Chapter 18: Justice outside the customs will not be long
Goodness inside the gate will not wait for a long time, but justice outside the gate will not wait for a long time.
I don’t know who made up this limerick, but it was passed around, and it was exactly as the song said.
The two Zhengyi brothers outside the pass were still in the mansion in Lingcheng, but they didn't know that a good price had been paid for their heads.
"Let me meet the team for training!"
There was a commotion outside the mansion. Huai Zheng came out after approving a piece of brocade and holding it in his sleeves.
"Why are you arguing? We are all brothers!"
The visitor is reporting from Anding City and has something important to report.
Huai Zheng yawned: "Let's just say it here!"
"Trouble training, there is a bright red color in the river at the foot of Wushu Mountain. What do you think this is?"
The visitor respectfully presented a piece of yellow paper with both hands. With his drunken eyes, he could only see the portrait on the paper clearly. With the light in the museum, Huai Zheng took a closer look from a distance. Isn't this exactly the portrait of my two brothers?
Throwing the yellow paper away, he said contemptuously: "The people of the five cities support us and make a portrait of our two brothers to worship them. What's the big deal?"
The visitor picked up the yellow paper from the ground, unfolded it, and presented it tremblingly: "Tuanlian, look at the articles on the list!"
Huaizheng looked impatient, took the yellow paper, crumpled it into a ball and held it in his hand: "Okay, okay, if you have nothing else to do, take care of the city's affairs!"
After that, he turned around and entered the house.
The visitor's cheeks were red, he knelt down and clenched his fists, shouting: "What kind of evil have you done!"
Huai Zheng in the room laughed, looked out the door contemptuously, and continued to touch the wine on the table and drink a few sips.
"What do you have in your hand?"
"Brother Gongchang outside the door just sent us a portrait painted by the common people!"
Huaiyi saw something unusual about the yellow paper in his brother's hand. His face sank and he stretched out his hand and asked, "Bring it to me and take a look."
Huai Zheng threw it casually and threw it next to the sofa.
Huaiyi hurriedly picked it up, opened the crumpled yellow paper, and looked at it carefully. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground with his feet weak.
"Brother, someone is trying to mess with us!"
When Huaizheng heard this, he paid attention to it. He put down the wine bottle in his hand, came over and grabbed the yellow paper: "What did the superiors say?"
"My two brothers have been given a reward, and the price per head is three hundred taels of silver!"
"Who laid it?"
"The yellow paper issued a heavy order, who else could be there besides Lord Tie?"
The two of them sat slumped on the ground, their eyes empty.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there was also chaos in the court, including Master Tie who was also looking for a way out for himself. The palace strictly prohibited the division of branch forces. In order to cover up others' eyes, Master Tie secretly ordered his disciples to re-establish the rules. All yellow paper orders were the top priority, followed by
Use yellow and black paper as the order. All yellow paper hanging statues are designated as secret orders and rewards are offered, and a master spy will deliver them to the person who reveals them within three days.
On the way, Zhou Rang woke up in a daze.
"He's awake!"
The four men stopped their horses and pulled the man off his horse.
Jingqian took a pot of water from under the saddle, poured it on Zhou Rang's face, put the knife on his neck and asked: "Tell me! What is your relationship with Kuang Hongfei? Who is Lord Tie?"
When he was about to die, Zhou Rang was still thinking about the two cities that Kuang Hongfei had promised him. He immediately knelt down and cried out: "I don't know Kuang Hongfei. Dear heroes, you have misunderstood. I am just a refugee from Gongchang!"
The scholar came over from the side, holding a dagger in his hand, and cut off Zhou Rang's upper clothes with one knife, and asked, "Don't fugitives have such delicate skin and tender flesh?"
Zhou Rang quickly covered his belly with his hands and shouted: "I said, I said, I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the army battalion, Kuang Hongfei is my boss, and the man named Master Tie is his master! This is a man who holds great power but is very hidden.
Until now, the commander-in-chief has never known that such a person exists."
After repeated questioning, Zhou Rang revealed the truth.
Jingqian shook his head in disappointment, looked at Xiucai and said, "It's not him!"
When Zhou Rang heard this, he immediately felt happy. He knelt down and crawled to Jing Qian's side, hugging his legs and crying: "My great savior, you are really wise. Just say that I am not the person you are looking for. Forgive me." Take your life!"
Ma Jun jumped off his horse, walked quickly to Xiucai, grabbed the dagger, rushed over and stabbed Zhou Rang in the leg: "Let you go? My brothers, have you let him go?"
The scholar hurriedly stopped Ma Jun, and Jinggan kicked Zhou Rang away from his feet. He grabbed Ma Jun's wrist and shook his head seriously: "No!"
Zhou Rang rolled on the ground in pain, and Jingqian tore off a piece of cloth to bandage the wound.
Since then, Zhou Rangzhi has been out of trouble and thanked him repeatedly.
Jingqian said: "Someone is paying to kill you. Don't come back. If you still have an opinion, just come to us!"
Zhou Rangyi gritted his teeth and thought calmly. Who else could have done such a thing? He blamed himself for being distracted by those two cities and being careless. He hurriedly asked: "Does this hero know who his employer is?"
"The rules of the world, one code equals the other, the rules cannot be broken!"
Zhou Rang hugged his legs and cried with pain on his face and asked: "Hero, can you give me a way to go? He will definitely thank you for not killing me today!"
"Well? Stop talking about it! I hope you can change your mind and stop following those people who do evil. If you hear or know something in the future, just write it on the big stone tombstone outside Niutou City as a thank you!"
Jing Qian didn't look good at all when he spoke, and Zhou Rang knelt down to thank him and agreed.
Even though Ma Jun and Song Ren were very dissatisfied, Song Ren never said a word. The scholar could see Song Ren's forbearance in a trance.
"Jinggan, are you really going to let such a person go?"
Jingqian looked at the pass and said lightly: "Let him go!"
Unlike Ma Jun, Ma Jingqian doesn't even know how to behave as a person. Maybe it's because the opportunities given to him in this era are too slim and he has no choice. Maybe he never knows that if he lets go of a scourge, he will What consequences will result.
As Luo Sang aged, this aloof tribe gradually lost its original edge, and the vast northwest gradually transformed from a place of strict rules and scepters into cruel rivers and lakes disputes.
Among them, the most mixed forces and the most cruel ones were the lost ten years.
Forces large and small, one by one, are restless under the strong pressure of the soft storm. Most of them stand on their own, and a small number return to the invisible hands to carry out invisible and cruel tasks.
Some people say that Jianghu is so chivalrous!
However, surrounded by many forces, Xia? Do you think you live too long?
The Sanlaohui, Cema Gang, Lianliu Brotherhood, etc. who were driven to the border in the past were also ordered by Lord Tie after the chaos broke out: to form societies in private, the bandits must be suppressed!
There is a hint of Luosang tribe in the meaning.
Bandit? Ridiculous!
If the powerful do not recognize you, you are a bandit!
When the news reached Luosang's ears, Luosang pretended not to have heard it at all.
The situation became increasingly serious, and Kuang Hongfei was appointed deputy commander among the warlords due to his meritorious service in the reconquest. On the other hand, because Master Tie won the eleven-city bidding game and won eight cities, he was appointed governor of the new province.
After being overtly and covertly favored by the two major forces, Kuang Hongfei's family became the dominant one and controlled eight cities, which was enough to compete with the Luosang tribe.
At this time, Kuang Hongfei began to slowly break away from Marshal Feng, while gradually avoiding Lord Tie, and combined the benefits of both parties to form a secret new army.
