I'm the one running the game

"You thief, if you dare to help this rich and unkind old man today, you will dare to bring disaster to the village tomorrow."

"Today I will first eliminate harm for the people!" The leader, the Flipping Tiger Cui Yi, roared when he saw Lu Xingshi saving a guard he was about to kill.

Lu Xingshi looked unhappy. How could you, a robber, call him a thief in return? And you dared to call yourself a thief for killing people without knowing right or wrong. This was indeed a bit insulting.

He had just finished shouting when he saw a huge figure standing up behind Lu Xingshi.

When Cui Yi looked over carefully, it turned out to be a big bear. He had heard the second in command who was undercover in Xujiazhuang as a coach say that there was a strange man who was good at taming animals in this village. Now it seemed that this man was the one in front of him.

"Chop off your head first and see if you, a bear, can still listen to you." Cui Yi's eyes were wide open, and he chopped towards Lu Xingshi's neck with a knife.

However, Zhu Yan easily blocked it with an iron rod.

Zhu Yan was too small, and it was dark, so Cui Yi naturally couldn't see clearly.

After being blocked, Cui Yi was also frightened. He was thinking about saying something, but Wangcai had already taken action, and his big bear slapped the head of this tiger.

After a slap, the head collapsed directly into the chest.

This bloody scene was reflected in the eyes of other bandits, and they cried and screamed, throwing away their weapons and fleeing.

They were originally a group of bullies who were afraid of the strong and the weak. Do they really think they are heroes with great righteousness? If they really have such qualities, how could they become bandits and make a name for themselves in any industry.

Looking back, the Zhuangzi coach was holding a long knife in his hand, which was placed on Xu Taigong's neck. He was also frightened by this scene.

"You... let me go, and give me another thousand, no, ten thousand taels of silver, and I will let Xu Taigong go." The coach hurriedly said, and also made a request.

He had a hostage in his hand, so he naturally had to make the most of it.

"I can let you go, but I don't have any money." Lu Xingshi spread his hands, and even if he had money, he wouldn't give it to the other party, and then added: "You want 10,000 taels, and only Xu Taigong in Xujiazhuang can give it. If you catch him, who will give you the money?"

"I don't care, if you can't do it, I'll kill him." The coach didn't care about these, he was not stupid, if Xu Taigong let him go, he would definitely die.

"Then you kill him." Lu Xingshi saw that the other party could put aside the reality when making unreasonable demands, so Lu Xingshi didn't talk about it.

"Anyway, I'm just a passerby, even if Xu Taigong died, it wouldn't affect me."

"It's you, it might not be easy." Lu Xingshi said jokingly.

The coach was desperate. He thought Lu Xingshi could only tame beasts, but he didn't expect that the two beasts on the other side were so strong that even the famous tiger couldn't stand a slap from the bear.

He was far inferior to the other side, and the possibility of death would be great.

"One thousand taels, I only want one thousand taels, if you give it to me, I will release Xu Taigong." The coach lowered his demands.

Lu Xingshi continued to shake his head: "Let alone one thousand taels, even if I have to take out ten taels of silver, I don't have it on me."

"Either release Xu Taigong and leave by yourself."

"Or we will all die together." Lu Xingshi said that he was never threatened.

"You!!!" The coach was angry. Why don't you give in to soft or hard tactics? If you compromise, this matter will be settled.

As a result, he was ridiculed and embarrassed, which was simply unreasonable.

The coach was so angry that his attention shifted from Xu Taigong to Lu Xingshi. Just as he was about to say something, his eyebrows exploded in an instant, and something red and white splashed all over Xu Taigong.

Lu Xingshi took advantage of the other party's attention diversion and threw a stone to kill him.

Xu Taigong was also scared out of his wits. He had been pampered for so many years, and he must not be used to this situation suddenly.

Fortunately, he recovered quickly. After all, he was a man who had seen big scenes in the past. Even though he retired, he still had some psychological quality.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving me. If it weren't for you, my Xujiazhuang would have been wiped out by this group of thieves today." After washing the stains on his face and changing into clean clothes, Xu Taigong came to thank Lu Xingshi.

"Xu Taigong is too polite. I should do something to be entertained by Xu Taigong today." Lu Xingshi said politely, and then asked, "What is the origin of this thief? He is so arrogant and dares to attack Xujiazhuang."

"A group of strong men, since..." Xu Taigong also introduced the situation of the heroes of the Daqing Dynasty to Lu Xingshi.

After listening to this, Lu Xingshi's face was also very exciting.

There is indeed no Jianghu in this secret realm, but there is something like the Green Forest, commonly known as the Green Forest Heroes.

There are mountain bandits on the mountain, water bandits on the water, and robbers on the roadside. It can be said to be an era of great bandits.

These heroes, under the slogans of "doing justice for the heavens" and "robbing the rich to help the poor", have committed all kinds of arson, murder and looting, forming a black and evil force.

"This... won't the court suppress it?" Lu Xingshi complained.

Let alone other things, this has become a disaster, why does the court just watch.

"Alas, in recent years, the treacherous officials in the court have deceived the officials..." Xu Taigong sighed. Anyway, the emperor was not wrong, but was deceived by the treacherous officials under his command.

Lu Xingshi actually guessed that Jin Yun Tianshi used the national destiny of the Daqing Dynasty to cleanse the devilish nature of the devil star, so this must come at a price.

Such unnatural things should have been undertaken by Tianshi Jinyun. Normally, he would not have been able to wait until it was completed. He died in the process of training and could not reach the current level.

Therefore, the backlash was borne by the Daqing Dynasty, which led to bandits everywhere, occupying mountains and forests, and doing illegal things with all kinds of righteousness.

You can't want benefits and not want to take responsibility at the same time. How can there be such a good thing?

If this kind of thing really happens, I'm afraid it will be even worse. Free is always the most expensive.

"It's not that the imperial court is inactive, it's just that after several failed attempts to suppress bandits, no one is willing to lead troops to eliminate banditry in various places."

"This has caused these bandits to become more and more arrogant." Xu Taigong said with embarrassment.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he understood somewhat. He had just killed a group of arrogant bandits with his front feet, but another stubble grew on his heels.

If you don't pay attention and go back, then when the latest information comes and you find that the attack was not clean, you will come back and claim credit. This will become a lie about military merit.

Even if it is verified that this new bandit is a later one, why are you in such a hurry to come back?

This makes it difficult to take credit, but easy to take the blame.

In fact, there is another very important point, that is, why are there so many bandits?

You must know that bandits will definitely not be born out of thin air.

This means that the bottom class must not be able to survive, otherwise someone will turn into a bandit and engage in this kind of beheading business.

Even if the demonic nature of the demon star wants to influence it, there must be a major prerequisite.

If the world is peaceful and the people are happy, no matter how powerful the demonic nature is, it can only dissipate alone.

It is precisely because of the environment that allowed it to take root and thrive that this became the era of great banditry.

"So, who are the famous bandits in this world?" Lu Xingshi asked.

The Heaven-turning thieves headed by Sky-turning Tiger have an arrogant name, but in fact they can only be regarded as low-level Green Forest.

"There should be three groups of bandits in the world, namely the Qingyun bandits, the Sanjiang bandits and the Black Mountain bandits. Among them, the Black Mountain bandits are entrenched in the Black Mountain area. The imperial court has conquered them no less than ten times, but they have been defeated every time."

"The Qingyun thief came and went without a trace. The imperial court was robbed of property dozens of times without a trace."

"The Sanjiang bandits occupy the main waterway of Sanjiang Water Palace, and water transportation from all over the country must be respected."

"In addition to these three groups, there are others such as..." Xu Taigong's expression was full of sorrow and anger, and he obviously hated the Daqing Dynasty.

Lu Xingshi listened attentively, and it wasn't until the sky turned slightly white that Taigong Xu finally finished speaking.

‘It’s interesting. Daqing Dynasty seems to be a smaller version of Dasong? ’ Lu Xingshi thought about this.

The current situation in Dasong is actually similar, except that compared to Dasong, which has entered a stage of war and chaos, although bandits are rampant in the Daqing Dynasty, the overall situation is always controlled by the court, and there are even means to turn the tables.

But now this comeback method is gone, and it has been blown up by Lu Xingshi.

"It's getting late. Mr. Xu, please go and have a rest. I have something important to do, so I'll go ahead." Lu Xingshi stood up and cupped his hands, indicating that he was leaving at dawn.

"Why are you so eager, little friend Lu? Why don't you stay for two more days and I'll entertain you." Taigong Xu didn't expect that Lu Xingshi was leaving.

After all, he was a lifesaver, so I felt uneasy leaving him like this.

"No, no, I have something urgent to do." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

How can we continue to stay like this? Maybe a wanted order will come in an hour or two.

It would be very awkward to meet again then.

So before it gets completely bright, of course I should leave early to avoid embarrassment.

"I see that Mr. Lu is in a tight situation. If you don't give up..." Xu Taigong said, a maid came up with a tray covered with red cloth. When he remembered, there was one hundred taels of silver on it: "I have a tattoo of one hundred taels of silver." , can be used as a package.”

"Then I'm not polite. It's really difficult to go out without money." Lu Xingshi accepted it without any politeness.

One hundred taels is already a lot.

It may not seem like much in a martial arts novel, but converted into modern measurement units, it's ten pounds.

"If you have nowhere to go, Xiaoyou Lu can go to Shenjing. I still have some dignity in Shenjing." Taigong Xu gave another instruction.

"If you really can't survive, you must think of Taigong Xu's words." Lu Xingshi did not refuse.

The other party didn't know the situation, but he had good intentions. There was no need to refute the other party's words in person.

Seeing that Lu Xingshi left so decisively, Xu Taigong felt regretful that he could not keep such a strange man as Lu Xingshi to serve him and Zhuangzi.
