When the bandit leader came over, he naturally listened to what the military advisor said. If he cared a little bit about it at the beginning, now he didn't want to be polite to the other party anymore.
The bandit leader was a straightforward person. Although he felt that there was no good intention in what the military advisor said, he could not hear the twists and turns in it.
So as soon as he came over, he said to the general, "Don't worry, although I am a rough man and do many dirty things! But I have always respected generals like you who protect the homeland and the country, so in front of you I am I won’t tell a single lie.”
After saying this, he immediately swore to the sky, "And if I tell a lie, I will be struck by thunder! Five thunders will strike me! I will not die a good death!"
Although the general did not believe in this oath, these bandits believed in it very much. Therefore, if they were allowed to make such a heavy oath, the possibility of adulteration in their words would be reduced by 50%. .
The general then just said, "Stop swearing just to make an oath, tell me about your relationship with this scholar, right?"
Facing the general's question, the bandit immediately said, "He and I were partners in the beginning. He brought a group of scholars to our place for us at the foot of the mountain, and then we robbed those scholars! We Usually it’s one-nine points, one for him and nine for us.”
After hearing this, the general did not immediately refute the bandit's words. Instead, he just continued to ask with interest, "How many orders have you made so far in this kind of business?"
After hearing the general's question, the bandit began to think seriously about how many times he had done such a thing.
At the same time, the scholar immediately refuted loudly, "You are just a slanderer! It is an insult to gentlemen!"
Facing the scholar's refutation, the bandit leader felt as if the other party started buzzing in his ears when he was not thinking clearly.
So at that moment, he just said with great dissatisfaction, "Can you say a few words less? I'm just whitewashing you by spouting blood. You've done all the things you've done, and you're still afraid of being criticized? You want to If you bother me again, I'll give you all the rest."
Hearing the bandit leader's words, the scholar's face immediately turned pale. He knew that he could not stop the bandit leader from saying a few words, so he immediately approached the general and said, "Sir! He is a slanderer! I... how could I possibly Doing such immoral things, if I do such things, how can I get the honors?"
"Besides, wouldn't it be insulting to be polite to let someone do such a ridiculous thing?"
However, facing the scholar's words, the general's face looked very peaceful.
"That's not the case. Such an unheard-of thing just opened my eyes. Even if it's just a story, I don't mind hearing it to the end."
At this moment, the bandit leader didn't know whether he was really thinking about it or pretending to think about it. As soon as he heard this key point, the bandit leader immediately interrupted and said, "Sir, I didn't make up a story. What I said was everything." It’s true. If you don’t believe it, I can swear it..."
As soon as he heard that the bandit was about to swear again, the general immediately stopped him and said, "It's not necessary to swear, but can you answer my question just now?"
Facing the general's question, the bandit immediately said, "I'll do the math again!"
Then he just shouted in despair, "Where have I been?"
He knew that the bandit was not well educated, but the general obviously did not expect that there was a bandit with such a weak mind, but maybe it was precisely because of his poor brain. So he seemed somewhat sincere at the moment.
The general was still in a hurry to get on his way, so naturally he was not in the mood to continue guiding the bandit to do the math.
So he quickly said, "Okay, since you can't figure out anything, that's it. Can you tell me directly how you met him?"
Seeing that the general no longer allowed him to count, the bandit leader obviously felt much happier. He immediately added, "I met this scholar about three years ago. At that time, he was not what he is now. He was just He is the study boy of a rich young man. The rich young man came to Beijing to take the exam, but he heard about the reputation of our Black Dragon Village near the Lihe River. He wanted to have more prostitutes, but did not want to take the risk of going to Beijing, so
In order to send the book boy directly to the area near Black Dragon Mountain where we are. "
"Actually, we don't spare every fat fish. After all, if we don't spare every fish, even if we are going from Lihe River to Leiyang, the Black Dragon Mountain is the only way to go. For the sake of safety, others We will also change our ways. When they go elsewhere, we will have to pay for the loss, so we usually start robberies on February 46th. Depending on our mood, we charge protection fees, rob them all, or kill them and silence them. .”
"So our Black Dragon Village is much safer than other villages."
The general was listening carefully to the other party's old story about the village. But as he listened, he found that the other party's answer seemed to be completely different from his original question.
He asked him to talk about his interactions with the boy, instead of listening to him talk about the development history of their copycat village.
So he couldn't help but say, "You're off topic. What I'm asking about is his business, not your copycat business."
Only then did the bandit leader suddenly realize that he seemed to have strayed off topic again.
So he immediately said, "Oh, this guy has a bad idea. If he passes by here any day on February 46th, we can't catch him. As a result, he appeared in Heilongzhai on Friday." On the trail."
"We also ordered back that day, and we didn't see a big fat sheep come over for an entire afternoon! After waiting for a long time, we waited for such a poor boy. When I saw this boy alone, I wanted to give him a hand. It just clicked."
"If that kid hadn't begged for mercy and said he could bring us better sources of goods, and kept saying that our young master is very rich, we wouldn't have wanted to spare his life."
"But he said this and gave us a plan. He said that his young master is from Yong County, Yunzhou, and his family is very wealthy. This time he went to Beijing to take the exam, and he brought only five or six thousand taels of his family wealth."
"When he said he could bring in big orders, we were naturally moved. So I also gave him a promise. As long as he brings his young master over, we will be equal to each other."
Hearing this, the general couldn't help but ask, "You later divided with him according to nine of you and one of him. Why are you divided like this now?"
Facing the general's question, the bandit leader said without thinking, "Don't you think that this guy is taking care of his young master? You don't have to pay more."
"And I'm not sure that this kid will come. I just thought that if he doesn't come, it's best not to meet him in this life, otherwise I will beat him every time I meet him."
After saying that, the bandit leader then only whispered, "But I didn't expect this kid to actually come. And this time he not only came, but also gave me a signal, and he actually came with his young master."
"After that, we successfully kidnapped his fat young master. We originally thought that we could squeeze all the money out of their young master, but the young master was also generous and kept saying that we could just spare his life. I don’t care about anything else. That’s what we originally planned.”
"But who would have thought that this kid is much more ruthless than us. When we told him about this, he only said that this young master still has money? We asked him where the money was, and he said that it was at his parents' house. He actually wanted us to play Kidnapping, but he said that other people’s families were richer, so we did as he said, and their parents sent us money as expected. Of course we couldn’t ask for the one million banknote, after all, this banknote I need to go down the mountain to the designated bank to withdraw money. If I go, what will happen if they set an ambush? So we asked his family to exchange everything for silver and send it to the Black Dragon Mountain pass!"
"Who knew that their family would actually comply with such a request? This family is really rich. When we saw the piles of white snowflakes and silver appearing in front of us on Black Dragon Mountain, we have to admit that we have never We have never received such a huge amount of wealth from one person. And we thought that after we have received so much, we should just accept it when we are good. But that boy is greedier than us. He said that his young master’s family is very rich, because He is rich and powerful in the local area. He also said that if their only precious son was not in our hands, and we are not from the same place as him, if not, their family would have spent money on a cottage like ours. Destroyed."
When he heard this, the general said, "So you
We just keep asking for money from that family? Until all their family's money was spent on this son? "
The bandit was shocked when he heard this: "How do you know this?"
The general only thought to himself that this was not a nonsense question. Since the book boy had gone on the road of seeking money from the seller, if he did not want his master to settle the account with him after his fall, what he had to do was to make the other party think in various ways. They became unable to resist themselves and even killed each other.
But he didn't have the time to let the bandit leader understand this.
So he just said, "Okay, don't worry about how I know it, just keep talking."
Although he was curious about why the general knew something that he had not seen with his own eyes, the general asked him to continue, so he could only continue speaking honestly.
"We later felt that what this kid said made sense, so we did what he said. It can be said that the votes we did were more than what we got in a year. Naturally, so did the kid. He got the last one With the money, we plan to send that person to meet his bankrupt parents."
"But in the end, the boy said that their young master still has a relationship. If he is released, there will be endless troubles. Although the young master repeatedly begged and promised that he would never get entangled with us, the boy insisted on this matter, so we will Under the instigation of the book boy, he finally got rid of his young master."
