Wutian is a monk.

He has no hair, he has no king's law, he is lawless.

There are thousands of monks all over the world, but there are not too many lawless monks like Wutian.

He drank wine, ate meat, killed people, set fires, robbed money, plundered sex, he did all kinds of evil, except for the six-point incense scar on his bare head, he did not look like a monk at all.

Wutian monk is the leader of the horse thief, the "Chaotianling" area is his lair, his subordinates gathered more than 200 rivers and lakes to die, often go to the villages and towns near the mountain to rob the house, the surrounding villagers and people are afraid of him like a tiger and hate him to the bone.

Cai Yaoyang, the commander of the "Beiliang" Soldiers and Horses, once led the Xiang soldiers and the catcher into the mountains several times together with the chief catcher Ao Jintie, but they were all escaped by a group of Wutian monks who were familiar with the terrain: the "Beggar Gang" Five Bags Elder Bitter Toad and the second largest disciple of the "Shaolin School" lay Ge Renxiong also joined forces to deal with Wutian, but they also found nothing and returned empty-handed.

The lawless monk is not only as cunning as a fox, but also as fierce as a wolf, and he has some hard work under his hands.

It is said that he came out of the "Shaolin School" and was a traitor who was expelled from the door wall by the "Shaolin" Zen Master Dabei of the temple; These speculations and suspicions from the outside world, the "Four Great Monks of Shaolin" were collectively silent and did not say a word.

To be precise, the Wutian monk is not a bandit in the strict sense. He calls himself "Chaotianmen" to the outside world, and he prefers to kidnap tickets for extortion than cutting the path and robbing the road, especially the wives and young ladies of the rich people, who are very dishonest in the lower half of the body.

Monk Wutian has always thought that he is a very smart person, and blocking the road is something that only a rough person, a stupid person, or a barbarian can do, and it is too unskilled.

Spring is coming, and it's a season of restlessness.

The restless monk Wutian did a lot of work in this restless season, and he kidnapped the favorite ninth concubine of the old lady Guan on the "Guanjia Town". He opened his mouth wide and extorted 200,000 taels of silver from the old lady Guan.

On the first day, the old lady Guan felt sorry for the silver, hesitated and did not respond, and received half of the concubine's bloody ear on the same day;

The next day, Mrs. Guan painfully collected 50,000 taels and sent her subordinates to send them away, but the subordinates only brought back the left hand of Aunt Jiu's red and white;

On the third day, Mrs. Guan secretly went to report to the official with a headache, and the concubine's flower-like head was thrown into the Guan family's compound that night;

On the fourth day, Mrs. Guan sat in the "Liangcheng Inn" drinking morning tea with a sad face all over her body, his eyes were misty, and from time to time he peeked at the two white flowers that were half exposed outside the collar of Hua Eighteen. The old lady is old-hearted, otherwise there would be no wives and concubines.

-- Monk Wutian has already let out the wind, threatening to wash the "Guanjia Town" in blood within a month, the old lady Guan does not want to sit still, he still has eight wives and concubines and more than 20 children, he still has thousands of acres of fertile land and ten thousand Hu, anyone who has these, will not be willing to die.

"300 catties of dried beef, 500 catties of yellow corn, 500 catties of white corn, 200 catties of dried vegetables, 30 yellow sheep, 50 jars of rice wine, and 200 cars of silver. Mrs. Guan, is this price very expensive? Then you can find a few cheaper ones. Then, there are a few at the base of the wall, and if you give him a few taels of silver, he will be very happy. Do you have confidence in those knife men who are so hungry that they can't even hold their knives?In case they miss, let the Monk Wutian know that you instructed them, what do you think will happen to those horse thieves?" Hua Eighteen held his proud chest high and enlightened;

"I don't dare to say that the strength of our 'Liangcheng' is stronger than all of them, but what I am telling you now is the safety of your family of more than sixty people. Spring is coming, and I'm afraid that the horse thief won't have much time for Old Lady Guan to think about it. ”

Old lady Guan swallowed her saliva, put down her snuffbox with her shriveled and sallow hand, and trembled and picked up the paper and pen on the table in front of her.

Looking at the fat back of the old lady Guan, a big household in the town who was distressed and left, and the contract signed by him, Leng Beicheng felt more and more that Hua Eighteen, the killer middleman, had the potential to be a businessman.

According to the rule of "one out of ten" in the tooth shop, even if the intermediary money and grain of Liangcheng are left, 450 catties of yellow corn and white corn each, 280 catties of dried vegetables, 27 yellow sheep, 25 jars of rice wine, and 180 taels of silver, these are all huge wealth.

-- Especially for those who need it.

Under the heavy reward there will be brave men and brave women.

The cook Tang Zhaocai walked around under the "killer wall" and brought back nine people, all kinds of people.

-- Li Yuanwai, who wrote letters, Lin Mianhua, who secretly picked up customers, Bai Daliang, who killed pigs and sold meat, Cai Jiujin, who farmed and sold vegetables, Ye Laixiang, who poured night incense, Bu Blind, Liu Sangen, who played shifts, and Colorful Dramatists, they were all willing to take a risk for this considerable commission.

Monk Wutian is not an easy person to deal with, and he still has many minions.

None of the nine people had the confidence to complete this task independently, but none of them were willing to withdraw from the temptation of the huge wealth in front of them. In the end, Li Yuanwai, who was more clever than his brain, proposed that nine people take over the operation task together, and the other eight people happily agreed.

-- It's better to earn less than to spend your life.

Life and death are fateful, and no one knows when the horse thief will arrive.

-- Recently, it has been recited in the streets and alleys of "Liangcheng" that the adopted daughter of the Xi family, a big family in the city, is going to leave the cabinet.

Several generations of the Xi family have been famous and martyrs, and Xi Qinggu's generation has become a waiter in the Ministry of Rites in the DPRK, and later because he studied under Wang Anshi, he was involved in the "party dispute", after Sima Guang gained power, the officials of the "New Party" faction were either demoted or exiled, and Xi Qinggu was in that political tide, from the three products of the big man straight down to the "Saibei", and made the "Beiliang County" county order.

Although Xi Qinggu is a scholar, he is not old-fashioned.

After the failure of Wang Anshi's reform, Xi Qinggu did not hesitate to devote himself to the upstart Cai Jingmen of the imperial court, cheering and running for Cai Xiang in the northern part of the Saibei area, and in the past few years, he has gradually emerged among the guests of the Xiangfu protégé, and has occupied a place in the "seventy-two protégés" of Caimen, and there are signs of a comeback.

Recently, there has been frequent news from the Beijing Division, saying that Master Xi is likely to be transferred to Bianjing today to serve as the official of the "Ministry of Rites". Although he is only a six-rank Cao official, after all, he is a dignified official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is finally in vain that the painstaking drilling camp over the years has not been in vain, and he is expected to be promoted.

Recently, Mr. Xi is double happy, and he wants to be promoted, and he wants to marry a daughter, and he walks in the market on weekdays, and when he meets the congratulatory neighbors, he always greets him with a smile from afar, and there is no official frame at all.

Miss Xi's family affair is said to be the matchmaker personally appointed by Cai Xiang, which is a big face, which makes Master Xi somewhat complacent among his colleagues.

The young lady's family is the "Nangong family" that leads the "Jiangnan" martial arts, and the four major martial arts families rank second, with great wealth and power, and they are an important object that Cai Jing, the minister of power, wants to win over.

-- And the second son of Miss Xi and the "Nangong Family" has undoubtedly become the pawns of this marriage of interests.

Cai Jing wants to control the "Jiangnan" martial arts, and Nangong Wuji, the old man of the "Nangong family", wants to get involved in the officialdom of the Beijing Division, and the two sides take what they take, and they hit it off.

Many people in the rivers and lakes think that there is only one young master of the "Nangong family", but in fact Nangong Wuji has two sons under his knees; the reason for this misunderstanding is that these two Nangong sons, one is too famous, and the fame is chasing Nangong Wuji; and the other is too ordinary, so that many people ignore and even forget his existence.

The eldest son, Nangong Huashu, when he was fifteen years old, on his father's fortieth birthday, broke the branch and replaced the sword with three moves to defeat the famous Qing Lingzi of the "Qinghai faction" who came to Nangong Wuji to challenge, and became famous in one fell swoop.

Nangong Huashu has a great reputation, and part of the reason that cannot be ignored is that when he was twenty-two years old, he married Murong Yiyi, the eldest daughter of Murong Extraordinary, the head of the "Gusu" Murong family.

As the eldest son and son-in-law of the two great families, Nangong Huashu can already win everyone's respect and applause even if he doesn't have to do anything.

No matter where Nangong Huashu goes, there will be people who hug him, climb and worship, because he is Nangong Huashu.

Nangong Huashu, who ranked fourth among the top ten young masters of martial arts.

It is because Nangong Huashu is so famous and glorious that few people have noticed the other heir of the Nangong family, the second son, Nangong Yushu.

Just like the bedside candle under the cover of the radiant sun, Nangong Yushu is unknown.

――If it weren't for this family business, I'm afraid many people would not know the name "Nangong Yushu".

However, even if a person is nameless, ignorant, and incompetent, as long as he gives birth to a good family, his life will be rewritten.

Nangong Yushu's surname is "Nangong", so no one dares to despise him! Even if he is not afraid, he will be afraid of the huge family power represented by his surname!

Xi Qinggu is a local leader who cannot be questioned, and the Xi family is a family of scholars, courtesy, and righteousness, with filial piety and filial piety, and a solemn demeanor, and the city is praised; the adopted daughter of the Xi family is named Xiaoying, who is 14 years old, and the two family affairs are also regarded as mutual pairs.

"I heard that the young lady of the Xi family has a strange disease and won't live long, isn't it hurting the 'Nangong' family to marry like this......" The colorful opera master in a colorful costume chewed a handful of peanuts in his mouth and said vaguely.

Lin Mianhua, a secret prostitute sitting on the opposite side, glanced at the color actor and said: "Whether it's a lover's knot or a lover's robbery, which one dares to oppose the marriage designated by Cai Xiang? Besides, the second ancestor of the 'Nangong' family was born a blind man......" Halfway through the words, he subconsciously glanced at the blind fortune teller and stopped talking.

The blind man rolled his eyes and scolded: "What are you doing with Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu is not really blind!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh "haha", and in the chaotic fighting, Leng Beicheng clearly heard an inaudible low laugh, which sounded from the side!

The low laugh is three points of self-deprecation, three points of inferiority, three points of self-pity, and one point of indifference.

Following the sound and looking over, Leng Beicheng saw a person.

A blind young man.

-- A young man who would not be conspicuous anywhere, his skin was very white, unhealthily white, the kind of pale that does not see the sun all day long.

His facial features are quite handsome, except for his eyes.

His eyes were dull, he had a blind cane at his hand, and behind him were a dozen servants in fancy clothes with snuff bottles, sweat towels, spittoons, and bird cages.

These servants have bulging bellies and chests, and they are more imposing and imposing than their masters.

Leng Beicheng's gaze fell on the young man's palm-

Between the young man's pale five fingers, he was playing with a hollow and delicate butterfly hairpin.

The dust lingers on the face of the wanderer, the butterflies make the beauty hairpin, and the beauty makes people cry.

Two names flashed in Leng Beicheng's mind at the same time: Tang Yun and Shi Yulou.

There are no more than seven young masters with eye diseases in the martial arts, the most famous are Tang Yun, the second son of the "Qizong" of the "Tang Sect of Shu", and the "ruthless son" Shi Yulou on Ganliang Road.

However, Leng Beicheng quickly remembered the name of the third person-

Nangong Yushu!
