"No, you don't know. I have reliable information. Although Bai Fan and Zhongnan Academy are powerful, they are not without enemies. He has made countless enemies along the way. So as long as we can pay the price, there are some in the underworld. People are willing to sacrifice their lives for us, and these people are masters, not comparable to ordinary petty theft."

The Green Forest lineage of the Tang Dynasty has always taken the role of being a chivalrous man. There are prodigal sons and knights who travel freely in the world, and there are also chivalrous green forest tyrants who sit in a party. These are all well-known and recognized by the Green Forest Lineage.

Of course, everything has yin and there is yang. Since the emergence of the green forest lineage, the underworld lineage has also appeared rapidly, and it is called the underworld green forest or simply the underworld.

The members of the underworld originally came from the green forest people who have been wronged and wronged and have no place to uphold justice. They simply gave up their human nature and killed indiscriminately. After a long time, it finally arrived at the present scene of a mixed bag of fish and dragons.

It can be said that the underworld does not occupy half of the sky, but it does occupy a quarter of the entire green forest. There are everyone here. As long as you can afford it, you can find someone to do things for you. Of course, many famous underworld figures want It's not just gold and silver.

I don’t know how much bargaining chips Tubo and Goguryeo have put forward this time. In short, after five days, the whole underworld got the news that someone paid a high price to recruit people, not to avenge the murder, but to obtain a treasure. The location is in Zhongnan Academy .

As soon as the news came out, the entire underworld was in an uproar. Where is Zhongnan Academy?The site of the world's number one expert Bai Fan, the former world's number one expert Ziyang Zhenren is also sitting there now, the world's number one hero Li Yuanba also makes his home there, and the big brother of the green forest, Qin Shubao, and the second master Qin are also there. With these four people sitting in the city, who would dare provoke?

So many people shook their heads and left after looking at it. Although they were underworld desperadoes, no one was afraid of death.

However, people die for money and birds die for food. Not only are some people dazzled by the benefits, but also many people are unknown enemies of Zhongnan College. These people see the opportunity coming, but they want to participate without paying attention to the reward.

Even Li Xiuluo, the fourth-ranked 'Shura Hand' on the gang list, accepted the task calmly.

Zhang Zhongjian, the bearded boss of the green forest, heard the news, and hurried to Zhongnan Academy to inform his nephew Bai Fan. This time, he didn't even find out the employer, so it seemed quite tricky.

"Third uncle, don't be nervous. Only the power of the state can mobilize the underworld and green forests. It's not our Tang Dynasty court. Then it can only be a few foreign races around. They can spend a whole country's money on me and an academy. They are enough to work hard." .” Bai Fan said coldly, already understood in his heart.

"Nephew, don't underestimate it. Most of these gangsters don't have good and evil in their hearts. You are already a well-known and praised sage, but they don't care. They dare to kill if someone pays you.

What's more, they don't act according to common sense, they don't have the rules of the world, and they are often full of insidious tricks, which makes people hard to guard against. Third uncle, I have already summoned everyone in the Zhang family. Several of your uncles are here. I want to see who is behind it What the hell, dare to touch my Lulin Zhang family's children? "

Zhang Zhongjian waved his hand and insisted.

Qin Shubao said worriedly: "The so-called open guns are easy to hide and hidden arrows are hard to defend. Zhongnan Academy is related to the fate of the country. In short, we can no longer follow the rules of the world. Let's deploy troops and let the army surround the academy and protect it day and night. Only in this way can we be safe! "

"Hahahaha, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to defend against a thief? The other party is in the dark and we are in the light. Do we need a large army to be stationed all year round for protection? How can the students in the academy have the mind to study with peace of mind?

Although the name of the underworld and green forest is famous, the climate of Zhongnan Academy has become, which made me anxious. Since then, the entire underworld has been removed from the name, just to clean up a fierce sword for Datang. "

Looking at Bai Fan's self-confidence and persistence, Qin Shubao was not so optimistic. He thought in his heart that he should instruct the court forces around him to strengthen defense and control.

At this time, in Lantian County, less than ten miles away from Zhongnan Academy, a group of people quietly gathered here in a remote house. It seemed that there were more than 300 people, and the number was still increasing. The Shao Zhaiyuan was bought at a high price.

When Qin Qiong let go of his identity and came to the Lantian County government office in person as the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, and confessed to the local chief to strengthen the defense, he happened to meet a few people who also came for Zhongnan Academy.

Chapter 473 Chaoyang Masses Qin Qiong Suppresses Bandits

The magistrate of Lantian County is a man named Zhou Dao. This person was originally a captain of Lantian County and has a relationship with Li Jing's family. Since Bai Fan was named as the Marquis of Lantian and Zhongnan Academy became famous, he was promoted to be the magistrate of Lantian County. To put it bluntly, Lantian County was designated as Bai Fan's sphere of influence.

"At the end of the day, Zhou Dao, I pay my respects to General Qin!"

Seeing Qin Qiong coming, Zhou Dao went out to greet Qin Qiong in person, and gave Qin Qiong a formal military salute on the spot.

Qin Qiong smiled and took his hand, "Brother Zhou is wearing the robes of a county magistrate, but he is performing the military ceremony of the Tang Dynasty. It's really too nondescript. It's rare that you still remember your background in the army and don't forget us. Brother, let's go in and talk."

"Okay, General Qin, wait a moment, Rong Mo will explain one or two things."

Zhou Dao saw a group of people dressed as ordinary people wandering in front of the yamen, he wanted to step forward but was afraid of offending the nobles.

So Zhou Dao stepped forward to explain one or two things, "Fellow folks, the county government office has other official duties today and cannot open the government office. If there is something to do, you can go to the master to make a record first, and I will deal with it immediately after the work is done."

Those few people who were a little timid wanted to be persuaded to go back, but there were also those who insisted firmly: "No, I'm here to find the county magistrate. The matter is urgent and has something to do with the safety of Lantian Hou."

Zhou Dao was puzzled, what could a group of common people have to do with Lan Tianhou?

But Qin Qiong over there had sharp eyes and ears, and could hear clearly. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Since the matter involves Lan Tianhou, let's go in and deal with it. I don't have anything important, so I'll take a look with you."

"This is General Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao, the protector of the dynasty. Since the general said so, let's go inside and talk about it."

When everyone heard it, it turned out to be the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly knelt down to salute, with admiration in their eyes.

A group of people surrounded the county government office, and Qin Qiong asked first: "Fellow folks, just now you said that you came here on something related to the safety of the Marquis of Lantian. I don't know why?"

The headed commoner said: "We are residents of Suanzao Lane in the southwest of the city. A few days ago, a few wealthy lords came to our place and bought half of our house in Suanzao Lane. was bought at a high price.

Those of us who haven’t sold our house are very jealous…”

Zhou Dao was speechless, what would you say to the general about these trivial matters of people's livelihood?

Interrupted: "Master has reported this matter. He said that he is a big family from Chang'an. He has relatives who want to settle in Lantian. Let's talk about the main point. The trivial matter of buying and selling houses can be omitted."

"In the next few days, many people lived in those houses. These people lived in seclusion, and we hardly saw them. Every day there was the sound of knives and sticks practicing martial arts."

Then the second person said: "It seemed that too many people came and they lacked manpower to work, so they hired a few people from our side to buy vegetables and cook for them.

When we delivered food to them yesterday, we vaguely heard them say that we can start fighting when the number of people reaches [-], and then we can seek revenge from the surname Bai. "

"We thought, 500 people? We want to deal with the surname Bai? It seems that the only famous people here in Lantian are Lantian Hou with the surname Bai, so I hurried to report to the county magistrate. My lord, you must take down the thief. Lantianhou is a good man, you can't I was killed by them." The leader knelt down angrily and begged.

"Yes, yes, my lord, the second child of the third brother's family was accepted by Zhongnan Academy this year, and we all look forward to this child's success!" Several other people also knelt down and begged for mercy. The third brother they said is the leader common people.

Qin Shubao admired the righteousness of these common people. Is this the Chaoyang crowd that Bai Fan mentioned to the emperor before?

He helped up a few people by himself, and comforted them with a smile: "Don't worry, folks, the thieves will take this, and your children will definitely become useful. Now you leave your address and route, and hide in the county government for a while, and wait for me." Take the thief so you can go home safely."

After getting the route map of the thief's residence and resettling several people, Qin Qiong explained to Zhou Dao about the underworld. Zhou Dao was also furious. Although he had been a civil servant for many years, he still had the blood on the battlefield. Fear, but anger, how could they help foreigners deal with Lan Tianhou regardless of enemy or friend?

"Qin Hu, with my general's warrant, go to Chang'an quickly, and call in three thousand elite cavalry from the left military guard. He is going to personally exterminate these traitors who have turned to the enemy."

Qin Qiong got angry. He didn't know how many people there were in the underworld, but he wanted to send 500 people to take revenge on the academy. The Green Forest of the Tang Dynasty has always been a hero, and there are so many scum of ethnic groups, they should be killed!

Two hours later, Qin Qiong led the team in armor, followed by a hundred guards, and the county magistrate Zhou Dao, who was also in a rare military uniform, attacked directly from north to south, completely encircling Suanzao Lane in the southwest of Lantian County.

The astute person among the underworld figures shouted: "No, it's the cavalry, the cavalry of the imperial court, we have been exposed."

After all, they are people who have been in the rivers and lakes for many years. After a short period of confusion, they quickly drew their weapons and looked at the door together, ready to defend and fight.

"The thieves are coming out, so is Tang Qin Qiong! Who is the leader, show up quickly!" Qin Qiong shouted with a pair of maces in his hands.

Everyone was shocked, but they felt a little relieved. Qin Qiong was fine. He was born in the green forest. It was the tacit rule that the court did not suppress the green forest. Qin Qiong's reputation as a chivalrous man was all black and white, so he probably wouldn't kill.

I saw the door in the middle opened, revealing the figure inside, an eight-foot man in black strode out first and laughed loudly: "So it's Brother Qin, he's being ruthless and polite when getting off the iron."

"Second Brother Qin, do you remember Qi Wusheng on the south bank of the Yangtze River?"

"No. 36 on the list of killers—Soul Killer, I've seen Second Master Qin of the Green Forest!"

Two more people came out from the courtyards on both sides, and greeted Qin Qiong one after another.

Qin Qiong didn't even get off the horse, and sneered, "The old Jiu Tie Wuqing, who is the twelve evils of the underworld? Qi Wusheng, who ranks No. 12 as the living dead of the Yangtze River? I didn't expect that you would surrender to the enemy and treason, okay, okay!

Hmph, as for the killing of souls?Haven't heard of it, the unknown junior also has a name?There is no green forest Qin Shubao here today, only the great general Qin Qiong of Zuowuwei of the Tang Dynasty who came to suppress the bandits! "
