When he returned to Tang Village, Chen Jing did not rest. Instead, he ordered Xing Xiaojiu and called the two respected old men in the village.

Thanks to Chen Jing's previous performance, in Tang Village, he is almost a god-like existence.

The two old men also quickly opened the conversation.

"This one who killed a thousand knives is called Yuan Hai, and he made trouble three years ago."

Three years ago, the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and several other heirs were killed in the dark in order to seize the throne. At that time, the places around the capital were also in chaos. For this reason, Song Yu also took the original owner to the village to avoid trouble.

He saw that there was going to be chaos again, and it happened that the officers and soldiers had withdrawn their posts again, and they ran out at once. These people are all very fierce, they kill people if they don't pay food, and they kill people if they pay less, they are all villains who escaped from hell. ”

"Be careful, under Yuan Hai's hands, there are four King Kongs, all of whom are villains on the official register."

Chen Jing thought for a while, "I remember, there is a battalion army to suppress bandits, don't you go into the mountains?" ”

"Those battalion soldiers said that the military salary for suppressing bandits should be unified in all villages before they can be counted, and I also donated a small half load of rice ......."

Chen Jing closed his eyes. He suddenly understood why Mr. Big insisted on reform, risking the world's condemnation, and even the infamy of eternity, to reform and change the law.

There is Di Guo eyeing the outside, and there are bandits and decay inside, and if it goes on like this, within two generations of emperors, the entire Daran Dynasty will become a thin West Mountain.

"Xiao Jiu, send the two old people."

Sitting in the courtyard, Chen Jing only felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Song Yu walked over and put the rice on the dining table and a bowl of meat dishes in front of him.

"Song Yu, I can't remember exactly, when we were in trouble three years ago, how were we?"

"Accompanied by two neighbors, they hid in the village below. At that time, it was not only bandits, but also troops everywhere who helped to seize the throne. Ping'an Town is close to it, so it has become a good place for soldiers. A neighbor was in a hurry to return to the city...... Died in the middle of the road. ”

Ping'an Town is only more than 200 miles away from the capital. However, at the location leading to Jingyi, there is still a checkpoint halfway, as the last arch guard of the royal family of the dynasty.

But in any case, not far from the capital, it can be dangerous, which has proved that the image of the decline of a dynasty.

"Chen Jing, you're different."

"The gentleman hides the weapon, maybe I should also show my sword."

Chen Jing stretched out his hand and shook Song Yu. Song Yu stood calmly, without half a point of evasion.

The eyes of the two of them were looking at the people guarding the village outside the courtyard. For example, these people never thought that one day, under the leadership of a small foreign owner, they would have to meet a group of notorious old bandits.

"Owner, someone is here."

Chen Jing glanced sideways, only to find that at some point, two big men with knives on their backs followed Xing Xiaojiu to the front.

"I've seen Brother Chen."

Chen Jing was a little confused, the two people in front of him were obviously some time ago, who came to ask for a wooden box, as if they were called "Moxi Five Tigers".

"On the helmsman Yuan's side, more than a dozen people were dispatched to help deal with the old bandits. Then, he ordered the two of us to help Brother Chen. Please also ask Brother Chen not to be surprised, at the beginning...... It's also not to fight and not to know each other. ”

"It's a joke." Chen Jing smiled, "By the way, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"A certain name is Hu Dong, this is Hu Xi."

Chen nodded, "Two Hu brothers, ask more, what is the situation in Ping'an Town?" ”

"These days, I am not in the town, I have only heard that the city is strictly forbidden day and night. Every day, there were wagons to bring the corpses out of the city gates, and they were thick and large stacks, covered with straw mats, and they were not bothered to bury them, and they were thrown directly at the graves. ”

"There's a head catcher named Xia Chong, have you heard of it?"

Hu Dong thought for a while and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, Brother Chen, who are you?" ”

"A brother."

"If there's any news of him, I'll help relay it."

"Thank you."

In fact, from Hu Dong's words, Chen Jing had already guessed a possibility. The big gentleman had not yet arrived in Ping'an Town at this time, or rather, he was temporarily hiding somewhere.

"The two of you will rest first, I can't say, the old bandit will be here soon."

"Brother Chen, can there be a way?"

Chen Jing thought for a while, "This scourge can't be avoided. According to the rules, there will be someone who steps on the plate first. I plan to prevent future troubles and attract all the evil bandits on the old mountain to Tang Village. ”

Hu Dong was shocked, "Brother Chen, these old bandits are not simple. There are at least 100 people, and if they are brought over, they will be burned. ”

"I've got a solution." Chen Jing continued to speak seriously, "The bandits are nothing more than using the sharp knife in their hands to oppress the good people. Such people usually regret their lives, if they do not guess wrong, after two or three counter-attacks, they are very likely to panic and flee. ”

Chen Jing's eyes looked outside Tang Village.

"Of course, if they don't retreat, I have a way to drive them into a corner."

"Brother Chen...... I thought of two ways. ”

Chen nodded, "This is my temperament, I like to be cautious in doing things." ”

"No wonder the chief helmsman will keep talking about you."

"What did he say?"

He said Brother Chen...... He's a strange man in the world. ”

"That's it."

Chen Jing turned his head and asked Yu Shan to move the two wooden boxes to the wooden platform by the courtyard.

The two wooden boxes have a small crack, through the small gap, you can vaguely see the big ingot of silver inside, bulging.

"Don't get me wrong, except for the surface layer, the rest is stone. You also found out at the beginning, I, Chen Jing, am a broken businessman. Chen Jing said with a smile.

"Nature...... But Brother Chen, if you put these two boxes, it is quite a thief. ”

"Originally, it was used to attract thieves. Recently, patience has not been good, and when the old bandit who stepped on the plate saw it, it was estimated that it would be very fast and could bring a large number of people and horses. ”

"By the way, there is one more thing, I want to trouble the two Hu brothers."

"Brother Chen, if you have something to say, please speak directly." At this time, Hu Dong and Hu Xi understood the meaning of their chief helmsman's words, this Chen Jing, you really want to play yin with him, people can eat you whole, and there is no scum left.

"I heard that in addition to the thief chief Yuanhai, there are other four King Kongs. It just so happened that these four people owed the lives of the people in the village, so grab them and hand them over to me directly. ”

"Corpses too."

Although I don't know, where did Chen Jing get the confidence. But now, after getting to know each other, Hu Dong and Hu Xi both chose to believe in Chen Jing.

Vaguely, they even felt that Chen Jing and the big gentleman seemed to be the same kind of people. Wisdom crowns the world, but it is calm.

"Young Master Chen, I'm done." At this time, outside the courtyard, the villagers gathered sweating profusely.

Chen Jing got up. It just so happened that he wanted to encourage the villagers to kill the bandits.

You must know that in this era, the small people of Shengdou are not knowledgeable, they are afraid of the official army, the old bandits, and even the families of the rich.

"Zhang Tiancai." Chen Jing said.

Xiao Zhang, a scholar with a blister, just thought that he was going to recite poetry, so he hurriedly ran out.

"Tell me, do you have eggs on you?"

"Yes...... Naturally, I killed a nest of snakes last summer. ”

"Then if someone wants to burn your house, rob your rice, and trample all the tablets of your ancestors' eighteen generations—"

"I'll his mother!" Zhang Tiancai's face turned red and scolded viciously.

Chen Jing was very satisfied.

"That's it, the old bandit entered the village, and he was not given a way to live. When there is no food, and the silver is gone, our wife, children and mother can only starve to death and die of illness when the time comes, and go to Huangquan Road, and they can't even eat steamed buns! ”

"I, Chen Jing, just ask, the old bandit came to rob him, let's not kill him!"

"my mother!"

In front of Chen Jing, more than 30 young and strong men shouted angrily.

Chen Jing exhaled and sat down comfortably.
