Chapter 61 Shihao County Official
The Bronze Sword Crazy Lion should be the leader of the group of bandits corresponding to the mark on the tree.
According to the brief description in the book, when he was in Shanyang County in the past, Tan Ying's group was collectively known as the Kuangshi Village, and they were well known for their bravery, bloodthirsty, and generous spending.
Su Hanshan also took out the Green Forest Manual from the bag behind his back, opened it to that page, held it up to the pine tree and checked it, and found that it was indeed correct.
Bandits generally come in and get rid of money quickly. According to the rules in some places in Shanyang County, bandits must also give money in exchange for enjoyment.
Among a group of bandits, they are all famous for being generous. You can imagine what the temperament of the bandits in Kuangshi Village is like. Even if they have not been in Xueling County for a long time, they have already done some big things.
Su Hanshan immediately asked everyone around him to disperse and look in different directions to see if there were any such signs around him.
Soon, a person heading northwest found similar traces.
Su Hanshan and the others followed this trace and noticed that these marks could basically be connected into a line. One end of the line pointed to Shihao County, and the other end pointed to the mountains to the north.
“This is too arrogant.”
Li Wuniu couldn't help but said, "This is directly marking his position."
Li Erhu shook his head and said: "Only those who know how to mark secrets can see the secret. Ordinary people can see these marks when passing by. , I can’t tell the difference.”
“No, according to the book, even the top bandits who usually leave secret marks will not have such obvious directionality, not to mention the Bronze Sword Crazy Lion. Say no The level of the top of the county."
Su Hanshan looked down at the scratches hidden at the roots of the tree and said, "Hidden marks like this should be left specially to guide people. If you have anything to do in the near future, it will be ruined afterwards."
As he said this, his ears twitched slightly, and he made a gesture to let everyone disperse and hide, while he picked the tallest tree around. , plunge into the canopy and look into the distance.
The little movement that had just been captured gradually became clearer, and Su Hanshan saw that the person coming was alone, wearing a robe and a black cloak.
Judging from the style and texture of his clothes, he looked like a scholar from a well-off family, but the boots on his feet caught Su Hanshan's attention.
Those are boots worn by county officials.
The experience of getting along with Wu Ning and others in the Ming Dynasty world gave Su Hanshan the habit of remembering the details of other people's clothing and style.
The civil servants, police officers, and officials in Cangshui County all have different looks, different body shapes, and different clothes. Only the styles of boots are basically the same.
It is said that the first reason is because the court has relevant regulations, and the second reason is because the Xueling County Sheriff’s family is engaged in various silk, embroidery, and boots businesses.
Therefore, in Xueling County, all the boots worn by government officials are basically purchased from the property of the county governor.
Su Hanshan's thoughts were spinning, and he quietly jumped down from the tree, returned to the marked pine tree, raised his head and touched the pine needles, selected a long one, pulled it out, held it in his mouth, and hugged it with both hands On the chest, leaning against the tree, humming a tune.
The man came closer, saw him, and looked at the mark on the tree.
Su Hanshan looked sideways and clearly caught his focus. Before the other party could open his mouth to test, he said first: "Tell me, what's the business?"
The man was supposed to say the code word for the connection, but he forgot it when he grabbed it, and said with a smile: "Why did the leader of your village let your brother wait here? It is too close to the official road, less than twenty miles away. "
Su Hanshan pretended to be impatient: "I am impatient to wait here. You have something to say."
He deliberately imitated Li Erhu's accent when he said these words. It's lifelike, but it's three points more fierce than Li Erhu.
The man quickly opened his hood, revealing a kind face in his thirties, and said: "Last time I asked the brothers to burn down East Third Street. It was done neatly, but the impact was not small. "
"Our Ouyang family is working hard to deal with the follow-up, and we are definitely not neglecting the brothers in Guizhai."
"No, the head of our family has seen that the limelight has been a little less recently, so he immediately sent me here, and pointed out a big fat sheep for the brothers in Guizhai. This time it is Shang Liangfang."
Su Hanshan raised an eyebrow. : "Shang Liangfang? Don't try to deceive us that Kuangshi Village is an outsider. Local people, we are very well-informed, that bone is not easy to crack.”
There are not many caravans coming and going in Shihao County, transportation is inconvenient, and there are no masters in the ladder realm, but the number of martial arts schools is small. On the contrary, there are more than Cangshui County, and the competition is very fierce.
But the status of those martial arts gym owners is far inferior to that of the five major gym owners in Cangshui County. In Shihao County, even the gym owners can be hired to look after homes and nursing homes. Su Hanshan once heard someone mention that in the Shangliangfang area, because the former magistrate of Shihao County lived there, there were many businesses nearby, and each of them must have hired a nursing home.
The man smiled and said: "It's still the same method as last time. Let's mobilize some people and you can take action and fight quickly."
"As long as people are killed and the house is burned, if the things grabbed are not enough, We will make up for it with a generous gift afterwards."
He took out a stack of portraits and said, "The one above. People must be killed, and others can be killed. It doesn't matter if there are a few fish that slip through the net."
Su Hanshan took the portrait and looked at it: "When will we do it?"
"The owner of the house means that the sooner the better, we can start tomorrow night."
The man added, "Of course, it still depends on what Boss Tan, the leader of your village, wants."
Su Hanshan snorted softly: "Our leader figured out a secret of swordsmanship this morning, and asked him to do it before evening Don't disturb me, I will report these things tonight."
"If so. If he doesn't agree, he will send someone to your house to set another time. If he agrees, he won't send someone there. "
The man nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay"
Su. Hanshan folded the portraits and put them in his arms, suddenly smiling strangely.
"After such a trip, you couldn't have brought so much waste paper with you."
He suddenly took action and hit the man's acupuncture points. He vaguely sensed an internal resistance on his fingertips and found that the man's His skill should be at the level of Qi Hai Xiaocheng.
Su Hanshan set his own power at a slightly higher level than the opponent. After hitting a few acupuncture points, he searched him directly. There were no pendants around his waist, but he took out a money bag and a piece of jewelry from his arms. Token.
The front of the token says Shihao County Government, and the back says Shu Zuo. This position is a minor official in the county government. It may seem unpopular, but the power is not small. Basically, it is held by local wealthy families. The people were responsible for assisting the county magistrate sent by the imperial court to govern the local area.
Official boots, family, and tokens, this person’s identity as a scholar is basically unmistakeable.
The man was shocked and angry, and his neck turned red.
Su Hanshan laughed, unblocked his acupuncture points, and threw the token back to him, but kept the money for himself, like a complete bandit.
"The weather is getting colder and colder. I am staying in this forest with no wine or meat. I must earn some hard money."
The man caught the token and stuffed it into his arms. , forced a smile and said: "Yes, brother is too impatient. In fact, this is just a few wine money to give to brother."
"Since the news has been spread, I will leave now. ”
Su Hanshan waved his hand: "I won't send it away."
The man cupped his hands, put on his hood, turned and left.
Behind him, Su Hanshan's smile had disappeared.
Recalling that he had carefully transcribed it and took the trouble to verify and compare it, Su Hanshan's face could not help but become gloomier.
After a while, Li Erhu and others gathered together again.
"Boss."
Li Erhu felt something was wrong with his expression, "Are we going to the city yet?"
"Go!"
Su Hanshan hummed in his nose. He made a voice and said calmly, "Of course I want to go."
