Chapter 726

Cheng Dalei is also a veteran in the rivers and lakes, and he can roughly judge what kind of goods they are by looking at the appearance of the five thieves.

The bandit industry is not easy to mix, salt and iron are controlled by the government, and it is already great to be able to get a simple knife. If you don't mix well, you can only use iron rods and forks, and if you don't have the ability, you can use a big stick.

Looking at the appearance of Lin Ying and the five people, they are probably bandits mixed at the bottom, and it is hard to say whether the so-called cottage has a place or not. It is estimated that there are only these five people in this gang, and it is not that they can't survive and start this business without capital.

The so-called return to the mountain to call people is just a way to get out.

Cheng Dalei couldn't help but remember that when he first debuted, there were only five people in Toad Village. Mice and toads are all inaccessible existences, so they will show mercy to these five people.

In the peaceful years of the Empire, one hundred and eight cities fell like stars on the territory of the Empire. There are villages and small towns outside the city, and if there is a war, these people who are not qualified to live in the city will bear the brunt of the disaster.

There is some distance between the city and the city, and the guests and merchants have to pass through hundreds of miles of no man's land, so that the bandits and bandits have a living soil. There is no shortage of murderous outlaws, but most of them are poor people who can't survive farming.

The emergence of bandits in an endless stream has also stimulated the development of the dart game, which is a large force in the Taiping year, and there is a lot of oil and water to be fished. However, now that the army is in chaos, and it is easy to travel thousands of miles, the dart game is slowly becoming unbearable.

In the past, there were many rules between thieves and dart masters. The dart game often has a good relationship with a few bandits, and sends people to give some gifts during the New Year's holidays. Bandits often don't do things perfectly, it's okay to rob money, and it's taboo to kill people. There are also monks who don't rob, Taoist priests who don't rob, scholars who don't rob, and some thieves who have big rules don't rob women.

Of course, rules are just rules, and whether to abide by them is another matter. When the world is chaotic, those so-called rules have become things that fool others, and everyone has become more and more unscrupulous in doing things.

Lin Ying was caught by Cheng Dalei and walked thirty miles with Cheng Dalei and the five of them, Cheng Dalei was not comfortable on the horse, and the five of them still had to work.

There is a bridge in front, and not far from the bridge is the city of Runan, Jingzhou. From a distance, you can already see the general appearance of the castle.

"Stop. Cheng Dalei waved his hand to stop them.

The five of them were tired and exhausted, and when they turned around to face Cheng Dalei, they were all a little timid in their hearts. This is about to arrive in Runan City, they no longer need to work on their own, will they kill themselves directly, or arrest themselves and hand them over to the government.

If it is handed over to the government, needless to say, it will definitely put a few big sins on his head, and let himself take the top of those outlaws.

"A good man spares his life. Lin Xiong kowtowed suddenly: "I have an eighty-year-old mother and a yellow-mouthed child, it doesn't matter if a hero kills me, I can leave my brother's life and let my mother die." ”

Cheng Dalei looked at his appearance and saw that his hands were bleeding from thorns, and the pair of straw sandals on his feet had long been worn out.

"Get up, get up. ”

"Good man, please raise your noble hand, more or less spare my brother's life, and I will repay your kindness by being a cow and a horse in my next life. Lin Xiong's eyes were already full of tears.

"Get up. ”

Cheng Dalei suddenly snorted, Lin Xiong didn't dare not get up, and stood up from the ground tremblingly. I saw Cheng Dalei sigh softly: "It's shameful to be a thief and do your part." ”

His eyes fell on their feet, and the five of them were in a state of embarrassment, and the blood blisters on their feet were worn by stones.

He glanced at Liu Facai, and Liu Facai took out a bag of silver from the carriage and threw it in Lin Xiong's palm.

Lin Xiong staggered to catch it, raised his head and looked at Cheng Dalei with confidence. When I started it, I knew that there were fifty or sixty taels of silver in this bag, and twenty or thirty silver ingots weighing two taels.

The five of them all felt unbelievable, and they felt that they were a little evil today.

"This is for you, you should get a share of the money if you do your best, this is my rule. Cheng Dalei looked at the five people: "Let's go and replace a pair of shoes first, they are all men who can't be pushed down, and people should be able to look at them when they go out." Gimmick gimmick, gimmick on the head, crappy lame, crappy under the feet. I don't even have a good pair of shoes, how can people look up at you. ”

"You really don't want to kill me?" Lin Xiong still couldn't believe it.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Turning over the river rat Lin Xiong. ”

"It's a good name, but it's a person who does great things, and I might hear it from other people in the future. Cheng Dalei said: "People who do big things don't kneel down casually." ”

Lin Xiong stood there, looked up and asked, "Good man, I know that you are a big man, and you don't care about us small fish and shrimp in your eyes." But how many names and surnames do we have in our hearts, and we know who is thanking?"

Cheng Dalei pursed his lips: "The surname is Cheng." ”

Several people drove a carriage across the bridge to Runan City. Lin Xiong and the five of them stood there, and after a while, Lin Yingcai shouted:

"The surname is Cheng, the one who rides the bull, it can't be who, right?"

There are not many people in the world who have seen the appearance of Cheng Da Lei, but many people have heard of his name. Everyone said that there was a Cheng master, riding a black bull, carrying a big axe, killing people without counting, and he was the first person in the bandit industry. Lin Xiong and the five people have naturally heard of it, but Cheng Dalei didn't bring an axe when he went out this time, and in the eyes of the five people, he was a fairy-like figure, and he didn't think he could meet it.

just encountered it, which made Lin Xiong and the five of them fall into a fog.

Cheng Dalei and his entourage continued to hurry.

If you haven't experienced this world, you think that the rivers and lakes are the love of children, and you are angry, and you don't stay for thousands of miles. The small bridge and flowing water in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River have merry scholars and gentle girls. The yellow sand in the north of the desert outside the Saiwai is blowing in the face, and the swordsman with the knife on his back walks alone for thousands of miles.

I said so, but I realized it when I really experienced it. You think you're a merry genius, but you're not even a scholar who sharpens ink for scholars. I thought that the Oiran of the Qinglou would treat you differently, but I can't say that the turtle prince can give you white eyes. It is a small number of people who are romantic, and whether it is the rivers and lakes or the temples, they are just the rivers and lakes and temples of a few people. Most people, in fact, can't even afford to buy a pair of shoes, they are just living, how can there be a lot of poetry and picturesqueness.

For example, Lin Xiong and the five people are ashamed to be thieves to the point of being pants. Cheng Dalei waved his hand and rewarded them with fifty taels of silver, which was a blessing or a curse for the five people. Sake is popular, wealth is moving, if one of the five people sees the wealth and wants to monopolize this windfall, it is not uncommon.

However, this is not what Cheng Dalei cares about. This world is really too chaotic, and no one is just a fish swimming in the big rivers and lakes, and they can't stir up any wind and waves.

When he came back to his senses, Runan had arrived in front of him.
