The local tyrants on the mountain, who say that they are local tyrants, are actually just the leaders of a group of hard-working people who have formed a village on this mountain to protect themselves. At this moment, everyone held hunting bows, sticks, hoes, dung forks, and grass rakes in their hands, hiding among the bushes, hiding their tracks, just waiting for Chen Kai to step into the established encirclement. However, as soon as Chen Kai's words came out, everyone present looked at each other, with their few and many failed robberies experience, they really had never seen such a guy stealing lines.

"Tao, Master Tao, that person is crazy, right?"

A middle-aged hunter who took the lead, wrapped his rough and dark skin in a coarse linen coat with layers of patches, and his muscles propped up the short clothes, but he seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the scene in front of him.

"Like, we've been discovered."

"So what to do?"

They were originally villagers who formed villages in the mountains to protect themselves, and they could survive by planting a few acres of thin fields in the mountains, shooting some wild animals and picking some wild vegetables, at least it was better than dying of hunger and cold. On weekdays, this is how it passes, whether it is peace or turmoil in the outside world, they are in a remote area, and they are less affected, anyway, it is nothing more than a hard life. Until the past two years, it was said that there was an anti-Qing army in Jiangxi entrenched in Jianning, Taining and other counties. They were actually fine, but as the Qing army launched a campaign this year, forced by the butcher's knife of the Qing army, many Jiangxi people who entered Fujian with the righteous army began to flee in all directions, and some of them fled to them, which aggravated the local hunger situation and made them have to come out to find some livelihood.

The slightly immature conversation quickly spread among the people in ambush, and uneasy emotions arose. The middle-aged Orion is the most "strong" in martial arts among these people, but if they talk about knowledge, they still have to listen to this Confucian who takes the lead. It's a pity that Confucian has never seen such a situation, and even the methods of robbery are written in the book, and the book does not say that the heroes of Liangshan were called by others when they robbed at the door of their homes.

"Why don't you withdraw first, these people are not coming from the right place."

In other words, the person in charge has already had the idea of retreating. However, from the moment Chen Kai appeared in front of them, it was already too late, and there was no action here, and with a loud shout behind them, the crowd was stunned on the spot.

"It's late!"

As soon as the words fell, an arrow had already been inserted in the center of the crowd, which frightened several people around them, and they fell out of a few buttocks. Then, when they looked back at the direction, a dozen men with swords, guns, bows and arrows were already standing not far behind them. And a man who had just retreated to the back was already with a lancet across his neck, and the two trembled.

Seeing this, the villagers didn't need to say hello, but after being shocked, they hurriedly picked up the guy in their hands and pointed straight at the comer. However, these thirty or forty villagers were completely trampled under their feet in the face of more than a dozen guards and soldiers who had been killed from the battlefield with swords and guns, and their trembling weapons and wandering eyes revealed their fears from the heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are not bandits who cut the path, we are all poor villagers who can't eat, begging for some floating wealth to live, and have never hurt people's lives......"

The situation was clear at a glance, and Confucian swallowed his saliva, knowing that with these villagers around him, it was estimated that he would have to be cut down by others in less than a cup of tea. At this point, there is no need to force any face, just say a few soft words, and you can't pay some miscellaneous grains, vegetables and vegetables, and the two sides will be over.

Confucian is very familiar with current affairs, but Cai Qiao didn't plan to end the matter. He strode forward, forcing them to retreat from the mountain to the mountain path, and then tossing aside all the "weapons", or else he would cut off the head of the man who was clamped in his hand and give them a good look.

At one point, the villagers tried to show some courage, but the lancet only moved slightly, and a stream of blood fell from the neck of the man who was being restrained, and even the tattered trousers were wet in the cry.

Forced by the situation, the villagers retreated to the path and threw aside their "weapons" as ordered. At this time, Chen Kai and Cai Qiao and the others had already converged, a whistle sounded, and in the distance of the road, the donkey carts carrying the baggage they had to carry on this trip slowly drove away, and Kuang Lu, Daozong and the few personal soldiers who acted as coachmen also converged here.

It's just that Chen Kai looked at it, and there was a mixture of shaving and growing hair, especially the young man dressed as a Confucian in the lead, with a shirt and a scarf, which looked more like he was living in Zhongzuo, Nanao Island and today's Chaozhou, rather than the northern Fujian place that had been occupied by the Qing army for several years.

"You don't look like a strongman who is used to doing business without capital, tell me what you know. If it's useful, let it go and wait for you to go home, otherwise, it's easier to just cut you all down, well, it's easier than reporting to the official. ”

Chen Kai said this with a big grin, and then several villagers fell directly to the ground. The sound of begging for mercy sounded, and Chen Kai was annoyed to hear it, so he asked Cai Qiao to bring a few people to the side and interrogate them separately, while he called the Confucian student over and carefully interrogated the surrounding situation.

The Confucian surname Tao Mingqian, is the leader of this group, but not the big family in the village, but a bitter person who has fallen here, on the way back to the hometown was robbed by bandits, and was injured to be treated and cared for by the big families in the village.

In fact, don't look at this person's embarrassment at the moment, in terms of achievements in the imperial examination, it is much higher than Chen Kai's identity as a child. He was originally a student, and the people who won the Longwu Dynasty opening the township test were the ones in June of the second year of Longwu. However, this is also the last township test of the Ming Dynasty, because the Yongli Dynasty was displaced in the early stage, and was subject to the Great Western Army in the later period, and failed to open a branch to take scholars, and Emperor Longwu was martyred only two months after this imperial examination.

"It turned out that he was still a man, disrespectful and disrespectful."

said so, but Chen Kai, Kuang Lu and others didn't care. Chen Kaihao said that the imperial examination has no practical significance for him. As for Kuang Lu, who participated in the township test and didn't care about "losing his name to Sun Shan" because of his wild nature, now he escaped death in the Guangzhou Massacre, and he is even more disdainful of it.

However, perhaps because of inertial thinking, or because he has more initiative on this topic, Tao Qian ignored Chen Kai's lack of interest in this. However, with this person's self-introduction, Chen Kai's interest was hooked up.

"Yu Shiju Jiangxi ......"

Jiangxi people, there is really nothing unusual, in the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi alone recorded a population of more than 5.8 million in the "Ming Huidian", which is more than Zhejiang, and this is only a taxpayer population, not to calculate the vassal population and hidden households. Moreover, in the Jiangxi Righteous Army, which has been fighting at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces all the year round, there is nothing new today. However, this person is from Jiangxi, but he participated in the township test in Fujian, which aroused Chen Kai's interest.

However, this interest is an interest, and the business still has to be figured out. However, Chen Kai's temptation had just been exported, but Tao Qian replied without thinking: "The righteous army that Your Excellency said should be the head of the fourth battalion of Yama under the command of Luo Rong, the governor of the five armies." Now it's no longer within the boundaries of Taining County......"
