Lin Bai is a famous water bandit on the Yangtze River, known as the Jinfan Thief, the name is taken by himself, and it has the meaning of paying tribute to Gan Ning, a famous general of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and Gan Ning was also once called the Jinfan Thief.

Lin Bai is an orphan who was adopted by the water bandits, and when he grew up, he became the leader of the water bandits.

The area of Zhenjiang is Jinling to the west, Suzhou to the east, and ...... It is the famous Shanghai in later generations.

The address chosen by Guo Zongxun is probably similar to the location of Shanghai, and I don't know if the Yangtze River Delta impact zone has been fully formed.

Lin Bai occupied a very important position on the waterway of the Yangtze River, causing a lot of trouble to the Great Zhou army from Jiangbei who came to transport supplies.

Originally, Lin Bai was respectful of the Great Zhou army, and Lao Tzu was a water bandit, so there was no need to go against the Great Zhou court.

But someone approached him and promised him a large sum of money to plunder the ships that carried goods in the Great Zhou.

Hijack an official ship, and the goods on board can not only be returned to Lin Bai, but also give an additional reward of fifty taels of silver.

It is through this kind of reward that the people behind the scenes make the water bandits on the Yangtze River flock to it.

What they did was originally to rob homes and houses, kill people and steal goods, and now there are people offering a reward for robbing a Great Zhou official ship and giving them fifty taels of silver, this is a good deal, and they must do it.

Lin Bai is one of them, and he is quite happy.

In the past few months, there have been thirty or forty ships of the Great Zhou Dynasty that have been robbed by him, and the amount of silver has accumulated to several thousand taels.

However, the person who had promised the silver suddenly disappeared, which made Lin Bai feel very annoyed, and he felt that he had been deceived.

Dare to lie to me on the edge of the Yangtze River, the brocade thief is impatient, right, find, you must find this guy for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will strip him naked and hang him on the fishing rod as bait.

The person Lin Bai is looking for is Zhao Pu, it was Zhao Pu who secretly issued a reward on the edge of the Yangtze River, instigating the Yangtze River bandits to rob the official ships of the Great Zhou.

However, in recent times, Zhao Pu has unilaterally canceled his cooperation with the water bandits for security reasons, and he has found the more powerful Jiangnan Buddhism as a new partner.

These water bandits are naturally not in Zhao Pu's eyes.

There is no way to talk about the bounty, and it is definitely not ready to give.

Although Lin Bai didn't know that the person who offered the reward was Zhao Pu, it was a coincidence that he came to Jinling with the black rat and stayed in the inn where Zhao Pu was hiding.

Zhao Pu thought that Lin Bai was a secret agent of the government, that is, Jinyiwei, otherwise how could there be calluses on his hands, at first glance, he had killed people, and he had killed many people.

Therefore, Zhao Pu asked people to closely monitor the No. 5 room of B, and also ordered people to be ready to evacuate at any time.

As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven, Liu Bowen looked for Zhao Pu everywhere, and Zhao Pu hid in the inn as a shopkeeper, without revealing the slightest flaw.

Lin Bai didn't know that the person he was looking for was called Zhao Pu, anyway, there was a boss, and he had agreed on the location of the bounty, in order to leave evidence, Lin Bai was probably the only one among the bandits who sent someone to follow the person who came to incite them to rob the merchant ship, a person who called himself Lin Gu.

This time I came to Kaifeng, just to block this forest valley, and by the way, I took the black rat to open the meat, and went to the Qinhuai River to find a sister for him to break a place.

"Squirrel, have you noticed that there is a problem with the innkeeper, and besides, there is a smell missing from this shop......"

The black rat was full of thoughts about the Qin Huai River and the sister in the flower boat, and he didn't listen to what Lin Bai said at all.

"Big brother, the sister on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River is not white, tender or not, is it a pinch of a bag of water, and a pinch will squeak and scream...... Hey hey ......"

Lin Bai gave the black rat a slap and woke him up:

"You go out for a walk and observe secretly, if there is any surveillance on us, we are all wanted by the government, and I haven't tasted it, so if you leave your life here, it will be a loss."

"Hehe, big brother, I'm going, take me to Qinhuai River to find my sister at night, right?"

The reason why the black rat is called the black rat, in addition to being fun, Lin Bai gave him this name, which really has something to do with one of the stunts of the black rat.

If the rat jumps on the spot, he can jump on a house that is more than one person high, and a house that is taller, and when he jumps, as long as his hand can be on the eaves, he can easily jump on the roof.

As bandits, spying on news is also commonplace, and they often pretend to be anti-workers at the dock to inquire about the news, so that they can clearly know which ship is loaded with what goods, when it will depart, and where it is going.

After these messages are told to the bandit boss, the bandit boss can determine where the robbery is the safest and most advantageous.

The black rat went out for a spin and came back rubbing his nose.

"Big brother, let you say this, there are really some problems with this inn, and some of them use incense that seems to be from the north, not from our Jinling."

Lin Bai smiled, after all, the black rat didn't keep thinking about the Qinhuai River and the sister in the flower boat, and finally let him see some flaws.

"There's nothing strange about this, the innkeeper is a northerner, and it's normal to use incense from the north."

"Big brother, how do you know that he is from the north, I listen to him, and his accent is still very authentic."

"I smell it through my nose, we people in the south of the Yangtze River, regardless of men and women, the smell on our bodies is completely different from that from the north, you don't have to smell yourself, that's the case."

"Boss, you're so good, you can smell it, I just went out for a spin and found that someone is really spying on us......"

Investigation and counter-detection are actually the same principle, when you are completely defenseless, no matter how obvious the tracking and monitoring you may not be able to detect.

When you are more vigilant, when you are still secretly paying attention to the people around you within ten feet, you will find that all living beings have different appearances, but there are traces of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on the face.

The black rat noticed the guys in the inn, and easily noticed that some of the guys were staring at him, and the other part was always staring at the number five.

"It seems that our Lin Bai's great name, even the government is so close to the enemy? Even a small innkeeper is so vigilant, black rat, you are doing well, let's go, let's go to the person called Lin Gu first, get the money, brother will find you the most expensive sister on the Qinhuai River. ”

Lin Bai didn't care, since these people were secretly spying, it wasn't that he hadn't played like this.

There are generally two possibilities for covert surveillance, one is that the identity of the other party is not determined, and the purpose of covert tracking and surveillance is to further confirm, and once confirmed, arrest immediately.

There is also a situation where the identity of the other party has been confirmed, but they want to catch a big fish with a long line, so they will temporarily allow the target to move freely.

No matter who is in any situation, for Lin Bai, there is time, and he can use this more or less time to do a lot of things.

For example, asking for debts, and for example, giving black rats**.

When Lin Bai took the black rat to find Ringu, Ringu was coming out of the house, preparing to go to the pawnshop to collect the bills.

As a member of Zhao Pu's gang, Ringu's hidden identity is the shopkeeper of a pawnshop.

Today, he was blocked in the house by Lin Bai.

"Boss Lin, our brother is here to collect the bills, for several months, a total of forty-one Great Zhou official ships have been robbed, come on, Boss Lin, donate generously, our brother is waiting for the money."

As soon as he saw Lin Gu, Lin Bai simply went straight to the point and was straightforward.

Lin Gu never expected that there would be water bandits coming to the door, and he didn't expect that he would be found out after being so careful.

"Hey, it's Brother Lin, look at it, we haven't seen each other for a few days, where did Brother Lin go to make a fortune, coincidentally, brother, I'm about to go to the reunion building to have a drink, why don't you go?"

Lin Bai stared at Lin Gu's two eyes and said word by word:

"Boss Lin, we both have the surname Lin, maybe five hundred years ago we were still brothers who ate in a pot, who am I, you know clearly, I don't know what you are, we followed you to the restaurant to eat, as long as you see the official errand, you pull your throat, our brothers have to lose their heads, you say, can we go to eat with you?"

Lin Gu saw that he was not fooled, and hurriedly changed his words:

"Brother Lin is too careful, but my brother is not thoughtful, come on, come on, come into the house, come into the house, talk in the house."

Lin Gu let Lin Bai and the black rat into his small courtyard, led the two into the main hall, sat down the guests, and then served tea to Lin Bai.

"Brother Lin, you don't know, the Great Zhou government has been too strict recently, brother, I want to send you silver, but I don't have a chance."

Lin Gu's eyes were rolling around, as if he was still thinking of a way to get out.

Lin Bai wasn't ready to talk nonsense with him, so he took out the wrist knife directly from his arms and stuck it on the table with a pop.

"It's okay, don't you go and send me, don't we come to the door to get it, Chenghui, eight thousand five hundred taels of silver, you make it up, give ten thousand taels, we don't want to give more."

Lin Bai said that he didn't care, but the hand holding the sharp knife was gradually clenching.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Brother Lin, you see, brother, I definitely won't put so much silver at home, or you go to Qianzhuang with me, it's best to hire a big car first, 10,000 taels of silver is not a decimal number."

As he spoke, Lin Gu was about to get up and walk out, and continued as he spoke:

"Brother Lin and this little brother don't be impatient, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to go out now, or ...... me"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Bai had already stood up and jumped behind him, his left arm wrapped around his neck, and the sharp knife in his right hand was on Lin Gu's neck.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing, if you have something to say, don't I just want to get money for you, you ...... Alas...... Brother Lin, it's right for you to be cautious, you see if this will work, you two brothers are sandwiching me left and right, let's go to Qianzhuang together, brother, I will definitely not make trouble for you. ”

Lin Bai grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said to the black rat with his teeth bared:

"Brother's teeth are white, ......do you believe what Boss Lin said?"

As he spoke, his hand tightened, and the knife had already cut through the skin on Lin Gu's neck, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Brother, brother...... Spare your life, spare your life, I am also acting on orders, Brother Lin, you can't embarrass me, my little minion, besides, I really don't have any money here. ”

Lin Gu was frightened, and urinated directly in his pants, saying that these bandits were ruthless, and they rarely left a living mouth when hijacking ships, and they all pressed the heads of the prisoners on the boat gang and cut them off with a knife......

"Tell me, who is your owner, and how can Lao Tzu find him?"

"Brother, I really don't know where our boss is, ah...... Other...... I will give you the silver, and I will take you to get it. ”

Lin Bai's knife shifted the place and directly broke Lin Gu's tendons.

Lin Bai turned back to the black rat and said:

"Their proprietor is quite majestic, they are all about to be scraped alive by Lao Tzu, and they want to keep a secret for their master, black rat, do you think this is ridiculous or respectable?"

The black rat scratched his head and said:

"Those who don't tell us the truth are all ridiculous, heroes are touted by others, and those who are heroes are fools, and they are still alive, more than anything else."

Lin Bai said to Lin Gu:

"Do you hear what this brother of mine said? Living is the most important thing, hurry up, otherwise, this arm will also be wasted, and you will only have to eat with your feet in the future. ”

Lin Gu completely collapsed, he was not a strong-willed person in the first place, and when he met Lin Bai who was so ruthless, he had no chance to play tricks again.

"I said, I said, our owner is in the Fusheng Inn, he is under the pseudonym Sun Liang, and now he is the shopkeeper of the inn, and the guys in the inn are also our people, Brother Lin, what I said is true, if you want silver, go to our owner, he must have it there."

The black rat snorted and laughed, isn't the inn where he and Lin Bai live called the Fusheng Inn, and the shopkeeper of the inn happens to be surnamed Sun.

"Let's go, big brother, let's go back to Boss Sun to ask for silver, and then go to Qinhuai River to find my sister."

Lin Bai rubbed the wrist-dissolving knife on Lin Gu's clothes, and just when Lin Gu thought that Lin Bai was going to let him go, Lin Bai stabbed him in the heart.

Lin Gu's body spasmed, he kicked his legs in despair, struggling in vain, he couldn't see Lin Bai's eyes, but he could feel the hot breath exhaled from Lin Bai's mouth.

"It doesn't matter if you are a hero or not, you betrayed your owner and lived for yourself, this is a natural thing, but you shouldn't lie to me, you have a lot of silver hidden here, you want me to let you go, go to your owner, and then you run away with the silver, and if you can't run away, you just go to the government, you can't give it to me anyway, right?"

Lin Gu didn't understand how Lin Bai found out that there was silver hidden in his courtyard, this place was very hidden, only he knew.

There was once a secret prostitute who slept with him all night and stumbled upon the place where he hid his silver, and now, that secret prostitute is gone forever.

"It's strange why I conclude that you have hidden silver here, right, because, my Lin Bai nose is more spiritual than a dog's nose, I can smell the smell of silver, the more silver, the stronger the taste, the fragrance of this silver, tsk, you really haven't hidden it here......"

Lin Gu was considered to be dead, but he still didn't bat an eye, before he took his last breath, he regretted it a little, and he had long hesitated to be loyal to His Majesty to the imperial court, and directly betrayed Zhao Pu, and he never made up his mind.

Now, he was forced to be questioned by two water bandits, and he was stabbed to death.

It seems that this is the most wrong thing he has done in his life, he shouldn't follow Zhao Kuangyin, he should be a Shunmin of Da Zhou......
