"And what about the result?" Fang Ling said with a frown.

Niu San sighed, "The county commander didn't dare to provoke his superiors, so he insisted that the woman seduced the son, and wanted to make a big thing small, and the owner of the village was upright by nature, so he fought for it on the basis of reason, and as a result, he was designed by the big official to frame his family for hiding bribes and silver, and shielding the flying thief, and was sentenced to five years in prison in addition to public office. The owner of the village was angry, so he simply ran up the mountain and became a bandit. ”

Fang Ling couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard it: "It's really the officials forcing the people to rebel." ”

Niu San smiled bitterly: "Isn't it? Who wants to be a bandit, in fact, I, Niu San, have also studied for a few years and painted a good hand, but it's a pity that the township tyrants are rampant, and I really have no food to eat, so I ran to the mountain." ”

"Is there a lot of this?" Fang Ling asked.

Niu San nodded and said: "On this misty mountain, there are more than a dozen cottages, there are more than 300 people in the large number of Xiangtian Village, and there are only a few dozen people in the small number, most of them are because the taxes are too heavy and the like, and they really have no livelihood, so they ran up the mountain." However, we also have rules when we are thieves, don't do that murderous thing. ”

Fang Ling's heart moved when he heard this, for the thieves in the Misty Mountain, he did have the intention of extermination, after all, this is a major scourge in the four counties, but hearing Niu San say this, the essence of these people is not bad, if they can subdue these people and turn them into their own forces, they will avoid fighting.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Brother Niu, what about this bandit in Shicheng County?"

As soon as he heard this, Niu San's face changed, and he said cautiously: "Little brother, when you encounter the thieves in Shicheng, there is only one word - escape!"

"Are the bandits in Shicheng County so powerful?" Fang Ling said with a frown.

Niu San said with a straight face: "Little brother, you don't know, we thieves are robbing money, let's take Tianzhai as an example, they dare to rob the mine of the King of Shicheng, it is indeed eating the gall of a leopard, but if they want to kill the King of Shicheng, give them a hundred guts." However, the bandits in Shicheng County are different! Anyone who escapes there to become a bandit is an extremely vicious person who carries a lawsuit against his life, and as long as they are dispatched, the merchant will either die or be injured, and if there is a woman, he will definitely be taken captive. Even if it's us, they're going to be eaten by them. ”

Fang Ling frowned and said, "Then how many bandits are there in Shicheng County?"

Niu San shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific number, but the most famous of the Shicheng thieves is the 'Thirteen Fierce Thieves'." ”

"Thirteen murderers?" Fang Lingqi said.

Niu San nodded and said: "Those are thirteen murderers, it is said that each of them has dozens or hundreds of lives in their hands, and they are the head of Shicheng County, in addition to these thirteen murderers, there are also many bandits, of course, the number must not be compared with our Misty Mountain." However, these people are all cruel and ruthless, and their cultivation is outstanding, in short, for us Misty Mountain bandits, the Shilong Mountain Range is a forbidden area, although the territory there is large, and there are more counties involved, but the people who dare to go there, except for those who take refuge in the Shicheng bandits, really can't find a few. ”

"However, the property looted by those bandits will definitely be sold through some channel, right?, where will the black merchants go?" Fang Ling frowned secretly when he heard this, if the thieves of the Misty Mountain could still be solved by Zhao'an, then this Shicheng bandit was a hard bone.
