Chapter 662: Being a Bandit(1/2)
Perhaps it was because of the rise in prices that caused public grievances in the Jiangnan area, as if God had also brought a response.
These days, the spring breeze is everywhere in the nights of Jiangnan, and the whole sky is covered with dark clouds, making it particularly dark.
It really corresponds to the saying that night is dark and windy and murderous!
As the mother river of Huating County, the Wusong River flows slowly, and the sound of gurgling water is particularly clear in the quiet night.
A hidden valley next to Wusong River is far away from the county town and is rarely visited. It is a paradise for insects, birds and beasts on weekdays.
But in this dark forest, there were two black shadows squirming.
"Old Zhang, there is not even a ghost here at night, so we have to divide several groups of people to serve on duty on the Internet and dark whistles. Do you think the young master of the Wang family is too careful?"
Perhaps to boost courage, one of the black shadows asked softly in a nervous voice.
Another group of black shadows stopped and said, "Oh, what's the solution? Don't say too much, let's do it!"
Hearing the response, the person who spoke just now was obviously much more courageous, but he didn't stop talking. Instead, he asked again: "Old Zhang, how could the Wang family have such a great ability to transport all of so many supplies here? Now that the city is in short supply, why not sell it out?"
After pondering for a moment, the man who called Lao Zhang sighed: "Isn't it for money? If there are too many supplies, how can you sell them for money? These things are all supplies stolen by various families who lied to the pirates, and the purpose is to increase the price."
Hearing this, the other man seemed a little angry: "Today, news came from home that he could not buy anything in the city. Even if it was sold, the price was several times the same as before. It was so difficult. These Jiangnan masters were really hateful. They should ignore the lives and deaths of us little people for their own interests."
After saying that, the anger on his face did not hide.
As soon as these words were said, the man who called Lao Zhang was so scared that his face was pale, and he could see a hint of horror in the dark night.
The man named Lao Zhang quickly scolded, "Shh, Xiao Li, how can you say such words? Are you looking for death? We are just servants, don't drag me down."
Xiao Li held his mouth a little disregardedly: "I just complained about what's wrong. The reason why I sold myself to the Wang family was because my family had no money. Do you know that the money I sold myself a few days ago was just enough to buy dozens of kilograms of brown rice. How can my family live? Besides, let's just talk about it, and it won't spread it. Just treat it as passing the time at night."
The man named Lao Zhang did not refute anymore, and after hearing this, he looked helpless: "Yes, the prices are rising too much now, and the family has no money to buy things when sending letters. It is said that the reason why prices have risen so quickly is because these men from Jiangnan want to drive the new governor back to Guanzhong."
"So that's the case. I heard that this Grand Commander is a dog official with great skill and prefers to be vicious. Do you think it's true?" Xiao Li seemed very interested.
Lao Zhang paused and said, "I don't know if the new governor likes to be a human brain, but there is no such thing as Sha Liang and Mao Gong. You just came here. You don't know. Many familiar faces from the Wang family were gone some time ago. It is said that those people were drawn to participate in the Battle of Yuntai Mountain."
"Ah? It turns out that the rumors that the Grand Commander was besieged and trapped in Yuntai Mountain are true. Then the Wang family is too bold, right?" Xiao Li was surprised and inexplicably.
Lao Zhang nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's true. If there weren't many people in the Wang family who died in the Battle of Yuntaishan, I wouldn't have recruited new people this time. We don't have to worry about these things. We should take good care of ourselves. If prices keep rising, everyone in the family will not be able to survive. Oh, if that's the case, I won't have much hope of living!"
For a moment, both of them fell into silence, apparently worried about the fate of themselves and their families.
But they are all the servants at the bottom, and they can only sigh deeply.
After a long time, Xiao Li said hesitantly: "Old Zhang, I heard that the new governor issued a new decree. No matter who it is, as long as he is willing to work and work, he can live in a house and get a salary. Do you think it is true? There is such a good thing in the world?"
Old Zhang sighed lightly: "I heard about it, but unfortunately I dare not go. I am afraid that my family will be retaliated by the Wang family. What's more, these Jiangnan masters are the local emperors here, and this great governor may not be able to fight."
Xiao Li remained silent, but from his glittering eyes, he seemed to have made some decision.
Just as Xiao Li and Lao Zhang were whispering, they did not notice that the mountains and forests seemed to be alive, and clusters of black shadows kept approaching them.
When the two of them found out that their mouths were covered and their necks were also pressed by a cold weapon.
Just when the two felt they were about to die, a low voice came from their ears.
"If you don't want to die, don't yell, otherwise you will be spilled blood on the spot."
As he said that, the visitor let go of Lao Zhang's mouth and asked softly: "How many people are there on the mountain? How many guards have been arranged? Is there any code words..."
Old Zhang was afraid that he would slow his answer and move, so he quickly said, "There are about 200 people on the mountain. When the young master arranged for the duty, there were three people in total. We were the outermost, and there were two people on duty inside. I didn't explain any code words tonight. Bie Ye, I said everything, you can't kill me!"
Bandit?
Xi Junmai was a little confused.
He really didn't expect that one day he would be considered a bandit.
After thinking about it, I took it for granted.
Originally, Yang Fan asked them to pretend to be bandits to intercept the truth.
Xi Junmai has been conducting openly and secretly for several days before he found the places where the Jiangnan gentry hides supplies.
I originally wanted to attack the mountain, but after hearing the conversation between the two, I decided to spare their lives.
After all, Xi Junmai is also from the bottom of the class, so he naturally knows the misery and helplessness of the bottom of the class.
Knowing the situation, Xi Junmai ordered: "Call them out and let's kill them..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Li quickly shouted: "General, I am willing to help you lead the way..."
Xi Junmai looked at the young man with some surprise and asked sternly: "Do you know who we are?"
Xiao Li gritted his teeth and explained nervously: "The little one is just a guess, please don't blame him."
"Oh, then tell me!" Xi Junmai asked with interest.
Xiao Li took a few deep breaths to stabilize himself: "The young one judged from your words and deeds and behaviors. If you are an ordinary bandit leader, you will not leave any survivors in order to achieve your goal. Since your goal is on the mountain, it means that you are here for the supplies in the mountain. The people in the city dare not and cannot make any ideas about these supplies. The only person who dares to fight against the master Jiangnan is the new Grand Commander. Therefore, the young one dares to speculate that the general is under the command of the Grand Commander."
Xi Junmai grinned, showed off her big white teeth, and smiled and said, "You are not bad, are you interested in joining us?"
In Xi Junmai's opinion, this young man is a little clever. If he trains him well, he should have good potential.
Li Xiao was overjoyed and immediately knelt down and said, "Little Li Ergou, I am willing to serve the general."
Xi Junmai patted his shoulder and said with a solemn expression: "Remember, we are serving the Grand Commander, go... lead the way ahead, let's kill you."
"promise!"
As he said that, Li Ergou took the lead and rushed up the mountain.
With Li Ergou, the undercover agent, Xi Jun bought his team and arrived on the mountain smoothly.
Xi Junmai planned to capture the thief first.
According to Li Ergou, the person in charge of the mountain was Wang Huai, the eldest son of the Wang family.
When Wang Huai opened his eyes, a steel knife was pressed against his neck, and his face was pale in fear.
However, Wang Huai had two brushes and quickly confirmed that Xi Jun bought the leader.
Looking at Xi Junmai, Wang Huai shouted sternly: "Who are you? Do you know who I am? Let me go quickly. I can leave you alone, otherwise you will definitely make life worse than death."
Seeing that Wang Huai still couldn't recognize the situation, Xi Jun's face was as deep as water, and snorted disdainfully: "Don't bark here, just because you deserve to ask grandpa's name? Grandpa is here to rob, and he has no time to mess with you here. Hurry up and summon all the people here."
Xi Junmai didn't take this group of mobs seriously at all.
It is not easy to catch all these people in one go. Only by gathering them together will it be more convenient to do it.
What's more, there are still many people missing in Huating County, who can persuade some people to surrender, and they can also have some labor.
Upon hearing this, Wang Huai was very angry, but he did not dare to act rashly. He just stared at Xi Junmai fiercely, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
This guy is simply arrogant!
However, Wang Huai was so happy.
In his opinion, as long as his guard arrives, these people will definitely surrender.
Soon, more than 200 guards on the mountain were called in a sleepy way.
When he saw Wang Huai being controlled, he realized that something big had happened.
At this time, Wang Huai became much more confident and said, "I wonder what the purpose of your hijacking me? We can have a good talk about anything."
Xi Junmai was too lazy to pay attention to him, but instead turned around and asked Li Ergou beside him: "All the people here are here?"
"As far as I know, I should have come here." Li Ergou nodded.
I don’t know if it was because Li Ergou betrayed him or because Xi Junbu’s ignorance, Wang Huai’s face turned red with anger and said angrily: “What do you mean by this?”
Xi Junmai then turned to Wang Huai, and Dandan said, "Since you are all here, I don't talk nonsense. Whoever wants to die will put down your weapons and surrender. In addition, I have all the supplies on the mountain!"
Hearing this, Wang Huai laughed angry.
How could anyone dare to be so arrogant in this acre of three-part land in Huating County?
What's more, did the other party not see their more than 200 guards surrounding them?
Although there are dozens of men in black, the other party is several times more.
Wang Huai immediately cursed arrogantly: "Who do you think you are? Haha, if you just took me away without knowing it, I am still afraid of you. Now that there are so many of us, you still want to threaten me, you are stupid."
Xi Junmai was too lazy to talk nonsense to this idiot and waved to his subordinates.
These special forces soldiers were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and in a few efforts, they knocked the Wang family to the ground.
Wang Huai was stunned!
Is his own guard so weak?
He didn't think it was because these special forces were too strong!
Under Xi Jun's temptation to buy Vibe, more than half of the Wang family's servants chose to surrender.
As for those who were loyal to the Wang family, Xi Junmai was not polite, and he was in a hurry to be in trouble.
However, what made Xi Junmai happy was that there were too many supplies and money on the mountain.
Materials alone can definitely ensure that 100,000 people can eat for several months.
All the money Wang family earned these days is concentrated here, which is definitely an astronomical figure.
