C20 Brave Bandits

Feng Lianzhong is the opposite. Feng Lianzhong was not very impressive. He was an ordinary person, and his square face was not always smiling when he met people. However, there was a hint of intimacy in his face.

If he were to walk out of this yamen, he would be the only one that people liked. He treated people peacefully and helped people happily. Feng Lianzhong was not that kind of good person, but a publicly acknowledged good person.

Usually, the house of the Zhao family's orphans and widows, which was the neighbor of the neighborhood, was left empty. Feng Lianzhong went up to the roof to help repair the house. The three-year-old kid of Old Qian's family was lost. Feng Lianzhong went around 80 miles and caught the traffickers. Grandma Gan's little flower cat got on a tree branch but could not get down. Feng Lianzhong's Light-body Technique was not that good. He saved the little cat from Zhang Juanqiu. The Song family's couple even fought when they were fighting. Feng Lianzhong shook his head and didn't want to interfere. He said it was better to not get involved in the matter between the couple. The more others got involved, the more chaotic it became. Sure enough, it did not take long for the two of them to get along again.

Even some of the people in the green forest knew his name. When he was there, they would always give him face. Feng Lianzhong's martial arts was not considered high. Maybe it was because those chores took up too much of his time. However, he did not care. He used everything he could to help others. He enjoyed it.

At this moment, Feng Lianzhong was lying on the ground. Only then did everyone realize that apart from a large skeleton, there wasn't much flesh on his body. He was quietly there. Those who didn't know why would they think that he was sleeping here at this time.

The whole story was told by Zhang Juanqiu in a very simple manner, but the amount of information was not small.

There were two mountains within a hundred miles of the city, namely Green Peak Mountain and Old Hat Mountain. This year, it wasn't peaceful in all four directions, and there were bandits in each of the two mountains.

Green Peak Mountain was seventy miles southeast of the city. Five years ago, a group of powerful men occupied this place. At first, there were only three chiefs. According to the name of the mountain, they were called "Green Peak Village." Later, there were capable people who gradually joined and made a mountain village prosperous. Then, the village was renamed "Breeze Stronghold." There were a total of seven chiefs in the village, and all of them were famous heroes. The military had also attacked a few times, and those who went were attacked back. If there were too many people, they would defend against the danger. They would not fight head-on with the army.

These few times, the government could not do anything to them. They might as well send out troops once a year and a half. They might as well not attack seriously and just put on a show. When they returned, they sent a bunch of good news to the division and also boasted about their superior's achievements. He would ask for salary and silver from the capital to be rewarded.

The people of Breeze Stronghold probably didn't know that they had become the money tree of these officials and the source of their wealth. The famine and the exploitation of the government caused the famine and refugees to have no other choice. Many of them had joined various mountain villages in order to survive. In just a few years, the Breeze Stronghold had grown to nearly two thousand people. This was still the result of not daring to recruit.

Originally, the Breeze Stronghold was very powerful, and this was the main reason for the investigation of this incident. However, Zhang and Feng decided to make a trip to Old Hat Mountain's Three Spear Cave before going to the Breeze Stronghold.

Old Hat Mountain was about 50 miles southwest of the city. The mountain was smaller than Green Peak Mountain. It was not too far from the official road to the provincial capital. Previously, this area was relatively peaceful. Two or three years ago, a group of people chose to be bandits in the grass. The leader was the three brothers with the surname Tang. They used the endless caves in the mountain to occupy the mountain as their king, because the three brothers all used guns. They named it the Three Spear Cave.

The cave was not particularly spacious. After two years of development, there were only about a hundred or so people under his command. Although he usually did some acts of robbery, he rarely went against the government like the Breeze Stronghold.

The bandits of Three Spear Cave always hid far away when they met the soldiers. The soldiers had also attacked Three Spear Cave of Old Hat Mountain once or twice when they were clearing out the Breeze Stronghold. However, before the soldiers could arrive, the men from the Three Spear Cave had already disappeared into the maze-like cave. The soldiers were also used to this kind of cat and mouse game, coming and going. Everyone was safe and sound.

Zhang and Feng felt that Old Hat Mountain was closer, and the Tang brothers' attitude toward the government was not bad. They also felt that they should go and get some information. After that, they should make some preparations for going to the Breeze Stronghold. Actually, the main reason was that deep in their hearts, they were afraid of the Breeze Stronghold.

It was absurd to say that two constables went to visit a group of bandits. It was like a weasel paying respects to a chicken. In fact, such a thing was not rare at that time.

When a constables caught a thief, there was nothing to talk about. When they should fight, they should arrest, and when they should be punished, they should be punished. What should they do? Why? Who asked you to be a 'thief'? Wasn't a thief used to put on a front?

If they caught a pirate, they would have to catch him even if they wanted to. If he had to be killed, he had to be killed. Wang Ming couldn't disobey. The judge was his superior. As his official, no one else should make things difficult for him. In the prison, these bandits often did not suffer too much grievances. If the other party had any great ability to save his friend, then he shouldn't come back to cause trouble for him because of his humiliation and neglect. Another possibility was that they had spent enough money to find a way to get out of here, and the condemned prisoner could also find a scapegoat to execute the interrogation. The main character quietly escaped from the law and changed his name to a new identity to sing and dance as usual. Why would he want to be an evil person and offend others?

Therefore, for this kind of person, wherever there are rules, everything will be done according to the rules. And outside of the rules, it could be done as long as it was convenient. If he could express his difficulties, then he could express his difficulties. If he could establish a good relationship with others, that would be fine. However, one mustn't stab yourself in the face when someone comes to rob you. Only those reckless prison guards and prison guards would think that you were insufferably arrogant in that prison. Those poor fellows often don't know how to write the word 'death' but never have the chance to learn it again.

Another relationship is that this kind of righteous man takes over the mountain and takes over the king. The best condition for everyone is to live in harmony and not disturb each other. As long as the other party didn't come to disturb the place, the local officials would be happy to turn a blind eye to it. As long as he could protect his black veil hat and not interfere with his embroidered future... King Shan, do whatever you want. Don't go too far. It was precisely the official who did as he was told.

The extermination of bandits is a matter of the army. I am a local official. How could he have the ability to do so? With the spirit of an officer, the subordinates naturally followed suit. As they progressed, there were many people who were related to the bandits. When they were exterminating the bandits, they often leaked the news ahead of time. Most of the troops had failed to cross the border, but it was a different story when they came back to brag about their outstanding military exploits. In short, apart from harming the civilians, the rest were all happy. How could the lives of the civilians not be bitter?
