A family of officials and bandits in the Republic of China 9

It is precisely because of this that there are so many bandits here who do evil.

The villages at the foot of the mountain are getting poorer day by day, and more or less related to them.

Because this place is poor, it is a luxury to be able to eat three meals a day.

If you want to get rich, you need to have a way out.

But there are many hills and bandits here. Generally speaking, if the goods are not in a hurry, merchants would rather take a detour than take this risk.

Without merchants leading the circulation of goods, gradually, the place became poorer and poorer. The poorer the more people became bandits, and merchants were even more afraid to pass here. Gradually, in order to survive, the people at the foot of the mountain either became bandits or went directly to a foreign land to find a way out.

This phenomenon is common.

The official who just came here to take office had thought about changing this phenomenon, but such things were simply daydreaming.

Not only is the barren area here, but some people have long been used to making a living by the knife after becoming a bandit. They have to return to the past when they went to the field to farm, three meals a day, and a year of food and clothing relying on God's favor, and they can't do it at all.

Another thing is that the bandits on the mountain are more or less covered with blood on their hands. Even if a small number of people don’t, they are accomplices in the calculation. Now the high-ranking officials at the foot of the mountain are naturally willing to be more tolerant of them, but what if this matter is over?

After all, they are bandits, and they have been stained with blood on their hands. How could they return to their previous life so easily and become their own good people?

It’s not that they don’t want to, but there are some things and some roads. Once they do it, once they go on, it’s too difficult to turn back...

Now, this opportunity is in front of them. Not to mention anything else, just this promise made by Gu Yun is enough to make them moved.

Everyone in the village, who doesn’t want to live a stable life, even if it’s not for themselves, they have to do it for their descendants.

They are bandits, should they make their descendants all bandits?

"Brother, I think this is something that can be done," Zhao Si thought for a long time before speaking, "Not to mention that we and Wang Dahu are mortal enemies, I don't believe you have never thought about it before. Besides, the promise made by my sister-in-law is really hard to refuse."

If it weren't for the hard life at the beginning, who would have been willing to go up the mountain to become a bandit?

Over the years, they have to hide their hiding next time, for fear that they will send them to the government after meeting acquaintances and being exposed.

Or I felt embarrassed and didn't dare to meet an acquaintance at all, for fear that the two of them would be speechless, and there was only an awkward atmosphere.

"But how do you say this?" Nan Sheng was not unhappy, but he was even more cautious. "It was said that Ayun said it. If this matter was said, he had to explain the whole story clearly."

"Looking at Ayun's resistance, he would never make it clear easily, so he chose to exchange such a promise for our help."

"But if you don't explain it clearly, why do you let everyone rush forward and work hard for her?"

"Even if everyone wants, will their families be willing? Are their families willing to let them take such risks?"

I have to say that Nan Sheng’s words have indeed put the key points.

Whose life is not life?

If there is no reason, people need to do things. Who can rest assured? Who wants to?

"You can't try it with my sister-in-law? Maybe it can be done." Zhao Si suggested.

"That's all." Nan Sheng frowned and agreed, "I can't guarantee whether it can be done."

Zhao Si nodded and signaled that he knew. In fact, he knew it himself. He gave it a try, but there was just a glimmer of hope. But if the expectations were too high, there would probably be more disappointments in the end.

When Chenxi woke up, the surroundings were dim, his head was a little dizzy, and there was a slight pain behind the back of his neck.

Chenxi reached out and touched his neck that was painful, and secretly complained in his heart.

Sure enough, TV and other things are lies, who says it won’t hurt?

Don't tell her that her current feeling is hallucination.

"woke up?"

Nan Sheng kept paying attention to Chenxi. When he saw her wake up, he stepped forward to help her sit down.

Chenxi's face did not change at all, but she secretly felt glad in her heart. Fortunately, she hadn't said anything, otherwise it would be bad.

"I'll bring you dinner here. Let's have a meal first while it's still a little hot."

Chenxi noticed that the sky outside the house had completely dimmed, with candles lit in the house, and the flashing candlelight swaying in the dark night.

"What do you think of what I proposed?"

Chenxi took the supper and said lightly.

"This proposal is beneficial to you without any harm. Of course, if you have anything to say, as long as it is not excessive, I can agree to you."

"It's not a question of whether we agree or not," Nan Sheng asked, "but what did you hide? Without a reason, how could everyone be willing to help you do things? Even if the promise you made is really touching, we also have our own concerns."

Chenxi took a deep breath, thought for a while, put down the bowl in his hand, turned over and got out of bed, walked in front of the dressing table, took out a small box, opened it gently, and took out something.

"With this, you don't need to worry about whether I will lie to you."

Chenxi released his hand, and there was a round emblem in his palm. Nan Sheng saw the word Gu engraved on it, and he lowered his eyelids, and he had already guessed in his heart.

"This is the emblem of my Gu family. It doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not. The county magistrate or high-ranking official at the foot of the mountain will know this. If you are worried that I will lie to you, you can ask someone to try it."

Sure enough, Gu Yun's words confirmed his speculation.

Nan Sheng took the badge handed over by Gu Yun, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "I will give you an answer to this matter as soon as possible, but I still hope that you can explain everything clearly, so that for you and me, the best way to deal with it."

"Okay," Chenxi was silent for a while, "as long as you help me with this, I will tell you all, and there will be no concealment."

"I hope you remember every word you say now."

Nan Sheng looked at Chenxi deeply, and after speaking, he turned around and left.

With this insignia, as long as it can be proved that this insignia is true, all problems can be solved easily.

Chenxi walked to the door and looked at Nan Sheng's back as he was gradually moving away, and he felt relieved. He thought this matter would take a long time to get involved, but he didn't expect that this matter would turn around so quickly.

However, it would be better to resolve this matter earlier. After all, there are still people in Nancheng that need to be dealt with.

If you drag on like this, the original owner's nominal fiancé is coming soon. By then, the original owner's stepmother's wishful thinking will be really gone.

After Nan Sheng got the badge from Chenxi, he asked Zhao Si to go down the mountain to check if the emblem was real.

After staying at the foot of the mountain for three days, when Zhao Si returned to the mountain, the joy on his face was unconcealed, and anyone could see his good mood at a glance.

"It's true," Zhao Si said excitedly after finding Nan Sheng, "I went to check it. This emblem is real. Moreover, this emblem was made by Shuai Shuai himself, and it was given to his eldest daughter. The points said by his sister-in-law are right."

"I think there is at least an 80% chance of this being true."

"good---"

As soon as these words were said, even Nan Sheng could not hide his joy. They had been looking forward to such a thing for too long.

"We need to let everyone make their own decisions about this matter."

Nan Sheng himself is naturally willing to live back to his previous life.

However, everyone's opinions are also very important. After all, not everyone is willing to go back to the past when they are used to living a life of blood licking from the knife.

The bell for the emergency gathering in the village rang. No matter what the people were doing, they all went to the lobby to gather as fast as possible after finishing up the work. A group of people were crowded there, and the lobby became lively for a while.

Everyone whispered and talked, and the topic changed a circle, but no one knew what the emergency gathering was for.

Just as everyone was guessing various possibilities in their hearts, Nan Sheng was already walking into the lobby quickly, and Zhao Si followed closely behind.

"Quiet----"

As soon as Nan Sheng spoke, everyone immediately calmed down and waited quietly for Nan Sheng's order.

"This time I let everyone gather together for one thing. Personally, I like it, but I can't ignore everyone's opinions."

Nan Sheng turned his head and gave Zhao Si a look and asked him to say this.

"Everyone, what we are going to talk about today is something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time. We -- we -- finally have the opportunity to appear in front of others in a dignified and open manner, and we no longer have to timidly avoid the people we once knew. We -- we -- finally have the opportunity to be an ordinary person, no longer a bandit in the eyes of others, and our relatives are not despised by people because of our identity."

Zhao Si personally investigated this matter, so he naturally had the most say in this matter.

"I'll ask you, now this opportunity is in front of you. Do you want to seize this opportunity?"

"want----"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Who doesn’t want to live like a person, and no longer needs to hide, and live a life of fear and fear.
