In the second year of Chongzhen, on the third day of the first lunar month, there were special New Year's guests at home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai came to pay New Year's greetings, and the New Year's gifts they brought were still very rich, two bags of rice fat millet, two bags of flour, and a large piece of pork.

When Wu Guigui and the others entered the house, Wu Qingchao's face immediately changed, of course he knew the reputation of Wu Guigui and the others.

However, it is a bit unlucky to turn away the people who worship the New Year.

Seeing Wu Fanhui's face with a smile, and seeing the humble smiles of Wu Guigui and others, Wu Qingchao was very strange, in his heart, he didn't want his son to associate with Wu Guigui and others, which would damage his reputation.

What is even more worrying is that Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai and others have a lot of bad deeds, if Wu Fanhui is mixed with these people, after spreading the word, the good future will be over, and now Wu Fanhui's academic progress is very fast, and Yan Qi has already said that he will be able to participate in the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, and he will definitely be able to go to high school, and he will be able to become a member of the diet.

This is not simple, there are only more than ten people in the entire Mizhi County, and the status is second only to the lifting people, and they can receive Lu rice from the county government every month, and they are respected by everyone.

When Wu Guigui and the others were sitting in the hall, Wu Qingchao pulled his son directly aside.

"Fan Hui, how do you know Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai, they do all kinds of evil in the village, who doesn't know that they are bandits, if the news of them coming to the house to pay New Year's greetings spreads, your reputation will be over, no, you can't associate with them."

"Dad, don't worry, I know this matter in my heart."

"No, although everything at home is to listen to you, but this is a big matter, it will affect your reputation, and it will affect your reputation, this matter must be my decision, you don't come forward, I will deal with them, let them leave early, and we don't want the food they brought."

Wu Qingchao's worries, Wu Fanhui understood, but this matter, Wu Fanhui had long thought about it, Wu Guigui and others had a bad reputation, but it was only in Ma'anshan Village, and it did not spread in the entire Mizhi County, to say that Wu Guigui and others did not have such great ability, Wu Fanhui, who had crossed the country, could not rely only on his own struggle, he needed someone to help him, and the characters of the three religions and nine streams had to be contacted, and everything that could be encircled had to be enveloped.

"Dad, you can't do this, you have to believe me, you can handle everything well, Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai have a very bad reputation in Ma'anshan Village, everyone in the village knows that they are bandits, but this reputation is only in the village, I don't know outside, and there is one more thing, have you ever thought about it, there are so many homeless people outside the city, they don't dare to get close to the county seat, how did Wu Guigui and others enter the county seat, why did they get the road guide."

Wu Qingchao was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this question.

"Fan Hui, I know you have the ability, but you still have to pay attention to things, there are some things that you must not do."

"Dad, don't worry, I'm a scholar, there's no need to be a bandit."

Pity the parents of the world, in the matter of Wu Guigui and others, Wu Qingchao is impossible to rest assured, but things have come to this point, Wu Fanhui can not give up at will, when he was kidnapped, he casually said that he had an appointment for half a year, and now that the time has come, then he will fulfill his promise, at least to envelop Wu Guigui and others.

In these years, being a bandit is not a big rebellion, those rebellious peasants are not often recruited by the imperial court, and some of them have become military ministers in the imperial court, and their status is very good.

When the time of half a year came, Wu Guigui and others made a special trip to find Wu Fanhui.

After separating in the mountain col that year, Wu Guigui and others gritted their teeth and left Ma'anshan Village, left Mizhi County, and went to Jiazhou, which is not far from Mizhi County.

Going out to be a bandit, the situation is very different, Wu Guigui and others have suffered a lot of tempering, and their skills are indeed good.

Wu Guigui has always remembered the agreement with Wu Fanhui, when the Spring Festival was approaching, he took Wang Baofu and Wang Decai back to Ma'anshan Village, and after some inquiry, he learned that Wu Fanhui and his family had moved to live in the county seat, and they had also purchased a house in the county seat, and Wu Fanhui had entered the Wu School to study.

Hearing these news, Wu Guigui and the others were not surprised, in their hearts, they had long felt that Wu Fanhui was not simple, they were just starting now, and they would be even more amazing in the future.

This kind of news also made the three of them determined, and they believed that the decision they had made was completely correct.

Without much discussion, the three of them decided to go to the county seat and pay New Year's greetings to Wu Fanhui.

Wu Qingchao's attitude, in their expectations, their reputation is indeed very bad, and it is also sneaky to return to the village this time, but they didn't expect that because of the too serious famine, in order to survive, some people in the village also became bandits, and the three of them were gradually forgotten because they left for a long time.

When Wu Fanhui appeared in the hall again with a smile, Wu Guigui hurriedly stood up and prepared to speak.

Wu Fanhui waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"During the Chinese New Year, everyone who comes is a guest, don't say anything troublesome or anything like that, there is famine everywhere in these years, and you are all trying to eat, I also know that you have suffered a lot in the past six months, and you can see it from your temperament."

Wu Guigui opened his mouth, but finally did not speak, and sat down silently.

"Brother Fanhui, eldest brother has always told us that you will definitely be successful."

Wu Fanhui looked at Wang Baofu who was speaking, still with a smile on his face.

"Brother Baofu, I've borrowed your auspicious words."

The meal must be at home, and Wu Fanhui will not bring Wu Guigui and others to the restaurant to eat, the impact still needs to be paid attention to, after all, he Wu Fanhui does not have any fame, so it can be said that he is vulnerable.

Wu Qingchao reluctantly came forward, and after toasting Wu Guigui and others, he left the hall.

Wang Hecui, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang will not show up.

After three rounds of drinking, Wu Fanhui put down the wine glass in his hand, and his face became serious.

"I have never forgotten the half-year appointment, since you have found me, you have to tell the truth about some things."

Wu Guigui and the others nodded again and again, when they were chatting just now, they were still bandits in Jiazhou, and they had already said it all, there was nothing worth hiding about it, and Wu Fanhui didn't care at all.

"You left Ma'anshan Village, and even Mizhi County, as for you being bandits in Jiazhou, it's not a big deal, it's all about surviving, but you have to explain one thing, when you did the kidnapping in Ma'anshan Village, did you collude with Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong."

Wu Guigui's body trembled, and the chopsticks in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Fan, Brother Fanhui, brother, how do you know about this."

"I came up with it, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, you are local people, do evil in this place, Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong are old and Lizheng, it is impossible to ignore them, then they can't get over their face, and they will be scolded by everyone, if you want them to let them go, there is only one way, that is, they get enough benefits, the benefits of your filial piety, this benefit prompts them not to open their mouths, and let them go."

Wu Guigui, Wang Baofu and Wang Decai opened their mouths wide and looked at Wu Fanhui, such a simple and straightforward analysis to the point, they heard it for the first time, and they couldn't think of such a secret thing, which was nothing at all in Wu Fanhui's eyes.

Wu Guigui and the other three stood up, picked up their wine glasses, and respectfully toasted Wu Fanhui.

"Brother Fanhui, we are served, you can come up with such things, now that you know, all the things I know are said, the kidnapping that appeared in Ma'anshan Village at the beginning, not exactly did it by us, there are other people, you should remember the other three people who followed me at the beginning, they were from Taohua Town, at that time there was also a group of people in Taohua Town, the idea of hitting Ma'anshan Village, but the village was too poor, these people didn't take a fancy to it, they also had contact with Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong, and there was one point, which person was kidnapped, Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong knew it, and they also nodded in agreement, otherwise we wouldn't dare to do it... ”

A word popped up in Wu Fanhui's mind, a nest of snakes and rats.

The officials of the yamen at all levels use the power in their hands to exploit the people on the surface, and the local elders and lizheng collude with the bandits to obtain ill-gotten gains, and the local elders and lizheng are also the accomplices of the county officials, exploiting the people together and obtaining money from them, the common people have suffered a heavy famine and need relief from the government, who knows not only can not get relief, but also suffer from exploitation at all levels, how can the people survive, what can they do if they do not rise up to rebel.

Wu Fanhui also picked up the wine glass, and after clinking glasses with Wu Guigui and others, he drank it in one go.

"You can't do it for too long, you will be damned, I promised you, I will naturally find a way for you, so that you will no longer live a life of fear."

Wu Guigui grinned.

"Okay, I'll just wait for this sentence, from now on, you are our eldest brother, wherever you point, we will hit wherever you point, and we will never frown...

Wu Guigui and the three of them have been bandits outside for so long, and they have banditry, and even more so, they have the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, which is what Wu Fanhui values and where he can take advantage of it.

But the temperament of Wu Guigui and others must change, otherwise the banditry on their bodies will make them finally go to the point of no return, the three of them really committed a big crime, Wu Fanhui is also helpless, especially in various parts of Yan'an Prefecture, there have been peasant rebellions of different sizes, and the three of them cannot be involved.

"I'll be the big brother."

Wu Fanhui picked up his glass again.

"Within this year, I will take the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, and I can't take care of you for the time being, you can go to Ningxia to join the army, and you will come to me again during the Spring Festival next year."
