Once upon a time, there was a gang of bandits near Pi County. The original prefectural order was removed from office because of the disadvantage of suppressing bandits. The newly appointed county magistrate, in his thirties, is named Zhao Gongming.
On this day, Zhao Gongming was on his way to Pixian to take office. While hurrying, he secretly vowed that he must exterminate the bandits and return peace to the people.
When Zhao Gongming walked to the gate of Pixian County, he saw that many people had gathered at the gate of the city, and he guessed that most of those people were going home for the New Year, because it was approaching the New Year.
However, most of those people had bitter faces, and Zhao Gongming wondered in his heart: Shouldn't the reunion of relatives be welcomed? Why is everyone so bitter? It's so impersonal.
However, there is a pair of middle-aged men and women are exceptions, the middle-aged woman is helping the middle-aged man to sort out his clothes, her face is always filled with a happy smile, presumably this is a couple, Zhao Gongming saw this, a little relieved, walked over, sighed: "You have a really good relationship." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned: "Good feelings? My lord, what do you see from **? He saw Zhao Gongming wearing an official uniform and knew that Zhao Gongming was an official.
Zhao Gongming said: "From the time you reunited after a long absence, your wife's face was full of smiles. ”
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "No, we are not reunited after a long absence, my wife is here to see me off." ”
See off? Zhao Gongming frowned, and turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman: "Then why are you smiling so happily?" Shouldn't the parting of a loved one be a sad thing? ”
The middle-aged woman didn't speak, but the middle-aged man sighed: "Although sad, at least, there is still a way to live away from Pixian." ”
Zhao Gongming said curiously: "If you stay in Pixian, there is no way to live?" Why? Is it because of the bandits? ”
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "What does this have to do with the bandits?" It's all because of ......”
Dead ghosts, don't talk nonsense, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth. The middle-aged woman suddenly glanced at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man immediately understood, and after packing up, he and the middle-aged woman left in the opposite direction.
Zhao Gongming was very puzzled, and said in his heart: What are they afraid of? In order to find out the truth, Zhao Gongming decided to take off his official uniform and make a private visit. On his way into the city, he met many victims, and from time to time there were people in the city.
Dying of starvation, many monks came from other places.
On the side of a mountain road outside the city, a middle-aged monk is sitting in the shade of a tree to rest. The monk was preparing to enter the city and do things for the family of the rich man Sun in the city.
Although the monk is a monk, he does not quit drinking, does not quit sex, and does not quit meat, at this time, he was drinking wine, gnawing on chicken legs, suddenly the back of his head hurt, fainted. When he woke up, he found that his body was tied by a tree and vine, and he couldn't move, and there was a girl standing in front of him, looking at him strangely. The monk thought that the girl had knocked him out, so he said angrily: "Stinky girl, why did you stun me?" ”
The girl said, "You are not a good person. ”
You are talking nonsense! "Still quibbling? My mother said, one-eyed dragons, ** sons, bald heads, most of them are not good people. ”
As a monk, what is wrong with a poor monk shaving his head? ”
The girl was suspicious: "Do monks drink wine and eat meat?" ”
The poor monk is a flower monk who does not abstain from alcohol and meat. ”
Then you can't look so ugly. ”
Seeing that the girl didn't believe him, the monk explained: "Only when the poor monk eats a little more can he have the strength to do things for the rich man Sun and make more money." ”
The girl frowned: "You want to make money by doing things?" Most people are dying poor now, do people have money for you? ”
Sun is not poor, he is the richest person in Pi County. ”
Rich Sun is the richest? The girl's eyes lit up.
It turned out that this girl's name was Lin Yuchen, and her father was the head of a group of bandits nearby, known as the "master of the forest village". The master of the forest village is strong in martial arts and likes to rob the rich and help the poor. Under the influence of the owner of the forest village, she followed the martial arts and character of the owner of the forest village, and also liked to rob the rich and help the poor. She ran away from home today, just to rob the rich and help the poor, however, he went all the way, the rich did not see, but met a lot of victims, she saw that the victims were pitiful, so she gave all the money on her body to the victims, resulting in no money to eat, hungry and growling, but when she was in a hurry, she found that the monk was hiding behind a tree to drink wine and eat meat, she also thought that the monk was the same as her, he was also a thief, and wanted to sneak attack her, after all, they were a group of people, usually like to hide behind the bushes, sneak attack passers-by. Now, when she saw that there was no threat from the non-precepting monk, she untied the vine on the non-precept monk and said, "Master, I offended a lot just now, and I owe it to you, and if we meet in the future, I will make compensation." ”
Lin Yuchen never quit the monk's mouth, and after asking the address of the rich man Sun, he rushed to the rich man's house, and when she walked near the rich man's house, it was already evening. At this time, she suddenly noticed a man with a stick and following her from behind. Lin Yuchen's first reaction was: He wants to rob me?
So, when Lin Yuchen walked through a corner, she quickly hid behind the wall, and when the man came over, she immediately tripped him up, pressed him to the ground, and shouted: "You dare to plot against me? ”
The man exclaimed, "Girl, you misunderstood, I have no ill intentions. ”
Then why are you following me with a stick? ”
There's a gang of bandits around here, and I'm afraid you're in danger, so I want to escort you on a ride. ”
This man is none other than Zhao Gongming, who was investigating the cause of the disaster just now. Seeing that after the sky darkened, the streets were closed, only Lin Yuchen was walking, there might be bandits in the city, he was worried that Lin Yuchen would be offended when he met the bandits, so he took a stick to escort him behind, wanting to send Lin Yuchen home, and he would go back to the yamen. After all, in the city, there was a man behind her to take care of, and no matter how bold those bandits were, they didn't dare to risk committing crimes. However, if Lin Yuchen is alone, she may not be safe. Unexpectedly, Lin Yuchen was so good that he held him down all of a sudden.
However, Lin Yuchen didn't believe Zhao Gongming's words, and said: "I see that you are not much better than a bandit!" After speaking, he was going to beat Zhao Gongming and teach him a lesson.
At this time, more than a dozen people came over in the distance, Lin Yuchen wanted to wait for these people to walk over, and then teach Zhao Gongming a lesson, but he didn't expect that when these people passed her, they slowed down, and one of them also scolded: "This pair of men and women is really good!" On the big night, he was still flirting outside. ”
Led by a middle-aged man, with a round waist and belly, this person is the rich man Sun. The rest of the people were all under the command of the rich man Sun. On weekdays, the rich man Sun relied on his wealth and power, and ran rampant in the township, doing all kinds of evil. Moreover, he was also greedy for sex, married a wife, and took nine young and beautiful concubines. As soon as the rich man Sun saw Lin Yuchen, he was attracted by her beauty, he thought that Lin Yuchen and Zhao Gongming were two young couples, otherwise, how could a female streamer have the ability to press a big man to the ground? So, Rich Sun stopped in front of Lin Yuchen, looked at her with squinting eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Little lady, you are so handsome, why don't you go home with me." Your man looks like a poor ghost, and there is no future with him. ”
Lin Yuchen frowned: "I'm not familiar with you, why do I want to go home with you?" ”
You go home with me and get along for a while, won't you get acquainted? ”
Lin Yuchen was impatient: "You get out!" ”
The little lady has a big temper, but I like it! As he spoke, the rich man reached out to touch Lin Yuchen's face.
Lin Yuchen was furious, let go of Zhao Gongming, and kicked down the rich man Sun.
Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect Lin Yuchen to be so powerful that he could actually kick down Rich Master Sun.
The rich man Sun was even more shocked and angry, and ordered his men to arrest Lin Yuchen.
Zhao Gongming was very angry when he saw that the rich man Sun dared to do evil in the street, and stepped forward and shouted: "Stop! In front of the public, robbing the people's daughters, do you still have the royal law? ”
The rich man Sun said: "I am the king!" ”
Zhao Gongming stood in front of Lin Yuchen and said, "Girl, I'll stop them, you go to the yamen to report to the official." ”
Zhao Gongming felt that Lin Yuchen could knock him down just now, but she had a lot of strength, a female streamer, in the face of a group of big men, no matter how strong she was, she would definitely suffer, so he wanted to drag the rich man Sun and them first, and let Lin Yuchen call someone to help. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was pressed to the ground and beaten violently by the rich man Sun's men.
Lin Yuchen saw Zhao Gongming come forward, knowing that he had been wrongly blamed just now, and felt a little guilty in his heart. So, she decided to help, she is very skilled, and it is not difficult to deal with ordinary minions.
After a cup of tea, the rich man Sun and his men, all with blue noses and swollen faces, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy. After Lin Yuchen robbed them of all the money on them, he let them go.
Zhao Gongming was very surprised to see Lin Yuchen stretching out his hand so well, and at the same time, he was very grateful to Lin Yuchen for saving him, but as an official of the imperial court, he did not approve of using extralegal means to deal with things, so he said: "Girl, these are ill-gotten gains, let's return them to others." ”
Lin Yuchen was surprised: "Why do you want to retreat?" Shouldn't they be punished for doing bad things? ”
If they do bad things, they will naturally be punished by the king's law. ”
Just now, when they bullied me, why didn't Wang Fa show up? ”
Zhao Gongming was speechless.
Lin Yuchen said again: "Don't forget, I saved you just now, and you still owe me a favor." ”
Zhao Gongming saw that he couldn't persuade Lin Yuchen, so he had to give up, he was a person with clear grievances, although he didn't agree with Lin Yuchen's approach, but just now Lin Yuchen helped him get out of danger, he was still very grateful, so he said: "What the girl said is that it is the new county order, and if you have difficulties in the future, you can go to the county office to find me." ”
Are you a prefectural magistrate? Lin Yuchen was shocked, since ancient times, officials and bandits have not been separated, but fortunately, she has not revealed her identity yet, so she hurriedly bid farewell to Zhao Gongming and walked towards the house of the rich man Sun, ready to take away something valuable.
At this time, Sun Caizhu was seriously injured, so he followed the doctor's advice and stayed in the clinic for a night of observation.
Lin Yuchen found Rich Sun's house, and saw that Rich Sun's house was a large compound, so she climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and found a huge attic in the courtyard, and the attic gate was locked by a huge lock. Lin Yuchen guessed that there must be a priceless treasure hidden in the attic, otherwise he would not have used such a big lock, so Lin Yuchen decided to go to the rich man's room and steal the key to the giant lock.
Rich Sun's yard is very large, and Lin Yuchen is not familiar with the terrain of the compound, she searched for a night, only in the early morning, found Rich Sun's bedroom, she wanted to enter the room to steal the key, but heard someone talking in the room.
It was Mrs. Sun's wife who spoke, known as Mrs. Sun, and Mrs. Sun's thirteen-year-old stupid son, known as Ertun.
I only heard the second stunned and said: "Mother, last night, Aunt Jiu took advantage of her father's absence to go to the grove with a bald uncle to ......."”
Mrs. Sun hurriedly covered her stunned mouth: "Wait until your father comes back." ”
It turned out that Aunt Jiu was the concubine recently accepted by the rich man Sun, and she was the most favored by the rich man Sun. Mrs. Sun felt the cold, she had long wanted to get rid of Aunt Jiu, but when she was doing things at home last night, she found that Aunt Nine was actually on good terms with a monk. So, Mrs. Sun wanted to reveal the matter to the rich man Sun, but the second stunned seemed to have discovered the secret of Aunt Jiu. In order not to startle the snake, Mrs. Sun hurriedly asked the second stunned not to talk nonsense, and waited for the rich man Sun to come back.
Lin Yuchen was outside the room, and when he heard them talking, he frowned, and said in his heart: This family's life style is too chaotic! But that wasn't what she wanted to hear, and when she saw the white of the fish's belly on the horizon, she climbed over the wall and left, ready to do it the next night.
After a while, the rich man returned home and had dinner with his family. Mrs. Sun kicked and was stunned, and reminded: "Son, what do you want to say?" ”
The second stunned reacted and said, "Dad, a few days ago, Aunt Nine took advantage of your absence to go to the grove with a bald uncle to ...... in the woodsI did one, something that my mother and Uncle Wang next door also did! ”
Mrs. Sun was dumbfounded, and said in her heart: How did this second stunned reveal my affairs?
After hearing Er's stunned words, the rich man Sun was stunned, and let Erstunned continue to finish, and after that, he knew that Mrs. Sun and Aunt Jiu had brought him a green hat, and he was stunned for a son, so he wouldn't even be stunned and not his own, right? Thinking of this, the rich man Sun went crazy, and in a fit of rage, he ordered someone to kidnap Mrs. Sun and Aunt Jiu.
Rich Sun felt that he had snubbed Mrs. Sun, and it was understandable that Mrs. Sun betrayed him, but Aunt Jiu was different, she was his favorite concubine, so he asked: "Old Jiu, I treat you well on weekdays, why do you betray me?" ”
Aunt Jiu glared at the rich man Sun and said viciously: "You killed my parents, and you treat me well?" ”
It turned out that Aunt Jiu's parents were originally farmers, and they made a living by planting crops, however, two months ago, the crops in Pixian County were preparing for a bumper harvest, but suddenly a locust plague occurred, and the locusts devoured all the crops. Aunt Jiu's family soon ran out of food, and Aunt Jiu's parents gave the only remaining food to Aunt Jiu to eat in order to keep her alive, but they were starved to death, and Aunt Jiu's family was surrounded by walls, so they had to sell themselves to bury their parents. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was soon favored by the rich man Sun, who also promised to take the remains of her parents to the Sun Mansion and invite the monk to do the work and bury her ceremoniously.
At first, Aunt Jiu was very grateful to Rich Master Sun, but then she found that Rich Master Sun raised a lot of grasshoppers in the attic. Sun Caizhu had hoarded a lot of grain before, and after the locust plague, he immediately sold his grain at a higher price and made a lot of money.
After Aunt Jiu knew the truth, she resented the rich man Sun, but she couldn't do anything about him, after all, the rich man Sun was very wealthy in Pi County, and even the previous county commander was afraid of him, not to mention that she was a woman. However, when she saw a monk named Bujie coming to do things, she immediately had a way to take revenge on the rich man, that is, to bring him a green hat. Aunt Nine thought too much, when the rich man Sun knew that his beloved concubine had cuckolded him, and that person was still a monk, the rich man Sun would definitely be so angry that life would be worse than death!
Now, after the rich man Sun found out what Aunt Jiu had done, he was really furious and ordered someone to tie up the monk who did not quit, and together with Aunt Nine and Mrs. Sun, he was locked up in the attic and fed to the grasshoppers!
After entering the master, Lin Yuchen came to the rich man's house again, and she quickly stole the key to the giant lock, but when she used the key to open the giant lock and pushed open the attic door, she didn't see any treasures inside, and saw hundreds of boxes immediately placed, the boxes were full of grasshoppers, and there were three people lying on the ground, all of them were crawling with grasshoppers, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Lin Yuchen took a look and recognized that there was a monk who was not a monk. She once owed the unquit monk and said that she would compensate him, so Lin Yuchen probed the unquit monk's snort with her hand, and when she saw that she was still angry, she decided to rescue him first, and then come back to find the treasure.
Lin Yuchen carried the unprecepted monk on his back, climbed over the wall and left the Sun Mansion, and walked towards the county office. Before, Zhao Gongming still owed her a favor, but now, she wants Zhao Gongming to repay her favor and help her wake up the unquit monk. Because she is not familiar with the road conditions in the city, it is not easy to find a doctor. When Lin Yuchen came to the gate of the county office, he happened to meet Zhao Gongming going out, only to see that Zhao Gongming was followed by dozens of catchers.
One of them quickly recognized Lin Yuchen and shouted, "That woman is a bandit, don't let her run away!" ”
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Lin Yuchen didn't want to entangle, so he hurriedly put down the monk and jumped onto the roof. Seeing that Lin Yuchen was about to escape, the catchers shot arrows at her one after another. Lin Yuchen used his sleeve to block the feather arrow, and said loudly: "Zhao Gongming, you are ungrateful, you actually asked someone to shoot me with an arrow!" ”
Zhao Gongming hurriedly stopped shooting. Lin Yuchen snorted coldly, walked quickly before escaping from the roof, and disappeared after a while.
Zhao Gongming found the unprecepted monk on the ground, so he asked someone to wake him up. When the monk saw Zhao Gongming, he told the story of the rich man Sun raising grasshoppers in the attic. After hearing this, Zhao Gongming guessed that the reason for the appearance of a large number of victims may be related to the grasshoppers raised by Sun Caizhu. So, Zhao Gongming immediately took people to Sun Caizhu's house, and after finding the attic, he rescued the ninth aunt inside. After Aunt Jiu was saved, she told Zhao Gongming about the conspiracy of the rich man Sun.
After Zhao Gongming learned of Sun's conspiracy, he collected some evidence at Sun's house, and then put Sun's Caizhu in prison.
However, the main task of Zhao Gongming's trip is still to exterminate the bandits. So, he continued to send people to find out the whereabouts of the bandits.
However, the strange thing is that since the rich man Sun Fu Fa, the bandits in Pixian County have evaporated like the world overnight, and they have never appeared again in the following time.
It turned out that most of the thieves in Pixian County came from farmers, and they were oppressed by the rich man Sun before, and they really couldn't survive anymore, so they could only fall into the grass. Now that the rich man was imprisoned, and no one was oppressing them, they continued to go back to the fields and grow crops for a living.
