Cats have cat lanes, and dogs have dog lanes. This means that if chickens don’t pee, each has its own lane.
The robber who kidnapped Erlang of the Liu family did not use his own banner, but instead implicated Fengzuishan. This kind of behavior is the most taboo.
It can be seen from this that those who dare to do this are either powerful dragons with greater backgrounds than Fengzuishan, or newcomers who don't understand anything, and the latter are much more numerous than the former.
"Master, we found out that it was done by a group of bad gamblers."
The black and white forces of the Wu family began to investigate the matter with all their strength, and their whereabouts were found within a day.
In the elegant room of the delicious restaurant, Wu Xiaoming was holding a cup of tea, gently brushing the tea leaves with the tea lid, and said calmly: "What's going on?"
"There was a gambler named Lapi San who worked as a helper for the Liu family for a few days. When he was making money, he showed off the Liu family's wealth to others. Gamblers always lose nine out of ten bets, and more often than not lose their entire fortune. A few of them will lose everything.
After hearing this, the bad gambler asked a few questions to the bad guy Sanduo, treating the Liu family as fat sheep." The person who reported the report was a big stall owner of the casino, and he described the situation in a very clear-cut manner, as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
.
Wu Xiaoming nodded slightly. The Liu family was a nouveau riche and their mentality had not yet changed. They didn't even have a few maids to serve them, let alone the servants who cared for the home.
With a lot of money, few people, and no guards, this is nothing but a fat sheep.
If it weren't for the good relationship between the two families, Mr. Wu couldn't help but send a few people to the Liu family.
There is no need for more. As long as ten bandits with simple knives come down from the mountain, they can level the Liu family in one night. All the money they have worked hard to save in the past few years will be used as wedding dresses.
In today's world, there are simply too many things like this where people suddenly become rich and then have their family wiped out overnight.
In normal people's homes, just like a few wealthy families in the town, they always take the guardian with them when they go out. The Liu family suffered such a disaster, half of it was their own death, and half of it was their own. If these rotten gamblers didn't bother them, there were other people who took action.
"Gather the troops and let's take a trip."
"Yes, Master."
"Brothers are good, are you good enough? Five leaders, six six six"
At night, bursts of laughter came from a desolate ruined temple.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and no one among the people drinking and fist-fighting in the ruined temple could have guessed that dozens of horses were galloping in the distance.
It is true that Fengzuishan is a bandit nest, but unlike ordinary bandits, they are more like thieves with a base.
It is this kind of village that comes and goes like the wind and has strong soldiers and horses that can firmly take root in Fengzui Mountain and remain standing for decades.
"Young Master, this is where we are." Near the ruined temple, the bandits who were being watched jumped out of the woods.
Wu Xiaoming sat on a tall horse, glanced at the lights in the ruined temple, and said without looking back: "Get off the horse and rush in. If there is resistance, shoot and kill."
Still a few hundred meters away from the ruined temple, the bandits dismounted one after another and grabbed their waist knives in their hands.
Fengzuishan is an old village, and the old village represents these people. Each of them is an expert. There is a set of rules in the village about what to do in any situation.
Seven or eight bandits walked in front, followed by ten people, and the remaining people formed an encirclement.
Almost as soon as the ruined temple was surrounded, the leading bandits kicked open the door, and more than a dozen people rushed forward.
"who?"
"Copycat guys, it's us!"
After kicking open the door, within a few breaths, several screams came from inside.
Under the protection of the two little bosses, Wu Xiaoming got off his horse and walked towards the ruined temple.
When they arrived inside the Arrancar, they saw three corpses lying on the ground, and two stunned gamblers kneeling on the ground.
Looking inside, I saw where the statue of the god was placed in the ruined temple. The statue had disappeared. A scholar in green clothes was lying there with his mouth gagged, whining and yelling something.
"Second uncle, don't be afraid, brother-in-law, I'm here to save you." The bandit holding the knife made way for him, and Wu Xiaoming walked in with a smile on his face.
Seeing Wu Xiaoming, Liu Jiaerlang breathed a sigh of relief and finally stopped screaming.
He had been frightened just now. After kicking open the door, more than a dozen murderous men rushed in. With a few blows, they chopped the kidnappers to the ground. The ruthlessness of their attacks showed that they were not ordinary people.
Erlang thought he was going to be doomed, but fortunately, there was a turn of events. The moment he saw Wu Xiaoming, he knew that his life was saved.
"Second uncle, they didn't bully you, did they?" Wu Xiaoming walked up and untied the rope that tied Liu Nan.
There are four boys and three girls in the Liu family. The names of the four sons are very interesting, namely Zhi, Difficult, Action and Easy.
Erlang's name is Liu Nan. He is the number one scholar in the old Liu family and is valued more than Dalang who runs a teahouse.
"They didn't bully me, they just didn't give me food. I didn't eat for a whole day and a night." Liu Nan tore off the rag in his mouth, and when he saw Wu Xiaoming, it was like seeing his backbone, and he burst into tears for a while.
Wu Xiaoming waved his hand and gestured to bring the kidnapper's wine and meat to Erlang, and asked: "There are two people left, what do you plan to do with them?"
Liu Nan's eyes flashed, he looked at the two kidnappers, then at the corpse on the ground, and whispered: "To tell you the truth, I am a scholar, and I will be tested for people to seek fame in the future. I'm afraid this matter will spread out.
not good."
If it's not good to spread the word, what else can we do? Just kill people and silence them.
Wu Xiaoming looked at Liu Nan thoughtfully, and it turned out that those who use their mouths are more capable of killing people than those who use their swords. This Erlang of the Liu family is a talented person.
As long as the five kidnappers are dead and no one reports the matter to the authorities, it will pass after a while and the scandal of being kidnapped will no longer be mentioned.
"They want to kill people and silence them. We will fight with them!" The two kidnappers kneeling on the ground were not willing to just wait for death.
The one who spoke rushed forward, trying to snatch the guard's sword away.
The next second, the sword flashed, and the leader fell to the ground, with half of his neck cut off.
The other one was smarter and did not want to fight with anyone. He ran directly towards the window of the ruined temple and actually wanted to jump out of the window and escape.
"Whoosh"
The idea is good, but unfortunately no matter how good it is, it is just a thought.
There was a "whoosh" sound, and an arrow shot out, hitting the man directly in the back of the heart.
Yu Jian rushed forward with his body, and the arrow passed through his chest, pinning the man directly to the wall, only one step away from the window.
"Haha" chuckled, Wu Xiaoming took back his right hand, holding a small crossbow.
If you have never killed anyone, that is of course a lie. A dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit, and a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat. How can you become the young master of Fengzuishan without killing people?
When facing Yinniang, he would definitely deny it. This was something that he didn't have to think about.
This is not deception, but a white lie. I believe that a smart man like Liu Jiaerlang will not talk too much after going out.
"Second uncle, I have asked my father to go to Liu's house to pay Yin Niang a betrothal gift. From now on we will be a family." After the murder, Wu Xiaoming still smiled inappropriately, and Liu Nan nodded repeatedly.
"A family has always been a family." Liu Nanneng was admitted as a scholar, and he was not a fool who studied hard. He knew what he should say.
Wu Xiaoming nodded slightly, put the crossbow back into his sleeve, and said, "Second uncle, let's go home now. Don't keep Yin Niang and the others waiting."
After saying this, Wu Xiaoming and Erlang walked out, without anyone taking a second look at the body on the ground.
When they came outside, they got on their horses and soon saw the fire rising into the sky. It was estimated that nothing would be left after one night.
Accompanied by several guards, the two rode on horseback, chatting and laughing along the way.
When they were almost approaching Huaishu Village, Liu Nan's smile gradually faded and he said sadly: "Well, with my knowledge, it's the end of the road for me to be a scholar. If I want to pass, it depends on the examiner's wishes. The judge Lu Tong in the state capital is
It would be great if I could be a disciple of the Grand Master of the Imperial Dynasty and take advantage of this opportunity."
Lu Tongpan was a fifth-grade official, slightly inferior to the fifth-grade prefect, but he was also a candidate member of the prefect.
The Wu family's backer in the state capital is this judge Lu Tong. Rumor has it that Judge Lu Tong is about to be promoted and is likely to take over the position of prefect in the next year.
"Second uncle, you are a caring person!" Wu Xiaoming knew that Liu Nan meant to borrow a ladder to climb up when he said this. He probably had inquired about the relationship between the Wu family and Lu Tongpan before he came back.
After all, the current Liu Nan is a scholar, and this level is not enough to enter Lu Tongpan's horizons.
If there was no one to introduce him, Liu Nan might not be able to get in even if he wanted to give a gift. From this, it can be seen that Liu Nan was really not sure of winning.
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoming collected his thoughts and said: "If it is just to promote people, even if you spend money to fill a vacant official, you can at most go to a lower county to be a county magistrate. It will be difficult to climb up again. If a family does not talk about the two
Family talk, if you want to rely on Lu Tongjuan, I'm afraid the drunkard's intention is not to drink, and a single official will not be satisfied, right?"
If you follow Lu Tongpan's path, you can only show filial piety, but at most you can only promote others.
Liu Nan seems to be a shrewd person, and I'm afraid that Lu Tongpan is not the end of the line. The person he really wants to rely on should be the person in the court.
To be honest, Wu Xiaoming is not very optimistic about this road.
The Liu family has a weak foundation and is not from a well-known family. If you spend ten thousand taels of silver on it, it's hard to say whether you can get the title of Juren.
Moreover, when you reach the level of Jinshi, you can't really succeed by spending money on it.
If you really spend money, there is no risk at all. Wouldn't it be true that every family in the Jiangnan salt merchants and Shaanxi miners would become a Jinshi?
"Whether it's successful or not, at least I have an idea. When I met those people this time, I finally understood everything. Life is just like that. If I don't work hard, I won't be willing to do it!
"Liu Nan's tone was filled with strong reluctance. He was not a person who liked peace and happiness.
Wu Xiaoming did not agree directly, but said vaguely that he would ask for him when he got back.
After all, Liu Nan's true level is that he is a talented scholar and is dissatisfied with others.
If he wanted to climb up, he could only sharpen his head, bribe the examiner, and give it to someone to make a knife for him.
In today's stupid and unscrupulous world, people who kill people can use money to pay debts, but there is still no discussion on cheating in the exam. If found out, they will be exiled for three thousand miles.
Although the crime is not as bad as that of his family, Erlang of the Liu family, as Yin Niang's biological brother, would have to blame him if he really got to this point.
