"That good man, stop, they used to be people!" Chao Qiang saw that the silver-robed young man was chasing and killing, and he couldn't help shouting to stop it.

These words immediately shocked the silver-armored young man, and then he looked at the robbers and stopped his subordinates. Zhu Fu, who rushed over, couldn't help but sigh in admiration. King Chao was generous and righteous, even to his subordinates.

He exerted his strength and shouted at the robbers in an authentic Yizhou accent: "Brothers, don't be afraid, we are just passers-by." Seeing the battle in front of me, I came to check it out, if I just asked for money and discussed,"

Maybe this native dialect is really useful, or maybe you can only save your life by surrendering. The robbers did not resist any longer, and threw away their weapons and crouched on the ground with their heads in their hands.

The battle was over soon!

The gang of robbers was all here except for the twenty or thirty who had escaped.

Even the burly black man and the tall thin man who released the cold arrow did not run away. Or rather, they didn't run at all, but told the minions to lay down their weapons.

They have already seen that Chao Qiang and the others are not official soldiers, because the people in the government will not kindly let the bandits go, but will only cut off their heads and go back to ask for rewards.

Chao Qiang has been affected by following Chao Gai for a long time, but he looks vicious but is very kind-hearted. Seeing that many of these robbers were injured, he ordered the team to treat them. Let these strongmen who may have put down their hoes for a few days be full of gratitude.

Chao Qiang patted his horse slowly, and sighed silently when he looked at the many thin and thin robbers. His eyes fell on the burly Khan, and he became a peacemaker: "Brother, I know that you are forced to get by, why did you rob the caravan." In this hot day, except for the poor running business, who still suffers from this sin. Even if you rob it, you can get much benefit, you must look at it ......"

But before he finished speaking, many men in the crowd shouted dissatisfied.

"This officer, we are not robbers."

"Yes, it was the caravan that took a lot of our goats."

"Believe it or not, they still have a few more caught in the car,"

"We came to theorize and make them pay, and we fought."

……

Chao Qiang was a little stunned when he heard it, but he didn't react yet. The caravan over there, with their ears pointed, hula-la-la, gathered around and pointed at the other side and shouted. The silver-robed young man couldn't stop him, and his voice was louder than the other.

"Whoever robbed you, those are all wild goats."

"That's it, you happened to be arrested when you encountered it, you are quite unreasonable, don't slander good people."

"! We were merciful before, and none of them were killed. ”

……

The two groups of people said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the two sides were red-faced and red-eared, scolding and scolding. Roll up your arms and roll up your sleeves, and fight again.

Chao Qiang saw that the two sides were angry, and became one head and two big. Things seem to be completely different from what I imagined. Who is robbing whom at the moment? Could it be that the gang was seen rushing down the hill just to find the goats?

Zhu Fu also felt that there was something strange about this matter, and exchanged glances with Chao Qiang, all of whom felt the same way. One went to persuade not to be impulsive, first to appease everyone, and then to summon the leaders of the two groups of people over to try to resolve the conflict.

"Everyone is here to live, and arguing won't solve anything. There is something to say, fighting and killing people is a broken family. Chao Qiang's voice was very loud, saying what Chao Gai often said during this time. Then he looked at the strongman leader: "Hey, brother, you speak first." ”

"This brother, because he looks black, he is nicknamed Black Mountain Kite Chen Hu, this is my brother poisonous starling Chen Bao, who was originally from Chenjia Village one hundred and ten miles away......" The burly black man pulled the thin and tall man to introduce himself first. Then he explained the origin of their group and the cause of the incident.

The tall and thin man nicknamed Poison Starling added next to him, and he was unusually articulate. scolded and scolded to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, worthy of being called a poisonous starling.

It turned out that it was indeed Chao Qiang, Zhu Fu and others were wrong, this group of people was really not robbers. All of them were villagers of Chenjia Village, but because of the heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, life became more and more difficult, and later the land was gone, and they could no longer live, so they fled into the mountains with their families.

ran all the way to Dacang Mountain, and settled in the deep mountains and old forests. There is no shortage of food in the mountains, and wild sheep live in the mountains. There are many people in Chenjia Village who can domesticate livestock, catch a lot of them to raise, and barely live with the corn they bring out, and they are free and free without being exploited.

Today, someone drove wild goats to graze on the mountain, because of poor care and lost more than ten of them, when they caught up, they found that they were captured by the caravan, and they were beaten up when they went up to theorize, and then the villagers went down the mountain en masse.

After the poisonous starling Chen Bao finished speaking, his face was not red or panting, and he was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he added: "This wild goat, also known as the big yellow sheep, only lives in the deep mountains, and is really raised in our village." If you don't believe me, you can go and see the hundreds of them just a short distance away. ”

Chao Qiang, Zhu Fu listened carefully to the man's narration and basically made a judgment. The silver-armored young man in the caravan and a few companions also looked a little unnatural. They are not uncommon to see this kind of persecuted people, and they believe in eight or nine points in their hearts.

It's really my own gang that robbed other people's things!

This thing was not done in a glorious way, and several people looked at each other a little embarrassed. It was the young man in white leather armor who stepped forward and said with a smile: "This brother, misunderstanding, pure misunderstanding. We thought the goat had caught the wrong goat. A few of the cars were returned immediately, and as for the ones that were eaten, we went to Yishui County to sell the mercury, and we will personally return the gifts when we get the money. ”

"Mercury? Yishui County? Zhu Fu muttered to himself, and hurriedly looked at the young man: "Wait, isn't my brother coming from Jialing to deliver mercury to Li Dahu's house in the west of the city?" ”

"Yes, how did Brother Tai know?" The young man was busy asking, and he had a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, I saw Zhu Fu sigh and say bad news: "You guys are late." Mrs. Li died of a sudden illness a month ago and was hastily buried. The Li family moved out overnight and didn't know where to go. Now everyone in and outside the city knows about it, and you can ask about it at will. ”

"Oh my God, there's such a thing?" The young man and a few companions were dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, they have a long way from Sichuan to Shandong, how much suffering they have suffered, how many sins they have suffered, and they have spent all their entanglements, and they will be able to get a lot of returns when they are about to arrive at their destination, but now the buyers are gone!

How can this be good, what can I do??

That Black Mountain Kite Chen Hu and his brother Chen Bao glanced at each other, and saw sympathy in each other's eyes, the fate of this caravan was tragic enough. How many state capitals are crossed from Sichuan, the road is really too far.

In particular, mercury is something that ordinary people don't need at all, except for pharmacies. If there is no buyer who pre-orders a large number of them in his hands, it is a blood loss. Think about it again, and feel that you are the same person who has fallen from the end of the world.

"Brother, forget it, we don't want those sheep, keep them and eat them!" The burly tiger Chen Hu was sad in his heart, and he took half a step forward and waved his hand generously. In fact, there is also a sentence "The matter of mercury can only be loved, but it cannot be helped" did not say.

The handsome young man and a few companions were still stunned, and there was no response. It's really like this news has been struck by lightning, which makes people a little unacceptable!

"Hey, Brother Chen Hu, things are one yard at a time, and they can be as they should be. We gave the goat's money, and it was not easy for everyone to help each other. After Chao Qiang gave Zhu Fu a look, he took out two ingots of silver from the package on the saddle, said something, and threw them to the black man.

Chen Hu took two ingots of silver, and he was afraid that there would be no more than forty taels when he started heavily. Where has the peasant man ever seen this, and he hurriedly shirked it with some restraint: "There are many more, the wild goats are small, and they don't need so much at all." ”

"It's not easy for you to buy more shoes to wear." Chao Qiang waved his hand and smiled haughtily. This move immediately brought the relationship with Chen Hu and others closer.

On the other side, Zhu Fu is a smart person, and when he saw Chao Qiang's eyes, he immediately understood. First, let the team behind you be notified to keep up. Then he organized his thoughts, and came to the young man again.

He knew from his brother's letters that he would be mainly responsible for running the restaurant in the future. To find out the news and win over the heroes, it is natural to pull it first.

It was Zhu Fu who came up and packed the ticket: "Brother, don't worry, there are other big buyers when the Li family is gone." I want all your mercury from my host. ”

The words were like nectar falling from a long drought, which made the young man and others grasp a life-saving straw. Unbelievable, he looked at Zhu Fu with surprise on his face.

"Really? Didn't my brother fool me? ”

"Of course, my owner is famous and the most generous, how can he coax?" Zhu Fu patted his chest and wrapped his big bag, his face full of sincerity.

He has been running a hotel for so many years, so he naturally knows that mercury has no effect on ordinary people, but the rarity is there. The private businessman Chao Tianwang has a way, and there is nothing wrong with buying it, and there may be other uses. It is precisely because of these that Zhu Fu dares to be so confident.

"Dare to ask my brother's honorable name?" The young man breathed a sigh of relief, but asked again. On the other side, Chen Hu and Chen Bao couldn't wait to ask. Chao Qiang smiled and didn't speak, but took a few steps back and came to Zhu Fu's side.

Zhu Fu saw this teacher Chao's actions, and after being a little puzzled, he understood that the other party wanted to show his face once, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

His waist was straight, and he said with a little pride: "Brothers, I don't hide it. My host is Chao Gai, the king of Tota in Nayuncheng County. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion among both the caravan and the group of outcasts. Who hasn't heard of the name Chaogai? is generous and righteous, and he is a hero. Especially some time ago, they defeated bandits one after another to protect the territory and the people. The good reputation of opening porridge shops everywhere to help refugees has long been spread.

"It turned out to be King Chao, I don't know the names of the two brothers?" After the handsome young man and the Chen Hu brothers came back to their senses, they hurriedly bowed to Chao Qiang and Zhu Fu.

Not to mention a few of them, even everyone else stepped forward one after another, bowing their heads. Speaking of Chao Gai's benevolence and righteousness, he only hates Yunyun who has no chance to visit the party.

"Brother, please get up." Zhu Fu was surprised, but Chao Qiang was not surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to help a few people up, and let everyone get up.

Next, reveal each other's names and surnames, and greet each other!
