Hejian Mansion, in the jungle at night, is even darker, almost unable to reach out to the five fingers.

The smell of barbecue came, and Chen Fu sighed for a long time, and it was difficult to swallow.

On the side, there was a monk with a scar, who chewed a large mouthful of rabbit meat, and said while snorting: "It's a pity, you haven't drunk Xiliang's Qin Feng wine, and it's called a fragrant mile with this meat." ”

Old man Liu spit out the bones, took a sip by the way, and said, "Have you ever drunk it?" ”

"We were in Hedong, killed a merchant's family, he hid some Qin Feng wine in his house, the sect leader at that time was merciful and rewarded us with a few, tsk, that's called a lie, enjoyable!" The scar monk did not shy away from talking about his murderous family, as if he was still proud.

Chen Fu sighed again, his brows furrowed even tighter. They have been walking for a long time, and it is said that they are going to a place called the Baigou River to join more bandits.

He was actually held hostage by a group of rebellious White Lotus bandits, and the female incense master turned out to be the cousin of the second uncle's godfather, Chen Fu thought about it for a long time, and calculated that he should be called someone else's sister.

With a wave of her hand, Qin Yinglian included him in the White Lotus Sect, and because Chen Fu was literate, he was promoted to a small leader.

There were quite a few thieves in this group, led by a dozen or so people who were present at the barbecue, and the others were ordinary sect members.

In this place between the rivers, there are three evils, and the people are not much better than the east of the river.

The first to bear the brunt of the soldiers, the river is close to the Daimyo's Mansion, the Daimyo's Mansion is stationed with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, they rely on Wei Yunse to support them, and there are countless enclosures around, on the grounds of building camps, they forcibly seized the land and property of ordinary people, not to mention, but also forcibly conscripted local people to farm and raise horses for them.

Because of this, many local families raise horses, which has given birth to the second major --- horse bandits. These men were skilled in horsemanship, and often gathered in one place, plundering and burning everywhere, and ordinary villages were often looted. By the time the officers and soldiers came, they would have slipped away long ago.

The people have no land, and they are often killed by horse bandits, and they are forced to be helpless, so many people go up to the mountains to occupy the land and become kings, which is the third pest--- bandits. Bandits generally harm passers-by, or kidnap the wives and daughters of rich families to extort money.

The local people who were disturbed by these three evils were miserable, and the White Lotus Sect took advantage of the situation and became popular here.

Qin Yinglian's first husband was killed by horse bandits, she was desperate to enter the White Lotus Sect, because of her strong martial arts, pungent personality, and righteousness, and high popularity, so she became a party incense master.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the scar monk poked Chen Fu with his elbow and said with a smile: "Brother Ah Fu, you have a good background, you should have drunk Qin Feng's bar?" These buns don't believe me, you tell them about it. ”

Chen Fu glanced at him angrily and sighed again.

Qin Yinglian said with a smile: "Ah Fu, you don't have to sigh, now this court has long been rotten, the White Lotus saves the world, the world is taught by the White Lotus sooner or later, and you will thank your sister when the time comes." ”

Chen Fu looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were shrouded, and the leaves made a rustling sound, and he suddenly remembered the time when he and his second uncle went to the mountains outside Liangzhou City to pick flowers...

At that time, it was really high-spirited, and the flowers all over the mountain were for them to pick, and it was not happy to attract bees and butterflies.

"Second uncle, come and save me, I don't want to rebel..."

---

Chen's house, inside the small courtyard.

In front of the railing, Chen Shou was half lying on a soft collapse, and the three-legged carved gold hollow incense burner with agarwood was lit next to it, wafting a faint fragrance.

This is a special incense made by Dr. Liu, which treats upset and has the effect of sleeping.

In the bedroom on the side, the two pretty maids from the Western Regions glanced at each other, Tao'er snorted, and asked Liu Er to step forward and cover her master with a blanket.

Liu Er hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, Chen Shou was sullen these days, often making fun of them, and stabbing them at every turn, regardless of time and occasion, so scared that several maids didn't dare to step forward.

Tao'er flattened her mouth, glared at her little sister with apricot eyes, and still tiptoed forward.

On the soft collapse, Chen Shou was sleeping, and even made a slight snoring sound. The old man usually doesn't snore, it can be seen that he hasn't slept well recently, looking at the peach angle, the old man has the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, sharp edges and corners, no matter where you look at it, he is a handsome and excessive young man.

Tao'er's face turned red, she gently covered him, and just wanted to walk away, when a shout suddenly came from the door: "My lord, Yuan Xiannian asks to see you." ”

The two maids were distressed for a while, and the old man finally fell asleep for a while, I don't know which person is so annoying, so I have to come at this time.

Chen Shou slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his still a little sleepy, and said casually: "Lu'er, change my clothes." ”

"Sister Lu'er is not here, the clothes are prepared for the master." Liu Er came over with her clothes and said obediently.

As soon as Chen Shou stretched out his hand, the two maids dressed him skillfully and tied the brocade belt by the way.

Yuan Xiannian had just returned from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he hadn't returned home, so he came to Chen's mansion.

After waiting in the flower hall for a while, Chen Shou rushed over, Yuan Xiannian took a look, and felt that Chen Shou didn't seem to be as good as when they met last time.

"Your Excellency."

"Well, how about your hard work?"

Chen Shou waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk, and after Yuan Xiannian sat down, a little maid came up with tea.

Yuan Xiannian thanked him, flicked his sleeves, and said, "My lord, the Southern Tang monarch has no intention of going north, and the Chinese officials of the dynasty are also content with the status quo, but some people in the army seem to want to cross the river to fight with Daqi. Especially their water master, this time the water master made his own opinion, and Emperor Tang did not punish them, only said that it was a misunderstanding. ”

Chen Shou said with a smile: "It's just that we are weakened, so we hold it off, but we don't dare to really do it, which is really in line with their Nantang character." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Shou lowered his voice and asked, "Buying grain?" ”

"It's all arranged, the Southern Tang Dynasty has always had people secretly trading with the north, but they are too rich. No matter what kind of material it is, it is inexhaustible, and there are no major foreign enemies. The subordinate contacts are the relatively large chambers of commerce in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are several big officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty as guarantees, which are not much cheaper than the average price of Daqi, but the amount is not enough. ”

Chen Shou didn't think about saving money, nodded and was very satisfied.

Yuan Xiannian said with a smile: "My subordinates and their entourage in the Southern Tang Dynasty have finally opened their eyes, this group of people has been comfortable for a long time, they are indulged in pleasure, they are poor and luxurious, and the monarchs and ministers are single-minded, laying on the song and dance poems. No wonder there are many writers in the south of the Yangtze River, their princes and ministers are all talented, eating and drinking extravagantly, and they look like they have lost their country! The adults are credible, the Fu King actually replaced the Jade Hui Emperor as a monk, the people of Hangzhou sent off, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military watched the ceremony on both sides, which is really a big joke in the world, hehe. ”

Chen Shou lowered his head and drank tea silently, in this matter, everyone was half a catty and eight taels, fifty steps and a hundred steps, it was not necessary.
