A knife in love

Chapter 1829

Li Qiufeng heard Liu Sheng Zongyan say this, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself that it is easy to destroy the thief in the mountain, and it is difficult to break the thief in the heart. He himself had heard his master say it before.Master said this sentence was said by Wang Yangming, a great Confucian during the Zhengde period. It means that it is not difficult to defeat the enemy's army and the thieves in the mountains, but the difficulty is to get rid of all kinds of greedy thoughts in the heart.According to the old thief Liu Sheng, there were more than a hundred bandits who attacked the Hanshan fishing village, and these people had been samurai before, so they wanted to learn some martial arts and also had experience in fighting on the battlefield.However, the old bandit Liu Sheng who had never learned martial arts could break a bandit's leg with one kick. Although senior Liu Zongyan gave advice, the martial arts of these bandits were really ordinary.There are almost seven to eight hundred villagers in Hanshan Fishing Village. If everyone is united, it is not difficult to drive away these more than 800 bandits.That's why Liu Zongyan said that it is easy to destroy the thieves in the mountains.It's just that after the bandit was wiped out, the villagers thought about exchanging the bandit's body for rewards from the government, but they were too greedy.These villagers also didn't think about it, the bandits were defeated and died because they fell into Liu Zongyan's tricks, and then there was internal strife, killing each other, and the whole army was wiped out.If the news spreads out, bandits from all over the place will come upon hearing the news, and Hanshan Fishing Village will never have a peaceful day.Even if Liu Zongyan tried his best to protect the villagers, it would not be easy to defeat all the bandits who attacked in the future.What's more, the government is greedy, and the villagers want to exchange the bandits' corpses for rewards, which is simply seeking skins from tigers.Although the villagers escaped unharmed, the greed in their hearts was enough to send them to hell.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard Liu Sheng Zongyan say: "Master Liu Zongyan glanced at the old man after he said this, and then said, boy, what do you think will happen to the villagers if they do this? The old man only knows after hearing what he said. When I was sleeping just now, Lord Liu Zongyan had already entered the house, thinking that the old man had already woken up, and then he mentioned that the villagers wanted to exchange the corpse of the bandit in exchange for rewards. The old man was sleeping, listening to Lord Liu Zongyan, and unexpectedly Interpreting his words into the dream, one will see all kinds of terrible situations in the dream. At this time, listening to Master Liu Zongyan's question, one's heart was horrified, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

"Sir Liu Zongyan saw the old man's astonished face, he couldn't even speak, he smiled, and said in his mouth, boy, if you hadn't gathered the villagers together that night and made them work together to deal with the bandits, even if I wanted to If you help, there will be countless deaths and injuries among the villagers. After this matter is over, they will definitely regard you as the leader. Boy, do you think that the corpses of these bandits should be sent to Seven Star Mountain City and exchanged for rewards from the government?

"The old man just came to his senses, shook his head hurriedly and said, this is absolutely impossible! Now bandits and bandits are everywhere. The people in our Hanshan fishing village were impoverished before, and the village is in a remote place. That's why we haven't been watched by robbers and bandits. On. And because the village is isolated by mountains, and the people are poor and helpless, the officials of the county government will not come to the Hanshan fishing village to collect more taxes on weekdays. Compared with the bandits, the officials are more terrifying. If we send more than a hundred The corpses of the bandits were sent to Qixing Mountain City. This matter will definitely cause a sensation in Fusang. If these bandits still have accomplices, how can they not come to revenge? What's more, Hanshan Fishing Village is famous because of this incident. The bandits and officials will think that if the village is not rich, How could bandits set their sights on Hanshan Fishing Village? When officials come to the village to extort money and food, thieves will flock to the village. I am afraid that Hanshan Fishing Village will never have peace.

"When the old man said this, he saw the expression of approval on Mr. Liu Zongyan's face, and he felt a little proud, and then said, although the villain has never been to Qixing Mountain City, I heard that all the officials, big and small, of the county guard's mansion They are all greedy people who eat people without spitting out their bones, otherwise the eldest son of the Wutian family would not be so arrogant and domineering. If we send the bandit's body, those officials will only take the credit for themselves and go to the daimyo Asking for rewards from the imperial court. It is not easy for us villagers to get a good result. If we want to get rewards from officials, it is simply a dream, and it can only bring disasters, so this is absolutely impossible!"

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, not only Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan, and Qi Jiu secretly praised him for his thoughtful thinking, no wonder he was able to make waves in the Central Plains, even Wang Xiaoyu, who had always hated Liu Sheng Zongyan, admired him a lot , thinking to himself, no wonder this old villain became the leader of the Yagyu clan, and even the treacherous Yagyu Tan Mamori and Morita Shinobu obeyed his orders.This old thief is highly skilled in martial arts and extremely resourceful. It is not an easy task to kill him.

When everyone was thinking about it, Liu Sheng Zongyan continued to say: "Master Liu Zongyan laughed after hearing what the old man said, and said, my good boy, I really didn't misunderstand you! Since you have such knowledge, I don't care about unnecessary nonsense. Stop talking. You have to immediately dissuade the villagers, and you must not take the corpse of the bandit out of Hanshan Fishing Village.

"When Mr. Liu Zongyan said this, he paused for a while, glanced at the old man, and then said, in your opinion, how should the corpses of these bandits be disposed of so as not to leave any trouble? The old man pondered for a moment, and said to Mr. Liu Zongyan, The villain has an unfeeling request, but I don't know if the adults can agree?

"As soon as the old man finished speaking, Master Liu Zongyan shook his head again and again, and said in his mouth, boy, don't try to trick me. I only have one bottle of corpse powder left. It's not difficult to dissolve a dozen corpses, but seaside bandits There are more than 100 corpses, and it is impossible to think about using corpse powder. If you want to cook more corpse powder, you need to collect 43 kinds of herbs, and you need to use sulfur and saltpeter. Hibiscus The land is small and things are thin, and these things can't be found at all. You have to think of another way to dispose of the corpse without leaving any traces.

"The old man didn't expect Mr. Liu Zongyan to see through his thoughts before he even spoke. He couldn't help but blushed and had to apologize repeatedly. Mr. Liu Zongyan didn't take it seriously, and still asked the old man what he had in mind, which made the old man very embarrassed."

When Liu Sheng Zongyan said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Master Li, if you and I are in a different place, I don't know what you can do to quietly dispose of the bandit's body?"

Before Li Qiufeng answered, Wang Xiaoyu rushed to say: "What's so difficult! Since the corpses of those bandits are piled up by the sea, why not just throw them into the sea and let the sea sweep them away. Wouldn't it be a one-and-done one without leaving any traces?"

After Wang Xiaoyu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Sheng Zongyan triumphantly.Liu Sheng Zongyan sneered, and said in his mouth: "Little girl, you have lived by the sea for more than ten years, and you don't know that the sea has tides, and if it recedes, it will return. If you throw the body into the sea, although it will be swept into the sea In the sea, but when the tide rises, the body may be sent back to the sea. Even if it is not sent back to Hanshan Fishing Village by the sea, it will be swept to other villages by the sea. And two hundred miles south of Hanshan Fishing Village, There is a huge port. If the body of the bandit is found by villagers in other villages by the sea, or if it drifts into the port, the government will definitely be alarmed, and things will get out of hand. Your idea is a bad one. If you follow the plan , must be bad luck."

Wang Xiaoyu was refuted by Liu Shengzongyan, blushed with anger, and said loudly: "Since you said that my idea is not good, I would like to hear what good idea you have!"
