"How many people did you kill in Doushaguan?" Yun Zheng asked this crucial question as soon as he saw Lai Ba. "The conscience of heaven and earth, I have not killed a single person, and I have not caused any disaster to a woman, but I took some linen cloth and salt from the bean paste pass." Lai Ba saw that Yun Zheng asked this question as soon as they met, and his hanging heart immediately relaxed, he just didn't kill anyone, God can testify for himself, woe to women, the people who killed were the group of people in Yuanshan, they were originally robbers. "That's good, that's good, Lai Ba, I'm not wrong these days, I'm always worried that you are also involved in the massacre of people and the rape of women, once you get involved in these two things, you can't be called human. I actually don't object to killing people, whether it's out of revenge, or hatred, even if it's robbery, there is always a reason to kill, and this can still make people figure it out, but if you look at what you do in the city, many times you are simply killing people for the sake of killing, and the things that the beasts don't do, have been done all over again. In the face of Yun Zheng's accusation, Lai Ba defended loudly: "No, I am a human being, and the mountain people living in the nearby mountains are also human beings, we originally wanted to scare the bastard county order and let our people go, as long as we let people go, we will go back to the mountains immediately, even if someone is killed, we will admit it, who let us be homeless, and now we can make a little deal with the outside, as long as there is no shortage of salt and other things, we plan to die in the mountains and not come out."

It's all the things that the Yuanshan Black Tiger did them, and the county order has promised to release people, but the Black Tiger took advantage of the opportunity of the county order to release people to break through the Dousha Pass, and then there is a later thing, I only know that I went to the prison and brought our people back, and picked up some salt and cotton cloth on the way, and then we went out of the customs, and there was no disaster and no murder.

Just as we were out of the city, we heard that the Wonshan Black Tiger had been killed by an old man, so we ran faster and didn't even look back. “

Yun Zheng sat down quietly, holding his chin with one hand and thinking to himself: I thought that everyone in these mountain people had a part in killing people, but I didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns in it, indeed, killing people requires a certain amount of courage, and I was in a very bad mood when I planned to murder the monk Wugou last time, although I stopped later, and the nightmares when I returned home were still one after another, and it really took guts to kill people with a dead hand.

Only those who already have blood on their hands can do such a cold thing, and without the fanatical inducement of race and religion, it is impossible for ordinary people to do such a thing.

Lai Ba's intention was obvious, that is, to restore this very difficult trade route that had been established, and only in this way could they live a good life in the mountains without fighting, with no taxes and no labor.

The people on Yuanshan must die, this is the premise, only by handing over the murderer, the people of Doushaguan will forgive these nearby mountain people, in fact, many people understand a truth, the closer to the towns, the more kind people are, and the more they are in the poor mountains and bad waters, the more fierce the people's customs are. The region determines the people's customs!

Yuanshan is indeed very far away, more than 300 miles away from Dousha Village, half of which is in the territory of the Tubo people, half of which is in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the black water department of Tubo on the opposite side is very fierce, so the thieves of Yuanshan generally do not dare to rob the cattle and sheep of the Tubo people, and can only pay attention to the cowardly Song people.

"Lai Ba, you yourself know that this riot has made everyone in Dousha Pass full of anger towards you, if anyone dares to contact you at this time, it is estimated that everyone will be spurned, Liu Dutou does not dare, he is now the county governor of Dousha County, for the sake of the past, he did not invite the Yongxing Army to participate in the extermination of you, it is already very rare."

Yun Zheng's words are reasonable, you have hatred, and the people in Dousha Pass also have hatred, and you can't forget the tragic situation of Dousha Pass being killed by them because of pity for you.

Lai Ba let out a long sigh, and arched his hand at Yun Zheng and was about to leave, Yun Zheng picked up the salt bag from the ox cart and threw it to Lai Ba and said, "Unless those thieves entrenched in Yuanshan are killed, you will never have a chance to have any contact with the people outside the mountain." ”

Lai Ba took the salt bag, shook his head and said: "We can't beat the Yuanshan people, they are very powerful, and there are many people, this is all fate, just die in the mountains!" ”

Seeing that Lai Ba was about to leave again, Yun Zheng said with a smile: "You have lived in this mountain all the year round, don't you have any contact with the Heishui people on the other side of the mountain?" ”

"Why contact them? They are poor and dirty, they have nothing but cattle and sheep, sometimes they will exchange a little salt with us, and exchange meat for meat, the bag of salt you give me can be exchanged for a cow, their cattle cannot plough the land, they can only milk and eat meat, we rely on the mountains and do not lack meat, so we generally do not deal with them, you ask what this is for, they are fierce and poor, there is nothing good, it is not worth your concern! “

After Lai Ba finished speaking, he looked at Yun Zheng suspiciously, not knowing why Yun Zheng asked about the Tubo Black Water Department.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are a tribe, they are a group of herders living in Heishui, and in order to fight against nature, they naturally choose to live in groups.

Hundreds of years ago, Songtsen Gampo unified Tibet, which gave Tibet a clear national concept, but this concept changed with the oral tradition of the Tibetan people, and after Guru Padmasambhava entered Tibet, his theory replaced the glory of Songtsen Gampo, so that the entire Tibetan regime was held by the secular power, and slowly approached the divine power.

As a result, the cohesion of the country has disappeared, everyone believes in Buddhism, and gradually forgets the concept of the state.

Yun Zheng loved this ignorant and brave nation to death.

Ignorance means that it is easy to deceive, and courage means that it can be used, mother, two catties of salt for a cow, if this is in Bianliang City, Tokyo, it will cause riots, what is the meaning of no shortage of meat? If Da Song didn't have something like tofu to provide everyone with enough protein, guys like Wu Dalang would be everywhere, and only idiots like Lai Ba would think it was unprofitable.

It is a felony to slaughter a cultivated cow in the Great Song Dynasty, even the emperor has no chance to eat much beef, so many heroes in legendary stories say at every turn, Xiao Er, give Lao Tzu five catties of beef! This is pure nonsense, if you kill a cow and try it, you will immediately be exiled for a thousand miles with a tattoo on your face.

When Lai Ba said that two catties of salt were exchanged for a cow, the delicious beef jerky immediately entered his mind, and when he thought of beef jerky, the saliva in Yun Zheng's mouth continued to secrete.

You must not do this, two catties of salt for one cow in other people's homes, it is harmful to personal morality, and God will not forgive such a black-hearted profiteering, so Yun Zheng decided to raise the price to three catties!
