"This news...where did you get it?"
The main village of Xiaoshan was controlled by Qingmian Yanluo himself in the past, but now it has had two owners.
I don’t know whether it’s because the place in Xiaoshan has some magical power, or because strange people must have strange abilities. In short, the appearance of these two generations of bandits is obviously different from ordinary people, but Cheng Qingshu and Cheng Qingshu feel inferior to the green birthmark on his face. His attitude is different, but the red-crowned leopard is quite proud of his red hair, and even stroking the red hair on his forehead in circles has become his signature move, especially when thinking.
A minion brought him a piece of news, a piece of news that could make all the old Qing-faced Yama troops feel uneasy - the thieves who blocked the road at Dongshan Pass were killed by Wei and retreated to Dongzhai. Ricai dared to collect the remains of the burial, but did not find the body belonging to Ren Tianjing among them.
The leader of Dongzhai was also from the Cheng Qingshu era. Knowing what He Nan's arrival meant, he sent people to investigate along the traces of several people's departure, and finally determined two things - Ren Tianjing left "walking" , the footprints that were obviously smaller than ordinary people were a proof, and the place where they settled was probably the village more than ten miles away at the foot of the mountain.
"The big man among them is called Wei Kui, right?" Although Red-Crowned Leopard has never seen Wei Kui, he also heard that a guy with the same name as him made a big show in the World Heroes Meeting some time ago. Extraordinary, and there have long been rumors of Wei Kui on the Green Forest Road - it is impossible for a giant bandit like him who aspires to be ranked among the Ten Palaces of Yama not to care about this kind of information.
If the rumors he heard are true, then he is definitely not an opponent that he can defeat alone - the red-crested leopard is quite self-aware, and he is not the kind of person who is so arrogant that he thinks he is invincible. He was very vigilant: "In that case, go and call the Fourth Hall Master. I have something to ask him."
The "Four Hall Masters" mentioned by Dandingbao are none other than the former Zuogui King - as the top two thugs under Qing-faced Yama's tent, Zuoguiwang's strength is currently among the top in Dandingbao's new village. Three, because he had just joined the family not long ago, he was not ranked high in the ranking, but he was still quite respected - and the old taro whom he had "partnered" with for the third time was not so lucky. It can be said that the more he got mixed up, the worse he got. maneuver. Originally, under Peng Niu Sheng, he could still serve as a consultant to his half-hearted village leader, but now he can only serve as deputy to King Zuo Gui. This is because of the red-crested leopard's credit for opening the village gate.
"Fourth Hall Master, you already know about He Nan's return to Xiaoshan, right?" The red-crested leopard tugged at the red hair on his forehead.
"I just heard about it." The minions just briefly described the situation on their way to greet the Fourth Hall Master. After hearing this, King Zuo Gui suddenly felt a chill in his heart - this He Nan is the fucking God of Plague. ? Why do you always follow everyone around like a ghost?
The Zuogui King back then was also a member of the rebellion who was encouraged by Ma Mian to create the Blue-faced Yama. Although he and Cheng Qingshu were old acquaintances from the first hilltop, they were also afraid of each other's tyranny later on, so Only then did he intend to rebel - but he was not the same as others. He was not determined because of oaths and fears like Niu Tou, nor was he willing to take advantage of the situation like Old Taro, the second boss. His original plan was ruined. From then on, Qing-faced Yama decided to be the new leader of the village, so when Niutou and Lao Yatou surrendered to He Nan for different reasons, he found an opportunity to sneak away and betray his teammates, because in his heart, He Nan is not a good cake either.
Of course, He Nan is not a good piece of cake, but it is definitely a chewy hard cake, and it also contains the discus of Wei Kui. Although Zuo Gui Wang has not fought against Wei Kui, he has also fought against the red-crowned leopard. I also learned some gossip.
"Brother Bao, that Wei Kui's ability is really big and invincible!" Old Taro also came with King Zuo Gui. Since we are going to talk about He Nan, it is natural for him to appear here, "And He Nan The difficulty is that there are many tricks and tricks, and you must not act on impulse."
Although his status is not as lofty as before, at least he doesn't have to be so trembling in front of the red-crowned leopard. The shortcoming of Old Taro is that he is driven by the wind and only pursues profit, but no matter which master he follows, he does his best when making plans: "And He Nanhe The Jinghong sect in Yanshan has a lot of connections. If we really start a battle and go out to fight them, I am afraid it will be difficult to win... In my humble opinion, it is better to gather people and stick to the mountain stronghold, and then give some benefits to the county magistrate. The government will deal with him."
To be fair, what Old Taro gave Red-Crowned Leopard was not a bad idea. In the heyday of Qing-faced Yama, there were two thousand minions under his command, gathered in Xiaoshan Forest, but now the entire Xiaoshan could not gather more than a thousand people. Compared with before, the strength was greatly reduced, although the strength of Red-crowned Leopard was compared to Cheng Qing's. The tree is better, but it can't compete with Wei Kui. Of course, Old Taro still ignored one point, or the information he knew was one version out of date - at that time, He Nan and Wei Kui were still fugitives and wanted criminals, but today, He Nan not only cleared his name and came ashore, but also Li Zhanchun and Li Zhanchun were involved. With both single and double licenses in hand, not only the Xiaoshan County Yamen can handle it? What's more, He Nan had already learned from Ren Tianjing that the local government had accepted black money from Red-crested Leopard, and he still wanted to cause trouble for the county magistrate!
Some people may still remember that He Nan also allocated a share of the property of Yanluo Village for up and down management. So how is this move different from that of the Red-crested Leopard? Where do you get the nerve to cause trouble for others?
But He Nan is He Nan, he will always have a reason, and...it is almost impeccable.

"Of course it's different. What the Volunteers do is to protect the villagers. The money paid is called 'tax'. I strictly calculated and paid it according to the standards of the escort industry. After all, what I do is the job of an escort; and What red-crowned leopards do is called robbing families and houses, and the money they give you is called 'bribery'." He Nan leaned on the Taishi chair, crossed his legs, and talked eloquently: "I have no personal relationship with any of you. According to the regulations, you don’t think that the extra money should go into your own pockets?”
"You... what evidence do you have?" Magistrate Xiaoshan's legs were a little weak behind the table, but he suddenly realized that even if he looked unnatural just now, since the other party couldn't produce evidence, it was all empty talk.
Hearing the county magistrate's excuse, He Nan slowly sat up, hunched forward and crossed his hands, as if he was threatening others: "I advise you to think clearly, there is no evidence now and it can't be raised to the level of sentencing." , but once I present the evidence, you should be ready to roll down from this position - you will not regret it then."
Who would negotiate with others in such a stern manner? Only those who bluff would do this - at least from the perspective of the county magistrate who has been handling cases for so many years, this line of thinking is very reasonable. Just looking at He Nan's reaction, you can tell that he is using these words to scare himself. After thinking about this clearly, the county magistrate sat up straight, and the catcher, accountant and other people standing behind him also sneered: "Humph, you are unreasonable, but I am reasonable—— Since you can’t produce any evidence, let’s stop this nonsense, otherwise I will punish you with a false accusation!”
"Why are you laughing? Does what I just said without mentioning your name have nothing to do with you?" The county magistrate turned a deaf ear to He Nan's retort. Instead, he started to find fault with the master who was proud of him by his side. His tone was like The teacher who criticizes others in school.
"If you insist on being so arrogant, don't blame me for not giving you face! Someone, pull this nonsense out and beat him up!" Seeing He Nan, he had already started biting people like a mad dog. The county magistrate felt relieved - at first he really thought that this young man was an official of the imperial court, but now it seemed that he was just a hysterical lunatic, but he only managed to scare everyone with his lively acting.
"You want evidence? Here you go!" He Nan took out a small booklet with several pages bound from his arms and threw it in front of everyone without even looking at it.
This thing, of course, is the details of how Red-crowned Leopard bribed everyone, and he keeps it in his own hands - Red-crowned Leopard has long been prepared to rely on this list to find a way out if he is caught by the court one day, so Write every word clearly to nip problems in the bud. As for where He Nan got this thing, of course it was because besides Ren Tianjing there were other people who were dormant in the village. They copied a copy of Red-crested Leopard's private account book and brought it out to He Nan.
It is true that He Nan did not participate or interfere with Ren Tianjing's attack on Xiaoshan Yanluo Village, but he was not someone who would do nothing. Instead, he took care of the most difficult part personally.
The booklet fell in front of everyone. One person stretched out a finger and plucked it twice to see the part related to him. His face changed drastically in an instant - until the catcher's quick eyes and quick hands took advantage of He Nan's still there and looked like he was winning. While holding his expression, he snatched the account from the table and tore it into pieces of paper: "Don't be afraid! Now that the evidence is gone, what can he do to interfere with us!"
But the next second, the catcher's face was slapped so painfully that an identical account was slapped on his face from the air, and He Nan "swish, swish, swish" out of his arms like a juggler at the market entrance. He took out several identical ones and threw them on the desk: "Come on, keep tearing up. Let me see how long you can survive?"
"By the way, let me remind you again - destroying evidence will result in an additional penalty."
