In Hunyuan County, in the western part of China, there is a tiger and wolf mountain, the terrain is steep, the wild beasts are numerous, and the people are inaccessible, however, on such a mountain, I don't know when? This gang of bandits, all of them are tall and powerful, and they are extremely vicious, they not only eliminated the numerous fierce birds and beasts on the mountain, built cottages, blocked the road and robbed, killed people and sold goods, kidnapped tickets for extortion, but also went down the mountain every once in a while to scratch the local people, raid houses and houses, burn and kill, plunder, and do evil.

At this moment, it has hurt the people of Xining Town at the foot of the Tiger Wolf Mountain, many people's property has been robbed, and all the big girls and little daughters-in-law who are a little beautiful have been taken captive up the mountain by the tiger and wolf-like bandits, ravaged and destroyed unscrupulously, and the tortured people complained bitterly, and had no choice but to report to the government of Hunyuan County, asking the officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits and keep the people safe, what was the result? Ma Minghui, the magistrate of Hunyuan County, came with the general officials, but after they just bluffed at the foot of Tiger Wolf Mountain, the bandits were stunned and did not catch it, but they knocked out a large sum of money for military expenses and hard work, which made the suffering people worse.

Ma Minghui, the magistrate of Hunyuan County, left Xining Town with the officials, and as soon as the people settled the accounts, they were suddenly angry: the silver taels spent by the officers and soldiers on this trip had far exceeded the amount of silver that had been robbed by bandits.

The government seemed to be unable to count on it, and the old mayor of Xining Town, Guan Dongming, sighed, convened the townspeople to discuss for a long time, and decided to pin his hopes on the masters among the people, as long as anyone can calm down this banditry, they will reward him with 10,000 taels of silver.

Not long after the reward notice was posted, a young man in Moxi Town, which is adjacent to Xining Town, came to meet the mayor of Kanto Minglao and said that he had a way to deal with this group of bandits.

The old mayor Guan Dong Ming couldn't help frowning when he looked at the person, only to see that he was dressed in a long robe, polite, fair-skinned, and picturesque eyebrows, and turned out to be a thin scholar about 20 years old who was powerless.

This scholar's name is Ping'an, his parents are dead, he is alone, one person is full, the whole family is not hungry, his ancestors left him a large amount of inheritance, he does not worry about eating and drinking, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he is nosy, he saw that the old mayor of Kanto did not believe his appearance, so he shook his head and said with a chewing word:" According to Xiaosheng, a scholar to think, bandits are also people with fathers and mothers, and they must know how to be loyal, filial piety and shame, so they will definitely understand what the living people are for? ”

After listening to this, the old mayor of Guandong Ming is over seventy years old, full of children and grandchildren, and he is old and fine, after he listened, he shouted: "Okay, young man, you are really different, then, the net worth and life of the people of Li in Xining Town will be fully explained to you!"

The old mayor of Kanto Ming said impassionedly, but he was secretly laughing in his heart: "People die for money, birds die for food, the world is full of wonders, there is such a fool in the world who persuades tigers to eat vegetarians, so it seems that this nerd is born in a hurry to send him to death for the 10,000 taels of silver, that is certain." ”

Ping An said goodbye to the old mayor Guan Dongming, and immediately went up to Tiger Wolf Mountain alone, who knows, before others walked to the foot of Tiger Wolf Mountain, they were intercepted by a little minion guarding the mountain halfway.

When the little minion saw Ping'an's calm and calm appearance, he had no bottom in his heart, and secretly guessed: "This person must be hidden and skilled, otherwise, how dare he come to Longtan Tiger's Den alone?"

So, the little minion stepped forward, tentatively and Ping An had a hand, who knows, this little minion's strength has not yet been used, Ping An is already embarrassed on all fours, and the momentum in his mouth is not reduced: "Don't be rough, don't be rough, I came to see your big boss, there is a big matter to discuss, in case you miss the great cause of the cottage, can you afford it?"

The little minion guarding the mountain was stopped, and immediately went to the cottage to meet the big boss Wang Zengqi.

As soon as he saw the face of the great boss Wang Zengqi, the scholar Ping'an said in a righteous and solemn manner: "Isn't it beautiful to have a peaceful world, a bright and prosperous world, everyone to live and work in peace and contentment, and to work and study in fishing and woods? Why did Your Excellency gather in the Wuthering Mountains and Forests to engage in this despisedly despised industry? Having said that, Your Excellency does not think for yourself, but also has to seek a future for future generations, yes or no?"

The big boss Wang Zengqi has long listened to him, he is angry and funny, it is easy to kill this nerd, but it is not fun to tease him.

So, Wang Zengqi said solemnly: "Scholar, do you think that I am naturally willing to fall into the grass? But you open your eyes and take a good look, in this year, demons and monsters are rampant, the public court is dark, officialdom is corrupt, taxes and miscellaneous taxes are excessive, and there are many names.

When Ping An heard this, he shook his head and said: "Otherwise, otherwise, since it is the trend of the times, and the officials force the people to rebel, then after you become a strongman, you should only target the government, so why bother to get along with the small people in Xining Town?"

When Wang Zengqi, the big boss, heard this, he became even more angry, he stared at a pair of frightening blood-red eyes, and shouted: "No, scholars, the residents of Xining Town are even more hateful! That year, my hometown suffered a terrible plague, my father and mother were sick and returned to the west, the cold wind was cold and snowy, when I was alone in Xining Town, I was hungry and cold, but I began to beg along the door, but I begged all over the town of Xining, but I couldn't get a mouthful of hot water to drink and a steamed bun to eat! As the saying goes: the dog looks down on people, at this moment, I don't know where out of a big wolf dog, fiercely ran over, this animal, first to me 'Wangwang' barking, and then violently pounced,' Woo', a bite of my foot and neck, the pain was unbearable for a while, pity me in the snow desperately struggled, shouting for help, the blood stained the snow red, and the people in Xining town heard my call for help, not to drive away the vicious dog, to save my life, but to smile and smile around to see the excitement, not only did no one rescue me, but there were even people who lost their conscience to shout at his dog, also joined the battle......"

When the big boss Wang Zengqi said this, tears fell like rain, his voice was choked, his hands "snorted", and he picked up his two trouser tubes, and the dozens of scars left by dog bites were shocking and impressive.

At this moment, it was Ping'an's turn to be speechless, and after a while, he said weakly: "Even so, it is not advisable to fight violence with violence......

The big boss Wang Zengqi waved his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "My life is big, I shouldn't die, I held the two legs that were bitten by the dog and the flesh was blurred, crawled out of the inhumane Xining Town, met the doctor gluttony, and rescued me." Since then, I have made a poisonous oath, if he is successful, he will never spare Xining Town, this year, the government is ruthless, and the small people in Xining Town are also as vicious as tigers and wolves, it is really worthy of being the first town under the Tiger Wolf Mountain! Okay, sour Xiucai, you don't need to say more, since ancient times: Xiucai meets soldiers, it is reasonable to say, I will change it to you, that is, the bandits meet Xiucai, and you can't understand it, but although I am a big old man, I don't know a few big characters, but I understand all the truths, therefore, I don't embarrass you, a scholar, but, the ugly words come to the front, if you meet again next time, you bite the text and put the big reason, I won't be so polite to you, okay, reader, you immediately roll down the mountain for Lao Tzu now!"

In July, the fire flowed, the cottage was particularly hot, the big boss Wang Zengqi was emotional, and he had a hot sweat in his head, so he tore off another sweat towel around his waist to wipe the sweat, Ping An inadvertently glanced at it, and found that the sweat towel was pink, embroidered with a yellow rose.

Ping An immediately went down the mountain and came to the county seat, and after some careful inquiry, he finally learned that there was such a sweat towel for sale in a department store in the north of the city.

Under the vine touch the melon, inquire carefully, it turns out that the girl who hangs the head card in the Spring Festival Courtyard in the county town likes this kind of sweat towel the most, and she will come to buy a few every once in a while.

There was nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get them, so Ping'an asked casually: "Shopkeeper, do you know?

The shopkeeper replied: "Her name is Yellow Rose, what's the matter, are you interested in her?" Hahaha, a scholar, a man who is not a romantic teenager, dies under a pomegranate skirt, and is also a ghost." ”

However, Yingchun Courtyard is a brothel, if you want to see the yellow rose with the head card, you must take the silver to open the way, Ping An has a decision in his heart, so, without saying a word, he went home to find someone to sell the ancestral house and the field property, and then he carried a large bag of silver, and came to the spring brothel with a high spirit, and named the yellow rose girl who wanted to pack the head card.

After slapping the silver bag of more than 20,000 taels on the table, Ping An said to the old bustard in the Spring Festival brothel with great ambition: "Mother Huang, are these silver taels enough to cover your Yellow Rose girl for two months?"

When the old bustard saw that Qian's eyes were open, he laughed and trembled, and hurriedly said, "Childe, enough, enough." However, on the fifteenth day of every month, the old man does not dare to make his own decisions and promise you, so I have to ask my rose girl. ”

"In that case, then, Mother Huang, you called out the rose girl of your family and asked me in person. ”

"Childe, wait a minute, the old body will come when he goes. ”

"Mom, please!"

The old bustard called out the yellow rose, and looked at it peacefully, "Wow, you look so beautiful!"

The old bustard secretly laughed in her heart, the beauty of the yellow rose, no one can match, she asked in person, the yellow rose said: "Mother knows, on the fifteenth day of every month, that person is going to come and occupy the daughter's body, and the daughter can't help it, according to the daughter, on the fifteenth day of the month, you can't accompany this son!"

When Ping An heard this, he was anxious, he took out a piece of yellow bright gold from his arms with a big grin, and slapped it in front of the old bustard and the yellow rose girl, and then, in a daze, said: "Since I saw the girl since I was a child, I can't keep my soul, I really don't want to be separated, I just want to stay together, can't Miss fulfill me?"

The yellow rose girl was very moved, but she was still embarrassed, and said: "Childe, within a month, can't you be empty for a day? On the fifteenth day of every month, even if Childe is now piling up a mountain of gold in front of the slave family, the slave family is in a difficult situation, and the reason for this, my mother knows, and it is difficult for the slave family to speak." ”

After listening to Ping'an, he sighed helplessly and said: "Since the girl has something difficult to say, it is inconvenient to say it, and Xiaosheng is not difficult to be difficult with, so it is okay, except for the fifteenth every month, you have to accompany me at other times." ”

"Childe, okay!"

Ping An couldn't help it, although he sighed on his lips, he was happy in his heart: "If your guess is right, on the fifteenth day, Wang Zengqi, the big boss of Tiger Wolf Mountain, will definitely come to the Spring Festival brothel to prostitute yellow roses." ”

Sure enough, at dark time on the fifteenth day, Wang Zengqi, the big boss of Tiger Wolf Mountain, came impatiently.

The meeting once a month had already made Wang Zengqi look through the autumn water, but there was no way, he was a bandit leader, he came to the brothel too often, and it was easy to expose his whereabouts, and he was arrested by the government in the brothel and capsized in the gutter, and the gains outweighed the losses! Besides, there were hundreds of young women who had been taken captive from the mountain on the cottage, but none of them were as beautiful as the yellow roses, but it was still possible to solve the physical problems.

In the room of the yellow roses, the fragrance is fragrant, the candlelight is faint, and the yellow roses are graceful and coveted. Wang Zengqi, the big boss on Tiger Wolf Mountain, was overjoyed, stepped forward, hugged him, and shouted: "Be careful of your liver, you want to kill me......"

Wang Zengqi's words suddenly stopped, a sharp pain suddenly hit, he looked down and saw that on his chest, a sharp blade had reached the handle, and then looked at the person in front of him, where is the yellow rose that he has been thinking about for a long time? He is clearly a man's pretence, white and thin, with picturesque eyebrows, déjà vu.

It turned out that Ping An had already sneaked in, and Yellow Rose was gagged by him at the moment and was stuffed under the bed.

Looking at Ping An again, he slowly beat it, took off the yellow rose shirt and headdress he was wearing, and said with a sneer: "Wang Zengqi, do you still recognize it?"

"You...... You...... Are you that scholar?"

"Yes, it's me, we're meeting again!" Ping'an said, then pulled out the dagger, and immediately bled profusely, Wang Zengqi struggled to say the last sentence before he died: "You...... You...... You'll regret it......" and then fell to the ground reluctantly.

Killing Wang Zengqi, the big bandit boss on Tiger Wolf Mountain, was of course a great achievement, but Ping'an did not rush to Xining Town to receive the reward, but came to the county government first.

In the public court, after Ping An said what had happened, Ma Minghui, the magistrate of the county, nodded and said: "Zuo, go to the brothel of Yingchun first, bring the body of the bandit leader Wang Zengqi back to the yamen, and carefully check the record, Mr. Ping, you go home to rest, and after the county verifies, I will reward you." ”

"Go home? Where is there a home! Don't hide it from your lordship, in order to cover the yellow roses and assassinate the bandit leader Wang Zengqi, Xiaosheng sold all the ancestral house and farm property, and now he is waiting for the bounty to live!"

"Oh, let's do it, Mr. Ping, in the middle of the county, there is an abandoned City God Temple, now that you are homeless and have nowhere to go, you can go to the City God Temple to live temporarily!"

Helpless, Ping An had to live in the abandoned ruined city god temple to settle down, the hot summer, the heat was unbearable, he had to be bitten by mosquitoes, living like a year, miserable!

One day, two days...... Half a month has passed, there has been no movement of the government, peace is inexplicable, suddenly, he went to the street, heard a thunderbolt news: because of the merit of suppressing bandits, the county magistrate Ma Minghui will be transferred to the prefect in the near future.

Ping An was shocked, and immediately rushed to the county yamen, and the three-way drum sounded, startling out of the county Ma Minghui's ascension hall.

Ma Minghui, the magistrate of the county, looked calm and asked what was the matter? Ping'an asked: "My lord, is there any follow-up to my killing of Wang Zengqi, the leader of the Tiger Wolf Mountain bandits?"

When Ma Minghui, the magistrate of the county, heard this, laughed out loud, and said: "Mr. Ping, how can you, a weak scholar who has no power to restrain chickens, be able to kill a bandit leader who is five big and three coarse? Wang Zengqi, the leader of the bandits in Tiger Wolf Mountain, obviously it took countless silver taels, countless strengths, and countless wisdom to kill him, especially the county who risked his life to fight him to the death, and I will not go into detail about the thrilling twists and turns. ”

Ping An still had to be aggrieved, and Ma Minghui, the magistrate of the county, sank his face, "snapped", slapped the shocked wood, and shouted: "If you want to talk nonsense again, you will be heavily responsible for the 30 boards and be imprisoned!"

Ping'an was so frightened that he ran out of the lobby, ahh

Guan Dongming, the old mayor of Xining, saw that he was safe, and he was overjoyed to come forward, and said: "I have been waiting for the heroes for a long time. ”

The old mayor Guan Dongming and the villagers in Xining Town took a sip of "heroes" and "righteous soldiers", and they shouted peacefully, dizzy, and unconsciously, they were drunk.

In the middle of the night, Ping'an was suddenly awakened, he only felt that it was extremely hot in all directions, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw that the three souls were gone, but he saw a fire outside the window.

Kong Ping hurriedly got up and opened the door, not wanting the door to be locked from the outside, he went to open the window again, and the window was nailed to death with iron nails, he was so anxious that he tore open his throat and shouted, however, the sound of wind and fire outside was screaming strangely, where could anyone still hear it?

Ping An couldn't get out, and he was in a hurry to die, when suddenly, there was a loud "bang", and the door was kicked open with his foot from the outside, and Ping An didn't look at it, and hurriedly ran out of the house as if he was dead.

As soon as he had run two steps, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of people, although it was already the middle of the night, but the faces of these people were covered with black cloths, and they all held torches in their hands.

Ping'an calmed down and said, "I know who you are?" Say, why do you want to burn me? I am your benefactor! Don't you feel ashamed to wait for such a favor to take revenge on me? What about your old mayor Guan Dongming? Come out, old fox, don't be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

As soon as the words fell, a person came out of the crowd, and slowly ripped off the black cloth on his face, it was Guan Dongming, the old mayor of the town with a fluttering white beard and a righteous face. The others also ripped off the black cloth covering their faces, and sure enough, they were all villagers from Xining Town.

The old mayor Guan Dongming said with an excited expression: "Mr. Ping, the government has long stated that they killed Wang Zengqi, the leader of the bandits in Tiger Wolf Mountain, and now, you have taken the risk to receive the bounty, and if we don't burn you, who will burn you? The door is locked, the window is nailed, I am very curious, I don't know how you escaped." ”

Ping An said: "Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, and I will not die in great trouble, thanks to the protection of the gods." Guan Dongming, let me ask you, do you really believe that Wang Zengqi, the bandit leader on Tiger Wolf Mountain, was killed by the government?"

The old mayor Guan Dongming suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, for the sake of your death, I don't need to hide it from you." The prostitute Huang Rose in the county hall, you used her brains to use her and successfully killed the bandit leader Wang Zengqi before and after, just out of the county office, she suddenly had a big accident, bizarre by a frightened wild horse trampled under the hooves, the flesh and blood blurred, miserable, died, the reason for this, naturally do not need to tell you more. In these years, what can those corrupt officials and corrupt officials do except stretch out their hands to their subordinates to ask for money, that is, to kowtow to their superiors and ask for officials? But, in spite of this, Mr. Ping, you must die, and if you don't die, the whole town will have to give you 10,000 taels of silver, but you see, who in our whole town is willing to give you a penny? Besides, if you are given two taels of silver, don't you directly admit that you killed Wang Zengqi, the bandit leader who is entrenched on Tiger Wolf Mountain? If I don't give you two taels of silver, where will I put the face of the mayor of the town in the future? Who will listen to me when I speak in the future? Therefore, I have to let you die in an accidental fire. ”

After the old mayor Guan Dongming finished speaking, he raised his hand, and more than a dozen tall and mighty strong men came forward with fierce eyes.

Ping An was not only not afraid, but sighed and said: "Wang Zengqi, the big boss on Tiger Wolf Mountain, said before he died that I would regret it, at that time, I didn't understand, but now I understand." Guan Dongming, old horseman, don't you really want to know how I escaped from the mortal fire? Let me tell you, it was the strongmen on Tiger Wolf Mountain who kicked open the door and saved me, and they have been secretly protecting me all along. Come out, brethren!"

Ping An made a move, only to see that in the dark, in an instant, thousands of big men poured out, all with fierce faces, carrying knives and sticks, the situation was immediately reversed, and the old patriarch and others were stunned in fright.

Ping'an said: "After I killed Wang Zengqi, the big boss on Tiger Wolf Mountain, these brothers of his, not only did not blame me, but sincerely invited me to go up the mountain to join the gang, because, first, they were dissatisfied with the original big boss Wang Zengqi's lustful nature, nostalgic brothels, looking for flowers and willows, and second, seeing that I was outstanding, bold and careful, I believe that following me, there will definitely be a future. At first, I resolutely refused, but now? I have seen through it, this year, not only the officials forced the people to rebel, but even the foolish people killed each other! Listen, from now on, Evil Wolf Town needs to hand over 10,000 taels of silver to the cottage every year, otherwise, hehehehe......"

Kong Ping looked up to the sky and laughed, this laughter was a little helpless and a little sad.

In Kong Ping's laughter, the hearts of the old patriarch and his group cooled little by little.

In front of everyone's eyes, Kong Ping shouted: "Brothers, the guys, follow me, let's go to surround the official mansion, do the right thing for heaven, first kill the dog official who deceived the king and asked for a reward, and then kill the fox and fake tiger to act for the tiger, and finally rob the silver taels in the government's inventory to strengthen our strength!"

"Okay, let's go!"
