The old man didn't expect to hear this righteous and awe-inspiring remark from the mouth of the Jiang Yang thief, and he was slightly stunned, "I didn't expect you to have a little national righteousness!" ”

"I can't talk about righteousness, but I still have a little conscience!"

"Humph! What a pity! Even if you don't take this money, you won't need it to fight against the Japanese! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"This batch of military salaries will be transported to the barracks, and if you make a handover record, it will be pulled to the treasury of the Yan family father and son, and Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, will naturally find a way to do the rest, don't you know? Over the years, the silver of the household department has flowed into the treasury of the Yan Mansion in this way! ”

The wine and wealth are all people from the rivers and lakes, and they naturally don't understand these unsightly things in the court, but when they heard this, they were also angry, "Hmph, what a faint traitor!" ”

Seeing that they were a little baitted, the old man hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and said: "What I said is that instead of cheapening traitors like the Yan family's father and son, it is better for us to take it, but it is also a good thing to rob the rich and help the poor!" ”

Anger is anger, but if they are really allowed to rob the army, they have to weigh it carefully, after all, they have been mixed in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and they are not coaxed forward to death by someone in three or two sentences! Although the silver is tempting, robbing the military salary is not a small case, not to mention what the end will be if you go against the imperial court, just say that the 100,000 taels of military salary will definitely be escorted by a large number of officers and soldiers, and let the four of them deal with hundreds of officers and soldiers, it is simply ants shaking the tree!

The man saw their concerns and said: "If you are worried about the problem of manpower, you can rest assured, I have arranged everything, those officers and soldiers were poisoned in advance, and when they arrived at the designated place, the effect of the medicine was just attacked, you just need to do it, and when the time comes, we will add two to five!" ”

Wu Dayong heard the loophole in this person's words and asked: "If the officers and soldiers are all fed poison by you, why do you bother looking for us, just a few people can rob the military salary!" ”

"Such a big thing, if it is revealed, it will be a catastrophe, so naturally you have to find someone who is sure to cooperate, your 'wine and wealth' is famous in the imperial court's sea fishing documents, and everyone's head is worth hundreds of taels of silver, am I right? Jiangnan famous prostitute Green Peony, crazy scholar Wu Dayong, Amiable Wealth Boss Xiao, and Crow Lu Weihou in the sky! ”

Hearing that the old man accurately said the true identities of the four of them, everyone was horrified, they only used the name of "wine and wealth" to walk the rivers and lakes, and never dared to reveal their true identities, how did this person know? If their identities are leaked to the government, or announced to the rivers and lakes, then it will be the end of the four of them!

Just now he said Xiao Tong's true identity, Xiao Tong had a faint uneasiness in his heart, and now it seems that this person is really prepared, "You know the four of us well, and we don't know anything about you, if you want to cooperate, do you report your name first?" ”

"Thousand-faced Lang-kun!"

Hearing this name, the four people were even more frightened, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that this "Thousand-faced Langjun" was good at disguise changes, no one had seen his true face, and he was a Jiangyang thief who was worse than their "wine and wealth", and this person had disappeared from the rivers and lakes for four or five years, and many people speculated that he was dead! The four of them glanced at each other, and they all knew that this matter must not be easily agreed, so they said: "Thank you seniors for looking up to us, but this matter is not trivial, we still need to sum it up!" ”

When Qianmian Langjun heard this, his palm moved up his internal force, "Time waits for no one, if you don't want to do it, I'll go find someone else!" ”

Hearing a murderous intent in his voice, the four of them became alert, this person's martial arts are unfathomable, they are by no means opponents, and such a big thing as robbing the army salary, how can there be a truth preached everywhere, I am afraid that if they don't agree to him, the four of them will be dead in this land temple tonight.

Xiao Tong hurriedly said: "Since the predecessors have found us, why bother the second one, we will never be able to get along with the silver when we are wine-colored and wealthy, and we will take this deal!" ”

"Good! Since you have accepted this deal, there is no reason to go back, if there is any mistake, don't blame me for not talking about morality, as for the specific time and place, I will inform you separately! After speaking, the thousand-faced Langjun flew out of the Land Temple like a ghost, and disappeared into the vast night in a blink of an eye.

Green Peony gritted his teeth angrily and said indignantly: "Are we at his mercy?" ”

Xiao Tong shook his head helplessly, "Who let our handle be in his hands, and we can't beat him, what can we do if we don't let him be at his mercy?" ”

Green Peony looked at Wu Dayong and said, "Usually you have a lot of ideas, why are you dumb?" ”

Wu Dayong waved his "useless" fan, and said calmly: "Don't be impatient in this matter, don't forget that it is us who rob the army's salary, and when the time comes, the silver will be in our hands, will we still be at his mercy?" ”

The four of them all thought that this was the case, so they all nodded.

Five days later, they received the news that the military salary would arrive at Luohuagang at noon two days later.

What happened that day was very logical, after the officers and soldiers who escorted the military pay arrived at Luohuagang, they all swayed as if they had been poisoned by sweat medicine, and they almost did not waste any effort to slaughter the 200 officers and soldiers who escorted the military salary, but when they opened the box containing the military pay, they found that it was all filled with stones, and they were tricked.

However, although they were angry, there was no substantial loss, they wanted to forget it like this, but two days later, they were chased by Lu Chasing, the chief catcher of Yangzhou City, and they were extremely embarrassed to hide in Tibet, and almost died under Lu Chai's knife!

Later, Lu Chai died inexplicably, and the imperial court had an ambiguous attitude towards the loss of military salaries this time, they thought that they would be able to rain and clear the sky soon, but who knew that Zuo Xian, a Shanyang magistrate, bit them and didn't let go, and finally they had to leave Jiangnan and flee to Mobei to temporarily avoid the limelight.

The four of them have summed it up, it may be that Qianmian Langjun has already stolen the general's salary, but he fooled the four of them to be scapegoats to attract the attention of the imperial court, and after the matter was successful, he unloaded the mill and killed the donkey to reveal their affairs to Zuo Xian, the magistrate of Shanyang!

Two years later, the rumors passed, they returned to Jiangnan and investigated Qianmian Langjun everywhere, but this Qianmian Langjun seemed to have evaporated from the world, until this robbery occurred, the method was similar to that of six years ago, and they suspected that this case was also related to Qianmian Langjun!

Green Peony told Lu Yan what happened six years ago, but hid the true identities of the other three people in the "wine and wealth".

After Lu Yan listened, his voice was a little hoarse, and he asked, "Yangzhou City's chief catcher Lu Chase, did you really not kill him?" ”

Green Peony sneered, "It's all come to this point, whether I admit it or not, I will definitely die, so why lie to you!" ”

What she said is indeed right, at this point, all Green Peony can ask for is to die quickly, so as to suffer less living crimes, but Lu Yan obviously can't just let her go, their Jinyiwei's principle of doing things is to squeeze the last bit of value out of the prisoner, otherwise it will be a dereliction of duty, Lu said: "You confess the identities of the other three people of 'Wine and Wealth', and I will let you die happily!" ”

Blood suddenly flowed from Green Peony's mouth, and the lieutenant next to her hurriedly stepped forward to break open her mouth and stuffed a ball of linen cloth into it, she wanted to bite her tongue and kill herself just now.

"Let the kitchen boil some ginseng soup, be sure to hang her life!" After Lu Yan finished speaking, he turned around and saw that Zhu Yixiang had been paralyzed at the door of the cell with fright, he walked over and stopped beside Zhu Yixiang, and asked condescendingly, "How is the wound on your neck?" ”

Zhu Yixiang looked up at this living Hades, who had a beautiful face, but in his eyes at this time, he only felt that he was so angry that he was going to cramp and skin himself in the next moment, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, so he could only nod and shake his head!

Looking at Zhu Yixiang like this, Lu Yan frowned, as far as Zhu Yixiang's virtue was concerned, what kind of ghost did he get lost in that night, and he actually let this kid take advantage of him! Thinking about it, he felt panicked in his heart, and went out with a wave of his sleeves!

Zhu Yixiang listened to the story of the green peony, and his heart was filled with infinite sympathy, where was they robbing the military salary, they were obviously also victims, coerced by the one called Qianmian Langjun, and the reputation of this "wine and wealth" in Jiangnan is still very good, many poor people regard them as heroes who rob the rich and help the poor, and even many of the restaurant's commentaries tell how they killed the local tyrants and inferior gentry, killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, robbed the rich and helped the poor to get justice for the people, even Zhu Yixiang himself, I also wrote several scripts based on their deeds!

Seeing that the chivalrous girl who was deeply loved by the people fell into the hands of the eagle claws of Jinyiwei for her own reasons, and suffered such a great torture, Zhu Yixiang's heart was really dripping blood, seeing Lu Yan's figure disappearing at the door of the prison, he hurriedly stumbled to the side of Green Peony, and repented while wiping his tears, "Peony girl, I didn't know that you were a chivalrous girl in wine-colored wealth, if I knew, I would ...... Woowoo...... It's all bad for Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng has hurt you...... Woohoo......"

Green Peony raised her eyes and glanced at Zhu Yi Lane, that glance was full of murderous intent, if it weren't for the fact that she was now full of broken bones, it was estimated that she would have strangled Zhu Yi Lane!

Zhu Yixiang was so frightened by her eyes that he stopped howling, if he wasn't sure that she really couldn't move now, he wouldn't dare to get so close to her, he hurriedly wiped his tears, and said softly: "Peony girl, Xiaosheng has something unclear, please make it clear that Xiaosheng, you have fallen to this point, although there are reasons for Xiaosheng, but I ask myself, there is no fault, if it wasn't for you to send an invitation to me to beautify, it would not have fallen into the hands of Jinyiwei, and I have always been sincere to you Peony girl, even if I know that you are a Jiangyang thief, I'm still thinking about how I can save you, what is it about Xiaosheng that makes you so hateful to girl, and you want me to die? ”

Hearing these words, in addition to killing intent, Green Peony's eyes were more sad and sad, and she withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him.

"Peony girl, if you don't tell me, I won't be blind even if I die!" Zhu Yixiang wanted to reach out and take away the linen cloth in the green peony's mouth, but the jailer hurriedly stopped him, "This linen cloth can't be taken away, in case he bites his tongue and commits suicide, you and I have to accompany him to the Yellow Spring!" ”

Zhu Yixiang looked at the jailer with a pleading face: "I can't just ask?" ”

The jailer said categorically: "No! ”
