Chapter Twenty-Nine: Officials and Thieves

The three kingdoms of the Xia and Shang dynasties were established for tens of thousands of years, and the great Shang established the country by force, divided the small princes of thousands of miles into fifty people, and the four uncles of the southeast, northwest, and northwest were managed on behalf of them, and a complete ruling system was established in the land of the real emperor of the Son of Heaven. For 10,000 years, the people of the Great Shang have been striving for self-improvement, and after conquering the three major foreign tribes of Yi, Rong and Di for thousands of years, the territory is not limited to the land of three states!

The southern monarch of the country, Yan Hu, led his people to vote because he admired the Great Shang, and was successfully divided into small princes, but was sent to the intersection of the Great Shang and the Great Zhou, and the building was the king.

Hu Hu's nature is Di, although he is high-crowned, he still can't hide his Di nature, greedy and cunning, and tyrannical.

In just 30 years, the country of Ao was full of thieves, and tens of thousands of people gathered in Ye to form a violent organization that lived by looting and disrespected the royal court.

The thieves started with looting, and at first they were mostly joined by some ordinary people who couldn't survive, and then gradually there were some wandering warriors who were lazy and didn't do anything to produce, and the rangers joined in, which greatly strengthened the power of the thieves.

At first, the thieves only robbed some small villages and towns, so they didn't attract the attention of the thief, and later when he discovered the threat of the thief, the thief's power had grown enough to threaten the country of the bird.

This teasing king did not think about how to eradicate the cancer in the country, but instead sent a letter of alliance to make friends with the thieves, make an alliance, and rule the country together.

The official thieves and the people were miserable, and they fled from the country one after another.

He set up eight checkpoints in the country, and all the people who fled were reduced to slaves.

In just a few months, there is no longer the phenomenon of Chinese people fleeing one after another. But the people of the Eagle Country have a deep hatred for the Bird's Nest.

The farmer's grain and grass will be taken by the official in half. The thief came again and snatched half of the half. I worked hard to grow food for a year. There was only enough food for a family of three to drink porridge for a year, and occasionally he would think about building a palace or something, but the officials took the opportunity to collect taxes, so that the people couldn't even drink the porridge.

You can't escape, you can't live, and on the land of the Eagle Country, there are many wild places where the bones of people who have died of hunger lie down.

'Youpeng Inn' is an inn for entertainers, rangers. The price is cheap and the service is also considerate. Although officials and thieves often come to collect taxes and protection fees, they are not so bad at business.

The reason for this is that the official family fell in love with their restaurant, the prince of the king of the eagle. The person who managed this place, Ao Jiang, secretly issued an order that all the guests who stayed at this inn were his enemies, and as for what kind of retribution he would receive, I am afraid that it was needless to say.

The Jianghu rangers did not dare to offend the official, so although the price of the 'Youpeng Inn' was once reduced, they still passed through the door and did not enter. The thieves were not affected, and they continued to visit on a monthly basis. Collect a protection fee.

In just three months, Youpeng Inn was on the verge of bankruptcy. The cooks in the back kitchen of the original shop Xiaoer have all gone. Only the old shopkeeper of the inn and the shopkeeper were left.

Just when the shopkeeper, who had not spoken to outsiders for a long time, chatted endlessly with Haozhuang, the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open.

Seven or eight strong men with swords in their hands walked in, their movements were very loud, and they woke up the old shopkeeper who was dozing off on the counter in an instant, and the shopkeeper also reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve: "How many masters are fighting or staying in the hotel?"

The strong man pressed the sword in his hand on the table with a 'snap', and said, "When did the grandfathers stay in your shabby shop, hit the sharp, hit the sharp." Bring the best food in the store to the grandfathers. ”

These people looked very bold, but the shopkeeper was full of bitterness. Respectfully wiped a table, then invited the big men to sit down, then confessed, and then went to the kitchen without looking back.

The shopkeeper of the counter seemed to be very afraid of these strong men, hurriedly got down from the counter, and then came to the table of the strong men with a jar of wine, and took out a snow-white towel from nowhere to wipe the bowl on the table transparently, and then put it in front of everyone, and shouted in fear: "A few masters, drink some wine first to relieve fatigue." Meals will arrive later. ”

But he didn't want to spill some wine on the table because he was afraid when he was pouring wine. Frightened, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly apologized.

The big man pushed the old shopkeeper to the ground with his palm, and shouted: "Useless waste, get out of the way of grandpa." ”

The shopkeeper, who had fallen on the ground, stood up tremblingly, and walked towards the counter.

Haozhuang had witnessed the actions of several big men from beginning to end, but he looked at them with a frown, and secretly speculated about their identities.

But he didn't want one of the strong men to slap on the table, and shouted at Haozhuang: "Boy, look at something, and if you look at it again, you will gouge out your eyeballs." ”

Haozhuang's eyebrows were raised, and when he was about to get up to do something, he found that the old man's figure trembled, and his face became as ugly as if the end of the world was coming.

Haozhuang's heart moved, and finally put down the hilt of the sword that he was secretly clenching, stopped looking at those big men, and went straight to eat the food.

"Useless rubbish, hahaha. One of them laughed and mocked Haozhuang.

"Since you are looking for death, then wait until you get out of the inn and take your life. "When the man is angry, he kills, and Haozhuang's heart has quietly changed at some point, and he is about to ascend in his previous life, but he was persecuted by the enemy and died.

In this life, he naturally wants to learn a lesson, either he will not make enemies, or if he makes enemies, he will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

He secretly made up his mind in his heart to punish the traitor and eliminate the evil, and he was not angry when he saw the group of strong men mocking him unscrupulously. 'How can a dying man be worthy of my wrath?'

His chopsticks unconsciously slowed down a little more, and after tasting the wine with the silver needle, he began to taste the wine in the store with a small sip. I couldn't help but praise myself in my heart.

A group of strong men went back and forth to fight with each other, and after a while, the shopkeeper served a large table of dishes. It was respectfully placed on the wine table of the strong men, and said, "A few masters, please use it slowly." ”

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but he didn't want the big man to grab the little second boy of the shop with a lewd smile on his face, and said: "You little second looks very handsome, come, drink some wine with grandpa." ”

The shopkeeper immediately looked frightened, struggled with his arms, and said, "Thank you for your love, the little ones don't drink." ”

The shopkeeper's face also showed a hint of panic, and he walked over from the counter with a nervous face.

Haozhuang frowned, and quietly grasped the hilt of the sword.

The big man who grabbed the arm of the shopkeeper reached out and pulled the shopkeeper into his arms, and said, "Where did you get so much nonsense, give it to grandpa." As he spoke, he held the bowl to his lips.

The old shopkeeper shouted: "A few masters can't do it, they can't do it." When he stepped forward to stop him, he was yelled at by one of the big men: "Get out of grandpa." ”

The old shopkeeper was immediately frightened and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing the crazy laughter of the big men, Haozhuang could still endure it, and immediately slapped it on the table, attracting everyone's attention, and shouted: "Stop it." ”

As soon as the words fell, the big men who had just been disturbed by him slapping the table showed an interesting look on their faces, and the strong man who grabbed the arm of the shopkeeper pushed him to the ground. Ignoring him, he pulled the old shopkeeper and ran in the direction of Haozhuang.

With a faint smile on his face, he said: "Yo he, it's a handsome little Langjun again, grandpa, I'm not shallow today!"

Haozhuang smiled coldly and said, "I'm afraid that it is, there is a knife on the head of the color word, and today you are afraid of a bloody disaster." ”

The big man laughed, and shook the table next to him upside down, making a mess of the inn hall.

With a rampant smile on his face, he said, "Grandpa, I have been crisscrossing Pi County for several years, and it is the first time that anyone dares to say that grandpa has a bloody disaster, boy, you have a kind." ”

After speaking, he made a look with many strong men on the side, and with a knife in his hand, he strode towards Haozhuang.

"Be careful, guest officer. The shopkeeper and the old man let out an exclamation in unison.

A silver-white knife light slashed towards the top of Hao Zhuang's head, Hao Zhuang's face still had a sneer, just when the strong man thought Hao Zhuang was scared stupid, a sword light came first in front of his eyes.

He only felt a pain in his eyebrows, the knife in his hand froze in place, and his whole body became weak, and he fell to the ground in an instant.

The big man was taken by Haozhuang between the lightning and flint, and when the strong men around him couldn't react, there was one less member.

They were immediately furious, waving the blades in their hands towards Haozhuang and the others, and waving their weapons to Haozhuang's head with their heads covered.

As soon as the cold light in Haozhuang's eyes was revealed, the sword in his hand was unsheathed again, and a semicircular arc of light crossed, and many fierce strong men stiffened, and all of them fell to the ground with a weak body.

It was a long time before a trace of blood spilled out of their throats.

The man guarding the gate trembled with fright, and hurriedly opened the gate and was about to leave, but he was greeted by a group of officials wearing samurai uniforms and wearing slices, holding bright blades.

The man hit his head on the body of the leader, first stunned, and then his face was ecstatic, and said: "I am the thief's thief, this kid killed our thief's brother, you came just in time, hurry, quickly arrest them" (to be continued.) )
