Chapter 404: Eavesdropping
The two came to the outside of Liangshan County.
Unexpectedly, Liangshan County was not locked down. Two or three days have passed since someone led someone to rebel against and kill the county lieutenant, and there has been no movement in Jinan Mansion, which makes the two feel strange.
Rebelling and attacking the county seat is the number one crime of rebellion, and the prefect of Jinan will not be unaware, and the two of them are thinking about it, and there are two possibilities. One is that they want to cover up the news, and now that the autumn inspection is imminent, such a thing will happen, but it will affect their career and want to delay time;
Seeing that it was dark, the two decided to stay in the city, and by the way, they inquired about the news.
This Yellow Lotus Sect Master's real name is Huang, he is a prankster in Liangshan County, many years ago because of the crime of stealing a lawsuit and went to prison, in the prison, he was bullied, and later after an illness, he became mute.
After a serious illness, he often had strange behaviors, such as crawling on the beam of the cell in the middle of the night and squatting, making strange screams from his mouth, and then the jailer felt panicked, and he was not guilty of any serious crime, and released him.
After the Huang sect leader came out, he had no source of livelihood, and picked up things outside the Daode Temple every day, and later on the birthday of Daode Tianzun, he was caught, beaten badly, and forced him to eat half a catty of yellow lotus.
The whole person suddenly seemed to have a convulsion, and he actually spoke, claiming that he was the reincarnation of Daode Tianzun, and that the Jade Emperor, Houtu, Guan Gong, and Queen Mother were all his disciples. Behind him there were clouds and smoke, which made everyone frightened and bowed and worshipped.
Since then, the Huang Sect Leader has become a half-immortal body, and more and more people come to see the doctor and ask for medicine, he hired a Lang Zhong, prepared a few sets of herbs, burned the yellow lotus into pills to the patient, and bought a few sets of tricks from the Jianghu people to fool the patient.
Seeing the prospects of this industry, Sect Leader Huang prepared to make a big move and recruited thirty disciples. Those who are cured, let them preach merit, and those who are not cured, even coax and scare, let them shut up, and within two years, they will be famous in this Liangshan County, and even the county lieutenant's wife will invite him if he is sick. gradually called himself the leader of the Yellow Lotus Sect, and he had many followers.
Seeing that the purse was gradually bulging, the successful Huang sect leader made an abacus in his heart, and he had to look at Shu, the nature of people.
Not long ago, a young man came to his door and told him, "Collecting money for medical treatment is still a small way after all." ”
Sect Leader Huang asked, "Then what is the Great Dao?"
The young man said, "Of course it's a rebellion, once you succeed, the whole world will be yours." “
"Then dare to be kind, when the time comes, I will let people from all over the world buy my Yellow Lotus Pill. But what if it fails?"
"You are the reincarnation of the Daode Heavenly Venerable, how can you fail?"
This conversation gave the Huang sect leader supreme courage, and the young man secretly made suggestions, the Huang sect leader set up an incense platform outside Liangshan County, and sprinkled a handful of soybeans at the door, and in an instant, countless "heavenly soldiers" came out and captured the county seat of Liangshan.
When Xiao Jinyan entered the city, this matter was still spreading, and the surrounding county and state capitals were also frightened when they heard the news, and even sent people to investigate, but they couldn't even get close to the county seat.
It's just that after this Huang Sect Master entered the city, he did not raise the banner of righteousness, but lived in the county governor's mansion, and had a hot fight with more than a dozen aunts and wives of the county captain.
After learning the news from the shopkeeper, Xiao Jinyan and Jin Buchang couldn't cry or laugh. The two ordered the food and drink, and then asked, "Little brother, I heard that the Yellow River crossing is closed, I wonder if there is a way to cross the river?"
The man's face changed, "The Yellow Lotus Sect Master has great magical powers, and a few days ago, he cast a spell, crossed the river without his consent, and bleed the seven orifices to death. I advise you to die of this heart. ”
Xiao Jinyan also felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous, "When you say that, we want to open our eyes." ”
The guy's face was unhappy, "I offended the Yellow Lotus Sect Master, and you have to suffer." With that, he left in a huff.
That night, Xiao Jinyan said to Jin Bu, "This Liangshan county is full of weirdness, let's leave as soon as possible to see if we can hire a boat to cross the river." ”
Jin Buchang said, "You talk about no money every day, and I'm still thinking, why don't you go to the county government's treasury tonight to do a vote, and besides, there are many places for you to go to the capital to use money." ”
"Don't take ill-gotten gains. ”
Jin Buchang shook his head, "This is a bad word. As the saying goes, no matter whether it is white or yellow, as long as it can make the ghost grind, it is a good product. If we don't take it, the money will be spent by that magic stick. ”
Xiao Jinyan thinks about it, it makes sense.
As soon as the two of them went out, they were stopped by five or six facial differences. These officials all appeared to be wearing court uniforms, except for a yellow scarf tied around their heads.
The man pointed to the two of them and said to the officers and soldiers, "It's the two of them, today we discussed smuggling across the Yellow River, I didn't hear it right, and I reported to several officials overnight." ”
Xiao Jinyan said that we have no grievances and no enemies, why should you?
The man said, "You have offended the Yellow Sect Master, and we don't want to be implicated. ”
The chief official said, "You want to smuggle across the Yellow River?"
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'm going to the capital." ”
The official sneered, "It's not like you're going to the capital to file a complaint, right?"
"We're not interested. ”
The official pointed to a wall at the door, "Don't you see the notice posted at the corner of the street? The Yellow Sect mainly practices on the Yellow River, and from now on, the Yellow River will be blocked for half a month." ”
The walls are plastered with signs.
Jin Buchang stepped forward, followed the light, and looked at it for a long time, "I didn't say it, those who don't know are not guilty!"
The official said, "What is this?"
Jin Buchang read, "Today's surgery, tomorrow's work." Half an hour, no pain. ”
The official snorted coldly, "What a mess." What about this?"
Jin Buchang said, "Heavy money for children...... , Official, you don't know you if you dare to love. ”
The official said, "What do you mean by me being literate, I want you to read it yourself to deepen your impression." No, I posted it the day before yesterday. Let's see what this is?"
The words are a little small, Jin Bu borrowed a torch, leaned over, and read word by word, "Sexy dealer, deal cards online." ”
The official said angrily to a few subordinates, "What about the notice posted by Lao Tzu?"
A subordinate said, "Boss, is it this one?" It turned out that there was too much content on the wall of that notice, and the notices posted before were covered by the later notices.
Everyone tore off the top with all their hands and feet, but saw a notice posted in reverse, which was indeed a blockade of the Yellow River crossing.
Jin Buchang smiled and said, "You see, we don't blame us. ”
Where was the official willing to listen, and ordered someone to lock up the two, Xiao Jinyan was about to make a move, but was stopped by Jin Buchang, and let everyone take them back to the prison.
On the way, Xiao Jinyan asked in a low voice, "What the hell are you doing?"
"Someone leads the way, so we don't have to look for it ourselves. ”
The official sent the two to prison and took the brothers to drink. In the prison, there were many people from the three religions and nine streams, and when they saw the newcomers, they gathered around one after another.
The shackles on his body have not been removed, and Jin Buchang has thrown his hands at everyone, "Guys, you haven't slept yet!"
A man with thick eyebrows and hair said, "Isn't this a welcome ceremony for you?"
Jin Buchang smiled, "I can't afford this big gift." It's all a meeting in Pingshui, so you don't have to be so polite. ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
This kid is dying, and I don't know what happened.
"What did you do?"
Kim does not change his ways, "Cross the river." ”
"What kind of profound crime is crossing the river? Have you ever heard of it?" the man asked the people next to him, and they all shook their heads.
"Yes, so, we were wronged. ”
The man sneered, "Who here is not wronged? For example, I killed an official, and his mother was given thirty lives by the black-hearted master of the county lieutenant, and he was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn, and all the cases that had been backlogged in Liangshan County for three years were solved at once." ”
Jin Buchang expressed sympathy, "I can't jump for a few days." ”
At this moment, someone in the corner shouted, "Wronged!"
The man went up and kicked it, "You wronged a fart, and then break your legs in a rambling way." ”
The man's voice was weak, apparently badly injured, "Isn't my leg broken?"
"Who is this?"
"It's the black-hearted master who put me in prison. ”
One said: "Big brother, why do you tell him so much, first serve the tiger chair and chili water, when we first came in, we all ate it once." ”
Jin Buchang said, "It's okay, I won't rob you, I'll give you this one." ”
The man stepped forward to fight, and just as he stretched out his hand, he heard a click, and the set of shackles on Jin Buchang's body had come to him.
He came to the leader of the man, "Are you in charge here?"
"Why, you're not convinced?"
Jin Bu changed it was a slap, the man was furious, punched and hit, before he could get close, Jin Bu changed a few slaps in a row, so that his eyes were full of gold stars, the man knew that he was not an opponent, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Xiao Jinyan persuaded, "Okay, it's time to get down to business." ”
Jin Buchang came to the corner of the wall and asked the master, "This mansion, where is the silver vault?"
The master had been beaten and was dying, and someone asked, "If you save me, I will tell you." ”
Jin Buchang said to the man, "Find two people to carry him." ”
Xiao Jinyan came to the door of the cell, saw the sound of someone drinking and punching in the distance, and gently dismantled the cell door without making any movement.
When everyone saw his martial arts, their jaws dropped in shock.
Xiao Jinyan said to them, "You wait here, if anyone goes out, this shackle will be the end." ”
With that, with a force of both hands, the shackles were crumpled into a ball of scrap metal.
The people were obedient and did not make a sound.
There was an official at the door who was drinking.
Several people had drunk two jars, and they were drunk and hazy.
Jin Buchang stepped forward and punched with them, "Five heads, six six, three stars, you lost!"
The official said, "Lose, drink!"
Just took a sip, "No, how did you come out?"
Jin Buchang waved his palm repeatedly, knocked everyone unconscious, and walked out of the prison.
The master said, "The silver vault is in the northeast corner. It's a chain lock that only I can open. ”
In the county office, there are many soldiers who patrol the night, all with yellow scarves on their heads, looking very lazy and not very vigilant.
Came to the door of the vault.
"This is it?"
Master nodded, "The way to open the door is ......"
Before he finished speaking, Jin Buchang took out a wire from his arms, divided it by two, opened the door of the warehouse, and Xiao Jinyan said, "Okay, veteran." ”
Jin Buchang smiled, "The first time, the first time!"
Xiao Jinyan asked the prisoner to leave first, and when they left, the two broke into the warehouse. In the warehouse, there are more than ten large boxes.
Jin Buchang was surprised, "I can't imagine that such a poor and remote place, a county government treasury, has so much money!"
Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "The poorer the mountains and bad waters, the more the people who are exploited by the officials dig three feet into the ground, and they cry poor every day for Shangfeng." However, it is also a trouble to take away so much silver. ”
"If you can't do it, let's hire a carriage. ”
"The Yellow Lotus Sect Master has the method of sprinkling beans into soldiers, don't you have a big carrying spell in the Loose Sect?"
Jin Buchang pulled his face and said unhappily, "Anyway, we are also famous and decent, don't compare us with these crooked and evil ways, okay?"
As he spoke, he opened a box.
Empty.
Jin Buchang was disappointed, and opened another box, which was also empty! He was annoyed in his heart, and opened all the boxes in the vault in one go, and the entire vault was empty!
Outrageous.
It hurts so much.
Jin Buchang said angrily, "What kind of bullshit county government, I can't even find a copper plate!"
The dream of making a fortune has come to an end, Xiao Jinyan said in his heart that this is fine, just save effort, and hurry up is the right thing.
Jin Buchang was about to smash the box, but Xiao Jinyan grabbed him, made a silent gesture, and pointed out the door again.
Footsteps could be heard in the distance.
The two of them closed the box in a row, hid in a box again, and buckled the box with their backhands. At this time, I heard two people outside coming to the door of the storeroom.
"Hey, why didn't you have a lock?"
With a creak, the storeroom door was pushed open.
Although Xiao Jinyan couldn't see the outside, he could also hear that two people came in the warehouse, one of whom was really full of qi and martial arts.
One said, "Sect Leader Huang, the county government has occupied it for two days, have you found it?"
Xiao Jin Yanxin said that it was originally the Yellow Lotus Sect Master, but it was just from him that this Sect Master didn't seem to know martial arts, but he didn't know who the other person was.
Listening to their tone, it seems like they are looking for something here?
The Yellow Lotus Sect Master said, "I've sent someone to turn this place inside and out, and I'm almost three feet into the ground." How many more days will you be accommodating?"
"I am accommodating to you, who is accommodating me?" the man said in a bad tone, "You also know who you are working for, and rebellion is not a joke." ”
The Yellow Lotus Sect Leader said, "I don't want to either, you forced me." I have a good sect master, and it is not appropriate to have eight hundred taels of silver a year, so why bother?"
"The ship is already on board, and it won't be so easy to get out. The man said coldly, "I have dragged the soldiers and horses of Jinan Mansion, but the people from the Beida Camp will come soon, before dawn, if you can't find that thing again, I will send you, the sect leader, to see Daode Tianzun." ”
With that, the man left the storehouse and disappeared into the night.
The Yellow Lotus Sect Leader was annoyed in his heart and sat on top of a box, and that box was the one where Xiao Jinyan and Jin Buchang were hiding.
The Yellow Lotus Sect Leader asked, "Did you all hear that?"
Xiao Jinyan was shocked in his heart, the martial arts of both of them were not low, even the person who left before had never sensed the existence of the two, this Yellow Lotus Sect Master, it seemed that he had no martial arts, how could he know that they were hiding here?
