Chapter 575: Winning the flag, the matchmaker is hard to do

The weather in October is getting colder and colder.

The city is a little better. In the mountains and forests, the cold wind whistles by, and even cotton coats are wrapped around it, it is difficult to keep warm. For ordinary people, this is certainly a difficult time, and for bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings, it is also the most difficult time for the year. First, we have to prepare food for winter, and second, we have to make firewood, charcoal, cotton coats, quilts, etc. for winter. If the villages with a large population can go down the mountain and go to the business and traveling to the business and traveling to make teeth sacrifices. If the villages with a small population, most of them will be in groups and even hire people to take care of the business and traveling.

Therefore, there is only one best way to make money at this time, meat tickets.

For several days, three or five great men booked a small inn southwest of Yizhou City. Because the small inn had only three rooms, all of which were large shops. The inn shopkeepers were looking for money, and the big men were all fierce and fierce, so he naturally ignored what they were doing in his small inn. Even on the evening of the fourth day, several people came back with a big box, and he pretended not to see it. It was not until early morning on the fifth day that they found that everyone was leaving clean, and he breathed a sigh of relief. But when he checked the bottom of his box, the shopkeeper found that not only the ten taels of silver that he had obtained first disappeared, but even the thirty or forty taels of silver that had been accumulated for many years were empty. He immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet, and hurried to report to the official.

However, there was another person in Yizhou County who reported the case, the Huang family, a famous wealthy family in the county, who sued that the youngest son of the head of the family was kidnapped. The shopkeeper who was familiar with the yamen runners wanted to file a case quickly found out that three or five great men kidnapped the young master of the Huang family. He was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He could not even report the case. He casually made a reason and slipped back. As expected, in the afternoon of that day, he heard that this was done by a group of bandits on the nearby Kuangdu Mountain, and asked the Huang family to pay 2,000 taels of silver to redeem the people. If there was no silver within three days, the meat bill would be dead. When he learned about this, the shopkeeper had recited countless Amitabha Buddha and secretly glad that he had only lost dozens of taels of silver. If others wanted to silence him, his life would be gone.

Although Yizhou is an important place in Jinan, the bandits and Xiangma thieves have been rampant for more than a day or two. Even though the Huang family master once served as a county magistrate, his eldest son is still a juren, but he never thought of convinceing the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them. In the past few years, it was not a big family who had suffered such a disaster. However, the final result was to lose his wife and lose his troops. Over time, it became a routine. Although the bandits on the poor mountain had only more than a hundred people, the rumors were said to be in contact with Yang Hu, who was very famous in the area of ​​Jinan. In encountering such a thing, the government kept hiding and not reporting it. The big family took out the money to redeem the people themselves, and the bandits were happy when they got the money.

Wu was very sure of being used to this set of fans. At this moment, in the simple meeting hall in the village, he picked up a large bowl full of wine and greeted several big men who followed him. He drank it first, and then shook the signature fan and smiled: "You are doing this ticket beautifully! This old thief Huang is rich, but he is usually stingy. This time he should kill him hard. When this ticket is made, whether it is a cotton jacket, firewood, charcoal, food, or wine, or weapons, it is enough for us to change the cannons!"

"It's all the masters' tricks. The youngest in the Huang family looked tall and powerful, but who knew that they were so unscrupulous and incompetent, and their vision was really not good. An Xiaobai threw two charming eyes and captured the man, but this time he did a light job!"

"If there is such a good thing in the future, just discipline An Xiaobai, and pretend to be a woman and appear vividly!"

Although he was both joking and ridiculed by others, An Xiaobai, who was tall, fair-skinned, and not like others, was not raising his head without saying a word, and his face was full of respect. Fan Wu thought that when this kid was snatched up the mountain, he said he could read, but he kept it and didn't kill him. It was really useful, so he couldn't help laughing: "If you have such a thing in the future, let him take action alone, so that everyone can get away with it! With him, who is literate, how much trouble we can save!"

Seeing a group of people laughing again, An Xiaobai poured wine for someone as Fan Ziwu's instructions. Although he was like a servant, he had no complaints. (") When he was drunk, a bad bandit touched his face without any scruples, and then laughed: "After that, the boss, I heard that Feng, the big sword in Matouzhai, recently recruited a group of people. Should we take the people around there, so that he would not know who he was?"

"I'm afraid he's a bird! His big blade scares others, but I can't scare me. This guy is just a fancy and missed flower stand. Not to mention that he can recruit more than a dozen people, even if he really pulls hundreds of people, it won't be a climate! Besides, who is behind our 100 people? It's a tiger in our south of the Jinnan. He dares to come and provoke us, and he's brave! "

After Fan Wu said this, everyone burst into laughter and they were drunk. At this moment, a capable man who had been sent to Yizhou City to inquire about the news came in to report that it was the Huang family who was raising money urgently. Fan Wu couldn't help but drink the strong wine in the bowl with sips of sip, and then threw the bowl to the ground.

"Brothers, I will definitely come here these days when I send money. Let's take a look at the God of Wealth. Then we can send his wife back peacefully, so that we can do the next vote!"

"oh!"

The big leaders drank and ate meat in the meeting hall, and the people patrolling the mountains were not so lucky. Although they tightened their cotton coats, the omnipresent mountain wind could still penetrate into their necks and sleeves. Therefore, in this season, naturally no one would be too careful, but Xu Yingshuo was strolling around for a while. After all, this village was an abandoned inspection department of the imperial court in Wuxuan, which was placed in an extremely dangerous position. After renovation, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, there was no movement in the Yizhou officers and soldiers, so naturally no one was afraid of anyone coming to attack. When handing over the shift, the two old bandits in charge of the post even joked.

"Look at the young master of the Huang family, I don't know if the boss can take him too much?"

"That's a meat ticket worth 2,000 taels. Even if you can't afford it now, you're still well-fed and well-fed. The boss is not the one who loses the big picture because of the small. If you want to talk about fine skin and tender meat, are there no more suitable people in our village?"

The two of them looked at each other ambiguously, and then smacked their lips again. The villages are full of men. Although some people marry women at the top of the leader, most of them are carefully placed in secret places in the countryside of the city, and the women they occasionally snatched up have very few opportunities to enjoy. They have been bachelors all their lives, and they can only occasionally go down the mountain to lose some money to relieve the fire when they go down the mountain. Over time, the boys in the group with tender skin and tender flesh and lack of ability are naturally coveted. It’s a pity that An Xiaobai is a person around the boss, and no one can touch each other, so they can only say a few words behind their backs.

The two old brothers who had been in the gang for many years were muttering, and suddenly they heard a whistle. Before they could react, they felt that something was pushing hard behind their backs, and they fell forward at the same time. Then they felt a sharp pain on their backs. When they realized that it was an enemy attack, the man had fallen to the ground like a dog chewing mud. It was difficult to struggle. One of them had the strength to raise his strength, but he could only scream loudly.

"Enemy...attack!"

The second word "没" was cut directly into the throat. Another person who had not shouted out saw a man in gray leaping up, and his sword fell, and he actually lifted his companion's bloody head in his hand. He was so shocked that he fainted. The man in gray was holding a knife and was about to kill another person. Seeing that the person was lying on the ground, he spat and cursed with a bad luck. Then he waved his sword high and waved his head back. In a short while, twenty or thirty people flipped up quickly from the cliff under the post. Finally, a man with a ghost-headed sword came up. After he came up, he saw a headless corpse lying in front of him and another person who was shot in the back without knowing the arrow. He immediately shivered.

This group of people who came up the mountain were so fierce! The Liu brothers were driven out of Bazhou this time. Unexpectedly, they gathered up such a group of people to come back to take revenge. They had to hide their signs and put them in the jar! His wife and children were all in the hands of these two brothers, and they were actually puppets who had to be human. "But, it's not a day or two that Wu and his gang acted as a hero on him. After eating meat, they couldn't even drink soup. Since that's the case, it's nothing bad to destroy these ***!

"Master, issue the order!"

Although he was called "The Great Master", Dadao Feng couldn't hear much respect in it. Therefore, looking at the few confidants he brought out, he swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and then waved his ghost-headed sword and shouted: "Kill it up, this poor Dushan will never have the word "Fan Wu" from now on!"

"That's right, in the future, we will only be our Matou Village!"

Since it was cold and the young master of the Huang family was tied up, and the patrolmen were not dedicated to their efforts. Therefore, although the Dadao Feng was not in many people, he could kill gods and Buddhas along the way to the front of the meeting hall. Until here, the two guards in front of the front were a little more dedicated. Seeing such a large group of people coming up, they shouted for warning first. When the two guards were knocked down, the gate of the meeting hall was immediately opened, but Wu led several big men and rushed out with weapons.

"What's going on... Dadao Feng, after you take the courage of Xiong Xin and Leopard, you dare to come to my territory to play wild!"

Although Feng, the big sword, had never been confident before, and saw Fan Wu coming out in a fierce manner, he instinctively took a step back, but then he thought that he was different from the past. He immediately took the ghost-headed sword and went forward three times: "I have come, what can you do with me? Not only did I come today, I also have to use your head to pay tribute to those brothers in the past. There are no people below. You, the boss, should be with them! Brothers, just these last few, kill them!"

Hearing that the Xiatou guard post and the others had already finished, Fan Ziwu became panicked. Although he didn't believe that these twenty or thirty people could solve the hundred and ten people in the village, now they are a few against dozens of them. In a flash, he almost subconsciously shouted back. Several old brothers who had been with him for many years immediately followed him into the meeting hall and immediately blocked the door three times. Although the big sword Feng was extremely fast, the ghost sword had only had time to slash hard on the door.

"Son of Turtle, come out for me!"

"Just like you, a little guy, come up the mountain and think you can take my place? Go dream, Xiaobai, go and ring the bell, and gather people to decide the outcome with these turtle sons!"

As the bell gradually rang, Wu, a fan who had avoided entering the meeting hall, calmed down a little. On the one hand, he was glad that he had regarded this place as the last line of defense and reinforced it again and again. It took at least a while for people to break in, enough to wait for reinforcements; on the other hand, he couldn't help but suspicion that the Big Sword Feng suddenly became bolder. Although he had only met, the people under Big Sword Feng could not be faked. They were strong and powerful, and they were all innocent.

"Son of Turtle, do you still want to wait for reinforcements? Dream! If someone comes, they won't come out, and I will use fire to attack me and burn these *** to death!"

Fan Wu Ben thought it was just a talk outside, but in the noisy sound, he did not hear any expected fights, only the shouting and the sudden blazing fire outside the house. Before he could react, an old brother beside him shouted tremblingly: "It's fire attack, these dogs really want to burn us to death!"

Although they were fearless in robbing business travelers and kidnapped meat tickets, at this moment, the men were full of panic, especially when they smelled the real burnt smell of goods, even Fan Wu changed his face. He finally calmed down and shouted loudly: "Big Dao Feng, aren't you afraid that Brother Yang will bring people to dress up your village in the future!"

"Didn't you rely on Yang Hu's power? I'll tell you that you are not afraid of him coming, but you are afraid that he will not come!"

Seeing that the last move that had been so hard that it had never been effective, Fan Wu finally couldn't help it. Compared to death, he was even more afraid of being burned to death, so he winked at the left and right. Several people immediately rushed to the front and lifted the door bolt that he had just put down. At this time, Fan Wu shouted again.

"Big knife Feng, leave a little room for life. I will give you all the foundation of this poor mountain. As long as I leave my brother a way out, we will not care about what happened today in front of Brother Yang in the future..."

"Bah, stop talking nonsense. Kill you a few of you. This foundation is my own! Unless you surrender me, you won't mention anything. I count to five. If you don't come out and give me a clear word, I will burn this place to flat ground with a torch!"

At this moment, although he was extremely unwilling to give up, the bandits and horse thieves believed most was to keep the green mountains and not afraid of burning firewood. What's more, even if he wanted to endure it, the old brothers around him would definitely not die. Fan Ziwu had to grit his teeth, open the door and strode out, shouting: "Okay, I admit it, I will never dare to call the boss in the future. This title will give you this name!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that there were five or six bows and arrows on the left and right of the sword Feng, which were curved like a full moon, pointed at him in surprise. A man in gray next to the sword Feng suddenly waved his hand, and a cluster of arrows shot directly towards him. Although he immediately reacted to swing the sword to block the grid, he could not resist the volley after this volley. He was hit by arrows on his right shoulder, left leg and left flank one after another, and he stood up unsteadily and knelt down on one knee. He saw the sword Feng smiling and holding the ghost-headed sword forward, and immediately shouted instinctively: "You must die a good death..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the ghost-headed sword that he had laughed at for many years falling straight down. He almost didn't even have a loophole to dodge, and then his eyes suddenly raised. When he saw the headless body falling down below, he had the last thought.

This soft boy, I actually died in his hands!

With one knife, the depression of being bullied for many years was wiped out. Big Blade Feng immediately raised the head and laughed. As he came up, although most of the people were the man in gray and slashed with his subordinates, he was not without blood. He took the last advantage at this moment. In the eyes of the few leaders of Fan Wu's only one, the big Blade Feng, covered in blood, looked extremely ferocious. Although a short man roared and drew his sword forward, most people did not dare to move a step. Sure enough, the short man had not had time to rush to Big Blade Feng, and a feather arrow nailed to his throat with a very accurate head.

"If you want to surrender, throw down your weapons and kneel down, otherwise you will end up like these two!"

After being a poor mountain bandit for many years, Dadao Feng has only heard this proud sentence for the first time. Seeing the guys who used to show off in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh again. His family was held in front of him and had to obey Liu and Qi's depression was thrown to Java.

How could he and his ghost-headed sword be so majestic?

In a corner of the meeting hall, An Xiaobai, who was curled up there, stared at the headless corpse outside. A trace of revenge flashed in his eyes, but then it quickly disappeared. He used countless efforts to escape from the cage, but unexpectedly he was trapped here. The news that was enough to make him turn over was not useful, but it could not be delivered at all. But at this point, he had to ask for this useful life first and didn't care about anything else!

The news that a bandit was uprooted by the gangsters in the nanny was sent to Xu Xun's desk was the next morning. This was just a small drill, so the expected victory did not make him very happy. After all, it was necessary to make a fool of himself, and this group of bandits who were usually robbed and kidnapped meat tickets. And after this time, whether they could succeed after others were prepared is the most important thing.

Except for Tu Xun, only Cao Qian knew about theft. Even Zhang Yong and Shen Ying thought that Xu Xun had transferred 300 people to the Jiubian to inquire about military affairs, and did not expect anything else. At this moment, when Cao Qian saw Xu Xun sitting down behind the desk, he stepped forward and stood beside him and whispered: "Sir, do you have to continue immediately next?"

"When the news spreads, let's take a look at the reaction everywhere. If time is too late, then make another vote! Before the New Year, you must show your prestige... Bai Ying from the White Lotus Sect is so uneasy that it is so uneasy that people are most likely to believe in it. They must be removed as soon as possible."

"What the lord said is extremely true!"

Although Cao Qian followed Xu Xun for a short time, he had to make a secret in a short time. He himself knew that it was because of the light of his father Cao Xiong and his mentor Yang Yiqing. So he participated in some things personally, but he looked at some things coldly and guessed a rough idea. He admired Pingbei Bo, who was younger than himself and less than one year older than his younger brother. At this moment, he sincerely agreed, but suddenly realized that Xu Xun turned his head and looked over.

"Xiao Cao, I heard you have a sister?"

Cao Qian was stunned by Xu Xun's huge leap. He was a little confused about Xu Xun's intention for a while, so he had to say carefully: "Report to the master, I have a sister."

"How old is it, have you ever been granted?"

Knowing that Xu Xun had only one wife in his family and was pregnant with Liujia, Cao Qian suddenly couldn't figure out why this question came, so he answered cautiously: "My sister is about fourteen years old this year, and she has not yet been allowed to be a name in the boudoir."

"Oh, fourteen..." Xu Xun pinched his fingers and then said thoughtfully, "If you want to say that you are just right... By the way, your father is going to Guyuan to become the general, and his family still stays in Yansui?"

"Reporting to the Lord, my father is from Xi'an, so my mother and sister have been staying in Xi'an. I have not taken office with Yansui before, so I have only been with me. Now that my father has just gone to Guyuan, I will naturally not take my family."

Xu Xun realized that he was taking it for granted. He smiled and raised his head and said, "I forgot that the deputy general of the general took office and would not take his family at any time. I won't fight with you. Let's just say it. The empress dowager told the emperor that the prince of Shouning is about the same age. Please ask the emperor to help find a marriage. Although there are many nobles in the capital and many officials, I have asked someone to ask the lady of Shouning. It seems that she thinks those daughters are too pampered. The prince of Shouning is now sent by the emperor to the Datong Army. It was the prince of Datong General Zhuang Jian who helped take care of the person. He has hidden his identity. I heard that he has done some rules. So I have been thinking about it and want to ask you."

This was already very clear. However, Cao Qian was stunned for a moment, but hesitated. Although Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, was a top honorary minister, had a bad reputation. Zhang Zong said that when he first arrived in Datong, his behavior was also far away from him. Although this person had gradually restrained himself and worked diligently before he set off for Beijing, God knew whether he had really made a mistake. Moreover, the daughter-in-law of the foreign relative was really easy to do? But if his sister got married, she would inevitably have to be careful to please her parents-in-law. If she married a low marriage, her husband would not be able to do anything in the future. She would still be unable to raise her head?

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, how many days can I think about this matter?"

"This matter is not urgent, I just want to do it for a while. You can discuss it with your father."

Xu Xun nodded with a smile, but thought to himself that Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, who had some influence on Empress Dowager Zhang, but always caused trouble, wouldn't feel so relieved if he didn't hold it carefully in his palm. If Zhang Zong said he was really a bastard, that would be fine, but at least he was still a little responsible, so he could consider it. So, seeing Cao Qian withdraw, he suddenly said again: "By the way, if Ling Mei has a weak temper, I will pretend that this matter has not been mentioned. If Ling Mei is strong, you should consider discussing this matter with your father."

ps: Everyone sees the + number, speechless, this Ren + County is also a banned word... For this reason, I had to change Yi + County to Yizhou... What kind of world is this! There is only the last week left at the end of the month. Please give me a monthly ticket, and three tickets can be promoted to one ranking. After passing this village, there will be no store...
