After everyone finished joking, Desert said: "Master Gao Helm, you tell Brother Zhu about Zheng Fengming a while ago, so that Brother Zhu knows the ins and outs." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuan didn't understand and asked. Yan Feihong also looked towards the desert.

"Brother Zhu guesses that this may be related to the Tianyi Alliance, and if you say it, everyone will discuss it, is there such a possibility."

"Oh? This is also related to the Tianyi Alliance? Zhou Yuan asked. Zhou Yuan and Yan Feihong both knew Nangong Ling's letter, so they both knew about the Tianyi Alliance.

"It's just a guess, now it's time to analyze whether it might be related, Lord Gao Rudder, you can say it first."

"Yes, that's how it is......" Gao Wei told the story of the matter.

It turned out that Zheng Fengming, the prefect of Jincheng, Shaanxi, wrote to the imperial court, saying that he was old and frail, and asked him to leave his post and return to his hometown, Zheng Fengming was a native of Zunyi, Guizhou, a month ago, Zheng Fengming and his family passed through Xiangyang, and was intercepted and killed by a strong man on the official road fifteen miles outside Xiangyang City, a family of more than ten people, plus more than 20 people with foot strength, none of them lived, all died on the official road, and the property was robbed, and there were several strong bodies at the scene of the murder. The prefect of Xiangyang invited the martial arts master "hook and sickle gun" in Xiangyang City to solve the case to help solve the case, that Xie Jiancheng is a martial artist in Xiangyang, Fang Yuan Baili is famous, once served as the head of Xiangyang Mansion, and later resigned to retire at home, and several of his apprentices are still in Xiangyang Mansion as a fast catcher. Na Xie Jiancheng traveled widely and recognized that there was a person named Wang Li among the corpses of the strong man, but Wang Li turned out to be a disciple of the Beggar Gang, and the Xiangyang prefect determined that the case was committed by someone in the Beggar Gang, and also locked up several disciples of the Beggar Gang, including a deputy helmsman of the Xiangyang Branch of the Beggar Gang. Gao Wei inquired about the news, urgently reported to the helm, the leader of the beggar gang "Iron Hand Tianlong" Xie Fei attached great importance to this matter, and ordered his junior brother Zhou Yuan, the apprentice Yan Feihong and the desert to come to Xiangyang to inquire, after many verifications, it was learned that Wang Li had already left the beggar gang, to the west of Xiangyang more than 200 miles of Julong Mountain into the gang, and also became a small leader, and then check the rest of the corpses, are also related to the strongman of Julong Mountain, Gao Wei reported to the prefect of Xiangyang, submitted the matter in detail, and promised the beggar gang to help the government to arrest the thieves in Julong Mountain, Only then did he save the few beggar gang disciples who were imprisoned.

"Did those people in Julong Mountain kill all the people so ruthlessly when they committed crimes before?" After listening to Gao Wei, Zhu Wenyu said in a deep voice.

"We don't know about this, it seems that there is no, people who eat on the rivers and lakes know that robbing money does not kill people, robbing money does not rob sex, this is the rule of the road, that is, it is said that you can't kill them all, you have to leave people a way to live, sometimes often after robbing money, there will be some entanglement for the robbed person to go back, as if unless there is any deep hatred, there are very few such total annihilation. However, it is not known what exactly the people of Julongshan have done before. "The desert is on the side.

"Oh. In this way, except for the fact that this matter can be determined to be committed by people from Julong Mountain, it is basically impossible to see that it has anything to do with the Tianyi Alliance. Zhu Wenyu groaned.

"That seems to be the case, unless we go up the hill and find out what's going on." Desert nodded.

"Hehe, then we'll go." Zhu Wenyu said with a smile, this kind of naughty nonsense is his favorite thing to do, back then he ambushed on the roof of a private house in the capital for several days, in order to find the kind of night walkers who come out at night to fight, which is much more enjoyable than fighting with gangsters on the street.

"Hehe, I knew Brother Zhu would say that. So when are we going? Desert laughed.

"Hehe, I originally wanted to go today, but now that the sun has set, I won't be too lazy to run more than 200 miles, let's talk about it tomorrow." Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.

"Ha, you're just a troublesome monkey spirit." Zhou Yuan said with a smile.

Yan Feihong and Gao Wei next to him just smiled and didn't speak.

"Come on, Brother Zhou, we are dumb and blind, don't talk about the second brother, everyone is similar. By the way, Master Gao Helm, I can only disturb tonight, and I have to ask Lord Gao Helm to arrange a room for Miss Tang to rest, and I will sleep in a room with the eagle. ”

"The room for the two of you has already been prepared." That Gao Wei had already ordered him to go down when he went out to greet him, and said with a smile: "Zhu Gongzi is a distinguished guest and a friend of our gang leader, and the beggar gang must take care of it well, and it is not allowed to be sloppy." The wine and food have been prepared, Zhu Gongzi, Miss Tang, and the two of them can go back to the room to rest after eating. ”

"Thank you, Lord Helmsman." Seeing that Gao Wei acted so thoughtfully, Zhu Wenyu finally understood why he didn't know the slightest martial arts, and he could also accumulate merit in the beggar gang and be promoted to a six-bag disciple, and he also worshiped the high position of the helmsman.

That night, Gao Wei persuaded the wine and food on the side, Zhou Yuan and Zhu Wenyu talked and laughed, drank heartily, and staggered after a drunken scent, but Desert Tang Yunyan Feihong and Gao Wei were only dipped in and did not drink much.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Wenyu and Tang Yun of the desert, three people and three horses, rushed to Julong Mountain west of Xiangyang.

More than 200 miles, the fast horse is only a day's work, and when the sunset is shining, Zhu Wenyu and Sha Tang have arrived at the town of Baokang County under the Julong Mountain, and found an inn to live in.

Julong Mountain is in the west of Xiangyang, only more than 200 miles apart, and belongs to the territory of Baokang County. This Julong Mountain is connected with Jing Mountain in the east, looking at Wudang in the north, adjacent to the Jingqing River in the west, near the depressed water in the south, the mountain is steep, stretches for several miles, since the former Tang Dynasty, there are strong bandits entrenched in this Julong Mountain, the court of the former Tang Dynasty and the former Yuan Dynasty have ordered the chief Yamen to send troops to recruit and suppress, but always return in vain, when the Yuan is extinguished, the war is connected, the world is in chaos, and no one takes care of this small Julong Mountain, a group of strongmen are entrenched here, for the disaster of the people, the strongman headed by Zhao Jiqiang, nicknamed "Sitting Tiger", it is really a sitting tiger who occupies the mountain as the king, Often take the minions down the mountain to rob the people's property, if you see the beautiful girl is also inexplicably snatched up the mountain, forcibly defiled, the beautiful name is to provoke the lady of the village, the people are very angry, but there are thousands of minions on the mountain, the power is quite large, the local yamen in Baokang County is helpless, the local officials and troops are not under the holy decree and must not be lightly adjusted, only rely on some of the yamen in the fast catch or the county in the errand service, where is the opponent of the bandits in Julongshan? To put it mildly, the life of the county magistrate of Baokang County is in the hands of Zhao Jiqiang, the sitting tiger, if he is unhappy one day, he will be able to take the life of the county magistrate whenever he wants. Tong Lin, the county commander of Baokang County, had no choice but to turn a blind eye, bless Zhao Jiqiang if he didn't come to find trouble for himself, even if he was grateful to the Living Buddha and Bodhisattva, how could he dare to provoke Julong Mountain? Therefore, in this Baokang County, the words of the Tiger sitting on the ground in Julong Mountain are more effective than the words of the county master, and it has become the second county yamen in Baokang County.

Zhu Wenyu and the three of them found an inn to live in, and found a restaurant to eat, but they listened to the diners next to them talking about it, Zhu Sha and the others listened carefully and were surprised, it turned out that there was a big incident in Julong Mountain.

It is said that there are a total of five bandit leaders on this Julong Mountain, all of whom are nicknamed by the word "Tiger", Zhao Jiqiang, the big boss "Sitting Tiger", Wang Xu, the second boss, the "Tiger" Liu Fei, the third boss, the "Tiger" Qian Xiang, and the fifth boss, the "Howling Tiger", known as the "Julong Five Tigers", which cannot be used for a lifetime. Who knew that the big master, sitting on the top spot, nicknamed "sitting on the ground tiger" Zhao Jiqiang, actually died of a violent illness yesterday, and now the cottage has been taken over by the second master "down the mountain tiger" Wang Xu, replacing Zhao Jiqiang to sit in the top spot. Julong Mountain has issued a notice to pay tribute to Zhao Jiqiang, the sitting tiger in the mourning hall on the mountain, and the people of Baokang County must also pay the sacrifice, each person will receive ten copper coins, which will be collected by the village head and the chief, and then sent to Julong Mountain. As soon as this notice came out, the people were happy and sad, and they all secretly clapped their hands and said that Zhao Jiqiang had evil retribution, and finally had no good death, but he was worried that this "Xiashan Tiger" Wang Xu was not a good corner, and that Zhao Jiqiang could be said to be half a catty and eight taels, and the days to come will still be sad, and how to pay the etiquette of ten copper coins per person, if not, the knife of the bandits in Julongshan is not vegetarian, all of them are robbers who kill people without blinking, if they are handed over, for many poor people, there is no copper plate on the body, how to get these ten copper plates? If you report to the police, right? Even the county master has no way to take that Julong Mountain, he doesn't say a word with his eyes closed, and he doesn't dare to put a fart, what's the use of suing?

This change was much unexpected by Zhu Wenyu and others, this Zhao Jiqiang will not die sooner or later, but it will be finished at this time, it is really difficult to say what will be the inside story of this. But even if there is an inside story, I'm afraid I can only go and investigate it at night.

Zhu Wenyu wanted to go up the mountain after eating, but was pulled by the desert, "Are you crazy?" Don't want to die? If you don't rest, your brother and sister have to rest, the injury on your brother and sister's arm is not completely healed, you don't feel sorry for me, hehe? Desert scolded.

Tang Yun blushed on the side and said: "The desert is talking nonsense again, I thought you were quite honest, but who knew that you couldn't spit out ivory." ”

"Presumably my brother and sister can spit out ivory? Ha ha. Desert quipped.

Zhu Wenyu laughed, glanced at Tang Yun, and thought to himself, so he didn't insist anymore, and went back to the inn to rest first.

On the second day, Zhu Wenyu and the three of them had to wander around the streets of Baokang Town, drilling into the lively teahouse and wine shop, listening to what the tea guests were talking about, who knew that it was all about the evil things that the five tigers had done before, gnashing their teeth and scolding, the road is a cycle of heaven, good and evil are rewarded, but they don't know anything about how Zhao Jiqiang died violently, and what is passed on is just a bunch of speculations, some say that it was thundercut, and some say that he died of madness, anyway, it's not a good death. After listening to it for a day, there was no useful news at all, so I had to stop.

The sky gradually darkened, Zhu Wenyu and the three returned to the inn, Zhu Wenyu said: "Eagle, you are not good at light skills, you don't go, I will go with Yun'er." ”
