On August 23, the 21st year of Yongzhi, on the mountain five miles west of Shayan Village, Hesha Town, Taixi County, it was dark and silent after dark.

But in a shack on the mountainside, four men were drinking, with goods and money bags containing silver on the side.

If it weren't for the fierce behavior of these dozen or so people, others would have thought that they were traders resting here.

Of course, this is impossible, because it is impossible for the traders to get their goods up the mountain, after all, the mountain is big but there are no people.

In addition to the four people who were drinking, there were twelve other men with weapons, and they were carefully examining the goods after they were taken off the car.

"Brother Liu, you said that if we continue like this, we won't really become bandits who rob the road, right?" One of the drinking men asked.

At this time, another man picked up the wine bowl and said, "Tianfu, do you see those things next to you?" We've become robbers! ”

Yang Tianfu smiled, and then said: "Brother Qinglai, then you are our big boss!" ”

Huang Qinglai shook his head again and again, pointed to the man next to him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you kid, if you want to be a big boss, it's Brother Liu Dong!" ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Dong couldn't laugh or cry, but he still said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense, first of all, I'm not a big boss, and secondly, don't think about being a bandit!" ”

"Otherwise, the small flag and the chief flag above will not let us go, and when the time comes, there will be more colleagues who are willing to lead this errand to clean up the portal!"

Although Liu Dong said this with a smile, it didn't make the three companions sitting here feel funny at all.

At this time, Pan Rong, who had not spoken, said: "Brother Liu, it's not as serious as you said, right?" ”

After Liu Dong filled himself with another bowl of wine, he said: "I just want to remind you, don't forget your identity for the sake of the silver you robbed!" ”

These words can be described as hitting the nail on the head, although it is only a slight reminder, but it makes everyone feel a sense of empowerment.

Oh, yes! These people are Jinyiwei, and they are Jinyiwei with errands, not to be the king of the mountain here.

At this time, the youngest Yang Tianfu said: "Brother Liu, let us go up the mountain to be robbers, which is also the meaning of Xiaoqi Banxiaoqi, and we are also carrying out orders!" ”

Yang Tianfu stiffened his lips, and without waiting for Liu Dong to speak, Huang Qinglai, who had the best relationship with Yang Tianfu, said: "But don't forget, what is our real errand, going up the mountain to cover up people's eyes!" ”

Yang Tianfu actually knows these truths, but young people like to be different, so they will say a few words.

But at this time, no one wanted to blame Yang Tianfu, only listened to Pan Rongdao: "I don't know when this errand will be the head, move your mouth above, we people will be tired and break our legs!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Dong's expression immediately became serious, and then he listened to him: "Pan Rong, don't talk nonsense, who sent this errand, think about it yourself!" ”

Hearing this, Pan Rong couldn't help but be shocked, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

Huang Qinglai also had a serious face at this time, only the youngest Yang Tianfu was a little puzzled, and asked, "Wasn't this errand sent by Ban Xiaoqi?" ”

No one answered this question, and because of Fang Cai's conversation, the jars of wine in front of him were not fragrant.

At this time, they can't help but miss the city and their families in the city, and their hearts are like arrows!

These people have been living here for almost two months, just to keep an eye on the farmers in Shayan Village at the foot of the mountain, and their daily life can be described as monotonous and boring.

Fortunately, in order to make their existence more reasonable, the Hundred Households approved them to become bandits, which made life more interesting.

So these goods next to them are their latest trophies, and every three to five days they will go down the mountain to grab them.

Those of them who were ordered to rob were not afraid of being tracked down by the government, not to mention that the Taixi County Government did not have that energy.

At this moment, an exclamation came from the side: "My lord, come and see!" ”

As soon as they heard that there was a situation, Liu Dong and the four of them immediately came to their senses, and then quickly got up and walked over.

Then they saw a sharp object in an open sack with a cold glow on it.

"My lord, it's the spearhead!" The officer on the side reminded.

"My lord, there are them here!" Another messenger shouted.

Liu Dong picked up the spearhead in the sack, these things were all covered in the grain, and if you didn't search carefully, you really couldn't find it.

The spearhead, like salt and iron, is absolutely contraband, so this matter is quite serious.

At this time, Pan Rong said: "I really didn't see that the people in the caravan just now were honest, but they were still doing the work of selling weapons privately!" ”

Huang Qinglai also said at this time: "Those people are going from east to west, and then west is Luoyun Pass, I am afraid they want to sell outside the pass!" ”

Outside the customs is the Golden Horde, the sworn enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and things like salt and iron are strictly controlled items.

But on the contrary, there are people who are greedy for profit and like to take risks to earn this money.

At this time, Liu Dong said: "The Lord of the Hundred Households hates this kind of thing, and I will report this matter tomorrow, and let someone from above investigate!" ”

The other three had no objections, after all, they lived in Guangde City, and the Hu people outside the gate threatened their lives, how could they not be careful.

Just when Liu Dong was about to ask how much cash he had grabbed, he heard the sound of rustling not far away, so Liu Dong immediately asked his subordinates to be on guard.

"Who?" Huang Qinglai asked in a low voice.

The person who came said, "My lord, it's me...... Colt! ”

The ponies are also their servants, but they are secretly staying in the village with the other three, and it stands to reason that they should not return until tomorrow.

At this time, Huang Qinglai said: "Come here!" ”

Then I saw a young man of about twenty years old, carrying a knife, walking quickly.

At this time, Liu Dong asked, "What are you doing?" ”

After taking a breath, the pony said, "My lord, there is a situation...... There is a situation in the village! ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone suddenly came to their senses, this is a rare time to warn, so Liu Dong said: "Hurry up!" ”

Xiao Ma said: "My lord, in the village where the villain is located, I found that someone has entered the house of those three rebels, and it is likely that it is the White Lotus Sect rebels!" ”

Liu Dong said: "Could it be someone from the village?" ”

The reason why there is such an idea is also because the people in this village are kind after all, and they can't sit back and watch the bloodline of the three families cut off, so someone often sends some food.

The babies of the three families are the bait that fished out the White Lotus Sect's anti-thieves, so Jinyiwei also acquiesced to the care of the villagers, after all, if people die, they can't play.

Previously, because of the misunderstanding caused by the entry of the villagers, the captain stationed in the surveillance scene was exposed after he arrived, so that he had to retreat in the end.

That's why Liu Dong asked a lot, if they made a mistake, they were likely to startle the snake if they appeared rashly, and then the thieves couldn't pretend to be able to go down, and it would be a troublesome matter.

At this time, Xiao Ma said: "My lord, although these people are dressed simply, their bearing is very extraordinary, and they are by no means comparable to the villagers of Mune!" ”

This is to the point, it is strange that people who can be sent out by the White Lotus Sect to do things can be the same as ordinary people.

Therefore, Liu Dong decided to take a look, so he swept his gaze to the remaining three.

Pan Rong and Huang Qinglai both nodded, so Liu Dong said: "Everyone take good guys, go to Shayan Village at the foot of the mountain, be careful when you rush later, don't make a fuss!" ”
