Brother Niu stayed for a while before he reacted, and said hesitantly: "You...... Won't you kill us?"

"Why should I kill you?" asked Li Mubai with a smile.

Ah Yong also reacted, and looked at Li Mubai with some surprise, he was just a little natural, a little timid, but not stupid, just said that just now because Brother Niu also apologized like this, he can only say that his brain circuit is too developed, and he only understands it now.

Brother Niu hurriedly said: "Thank you for sparing your life! Thank you for sparing your life......

"Okay!" Li Mubai waved his hand impatiently, "You haven't answered my question yet!"

Brother Niu immediately replied: "We are the villagers of a small mountain village nearby. ”

Li Mubai was a little puzzled, how could two honest villagers become robbers, so he asked: "Then you good villagers are not right, how can you come to do this business of blocking the road and robbing?"

"This ......" Brother Niu hesitated a little.

"That's because I was forced by a gang of bandits. Ah Yong suddenly interjected, he felt that this was a good opportunity, this person's martial arts were so good, maybe he could drive away the gang of bandits.

"Oh, what's going on?" Li Mubai became curious.

Brother Niu sighed and said, "I'll talk about this matter......!"

"Then make a long story short!" Li Mubai interrupted.

Brother Niu was taken by Li Mubai's obscenity, so he could only nod: "Okay." A few days ago, a group of bandits came up on this mountain, forcing our nearby villages to give them food and money, and naturally no one agreed at first, but several people were killed, and under the threat of their force, we had to leave. But they are really too deceitful, and they come here every three or five days, so how can we stand this! So we planned to fight together from several villages near us, and gathered together the strong people who knew some martial arts from each village, and we also spent money to hire several martial artists......

Li Mubai heard a little strange, and interrupted again: "Why didn't you report to the official?"

"Report to the official?" Brother Niu sighed helplessly again: "We also tried to report to Mingyang City, but people didn't pay attention to it at all, we suspect that these thieves may be sent by those big families." ”

"Oh, which family is in charge of this Mingyang City? Will you use this method to make money?" Li Mubai is a little incredible, this appearance is too ugly, right?

"Daxia shouldn't be from the neighborhood, right?" asked Brother Niu.

"Not really, what's the problem?"

"The city lord of Mingyang City is a member of the Huang family, this Huang family arose more than ten years ago, it is a burst of households, if it weren't for the original Lu family who offended someone who shouldn't be offended and was destroyed, and the Huang family happened to have a little relationship with that person, it wouldn't have become a city lord family and be powerful in Mingyang City. Brother Niu clenched his fists, obviously dissatisfied with the Huang family for more than a day or two.

"What is the specific situation of the Huang family?" Li Mubai became interested, he was going to Mingyang City soon, and it was always right to know more about the Huang family.

Brother Niu sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "The head of the Huang family, the current city lord of Mingyang City, Huang Shiren, ......"

"Huang Shiren?"

Brother Niu was puzzled: "Yes, is there any problem? Do you know him?"

Li Mubai shook his head: "I don't know, it's just this name...... It's a little familiar, you go on!"

"Oh," Brother Niu nodded, and continued: "This Huang Shiren worshipped the person who destroyed the Lu family as a teacher, and under the power of that person, the Huang family developed smoothly, plus it was originally a small family, and gradually became the largest family in Mingyang City, and the Huang family also became the city lord family three years ago, and Huang Shiren also naturally became the head of the Huang family, the city lord. ”

"How is the strength of this Huang family?"

Brother Niu thought for a moment and replied: "The strongest in this Huang family is this Huang Shiren, who is in the Yang God Realm, it seems that there are two elders in the Yin God Realm, and the others are not clear!"

Li Mubai bowed his head and asked again: "What does that have to do with the Huang family's desperate efforts to make money?"

"It's not this Huang Shiren," Brother Niu gritted his teeth, "This Huang Shiren is greedy for money and stingy, and he is an iron rooster who doesn't pull out a hair, so he not only raises taxes, but also often makes money for various reasons." ”

"So you suspect that these robbers are raised by the Huang family, just to make money?"

"That's right, otherwise they wouldn't have turned a blind eye, and they wouldn't have reacted even to the six doors. Brother Niu's chest rose and fell, and he was very angry.

"The Huang family can still influence the six gates?" Li Mubai was a little surprised, you must know that these six doors were set up by the imperial court to monitor the family.

Brother Niu sneered: "Of course the Huang family can't, but that Huang Shiren's master can!"

"Who is his master?"

"I don't know if you've ever heard of the "black hand" Yang Shijin?"

"Uh, no. Li Mubai was a little embarrassed, looking at Brother Niu's demeanor, this Yang Shi seems to be quite famous.

Brother Niu glanced at Li Mubai with some surprise, and said: "This Yang Shi is a master of the realm of heaven and man, and some towns around here are famous, because when fighting with people, his hands will become extremely black, so he is called "black hands". ”

"Even a master of the Heavenly and Human Realm can't make the people of the Six Doors afraid, right?" Li Mubai was puzzled.

"It's not because he can influence the Six Doors because of his cultivation, but because a deputy commander of the Six Doors of Mingyang City knows him, how can the people of the Six Doors offend the Huang family for the sake of us villagers?" Brother Niu was a little helpless and a little angry.

"Isn't there still a Qingyun Academy in Mingyang City, you can try to find them!"

"Alas, people don't care about these at all, and the Huang family won't provoke Qingyun Academy. ”

"So you found that gang of bandits yourself, what happened?" It stands to reason that if a fight breaks out, no matter which side wins, these two people shouldn't come to rob alone!

Brother Niu said: "That day, we rushed directly to their lair and fought with them, and there were casualties on both sides, so their leader proposed to hope for a peaceful settlement, after all, they wanted money, and this still needs us to provide." The few warriors we hired didn't want to fight hard, so they persuaded us to agree. Alas, there is no way, our strength is not enough, and we are naturally at a disadvantage. In the end, the condition was that each of our villages should give them a hundred taels of silver every six months. There are seventy or eighty families in our village, and one hundred taels in half a year is acceptable, but this time in the village not only killed people, but many people were injured, and there was not enough money to buy medicine. ”

"We met a scholar before, and not only did he not grab the money, but he gave him the bread we brought!" Ah Yong suddenly said again.

"What's the matter, why did you give him a flatbread?" Li Mubai looked at the two of them in surprise.

"We wanted to rob him, but the scholar fell down at the touch, which startled me, and then I learned that the man came to Mingyang City from far away to study, the money was stolen, and he had been hungry for a long time. Ah Yong said truthfully.

Brother Niu slapped him again: "My name is Xicai, what kind of soft-heartedness? I will be soft-hearted?"

Ah Yong retorted: "Didn't you say, 'Look at you for being pitiful, this big cake will be given to you.'" "What?"

"Ahh

Ah Yong hurriedly protected his head and said sullenly: "You always beat me, you beat me stupid!"

"I'm opening you up, you think you're smart?" Despite saying that, Brother Niu still withdrew his hand.

"You can go, you can do it yourself!" Li Mubai waved his hand.

The two glanced at each other, knelt down at the same time, and said in unison: "Please save us!"

Li Mubai was taken aback: "What kind of play are you playing? Hurry up!"

Brother Niu raised his head and looked at Li Mubai and said, "If the hero doesn't promise us, we won't get up!"

Li Mubai's face sank, and he said coldly: "Do you think I won't do anything to you?"

Brother Niu panicked suddenly: "No, it's just that I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child next month......"

Li Mubai interrupted impatiently: "Okay, you are only twenty-five or six at most, and your mother is more than eighty?

Cold sweat suddenly came out of Brother Niu's head, and Brother Niu smiled: "This is what I heard from other people's stories before, and I thought it was quite smooth, so I ...... it."

"You don't even tell the truth, and you still want me to help you? You can go, don't bother me!" Li Mubai turned around and walked towards the open space.

Ah Yong was anxious and hugged Li Mubai's legs directly.

"What do you want to do?" Li Mubai turned his head and looked at Ah Yong coldly.

"Please save our village! My father has been gone since I was a child, my mother pulled me alone, it all depends on those uncles and aunts in the village that I can grow so big, but they are now dead and injured, I want to help them avenge, but I can't do it, even if I try hard, I can't do it, as long as you can save our village, I can give you a cow and a horse, this rotten life is yours!" Ah Yong wept and hugged Li Mubai and didn't let go.

Looking at Ah Yong's appearance, Li Mubai's heart softened: "What is the strength of that gang of bandits?"

"You agreed?" Ah Yong cautiously raised his head and looked at Li Mubai.

Li Mubai nodded: "You still don't let go of me, don't wipe your snot or something on me." ”

Brother Niu's expression was a little weird, and he patted Ah Yong: "You don't hurry up!"

"Oh!" Ayong stood up and wiped his face with his sleeve.

"I made it clear in advance that if the bandits were too strong, I wouldn't go. ”

"Don't worry, if the bandits are so powerful, we won't be able to stand here. Only their leader is a martial artist of the innate realm, and you should also be a hero, right?" Brother Niu looked at Li Mubai with blank eyes.

"Yes, how many of them are there?"

Brother Niu replied: "Originally, there were more than forty people, but now there are only about twenty, the hero only needs to deal with the leader, and we can deal with the rest ourselves." ”
