Chapter 033: Lying Mountain Bandits in Crouching Tiger Mountain
When Zhang Shaoyang heard this, he immediately became interested: "Is it possible that you know?"
"Jokes, I've been in the rivers and lakes for a few years, and I don't dare to say anything else, I still hear about these strange things on the rivers and lakes. The fat man said with an arrogant face.
Seeing the fat man's smug appearance, the little worm pouted: "I'm bragging here again." ”
The fat man's face flushed, and he said hurriedly: "Who said I was bragging, let me tell you, this sword list is the name of the sword casting master Mr. Wei Hong two hundred years ago, Mr. Wei just listed the famous swords on the rivers and lakes according to the fame and the material of the sword, and later his old man's name was recognized by the people in the rivers and lakes, and it was called the sword list." ”
However, with the birth of a new good sword, the sword list has experienced several changes in ranking, until a hundred years ago, Sun Shuyang, the first sword master, improved the sword list, that is, not to rank by sword, but to use the sword as long as the person who can defeat the sword master in front of the ranking, he can improve the ranking of the sword. ”
In this way, the sword itself is not so important, but the sword master is used to go forward and succeed, and everyone wants to occupy a place on the sword list, but now there are only twenty places on the sword list. ”
"There are so many sword masters in the world, and the sword list is only ranked twenty, so how powerful are these twenty people!" Zhang Shaoyang sighed.
"That's not it, let's just say that the sword immortal Yao Sanming, maybe it's an immortal!" The fat man rarely didn't laugh at Zhang Shaoyang, but instead looked fascinated.
"Yao Sanming?" Zhang Shaoyang silently recited this name once in his heart, the last time he was in distress in Jiangling, he met that Huang Chongzhen, and mentioned this name when he talked to the mysterious figure who did not show up, listening to the meaning of those two, Huang Chongzhen seemed to want to find Yao Sanming for a duel, could it be that the achievement was to compete for the ranking of this sword list?
Seeing that the fat man really understood something, Zhang Shaoyang asked, "Have you heard of Huang Chongzhen?"
"That's naturally knowing, known as Huang Laowei, the third person on the sword list, that is a legendary character, he defeated the third old-timer on the sword list with a mortal sword, hey, how do you know this name?" the fat man was shocked and said in surprise.
"Hehe, I just heard it from one place, and suddenly remembered. Zhang Shaoyang said with a smile, but his heart was turbulent, he didn't expect that he had actually met the third person on the sword list, and he saved a life.
A few people talked, gradually away from the bamboo forest, the official road bent and bent, to the front was blocked by a big mountain, this mountain shape resembles a Crouching Tiger, so there is the name of Crouching Tiger Mountain, the mountain is not surprising, but the interesting thing is that the middle of Crouching Tiger Mountain is cut off by a deep canyon, one end is the head of the tiger, the other is the tail of the tiger, and the official road must pass through the middle of the canyon.
It is said that more than ten years ago, the emperor chose a concubine in Jiangnan, several fathers-in-law plus a team of forbidden troops, and the rest were beautiful and lovely people, a group of convoys were mighty and full of momentum.
The father-in-law knew that among these women, a few would inevitably become their masters in the future, so they were polite to these women. And the girls are competing with each other to be lively, this will be a time to enter the palace, not to mention a concubine, even a nobleman, that is also the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue, I have always heard that the father-in-law is a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor, so don't seize the opportunity to perform!
So singing and laughing along the way, the smell of fat powder on the road floated for ten miles, and when they arrived in the Crouching Tiger Mountain Canyon, it was even more fragrant, and the father-in-law was just going back, the forbidden army was different, they were originally young and strong, at this time I saw so many beautiful women in front of me, and I didn't know how many times I swallowed my saliva secretly, but no matter how hot their eyes were, they didn't dare to offend these women selected for His Majesty the Emperor, that was a big crime to kill the head, although the beauty was good, how could life matter?
Although I don't dare to make a time, but my eyes grow on my body, and I look at it twice from time to time, it's always good, this is a rare beauty difference, and when I return to the capital, I don't dare to look at it so blatantly.
But who knew that there was no Crouching Tiger in this Crouching Tiger Mountain, but there was a group of bold thieves, a swarm of bees surrounded this group of convoys in the middle, and when they saw these cars of beautiful girls, their eyes were straight, and they all shouted to be caught back in the village to serve Lao Tzu and pass on the ancestors to the village.
The forbidden army was already lax, and when they saw the bandits, who were several times more numerous than them, they were too timid to fight.
In the end, the commander of the forbidden army was a character, an order, suddenly the canyon shouted to kill the sky, and finally escaped from the canyon and returned to the capital, after the emperor knew, he ordered the county of Piyang County to clear this nest of bandits within three days, otherwise he would take off his head.
Since then, this nest of thieves has disappeared, and I don't know whether it was exterminated or scared away, in short, Miyang County Cheng was promoted to three levels in a row, and was given a right secretary of the seventh grade, so he became a Beijing official, which is a happy event with green smoke on the ancestral tomb.
As for the newly appointed Li Xiancheng, he doesn't have such a good life, he has been in this position for more than ten years, and he has never been promoted to the official rank.
Zhang Shaoyang has a deep memory of the canyon of Wohu Mountain, there is an underground undercurrent in the canyon, you can hear the sound of rushing water, but you can't see the stream, until you get out of the canyon, you can see a bend of clear water coming out of the ground.
In the valley, you can sometimes hear the echo of the sound of entering the water, which is pleasant, like a crisp silver bell, which is particularly magical.
Several people rode into the valley, and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing in their faces, this canyon is deep, and it is normal to see the sun all year round, and it is normal to be colder than outside, and at this time, above the heads of several people, several men with fierce eyes are staring closely at the few people who enter the valley below, and beside these men, a person wearing a yamen service uniform is particularly conspicuous.
"Are these people?" the Mai man at the head spat on the ground, spit out the dry grass that had been chewed to minced pieces, and looked at the official beside him.
The official obviously knew these bandits, and said lightly: "It's them, Master Li said, as long as they are killed, they can pay less than half of the offerings this year." ”
"Okay, you tell Master Li that wrapping up your brothers and killing a few white-faced scholars is not the same as mowing the grass. The man in sackcloth sneered, and with a slight turn, he revealed a scar on the side of his face from the sideburns to the side of his mouth, which looked particularly penetrating.
Watching the officials walk away, a few bandits surrounded the man in Mai, and said worriedly: "Big brother, did you say that the dog official surnamed Li is harming us, if we kill these scholars and spread them to the capital, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more killings, and then the county official surnamed Li will be promoted to the third level?"
The man in sackcloth smiled: "That dog official is not so stupid, he collected so much money from us, he knows the consequences of forcing us into a hurry, and it is better to be the emperor of the land in this side of the land than to be a sesame petty official in the capital that everyone can step on, this account, he is much more refined than his predecessors." ”
"The eldest brother is still thoughtful. ”
"Well, inform the brothers, just in case, do it cleanly, preferably without leaving any traces. ”
The brother under his command responded and turned around and didn't take two steps, and the man in sackcloth said: "The one who walks in the front, at first glance, is the son of a rich family, don't kill it first, he probably has a lot of silver on him, and that chick, catch Lao Tzu back to be the wife of the village." ”
Seeing a few people entering the valley, the man in sackcloth sneered, these scholars looked white and clean, and somehow provoked the dog official surnamed Li, he has been a bandit in this Crouching Tiger Mountain for decades, and he has given the county surnamed Li filial piety and silver all these years.
In fact, it is not easy for the government to exterminate them, let's just say that the terrain of this Crouching Tiger Mountain, if you want to go from the south of the mountain to the north of the mountain, there is no other road except this canyon, unless you go around for hundreds of miles, in that case, the government has not yet entered the mountain, and his brothers have found out the news, once they hide in the mountain, where will these officers and soldiers go to suppress?
The reason why I chose to suffer from this scumbag is because the business that comes and goes is simply not enough to feed a group of people!
And once the money is paid to the government, the county lord will turn a blind eye, even if they swagger to the city to rob, the people of the government will not treat them well, think about this world, what background can have the government hard?
It's not that no one sued, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he doesn't even care about the history of the Tangzhou assassin, let alone the big officials in the capital, some people sue once or twice, and they are all imprisoned by the government on trumped-up charges, so who else dares to take the risk of suering?
The man in sackcloth smiled even more, and said sharply: "Don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless, just blame your own bad life!"
