Chapter 561: The Thief in the Road

However, Zhang Zhongjun, who was deaf and clear-sighted, suddenly heard a whisper from under the col when he passed through a mountain col:

"Big brother, why did you let us hide it tightly? That kid is only alone, and he is riding a high-headed horse, it is a fat sheep! Why didn't our brothers rob him?"

"Idiot, didn't you see the other party wearing an eight-rank official uniform?!"

"What about the eighth-rank official? Just kill the official to increase the prestige of our gang!"

"Damn! If you want to die, don't bother Lao Tzu and the other brothers! You just happened to kill officials to increase your prestige?

"Don't fight, don't fight, what's going on, big brother?"

"Damn, teach you to be a good teacher! As long as you take refuge in the government, you can get the official body of a nine-rank official, and even more so an eight-rank official!

"But, doesn't it mean that a samurai doesn't wear official uniforms even if he has official qualities? And doesn't it mean that the imperial examination officials and the affairs officers are weak chickens? He looks like a little kid, can he have the strength of a samurai?!"

"Damn, you see that he dares to go out alone, looking left and right for a good and uneasy appearance, do you think he will be the official of the imperial examination and the affairs officer?!"

"Uh, yes, it's just a nine-rank official going out, and there will be a few servants with him, where will there be an official who is wandering around! Hey, hey, it's still a big brother, otherwise we will be unlucky to provoke such a master." ”

"Well, sober me up in the future, shut up for me! Don't let him find out about us!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhongjun frowned, raised his eyes, and could vaguely see several men hiding in the grass with their heads shrunken, but since they didn't provoke themselves, they didn't bother to provoke them, so they rode their horses and galloped by.

That's right, Zhang Zhongjun doesn't have such a righteous and awe-inspiring heart, and he won't rush to solve it as soon as he sees a bad thing, he is used to it if you don't provoke me, and it has nothing to do with us, if you provoke me, you are a good person and you have to get you.

Of course, this has something to do with the aristocratic education he has carried out since he was a child, and it is also related to the fact that he has never seen many cruel and tragic things, and more to do with his lack of strength.

Like the last time he was an idler, when he encountered the massacre of the village, he was not strong enough, so he could only help bury the corpses, and he couldn't do it to kill those murderers, and save those villagers when other idlers were killing.

Like now, if Zhang Zhongjun had the cultivation of a captain, he would definitely arrest these thieves, but now he is, I dare not say that everyone has this strength, but at least if he comes out to mix, he should reach this point. So if you go to arrest someone, you will really rob people after you say that you can't expose your strength, and then you will be miserable.

After all, Zhang Zhongjun is the kind of person, I have strength, I am safe and secure, then I have no problem at all in eliminating harm for the world, and you want me to give up my life to eliminate harm for the world? Dream about it! Anyway, there is nothing in this world that is worth fighting for with his life, do you still think it is in the imperial world? There are many people and things there that are worth fighting for with his life, but this world has nothing to worry about, who is worth fighting for with his life?

After leaving the ambush point, Zhang Zhongjun turned his head to look, and the thieves just got up and looked this way, and the two sides looked at each other, and they were so frightened that they hid back in the grass again.

But at this moment, Zhang Zhongjun had already seen their clothes, which were exactly the appearance of local farmers, not even the appearance of scoundrels in the town.

It's just that these guys, let's say they are ignorant, obviously they know that those who wear official uniforms can't rob, and say they know, and they dare to be robbers.

Don't you know that the locals are robbers, and in the realm where gangs exist, it is completely an act of looking for death?

Only the kind of strong thief who grabs a place and immediately transfers can continue to do the profession of robber, and those who want to occupy a place to be the king of mountains and water will be exterminated by the local gangs!

However, Zhang Zhongjun is strange again, it stands to reason that under the strict monitoring of Fengwutang, there are no robbers in the countryside at all!

Yes, it is very difficult to find robbers in villages ruled by various gangs, and if anyone dares to act in that place, the local gangs will be exterminated at the first opportunity.

On the contrary, masked robbers hiding in huge cities, as long as they do not leave evidence and are not caught by officials, patrolmen, and city guards, they can still exist in style for many years.

In other words, if you really want to be more secure, the countryside is much more stable than the city. But the vast majority of people will not see this, and one or two people with a little money want to move to the city and settle down.

As for why this is the case, it is easy to think about it, the countryside is based on villages and towns as a gathering place, in addition to villages and towns, there is a gang hidden in the barren mountains and wilderness, which is easy to discover, as long as the local gang orders, these gangs can be found and destroyed at any time. As for the villages and towns, outsiders are very eye-catching at all, and outsiders can't hide them.

And what about the city? Because the cities of this world are very huge, there are hundreds of thousands of permanent residents in the county seats, and the prefecture has a permanent population of several million, and it is really easy for such a huge city to hide a large number of thieves and robbers, as long as the whereabouts can be concealed, as long as there is no major incident when the stolen goods are sold, and then find a few powerful backers to protect it, it is really easy to become an illegal organization that has existed for decades and has not been exterminated.

Therefore, now that there are thieves outside the city, does that mean that the dominance of Fengwutang has declined?

Just thinking about this question, Zhang Zhongjun suddenly stopped his horse, took out a map from his arms, and after checking it, he couldn't help but scold: "Damn! I have already entered the jurisdiction of the Water Forest District, could it be that Fengwutang directly threw away the jurisdiction of the Water Forest District, so there are thieves in his meow?!"

Zhang Zhongjun put away the map a little speechlessly, his own idea is very likely to appear, Fengwutang inexplicably carved out five towns as a district, and then handed it over to the government, they drained the power of these five towns, what happened in these five towns has nothing to do with Fengwutang, but has something to do with himself, the district head!

Damn, what happened to Fengwutang? Need such an urgent contraction force? Even cut out five towns of their own territory to the government, thinking that they would do this, it must be a very important matter, so big that they are willing to hand over the territory to the government!

"Damn, it seems that Lao Tzu, the district chief, is not here to be leisurely, but to suffer!" Zhang Zhongjun scolded helplessly, and hurried to Nanlin Town.
