Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 62

The man smiled and said: "I heard these sergeants say that Grandma Wang owed even more money in Daming Mansion and Tokyo. Some people said that if he didn't pay back the money, he would have his hands and feet chopped off. Everyone said he was forced to pay. It was because of the debt that I couldn’t do it, so I took the initiative to come here to escort the birthday party.”

"Liang Zhongshu was afraid that Li Hu would have an affair with bandits, but he didn't know that Grandma Wang would want to steal the money even more than Li Hu did."

Sun Xin frowned slightly, so Grandpa Wang also had the motive of robbery.

The man went on to explain why Li Hu and the others were arresting people here. Sure enough, as Sun Xin guessed, Li Hu and his boat were tampered with in the upper reaches.Li Hu was afraid of being robbed by people on both sides of the strait, so he didn't dare to stop the boat and force himself here.

At that time, the boat was already half-sunk, and when Li Hu knew that he could not leave, he still had a small boat under his command. He immediately asked people to row a boat upstream to block the river, and then ordered more than 20 soldiers under his command to rescue the birthday party that was about to sink into the water. Gang forced himself to hide in the cave on the bank of the river, and then went back and beat all the sunken ships into planks and floated along the river, so that no one could find out where they sank.

Then a dozen people were sent to the downstream counties to report the letter.

Following the direction of the man's finger, Sun Xin saw the cave not far from the cliff at a glance. There was a stream in the cave, and the treasures were hidden behind the stream. There were more than a dozen large boxes piled up. into a pile.

After thinking about it, Sun Xin understood the reason for Li Hu's arrangement:
If you want to carry that huge pile of treasure out of such a dense forest, you must have more than a dozen people, and the speed of walking will be very slow.

If Li Hu and the others wanted to carry these treasures to the next location, the time it took to go through this forest would have missed Cai Jing's birthday, so they could only choose to let the downstream send a boat up.

And Li Hu hid these treasures here very secretly: even if the robbers searched along the river bank, they probably couldn't find where they hid the treasure now.

As for why Li Hu only left seven people here, it was to prove his innocence, because although the seven people could barely move the treasure away, they must not be far away, not to mention that they belonged to different camps, and the seven people had to unite It's hard to do things together.

In the co-authored team, everyone is suspicious of each other... But Sun Xin thinks about it, the boat suddenly sank while walking, although it may be the reason why the previous boat was tampered with, but whoever let it go And can you not suspect that there is an insider in your team?
Sun Xin sat on the ground and took a deep breath. If this treasure was handled in the same way in the Water Margin world, there is only one way to rob these birthday cards: a spy happened to touch here, found the treasure, and then Pass out the information that the treasure is here.

Otherwise, in such a large forest, those robbers would not be able to find where the treasure was hidden.

But Li Hu also understood this, so he and the soldiers who stayed here were capturing all the people who might find these treasures near the cave.

This is almost foolproof, and those bandits may not find it here even if they search for a year.

But how did these treasures in Water Margin be robbed?
Just when Sun Xin was full of doubts, he heard another burst of voices in the distance. When he looked up, he saw Li Hu pressing two more people up.

Both of them were dressed very plainly, one was a middle-aged man with a strong body, and beside him was a child who was only ten years old, with a limp foot and a gauze wrapped around his right leg.

The man was pushed forward by a soldier, and he said aggrievedly: "We are passing guests, what are you arresting us for?"

Li Hu sneered: "Passing guests? Just walk through this wild forest?"

The kid was quite irritable, and said, "My dad and I are going to Hebei by boat, but some wicked person blocked the river on the way, and the boatman didn't want to go west, so we can only walk along the river bank. If you don't go from here, where will you go?"

When he said that the wicked blocked the river, Wang Naigong couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, and looked at Li Hu mockingly.

Li Hu's face was also a little ugly, "We are sergeants from the Daming Mansion, and we have official duties." He asked the man, "What do you father and son do?"

When the man heard that they were sergeants, he was a little in awe, and quickly replied honestly: "My name is Ma Cheng, and this is my son Ma Yier. My father and son went out to rent out land for others and lost their money. Now they are going back to Hebei to join relatives." go."

Li Hu glanced at Ma Yier's leg and suddenly asked, "Is your leg really hurt?"

"Is it real or fake?"

The little kid suddenly cried out, but it was Li Hu who kicked his injured leg, and the blood on the leg immediately flowed out, and Ma Yier cursed, so anxious that Ma Cheng hurried up to protect him own son.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Li Hu nodded: "It really hurts."

The man smiled next to Sun Xin's ear and said, "Look, there is another one with a broken leg. I think Li Hu will be happy if we are all lame."

Sun Xin asked, "Why?"

The man pointed to the cave where the box was hidden in the distance: "There are only two ways to go out here."

"One way is to go down from the cliff on our side. Li Hu led the soldiers to defend, and no one can escape from here."

"One is the main road that goes out from the creek under the cave. This is also the road they took to carry the birthday card up. The road is wide and long, and it is difficult to guard against it. It would be very easy to go out, but if you want to go out from there to spread the news, you have to run along the river bank for an incense stick of time before you can get outside, and the river bank is rugged and rocky, if a person with a leg injury gives him the best skills Can't run out either."

Sun Xin took a closer look at the nearby terrain, and couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that Li Hu was really thoughtful, as long as he was blocked on the cliff, he could guard against the enemies coming down from the mountain, and he could also control the surrounding situation. It was impossible to get the message out from under his nose.

At this time, Li Hu was also tired from walking, so he went to sit by the fire to eat with a displeased face, and looked at the man irritably and said, "Why are you so talkative? You Zhou Tong, I don't think you are all right Thing, when I was picking the boatman, I thought it was harsh for you to have the nickname of a little bully, maybe this boat was sunk by you!"

Sun Xin was taken aback.

Little Overlord Zhou Tong?
He never expected that another person from Liangshan was sitting next to him, and the matter was even more complicated.

He quickly calculated in his mind.

In the book, Zhou Tong appeared a few years later, when he became the second head of Taohua Mountain in Qingzhou, but the book did not say when he fell into the grass.

So at this time, Zhou Tong has already become a bandit's internal response, or is he really a boat runner?Was he the one who notified the bandits?

Zhou Tongdao: "Li Hu, don't spout blood. Although I am taller, I am a kind person. How can there be any collusion with bandits? Wang Naigong, you should talk about him."

Grandma Wang sat down on the rock beside her, hammered her lame leg and said, "What did I say? Alas, those soldiers said that the boats would be overtaken from the counties below within five days, and now it's over. Two days, but we can go west after waiting for two more days, so it’s better to end soon.”

"Why do my legs and feet hurt again? How can I survive in this barren mountain?"

As he said, he looked up at the dark clouds that were getting thicker and thicker in the sky: "I think tonight, I'm afraid the sky will change,"
