Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Family of Officials and Bandits
(There are a lot of official duties these days, and the update has been delayed, please forgive me, brothers!) Thanks a lot! )
——
I came out this time because I wanted to make more friends in the rivers and lakes, and I didn't want to cause trouble everywhere. In today's world, more things are better than less.
A few years later, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan were the most chaotic places in the world. Maybe the person you accidentally meet on the street now is the one who was strong in the local area and the anti-king who exposed the rod.
If you have some ideas, or want to achieve great things, then you must not make too many enemies.
"Many friends, many roads, multiple enemies, many walls", I don't want Yang Guang to die at that time, and the eighteenth road anti-king will join forces to deal with him.
What is the origin of the Lu family brothers, it is not clear. But if you can run from Yuhang in the south of the Yangtze River to Dong'e in Shandong, and you can rob merchant ships on the Yellow River with a swagger, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary characters.
Qin Yong lowered his head and smiled secretly just now, he was seen clearly, this Qin Yong is definitely not as simple as it seems on the outside, it seems that Cheng Yanjin likes to compete with others, and his fiery temper has been thoroughly used.
Didn't they all say: If you see through it or not, life will be better? I don't want to break it, after all, Cheng Yanjin and Qin Yong have known each other for a long time, and they have only known other people for a few days?
It's a big deal to go with him, help him keep an eye on his opponent in private, and don't let Cheng Yanjin suffer a dark loss.
Cheng Yanjin glanced at Qin Yong, who bowed his head and was silent, and then asked, "Do you know where the Lu family brothers live?" ”
Qin Yong nodded: "In this section of the Yellow River passing through Dong'e, those who eat waterway meals live in Hukou Pass." Since the Lu brothers came, they subdued those water rats, and all those who were not convinced sank into the river.
Then he led people to build a wall in Hukou Pass, and ate and lived together. I heard that they often practice, but they are very wary and are generally not allowed to enter, so no one knows whether it is true or not. ”
"Huh?" Cheng Yanjin was a little surprised: "So, the two of them still pulled up a group of people?" ”
Originally, I thought that the Lu brothers were the kind of water lice that went alone, but I didn't expect to pull up the team and occupy the tiger's mouth.
Cheng Biting Jin scratched his head, a little nerve-wracking.
I tried to compete with Mai Tiedan in front of me, and I lost a mess. I heard that someone could hurt Qin Yong, so my hands were itchy for a while, and I wanted to find someone to practice my hands and come back with some face.
I didn't expect to say that I was going to find someone to compete, but I heard that they were already a gang of strongmen who occupied the territory.
To put it nicely, Cheng Biting Jin is going to learn martial arts. It's not good, that is, you have to pick someone's battlement, and this matter is a bit big.
Cheng Yanjin is a big local family with a business, and opposite him is an outlaw with his head pinned to his trouser belt.
Now the world is generally stable, but no one wants to easily offend a gang of organized ruffians and hooligans.
Although they don't dare to blatantly kill and set fire to them now, they can't stand it when they stumble on you from time to time.
Lai Cheng was a little curious when he heard this, and raised his head and asked Qin Yong: "With such a group of water bandits camping in a bright and shaky manner, don't the people from the Dong'e County Government not ask?" ”
Qin Yong sighed: "Alas, the second eldest of the Lu family married a daughter-in-law, and she is the sister-in-law of the third lady of Ling Ji in Dong'e County, and the two families have become brothers-in-law.
Ji's son, Monsoon Ji Muyuan, is now mixed with those water rats every day. I heard that the Lu brothers robbed the money, and there were three CDs that were honored to the quarter.
In this case, as long as they do things on the water and do clean hands and feet, how can the pickled people in the county government care about them.
Maybe the county government would like the Lu brothers to do it bigger, so that the filial piety will be more abundant for them. ”
"Tsk~" to smack his lips: "Speaking of which, this Lu family brother is really a talent." ”
"Alas~, it's the poor people who eat on the water." Qin Yong let out another long sigh.
Lai touched his bare chin and didn't speak for a long time.
This matter is beyond the scope of Laiquan's ability to suppress, if it is just a few water bandits, a few people here will be destroyed with their strong martial arts, and the big deal is to use their means to kill people and destroy corpses.
I don't think anyone will redress their grievances for their gang of bandits.
But now it seems that the other party is not only a matter of his own evil, but also the collusion of officials and bandits, and the sons of the county commander are all mixed with the Lu brothers all day long. If this is injured and killed, how can that quarter be reconciled.
At that time, not only will Cheng Yanjin, who lives in Dong'a, be implicated, but even if he returns to Luoyang City, he will inevitably be pulled out by the imperial historian, and the Duke of Rongguo will be guilty of not being strict with his godson.
If the matter is used by the Yuwen family, who has been dealing with it, it is impossible to say that they can drive Lai Hu'er home to see the child.
A local wealthy family like Cheng Yanjin, who has no one in the court, can directly confiscate his family property and be exiled for 3,000 miles.
I don't want to make things out of control because of trivial things, Cheng Biting Jin is just impulsive, but he is not a reckless person with a brain full of mush. The two men looked at each other and stopped talking.
Qin Yong looked at Cheng Biting Jin, then looked at Lai Quan, and gritted his teeth: "Brother Cheng, the people around are suffering from being tossed by the water bandits, everyone has raised 100,000 yuan as a reward, whoever can drive the Lu family brothers away, this money is theirs." ”
Xu Shiyun suddenly interjected: "Of course, it's a good thing to have money, I'm afraid that if you have money, you won't have to spend it." ”
Qin Yongyan was annoyed when he heard this: "What is this saying?" Could it be that I want to harm Brother Cheng? ”
Xu Shiyun poured himself a glass of water and wine, tasted it slowly, but no longer paid attention to Qin Yong.
Cheng Biting Jin pressed his hand on Qin: "Brother Qin, don't be angry, Brother Xu is right." My old Cheng just wanted to learn martial arts with the Lu brothers, but he didn't want to go to the battlements of others.
You also know that a master like us, who has a family and a business, has never provoked passing stars, not daring, but not worth it.
People can't beat them and run away, but we have nowhere to go. It is better to take a long-term view of this matter. ”
Qin Yong nodded helplessly: "What Brother Cheng said is reasonable, but we can't watch them bully their neighbors, just don't ask." ”
"I Lao Cheng came to your land, and I happened to encounter this kind of thing, so I will definitely not stand idly by. I won't drink this wine for now, and I'll discuss it with my brother and see if there's any other way. ”
When this happens, the wine will be tasteless, and it is better not to drink it. Cheng Yanjin put down the wine bowl in his hand and grabbed it: "Let's go, go to my room to talk." ”
Qin Yong was helpless, and hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to take the two of them to the guest room without mentioning it.
Xu Shiyun also grabbed Mai Tiedan, who was eating and drinking, and didn't listen to anything outside his body, and got up to leave.
