"Brother, the brothers went down the mountain and grabbed a lot of good stuff this time. There is also a little girl locked up in the woodshed. Her figure is nothing to say."
"Brother, can you reward the brothers with that little girl's skin later, and let the brothers eat meat?" The bandit who spoke licked his lower lip with his tongue, looking lewd.
A bandit holding a wine bowl next to him said, "Third brother, why are you so anxious? When the elder brother opens the meat first, you can still get less of your share."
"Brother, when I think of that girly figure, I can't help but want to enjoy it." The person called the third child said with a lewd smile.
"It makes me feel itchy what you said."
On the top spot of the cottage, a tall man with a full beard sat with his legs crossed.
The man named Lao San laughed and said, "How about I go there first and have a good time, and I can drink this wine when I get back."
The bearded man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone has been arrested on the mountain, can she still run away? Come on, drink."
Several leaders in the village raised their wine bowls, bumped them in mid-air, and drank heavily.
"Brother, there are a few people coming down from the mountain who claim to be Tiger Character Banners. They want to see you, eldest brother."
A man with a sharp mouth and thin cheeks ran in outside.
The bearded man put down his wine bowl, frowned, and said, "Damn it, why did the people from the Tiger Flag come to your door? I have nothing to do with them. Did any of you not listen to me and grab the Tiger Flag at the foot of the mountain?" flag goods”
"No, absolutely not."
"Don't worry, brother, the Tiger Flag's convoy passed by our mountain. The brothers just pretended not to see it and let their convoy leave. They never made a move."
"Yes, brother, those people in the Tiger Flag are too fierce. Even if we take action, we can't defeat them. Brothers are not stupid, how can they possibly target their convoy?"
Several leaders on the table spoke one after another.
The bearded man grabbed a handful of the beard on his chin, pondered for a moment, and said to the bandits who came in to deliver the message, "Invite the people from the Tiger Flag into the stronghold and see what they are here for."
"yes."
The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks agreed and retreated from the room.
"It's such a bummer, I can't even have a drink." The man named Lao San complained.
The bearded man said, "Okay, don't say so many weird things, let the people in the Tiger Flag hear it, and be careful to cut your tongue."
Not long after, the bandits with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks came to the village with several young and strong men.
The bearded man and several of his bosses were already waiting outside the door.
"Master Chen is in charge."
As soon as the two sides met, Yang Yuan gave a fist to the master of the cottage who was standing at the front of the crowd.
The bearded man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
These few people came to Hu Ziqi, and their expressions and attitudes did not look like they were here to ask questions, which meant that his men had not offended Hu Ziqi, which reassured him a lot.
As long as the people from the Tiger Character Banner are not here to ask for guilt, he and his cottage don't have to worry about being dealt with by the people from the Tiger Character Banner.
Several groups of bandits and horse thieves who once occupied Baoding Mansion relied on their own strength to attack the Tiger Flag convoy. Now the grass on the grave has grown more than three feet high.
Precisely because those strong bandits' dens were cleared away by the Tiger Flag, his small village with dozens of people became one of the stronger villages in Baoding Prefecture.
"Brothers from the Tiger Flag, please come inside. I've already asked people to prepare food and drinks." The bearded man invited Yang Yuan and the others into the house with a smile on his face.
"Master Chen, please invite me." Yang Yuan raised his right arm and made a gesture of invitation.
After everyone entered the room and sat down, the bearded man asked his men to fill the wine bowls in front of Yang Yuan and the others.
"I would like to ask, I wonder what these distinguished guests from the Tiger Flag have to do with visiting my small village," the bearded man said, holding the wine bowl.
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "To be honest, we are here this time in the hope that Master Chen can help."
After speaking, he winked at the person he brought.
I saw the man take out a cloth bag, put it on the table, and opened the cloth bag.
Several ingots of white silver appeared in front of everyone. There were five ingots in total, each ingot was about twenty taels.
When several bandits saw the silver on the table, their eyes either shone or they swallowed secretly.
For a small village like them, going down the mountain to rob once and grabbing one or twenty taels of silver is already a good harvest. More often, they only rob some grain and groceries, which are not worth much silver.
"What do you mean?" The bearded man looked at Yang Yuan in front of him.
Yang Yuan said, "I hope Mr. Chen will help me kill a few people. This is only half of the deposit. After the event is completed, the other half will be given as a gift."
If you kill a few people, you will get two hundred taels. The bearded man couldn't help but lick his lips, and then said, "I don't know who your company wants to kill."
"On the day of action, my people will identify Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen will just do it." Yang Yuan pushed the silver forward.
The bearded man hesitated for a moment and said, "With the strength of your company, you can kill as many people as you want, so why go through so much trouble to find us, the fallen green forest people."
Yang Yuan said, "The person who wants to be killed this time has something to do with the government. It is not convenient for us at Tiger Character Flag to do it, so we came to ask Master Chen for help."
"This" the bearded man looked hesitant.
The matter of killing officials can be big or small. Although he likes money, he cherishes his life even more. Otherwise, he would not let his men see the tiger-character flag convoy passing around.
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. They are all petty officials, and there are not many of them. There are only a few people. With the strength of Mr. Chen, they can easily solve them. As long as they are dealt with from beginning to end, no one will know who they are." Who killed him?"
"Allow me to ask one more question." The bearded man said, "Is it true that the identities of the people your company wants to kill cannot be revealed?"
Yang Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I don't believe in Master Chen, but that there are many people talking and it's not good for us if the news spreads. The fewer people know about it, the better."
"What are you talking about?" The third copycat who was sitting on the table slapped the table and said dissatisfied, "You tiger character flags ask us to kill people, but you always tell us who we are killing. If you are not at ease, why do you come to us to take action? .”
"Third brother, sit down." The bearded man glared at the person who spoke.
The old man sat down politely.
"It doesn't matter if Master Chen doesn't want to accept this deal. We can't do business with justice, so I'll go find someone else." Yang Yuan turned to the people around him and said, "Since Master Chen doesn't want to, just keep the money."
The person following Yang Yuan took back the one hundred taels of silver on the table, tied the cloth bag again, and put it away.
"Don't get me wrong." The bearded man said hurriedly, "That's not what my brother meant. Killing an official is not a trivial matter. If it doesn't lead to an encirclement and suppression by the government, the entire village may be involved."
Yang Yuan put his hands on the table and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. If the government sends troops to suppress it, my tiger-character flag can protect Mr. Chen and all the brothers from being harmed by the army. Even if Mr. Chen is willing, he will not be harmed at all." You can join my Tiger Flag, but I dare not say anything else. It is no problem to give Mr. Chen the position of squadron leader."
With these words, the bearded man's worries were put to rest.
