This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 176
"So Xiao Lu, how are you going to teach me this martial art?"

"What, aren't you looking forward to this, haha."

"No!"

After Lu Hanjiang and Shang Luo rested overnight in the guardhouse in the city, they continued their journey to the south the next day. They probably didn't mention this matter much along the way, so it was the girl who became anxious first.

Both of them were sitting in the warm carriage at the moment, and a flag officer was in charge of driving. Lu Hanjiang could finally enjoy this trip comfortably and comfortably.

He leaned on the cushion, took out a stack of documents from the paper bag beside him, handed it to Shang Luo and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Shang Luo glanced at it roughly, and although she didn't understand the meaning of the above writing, she was familiar with the format of this document.

"A warrant issued by the imperial court?"

As a person from Jianghu, Shang Luo is naturally familiar with these things, not to mention, when he was in the south of the Yangtze River, he could always see a few wanted people with different portraits marked with rewards at the gate of the city every day.

"That's right," Lu Hanjiang found a copy from the wanted warrant, pointed to the big beard painted on it, and said, "This person's surname is Ma, and he gathered a group of people to occupy the Qinggan Mountain area, specializing in roadblocking and robbery." , On the road, it is called the head of the horse."

"Blocking the road. Isn't this a bandit?" It sounded like a bandit, but Shang Luo didn't notice anything wrong.

Lu Hanjiang also nodded and said, "Indeed, he is a typical bandit representative."

"Typical. What do you mean?" Shang Luo asked suspiciously.

"I love money, I like beautiful women, I admire force, I hate the court, and I am afraid of Jin Yiwei." Lu Hanjiang said.

"That's quite simple and easy to understand, um," Shang Luo recollected this sentence, then asked after a groan, "Xiao Lu, are you going to deal with bandits?"

"Of course not," Lu Hanjiang shook his head, and said, "This kind of thing is the responsibility of the local county magistrate. It's impossible for me to do it."

"If that's the case, then what does he have to do with us?" Shang Luo didn't quite understand Lu Hanjiang's intention of suddenly mentioning this bandit.

"Don't worry."

Lu Hanjiang put the arrest warrant of the big boss of the horse on the top of the stack of documents, and said calmly: "This person has been at large in the local area for many years, but the county has not sent anyone to deal with him."

"Why?" Shang Luo's eyes were full of doubts.

"Well, to put it simply, it's not worthwhile."

Lu Hanjiang spread his hands, and said helplessly: "This group of bandits is neither weak enough to be easily eliminated, nor strong enough to require the imperial court to send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them. Their power is just stuck at a level that makes the county magistrate very embarrassing. "

"What does this mean?" Shang Luo looked at Lu Hanjiang blankly and asked.

Lu Hanjiang explained: "To deal with bandits, generally speaking, you have to send someone from the county yourself, or ask for help. The local Ma county magistrate—well, don't get me wrong, he just happens to be named Ma, and this master Ma can drive The officers and soldiers of the army happened to be on the same level as these bandits, and he was not very courageous, so he never dared to do it himself."

Shang Luo frowned together, and said, "Then why don't he just ask for help?"

"This should be the case, but you have to know that in the area under your jurisdiction, there are bandits who are so powerful that they cannot be easily eliminated, which is in itself a manifestation of incompetence as an official."

Lu Hanjiang rested his hands on the back of his head, leaned back comfortably, and said, "And our Master Ma is a sycophant who knows how to curry favor with the superior. Naturally, the documents reported here are all about good news and not bad news, so let this group of hillbillies The thief has been at ease until today, and he has become a prominent figure in the green forest."

"So it is."

Shang Luo nodded in understanding, and then asked, "Then how did you know, Xiao Lu?"

"Of course Jin Yiwei found out," said Lu Hanjiang quite amusedly at this point: "At first, the people in the yamen thought that the Ma county magistrate was colluding with the bandits and raising the bandits, but it turned out that he was cowardly and incompetent, raising them for nothing. Big this bandit."

"So, in the end, you still need Xiao Lu to deal with these bandits?" Shang Luo said very depressedly, didn't she come back to the original point after a detour, what did she say wrong just now.

"No," Lu Hanjiang still shook his head, and he said, "How stupid this county magistrate is, how to punish him is something that the lords in the court care about. How powerful these bandits are, it is also the lords in the court to worry about killing them. All I have to do is take them as an experiment."

"What experiment?"

"Don't you believe that everyone in this world has a price tag? I'll prove it to you now."

Lu Hanjiang flicked the arrest warrant for the chief ma, and said, "Let's go and see the demeanor of this chief ma first, and then see what price we can buy some of his things, how about?"

"He's a bandit, won't he grab what he wants, or should you give money to Xiao Lu?" Shang Luo was not optimistic about Lu Hanjiang's idea.

Lu Hanjiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course it's not money. They're bandits numbering dozens. You see, I look like a rich man. Can I feed them all at once?"

"Well, it's not like, Xiao Lu, you are usually quite stingy." Shang Luo analyzed seriously.

The consequence of such an answer is naturally that Lu Hanjiang hit his forehead with a knife, and he pulled his face and said: "Speak too much."

"Obviously you asked me to say it." Shang Luo muttered aggrievedly.

A group of people continued to move forward, and they entered the boundary of Qinggan Mountain, where the mountains are high and densely forested, which is the most suitable place for bandits to attack, and they don't know whether it is good luck or bad luck, they just ran into a group of robbers Road.

call-

The flag officer driving the car reined in the horse rope and stopped the car. Shang Luo couldn't wait to poke her head out of the window to look out. Lu Hanjiang also observed the situation outside through the corner of the curtain.

The bad thing about this is that they ran into bandits robbing Dao, but the good thing is that the people who were robbed were not them, but another group of people.

About seven or eight uniformly dressed men armed with iron rods stood guard outside the two carriages. They were facing bandits who were several times their size.

In front of the first carriage, a middle-aged man with a Chinese face and a beard yelled softly, and smashed the iron rod in his hand to the ground with all his strength. The end of the iron rod sank three or four inches into the ground immediately. The bandit showed hesitation.

The man looked straight ahead from a distance, and said with a beard wearing a big black cotton waistcoat: "Boss Ma, although you Qingganshan is famous, my Zhenwei Escort is not easy to mess with, if you sell favors With me, let's stop here, how about you and my family making friends?"

"Hahaha," the strong man's rough laughter echoed in the mountains and forests, he pointed at the man with a simple knife in his hand, and said, "Boss Chen's words are right, then please leave the carriage and money and leave quickly. Ma will never embarrass you."

"Since that's the case, then I will dare to come and learn the martial arts of Chief Ma!"
