After the three of them finished eating the grilled fish, they chatted about some anecdotes in Qizhou City, and Yang Huairen saw that noon had passed, so he got up to say goodbye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old man got up and said: "I can get acquainted with the little brother today, the old man is really fortunate in three lives, I don't know when we can meet again, you and I will grill fish and drink on the shore of Daming Lake again?" ”

Yang Huairen said modestly: "The old man is serious, the boy is really lucky to meet the old man." In fact, the kid has only recently returned to his hometown in Qizhou, and he has a lot of leisure recently, and he will often come to Daming Lake to fish and pass some time. ”

The old man smiled and nodded, and then also hugged his fists, and watched Yang Huairen's back walk away, before he said to himself: "Well, well, yes, this kid may be the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty in the future......"

Yang Huairen recalled what happened just now as he walked, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. He and this old man fishing have a good taste in their lives, but they have a very familiar and cordial feeling when they meet for the first time.

A confidant may be the most plain words of the other party, the clearest eyes, and it is enough, and you don't even need to know the other party's surname and first name, nor do you need to know the identity and status of the other party, let alone guess what the other party is thinking.

When you are completely defenseless in front of a person, then that person is your confidant.

When Yang Huairen returned home, there were already people waiting in the lobby for a long time, and Yang Huairen raised his eyes to see that it was an internal guard he had sent to investigate Liang earlier.

After some inquiry, Yang Huairen got a general idea. Liangshan is ten miles in circumference, originally just a lake island in Liangshanbo, there is a mountain on the island, the vegetation on the mountain is luxuriant, but because the land is scarce, it cannot be cultivated for a long time, so no one lives here for a long time.

The fishermen around Yangsanbo sometimes only use Yangsan as a temporary resting place, but about 50 years ago, a group of people suddenly came to Yangshan and occupied the top of the mountain and lived for a long time.

At first, there were not many of these people, only thirty or forty people, and these people were not bandits who occupied the mountains to rob their homes, but only lived in the mountains and fished near the lake for a living.

The strange thing is that these people rarely have contact with the surrounding people and fishermen, and there is never a shortage of food and other daily necessities on the mountain, so I think there are special people to transport these things from Yuncheng County to the mountain.

Later, the number of people on the mountain gradually increased, from the initial thirty or forty people, gradually increased to three or four hundred, and developed to ten times the number of people who went up the mountain at the beginning.

And in recent years, the people living on the mountain are no longer obscure, and their style of behavior has become more and more domineering, they have cut down the trees on the mountain, built many boats, and went out day and night, robbing pedestrians and merchants on the official road west of Liangshanbo.

Later, the behavior of these bandits became more and more unrestrained, and they were not satisfied with occupying Liangshan as a mountain, and began to prevent the surrounding fishermen from going to the waters around Liangshan to fish within dozens of miles, so there were those things that later oppressed the fishermen.

The fishermen were cut off by these people, and they also went to the government to report, but the government only symbolically sent some catchers to inspect the official road, and did not organize effective forces to clean up the Liangshan bandits.

As for the situation on the mountain, because he couldn't get close to the cottage, the internal guard didn't find any further news, but he only knew that the current creditor on Liangshan was a good man surnamed Li.

This internal guard only came back first to report the information he had discovered in the past few days, and there are still about a dozen internal guards who are still staying around Liangshanbo for further squatting and investigation.

Yang Huairen didn't expect that in just half a month, they would be able to investigate Liangshan clearly, so he let him go down to rest first.

He stayed alone in the hall and paced and thought, but after thinking for a long time, with his knowledge of history and the content of the story in the romance novel "Water Margin" he had read, he really couldn't deduce who fell on Liangshan more than 20 years ago before Song Jiang went up the mountain.

The owner of the village surnamed Li? I haven't heard of it, but who is he? The first thirty or forty people who went up the mountain in Liangshan for decades were not thieves, perhaps they were just a group of homeless people who used the quiet place of Liangshan as a habitat.

But who will send money and food to these people to support their survival? It doesn't make sense to think about such a thing.

After more than 40 years of quiet rest, why did the population of Liangshan suddenly skyrocket? It is impossible for natural fertility and reproduction to increase the number of people tenfold in a short period of time, so the new population, nine times out of ten, came up to the mountain later, but why did this later group of people suddenly go to Liangshan?

The most terrifying thing is that a large group of people who went up later, judging from their behavior, must not be a good kind, and Liangshan has really become a den of thieves and thieves.

Robbing the merchants on the official road west of Liangshanbo, this matter is easy to understand, since they have become bandits, then robbing houses and houses is originally the survival mode of bandits, but what does it mean that they closed the lake again?

If it is just a simple occupation of the fishery resources of Liangshanbo, there is no need to spend so much effort to do such an extreme thing to the innocent fishermen around it.

There are only three or four hundred people on the mountain, even if they eat fish three times a day, they can't even eat one percent of the fishery output of Liangshanbo, so this kind of behavior is completely inconsistent with the logic of normal bandits.

In other words, they must have some ulterior secrets when they closed the lake, and they didn't want the surrounding fishermen to see or disturb them, so what secret deeds did they carry out in the waters of Liangshanbo?

Later, when Song Jiang and their group of people went to Liangshan and fell into the grass, the government also cleared it, although this cleanup was not very powerful, but it also sent a decent army, why did the thieves on Liangshan do more excessive things now, but the government only symbolically sent some people to catch fast and quickly the official road even if it was to deal with official business?

Could it be that there are some ulterior secrets between the Yuncheng government and these thieves on Liangshan?

Combined with the things before and after, Yang Huairen suddenly felt a pang in his heart, although he still couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden in it for the time being, but he found that the current gang of thieves on Liangshan was definitely not as simple as an ordinary thief who occupied the mountain in the eyes of the people.

Behind this, there must be an unknown force controlling all this, I don't know what to do on Liangshan, but once it is done, it must be an earth-shattering event.

When Yang Huairen first passed by Dayepo, he originally had a curiosity about the people on Liangshan, and only thought that for the sake of the poor fishermen around Liangshanbo, with his current strength, he could easily exterminate a group of thieves and give the people a living environment to live and work in peace and contentment.

But now, things are getting complicated.
