The chief of the ground did not dare to raise his head and even dare not breathe, and the hierarchy among the people of the Japanese country was even stricter, and the government was high, which caused huge psychological pressure on these low-level Japanese people, and this fear of the oppression and accumulation of generations in the hearts of these people made them not even dare to resist.

"Are there frequent robber raids in your village?"

The lieutenant chief's body trembled violently, and then he collapsed directly to the ground, and a strong man immediately came out next to him, like a chicken, and slipped the lieutenant chief on the ground up, and shouted loudly in his ear: "Say! If you don't say it, die! ”

The chief felt that there was liquid flowing out of his crotch, and his eyes were a little frightened, and he wanted to struggle but found that the strong man next to him let go of his hand and fell to the ground, his eyes were full of horror.

"Do you still want to deny it?"

Zhen Qian sat behind a long table, and immediately a widow brought wine and food to spread the entire table, and then waved his hand gently, and immediately someone pressed the half-frightened Li Chang to the opposite side of the crime.

"Say it! Tell me everything you know", Zhen Qian pointed to the food in front of him and said: "You have two ways to choose, one is to cooperate with the official to lure the robbers out, and the other is stubborn to the end and is shown to the public by the official, choose!" ”

The chief's mind was already in a mess, how did the secret of the village let the person in front of him know, impossible! I did it very secretively, it stands to reason that no one will know, is it because someone can't tell the truth, thinking of this, the face of the chief is already a dead ash.

I'm afraid it is difficult for others to know that there is a big mountain less than ten miles away from this village, called Fengming Mountain, and in the wind Mingshan there is a group of extremely ferocious bandits, which is the strongest group in this area of Saga Town, and every year the nearby villages have to pay a lot of tribute to this group of robbers in order to get peace, otherwise they will be killed by this gang of robbers.

The leader of this gang of robbers is named Black Tiger, but no one knows that he should actually be called Akiba Black Tiger, it is the nephew of this chief Akiba Kazuo, on the surface, Akiba Kazuo also pays a lot of tribute to Black Tiger every year, but secretly they collude with each other to report ...... Black Tiger.

Autumn leaves Kazuo disguised very well, if it weren't for the chance of Zhen Gan really couldn't find out, after hearing that Zhen Qian was going to Fengming Mountain, a widow who was inadvertently saved by himself told Zhen Qian that when he once ran to Fengming Mountain to secretly fish for golden sands, he overheard that the robbers who occupied Fengming Mountain were called Autumn Leaves Black Tiger, and he also told a lot of things about this gang of robbers, and Zhen Qian didn't care too much about it at that time.

But when Zhen Qian learned that the chief of this village was also called Akiba, he immediately became vigilant, and few of the widows in this era had their own names, and immediately thought that this lieutenant chief would have something to do with this gang of robbers, so he was ready to blackmail this lieutenant chief, but this Akiba Kazuo was immediately exposed.

After getting Zhen Qian's hint, Yamamoto Fifty-six beside him had quietly led someone into the chief's house.

"Sir, spare your life! The villain said everything, just begging the lord to spare the villain's life? Kazuo Akiba's eyes rolled around, crawled on the ground and kept kowtowing: "The villain does know the leader of this gang of robbers, but he really didn't fight with them for the tiger, it was all done by the black tiger forcing the villain, the villain's family of eight plus more than 200 people in the village can only obey the command of this gang of robbers, and ask the lord to investigate?" ”

"Really?"

Zhen Qian looked at Kazuo Akiba on the ground with a smile, naturally he wouldn't believe his words, and he didn't have the time to grind his teeth with these people, the first stop in Saga Town this time was Fengming Mountain, Fengming Mountain is a gold mine, and many nearby villagers went into the mountains to secretly collect golden sands, and their arrival will definitely touch the interests of these people, especially the black tiger who has been collecting protection money, which is Zhen Qian's target.

"I heard that there are many people in your village who have entered Fengming Mountain to collect golden sand, but is there such a thing?"

"Wronged!" Kazuo Akiba lay on the ground and cried: "Lord Mingcha, the people in the village are all forced by that gang of robbers, if they don't pay money, they will be wiped out, so they have to go into the mountains to collect some golden sands, all for their lives!" ”

"So the official has wronged you?"

Zhen Qian and Kazuo Akiba are grinding their teeth, in fact, they can't deal with Kazuo Akiba at all, they can kill the Japanese who stopped the robbery, and they can buy the Japanese with food, but they can't punish an ordinary Japanese at will, if they really want to do this, it will touch the bottom line of Fujiwara Brush's rule, but if you can catch the evidence of Kazuo Akiba, it will be completely different.

"Lord Mingjian!"

Kazuo Akiba is very cunning, knowing that he will admit it, it is a capital crime to fornicate with robbers, but if he is forced by robbers, it will be completely different, this reason is too clear.

"Whoa!"

A figure appeared next to Kazuo Akiba, carrying a large wooden box in his hand, and placed it on the table with a "bang", making a very heavy sound.

"Sir! This wooden box was dug in the ground of Kazuo Akiba's room? Yamamoto opened the wooden box, and inside was a small cloth bag, and around the small cloth bag there were dark yellow natural gold nuggets of different shapes.

"Doghead Gold!"

Zhen Qian's gaze swept over the wooden box, and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "So much gold, can you explain their origin to this official, if you don't want to say it now, I believe that the guards in Songpu City will be very happy to torture you personally?" ”

When Kazuo Akiba saw the wooden box, his whole body felt as if someone had broken his spine and he went limp, and a pair of dry hands held his head and said in pain: "It's over, it's all over!" ”

"Say it! You still have a chance to atone for your sins, and the official guarantees that your relatives will not be beheaded, which can be regarded as leaving a trace of incense for your Akiba family, if you continue to be stubborn, the fall of the Akiba family is just around the corner! ”

"Can you really leave a trace of incense for the Akiba family?" Autumn leaves see a glimmer of hope in their despair.

"You can choose to believe in cooperating with this official, or you can choose not to believe it, gamble with your whole family's life, you have a stick of incense to think about it carefully, this official doesn't have much patience?" Zhen Qian drank cold fruit wine, enjoyed the delicious barbecue, and looked at Kazuo Akiba, who was struggling in his heart, with a faint smile on his lips.

"How does the lord want me to cooperate?" Kazuo Akiba didn't have a choice at all, just hesitated for a moment, and squeezed out a sentence with difficulty.

Zhen Qian pushed a plate of barbecue meat in front of Kazuo Akiba, poured another glass of wine for Kazuo Akiba and said: "This official likes to deal with smart people, the purpose of this official to Saga Town this time is to go to the gold mine of Fengming Mountain, and found that the gold mine was occupied by a group of robbers, and the official had no choice but to exterminate this gang of robbers, you send someone to lead the black tiger down the mountain, the official wants to kill the black tiger by surprise, after the matter is completed, the official will leave a trace of blood for your Akiba family to send overseas, are you willing to completely between your thoughts?" ”
