Chapter 5: Bandits Blocking the Way
Yang Xiuqing looked at the clear mountains and green waters, and her heart was always troubled by the letter she received the day before yesterday.
Just the day before yesterday, the people he sent to the state city sent back the news that the bandits in Jitou Mountain may have something to do with the Xiao family, because the housekeeper of the prefect's house hooked up with Xiao Yong and was non-condensate, and the news was learned from the butler's henchmen.
Xiao Yong hooked up with the housekeeper and calculated himself, and he Yang Xiuqing was very sure of this. He was thinking about the relationship between the housekeeper and the Xiao family and the prefect.
Although he got the news that the prefect was a clean official, he didn't think that what a housekeeper did, he wouldn't know, let alone that the prefect's life was so extravagant, if it wasn't for greed, how could he have such a life.
"Master, what impression do you have of that prefect?"
"Well, Yinxiang, if it weren't for Yang Gongzi's relationship with him, I wouldn't be close to such a person who eats people and doesn't spit out bones."
Jin Dafu said with a wry smile, Yang Xiuqing knew that there must be some secrets here, he looked at Jin Dafu with beautiful eyes, and he expected Jin Dafu to talk more.
"Hey, the year before last, the county lord had instructed a certain to find the prefect with sincerity, but after seeing his classmates and friends promoted one by one, the county lord was unwilling, but I knew that this time, compared with the prefect, Long Yihua is really a clean official. Those salt merchants, rice merchants, etc. have shares with them, and they have nothing to do with the housekeeper of their mansions. He even indulged his family to occupy countless fertile land, and took advantage of the disaster year to sell the people's farmland at a low price, causing countless people to starve to death on the streets. ”
Listen, Yang Xiuqing has seen the darkness of feudal society again, and he really has the idea of picking up a knife to cut people in his heart.
However, after hearing the words in the carriage, Yang Xiuqing's family said something that Yang Xiuqing didn't care.
"Young master, that's the money they gave less, the old man went with the gold of the beautiful woman, and the old man said that this kind of pig can only be charged with money, and even his wife can be a maid ring for others."
"How do you know?" Yang Xiuqing felt a burst of guilt.
"The master took us there at the time, we don't know." When Yang Xiuqing heard this, he really felt a little contemplative in his heart, how could he be deceived by others at that time.
But the two of them seemed to know that their young master would ask.
"Young master, don't blame us, you were a little angry at that time, and you didn't believe what we and Boss Zhu said, those old guys said at that time that they wanted to make the young master suffer, otherwise they would suffer a big loss in the end."
"What's going on, tell me about it."
"I don't know, young master, don't ask more, you'll know later."
In the end, Yang Xiuqing couldn't figure out what was going on with his cheap grandfather, but the master next to him was shocked when he heard it, and he believed that Yang Xiuqing had something to do with the prefect.
As soon as Yang Xiuqing entered a detour in the valley, more than 100 people immediately appeared on the hills on both sides, but the road ahead was blocked by a bunch of debris.
"Young master, we have been treated as a snack by others." As soon as the family finished speaking, a voice came from outside.
"The children of the Yang family inside, get out of the car, we have an invite."
"Damn, it's a thief from Jitou Mountain, young master be careful, the master will be defeated in his hands. As long as we work hard, wait a while, the young master will untie the carriage and ride away, this horse is a good horse, fortunately, Boss Zhu has foresight, your horse may be able to run away. ”
Hearing this, Yang Xiuqing touched his arms, there was a musket there, and he also felt strange, this era is not the historical process of the previous life, but it is different after the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, anyway, the dynasty named Wu at this time has developed to some point and has a musket.
"Young master, don't be in a daze, those thieves are coming, get out of the car quickly, let's stop for a while, otherwise the young master will follow in the footsteps of the master."
"Young Master Yang, don't you leave me alone......."
"It's late, and they're all around." Just as Jin Dafu was crying, those bandits surrounded Yang Xiuqing, and Yang Xiuqing took a deep breath: "Get out of the car, listen to my orders, don't mess around." ”
Yang Xiuqing walked over, he looked at those stout people with a wicked smile, he wanted to take out the musket and do it with one shot, but he knew that this musket was loaded with one shot, but he didn't see the bow and arrow, and he felt a little relieved in his heart.
"Which of you is in charge, stand up and show the master." Yang Xiuqing didn't wait for them to get closer, he opened his mouth and screamed.
"Ha, ha, look, the boy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he is dying, and he dares to shout here." A big man with only one eye laughed wildly and pointed at Yang Xiuqing.
Yang Xiuqing looked over, he knew that as long as he took down the leader, he would have a chance to escape, otherwise he would really be here, he didn't even have to think about it at this time, it must have something to do with the Xiao family.
"Well, if the master is a vegetarian, I know you are the leader, I don't know what the name is, I don't kill the nameless person, report the name, let me know, I killed the kitten and the puppy."
"I decided, this kid suits my taste, before handing it over to the boss, I want to try it first." As soon as these words came out, the people around him laughed obscenely, Yang Xiuqing is a modern person, so he doesn't know the meaning of these words, his face is pale at this time, and at this time he would rather die than fall into his hands.
"Come here, see if I can beat you to death." Yang Xiuqing touched his arms, he felt a little relieved in his heart, but the family next to him approached Yang Xiuqing and said softly.
"Young master, at this time, you can only find a chance to escape, I see that there are only a dozen people on the back road, and they are all holding sticks and no knives, I think you can break through on horseback, and we will kill you later, young master, you take advantage of the chaos to leave, we can only do our best."
The thieves in front of him laughed even louder, but their feet kept coming.
"Boy, I'm here, you kill, you little white face, don't worry, I'll hurt you." The one-eyed man walked over quickly, and Yang Xiuqing also greeted him.
"When I hurt the one-eyed dragon, you will come close and get him at once, and we will make the way for him." Without waiting for the people to respond, Yang Xiuqing had already greeted him.
"Bump." With a bang, everyone around looked at Yang Xiuqing with some horror and took out a short stick-like thing, but the one-eyed man fell to the ground and hugged his thighs and shouted.
"Ah, my feet, ......."
In an instant, Yang Xiuqing and the two family members reacted, and they ran over quickly, and before those thieves could make a move, the one-eyed man had already been tied up.
Yang Xiuqing breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to stand next to the house, Jin Dafu looked at Yang Xiuqing dumbfounded, others don't know, but he knows what this is, this is a firearm, but he also knows what firearms are about, so he is still a little afraid.
Yang Xiuqing pulled up the tiger skin.
"Don't move, do you know what it is? This is a firearm, whoever moves, I will hit whomever it is, this time it is not this one-eyed dragon that kicks, I hit him in the head. “
Do they know what the musket is, Yang Xiuqing can only gamble, anyway, he can still use the one-eyed dragon to open the way.
