The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 131 Liu Qianjin and the Tu Alliance Leader

Laishui County is a remote and small county with few large households.

And because it is backed by the Taihang Mountains, there are especially many bandits.

As the saying goes, the gangster road is difficult. For these few wet work orders, the competition between gangs is very fierce.

Liu Bagou and his group are new to the mountain. Their work experience is completely blank. Logically speaking, they can only starve to death on the mountain.

Fortunately, Liu Bagou was a scholar and had been in "high society". He heard more about the wealthy families in the county and saw more than others.

He knows who has a grudge against whom.

He also understands the psychological activities of these big investors very well.

Relying on these advantages, Liu Bagou could still pick up two bowls of soup while other gangsters ate meat.

This was enough. This group of villagers who had lost everything were able to gain a foothold in Qifengkou, and Liu Bagou was unanimously elected as the boss because of his "outstanding" business ability.

And because Liu Bagou pays attention to integrity in his work - he will never chop off his feet if he says so, he will never increase prices midway, and he strictly abides by confidentiality agreements, etc.

Now he has gained a very powerful gangster name outside, called... "Liu Qianjin". (Master Liu keeps his word, and a thousand pieces of gold means a promise)

As soon as Liu Bagou came back, he learned that he had a new order. This was the Zhong family of Hongjia Village. The Zhong family hoped to let a villager named Hong Qi from the same village "live in the village for a while and suffer some hardships."

Liu Bagou didn't take it seriously after hearing this. It was just a small business, and the reward was only two dan of grain.

He asked the second master of the village, his second uncle, and said, "Second uncle, have all the brothers run out? Have any of them been lone and captured by soldiers and dogs?"

His second uncle shook his head, because there were not many people in their village, and the security was very long. By the time the officers and soldiers arrived at the door, they had almost all evacuated with their families.

There was just a lot of property damage.

"The food we brought out is only enough for half a month." His second uncle scolded with an angry face: "They say we are bandits, but these soldiers and dogs are the real bandits! Yesterday I went back to the (original) mountain gate to see However, there was not a trace of food and property left, and everything that could not be moved was burned and smashed... Even the dried dung balls stored in the stable in the back mountain were moved cleanly!"

……

Liu Bagou had been hiding and traveling hard for the past few days, so he went to bed very early in the evening.

In a daze, he dreamed of the past, and he dreamed that he was reading Song poetry to his wife at home. He finished reading Die Lianhua and then read Wu Lingchun, but the wife just sat in front of him and looked at him without making any response.

Liu Bagou was anxious and was about to call her name when he suddenly woke up from his dream...

"The boss! The boss!" Someone knocked on the door and called him.

Liu Bagou turned over and sat up.

"What's the matter?"

"Master, get up quickly, Tuqiuzi is coming up the mountain, and he has brought a lot of people with him!" Liu Bagou picked up his belt and went straight out. He saw the mountains outside were hazy, and the moon was still bright above his head.

He wondered: "Why is he here in the middle of the night? No one came to report the news before... Who is guarding Liangzi outside today? Have you asked clearly?" (Liangzi is a mountain road intersection. There are one beam and two roads. Liang, etc.)
He wasn't worried about the locals coming to play tricks on him. First of all, he had already been scratched by the officers and soldiers, and there really wasn't much to grab.

Secondly, Tuqiuuzi claims to be the chief helmsman and chief framer of the gangs in Qifengkou. If he takes advantage of the gangsters of his "own men", he will be completely shameless in this field in the future, even the little bosses under him. I am afraid that everyone will be in danger. (The leader is the leader, and the "general leader" means the leader of the alliance)
To snatch Liu Bagou from him would be like throwing away a watermelon in pursuit of sesame seeds. It’s not worth it!

Sure enough, the little guy replied: "I asked them, and they said they happened to be passing by. I heard that the government had burned three of their villages in succession, and Tuqiuzi wanted to take them into the mountains to go north. He also said that they were honest. No, just go to Shanxi..."

Liu Bagou felt bad after hearing this.

How could he go to Shanxi? How far is Shanxi?
Moreover, the Taihang Mountains are so steep and ferocious beasts often appear. How dangerous this road is!
Liu Bagou has always been very concerned about Tu Qiu Zi, not only for his health, but also for his growth.

Liu Bagou now hopes that as the leader of the alliance, he will become bigger and more stable.

When the time comes, the leader of the Tu alliance will ascend to the top and lead the small and large gangs in Qifengkou, as well as thousands of horse bandits hidden in ten miles and eight villages, to kill Xincheng and fight to the death with Fang Shenzi...

Defeat Fang Shenzi! Steal his gold and silver! Thinking about this scene makes people's blood boil.

Therefore, Tuqiuzi cannot go to Shanxi.

He had to stay at home. Qifengkou and Laishui County were his forever home... Liu Bagou's mind was spinning rapidly. When many fires gradually appeared outside the village, he whispered to the little guy next to him: "I'm going out to meet Tu Qiuzi. You hurry up and tell the second master to come to me later and bring him..."

Tu Qiuuzi led a large group of people to the mountain immediately. Liu Bagou not only did not strengthen the guard, but ordered the village gate to be opened wide.

As a result, the cottage that had been sleeping suddenly became lively.

The fire in the village was bright, and there were some small gang leaders (little leaders) shouting at the top of their lungs: "Go and boil some hot water! I have climbed such a long mountain road, and my feet are very tired!"

"I'm hungry, so I'd better hurry up and get some food first. What about you? It's like a stupid stake stuck there. Wait for me to help you light the stove, right?"

They were yelling at everyone they saw, and they didn't regard themselves as outsiders at all.

What's even more powerful is that they directly drive the original owner out of the newly built shack, throw himself in and fall asleep.

The people here in Kumuling are naturally very dissatisfied with this, but the boss has something to say: everyone is not allowed to complain, just be patient and it will be over in two days.

There is a large cave on the east side of the village, which is open to the wind. It has now been converted into a new "Xinyi Hall", and Liu Bagou, Tu Qiuzi and others are now sitting in it.

Tuqiuzi is already a bit old. Although he was carried up on the slider while sitting on the slider, his face still looked sluggish.

After the two sides had a small talk, Tu Qiuozi finally changed the subject and revealed his true purpose.

"Yang Wenyue is really evil. He won't leave until we are all driven away. Although his soldiers are useless and can't do anything to us, it's not like we are moving around like this. Method." (It is difficult for the bandits to know the high-level news that Yang Wenyue has actually left the Zijin Pass and is preparing to go to Henan)
Tu Qiu Zi put it rather euphemistically. In fact, because they had a large number of people and a large target (they occupied several hills), and because the leader of Tu Qiu was famous, the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed them with the greatest intensity.
