"Maniacs demolished temples and desecrated the land of Buddhism...... My Qingliang Temple suffered this catastrophe, nearly a hundred years of hard work, destroyed in one fell swoop, and please Zhizhou Lord for us to make the decision! ”

In the face of hundreds of monks' accusations of blood and tears, Zhang Shibi is also as big as a fight, recently his yamen can be lively, every day or two people will cry and rush in, all of them come to him to sue the brotherhood. When Zhang Shibi first arrived in Lingzhou, he used a few cases to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and established the image of a clean official who is not afraid of the powerful and makes decisions for the people, but now it has become a burden.

For the affairs of the brotherhood, Zhang Shibi is now also in a hurry, the brotherhood is developing faster than he originally expected, and he is acting more and more domineering, embezzling other people's properties, colluding with black and white, coercing the people, bribing officials and officials, doing huge business, but not paying a penny of taxes and silver, and the tax officials who dare to collect taxes are beaten one by one with blue noses and swollen faces, or they have received the benefits of the brotherhood and secretly do things for the brotherhood.

Zhang Shibi felt that his position in Zhizhou was facing a huge challenge, but he was helpless for a while, and the staff in the palace had no good solution.

Regarding the accusations of the monks of Qingliang Temple, Zhang Shibi can only temporarily fool the past, the Qingliang Temple has been demolished, even if he wants to try this case, for him, the Zhizhou, the brotherhood completely treats him as non-existent, and ignores it at all, even if Zhang Shibi orders to take people, those errand officers dare not go.

So, Zhang Shibi could only appease the monks and give them some silver taels, so that they could temporarily go to other monasteries to place orders.

"Since Lord Zhizhou can't take these fanatics, the poor monks can only go to Middle-earth and invite my Buddhist monks to come and administer justice!" The monk was unwilling to give up and planned to find a way to solve it himself.

"If there are eminent monks who can subdue these boys, it will be a great merit!"

Zhang Shibi made a look of gratitude, if the great monks of Buddhism can subdue the children of the brotherhood, let these children repent, or become monks, it will naturally be better. However, he just had some luck thoughts, how can things be so simple, these boys are all muddy people, with a white-haired beast, a big group of martial artists, unscrupulous and full of tricks.

Originally, Zhang Shibi thought that the brotherhood would also be composed of some hairy boys, and even if there was that white-haired beast, there were many ways to clean it up. It is impossible for the beast to protect those people in the Brotherhood at all times, so Zhang Shibi also had the idea of using force, so he sent someone to secretly check the Brotherhood in detail, and it didn't matter if he checked it, the results of the investigation scared Zhang Shibi into a cold sweat.

There are no less than 3,000 thugs and warriors in each hall of the Brotherhood, and the specific number may be more, many of which may have inspired Gang Qi, as long as you pick up the weapon, this is an elite soldier, not to mention the other members of the Brotherhood, as well as the people with relevant interests, are all standing with them, even if a few great monks with high martial arts come to play, how much effect can it play?

In fact, the best way is to educate these boys and make them subordinate to the government, but these boys don't sell the accounts of literati at all, and they don't abide by all kinds of morality on the rivers and lakes.

The last trick of "suing the parents" doesn't work, the brotherhood is not one person, but a group of people, and the families of those boys don't have much binding force on this group of boys.

Roughly estimated, if the Brotherhood makes a fuss, it can mobilize tens of thousands of people casually, and in the face of such an organization, it is no longer enough to describe Zhang Shibi's feelings, it can be said that he is sitting on a volcanic crater, God knows when, these boys will have convulsions.

Mobilize troops to forcibly sweep out the Brotherhood? If that's the case, he's the governor of the state will also come to an end, besides, Zhang Shibi is a civil official, although he can mobilize troops and horses, he has to rely on military generals to fight, he has been here for a year or two, his foothold is not stable, he is not familiar with the military affairs of Lingzhou, and the relationship with the Zhennan general Zong Zhengkui is not harmonious, and he does not know what the other party has to do when it comes to the issue of dealing with the brotherhood.

Besides, the brotherhood hides a lot of eyeliner, and it is estimated that the government will be the first to know what the government does, and it is not easy to sweep it away, and if it is not done, it will be a civil unrest.

You have to think of something to subdue these boys and let them know about the existence of the royal law! And without further ado, it must be as soon as possible, before the Brotherhood has grown to the point where no one can control it, otherwise Lingzhou will really be out of the control of the imperial court! Zhang Shibi secretly made up his mind, and at this time, a secret report about the Brotherhood came, and the Brotherhood suddenly mobilized a lot of people, I don't know why?

Zhang Shibi was taken aback, for fear that the Brotherhood would make a big deal that was difficult to clean up, until he got the exact news that a robber had robbed the Brotherhood's goods, and the Brotherhood was going to lead people to attack the robbers' cottage, Zhang Shibi breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time wondered, what kind of wind did these boys smoke?

Not only Zhang Shibi, many people in Lingzhou are paying attention to the movements of the Brotherhood, and the news that the Brotherhood is going to attack the robber cottage spreads, and many people are waiting to see the excitement to see what these boys want to do? As a result, the Brotherhood moved so slowly, and a few days after the news spread, the more than 500 people of the Brotherhood surrounded a mountain unhurriedly.

The ancient profession of robbers is quite prosperous in Lingzhou, one is because the people are fierce and the life is difficult, and the other is because Lingzhou is mountainous, and it is convenient to occupy the mountain as the king, Lingzhou's commerce is not developed, but there are many smugglers, and the business of blocking the road and looting is not bad, some big households are also full of oil and water, and some robbers themselves are cultivated by some big households, so it is convenient to do some shady things.

The risk of the profession of robber is higher, if you are used to it, it is the same thing, although it is a knife on the edge of the life, the head is pinned to the waistband of the trousers, and it is not always to fight to death, when the profession of robbers forms some rules, it has become what people often say green forest road.

Because of the existence of some rules, between the robbers and the robbed, a unique ecology has gradually formed, the most common is the guild escorting goods, robbers robbing, the two sides are hostile, but also interdependent, if there is no robbers to rob, who will ask the guild to escort?

Once the two sides meet, generally according to some conventional rules, the first is of course a competition of force, not to fight to the death, but to compare with each other to test the level of each other's martial arts. If you can't beat it, you will naturally admit it, but the other party will not kill them all, and will generally let them live. If you can fight, you can't fight hard, but you have to give some money, and the other party will say some scenes, saying how someone is righteous, and so on, everyone is happy.

Therefore, in the rivers and lakes of the circle of Green Forest Road, there are often some guilds whose martial artists are extremely famous, not necessarily good at martial arts, but they must be very good at being people. In the same way, some robbers who kill people and oversell goods can also gain a chivalrous reputation and some resounding names because they can be people.

As for the good guys and bad guys, they are incompatible with robbers, fight to the death, etc., they are all things that only children believe, and adults don't like that, but another set of more realistic rules.

Xiao Tianlei's cousin Xiao Qingyang is working in the guild, and he has listened to him since he was a child, and knows some of the inside stories, but Xiao Tianlei came to attack the robber cottage this time, but he will not play that with the robbers, and he is not just, chivalrous, etc., he is just to earn gold coins, and by the way, clean up the roads in Lingzhou, as for the goods being robbed is just an excuse, it is logical for the robbers to rob the goods.

Keshanzhai in Nankeshan, Annan County is the first target Xiao Tianlei chose, the terrain of Nankeshan is not dangerous, and Keshanzhai is only a small cottage with only 100 people.

According to Xiao Tianlei's habit of doing things, the first time to attack the cottage, of course, first pick a simple deal, according to the idea of ordinary people, a hundred and ten people of the cottage, pick a dozen or so martial arts masters, directly rush up the mountain, break the village and cut people, at most it is a matter of less than an hour, however, Xiao Tianlei's purpose is not to attack Ke Shanzhai itself, but to carry out actual combat teaching, in the process of attacking Ke Shanzhai, find some problems that may be encountered, and then everyone think of ways to verify their feasibility and pros and cons one by one.

At the beginning, the robbers of Keshanzhai were still frightened because they were surrounded, and they also knew about the power of the brotherhood, and the other party came several times the number of people, as a result, the brotherhood didn't know what the hell to do, and used some stupid methods to attack the cottage, the cottage didn't have a, but many people were injured, and the robbers of Keshanzhai suddenly became arrogant, and some minions were all kinds of abuse on the wall of the cottage.

"Mao didn't grow up to learn to fight! Hahaha, boy, go home and nurse! ”

"Alas! Do you not know that you will attack from behind? ”

"How do you give the other side an idea?"

"These boys are so stupid, I can't help it! If I tell them, I don't necessarily listen. ”

"It's like, those are some dead brains!"

…………

The news here in Nankeshan also spread, and they all knew that the boys of the Brotherhood wanted to learn from the generals in the battlefield story, attacking the walled city, five or six hundred people, surrounding a cottage of one hundred and ten people, fighting for several days, and not attacking it, making those robbers anxious for them, and it suddenly became a joke.

No matter what the outside says, Xiao Tianlei led a group of people to follow the steps, their eyes were not only on Keshanzhai, but on many cottages, a group of people were like playing a game, not only with the attacker's thinking to think of a way, or the defender's thinking to conceive, sorting out one by one, fighting each other.

In this way, after staying in Nankeshan for seven days, finally, Keshanzhai did not have much value, Xiao Tianlei led a few brothers to forcibly break in, and took Keshanzhai with a cup of tea.

Even so, the outside world did not have a high opinion of the Brotherhood, and it took several days for five or six hundred people to attack a small cottage and a hundred and ten robbers!

Xiao Tianlei didn't care, repaired for a few days, and then rushed to the next target.

"Brotherhood, don't worry, Lord Zhizhou is too careful, a group of hairy children who like to mess around, you listen, it took seven days to attack a hundred and ten Ke Shanzhai, it's really stupid, I'm happy to kill General Ben! Hahaha! Zhennan General Zong Zhengkui laughed, and his intuition was nothing like this recently.

"It's just that the Brotherhood is arrogant, and there are many complaints in the locality, and the official can't control it, which ......"

Zhang Shibi smiled bitterly, but he thought about it for a long time before he pulled down his face and took the initiative to visit General Zhennan, wanting to see what Zong Zhengkui meant, if he could, ask Zong Zhengkui to come forward and lead the troops to subdue the Brotherhood, however, looking at Zong Zhengkui's appearance, he didn't care about the Brotherhood at all. Zhang Shibi really couldn't figure it out, even if he was a civil official, he knew that it was really not difficult for five or six hundred people to attack a small cottage of one hundred and ten people, at most it was a matter of one day, the group of boys of the Brotherhood spent seven days there, was this group of boys stupid, or was there any reason for it?

"That's not what the general should ask, not in his position and not in his politics, the general just leads the troops to quell the chaos, but unfortunately, now Lingzhou is calm, now is the season to enjoy the flowers, why don't you go to enjoy the scenery together?"

Zong Zhengkui didn't plan to say more on the issue of the Brotherhood at all, to change the topic, he was not a fool, he really wanted him to take the initiative to find trouble with the Brotherhood and stir up civil unrest, and the crime would not fall on him? Of course, Zong Zhengkui is still quite coveted for the Brotherhood's industry, but he hopes that the Brotherhood will cause some trouble, and when the time comes, he will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and he will not only get the Brotherhood's money, industry, and meritorious service, but he will not be promoted and leave the ghost place of Lingzhou. Zong Zhengkui is not in a hurry, according to the current momentum of the brotherhood, sooner or later there will be chaos, but at that time, it was the mistake and omission of Zhang Shibi, the old horseman, and he had nothing to do with it. When the time comes, he will justifiably lead the army to conscript, and a group of boys and some Shanyue barbarians will not worry at all, bring an elite army, and it will not take much effort to wipe it out.

Zong Zhengkui had a good calculation, but he refused to ask, and Zhang Shibi was helpless, so he had to find another way.

For some people's calculations, Xiao Tianlei naturally didn't know, he just acted according to his own plan, and then, in addition to daily affairs, joined in some research and development of warships and artillery, Xiao Tianlei often took a group of brothers to attack the robber cottage and clean up the trade routes in all directions of Lingzhou. Now, after many exercises, the members of the first cadre have basically figured out the various methods of attacking these bandit cottages, which is much simpler and basically will not cause any damage. They were not completely blatant in attacking the cottages, and some of the villages on the trade route to the north were also cleaned up, that is, in secret, and then some Shanyue people were stationed in them.

After working for a few months, Xiao Tianlei naturally earned a lot of system gold, and successively gave some brother hero templates.

The road is lively, the sea is not calm, there will be some ships on the Canghai Alliance's side, I don't know if it's a temptation, or other reasons, in short, the Sea Shark Gang has been attacking each time to keep Qionghai under the control of the Sea Shark Gang. As a result, the name of the Sea Shark Gang also spread, most businessmen know that Qionghai is the territory of the Sea Shark Gang, and the Sea Shark Gang will not rob, but some tolls will be levied, the amount is not much, but it is acceptable, after all, the Sea Shark Gang maintains a safe waterway from Lingzhou to Yuezhou, and a little farther away, it is the territory of the Canghai League. The merchants were also shrewd and did not go to Yazhou, but transported the goods from Lingzhou to Yuezhou, and then by land and water, although it was a little farther, but the impact was not great.

The impact of the Canghai Alliance on Xiao Tianlei's annual trip to Yazhou is great, the waterway to Yazhou is blocked, and artillery and warships cannot be built in a short time, even if they are built, it is not known how much power they can exert, what about this year's tobacco, dragon's blood wine, and perfume business?

Xiao Tianlei didn't feel embarrassed for long, he came up with an idea, in the name of the Sea Shark Gang, to establish a Qionghai Sea City on the Qionghai Sea, so that he didn't have to go far to Yazhou and take that risk. I can still pretend to be an overseas merchant to transport tobacco, dragon's blood wine, perfume and other things, anyway, now we all know that these are overseas products, who will go overseas to verify? And how to verify?

Selling these goods on your own turf is obviously much safer, more secretive, and more profitable if you do it well!

Not long after, many merchants in Lingzhou received a post from the Sea Shark Gang, saying that a sea market had been established on the Qionghai Sea and everyone was welcome to trade. This place is still located in an archipelago, not a sea market with an uncertain location like Yazhou, but it is intended to be fixed, and the naval army in Lingzhou is rotten, there is no threat, so there is no need to be afraid at all.

The first batch of merchants who came to trade in Qionghai Sea City, among which the main ones were the Brotherhood, and they could be regarded as cheering for themselves, of course, most of the Brotherhood did not know the inside story, and the Brotherhood sold some goods outside the quota in the Sea Market. In addition, Xiao Tianlei also asked the people on the side of Conch Bay to pretend to be overseas merchants, transported some strange commodities for sale, and went to the small countries in the west to transport some special products.

Everything is going very smoothly, and I believe that the next time I and others pretend to be overseas businessmen and transport tobacco and other goods to Qionghai City, it will not be abrupt. There is no need to go to Yazhou by sea, take that risk, and many preparations do not need to be so urgent, Xiao Tianlei originally planned to go all the way north with his brothers to attack the cottage on the trade road to Rongzhou, but because of one incident, Xiao Tianlei temporarily changed his mind and decided to go to the capital of Great Xia - Shendu.
