As a result, many horse breeders had to rebel. Someone took part in the civil uprising of that time. For example, during the Zhengde period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Liu and Liu Qi rebelled in Hebei. There were many horsemen in the rebel army, and they were highly mobile, and they changed places with one shot. Therefore, the rebel army has a wide range of activities, and can quickly attack cities and seize land, and when the official army arrives, the rebel army does not know where to go.

Another reason why these bandits are so difficult to exterminate is that they are supported by large local families. The horse bandits, who were supported by the big families, have actually become thugs of the local big families. Usually help the main family to take care of the home, occupy the mines, squeeze the tenants, and deal with some shady things for the main family behind the scenes. When you have time, you can rob your house and rob your house, which can be described as a bad thing.

The martial artist who took the lead said, "It's all taken back." It's already in the coffin. The little ones are in a hurry to return and take the first step, and the convoy pulling the coffin is on the way. ”

The martial artist said: "If the small estimate is correct, it should be a line of red that has been active near Fangshan and Qishan. ”

The martial artist said: "This line of red is a notorious horse bandit leader. This person is ruthless and never leaves a living mouth when he robs. And it is secretive, so no one knows where the nest of the first-line red is. Legend has it that he had more than 100 elite horse bandits under his command, most of whom were horse households. He himself made a good knife technique, and when he cut people's necks, he was clean and neat! Often the knife passed, leaving only a red line on the person's neck, and it was only after a moment that the blood collapsed and died, so the person got the name of a red line. ”

The martial artist bowed and said: "According to the legend on the rivers and lakes, the surname of the red man is Ma. And it is rumored that the second and third masters under him are also surnamed Ma. And in Changle, there is a large family in the local area that is also surnamed Ma. The head of the family may not know that in Henan and Shandong, it is already a semi-public matter for large families to raise horse bandits, and everyone on the rivers and lakes knows about it, so ......"

The martial artist bowed and said, "Go home, this is just my guess, there is no evidence!" But as far as I know, in order to prevent the collapse of the family, many large families either split up on the surface and are still a family in private. Otherwise, the family will be divided into two branches, light and dark, and the secret one can still do some dirty things by the way. So I guess this horse family is the second case. ”

The four of them finished their salutes and retreated. Liu Pei said to Liu Jiang: "Do you think they are aiming to rob our goods, or do we happen to catch up?" ”

Liu Pei gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what the reason is, the people who kill me will die!" They robbed the goods and will definitely ship them. Tell all your men to move and inquire about two things. The first thing is to find out if the first line of red is related to the Ma family. The second thing is to probe the owners of the nests who have written off their accounts to see if they have any missing goods in their hands, and if they find out, they will be arrested and tortured. ”

Just when Liu Pei and Liu Jiang were discussing looking for clues, in a big mansion in the countryside of Changle, two people were fiddling with a few things on the table. One of them was old, of great build, and dressed in a suit. This person is Ma Jinsong, the current head of the Ma family.

Ma Junsong said: "Confused! It's because you didn't have a living mouth, so many people can guess that you did it! ”

Ma Jinsong shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this. I'm just worried about the owner of this shipment. This kind of goods look like overseas Western goods, and the price must be extremely expensive! Most of the people who are able to traffic this kind of goods are wealthy and powerful. With this move, you will have one more enemy. And this batch of goods is too eye-catching to be sold at all. I'll have to set it on fire in a few days. ”

Ma Jinsong said: "Forget it this time, next time."

A red line said: "Second uncle, is it necessary to be so careful?" It's a big deal, we don't do it for a while! Hey, okay, okay, let the brothers go back in a few days, okay? ”

In the following days, Liu Jiang had secretly mobilized all the people he could send out to inquire about the news around Changle. But there was no news at all. A red line has always been secretive, everyone only knows such a person, but no one knows what he looks like? Where is the lair?

He first pressed the beggar's shoulder and asked him to kneel down for Liu Jiang, and then saluted Liu Jiang, and then said: "The big boss seems to have found the news of the idea!" ”

Niu Mancun said with a smile: "I guess that after those horse bandits succeed, they will definitely have fun for a few days." So I've been staring at places where there are a lot of women. I've inquired, and there are the most secret doors in Xicheng. Those horse bandits can't go to Qinglou, they will definitely go to the secret gate. So I've been squatting there. The little one had half of the bread left over from dinner, so he wanted to throw it to the beggar. As soon as I approached the two beggars, I heard him say, 'Mrs. Li has recently changed to a new incense powder, and the fragrance is fragrant to her nose. The little one felt that something was wrong, so he thought that it should be a horse bandit who stole the perfume and gave it to his friend. So the little one followed him, and tied him up when he was alone. ”

Then Liu Jiang said to the beggar, "What's your name?" So what's going on with Mrs. Li? ”
