Your majesty has a flower on his head

It was already daylight, Shen Tang and Nuo Wen went down the mountain, intending to tell the villagers the good news that Guisha Village had been razed, and then call someone to deal with the bodies of the robbers washed down the mountain by water, but they saw Jiang Jiang on the narrow mountain road. Scholar.

His clothes were dirty, torn in many places, his face was bruised, his hair was in a mess, and his appearance was in a mess. Not far from him, there was a dripping corpse.

Seeing Shen Tang and Nuo Wen coming out from the cover of the bushes, the expression on his face relaxed, and he saluted them respectfully.

Shen Tang was surprised and said, "Jiang Xiucai, why are you here?"

Jiang Xiucai's face was calm: "I'll wait here. If the two of you fail, I'll save the corpses for you two." When he said this, he fixed his eyes on Shen Tang's face and observed his expression carefully. He just raised his eyebrows without showing any anger, and then he continued, "But I think you are more likely to succeed. After you set off, I followed immediately. When I saw the bodies washed down the mountain by the water, I knew I won my bet."

Shen Tang relayed Jiang Xiucai's words to Nuo Wen, Nuo Wen blinked his eyes, looked at Shen Tang, Shen Tang was smiling at her, eyes met, completed a message exchange, when Nuo Wen turned his face to look at Jiang Xiucai again , could not help showing a bit of inquiry and curiosity in his expression.

What does he want to do?

This is what Shen Tang wanted to know, he took out his fan and shook it, and asked with a smile: "Jiang Xiucai, do you have something to tell us?"

Although Shen Tang used to talk to the ministers in the past, he often played around the corners, but in fact he still prefers a direct way of communication. Jiang Xiucai looked at Shen Tang in surprise, and cooperated with Shen Tang's way wisely, and said straight to the point: " That's right, I do have something to say to Mr. Shen." He pondered, "Does Mr. Shen want to build the No. [-] villa in the world on this mountain?"

In a small village, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, this scholar is not an easy one. Shen Tang only mentioned the world's No. [-] village once, and I don't know how this scholar reasoned to this point.

Shen Tang closed the fan with a snap, tapped lightly on the palm of his hand, glanced at Nuowen with confused eyes, leaned over and lowered his head, and whispered something in her ear, Nuowen really Also showed a look of surprise.

Shen Tang smiled, and admitted generously: "This place is pretty good."

Jiang Xiucai met Shen Tang's gaze, and said very sincerely: "I want to join, I wonder if Mr. Shen would like to accept me?"

Shen Tang twirled the fan in his hand: "No. [-] village in the world doesn't accept people casually."

Jiang Xiucai showed a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Shen would like to give me a chance to prove my worth?"

"Oh—" Shen Tang said, "How to prove it?"

He covered half of his face with a fan, and murmured to Nuo Wen about the conversation between himself and Jiang Xiucai. Of course, the number one village in the world cannot always be the two of them. Listening to Jiang Xiucai's speech here, in fact, he has already conveyed the meaning of "I am willing to give you a chance". It is precisely because of his thoughts that Jiang Xiucai just laughed.

Jiang Xiucai patiently waited for Shen Tang and Nuo Wen to finish their private conversation, and then said calmly and confidently: "We will start by helping Mr. Shen take Luojia Mountain!"

"Luojia Mountain?"

"It's Guisha Mountain, and Luojia Mountain is its original name."

"Oh, tell me, I leveled the ghost village with Xianzun, so don't I have the right to occupy this mountain?"

"It's not impossible to occupy the mountain as king." Jiang Xiucai said, "Unless Mr. Shen wants the number one village in the world to become the second ghost village."

He, Shen Tang, can see the beauty of the location of Guisha Village in Luojia Mountain, but it doesn’t mean that others can’t see it. A group of robbers can occupy this place for nearly ten years without falling down. It’s not because of their wisdom or their strength. Luojia Mountain has a dangerous location, and Guisha Village is a natural military fortress, which can be attacked and defended. Only one checkpoint on the line of sky can be called a pass for one man, unless you have wings and can walk from Fly up from the back of the mountain, otherwise, even if a sparrow wants to get close to Guisha Village, it will not be able to escape the eyes of the guards.

The possibility of successfully attacking the mountain at night is lower than that during the day. The rugged and narrow mountain roads are difficult. The dense woods are dark enough in the daytime, but at night, no light can penetrate, and it is easy to get lost. Another difficulty.

On the narrow road with a line of sky, there are many stones, which are wet and slippery, and there are many moss growing on the stones. For the convenience of walking and not to damage the slippery moss, the robbers cleared a line of "footprints" on the narrow road. You have to walk on this line of footprints. At night, if you don't light a candle, you can't see the "footprints" on the ground clearly with a pair of eyes. The most troublesome thing is that the cliffs on both sides of the narrow road are covered with stones. With a light touch, there will be a crisp sound, but there are still the most stones on the narrow road.

Only with the cooperation of a master of qinggong like Shen Tang and Nuowen's pair of elven eyes that see things at night as in daytime, can he dive up the mountain from the first line of sky without making a sound.

Therefore, once people know that the ghost village has been wiped out, anyone who knows the value of the ghost village will not be tempted. If the news is leaked to the government, the government will issue an order to seize the mountain, even if they are tempted, it will be useless Yes, unless you want to fight against the government, please trouble yourself.

This is also a problem that troubles Shen Tang. What he wants is not only his status in the world, but also the attention of the government. If the number one village in the world wants to be able to speak in the martial arts world, he must also let those officials buy his face. It is easy to fall into the grass and become a bandit, but it is difficult to be upright.

"Mr. Jiang, do you have a trick?"

Jiang Xiucai smiled and said: "Miao can't be calculated, but there is a way. It depends on whether Mr. Shen dares to believe me once."

Later, Shen Tang often sighed: "Those who have never dealt with me, when they talk about me, they always like to describe me as a ruthless person with terrible methods and deep palaces, saying that the emperor's mind is like a tiger, just like them It's like being tricked by me, but in fact, I have always been an open-minded and open-minded man, my heart is not dark at all, especially compared with Mr. Jiang..."

The corpses of a total of forty robbers, including the eight who were killed in Songgui Village, were cut off by the villagers whose relatives were killed. The heads were all chopped off, and they were placed in the baskets that the villagers used to hold grain, covered with hay, and used Covered with an oilcloth, he was quietly sent to the county government office.

And the amount of real gold and silver, which is enough to make one's heart beat, was quietly delivered to the relevant officials before the heads in the basket were found.

Letting them see the bloody things with their own eyes is far more deterrent than the sentence "the robbers were all killed". He didn't dare to listen to this matter, didn't dare to ask, and even took the initiative to help cover it up. The silver things that were sent were probably so frightened that he didn't dare to enjoy them himself. For any benefit, because he was anxious to get rid of the gold and silver that made him have nightmares again and again, he was caught and became a victim in the officialdom battle.

Jiang Xiucai's move was ruthless and damaging, so it may not be without the intention of revenge.

At the same time, the property looted by the robbers in Guishazhai was also distributed to the people who had been persecuted by the robbers in the ten miles and eight townships in the name of "No. [-] village in the world". I was also specifically told not to speak up.

Jiang Xiucai smiled: "The more you keep them secret, the more they want to tell others, let them hold back first, wait until the songs and scripts are compiled, and the songs are taught to children, and then hire a storyteller to comment in the teahouse restaurant , the deeds of the two villa owners have become widely circulated stories in the neighborhood. Those people who have been hurt by the robbers and benefited from us will spontaneously promote our number one village in the world. At that time, our benevolence and kindness will dilute the ghosts. With the news that the village was wiped out, people's attention will shift from the No. [-] village in the world built in Guisha village to the two owners... I made a list of some well-known mountain bandit dens, and the two village owners. If the Lord strikes while the iron is hot and wipes out the banditry on these hills in one fell swoop, then no one will have the nerve to bring up the issue of the ownership of Guisha Village. Isn’t it a matter of course that it belongs to the No. [-] village in the world?”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Xiucai, who had a particularly honest and honest face, smiled modestly, "Whether it is in the officialdom or in the world, whoever has a hard fist, whoever has a thick skin, whoever is the most shameless, is the boss, the two owners, do you think this is the case?"

Your Majesty is cool, handsome and domineering: So, it's really not my fault that the No. [-] village in the world was called "brazen" later. (innocent face
