17. Old accounts
Seven years ago, Huang Ruowen, as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, was sent to Jiangbei to supervise the construction of the embankment, and colluded with the local governor and embezzled most of the money for the construction of the dam. The resulting new levee is just a spectacle, looking new on the outside, but not much better than the old one.
In the first summer, there were no problems with the embankment due to favorable winds.
But the next year, there was a big increase in the amount of water and a small flood.
Since the flood was not severe, the old dikes were able to stop it, and most of the places did not have problems.
However, in Zuoyang County under the rule of Jiangbei, the old embankments were basically useless, and the newly built ones had no practical effect. As a result, the river dam burst and flooded a large amount of fertile land, causing serious casualties among the people.
The people who survived are also facing the situation of being displaced and having to be displaced.
Huang Ruowen and Zhizhou in Jiangbei united and put all the blame on the county magistrate of Zuoyang County. It is said that the county order of Zuoyang County fills the pockets, and only the quality of that section of the river embankment is problematic, which leads to the occurrence of floods.
The emperor was furious and punished the three clans of Zuoyang County.
And the county magistrate of Zuoyang County at that time was Lu Da, the good brother of Guo Jiang, the leader of Wanshan.
Guo Jiang was born in a wealthy family of squires and learned martial arts since childhood.
When he grew up, he was righteous and made friends, and he had a good reputation in ten miles and eight towns.
In order to avenge his friend, Guo Jiang couldn't find Huang Ruowen, who was far away in the capital, so he killed Jiangbei, cut off Zhizhou's head with a knife, and then fled north with his family.
It's just that on the way to escape, the family members died and wounded. After all the immediate family members were killed by the pursuers, Guo Jiang had no need to escort his relatives, so he prepared to turn around and kill the pursuers behind him.
This is one of the friends Guo Jiang has ever made, and one of them came to the rescue with Guo Jiang and Guo Jiang's few remaining clansmen and fled into the nearby Wanshan.
There was originally a group of small mountain bandits on Wanshan who made a living by robbing houses and houses, but they were just a face, and they were beaten down by Guo Jiang and Guo Jiang's friends and taken into their pockets.
Later, relying on the dangerous terrain of Wanshan, he forcibly defeated all the pursuers.
Later, the new Zhizhou took office, and Guo Jiang's matter was over.
In the next 5 years, friends led by Guo Jiang slowly developed Wanshan.
The heroes who were oppressed by the local officials in the vicinity were all included in Wanshan's ranks.
Wanshan is getting stronger and stronger, and the fame is spreading farther and farther, and gradually many people take the initiative to vote.
There are even some officials who have been oppressed in the military camp and the court, and their lives are hanging by a thread, will also take the initiative to join the Wanshan Gate.
Today's Wanshan can be regarded as the entire Jiangbei, and even the whole country! The biggest gang of mountain bandits.
And Guo Jiang, who was chased like a lost dog 5 years ago, has become a terrifying bandit leader.
However, he has never forgotten his hatred for Huang Ruowen.
Huang Lewen not only harmed his brother, but also indirectly caused his wife to be separated.
So after learning the news that Huang Ruowen was going back to his hometown for the funeral, he kept paying close attention and looking for an opportunity to start.
knew that Huang Ruowen was going from Huiyang County to Yanghe County, passing through the boundary of Wanshan.
So he brought 2 times the elite of the dart master to surround Huang Ruowen, and there was this scene that Tang Yan saw now.
However, Tang Yan shook his head.
Although there are also strategists on the mountain, the number is small, and there are still many reckless men on the mountain, and the strategists can't persuade those fools at all.
She has watched the world plot and knows that Guo Jiang is a trick this time.
Huang Ruowen is an old fox, and he has never forgotten how his predecessor Jiangbei Zhizhou died. I also know that the culprit is now the leader of Wanshan.
Although it is not certain whether the leader of Wanshan will still remember him, for the sake of safety, Huang Ruowen secretly got out of the car as early as the departure of the dart bureau and took his son and cronies to ride around the small road to Yanghe County.
And the middle-aged man and the little boy sitting in the carriage were just stand-ins found by Huang Ruowen.
But in order not to show too many feet, the 4 people in the other female carriage were Huang Ruowen's concubines and daughters, but these 4 innocent women didn't know that they were half-abandoned by their husbands/fathers.
Tang Yan was a little suddenly enlightened.
No wonder the ladies are always chatting in the carriage, and the atmosphere is normal.
In the carriage of the middle-aged man and the young man, the two of them kept their eyes closed and basically didn't say a word, which seemed very estranged.
I thought it was because of the strict father in ancient times, which led to the lack of closeness between father and son, but it turned out that it was not father and son at all!
So no matter how many people Guo Jiang brings today, he will definitely not be able to take revenge.
It's just that in the original plot, Guo Jiang not only didn't take revenge, but because he was eager for revenge, he was shot through the chest by Huang Ruowen's good hand left behind.
After being taken back to the mountain, he was in a coma for a day and a night before dying completely.
And the successor Meng Songshu, who was born orthodox, because his wife was bullied by a certain second-generation official, he had to kill the other party and throw himself into Wanshan.
However, because of his orthodox background, this person has always felt that being a mountain bandit is not like this.
So when the orthodox Liu Yan'an threw an olive branch to him, he tried his best to persuade other brothers to join Liu Yan'an's disciples with him.
It can be said that Liu Yan'an's ability to recover the power of the entire Wanshan is used by him, and the biggest hero is Meng Songshu.
Now Meng Songshu's prestige on the mountain is far inferior to Guo Jiang, but it is also one of the best, if Guo Jiang dies, the next leader must be him.
So for Tang Yan, the advantages of Guo Jiang surviving definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
She had to save people.
In the current chaos, even if Tang Yan stood up and told Guo Jiang that the person in the carriage was not Huang Ruowen, Guo Jiang would not be able to believe it, and a battle would still be inevitable.
Since the scene is destined to be chaotic, if you want to save people, you must have force value.
Tang Yan thought that after changing into the men's clothes of the Golden Sword, her strength and five senses improved in an all-round way, and she could reach a stronger combat power than a normal adult man.
The golden sword is just an ornament, and the machete in another set of men's clothes is a serious combat weapon.
After changing to a man's clothes with a machete, will her combat power increase even more?
Time was pressing, Tang Yan made a quick decision, flew to the nearby jungle, and changed into men's clothes with a knife.
Soon, a young man in his 10s, wearing thin armor and holding a large knife similar to the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, with a long handle and a not short blade, appeared in the jungle of the night out of thin air.
Since Tang Yan's body shape has not changed, the knife is in the proportion of adults.
So this knife is much higher than Tang Yan.
She tried to swing the knife, only to feel that the big knife, which seemed to be not light, was unexpectedly handy.
She tried to throw two more punches, and she could clearly hear the whirring of the wind.
Originally, her strength had increased a lot!
Tang Yan felt that his current combat power might have reached the average level on Wanshan.
As for the specific combat effectiveness, we will have to try it out later.
