Chapter 245: The Bandits of Sakya Temple

"Big boss, this time I slaughtered such a fat sheep, and the brothers have made great efforts." A sturdy man with lamb chops in his hand and a mouth full of oil shouted at Jin Rucheng: "Do you want everyone to take a vacation and go back to Kada City for recreation?" Every day, I wander around the ravine where the birds don't, and people are going to get out of the birds! ”

Not only did the people sitting in this circle laugh and cheer, but even the people in the distance and beyond, after hearing or inquiring clearly, shouted excitedly, or waved their fists excitedly while sitting or standing.

"That's right, big boss, it's been many days since I came out, and everyone who drinks snow and ice is going to be numb."

"I've forgotten the taste of women."

"Okay, okay, what Hall Master Li said is good, I have done a lot of work left and right, and I can pay it back when I go back, and if it's cold, it's good to go back and warm up my body and bones."

Gossip voices rang out, pouring into Jin Rucheng's direction from all directions, and there were some non-Chinese tones mixed in them, which were strange and strange.

Jin Rucheng held the wine bowl, buried his head in the serious drink, did not take everyone's wishes in his heart, as if his ears were deaf, and did not react.

Everyone shouted for a while, and then they were bored, and sat down stupidly, what should they do, that Hall Master Li was also pulled down by the person next to him, and he leaned into his ear and said something, and kept his head silent.

Jin Rucheng drank the slightly bitter barley wine in the bowl in one go, threw the earthen bowl to the ground, wiped his mouth, and glanced at the person sitting next to him.

The man was dressed in a leather robe of a different style, knee-length, shearling, long hair braided around his head, a pair of cowhide boots on his feet, a scimitar pinned to his waist, dark skin, red plateau red on his face, holding a piece of mutton, gnawing slowly.

At first glance, you can see that this is a Tibetan person.

"Lord Bruzan, you heard what they just shouted." Jin Rucheng grabbed a cloth and wiped his hands: "What they said is right, more than a thousand loads of Sichuan salt, enough for us to spend a while, the weather is so cold, it doesn't matter if we go back......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, just watched the reaction of the Tibetan Bruzan.

He had to wait, because it wasn't up to him here.

The current Jin Rucheng, although he is still the leader of the Jingshen Gang, he has another identity.

The leader of the plundering team under the throne of the Tibetan Sakya Monastery.

Of course, there is no official recognition of this identity, and once Jin Rucheng is caught by other forces, Ban Zhida will be completely wiped out and will not admit any accounts.

To put it bluntly, he is a bandit leader who has no tomorrow today, relying on the support of the Sakya forces to hunt in the area of the Dadu River.

As for why the Jingshen Gang, which dominated the middle of the river back then, fell to this, the account has to be settled on the Mongols.

The Mongols go south, killing people and setting fires along the way, it is indiscriminate, they don't care who you are, as long as you are not a Mongol, they will kill.

Therefore, although the Jingshen Gang is vicious, when they encounter a Mongolian army that is more fierce than them, they are like a dirt dog blocking the way in front of an elephant, and they can be killed with a slap.

Chengdu was slaughtered, the helm of the Jingshen Gang was uprooted, and Jin Rucheng, like other Sichuan refugees, was chased around by the Mongol army, not only did he lose his business, but he almost lost his life.

In the years when Sichuan was poisoned, the Jingshen Gang plummeted, the business that made a living was knocked out with a stick, several salt prison pavilions ran out, no one produced salt, even a limited number of salt wells were firmly controlled by the Mongols, not to mention private salt, and even official salt could not be bought.

Jin Rucheng's Jingshen Gang is about to collapse, and many disciples and grandchildren have changed their careers and gone to Jiangnan, in this world, even the underworld can't survive.

He was forced to have no way out, and he couldn't look down on other industries, so he simply fled to Tubo with thousands of gangs, and took refuge in Sakya Temple, Tubo worships Buddha, and the Han people also believe in Buddhism, and it is easy to talk with the same faith, and the Sakya Dharma King Pandita took a fancy to Jin Rucheng's courage and took him and his people in.

After a long time, thousands of Han people had nothing to do near the Sakya Monastery, and did not farm and cultivate, and they had nothing to do all day long, and the noisy movement became bigger and bigger, and they often clashed with the nearby Tubo people and the lamas in the temple, and gradually, Pandita became dissatisfied.

Eat other people's and live in other people's, of course, you can't eat and live in vain, you have to make some effort. Jin Rucheng also sensed that this was not a matter and looked for a new way out.

He found that there was a shortage of salt in Tibet, and it was not cost-effective to buy salt from Guanzhong and Xichuan at a large price, so he immediately came up with a way to help.

Jin Rucheng made a statement to Ban Zhida, saying that there are many smuggler salt dealers in Xichuan who take advantage of the Tibetan border to go north, and take the small road to the north in order to make huge profits.

Ban Zhida thought that this was a good idea, which could solve these troublesome Han people, and also contribute benefits to the temple, killing two birds with one stone.

So he generously agreed, and also provided the city of Kada on the border between Tibet and Sichuan as a place for Jin Rucheng to stay, although the city was simple, but it was more or less a place to go, and Jin Rucheng went happily.

He was accompanied by some Tibetans of the Sakya sect, and the leader was Bruzan.

The Tibetans were in charge of surveillance, and with the slaughter, they loaded and transported the shares belonging to the Sakya Monastery in strict accordance with the agreement, and also had the right to decide the time of Jin Rucheng's actions, and if they did not grab enough salt in a month, they could not return to Kada City.

The Tibetan man Bruzan smashed his mouth, as if he was reminiscing about the taste of the piece of mutton he had just eaten, his eyes drifted around, but he didn't speak.

Of course, Jin Rucheng understood what he meant, he was annoyed, he was hard-hearted, and he didn't want to speak, but he saw that the old brothers sitting around were squeezing their eyebrows at him, looking pleading, obviously not wanting to stay in the ice and snow anymore.

It's easy to understand their mood, who wants to wander outside like a wandering ghost when the snow is at its coldest in spring?

Even Jin Rucheng himself couldn't stand the life of sleeping in the snow with a cold knife in his arms every night, and he missed the little sassy hoof raised in Kada City.

Stamping his feet, he held back his anger and leaned over to Bruzan in a low voice: "Your share is still kept for you alone according to the old rules." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Tibetan Bruzan laughed.

He turned his face, his red and blackened face full of hypocrisy: "Hey, what is the Golden Leader doing?" You and my brother, you don't have to be like this, forget it, this time it's like this, we'll go back tomorrow, go back. ”

Jin Rucheng's teeth were about to be crushed, and he had to smile and secretly hand over a thing, saying: "This is a small harvest this time, you take it first, and when you divide the things, remember to leave us more." ”

Bluzan said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." "I quickly took the thing in my hand.

Looking down, it is a crystal clear jade pendant, with exquisite carving, carved into the shape of Ruyi, under the reflection of snow light, emitting a faint green light, at a glance is a first-class goods.

Brazan was full of joy, kept caressing, and sighed slightly: "If there is no Jia character in the middle of this piece of jade, it will be better." ”
