"How many people did you kill in Douchuan?" Yun Zheng asked this crucial question as soon as he saw Lai Ba.
"In the conscience of heaven and earth, I have not killed anyone, and I have not caused harm to any woman. I just took some linen and salt from Douchuan." Lai Ba asked this question as soon as he saw Yun Zheng, and his heart was immediately filled with doubts.
So he let it go. Even if he didn't kill anyone, God can testify for him. Those who caused trouble for women and killed people were those people in Yuanshan. They were robbers in the first place.
"That's good, that's good, Lai Ba, I finally saw the right person. These days, I'm always worried that you are also involved in massacring people and raping women. Once you get involved in these two things, you can't be called a human being."
.
I actually don’t object to killing people. Whether it’s for revenge or hatred, or even for robbery, there is always a reason for killing people. This can still make people think about it, but look at what you are doing in the city.
Most of the time, you are just killing people for the sake of killing people. Things that even wild animals would not do, you have done them all over again."
Facing Yunzheng's accusation, Lai Ba loudly defended himself: "No, I am a human being, and the mountain people living in the nearby mountains are also human beings. We originally wanted to scare that bastard county magistrate and let our people go. As long as we let go
If someone is killed, we will go back to the mountain immediately. Even if someone is killed, we will recognize it. Who said that we are refugees. Now we can do some transactions with the outside world. As long as there is no shortage of salt and other things, we plan to die of old age.
You can't come out in the mountains.
It was all done by Yuanshan Black Tiger and the others. The county magistrate had already agreed to release him, but Black Tiger and the others took advantage of the county magistrate’s opportunity to break through Doucha Pass, and then the rest happened. All I knew was to go to the prison.
, brought our people back, picked up some salt and cotton cloth along the way, and then we went out, without harming the women or killing anyone.
Just when we were leaving the city, we heard that the Wonsan Black Tiger was killed by an old Taoist, so we ran faster without looking back."
Yun Zheng sat down quietly, holding his chin with one hand and thinking to himself: I thought that everyone in the mountain people had a share in the killing, but I didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns. It is true that killing requires a certain amount of courage.
The last time I planned to murder Monk Wugou, I was in a bad mood. Although I stopped later, the nightmares continued one after another when I returned home. It does take courage to kill someone with a deadly hand.
Only those who have blood on their hands can do such cruel things. Without the fanatical induction caused by race and religion, it is impossible for ordinary people to do such things.
The purpose of Laihachi's visit is obvious, which is to restore this very difficult trade road. Only in this way can they live a good life in the mountains without any competition from the world, with no one collecting taxes and no labor.
The people in Yuanshan Mountain must die. This is the premise. Only by handing over the murderer will the people in Doushaguan forgive the nearby mountain people. In fact, many people understand the truth. The closer to the towns and villages, the kinder the people are.
The more remote a place is, the stronger the folk customs become. The region determines the folk customs!
Yuanshan is indeed very far away. It is more than 300 miles away from Dousha Village. Half of it is in the territory of the Tubo people and the other half is in the territory of the Song Dynasty. The Tubo Heishui tribe opposite is very fierce, so the thieves in Yuanshan generally do not dare to rob the Tubo people.
People's cattle and sheep can only pay attention to the cowardly Song people. The cruel character they have developed over the years was finally completely exposed in this civil uprising.
"Lai Ba, you yourself know that this riot has made everyone in Dousha Pass full of anger towards you. Anyone who dares to contact you at this time will probably be despised by everyone. Liu Du doesn't even dare to do so. He is now Dousha.
The county magistrate is here, and considering his past friendship, it is very rare that he did not invite the Yongxing Army to participate in the extermination of you."
Yun Zheng's words are reasonable and reasonable. You have hatred, and the people in Douchuan also have hatred. Just because they pity you, we cannot forget the tragic scene of blood flowing into the river when they killed Douchuan.
Lai Ba sighed deeply, cupped his hands at Yun Zheng and was about to leave. Yun Zheng picked up the salt bag from the bullock cart and threw it to Lai Ba and said, "Unless those thieves entrenched in Yuanshan are killed, you will never
There is no chance of any contact with people outside the mountain."
Lai Ba took the salt bag, shook his head and said: "We can't defeat the Yuansan people. They are very powerful and there are many people. It's all about fate. Just die in the mountains!"
Seeing that Lai Ba was about to leave again, Yun Zheng said with a smile: "You have lived in this mountain all year round, don't you have any contact with the Heishui people on the other side of the mountain?"
"Why should we contact them? They are poor and dirty. They have nothing but cattle and sheep. Sometimes they will exchange a little salt and meat with us. The bag of salt you gave me can be exchanged for a cow. Their cow
We can't cultivate the land, we can only milk cows and eat meat. We rely on the mountains and there is no shortage of meat, so we generally don't deal with them. Why do you ask this? They are fierce and poor. They have nothing good and are not worthy of your concern! "
After Lai Ba finished speaking, he looked at Yun Zheng in confusion, wondering why Yun Zheng asked about the Black Water Department of Tubo.
To say that they are a tribe is actually a bit exaggerated. They are just a group of herdsmen living in Blackwater. In order to compete with nature, they naturally chose to live in groups.
Hundreds of years ago, Songtsen Gampo unified Tubo, which gave Tubo a clear national concept. However, this concept changed as the Tubo people passed it down by word of mouth. After Master Padmasambhava entered Tubo,
His theory replaced the glory of Songtsen Gampo, allowing the entire Tubo regime to shift from secular power to the divine power.
The negative consequence is that the cohesion of the country has disappeared, everyone believes in Buddhism, and gradually forgets the concept of the country.
Yun Zheng loved this ignorant and brave nation to death.
Ignorance means being easy to deceive, bravery means being able to use it. Damn, two pounds of salt are exchanged for a cow. This would cause riots in Bianliang City, Tokyo. What does it mean that there is no shortage of meat? If there was no such thing as tofu in the Song Dynasty,
The stuff provides everyone with enough protein. Guys like Wu Dalang will be everywhere, and only fools like Lai Ba will think it is unprofitable.
In the Song Dynasty, slaughtering cattle was a serious crime. Even the emperor had little chance to eat much beef, so the heroes in many legendary stories always said, "Xiao Er, give me five kilograms of beef!" This is pure nonsense. You kill a cow.
Try it, and you will immediately be exiled a thousand miles with tattoos on your face.
When Lai Ba said that two kilograms of salt were exchanged for a cow, the delicious beef jerky immediately entered his mind. Thinking of beef jerky, the saliva in Yunzheng's mouth began to secrete continuously.
You must not do this. Trading two pounds of salt for a cow is detrimental to your personal ethics. God will not forgive such a shady profiteering, so Yun Zheng decided to increase the price to three pounds!
