In order to attract the attention of Zhengde and the cabinet, Zhou Chong lied that Liu Liu and Liu Qi had a connection with Yang Hu in Shandong, but in fact, this was just made up by him, and he didn't know whether Liu Liu Liu and Yang Hu had any contact in advance.

In fact, Liu Liu, Liu Qi, Qi Yanming and others knew Yang Hu many years ago, and the friendship of several people was not bad, so Yang Hu couldn't wait to rush to Bazhou to meet them after hearing the news of Liu Liu's rebellion. And the reason why Yang Hu knows Qi Yanming and others, this matter is more complicated, we need to introduce Yang Hu first.

Yang Hu is actually a person near the capital, and his hometown is not far from Bazhou, the family is also burdened by Ma Zheng, his parents also died early, and only Yang Hu and his two younger brothers are left in the family, which makes Yang Hu bear the burden of supporting his family early, but just by renting the fields of large families, he can't even eat a full meal every day.

That is to say, Yang Hu and Liu Liu, Liu Qi and others were all peers before, but they did not belong to the same Xiangma, and later when robbing a large family, Liu Liu Liu Qi cooperated with Yang Hu's Xiangma team, so they got acquainted with several people, and later they often contacted, and even cooperated in robbing a few times.

Don't look at the lawlessness of burning, killing and looting on the surface, but in fact, most of the people they loot are ordinary rich families, as for those with deep backgrounds, such as some families with officials in their families, they generally don't move. After all, after robbing this kind of family. It is likely to attract a vigorous encirclement and suppression by the government. Therefore, before the robbery, Hibiki will inquire about the background of the target's family, so as not to cause trouble for himself.

However, then Yang Hu's Xiangma team was planted in this matter, in a robbery, Yang Hu's Xiangma team did not figure out the origin of the other party, and when they killed people and got the money, they knew that the robbed family had a daughter who married the son of a second-class official in my dynasty. happened to go home to save relatives that day, and what was even worse was that the other party was still pregnant with a six- or seven-month-old baby boy in his belly, and he was also killed by them.

When the news reached the capital, the second-rank senior who wanted to hold his grandson was so angry that he cried bitterly, and on the same day he went to the cabinet to cry to Li Dongyang and others, and participated in the dereliction of duty of the government in the southern part of Beijing, causing local bandits to run rampant and his family members also suffered.

Needless to say, the imperial court also attached great importance to this matter. Immediately ordered the county government in the southern area to solve the case, and at the same time the army to eliminate the bandits. In addition, Yang Hu's Xiangma team became the focus of the government's encirclement and suppression, as a result, they could only hide in Tibet all day long, and they didn't even dare to enter the village.

However, these rebellions of Yang Hu and others did not have much impact, the imperial court did not even send the Beijing camp to go, relying on the local guards alone to kill Yang Hu and others, Yang Hu and several other leaders also fled to death, among which Yang Hu was lucky, with a group of people fled to the border of Shandong, where he occupied the mountain as the king, although he still waved the banner of rebellion, but in fact it was a gang of bandits. And because the nest they occupy is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the officers and soldiers have failed to defeat it after several attacks, and they will let Yang Hu occupy the mountain as the king at the very end.

Qi Yanming was desperate, thinking of the letter Yang Hu wrote to Liu Liu and Liu Qi, and thinking of the friendship between the two at the beginning, which made him finally make a decision, that is, to go to Shandong to seek refuge in Yang Hu, and then look for an opportunity to make a comeback.

After having a goal in mind, Qi Yanming also cheered up all of a sudden, rested in the broken temple for a few days, and waited until the arrow wound on his leg was almost healed, and then left here to prepare to go to Shandong.

However, when Qi Yanming left the broken temple, he found that the government wanted him very tightly, not only the towns were plastered with the graphics of wanted notices, but even some villages also hung portraits of him who wanted him, and the silver reward alone was opened to two thousand taels, it can be said that if he can be caught, he can immediately make people rich overnight, so many people who are hungry for profit are trying to find his traces.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Yanming found that he was almost unable to move an inch, and most of the checkpoints encountered on the road were also set up to arrest him, once he was even recognized, and the other party shouted loudly, and the result was that he was chased by more than a dozen half-year men, fortunately, he was extraordinary in martial arts, so he finally escaped, and since then, Qi Yanming has never dared to appear in a crowded place.

Because some traffic arteries are set up checkpoints, Qi Yanming can only go into the mountains to go around in circles, and even after a few times he has made great efforts to bypass the checkpoints, but he finds that there are still officers and soldiers in front of him, which makes him have to go back the same way, and then try another way, but after the worst, he turned around in the mountains for many days, but still could not leave the border of Bazhou.

On this day, Qi Yanming came to a place called Shizui Cliff, because one of the mountains here resembles a human lip, so it was named Shizui Cliff, as long as he crossed this mountain, then even if he was out of the boundary of Bazhou, presumably the outside world's pursuit of him should not be as strict as Bazhou.

Qi Yanming is no stranger to Shizuiya, when they rebelled two months ago, he and Liu Liu had come here to recruit troops, because it was notoriously poor, so it recruited many people who were willing to follow them to rebel, but now it is estimated that they have all died on the battlefield.

When Qi Yanming came here, it was already dusk, and he saw some residents scattered at the foot of Shizui Cliff, most of the dilapidated houses had already risen from the smoke of cooking, and it seemed that they were preparing to make dinner.

Seeing the smoke in the distance, Qi Yanming twitched his nose, although he was still a long way from the village, he seemed to have smelled the aroma of the food. Speaking of which, these days he has been hiding everywhere, walking around the mountains every day, hungry and full, and has not been able to eat a serious meal at all, especially now that he has not eaten anything for a whole day and a night, and the last time he ate was only a fish with a palm from the river, so now his stomach is full of hunger, and he wants to rush into a house to eat a big meal.

However, although he was desperately hungry, Qi Yanming endured motionless with great perseverance, after all, he had been here before, and there must be a lot of people who knew him, and now the list of wanted people for him was everywhere, and the people in this village should also know that if he broke in so recklessly, he was likely to be arrested by the people in the village in exchange for silver.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Yanming has been squatting in the bushes until midnight, and after the people in the village are asleep, he slowly approached the village with a knife, because people in the village generally raise dogs, so after Qi Yanming tried a few times, he chose a house close to the outskirts of the village, and there were no dogs in the yard to climb over the wall to enter.

After entering this house, Qi Yanming took a look at it by the moonlight in the sky, and found that the house of this family was extremely dilapidated, the yellow mud earthen wall was weathered, the thatch on the roof should be replaced, and some sundries were moved in the small yard, and there was a snoring sound from the main house.

Qi Yanming didn't want to alarm the owner of this family, he just wanted to find something to eat now, and then go to the mountains and forests to sleep well, and after recuperating his spirits, he would go over the mountains and leave Bazhou tomorrow. Therefore, I saw him quietly touch the thatched hut where the family cooks, and open the pot to find some leftovers or something.

However, to Qi Yanming's disappointment, the family's pot was extremely clean, there was nothing to eat at all, and he rummaged through the entire thatched hut and couldn't find anything to eat. In fact, this is not surprising, in a poor place like Shizuiya, every household has nothing valuable, and the food at home is only enough to make a living, so every family attaches great importance to food, and these families do not have a special kitchen, and the place where they cook is a broken shed, so the precious food will naturally not be placed here, and it is generally hidden in the house where they live.

Qi Yanming was almost hungry at this time, and he also knew that other families in this village might be similar to this family, and it was estimated that the food was hidden in the house, so if he wanted to find food, he could only venture into the house.

Thinking of this, Qi Yanming couldn't care about anything else, and quietly came to the front of the main house of this family, he first pushed the window, but found that they were all bolted, and finally had to come to the door, and then inserted the knife into the crack of the door, and opened the door bolt little by little, while carefully listening to the movement in the house.

Qi Yanming's luck was good, when he opened the door smoothly, the snoring inside did not stop, he gently pushed the door open and entered the house, tiptoeing around the outhouse, but he still didn't find it, which made Qi Yanming scold the family for being careful, and estimated that the food was placed in the room where they slept.

In desperation, Qi Yanming quietly came to the door of the inner room, the inner room and the outer room of this family are only separated by a cloth curtain, Qi Yanming opened the curtain and took a look, and found that there were two people sleeping on the lonely bed facing the window, through the moonlight through the gap in the window, you can see the gray hair on their heads, it seems that it should be an old couple, which makes Qi Yanming's heart relieved, and secretly said that he was really lucky, and he actually came to the home of only one pair of old people, so that even if he alarmed the other party, he could escape calmly.

Qi Yanming quietly entered the inner room, and soon found a bamboo basket on a small table next to the bed, in which there were several black nest heads, which made him happy in his heart, and immediately lowered his body and put the nest head in his arms. But just as he was taking the nest, he didn't notice that the snoring in the room had disappeared. (To be continued......)
