Astral Apostle

One hundred and ninety-six

Lu River, Anzhou prefecture, in the government office.

The prefect is talking to the Honshu governor, who is in charge of the military.

"This Chen Feng injured the prefect of Anlin, disappeared for several months, and now he has reappeared. This time, he must be arrested and brought to justice."

The prefect's tone was serious.

The story of the two mountains being levelled with a single gun also alerted officials up and down the Luhe River.

He had been wanted here for several months, and now that he finally learned about him, he immediately responded.

Hearing the words, the commander frowned and said, "It's just that Chen Feng suddenly appeared and disappeared without a trace. I don't know where he went, so it's hard to catch him."

The prefect said solemnly: "The Hongyun Mountain is an accomplice since Chen Feng's help, and now it is expanding, it must be suppressed to maintain the majesty of the imperial court."

"This... Hongyun Mountain annexed Hutou Mountain and Huangdang Mountain. There are 20,000 to 30,000 people at the moment. The bandits and bandits are so powerful that I might not be able to capture them in one state." The commander said hesitantly.

"There are such big bandits in the territory of Luhe, and every state will send troops to fight the thieves. I can send 6,000 people from Anzhou. I will leave it to your commander for the time being, and join the troops and horses of the other states to destroy the thieves in one fell swoop."

The prefect is solemn.

Hearing the words, the commander bowed and said sternly, "I will not teach the prefect to be disappointed!"

...

Lu River, the boundary of Anzhou.

There are no clouds in thousands of miles, the sun is scorching hot, and the world is like a steamer.

Zhou Jing and his party of ten walked on the road, each wearing a straw hat.

Except for Zhang San and the other five captives, Lin Song, the other four were strong men of Kong Wu, and they were not easy to be provoked.

"Brother, Wenshui County is ahead."

Hong Ding first pointed to the front.

Zhou Jing looked out, and the outline of the county town loomed in the distance.

Wenshui County is located on the edge of the Lu River, not far from Jiangchun.

After everyone left Hongyun Mountain, they stopped and walked all the way, crossing many prefectures and counties, and then they came here.

Zhou Jing turned back, looked at everyone, and said, "This place is Brother Hong's hometown. Brother Hong is most familiar with him. The elder brother is old-fashioned and cautious. He brought Brother Hong into the city to find out the situation."

"What about you, second brother?" Guo Hai was deeply curious.

Zhou Jing stroked his chin: "This Luhe wants me everywhere, I'm dazzling in appearance, easy to be recognized by officers and soldiers, so I'd better wait outside... And although Brother Hong is from this place, he has been away for many years, maybe he can sneak in. ."

Hong Ding first touched his bald head: "When I committed a crime and left my hometown, I still had hair. Later, I shaved my head to cover up. The county officials and soldiers probably wouldn't recognize me."

"That's the best." Zhou Jing smiled, and then ordered: "When you enter the city, you must check whether the magistrate and the county magistrate are still the enemies of the Hong brothers. By the way, you can visit the people and ask who else is bullying the city in this county. bully."

"Second brother is going to use them to operate together?" Fang Zhen was very interested.

"Anyway, it's all here, just get rid of it."

Zhou Jing nodded.

A small county does not have enough people, so he can come and go freely.

Moreover, the low city walls of the county town are useless to him,

At night, he can sneak in quietly without going through the city gate, so he doesn't plan to swagger into the city during the day.

After a few people's discussion, they divided their troops into two groups. Guo Haishen and Hong Ding advanced into the city, while Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen took the rest to find a wine shop beside the city to rest.

There were no other guests in the restaurant for the time being. Zhou Jing, Fang Zhen and the others took their seats, joined two tables, ordered meals and turbid wine, and ate at will.

Although Lin Song was a prisoner, apart from his hands being tied with hemp rope, he didn't suffer any humiliation on the way, and he looked pretty good at this time.

"Good man, do you really want to take me back to the Wushan faction?"

He looked at Zhou Jing and hesitated to speak.

Zhou Jing held the wine bowl and glanced at him: "Do you think I am teasing you? When I said that I would bring you to the door to ask for money, of course it counts."

Lin Song's expression was subtle.

When he was taken away from Hutou Mountain by Zhou Jing, he was quite flustered, not knowing what Zhou Jing was doing with him.

Later, when he heard Zhou Jing's plan on the road, he was stunned.

——This strongman is going to tie him to Jiangchun, return to the Wushan faction, and come to the door to ask for a ransom.

Lin Song had never seen such a rampant kidnapper who directly took the hostage to someone else's house to negotiate terms.

If it were ordinary people, forget it, but their Wushan faction is a big faction in Jianghu.

Although he knew that Zhou Jing's martial arts were extraordinary, his actions were too arrogant, and he didn't take their Wu Shan faction seriously. He asked many times along the way, but he still couldn't believe that this was something normal people could do.

Lin Song was really curious about Zhou Jing's purpose, maybe because he thought that Zhou Jing could talk on the road, so he couldn't help asking:

"Hero, I don't understand, you just want money, why put yourself in danger?"

Zhou Jing smacked his lips and said casually: "It's okay to tell you, I want to challenge the world's masters and win the world's number one title, your family's head is famous, I want to play with him, it's that simple... As for you Wu Shan sent many disciples, hey, it’s just a chicken and a dog.”

Lin Song couldn't help being a little angry: "You care so much, be careful that the boat capsizes in the gutter."

"You're also interesting, you call your master's gate a sewer, and you think about us kidnappers."

Fang Zhen was amazed.

When Lin Song heard the words, his expression was a little gloomy, and he said gloomily: "I have something to ask for, you take me back, can you not openly talk about my affair with the daughter of the head?"

"Oh? Didn't you tell it yourself?"

Everyone raised their brows with interest.

Lin Song said helplessly: "I originally wanted to revise a book and give it to the head, so only one person would know, but you all take me back with a big fanfare. If you publicize this, it will harm the name of the head's daughter, and you will be punished by the same people in all corners of the world. Shame."

"Strange, what are you afraid of? Since you have an affair, the matchmaker will be married in the future. Could it be that the head of your family doesn't look down on you?" Fang Zhen asked curiously, knocking peanuts.

The corner of Lin Song's mouth twitched, and he stammered: "Actually, the daughter of the head is engaged, and her husband's family is a big family in Ningtian Mansion. She doesn't want to marry her, so I wanted to find an opportunity to elope with her... Only the head of the family knows about the affair, and there is still room to turn around, but if it becomes a big deal, it will become a laughing stock, and I will definitely not be able to eat it and walk away."

"Hey, it turned out to be an adulterer and a whore!" Fang Zhen despised.

Zhang San scratched his head: "I think it's a love affair between the two, a bit like what a storyteller said... What's that, a talented and beautiful woman?"

"I don't know, this guy is definitely not a genius, at most a little white face with no ink in his stomach."

Zhou Jing laughed happily.

Lin Song's face twitched and he didn't dare to refute.

At this time, Zhang San said curiously: "I'm going to Jiangchun on this trip. I wonder if I can see the rumored Master Yufeng... Young man, you have been talking about Master Yufeng on the way. Is that person true or false?"

Lin Song regained his energy, nodded and said, "Of course it's true! Who doesn't know that in Jiangchun, the real Yufeng can call the wind and call the rain, and can make alchemy and yellow.

On the way, he pulled the banner and kept saying that the Wushan faction and Lingfengzi were old, and wanted to deter these kidnappers, but it was not very easy to use.

Guo Haishen and other heroes in the green forest, more believe in the weapons in their hands, and are skeptical of Lingfengzi's deeds.

Zhou Jing is even less likely to be afraid of himself.

"It's all based on rumors, how can there be such a method in this world?"

Fang Zhen's tone was scornful, he never believed these rumors.

After all, this may sound outrageous, and when you think about it, it is indeed outrageous.

Zhou Jing glanced at him and said, "That's not necessarily the case. There is an old saying in the rivers and lakes. There is no false person under the reputation. This real Yufeng has a great reputation, and he must have the ability."

Fang Zhen was surprised: "Second brother, is it possible that you really believe the nonsense of Lei Jun's descent into the world?"

Zhou Jing asked back, "If you haven't seen my martial arts, do you think my rumors are nonsense?"

Fang Zhen was at a loss for words, and muttered: "Second brother, you are different. There are always traces of martial arts, but this so-called fairy method is mostly made up of mysteries..."

At this time, Lin Song rolled his eyes and said, "Honest man, if you want to be number one in the world, why don't you go to meet this Master Yufeng? If you can compete with such a master, who else is you in this world? opponent?"

Zhou Jing smiled but not smiled:

"Do you think you are very smart? You are as smart as you, and you should enter the palace to serve the emperor. I will castrate you now. Maybe the head of your family will like it and be willing to give more money."

"Don't don't... I'm still useful in keeping it."

Lin Song was full of cold sweat, and quickly shut his mouth and lowered his head to eat rice.

...

On the other hand, Guo Haishen and Hong Dingxian easily entered Wenshui County through a careless investigation by officers and soldiers.

The two were walking on the street, and Hong Ding looked around first.

"How long has it been since Brother Hong returned home?" Guo Haishen asked aside.

"Let's talk about it for five or six years." Hong Ding shook his head and sighed: "It's right and wrong..."

He was a little embarrassed, but quickly adjusted his mood and searched everywhere with Guo Haishen.

Hong Dingxian's uncle and aunt died, leaving a cousin. But the cousin has sold the house and moved to another county, and now another stranger lives in the original house.

The tycoon who was once killed by Hong Dingxian in the street has already fallen into the middle of the family. His wives and concubines have remarried one after another.

But another big family seized the opportunity to fill the vacant gap and became the new tycoon of Wenshui County, colluding with the magistrate to do some shoddy business.

As for the magistrate and the county lieutenant, they were still the same two people, but according to rumors, the magistrate Hua Yinzi got through the door, and he would soon be promoted and transferred out of Wenshui County.

It is normal for local magistrates to corrupt loot and bend the law and loot the people's fat and ointment. As long as there is no trouble, no one in the court will take care of it, and the people here have long been accustomed to it.

It’s almost the same everywhere in this world. There are tyrannical bullies and corrupt officials everywhere. The so-called “prefects who ruin their homes and prefects who destroy their families”. If you want to be obedient, you have to live with them tremblingly and pray that you will not provoke one day. to such a person.

As long as life can go on, and there is no knife on the neck, even if they are bullied a little on weekdays, the people here would rather submit to it and endure it on their own.

The two inquired around, and gradually it was evening.

"It's a coincidence that we came here. If it lasts for a year and a half, your enemy will be transferred." Guo Haishen whispered.

"Perhaps God's will is so, and I want to avenge this revenge."

Hong Ding exhaled first.

Without further delay, the two quickly left the city, found Zhou Jing who was waiting, and told the story.

After Fang Zhen heard it, he said bitterly, "This kind of landlord and gentry, kill one stubble, and grow another stubble, hateful!"

Zhou Jing didn't change his face: "It's only natural that you can't kill all these talented people, but if you meet them, you can kill as many as you can, and it's within your ability."

He was concerned, looked at Guo Haishen and Hong Dingxian, and said:

"Several brothers find some fabrics and charcoal, and write down the crimes of the magistrate and the gentry, and write more copies."

"What is your brother going to do?" Hong Ding was first curious.

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes:

"This trip is to avenge the brothers, but killing these people is also 'doing the way for the sky', and the teacher is famous..."

...

The night passed quietly in the sleep of the people in the county.

During the day, Dianmao's official came to the mansion and found a terrifying scene, and fell to the ground in fright.

I saw the headless magistrate sitting on the high platform with blood all over the floor, with a few large characters written in blood on the wall behind:

"The dog official, Chen Feng!"

The whole city of Wenshui County was alarmed, and it was immediately discovered that not only the magistrate had died, but the local magistrates and the tycoons who often ran rampant in the county also flew their heads at night and died unexpectedly.

Next to the corpses, in the downtown area, and even on the notice boards of the government, there were rags full of words written on them, and gold and silver jewels were sprinkled next to them.

On the rags were written the usual evil deeds of the magistrate and the others, and the gold and silver were copied from their homes and threw directly on the street for others to pick up.

And at the end of the rags, the same sentence was left.

"I vow to slaughter all the corrupt officials and bullies in the world!"

In a small county town, such a big event happened, and it immediately spread to the whole county, and no one knew it.

The people were extremely horrified. At the same time of fear, they saw the high-ranking and domineering master die, and there was a joy in their hearts that they did not dare to express.

The yamen is in a mess, and officials are searching everywhere, but they seem to have no head and no target at all.

At the same time, Zhou Jing and his party had already left Wenshui County and swaggered to Jiangchun.

He has made up his mind, and under the banner of "killing corrupt officials and slaughtering bullies", he will kill with great fanfare all the way.

Every time they pass by, people will ask people to inquire about the local corrupt officials and bullies, and then they will get rid of them with stronger and stronger skills and publicize them.

At first, it will naturally cause panic, but as more and more corrupt officials and bullies are killed by himself, except for those who should be afraid and angry, some people will gradually want him to visit the local area.

The great cause of rebellion needs soil, and although there is nothing to do for the time being, it is possible to build up momentum, draw out public anger, and create a situation.

The Great Xia Dynasty lasted for nearly two hundred years, and the contradictions became more and more acute.

The powerless can only tolerate everywhere, dare not speak out. When an external force that can break the situation appears, many people do not reject or even hope that someone will violently vent on their behalf.

Although the family is still poor and life has not improved, but seeing the unfortunate people who usually ride on the top of their heads to make a fortune, it is a schadenfreude and happy to see it succeed.

People who are poor and even have nothing to fight for their lives the most, because they have nothing to lose, and when they get something, in order to prevent them from being taken away, they will become extremely vicious - this is also the most direct source of rebellion.

The uprising requires the support of such groups. The situation is not mature now, but it is possible to try to gain initial popularity.

While sharpening knives and chopping wood by mistake, and traveling around to challenge masters, he happened to be further famous in the field of "walking the road for heaven".
