Indiana Jones

Chapter 205 Prisoner Squad (10)

The history of Shenxingmen can be traced back to the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was precarious and bandits were everywhere, and the common people were in dire straits. All kinds of loose organizations, gangs, bandits and robbers were everywhere. In a Hujia Village in Shanxi Resisting the harassment of bandits, they spontaneously organized group training, organized young and middle-aged men in the village to train and fight against the bandits who came to loot, because they were protecting their own family and knew the consequences of bandits entering the village. The seemingly inconspicuous rural militia team is not afraid of death, but it can keep one side peaceful, and it has gained some fame over time. The reputation of the ten miles and eight villages is quite high, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger. The surrounding villages and towns are willing to pay some money. The protection fee asked them to provide protection, so that their team became bigger and bigger, and their reputation became more and more famous. They also specially invited Teacher Wu to train this group of village braves, but the good times didn't last long because Li Zicheng called over soon. No matter how strong the fighting power of Xiangyong is, he is no match for Li Zicheng's tens of thousands of black armor troops. Only eight people escaped from the whole team. , I thought I could avoid the chaos of war and live a peaceful life, but it didn't take long to catch up with Zhang Xianzhong and Tu Chuan, and the eight people who had just settled down suffered another disaster.

This time, only three of them escaped, and the three of them lived in the deep mountains. They finally survived the hardships they experienced during the period. During the time in the mountains, they accidentally discovered an ancient tomb. They don’t know the specific dynasty, but They found a lot of good things inside. Of course they don’t understand antiques and jade, but they still recognize gold, silver and jewelry. They hid in the mountains for a few years and dared not come out until the world has stabilized a bit. The world of the Qing Dynasty came to an end. The three of them bought houses and land with gold and silver in their arms, and soon became a rich man. After experiencing the war, they were extremely insecure. Then they decided to organize their own armed forces again. With ambitious experience, they were not so ostentatious this time. Everything was done in secret. They each recruited bodyguards to protect the courtyard and trained their own private armed forces.

The descendants of these three people are more martial arts, and their skills are not bad. The younger three don't know what is contentment and happiness like their father. After taking over the family business, the younger three used their staff and power to set up an escort agency. Yuan Escort, the predecessor of Shenxingmen, Shun Yuan Escort was already very famous in Sichuan, Gansu, and Shaanxi during the Kangxi period, and all three provinces have their semicolons. In the world, with the passage of time, the Shunyuan Escort has also grown bigger and bigger, and its business has become wider and wider. During the Jiajing period, it has become quite influential in both government and business. Compared with when the Shunyuan Escort was first established, they are now more Extensive contact with all walks of life in the arena. Before, they just dealt with each other, but now they are directly involved. It was also at this time that Hu Wanli, the head of the Escort Bureau, secretly created Shenxingmen, in order to protect some of their shady friends in the arena. People's business, and at this time the focus of their activities has shifted from the Sichuan-Shanxi region to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They colluded with the government to take all black and white, but they have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the official uniform. It is said that during their heyday, there were Nearly ten thousand people.

However, things are impermanent, and the prosperous Shenxingmen completely fell when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom came. The powerful Shenxingmen invested huge manpower and material resources in order to protect their own industries to assist the Qing army to wipe out the Taiping Army, but in the end there were heavy casualties. In the world, most of Shenxingmen's property was destroyed, and they were forced to go to Huguang in the end, but their strength was not as good as before. During the years of war and chaos, they continued to walk darts when they were young. Later, the escort agency was disbanded, and Shenxingmen completely became a world. It is really unpredictable that all their ancestors did was to avoid being robbed, but now their descendants are doing this, it is really ridiculous.

Everyone listened patiently to the woodcutter telling about the origin of Shenxingmen. This old guy is quite good at telling stories. It would be a pity not to tell stories, Zhang Shoucheng thought in his heart.

"Then what do they have now?" Guo Zhongxiao asked.

"Now..." the woodcutter sighed, "I can't tell what they are doing. They killed the Japanese and the national army. They don't recognize their relatives. As long as they think you are in the way, they will kill you directly."

"So arrogant? Then what are they doing now?" Zhao Chenggong asked, he listened to the old guy's story with relish.

"I don't know. There were rumors in the Jianghu that the Shenxingmen was incorporated by the military, and some people said that they were completely wiped out, but they always show their faces in the Jianghu Mountains from time to time to confirm that they are still there. I just didn't expect to meet them. , really..." The woodcutter shook his head.

"We didn't provoke them, we don't know them, let alone enmity." Si Xuanyi frowned, "Maybe they just came to ask for money, but they just jumped into the wrong room." Speaking of this, he glanced at Lin Feng, and then He sat there with a blank expression on his face.

"Seeking money", this word is really good, he actually described stealing as asking for money, which is appropriate and a bit polite.

"It's possible!" The woodcutter thought for a moment and felt that what Si Xuanyi said made sense.

"Then it's fine." Guo Zhongxiao yawned, "Then go back to sleep."

"It's all right? It won't be that easy. These people will definitely come again, and they won't admit it." The woodcutter sneered, "Besides, are you really sure they're just here to 'seek money'?"

"Come on, come on, who are we afraid of? I don't believe they dare to provoke us." Guo Zhongxiao didn't think this was a problem. They were not ordinary people. Although they didn't know what was going on in Section [-], they They vaguely knew that they had something to do with the military command.

The woodcutter smiled wryly, sighed and shook his head lightly, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Guo Zhongxiao was a little puzzled: "What's the matter? Do they really dare to compete with us official people?"

Li Siming snorted: "Although we are not easy to mess with, they also have to know who I am? You newcomers can't figure out what organization you belong to, can they figure it out so easily? Besides, what kind of officials are we?" People on the face? It’s too late to hide your identity, do you want to give you a loudspeaker to announce it?”
