I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 59 The Beginning of the Iron River Current

Among Li Erhu's group, his wife, children, young children, disabled and infirm people were pulled out, washed and changed, and after two full meals, Zhou Zifan came forward.

He used both soft and hard tactics to let the forty rough men see how his companions who were unable to fight were being treated, and then told them what would happen if they should have been sent to the government to deal with them.

Soon, Li Erhu and others took the initiative to declare that they would obey the orders of the martial arts school.

However, there is also something to be learned about robbing bandits.

It takes time to figure out how many enemies there are, how powerful they are, and how to find their hiding places.

After Su Hanshan captured Li Erhu and others, on the third day, he took these 40 people from home to the next county.

First, we inquired about the news, followed the robbed areas, and tried to find out the strength and traces of the bandits who committed the crime.

Then they began to search into the mountains.

After five or six days of dry food, prey, and water every day, Su Hanshan relied on his keenness to detect the strangeness in the mountains and forests, and gradually determined the hiding place of a group of bandits.

It was a cave, and the number of bandits in the cave should be about 30.

This group of people were very sophisticated and ruthless when they committed the crime, and they did it at noon, when it was the busiest time.

They chose two big restaurants and a pawn shop not far from each other, hacked all the guests and the host to death, and threw the bodies on the street, causing a riot. After grabbing a large amount of food and property, they used dry firewood from the kitchen. Charcoal, books, calligraphy and paintings from the pawn shop, etc. were set on two fires.

When the Yamen police officers arrived, they were eager to put out the fire. They only had a quick fight with the gangsters for a moment, and then they ran away.

Judging from the scale of the attack and the entire process of doing it, although this group of people has sufficient experience, their strength is not very strong.

Su Hanshan still erred on the side of caution. He waited until late at night, arrested two lookouts, and conducted a careful interrogation. He determined that among the bandits, only two leaders exceeded Qi Hai Xiaocheng's level.

After asking about the inside of the cave, it turned out that there was a road leading to the other side of the mountain, which was the entrance left by the bandits.

Su Hanshan immediately divided his troops and took ten people with him to enter from the road on the other side of the mountain.

Ask Li Erhu and his men to wait here. If they hear any movement inside, they can then rush in from this side.

Li Erhu waited for about three moments. When he heard the fighting and shouting inside, he immediately rushed in with his people.

This cave had not been selected by the bandits for a long time. The inside had only been hastily cleaned and there were not many traces of manual excavation.

There are only one or two torches stuck in the gaps between the rocks at intervals to illuminate the cave, but it does not appear dark.

When Li Erhu led his men to rush in, a dozen bandits were about to flee. When they saw the large number of people outside, they actually knelt down on the spot.

They threw away their weapons indiscriminately, begged for mercy incessantly, and kowtowed incessantly.

When Li Erhu was inquiring about the news in the county, he had heard about the ruthlessness of this group of bandits. Now seeing how frightened they were, he felt a little suspicious, so he had someone put knives on their necks and escort them inside.

The interior of the cave is very spacious, with straw and animal skins everywhere, as well as sets of tables and chairs.

But now, the remains of the food were scattered on the ground, the wine jars and bowls were broken, and the tables and chairs turned into piles of broken wood. The bodies of the gangsters were pressed on the wood, and the blood stained the large hay.

Some corpses had no heads, some had been chopped into two pieces, and some had bodies with translucent chests and wounds, which were obviously done by masters.

Li Erhu could even imagine that a figure suddenly rushed into the cave, the light of the sword flickering like lightning. Others only heard the sound of the sword flying and cutting off human bones. In an instant, the ground was covered with corpses.

No wonder the remaining dozen bandits were so frightened.

Perhaps, among the corpses that none of these looked like they could pass by, there was the leader of this group of bandits.

Li Erhu suddenly felt a little lucky. Fortunately, when Su Hanshan went to catch them, he didn't have a knife in his hand. Otherwise, I'm afraid...

That's not right. With Su Hanshan's martial arts, it doesn't make such a big difference whether he uses a knife or not.

What Li Erhu should really be thankful for is that the behavior of his group is quite different from the deeds of the bandits in the cave who were interrogated.

Su Hanshan stood deep in the cave holding a big knife, grabbed a handful of hay and was wiping the blood on the knife.

Next to this large cave, there are two small caves with narrow passages. There is no road out of the mountain in the small cave, but it is quite dry and is used by these bandits to store food and property.

Li Wuniu, nicknamed "Buffalo", was coming out of one of the small caves, very excited, with his black leather hat on his head.

"This food alone is enough for us to eat for more than 20 days, and it is the kind that can feed us three full meals a day. It also contains silver, copperware, lacquerware, and medicinal materials that look very precious at first sight."

He came over with a box in his hand, "Boss, this thing is placed on a stool alone. It looks most precious. Do you think this is the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng?"

Su Hanshan took a look and said: "Thousand-year-old ginseng is not so easy to find, but the old wild ginseng with this kind of appearance is considered to be of the highest quality."

Li Erhu came over: "Boss, there are more than a dozen prisoners captured over there."

Su Hanshan looked at those people. They were all in their 40s and [-]s and wearing good clothes.

Although not as good as the two leaders he hacked to death, he was obviously the backbone of this group of bandits.

"Kill it."

Su Hanshan gave the order, and Li Erhu was ready to take action.

Li Wuniu rolled his eyes at this moment and had an idea: "Boss, it would be a pity to kill this group of people."

Su Hanshan said in surprise: "What?"

Li Wuniu came to his side and whispered: "Boss, think about it, we have been searching for several days and spent so much effort to find such a group of bandits. If we kill them all, we don't know how long it will take to find them." ”

Li Erhu said: "But we are here to rob the bandits' things. If we keep these bandits, don't we have to give them more food rations?"

Li Wuniu smiled proudly: "Brother Erhu, you just don't know how to adapt. If the boss can take us in, why don't we also take in these bandits?"

"This group of people is experienced in robbing things. Let them continue robbing them and hand them over to us, so we don't have to work so hard."

Li Erhu still wanted to speak, but Su Hanshan raised his hand to stop him.

"Five bulls."

Su Hanshan smiled, "Then how do we control these bandits to come back? What if they run away after robbing things?"

Li Wuniu immediately said: "If they are really disobedient, they will at least have to rob one more time before they have the capital to escape. We can follow them. When they escape, we will kill them and collect the things they robbed. In this way, we can gain more harvests.”

"But if I were to convince them, I would still be sure to make them obey."

Li Wuniu patted his chest and said, "Following us and hanging out with the boss will obviously have a better future than following their previous boss."

"You are really smart."

Su Hanshan praised and narrowed his eyes. With his current face after disguise, he looked like a kind middle-aged man, "Then tell me, why don't I just take you to rob the house?" , we have to try to track down the bandits who committed the crime first, why waste so much effort?"

Li Wuniu glanced at the prisoners and lowered his voice again, showing a sense of intimacy.

"The boss will definitely not let us be bandits for the rest of our lives. We must have a better identity in the future."

"If we go to rob in person and act a lot, others will inevitably be familiar with our faces and figures. In the future, if we don't become bandits, we will be more exposed when walking around."

He analyzed confidently, "Let these habitual gangsters rob, and we harvest these habitual gangsters behind the scenes, and the risk of exposure will be much lower. If necessary, be ruthless and silence these people, and we will be safer." .”

"Ha, that's what I thought. It sounds really interconnected."

Su Hanshan still smiled, "Then if I am more cruel and silence you all afterwards, will I be safer? And can I monopolize the harvest during this period?"

Li Wuniu was stunned, his lips moved, and he forced a smile: "We, we are different from these bandits..." "Yes."

Su Hanshan lost the smile on his face and looked at him coldly, "I can accept you because you bandits don't look like bandits. But if you really become like those habitual bandits, what other reason do I have?" Leave you behind?"

As he spoke, he kicked his foot.

There was a bang, and a table leg flew out and penetrated the chest of a bandit.

Li Wuniu trembled all over, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Seeing that begging for mercy was in vain, the dozen or so gangsters got angry and wanted to fight back.

However, they had lost their weapons and were being guarded. This fight between trapped beasts was of no use at all. They were all quickly killed by Li Erhu and others.

"Before, I just made sure that you would follow me to do things. I have been running around with you these past few days and I haven't had a good chat with you yet."

Su Hanshankou spoke loudly, step by step, walked to the bandit leader's seat, turned around and looked at everyone, his rich voice seemed to produce a brief echo in the cave.

"Now it seems that I should emphasize something to you. First of all, let's make it clear that we have two purposes for going out this time."

He first raised a finger and said, "First, do some forced buying and selling business."

"It should be noted that the goods in this cave were not made by bandits, but were stolen by them. They belong to the suffering owners. We are not sages and heroes. We will not take the trouble to investigate and then return the goods to those suffering owners while they are still alive. relatives."

"But if you take the goods from the owner, even if you accept the order, you must at least help them kill their enemies. Only then can the business be done smoothly. This is the bottom line."

"second……"

The tip of Su Hanshan's knife touched the ground, his hands folded and pressed on the handle of the knife. His eyes focused on Li Wuniu and his voice seemed to have become three points lower.

"I don't like to hear the news that there are large groups of bandits committing crimes near my hometown. It makes me a little uneasy and uncomfortable."

"The bandits are numerous, and there must be some masters among them. With us, we can't eradicate all the bandits' dens, and I don't want my family to get into more trouble."

"So, we must cherish the time we have to use this identity as a gangster to kill as many as we can!"

"If we can defeat these villains who don't regard ordinary people as human beings, then we will never allow them to see the sun the next day!"

At the end of his words, his words became more serious, and the pool of blood on the ground next to the corpses of the gangsters seemed to be rippled.

Li Wuniu only felt that the sounds of these words were like beating drums, and each word was beating on his heart. Unknowingly, he was sweating profusely.

Everyone else also felt awe-inspiring in their hearts and nodded quickly in response.

Su Hanshan turned his head, scanned the crowd, and said in a slower voice: "You also have to think about the wives, daughters and families who have escaped with you all the way, lived and died, and are deeply affectionate. Now they can be regarded as the most important people in Xueling County. If you live in your own place, you are considered a resident here."

"When we get enough property and help you settle down, you will have more relatives and friends living here in the future."

"Those who are not married will get wives, those who are married will have children, and those who are not married will also have nephews and nieces. You will all have your own home, a new home, a good home, right here, just like all the local people. , praying for a peaceful and comfortable day."

"If near where they live, there are several groups of strange bandits wandering around every day who commit murder and commit violence and robbery, can you still feel relieved..."

His emotional voice and gentle tone made everyone think of such a scene in their minds.

My family and relatives were talking, picking vegetables, and doing laundry without knowing anything. But in the forest, bandits with steel knives and bared fangs were approaching.

Just thinking about it made everyone clenched their fists and tightened the knives in their hands.

"After thinking about this, I ask you again, do you want those beasts to die as early as possible, or do you want to take advantage of them and let them live again, giving them a chance to bring their own knives and With a heart that is used to killing ordinary people, is it close to your own family?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, but their hearts were filled with excitement.

Li Erhu raised his knife at the right time and shouted loudly: "Of course, kill them!"

"Yes, kill them!" "Kill them!" "Kill all these people!"

The crowd raised their steel knives high and shouted repeatedly.

Li Wuniu couldn't help but shout a few times, then lowered his head and said ashamedly: "I was wrong."

Su Hanshan caught this voice from the crowd's shouts, and his eyes stopped on Li Wuniu.

He didn't have the power to see through people's hearts, and he didn't know if Li Wuniu could really correct himself from a dangerous direction.

However, he is willing to wait and see.

Besides, after what happened today, someone will definitely have to discipline this old brother more carefully.

Su Hanshan's eyes suddenly changed.

Li Erhu seemed to be shouting, but he was actually looking at Su Hanshan and Li Wuniu nervously. Before he could take his eyes back, Su Hanshan caught him.

He was shocked when he heard Su Hanshan say: "Think about it, there is no rule without rules. Erhu, please extract a few rules from what I just said, and remind brothers from time to time, so as not to be misled by anything again." Thoughts creep in."

Li Erhu understood his intention, and then he felt relieved and quickly handed over his hand: "I understand, I will finish this matter as soon as possible and show it to the boss."

'Our new boss seems to be somewhat kind. '

Li Erhu felt a little unexplainably happy, and thought viciously, 'Buffalo, this bastard, should be taken care of! '

Su Hanshan looked at everyone's determined expressions and sighed secretly in his heart.

No one wants to be a good person. Well, the definition of the word itself is something that makes people feel comfortable and desirable.

Some people may think that it is easy for a person to become bad. If you do bad things, you will get worse and worse, but it is difficult to do good things.

But don’t you see, there are also people who have many evil thoughts in their hearts, but once they do good deeds and are recognized by the public, they cherish their feathers, know how to suppress their bad intentions, and gradually get better.

Su Hanshan really wants to be a completely upright and good person. Even if he wants to kill bandits, he can unite with his comrades and act calmly with his true colors, so that the suffering of the people can be redressed and compensated, instead of the current form of gangsterism.

But he can't yet.

People are always close and distant. The Songhe Martial Arts School is still surrounded by wolves, but it is only because of the second uncle's determination to gamble his life that he can temporarily find peace. This situation made him unexpectedly think of the method he used now. .

His senior brothers and sisters have all suffered serious injuries, whether physical or psychological, whether they can get better or not.

He hoped that his relatives would not fall into such hardship and torture again in the future.

Therefore, he must do everything possible to make his family stronger as soon as possible. He must have more manpower and deeper knowledge in the martial arts school. He must kill the unfinished enemies as soon as possible and eliminate the murderers nearby.

For this reason, he would even take the initiative to propose practices that he did not like, and would also show it to his relatives with a smile. He seemed to be complacent about the methods he used without any dissatisfaction.

However, there are at least some bottom lines that are absolutely, absolutely, unbreakable!

If even the bottom line is destroyed, maybe one day the people who hurt his relatives will be the people under his command.
