(Xiaoyun apologized to everyone first, two days ago, a relative in the family got married, and he went home, so the update fell, and today he returned with full blood, and began to update steadily, and he will try to keep changing in the future.)

Now I will send a chapter of more than 5,000 words in one, thank you for your continued support, thank you for your support! ）

Zhang Ergouzi's cart carrying weapons drove safely into Yongcheng County, and the rest of Li Zixiao and others would easily enter the city.

In the end, Li Zixiao led a group of his subordinates to enter the county seat smoothly, which was much simpler than Li Zixiao imagined.

"Hey! I didn't expect it to be so easy for us to enter the city this time, it would have to take a lot of trouble to go this way, this Ming Dynasty is really rotten from top to bottom, and it is hopeless. ”

After Li Zixiao entered the city, he was received by Zhang Ergouzi, and then all entered a small courtyard behind the Drunken Immortal Building, and Li Zixiao couldn't help but say with emotion on the way.

"Hmph, big boss, you don't know, this can't be blamed on those who are soldiers, in fact, they are not easy, the official originally issued them not much every month, and they also deducted seven or eight deductions, and they are often in arrears for half a year and a year, which is a common thing.

These big-headed soldiers also have wiveves, children and old ladies to support at home, so why should they use their identities to make some extra money, otherwise the whole family will starve to death.

This world is like this, officials and businessmen protect each other, exploit at all levels, those big officials will care about the life and death of the people below, and they only know how to make money in their pockets, and even these soldiers live a hard life, let alone ordinary people. ”

Hearing Li Zixiao's sigh, Liu Chong, who was next to him, snorted coldly, with an angry expression on his face, and said.

Liu Chong used to be a soldier, and at that time he knew that there were very few people who could get his hands on the soldiers in these years, and he couldn't even support his own family, and he didn't even have to get a pension after his death, which was really sad.

"Yes, all this is wrong in this rotten court, the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil for nearly three hundred years, and it should be sunk. Only by breaking the old order can we build a new future, and this era has a lot to do! ”

Li Zixiao muttered to himself in a low voice.

At this time, Li Zixiao's low voice was keenly heard by Liu Chong beside him, and he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Li Zixiao to say such a rebellious thing, and he had such a lofty burden.

For a while, Liu Chong felt that maybe it was not a bad thing to follow this young boss.

"The big boss, here's the small courtyard I bought." Soon Zhang Ergouzi took Li Zixiao and his party to a remote and quiet courtyard.

In front of this small courtyard is a delicate, elegant and chic restaurant, at this time they can hear the noise from the restaurant in front of them standing here, but few people come here.

"Hehe, the big boss, in front of it is the largest restaurant in Yongcheng County'Zuixianlou', our small courtyard and Zuixianlou are only separated by one street, let's find out where the news is most appropriate.

Big boss, we can also go in and try it when we have time, the chef's skills here are really good. Zhang Ergouzi pointed to the drunken immortal building in front of him and smiled at Li Zixiao and said.

"Well, let's go again if we have a chance, we're here to save people this time. Time is pressing, let's go in first, discuss a proper way to save people, if it drags on for a long time, the Dong Zhuang brothers will be in danger. ”

In the end, Li Zixiao glanced at the Drunken Immortal Tower, he didn't plan to go in, he still knew the importance and knew what their mission was to venture into the city this time.

"Zhang Ergouzi, tell me the news you heard." After entering the small courtyard, Li Zixiao immediately summoned several of his henchmen to discuss countermeasures, and asked Zhang Ergouzi first.

"Yes, big boss."

Zhang Ergouzi stood up, responded, and continued: "Just now I went out to find a few Cai family members I knew, the officials of the county government, and some guys from the Li family's shop in Yongcheng County to drink and eat.

From their mouths, I took it out, it turned out that the Cai family had sent the Dong Zhuang brothers to the government yesterday, and now they are being detained in the county government prison.

And the Cai family didn't seem to think that we would go into the city to save people, they probably thought that our cottage could not venture into the city for a bandit, so they directly handed over the people to the county government, and did not send people to guard them. ”

"Yes, that's true. But, then, now we're going to save people from government prisons? Li Zixiao first nodded in recognition of Zhang Ergouzi's words, and then frowned and said.

To tell the truth, Li Zixiao really didn't want to alarm the people in the government at this time, and his strength was still very weak at this time, let alone dealing with the officers and soldiers of those guards, and he couldn't even provoke Yongcheng County.

Last time, he hijacked the Li family's caravan and attracted the attention of the government, and he was already on the blacklist of the government.

"Hey, give me another half a year, even if it's two or three months, as long as the new people who are now joining the cottage are trained, I don't have to worry about the county government sending people into the mountain to clear it."

Perhaps perceiving Li Zixiao's frowning, Zhang Ergouzi guessed what Li Zixiao was worried about, glanced at him, and said boldly: "In fact, the Dong brothers fell into the hands of the government, but it was easier to rescue them than in the Cai family." ”

"Oh? How so? ”

Zhang Ergouzi's words made Li Zixiao's head instantly catch something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at him and asked.

Seeing Li Zixiao's expectant eyes, Zhang Ergouzi plucked up the courage and boldly said his inner thoughts: "The big boss, the Cai family wants the life of the Dong brothers to curry favor with the Li family."

Therefore, if the Dong Zhuang brothers are still in the hands of the Cai family at this time, I am afraid that they will already be more than lucky, and it is probably useless for us to break into the Cai family to save people.

But now that the Dong brothers are being held in the county government jail, it will be much easier.

The cell bosses, errand servants, masters, and masters in the county government are all greedy, as long as you can afford the price, there is nothing they dare not do.

I know the current Master Qian in the county government, this guy's surname is Qian, and he really only recognizes money, as long as he is given enough silver, he dares to do anything, and it is a piece of cake to save someone from the dungeon.

As long as we can afford to buy Master Qian at the right price, it will be easy to rescue the Dong brothers from the prison unconsciously, and then arrange a death row prisoner to be a substitute for the dead ghost and die instead of Brother Dong. ”

"Seriously! Zhang Ergouzi, are you really sure to buy that Master Qian? Hearing Zhang Ergouzi's words, Li Zixiao was also overjoyed, if it was really as Zhang Ergouzi said, it would be much easier.

"The big one, the small one is 100% sure, but the master surnamed Qian has too much appetite, I'm afraid that his bid is too high!" After Zhang Ergouzi assured, he also expressed his worries.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter how much money you spend, rescue the person first. The silver will be temporarily placed in the hands of that master Qian, and sooner or later he will come back to him. ”

Li Zixiao said indifferently, the silver can be snatched back if it is spent, but it is a big loss to lose a loyal subordinate.

When Zhang Ergouzi heard Li Zixiao's words, his heart was cold, and he also knew the meaning of Li Zixiao's last words, and it was estimated that soon this master surnamed Qian would be unlucky.

"Zhang Ergouzi, do you estimate that if you want to buy this Master Qian and rescue Dong Zhuang from the county government prison, how much silver will you have to spend to buy him off?"

"At least three hundred taels, maybe even more." Zhang Ergouzi said it cautiously.

"Hehe, three hundred taels, this Master Qian's appetite is really big. Okay, let's do it according to your method first, you go to trade with this master surnamed Qian, if you can really rescue Dong Que like this, I will credit you for your great work.

At the same time, Zhang Ergouzi, you pay more attention to the situation of the Cai family, this time we finally went to the city, the Cai family dared to arrest my people and detain my goods, if Lao Tzu didn't toss them Cai family, they didn't know that Ma Wang Ye had three eyes! ”

In the end, Li Zixiao decided to send Zhang Ergouzi to contact Master Qian of the county government first, it would be great if he could rescue Dong Zhuang without blood, and at the same time, he did not forget to find an opportunity to take revenge on the Cai family.

"Send a few people to sentry, don't let strangers get close to our foothold, Zhou Dazhu, you are responsible for staying in the courtyard, and I will take Quartz and Liu Chong out for a walk."

After Zhang Ergouzi left, Li Zixiao didn't plan to wait for news in the small courtyard all the time, this was the first time he came to the county seat of Daming since the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he was determined to go out and have a look.

"Big boss, this is the county seat, it's too dangerous." When Zhou Dazhu heard that Li Zixiao was going out, his face changed, and he said worriedly, he didn't want Li Zixiao to go out.

"Don't worry, it's okay, whoever will know me is the bandit leader, and besides, with Quartz and Liu Zhong by my side, no one hurt me."

In the end, Zhou Dazhu saw that Li Zixiao had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading, and then Li Zixiao went out with Quartz and Liu Chong.

"This is the county seat of Daming!"

Li Zixiao walked to a street, and a famous pedestrian hurriedly walked on both sides of the street, most of them were ordinary people, and when they looked at their faces, they knew that they belonged to the kind of people who had been malnourished for a long time.

Most of the beggars on both sides of the street are local beggars, because the displaced beggars who have fled from other places are blocked outside the city and have no chance to enter the city.

There are a lot of small stalls and vendors around the street, which are similar to the **** roadside stalls in the previous life, and there are slightly more formal shops not far away, including restaurants, inns, grain stores, cloth shops, classical shops and so on.

But Li Zixiao was very keenly aware of one thing, most of these shops were hung with the word Cai or Liu, indicating that these shops belonged to the property of the Cai and Liu families in the county seat, so they didn't dare to come over in the face of those errands who often extorted.

At this time, a young man in front of him was dressed in splendid clothes, wearing a brocade hat, and wearing a white jade on his waist, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a red and ruddy face, and a chubby man, followed by a group of subordinates, swaggering down the street.

"This lord, please do well, give the old woman some food, my little granddaughter hasn't eaten for two days."

At this time, an old woman dressed in tatters suddenly appeared, and she led a little girl to such a young man in gorgeous clothes and knelt down directly, pleading.

The padded jacket on this old woman's body had long been tattered, and it could not withstand much cold in the winter.

The old woman was followed by a little girl of eight or nine years old, her little face was red from the cold, and the padded jacket on her body was much better than that of the old woman, and it seemed that the old woman used the good padded jacket on the little girl.

"Damn, the old thing that came out of nowhere, his dirty hands have stained Lao Tzu's clothes, get out of the way of Young Master Ben."

When the little fat man saw the old woman kneeling in front of him and pulled his clothes with his hand, he was furious and kicked the old woman to the ground.

"Old thing, you dare to stand in the way of my young master, get out of the way, lead your little thing to get out of the way."

Two or three men who looked like housekeepers rushed out from behind, and when they saw this little fat young master, they were angry and punched and kicked at the old woman.

"Woo, grandma, don't hit my grandma. Xiaoying, don't eat, Xiaoying is not hungry, please don't beat my grandma. When the little girl saw her grandmother being beaten, she quickly pulled the clothes of those family members with her little hands, crying and screaming.

"Fuck off, little thing." A family member threw his arm and directly smashed the little girl out of the air.

And from beginning to end, this scene happened to be seen by Li Zixiao, who had just walked over not far away, and immediately Li Zixiao quickly ignited a raging flame in his chest, and he was furious.

"Quartz, Liu Chong, go and cripple all these dogs." Li Zixiao said to Quartz and Liu Zhong behind him without hesitation.

Quartz, like Li Zixiao, had already seen the scene of the old woman being beaten, and he couldn't bear it for a long time, and wanted to rush up and beat this group of evil people, so he waited for Li Zixiao to speak.

Therefore, after hearing Li Zixiao's words, Quartz did not hesitate to rush out and rushed straight to the family members who kicked and beat the old woman.

"The big boss, we ...... now"

Liu Chong was also very angry when he saw this scene, but unfortunately he thought more, after all, they were bandits at this time, and it was not appropriate to be in the limelight, otherwise they would attract the attention of the government.

Therefore, he wanted to remind Li Zixiao that this move was unwise, but before he finished speaking, Li Zixiao already knew what he was going to say.

A pair of eyes burning with anger looked at him, and said in a cold voice: "Liu Chong, if you still want to continue to follow me, then don't question my orders."

Didn't you remember the obedience orders I said in the cottage before! Quartz does this better than anyone else.

As for whether it attracts the attention of the government or not, how to deal with all this, I am the big boss who bears it, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

Seeing Li Zixiao's really angry appearance at this time, there was even murderous intent in his eyes, it was a roaring and angry tiger, this was the first time Liu Chong had seen it, sighed, and finally rushed behind Quartz.

Bang bang bang......

With Quartz and Liu Chong's shot, those family members were beaten down in an instant, one by one, their bones were not broken, and they were rolling and wailing on the cold stone road with their arms and thighs in their arms.

Li Zixiao, who had been watching from behind, found that this group of family members could still support two moves in the face of Quartz and Liu Chong's attacks, which was obviously practiced, and was by no means ordinary family members.

"Alright, stop it." Li Zixiao walked over and stopped him loudly, at this time, this group of family members had all been beaten down by Quartz and Liu Chong.

"Who are you, do you know that we are the members of the Liu family, this is the eleventh young master of the Liu family in front of you, you dare to make a move on us, it is really an ambitious leopard guts, none of you can come to Yongcheng County."

A young man who was grabbed by Liu Chong's chest clothes and lifted it up was carried to Li Zixiao.

This family member looked at the burly man in front of him, and was also frightened, but he could still see that Liu Chong listened to Li Zixiao's words, so he turned his face and threatened Li Zixiao and said.

"Dog, what kind of thing are you, you dare to threaten Lao Tzu, it seems that I beat you too lightly just now!

Let you threaten me, the dog thing that fights people, Lao Tzu is the most disgusted with your kind of thing, and you can still do it to the elderly, you don't have an old lady at home. ”

Li Zixiao saw that this family member was still so arrogant at this time, and as soon as he made a look, Liu Zhong directly threw this young family member to the ground, Li Zixiao rushed up and greeted him with one foot at a time, and his mouth was still nagging sentence by sentence.

And Li Zixiao, this guy, always greets people's faces, and he didn't stop until Li Zixiao kicked and beat this guy with a swollen face like a bun.

"Hey, it turns out that beating people is still quite comfortable, and how did I find that my strength is getting stronger." Li Zixiao finished beating people and muttered in a low voice.

And Li Zixiao really found that since he traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, his strength has increased a lot during this time, and the foundation of his body was originally very good, but now for some reason, his strength is much greater than before.

"Whatever, it's a good thing to have more strength." In the end, Li Zixiao didn't understand why, so he simply didn't want to.

At this time, Li Zixiao walked to the little girl, who was crying with the old woman lying on the ground, constantly shaking the old woman's body, but she didn't see the old woman move.

"Grandma, wake up, don't ignore Xiaoying, Xiaoying is very well-behaved, Xiaoying is not hungry, Xiaoying doesn't want to eat, as long as grandma." The little girl crawled on top of the old woman, her little face close to the old woman's boring old face, and said with a cry.

The old woman raised her hand with difficulty, touched the little girl's face, and whispered, "My poor granddaughter, I blame my grandmother for not being good, and she can't get you something to eat."

Ay! This world really doesn't allow you to live! Oh my God, if you want to take the old woman with you, leave my granddaughter a way to live, he is only nine years old! ”。

At this time, Li Zixiao walked to the old woman and squatted, and when he heard the old woman's words, he suddenly felt a heart stop.

Looking at the appearance of this old man, it is obvious that he has been hungry for a long time and his body is weak, and he was beaten by those family members, and his body can't stand it, I'm afraid he won't be able to live.

"This young master ......" At this time, the old woman looked at Wang Zirui, her cloudy old eyes showed a touch of light, she straightened up half-straight, and grabbed Li Zixiao's hand.

Li Zixiao felt the old woman's palms as rough as the bark of an old tree, and suddenly remembered his mother's palms before he crossed over, which were so rough, those hands bear the responsibility of decades and feed two generations of children.

"What do you want to say, old woman?" Li Zixiao's eyes were a little moist, and his voice trembled slightly.

"This young master, I see that you are a good person, I am afraid that the old woman will not be able to hold on, the old woman should have died a long time ago, but she just can't let go of my little granddaughter.

Today, before I die, I can meet you, a noble person, I hope you can take in my poor granddaughter after the death of the old body, let her be a maid by your side, give her food, she is still young, she should not die like an old woman! ”。

"This ......"

After listening to the old woman's words, Li Zixiao hesitated a little, he was indignant just now, and he shot angrily, but it didn't seem appropriate for her to take in the little girl in front of her!

At this time, this old woman, who was about to die, held Li Zixiao's hand tightly with so much strength from nowhere, staring at him tightly, holding her body and not wanting to fall.

"Okay, old woman, I promise you this request, I will take care of your granddaughter, don't worry." In the end, Li Zixiao gritted his teeth and agreed.

Li Zixiao could see that the old woman was obviously returning to the light at this time, and I was afraid that it wouldn't last long, and he didn't want the old man to die with regret.

"Thank you, thank you, Childe, the old body can see at a glance that you are a good person, and God will bless you." The old woman, hearing Li Zixiao's words, was obviously very relieved and said in a low voice.

"My poor granddaughter......"

Then the old woman turned her head slightly, looked at the little girl who was crying on the side, stretched out a palm and tried to touch the little girl's face, but when the hand reached out in the air, she fell down in a daze, and her body also lay down, and swallowed her last breath.

The old woman died, but there was a faint smile on her old face for a while, and the little girl cried even more when she saw her grandmother dead.
