Chapter 13 Righteous Village (1)
Chapter 13 Yizhuang (1)()
The night fell slowly, and the entire Zhifang Town also ordered the city gate to be closed early because of the martial law letter from Wuchang Mansion that the master of Jiangxia County had just received in the afternoon. The city was supposed to be crowded with yelling passengers and bird walkers, and there were closed doors everywhere. In addition to the patrol of the commuters and night watches, there were few shouting sounds in the town. Even the fireworks place where ordinary people came and went, there were many turtle men and madams. The exaggerated greetings of the madams. Perhaps except for the tobacco shop, other places felt the current decay in the province. The Qing Dynasty occupied the Han people for hundreds of years and was about to be lost... The masters in this town felt anxious, but they could not affect a person's mood at all. Now, Wuli, the southern suburbs of Zhifang Town
The charity village outside was now cursing and shouting. Under the nearly a hundred huge lanterns, the charity village, which was like a small town, gradually became lively with the arrival of night and the arrival of tax collectors. Perhaps for Kui Sheng and his charity village, who were once a horse thief, night was the beginning of their day's harvest... "Kui is wise. Since the brothers followed you and were recruited by the court, a battalion of patrol guards was given. We are now on the territory of Zhifang Town. No one can give you three points of face when they see him. Even if it is his county magistrate, carry a box of silver over, is it still what we say? Haha, happy... it's much more comfortable than hiking into the mountains and forests every day..."
Compared with the three courtyards on the left and right sides of the Yizhuang, the firelight soaring into the sky and the sound of drinking inviting wine, the main hall of the Yizhuang, Zhongyi Hall, was undoubtedly much deserted, because in the hall, except for Kui Sheng, who was sitting high above the tiger's skin in the center of the hall, there were only 8 strong men in the hall, and a few maids dressed in red silk pastors. Although one of them had tears in his eyes, there were a stiff smile on his face. He was hugged by a scarred face slapped Kui Sheng's horse flattery. His hand was even more irregularly inserted into the maid's underwear, and was laughing and voluntarily!
The other people in the hall knew his temperament, and they were not surprised, either drinking water or talking in a low voice, as if they hadn't seen it!
These eight people are the eight great kings under Kui Sheng. In this Jiangxia realm, their reputation is no less than that of Kui Sheng. If it is cruel, I am afraid that there are still a few of them.
Mr. Kui Sheng is a tall and strong middle-aged man. After years of hard work, he has been working in the wind and rain. He either faces the pursuit of the government army or needs to deal with the hostility of other horse thieves. Sometimes he even has to fight with the servants of landlords from all over the country. Such an experience has long made his originally tall and thin figure become wider. Seeing that he had not spoken in the hall, the man who was holding a little maid in his arms and flattered him first. However, the expression on Kui Sheng's face was not a trace of pride, but instead frowned in a faint way.
"You guys, go down! Remember to bring the door with you!"
He signaled the maids in the hall to go out. The little maid who was first held in the despaired face suddenly felt a little bit of energy on her originally desperate face. She struggled and suddenly broke away from the man's arms. Her chest was covered with disheveled clothes, and it seemed that the bellyband on her chest had been untidy. She was holding it in her hand and smelling the fragrance on her bellyband.
"Yes, Master..."
Several maids hurried out of the hall, but before leaving, they changed a glass of water for each of them, and then closed the door and left!
"The accounting department has counted all the income this month... and then... Is there anything else to say?"
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Kui Sheng sneered on his face, picked up an account book next to him, and threw it to the man closest to him who was eating pastries on the table next to him.
The man didn't care yet, but when he casually opened the account book that Kui Sheng threw over, he underestimated him for a few seconds, and his expression suddenly became strange. He looked at it, as if he was not sure, and quickly flipped it from beginning to end, then he handed it to another person next to him, lowered his head and was speechless!
"How about it, my second brother. You have been with me for the longest time. Do you see anything?"
Kui Sheng groaned, and his sneered even more.
"this……"
“…”
After circling the account book in the hands of the people in the hall, it returned to Kui Sheng's hand again. However, facing Kui Sheng's questioning, no one dared to touch it, because they all discovered that this time, the Kui Ye, who never expressed his joy in front of him, was really angry!
"The second-year-old team paid 6,238 taels of silver this month, 120 rolls of cloth, 30 fast guns, and 3 good horses, 60% less than last month..."
"Tiger head team paid 6,180 taels of silver this month, 115 rolls of cloth, 30 fast guns, and 4 good horses, which is 50% less than last month..."
"Hezi's five teams paid 5,831 taels of silver this month, 120 rolls of cloth, 25 fast guns, and 2 good horses, 60% less than last month..."
"You poisoned tiger teams are 6,310 taels of silver this month, 85 rolls of cloth, 20 fast guns, 0 good horses, 50% less than last month..."
"And your team of loaches has paid 5,780 taels of silver this month, 100 rolls of cloth, 25 fast guns, 2 good horses, 6.5% less than last month..."
"Hmph, you Wang San has also made some tricks for me. This month, you paid 7,280 taels of silver, 130 rolls of cloth, 30 quick guns, and 5 good horses, which is 4.5% less than last month..."
"Xiaoyan has only been in recently, so it would be fine if there is a little less... But Scar... I have arranged for you the fattest villages in the Lu family. Look at what you paid for me. There are 8,430 taels of silver, 120 rolls of cloth, 50 quick guns, and 5 good horses, which is 75% less than last month... Scar, can you explain the reason to me? Humph!"
Kui Sheng's face was chilly, and recently he also heard the news of his subordinates. It seemed that some people felt that their hands were strong and their wings were hard, and they began to become interested in the tiger skin under his butt. In particular, many people were rumored that he had swallowed the silver in the Zhao family for hundreds of years, which made the private atmosphere in the charity village become strange in recent times... The scar in his mouth was the scar face that teased the little maid before. Kui Sheng was dissatisfied with him for a long time. No one knew that the hundreds of brothers in this charity village were his personal belongings. Among the eight great Vajras under his command, who dared to be arrogant in front of him, besides his adopted son, the former adopted son of the old dragon head (Kui Sheng's father-in-law), who dared to be arrogant in front of him?
Xiang Kui Sheng treated him well. Among the eight major Vajras under his command, the number of horse teams with Scars was more than 300. More than 70% of the wealthy lands near the Paper Floor were thrown to him. But he not only took the lead in revising the rules of handing over 70%, but also privately attracted his subordinates. Now, there are only five or six hundred people who are following him! It has reached the point of threatening him!
For the increasingly rampant horse thieves under his command, he knew that for horse thieves, strength was the key to others' loyalty. Therefore, for these subordinates who were obviously swaying between Scarface and him, although he wanted to kill them one by one, he had to wait until he solved Scar.
"Why is there no news on one eye? It's because Scar did it secretly?"
The chill on his face was even heavier, and Kui Sheng's eyes locked on Scarface. A few months ago, when he was clashing with another group of horse thieves who were rampant in Jiangxia, his only confidant was also the leader of the former Eighth Team who was sent by him to monitor Scar. He lost his life unexpectedly. There was no way. Only then did Xiao Hongxin find a few clever servants, including one eye stuffed into Scarface's hands. He has performed well during this period. Although he only helped him win over a small team from Scar, he never made any mistakes. Many useful news came from Scar.
Scar had no need to be himself because of his strength, and he also knew that Team Eight had done a bit too much, so he also maintained a default attitude towards him putting his subordinates into his team. But it does not mean that he would not be wronged. First, he contacted the Ma family siblings privately, and then swallowed the little Huangzhuang he called for him. It was not impossible for him to be unable to resist his temper and want to get rid of one eye. Otherwise, how could he have not come back to report the news to him now.
