The bronze sword mad lion should be the big leader of the gang of bandits corresponding to this mark on the tree.

According to the brief account in the book, when they were in Shanyang County in the past, the gang under Tan Ying was collectively known as the Crazy Lion Village, and they were widely known for their courage and bloodthirstiness and generosity.

Su Hanshan also took out the Green Forest Treasure Book from the burden behind him, turned to that page, and held it up next to the pine tree for comparison, and sure enough, it was right.

Bandits generally come to money quickly and go to money quickly, and the rule in some places in Shanyang County is that bandits also have to give money in exchange for enjoyment.

And in a group of bandits, they can all be known for their generous shots, you can imagine what kind of character the bandits in the Crazy Lion Village are, even if they haven't been in Xueling County for a long time, I'm afraid they have already done some big deals.

Su Hanshan immediately asked everyone around him to disperse and look in different directions to see if there were any such marks around.

Soon, a person who went to the northwest found similar traces.

Su Hanshan They followed this trace and found that these marks could basically be connected into a line, one end of the line pointed to Shiqiao County, and the other end pointed to the mountains in the north.

"It's too arrogant."

Li Wuniu couldn't help but say, "This is directly marking your own position." ”

Li Erhu shook his head and said: "Only those who know secret memory can see the mystery, and ordinary people can't tell the difference even if they see these traces when they pass by." ”

"No, according to the treasure book, even those top bandits, who usually leave secret marks, will not have such an obvious direction, not to mention the bronze sword mad lion, it can't be called the top level of a county."

Su Hanshan looked down at the few scratches hidden at the roots of the tree, and said, "Secret marks like this should be specially left to show people the way, because if there is something to do in the near future, it will be destroyed afterwards." ”

As he was saying this, his ears moved slightly, and he made a gesture for everyone to disperse and hide, while he picked the tallest tree in the vicinity, threw himself into the canopy, and looked into the distance.

The little movement that had just been captured gradually became clear, and Su Hanshan saw that the comer was alone, wearing a robe and a black cloak.

Judging from the style and texture of his clothes, he looks like a scholar from a very good family, but the pair of boots on his feet attracted Su Hanshan's attention.

Those were the boots that only county officials would wear.

The experience of getting along with Wu Ning and others in the Ming World gave Su Hanshan the habit of remembering the details of other people's clothing and style in ordinary times.

The scribes, catchers, and officials in Cangshui County have different appearances, different figures, and different clothes, but the boots are basically the same.

It is said that the first reason is that the imperial court has relevant regulations, and the second is because the county guards of Xueling County are engaged in the business of various silks, embroidery, and boots.

Therefore, in Xueling County, all the boots worn by the relevant personnel of the official government are basically purchased from the industry of the county guard.

Su Hanshan's thoughts were racing, he quietly jumped down from the tree, returned to the marked pine tree, looked up and touched the pine needles, chose a long one and pulled it out, held it in his mouth, clasped his hands around his chest, leaned against the tree, and hummed a small song.

The man came nearer, saw him, and looked at the markings on the tree.

Su Hanshan squinted his eyes, clearly captured his concern, and without waiting for the other party to open his mouth to probe it, he preemptively said: "Say, what business?" ”

The man should have said the joint codeword, but he grabbed the words, but he forgot about it, and said with a smile: "Why did the lord of your village let my brother wait here, it is too close to the official road, less than twenty miles." ”

Su Hanshan pretended to be impatient: "Lao Tzu is impatient to wait here, you have something to say." ”

He deliberately imitated Li Erhu's accent in these words, and learned them vividly, but he was three points more fierce than Li Erhu.

The man hurriedly lifted his hood, revealing a kind face in his thirties, and said, "Last time, I asked the brothers to burn East Third Street, and the matter was really neat, but the impact was not small. ”

"Our Ouyang family is trying our best to deal with the follow-up for a while, and we definitely have the intention of neglecting the brothers in Guizhai."

"No, recently, the head of our family saw that the limelight was a little smaller, so he immediately sent me here, and pointed out a big fat sheep for the brothers in Guizhai, this time it is Shangliangfang."

Su Hanshan raised his eyebrows: "Shangliangfang? Don't try to deceive us that the Crazy Lion Village is a foreigner, we are also very well-informed, and that bone is not easy to gnaw. ”

There are not many caravans coming and going in Shihao County, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are no masters in the Heavenly Ladder realm, but the number of martial arts halls is more than that of Cangshui County, and the competition is very fierce.

It's just that the status of those martial arts hall owners is far inferior to the five major hall owners in Cangshui County, in Shihao County, even if they are hall owners, they can be hired to take care of their homes.

Su Hanshan once heard someone mention that in the place of Shangliangfang, because the former county magistrate of Shihao County lived, there were many merchants attached to the left, and each family must have hired a nursing home.

The man smiled: "It's still the same method last time, let's transfer some people, you do it, and solve it quickly." ”

"As long as someone is killed and the house is burned, if there are not enough things to grab, we will have a generous gift to make up for it afterwards."

He took out a stack of portraits, "The people on this are killed, and others can be killed, and it doesn't hurt if there are a few fish that slip through the net." ”

Su Hanshan took the portrait and looked at it: "When will you start?" ”

"The head of the house means that the sooner the better, we can do it tomorrow night."

The man said, "Of course, it still depends on the meaning of Boss Tan, the owner of your village." ”

Su Hanshan snorted lightly: "Our leader has learned a swordsmanship secret this morning, and I told you not to disturb before the evening, and I will tell you about these things in the evening." ”

"If he doesn't agree, he will send someone to your house at another time, and if he agrees, he will not send someone over."

The man nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay." ”

Su Hanshan folded those portraits and put them into his arms, and suddenly showed a strange smile.

"If you run like this, you won't just bring so much waste paper with you?"

He suddenly made a move, hit the person's acupuncture point, and his fingertips vaguely sensed the resistance of an internal force, and found that this person's skill should also be at the level of Qi Hai Xiaocheng.

Su Hanshan pinched his skill at a slightly higher level than the opposite side, and after hitting a few acupuncture points, he searched him directly, there was no pendant on his waist, and he took out a money bag and a token in his arms.

On the front of the token is written the stone trench county government, and on the reverse side is written Shuzuo, this kind of position is a small official in the county government, which seems to be not in the stream, but the power is not small, and it is basically held by the people of the local wealthy families, assisting the county order sent by the imperial court to govern the local area.

Official boots, family, tokens, this person's identity as a scholar will basically not be fake.

The man was shocked and angry, and his neck was red.

Su Hanshan laughed, untied his acupuncture points, and threw the token back to him, but the silver was left by himself, full of bandits.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, Lao Tzu is staying in this forest, there is no wine or meat, I have to make some hard-earned money."

The man took the token, stuffed it into his arms, and reluctantly smiled: "Yes, my brother is too anxious, in fact, this is a few wine money to give to my brother." ”

"Now that the news has arrived, I'm leaving."

Su Hanshan waved his hand: "Don't send it." ”

The man arched his hand, put on his hood, and turned away.

Behind him, Su Hanshan's smile had disappeared.

Remembering that he had copied it carefully, and bothered to check and compare, there should have been a copy of the green forest secret note that would be sent to the Shihao County Ya, Su Hanshan's face was even more gloomy.

A moment later, Li Erhu and the others reunited.

"Boss."

Li Erhu felt that his face was a little wrong, "Are we going to the city anymore?" ”

"Go!"

Su Hanshan snorted a voice in his nose, and said with a light face, "Of course I want to go." ”
