In Tai'an Town, the streets are full of people and traffic, making it a lively and busy scene. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the cries of hawkers and stall owners are endless. If you pass by some food stalls or restaurants, you can also smell the charming aroma of various delicacies.
.
This town is close to Mount Tai and is blessed by the Taishan Sect. There are also some industries belonging to the Taishan Sect in the town. The green tea or other materials produced from Mount Tai are often sent here to be sold, and the gate party is used for funds.
It consumes a lot of money and cannot be done without industrial support. Even a noble place like Shaolin Temple has to charge pilgrims and believers for incense money to make a living.
Lei Yong walked on the street, with a relaxed look on his face, scanning the surrounding shops. Walking on this street, he felt a sense of relief, like a caged bird flying out of the cage and soaring
Between heaven and earth.
Last night, he made an excuse to say goodbye to his father Lei Ming and got permission to go out. He guessed that his father must have let him out because he thought he was too stupid and was disgusted. But Lei Ming didn't give him too much.
During the outing time, he was only allowed to wander outside for three to five days, and he was told to go down the mountain and take a look at the properties left by the Taishan sect in the town to see if there were any changes.
He knew his father's character very well. If his father told him to go back in three or five days, he must go back within five days. If not, he would be scolded again.
Five days is neither long nor short. For him, it is enough.
Halfway through the journey, he had already hatched a plan to please his father, which was quite simple and practical.
He planned to direct and perform a good show of chivalry, hire a group of fake robbers, and let these fake robbers run to block the road and rob. Then he would step forward at the critical moment and beat the fake robbers away. Those who were rescued would definitely
I will be grateful to him. When the time comes, he will push things along and let these rescued people go to the Taishan Sect to spread the word, and the matter will be done.
Directing and acting in such a fake show is really a bit self-deceiving, but apart from this method, he really can't think of any better way. His father has been very angry recently. If he doesn't find a way to please his father, he will definitely not have a good life recently.
.The blow I received on my head yesterday is still aching.
Thinking of this, the back of his head hurt again, and he raised his hand to touch it. The pain once again strengthened his idea of acting in a play.
To perform this play, the most important thing is to find a group of people to pretend to be bandits. It is best for this group of people to know some martial arts, but they should not be too strong. They only need to be warriors from the first or second heaven. Ordinary people may not be able to
If you are willing to do this kind of thing, playing the role of a robber is not a glamorous thing. And it is more or less risky. It is best to gather a few local hooligans or top-notch gamblers. Such people are more courageous and very greedy for money.
, can be driven by money.
It is not difficult to find gangsters and gamblers. The three places where these people go most often are restaurants, casinos and brothels.
Lei Yong first went around several properties of the Taishan Sect, planning to find someone to pretend to be a fake bandit after he finished shopping.
A son is valued by his father. Although he can't hold his head high in front of his father, he still has a lot of face in front of ordinary people. Others don't dare to neglect him because of Thunderbolt Swordsman Lei Ming's face. They all treat him with dignity.
He looked respectful. In the process, he intentionally or unintentionally asked about local security issues and the names of some local gangsters, and he actually asked a few names.
Although the Taishan Sect is here to take control, there are still some local ruffians in the town. There are so many residents here that it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed. Let alone here, even under the emperor's feet, this situation cannot be avoided.
If there are cruel people killing people in the town, the Taishan Sect will naturally not sit idly by and ignore them, but if it is just some trivial matters, the Taishan Sect cannot control them so strictly. If they catch them, they will only give them a few lessons.
.
Lei Yong needed the help of these people and secretly wrote down the names of the people he asked.
After leaving a teahouse in the Taishan sect, he went straight to a nearby casino.
Regardless of whether it is a high-end or a low-end place like a casino, the conditions inside are all the same, and they all give people a sense of smog. Three religions and nine streams are mixed in, and the gamblers are shouting with their eyes red, and their voices are louder than the hawkers.
There are also some thieves fishing in troubled waters and hanging around gamblers. If anyone is not careful, their money will suffer a big loss.
Lei Yong knew that this was not a good place, so he was extra vigilant, kept an eye on his belongings, and quickly scanned around to take in all the people in the casino. He also had a certain amount of experience in the casino, and based on visual inspection alone,
Then he picked out the two thieves who were mixed up in the casino.
A thief, no matter how much he pretends to be nonchalant, will always show some flaws, so it is not difficult to identify him.
The names Lei Yong wrote down were all local black sheep, and they must be familiar with local thieves. He simply walked up to one of the thieves and patted the latter's back a few times.
The thief was stunned for a moment, turned around quickly, and glanced at Lei Yong, appearing very wary.
"My friend, what do you do for me?" Seeing Lei Yong's kind expression, the thief breathed a sigh of relief and asked tentatively.
"I want to ask you about some people." Lei Yong knew that having money makes things easier. He took out a piece of broken silver as big as a bean from his pocket and put it into the thief's hand.
When the thief saw Qian's eyes open, he immediately put on a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Okay, if you want to ask about someone, just agree to it. There is nothing unclear to me in this Tai'an town."
This was not a place to talk, so Lei Yong waved to the thief and motioned for him to follow him out. The thief hesitated for a moment, then took the risk and followed behind.
When he got outside, Lei Yong turned a corner and walked to a secluded corner. The thief also followed him, but he refused to go deep into the corner and just stood on the edge. It was much more convenient to talk here, Lei Yong
Yong told the names of those people and asked the thief to help set up a bridge and introduce them to him.
When the thief heard these names, he rolled his eyes and immediately made a guess. He asked Lei Yong about his purpose of finding these people. Of course Lei Yong couldn't explain clearly. He just claimed that he had a business to do with these people. When the thief heard about it, he immediately made a profit.
The lion opened his mouth and asked for a matchmaking fee. Lei Yong followed the principle of not revealing his wealth. Although he didn't care about the money, he still bargained for a while and finally promised three taels of silver as a reward.
The money was enough. The thief smacked his lips and asked Lei Yong to wait where he was while he ran to find those people. Before the thief left, Lei Yong gave some instructions, saying that there was no need to
All these people have been found, and it is enough to find just one or two people.
The thief took the order and left. Driven by money, he was very efficient in doing things. It didn't take long before he brought someone with him.
This man is a middle-aged man with a well-proportioned figure, wearing a clean black suit, and an inconspicuous short knife hanging from his waist. Looking at his face, he looks quite ugly, with uneven faces. His eyes are also sharp.
He's a thief and doesn't look like a good person at first glance.
"I have brought you a man. This big brother's name is Jiang Jue. He is quite famous in the local area. He is exactly the person you are looking for." The thief smiled and stretched out his hand, and the meaning was self-evident.
According to the previous agreement, Lei Yong took out three taels of silver and threw it casually into the hands of the thief.
The man named Jiang Jue's eyes suddenly moved and he glanced around Lei Yong's hand, actually observing the details of Lei Yong's cultivation.
The thief took the money, smiled, and walked away wisely. Before leaving, he patted Jiang Jue on the shoulder and said greedily: "Brother Jiang, if there is any good business, don't forget to share a piece of the pie with me."
"Don't worry. How could I forget you when something good happens?" Jiang Jue chuckled, his voice sounding like a crow's strange cry, but not that pleasant.
After the thief left, Lei Yong and Jiang Jue were left here. The former got straight to the point: "Friend, the reason why I came to you is to discuss a deal with you. Are you interested?"
"You tell me first, and after you finish speaking, I can confirm whether you are interested." Jiang Jue said strangely.
"This matter is not easy to explain." Lei Yong rubbed his hands and considered his words, "I want you to help me find a few people, and then let these people pretend to be robbers and run to the road to rob. Before those people rob
When the time comes, I will step forward, have a fake fight with those people, and beat them away. To put it bluntly, I want you to find a group of people to help me put on a good show of drawing a sword to help when the road is rough. "
Hearing this, Jiang Jue was stunned for a moment, obviously he had not expected to encounter such a business deal. He looked at Lei Yong again, and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't look like you are joking.
But I really can’t figure out why you would pay someone to do this kind of thing, it’s not fun.”
"Of course I have my own purpose. As long as you can help me get things done, I can give you one hundred taels of silver as a reward. As for how to distribute the one hundred taels of silver, it is your own business.
Yes. I think for such an easy thing, my reward of one hundred taels is not too small." Lei Yong said naturally.
"One hundred taels is indeed a lot, but this matter is not as simple as you said. You have to know that there is still a certain risk in this matter. When you find someone to pretend to be a robber, you need to hold some guys, and you have to be presentable.
In such a fight, what if you are injured while fighting? What if you call in the official? If our brothers get a lawsuit because of this matter, where can we go to complain?" Jiang Jue fired like a gun.
asked.
"You are worrying too much. The risk is not that big. When the time comes, all you have to do is pick some soft persimmons to attack. You don't have to fight them, let alone hurt them. You just need to scare the passers-by who are being robbed. I will do it with you."
When I do this, I will also be cautious. I can only pat you lightly a few times and I will never let you get hurt."
"The sword has no eyes. You have sense. The sword has no sense. No, no."
Lei Yong saw that the other party was asking for money in a different way, so he stopped arguing and simply asked: "Then tell me, how much money do you want?"
"Brother, you seem to be a sensible person. This is our first time working together. In order to make you a friend, I will suffer a little loss and ask for less money." Jiang Jue rolled his eyes and stretched out three fingers and said,
"The fixed price is three hundred taels. This money is not for me, but for my brothers. I'm afraid I won't be able to get even one tael of silver afterwards. Maybe I'll have to add some money to it."
Go in. In addition, you have to pay a deposit of fifty taels of silver in advance. This is also the rule of doing business."
Lei Yong chuckled lightly and disagreed. The other party said it nicely, but how could it be so real? However, three hundred taels of silver was not a big amount for him. He could easily get it. He nodded and said: "The deal is done, only three
One hundred taels of silver, but let’s be honest, this is a fixed price. No matter what happens later, you are not allowed to raise the price.” After saying that, he took out a silver note with a face value of fifty taels and stuffed it into a handful.
Gave it to Jiang Jue as a deposit.
"No problem, I still understand these rules." Jiang Juezhan smiled, put away the banknotes, and gestured towards the roadside, "This is not a place to do business. Let's find a restaurant first, sit down and talk slowly.
Then I’ll call some brothers over to introduce you to them.”
Lei Yong nodded, and out of caution, he walked ahead. He took Jiang Jue to a restaurant near the Taishan Sect's property, and talked there. If something happened, he could call someone to help.
During the banquet, Lei Yong discussed the specific details with Jiang Jue, and Jiang Jue came forward and called a group of friends. These people are all money-savvy people. As soon as they heard that there was money to be made, they all came over. There were enough.
There were seven people. Lei Yong glanced at these people and found that they all had deer heads and rat eyes, which were quite suitable for playing the role of bandits.
These people were not polite to Lei Yong and ordered a table full of wine and food. Because there were so many wine and food, some of them were even piled on top of each other like a stack of arhats. After the dinner was over, Lei Yong, the patron, had to pay for the meal.
.
The taker has short hands and the cannibal has a short mouth. Jiang Jue and others took the money and after eating, they actually did something for Lei Yong. These people took the guys with them that afternoon and left Tai'an Town with Lei Yong.
, arrived at the ancient road outside the town, and looked for suitable candidates. Seeing that these people were a little drunk, Lei Yong wanted to do it another day, but Jiang Jue and others refused, and even threatened that they were drunk.
The hero is brave.
There were too many pedestrians passing by on the main road, and it was too risky to take action, so everyone walked to a small road, which led to a mountain village. There were very few passers-by. It often took a stick of incense to see a group of passers-by.
.While walking on the road, everyone met some passers-by one after another, but they did not act in a hurry, but continued to move forward.
The group walked for a while, passing by a lonely wooden house, and then came to a corner of a path, with a large area of dense woods and grass next to it. Everyone felt that this was a good place to start, so they hid in it.
In order to prevent their faces from being seen and causing trouble, Jiang Jue and others covered their faces with various kinds of cloths. They were not good people to begin with, and after covering their faces, they all looked even more vicious.
.
Lei Yong led these fake bandits to wait and see, lurking in the grass and watching the passers-by on the road.
After a cup of tea, two people came from the opposite side of the road. One was an old woman with white hair, and the other was a jumping little girl. At first glance, they were grandfather and grandson.
Persimmons need to be picked on the soft side, and the grandfather and grandson are typical soft persimmons. They don't need so many people. Even if one person jumps up with a knife, they can be scared to death.
Jiang Jue's face showed excitement. He turned his head and stared closely at Lei Yong beside him. He raised his hand and pointed at the grandfather and grandson, asking for the latter's opinion.
Lei Yong glanced at the grandfather and grandson on the road. When he saw the old man and the young man, he immediately shook his head, unwilling to choose such a person to attack. The old lady was so old, if she scared someone, he would
The sin is huge.
Seeing that Lei Yong disagreed, Jiang Jue had no choice but to suppress it, retracted his neck, and lay back in the grass.
After the grandfather and grandson left, it didn't take long for another group of passers-by to arrive. They were a group of cartmen transporting goods. There were two carriages in total, and the carts were pulling goods. There were four carters in total.
Lei Yong felt that this group of people was quite suitable. He turned his head and pointed at the two carriages that were speeding towards Jiang Jue.
This time, it was Jiang Jue's turn to retreat. He took a closer look at the two carriages and found that the carriages were running very fast, and there were four people on them. If they really took action, it would be difficult for them to take them down.
These four people must be in trouble. He looked apologetic and shook his head slightly.
Lei Yong didn't push Jiang Jue, he patiently continued to wait for the next group of passers-by.
The wait lasted for half an hour. During this half hour, various passers-by passed by one after another, but they were all a bit inappropriate, either because there were too many people or because they had bad ideas.
Lying down in the grass is not a pleasant thing. After a long time, Jiang Jue and others became a little impatient. Especially those who were summoned temporarily were complaining.
Seeing that waiting is not an option, Jiang Jue pushed Lei Yong's arm and suggested: "Waiting like this is not an option. Brothers are tired of waiting. When we came, we passed by a wooden house and I saw someone there.
It's shaking. Someone must be living in it. The house is not big, so there probably aren't many people living in it. I think it's better to just go and rob that family, so we don't have to wait any longer.
What do you think?"
"Let me think about it." Lei Yong frowned slightly and thought about it for a moment. If he attacks local residents, there will be a lot of benefits. The locals are very familiar with the Taishan Sect. If they receive a favor from the Taishan Sect, they will definitely go to express their gratitude.
, this is better than attacking passers-by. Thinking of this, he nodded and agreed to Jiang Jue's proposal.
Jiang Jue licked his lips and gave orders to the mob around him. A group of people climbed up from the grass, dusted off the dirt on their bodies, and then returned along the original route to the roadside wooden house.
The two places were not far from each other, only a quarter of an hour later. Everyone found the wooden house. Jiang Jue and others were very brave, but they were not afraid of the stage. They all geared up, picked up the guy, and tiptoed towards it.
Entering the wooden house. Among this group of people, only Jiang Jue had some skills as a three-legged cat, and he got the most money, so he took the lead and walked at the front, holding the short knife he carried with him tightly in his hand. He walked
When I got to the door, I pulled it open slightly. There was no deadbolt on the door, so it opened immediately.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Jue immediately jumped into the house, waving the short knife in his hand wildly, and shouted: "Don't move, we are robbing!"
With a sound of landing, he looked inside the house and observed the situation inside.
This wooden house is not big, and there are very few people in it, only one person.
This man is a middle-aged man, tall and tall, dressed as a hunter, with his stocky chest exposed. He only has one right eye left, and his left eye is already blind. It seems that he was blinded by some kind of wild beast. Around the left eye
There were three clear scratches. These wounds were old, and the raised scars had turned flesh-colored. On the wall behind him, there were various hunting weapons hanging, including bows, arrows, steel forks, and various other weapons.
trap.
At this time, Orion was sitting on a chair, holding a handful of melon seeds in his hand, staring blankly at Jiang Jue who broke in. Apparently he did not expect that his home would be visited by robbers.
After Jiang Jue, other people also broke into the wooden house and stood behind Jiang Jue to strengthen the former's power. Probably because of a guilty conscience, one of them reached out and pulled the door shut.
"Hey! You stupid guy, why don't you hand over your family's belongings quickly? If you obey me, I can spare your life!" Jiang Jue waved his dagger and showed off his power.
"Are you robbers?" Orion was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Nonsense, isn't this obvious!" Jiang Jue shouted.
"It's interesting, it's really interesting. I didn't expect that I, Xue Laoliu, would be robbed one day." Orion, who calls himself Xue Laoliu, said.
"Stop talking nonsense, just like I said just now, hand over all your belongings obediently. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Haha, okay, since today's matter is so interesting, I won't argue with you." Xue Laoliu showed no fear on his face, but showed an expression of interest, and pointed to the side, "This room
Everything in it counts as the same, if you like something, feel free to take it."
"Hmph, you are smart, but we can't do anything with you sitting there. Move aside and squat in the corner so as not to get in the way," Jiang Jue ordered.
"Haha, that's not possible. I can give you all the things in this room, but asking me to squat in the corner is really wishful thinking." Xue Laoliu shook his head and said.
"Oh? You dare to resist?"
"You come to snatch my things, of course I have the right to resist."
"Since you are disobedient, don't blame us for being cruel." Jiang Jue waved his hand forward, "Brothers, come with me and teach him a lesson."
This group of people was so deeply involved in the drama that they really thought of themselves as robbers. They all responded with a bang, waving the crude weapons in their hands and about to attack.
Seeing this scene, the playful smile on Xue Laoliu's face gradually changed, turning into a stern sneer, and he said lightly: "This is really in line with the sentence, there is a road to heaven if you don't take it, there is no door to hell to break in."
." After saying that, he clenched his fists and stood up. His whole aura suddenly changed, like a tiger coming out of its cage, exuding a terrifying and dangerous aura. He took a slight step forward and retracted his fists.
On the right side of the abdomen, ready to go.
Jiang Jue lived in Tai'an County and had some discernment. When he saw Xue Laoliu opening his posture, he immediately concluded that the latter was a martial artist. He quickly reminded: "Brothers, be careful, this guy is..."
Before Jiang Jue could finish what he said, Xue Laoliu moved violently and punched Jiang Jue in the face. The punch hit him hard. Jiang Jue flew backwards and hit Jiang Jue hard.
The wall was knocked against the wall, shaking the entire wooden house three times. Looking at Jiang Jue's face, he was beaten and twisted. Several teeth fell out, and blood was vomited from his mouth.
This punch was so powerful that it actually killed Jiang Jue with one punch without any mercy!
Jiang Jueshi never thought that the hunter in this wooden house would be so tyrannical, and what was even more unexpected was that he would die here!
Xue Laoliu punched out, laughed twice, spun around, and rushed to the side of several other mobs. He punched with the left and the right. He killed them all without leaving a trace, and then switched moves.
The style is extremely crisp and neat.
In the blink of an eye, all eight of Jiang Jue's people died. They were all lying on the ground in a mess, with blood splattering everywhere.
"Well, it's easy to kill people, but it's troublesome to clean up the mess. I'm very busy today." Xue Laoliu looked at the corpses on the ground and said with a wry smile.
At this moment, the door of the wooden house was suddenly opened by someone, and then a tall figure jumped in and shouted: "Don't be afraid, Taishan disciple Lei Yong is here!"
This is really a good opening line, very suitable for heroes to use.
After finishing his words, Lei Yong fell to the ground, shook the sword in his hand, and glanced around the room with a stern look. After only a few glances, he was completely dumbfounded. His mouth was opened wide enough to stuff an egg, and his expression changed accordingly.
It became extremely exciting. The reason why he was surprised was that the situation in the house was completely different from what he expected. He thought that Jiang Jue and others had restrained the house owner at this time, and the house owner would be so scared that he knelt on the ground.
, shivering, never expecting that the real situation was that Jiang Jue and others were all dead, with only one person left standing in the house.
"This, this..." Lei Yong looked at the corpses on the ground, his legs were weak with fear, and his tongue was curled up. All the majestic lines he had thought of before were gone at this time.
"Are you from the Taishan Sect?" Xue Laoliu looked at Lei Yong and asked.
"Yes, yes, I heard a noise in this house and thought there was a thief here, so I came here to help. Now it seems that I have nothing to do here. Goodbye." Lei Yong laughed and took a step back.
.
"Wait a minute!" Xue Laoliu shouted loudly, which scared Lei Yong so much that he shrank his neck and did not dare to move.
"Is there anything else you need my help with, warrior?" Lei Yong asked tentatively.
"I don't need help, I just need to keep your life. You killed so many people when you met me, how can I let you go so easily."
"You are not killing people indiscriminately. They are all robbers. It is natural for you to kill them. If you are worried about getting into trouble, I can report it to the government for you. If you kill so many robbers, the government will definitely reward you. How about you follow
It’s okay if I go back to the Taishan sect. The Taishan sect will definitely treat knights like you with courtesy.”
"Haha, it's too troublesome to go to the government. I don't want to go to the Taishan sect. Besides, why do I feel that you and this group of people are a bit like a group?"
There were some muddy stains and green marks on grass leaves on Yong's clothes. Such marks were also found on those who died.
"No, no, no, I'm a dignified member of the Taishan sect, with a decent foundation. How could I collude with these bandits?" Lei Yong shook his head like a rattle and denied.
"What's wrong with the famous sects? Others don't know, but I know very well that those so-called famous sects are not very clean secretly. Just like the rivers and lakes are as deep as the sea, everyone is only half-measured."
"Bonus, my hero. Kudos." Lei Yong quickly clasped his fists with a look of admiration on his face, but he didn't even quarrel with the opponent. If Lei Ming saw his son acting like a coward next to him, he would be so angry that a volcano would erupt.
"This is not an opinion, this is a fact." Xue Laoliu said, raising his blood-stained fist, pinching it twice, and stepped forward step by step, "I have said everything I need to say, and I am going to take action."
"Don't do anything yet!" Lei Yong's face changed with fear. He held his sword across his chest and warned in a trembling voice, "I am the Thunderbolt Swordsman, one of the three swordsmen of Mount Tai. Lei Ming's son, if you hurt a hair on my head, my father will
I have to cut you into pieces!"
Hearing the name "Thunderbolt Swordsman" Lei Ming, Xue Laoliu was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously: "Are you Lei Ming's son?"
"That's right!"
"What do you have to prove?"
"This... there is no way to prove this kind of thing. In short, I didn't lie to you. I am indeed Lei Ming's son, so I advise you not to touch me." Lei Yong hesitated, but he really couldn't take it out.
something to prove.
Xue Laoliu looked at Lei Yong again, rolled his eyes, and said secretly: "If he is really Lei Ming's son, we can't just kill him, it's better to arrest him. The Taishan sect has a great cause,
If I can use him as a blackmail to extort some benefits, then I will make a lot of money. This matter is big or small. I'm afraid I can't do it alone, so I'd better discuss it with the brothers in the "Wuying Gang"
.”
Lei Yong saw Xue Laoliu's expression change, and he didn't know what he was planning. He took the opportunity to rush to the door, intending to escape from this dangerous place.
How could Xue Laoliu let Lei Yong, the cash cow, go away? He rioted again. He came from behind and blocked the door. He raised his big fist and hit Lei Yong in the face.
After all, Lei Yong was also a third-level heavenly martial artist, and his strength was unmatched by those dead people on the ground. Feeling that the evil wind in front of him was not good, he immediately turned his head to dodge, and used Cangsong Sword Technique, and pointed a sword at Xue Laoliu's chest. It was a pity that his
His strength was far inferior to that of Xue Laoliu. Although he successfully avoided the punch, the sword was a little slow. Before the sword could hit him, the failed fist suddenly swept over and hit him on the cheek.
.This punch only used 30% of the force, but it still smashed him to pieces. He fell to the ground on his back, and his vision gradually went dark.
Before he fell into coma, the last thing he saw was Xue Laoliu's scarred face and his blind left eye. (To be continued...)
