Hu Youfu has a very common name, but he has a very extraordinary nickname, called Fan Jianggui.
Generally speaking, anyone with a nickname is not a good person.
Hu Youfu is not a good person. He came from the East China Sea and committed many crimes. He was registered in Jingzhao Mansion and had more than a dozen lives on his hands.
This kind of "big thief" will be beheaded once caught. There are portraits and notices in every state capital.
Six months ago, Hu Youfu was caught when he fled to Xiao County. He was imprisoned in a cell, resigned to his fate, and waited for death.
Until one day, a man came to the cell and told him that his life could be saved, temporarily, but he had to go up the mountain, just go up the mountain, rather than go up the mountain and become a bandit.
Who would want to die if he could live? The prisoner Hu Youfu was dropped and released at night. Two officers from the county government sent him to the mountains and to a village.
Hu Youfu had seen this kind of stockade. It was the place where bandits and bandits gathered. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. It could be attacked or defended.
But Xiao County is not far from the capital. Someone actually built a stockade here. Isn't he afraid of being surrounded by the army? Hu Youwei couldn't figure it out.
After going up the mountain and entering the stronghold, Hu Youfu realized that the people in the stronghold were not bandits, but most of them were "strong men" with shady identities. Most of them were thieves, and there were also some elderly soldiers.
He's been in battle.
We don't go down the mountain, we don't rob property, we just wait and have wine to drink and meat to eat. Some women will come up the mountain regularly to make everyone happy, but it's just a different woman every time they come, and
Every time I leave, I don’t take the path up the mountain.
There are three villages in total, all in the mountains. It is strictly forbidden to go down the mountain without permission. If you are caught running away, it depends on the mood of the leaders. If you are in a good mood, you will be beaten and hung up in the sun for three days. If you are in a bad mood, you will be stabbed to death as a warning to others.
, but the boss rarely has a good mood.
Hu Youfu stayed in the village for half a year. During this period, there were always people going up the mountain and people going down the mountain. The people who went up the mountain were all like him, and their identities were not visible to the public. There were not many people going down the mountain. There were only two or three people going down every now and then.
, some people came back, and some people were never seen again.
Hu Youfu roughly understood that the people around him should be dead soldiers raised by a big shot. The person who raised them should be doing something big. As for what big thing it was, many people had guessed it.
Until more than two months ago, many things happened in the mountains, three things happened.
The first thing was that Wu Daming ran away.
Hu Youfu and Wu Daming were acquainted with each other. This boy was a flower picker, but his tools were as thin as needles, and his methods were despicable. Everyone looked down upon such despicable behavior.
Wu Daming really ran away. Several heads of the family sent people to look for him but could not find him. The head of the house scolded him every day and even began to survey the terrain of the back mountain. He must be afraid that he would be exposed and prepare to take everyone away.
The second thing is that not long after Wu Daming ran away, many brothers disappeared on the mountain. Some went to catch game, and some disappeared inexplicably after going out to urinate. About ten people disappeared, but a few bodies were found later.
The corpse, judging from its appearance, must have been eaten by wild animals.
Hu Youfu saw two corpses and felt a little worried.
No one knew that he had worked as a prisoner before, so he knew some autopsy methods and could tell at a glance that the two corpses must have been tortured before they died.
But Hu Youfu didn't mention it to anyone. Many people died because they talked too much.
The third thing is that someone came again. He was not sent here, but just walked to the village in a swaggering manner. He was very arrogant and domineering. He called himself Lao Jiu and carried a smelly baggage in his hand.
The bundle was untied, and inside was a human head, Wu Daming's head.
This man who calls himself Master Jiu is not very old, but he has a fiery and cruel temper. Just when a brother came up to ask, he has two big ears and half of his teeth are missing. His skills are not bad, but his good ones are scary. He slapped him in the face.
, grabbed the knife at the same time, slashed it out with one blow, and knocked the brother who was just asking to the ground, obediently, he was almost cut in half.
After killing someone, Master Jiu asked several of the bosses to roll in front of him.
Who has seen such majesty, it is terrifying.
The first, second, and third boss were drinking, and the three managers in the village all ran out.
The bookish Master Jiu slashed the eldest master in half with another blow, his head flying high. Before the brothers could speak, a waist card was still placed on the face of the third master, and he scolded everyone.
There is a rumor that Wu Daming was almost lost.
The waist badge is covered with gold and jade. Hu Youwei is well-informed and knows that the waist badge represents a noble person.
Master Jiu threw away his badge and asked the second and third masters to kneel down under the watchful eyes of hundreds of brothers. The second master hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little confused.
Hu Youfu swore to God and hesitated for just a moment, just in the blink of an eye.
The third sword was swung, and the head of the second master, who was the most skilled in martial arts, fell to the ground.
The third master, who was still showing off his power every day, was so frightened that he knelt on the ground on the spot.
Master Jiu kicked the second head of the family's head away. He looked at everyone with his scary eyes and said that from now on, Master Jiu will have the final say on the mountain. Li Mu, the magistrate of Xiaoxian County, is indecisive and unreliable. He is the counselor of King Wu.
On behalf of the King of Wu, he will be in charge of affairs from now on. If people from Xiao County go to the mountain again, they must inform him.
Hu Youfu doesn't know what happened after that. He only knows that in the next few days, Master Jiu became the first master, and the third master, yes, the third master became the second master, and the second master obeyed Master Jiu's orders.
After a few days of peace and quiet, everyone went down the mountain.
That night, more than a thousand people came down the mountain, led by Master Jiu.
Master Jiu said, tonight, I will take them to fight for their future, to win a city, and to win a city together inside and outside, Dachang Dynasty, the capital!
Jiuye is an open-minded person, unlike the former head of the family, Zangzangyeye, who told everyone that they were going to pretend to be officers and soldiers. When the time came, Neiying opened the city gate and the King of Wu had bribed the courtiers and several generals in the capital camp.
Everything is ready to seize the country. The thousand of them are just a small force, and they are going to the Jing camp on the outskirts to meet up with General Yunhui, who secretly joins the King of Wu.
Everyone was excited and a little scared, but the excitement outweighed the fear. Master Jiu seemed to be a reliable person at first sight. He showed his temper, treated everyone equally, and spoke openly. He walked down the mountain and walked in front, carrying a knife. You could tell by his posture.
He was also a gang leader.
Under the moonlight, they were almost reaching the camp. Master Jiu said that he would go first and inform General Yunhui when he entered the camp. After a while, General Yunhui would take the soldiers to change their clothes and give them better weapons.
Yes, Master Jiu didn't let them bring weapons, saying there were better ones in the military camp.
Hu Youfu was very excited. He had never been to the capital before he had such a big life. Master Jiu said that he would go in and give everyone an hour to do whatever they wanted, rob as much as they could, and burn as much as they could.
Everyone was very excited and howled with excitement.
Master Jiu went there for a long time, about one stick of incense, and after a while, he whistled.
Lord Jiu was trustworthy, so everyone entered the military camp in a swaggering manner. The soldiers from the Beijing camp stood outside.
It's just that the expressions of the soldiers were a little strange. Looking at them, it was like looking at a group of...how to put it, it was like seeing a group of people who didn't know how to hide in the house during a thunderstorm.
Then... what happened next, Hu Youfu doesn't remember very clearly.
Before he was shot through the chest by a sharp arrow, he only remembered the soldiers with strange expressions. He suddenly pulled out the longbow from behind, and then a locust-like rain of arrows struck.
Most of the brothers around him fell down, and then there was the sound of a long sword being unsheathed. The soldiers, with red eyes, rushed over and slashed them.
Hu Youwei was lying in a pool of blood, the energy in his eyes gradually dissipating.
He saw a horse, an expressionless man in black clothes riding a horse, rushing into the military camp with forty or fifty people, followed by the sound of quarreling.
A guy who calls himself a general is cursing and saying why the hell didn't he say hello in advance.
It was Master Jiu's voice. Master Jiu said that he went into the mountain alone and there was no one to help him.
The man who had just arrived on horseback kept smiling bitterly, and said that he had just come here to inform General Tan to garrison in Xiao County.
Hu Youfu didn't know what happened after that. He only knew that he was breathing hard, and then he saw a pair of eyes. It wasn't Master Jiu, and it probably wasn't from the army. It was just a man in a black robe, unsmiling, very serious, and very serious.
Carefully, he took out his waist knife and stabbed him in the chest very slowly.
Before he died, Hu Youfu saw that the person who stabbed him turned around and asked calmly, "Will you catch Li Mu?"
Master Jiu said, catch him. If you catch him, hurry back to Beijing. He wants to go back and brag to Chu Qing. He is very excited.
Hu Youfu died, and his death was very painful, just like when he strangled his fellow countrymen to death with his own hands.
Before Hu Youfu died, he thought of his fellow villagers. He and his fellow villagers went to the city to work together and slept in the open beside the official road.
The six hundred coins in the fellow villager's baggage were actually not much, but Hu Youwei felt that the six hundred coins should be his.
That was his first murder.
Hu Youfu was envious of his fellow villagers. At least, his fellow villagers knew why they died, but because of six hundred articles, he himself was very confused and died in confusion.
Aren't you going to do big things? Master Jiu...won't you lead them to do big things?
