South of Jingxiang, north of Tiezhang Peak.

There's a Taoyuan town here.

On the small river that meanders outside the town, the sound of ancient chanting comes from a colorful boat.

"Jasper is made up of a tree high, and ten thousand green silk threads hang down. ”

Another person in the boat then sang: "I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors." ”

After speaking, several people burst into laughter, which was mixed with the voice of the woman's clever words and persuasion.

The boatman stood at the stern of the boat, listening to the people in the boat, still shaking his head and reveling.

After a while, he came back to his senses and saw a merchant walking on the shore, waving his hand and shouting, "Ah Liu, hurry up and sell goods early?"

The man named Ah Liu was pushing a small wooden cart full of rare things, when he heard the sound, he turned his head to see the boatman in the river, and greeted with a smile: "Yes! Come back to me and have a look? There are many good things!"

"Okay, let's see it another day!" the boatman replied with a smile, and when he saw that the curtain in the middle of the boat had been opened, a Confucian with a flushed face inside looked out, and asked, "Guest, do you have something to order?"

"To be called...... It's called Childe!" the man's eyes were misty.

"Yes, you want to call Childe!hahahaha!" Several people in the boat echoed, and they all laughed.

"What's the matter? Childe. The boatman was smiling.

The Confucian squinted his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked very useful: "It's called...... Call the man who just spoke to you...... Come here! people...... How lively!" The corners of his mouth were grinning, and he swayed from side to side.

A crisp female voice came from inside: "Childe, you're drunk!"

"I ...... I'm not drunk!"

"So, please have another glass of wine?" the woman said with a smile.

"Beauty advises wine!...... Do you dare to obey?"

There was another burst of laughter from the boat, which made Ah Liu on the shore look envious.

He shook his head to himself, continued to push the cart, and walked forward, gradually leaving behind the colorful boat parked in the river, and came to the archway at the entrance of the town.

It's just that when he came here, he buried his head lower and pushed the cart harder and harder. He was not the only one, but the pedestrians around him hurried by with their heads bowed when they passed by.

Beside the merchant, a mother and son walked by opposite each other.

At this time, the child looked back at the archway above his head and asked his mother beside him, "Mother, look at the ...... hanging on it."

The child's mother hurriedly covered his mouth, turned the child's head back, and said, "Don't look!"

The child broke away from his mother's hand, pointed to a scholar not far away, and said, "Isn't he watching too? Why can't I?"

"Tsk, you take care of the house, tell you not to look at it, don't look at it!" said the mother, her steps quickened, and she led the child away.

The scholar who the child had just pointed to was staring at the archway at this time, and said in a low voice: "Where do you not meet in life, I don't come to you, but you have found me! It's a pity that you have only one head left." ”

Following the gaze of the scholar, there was a bloody human head hanging under the archway, with a dead look, which was the Sun account room who escaped that day.

The person dressed as a scholar was Yun Tian, and he had calculated the number of days it would take ordinary people to go south, and then spent more than a month beating the gang of bandits into a locker.

Seeing that no one dared to go south again, I was afraid that the rest of the village would kill the old and young women and children in the village like Liu Huquan in Heifeng Village, and pull out nails one by one.

It's just that although the people in the other cottages are cruel, they didn't kill the mountain people in the village, but only used the surplus grain tightly for the young and strong, and after a few days, the mountain people in each village have starved to death.

Taking advantage of the fact that most of the mountain people were hungry and cold, but still barely gasping for breath, Yuntian wiped out all the thieves in each village and distributed the surplus grain to the mountain people.

However, this was only saved for a while, and Yuntian finally took them out of Qinling one after another and settled down in the Southern Song Dynasty.

After the fact, there are villains who want to make money from it and persecute the mountain people who have just escaped.

Seeing this, Yuntian made a clever plan, taking advantage of the mountain people to spread the words of the gods, moved a few big stones from the mountain, carved the word "retreat", and placed them in front of the county yas.

The ancients still believed in the immortals, and Yuntian really suppressed a number of county officials, together with the county officials, who were all anxious for a while, and they all worked hard to settle those mountain people, and they didn't mention anything about money.

Seeing this, Yun Tian went south along the official road and came to the area around the Iron Palm Peak, looking for the person who had escaped before.

However, after searching for several days, there was still no trace of him.

Just as he was about to give up, he heard some gossip outside Taoyuan Town.

Some people say that there are thieves outside the province who entered the country and were killed by the chivalrous Iron Palm Gang, and the matter was reported to the county official, who praised him, and cut off the thief's head and hung it at the entrance of the town to set an example.

It's just that some people wonder that there are no thieves here, so who is this move for?

Everyone talked about it, but they still couldn't figure out why.

It's just a more reliable statement, it is said that a few good girls have disappeared in the town recently, thinking that there are thieves abducting and trafficking in human beings, and the county official's actions are used to warn those thieves.

Others responded to the agreement, saying that they were rushing to catch up with the goods, passing through the entire Jingxiang, along the way such news was endless, and there were people missing everywhere, some places were children on the street, and some places were female dependents at home, and there were countless people.

In recent days, people have been a little panicked, but they have repeatedly reported to the officials, and the county officials in various localities have always said that they cannot find out, and the case has been delayed again and again, and finally it has not been resolved.

The people who have lost their families have been forced to grieve all day long, and as the days pass, their hopes become more and more dim, so their faces gradually lose their color.

As soon as Yun Tian heard these messy news, although he was puzzled, he also pressed it for the time being. He searched for the direction of the news and came to the source of the rumors, outside Taoyuan Town.

Poor Sun's account room was hung here, and the sun had been basking for a few days.

Yun Tian looked at it for a while, pondering about what had happened around him recently, until the officials of the county government on both sides looked over, and then he set off and walked into Taoyuan Town.

Walking around left and right, I found a teahouse, and Yuntian entered it.

There was a storyteller in it, telling the story of a villager in the north who was rescued by an immortal from a bandit. In the story, there is a golden armor immortal general for a while, and for a while, a scholar fox, a snake spirit, a scorpion spirit or something, the farther and farther he goes, he listens to Yuntian inexplicably, and his brain swells for a while.

The people at the bottom listened to it with relish, and they didn't go far away, so they were naturally very curious about the things outside, and they were even more interested in fairies and ghosts.

This storyteller is running around again, carrying a lot of anecdotes in his stomach, that is, he goes to various teahouses, saying that it is used as a pastime for others, in exchange for some food money.

Yun Tian shook his head for a while, found a table in the corner where no one was, sat down and ordered a pot of tea, and waited carefully. This storyteller is more well-informed than the average person, and if you sit here for a while, you may be able to hear something.

It's just that after a while of telling the story, he smiled and accepted the reward from the listener, and then retired.

Followed by a woman in Tsing Yi, holding a pipa in her hand. His posture is medium, and the sound of music is especially ear-catching.

Yun Tian was about to get up to pursue the storyteller, when he suddenly noticed someone coming next to him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was two men in strong suits, and they hugged their fists: "I don't know who this person is? Fang just stood outside the town for a long time." ”

"I don't know the two?"

"Oh, I'm two disciples of the Iron Palm Gang. I heard that someone was staring at the thief's head for a long time under the town's archway, so I came to ask, I wonder what your Excellency has to do with the thief?"

"It's just a one-sided relationship. ”

"Then it doesn't matter? So, I'm offended, and I'm offended. The two of them said, turning to leave.

There was a person outside the door, and when he saw that the two of them glanced at him, he nodded his head and came to the wall next to Yuntian and crouched outside, as if he wanted to follow Yuntian.

Yun Tian smiled helplessly and said, "It's not unrelated. As soon as he finished speaking, the two men stopped, and several tea customers who were close to them hurriedly threw a few copper coins on the table for a while, got up and left in a hurry.

The two of them came to the cloud sky, and one of them said in a deep voice, "Do you want to ask?"

Yun Tian laughed: "He lost something on the way, and I chased it all the way." ”

The two of them looked abrupt, and the man asked again: "It's a matter of thieves, and it's a big deal, can you let the two of you look at it?"

"Self-reliance, this is what you Iron Palm Gang is all about. As he spoke, Yun Tian took out an iron token, which was accidentally thrown away by Sun Ledger that day.

The two of them looked at each other, and one of them asked, "I wonder if your Excellency can move upstairs to the elegant seat?" The two of us are specially on duty in Taoyuan Town, and in order to ensure the safety of the party, I want to carefully understand the details before and after. ”

"Yes, please lead the way. The other party's words were in the middle of the world, and he also had something he wanted to ask.

The Iron Palm Gang is a major faction in the south, and most of the news asked from them is clearer than the storyteller's knowledge.
