Section 308 Water Thieves

The merchant surnamed Li didn't know where the strength came from, and screamed desperately: "You, you dare! You will be punished! You will be retributed!"

The expression on Yang Tianhong's face was even more cruel than that of the devil: "Maybe! But before that, it will be you and your family who will be punished first." www.biquge.info You won't die, every time your wife and children are ravaged, you will be escorted to the scene to watch. It was thought that he would die if he was ravaged by hundreds of thousands of people. Don't forget, Bengong is a cultivator, and there are ways to save their lives. Hahahaha! You will have a bunch of brothers and sisters, and you will also have a lot of relatives who are inexplicably related by blood. Oh! I almost forgot, Ben Gong has always wanted to try, if you use cows, horses, pigs, and dogs to cooperate with humans, what will be the result? Maybe, how many brothers will you have with human heads and pig bodies? How many sisters with horse faces and human bodies? Of course, what will this kind of thing look like in the end, just wait for Ben Gong to catch your old lady and see how many times she can withstand the ravages of cows, sheep, pigs and dogs. ”

"You, you're simply not human. The businessman surnamed Li was no longer talking, but howling. He knew very well that Yang Tianhong was definitely not lying and threatening. He definitely did the things he just said. This duke is extremely cruel to the enemy, which has long been recognized in the court of the Chu State.

Yang Tianhong stared at him coldly for a few seconds, and then ordered lightly: "Drag it down and let him speak." If not, according to what my father just said, I will show it to his family one by one. ”

......

Same state.

The Yellow River meanders for hundreds of thousands of miles (this book is overhead, don't connect with reality), flows through all countries in the world, and also flows through Tongzhou.

Guangyi Town is under the jurisdiction of the same state, and there was originally a Yellow River wharf. It's just that there has been no business in recent years, and the population has become sparse. The floods of the Yellow River are flooding every year. The homes that live by the river are basically empty. Gradually, Guangyi Town became deserted. From time to time, you can see the ruins overgrown with plants in the mess, and the parts of the broken wooden boats are everywhere.

However, this dilapidated scene has become the best cover for bandits and thieves. Everyone thinks that this side of Guangyi Town is abandoned and uninhabited. I just didn't really walk in, that is, I couldn't see another scene in it.

To the west of the town, a stream of water runs down a ditch to form a large river in the low-lying area. The area is very large, with a total area of about tens of hectares. The swamp was deserted, and the famine had plagued over the years, making it the best place for thieves to gather.

The Yellow River traverses the east and west of the mainland, and I don't know how many people in the rivers and lakes are engaged in trading without capital on the turnstile on the river. Still, count it down. This water thief in Guangyi Daze can be regarded as a well-known and ruthless character on the Yellow River.

Pei Rong is forty-three years old this year, and he has been proficient in water since he was a child. In the early years, in the Tongzhou Army, he was a brave and ruthless character. The sticks, knives and guns are not bad, and he has even been a team officer for several years. Pei Rong is a fierce person, he dares to fight in battle, and in ordinary times, five or six people can't get close. Especially on the water. Pei Rong is even more advantageous. even got the nickname "Mixed River Dragon".

The name on the **** of Guangyi water thieves is very good. Whoever sees it, you have to give it a little bit of thin noodles. This has been the case for many years. Wait until Pei Rong becomes the leader of the water thieves. Guangyi Daze's reputation gradually spread. In particular, the fleet merchants who came and went in the Yellow River channel had to go to Pei Rong to worship the mountain, and spent a lot of money to buy a flag to hang on the bow of the ship. In this way, you can keep safe along the way.

There are also those who are stingy with their wealth and belongings, thinking that their boat will be able to rush past without long eyes. Floating corpses can often be seen on the Yellow River, both men and women. It's all ruined. Pei Rong doesn't like his orders to be ignored, whenever he encounters this kind of time, he is the word "kill". Regardless of whether you are a relative of the emperor or the emperor, in short, you want to pass over the water of the Yellow River. It is necessary to follow the meaning of Pei Boss Pei to be in charge, honestly worship the mountain, honestly empty his pockets and take out money, and buy flags to eliminate disasters.

After all, it's just ****. If there is no official care, thieves will never become a big climate. But it's strange to say that the government in Tongzhou has turned a blind eye to the Guangyi water thieves. Even if the bitter lord sued the yamen with a complaint, it would be over in the end. Over time, Pei Rong was wrapped in a very mysterious color. Some people say that he has an agreement with the government in private, and some people say that Pei Rong has some kind of secret in his hands. Of course, speculation can always be speculation, and without actual evidence, all talk is meaningless.

I have to say that Pei Rong is very good at being a man.

The officials and officials in the nearby states and counties have a very good relationship with Pei Rong. Every New Year's Day, everyone will receive a filial piety money from Pei Rong. It is said that the hands are short, but in fact it is also the case. The word "water thief" is more like the speculation of outsiders about Pei Rong, on the bright side, his style is more upright than that of serious people. This kind of friendship between officers and soldiers and robbers is also slowly developing. Pei Rong is not only good at killing, but also very good at clever flattery.

With the existence of these intricate relationships, Pei Rong's life on Guangyi's side has become very comfortable. The strongman who begs for a life on the surface of the Yellow River is not only Pei Rong's family. This kind of capitalless business is liked by everyone, and everyone can get a foot in it. It's just that every time the officers and soldiers come down to arrest the thief, they never go to Guangyi's side. Those who know the details know it, and those who don't know it say that it has long been deserted, and there is not a single ghost. Over time, there is no strongman group in the surrounding area that can confront Pei Rong. Especially under the double pressure of the government and the rivers and lakes, they either changed careers or fled, and some simply chose to follow the whole group and live a good life with Pei Da's family. In this way, Pei Rong's fame on the Yellow River grew, and the merchant ships and civilian ships that came and went became the target of his looting.

Robbery is an extremely advanced science. The butler ship Pei Rong will never touch. Who knows what kind of people are sitting in the official ship, and what kind of background is behind it? In contrast, the benefits of merchant ships are much greater. If you grab it once, you can also end up with a lot of money. However, Pei Rong does things in a very measured way, and he will never use a knife to kill people unless he has to. Sometimes the anger comes up. At most, it is to chop off people's hands and feet, or throw a few guys who don't have long eyes to take a bath in the water. Moreover, after Pei Rong got on the boat, he didn't shine all the things, at most, he just took them away, and he didn't tear his face. We'll see you later. You can also leave room for each other. And there won't be a pestering revenge without playing. Pei Rong is very proficient in this kind of thief psychology. After all, no one can be a thief for the rest of their lives. When you are young and strong, you can do this business. When you get old, it's impossible to still fight when you're old, right?

In contrast, civilian ships are different. Pei Rong never spared his hands on civilian ships. Rob when you should rob, kill when you should kill. Encountering a young and beautiful woman is also a ruthless waste. When you have had enough, you can go ashore and find someone you know and sell it for a good price. If it is a male shipowner, then he will sink the river with big stones tied to his hands and feet, or kill him with a knife. The ship was also set on fire, destroying the corpses.

Pei Rong likes to eat people's hearts and livers. I don't know where I learned this hobby. When I was a child, when I heard people tell stories, there was once a good man who occupied the mountain as the king, and when he was drunk, he sent people down the mountain to arrest the passing merchants, and then brought them back to the mountain to dig up the heart and liver to make a joke about sobering up the soup. The human heart is actually not delicious, and the smell is extremely fishy. Pei Rong likes this tone very much. Over time, there are a few more masters who specialize in cooking people's hearts and livers. It is said that the heart and liver are tender and crispy, and it is very delicious when eaten with seasonings. It is comparable to the famous flavor snack belly burst in the capital of Qi State.

Recent times. Pei Rong didn't go out much. If there is a target that can be used, it is a few leaders under his command to lead people out to act. No one knows why. Some people also saw Pei Rong training his subordinates on Guangyi's side, saying that they had to make a big deal recently. Even if you meet the right business, that is, just a few people. As for the main force of the water thieves, no one is allowed to go out, and they have to wait for Pei Rong's order honestly.

There was a strong wind outside, and Pei Rong and the others nested in the house. Around the stove, eating mutton lively.

Pei Rong drank and told his subordinates: "Recently, you have put your tricks on the spot. The wind direction in Lizhou is not right, and I heard that there is a Duke Yiyong from the imperial court. It is very much to clean up and down Lizhou. In short, don't move the boat that has been coming to Lizhou recently. As long as this period passed, the Yellow River waterways were full of gold and silver. When the time comes, we will still have fun. ”

The so-called big business refers to helping the wealthy merchants in the same state to transport goods. Water thieves are not simply thieves. More often than not, they have to play the role of hard labor. Transporting goods by land was very expensive, and there were too many checkpoints to collect money. Walking on the water is different, not to mention the large volume of freight, and the cost is much less. It's just that there are very few people in the world who specialize in water transportation. More often than not, merchants actually have their own familiar water thieves available. As long as the amount of money is sufficient, even if it is a thief, he can honestly obey the call.

It is in line with the old saying: money makes the devil grind.

Guangyi is actually a transit hub. Tongzhou and Lizhou are adjacent to each other, and merchants come and go very frequently. Recently, I heard that Lizhou was going to start a big market, and a lot of business came to the door, Pei Rong was very surprised by this change, and then he became different. After all, he doesn't like to slash and kill all day long, and it would be a good thing if he could take the opportunity to wash his name.

Running transportation on the Yellow River is a big business. What's more, the name of Pei Rong's water thief is here, and it is no exaggeration to say that this kind of business is simply his family's dominance. If the merchant did not follow Pei Rong's path, either the goods would be robbed, or the waterway would simply be cut off. Either way, it's a huge loss for the businessman. Don't say that Pei Rong's asking price is very high, even if it is a high price, he still has to honestly pinch his nose and admit it.

On the surface, it is a serious business, but in fact, it is still a gangster. Many peers on **** are very greedy and feel that they should come in and get a piece of the pie. It's just that the terrain of Guangyi Daze is complex, and if there is no familiar person to lead the way, outsiders will come in as a "death" word. Pei Rong's water thieves are huge, and no outsiders can get in. Over the years, there have been many people who want to share in it, and I don't know how many corpses have been cut off in Guangyi Dazeli to fill the lake. In short, it is to kill one by one, and to kill one by one.

There were several people drinking in the house, all of whom were the leaders of Pei Rong's subordinates. The number of Guangyi water thieves is as high as thousands, and these people are firmly grasped by Pei Rong. He is a very real dragon head, and he is also very generous to his subordinates. When it comes to control, Pei Rong has never taken it lightly. They all use their cronies to control other leaders, and then they are interlocking and firmly control their own right to speak.

A guy with a round waist and big shoulders leaned his neck and drank the wine from the bowl dry. He spat viciously on the ground, and said very unhappily: "Boss, the brothers below this kind of business don't like to do it! Why do we have to transport goods to those merchants? If you want a woman, you can just catch it and sleep. You want all kinds of fine skin and tender meat. How nice is that. ”

Many leaders mean this, and they only say it through the mouth of the big man. Time. The atmosphere in the room became lively, everyone was shouting, and almost everyone with red eyes and loud voices was like this. It's shouting, but it's actually scolding.

Pei Rong picked up a boiled soybean in broth and threw it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and waited until the gang of people made a lot of trouble, then he shouted and suppressed his voice, and then with undisguised sarcasm, he said to the leaders of the water thieves around him: "Is it." Do you want to be a thief for the rest of your life?"

A cronie next to him knew Pei Rong's temper, posted it, and said jokingly with a salivating face: "Master Pei, maybe we were thieves in our last life." This is a accustomed business, and it is really uncomfortable to let my brother put down the knife in his hand at once, and suddenly turn around and pick up the flat oars!"

To say that there is no resentment against Pei Rong's order, it is absolutely false. But. Pei Rong's prestige is here, and no one dares to come forward without permission. That is, to take the opportunity of today's meeting. Only half-truths and half-truths were spoken.

"Hmph!

Pei Rong sneered and shook his head, then lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious: "Do you know who the new Jiedu envoy from Lizhou is?"

The thieves looked at each other and shook their heads again and again.

"Have you ever heard of the name of the hussar general Yang Tianhong?"

Pei Rong explained: "The name may not matter, but you must have heard of the great victory in Southern Xinjiang. The news of the 100,000 slashes. That's what Duke Yiyong did. This man was brave and far-sighted. If we continue to beg for a living on the water as we did before, we will definitely not end up well. Speaking of which, I'm also planning for the future of all my brothers. ”

There was a bit of disdain on the face of the previous big man: "Big brother, what you say is obviously to increase the ambition of others." Extinguish your own prestige. It doesn't matter if he is a hussar general or a brave duke, he is mighty and powerful on the ground. If it is changed in the water, who can have the scenery like ours? Not to mention anything else, as long as he enters this Guangyi Daze, he will be thrown into the swamp and will not even be able to find his bones. ”

Pei Rong didn't argue, and continued to snort coldly: "Do you know what changes have happened in Lizhou recently?"

Several leaders shook their heads together, and some people laughed and scolded: "Just Lizhou, Changhu is surnamed Cui's death, what else can there be over there?"

The crowd burst into laughter. Pei Rong also said with a smile: "You have no news. I heard that Duke Yiyong has built a big market in Lizhou, and all the goods going south and north in the future will have to be traded from Lizhou. Think about it, how many goods come and go in the Yellow River waterway? Will there be less gold and silver in such an overwhelming business?"

When the man heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Big brother, isn't it time for us to get rich? ”

"You know how to rob!"

Pei Rong scolded very angrily, then changed his face and said seriously: "As soon as the big city of Lizhou opens, about half of the goods in the world will come to this side. Duke Yang Tianhong has issued an order to clean up the situation on the Yellow River. Speaking of which, in the future, it will definitely not be as light as before. If our brothers can wash their hands in time, with these big ships under our hands, we will definitely be able to earn a few mountains of gold and silver. ”

Without waiting for the thieves to shout, Pei Rong continued: "Duke Yiyong is a powerful character. Don't you all think you're the king of heaven, Lao Tzu is majestic. If you dare to fight, you are alone. Even if our brothers and a group of thousands of people go up, it won't be enough for the Xuanhuo Army to kill. According to my meaning, you should not patronize any Guangyi Daze, thinking that the terrain here is steep and outsiders cannot enter. Not to mention anything else, as long as the Xuanhuo Army pierces the opening outside, can you still escape? There is nothing in it, even grain, rice, salt, and salt have to be brought in from the outside. When the time comes, if people don't do anything, they will be able to starve your **** to death. ”

These words are indeed very true, and the water thieves who have a little bit of alcohol have calmed down and thought carefully about Pei Rong's words. He lost no time in striking while the iron was hot, stood up, took out a jar of wine from the corner of the house, and set it in front of everyone. There is a red paper pasted on the wine jar, and there are four big characters on it, "Qingling Jade Liquid".

Pei Rong poured a bowl of wine for everyone, and said with a smile: "I think some of you have drunk this wine, and it tastes really good." Maybe you don't know that this wine is made by Yang Tianhong, the grandfather of Yiyong. ”

Speaking of this, someone immediately exclaimed: "I've heard of it." This Qingling jade liquid sells very well in the north. It is truly a business like a sea of gold and silver. Could it be that it's all true?"

"Hehe! and much more. (To be continued.) )
