It is a state with a large population, important transportation, mountains and rivers, and a developed economy.

This is also the hometown of the two saints of Qu Meng, and the state with the most prosperous literary style!

The people of this state, even if they are farmers, are more humble and courteous, respect talents, and attach great importance to those who read.

Therefore, the scholars who go to the imperial capital of Zhongju every three years to participate in the imperial examination belong to Jeju with the largest number of scholars, and the number of scholars in the middle of the examination is also the largest, and even in the court, a powerful "Ji Party" has been formed.

But......

Even so, Jeju's bandits and robbers are the largest among the ten states in the world.

Since Zhou Ming and others entered Jeju, they had only traveled more than 600 miles along the way, and they encountered five or six groups of shearing thieves, with a small number of seven or eight people, and a large number of dozens of people, who wanted to extort money and do that business.

However, these thieves didn't get any bargains, but were beaten violently by Li Dazui and eight clan soldiers, and they cried and cried for their mothers.

Zhou Ming asked these thieves curiously, why did they not let the good people go, but they wanted to be the thieves in the mountains and fields, and do the business of killing heads, so they were not afraid of the government chasing and hanging?

These thieves who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy explained the reason for him, in fact, they didn't want to be the thieves, but if they didn't do these things, they wouldn't be able to live at all!

In order to complete the task of collecting taxes, officials at all levels of the government have exploited the self-cultivated farmers who are honest and honest, and the imperial grain of one mu and two buckets has been added to two stones, as well as the poll tax and various miscellaneous taxes, as well as the gentry landlords, transferred to their heads for various kinds of servitude, and the burden of the self-cultivated farmers is unbearable.

So, will the tenant farmers who farm for the gentry landlords be a little easier?

After all, Jeju is the place where the two saints of Qu Meng were born, and it is a place where benevolence, righteousness and morality, sacrifice life for righteousness, and know etiquette in a down-to-earth manner.

Sorry, generally eighty percent, at least seventy percent! Less than sixty percent, almost unheard of, if there is really a certain landlord, only 60% of the rent, will be able to make a big news here.

Zhou Ming sneered: "This is the so-called Confucian way of Qu Meng, hypocritical and pretentious, cruel inside and outside, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and full of male thieves and female prostitutes in the stomach!"

After letting go of these thieves, Zhou Ming also asked Li Dazui to give some copper coins, and called these thieves to go to Haiping County in Qingzhou to look for job opportunities, where a steel plant had just been built, and there was a great demand for coal diggers and miners......

The thieves left with gratitude, as for whether they would go to Haiping County, thousands of miles away, Zhou Ming was not sure, the choice was in their hands, and there was only so much he could do.

Let's go!

In front of a mountain that must be passed, three more thieves stopped in front of everyone.

"Phew!"

"I drove this mountain. "The tall and thin bandit on the left, holding a Pu knife.

"I planted this tree!" shouted the stout thief on the right, raising his sword.

"I want to live forever. The thief in the middle, who had a scar on his forehead and was dressed as a leader, made a gesture.

"Leave to buy the road money!" the two thieves on the left and right shouted at the same time.

"Big mouth, throw the usual copper coins to them, it's getting late, climb over this mountain early, and find an inn to rest." Zhou Ming, who didn't want to waste time, said.

Li Dazui took out a few strings of copper coins from his coat pocket, put them in front of him and compared them, thought about it, strung the rope with the hanging money with the least copper coins, threw it at the feet of the three thieves and said, "Oh, reward you with the same money, and get out of the way, the grandfathers still have to hurry." ”

The leader of the bandits, looking at the hanging copper coin on the ground, and then at the black tower-like Li Dazui, swallowed his saliva and said: "The money in your pocket will be given to us, and we will let you go." ”

"Shame on the face!"

Li was furious, and the python's thick arm lifted the bandit leader up like lightning, and glared at him fiercely: "Grandpa's idea of eating money, you dare to fight it?"

The bandit leader coughed twice, his anger was rude, and he hurriedly got up and shouted to the two subordinates: "Tiancong Xing, Tianqiao Xing, Bu Sancai Star Array!

"Yes!"

The three thieves surrounded Li Dazui together, holding a simple knife in their hands, and put on a mysterious formation, and their momentum also changed a lot, and they seemed to have become much more powerful.

Then, five seconds later, the three thieves who were slapped away lay on the ground one by one and vomited blood, and the leader of the bandits even spit out a mouthful of bloody teeth, collapsed and shouted: "Military advisor, quickly save me and wait! We have met a demon who is more powerful than Lu Bu among the people, and the Sancai Star Array has been broken by this demon!"

Burst!

Zhou Ming, who was standing on the side and saw this scene, almost couldn't hold back his laughter, these few thieves are so funny, and they are also three talented star arrays, and Lu Bu is among the people...... Isn't this his setting in "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms 108 Stars"? In the comics, everyone can be entertained, but in reality, there are people who play cossplay?

Let the clan soldiers catch the three bandits, after a detailed interrogation, Zhou Ming almost laughed in his stomach, it turned out that the leader of the bandits in this "Tiangang Village" is named Timely Yu Song Yi, the military advisor, named Zhiduoxing Chen Yong, there are a total of 108 male and female brothers in the village, known as 108 stars, and the 108-star Tiangang array deployed is sonic in a radius of 100 miles, and even the officers and soldiers who are surrounded and suppressed by the government dare not underestimate it.

It's just that I didn't expect that this mountain pass, in the past, only needed three stars to sit in the town, and the status quo that passers-by could pay the toll obediently was broken by a group of demons.

"Take me to meet your leaders and military advisors, take me to see the so-called Tiangang Great Array. "This group of funny and funny bandits, Zhou Ming really wants to play with them.

The bandit leader's eyes lit up, and he said boldly: "Boy, don't look for death by yourself, the 108 Star Tiangang Great Array, without our three stars, the power will indeed drop some, but it is not something that mortals like you can resist, or obediently, hand over all the money on your body, the uncle is happy, maybe he will let you go." ”

"What nonsense, lead the way ahead of me!"

Li Dazui slapped him and coughed, he could only stare at Li Dazui with an annoyed face, thinking that he would have to teach him a good lesson later!

In front of the cottage.

"Tiangang array, swords and soldiers are everywhere, water and fire are invulnerable, the world is invincible!

In a thin and long beard, a gray and white robe, a military advisor, holding a bell, commanding more than 100 bandits armed with knives, wooden sticks, hoes and other weapons, surrounded Zhou Ming and others violently, and then, in less than three minutes, these bandits were all swept upside down by Li Dazui, who was carrying a three-meter-long trunk with a thick bowl mouth, and mourned everywhere.

The bell in the hand of the bandit military division jingled to the ground, and after being stunned for a moment, he shouted in surprise: "Demons, demons, demons that the Tiangang Great Array can't deal with!"

"Arrange a few good rooms, and ask someone to prepare some good wine and food, I plan to spend one night in this cottage, and leave tomorrow." Patting Song Yi, the owner of the village who was slightly injured, on the shoulder, after Zhou Ming finished speaking, he took a few people into this poor, low and dilapidated cottage, and chose a few houses with better conditions, so he could only stay for one night.

Zhongyi Hall, at the dinner, after talking for a while, when I learned that the leader who captured their cottage today was actually Tian Zihua, the author of "The Legend of the 108 Stars of the Three Kingdoms", Song Yi, the owner of the village, was extremely embarrassed, and Chen Yong, the military advisor, was stunned for a while, and suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed: "I said why did the Tiangang 108 Star Array fail so miserably, it turned out that I met all the Divine Monarchs, Divine Monarchs, the Lord of the Stars, the Tiangang Great Array, in front of the Divine Monarch, how can you be undefeated, how can you be undefeated?"

The thieves also suddenly realized, no wonder, no wonder they were defeated, the reason is this!

In the hall, there were a few bandits who were originally unconvinced, and after suddenly learning that they had offended Lord Shenjun, they trembled one by one, knelt on the ground, and begged Lord Shenjun for forgiveness.

Zhou Ming has a black line, these bandits, shouldn't they have been brainwashed by the story of "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms 108 Stars", and the same is true of the military advisor, one by one, they are so deep, they don't really think of themselves as stars in the sky, right?

The next day, after Zhou Ming and his entourage left Tiangang Village, Song Yi, the owner of the village, not only sent a team of people to escort him, but also sent a large number of messengers to inform the surrounding villages, asking them not to find trouble with "Zihua Shenjun", so in the next thousand miles of travel, Zhou Ming and others did not encounter a group of bandits harassment.

Even, there are many cottage owners, out of admiration, took the initiative to invite Zhou Ming to the mountain as a guest, hospitality, at this time Zhou Ming found that three years ago, he wrote the book "Three Kingdoms 108 Star Heroes", has been in Jeju at least more than 70% of the bandit group, has a very high reputation, its influence, the wide range, he was very surprised......
