Ba County was divided into two by Chen Lin and Jia Long, and it is said that there was a county named Linjiang County in Badong under Jia Long's rule. Linjiang County is located in the middle of Badong, north of the big river, west can be along the river until Jiangzhou and Fuling, hundreds of miles east is Shuzhong to connect Jingzhou to the key pass Kuiguan, after Kuiguan is Wuxia, Yongan and other places. However, it is said that there is a family in Linjiang County, which is a famous family in the county, and the family's surname is Gan, and its ancestral home is Nanyang. Gan Hu, the head of the Gan family, is in his early forties, Gan Yong is as his name, brave and untamed, but he is righteous, and he is quite popular in Linjiang, Gan Hu has accumulated a good family property for decades, and there are family properties in the city and countryside. Because Gan Hu often subsidized down-and-out rangers, and was a faithful and loyal person, Gan Hu was greatly respected in Ba County, although he was not in office.

Gan Hu had three sons, two of whom died young, leaving only two sons, Gan Ning. Gan Ning is twenty years old, the word is prosperous, Gan Ning adheres to the character of Gan Hu, brave and strong. When he was young, Gan Ning did not do his job, and often gathered a group of teenagers, Gan Ning considered himself the leader, and he was in groups with swords and arrows, and everyone wore bells. This group of people wandered around Ba County, often meddling in their own affairs, killing people and hiding their lives, and making a great reputation.

Gan Ning has a chivalrous and angry temperament, he can go anywhere, if the local people who associate with him receive Gan Ning warmly, Gan Ning will make friends with all his heart, and even do everything. If these people look down on Gan Ning and neglect Gan Ning, they will be angry and angry, and even connive at their subordinates to loot and set fire to the local area. And because Gan Ning's group of people are grand and abnormal, they are dressed in splendid and luxurious clothes, and their brilliance is attractive. So as soon as the bell rang, everyone knew that it was Gan Ning's gang who came, and they called this group of people as "Jinfan thieves".

It wasn't until two years ago that Gan Ning restrained his temperament a little, read hundreds of books, knew some truths, and began to slowly and seriously work for his father Gan Hu. But Gan Ning's swaggering momentum has not changed much, and Gan Ning has a group of **100 accomplices under him, all of whom were people gathered by Gan Ning back then. At this time, Gan Hu suddenly wanted to find a good future for his son, and he couldn't be like himself, he was just a rich man in the county.

On this day, in Gan Mansion in Linjiang County, Gan Ning ran back angrily, Gan Hu happened to be in the house, only to see Gan Ning shouting: "I'm angry, father, what is Li Weinan, I dare to yell at someone, I'm angry." If it weren't for Shen Mi pulling a certain knife, a knife would have slashed him, and he would have been angry. Shouting and jumping around in the courtyard restlessly, his eyes were fierce and hideous, as if he wanted to eat people. Shen Mi is also Gan Ning's subordinate, a native of Linjiang, and has been wandering around with Gan Ning since he was a child, but although Shen Mi was born poor, he is much more stable. It turned out that today Gan Hu asked Gan Ning to visit the new Linjiang County Commander Li Chao Li Weinan, a Guanghan man, who followed Jia Long early. After Jia Long broke with Ren An, he purged all the people who did Ren An and replaced them with his cronies, and Li Chao was sent someone to be the county commander of Linjiang.

Seeing Gan Ning like this, Gan Hu frowned, not only was he angry with Li Chao's rudeness, but also remembered that the previous county order was also ignoring Gan Hu, Gan Hu was angry, these people just looked down on the Gan family and were not the children of the Shi clan. At the same time, Gan Hu was extremely unhappy with Gan Ning's performance, and shouted: "It's always frizzy, when can I change that broken problem, and I still want to be a 'Jinfan thief'?" ”

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and stood up with anger, Gan Ning was not afraid of this father, although Gan Ning's current kung fu had already been easy to put down Gan Hu, but since he was a child, he didn't dare to oppose his father. At this time, Shen Mi behind him caught up with Gan Ning to come back, saw Gan Hu, and hurriedly knelt down: "Meet the master." ”

Gan Hu saw that it was Shen Mi and said: "Shen Mi get up, don't be like this, this is not an official mansion." Shen Mi didn't know how much trouble he had dealt with for Gan Ning, and Gan Hu didn't dare to imagine that if Shen Mi wasn't by Gan Ning's side, Gan Ning wouldn't know how big Lou Zi would be, so Gan Hu was always kind to Shen Mi. Shen Mi stood up and peeked at Gan Ning, Gan Ning looked at it and shouted: "Look at what so-and-so is doing, you shouldn't have pulled so-and-so just now and let a certain knife chop that guy." Shen Mi didn't react, but Gan Hu slapped it and sent it to Gan Ning's head, so that Gan Ning couldn't help but be shorter, and when he saw Gan Hu glaring angrily, he didn't dare to speak anymore. Gan Hu: "Kill, kill, kill, you know Hu Lai, if it weren't for Shen Mi, this Linjiang county would be turned upside down by this barbarian, split him, after splitting him, General Jia has tens of thousands of troops." ”

After Gan Hu scolded, he turned his head to look at Shen Mi, it seemed that he had lost Shen Mi again today, Gan Hu asked, "Shen Mi, what's the matter?" Although Shen Mi has done a lot of stupid things with Gan Ning over the years, Shen Mi has received countless benefits, although Gan Ning yells at him all day long, he is not stingy with rewards at all. Shen Mi's sister was also rescued by the Gan family, Shen Mi never complained about Gan Ning, at this time, when she saw Gan Hu asking, she hurriedly replied: "Master, this Li County Order is the same as before, and it was polite at first, but when I heard that Xingba wanted to be a county lieutenant, he immediately turned his face and almost knocked me out of the house, and these county lords still look down on me and other identities." He shook his head.

Gan Hu secretly said in his heart, sure enough, a nameless fire vine rose, and the county magistrate took advantage of Gan Ning's bad reputation to shirk it, what bad reputation, although Gan Ning is a 'Jinfan thief', but Gan Ning rarely harms ordinary people, those famous sons who bully men and women, but they can be officials in an open and honest manner, and what else is a bad reputation, just one, identity.

Gan Hu is both helpless and angry about this, can't he really ask for a good job for Gan Ning and have a bright future? Gan Hu was unwilling, and said to Gan Ning: "Xingba, Linjiang is hopeless, I heard that you have a very good relationship with the general of Deyang, so why don't you go to Deyang, it is said that Chen Bozhi is also a master, and he is very good to the people." ”

Gan Ning waved his hand and said: "No, Youping's goods have already left, it is said that he went to Shishangyong County * to practice the water army, and now Yang Jiwei from Hanzhong in Deyang is also a high-eyed goods, and there is also a person surnamed Cai, who has never even seen it; Alas, it's still a good life for Youping, and anyone who did business on the water back then could be a general. "I don't know how Gan Ning met Zhou Tai, it seems that the relationship is not bad, otherwise Gan Ning wouldn't even know about Zhou Tai's water thief back then.

Gan Hu heard "Oh, do business on the water? "Gan Hu doesn't know what water trading is, he is just curious about Zhou Tai's history. When Gan Ning saw that Gan Hu didn't know, he immediately came up with interest, and when he came over, he said to Gan Hu Balabala, saying how he met Zhou Tai, and how Zhou Tai bragged to him. When Gan Hu heard it, this Chen Lin was really good, even the water thieves dared to use it, and it was still very useful. Gan Hu glanced back at Gan Ning, who was still arguing with Shen Mi, and then looked at the tall mansion of Gan Mansion, and immediately decided to go to Hanzhong to meet this Hanzhong Taishou.

Gan Ning was very happy, happy not that he might be able to go out, but that he could go out to play again. I saw Gan Hu say again: "Order someone to go to Shangyong County first, find your friend Xingba, General Zhou, and ask for a letter of recommendation, so that you can speak better in front of Chen Taishou." We went to Brazil and Guanghan first, and now General Jia and Mr. Ren do not agree, and the peaceful situation in Shuzhong has been broken, maybe Chen Taishou is now in Guanghan or Brazil. ”

Gan Ning immediately became unhappy and shouted: "Don't go to the mediocrity, don't go to the mediocrity, Youping's goods can be generals, and everyone recommends them, is it worse than that goods, don't go to the mediocrity." Gan Hu's behavior of wanting to give a letter of recommendation made the arrogant Gan Ning stand it, and hurriedly shouted. Gan Hu knew that although Gan Ning was mostly angry, but seeing Gan Ning so confident, Gan Hu was also relieved, don't want it.

Gan Ning shouted: "Cheer, Shen Mi, beckoning everyone to go." "I want to rush out with Shen Mi to greet and gather the gang of accomplices from the past. Shen Mi and Gan Hu shouted at the same time: "No." Shen Mi and Gan Hu couldn't help but glance at each other, and Gan Hu said: "Xingba, Shen Mi can know that something is wrong, why can't you see it." If General Jia knows, can I wait to lead nearly a thousand people out of Linjiang, think about it with my brain. "Although Gan Ning and Gan Hu are all chivalrous people and have a certain reputation in the green forest, they have no status in the government, so even if Gan Ning and Gan Ning run around in Shu, no one will pay attention, but if Gan Ning beckons those ** hundred accomplices to go on the road together, it won't work, who knows if this is an army or not. Gan Ning muttered, and seemed to understand, suddenly without the passion just now, not enough scenery.

Half a month later, Gan Hu and several people appeared in Guanghan City, at this time Gan Ning had already forgotten that he was not allowed to bring his accomplices, and looked around the streets and alleys of Guanghan, looking non-stop. said in his mouth: "Father, is this Chen Bozhi so prosperous under his rule, and it is also over there in Brazil, and it is also here." Gan Hu smiled, in the past half a month, Gan Hu and others have been shuttling under Chen Lin's rule, and there are people with smiling faces everywhere, Gan Hu is a little more yearning for this Chen Taishou, and said with a smile: "Xingba, I heard that Hanzhong County is more prosperous, and there are tens of thousands of people in each county." ”

Gan Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he suddenly took off the bell from his waist, held it on his head, and rushed out to shout: "Give way and give way, give way, give way...... "Extremely crazy, Gan Hu and the others are extremely helpless, and they have long been accustomed to it. At this time, in a restaurant not far away, by the window, a young master who was dressed ordinarily but couldn't hide the majestic momentum inside pointed to Gan Ning, who was calling on the street, and asked a Chinese-clothed scribe behind him: "Who is this, so swaggering?" ”

The scribe stood up and looked out the window, and suddenly smiled: "Lord, I knew this person when I was in Chengdu, and the 'Jinfan thief' in Linjiang is this person." ”

"Oh? Sail thief? But the one that Youping said? ”
