The lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full, but many low-level people are still exploited by officials, profiteers, gentry and landlords, and they can't survive, especially the military households in various guards.

It's just that, on the whole, the social order is far from collapsing, unlike the people of Shaanxi and Henan, who can't survive and directly rebel.

The people of Huguang can't survive, and most of them will choose to go up the mountain and fall to the grass to live that happy life.

Therefore, there are many bandits and bandits in Jingxiang, especially in Xiang and Xun.

The reason is that these two places have the most sanitation, and the land is the most barren, and they are in the place of transportation connection.

Xiangyang Prefecture has jurisdiction over six counties and one state, and there are hundreds of large and small bandits and water bandits in the territory, among which the Wufeng Village, which is more than 60 miles southwest of Xiangyang, has the most famous reputation and the greatest strength.

Wufeng Mountain, where Wufeng Village is located, is backed by the continuous Wushan remnants, an official road at the foot of the mountain, connecting Xiangyang City and Nanzhang County, and dozens of miles to the east is the Han River, so just collect the toll of business travel, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

And because of the backing of the mountains, every time the officers and soldiers came to exterminate them, the bandits would flee to the mountains in advance to take refuge, and then return again as soon as the officers and troops left.

Over time, the officials and soldiers were too lazy to toss, and in recent years, the heroes in the village not only did not rob the houses everywhere, but returned the filial piety to the government every year, so that the officials of the two places also turned a blind eye, relying on such a huge bandit, entrenched near Xiangyang City.

At this moment, in the hall of the cottage, Liu Xiaotian, an old man who is over fifty years old, is leisurely drinking tea, listening to the narration of a young man in his twenties who looks quite delicate.

"Hmmm! The virtuous nephew rushed for a day and a night, went to rest first, and then the old man set up a banquet in the evening, so as to make it as suitable as the landlord, and then talk about it in detail! ”

"Then thank you uncle." Yang Tianlin saw that he called himself a virtuous nephew, instead of a virtuous brother like before, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, knowing that this matter was mostly done, so he got up and saluted.

Old Man Liu nodded with a gentle face, obviously quite satisfied with this son-in-law.

Although they are inferior in generation, they are not much different in age, and they are not as particular as those of big families.

As I get older, the more I worry about my daughter's future after I leave, so these two years have been heartbreaking.

Yang Tianlin was taken out of the hall with an excited face, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he met a tall woman in a red tights and skirt hurrying over.

After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Yang Tianlin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there was such a superb product in this bandit's nest, and he immediately reacted, this must be the righteous daughter that Liu Xiaotian received last year.

Secretly, that old thing is simply old and confused, this kind of best is actually accepted as a righteous daughter, not directly as a concubine, but thinking about his age, he is relieved.

The woman in red, whose name is Hongying, is about eighteen or nineteen years old, and when she saw Yang Tianlin staring at her straightly, her eyebrows frowning slightly.

A flash of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he just nodded slightly, and then flashed into the hall.

Yang Tianlin opened his mouth, and he held back the words of greeting, subconsciously turned his head and looked at it twice, before leaving under the reminder of the minions on the side.

"Father-in-law, who is the man who went out just now?"

"Ying'er is here, sit down, that's the second master of Tianwolf Village, my second brother who worships my righteous brother." Liu Xiaotian said with a kind smile.

"It turned out to be the second brother surnamed Yang, I said how it doesn't look like a good thing."

The red warbler muttered, sat down on the chair next to her, and then asked, "Father-in-law, what are the people from Tianwolf Village doing?" Didn't you come to ask for help? ”

"Hehe, it seems that Ying'er also heard about what happened to my fellow Daoists in Gucheng, yes, the eight kings really deceived people too much, and they didn't take my green forest heroes in Xiangyang in their eyes at all."

At the end, Old Man Liu slapped the table heavily, his face gloomy and scary.

Hongying hugged her fists: "Father-in-law, that day, the wolf village usually fished and fleshed the people, and there was no less thing to do to rob the people's daughters, and the righteous army of the eight kings did the right thing for the sky, so why should we meddle with things?" ”

"Nonsense, Brother Yang cherishes the day and has a great life-saving grace to his father-in-law, and he is my sworn brother-in-law, at this time, if you don't pull a hand, what kind of face will your father-in-law have in the future, facing the green forest of Xiangyang?"

"Okay, then let my daughter take some people around." Hongying also knew the temper of her father-in-law, so she didn't argue anymore, and planned to take some people to go on a trip and go through the motions.

"Well, my father is old, Lan'er is weak, you have to worry more about the big and small affairs of the cottage in the future, my father-in-law used to be afraid that you wouldn't be able to suppress those heroes, but now it seems that you are too worried."

Liu Xiaotian looked relieved, he was really satisfied with the righteous daughter he saved at the beginning, but it was a pity that it was a daughter, so he sighed lightly.

"It's a pity that you are a daughter, and you have to find a home after all, so my father plans to take this opportunity to marry Tianluo Village, marry you to Brother Yang, and marry Lan'er to his second brother, after I leave in the future..."

"What?"

Hongying stood up with a brushed face, and then said with a blushing face: "Father-in-law, don't you know what kind of virtue the Yang family brothers are?" It's foolish to marry me and my sister to them... I would never agree with it! ”

"Presumptuous! Thou hast spoken so thou hast spoken to thy father, thou... You..."Liu Xiaotian had to point at her, and her beard was about to rise.

"Father-in-law, my daughter was too impulsive just now, but father-in-law, didn't you push us into the fire pit when you married me and my sister to the Yang brothers?"

"Nonsense, that Brother Yang is righteous and strong, strong in martial arts, is a rare hero, and you are really talented and beautiful,

As for what fish and meat are common people, it is pure nonsense, and if you collect some grain, you will fish and meat the people, and what are those gentry and landlords who force tenants to sell their sons and daughters? ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, but it's always a fact that the two brothers robbed other people's wives and daughters and killed people, right?"

"This is indeed a bit excessive, but it is not a big deal, didn't the father-in-law kill that Wu Yuanwai and rob his wife, and then gave birth to Lan'er? It's normal to do what we do. ”

Liu Xiaotian waved his hand, and in the end, his face still showed a touch of pride, as if he had done something great back then.

“……”

Hongying opened her small mouth, she really didn't know what to say, so she had to hug her fists and say with a solemn face: "Father-in-law, before the daughter's revenge is avenged, she will never marry, and please don't force the father-in-law, although the daughter is a daughter, but in the future, she will still be able to protect Lan'er's sister-in-law's thoughtfulness, and the lives of thousands of people in the cottage!" ”

"Hey! Well, this matter is not in a hurry, you first take people and Yang Xian's nephew to rescue the Heavenly Wolf Village, and then come back, without further ado, you will set off after dawn! ”

Liu Xiaotian also knew that her temperament was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, otherwise she would not have killed people in Xiangyang City in the first place, and when she saw that she said so, she had to nod.
