Chapter Seventy-Five: The Past of the Beijiang Gang
More than twenty years ago.
The horse thieves are in trouble with the country of Yong'an, and the people are struggling to make a living.
The royal family is also helpless against the horse thieves, and can only wait for an opportunity to seek a counterattack.
In order to resist the horse thieves, he became brothers with six like-minded friends and jointly founded the Beijiang Gang to fight the horse thieves.
Because of their good strength and good use of stratagem, they have fought with horse thieves many times and taken advantage of them, and the horse thieves also hate them to the core.
Once, the Bac Giang Gang wiped out a stronghold of horse thieves and rescued a woman in captivity, who was attacking the tower. After that, Raida also joined the Bac Giang Gang.
There seems to be some kind of wonderful magic in the body of the raider, which makes the seven brothers fascinated, and all seven of them express their love for the raider, hoping that the raider will make a choice, but the raider does not immediately show his attitude.
Soon after, the raid disappeared, and it was shown that it was a horse thief. They wanted to go to the rescue tower, but found that the overall power of the horse thieves was too strong for the seven of them to fight against.
It's okay to fight guerrilla warfare, but the horse thieves can't catch them, so naturally there is nothing they can do about them. But if they want to attack the horse thief's lair, they have no chance of winning.
In desperation, the Seven Brothers came up with a very strange way to fight the horse thief.
The raider once revealed his identity. She is a saint from a foreign country, and her main job is to pray for the ancestral graves of dignitaries.
The people of the Wanfa Continent attach great importance to the burial places of their ancestors. The higher the status, the more the tombs of the ancestors in the family will be established in extremely secret places, and ordinary people will not have the opportunity to know about it.
Because of her identity, she knew the location of the ancestral graves of many noble families, and she also recorded all these locations in detail.
Before being captured, she had personally handed over this record to Ling Huixi. Intentionally or unintentionally, I reminded that the burial goods in these tombs were priceless treasures, suggesting that the seven brothers went to be tomb robbers.
The seven brothers were originally hot-blooded men who defended their families and the country, so they naturally refused to rob the tomb. But because of the obsession with the tower and the helplessness of the horse thief, everyone discussed a solution.
Steal the ancestral graves of certain famous generals and high-ranking officials, and then leave traces of horse thieves and let these people deal with horse thieves.
But since the royal family of Yong'an Kingdom was helpless against horse thieves, it was useless to steal the tombs of these people's homes, so they set their sights on another, more powerful country: the Ancient Holy Kingdom!
The Wanfa Continent is divided into five continents, and the place where Shen Lu and others live is called Zhongzhou. There are 12 large countries and hundreds of small countries in Zhongzhou.
The Yong'an Kingdom is one of the hundreds of small countries, and the Ancient Saint Kingdom is one of the twelve great countries in Zhongzhou. The headquarters of the Priesthood Guild is being set up in the Ancient Holy Kingdom. And the four major families to which Shen Lu belonged were also the four major families of the Ancient Holy Kingdom.
In terms of geography, as long as you pass through the Qianpan Mountain, you can reach the territory of the Ancient Holy Kingdom.
According to the address left behind by the raider, the seven brothers of the Beijiang Gang crossed the mountains and crossed the Qianpan Mountain, stole the ancient tombs of 17 famous generals and high-ranking officials in the ancient holy country, and faked them as horse thieves.
Not long after, the Ancient Saint Kingdom sent people to the Yong'an Kingdom secretly to kill all the main forces of the horse thieves.
Because the theft of the ancestral tomb was too embarrassing, the Ancient Holy Kingdom did not make a big deal about it. After killing the horse thief and recovering some of the burial goods, the matter is closed.
This is why the horse thieves were rampant back then, and Yong'an Guo had been helpless, but later gradually defeated the horse thieves.
It's not that they can really fight the horse thief if they are really united, but because the core combat power of the horse thief has already been slaughtered by the masters of the ancient holy kingdom.
The plan of the Seven Brothers was successful. Not only did he rescue the raiding tower, but he also put some of the burial goods in the horse thief's stronghold by framing him, which made the ancient saint convinced that it was the tomb of the horse thief.
In addition to this part of the funeral goods, the seven brothers also swallowed a lot of funeral goods.
At first, they robbed the tomb to save people, but they didn't want to steal the burial goods. However, they gradually discovered that these funerary goods were all precious and good. Either it can make people rich and rival the country, or it can make people instantly increase their combat power.
With so many precious treasures in front of you, who can't help but be impressed?
But tomb robbing is too immoral.
The seven brothers don't know if it's a bad curse, and in just three months, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth died one after another, and they all died in a very accidental and bizarre way.
Lao Qizhuo Yongkang was originally very normal, but because of the sudden mistake in practice, which caused a high fever and burned his head, he became the half-stupid and not stupid appearance he is now.
And these five people are the five most arrogant and indulgent people. The more they indulge in the advantages of these treasures and money, the more miserable they will die.
At that time, Ling Huixie and Zhuo Yongkang had been courting the tower, and they didn't have time to use these funeral items, but they saved their lives.
From that time on, Ling was convinced that tomb robbing would be punished by heaven. Therefore, he began to do good deeds widely, and prayed to God and Buddha every day, with great sincerity, in order to wash away his sin of robbing the tomb.
The names of Ling Huixie, Tang Tianshou, and Zhuo Yongkang are actually not the real names of the three of them. Rather, after they knew that tomb robbing would be punished by heaven, they deliberately changed the name, hoping to be auspicious, bless themselves with health and longevity, and retreat from evil.
In addition to the superstitious theory of ghosts, Ling Huixian also attaches more importance to brotherhood and family affection. Although the seventh brother Zhuo Yongkang is crazy, he still loves this brother who was born and died very much, and he doesn't want him to continue to be hurt.
This matter is the biggest secret of the Beijiang Gang.
Ling Huiyi came back to his senses from his thoughts, and said with a faint smile: "How could this hairy boy Shen Lu know about our affairs, are you thinking too much?"
Tang Tianshou patiently explained: "Shen Lu disclosed his identity as a seven-star brewer today, and promised to make a lot of money for our Fujia Chamber of Commerce, and gave me a contract to sign. ”
"What's the matter?" Ling Quye asked suspiciously.
"The problem is that what he used to hold this contract was a small coffin. ”
Tang Tianshou took out the coffin with a gloomy face and handed it to Ling Huixie, and then said, "He said that he could make us money, and then took out the contract from the coffin." Isn't this a clear implication that all our money was obtained from the coffins?
After hearing this explanation, Ling Huixie's face was also full of shock.
Gradually, his shock turned to anger.
"Shen Lu, you are really looking for death! I have kept the secret of Ling Wei for nearly thirty years, and I will never be exposed to the world because of you!"
......
The Royal Palace, the courtyard of the Grand Prince.
Baili Aotou is drinking and admiring the moon in the gazebo.
A glass of wine, a piece of pastry, a fan swaying gently, a small song humming softly, a leisurely appearance.
Not long after, his guards asked to see him. knelt on one knee and reported in a low voice: "The eldest prince really guessed correctly. After the third princess received the news that Shen Lu was ambushed, she went to the emperor to complain to the second prince. ”
"What is the attitude of the Emperor?" asked Baili Aotou casually.
According to the eyeliner, the emperor and the third princess had a big quarrel, and then locked the third princess in her courtyard, and at the same time sent six or seven masters to patrol her courtyard. ”
Baili Ao smiled slightly, and then said, "Ha, that's really the case." Although the third sister is adopted, her temper is really too similar to her father's, they are both stinky and hard. The father dared to lock up the third sister, and the third sister dared to directly kill those masters and escape from the palace. ”
The guard's face was full of puzzlement, and he looked like he wanted to say something. It seems that there are a lot of questions, but because of the identity, no matter how many questions are asked.
Baili Aotou was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Lone Shadow, you have been with me for more than ten years, right? ”
Lone Ying was flattered and said: "Yes, the eldest prince, what the subordinates don't understand is that what is the use of provoking the contradiction between the third princess and the emperor." ”
"Heh, you would ask this kind of question, which means that you don't know my sister too well. To tell the truth, if this three pieces are a man, the throne belongs to her! There is only one person in this Changge City that I dare not offend, and that is my third sister. ”
Baili Aotou said, with an expression of admiration on his face, and continued: "Before, the third sister didn't want to fight, so she has been forbearing. And the third sister obviously cares about Shen Lu very much, although she doesn't know what the relationship between the two is, but she can be sure that once Shen Lu has an accident, the third sister will never let go of the enemy. And this enemy is the second child. ”
The lonely shadow suddenly appeared.
It turned out that Baili Aotou did all this not to provoke the contradiction between the third princess and the emperor. Instead, through the contradictions between them, the mistakes of the second prince who started the crime were magnified.
After this quarrel, Dugu Yiyi will hold even more grudges against the second prince. And the emperor will also be dissatisfied with the second prince because of this nonsense.
Lone Shadow admired and said: "The eldest prince is clever. not only added fuel to the fire, but also calculated all the opponents in it, allowing them to kill each other. In this way, the fisherman's profit can be reaped. It's just ......"
Baili Aotou guessed his question and said with a smile: "You want to say, since I want to arrange for them to kill each other, why do you want to help the second child clean up the streets and create a venue for his ambush plan, right?"
"Yes, my subordinates don't understand that. In fact, the eldest prince, you can stay out of the matter, wouldn't it be better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
"That's too fake. Baili Aotou explained: "I am also a figure in the center of the whirlpool, how can I not intervene in this matter? In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Lu shined at the auction, and then the two princes felt the pressure and joined forces to deal with Shen Lu. This development is more reasonable. If I completely clean myself, it will look a little fake. ”
After a pause, he continued to laugh and said, "Besides, at most, I knew that there was going to be a fight in that place, and then evacuated the people, did I do something wrong? Do Shen Lu and the third sister have reason to hate me? And the second brother who prevented the guards from saving Shen Lu is the real culprit." ”
Lone Shadow gasped, he didn't expect the Great Prince's City Mansion to be so deep.
In order not to let yourself be suspected, but to get involved in advance. In order not to become the enemies of Shen Lu and Dugu Yiyi, he offended them first, but did not form an irreversible mortal enemy.
With such scheming, it is no wonder that in such a complex situation in Changge City, everyone can be played with.
"The eldest prince, my subordinates are convinced. ”
"Hehe, where is this? Wait and see, the show has just begun. ”
