In the sub-city of Guo Sanchong outside Guangzhou, the streets and markets at the front gate of the Four Seasons Pavilion of Qingyi Fang are full of people, and the smell of fireworks lingers in the sky, forming a lingering haze for a long time.

And the young Pei Yushi, who was dressed as a little hat and a little boy in Tsing Yi, never thought that one day, he could rely on eating everywhere to carry out his tasks; What soup prison balls, what water cakes, what fish cakes, what miscellaneous skewers, what plucking paste, what crispy raw frying, what stuffed snail lions... He couldn't stop eating it at all.

This is the difference between heaven and earth compared to the days when he was mixed in with a group of apprentices in the carpentry workshop, tired and tired, and intrigued and wary of each other. While he was thinking truthfully, he was agile like a clever fish, shuttling through the busy streets;

From time to time, between those stalls and shops, he scolded and scolded several "young boys" and "dead on the street", just like a real guy who rushed home in a hurry to rush home in order to catch the master's delivery, and finally disappeared into the crowd and reappeared in a diagonal alley.

And here, there were already several young men in different costumes, and they gestured several times behind him, and after confirming from the secret sentry outside that no one was following, and no one with mixed eyes noticed, they re-gathered around Bei Yushi, who had turned back, and showed a certain expression of joy and anticipation.

"It's freshly made sesame grill, and there's a clam clip."

The paper bag in Bei Yushi's hand and the lotus leaf dumplings tied with thread were eagerly taken by them, and they tore open them and ate them.

Another young guard of the newspaper team, who was dressed in tatters with him, stood up and patted the dust on his body, and then walked out slowly and methodically, taking over his original street sentry position.

Unlike him, who came from a boat family, Wei Xiaogou used to be a pickpocket and beggar on the streets, and because he couldn't make up the daily routine set by the beggars, he lost a little finger on his left hand. Hungry and full, and often bullied by the beggars, and was beaten to death several times and almost didn't survive.

So much so that in the end, he was beaten down and tied up as a scapegoat, and sent to prison to bear the guilt for the group. Originally, he only had to wait for his life to die, but the rebels/grass thieves suddenly came to Chaozhou, and no one cared about him as an insignificant thief for a while; After the city was broken, they were even released from prison.

They were then re-examined and interrogated according to the charges on their charges, and most of those who had been wronged or convicted of crimes were released, and even given a little dry food to return to their hometowns; The wounded and sick were bandaged or received simple treatment, so many begged to stay on the spot, even if it was to do the most menial chores for the rebels.

And Wei Xiaopu, because he was still young, was directly asked a few words and then released, with this bag of dry food walking on the street after eating most of it, he suddenly found that he had nowhere to go, so he turned back to find those rebels who were imprisoned by hand; only to find that now it has been re-closed by the rebels, and the original family is a noble or high-ranking person. And like the half-grown son who has not grown up this year, he has no special reasons and deeds to contribute, and people don't accept it at all.

So, after the rebels occupied the city of Chaozhou for a few days, the beggars who roamed the streets were quickly put under control; And the head of the regiment and several stout members whose lives were uncovered in their hands were quickly beheaded. The other beggars were also forced to serve as labor to atone for their sins, and they were never able to return; Only he and a few younger street orphans were sheltered by the rebels because they exposed the evil deeds and crimes of the beggars, and belonged to the type that could still be saved;

Then, in the harsh and intensive daily training in the army, he was quickly wiped out of most of the past vices, accumulated evils and inferiority, and quickly transformed into a volunteer soldier who vowed to seek justice for the suffering people in the world. So he needs to make a contribution to prove himself.

He remembered the deafening words that the Lord had said when he was in charge of their soldiers.

"Outwardly, it is these great families and officials who oppress you."

"But at the root, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, this bastard system of rules and regulations is maintaining and conniving at these scourges that drain the bones and suck the marrow."

"Generations of fish and the last hope of stripping away you."

"The target of our rebel army is not just against the forces of a certain family and surname,"

"It's aimed at this world, this twisted and corrupt cannibalistic world!"

"Why is it reasonable and legal for the clan elder to squeeze the side branches?"

"Why can officials and powerful people abuse the law and do whatever they want to the common people?"

"Why do children from poor families try hard and hard, but they can only eat bran and eat thin,"

"But you must dedicate all that you have worked for generations to such noble people who sit and enjoy themselves without doing anything?"

"I still owe them a lot of debts, and I can't repay them by selling my sons and daughters."

"How can you say that such oppression and oppression is reasonable and legitimate, and it is the so-called Heavenly Principle and Heavenly Dao?"

"The so-called heavenly compensation average is to work for God to destroy this unfair way of the world, and to reform the self-proclaimed destiny and qi of the imperial court era."

"For the majority of the suffering people in the world, a way to live in peace and contentment,"

"When the final avalanche comes to the top of the mountain, no snowflake is innocent"

This is also known as the "Nine Questions of Heaven (Supplement) Ping (Even)", and with those storytellers who came out of the Raging Wind Camp and the seminar, it was widely circulated among the rebel soldiers. Although he only knew that it sounded very reasonable, it did not prevent his eager heart from flourishing.

He was thinking about all of this as he slowly squeezed through the gap in the crowd and approached the base of the wall of the Four Seasons Pavilion, where there was a good vantage point to observe the various people in and out of the market. Because, this Four Seasons Pavilion is a large pavilion in the sub-city near the direction of the port city, and the surrounding area is the gathering place of various inns, mansions, and inns, and it is also the key area of their surveillance and exploration this time.

It's just that before he could get close to his chosen position, he was suddenly squeezed aside by a group of people rushing on the street, and he almost didn't fall on his horse, and even the straw sandals under his feet were trampled off; I saw that the leader was dressed as a rebel leader with a sword on his back, and he was holding a small flag in his hand as a way to open the way; Behind him, more than a dozen people dressed as merchants looked like a group of merchants and child servants who had just entered Guangzhou.

It's just that when he squeezed over again to pick up the shoes, he suddenly stiffened; Because, just one of the stout men dressed as a porter just glanced at him, which made Wei Xiaopu'er's scalp tingle and he only felt that he had to stand up with no hair on his back, like a real dog with frightened fur, and he didn't even dare to pick up the fallen straw sandals, but hurriedly retreated to the corner of the wall to make a cowering appearance.

After all, as a beggar and pickpocket who has been on the street for a long time, he is the best at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. In daily life, through the means of subtle observation of words and colors, we can determine which are suitable goals, those that have no oil and water, those that have the risk of outweighing the losses, and those who cannot be offended.

After all, people who don't have this kind of vision have long since become corpses on the street because of various accidents; He had seen a former companion touch the bag of a ranger out of greed, and then he was slashed and killed in the alley by the other party who came back to him; Under the abuse and killing of the other party one after another, the blood was splashed all over the wall, and Wei Xiaopu, who was also hiding not far away and shivering, was so frightened that he was scared on the spot.

There was another elderly companion who took good care of him, who could not resist the temptation and stole a high-ranking official's figure; As a result, he picked it up afterwards, tied up the head of the group and personally sent it to the other party's Zhuangzi, and tore it alive with a dog and bit it to death on the spot.

And this time, the other party accidentally revealed that kind of evil aura that was not triggered, which also reminded Wei Xiaogou of the past; That gave him the illusion that he had a lot of lives in his hands and was already indifferent to life and death. A similar presence could only be seen in the barracks where he had been; This couldn't help but make Wei Xiaogou's heart suddenly lift, this may be the suspicious person he wants to find.

。。。。。。

This group of people came to the depths of the Four Seasons Pavilion complex, in a relatively clean courtyard; After carefully slapping the door and passing the slogan, he was opened to welcome in, and then the former Confucian official of the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, and now the merchant hall is in the East Zhoushen, and his brows are furrowed by all kinds of mixed smells.

He looked at the wine and meat that had been overturned all over the floor with some dissatisfaction, as well as the sturdy men who were lying in the room, and between them, several women with no skin were lying around, and they were already like corpses with no breath in and out.

"The wind in this city is getting tighter. The relationship and origin of the past are getting worse and harder. ”

Then he continued to be patient and whispered to these men.

"It's because you need to be a little restless... Continue to be patient and wait for the right moment. ”

"The investigation of the grass thieves is becoming stricter and stricter, and there are more and more rules and means, and many thieves and outlaws have lost their wind because of this."

And he still hasn't been able to point out the implication.

Since the grass thieves became more and more difficult to cure in Lingnan Road, and a series of measures to reopen the port and pretend to encourage trade and maritime trade, the attitude of those long-standing maritime merchants or giants in the city has undergone subtle changes, and the cooperation and funding that can be provided have become less and less, and they have even begun to disobey and even openly refuse some of his requests;

And these loyal people who are loyal to the imperial court, the underground environment that was originally a little like a fish in water and can move freely has become more and more difficult and difficult. After all, although there are all kinds of feuds and conflicts on the bright side, except for a few hardliners who have a deep hatred of the sea of blood, there are not many people who are willing to get along with the grass thieves and the wealth represented by maritime trade.

It's just that because of the unclear connections and origins involved in the past, as well as the last bit of prestige and luck of the imperial court; and with the heart of a rat bogey, he didn't tear the last bit of face.

Therefore, he is in a very bad mood now; Although it is said that the leader of the grass thieves who died under his command during this period of time is afraid that there are no double tens, and those who are seriously injured are even more so; However, the external situation is still deteriorating day by day, and the thieves are becoming more and more arrogant, and even the Guiguan and Huguan places that are still insisting on resistance have come to the bad news.

"So this time, the people from Annan must die here."

Zhou Shen finally cut the nail on the head.

"I have to wait, go all out and spare no time."

"I've already bought and spied on the other party's residence. At that time, there will be people who will make that guint to cooperate with your actions. ”
