When Zhao Tieniu heard Ximen Qing’s request, he was shocked and said in a lost voice: “Ximen Female Hero, the Fan Family in Yanggu is a family of scholars and officials. There are several civil servants from the ninth rank in the family!”

"You Liangshan are afraid of the three old men from the ninth grade of the Fan family?" Ximen Qing stared at Zhao Tieniu, "Brother Thirty-sixth, have you been in the gang for too short and don't know the market conditions in Yunzhou, right?"

"I know a little about this, but this matter is still very important..."

Zhao Tieniu knew what kind of role Liangshan was on the ground in the five states including Yunzhou, Qizhou, Yanzhou, Jeju and Puzhou, but he was still very afraid of the possibility of causing the death of officials.

Ximen Qing sneered, "You can't make the decision on this matter. Let's talk to Chief Chao on the mountain, Chief Song. And I won't ask you brothers from Liangshan to work in vain, and you are indispensable for the rewards."

While she was talking, the strong men from the Ximen family who followed her had already carried four black wooden boxes in and placed them side by side in front of Zhao Tieniu.

"Open!"

With Ximen Qing's order, four boxes were lifted open at the same time.

hiss!

Zhao Tie-New suddenly took a breath.

The silver light shone in front of me, almost dazzled my eyes.

Looking closely, it turned out to be a straight silver. Zhao Tieniu suddenly looked up and looked at Ximen Qing in surprise, thinking: Where did the Fan family provoke Ximen Qing? He actually spent a lot of money to deal with them?

In this era, news spread quite slowly. Zhao Tieniu, who was in Xucheng County, still doesn’t know what happened a day ago.

As for Ximen Qing encountering a lewd, Zhao Tieniu knows more than anyone else! Oh, what he knows is not Ximen Qing meeting a lewd, but Ximen Qing became a lewd and slept with Wu Haogu's God of Wealth... Looking at Ximen Qing's figure, he is probably pregnant with someone else's cub. Now that Pan Qiaolian is so depressed!

Ximen Qing pointed to four wooden boxes and said, "This is three thousand taels of silver. If exchanged at the market, five thousand coins can be exchanged. This silver is a reward for the heroes of Liangshan to 'eat'. After the matter is completed, there will be seven thousand taels of silver for offering."

The ten thousand taels of silver used to buy the heroes of Liangshan was naturally given by Wu Haogu... It is part of Ximen Qing's "selling money". The transaction of buying and selling Ximen Female Heroes is definitely a "gentleman transaction".

Grandma Ximen didn't mention the money at all, which meant that Wu Dalang gave it to him casually... Even if it was a penny, Ximen Qing would happily go to be a concubine for Wu Haogu. Wu Haogu brought 20,000 taels of silver out to "buy" Ximen Qing. For Wu Dalang, Ximen Qing was a priceless treasure!

"And I don't want you to destroy the entire Fan family," Ximen Qing said with a smile, "There is no need to kill the three old guys with official positions. You only need to invite a few male men from the Fan family to join Liangshan."

It is easy to break the Fanjiazhuang, because the Fan family is inherited from poetry and rituals, and its combat effectiveness is equal to zero. You can see the Fan family archers who were beaten by Kaifeng in Yanggu County. These people are still people who are better at fighting with the Fan family!

But Ximen Qing also knew the work style of the heroes of Liangshan, especially Song Heizi, that it was fine to let them break the Fanjiazhuang, but it was impossible to kill all the men of the Fan family. The irrelevant people might kill some, but Fan Jiu Xiucai, Fan Shisan Xiucai, and the three ninth-rank sesame officials of the Fan family would definitely not kill them.

However, Ximen Qing didn't need Liangshan to kill all the male members of the Fan family. She just wanted to dig up the Fan family's roots in Yanggu County and did not need to destroy the Fan family's door.

Zhao Tieniu asked uncertainly: "Just invite a few Fan family members to the mountain to join the gang?"

Ximen Qing added: "There are also necessary to send more heroes to send at least 000 troops."

000 robbers are not a small number!

The reality is not "Water Margin". There are tens of thousands of robbers at every turn. So many robbers are still staying in Liangshan? They have gone down the mountain to seize the Song Dynasty... They have saved them from being troubled by taking over the country, right?

Therefore, in reality, the Liangshan bandits have three leaders and more than 000 minions. Moreover, the Liangshan bandits do not all live on the mountain, because Liangshan is a very small mountain, less than 00 feet high (less than 200 meters), and the area is not large, so they cannot hide more than 000 thieves at all.

Besides, no one has ever stipulated that robbers must be a full-time job, right? The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were not full-time, let alone robbers? Moreover, there are more than 000 happy big and small families behind more than 000 thieves! How can you stay in the mountains all day without taking care of your family?

The heroes of Liangshan in "Water Margin" are almost all bachelors, and they don't know how to solve their physiological needs and reproduce their offspring? Without descendants, where will the successors of the bandit career come from?

In reality, most of the Liangshan robbers have wives and children... These people not only block the road and rob, but also charge protection fees and tolls, and their income is naturally high. How can they not marry a wife? If they can't afford to marry a wife, who will follow them to be a thief?

Therefore, the heroes of Liangshan are actually a group of "gangsters" entrenched around Liangshanpo, all of whom have families and families. The minions usually catch fish and farm, and only follow the leaders to go out to be thieves when needed.

The big bosses also have their own business, either local owners, fishermen, or brew private wine. The family is full of comfortable houses, and wives, concubines and servants serve them.

In fact, these people are similar to the Ximen family, all of which are "gangsters and evil forces". However, the Ximen family does not rob, so they are not bandits.

At that time, the area of ​​Liangshanpo was known as "thousands of ports and 800 miles around". The terrain was very complex and it was a hub for water transportation, so it was naturally easy for water bandits and bullies to appear. When they grew stronger, they formed the so-called "League of Liangshan".

If anyone runs to Liangshan to find a large number of bandits who fight against the imperial court under the banner of "taking the way for heaven", he will definitely be disappointed.

Zhao Tieniu, who took over Ximen Qing's big business in Xucheng City, did not go to climb Liangshan, but left the city and headed straight to Songjia Village at the foot of Liangshan Mountain. After walking dozens of miles to Songjia Village, he entered the largest and most luxurious house in the village, where Song Jiang, the famous Xiaoyi Heisanlang in the world...

...

"What? Fan Zhijin's wife was taken away by a thief from Kaifeng Mansion? No, wasn't Fan Jiu's wife gone long ago?"

At the same time, when Shi Guozhong, the Xuanfeng Lang, was listening to the county magistrate Zhang Kegong report the "despite case". Half of him heard that this old man who was only 50 years old and who was over 60 years old this year, stroked his white beard and asked in a Sichuan pronunciation.

"Xuan Feng, the one who was taken away was his fiancée." Zhang Kegong frowned and reported, "This is how the Fan family reported the case, this is the complaint."

As he spoke, he handed a complaint written by Fan Zhijin to Shi Da County Magistrate with both hands.

County Magistrate Shi Da took the complaint, opened it, nodded and praised: "Good words! You really deserve to be a talented man in Yanggu. This handwriting is really good... Well, the article is well done, and every word is gems, and it feels refreshing to read. It seems that Fan Jiu Xiucai will probably be a Jinshi in high school this time!"

What is this? Zhang Kegong smiled bitterly in his heart. You are always the magistrate to investigate cases, not the chief examiner of the imperial examination! Whether your handwriting is good or not, your article is good...it doesn't make sense, right?

"Xuanfeng," Zhang Kegong frowned, "Do you think Fan Jiu Xiucai's complaint makes sense?"

"Reason?" Shi Da Magistrate shook his head and said, "I don't think it makes sense... It's the hard truth to pass the Jinshi! As long as you pass, you will be as beautiful as a flower, and you will still put it on with a hundred thousand dowry. What's the hurry of Fan Jiu? In a few months, you might be a Jinshi. Are you still afraid of not having a wife? Besides, he has never asked for a wife, and he has even a son who has passed on his family line. Why are you still anxious?"

Zhang Kegong was really amused and crying. This magistrate Shi Da really had "one reason". It's just that his reason had nothing to do with the laws of the Song Dynasty, but his precious life experience.

Magistrate Shi Da was a boy who had been holding back for decades. He was not caught by the son-in-law in the high school Jinshi. His wife was the daughter of the Wan family, a giant merchant in Kaifeng. Yingying was eighteen years old and a flower-like girl, and she brought 100,000 yuan in marriage to his good cow dung that was called outside Donghua Gate.

However, Magistrate Shi Da was very good at this "little wife". He did not have any concubines (that was probably too weak), nor did he spend money outside, nor did he blame his wife for not having children, and he obeyed his wife's words... He was really a model husband!

"Then this..." Zhang Kegong asked, "What should I do about this case?"

In fact, it’s okay to just forget it. This case is a bit unreasonable... If the Fan family makes a rich businessman in Kaifeng Prefecture, they will just let them get some blood. But there are also some military officers in the Wu family! Zhang Kegong, as a civil servant, taught the domineering Wu Haogu a lesson, and it would be no benefit to keep pestering him.

Anyway, he has the courage to fight against the domineering military officer who is close to him, so that's all. It doesn't matter how the Fan family's bullshit lawsuit is fought.

"It's not OK to handle it like this," Shi Da County Magistrate shook his head. "Since the complaint has been submitted, the case will always be tried in the first instance... But I still want to persuade Fan Jiu to avoid trouble, and to concentrate on the center and respond to the action. If he is willing to withdraw the complaint, he will ask the thief to just pay a hundred and eighty dollars to him as a traitor to take the exam in Beijing."

"Okay, okay," Zhang Kegong nodded repeatedly, "Then the official told Fan Jiu Xiucai like that."

"Say it, just say that."

Magistrate Shi Da waved his hands repeatedly and sent Zhang Kegong. After sending it, Magistrate Shi Da immediately went to the back house to pay his wife a happy job.
Chapter completed!
