Chapter 292: The Wind Rises (2) [Two in One]

PS: Who said it must be 'Yunyong'. In addition, thank you to the "Childe Xiaoshan" boss for rewarding 10,000 yuan! ~I'm sorry I forgot to see the list of tips lately.'"

β€”β€”β€”β€” the following textβ€”β€”β€”β€”

Black Tiger Thief "Jade-faced Tiger" Wang Qing, as the county magistrate of Runan County, Liu Yi has only seen the portrait of this thief on the wanted warrant, so he can only recognize this thief today.

But when he recognized it, he never thought that his first meeting with this thief would be like this.

Don't think that those who are officials are not afraid of death, and those who are officials are also afraid of death, at least Liu Yi is afraid of death, looking at Wang Qing who was covered in blood in front of him, Liu Yi couldn't help but tremble, and persuaded with an ugly face: "Wang, Wang Qing, it's still too late to restrain the horse from the precipice, trespassing on the county government and killing the county guard, this is a great rebellious felony, but if you are willing to restrain yourself from the precipice, disarm and surrender, this and this official can save your life......"

"You're stupid for me?"

Wang Qing looked at Liu Yi like a fool.

Not to mention that it is impossible for him to rein in the precipice, even if he does, he doesn't think that Liu Yi will let him and his brothers go afterwards.

Seeing the playful smile on Wang Qing's face, the last glimmer of hope in Liu Yi's heart was also shattered.

He mustered up the only courage he had, and pretended to be resolute and said: "Since you are unwilling to restrain yourself from the precipice and abandon the darkness to the light, then I have nothing to say to you...... If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

Wang Qing looked at Liu Yi with interest, and he was also surprised that Liu Yi, a shivering guy who was hiding under the desk, actually pretended to be calm in front of him at this moment.

"Seeing that I didn't do it, did I have the confidence to do it?"

A hint of discoloration flashed in Wang Qing's eyes, and the knife in his right hand skillfully played a knife flower.

Looking at his gaze looking Liu Yi's body up and down, it seemed that he was looking at a pig and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, ready to cut something from the other party.

And at this moment, a black tiger thief came from outside the house: "Boss." ”

Wang Qing turned his head to look, and then saw that his brothers had come here with a woman and a girl captive.

The woman was not very old, about thirty years old, and her pretty face was pale; Looking at the girl again, she was seven or eight years old at most, and she was also frightened by the black tigers beside her, her little face turned white, and her little hands were clutching the corners of the woman's clothes.

"Ma'am? Rong'er? ”

Liu Yi also saw the woman and the girl, exclaimed, and immediately glared at Wang Qing angrily, her face flushed.

It turned out that this woman and girl were Liu Yi's wife Shen and second daughter Liu Rong.

"Let them come."

At Wang Qing's signal, the two black tigers guarding the door of the party room took a step to the side, and the woman and the girl rushed into the party room, the former threw himself into her husband's arms, while the latter hid behind his father's back, secretly looking at Wang Qing with a frightened gaze.

"Ma'am, are you all right?"

Liu Yi held his wife's palm and asked earnestly.

"It's fine."

Shen shook his head, and after glancing at Wang Qing and the others with a fearful gaze, he whispered to Liu Yi: "These people broke into the back office and kidnapped my mother and daughter here......

At this point, she saw her husband's eyes signaling, so she stopped talking.

Patting the back of Madame's hand to soothe, Liu Yi turned her head to look at Wang Qing and asked angrily, "What do you want to do?!" ”

Wang Qing was about to speak, when he heard his brother shouting outside the house: "Boss, I have found the carriage!" …… The county government really has a carriage. ”

"Good! Drive the carriage outside the county office! ”

Wang Qing shouted outside the house, and then said to Liu Yi with a wicked smile: "When I saw Liu County's order, the big leader of my Black Tiger Village, I specially sent me to invite him!" ”

"Black Tiger Thief Leader...... Zhou Hu?!'

Liu Yi protected his wife and daughter behind him, and reprimanded with a stiff face: "Liu is the commander of Runan County, and you actually forcibly abducted Liu in broad daylight?!" ”

He wanted to scold again, but when he saw the blood on Wang Qingyi's knife, he said with pity: "When I came, the head of my family said that if you can't see the living, it's okay to see the dead!" ”

This sentence made Liu Yi swallow back the angry scolding that was about to blurt out.

At this time, a question flashed in his heart: How dare this group of black tiger thieves kill officials?!

You must know the law of the Jin Kingdom, killing an official is no different from rebellion, it is a heinous felony, if Wang Qing and others in front of him dare to kill him, then even if the world is big, there is no place for black tiger thieves - the imperial court will never tolerate a group of thieves who dare to kill officials!

But after glancing at his wife and daughter who were trembling with fright, Liu Yi didn't dare to ask back, so as not to anger Wang Qing.

I saw him exhale, pretending to be calm and saying, "Okay, I'll go with you, but please let my wife and daughter go." ”

Wang Qing laughed and said, "I think it's better to ask Mrs. Ling and Ling Yan to accompany you, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that Liu County Ling will do something that is not good in the eyes of both parties......

Liu Yi, who was disappointed in her heart, scolded angrily: "Despicable. ”

can be scolded and scolded, the three members of his family are in the hands of the other party, and Liu Yi has no choice but to let it go, and honestly take his wife and daughter to follow Wang Qing to the front office.

On the way to the former office, Liu Yi's family saw more than a dozen corpses one after another, all of which were county officials of his county office.

"Rong'er, don't look at it."

Shen, who was so frightened, immediately covered his daughter's eyes, but his daughter still saw the corpse on the ground and the pool of blood.

Of course, not all of them were slaughtered by the black tiger thieves, because when passing through a few class rooms, Liu Yi saw that many clerks in the county government were hiding inside, peeking out of the window.

"These useless things!"

Liu Yi scolded in her heart.

He told him that even if most of the helpless scribes rushed over to rescue them, it might not be enough for this group of black tiger thieves to kill, but seeing the gang hiding in the house with frightened faces, Liu Yi still felt inexplicably angry.

At this time, the group had already turned around the former yatang.

Seeing several black tiger thieves running out of the former yatang, Liu Yi glanced at the yatang with a frown.

It didn't matter what he saw, he was stunned, because he actually saw the fire burning in the yatang, which was getting worse and worse.

"You, you ......"

He pointed to the yatang and looked at Wang Qing in disbelief.

However, Wang Qing only glanced at the yatang lightly, and it was obvious that he had instructed the black tiger thieves to set fire to the yatangβ€”at least he knew about it.

"Lawless! It's lawless!'

Liu Yi was anxious and angry, and her beard trembled slightly.

If he didn't think that Wang Qing and other black tiger thieves would dare to kill officials, but at this moment he was not so confident - this group of crazy people actually set fire to his yamen?!

Killing the county officials and setting fire to the yamen means one thing - to be the enemy of the entire Jin Kingdom and the entire imperial court!

A bunch of thieves......

Liu Yi trembled angrily, and at the same time felt inexplicable fear.

After all, in his opinion, since the black tiger thief dared to set fire to his county office, then he might not be able to do the evil act of killing officials, considering that the three members of his family are now in the hands of the other party, Liu Yi is angry and afraid.

Under the hostage of Wang Qing and a group of black tiger thieves, Liu Yi walked out of the county office with his wife and daughter, and at this time, several black tiger thieves had already driven the carriage outside.

"Go up!" Wang Qing ordered in a deep voice.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Liu Yi didn't dare to disobey, so he had to let his wife and daughter give way to the carriage, and soon, he himself got into the carriage.

Before getting into the carriage, he looked around and saw many people standing on the streets and alleys nearby, as if they were watching this side, but no one dared to act rashly.

Also, in the face of a group of evil criminals who dared to carry weapons into the county government in broad daylight and kidnap the county commander's family, who would dare to approach those honest ordinary people? I believe it's too late to hide!

Sighing, Liu Yi also got into the carriage.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw an acquaintance in the carriage, it was none other than Pei Sui, the county magistrate of Runan County.

"You...... You were caught too? Liu Yi asked with a wry smile.

"Your Excellency......" County Cheng Pei Sui smiled bitterly and bowed, explaining: "These people rushed into the house and took the lowly people captive......

As he spoke, he glanced at the Shen mother and daughter, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The only thing he felt fortunate about at this moment was that his family did not live in the county office, unlike the county magistrate Liu Yi, whose family was all arrested.

"Wow."

The curtain of the carriage was raised, and the two black tigers sat up with their faces strained, and one of them stared at Liu Yi and Pei Sui and warned, "Don't play any tricks." ”

Liu Yi and Pei Sui glanced at each other, and they both sighed secretly.

"Let's go!"

Wang Qing, who was outside the carriage, gave an order, immediately jumped into the coachman's seat, and ordered the brothers who drove the carriage to drive straight to the city gate, while the rest of the black tigers held weapons in their backhands and followed closely on foot.

It's not that they don't want to cover it up, the problem is that the blood stains on their bodies can't be covered, and since they can't cover it up, they simply show it, and no one dares to provoke a group of outlaws with weapons in their hands and blood stains all over their bodies.

Sure enough, on the way to the city gate of Wang Qing and his entourage, the people along the way saw them and retreated, watching this group of people pass by with a shocked face.

About a quarter of an hour later, Wang Qing and the others returned to the south gate where they came.

At this time, the county guards on duty at the south city gate had already received the news that 'thieves had attacked the county government and abducted the county order', and not only had closed the city gate, but also held weapons to defend it tightly.

It's a pity that the number of these county guards is too small, only about a dozen, where can they stop Wang Qing and his party?

Wang Qing didn't even threaten those county guards with Liu Yi, he jumped out of the carriage and rushed over, shouting: "Death to those who stand in my way!" ”

By his own force, he led a group of brothers to kill the county guards, and in just one face-to-face effort, four or five county soldiers were killed, and most of the rest were wounded.

Hearing the screams of those county guards, Shen was so frightened that even his lips turned white, and he hugged his daughter tightly.

And Liu Yi and Pei Sui looked at each other and sighed.

If in normal times, like Wang Qing, with only 20 people to kill him Runan County Ya, it is simply impossible, because on weekdays, there is the county lieutenant Huang Ben, and there are many head catchers and county pawns, then Wang Qing led more than 20 black tiger thieves to kill the county office, but he is just asking for his own death.

But unfortunately, some time ago, in response to Ye County's invitation to Yang Ding to encircle and suppress the black tiger thieves, his county lieutenant Huang Ben of Runan led 500 officers and soldiers to helpβ€”at least more than half of them were officials of Runan County.

In addition, he had never been attacked by bandits before in Runan County, and he lacked precautions in this regard, so that Wang Qing easily succeeded.

Suddenly, a burst of surprise flashed in Liu Yi's heart: Wang Qing led people to kill our county government, could it be related to Huang Ben leading people to encircle and suppress the black tiger thieves?

But the matter has come to this, and his family of three and Pei Sui can only resign themselves to fate.

When it was close to dusk that day, Wang Qing and his entourage took Liu Yi's family of three and took Pei Sui into the county and came to a mountain in the northeastern part of Yingshan Mountain.

By the way, if you look down on the whole mountain from the highest point of the Yingshan mountains, it is not difficult to see that the shape of the whole mountain resembles a giant phoenix with wings flapping and flying high and wide tail feathers, and the mountain in the northeast resembles the head of a phoenix, so the locals call it Bird's Head Mountain, Eagle Head Mountain, or Fengshou Mountain - here it is called Fengshou Mountain.

Chen Zu, one of the 'Nine Thieves of Yingshan', his cottage is on the north side of Fengshou Mountain.

On the east and west sides of Fengshou Mountain, there is a mountain range, the mountain range on the west side is roughly northwest and southeast, and the mountain range on the east side is roughly west and east.

The other three Ying bandits who were as famous as Yang Tong and Chen Zu back then, Xu He, Yu Rong, and Yuan Xu, the nest of these three groups was in the West Wing Mountain.

To the south of Fengshou Mountain, there are several relatively dwarf hills, like the neck ridge of the 'giant phoenix'.

Further south, there are three or four relatively high hills towering, like the chest of the 'giant phoenix', among which the mountain that is the most eastern, is where the Black Tiger Village is located, so this mountain is called the Black Tiger Mountain.

The passage from Runan and Xiangcheng to Kunyang is located between Fengshou Mountain and Heihu Mountain on the west side and the East Wing Mountain on the east side.

In view of the fact that the county army of Zou Bu, the commander of Xiangcheng County, was stationed in the southeast of Fengshou Mountain and the northeast of Heihu Mountain, Wang Qingsui stopped the carriage in the north of Fengshou Mountain, and prepared to take Liu Yi, Pei Sui and others to spend the night in the mountains tonight, and then return to Heihu Village tomorrow.

It is worth mentioning that when Liu Yi's family got out of the carriage, Rong'er, a little girl who had always been hiding behind her mother, actually mustered up the courage to ask Wang Qing, who was covered in blood: "Will you kill us?" ”

Probably this little girl who was only seven or eight years old also saw that Wang Qing was the leader of this group.

may have expected that this timid little girl at first glance would have the courage to talk to her, Wang Qing was really stunned for a moment.

"Rong'er, don't ask!"

Shen Shi was startled and nervously held his daughter in his arms, while looking at Wang Qing in panic, for fear that his daughter's inquiry would anger the vicious thief.

Wang Qing glanced at the little girl who was held in his mother's arms and only showed a pair of eyes looking at him timidly, and after a little thought, he replied in a rare kind tone: "I don't kill women, no matter what, you and your mother will be fine......

After that, he tilted his head and glanced at Liu Yi and Pei Sui, and said with a smile: "As for the two of you, it depends on whether you cooperate or not......

This implied threatening words made Liu Yi and Pei Sui's faces change slightly.

Liu Yi said angrily: "I just thought about it, I think there is still a bit of humanity under my feet......

"Hahaha."

Wang Qing laughed, didn't care about Liu Yi's sarcasm, and snorted towards the mountain: "Go up the mountain!" ”

Liu Yi and Pei Sui glanced at each other, and could only protect the Shen mother and daughter, and under the protection and surveillance of a group of black tigers, they went towards the mountain of Fengshou Mountain.

At the same time, Chu Yan had also taken his brothers into Xiangcheng and came to the gate of the county government in Xiangcheng.

The garrison of the Xiangcheng County Government is not much better than that of Runan, and Chu Yan and his party can be said to have entered the county government like a bamboo.

In the face of this group of bold bandits, the only dozen or so county guards left in Xiangcheng County were not opponents at all, and they were killed by Chu Yan and others in one face, and one of the injured county guards was frightened and immediately threw away his weapon and begged for mercy: "This, this strong man, I am old and young, please raise your noble hand......"

After Chu Yan glanced at him twice, he pointed to the side with the knife in his hand, which was obviously signaling the other party to flee for his life.

I have to say that this county pawn is lucky, he met Chu Yan.

If he meets Wang Qing, the lord who mainly depends on his mood, will most likely make up for it - although Wang Qing does not kill the old and weak, women and children, and does not kill the defenseless, but he may not be merciful to the county guards who have already stabbed against him.

All in all, compared with the slaughter of Wang Qing and his gang in Runan County, Chu Yan was still more restrained in Xiangcheng County.

After scaring those people away, Chu Yan found Wang Yong, the county commander of Xiangcheng County, in the county commander's house not long after.

After learning the news that a thief had entered the county office, the county magistrate Wang Yong was also very angry, and even when Chu Yan broke into his house with someone, the county magistrate dared to shout angrily: "Who are you waiting for?" Do you know what kind of place this is?! ”

Until Chu Yan reported to herself: "Black Tiger Village, Chu Yan!" ”

As soon as he heard that it was Kunyang's black tiger thief, Wang Yong was immediately frightened.

After all, the Black Tiger Thieves are known for their murder - this is a gang of thieves who have not been destroyed after four encirclements and suppressions, but have caused heavy casualties among the officers and soldiers of the thieves.

I think that only such outlaws would dare to attack his county office.

Similar to Liu Yi, Wang Yong immediately thought of the fact that Zou Bu, the lieutenant of Xiangcheng County, led 500 officers and soldiers to Kunyang to encircle and suppress the black tiger thieves, and hurriedly said: "Chu Zhuangshi came this time, but to ask me to retreat from Xiangcheng?" I can promise ......"

Chu Yan was a little surprised by the weakness of this Wang County Order, but he scrupulously adhered to Zhao Yu's instructions when he came, and said lightly: "The big leader of my family, please invite the Wang County Order family to come and be a guest." ”

Hearing this, Wang Yong's face turned pale with fright.

Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Thieves, please be a guest? And still invite his whole family? I'm afraid that there is no return!

Frightened, he hurriedly said: "Chu Zhuangshi, Chu Zhuangshi, this is all a misunderstanding...... In fact, Wang has nothing to do with you, but he can't resist Yang Ding, maybe you don't know, that Yang Ding's identity is noble, and he called on the counties to suppress it...... I mean, it's bad for you, so how dare I refuse? In fact, Huang Shaoduo, the president of the Kunye Mutual Benefit Association, had a face-to-face ......"

He approached Chu Yan and whispered, "Then Huang Shao is also on your side, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chu Yan glanced Wang Yong up and down a few times, and he was also a little surprised that this Wang County Commander knew a lot.

After thinking about it, Chu Yan Zhengse said: "Wang County Order, you can rest assured, we will not be unfavorable to you and your family, but the big leader ordered to invite Wang County Commander to go, Chu must do so, please Wang County Order don't make it difficult for me." ”

Hearing this, Wang Yong had no choice but to take his wife and children with Chu Yan and his party.

Before leaving, Chu Yan also instructed his brothers to set a fire in the front ya's hall.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yong was shocked and anxious: "Why did Chu Zhuangshi set the fire?" ”

Of course he was in a hurry, after all, the county government was set on fire by thieves, and he had an unshirkable responsibility as the county magistrate, even if he was the victim of the victims.

It may be that seeing that Chu Yan was unmoved, Wang Yong eagerly told him what kind of evil consequences would be suffered by the evil act of 'setting fire to the yamen', in short, it is a sentence: setting fire to the yamen is to be an enemy of the Jin State and the imperial court, which is a heinous crime!

But Chu Yan was still unmoved.

At least on the surface, he was unmoved, but in the bottom of his heart, he was more or less worried.

After all, a fool understands what it means to set fire to the yamen.

But at the same time, he also understood that the big leader in the village insisted on ordering him and Wang Qing to do this, which must be the intention of the big leader.

In the county office, Wang Yong's carriage was borrowed, and Chu Yan and his party took the county commander Wang Yong's family captive and went straight to the city gate.

At the gate of the city, they were also blocked by the county guards left behind, but it was obvious that these county guards who lacked training were not the opponents of Chu Yan and the black tiger thieves around him.

You must know that the Black Tiger Thief is trained according to the regular army.

That night, Chu Yan and others took Wang Yong's family captive to the East Wing Mountain on the eastern side of Heihu Mountain.

Because there was a joint camp of officers and soldiers from the five counties on the way back to Heihu Mountain, Chu Yan did not dare to act rashly, and sent two brothers back to the cottage to report the news, while he himself and the rest of the people were in the mountains to watch over Wang Yong's family and wait for Zhao Yu's order.

The two counties of Runan and Xiangcheng were attacked, and the county order was taken away, so naturally some county officials ran to Huang Ben and Zou Bu to report the news.

Around the time of the night, Huang Ben and Zou Bu got a report from the county magistrate of their own county, and learned that their county order was captured by the black tiger thief, and the two were shocked, and hurriedly reported the matter to Yang Ding, hoping to discuss countermeasures with Yang Ding.

After learning the bad news, Yang Ding was also a little dumbfounded.

Even if he didn't expect the Black Tiger Thief to be so bold, within one day, he attacked Runan and Xiangcheng counties at the same time, taking advantage of the emptiness of the garrisons of the two counties, and taking the opportunity to take away the county orders of the two counties.

What's even more shocking is that the two groups of black tiger thieves also set fire to the county office.

"It's a pretty dangerous sign."

After all, Wei Dong, the hometown general, had lived for most of his life, and he immediately smelled a bit of danger from this incident, and he said solemnly: "The black tiger thieves set fire to the county government, I think it is to send a message, that is, they are ...... right now Anything can be done! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yang Ding and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that Zhou Hu wanted to trap the young master in injustice!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing this, Yang Ding frowned deeply.

Of course he understood what the old man meant.

In all fairness, he didn't think that the Black Tiger Thief would be recruited by Kunyang County, after all, even the county lieutenant Ma Gai of Kunyang County was the internal response of the Black Tiger Thief, who could guarantee that the county commander Liu Wei and the county Cheng Li Xu would not be under his control?

If the unfortunate words are true, then I really don't know who recruits whom, and if the entire Kunyang County is not good, it will fall under the control of the black tiger thief.

But then again, the black tiger thieves do have the possibility of being recruited on the surface, but now, this group of bandits, who were originally safe, suddenly became extremely dangerous, attacking the county office, burning the yatang, and abducting the county order, although Yang Ding thought that it was just the original form of this group of bandits, but it was difficult to guarantee that everyone saw it that way.

Some people may think that it was he Yang Ding who 'forced back' this gang of black tiger thieves.

And this means that if those black tiger thieves do any deviant and unreasonable behaviors in the future, he will probably have to bear a certain amount of responsibility.

What's even worse is that at present, Liu Yi's family, the county commander of Runan County, and Wang Yong's family, the county commander of Xiangcheng County, are all in the hands of the black tiger thief.

In case these two families were killed by the Black Tiger Thieves, he Yang Ding might also be held responsibleβ€”at least his reputation would be damaged and greatly damaged.

"Despicable tricks...... But it's amazing. ”

With a long breath, Yang Ding said in a deep voice: "For today's plan, the only way is to eradicate Zhou Hu and make the Black Tiger Thieves leaderless." ”

After that, he turned to Wei Chi and said, "Wei Chi, go and reply to those black tiger thieves, and say that I agreed." …… I am willing to give them 200,000 dollars, but I ask for the head of that Zhou Tiger in exchange! Tell them to do it tonight! ”

"Tonight?"

Wei Chi was slightly stunned.

"Hmm." Yang Dingtou said: "At present, Zhou Hu may not have learned that the people he sent to Runan and Xiangcheng have succeeded, once he gets the news, he will inevitably use Liu and Wang to blackmail us and others, and then we will fall into passivity, we must eradicate that Zhou Hu before this!" …… As soon as Zhou Hu died, the rest of the people should not be afraid! ”

"Got it!"

Wei Chi clenched his fists and left.
