Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 13 Jinniu Ridge

Li Jing stopped Ma Wu and asked him questions, in fact, to understand his strength, and which hills fell grass. In ancient times, according to Li Jing's own understanding, the general robbers would occupy the hills. In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, the people could not eat enough Fan, there are too many robbers.

Moreover, according to Li Jing's plan, he can't be an official because he has no money and no way out. If he wants to be an official, it is as difficult as climbing the sky. If he is a bandit, he has no way to start. The best thing is to have some money In order to occupy a territory, cultivate talents and influence, Xu Tu developed.

But in this era, how could it be so easy to stealthily occupy territory?Now that Ma Wu happened to be there, Li Jing felt that there was some hope, and maybe he could take the sheep by hand, but he was worried that he had nowhere to hide!

At this time, after hearing Ma Wu's words, Li Jing felt that there was something interesting, and then asked, "Who is Boss Zhou?"

"Boss Zhou escaped from Shanxi a few years ago. He brought dozens of people with him when he came here, but now there are hundreds of people!" Ma Wu said quickly.

Li Jingjing nodded, then asked, "How did you become a bandit?"

Seeing that Li Jing couldn't stop asking, Ma Wu didn't dare to hide anything, so he said everything: "The young family was poor, and the family couldn't get rid of it in the past two years, so they went to Motianling to join Boss Zhou. After making a few votes, Boss Zhou saw Xiao’s cleverness, so he made obeisance to him. At that time, there were five sworn brothers, and the youngest was the youngest, so everyone called me Ma Wu. Later, our number of people increased, and Motianling couldn’t live there anymore. Boss Zhou asked us brothers to spread out with dozens of people. When we encountered small business, we did it alone, and when we encountered big business, we told Boss Zhou to work together with a few brothers..."

"You have been robbing for so many years, won't the government arrest you?" Li Jing asked.

"Take it, why don't you take it! But we are all local villagers, and we will donate to the poor in the village if we get benefits. If the officers and soldiers come to arrest us, the villagers will report to us. We have already run away when we got the information. Where can the officers and soldiers be found?" Ma Wu said proudly.

"You are clever." Li Jing asked suddenly: "You have done so many cases, and you have killed a lot of people, right?"

When Ma Wu heard this, he was startled and shook his hands constantly: "No! No! The little ones just want to have a way to survive, and they only want money and don't dare to kill people."

Li Jing sneered, and said, "I'm afraid not. I don't believe that you didn't kill anyone during the robbery."

"It's not that a person has never been killed before. If you encounter a master who is willing to sacrifice his life for his money, the brothers will also be ruthless."

Li Jingjing nodded, pondered for a while and said, "It's not a long-term solution for you to do this. I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of officers and soldiers sooner or later."

"It's not a big deal! The officers and soldiers came here many times and failed to find anyone, so they began to pretend to be merchants to deceive us. We were fooled once! That time the officers and soldiers dispatched nearly 100 people. Fortunately, they made too much noise. Our five brothers and hundreds of brothers were all dispatched. In the end, we lost more than [-] brothers before we beat the officers and soldiers away. After fighting there, we did not dare to do anything when we encountered merchants escorted by hundreds of people. We were afraid of the officers and soldiers. Fake. Big... big brother, what can you do to teach us?"

After Ma Wu finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

The question that should be asked is almost done, Li Jing said: "Turn around!"

After listening to Li Jing's words, Ma Wu turned around cautiously, saw that Li Jing had already put away the bow and arrow, and then relaxed his whole body, and said, "Brother, I was still wondering during the day, and you guys are looking to enter Weihui's mansion." Why did you turn around again? And you have already arrived in Qi County but you haven’t entered the city. At first I thought it was another fake officer and soldier, but then I realized it wasn’t an officer or soldier when I saw a woman get off the bus. In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that there were too many pedestrians during the day, it wouldn’t be good We don't have to wait until nighttime to start, my brother advised me to do it earlier! But I didn't expect that I would break ground on Tai Sui's head because I don't know Tai Sui, the little ones should die, the young ones should die!"

After hearing Ma Wu's words, Li Jing suddenly asked in a daze, "Wait, you just said that there are too many pedestrians during the day? Have you been following this convoy?"

"Yes! But I'm not following, we have people who specialize in ideas." Ma Wu said.

Li Jing patted his forehead suddenly, he always felt like he had missed something when he was resting just now.

It's not a problem for Li Jing to turn the Shen family's people around, the problem is that he ignored the fact that the Shen family's battle is too big.

Officers and soldiers would definitely have visited Shen's residence during the day, and after finding out that someone had gone to the empty building, they would definitely investigate in detail. How could it be possible that no one was left to guard the house with such a large family property?After a little inquiry, you will learn that the Shen family has fled to Kaifeng.

The officers and soldiers can't catch up with anyone in the direction of Kaifeng, so they will naturally send people around to inquire. It's hard not to be seen with such a large lineup of the Shen family. He would have guessed that the Shen family had turned around.

Thinking of this, Li Jing broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly stood up and said, "Ma Wu, tell your brothers to clean up this place immediately, and let's go together when I come back."

"Huh? Brother wants to go up the mountain with us?" Ma Wu was startled.

"Why? Don't want to?" Li Jing turned to look at Ma Wu and asked lightly.

"I am willing! I am willing! My elder brother is so brave, I wish my elder brother could go up the mountain and join the gang." Ma Wu said hastily.

"Ma Wu, you are a smart man, you better not make fun of your own life!" After Li Jing finished speaking, he went straight to the apse.

Looking at the back of Li Jing leaving, Ma Wu stood in place, his eyes changed a few times, and finally he clenched his fists and let out a breath suddenly, as if he had been defeated.

He couldn't understand Li Jing's words very well. It was to remind him not to play tricks, otherwise it would be easy for Li Jing to take his life. As Li Jing said, Ma Wu is a smart man. If the brother rushes in instantly and wants to betray him, Li Jing can't kill him with a single arrow!
With Li Jing's speed just now, if he wanted to kill Ma Wu in an instant, Ma Wu couldn't escape at all, and Li Jing's compound bow had already surpassed Ma Wu's common sense.

People are like this, they often have a deep fear in the bottom of their hearts while they are curious about things that they don't understand but are deadly!
In this case, he could only temporarily choose to listen to Li Jing's words. After all, now, following Li Jing's lead, he could still save his life!

When passing through the side hall, Li Jing said to Du Hu and the others: "Pack up your things quickly, I'm leaving soon."

"Huh? Where are you going in the middle of the night?" Dumb muttered.

"Stinky boy! What are you talking about? Hurry up and pack your things and load them into the car." Old man Chen patted Dug on the head and shouted.

Li Jing hurried to the back hall, Shen Zheng and others were comforting the family members, they were all taken aback when they saw Li Jing coming in.

The female relatives of a family like Shen's would not easily meet a man, so it was extremely rude for Li Jing to barge in so recklessly.

Li Jing couldn't care less at this moment, he came in and said, "Master Shen, pack up our things, we have to leave here as soon as possible."

"What... what happened? Where are we going in the middle of the night?" Shen Zheng asked puzzled.

"I'll explain it to you on the way. Right now, you should hurry up and arrange manpower, load those who should be loaded, take away those who should be taken away, and throw away some useless things. A few female relatives squeeze together to give a few carriages to the wounded. "Li Jing said repeatedly.

"This... this..." Shen Yi and Shen Qing looked at each other, not knowing why they were so anxious.

"What are you waiting for? Haven't arranged someone to do it yet?" Shen Zheng glanced at his two younger brothers and said in a deep voice.

After Shen Yi and Shen Qing went out, Shen Zheng rubbed his hands and asked, "I don't know why you are in such a hurry?"

Li Jing saw that the family members of the Shen family had started to move, so he recounted the loophole he discovered just now: "Master Shen, in my estimation, the officers and soldiers will not arrive tonight, but they will arrive early tomorrow morning. We have a lot of people and the traffic is slow, so we want to leave by then." It's too late."

"Then where are we going now?" Shen Zheng asked.

"Go up the mountain! Let's go to Ma Wu's land for a few days." Li Jing said with a smile.

"Isn't this going to the bandit's lair?" Shen Zheng said in shock.

"Master Shen, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will protect the Shen family well." Li Jing said solemnly.

Shen Zheng remembered Li Jing's mighty shot just now, and seeing Ma Wu's trembling look, he didn't have much doubt about Li Jing's words.

The family members of Shen's family and Ma Wu's subordinates acted together, and the efficiency was quite fast. After a while, everything that should be loaded was loaded into the car.

Ma Wu's subordinates and Shen's family members went in without knowing it, thinking that the Shen family had handed over the money.

But when they saw Ma Wu bowing his head behind Li Jing, they didn't look like they had succeeded.

Li Jing took a look and found that many of Ma Wu's subordinates and Shen Fu's family members were injured, and the few empty carriages might not be able to pull them down, so he said immediately: "Those with injured legs and feet will take the carriage, and the rest will go on their own."

Hearing Li Jing shout, those injured with intact legs and feet hurriedly got out of the car.

It was strange to say that Li Jing was issuing orders here, including Shen Zheng, and none of them thought it was inappropriate.

Seeing that everyone was ready to stop, Li Jing took Ma Wu, Du Hu and others to check from room to room, and left after seeing that there were no omissions.

When he got out of the yard and saw the dead horse, Li Jing stepped forward, pulled out the arrow that killed the horse, and wiped off the blood on the horse.

"Brother! Can we take this dead horse away? Brothers have not eaten meat for a while." Ma Wu ran over and said, licking his lips.

"Take it away! It must be taken away." Li Jing said.

"Okay!" Ma Wu responded, and hurriedly beckoned to his brother to carry the dead horse away.

"Brother Ma Wu." After everyone set off, Li Jing grabbed Ma Wudao.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Ma Wuyi hurriedly waved his hands and said.

"You are older than me, so I can call you a fifth brother." Li Jing smiled and continued: "You arrange a few people to clean up the traces here, especially the traces of the ruts, otherwise, the officers and soldiers will come after you Follow the car marks to find us!"

"Yes! I'll do it right away." Ma Wu said hurriedly.

Ma Wu and the others are usually entrenched on Jinniu Ridge, more than ten miles west of Xiaomazhuang...
