Chapter 46 A thief is not a thief, and an official is not an official!
"Get on your knees!" Ling pressed his foot on the knee of Pan Min, who was tied like a dumpling all over his body, and the big boss of the Changling thief, who was still majestic at the last moment, had already knelt on the ground.
"Humph!" Pan Min snorted coldly, he didn't even want to raise his head when he knelt on the ground, and the rotation of feng shui for a few seconds was really difficult for him to accept.
"I thought that the Yanyu Jiangnan spread on the rivers and lakes was so benevolent and righteous, and today it is nothing more than that!"
"Oh?" Jiang Nan had just rescued Du Yang, and after confirming that he had received better medical treatment, he suddenly became interested and looked at Pan Min who was kneeling on the ground.
I saw that Pan Min had already raised his head at this time, looking at Jiang Nan's eyes, and he was about to burst into flames: "Although we are thieves, we also know the word credit!" We were willing to let you go after you exchanged grain and grass, but we didn't expect Jiangnan, whose reputation and reputation in the world, would do such a thing, which is really shameful! ”
Pan Min spat fiercely, and Zhou Cake and Zheng Ke, who were controlled by Liao Yatanjing, also glared angrily at Jiangnan.
"Hahahaha!" Jiang Nan suddenly laughed out loud and said, "What a Changling Pan Min!" Let me ask you, the two of us originally did not interfere with the river water, and you directly robbed my grain and grass troops indiscriminately, do you want to tell me about benevolence and righteousness?
It is unjust for you to rob me of grain and grass for thieves and to capture my generals. I take the opportunity to act and treat others in the way of others, why is it unjust? ”
Pan Min couldn't refute what Jiang Nan said, and he didn't speak at all, he also knew that once he was captured, life and death would not be up to him.
Jiang Nan leaned over and picked up the bamboo slips that Pan Min had dropped when he was captured, and found that it was his own transcription of the wine, so he looked at Pan Min again with deep meaning.
The three tigers of Changling in the inner house have been captured, and the killing cries in the outer house have been monstrous. Jiang Nan knew that his two military advisors had found the cottage according to the marks left behind.
Without the Changling thieves and the masters like the Three Tigers, there is no chance in the face of the 20,000 iron cavalry led by Bai Wei, Chen Lin, and Guo Zhun.
At this moment, it is estimated that the outside is still just setting up a formation! Jiang Nan thought about it in his heart, so he casually picked up the Changling tent captured by the soldiers and looked at it with a single eye.
"In February, 20,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stones of grain and grass were intercepted from the wealthy merchants, all of which were scattered in the hands of the brothers in the village to ensure the normal life of their families.
March......
In recent months, due to the expansion of the scale of the cottage brothers, the number of family members on the mountain has also increased greatly, and the silver grain and grass in the village have been insufficient......"
The more Jiang Nan reads, the tighter his brows are wrinkled.
This gang of bandits may be very different from ordinary bandits. Pan Min is a guy who likes to package himself with literary accomplishments, so the big and small matters in the cottage are recorded. Even the year, month and place where the cottage started are clearly written.
From reading, Jiang Nan already knew that Pan, Zhou, and Zheng were all poor boys in the villages near Xinwei County. The three of them have been good martial arts since they were children, and they all had a lot of martial arts when they were crowned.
In this troubled era of Kyushu, in the pedantic politics of Zhiguo, these remote villages may have been abandoned by the Liu Dynasty.
Both the economy, culture, and humanities are quite backward here, and it can even be said that these villages are almost isolated from the outside world.
The village was poor, and the people of the big county did not want to go in. The cultural quality is low, and the village is despised like going out to the big city, and after the cycle goes from generation to generation, villages like this will always be labeled backward.
This is the feudal era, not China's modern socialist society. Commoners rarely have the opportunity to realize their own value through their own efforts, and you will be a pariah all your life without the identity of a family here!
The so-called official coercion and civil rebellion can probably be used on the people in Pan Min Cottage. Without the strong support of the state, there are serious taxes and forced labor, and few poor mountain villages can afford it.
is also known as the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and the three of Pan Min who have seen through this world, being a thief is probably the only way out for these people.
Who is born willing to be a thief? Who ever lived the days of licking blood from the knife?
Troubled times create heroes, and troubled times are creating a large number of thieves like Pan Min at the same time. Fortunately, these people are still kind in nature, and basically everyone in the cottage has not done anything hurtful although they are not thieves.
Jiang Nan looked at the old and young women and children who were still in shock, and his heart was already very uncomfortable.
In the eyes of these people, Jiang Nan clearly saw three feelings, one was the shock and fear of Jiangnan and others, the second was the worry of Pan Min and others, and the third was the resentment of Jiangnan for destroying their beautiful homeland.
Is it forced by the world or is it ruthless? If Jiangnan is a native of Kyushu, he may still be able to ignore everything indifferently, but Jiangnan is a time-traveler from a highly civilized society!
Just when Jiang Nan felt in his heart, an old man about seventy or eighty years old had already staggered in front of Jiang Nan, and she slowly supported the ground with one hand, and was about to bow down.
"This official master!" The old man's trembling voice sounded in Jiang Nan's ears.
"Please be kind and let Min Zi go!" The old man is really old, and his body is about to be unable to support her bowing movements.
But she has been forcibly supporting, and in her heart she has already regarded this cottage as her final destination, and she has to desperately ask for it no matter what.
Pan Min's eyes were red, and they wanted to struggle but were held down tightly by the three of them.
"Grandma Yu! Don't ask for them! Pan Min couldn't bear to look away, as if he didn't want to see the kneeling side of this old man who was in the middle of the year.
Jiang Nan's whole heart was trembling at this time, he also had parents and grandparents, how could he bear to see a white-haired old woman give such a big gift to a hairy boy to himself?
Holding the old man's trembling body, he said, "Old man, don't worry, I won't embarrass them!" ”
"Little General!" The old man was very stubborn, and he didn't care about Jiangnan's support at all, and he had to bow down.
"I know Min Zi is a thief, but they really haven't done anything hurtful!"
"Over the years, we old and undead have relied on their third brother!"
As soon as the old lady surnamed Yu said this, almost all the old and young women and children present rushed to Jiangnan, even if those children who were still playing around before were very obedient and knelt on the ground at this time.
"Please let Uncle Minzi go with them!" A small child was almost crying when he hugged Jiangnan's left leg.
And the old lady surnamed Yu was already in tears, "These children and their mothers fled to the mountains when the Taibai thieves rebelled, and their men were either killed or used as strong men, and it was Min Zi and their brothers who kindly took them in!" ”
"I know, I know." Jiang Nan comforted the old lady with one hand, stroked the child's head with the other, and thought of a letter he had just read.
It was a letter that hadn't been mailed out yet, and the first line of the letter was a big "roll" word.
And the following is probably written like this, "Ruzhi Taibai is known as helping the world and saving the people, but after capturing the city, he is doing a hurtful way!" What kind of face do you have to cast for us today? I have the right to wait for you to cut off your head on the board, and wait for me to take it! ”
Arrogance, arrogance, and jealousy are all manifested in this letter. According to the character of the Three Tigers of Changling, it is probably not difficult to write a similar reply.
According to Jiang Nan's estimates, after the Taibai Sect occupied the county seat, they were eager to expand their power to compete with the imperial court, so Xiang Pan Min, a powerful thief, was naturally the target of their recruitment.
Whether it is the temptation of money or the coercion and use, I am afraid that many gangs of thieves have surrendered. I did it myself, but I just robbed money and killed people and cowered on the mountain. If you do it with this Taibai Sect, not only will you take the money and kill the people, but you can also work against the court, maybe one day you can be a general! Why wouldn't ordinary bandits do such a thing?
However, a Changling thief like Pan Min refused, and a big roll word was tantamount to slapping Taibaijiao's face.
These three young people are also newborn calves and are not afraid of tigers, even if the Taibai Sect has many problems at this time, I am afraid that it is not something that their 20,000 bandits can deal with.
But they still resolutely refused, according to what Pan Min said later, although Lao Tzu is a thief, he also has a conscience, the villagers have just escaped, is Lao Tzu going to send them to death again?
A sentence "I advise you to cut off your head and the board by yourself, wait for me to take it!" He has won a lot of favor from Jiangnan, and at this time, he has to admire the seemingly shoddy Three Tigers of Changling.
The superb martial arts of the three people, their kind hearts, and their courage to not be afraid of the powerful can't help but make Jiangnan have the heart to recruit.
After appeasing the old lady surnamed Yu and a group of old and young women and children again, Jiang Nan whispered a few words in the ear of a herald.
This herald was practiced by Bai Wei single-handedly, and the light skills naturally flew away to the camp without missing a turnover.
And after Jiang Nan saw the back of the herald, he picked up a horse chopping knife and walked towards Pan Min and the others!
Are you going to die? Kneeling on the ground, Pan Min didn't think much about it at this time. Death is death, eighteen years later, Lao Tzu is still a good man.
"Brush, brush!" As soon as the sound of the knife fell, the rope that was tightly attached to Pan Min and the three of them broke in response.
Looking at the three people who were puzzled, Jiang Nan slowly spoke, "Changling Three Tigers, you are tough enough!" I Jiangnan admire! ”
"Today, I don't want to take advantage of Jiangnan! I'll let you go, and I'm gambling with you!" ”
Jiang Nan patted the somewhat dissatisfied Ling Pressure, signaled him not to have a seizure, and then said to Pan Min and the others: "If you win, all the grain and grass of my Jiangnan army will belong to you!"
If I win, I want you to immediately collect and distribute the cottage and vote for my Jiangnan! ”
…
Outside the village, Bai Wei did not wear the night clothes that killers are used to, but wore the goose feather armor tailored for him by Jiangnan, and the slender figure wrapped in silver armor attracted people's attention.
And Chen Lin and Guo Zhun immediately flanked Bai Wei on both sides, according to Jiang Nan's instructions, at this time, the two of them tried their best to assist their housewife.
Changling's minions looked at the 20,000 iron cavalry under the city, plus the fact that they couldn't wait for the orders of a few masters in Neizhai Mountain, and looked a little uneasy.
On the other side, the Jiangzhou soldiers and horses in Jiangnan got the signal and looked full of energy, and their eyes flashed with scenes about to kill.
War is on the verge of breaking out.
Suddenly, a soldier who looked like a country jumped down directly from the wooden wall of the outer village and ran straight to Bai Wei and the others.
The distance is getting closer, and the figure is getting clearer and clearer.
"The Lord has an order, all soldiers are on standby! No attacking cottages! ”
