I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Chapter 61 Shihao County Official
The Bronze Sword Mad Lion should be the leader of the group of bandits corresponding to the mark on the tree.

According to the brief description in the book, when he was in Shanyang County in the past, Tan Ying's group was collectively known as the Kuangshi Village, and they were widely known for their bravery, bloodthirsty, and generous spending.

Su Hanshan also took out the Green Forest Manual from the bag behind his back, opened it to that page, held it up to the pine tree and checked it, and found that it was indeed correct.

Bandits generally come in and get rid of money quickly. According to the rules in some places in Shanyang County, bandits must also give money in exchange for enjoyment.

Among a group of bandits, they are all famous for being generous. You can imagine what the temperament of the bandits in Kuangshi Village is like. Even if they have not been in Xueling County for a long time, they have already done some big things.

Su Hanshan immediately asked everyone around him to disperse and look in different directions to see if there were any such signs around him.

Soon, a person heading northwest found similar traces.

Su Hanshan and the others followed this trace and found that these marks could basically be connected into a line. One end of the line pointed to Shihao County, and the other end pointed to the mountains to the north.

"It's too arrogant."

Li Wuniu couldn't help but said, "This is directly marking his position."

Li Erhu shook his head and said: "Only those who know secret codes can see the secret. Ordinary people can't tell the difference even if they see these traces when passing by."

"No, according to the book, even the top bandits who usually leave hidden marks will not have such obvious direction. What's more, the Bronze Sword Crazy Lion is not at the top level of the county."

Su Hanshan looked down at the scratches hidden at the roots of the tree and said, "Secret notes like this should be left specially to guide people. If there is something to be done in the near future, they will be destroyed afterwards."

As he said this, his ears twitched slightly, and he made a gesture to tell everyone to disperse and hide. He picked the tallest tree in the surrounding area, threw himself into the canopy, and looked into the distance.

The little movement that had just been captured gradually became clearer, and Su Hanshan saw that the visitor was alone, wearing a robe and a black cloak.

Judging from the style and texture of his clothes, he looked like a scholar from a well-off family, but the boots on his feet caught Su Hanshan's attention.

Those are boots worn only by county officials.

The experience of getting along with Wu Ning and others in the Ming Dynasty world gave Su Hanshan the habit of remembering the details of other people's clothing and style.

The clerks, police officers, and officials in Cangshui County all have different looks, different body shapes, and different clothes. Only the boots are basically the same style.

It is said that the first reason is because of the relevant regulations of the court, and the second reason is because the Xueling County Sheriff's family is engaged in various silk, embroidery, and boots businesses.

Therefore, in Xueling County, all the boots worn by government officials are basically purchased from the property of the county governor.

Su Hanshan's thoughts were spinning, and he quietly jumped down from the tree, returned to the marked pine tree, raised his head and touched the pine needles, selected a long one, pulled it out, held it in his mouth, folded his hands around his chest, and leaned against the tree. Go up and hum a tune.

The man came closer, saw him, and looked at the mark on the tree.

Su Hanshan glanced sideways and clearly caught his focus. Before the other party could open his mouth to test, he said first, "Tell me, what's the business?"

The man was supposed to say the code word for the connection, but he forgot it when he grabbed it, and said with a smile: "Why did the leader of your village let your brother wait here? It is too close to the official road, less than twenty miles away. "

Su Hanshan pretended to be impatient: "I'm impatient to wait here either. You have something to say."

His words deliberately imitated Li Erhu's accent, and he imitated it perfectly, but he was even more fierce than Li Erhu.

The man quickly lifted his hood, revealing a friendly face in his 30s, and said: "Last time, I asked the brothers to burn down Dongsan Street. It was done neatly, but the impact was not small."

"Our Ouyang family is currently working hard to deal with the follow-up. We are definitely not neglecting the brothers in Guizhai."

"No, our family leader has seen that the limelight has been a little less recently, so he immediately sent me here, and pointed out a big fat sheep for the brothers in Guizhai. This time it is Shang Liangfang."

Su Hanshan raised an eyebrow: "Shang Liangfang? Don't try to deceive us as Kuangshi Village is from outside. We are also very well-informed. That bone is not easy to chew."

There are not many caravans coming and going in Shihao County, the transportation is inconvenient, and there are no masters at the ladder level. However, the number of martial arts schools is more than that in Cangshui County, and the competition is very fierce.

It's just that the status of those martial arts gym owners is far inferior to that of the five major gym owners in Cangshui County. In Shihao County, even the gym owners can be hired to look after homes and nursing homes.Su Hanshan once heard someone mention that in the Shangliangfang area, because the former magistrate of Shihao County lived there, there were many businesses nearby, and each of them must have hired a nursing home.

The man smiled and said: "It's the same method as last time. Let's mobilize some people and you can take action and win the battle quickly."

"As long as someone is killed and the house is burned down, if the things stolen are not enough, we will make up for it with a generous gift afterwards."

He took out a stack of portraits and said, "The people here must be killed, and others who can be killed will be killed. It doesn't matter if there are a few fish that slip through the net."

Su Hanshan took the portrait and looked at it: "When will we do it?"

"The owner of the house means that the sooner the better, we can start tomorrow night."

The man added, "Of course, it still depends on what Boss Tan, the leader of your village, wants."

Su Hanshan snorted softly: "Our leader figured out a secret of swordsmanship this morning, and asked not to disturb him until evening. I will report these things in the evening."

"If he doesn't agree, he will send someone to your house to set another time. If he agrees, he won't send anyone there."

The man nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

Su Hanshan folded the portraits, put them in his arms, and suddenly smiled strangely.

“You’re going on such a trip, you’re not going to bring this much waste paper with you.”

He suddenly took action and hit the man's acupuncture point. He vaguely sensed an internal resistance on his fingertips and found that this man's skill should be at the level of Qi Hai Xiaocheng.

Su Hanshan controlled his skill to a slightly higher level than the opponent. After tapping a few acupuncture points, he searched him directly. There were no pendants around his waist, but he took out a money bag and a token from his arms.

The front of the token says Shihao County Government, and the back says Shu Zuo. This position is a minor official in the county government. It may seem unpopular, but it has great power. It is basically held by people from local wealthy families, assisting the court. The county magistrate was sent to govern the local area.

Official boots, family, and tokens, this person's identity as a secretary is basically unmistakeable.

The man was shocked and angry, and his neck turned red.

Su Hanshan laughed, unblocked his acupuncture points, and threw the token back to him, but kept the money for himself, like a bandit.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. I am staying in the woods with no food or wine. I must earn some hard money."

The man caught the token, stuffed it into his arms, and said with a forced smile: "That's right, brother is a little too impatient. In fact, this is just some wine money that I want to give to brother."

"Now that the news has arrived, I'm leaving now."

Su Hanshan waved his hand: "I won't send it away."

The man cupped his hands, put on his hood, turned and left.

Behind him, Su Hanshan's smile had disappeared.

Su Hanshan's face became even more gloomy when he remembered that he had carefully transcribed it and took the trouble to verify and compare it. There should have been a copy of the Green Forest Secret Notes that would be sent to Shihao County Government.

After a while, Li Erhu and others gathered again.

"Boss."

Li Erhu felt something was wrong with his expression, "Are we going to the city yet?"

"go!"

Su Hanshan hummed in his nose and said calmly, "Of course I want to go."
