When Du Mu told Zhang Rui about this plan, Zhang Rui subconsciously thought that Du Mu was lying to himself. This lewd man doesn't look like a trustworthy person no matter how he looks at it, and there will be such a great good thing left for himself in the world?

Zhang Rui felt that this was just Du Mu's mess to save his life. If you don't get yourself and the others to go, you will let people catch turtles in the urn and be caught by the bandits.

When Zhang Rui was about to kill Du Mu, Du Mu said what he was unwilling to do.

The sudden change in Du Mu's identity made many people puzzled, but no one present at the time dared to ask. It wasn't until later that the whole thing was slowly discovered by someone with a heart, and everything may be because of a story, the story of Du Mu.

It turned out that Du Mu was not the current lewd man at that time, he was originally from Qingyuan, Guangdong. There is a wife, a happy and wonderful family.

But on that day, after a group of full-man boys arrived, everything changed.

At that time, this group of boys made a bet to play a game of shooting "human targets". So, he ordered the minions around him, Ahabs, to go to the village to catch some powerless "mud legs", and use them as prey in the name of framing them bandits.

This game of extermination of humanity was forbidden in official circles, but many of the Manchu princes played it in private. Even if the government knows about it and is afraid of their power, they turn a blind eye, and no official is willing to do thankless work.

The vast majority of these "human targets" are powerless Han tenant farmers or homeless people, and the young people are rarely caught as "prey" because they are relatively united.

When the families of these "prey" went to the officials to ask for their crimes, they blocked them back with the evidence that they were framed as bandits or that they had rebelled.

At that time, it was common to kill good people and take risks, not to mention just secretly killing a few remote untouchables.

The power is so great that the government is too lazy to do much, and although the families of the killed are full of resentment, they can only swallow bitterly and continue to live indifferently.

The upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were secretly happy when they found out, after all, how could the Manchu children of the Qing Dynasty be unfamiliar with horseback and bow shooting, it is rare that they are willing to be proficient. As for those animals who can only speak, they can practice arrows for their masters, and that is their blessing.

Whoever dares to be verbose has to doubt his loyalty to the Qing Kingdom, my Daqing Yongzheng Ye can be "Qingfeng is illiterate, why do you flip through the books." This verse shows the damned guy with a rebellious face.

The so-called tiger father has no dog son, and I, the Emperor of the Holy Ming Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Ye, can still turn you mud legs who want to rebel upside down.

………

The "prey" that was caught was "ten dead and lifeless". However, how do these prey know? If you are deceived and caught, you will honestly follow the past, after all, people have knives. And these prey have Du Mu's wife and brother.

After Du Mu's wife, who had just been pregnant for a few months, found out, she hurriedly chased her to the "hunting ground". But her only brother died, and she was not spared.

When Du Mu found her, he found that she had been humiliated to death. The child in the womb was also dug out and thrown aside.

It's ridiculous, that day was when he had just been admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and it was the time when he was in high spirits. According to his teacher, as long as he continues to work hard to be admitted to the Jinshi in the future, it is not indispensable to be an official who serves the Qing Dynasty.

Du Mu was very angry, and he wanted to make decisions through the government. only to find that everything was naïve. I wanted to find all my classmates and teachers to sign the above book, but I found that they either found a reason to ignore themselves, or secretly warned themselves that their husbands can bend and stretch, why should they have no wife?

The whole thing was that the "prey" that was killed was suppressed by the government on the charge of gangsters, and the matter was over.

After many inquiries, Du Mu learned that it was the people of the White Banner of Manchuria who killed his wife and children. Their family was related to Manshang Shu at that time, and often followed Prince Belle Ye's side. Originally, there were no Manchurians in Guangzhou all these years, but I don't know why there were Manchurians recently.

Du Mu was angry but helpless, and finally he wanted to sue the emperor after becoming an official. But his teacher told him privately that after this incident, he would be blacklisted by the government, and it was impossible to get admitted again, so let him go home and find another way.

……

In this way, during a robbery by Li Ba, Du Mu followed Li Ba to Zhilian Mountain. Because Du Mu can read and write, and he can also keep some accounts, he quickly gained Li Ba's trust and often took him with him.

Du Mu also quickly changed from an old-fashioned scholar to a sleek and obscene person.

During this period, Du Mu wanted to guide Li Ba to kill officials and rebel many times, and when the time came, he would invade the city to help his wife and children avenge their hatred.

But where does Li Ba have such courage, he avoids it again and again. In this regard, Du Mu had no choice but to follow Li Ba's side one step at a time.

………

While speaking, Zhang Rui and the others arrived not far from the foot of Zhilian Mountain.

Zhang Rui looked at this stone mountain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the mountains were connected, and the slopes on both sides were steep. In addition to the more trees on the top of the mountain, most of the places around the road up the mountain are open, and it is indeed not easy to ambush the Tibetans.

And the mountain is so big, without the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of people, I am afraid that it will be in vain.

After Du Mu and other bandits pointed out one by one, Zhang Rui soon found that there were often sentry posts on the mountain, and there was no secret sentry in the entire Zhilian Mountain cottage.

Zhang Rui sighed: "It can only be said that bandits only have the knowledge of bandits. "As everyone knows, there are very few secret whistles in this era

The bandits' return benefited from the heavy profits promised by Zhang Rui. You must know that don't look at the superficial scenery of these bandits, look at making money. In fact, the only ones who really make money are those masters and those old bandits, who don't have any money for three or five years, so they mix drinking wine, eating meat and playing with women.

Once you rob your house, you can share one or two taels of silver, and sometimes you can drink wine and eat meat to be full, and you just rely on the number of people to play with a woman at will.

Zhang Rui promised them that as long as they could quickly win Zhilian Mountain this time. They count the first merit, in addition to the past, each person can receive a reward of at least thirty taels of silver, and then they will be rewarded again according to the merit, and after taking the reward, they will leave or stay with them.

After listening to Zhang Rui's words, the thirty taels of silver alone made their eyes glow. If this can be spent for a while with some flowers, they have witnessed Zhang Liu's credit, and there is no reason not to believe it.

As a result, the bandits who were so "reborn after the catastrophe" quickly took on the role. Everyone is scrambling to sell the previous cottages, for fear that the credit will be robbed by others.

It's all silver.

Zhang Rui asked Li Sigou and a group of brothers to stay at the foot of the mountain and wait for the signal, and he took Liu Shishi, Li Mugen, Chen Deyun, Chen Decai, Hong Hu, and Cheng Long.

Although other people also have different intentions about taking them, Zhang Rui can also see that a few of them are more courageous and daring to see blood. Therefore, Zhang Rui suppressed his objections and took them to follow behind Du Mu and the fifteen bandits.

There are risks, but the rewards are not small.
