When the waiter served the dishes again, Feng Jiuxiao stopped him and asked softly: "I want to ask you something!"
The store clerk immediately leaned over and said, "Sir, please speak!"
"I heard there are bandits around here?"
"have!"
Feng Jiuxiao didn't expect this guy to answer so simply!
"Oh? Where are these bandits?"
"Actually, they are bandits, they are deserters from Shu! They are officers and soldiers who escaped from the front line! Master, you should know that deserters are required to be killed by law! They knew that there would be no way to survive after they escaped, so they fell into a trap.
Bandits, occupy the mountain and become king! The leader is called Guo Kai, a junior officer."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Don't they know that Shu has surrendered to Song?"
The shop assistant said: "I don't know the situation yet, but I guess they should know. After all, it has been many days since Emperor Shu surrendered. Their information cannot be so opaque."
Feng Jiuxiao glanced at Zeng Yong, "Don't these officers and soldiers know how to surrender to the Song army?"
Zeng Yong said: "We have to surrender. If we didn't surrender earlier, why would we run away?"
Feng Jiuxiao thought for a while and said: "Well, there is indeed a problem here. At that time, I ran away to save my life because I couldn't defeat the Song army. I occupied the mountain and became the king also to save my life, fearing that Shu would be held responsible. But now the Shu dynasty is no longer
If they exist again, why don’t they come down from the mountain? Even if they are disarmed and return to the fields, no one will hold them accountable.”
Zeng Yong snorted coldly and said: "Maybe he is addicted to robbing. After all, the benefits here are greater than when he was a soldier!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Well, that makes sense."
He turned to the man and asked, "Besides this group of bandits, are there any other bandits?"
The store clerk said with certainty: "No! The reason why I am so sure is because several groups of mountain bandits in the surrounding area were defeated by Guo Kai! Now he is the only mountain king within a radius of 300 miles!"
"Do you know that they robbed a house a few days ago?"
"I know! There were people talking here yesterday! The person who said they were robbing was the Du family of Yazhou. The Du family is a well-known family in our local area. They have many high-ranking officials and the family also owns a lot of properties. They are truly rich.
Powerful!"
Zeng Yong said: "It seems that Guo Kai and the Du family know each other!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes, if you don't rob others but only rob their homes, you are definitely not doing it randomly!"
Chang Zijin said: "The first thing is probably to make money! Their family is rich!"
Zeng Yong said: "That's right! Pursuing money is the most likely possibility! But under normal circumstances, people who are looking for money will not kill themselves. Once they hurt people's lives, it means that they have lost their way. If they try to rob again, they will most likely die.
If they resist, they will lose more than they gain!"
Pang Shishi asked: "Could it be pure revenge? I haven't heard how much money they robbed, but they killed all the men and took away the women. This is not like an ordinary robbery!"
Zeng Yong said: "I heard someone over there was still discussing this matter just now. It seems that not all the women were snatched away, but all the elderly ones were also killed. The ones snatched away were all young girls! It is equivalent to annihilating the family!"
Feng Jiuxiao looked solemn: "Yes, it is equivalent to annihilating the family. How much hatred does this have?"
The food and wine were served one after another, and everyone started to get started immediately. They ordered two jars of Jian Nanchun and drank a small amount, not daring to drink more.
When the waiter served the last dish, he took a special look at the iron basin in front of Big Wolf. It was empty. The iron basin contained thirty kilograms of beef! From the perspective of the waiter, he could naturally conclude that the basin of meat was absolutely empty.
The blond man ate it alone! What a huge appetite!
I finished eating quickly. According to the information provided by the store clerk, the mountain is called Shuanglong Ridge. The shape of the mountain is like two dragons circling around each other, so it is named Shuanglong Ridge.
When Pang Shishi paid the bill, he specially picked a banknote with the smallest denomination and put it on the counter. The shopkeeper's eyes were straightened! Three thousand taels! This would require more than 2,900 taels of silver to be recovered, but it was a pity that they did not have a large banknote on hand.
If you use a banknote, you can only get back a large ingot of silver.
Feng Jiuxiao reminded: "If you have any valuable gadgets, they can be used as money." Where should I put the two thousand taels of silver? How can people rest if they are placed in the car?
When the shopkeeper heard this, he woke up from a dream and said, "Is this okay?"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Okay! If our money comes from a strong wind, we don't have to look for it."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Young Master is joking, how can I eat three thousand taels for a meal? I really have a treasure here, it is estimated to be worth two or three thousand taels!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What treasure?"
The shopkeeper glanced around and saw that no one else was paying attention. He immediately carefully took out a brocade box from his arms. After opening it, there was a white jade pipa inside, only two inches in length. It was carved with exquisite craftsmanship and lifelike features.
.
Zeng Yong recognized that this was a treasure for fun, "It's a good thing, it's almost worth two thousand seven hundred taels."
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Okay, since Brother Zeng said it, let's keep it like this and keep it at fifteen."
The shopkeeper's face turned into a flower with a smile. The jade pipa was indeed bought for more than 2,000 taels of silver, but it was worth at most 2,700 taels. Calculating it this way, he still made a lot of money, at least an extra one hundred taels.
An extra two ounces of net profit!
When everyone left, many people stared at their backs.
Just when Pang Shishi was about to turn around to see who dared to stare at him, Feng Jiuxiao said: "Don't even look back!"
Pang Shishi had no choice but to endure it. After leaving the door, he felt a little depressed and asked, "Why aren't you allowed to look back?"
"You just want to look back to find out who is looking at you. At most, you can glare at them. Smart people will understand this as a warning, but stupid people will think it is a provocation! If you happen to meet some stupid people, they will
We will immediately have a conflict with you and alert the prefect, who will try to persuade us to stay. It won’t matter if we leave then, or if we don’t leave!”
Yuan Zishan said: "Your eldest brother is right. If the prefect is really alarmed, your eldest brother insists on leaving because he doesn't want to give the prefect any face. But if he doesn't leave, it will waste another whole day!"
Pang Shishi said: "I understand." But he was dissatisfied. No one in that room could fight! He could knock them all down with three or two moves, and then leave immediately. What kind of prefect, Sima?
So what if I know, I have already left and disappeared!
Feng Jiuxiao stepped onto the carriage and looked back at Pang Shishi, "Not convinced? Disagree?"
Pang Shiwu said: "Well, I'm not convinced."
Feng Jiuxiao opened the curtain and entered the carriage, and a voice came from inside: "You want to beat someone up?"
Pang Shishi said with an angry face: "Of course! Those guys are not staring at me!" Although he did not look back, he basically knew who was staring at who among them, including a few drunkards.
He even whistled at Yuan Zishan, Chili Pepper, Chang Zijin and Er Ni. This was naked teasing! Pang Shiwu didn’t know why the elder brother could bear it! If anyone dared to be disrespectful to his elder sister-in-law before, it would be against his will.
scale!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Let's go to Shuanglong Ridge. The person you want to beat will definitely follow!"
Pang Shiwu's tiger eyes flashed, "Really?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "When the shopkeeper took out the jade pipa, they were already targeting us!"
"You mean, they will come to snatch the jade pipa?"
"Of course! Among us, apart from Brother Zeng who is like a swordsman, who else is like a master? You are like a hot-blooded young man, I am like a weak scholar, Brother Wolf is like a big fool, and together with four beautiful beauties from all over the country,
I also have valuable antiques and jades on me. If not, who are we to rob?"
Pang Shiwu immediately became energetic and said, "Okay then. Let's walk slowly and wait for them."
Zeng Yong said: "No, we should walk quickly! The faster we walk, the faster they will show up!"
Pang Shishi said: "I understand, the faster we go, the more afraid they are that we will disappear, so they will follow closely and show up sooner! So what are we waiting for? Let's go straight to Shuanglong Ridge now!"
