In July of the sixth year of Guanghe, Xuzhou Mansion issued a wanted list: Zang Ba, a native of Taishan County, colluded with Taishan thief Xu Xun to rebel, robbed the prisoner Zang Jie, killed Taishou He Ying, county lieutenant Wang Hu, Duwei Ma Yan and other court officials, and gathered people to break through the county warehouse, robbed rice and grain, and was heinous, and hung two thousand taels of silver, regardless of life or death.

In addition to the wanted warrant, the Xuzhou government also sent the state lieutenant to lead 2,000 soldiers into Taishan County to arrest the key culprit Zang Ba and related personnel.

It's a pity that when these elite soldiers arrived in Taishan County, Xu Xun, the leader of the Taishan Army, had already moved the entire Taishan Army to the north of Taishan to avoid the edge of the Xuzhou army. As for Zang Ba, the culprit of this riot,

He also took his two younger brothers, Zang Ai and Zang Shun, to protect his father Zang Jie, and fled from Taishan County and took refuge in Donghai County, along with Zhang Huang and other members of the Black Feather Crow.

Ten days later, the Zang family came forward with two brothers, Zang Ai and Zang Shun, and used their savings to buy a mansion in Donghai County, and settled here, finally bringing this matter to an end. As for the matter of the wanted list, the two brothers have been concerned about this matter in the past few days.

No, in the early morning ten days later, when Zhang Huang, Zang Ba and others were still resting in the guest room of Xinzang Mansion, Zang Ai and Zang Shun ran in from outside the mansion in a hurry, and brought the wanted warrants of Zhang Huang and others.

"It's out, it's out, the big brother's wanted warrant is out!" Being wanted is obviously a very bad thing, but Zang Ai and Zang Shun are full of joy and pride on their faces, and then look at Zang Ba, who is the party concerned, they are also surprised and expectant, without any fear and anxiety.

"Two thousand taels!" Brothers Zang Ai and Zang Shun held Zang Ba's wanted warrant in front of their brother.

"Two thousand taels?" Even if Zang Ba had already prepared in his heart, he was shocked to gasp when he saw his wanted warrant at this time, and muttered, "Two thousand taels...... How many of them? ”

Isn't it, two thousand taels of silver, this silver is not too much, and there are many strong leaders in the world like Xu Xun of the Taishan Army who occupy the mountains as the king, and there is no such amount of silver. Obviously, the biggest reason is because Zhang Huang and Zang Ba killed Taishan Taishou He Ying in this incident, which was regarded by Xuzhou Mansion as a blatant rebellion and murder of court officials.

"The husband wants to be famous in the world, although it is notorious...... Let's go! Zang Ba seemed to calmly put away his wanted warrant, but his eyes faintly revealed joy.

It's no wonder that after all, Zang Ba is just a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, where would he not want to be famous, as for good name and bad name, in his opinion, as long as he has a clear conscience, how can he care about what the world says?

Inside the house, Li Tong heard that Zang Ba's silver seizure was as high as two thousand taels, and his eyes couldn't help but glow with a bit of brilliance like a hungry wolf, hooked Zang Ai's neck and said with a smile, "Second Brother Zang, what about me?" I'm wanted too, right? Xuangao has two thousand taels, I attacked Taishan Prison and killed many evil officials of He Ying's party, how can I say that there are also a thousand taels? ”

Next to him, although Chen Zhi and Shan Fu didn't speak, they also looked at Zang Ai with great energy, and even Zhang Huang showed a bit of expectation on his face.

"This ......" Zang Ai's expression suddenly became strange, and he hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Brother Li Tong, Brother Chen Zhi and None of them are wanted......"

"What did you say?" Before Li Tong could speak, Chen Zhi suddenly jumped up, pulled Zang Ai and asked in surprise, "I...... Why should I kill that evil official, and I didn't even make the wanted list? ”

Zang Ai was startled, and said timidly, "Xuzhou Mansion seems to have counted the crimes of killing Taishou He Ying, county lieutenant Wang Hu, and metropolitan lieutenant Ma Yan on my eldest brother......

"What?" Li Tong and Chen Zhi's eyes widened, and they looked lost and depressed.

You know, they are still speculating about their wanted bounty several times in the past few days, and they are chatting with great interest, but who would have thought that the wanted order would not be shared by the three of them.

"Okay, okay, don't you have a wanted warrant, that's a good thing!"

Squeezing the three of them apart, Zhang Huang walked over with a smile, hooked Zang Ai's shoulders, and said with a wink, "That...... Second Brother Zang said, am I wanted? At the same time, Shan Fu also squeezed away Li Tong and Chen Zhi, who were full of sluggish faces, with a smile on his face, and walked over.

"Yes......" Zang Ai carefully handed a wanted notice to Zhang Huang and said in a low voice, "The looks of Brother Zhang Huang and Brother Shan Fu are on the wanted list...... "He emphasized the word appearance in his words.

However, Zhang Huang and Shan Fu didn't care, and happily took their wanted warrants and looked at them. After just one glance, the smiles on their faces froze.

As Zang Ai said, the two wanted warrants did have the faces of Zhang Huang and Shan Fu depicted, but their names became [Accomplice A] and [Accomplice B], and the silver was fifty taels, which was only twenty taels higher than those of Huang Luo and his gang in Ash Mountain. Even, this is very likely to be stained with the light of the mastermind Zang Ba.

"Accomplice A......"

"Fifty taels ......"

The brilliance in Zhang Huang and Shan Fu's eyes suddenly dimmed, and they silently walked to the corner, lowering their heads and thinking about it.

In the four corners of a room, the four members of the Black Feather Crow except for Zang Ba happened to stay in one corner, squatting in the corner with a sluggish face, and no matter how much Zang Ai shouted, there was no reaction at all.

Seeing the appearance of these four brothers, Zang Ba wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, for fear of causing public anger, so he scratched his neck with a weak heart.

In fact, Zang Ba knew very well that if it weren't for his four brothers of the Black Feather Crow, he wouldn't have been able to do this alone, and it was very likely that not only would his father not be able to save him, but maybe he himself would have died in Mount Tai. In a sense, he can be said to have taken the 'credit' of these four brothers: the county lieutenant Wang Hu was killed by Zhang Huang, and the Taishou He Ying was killed by Chen Zhi under the protection of many He Ying guards, and even later led the county soldiers to open the county warehouse and distribute it to the people, which is also the masterpiece of Li Tong and Shan Fu. But it is because he is familiar with him in Taishan County, and many people know him, so they attribute these things to him, saying that he did not hesitate to oppose the government in order to save his unjustly imprisoned father, and killed the evil officials, why should he fight with the evil party, and made these people smuggle rice and grain, privately arrest innocent people as prisoners, and other ugly deeds are made public, to put it bluntly, all good things have been taken up by him Zang Ba, and the other four brothers have not gained any reputation, and even Zhang Huang, the leader of his black feather crow, has become his subordinate. Accomplice A', Zang Ba feels funny when he thinks about it.

I don't know if it was because Zhang Huang and the others were too disappointed, or because Zang Ai and Zang Shun were too happy, Zang Jiezang Prison Cao couldn't look at it a little, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he scolded unhappily, "Okay! Two little brutes who don't know anything, your eldest brother is wanted by the government, how can you two still laugh? ”

Zang Ai and Zang Shun brothers disagreed when they heard this, and said in a proud tone, "Wanted, that is only because Xuzhou Mansion has no eyes, I don't know the reason for this matter, that day in Mount Tai, who doesn't say that the eldest brother is a good man of filial piety and bravery?" ”

Zang Jie was speechless, shook his head after half a sound and said, "It's not a good thing after all...... he said, he sighed and said, "Xuan Gao, you come, I have something to say to you for my father." ”

Seeing his father's call, Zang Ba didn't dare to disobey, put away the smile on his face and came to his father, and asked, "Father, please speak." ”

I saw Zang Prison Cao glanced at Zhang Huang and the others in the four corners, and then turned his eyes to his eldest son Zang Ba, and said with a sigh, "This time you are implicated by your father, and your four companions are involved, and you are really sorry for your father...... I wonder what you're going to do? ”

Zang Ba smiled when he heard this, "Just take this opportunity to travel the world with the four brothers, work hard, and see if you can become famous in the world." ”

Zang Jie had long known that Zang Ba had agreed to Zhang Huang's request in order to save him and joined a rebel army called Black Feather Crow, and Zang Jie also liked Zhang Huang, a few brave and resourceful, benevolent and righteous young heroes, and shook his head when he heard the words and said, "My father knows about this." This time, fortunately, only you, Brother Zhang, and Brother Shan were on the list, and the names of Brother Zhang and Brother Shan were not exposed except for you, and the name of your rebel army, Black Feather Crow, was not known by the government...... It's a blessing in the midst of misfortune. Since you are a member of the Black Feather Raven in the future, you must do your best for this rebel army, and do not let it bear the notoriety...... You must know that notoriety is easy and fame is difficult, if your rebel army once degenerates from a rebel army to a thief army, it will be difficult to wash away the stigma. ”

Zang Ba's face was straight, and he said meekly, "What my father taught. The father's words are taken to heart by the child. ”

"Hmm." Zang Jie nodded, and after thinking for a while, he continued, "This time, you have committed something in Taishan County, and the Xuzhou Mansion has issued a wanted warrant to arrest you, this Xuzhou, you can't stay any longer." It's better to go to Yangzhou to join your distant uncle. ”

"I still have an uncle?" Zang Ba asked in surprise.

Zang Jie smiled slightly when he heard this, and continued, "When you arrive in Yangzhou, you find your distant uncle and tell him the rights and wrongs of the whole thing, and your uncle will vouch for you and others, and wash away the stigma for you, Brother Zhang, and Brother Shan." A while ago, my father was in correspondence with your distant uncle, and his old man said that he needed someone to contribute to the court, so why don't you go to his old man's house. If you make meritorious deeds, the stigma on you will be erased. ”

Before Zang Jie's words fell, Shan Fulai appeared next to him, and at this time, he seemed to have recovered his mood, touched his chin and said in surprise, "Wash away the stigma...... Uncle Zang, Xuangao, the leader and Xiaosheng's wanted warrants, that was issued by Xuzhou Mansion, who is that distant uncle of Xuangao, who can dredge up from Xuzhou Mansion? ”

Hearing this, Zang Jie smiled slightly, blinked his eyes, and said.

"The matter...... You'll know when you get to Yangzhou. ”
