The miserable whimpering sound echoed in front of the General Administration of Lian from time to time, and the fourth sister of the people's wife, Sun Shijie, knelt in front of Lord Yang of the General Administration of Lian and expressed her grievances. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Years of miserable suffering came to her heart, Fourth Sister Sun couldn't cry, she kowtowed "dong dong", and there were many blood marks on her forehead, just asking Lord Yang to make decisions for her.

She cried out: "My son, who is not yet six years old, was abducted by deception. People I know said that his hands and feet were broken, and he was begging at the Huai'an Tower, and a few of us rushed to see him, but he disappeared again...... My father-in-law sued these brutes, but he was convicted of false accusations and fell ill in the county jail. The father-in-law of my family was plotted by these beasts again, and he lay in bed for three months and vomited blood and died...... There is also my daughter, who was abducted again in the end, I inquired around, and said that I saw it in Qingjiangpu, one hand was broken, the other eye was blind, and God didn't have long eyes......"

Fourth Sister Sun whimpered and cried, beating her chest, crying and crying, her words were full of the heaviest pain, Yang He closed his eyes and sighed, the iron-armored guards behind him all showed extremely unbearable expressions, and some people were filled with righteous indignation.

The surrounding onlookers also had red eyes, and many of them shed tears. The people of Suining City have heard a lot about the matter of Fourth Sister Sun, but what she provoked was the green-skinned stick force. These green skins are all strong, and there are even bullies behind them, and they are backed by the public.

As long as ordinary people are touched, they will either die or be injured, and their families will be ruined, although they sympathize, but they dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Even many people have similar experiences, and they are bullied like Fourth Sister Sun. Uncle Ni, Uncle Zhang and other neighbors stood and watched, crying together, they had also been bullied and harassed by the green-skinned sticks, especially Uncle Zhang.

He held back his tears and thought, "If only Master Yang could cure these green skins." ”

In the end, after the fourth sister Sun finished crying, she lay on the ground and kowtowed hard: "Over the years, the little woman has begged for everything, but she has always complained that there is no way, and she only asks Lord Yang to be the master of the people's women." ”

She wailed, kowtowing harder, with a large area of blood and sand on her forehead, her expression was extremely desolate, and she had an indescribable expectation. Everyone looked at Yang He, and the three sticks were mixed in the crowd, and they were also looking at it in fear.

Yang He pondered for a while, and finally sighed: "This official is deeply sympathetic to your experience, but it's just ......"

He motioned to Chen Qiuao to bring ten taels of silver and said, "This matter is not within the scope of the official's authority, you can go to the county government to sound the drum." When I meet the county honor, I will also talk about it. You will take this money and subsidize your family a little. ”

Fourth Sister Sun looked at Chen Qiuao who came over, holding the silver in her hand, and motioned for her to take it, she was a little at a loss, she didn't want silver, she didn't want subsidies, she just wanted justice, she wanted retribution!

The people next to him also sighed, Lord Yang was benevolent and righteous, but it was a pity that this matter was not under his control, and some people sneered: "Sure enough, it is the officials who protect each other." ”

The three sticks showed a cold look on their faces, fortunately, it's okay, it seems that this Fourth Sister Sun is still comfortable, she should go back and talk about it.

Fourth Sister Sun was kneeling in a daze, her forehead was full of blood, her face was full of tears, she was depressed, could her hope be disappointed again?

Seeing that Lord Yang seemed to be pulling the horse to leave, her heart was torn apart, and suddenly she was blessed, and remembered what the noble man told her, she shouted loudly: "My lord, the little woman wants to report, the little woman wants to report......"

She pointed at the three sticks in the crowd and shouted, "They are thieves!" The little women had heard in the tea-houses that all the pimps in the city were deliberating, saying that if the thieves came, they would rise together and set fire to the people's houses. Among those people, there are these pickled dirty goods! ”

The surrounding onlookers were in an uproar, Yang He's expression was immediately solemn, and he said coldly: "What you said is true? ”

Fourth Sister Sun swore: "What the little woman said is true, many tea customers heard it at that time, and many neighbors can also testify." ”

Yang He looked at the three sticks fiercely, with a cold look in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Bring the three of them over and let the official ask." ”

All the people looked at it, and many of them showed expressions of schadenfreude and hatred, and the three sticks immediately turned pale as paper, and the cold hairs on their bodies were shivering.

The rabbit fell, the situation took a turn for the worse, and suddenly the charge of the thief fell on his head, and the three sticks instinctively shook their hands desperately, screaming and denying, in front of them was a figure who could defeat the thief of five thousand, if he was targeted, he was afraid that he would have to lose his skin if he did not die.

They can't afford it.

One person shouted even more fearfully: "Fourth Sister Sun, don't talk nonsense, we are all innocent people, how can we be thieves?" Adults, villains are wronged! ”

They tried their best to clear up the relationship, although they did say what Fourth Sister Sun said, but it was just their habit of taking advantage of the fire to rob, and they couldn't be said to be thieves because of this. This is really more wronged than Dou E, and it is a crime to talk about it?

However, the three armor guards had already gone up, all of them with thick cloaks, and the armor leaves on their bodies clanged as they went, and the sound of their steps was extremely heavy, and the long knives in their hands were slowly drawn out, little by little, with the cold metal light of death.

A soldier with a big stick in his hand, the front end of the iron-clad iron looks extremely heavy, and when he is smashed with a stick, his mind must be flowered.

They came over like this, and the indescribable pressure enveloped them, and they immediately gave people a feeling of suffocation.

The three sticks were full of horror, and they retreated again and again, they were just green skins on the streets, and they could be like wolves and tigers against the people, but against this kind of bloody battle array armor, they would be as helpless as weak chickens.

They screamed and defended, and even the two sticks could not bear the suffocating pressure, and screamed, and turned and fled behind.

There was a sudden explosion, thick gunsmoke filled the air, and a blood mist splashed behind a stick, and it fell to the ground like that. He rolled and howled hoarsely, and the blinding blood flowed from his body, and immediately sprinkled all over the ground, so shocking.

The surrounding people screamed, but they saw Yang Hece on the horse, holding a three-eyed flintlock handcuff in his hand, and one of the nozzles was still billowing with light smoke.

His eyes were cold, his thumb pulled down the hammer again, the barrel of the gun spun again, and the gun was aimed at another runaway stick screaming loudly.

Seeing that he was about to turn into another alley, he pulled the trigger, and there was another explosion, and more pungent gunpowder smoke filled the air.

A mist of blood also splashed behind the fleeing stick, and he screamed and threw himself on the ground, also rolling and screaming in pain.

The surrounding people shouted again, all frightened, and many of them were even more frightened and knelt down.

For these people, this kind of scene is too frightening.

However, many people are also very happy, and the retribution of these sticks has come.

Fourth Sister Sun was still kneeling in the middle of the street, her eyes were wide open, her heart was full of fear and joy, and a voice kept shouting in her heart: "My child, my father-in-law, have you seen it?" Revenge begins! ”

The rest of the stick was silent, and the fear filled his mind, and he just stepped back, his hands shaking desperately.

Chen Qiuao went up and punched him in the face hard, and immediately the stick rolled to the ground, his nose was covered with blood and dirt, and his mouth was screaming silently.

Another soldier stepped forward and kicked him in the lower abdomen, and immediately the stick spasmed in pain, and his whole eyes bulged out as hard as he could.

There was blood in his mouth, and he struggled and crawled, and he wanted to crawl away as hard as he could.

Another soldier stepped forward, and the big stick in his hand slammed down, and in the sound of leaking fractures, the stick screamed hoarsely, and one of his right feet had been broken, forming a strange twisted shape.

He was bleeding profusely, his face was extremely miserable, and he still wanted to crawl away, but Chen Qiuao stepped forward and grabbed his net towel and bun, and dragged him back from the dirt street.

The stick screamed miserably, and the blood that flowed from the broken leg spilled heart-palpitating traces on the street.

Yang He looked at it coldly, and he shouted: "Catch it and torture it!" ”

Soon the group returned to the General Administration of Practice, and the stick was dragged in by Chen Qiuao, and the fourth sister who complained about the people was brought in.

The rest of the people on West Street, passers-by still gathered to watch, all of them talked endlessly, they were all frightened, this is the majesty of Lord Yang of the General Administration of Lian, the rampant sticks in the market are not as weak as chickens in front of him.

They were talking, and many people were excited and apprehensive.

But everyone has a hunch that something big will happen in Suining County.

……

It seems that there is a sound of neat and vigorous footsteps running from the street outside, and someone is faintly announcing something, Gao Qifeng, the county magistrate, put down the teacup in confusion and listened carefully.

He listened carefully, and it seemed that his voice was clearer, and someone was shouting: "Close the four gates, catch the thieves!" ”

"Search carefully, don't let one go!"

Suddenly, there seemed to be a burst of firearms, Gao Qifeng stood up violently, his face was a little pale, what is going on, won't the thieves call?

Early this morning, he inspected the city defense again, and everything was in order with Lord Yang of the General Administration of Lian, and the moat and earthen wall defense outside the city were all completed.

It's just that the cup of hot tea hasn't been drunk yet, and there is such movement on the street, what is going on?

Fortunately, Master Tian hurriedly came, saying that there were righteous people who reported to the General Administration of Lian, and said that traces of thieves were found in the street market, and Lord Yang of the General Administration of Lian was leading the township to arrest and kill, and he sent Deng Menzi to inform him, saying that the matter would end soon, so that the county did not have to worry.

Gao Qifeng was slightly relieved, his eyes flashed with the face of Wei Kungang, and he said angrily: "What is the matter with this Wei Kungang?" The thieves don't even know that they are mixed in, they are really incompetent! ”

He slapped his palm on the desk next to him, and there was a kind of resentment that brought over his heart with new hatred and old hatred. Master Tian stood quietly, looking at him, Gao Qifeng suddenly felt a little uneasy, and he said softly: "Is there really a thief?" It can't be that Yang He made a mistake, right? ”

Master Tian said: "Probably not, the news from the General Administration of Lian, Fourth Sister Sun of the righteous people reported to Lord Yang, saying that there was a stick shouting in her teahouse. When the thieves attacked, they would set fire to the city and loot, and cooperate with the thieves outside the city. Lord Yang therefore suspected that these ploppy sticks were colluding with the thieves, and even mixed with the thieves' meticulous work. He also summoned many people, all of whom said this, especially the human resources certificates of the good people businessmen Liu Dayou and Hu Employment, so Lord Yang carried out arrest and interrogation. ”

Gao Qifeng said: "Hu Employment, the big shopkeeper of Chaotian Pot?" ”

Master Tian said: "Exactly." ”

Gao Qifeng sighed, this is not bad, he has also eaten Chaotian pot, this is a big restaurant in the city, the owner of the restaurant said this, it is very credible.

The merchant Liu Dayou is also a white family.

He snorted coldly: "The thieves are coming, because of their concerted efforts, these ploppy sticks turned out to be ...... It's more than innocent! ”

He slapped his palm on the desk next to him again, making the tea cup on it rattle.

As the magistrate of the county, Gao Qifeng and others' sources of wealth are mainly in terms of food and other aspects, and they are two parallel characters with the green-skinned sticks in the market.

What deals with them is mainly the officials and officials, and perhaps if Wei Kungang is "down-to-earth", he will also intersect with the people in the market.

As a county official, Gao Qifeng is actually difficult to manage the people in the market, and for his dignified Qipinzhi County, it doesn't matter whether the splashy sticks in the streets are dead or alive, but there is one point.

He pondered for a long time and said, "When the enemy comes, it's nothing if these green-skinned sticks are caught and killed. It's just that on the side of the Yang River, he should not disturb the people, typhoid fever will affect the hearts of the people, so that the thieves will have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

Master Tian said: "It shouldn't be, after the Xiangyong on the north bank was stationed in Suining, Lord Yang has always been very strict in this military discipline. ”

Gao Qifeng nodded, it is true that after the North Shore Township came bravely, they basically practiced in the barracks, as long as they didn't mess with them, they didn't bother to pay attention to the people outside, which was very provincial, and there were already people and gentry who praised the still benevolent and righteous teachers under the command of Lord Yang.

Then Master Tian said softly: "Lord Yang is searching the streets and alleys, can Wei Dianshi ...... over there?"

Gao Qifeng snorted coldly: "Arresting thieves and murderers is originally Wei Kungang's business. But look, the thieves have all been mixed in, and he still has the face to mention this? What an incompetence! ”

Speaking of this, Kochi County couldn't help but take a picture of the desk next to him, and let the tea cup on it beat again.

……

The streets and alleys in the north of Suining are winding and low, but there are many temples here, such as Taishan Temple, Zhenwu Temple, Guandi Temple, Grandma Temple, Horse God Temple and so on. The owners of several temples were missing, but they were seized by force and occupied by the swindlers of the city.

Some people in the temple are mostly beggar-like people, which is a typical beggar chasing the temple.

Then there is a dilapidated exterior near the Guandi Temple, but there is quite a cave in the courtyard, at this time inside and outside the lobby is noisy, set up some wine tables, some people of all kinds are bragging and chatting, drinking and playing horses.

The crowd was full of men and women, some in robes, some in strong suits, and some with weapons, and the sultry smell of wine and meat came out.

There are several dishes on a table in the middle, there are chicken, fish, pork, tofu and other dishes, two men are sitting opposite each other drinking, the first man has messy hair, he is in his fifties, short and stubby, his face is full of vertical and horizontal wrinkles, but he seems to have a bit of kind eyebrows.

He was wearing a shabby coat, but inside it was a piece of sauce silk, which looked nondescript.

The man sitting opposite him was in his forties, with a black and red face and a lean appearance.

There are dozens of people inside and outside the hall, but the two of them occupy a table alone, and it seems that the status of this group of people is not ordinary, but it is the head of the local fraud group Liang Wuye and his right-hand man Dong Baye.

The two were drinking, eating, and chatting about something, and there was a rather unique pole next to the fifth master, with a gourd-like paper pasted on it, and the words "Yiying brothers are not allowed to disturb" were written on the paper, showing the past background of the fifth master of the group, and he was a member of the beggar gang.

It is true that Liang Wuye joined the beggar gang before, and it was many years ago when he was fighting in Huai'an Mansion, and this pole was given to him by the local beggar.

Three hundred and sixty lines, the line of the champion, each line also has the rules of each line, to be a beggar, not just can do it casually, whether it is a beggar from other places, or a local beggar, must be subject to the management of the local beggar.

Beggars from other places who come to beg in the local area must also have a prayer post, and can beg in the area under the beggar's jurisdiction after visiting the beggar in person, the sign is this pole, and then most of the income is handed over, and the beggar must also be absolutely obedient, hard-working, and more similar to the relationship between master and servant.

And the beggar is a "lifelong occupation", the beggar will be replaced with a new beggar after his death, maybe the ordinary beggar has a hard time, but the beggars everywhere, all have the assets of a large family.

In the days of fighting in Huai'an City, he greatly broadened the horizons of Liang Wuye, because he was one of the "little ministers" of the local beggars, so he was quite valued, and he had all the skills and skills in all aspects, and finally learned a seven, seven, eighty, eight.

He has been doing this for more than ten years, but unfortunately the beggar died, and the new beggar was replaced later, not good for men, the fifth master of Liang was marginalized, and he was unwilling everywhere, so he thought about starting a new stove by himself.

The competition in Huai'an Mansion was fierce, and he ran to Pizhou, but he couldn't compete with the local beggars, and finally returned to his hometown, Suining.

Here, he has an inexplicable kinship with a certain catcher in the fast class, and because of this, he is tied up with a certain team leader, although a large part of the income has to be handed over, but it has also monopolized Suining's fraud industry, although it has been through ups and downs for many years, but it has been peaceful.

Dong Baye on the other side is the backbone he has brought up over the years, he can use a few fists and feet, he is very obedient, he can say flattering words, and he also has some small schemes.

At this time, the two of them were drinking together, and they were a little red-faced, and then Dong Baye said: "Fifth master, I went to Fucheng some time ago, and it was really an eye-opener." Some little beggars have strange hands and feet, how did they come out? I only know that I am blind and have my hands broken. ”

The fifth master of Liang still looked kind, and wrote lightly: "Oh, you said this, I have communicated with local counterparts, and once I drank wine, this is called harvesting and cutting, and I have to cut it with a knife and an axe, and some of it has to be cultivated in urns and pots......"

He shook his head and said: "It's not good, you have to have a good master, otherwise you will die at once, and I will learn from each other, and they will all die." Generally, low-level ones can only grow up with wires. ”

There was envy and jealousy in Dong Baye's eyes: "With this skill, you can eat for a lifetime...... Mother, a chicken servant, in order to make money, people nowadays have all kinds of strange methods, it's really crazy. ”

Liang Wuye said: "It's not, alas, you can't blame them, now the world is chaotic, business is not good, ordinary broken hands and feet, blind eyes, but you can't get money." ”

Dong Baye also hated and said: "That is, people nowadays are becoming less and less sympathetic, it is really unancient, and the world is declining." ”

Liang Wuye said: "Now in the world, hundreds of thousands of dead people, I have seen a lot, what is it to break my hands and feet?" ”

He said: "Especially in a small place like ours, it is not easy, and we have to expand the industry. This time, the brothers and sisters got together, just to think about how to go to Pizhou more. ”

Dong Baye's face was also worried, after all, in a small county, they can't deceive and kidnap young children and girls frequently, otherwise it will attract attention. Just like the matter of Fourth Sister Sun back then, a lot of money was spent on the upper and lower points. Therefore, in recent years, their strategy of fraud is to develop business in multiple fields.

Now seeing what good goods and children are just one of the businesses, their groups, more to the economic field, cultural field, such as selling and manufacturing counterfeit drugs, selling fake wine, forging cultural relics, antiques, fabricating genealogies, etc., recently I am still thinking about whether I can engage in fake silver and fake money.

It's just inevitable that when they want to go out, they have clashed with gangs in Pizhou, Suqian and other places.

So today, the five masters of Liang recruited all their brothers and sisters, and had a dinner in the old nest, which was also brainstorming, how to go out.

Liang Wuye finally drank the wine in the cup, and the wine power surged, and there was a feeling of fluttering immortals, this kind of day, comfortable!

I also sighed in my heart, a manly man, I still have to go out to see the world more, what will be the interest of digging in the soil?

No, I learned the skills to return to my hometown, and over the years, I have also mixed up a career.

He stood up and picked up the pole next to him, although he was no longer in the beggar gang, but he still carried the pole with him for many years.

This also shows that he has not forgotten his roots, and when the heroes of the rivers and lakes see it, who should not be called: "Fifth Master Liang, love and righteousness?" ”

He held a token pole, as majestic as holding a battle of power, and Dong Baye was also busy following behind him.

Walking to the front of the hall, the people in the hall also stopped bragging and drinking, all of them were red-faced, and they all respectfully seemed that the fifth master was going to speak.

Liang Wuye coughed lightly, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard the sound of roaring footsteps outside, and arrived at the gate in a blink of an eye.

Liang Wuye was a little surprised, he didn't understand what was happening, after all, if there was any trouble, someone would greet him in advance, ventilate something, and before he could react, the courtyard door was knocked open, and then more than a dozen round, black things were thrown in.

When these things flew in mid-air, it seemed that the leads on them were still sparkling.
