At this time, twenty miles northwest of the county seat, it is on Qingcheng Mountain.

A black-faced man in his thirties sits on a chair in the cottage hall.

The black-faced man was burly and dressed in short clothes. He wore a cloak of animal skins over his shoulders. He has a deep scar on his face from the left eyebrow to the right corner of his mouth, which makes him look vicious.

This man with scabies on his face, named Shishi, turned out to be a butcher who killed pigs in the county. He quarreled with people in the market ten years ago. He stabbed the other party to death with a knife and provoked a murder lawsuit, so he fled to Qingcheng Mountain, and became a bandit after falling into the grass.

This stone is already vicious. In addition, after he kills people, he is even more evil. He soon became the great leader of Qingcheng Mountain.

Because Shi Shi was still in a murder lawsuit, he did not dare to oppose the government in public. Usually, he would take a dozen brothers up the mountain, and every three or five days, grab some money on the official road.

The stone is very discreet. Whenever he commits a crime, he has to deal with it first. He is not greedy for robbery. In case of danger, he will leave immediately.

Therefore, his base camp on Qingcheng Mountain has not been destroyed by officers and soldiers for several years. It's a business with no capital. The money he received was divided among his brothers. Eat fragrant and drink spicy. Life is very pleasant.

However, these days, cottage days, are not easy to live in.

The reason is that a month ago, a group of bandits came to Heihuling and robbed several caravans including the Lu family.

This group of robbers in Black Tiger Ridge is different from the robbers of stone. They are not petty criminals. They are the robbers of Black Tiger Ridge, who specialize in robbing rich and powerful merchants.

The robbers in Heihuling robbed people who had the ability near Shunde Mansion, of course, these people were not easy to mess with. They not only alarmed the Fu Yin, but also the imperial court.

Soon, Zhao Jiajun was sent to suppress the bandits.

It turned out that Heihuling was more than 100 miles away from Qingcheng Mountain, which was quite far.

Therefore, the stone did not think that this incident had much of an impact on their cottage.

However, it is said that just a few days ago, on the way to suppress bandits in Heihuling, the Zhao family army was ambushed in Qinglong Mountain.

This is a bad thing.

The Zhao family army was attacked at the foot of Qinglong Mountain. Of course, they won't rest on their laurels. The army surrounded Qinglong Mountain, and bandits and mountain bandits were surrounded and suppressed.

I didn't find it in Qinglong Mountain. Zhao Jiajun went to the surrounding mountains to look for it.

The stone has been in Qingcheng Mountain for many years. I have not heard of robbers in Qinglong Mountain.

Within a radius of 100 miles, there is only a group of bandits in Qingcheng Mountain Stone.

Where did the bandits of Qinglong Mountain and Black Tiger Ridge come from, which made Shi confused.

But he is a man who can see the situation clearly.

Shi knew that the bandits of Black Tiger Ridge and Qinglong Mountain were not the same group of people as the bandits of Qingcheng Mountain. Those bandits are no ordinary bandits. They did a lot of work. On a normal day in Qingcheng Mountain, they are all small in scale and cannot be compared with others.

It's just that Qingcheng Mountain is not very far from Qinglong, only a dozen miles away. Shi was worried that Zhao Jiajun would come to them and let these people on Qingcheng Mountain become ghosts for the dead.

So he took his brothers down the mountain and hid.

Stayed at the foot of the mountain for three to five days. I heard that the Zhao family's army left and went to Heihuling in Shunde Mansion. The stone called the brothers back to the cottage.

However, when he returned, the stone found a fatal problem.

Stone discovers that they can't do anything more robbing people lately.

Although the Zhao family army is stationed in Heihuling, the wind is still very tight now. If they do a vote and someone reports to the government, it is likely that the Zhao family army will be brought here.

The dozen or so people in their cottage are no different from homeless people. Where is the opponent of a regular army like Zhao Jiajun who went to the battlefield

This is tantamount to digging your own grave.

However, most of them are mountain bandits, and when they have money in their daily lives, they go to the kiln casino in town. They spent all their money.

Now, there is no life, there is no food to eat, and in a day or two, the brothers under the stone hand begin to complain.
