The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 29 Red Fox Mountain

Song Wei's plan was going on in secret bit by bit.

But now, a group of people came under the Red Fox Mountain.

This is Wu Zhenkun's man.

After Wu Zhenkun took all the salt into his home, Wu Zhenkun ordered people to go to Red Fox Mountain.

Red Fox Mountain is located twenty miles outside the town of Zhen'an County.

And generally no one would pass by near Red Fox Mountain.

Because there is a terrible legend about Red Fox Mountain.

There is a bandit den on Red Fox Mountain, and the name of the bandit den is Red Fox.

Many years ago a man named Red Fox came to this mountain.

And led more than a dozen people to occupy the mountain.

After occupying this mountain, people called red foxes often go down the mountain to rob.

The surrounding yamen have been dispatched, but all of them have returned without success.

There is no way, the bandits are too powerful, and the paths in the mountains are intricate, as long as the Yamen gathers a large number of catchers, they will disperse and flee into the mountains.

The catcher in the mountain yamen has no way to identify the direction, and several people will pop up and kill the catcher inadvertently.

The catcher lost a lot, and in the end it didn't matter.

Later, people called this mountain Red Fox Mountain.

They were all accustomed to them going down the mountain to rob, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Some people who were near Red Fox Mountain moved away from this place one after another.

But there are still some people who don't want to leave, and will be ransacked by red foxes every once in a while.

But this time, what Wu Zhenkun wanted was for Red Fox to attack Song Wei.

A group of people at the foot of the mountain stood at the foot of the mountain, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, a carriage came to them, and Wu Zhenkun slowly got out of the carriage.

Looking at the Red Fox Mountain in front of him, Wu Zhenkun's eyes twitched.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, he doesn't want to come to this place either.

When he first took over the grain and salt in Zhen'an County, the red fox ransacked the goods when they passed through the Red Fox Mountain.

How could Wu Zhenkun endure such humiliation at that time, so he sent people to Red Fox Mountain to exterminate the red fox.

But the result was that no one sent by Wu Zhenkun was spared and all died here.

After that, Wu Zhenkun never mentioned this matter again, and he also bypassed Red Fox Mountain far away when purchasing.

After looking at the people around him, Wu Zhenkun mounted a horse and said calmly: "Let's go."

The people around him didn't speak, they all raised their spirits.

They know where this place is, and if they don't want to die here, they should raise their spirits.

Wu Zhenkun and his party slowly went deep into the mountain. After a long time, they met a person who stopped them when they were approaching the top of the mountain.

"The forbidden area ahead, if you don't want to suffer the red fox's revenge, leave quickly."

The person who stopped Wu Zhenkun was a burly man.

He looks like he is in his 30s, with a beard all over his face.

It's because of his full beard that we can't clearly estimate his age.

But there is a long scar on the face that is clearly visible.

Wu Zhenkun asked his people to stop, and then said to the big man in front of him, "This is Wu Zhenkun from Zhen'an County. I want to meet the leader of the red fox today. I have something important to discuss. Please accommodate me."

As he spoke, Wu Zhenkun took out a heavy purse.

Handing the money bag to the big man in front, the big man shook the money bag and showed a satisfied smile.

But turning around, he still refused: "No, the leader of the red fox never sees outsiders. If you have nothing else to do, you should leave as soon as possible."

However, after taking the money, the burly man's tone eased a lot.

Wu Zhenkun frowned, today he had to meet the leader of the red fox no matter what.

But now he can't force it.

"Little brother, please do me a favor, go inside and report that Wu Zhenkun of Zhen'an County wants to discuss a cooperation with the leader of the red fox for more than tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Wu Zhenkun still said with a glimmer of hope.

And just after Wu Zhenkun finished speaking, the burly man's eyes widened, and his breath gradually became unstable.

Just now he said more than tens of thousands of taels of silver?

He has never seen thousands of taels of silver since he grew up, so how much is tens of thousands of taels of silver?

He didn't know, and he didn't dare to imagine.

"Little brother? Little brother?"

Wu Zhenkun called out twice cautiously, interrupting the big man's fantasy.

"Ok?"

The big man gave a light snort.

"Please go in and let me know, little brother. This matter is extremely important. You need to discuss it with the leader of the red fox. Don't worry, little brother. I'll wait here and won't move around."

In order to reassure the big man, Wu Zhenkun asked everyone to get off their horses and stand where they were.

To be honest, the burly man was moved.

That was tens of thousands of taels of silver, but he was just a sentinel in the bandit den, and they had the right to make any decisions.

Looking at Wu Zhenkun and the others, they seemed to be sincere.

In the end, the big man still said: "You just wait here. If the leader doesn't want to see you, then I have no choice but to leave."

The big man spoke slowly, and Wu Zhenkun nodded: "Don't worry, little brother, as long as the leader of the red fox says he doesn't want to see me, I'll leave immediately without stopping for a while."

Wu Zhenkun is already showing some flattery at this moment, if outsiders see this, they will definitely not believe it.

The big man nodded, turned around and left without stopping.

Wu Zhenkun and others also waited in place.

As the sentinel of the bandit den, the burly man should not be able to leave his position.

But this matter has far exceeded his right to decide.

It's a pity he didn't have many rights in the first place.

Came to the top of the Red Fox Mountain, where a small tribe was built.

A long fence made of trees surrounds all the houses.

There were two other people right at the door.

The burly man came to the door and was stopped by those two people.

"Brother Qiang, shouldn't you be guarding outside? Why did you come back suddenly?"

one of them asked.

The burly man looked at the person who spoke.

Slowly said: "Don't mention it, I was guarding well, but a group of people appeared."

The moment of the big man made the two people excited.

"Who is so bold? If you dare to go to Red Fox Mountain, do they think you have a long life? What, has Brother Qiang come back to call for help? I'll call for help right away!"

The person who spoke before asked several questions in succession.

It's really boring for him to guard the gate here, and now someone dares to go up the Red Fox Mountain and instantly becomes interested.

He thought that it would be interesting to kill everyone in that group.

The burly man hurriedly called out to that person: "Hey, hey, Xiao Shengzi, don't call someone."

"They didn't come here to find work, but to see the leader."

The man named Xiao Shengzi stopped and looked at the burly man suspiciously: "Want to see the leader?"

The big man nodded: "Yes, they said he is Wu Zhenkun from Zhen'an County, and he wants to meet the leader to discuss matters."

After hearing what the big man said, Xiao Shengzi's eyes became even more excited: "I've heard of Wu Zhenkun, he's a squire from Zhen'an County! If we tie him up, we should be able to extort a lot of money, right?"

The big man knocked Xiao Shengzi on the head, and said fiercely: "Don't always think about money, money, let me in quickly, you and I can't afford this matter!"
