Since being transferred to guard the city gate, Yuan Sannan has been very unhappy.
His surname is Feng, and he was a rogue in the county when he was young.
When I was nineteen, I lost my mother-in-law to someone else and became a beggar myself, unable to survive.
He broke into a casino owned by Yuan Yuan and was beaten for a while. He broke in again and had his leg broken. When his leg healed, he went to cause trouble and had the little finger of his left hand chopped off. He remained silent the whole time.
From that day on, Yuan Yuan's casino gave him two taels of silver every month.
In fact, since the founding of the country in the early Ming Dynasty, people in the Ming Dynasty would tremble when they heard the word gambling, because Emperor Taizu said that people who gambled would have their hands chopped off, and officials who gambled would be dismissed from their posts.
This matter was banned after Emperor Taizu's death, at least no one dared to gamble blatantly.
But the year Feng Sanmen entered the casino was already Wanli's thirty-seventh year.
At that time, the emperor was negligent in his administration, there were not enough local officials, and all the laws were not easy to implement. Moreover, the emperor himself was gambling like crazy in the palace with the ceremonial supervisors. Every one of them who came out of the palace were professional dealers, accompanying the tax supervisors. With the spread of gambling, gambling spread all over the country within two or three years.
Yuan Yuanwai was not an official, he only donated a crown and belt. He was an old scoundrel at first, and became the god-grandson of a eunuch during the Wanli period.
The godson is the godson of the godson.
Relying on this relationship, he took over two mining sites in Heshui County and became the head of the mine. However, due to the sloppy survey and the lack of enthusiasm of the people who forced the mines to mine, not only did the mined ore not make Yuan Yuanwai make any money, but he even signed with Grandpa Qian. The money shared equally between the government and the people was not earned.
Fortunately, Yuan Yuan was smart enough to work with his godfather to sell the mine to Mr. Qi, a man known as Half a Pass in Xiguan, Heshui County, before anyone knew about it.
Mr. Qi has cultivated and studied for generations, and he is a high-minded official himself. He sees that he can make money by doing this, but he will lose everything. Even the little daughter was taken away by Qiao Qiaohao, and she died of anger on the spot.
It's just that Miss Qi is a fierce person and has always been full of hatred. The first time she got pregnant, she killed the baby. The second time, she simply injured Yuan Yuanwai's thing and later threw it into a well.
Yuan Yuanwai relied on this money to open three casinos in the city and outside Liangguan, and thus made a lot of money.
Originally, a fool like Feng Sanmen would be killed by someone who didn't know what was going on. However, Yuan Yuanwai found out about the matter. He remembered that he was also a ruthless person when he was young, so he gave him some money every month and hired him to work at home. A thug who does dirty work.
Feng Sanmen got his name from the casino.
Within a few years, even his last name was changed to Yuan Sanman.
Not long ago, Li Laoji and Tian Jinan besieged the city. The county magistrate, Mr. Jiang, summoned the gentlemen in the city to come out. Mr. Yuan organized casino gangs on the spot to form a regiment. Yuan Sanman was sent to the city as the leader of the regiment to defend the city.
He Huchen drove away the thieves, and the county had withdrawn its defenses. Unexpectedly, He Huchen returned in defeat within a few days, and the county was severely shaken. The county magistrate Jiang summoned the gentry again.
Not to mention, even though the county can hardly collect the money, the local government can only collect half of it if the county magistrate comes to the door in person.
But when it comes to this kind of thing, no matter if you want people or money, everyone is very active.
And he repeatedly asked: Oh, Chiang's parents must not let the soldiers of Qingyang Guard come to defend the city. We, the children of Heshui, will shoulder the responsibility of defending the city!
Thinking of the disgusting look of Yuan Yuanwai, who was leaning on crutches and saying this in front of the Jiang County Prince, Yuan Sanmen, who moved a recliner and sat in the city gate to dry his feet with a cattail leaf fan, raised his head and strained his throat, spitting out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and tilted his head to the side. He stretched it out and spat it out on the ground.
"Clean the fucking bird farts!"
The bad old man said that he wanted to try out the sex business with his newly bought six-bedroom concubine, so he asked his mother, a disabled man in his forties with broken legs and fingers, to come to defend the city and support him under the fucking sun.
You old womanizer, why don't you try it out at the city gate and let the third master have a good time?
What's the point of guarding the city gate these days?
Yuan Sannan thought to himself: The people who came here were either refugees or hungry people. The people begging for food were all dirty and smelly. How disgusting it was to deal with these bugs all day long.
At this moment, Minzhuang, who was sweating profusely from the sun, ran up on the suspension bridge: "Third Master, there is a soldier from Qingyang Guard coming, please tell me not to leave!"
He slapped his hand and said, "How many people are there?"
"On a!"
Yuan Sanman rolled up from the recliner, showing a complex expression of frowning and twitching the corners of his mouth, stretched hard, and hurried forward.
Isn’t this happy thing about to happen?
There was a long queue on the suspension bridge. Dozens of ragged refugees and hungry people were waiting on the Beichuan Bridge. Many of them were old acquaintances.
This group of people are all beggars who came out of the mountains. They come to Dongguan every now and then to try their luck, as if they have a chance to eat in the city.
Yuan San glanced at the team and then looked at the mountains to the east. This mountain was very hateful.
If it weren't for this mountain, these dirty and smelly bugs would all starve to death.
As soon as the city gate is closed, the sky outside will collapse, but Heshui City is impregnable!
At the front of the team, there was a skinny flag soldier wearing a patched uniform, riding on a fat-bellied horse that was even skinnier than him. He waved a letter anxiously and said: "I want to enter the city. This is a letter to your county magistrate. Please give me a letter." It’s a big deal!”
"Whose letter is it for?"
Yuan San frowned and jumped up from behind, stretched out his hand to take the letter, and heard the banner soldier say: "Qingyang Guards commander..."
"Where did your grandpa think that hairy-faced monkey came from?" Upon hearing the word "Qingyang Wei San", Yuan San'an felt relieved, raised his hand and cursed: "Haha, you old hozen, who has been plagued by the disease, got on the horse and pretended to be a human being, for a while and a half I didn’t even recognize him, please help me move that dick face away, the county magistrate has an order not to let a thief or a dog into the city."
After being stopped for a long time, Banner Army was impatient, but he was humiliated for no reason. He was scolded and was dumbfounded. He didn't even bother to talk back. His eyes were bigger than his cheekbones. He stretched out his hand but couldn't curse. He was so anxious. Said: "I am Qingyang Flag Guard, not a thief!"
"The county magistrate also said that half of the dogs can be allowed, but the flag army cannot."
Before Qi Jun could talk back, Yuan Sannan had already stretched out a hand and raised it above his head.
This hand was pinched and opened and closed. Yuan San waved his hand with a bored look on his face. Hehehe, another mouthful of thick phlegm came from his throat. He extended his arm and pointed towards the west: "Quickly clamp the bird's beak! Fly back to the bird's nest and join your mother." Go away, the city won’t let you in!”
Yuan San cursed happily, turned around and waved his hands to the left and right: "A commander with a big egg can't manage as many soldiers as a dick... If you don't get out of here, you'll be beaten to death on the spot to feed the hungry people."
The flag soldier was so humiliated that his face turned red and white, and he wanted to kill someone with his knife five times, but he didn't dare to do it, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he had to turn his horse and leave the suspension bridge.
Before leaving, he shouted: "You lame dog, that letter must be given to Magistrate Jiang!"
In Qingyang, no one is afraid of Qingyang Guards.
Even the big families were not afraid of the Qingyang Guards before the rebellion.
Qingyang Prefecture has a Huanxian Guards Station for Thousand Households, Qingyang Guards stationed a Thousand Households in Qingyang, and the rest of the main force was stationed in Ningzhou.
Some time ago, some people from this Qianhu family ran away, and the remaining people fought three battles with Han Chaozai. They won one battle and there were not many people left.
The main force stationed in Ningzhou has disappeared.
There was a lot of land in Ningzhou, with millions of acres of land. However, because Li Siqi resisted in Ningzhou at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, he was doubled by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
Other places charge 1.2 cents, but this place charges 2.5 cents. In the Wanli Year, they were levied a few cents more for some reason. No one knows why. Anyway, nearly 70,000 stone grains are levied every year.
From the fourth year of Hongwu to the present, there has never been a year where the summer taxes and autumn grains have been collected.
When other places encounter droughts or floods, refugees flee to Ningzhou because there is so much land;
People in Ningzhou have been running elsewhere since the early Ming Dynasty, and they have been running away to this day because of high taxes.
The drought was already terrible, but Master Wanli and Master Chongzhen competed to add more gifts, and everything exploded at once.
The commander of Qingyang Guard did not have as many people in charge as Yuan Sanmen.
Before they had gone far, they heard a crash on the other side of the river bank and a scream from the war horse. I don't know whether it was because of sprained feet or because they were too hungry. They fell heavily to the ground and slid far away.
Everyone on the bridge was stunned. Yuan Sanman was the first to react. He clenched his fists and jumped up and down and shouted loudly: "Insects, the horse is dead, eat the horse!"
I don't know which of the hungry people started it, but everyone stampeded and ran in the direction where the banner army fell. For a moment, the banner army surrounding the horses was frightened so much that they drew their swords and tried to chop them, but they couldn't scare away the hungry people.
Seeing that they were about to be surrounded, the Banner Army had no choice but to flee in panic. Seeing the hungry people behind them like a pack of wild dogs, biting the horses alive with their hands and teeth.
Yuan Sanmen was seen laughing with his hands on his hips at the other end of the suspension bridge.
It's not that he isn't afraid of the commander of Qingyang Guard, in fact he is afraid even if a general banner comes, so it would be better if the hungry people can kill this banner army.
He was just confident and convinced that the city would not let any officers and soldiers enter.
But having said that, it would be okay if he was released. If the starving officers and soldiers entered the city, he might die first, but there would be those masters to bury him with him.
Yuan Sanmen... felt that he was very strange.
There is nothing wrong with living, having enough to eat and drink, but these are the things you see every day.
It's not that he wants to help others or feel pity for others. He doesn't care about others. It's just that what he sees every day makes him realize that he won't get better either.
Yuan Sanman has wanted to be called Master Feng all his life, but what if he becomes Master Feng?
Yuan Sannan would be killed by hungry and anxious soldiers or bandits.
Mr. Feng would also be killed by hungry soldiers or bandits.
He even thought about getting the last sum of money, a big sum of money, and leading a group of Shaanxi children to escape elsewhere, but after asking around, there was no place without war and chaos in the sky and the earth.
It's very annoying, just like living in the Water Margin. It's not about gratification and enmity, but it's about doing evil and having fun.
But he was born in a strange era. Saving one person does not accumulate any evil virtue, and killing one person does not add any karma.
Big people, small people, big smart people, big fools, the ending is the same.
I am very angry, but I don’t know who to seek revenge from, which is very boring.
He's just tired of living.
"Third Master, look at that."
Yuan Sanman looked along the arm of his subordinate Min Zhuang and saw that there were many people on the suspension bridge. These people were not hungry people, but probably refugees. Anyway, they were not hungry enough to eat raw meat.
There were four people inside, a toothless old servant, a rickety old lady, and two women, one a graceful white lotus, and the other a graceful black beauty.
But the details are so beautiful, Yuan Sanmen only looked at the shoes from bottom to top, and stopped looking up.
These days, a woman who goes out to this remote rural area with shoes that don't have much dirt and a skirt that's still not dirty is not someone he can look at.
He walked directly towards the toothless old servant with a smile on his face: "I have a very good face, I wonder why you came to this small county?"
The father-in-law handed over a guide, which confused Yuan Sanmen. He had been guarding the city gate for more than ten days, but he had never seen a guide.
"Xiucai, Xiucai, come here!"
Under the city gate, a scholar wearing glasses and a blue shirt lazily walked out. When he saw the woman on the suspension bridge, his steps moved a little faster.
In fact, at this moment, Bai Liuxi and Yun Jiaoyue had not yet recovered from Yuan Sanman's series of swear words earlier, nor had they reacted to this sudden change of "my father-in-law has a very good face".
Then I saw a scholar with glasses step forward, smiling crazily and cupping his hands: "You two ladies are polite, young man..."
"Hey, you idiot, you are so stupid, you are so loud." Yuan Sanmen raised his hand and patted Lu Yin into the scholar's arms, "Hurry up and show Lu Yin to this old man!"
The scholar did not dare to disobey, and opened the guide with an annoyed look on his face: "Huan County, Lehu, four people, the secretary Liu Er, the seal is good; the seal of Qingyang Prefecture is also correct, the secretary Yang Ding... Chen from Qingyang Prefecture Where’s the clerk’s office?”
Hearing that it was Lehu, Yuan Sanmen's eyes looked up and he looked at his body, he was pretty good.
"Old man, don't interrupt." He dropped the honorific and just raised his hand and said, "I have to check your luggage."
With a choking bang, he pulled away the handle of the soft knife, and the blade made a clanging sound.
A small snake spear that is four feet and five inches long. After all, with such a long blade, it is not easy to get, but the material is not very good, and it cannot be said to be a weapon.
With a lot of costumes and props for acting, Yuan Sanman took out a dozen Wen Tongbao, threw them back, and compared them with Zhang Fei's fake beard on his face. It was not as lush as his.
The only thing that could be called a weapon was a thick stick four feet and five inches long. After asking, he said it was Yang Paifeng's prop.
There were no crossbows and muskets, and two little girls carrying a bunch of toys were hardly alarming.
Yuan Sanmen asked: "Whose invitation did you accept to come to this small county to play Zhang Fei?"
"Shopkeeper Deyuelou Hong."
"Hong Laosi? Xiucai, please send the two young ladies to the courtyard in the north of the city. There is chaos in the city now. Don't let the young ladies get lost in the city."
Upon hearing this, Bai Liuxi and Yun Jiaoyue looked at each other, with fear on their faces and surprise in their eyes.
The old servant and the old lady were shocked. The old servant took out a few pieces of silver and gave it to Yuan Sanman, and said hurriedly: "Master, please show me your noble hand. We and other Lehu people are kind..."
"You old man, you complimented you on your good looks, and you sent grandpa with four pieces of silver. Do you really think you can't see that your wild ass father is at least four feet tall at the shoulders?"
Yuan Sanmen changed his face as soon as he said he changed his mind. He rushed forward, grabbed the old servant's waist and lifted it up by his collar. He threw him towards the bridge railing and threw him into the river with a plop. He turned to look at the old lady with a ferocious smile and said: "Wife, do you also want to go down and cool off?"
The old lady was so frightened that she took several steps back and tripped herself.
Almost at the same time, the helpers behind him rushed to grab Bailiuxi Yunjiaoyue, and then the two of them pushed and pushed each other with their luggage, and escorted the two girls into the county town with the scholar.
They entered Heshui through the Wengcheng at the east gate, followed the city wall to the north, and walked up the stone road in the mountains. On the road, the scholar was still walking in front and looking at Zixiong, as if he felt someone was watching him from behind.
Unexpectedly, the two girls were too busy looking at the city wall and the surrounding courtyard walls to pay attention to him.
Just listen to the scholar say: "You two little ladies, don't be afraid. The mountains north of the city have always been desolate. No one will listen to you when you shout, and no one will care about you. Don't cause trouble for anyone. Xiaosheng is not a vulgar person like Yuan Sannan. If you feel comfortable serving the brothers for a few days, I might be happy and let you go."
Bai Liuxi looked at the surrounding courtyards and wondered, "Can't you really hear me? There are so many families around here."
"They are all running away. There are many people in the yard, but there is actually no one there. If you don't believe it, look at it." The scholar shouted at the top of his voice, "Help!"
Really no response.
Bai Liuxi and Yun Jiaoyue looked at each other and felt relieved. She stopped and let out a breath: "It's okay if you can't hear me. You called me early."
The scholar had just turned forward and turned his head in confusion after listening to her words, when he saw Bai Liuxi flying up, a fist getting closer and closer to his face.
With a bang, his glasses flew off, and the face he had just turned around was punched back, making stars appear in his eyes.
Before the helper carrying the luggage could react, she asked Yun Jiaoyue to reach out and take away the four-foot-five-inch snake spear. The thick, iron-headed snake spear that was one foot long was as light as a wooden pole in her hand. She could just smash it when it was rounded. Knocking them both down one at a time.
Not even a chance to cry for father and mother.
The scholar was beaten until his head was covered, and all he could hear was the girl said: "Yun Niang, my sister said that this scholar is not a good person, and good people cannot afford to wear glasses."
Then his waist was tightened and someone strangled him from behind, and he jumped into the air. He looked first at the sky and then at the ground, and his head was slapped heavily on the ground.
Yun Jiaoyue dragged a leg with one hand, dragging the two of them to leave two blood marks on the stone road.
He went to the courtyard wall and stood on tiptoe to look inside. It was true that no one had spawned cobwebs, so he and Bailiuxi worked together to throw the three corpses into the courtyard through the wall.
The two men carefully wiped the blood on the ground with their costumes, sprinkled it with loess, threw the dirty clothes and weapons into the courtyard, picked up a bunch of daggers, turned over into the courtyard one after another, and stabbed the corpse a few more times.
After doing this, the two girls clapped their hands and said: "Entering the city went more smoothly than expected. The five hundred shi of grain earned will be earned at night!"
