Chapter 91: The Green Bamboo Gang
Su Ming didn't stay on the mountain for long, and after going down the mountain, he headed northeast and arrived in Hebei in a few days.
On this day, he rode a horse through the woods, carrying a burden, and walked forward slowly, when suddenly there was a sound of slashing in front of him.
Su Mingyi was bold, drove his horse directly, left the woods, and came to a clearing, only to see a group of people surrounding a train formation.
The group of people was holding a green bamboo, led by a thin old man holding a green bamboo, and next to him, there was a slim girl.
The girl was about fourteen years old, but her appearance was extraordinary, she was stunning, her face was charming, her complexion was fair, her cheeks were flushed, and her bright eyes were full of autumn water.
What a beautiful girl.
Su Ming's eyebrows raised slightly, his gaze swept over these people, and finally landed on the green bamboo in their hands.
It turned out to be the Qingzhu Gang, which is the largest gang in Hebei, with a large number of people and an extremely large local force.
In the future, Yuan Chengzhi became the leader of the Seven Provinces Martial Arts Alliance at the top of Mount Tai, and this Qingzhu Gang was one of his helps.
Then this old man is Cheng Qingzhu, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang, and this girl should be Princess Changping, the princess of Daming, with the pseudonym Ah Jiu.
When Princess Changping was just born, Qin Tianjian told her fortune, saying that if she was pampered in the palace, she would definitely die, so Chongzhen allowed her to wander in the rivers and lakes and learn martial arts.
But while traveling in the rivers and lakes, she saw the people's livelihood and suffering, and she couldn't bear it, and often took out the gold and silver in the palace to help the poor people, but she was a drop in the bucket, and she also saw the signs of the country's demise, but she was helpless.
Suddenly seeing the princess of a country, Su Ming was a little surprised and looked at it, but was seen by Ah Jiu, glared at Su Ming, and withdrew his gaze.
These people surrounded the dart team, and everyone in the dart team was in danger, holding weapons in their hands, and they were too frightened to speak.
Cheng Qingzhu shouted loudly: "Mr. Chen, since you have come to our Hebei border, leave the goods." ”
Chen Darttou, who was the leader, pleaded: "Gang Master Cheng, this is the goods that we have guaranteed for the prefect of Wuchang Mansion, and we want to send them to the capital, if you rob them, your little wife and children will die in the hands of the government." ”
Cheng Qingzhu snorted coldly and said, "You help the dog officials to do things and help the abuse, it is better to distribute the money to the poor people." ”
Cheng Qingzhu is a gang leader who makes a living from robbery, but in essence, he is also a person who thinks about the country.
Cheng Qingzhu's words made Chen Darttou helpless, he said: "Since Cheng Gang Master insists on snatching away the property, we can only desperately protect these property, if we die here, maybe the prefect will not be angry with our family." ”
Cheng Qingzhu didn't speak, beckoned, and said, "Ah Jiu, you try Mr. Chen's martial arts, if Mr. Chen's dart can beat you, then it's okay to let them go." ”
"It's Master."
Ah Jiu held two bamboo poles in his hand and jumped in front of Mr. Chen's dart, and the green bamboo in his hand stabbed out and stabbed at the door of Mr. Chen's dart.
Mr. Chen held a long knife in his hand and slashed at the green bamboo, but the next moment, the green bamboo on the left was withdrawn, and the green bamboo on the right stabbed out.
Mr. Chen's dart head swung with a single knife and swung the green bamboo away, but then the left bamboo arrived, and Mr. Chen's dart head could only be blocked again.
Ah Jiu held a pair of bamboos, the offensive was continuous, and he had the upper hand, and after a while, Mr. Chen's head and knee were painful, and he fell to the ground on one knee.
As soon as he wanted to stand up, the tip of the bamboo in Ah Jiu's hand had already hit the throat of Mr. Chen's dart, and instead of piercing it, he shouted, "You lost." ”
Cheng Qingzhu said with a smile: "Chen Darttou, you lost, and our Qingzhu Gang took away the goods escorted." ”
Mr. Chen gritted his teeth, his face showed a helpless look, sighed, and said: "If the goods are lost, I can't live, so I can only ......."
Speaking of this, Mr. Chen's dart head fit and crashed into the bamboo pole in Ah Jiu's hand.
Seeing this scene, Ah Jiu wanted to take back the bamboo pole, but it was too late, and the bamboo tip stabbed straight into Mr. Chen's neck.
But at the moment when he was about to stab, a breaking sound sounded, opening the green bamboo in Ah Jiu's hand, and Mr. Chen's dart head hit the air and fell to the ground.
Then everyone saw the flying thing, which turned out to be a strange-shaped hidden weapon in the shape of a small snake.
The Qingzhu Gang looked at the direction where the hidden weapon was flying, and saw a young man sitting on a white horse, looking at this side with a smile on his face.
Cheng Qingzhu didn't dare to slack off when he saw this secret weapon kung fu, and arched his hand and said: "Good kung fu, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
When Su Ming heard this, he jumped up from his horse, flew towards this side, he jumped more than a foot away, his body fell, and his footsteps were a little on the green bamboo in the hands of the Qingzhu Gang, and he jumped up again, a few ups and downs, came to Cheng Qingzhu, and said with a smile: "It's called Su Ming." ”
Cheng Qingzhu searched his mind, but he didn't think who this person was, so he asked, "I don't know what your Excellency is taught from?" The old man had never heard of the child's name. ”
Su Ming said with a smile: "I am from the overseas Qingqiu faction, and I just came to the Central Plains, so it's normal for Gang Master Cheng not to know. ”
At this time, Mr. Chen stood up and arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your help, under Chen Yan, please also ask Su Gongzi to call the shots, don't let this goods be snatched away, otherwise the lives of the small family will be lost." ”
Su Ming nodded, looked at Cheng Qingzhu, and said, "Gang Master Cheng, please let this person go." ”
Cheng Qingzhu snorted coldly and said, "Do you know who this cargo is?" ”
Su Ming said with a smile: "I know that this goods belong to the prefect of Wuchang Mansion. ”
Cheng Qingzhu said: "This Governor Liu has done a lot of evil, this batch of goods contains the looted people's fat and people's ointment, which is the people's money, and Governor Liu wants to use this money to open up relationships and promote official positions." How can we send him to the capital? ”
Su Ming asked: "But if this batch of goods is robbed, the family members of the head of the dart and the executioner of the dart master will be killed, and dozens of lives will die because of you." ”
Cheng Qingzhu snorted coldly: "So what? Why should I pity these people who have aided and abused them, and who are not repentant now? I gave the money to the poor so that they could live, and what did the dead people get. ”
Hearing this, Su Ming was a little angry, and asked with a sneer, "You mean, these people deserve to die?" ”
"Not bad." Cheng Qingzhu nodded and said, "In order to save more people for the sake of heaven, what if these people die?" ”
Su Ming snorted and asked, "Then why don't you go and kill Governor Liu?" Since he said that he wanted to do the right thing for heaven, wouldn't it be easier to kill him? ”
Cheng Qingzhu looked at Su Ming, shook his head and said, "Hebei to Wuchang, the road is far away, how can we get there?" Moreover, Governor Liu's mansion is heavily guarded and there are troops stationed, how can we simply kill him? ”
Hearing this, Su Ming was furious.
Although the source of this money is not right, it is robbed from the common people, and this money will promote the official position of Governor Liu, and it will make him harm more people.
But the only problem is that the lives of the families of Mr. Chen's dart head and other dart masters are in the hands of Governor Liu.
If this goods were snatched away, then dozens of lives would have died in the hands of Governor Liu.
Is it worth sacrificing dozens of lives for the sake of more people?
Su Ming thinks it's not worth it, although it can make more people live a good life, but why sacrifice these people?
Aren't these people human?
You can't kill Governor Liu yourself, but you have to deal with the people who are blackmailed by him, what is this?
It's just under the banner of righteousness and Ling Ran to satisfy his selfishness.
Su Ming suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What if I don't agree?" ”
Cheng Qingzhu's eyes narrowed, and he said, "If you don't agree, then the old man will inevitably have to make a move and try your Excellency's martial arts." ”
