The sturdy life of crossing

"me."

"Forget it," the little brother just uttered two words, but was interrupted by Jian Leyang waving his hand, "It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you don't join with these water bandits, after you clean up those guys, you will leave by yourself Follow us, it's up to you, stay here for now."

When Jian Leyang saw this boy, he knew that he was raised pampered. He was as delicate and tender as described by the water bandits before. The woman and boy next to him should be his servants, as long as they don't know what to do tonight Their real identities don't mean much in Jian Leyang's eyes, so they turned around and walked out after speaking, leaving the three dumbfounded. When they heard Jian Leyang's voice ordering his subordinates outside the door, their eyes lit up. Hopefully, maybe this masked man is really what he said, seeking revenge from these water bandits.

"Who? Stop!"

The man came out to relieve himself, and when he found someone walking outside recklessly, he immediately yelled loudly, but in a blink of an eye, he was bullied by someone, a knife was slashed on the back of the neck, and the man fell limply. At the same time, Jian Leyang gave a "bang" Kicking on the door panel at the back, the door panel was torn apart in an instant, Jian Leyang jumped in with the broken wood on top, Zhang Meng, Zhao Erhu and others quickly followed behind.

Although the people sleeping inside woke up when the yelling sounded outside, but Jian Leyang acted too quickly. He just got up from the bed and pulled out the knife when he saw a figure jumping in. Just as the knife was about to slash through, it was caught by a group of people. Kicking the center opening, the person flew upside down.

There was a lot of ping-pong-pong in the room, and the battle soon ended, and all the people inside were subdued. The person who was kicked out by Jian Leyang first, is now being trampled under by Jian Leyang. Zhang Meng and Zhao Erhu couldn't bear to look like this. Looking at it, I said in my heart that fortunately the boss wore a mask to hide his brother's identity.

Jian Leyang exerted a little force on his feet, the man let out a scream, and Jian Leyang asked, "Are you their boss?"

That man was covered in cold sweat, he might as well have summoned the evil god, no, he remembered, it was the boss Le who ruined their good deed that night, the masked appearance left a deep impression on him, he gritted his teeth Said: "...not."

With a click, Jian Leyang stepped on the bones of his hand and broke, and the man screamed again.

"Boss, he lied?" Zhang Meng still knew the boss, and would not do such a cruel thing for no reason.

Jian Leyang clapped his hands and sneered: "I saw it that night, I will leave this man to you, and see how many things he can dig out of his mouth."

"Yes, boss." Zhang Meng immediately took over the man.

Of course, the water bandits outside were alarmed by such a big commotion, and they surrounded the area with all kinds of weapons, but seeing that their boss had his arm broken by life and put a knife on his neck, There was hesitation in action, and seeing that the other small bosses were also dead or wounded, some people in the crowd looked at each other, and then rushed out with gritted teeth, Zhao Erhu was startled, thinking they were going to attack the boss, Unexpectedly, as soon as these people rushed out, they threw the sticks and hoes in their hands on the ground, knelt down and said that they were forced to join the water bandits.

If there was one case, there would be a second case, so the group of people was divided into two factions. The people who dropped their weapons started to accuse the water bandits of their evil deeds after talking about their own incompetence, especially their boss who called himself Sun Ergui.

"Benefactor, I know where Sun Ergui's belongings are hidden. I'll take the benefactor there." A man with clever eyes stood up and said.

"...You bastard!" Sun Ergui cursed angrily when he saw this.

"Bah! If you hadn't killed my master's family back then, would I have ended up here as a water bandit? I wish you would die." The man, who was only twenty years old, spat hard.

'Boss, I'll follow to see. " Zhao Erhu volunteered.

"Be careful." Jian Leyang nodded.

The following two factions quarreled and exposed each other's old background. Some people made a gesture of surrendering to Jian Leyang just to survive. This revealing really revealed many problems. Jian Leyang glanced at them coldly. Neck shrank, feeling trembling all over his body.

Zhao Erhu came back with the man named Lu Lin in a short time. Zhao Erhu was very excited and came over to report in a low voice: "Boss, this guy didn't lie to us. I didn't expect that Sun Ergui had saved so much property."

"That's right, it's a credit to you. If you want anything, say it now." Jian Leyang nodded at Lu Lin.

Lu Lin knelt down with a thud, and said excitedly: "Young one, I don't ask for anything else. Boss Le avenged the master's family for the young one. The young one is already very grateful. If Boss Le can look up to the young one, I will Let the little one do things with the boss, the little one can go to other places when the main house is gone."

"Then stay, and tell Zhao Erhu, which of these people can stay and which can't." Jian Leyang nodded to the two factions in front of him. Some of these people were forced into water bandits just like Lu Lin, but some It's rotten from the root!

"Yes, boss." Lu Lin was very excited. He could finally get rid of Sun Ergui. If he hadn't been incapable, he would have wanted to kill Sun Ergui with a single knife, and he had also thought about reporting to the officials, but those local officials didn't know what to do. Just like Gu Gu, when he saw Boss Le show off his supernatural power when he robbed the ship last time, he yearned for it very much. He didn't expect that Boss Le would fall from the sky again tonight and capture Sun Ergui in one fell swoop. To him, he was like a reborn parent.

Of course, Lu Lin had to behave well in front of the boss, and turned around to look at these people outside. Some people looked evasively, and when they found that Lu Lin was looking over, they gritted their teeth and rushed towards Lu Lin: "Okay, your surname is Lu, Even if I die today, I will drag you on my back."

It's just that before he rushed to Lu Lin, he heard a "poof", a piece of wood stuck in his chest, and finally fell down in despair.

Lu Lin broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he cleverly betrayed Sun Ergui and joined the boss. The boss's mysterious skills are no match for Sun Ergui. The boss's power made him let go even more. A bastard who does all kinds of bad things.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jian Leyang asked most of them to leave on their own. If he found out that he was a water bandit again, he would not be so polite. Running away, as for where they are going, it is not for Jian Leyang to ask. He is not interested in collecting all these people. Although some people were forced at first, but unconsciously his three views are biased, he is not interested There is no obligation to correct these people.

The rest of Sun Ergui were all tied up and thrown into a boat in the hands of the water bandits. Jian Leyang thought about it and forgot to throw them all to He Yunzhang. Then they all moved to other boats. Sun Ergui also had several boats in his hand, all of which were robbed. The three brothers who were rescued by Jian Leyang and the women rescued by Lu Lin were also on board. , Seeing the appearance of these women, Zhang Meng and Zhao Erhu felt that they were too kind to Sun Ergui and others, and such people should go to hell to fry in oil.

Sun Ergui's limbs were directly crippled, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to escape on the way. Zhang Mengyi and Jian Leyang ordered a few people to send them to Mr. He, and the remaining people Jian Leyang gave two The choice, one is to take the money and leave on your own, the other is to go with their boat, those women chose to take the money and leave, Jian Leyang didn't say much, obviously they may not be the same as water bandits in their eyes Big difference.

As for the choice of the three brothers, Jian Leyang was a bit surprised, they wanted to go with the boat.

The way we left was different from the way we came. There was another waterway leading to the big river outside. When we got back to the boat and settled down, it was dawn and the boat left the pier.

"Brother Yang, did you disembark at night?" Father Jian asked directly when he saw Jian Leyang.

"I alarmed my father. I took people out to pick out a bunch of water bandits. Don't worry, my father. I tied up those water bandits and sent them to He County Magistrate. It's useless to send them to Yunyang County. There are people in the county government office." Hooked up with Sun Ergui, oh yes, Sun Ergui is the boss of that gang of water bandits, his original name was Sun Ergou, but he changed his name after he became the leader of water bandits." Jian Leyang explained.

"That's good. Brother Yang, don't worry about doing things, but Brother Yang has to be careful himself. You must know that there are people outside the world and others." Father Jian warned.

"Father, I understand." Jian Leyang smiled.

"Brother Yang," Zhao Erhu came and knocked on the door, "that brother from the Xie family wants to see the boss, and he wants to disembark with us." After boarding the boat, Zhao Erhu arranged a separate room for the three of them, and instead of disturbing them, It was this brother who claimed to be Xie who took the initiative to find them.

This brother from the Xie family, although he is beautiful, but Zhao Erhu feels that he is someone who has withstood the test of the boss, and he is very calm when facing such a brother.

"Father, I'll go see him." Jian Leyang confessed to Jian's father that it would be troublesome to bring such a person on board, but he couldn't really leave him alone, because such a look really attracts people when he goes out.

"Alright, if there's something inconvenient, call your mother." Father Jane said.

Zhao Erhu brought Jian Leyang to Brother Xie's room, pointed to Jian Leyang and said, "I am Brother Yang from the village next door to my house, and I will accompany my father to Fucheng to take the exam. Brother Xie, please tell Brother Yang if you have anything to do. See you in the sky, brother Yang will tell us if there is a need."

"Thank you, Second Brother Zhao." Brother Xie looked at Jian Leyang suspiciously, and then politely thanked Zhao Erhu. Although Zhao Erhu and the people around him looked fierce, they treated them with respect. Brother Xie was grateful from the bottom of his heart. The man was rescued and escaped from the tiger's mouth. Zhao Erhu grinned, waved his hands, turned and left.

Maybe it was Jian Leyang's identity, which made Xie's brother feel more relaxed. He invited Jian Leyang in, and the woman and child in the room smiled politely at Jian Leyang, poured tea for him, and the three of them washed up briefly. It was much more refreshing than when I was in the water bandit village before, "Mother Ding, please take Xiaochang to the boat for a walk first."

Mother Ding knew that it was her son who wanted to talk to her brother L in front of her alone, so she immediately took her grandson's hand and retreated, closing the door. Jian Leyang didn't know what this brother L of the Xie family was going to say, but seeing his appearance, she was sure again that there was no If you miss him, this brother came from a wealthy family and received an excellent upbringing, but for some reason he fell into the hands of a low-level water bandit and wanted to resell him.

Jian Leyang sat there calmly waiting for Xie's brother to speak, but unexpectedly the next moment Xie's brother suddenly knelt down towards him, Jian Leyang stretched out his hand to support him in a daze, preventing him from continuing to kneel, there was nothing he could do at night, he actually didn't want to see this A way of kneeling and kowtowing at every turn.

"What is the meaning of Xie's brother?" Jian Leyang looked at this brother calmly. The red mole was born between the eyebrows, which made the original eight-point appearance become very good. No wonder those nobles would use him as a plaything , this kind of beauty is really eye-catching, I don't know why there is such a gender in this world.

"Brother Yi can't repay you for saving my life. My surname is Xie and my name is Wenyi. I know that you are the one who saved me in the night. You have the same look and body as the man in the night, and you have these eyes." Xie Wenyi said very confidently. .

Jian Leyang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and forced Xie Wenyi up with a little force: "So, what does Mr. Xie think?" He wasn't very surprised, since he had seen two people at the same time, it was easy to tell him apart .

"I would like to ask you to take the three of us in, so that we can support ourselves and do anything." Xie Wenyi said with determination in his eyes.

He originally wanted to ask for the boss Le in the night, but he didn't want Zhao Erhu to bring this brother, and then Xie Wenyi first saw him as the boss Le in the night, but he was still a little nervous and tentative when he spoke. If the other party refuses to admit it, he has nothing to do.

Jian Leyang looked at Xie Wenyi playfully, and the latter was a little nervous. This guy was very different from the ones he had been in contact with before. No wonder he couldn't be found out that he was a guy at night. It was because of his demeanor and actions, which were incomparable to men. different.

"The more you say that, the less I dare to take you three masters and servants in, because taking you in means trouble. I think Mr. Xie's identity is not simple. I would rather stay than go back, because I can't go back?"

"I..." Xie Wenyi bit her lip, "I can cover my face.

Jian Leyang laughed aloud: "Do you also want to learn how to wear a mask? Don't you think it's enough for one person to wear it, and it's redundant if two people wear it? Or if someone thinks I'm looking for revenge one day, Mr. Xie is confident that I can wear a mask." Can it be resisted?" Jian Leyang saw that this guy's figure was not very different from him, so it's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't be taken as him. This is not looking for a way to survive, but to seek a way to die.

Xie Wenyi choked for a moment: "No, I mean I'll modify my face."

He was also afraid of the scene described by Jian Leyang. He couldn't imagine that Jian Leyang led those five big and three thick men with a brother. It was obvious that Zhao Erhu knew Jian Leyang's identity just now. When he led Jian Leyang over, Jian Leyang was the first in everything. The attitude has shown itself.

"What is your identity? Why don't you choose to go back but stay in a gang that belongs to the low class in your eyes?"

Jian Leyang tapped his fingers on the table. Although the guy in front of him gave him a good impression, it was impossible to keep him just based on his impression, because it would mean bringing subsequent troubles to the Canghe Gang. Why take the trouble for Xie Wenyi?It's not foolproof by covering his face, why would he take risks without enough rewards?

"I..." Xie Wenyi blushed a little, but there was still no way to avoid this question, took a few deep breaths, and said, "I said."

Jian Leyang put on a posture of listening attentively. After Xie Wenyi showed a look of pain and struggle on his face, he opened his mouth to tell his situation and why he fell into such a situation. Jian Leyang's expression did not change from the beginning to the end. This appearance will make people mistakenly think that Xie Wenyi is just talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

Xie Wenyi, no, his original name was Fan Wenyi, but he changed his mother's surname after leaving that family, and this Fan family is actually a family of officials in the capital, that is to say, Xie Wenyi was brought out of the capital, or he himself Fleeing all the way from the capital to here, thinking about the distance between here and the capital, it is not short.

Xie Wenyi is the only child left behind by Fan’s father’s original spouse, Xie’s family. He doesn’t even want to recognize his father’s surname. It is conceivable how bloody this encounter is. The fact is also true. Fan’s father came from a grassroots background and relied on the financial resources of his in-law’s family to support him all the way. , the Xie family is a business family. After Fan's father was promoted, the Xie family's family background seemed a bit impressive, especially after the Xie family entered the door and only gave birth to a brother, whether it was the old lady of the Fan family or Fan's father. Very dissatisfied, the result was that the concubine's room was brought in, and the Xie family couldn't find a reason to object.

Originally it was agreed that the concubine's child would be brought up by Mrs. Xie's knees, but she didn't expect that the business of Mrs. Xie's family would suddenly come to an end until she could no longer recover. Mrs. Xie still had her natal family's financial resources to rely on. Well, the Xie family who lost his support soon lost his original status. Although he was not dismissed, he was thrown into a remote corner by the old lady of the Fan family. Together with the elder brother Xie Wenyi, even the servants of the Fan family could step on them at will.

Not long after, Xie Wenyi's grandfather and uncle disappeared without news. The devastated Xie became ill and finally left Xie Wenyi alone in Fan's house. He was given to someone else as a child, and that person was cruel by nature, so Xie Wenyi escaped desperately, wanting to go south to find his grandfather's family.

It was only after he escaped that he realized that all of this was a conspiracy by the concubine's room. He bought the maid beside him, and a bowl of medicine made him lose consciousness. In the cabin of the light, they were taken to the wooden house where they were detained before, until Jian Leyang rescued the three master and servant

Fan's father is now a fourth-rank Beijing official. According to Sun Ergui, he wanted to sell Xie Wenyi to the southern fireworks land, and he didn't want to be cut off by Jian Leyang. Although it was embarrassing for Xie Wenyi to say this, let Jian Leyang felt relieved, the Fan family's hands were not so long to reach here, so keeping Xie Wenyi would not cause too much trouble, even if there was, he could solve it, and Xie Wenyi was not useless.

Jian Leyang sized Xie Wenyi up, and asked, "My Canghe gang is a bunch of rough guys. If you mix with them with your appearance and identity, don't you worry about the consequences?"

"I believe you." Xie Wenyi was still a little worried at first, but after discovering Jian Leyang's identity, the worry disappeared.

Jian Leyang smiled, got up and said: "I don't know how to support idlers, and I will definitely not be able to be a son or brother when I work under me. There are still two days to go to the shore. You should think about it carefully during this time, and you still don't change your mind by then. If so, then I will arrange live juice for you!"

"Thank you." Xie Wenyi sincerely thanked.

Jian Leyang waved his hand, opened the door and went out. Not far away, Mama Ding saw it, and hurriedly brought her grandson over, gave Jian Leyang a hasty salute, and then entered the room to ask Brother Yi with concern. Xie Wenyi smiled and comforted Mama Ding: "Mom, don't worry, it's okay. We can stay here. We can find a job and we can raise Xiaochang together."

Mama Ding's eyes were red: "But Brother Yi, you really don't think about it anymore? Maybe we can go to the south and find Uncle and the others."

"Don't talk about it, mom, uncle and grandpa are still alive or dead. Where are we going to find them? Let's find a place to stay and survive. If uncle and the others come back, there will be news, and then we can go It’s not too late to find uncle and them.”

Xie Wenyi persuaded that if possible, he also hoped to live with his grandfather and the others, but the world is so big, with the strength of the three of them, where can they find it, and it is lucky that the Canghe Gang is willing to take them in.

After Jian Leyang came out, he told Zhao Erhu about the situation. If Xie Wenyi didn't change his mind, then Zhao Erhu would arrange the person. He also wanted to see Xie Wenyi's own change and determination. Of course, Zhao Erhu would not have any objections.

After going back, Jian Leyang also told his parents about Xie Wenyi's master and servant. Father Jian sighed. Mother Jian sympathized with this brother's experience. She can't meddle indiscriminately.

The three of Li Ming didn't know about this situation, they said goodbye to Jian's father at the pier in Yunyang County, made an appointment to meet again in the future, and got off the boat with joy.

The boat went further and arrived at the wharf of Canghe Town. Father Jian got off the boat and did not rush to Yong'an Village. He first went to the county government of Xindan County to change his status. , In addition, the status of a scholar does not kneel when seeing an official. There is [-] mu of land under the name of a scholar without paying taxes, and one quota of corvee can also be exempted. This last item is more important to the Jian family than money and tax exemption. At the age of conscription, other corvees can be replaced by silver, but if there is a war at the border, it is very likely that even silver will not be able to handle it.

Jian Leyang is not optimistic about the current situation in the Daxing Dynasty. Once there is a war, no matter his father or Wen Yuan in the family, they will play a lot of roles on the battlefield, so the status of a scholar is very important.

It took them two days to leave Fucheng, so the good news has spread to the county and the town. There are already people waiting at the pier, not only from the town, but also from Yong'an Village, rushing to the first place. Congratulate Jane's father for a while.

When the officials of the county government went to Yongan Village to announce the good news, except for Tian Lizheng who was a little mentally prepared, everyone else was stunned. , It was such a surprise, this was waiting on the pier early.
