan took the eldest baby and the second baby and stepped aside.

The two brothers were waiting with their baggage, thinking they were leaving.

 In the end, Du Wan took the two of them upstairs, did he mean to continue living here?

Dawa whispered worriedly: "Master, do they really not know how to retaliate?"

"How is it possible? But you don't need to worry about this. I will solve it myself." Du Wan didn't think that the matter would be settled like this. Not to mention that she had lost the face of the rebels, just talk about the large amount of money she had collected tonight. , so many people saw it, and I don’t know how many people were tempted.

These are all things Du Wan expected.

  Anyway, she came to the southwest just to cause trouble.

He Liang was in a high position, so he had Tu Zuo carried and walked easily.

Du Wan was quite surprised and stared at He Liang's situation intently.

 It didn’t take long.

Du Wan heard the conversation between He Liang and his general again.

The general was extremely surprised, "...very powerful? Isn't he just a half-year-old child?"    "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it." He Liang briefly stated what he saw at the inn. Said, "Such a handsome young master cannot be raised by ordinary people."

 “Didn’t the general bring the person back to the county office?”

“Even Tu Zuo fell into his hands, do you think I can beat him?”

"It's hard for you. Tu Zuo's character is not good, but his martial arts is really strong."

  “…” He Liang witnessed Tu Zuo’s tragic situation with his own eyes.

 It is said that he was unable to fight back, just like the three people before.

He Liang looked down upon Tu Zuo as a person, but he had to admit that this man's martial arts skills were on par with him. But tonight I was beaten to death by a half-grown boy.

He Liang treated Du Wan with caution and vigilance, "If something happens to Tu Zuo, you still have to tell Chief Qiao."

“It’s time to say something, otherwise I don’t know what kind of arrangement it will be made by some people.”

　　　…”

The two of them chatted about some things, but Du Wan was not very interested.

 Du Wan, who was staying at the inn, thought about leaving.

 It's just that it's late at night, and it's not convenient to travel at night with two children.

Dawa came to report, "Sir, the innkeeper wants to see you."

 “Can you tell me anything?” Du Wan asked.

 “Unclear.”

 “Call people in.”

Du Wan didn't think about it at first, but she felt a little sorry when she thought that the whole family was implicated by her.

The shopkeeper was very reserved when he came over. First he thanked him for saving his life, and then asked if there was anyone who needed help. He also said that they wanted to leave overnight and so on.

Du Wan understood the key points.

　　It was because the shopkeeper was afraid of retaliation and wanted to escape with his family.

Du Wan asked: "Why didn't you escape before?"

"My father is seriously ill..." The shopkeeper is a filial son and does not want to leave his father behind and miss the best time to escape. According to the shopkeeper's current intention, they want to hide in the countryside.

 Du Wan reminded, “There is even less security in the countryside.”

"How to say?"

 “The bandits specially selected villages to plunder.”

“…” The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face.

How could he not know that there is no guarantee? But now, their family no longer dares to stay in the inn. In fact, he felt quite regretful at this moment. He should not have been greedy to make some money and opened the door for business.

Du Wan probably saw the shopkeeper's predicament and asked the eldest child to take out a hundred taels of cash and a thousand taels of silver notes as compensation. "The imperial army is coming soon and there will be a war soon. I suggest you find a hidden place first." A place to hide for a while.”

 “Thank you, my benefactor.”

The shopkeeper hesitated for a long time and accepted it.

 With the decision made, the shopkeeper left with his family.

 Before leaving, he also gave a large bag of dry food and dried meat to Du Wan.

Du Wan did not accept it and asked him to take it away.

The shopkeeper and his family of five wanted to leave through the back door. Du Wan secretly knocked out the spies outside the inn, allowing the shopkeeper and his family to leave smoothly.

Du Wan secretly followed their family for a while.

I met the shopkeeper and his family and hid in a dilapidated old house in the county. The main reason was that there was a large cellar where they could temporarily hide in case of emergency.

　　Du Wan saw that he had prepared a lot of food and water, enough for the family to eat for several months.
