Chapter 14 Shanzhai, click)
Lu Yunbiao sat comfortably on the Grand Master's chair, and Xie Xiaomei was rubbing his shoulders beside him.
Lu Yunbiao turned out to be a blacksmith in the village. He relied on his ancestral ironwork to live, and the money he earned was able to support his family, but the situation in the first year of Qianfu changed tremendously.
Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao began to rebel, and the government suddenly increased the intensity and amount of tax collection, saying that it was the order of the court that it was necessary to wipe out the rebels. The war required a lot of expenses, and the money could only be borne by the people. Such measures directly made it difficult for the people in the village to live.
Lu Yunbiao was naturally affected. In the second year of Qianfu, he could not make money and his family could not maintain it. He took his family around and fled, like other people in the village, to avoid exploitation and arrest soldiers from the government.
Unfortunately, in the chaos of war, the situation everywhere is the same. On the way to escape, the old father, who had always been in good health, died, and his mother left because of too much grief. The two old men did not have the chance to return to their hometown. What's even more sad is that during the process of the government army pursuing refugees, the wife and child who had no time to escape were directly captured by the government army, and there was no news since then.
Since then, Lu Yunbiao's personality has changed drastically, hating the government and hating everything.
Lu Yunbiao, who had followed his father to make a blacksmith since he was a child, had a lot of brute force. He used all his strength to bewitch the refugees among the refugees. With a few words and actions, he called out a hundred or ten people, started to rob the family and started to go against the government.
Several years have passed, and the road has been bumpy and bumpy. Because he is not afraid of death, Lu Yunbiao has become famous and finally gained a foothold in Guanzhuang Town, Qingyuan County, which is affiliated to Bazhou.
After gaining fame, many people came to join us, gathering a thousand people from all over the world.
Lu Yunbiao's base camp is about 20 miles away from Guanzhuang Town. In the mountains, it is located at the junction of Wuling County and Qingyuan County. The official road passes through here and is a major transportation route. However, in terms of regional jurisdiction, it is a dark area under the lights, and neither county will basically not take care of it.
Lu Yunbiao's own quality is not high, and his subordinates are naturally incompatible, so he cannot restrain these people, so his reputation is not very good. Many people know that there is a group of bandits near Guanzhuang Town, who burn, kill, loot, do all kinds of evil and do all the bad things.
With too many people, they have to take care of eating, drinking, defecation and urination. Lu Yunbiao cannot completely ignore it. His abilities are limited and one person cannot control so many people, so several small leaders appeared among the bandits.
Lu Yunbiao has the "Four Great Kings" under his command, namely Hou Er, Yang Si, Huang Biao and Song Hu. Among them, Hou Er is a military advisor, who specializes in making suggestions and is always by Lu Yunbiao. The other three became small leaders second only to Lu Yunbiao and Hou Er, each leading hundreds of people, scattered around the village.
The Bazhou Prefecture Yamen, Wuling County, and Qingyuan County have also sent troops to encircle and suppress the troops several times. The soldiers sent by them are typical soldiers. These official troops are called bandit suppression, but they are actually disturbing the people. They burn, kill, loot and even better than bandits.
Seeing this, the people around Guanzhuang Town were already desperate about the government army. Yu Chenghui, the former Minister of Rites who returned to Guanzhuang Town, was plotted by others in the court. He simply came forward to reach an agreement with Lu Yunbiao to pay tribute to Lu Yunbiao every year, requiring that Lu Yunbiao not be able to rob the people of Guanzhuang Town. They would rather support Lu Yunbiao than serve the government army.
However, the people had to bear taxes from the court and also sent money and food to Lu Yunbiao, and their lives were even more miserable.
Because of the "peace of peace" in the local area, the Bazhou Prefecture Yamen, Wuling County, and Qingyuan County Yamen were too lazy to ask about Lu Yunbiao, the bandits.
After several robberies, Lu Yunbiao already had five wives who were stolen from the village, all of whom were stolen from the village over the years. Among them, Xie Xiaomei looked very good and had a gentle personality, which was deeply loved by Lu Yunbiao.
Song Hu, who was big and thick, walked into the Juyi Hall and clasped his fists and spoke to Lu Yunbiao, who was in the upper head.
"The master of the village, my brothers have been idle for a long time and want to go to Guanzhuang Town to have a look. Besides, the money and food have not been sent yet, so I happened to urge Yu Yuanwai."
"Song Hu, didn't Hou Er say that there is no big deal, so don't go to Guanzhuang Town. Since the clan has been discussed with Guanzhuang Town, if you have a word first, it's better not to go there casually."
"Brothers don't go to steal their things. Someone has hundreds of brothers under him. After more than a month of holding on, they are shouting to go out for a look. After a long time, they can't guarantee that they won't make trouble in the cottage."
"The brothers in the village are used to being wild, and now they are very worried. Yang Si and Huang Biao are also yelling to go out. It is not a big deal to continue like this. You have to discipline them well. Hou Er has told you a long time ago that if you want to gain a foothold here, you have to have food, drink and you have to restrain yourself, and you can't do some things."
Lu Yunbiao was a little embarrassed because he was almost obedient to Hou Er because of his lack of ability.
Song Hu looked at Lu Yunbiao's expression and felt very unhappy. You, Lu Yunbiao, are the leading brothers. Brothers must listen to you, but you can't care about enjoying alone. There are five women around you, all of them are beautiful, but so many brothers, many of them are not as good as women. After a long time, how can you hold it in? You are always in the parody and you can't vent your anger. After a long time, something will happen sooner or later.
Besides, that Hou Er is not yin or yang. Song Hu feels uncomfortable when he sees it, but he doesn't dare to offend him. After all, Lu Yunbiao trusts Hou Er very much and obeys the rules. Besides, Hou Er is really capable. If he offended Hou Er and makes Lu Yunbiao lose his temper, who knows what will happen?
"Master, you just approve some of your request and let your brothers go out for a walk, and some of your promise will not have any problems."
Lu Yunbiao fell into deep thought, and he also had his own considerations. Yang Si, Huang Biao, Song Hu and others were all very strong, and it was also the guarantee that he could firmly sit in the counterfeit village. If these people were too restricted, it would cause dissatisfaction among others and separate people's hearts, it would be difficult for the counterfeit village to survive.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yunbiao nodded.
"Okay, Song Hu, you have always treated your brothers well and have a good attitude. I won't say much. Take your brothers to go and come back early, and don't cause trouble in Guanzhuang Town."
"Thank you, the village leader."
Song Hu left Juyi Hall with excitement and hurried out.
Xie Xiaomei behind Lu Yunbiao's face twitched. She knew so much that these people were going down the mountain to do.
Song Hu had just gone out for a while, when Hou Er came in.
Seeing Hou Er come in, Xie Xiaomei immediately got up and left. Every time Hou Er comes, the women around Lu Yunbiao will avoid it, because there is important discussion between Lu Yunbiao and Hou Er, and women cannot listen to it.
Hou Er had no expression on his face, and he didn't even look at Xie Xiaomei.
Hou Er's prestige in the village is extraordinary, and it is not worse than Lu Yunbiao. The success of each operation in the village has condensed Hou Er's efforts. If it weren't for Hou Er's plan, the village would have been unable to be maintained. However, Hou Er's personality is a bit strange and makes people feel sarcastic, so there are almost no close friends in the village.
"Hou Er, is there anything wrong?"
"Master, I saw Song Hu coming. When I left, I was in high spirits. Are you ready to go down the mountain?"
Lu Yunbiao's face was not very good in an instant, but he still suppressed his temper.
"The brothers haven't gone down the mountain for a long time, and they are almost suffocating. Yang Si and Huang Biao have said that they have not allowed it. Song Hu is more cautious and takes his brothers down the mountain, so he won't cause any trouble. Besides, the filial piety from Guanzhuang Town has not been sent. Song Hu went to see the urge to urge him, it's no big deal."
Hou Er sighed and spoke slowly.
"The leader of the village misunderstood. It's not that the brothers cannot go out. The filial piety of Guanzhuang Town has not been sent up. You can go and urge it. But the copycat and Guanzhuang Town have a first word, so you have to do as agreed. Otherwise, the copycat will not be able to gain a foothold. Brothers have been holding it in such a long time, and after they go down, they may cause some trouble, and they will not look good at the time."
As soon as Hou Er finished speaking, Lu Yunbiao spoke.
"Damn it, what's so great? Even if the brothers go down to vent, they won't dare to do anything..."
There was still no expression on Hou Er's face, and he looked at Lu Yunbiao silently, but this was also the most annoying and guilty thing about Lu Yunbiao. Hou Er often said that the scale of the village should be expanded and had a certain vision and other words. These are not what Lu Yunbiao pursued. Life is just a few decades of war, and it is necessary to enjoy it when it is time to enjoy it. If you close your eyes, you don't know anything. The money you earned will be enjoyed, and the woman you snatched will be allowed to sleep with others. It is not worth it. Lu Yunbiao has no big ambitions. As long as you can live every day well, you will be satisfied.
"Hou Er, you understand what you mean. You want to find a good way out for your brothers, but the power of the copycat is not good, and only one thousand people can do anything big."
This time, Hou Er did not continue to remain silent.
"The master of the village, heroes come from troubled times. Don't look at the fact that the power of the village is not very good now. Being able to get the support of Guanzhuang Town is the biggest gain of the village. This is equivalent to the master of Guanzhuang Town. The power of the government in Guanzhuang Town is not as good as that of the village. I thought, don't worry, take it slowly, and you will definitely develop. Besides, Huang Chao rebelled, from the first year of Qianfu to the sixth year, everyone in the world knew that the village leader was not without a chance."
Although Hou Er was still talking with sincerity, Lu Yunbiao's attention had begun to shift. He stood up and walked a few steps to express his emotions that he did not want to continue listening.
When Lu Yunbiao turned his back, a cold light flashed through Hou Er's eyes.
When Lu Yunbiao turned around, Hou Er regained his calmness and remained expressionless.
"Hou Er, you understand what you mean. I will tell you what you want to brothers next time, so don't worry."
"The leader of the village, I just said that Yu Yuanwai was an official of the court before and had a significant impact in Guanzhuang Town, Qingyuan County and Bazhou. If the brothers cause any trouble in Guanzhuang Town, it is really hard to explain."
