On this day, the county lord went to worship the Buddha.

There is a temple in Bazhong City that is prosperous for making incense, called Wuying Temple. Wuying Temple is located five or six miles outside the northern suburbs of Bazhong City. The temple is not big, it covers an area of seven or eight acres of land, and there are thirty or forty monks.

However, the land of Bazhong has a tradition of believing in Buddhism since ancient times, and it has a long history in this shadowless temple, so it is deeply worshiped by the people.

Lord Xianzun brought a few entourages today, did not take a sedan chair, and only wore civilian clothes, and came to Wuying Temple.

After giving incense money, under the leadership of a monk, the county and others walked into the back hall of the Buddhist temple.

After several turns, I came to a hut.

When the abbot of Wuying Temple saw the county honor, he stood up, folded his hands and recited Amitabha: "The better Cao Tan." ”

The county lord also saluted and said, "The abbot is good." ”

The two sat down to say a few words, and the abbot left.

Several of the county lord's entourage stood outside the door, pretending to look at the scenery, but in fact they were on alert.

The county sat down for a while, and before he finished drinking a cup of tea, a man about thirty-seven or eighteen years old walked in from outside the door. The man looked like a scholar, but his beard was unshaven, and he felt a little like a farmer.

As soon as the man came in, he bowed his hand very respectfully and said, "Hello Lord County." ”

The county lord nodded, pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for him to sit, and the man sat down on the side. As soon as he sat down, the man spoke: "Lord Xianzun, this case is a bit tricky, right?"

The county lord was noncommittal, blowing the floating tea leaves on the tea, taking a sip, and then said: "You have gone a little too far, you said that you would not kill people or rob women, you were okay in the first few years, and you could all comply, but in the past few years, you have killed a lot of people and robbed a lot of women." ”

The man couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "Lord County, the murder and robbery were not done by the people of our Iron Head Gang, but by the second master you sent." He doesn't listen to me at all, and often acts on his own. I really can't control him!"

The county lord did not speak.

The man said, "My lord, I don't blame you. But I told you a long time ago about the second master, and I really can't help it. He's your man, and he gets upset when I talk too much, and threatens me with it... I'm going to ask you to send troops to bring our Iron Heads to the ground.... Your Excellency, you have a good understanding!"

The county lord put down the teacup and said, "Don't be in this yin and yang weirdness." Say something useful, don't talk nonsense. ”

The man sighed lightly and took a cup of tea to drink. Good Chinese

Who would have thought that this man in his thirties, who looked like half a scholar and half a farmer, was actually the leader of the Iron Head Gang who had been suffering from Bazhong City for more than ten years. This strange leader of the Iron Head Gang, who once aimed not to hurt people and not rob women, actually dared to enter the Shadowless Temple in Bazhong City at this cusp of the storm.

Even at this moment, walking in the most populous and prosperous place in Bazhong City, no one would associate him with the brutal and inhuman Iron Heads Gang.

Although, everyone knows that no bad person will write bad words on his face, however, this man looks like he is 108,000 miles away from bandits and thieves.

His real name is actually Zhuang Li, but few people know this real name. All the thieves in the mountains called him a master, and he rarely told others his name. Except for the county zun and a few henchmen on the mountain, no one else knows.

In fact, this is also a way for him to protect himself.

Zhuang Li, the big boss, was a little unhappy when he saw that the county lord, took a few sips of tea, and said: "My lord, the daughter of the Wang family was taken up the mountain by the second master at that time, and the second master first put the woman in his room for seven days to enjoy, and then got tired of playing and gave her to his subordinates to enjoy for a few days, before and after half a month... I have put forward my opinion more than once, since people are caught, they must be killed and destroyed, otherwise there may be trouble. But the second boss insisted on keeping her, saying that she... It tastes good... Later, one night, the second master drank too much, and the woman found an opportunity and fled. We thought that the woman didn't dare to talk nonsense, who knew that the woman's family reported to the official, and after the second master knew about it, he personally touched the mountain and killed the woman, which was what happened later, in fact, I didn't agree with it at the beginning, but the second master ignored me. My lord, you said, if it weren't for the fact that the second boss had to come down the mountain, even if the county government went up the mountain to catch a few scapegoats and pay some money, this matter would be over, how could it be to become the point where the people of the entire Bazhong City and even the people of the county next door knew about it. ”

Xianzun frowned, he knew that what the big boss of the Iron Head Gang said was the truth. If he hadn't come down the mountain to kill the woman, then it wouldn't be a big deal, it would have been nothing more than a loss of money. But the county still has a lot of doubts in his heart.

It is true that he sent the second master, but since he sent people, on the one hand, he acted as a surveillance, and on the other hand, it was convenient for him to control. The person who chooses is naturally capable of not messing around with waste.

Under normal circumstances, such people would not do stupid things.

Therefore, the big boss said that the second boss killed people and robbed women, it was the idea of the second boss, and he was reluctant to kill the woman after using it up the mountain, whose idea was this, he couldn't just listen to the words of the big boss.

If he has time, he still has to invite the second master to ask.

The county lord didn't want to listen to the big boss say these facts that could not be changed, and said, "Tell me what you think next, don't complain." ”

The big boss said: "My lord, I think that it is best to break through this matter on the Wang family, and give them some silver to eliminate the case." If it doesn't work, you can go up the mountain to find a few gangs, and then declare to the public that these gangs did it privately, and just kill them. ”

The county lord squinted his eyes at the big boss and said, "If you can hand over your gang leader to the people, this matter will be much easier." ”

The big boss was startled and said, "Don't make such jokes, adults. Hey, I really didn't expect that this matter is now known all over the city, and most of the people don't know what to do, they will just follow the general trend, and they will listen to what others say. Adults must be careful about this, my Iron Head Gang has always wanted money and not human life, and it was originally very good, but now that this matter is disturbed, the people have begun to say that we are not good. ”

The county lord sneered and said, "You thieves and bandits, you still want the people to say hello to you?

The big boss said: "My lord, we are bandits, naturally we can't compare with your government, but haven't we always had a cooperative relationship, don't forget, my lord." ”

The county leader slapped the table and scolded angrily: "What nonsense?"

The big boss was frightened, stood up and said, "The villain knows that he is wrong, please forgive me." My lord, you still need to pay more attention to this matter, and the villain will retire first. With that, he turned and walked out.
