In an alley on the east street of Muzhou City, dozens of bandits gathered together, and the leader was Jinmao Hu Yanshun, this guy actually became a small leader among the bandits, of course, this has something to do with the large number of bandits and the chaotic management, it can be said that the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, the general does not know how many soldiers he has, and the soldiers do not know who is in charge. It's just that when I know that when I fight, I rush to the top, and in peacetime, I form groups of three or five, each of them finds a place to settle down, and I go to rob and do bad things in groups, and no one cares about it anyway.

Yan Shun, this guy, saw that his seven or eight brothers were mixed in, he knew that it was almost there, this guy lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the official army has conquered Hangzhou City, and after the general of the protector Si Xingfang was captured alive, the five horses were separated, and the scene was miserable." ”

"What, the Protector General was captured alive?" The guy who asked the question was arranged, his name was Xiao Liuzi, he had no name, and he followed Yan Shun when he was in Dry Tree Mountain, and he was very excited. The kid mixed in the middle of the crowd, fanning the flames everywhere, he pretended to be very scared and asked: "It's too cruel to divide the corpses of the five horses, and they won't be caught by the court, if that's the case, I won't do it, I'll go home." ”

"Look at your boy's bear-like, people are the generals who protect the country, so they have that kind of treatment, you are a little minion who is afraid of a fart, follow behind in the war, and run away if you are defeated, you are afraid of a fart." Yan Shun slapped Xiao Liuzi on the head, he looked around and said, "I heard that the imperial court used the heavenly thunder, and it was the city gate that was directly exploded. It's scary. ”

Yan Shun this guy desperately promoted the so-called heavenly thunder, as if falling from the sky to punish the bandits, and finally this guy said: "The official army is already approaching Muzhou, and I don't know if the heavenly thunder will explode in the city, maybe this heavenly thunder is not from the imperial court, it is God who punishes us." ”

Xiao Liuzi saw that the people around him were not very afraid, so he interjected: "Head, didn't you say that the Holy Father was sent by God to save the people, how could there be a thunderbolt?" ”

"When today's son is honored as the Daojun Emperor, it is said that he is an immortal sent down by God, you must know that the legendary old immortal Lin Lingsu is the upper knowledge of the heavenly palace, the middle of the world, and the lower knowledge of the earth. Fang Jie was caught by him casting a spell at the beginning, and this time the heavenly thunder is estimated to have been lowered by him casting a spell, if the heavenly thunder falls on the top of you and me, hey, maybe it will be blown to pieces. ”

Yan Shun knew that he couldn't say too much, and that was enough, he said mysteriously: "I'm not going to do it, it's better to make some money and go home to ask my wife to have children." ”

"Catch some money, catch it there!" Xiao Liuzi knew that the heat was almost over, and he said angrily: "Those leaders, big bosses have made a lot of money, and we small soldiers are suffering and tired, it is really better to grab a vote." ”

"Yes, it's really a vote."

The group of thieves began to rob in groups of three or five, and the movement was even louder, but they were not suppressed despite this, as if this robbery was tacitly approved by the above. Behind the robbery was the flow of bandits, and rumors began to spread everywhere, and they intensified, and more and more people fled.

The small Muzhou is actually a small county town, and it is good to accommodate one or two thousand soldiers, but now it is 50,000 people, and they can't afford to pay money, plus Shi Bao can't lead troops at all, so it's normal for this bandit to rob everywhere. There are too many bandits, they can't manage them at all, and they can't see the thousands or even tens of thousands who have escaped.

Rumors are flying all over the place, not only in the army, but also among the common people. Muzhou is a small county town, most of the population is concentrated in the countryside outside the city, and there are only more than 1,000 households and 4,000 or 5,000 bandits in the real city.

There are many bandits, but it is not the source of chaos, the most important thing is the chaos of the official system, Fang La rebelled, claiming to be a holy prince, when setting up the official system for civil and military officials, it was simply child's play, I didn't want to be the same as the imperial court, and there was no good system, so I could only do it casually. As a result, after many official positions are set, officials don't know what to do. Some things are managed by seven or eight officials, and some things are not managed by officials at all.

The biggest confusion is that Xiang Wang Yin, Shi Bao, Si Xingfang, Li Tianrun, these important ministers have the right to set official positions, and they can be assigned to the official positions of the people below with a casual mouth, of course, there is only an official position, no salary, to put it bluntly, there is not so much money to pay silver, whoever robs it counts.

Recently, Shi Bao has not been in a good mood, this Muzhou is too small and too poor, and he can't collect money at all, so not only can he not enjoy it, but he can't even pay his military salary.

The most uncomfortable thing for Shi Bao is that Muzhou is Fang La's hometown, and he wants to build a base here, but a large number of gold and silver treasures have been transported to Qingxi Town, and the county has nothing, so it really has to feed 50,000 soldiers. Moreover, Fang Baihua, the princess, still has to be a prison army, so that she can't plunder on a large scale without money.

Shi Bao, who was in a bad mood, was drinking, and the people who accompanied him to drink were his iron buddies, good brothers, these people complained while drinking, and there was only one theme, that is, no money.

Shi Qun was drunk, and this guy said very dissatisfied: "Everyone is a lot of money, but we are in this Muzhou where birds don't, and the brothers can't even eat meat, big brother, you don't know how the brothers below live, many brothers don't run away because they can't eat, you see that people are Xianju Lu Shinang, Yongjia Yu Dao'an, Wuzhou Dongyang Huo Chengfu, Lanxi Lingshan Zhu Yan and Wu Bang all occupy relatively wealthy states and counties. A lot of silver, let's pour it here, the silver has been sent to Qingxi Town, and the brothers can't even fill their stomachs. ”

"Yes! Among the eight heavenly kings, the eldest brother is the third, but the fat difference that occupies Hangzhou is handed over to the Si Xingfang, and even Zhu Yan, who is not in the stream, and Wu Bang occupies a larger territory than Muzhou. If you go on like this, the brothers won't be able to get along, big brother, you have to think of a way, you can't let the brothers go to the battlefield hungry. I heard that Hangzhou has been conquered by the government, and the division has also been divided by the five horses. "It was Shi Bao's brother-in-law Xie Fei who spoke, this guy didn't have the ball skills, so he knew how to complain all day long.

"Shut up, all shut up Lao Tzu, what are you talking nonsense?" Shi Bao slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and he said angrily: "You also believe the rumors below. There are at least 100,000 troops in Hangzhou, and no matter how stupid the division is, it will not lose Hangzhou. As for Zhu Yan, what kind of thing is Wu Bang, he can be compared with Lao Tzu. Let's occupy Muzhou, as long as it is to defend Qingxi Town, it is the holy land of our Holy Father, and it is also the place where the treasure is. ”

Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Shi Jintian said badly: "Big brother, isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune, why should we guard Jinshan and suffer?" Why don't you send your brothers to Qingxi Town? ”

"Presumptuous, do you want to find death?" Shi Bao was furious, and he said angrily: "The Holy Father trusts me so much that he gave me the heavy responsibility of guarding Muzhou, and now you actually instigated me to plunder Qingxi Town, so how can I be worthy of the Holy Father's trust." ”

Shi Jintian was bought by Yan Shun, he betrayed everyone for five hundred taels of silver, in this guy's opinion, no matter how big the official fight is, there is no benefit from silver, and after the city is broken, there are three thousand taels of silver, plus the official position of the magistrate of Muzhou.

Although Shi Bao was reprimanding, everyone stared at Shi Jintian with expectant eyes, which gave him confidence, and this guy said mysteriously: "It is said that Qingxi Town has gathered tens of millions of wealth, as long as we unknowingly get out a small part, it is enough for the brothers to live happily for a lifetime, I don't know what everyone thinks." ”

"Big brother, big brother, you have an idea."

Although Shi Bao reprimanded Shi Jintian, he knew that since everyone had this thought, it was very terrible, if they couldn't get the silver in a short time, then it would be easy to make trouble.

Robbery, Honghe Town, thirty miles away from Muzhou, is a necessary and wealthy town, but it was occupied by Fang Baihua's direct guards, and it has not been looted at all. If you can loot it all, then the problem will be solved.

After making up his mind, Shi Bao said, "Brothers, do you all want to get rich? ”

"Yes, the brothers are all poor, big brother, did you promise to ransack Qingxi Town?" Shi Jintian didn't expect Shi Bao to change his mind so quickly, he said with his hands on his hands: "Little brother, I am willing to take the lead." ”

"Brother, I'm willing to take the lead."

"I'll go."

The group of people quarreled, and almost everyone knew that when it came to robbery, taking the lead meant that the wealth was rolling in, and no one wanted to be left behind.

"Shut up, what are you arguing about, this time we sacked Honghe Town, we must not touch Qingxi Town, the key is that if we sack Honghe Town, we must spread Fang Baihua, and we must kill on a large scale, this is a bit difficult to do, once the news is leaked, the Holy Father will definitely not let me go."

Yes, Honghe Town is Fang Baihua's territory, there are three thousand elite soldiers there, and it is almost impossible to quietly ransack Honghe Town. If you want to sack Honghe Town, you must open Fang Baihua and then slaughter the city, but once this kind of massacre spreads, the consequences are quite serious, and everyone present is silent.

Shi Bao knew that this group of cowards did not have the guts, he said: "I want to find a way to support Fang Baihua, whoever leads the ransacking of Honghe Town can get one-tenth, of course, the news has been leaked, it has nothing to do with everyone, he carries it alone." ”

"I'll go, I'll carry it myself." Shi Jintian thought that he had already decided to betray Fang La anyway, so slaughtering the city was not a matter, and after he ransacked it himself, he could just run away. Not to mention a tenth, you can take it all.
