Chapter 26: The Three Thieves of the Luo Family

Zhong Min arched his hand and spoke.

"You are the Yawei of Rye Ridge, I am the judge of Kuchaling Mansion, what is there to tell me."

The leader did not dismount, but said proudly.

"We are the three brothers of the Luo family, this time instead of Lord Mo, the lord of the Rye Ridge Mansion, we came to collect the taxes of Li Town, as the government judge, you should know."

The guards were quite dissatisfied with the recklessness of the three of them, but when they heard the other party's identity blowing up, they suddenly fell silent, and even Zhong Min became solemn.

It's just because the three heroes of the Luo family are not unknown, on the contrary, they are quite famous in the surrounding mountains.

The third makes arrows, wears Yang in 100 steps, and has a divine shooting style.

The second child used a gun, called Li Town's small gun god, with exquisite skills, and once single-handedly took on seven bandits and recaptured the official silver.

Of course, if that's the case, in this realm of the Dao Law, it's still an ant. What made them really famous was the boss of the Luo family, who heard that there was an old Jiupin Xiangrui hidden in it, and he could even use several bad omen vessels.

The most brilliant record of the three of them was that they strayed into the Valley of the Strange Wind, killed dozens of corpse soldiers, escaped, and became famous ever since.

After all, the bad omen is already a stubborn disease in Li Town, and it is a forbidden place that cannot be visited, but the three of them escaped from it with their ability, which can be seen to be powerful.

On weekdays, in the form of individual mercenaries, he went alone, but he didn't expect to be recruited by Rye Ridge.

At present, Kuchaling has just suffered a bad omen, and the lord of the mansion is even more bent on auspiciousness, although it is not the same day, but he does not want to cause trouble.

Zhong Min said.

"Does the Luo family have a token of Rye Ridge?"

Luo Dalang threw out a token with the word rye outlined on it, which was a token agreed with Rye Ridge, Zhong Min nodded and said.

"The tax for Li Zhen has been prepared, I will ask the yawei to pick it up, you wait a while."

After speaking, he waved his hand to let the guard next to him go home.

Every year, in the Lingdi under Li Town, except for a few key fortresses, the title deeds are in the hands of the lords of each province. But you still need to hand over some of your goods, which is not much, but it is also a lot of money.

Different areas need to pay different taxes, such as Kuchaling and other poor rural areas, there are no resources, so every year on the supply of some bitter tea, this year the disaster does not stop, the lord of the mansion is all-inclusive.

The guard was about to reflexively go back to the house to pick up the goods, Luo Sanlang suddenly pulled out an arrow and shot it on the ground, an arm's length away from him, looking at a few people condescendingly, with an unkind face.

Zhong Min frowned and asked.

"San Lang is like this, what do you mean?"

Luo Saburo snorted and said gloomily.

"I thought that if there was an official from Kuchaling Mansion, he would have some eyesight. I waited outside the ridge for a long time, and the big-headed soldiers had no right to make their own decisions, so could it be that the government judge didn't know the rules of hospitality? ”

Luo Erlang stretched out his blood-stained arm and echoed.

"My three brothers came from Rye Ridge and met a strange carriage on the post road, and they helped you a lot by spending time and effort to help you settle things. Now it seems that the good-hearted wolf has ignored the white-eyed wolf, when we can't ask for food? ”

Seeing that the two were aggressive, several guards also became nervous and guarded their own court sentences.

Zhong Min pushed everyone away, and asked rhetorically.

"What do you want to do?

Now that there is a calamity in the territory, it is not easy to entertain guests, otherwise I should invite a few people into the house.

However, Rye Ridge is at the same level as my bitter tea, so what qualifications do you have. ”

Luo Sanlang's eyes were fierce, and he raised his longbow to aim at Zhong Min, but was pulled by the eldest brother on the side, only to listen to him speak slowly.

"Lord Fu Ju is also a smart person, I don't want to be false with you.

This time, I handed over the goods of Li Town, and Kuchaling floated 5% on the basis of the previous one, and I didn't want Chen Ye, that thing was not easy to sell. Or spirit coins or talismans, hand over things, we will naturally leave, and we don't need to go in to rest. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Min was already trembling with anger.

"Kuchaling pays an extra 20% every year, which is already difficult for some strong people, but since it is customary, we have nothing to say. Now that I have suddenly changed my hexagram, I haven't discussed it in advance, and I have made such a sloppy request, is it really that I am weak and can be bullied? ”

Originally, the matter of paying taxes was borne by the lord of the house, but Li He said that it was not appropriate to make extraneous branches at present, so he swallowed his anger for a while, after all, some goods are not very important. Now Kuchaling needs time to recuperate, and when the human face tea stabilizes, its status will naturally rise.

Who would have thought that Rye Ridge would be so aggressive, it would be arrogant, and raise so many taxes, even Li Zhen would have to think about it, it is a small ridge, and it really thinks that it is a tyrant?

Luo Dalang obviously expected Zhong Min's attitude, and his expression did not change.

"It's not that I'm the head of the Rye Ridge family, half a year ago, the Dao disaster was raging, and there were losses all around. The lord of the kiln village consulted with my family, expanded his armaments, and recruited Taoist priests.

Ancient iron came out of the kiln village, and my family prepared rye and meat as a guard.

Master Mo remembered the past feelings, and did not want to leave Kuchaling, so he only accepted some goods, and when the time came, Bao Er and other peace, such a good thing was not pleased? ”

Zhong Min snorted, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"What is the history of Mo Rushi, really when I bitter Chaling does not exist? also used the excuse to protect everyone, if this is the case, why didn't you notify the government and report it to Li Zhen?

What is the difference between him doing this and a thief who supports the army privately? ”

was ruthlessly pierced by Zhong Min, and Luo Dalang's face became gloomy.

"Since the government judge is not interested, I won't say more. Taxes aside, help you deal with the bad omens around you, you have to pay a price.

In the face of the benefactor but so rude, my two brothers were a little dissatisfied, accidentally injured a few soldiers, and captured the magistrate, which is understandable. ”

Before he finished speaking, Luo Saburo shot an arrow, which hit the guard who reported the news, but before he could react, he was pierced through the brain by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the other three guards took out their swords one after another and pushed Zhong Min away.

"My lord, go quickly, go to the mansion master, I'll wait for my brother to delay a moment or two."

The war horse neighed, Luo Erlang galloped over, and the spear pierced one person's chest in an instant, and he also took advantage of the situation to pick up the other's helmet and laughed playfully, as if teasing him.

The guard was naturally furious, knowing that there was a gap in martial arts, he still raised his long knife and rushed towards them, but he fell down after a burst of gold and iron blows, and a large amount of blood oozed from the top of his head.

Luo Saburo shot down another guard, strangled the last guard by the neck with a bowstring, and dragged him for dozens of meters.

"Leave a pawn to report back! Take the government sentence away. ”

At this moment, Zhong Min still didn't understand their purpose.

"You are not here to negotiate at all, you are going to force Kuchaling and plunder this tax supply!"

Luo Erlang touched his beard, smiled, and leaned forward.

"Kuchaling Wing Shou Mu Feng is dead, the guards are withering, and there is a down-and-out son, I heard that he is showing favor to the untouchables?

I also tried to hide from the world, and I didn't tell the truth for a long time, and my mouth was tightly sealed.

Hey, how can this kind of waste manage Kuchaling. Obediently hand over the treasures of the Mu family, and you can spare his life and go back to Li Town to be a rich man, otherwise you won't see the sun tomorrow! ”

The war horse ran forward, Luo Erlang fished it with his hands, although Zhong Min had some objects to resist bad omens, but his actual martial arts were not very strong, and he was not an enemy opponent. Just wanted to dodge, he was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and he was caught by Luo Er on the horse in pain.

Luo Erlang held down Zhong Min, whipped the last guard, and mocked wantonly.

"Tell your master, prepare the money and goods, come to Rye Ridge to ransom people, and prepare three times as originally mentioned. Otherwise, next time we come, it won't be just our three brothers! ”

Loud and proud, Luo Erlang patted his horse and replied.

But before he could finish speaking, a bearded head flew into the sky, fell off his horse, and rolled down into the wasteland.

Blood soaked the earth, and Luo Erlang even kept laughing heartily before he died.

I only heard a gloomy voice in the distance.

"It's true that whether or not to come next time is another question, but there won't be any three of you brothers!"
