On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Lingzhou City.

In a slightly dilapidated tavern in Xicheng, several men were drinking turbid wine while muttering:

"Brother Han, we brothers haven't made any investments for two months, and our family is almost out of business. If we can't find a good deal, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it this year."

"What do you guys know? I'm going to let you be more at ease recently. Recently, because the soldiers and horses in the city have been drawn, the prefect's office is very close. If there is a lot of news, everyone will not be able to take care of them! You all know that we can't deal with the big thieves who kill and set fire, but eating us little people is particularly fierce. Are you planning to go to the black prison for a fat New Year?"

"Brother Han, even though that is the case, we brothers can't be so hungry, right? If this continues, everyone's enthusiasm will be dissipated. How can our Qingyi Gang gain a foothold in Lingzhou in the future?"

Brother Han's second brother glanced over the four or five brothers in front of him, and he could see that these people were indeed determined, so he could only sigh and said, "You guys are too impatient. To be honest, I have already found a target, but I just plan to wait until they get outside the city to ask everyone to do it. Now, since that's the case, let's take a try!"

After hearing what he said, the other people suddenly felt excited: "I knew that second brother, you were prepared, let me tell you."

"Look at that side." Han Erge hurried to the shop that I had faced with the hotel: "The shop is the fat sheep I have sought, and it is a group of geese customers who came from other places. Although they have no background, they have sold dozens of high-quality ginseng in our Lingzhou before, and they are afraid that they will have hundreds of stagnant money."

"So much?" The other people suddenly had their eyes shining and stared at the somewhat broken foot shop with extreme greed: "With so much money on them, they only live in this small shop?"

"You think these business people are like you. When you have money, you want to spend it clean. They are so low-key that they almost never came out except to go to several pharmacies in the city to sell ginseng. If I hadn't been well-informed and sent someone to keep an eye on them for a few days, I really didn't know that these guys had a lot of money." Han Erbian laughed and then got to the point: "As long as we slaughter these fat sheep, we can live a good life for one or two years. I originally planned to wait for them to leave Lingzhou before taking action, but I didn't expect that they would stay until today. I don't know if they planned to stay until the New Year."

"They can wait, but we brothers can't wait. Since they refuse to leave, let's send them away and send them away completely!" The man said, and the others sneered a few times, looking quite excited.

Brother Han nodded: "But this time you must behave neatly and it is best not to leave any troubles. Also, you will do it at night. I have seen the foot shop before. The walls are very low and no one can watch the night. If the night passes, things will definitely be accomplished."

"Okay, we all listen to you, Second Brother. We will definitely do things beautifully and cleanly. Even if the Captain Hu from the government office comes, he will not find any clues. Besides, I would like to thank the owner of the shop to report to the official position. "These are all veterans who commit crimes, and they immediately started to plan their actions tonight.

The second brother Han didn't say much to them. After giving them a few more instructions, he left first. When he left, he deliberately passed by the broken foot shop. He saw two of the visitors carrying a slim strode out. Looking at the two fat sheep who were slightly thin and only reaching his shoulders, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he strode away.

The two visitors were not targeted. After quickly walking out of the store, they lowered their voices and said in a language that was very different from Chinese: "How are you preparing for? I'm worried that someone will find something strange there."

"It's almost done. The batch of grain yesterday has already entered the city. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it's time to start. What we have to do today is to buy enough food for everyone to fill their stomachs, so that everyone can keep their energy in order to do a big thing!"

"That's good. To be honest, we have good food and drink in the city these days, but those tribesmen have to be hungry outside. I feel a little ashamed."

"There is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone is for the entire Jurchen tribe. As long as we succeed in this vote, we can survive this winter. By the beginning of next spring, the Liao Kingdom will no longer be a problem. The world will be shocked by the rise of our Jurchen!" The man said, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and he was so scared that a commoner who happened to pass by them changed his face and hurriedly asked him to go aside.

"Wei Deli, please calm down and stop showing off your strength." Seeing this, the companion quickly reminded him. The man quickly put away his anger and turned into an ordinary man who looked a little honest and honest. However, their change failed to escape the eyes of another ordinary-looking thin man not far away, which made him feel moved: "These guys seem to have made some decisions, but they have to report to Commander Shi quickly."

This is the elite Qingzhou Army scout camp who is responsible for following these suspicious people who appeared in Lingzhou under the name of a visitor. What he is best at is tracking and looking at people's faces. With his ability, and with these Jurchens, they don't have much experience in the world at all, or they never thought that they would reveal flaws, so they never realized that their actions were all under the control of others.

The two Jurchens had adjusted their mentality at this time and soon arrived at the largest grain shop in Lingzhou. Then one of them bought two thousand kilograms of rice, flour and grain with a slight mandarin dialect, which shocked the shopkeeper of the entire grain shop: "What do you two buy so much grain? Are you the two of them at which hotel?"

"No, we are from Bianjia Village outside the city. The fire broke out in the village and burned the big guy's food, so our village gathered all the money together and asked us to come to the village to buy grain for the winter." The guy named Wei Deli opened his mouth and gave a reason, and then put the skin on the counter, revealing the golden copper coins inside.

Seeing that the other party could come up with a reason and it was delivered in cash, the shopkeeper finally stopped talking and asked the client to go to the warehouse behind to prepare the corresponding food for them.

Two thousand kilograms of grain are not a small amount. They loaded seven or eight large trucks to be enough. Then the two led the way, and more than a dozen men pushed the cart out of the city and headed to Bianjia Village, located in the southern suburbs.

No one noticed that during this process, there were always eyes watching them. After following them out of the city, the stalkers did not follow as closely as before, but were far behind them.

After walking straight for more than an hour, the grain trucks arrived at their destination in the evening, in a small and inconspicuous village. The grain transporters entered the village without any strangeness, but the scouts following behind were moved when they came to the vicinity of the village: "No, this village has some problems. Why don't they hear a dog barking? There are not many people inside..." Some details are not noticed at all. Only those who are careful and experienced scouts can see the problem from ordinary things.

After seeing this, his heart suddenly jumped violently, and a bold guess flashed out of his mind: "Is this the place where the thieves stayed and hid? They were so brave that they were actually hiding in a small village just a few miles away from Lingzhou Prefecture City! In this way, I'm afraid that the people in this village are already... not good!" Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea. Once the food shop staff went in, they would probably send sheep into the tiger's mouth and would never be able to get out again!

Just as he turned his mind, a few short screams suddenly sounded in the village, just like someone was stabbed into a knife and was pinched to his throat as soon as he screamed. It sounded really made people's scalp numb.

This changed his face again, and he quickly gave up the idea of ​​going in and finding out.

As a scout, he knew very well that his duty was to pass the news back alive, rather than take risks to find out further truths. At the moment, he no longer stayed and turned around and left quickly.

It was also a blessing that he walked fast enough, but after a meal, Wei Deli and the others left the village again, and then rushed to the road, returning to Lingzhou City before the city gate was closed.

At this time, it was dark and the people in the city had returned home. This city, which was not very lively, fell into silence after the night fell.

For many years, the nights in Lingzhou City have always been so calm. Ordinary people will rest early after eating. There are only a few brothels like gold-selling caves and there will be sounds of silk and bamboo at this time, but this obviously has nothing to do with the people.

But tonight, everything is very different.

After the second update, taking advantage of the night to protect him, more than a dozen men dressed in black and holding weapons had quietly appeared near the inconspicuous little foot shop in Xicheng. Everyone's eyes were filled with greed and murderous intent.

"Are you ready? As long as we complete this deal today, we won't have to worry about money for at least two or three years." The man in charge asked in a voice.

"Of course!" Everyone nodded excitedly, then took out their facial towels to cover their own faces.

"Then let's fight quickly. Remember to be neat and don't give the visitors any chance to call for help!" After a last reminder, the man in the lead waved his hand and more than ten men rushed to the foot shop in front!
Chapter completed!
