The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 110 Send officials to act as bandits, wait for the net

After saying goodbye to Han Cunbao, Ergou repacked his luggage, put on the frame, and asked the innkeeper to call a middleman, and asked the official documents in the state government to help fill in the merchant's name, and paid a sum of money for tea , then drove away from the inn, out of Huazhou City, and headed south along the main road.

It is said that when Ergou was checking out with the innkeeper, he overheard a joke saying that the wild man who was staying in the hotel broke his leg when he got up at night. He didn't know how he fell. His ribs were more broken, and his legs and buttocks were even more injured. The flesh and blood were bloody, and he was really unlucky.

The two dogs just smiled at this, but left some money on the counter for the board and lodging of the wild man while recuperating.

Didn't the two dogs not know that the wild man must have committed a thief at night, but Sande Donkey and Dog Laifu were too cruel (hooves? mouth?), and injured the man a little too seriously.

This season is the most prosperous period in the history of the Song Dynasty. The avenue from Huazhou to Baima and Weicheng crosses the floating bridge of the Deling River in the middle.

Ergou was driving a mule cart, followed by a horse, a donkey, and a dog. Although the combination was a little weird and eye-catching, few people came to disturb him, let alone the bandits blocking the road. An illusion of peace and tranquility.

Only at night, when the two dogs open their eyes, they can see countless monsters sharpening their teeth, claws, and sharpening their knives behind the mist, waiting for someone to relax their vigilance and open the door to hunt and feast on their own.

When crossing the pontoon bridge of the Linghe River, there is a commissioner who pays a fee near the river, three renminbi for people crossing the bridge, five renminbi for livestock, and ten renminbi for horse-drawn carriages.

He waited to see that Ergou was a small and lonely person, and he was about to blackmail him secretly. Ergou spent several times the amount of copper money to cross the river.

It can be regarded as Ergou's luck, if he lived another ten years, not to mention the several times the river crossing fee, even if Ergou's carriage, horses and luggage were confiscated, he would have nothing to do with it.

The officer took Ergou a string of Xiaoping money (a serious string of money is 770 Wen, Song Yiguan only has 77 Wen, so the string of money should be [-] Wen), but gave him back ten iron money, only to coax Er Gou to be young ignorance.

It turns out that those who collect the toll for crossing the river generally charge more iron money. If someone has to pay with Xiaoping money, the person only needs one penny, the livestock three, and the carriage and horse five. But he said convincingly, you young man, don't look at us for charging too much, but we have not deceived you, otherwise how can we give you back the change? !
Ergou crossed the river, sat in the carriage, weighed the iron money in his hand, but there was a sneer on his face.

The right way is that people don't hurt the tiger's will, and the tiger hurts the heart.

Ergou threaded the iron coins through hemp thread and hung them on the rear of the carriage, all the way to the outside of Deweicheng County.

Ergou did not drive into the city, but chose a sheltered place in the outskirts of the city to stop.

At night, Ergou sat in front of the bonfire with his Liquan gun in his hand, closed his eyes and rested his mind. It was midnight, and the iron coins strung together made a tinkling sound when there was no wind.

Suddenly, a strange black shadow of a monster emerged from the iron coin. It fell to the ground and was about to pounce on the two dogs not far away, but it was stuck in place and could not escape.

It turned out that Er Gou sprinkled a circle of salt with blessed salt essence on the iron coin. How could this monster be so weak that it couldn't break through the circle and could only be trapped inside.

Ergou stood up with his gun, smiled coldly at the monster, stabbed it with a single shot, and smashed it into a mass of useless ashes. After mixing with the salt essence, a little mist rose up, but it disappeared completely. Got evil.

And the string of iron coins also rusted and weathered, and finally turned into a pool of useless rust.

Ergou shoveled away the rust and threw it into the bonfire, letting it burn to drive away evil spirits.

At the middle of the night, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves coming from the north. The two dogs listened carefully, and estimated that there were about five or six horses.

He led the Sande donkey and got on the donkey with a gun, and drove the donkey towards the direction where the sound of the horse's hooves came from.

Qin asked why the two dogs were riding donkeys, but it was because the three virtue donkeys had a new ability. They could run silently in a short period of time, which made it convenient for the two dogs to make a surprise attack at night.

At this time, it was difficult to see three feet in the night, and five people came here on horseback, each carrying a simple knife and stick, and holding a torch in one hand.He was inferior to waiting for horses, and it was also dark. Although there was a torch shining on him, he couldn't see far, so he could only trot all the way.

Suddenly a cold wind blew by, but the few people in front felt something strange. They turned around to look around, but there was no movement. They just felt that someone was missing from their house.

He waited and counted the heads, only to see that there were fewer horses, but one more horse.

Several people were shocked at once, each held up their knives, guns and sticks and looked around, but there was nothing to be seen, and when some of them came to their senses, one of them suddenly raised his gun and stabbed the other four people under the horse just in the middle of Xumi .

The man who raised the gun and stabbed raised the torch, which reflected his appearance, but it was Ergou.

Er Gou only sneered at the fallen people and said: "In the daytime, you charge me too much for the bridge toll, and now I will also charge you some property and horses, just to send you to wait to cross the Naihe Bridge!"

It turned out that the two leaders of these thieves were actually the servants who collected bridge tolls on the Linghe River Floating Bridge during the day. When he saw the two dogs driving alone with a carriage, a horse and a donkey, he naturally became greedy. Because there were so many people on the road during the day, it was hard to take action, so he devised vicious means to chase him at night.

Immediately, Ergou stripped the clothes of several people, picked up the knives and sticks, threw the corpses into the surrounding woods and buried them, and collected the horses' clothes and other things in exchange for money.

Weicheng is a small county, and Er Gou left the carriage and other vehicles in the forest outside the city, and San De Donkey and Gou Laifu took care of them.He packed some sundries by himself, rode another bad horse, took one empty, and went straight to the county seat.

Entering Dena County, Ergou went to the pawnshop for the miscellaneous goods and went to the cattle and horse market to sell the two inferior horses at a low price, but he also got a hundred and ten coins.

Some people may ask, isn't Ergou afraid of being tracked down by selling stolen goods so openly?

He really wasn't afraid of anyone coming to investigate, but he had to chase back those who stood up for those evil thieves.

Just because these few people made the evil iron money a method of evil worship, but these five people were not evil, this also means that there is one or a group of evil spirits hiding behind them, that is, Ergou Yin. Hurrying on his way, he has no intention to investigate, otherwise he will never let it go.

But not to pursue the investigation does not mean that Ergou can't play the trick of leading a snake out of its hole.

He deliberately leaked his possessions and openly sold the stolen goods of the thieves, just to leave some loopholes for those evil spirits, so that they can be lured to do harm.

So Ergou came out of Weicheng County, took a carriage and drove all the way to Changyuan County, but he took a lot of horses along the way, and many pedestrians and travelers talked to him on the way, but Ergou sold the remaining horses on the way. The three bad horses he got off got more than 140 taels of silver.

It was not that no one thought about the hissing beast on the road, Er Gou only smiled and responded: "I dare to sell, you really dare to buy? How can such a good horse be spotted by traffickers and pawns?"

It is true that there are people who are not afraid of death, a large family happened to pass by, and their slaves saw it hot-eyed, and gave way sharply: "You little brother, don't underestimate people! But if you dare to sell, I will dare to buy it! There is a lot of your money left and right, just ask the price!"

Er Gou saw his arrogance, but he was not angry, he just said: "My BMW is worth thousands of gold, I don't want silver and copper, I'm afraid you can't afford it!"

That Hao Nu is a smart man, but he just sneered and said: "Hugh is so talkative, you have to give me a real price! Your horse is only good-looking, let alone a thousand dollars, half of it is not worth it!"

The two parties negotiated and finally settled the deal at 300 taels of gold. After he delivered the gold and the horses, the eyes of others looking at Ergou became strange.

And the big family got the hissing wind beast, but also found that the horse was really fierce and unruly, no one could ride it, so it could only be offered as a uncle.

After waiting for a group of people to reach Changyuan County, the two dogs only chased the big family to the house, but when asked by others, he just said he was sorry for the steed and wanted to spend more time with it.

The family didn't care too much about themselves, of course he was even more greedy for the 300 taels of gold that he had just cut to Ergou, and was thinking about how to get it back without capital, but Ergou was so close, but it fell right into their arms.
