Qingyuan County, Nanyue, is located in one of the five mountains of Nanling, among the Meng Mountains, the territory is full of peaks and peaks, the streams are vertical and horizontal, the terrain is high, 87% of the total area is mountainous, there are "nine mountains and half water and half fields" in ancient times, Zhuang nationality, Yao nationality, Han nationality live together. It is rich in local products such as Shatian pomelo, large meat ginger, rosin, Huaishan, mushroom, tea oil, honey, japonica, bamboo shoots and so on.

At dusk, a large cloud of fire burned in the sky, staining the entire western sky red.

Xia Xue disguised herself as a beautiful young man, and the Ouyang brothers and sisters disguised themselves as their attendants, and rode along a potholed mountain road to Qingyuan County in the mountains.

Xia Xue received a secret report from the black-clothed guard that the cause of death of Yang Dao, the former county commander of Qingyuan County, was strange, and the current county commander Feng Qi was corrupt and incompetent. However, what is reflected from normal official channels is that the cause of death of the former county commander Yang Dao was sudden death due to heart disease, which is a normal death due to illness. Although the current county magistrate Feng Qi has mediocre political achievements, he has good governance, and the people of Qingyuan County live and work in peace and contentment, and the society is stable.

What exactly is the actual situation? Xia Xue decided to go and investigate secretly in person.

The sunset is like fire, and the hot wind follows. Xia Xue has high-tech clothes that can regulate the temperature, so it doesn't matter, but the robes of the Ouyang brothers and sisters have already become wet and pasted on their backs, which is very uncomfortable. Mercedes-Benz all day, Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Qian both felt their mouths. Lips are scorched and drowsiness is abnormal.

Soon they entered a barren mountain range. Now it is the end of the day, the twilight is heavy, and the surrounding mountains are treacherous, which is daunting.

A deep valley appeared in front of him, Xia Xue stopped to observe the terrain for a while, and ordered to continue moving, and the three of them walked along the winding mountain road towards the deep valley.

In a few moments, the fast horse had reached the bottom. The side of the road is reckless, desolate and filthy, the pines and cypresses above the head are shady, and the already unknown mountain road suddenly becomes darker.

Xia Xue was about to make a few torches for lighting, when she suddenly heard a shout from the side of the road: "Wait for Hugh to leave, if you want to live, quickly leave the money to buy the road!" Before the shout fell, someone around immediately called in response, and in the chaos, a group of robbers with black veils suddenly poured out of the bushes.

Ouyang Yong immediately held an iron rod, Ouyang Qian pulled out the Tang knife and waited for it.

Xia Xue saw that there were a total of ten robbers in this group, with a strange expression, a little cringe, and she didn't look like a vicious habitual thief.

So she asked the Ouyang brothers and sisters to watch the horses and pay attention to catching the fleeing robbers.

Then he jumped off the horse with a relaxed expression, slowly pulled out his Tang sword, and walked slowly towards the robbers, feeling not like he was going to fight, but like going to a banquet.

Of course, the Ouyang brothers and sisters knew how powerful the "fairy sister" was, and they didn't say anything, just waited for them in the back.

A tall and seemingly leader-like robber, seeing a handsome young man with cute Yuxue, long and curled eyelashes, a pair of watery eyes clear and translucent, and a face so tender that it seemed that he could get out of the water with a pinch, without the slightest fear, swaggered towards them, couldn't help but be stunned, and then became furious, holding a steel knife in his hand, waw wow screaming and slashing towards Xia Xue, he thought: "This arrogant young baby, see me scared you so much that you pee your pants!" ”

Xia Xue smiled slightly, slammed the steel knife with the Tang knife, flew up like lightning, and kicked the big man's lower abdomen. The big man screamed miserably, and his body curled up like a shrimp and fell to the ground, convulsing and unable to get up again.

The four robbers who followed behind were startled, and it was unbelievable that the most powerful leader of his gang had been beaten down by this handsome young man. They were stunned for a moment, plucked up their courage, and roared at Xia Xue with a steel knife.

"Bang!" "Bang! "Bang! "Bang! Then there were four screams, and the four robbers behind him almost didn't see the young man's move clearly, they were already lying on the ground and convulsing, their faces twisted in pain, they couldn't imagine that such a handsome and delicate beautiful boy could move so fast, and the power of his fists and feet was so great, that they almost fainted in pain when they were hit.

In an instant, the five robbers had been knocked to the ground, and the remaining five robbers, except for an older one and a young robber who looked thin and trembling, stood still, the other three screamed, frightened, and only hated their parents for not giving them two more legs.

Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Qian immediately chased after them like bows and arrows off the string, Ouyang Yong knocked the two fleeing robbers to the ground with two sticks, and Ouyang Qian knocked the other fleeing robber unconscious with the back of the Tang knife.

Xia Xue slowly walked towards the old and the young who were shivering, the old robber looked at Xia Xue who walked in, roared in despair, and slashed at Xia Xue head-on with a wooden stick, Xia Xue's Tang knife flashed, and the wooden stick was broken into two, the old robber took the remaining half of the wooden stick, and was as stupid as wood in place, Xia Xue went up and kicked it in the abdomen, the old robber snorted and fell to the ground holding his stomach, his face twisted in pain.

Now only the emaciated young robber stood there, stunned and trembling like chaff, holding a short knife in both hands, but it was nothing but an ornament.

Xia Xue looked at this young robber who was so frightened that she almost peed her pants, she almost laughed, and said in her heart: "Just this rat gall, you can still be a robber!" ”

She exclaimed, "Lay down your arms!" ”

The young robber screamed, threw away his dagger like a viper, fell to his knees with a grunt, and began to weep.

Xia Xue heard the screams and cries like a girl, went up and tore off the black veil covering his face, and found that it was indeed a girl, and couldn't help but be surprised, she had never seen a girl as a robber.

Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Qian each tied up the nine robbers who had fallen to the ground, and then gathered them together.

Ouyang Yong looked at the robbers who fell to the ground and kept groaning, and couldn't help but hehe, "It's so vulnerable, it turns out to be a group of rabble!" ”

Ouyang Qian also nodded in agreement: "Judging from the situation of their attack, no one knows martial arts, I think this group of people is probably not a ringing horse who specializes in robbing houses." ”

Xia Xue looked at the trembling girl robbers and the robbers who were tied up and lying on the ground, and frowned slightly: "They look like novice robbers, not like professional bandits!" ”

The older robbers had slowly come to their senses, and all the black veils of the robbers had been ripped off.

Xia Xue's sharp eyes swept over the older robber, and saw that he was five big and three thick, with a flat head and a straight face, a straight nose and a square mouth, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a straightforward appearance, more like the shopkeeper of a small shop or a craftsman.

The older robber knelt down in front of Xia Xue, and Xia Xue asked, "Who is your surname and what do you do for a living, to tell the truth!" ”

"Hui Shaoxia, the villain's surname is Zhou, and the single name is a sincere character. Generations of ancestors have lived in this Qingyuan County, and the villain has always made a living by striking iron, and only abandoned his family not long ago. ”

"What is the reason why you abandon a decent livelihood and go to the mountains to fall into the grass?"

Zhou Cheng said with a painful expression: "The villain has been learning to strike iron with his father since he was a child, and he has been open in this city for more than 30 years. The family has a clumsy Jing and a son and two daughters, a family of five, everyone is stubborn and healthy, all of them are industrious and thrifty, although they pay taxes on a monthly basis, there is still a surplus, so they do not worry about three meals a day. It's not fashionable to have meat and fishy food. The villain often goes to the bookstore to find a seat, and after a long time, he can also know the surface of the book. The villain felt that although his family background was poor, compared with many poor families in the city, the villain's life was very comfortable and beautiful.

Who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. One day, when Lei Zhentian's minions saw that the dog was young and strong, they took him captive and forced him to serve the evil lord. The child's name is Zhou Kui, and he looks like a tiger......

Xia Xue didn't wait for Zhou Cheng to finish speaking, and asked urgently: "Who is Lei Zhentian?" ”

Zhou Cheng replied: "This person is a local tyrant in Qingyuan County, extorting money everywhere, looting people's fat and ointment. He devoured the whale swallow, took advantage of the plunder, occupied half of the county's fertile land, and opened three out of ten shops and businesses in the city. often bribed government officials, colluded with the Qingyuan County government and county officials, and harmed the people. Whoever goes against him will be secretly killed, and the county government will automatically act as Lei Zhentian's protector. Protect. Umbrella, we ordinary people have no way to complain! ”

I didn't expect that there was such a corrupt place in the Angel Country, Xia Xue said angrily: "Lei Zhentian has no king's law here, and he is perverse, and several county commanders in Qingyuan County have acquiesced?" ”

Zhou Cheng replied: "In the past, the county commanders who came here were still a bit of a climate of three fires when new officials took office, but soon they all stopped and retreated. These soft bones saw that Lei Zhentian was rich and hot, so they tended to be inflammatory, and they became puppets. Once they complied, Lei Zhentian thanked them with a lot of money, and he was at peace with them from then on. They are full of lust and fat here, but they have suffered the people of our county. ”

Hearing this, Xia Xue's face sank, and she said coldly: "A small county in a remote area has been usurped by bullies for a while, although it is unfortunate, it is eternal; It is not uncommon for a certain county commander to be weak and incompetent, to endure humiliation, and to seek satisfaction with grievances. But you said that over the years, the successive county orders have not been broken jade, and they would rather be cartilage cowards who are full of tiles, and they have all succumbed to the power of Lei Zhentian, without exception, this son is really hard to believe! ”

Zhou Cheng sneered: "This is what our people in Qingyuan deserve to suffer!" Two years ago, there was a county commander Yang Dao Yang who was unwilling to be too upside, recognized the thief as his father, and decided to get rid of Lei Zhentian, who knew that more than a month later, he died of a heart attack inexplicably, and the inspectors sent by the superiors did not find anything abnormal, so they reported that Yang Dao died of illness. Later, he sent the current county commander Feng Qi to Qingyuan County, Feng Qi was soon bought by Lei Zhentian and became his puppet, and now Qingyuan County basically has the final say in everything. ”

The more Xia Xue listened, the more angry she became, thinking that it seemed that an anti-corruption department needed to be set up in the future, just like the Independent Commission Against Corruption in later generations, otherwise the Angel Kingdom would have to be ruined by these corrupt and corrupt officials, she asked Zhou Cheng to continue.

"In this way, my son Zhou Kui was forced to become Lei Zhentian's house slave, and the villain never saw him again. Humanity and blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular, and this is what should happen to the villain. Not many days later, Ya Po, who has always been a matchmaker, came to meet the villain, saying that the villain's eldest daughter Zhou Ju had already reached the standard plum period. There should be a mother-in-law, and it is said that Lei Zhentian has always cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade. I am willing to buy her with fifty taels of silver and accept her as a partial house. Of course, the villain refused to throw the little girl into the fire pit, so he refused. Unexpectedly, three days later, the little girl went to the market to shop, but never came back. The villain went to Lei Mansion again and again to ask to see her, but each time he was severely beaten and expelled from the gate.

"The loss of my only son first is already a catastrophe, and the loss of my beloved daughter is even worse. Clumsy Jing couldn't withstand such a blow, and since then he couldn't afford to be sick, lingering all day long, crying blood, half a month ago, he went away with grief and anger. The villain picked up the wooden stick and went to Lei's house to fight hard, but was intercepted by the family, beat the villain to the head and bleed, and threw it in the heart of the street. Seven days ago, a gang of people splashed and burned the villain's shop to ashes. Suffering from this disaster, the villain had no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, so he had to take his second daughter Zhou Mei to abandon the city and flee. When I entered the mountains, I met a group of brothers, and when I inquired, they were also people who were ruined and desperate by the thunderstorm, so they joined their group. This evening, we came out for the first time to rob the merchant travel, but unexpectedly met the young man and his party, hey, poor me Zhou Cheng has a bad fate, and it is in vain. After saying that, he burst into tears.

The girl robber standing next to him hugged Zhou Cheng and cried. Xia Xue estimated that this female robber should be Zhou Cheng's youngest daughter Zhou Mei.

Except for the cries of the two, there was silence in the valley. The tragic history of blood and tears of Zhou Cheng's family made Ouyang Yong and Ouyang Qian indignant, and the two hated the bully Lei Zhentian and the corrupt officials so much that they gritted their teeth.

Xia Xue's face was grim, it seemed that it was necessary to cut off the bully Lei Zhentian, to punish the corrupt and corrupt officials in Qingyuan County, to find out the cause of the death of Yang Dao, an upright and good county commander, to formulate a set of anti-corruption systems, and to appoint a good county magistrate to Qingyuan County, so as to ensure the long-term stability of the Qingyuan County magistrate and to ensure that the people of Qingyuan County lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Xia Xue said to these robbers: "The criminals have listened, you wait to gather in the mountains and forests, block the road and rob, intending to make money and kill people, and commit a capital crime. According to the laws of our angel kingdom, you and other family property should be confiscated, and you and others should be beheaded as an example. However, this son is really a first-time offender, and he was forced by others to do it as a last resort, so he regards this case as a special case and takes the heart of the world as the foundation. I decided to release you, hoping that you would abandon evil and turn to good and become a new person. ”

All the robbers were overjoyed when they heard this, and kowtowed to Xia Xue and the three of them to thank them, promising not to do evil in the future.

Zhou Cheng wept and said: "The young man has opened three sides, compassion is in his heart, he has pardoned the villain and other capital crimes, and he has given me a way to live, and he has been rebuilt with grace, and the villain is unforgettable, and he will be a cow and a horse, and the rewards will not be endless." But because Lei Zhen is naturally vicious, he is the most grudgeful, and he will never give up on us. We have escaped today, and we can't escape tomorrow, the young man spared us, we also avoided the pit and fell into the well, and sooner or later we will die! ”

Xia Xue shouted: "Since ancient times, the sun has not risen in the west, the water has not flowed backwards, and the thunder earthquake can be fierce for a while, how can it be domineering!" If he blocks the car with his mantis arm, he will be crushed! ”

After that, he held the Tang knife tightly with both hands, and waved the knife angrily at a big tree with a thick bowl mouth on the side of the road, just like waving a knife at the neck of the bully Lei Zhentian, only to hear the sound of "click", and the big tree with a thick bowl mouth that had to be cut down for a while with a saw and axe was actually cut into two sections by Xia Xue with a knife, and the upper half of the thick trunk and huge crown fell to the ground with the blade.

All the robbers were stunned at once, oh my God, such a sharp and tenacious long knife, such a powerful and terrifying force, it was simply too against the sky! It's horrible!

If it were to cut a man, wouldn't it be the same as cutting a turnip?

All the robbers were scattered, and they all trembled and lay on the ground, throwing themselves to the ground with Xia Xue's five bodies, completely convinced. They also believed that this handsome young man with extraordinary martial arts skills would definitely be able to eradicate the bully Lei Zhentian and avenge them, and each of them had a light of hope in their eyes.

Xia Xue said to Zhou Cheng and the others: "You and others are wronged, and they suffer a lot from Lei Zhentian, and when I arrest Lei Zhentian, you can report your injustices to this son, and then this son wants to try all the cases, and give you a justice." ”

The robbers roared with joy and kowtowed to Xia Xue again to thank her, so Xia Xue asked the Ouyang brothers and sisters to untie all these robbers, let them go, and then hurry up and continue to rush to Qingyuan County.
