Chapter 121: Martial Arts Conference
"Good name, I see that although Brother Wang is young, but the momentum is extraordinary, now a martial arts conference is being held in Henan County, inviting all the world's masters to gather in Songshan, it is better for us to go to Songshan together, and become famous is just around the corner."
"Martial Arts Conference?"
Liu Yuetian moved slightly, and then used the penetration effect on this Hei Ming, and in an instant, everything that the other party knew in his heart was fully grasped by him.
"This guy is really a bully!"
This Jiangjiao gang is just a small gang, they were originally a group of ferrymen, Mengjin Ferry is the only ferry within a radius of 100 miles, the ferry business is very prosperous, you fight for me to rob things naturally happen often, this Hei Ming relied on daring to fight and dare to kill a group of people, and all the people who disobeyed themselves and occupied the ferry business of Mengjin Ferry, and they often charge the so-called protection fee to the surrounding merchants, some people do not give it directly to rob, and it is useless to sue the official, because they have to give the local government a large sum of silver every year, The two sides are in collusion and have no regard for the people.
"Alas, the world is in chaos, order is broken, the underworld and the government collude, and it is only the common people who will suffer!"
Liu Yuetian sighed in his heart, don't talk about this Meng Jin, isn't it the same as Tianshui at the beginning? There is no way, unless all of this is overturned and order is restored.
Liu Yuetian didn't have the ability to take care of these things, and what caught his attention was the so-called martial arts conference.
Hei Ming doesn't know much about this martial arts conference, after all, this Jiangjiao gang is just a small gang with dozens of people, but this martial arts conference has spread in the rivers and lakes, saying that a group of top masters occupy Songshan and want to establish a gang, he invited the leaders of various sects on the rivers and lakes to gather in the mountains to witness the establishment of the sect, and the conference will be held in five days, this is all Hei Ming knows.
"Martial arts conference? I'm going to check it out! ”
Liu Yuetian was interested, he didn't know anything about the rivers and lakes, anyway, he didn't have anything else, so Songshan was only a few hundred miles away, and five days was enough time to arrive.
"Big Brother Hei, I've also heard about this martial arts conference, but this trip is a major event of my Beast Taming Gate, and there are elders in my sect in front of me who will pick me up, so I can't go with Big Brother, when I see Zu Taishou, how about handing over these war horses to him and drinking with you?"
Liu Yuetian said politely, this kind of land snake can't be offended casually, otherwise it won't even be able to cross the Yellow River.
"Oh! Okay, it's really a pleasure to meet Brother Wang today, then I won't keep a few more, Lao Du, you immediately find a boat and send Brother Wang and them across the river! ”
Hei Ming commanded.
"Big Brother Hei, just now my fierce horse injured a few brothers, so let's do it, line three, the fifty taels of silver will treat a few brothers."
This Hei Ming was very polite to himself, but those men were very resentful on their faces, and if they did something on the ship, it would be very bad for themselves.
"Haha, you're polite, Brother Wang is polite!"
Hei Ming was not polite, and directly took the money and put it in his pocket.
"Lao Du, you go find a big boat, remember, send Brother Wang safely across the river for me!"
The silver is really powerful, and this Hei Ming immediately beckoned his subordinates again.
Everyone got on a ferry, this ferry boat is very large, can ferry more than 30 people at a time, the three captains shouted and pulled the anchor and set sail, along the river towards the opposite bank, the ferry swayed with the river up and down, sometimes snatching the surging undercurrent, sometimes avoiding the giant trees floating down from the upstream, the river hundreds of zhang wide also took a quarter of an hour to come to the opposite bank.
When they arrived on the shore, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, this Yellow River is notorious, if it falls, even if it is proficient in water, it will be swallowed up by the undercurrent.
"Three boatmen, this money will give you some small bars!"
Liu Yuetian asked Zhang Xingsan to give each of them a tael of silver, and the three of them were so frightened that they waved their hands again and again.
"This is what the black master ordered, we don't dare to accept the money of several masters, don't dare, don't dare!"
Liu Yuetian also saw that Hei Ming had a black heart, but these men were all simple people, and they had watched the ferry all their lives, but half of the hard-earned money had to be handed over to Hei Ming.
When today's harsh government is harsh, and the peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky are at least half of their grain collected by the government in a year, and the same is true for these small merchants and hawkers, and even worse, because they are not only taxed by the government, but also bullied by bullies like Hei Ming, it is no wonder that those weak people in Tianshui dare to stand up and support themselves, it is really unbearable, once they see hope, they will burn like a fire.
"Three boatmen, I don't know that Hei Ming, so you don't need to be afraid of me, you can quietly accept this silver, no one will know, Hei Ming has done a lot of evil, and it won't be long before someone will punish him!"
Liu Yuetian put the silver in the other party's arms and turned to leave, the three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and secretly put the silver into ......... arms.
"Lord, this Hedong County is already the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it is only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an, and it stands to reason that it is also the center of the world, but along the way, we see beggars and homeless people, and selling children and daughters can be seen everywhere, alas, their lives are more bitter than the people of Tianshui!"
Zhang Xingsan's guards were all from poor backgrounds, and they also felt the same when they saw the hard life of the people.
"That's right, there is a big drought in Chang'an this year, and many places have not harvested grains, plus those guys in Liangji are rampant, where do they care about the lives and deaths of the people? This is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, and the people will not wait for when? ”
Looking at this tragic scene, Liu Yuetian was also angry.
"Yes! I think that only when you become the emperor can you become better in this world, and our people will be saved......! ”
"Line three, everyone, you have to remember that this world is the world of the people, and only when the people say it will they really be the masters of the house, and this emperor is actually the source of the people's suffering......!"
They didn't understand Liu Yuetian's words, they only knew that as long as they followed Liu Yuetian, they would have a good life......
The group headed towards Songshan.
Songshan is a famous mountain in the Central Plains, covering an area of nearly 1,000 miles, and is close to Luoyang, the largest city in Henan County, which is also the place where the ancestors lived.
Along the way, the mountains are undulating, sometimes majestic and magnificent; Sometimes the jade stands beautiful, such a scene naturally attracts countless people to yearn for, Songshan has a reputation since ancient times, for thousands of years, I don't know how many celebrities and wise men have left footprints in the mountain, and now the mountains are also full of ancient temples and pavilions, there are many ancient people who left the ink treasure on the mountain stone, let the descendants evaluate and mourn.
There is no shortage of people living in the famous mountains and rivers, the same is true of this Songshan, into the Songshan boundary, that is, to Henan County, the pedestrians who come and go are very different from Hedong County, from the dress can be seen to be a lot richer than other places, of course, there are many people who flee from other places, but even beggars, in Henan County can ask for a lot of money.
And at the foot of Songshan Mountain, this situation is a change, most of the residents here are residents under the mountain, the so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, there is a famous mountain shelter, this rain is more lush than other places, tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land under the mountain can feed the life of hundreds of thousands of people, so the life of the people within dozens of miles at the foot of Songshan Mountain is very rich, people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone is full of smiles.
