Chapter 51: Formal Negotiations?
"Official?" The few men sitting in the main hall couldn't sit still, and the original casual elegance and the smiles of chatting and laughing were locked on their faces.
This "kingdom" of bandits, built on ruins, naturally does not want to be interfered with as a country far from the world.
The man at the head, his burly body standing tall in the air, the cracks in the black cloak that fell on his shoulders, like a begging for food.
This cloak has been with him for many years, and it has not been mended once.
"What are the people from the government doing here?" He said dissatisfied.
"You want me to see it...... This official mansion is definitely full of food and support! ”
"In my opinion, I don't want my eldest brother to be the county magistrate, that old thing still wants to take benefits from us, and I don't know what tricks to play this time. If my brother hadn't stopped me, I would have overthrown those official shelves a long time ago! A slightly strong man in the back said.
"Don't talk nonsense, the government is just hindering state affairs, and a lot of manpower is fighting against the barbarians, if you want to really clean us up, how can we resist.
Besides, my insider informed me that the old official had gone down and had a new master.
This commotion is estimated to be not a whim, but if the conversation is successful, it will go through the motions, and the new official will take office three times. It's good to be pretentious, but if the newcomer doesn't know what to do, then I don't have to be polite......"
"The big boss is right."
"It's the big one!"
"What do you think of Second Master Hu?"
"I ...... I... I also agree with the big bosses. ”
……
"Come on, bring my axe, no matter how many good things you say, those people may not be highly conscious, you must come and get off the horse.
I don't think they're familiar with this place either, so Beard took a dozen people around the back and came for a while.
I'll lead a group of people to have a good chat and see what those government guys want to do! ”
A boy on the side went to the side and took down a pair of axes from the shelf. The axe is also a bit mysterious, and the small, thin man has a hard time picking it up and tiptoeing.
But for a generous man, some strength is not enough to fear.
The axe had a handle, the sides of which had been burned with charcoal, with some sticky gum sap added, and a layer of miscellaneous things had been made.
A pair of axes can be described as full of evil, and the thin boy has some difficulty lifting it, and he looks a little shaky when he stands.
With a decadent look, his teeth were bitten, and his face was flushed.
But the big boss snatched it and took the pair of big axes in his hand as if he were playing.
The skinny boy tried to find a crack to drill into, and felt that he was very incompetent.
"This kid has been on the mountain with us for so many years, and he hasn't seen any improvement. Sure enough, it's still a doll, hahaha! ”
"A few years ago, this little kid ran away from home and shouted to be a thief when he came up to the mountain, and I don't know where this stubborn nature is.
Now I feel twisted and pinched, I don't pay attention to training, and I like to be opportunistic, this kid is clever. ”
……
Many people grinned as they spoke, and they said that they would go out with the big boss.
Since we want to talk, first of all, the momentum can't be weak, although I know that the people on the other side are all ordinary catchers, which are nothing more than adults with a simple knife.
This matter could not be relaxed, and more than 100 people pulled out a line as a reserve for "facing the battle".
More than 100 people, most of them are men, and as bandits, they must have high quality and physical fitness. The mountain is also like this as a bandit, and it is a natural patron of the mountain god.
As "heroes of the green forest", they are familiar with the terrain and are all brave and good at fighting. Naturally, some bandits have a righteous banner and use ill-gotten wealth to help the people.
The Bailai bandits here in Fuyun Mountain are not necessarily a righteous bandit team.
They are all outlaws who make a living, and they respect the big masters only because the big masters make an axe and their martial arts are not bad.
The burly body seems to cover the sky and the sun in this mountain forest, twice as large as an ordinary human skeleton, and looks like a "big brother" style.
Luofeng rode a war horse, and the war horse of the barbarian country was relatively easy to use in his hands, and it felt like entering and exiting his house under the black light.
"Official! We don't know what the officials are here for, although we can't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, but if we borrow a road, we will also give face. ”
"No, I was ordered to negotiate with you."
"Negotiations?" The big boss's brows locked, and the smile on his face instantly turned cold.
Can the government negotiate with you so well? Doesn't the government like to toss them bandits? Why are you talking so well today...... It's definitely either a traitor or a thief!
is not on the surface, secretly thinking about what tricks the government is playing.
"We are also sincere, come on!" With a wave of his hand, a man behind him opened the box that had been placed on the horse's waist.
There are some small cracks in the quaint chest, and there is a layer of silver powder on it, which is the box that Dachang usually collects taxes to hold silver.
There is a small copper lock on the side of the box, which is opened by the key. There was a slight sound, and the box was slowly opened.
This time you can look at the stupid guys in the back, they are also ordinary catchers, and they have nothing to do with this tax collection department.
When did you see so much white silver, how much does it cost to have two layers of white silver, not only to catch the eyes, but even those thieves can't sit still.
"Two hundred taels of silver, and hundreds of catties of food will be sent in the future, I hope you will give me a face and make a political achievement for my family."
"Big ...... Eldest brother...... That's two hundred taels of silver! A man on the side couldn't sit still, they usually grabbed food, and it was rare to see a broken silver.
It's not that I don't want to strengthen these silvers, it's all because the defense is too tight, and there are layers of people to control them.
Those who collect taxes will have a B-level catcher, and there will be some Dachang Royal Praetorian Guards.
These ordinary bandits are not enough in their eyes, and they may only be sent to death.
"I can see ......" The big boss was also a little moved, feeling as if something was running around in his heart, wanting to take the silver in front of him for himself.
"Big brother, why don't we eat black and get him?" The man on the side made a gesture of a blade, and the big boss saw it all in his eyes, and said after careful consideration:
"It's not proper~ If they really have the heart to cooperate, it may not be a good thing to live a good life for this silver.
You also saw the chic of our bandits, but they lived a life of having a meal and no meal, otherwise how could they force the people to eat.
Let's talk about it, and if they don't have sincerity, we'll make another plan. ”
"Yes......" muttered the man on the side.
"Good! Then let's talk, come somebody, give way to the little brother, and invite them to sit in our house. ”
Behind him, a hundred or so people scattered, leaving a narrow passageway.
Those catchers turned dark, if they went, it wouldn't be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, what did they have to do with the money to those outlaws!
Luo Feng was also thinking, and slowly, his face showed calmness, and he decided to enter the thief's mansion and sit down.
