Dangtu County, the fox thief was sitting in the mountain village and thinking carefully. Now it is becoming increasingly difficult to get involved in a bandit. Fortunately, he occupied a position first and was not the main business route, and secondly, he rarely did robbery.

The fox thief was originally named Hu Zhenyong. He was a scholar in Dangtu County. He was born at the age of 12 and became a scholar at the age of 13. He studied hard for three years and passed the imperial examination. He was a famous child prodigy far and wide.

At a literary meeting, I met Qingxue, a polite and elegant man by the Qinhuai River. The woman was graceful and charming, and the two made an appointment to celebrate her old age.

Hu Zhen used his average family background and tried hard to save money to redeem Miss Qingxue. Unfortunately, the madam was greedy for money and sold Qingxue to a salt merchant in Yangzhou.

Although Hu Zhenyong was a scholar, he was quite chivalrous. After learning the news, he rushed to Yangzhou by boat, burned the Salt Merchants House on a bridal night and stole Miss Qingxue.

The two fled all the way, and the salt merchants had a relationship. Hu Zhenyong became a thief and had nowhere to stand. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in chaos and bandits were everywhere.

Hu Zhenyong was unwilling to defect to the bandits, so he simply recruited several servants and refugees to occupy the mountains and become kings in Mashan near his hometown Dangtu.

The government wanted to be arrested, so he simply called himself a fox thief, which was why he became famous as a fox thief.

After falling into the grass, he disdained to make things difficult for ordinary people, and refused to do something to kill people and seize money. At the beginning, he just cultivated himself. Although he was not rich, he was happy to be free.

But later, the Ming Dynasty became more and more chaotic, and more and more people surrendered. It was difficult to support the people on the mountain by relying closely on farming.

Thinking of being bullied by the salt dealer, he simply took his subordinates to do private salt. Anyway, even if you are a bandit, what's the point of selling private salt?

Once this private salt business was launched, this group of bandits gradually became private salt dealers. If an ordinary small vendor would dare to arrest him, the government would simply turn a blind eye to such an armed force.

Therefore, the fox thief did not rob, did not do evil, and sold private salt tightly. He had avoided several large-scale thieves in the Jinyiwei in the past two years.

However, recently, the prince should have gone south, and the Jiangnan area was afraid that these bandits would cause trouble. If it was heard by the prince, it would be a black hat.

Therefore, various checkpoints in various places have increased a lot, which indirectly affected their business. Because a White Lotus Sect riot bandit appeared in Poyang Lake, the new army went south, which made him even more worried.

Hu Zhenyong is a person who has read books. Every time his subordinates go out, he will ask him to bring back the latest newspaper. As the saying goes, the fox and thief know the world without going out!

The new army compiled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty can quell the rebellious bandits and drive away Jiannu and win every battle. Such a record is beyond the imagination of these bandits.

Not to mention that these new troops are coming to deal with him, even the Jinyiwei Tiqi gathered in Jiangnan cannot compete with them.

If you are half of the bandits, you will either just pass by or you will simply not be able to escape and run away if you run away.

But Hu Zhenyong really doesn't think so. To be honest, he has become tired after being a bandit over the years. As the saying goes, the Holy Emperor is in power, and it is a time for great success. How can a real man die of Lin Quan?

In recent years, he has made a lot of money by selling private salt. This time he simply sent his confidants to the government to dispose of the case. In today's terms, he planned to clean up his shores.

A young woman came over behind her, and Hu Zhen smiled slightly: "You are here, you have a body, why do you still do these things? Just let Xiao Cui do it."

The young woman smiled and was full of charm: "I have been working hard these two days, so I can't help you. I cooked lotus seeds and heart-raising porridge for you. I'll drink it while it's hot. I added rock sugar."

Hu Zhen took the tray and said with a smile: "Thank you, my wife, let's have a meal together. Lady, sit down quickly, don't get angry."

The young woman frowned gently, and Hu Zhen asked nervously: "What's wrong?"

Qingxue touched her belly and looked kind: "The little guy kicked me... She must be a boy if she is so naughty."

Hu Zhen looked at Qingxue's belly with anticipation: "Hello boy! Hello boy!"

Qingxue asked worriedly, "What if it's a girl?"

Hu Zhen held Qingxue's hand: "Girl is okay, girls will love others, we'll just be born."

Hu Zhen said proudly: "By my ability, if we are a daughter, we are also well-educated. If we are a son, let him study for the top scorer!"

Qingxue's eyes turned red when she heard this: "My husband, I'm not good. If it weren't for me, you would have been the top scorer. Now I'm really because I'm staying in this mountain nest as a bandit..."

Hu Zhen laughed: "The most correct thing I, Hu Zhen, used in my life, is that night. Everything is worth it for you. If you didn't have you, even if you were admitted to the top scorer and become a Cabinet Grand Secretary, I wouldn't be happy!"

Qingxue blushed: "My husband said this and I'm sorry for me, I..."

Hu Zhenyong was afraid that she would think of this sad thing again: "I arranged for Xie Yuwen to go to Dangtu County, and I believe it will be done soon. In the future, we will not be called Mashanzhai, but will be replaced by Mashan Hujiabao.

I have asked Xie Yuwen to buy several nearby mountains! After the money is used to eliminate the case, we will no longer be bandits, but normal families, and our children can also study and take the imperial examination in the future."

Qingxue was still unwilling to give up: "It would be great if you can restore your academic status as a juren. You have the talent of the top scholar, I am..."

Hu Zhen held her hand: "I won't win the No. 1 pick, because my good luck has been used up."

Qingxue was surprised: "Why did my husband say that?"

Hu Zhen looked at Qingxue affectionately: "Because my greatest luck in my life is meeting you."

Qingxue blushed and said shyly: "My husband will mess with others."

The two of them were so scrupulous, but Hu Zhenyong hadn't had that reaction for several months: "Madam, can you please treat Xiao tonight?"

Qingxue nodded shyly: "Well! Call Xiao Cui to serve you together. The porridge is cold, my husband, let's drink porridge."

The two went back to their room that night... 10,000 words omitted...

The next morning, Hu Zhen became refreshed and just arrived outside the hall for a commotion. When Hu Zhenyong arrived, a group of people watched the monkey coming back from the north river.

Hu Zhen frowned and asked, "What's the noise!"

The monkey ran over and said, "The boss, there are so many big ships on the river! There are only a dozen cannons in one boat, and I'm afraid there are one or two hundred, and we are all the way upstream."

Hu Zhen was silent for a while: "Then why are you excited! They are fighting against the White Lotus Sect's bandits, what does it have to do with us!"

The monkey touched his head awkwardly: "I haven't seen it before, but it's spectacular. The White Lotus Sect bandits are about to be finished!"

Hu Zhen nodded: "Rebellion in a peaceful and prosperous era is a long time to die. He is stupid and does this! What should you do? I heard that the new army is stationed in Jinling. We are only more than a hundred miles away from Nanjing. We must be vigilant at any time!"
