Chapter 964 The Noisy Horse Thief
Thanks: "Ziwei Knight" for the Piaohong reward!
Zhixing Academy was burned, and it was burned by Confucian scholars. The news spread throughout Peking City within an hour, which surprised the people who were eating melons.
"They're crazy?"
An old man was chatting at the door with his grandson in his arms. After hearing the Confucian scholar setting fire, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "That's the academy of the crown prince Hexing and Bo. How brave does it take to light the fire in front of them!"
The old man from the neighbor's house scratched his scalp and said, "Isn't there any saying that criticizes dragon scales in the past? I think these scholars probably want to do this, but the current emperors of the former Song Dynasty are not those emperors. If you want to criticize dragon scales? That's just looking for death."
"Yes! What's that called... Oh, it's Wei Zheng. Those scholars boasted about Wei Zheng's existence in the sky and nothing on the earth, but were they smashed into the tombstone? Fake! They are all fake!"
"Ahhhh!"
At this time, the old man's grandson started to scream. He touched his butt and said hurriedly: "The child is peeing, go home first."
"Then Wei Zheng! Alas!"
The old man from the neighbor shook his head. When he entered the house, he saw two chickens fighting. He couldn't help but shout, "Who saw the chicken? Who was hurt? Who laid eggs?"
In the days of the people, whether it was setting fire to the academy or claiming to be with Li Shimin's monarch and minister, Wei Zheng, who had been remembered forever, was not as good as a laying hen at home, nor was he as good as a grandson who had peed his pants.
Fang Xing knew this truth well, but the horse thieves naturally didn't understand it.
Just in a mountain south of Peking City, a group of men were cooking in a valley.
The firewood in the mountains in early spring was wet and finally ignited, but the men were choked and scolded.
A bearded man sat in the upper wind and looked at the group of people quietly. They were dressed in rags and looked like they were fleeing houses.
But the long swords around their waists and the unconcealed tough aura on their dirty faces have nothing to do with the escaped households.
The food was very simple, just make porridge with rice and jerky, and more than 20 people were scolding.
"Brother Fang, I drink porridge every day, brothers can't stand it anymore!"
"That's right, at least some dry vegetables are there! Those people are so stingy!"
"We are not allowed to hunt or go out of the mountain. Do we want us to be savages?"
Fang Dahai, the bearded man, said coldly: "What's the hurry! That's a fat sheep!"
"Now, garrisons in various places are rectifying. After the rectification is completed, the first thing is to encircle us."
Seeing that his subordinates looked relaxed, they obviously disdained the combat power of the officers and soldiers. Fang Dahai did not scold him and continued, "Wang Xing's family has countless wealth, do you know that glass?"
A tall and thin man said, "Brother Fang, I know, that's something equivalent to money, it's so expensive."
"Chen Xiaonu, you're just a few nonsense a day. I heard that there is no glass in the palace. How could the Fang family have it? Isn't he afraid of beheading his head?"
A black-faced man said with a smile.
"You think I'm lying?"
Fang Dahai asked staring at the black-faced man, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"No! No, Brother Fang, how dare you, I will listen to you."
"Shut up!"
Fang Dahai shouted sharply, after shocking the bandits, he stood up and said, "There is still the No. 1 fresh and the Sihai Market in Fang Xing. The money we enter and exit every day can stop after we finish this transaction. As long as we have money in our hands, we can't buy anything?!"
"Who doesn't want to go, stand up."
Fang Dahai asked, but no one responded. He said with satisfaction: "We are grabbing food at the tiger's mouth this time. Once we run slowly, there are wards around the capital, so we are just turtles in the jar!"
The Chen Xiaonu suddenly drew his sword and shouted, "Did you hear that? Brother Fang has taken the matter into consideration. If you make trouble, everyone will break up!"
Induce wealth and goods, threaten by officers and soldiers!
"If this deal is not done, those people will not help us explore the way. Let's be savages in this mountain!"
This was the last nail to the coffin board, and the morale of the bandits was rising.
"Get up! Brother Fang, we all listen to you, grab it and run away!"
"As long as we have money, even if those people regret it, we can slowly touch it from the mountains!"
“…”
Fang Dahai smiled and said, "Okay, since everyone is full of energy, then hurry up and have a meal!"
"The rice is messy!"
"Smoke the fire!"
Amidst a turmoil, a man asked, "Brother Fang, when will we do it?"
Fang Dahai said with his hands behind his back: "There has been a signal over there, we..."
...
Yue Baoguo felt that he was in trouble and actually believed that a prince could take care of others.
Zhu Zhanyong was thrusting the corpse on the bed, rubbing his stomach and talking.
"What do you think of those people? They all think that there are gods, and they are so devoutly devout to go to temples and Taoist temples..."
Zhu Zhanyong was talking nonstop, while Yue Baoguo was reading a book with a wooden face beside him.
When Zhu Zhanyong said the mouth was dry and his tongue was habitually instructed: "Pour me a glass of water." Then he remembered his mission.
Yue Baoguo had already leaned his head up and fell asleep on the chair. Looking at the frowning of his eyebrows, he was mostly suffering from hand pain.
"sleep!"
The boring Zhu Zhanyong also slept. He slept until dinner. He went to help Yue Baoguo get food, and asked him with some guilt if he wanted to feed him.
"don't want."
Yue Baoguo was holding his breath and eating with one hand was smooth.
After dinner, the two of them were about to go out for a walk, but they saw Ma Su outside.
Ma Su turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "Be careful these days. Once there is any movement, concentrate immediately and bring all the swords and guns back."
When Zhu Zhanyong was still stunned, Yue Baoguo had already understood the meaning.
"Senior brother, are there any thieves coming? Or do those Confucian scholars dare to come to us to set fire?"
This is the front yard of the Fang family, and now all students are arranged to live in the guest rooms. Except for Yue Baoguo and Zhu Zhanyong, there are at least four people in the other rooms.
Ma Su nodded and said, "There may be thieves. If you hear the movement at night, don't panic, you will all get together."
All the students Ma Su informed him, and then he went to report to wake up.
Fang Xing talked with Huang Zhong in the study. After Ma Su came in, he said, "Teacher, you have already notified me."
"You go back and rest, and be alert these few nights."
After Ma Su left, Huang Zhong said dissatisfied: "Master, why don't you transfer some soldiers in quietly?"
Fang Xing shook his head: "Who knows if anyone is staring here? Tunting troops is just to alert the snake. If those horse thieves lurk, we will be passive."
"The servants will take turns at night. There is no need to be nervous. Let's see if those horse thieves dare to come!"
Huang Zhong was a little confused about the confidence of the other party. He was worried that if the horse thief was large, even if he could block it, the casualties would not be small.
Walking out of the study, Huang Zhong turned around and looked at the tallest tree in the Fang family, and always felt that someone was looking at him.
The night came silently...
