Chapter 9 Clean
Author: Mobei Shasha Knife
After Peng Yunfei finished packing, he showed the results in the bag to Xu Zhengping.
All people together had about three hundred taels of silver.
Peng Yunfei spat, "That son of a bitch from the Changfeng Escort Bureau has so much money. He paid the one hundred taels as early as this afternoon, and so many people's lives were spared."
Xu Zhengping disagreed. People died for money and birds died for food. This principle remains unchanged through the ages.
He put away his robes and asked Peng Yunfei to lead the way to his bandit camp.
In the battle this afternoon, the woman in white from Bibo Villa took action, killing Panyun Village to pieces and killing many of its backbones.
The competition on the nearby green forest road is also fierce. Peng Yunfei persuaded Xu Zhengping to be their leader, partly to save his life, but partly because of his sincerity.
If there is no strong person in charge, their Panyun Village will be annexed by other green forests sooner or later, and then he, the leader of the village, will not be able to surrender casually like others.
The so-called general manager of the green forest road is nonsense. There are so many green forests in the south of the Yangtze River that no one is convinced. How can there be a general manager?
Traveling at night was inconvenient, so the two of them walked almost all night before finally arriving at Panyun Village.
At this time, there were only thirty or forty people, including cats and dogs, in the village. Today's battle resulted in heavy casualties, and many people did not come back alive.
After entering the village, Peng Yunfei did not dare to tell the story of Xu Zhengping's murder in front of all his brothers. He only said that he was saved by him and would be the boss of Panyun Village from now on.
The leader of the village took the initiative to give up his position, and naturally the other bandits did not dare to have any objections.
Under the leadership of Peng Yunfei, Xu Zhengping got to know everyone in the village, and he also wrote down the total number of people.
Then he asked Peng Yunfei to take him to see where the gold and silver were stored. After seeing the boxes of treasures in the warehouse, Xu Zhengping was almost dazzled by the jewels.
He was very satisfied. In the evening, he ordered everyone to gather together and have a banquet to celebrate.
Peng Yunfei thought that Xu Zhengping had taken office as a new official, but he didn't expect that he would not burn three fires and deal with his cronies. Instead, he wanted to show favor first and did not dare to refuse.
So he gathered everyone together, slaughtered pigs and sheep, set up several tables, and sat together in the hall of the bandit village.
Xu Zhengping sat in a separate position at the top and glanced at the people below. None of the bandits knew Xu Zhengping, so they were a little reserved.
Xu Zhengping raised his glass and said: "From now on, you will hang out with me, drink from a big bowl, eat meat with big mouthfuls, and have as many women as you want! Together we will make Panyun Village bigger and stronger, and let the surrounding green forest roads surrender to us."
!”
In order to avoid being left in the cold, Peng Yunfei was the first to stand up and support him. He raised his glass and asked everyone to cheer and swear to follow the new leader to the death!
After changing glasses, after three drinks, everyone came to toast Xu Zhengping, and Xu Zhengping looked at them with a smile.
Everyone felt that today's wine was particularly intoxicating. After a few rounds, many people who had very good drinkers began to lie on the table.
On the other hand, some people with good martial arts skills can persist a little longer, such as Peng Yunfei.
Peng Yunfei's face turned red, and he stood up with the wine glass in hand. He was still somewhat awake and looked around. His rich experience in the world allowed him to discover the situation.
He threw down the wine glass, pointed at Xu Zhengping, and asked with twitching face: "Master! You...you...why do you want to harm me!"
The few bandits who were still holding on looked surprised and asked, "Why did the second master say that?"
"Idiot! The wine was drugged!"
Everyone understood immediately, but it was already too late. After Xu Zhengping made sure that everyone in the village had arrived, he closed the door of the lobby at the beginning of the banquet.
Most people are now unconscious, only four or five can barely stand up, but they can no longer play any role.
Xu Zhengping looked at Peng Yunfei from above and said calmly: "I never planned to let you live from the beginning."
Peng Yunfei said: "Then why didn't you kill me then? Did you listen to my words and become the leader of my Panyun Village?"
Xu Zhengping put down his wine glass and said nonchalantly: "Because you told me that your Panyun Village is rich."
Peng Yunfei sat down on the chair, slumped and weak, and smiled bitterly, "It turns out that he killed himself for money. This is what we in the green forest often do. Hey, I didn't expect that I wouldn't understand until I was about to die.
But you! Your martial arts skills are obviously so high, why do you still use such despicable methods as Mongolian sweat medicine?!"
"Because of safety, I cannot let anyone walk out of Panyun Village alive. If I use my martial arts to massacre, although it is not difficult, it may not be able to ensure that no one of you will escape."
Xu Zhengping walked down slowly, ready to finish.
Peng Yunfei saw him walking in front of him, his face as cold as death, but at this time he didn't have any fear at all.
He suddenly remembered Xu Zhengping's series of actions after he killed people last night, and then piously asked the Buddha for forgiveness.
I couldn't help but ask: "Do you really believe in Buddhism?"
Xu Zhengping was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded seriously.
"I grew up in a temple, and it has become my instinct to believe in Buddha. I am the most devout believer of Buddha."
Peng Yunfei couldn't help but sneered: "Just you? Do you think the Buddha will forgive you for doing so many evil things? Do you think you will be able to achieve bliss after death? Are you not afraid of falling into the eighteenth level of hell and never be reborn?"
"
Xu Zhengping asked rhetorically: "Do you think Buddha exists?"
"I don't know if existence exists. I'm a murderous bandit and I don't believe in Buddhism at all!
But you believe it! That’s why I ask you this! Are you really not afraid of retribution?”
Xu Zhengping explained patiently: "I don't know whether Buddha really exists, but my master taught me not to ask whether Buddha exists.
Because what we worship is not the Buddha himself, but the Buddha in our own hearts, that is, our own Buddha nature.
Buddha and demon are one and the same, whether they kill people or save people, there is no conflict or contradiction, it purely depends on whether it comes from the choice of the original heart.
Killing you and them is Xu’s decision from his heart. If the Buddha in Xu’s heart doesn’t think there is anything wrong, then it is right.”
Peng Yunfei was dumbfounded and said: "So you really believe in Buddhism..."
Xu Zhengping used the same method as last night to kill every bandit in the lobby.
The medicine he gave them in their wine was a slow-acting Mongolian sweat medicine, so it was not noticed for a long time. Once the medicine took effect, there was no way back.
Looking at the corpses in the hall, Xu Zhengping clapped his hands indifferently. We don't worship Buddha here, so there is no need for salvation.
After collecting the gold and silver from each person, he took out the gold and silver from the warehouse, found two coffins from the bandit's stronghold, and poured all the gold and silver in the bandit's stronghold into the coffins.
This is a total of more than fourteen thousand taels, which can be said to be quite fat! He has never had so much money in his two lifetimes!
In addition, Xu Zhengping also found several deeded properties in Peng Yunfei's private house. They were real estates that he secretly purchased, probably for the purpose of washing his hands in the future.
However, these are all cheap for Xu Zhengping, and Xu Zhengping will consider selling them all for free money.
After getting a huge sum of money, Xu Zhengping drove a carriage and placed all the gold, silver and jewelry in the two coffins.
So he drove the carriage out. There was no one alive in the bandit's stronghold, so naturally he had no clues about him.
At this point, his affairs can be considered clean and will no longer be traced by anyone.
