Chapter 159 Lust, Caution (4)
The muscles on Lin Surf's face trembled slightly, then he looked at her and smiled a little stiffly: "It's just a family scandal, what a heroic deed."

"Oh?" Qiu Yebai looked at Lin Surf, then acted a little surprised, and continued to ask: "How do you say?"

Lin Surf already hated that group of people very much in his heart, and this matter is not a very confidential matter among them, many villages have more or less heard about it.

He sighed, drank another glass of wine, smiled wryly, and spoke slowly.

"Piercing the sky, this time it is really piercing the sky!"

A group of young people in Qiongqi Village were originally just river workers who repaired the embankment. They couldn't bear the exploitation of the government, so they simply killed the leader of the supervisor.They hid in a pool of water and started robbing houses. Originally, they didn't have any real skills, so they could only rob some small merchant ships, and they couldn't pay much money on weekdays.

Naturally, he didn't take it seriously, but he didn't know when this Qiongqizhai secretly developed from a small village of [-] or [-] people to a big village of about [-] people under his nose, although the status was still low. , but a few days ago he just noticed something was wrong in Qiongqi Village, and before he had time to send people to check, he heard that they robbed the imperial merchant's ship and robbed the tribute, causing a big case!
At that time, he was so shocked that he was a little panicked. Even if he hijacked an ordinary official ship, it would be okay, but hijacking a royal tribute is by no means a trivial matter. I am afraid that the imperial court will send heavy troops to encircle and suppress all the villages on the canal.

What's more, the Mei family also gave them a lot of "protection money" for these villages on the Huainan Waterway every year, and now they let their boat have an accident here, isn't it a betrayal of faith!
After Lin Surf finished speaking, he couldn't help but sighed deeply again: "Speaking of which, Uncle Shi and I were too careless to cause such a major event, which almost caused a catastrophe."

The green forest and the underworld are said to be fighting against the imperial court, but although they are not the prosperous scene of the three founding generations, they are still barely peaceful. How can they really fight against the imperial court? To put it bluntly, they are just gangsters, not real of the rebel army.

Therefore, they are fighting against the local government and state government. Most of the people chasing them are the government servants and the guerrilla generals in the prefectures and counties. They are not the real regular army of the imperial court. The other party has the experience of attacking cities and pulling out villages, I am afraid that they will only have to destroy the villages and die, relying on their martial arts to escape quickly.

Qiu Yebai said comfortingly: "This matter has nothing to do with Uncle Shi, it's just a villain who caused trouble, it's just..."

She paused, and then continued: "When such a big event happened, it stands to reason that the imperial court would mobilize troops to encircle and suppress it, but why there is no news now, and I heard that the member of the criminal department who came to investigate the case a few days ago also drowned In the water, could it be Uncle Shi..."

"Of course not!" Lin Surf frowned, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Uncle Shi, although I am reckless, I still know that I can't act like this, and it's very strange to talk about it. , Their chiefs immediately came to me and complained, saying that they heard that a merchant was planning to ship Zhangyin Beishan to buy goods, but they didn’t know how they robbed the Mei family’s tribute ship.”

"Oh, what a coincidence?" Qiu Yebai narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked curiously: "Then whose money did they plan to rob?"

Lin Surf thought for a while and said, "It seems to be the Li family on the east coast."

When she heard this, she said casually: "The Li family, but the one that also deals in cloth?"

That's really a coincidence, tonight, no, didn't she stay at the Li family last night.

Lin Surf nodded: "Exactly."

Qiu Yebai picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Lin Shaofeng, sighed softly: "Uncle Shi, since Qiongqizhai has committed such a big case involving everyone, if we follow the rules of the road, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay. "

Before Lin Surfing could speak, the head of Shuigangzhai, who was drinking, a burly man known as Lao Zeng sneered: "Ge Lao Tzu, according to Lao Tzu's intention, let's clean up the house by ourselves, which is an explanation to the government. Forget it, how did you know that the second head of the Qiongqi Village is quite capable, and dared to make a promise that the government will never send people to encircle us, but if we do something on our own, then it will be a big disaster."

"Oh, he's so powerful, with a red mouth and white teeth, he dares to make such a package. Could it be that he still has some serious relationship with the government?" Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows, a little strangely.

Originally, this matter was too deep, it was an internal matter, and should not be reported by outsiders, but firstly, everyone present today drank a lot, secondly, this matter has been depressed in their hearts for a long time, and Qiu Ye Bai's status is special, and the status of Cangjiange is beyond the rivers and lakes. He abides by neutrality and will not and does not need to do things that endanger them.

So Lin Surf accepted Lao Zeng's words, frowned and said: "Just say that the second child in Qiongqizhai once saved the life of any general in the defense army, and begged that general to find a way to save their lives. Give it back to the government, just to make big things into small things, and small things into small things."

"Uncle Shi, you don't believe what they say?" Qiu Yebai snorted lightly, but his mind started to run at high speed.

Border guards?
It seems that Lin Surf doesn't seem to know which general it is. The border guards are actually involved in the small bandits in the inland.
The Empress Dowager, the Mei family, the Li family, and the local government and ceremonial inspectors who didn't want to really solve the case had such a strange attitude when walking in the yamen, and suddenly the border guards were involved... Everything seemed to be slowly unfolding in Qiu Yebai's mind It became a jumping thread, as if something was vaguely about to come out, but I couldn't catch the beginning and the end.

At this time, Lin Surf continued: "Of course not, it's just that the second head of Qiongqizhai gave us the wealth and life of the whole village to let us wait a bit. According to common sense, if the royal merchant ship is robbed, the court must be furious, at least it will Within three days, they will issue an official document on arrests at sea or an appeal to suppress them, and then dispatch troops and generals to search and arrest them separately. They are betting that the government will not make such a move within three days."

Qiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, this Qiongqi village dared to put all its eggs in one bet!
But then she sneered inwardly again, that's right, if they are confident about this matter, this bet can be taken!

"Thinking they won the bet, the second head of this Qiongqi village is a bold and powerful character!" Qiu Yebai said with a half-smile.

If the gamble was right, then they later guaranteed that the imperial court would not have a large army to force them to be strangled. Naturally, they can prove it slowly and keep the village from then on.

Lin Surf frowned slightly, obviously he didn't like this person very much, Lao Zeng also snorted coldly: "Damn it, that Shu guy is not a good guy, he looks so sinister!"
