In the eyes of the Ruijin landlords, the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court to pacify the chaos were even more terrifying than those peasant troops!

When Zhao Han heard these rumors in the restaurant, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Many things in the late Ming Dynasty were simply disgusting.

What the hell is the landlord and the peasant army, guarding against the court officers and soldiers together?

Pang Chun said: "Ruijin is not only the leader of the three major field soldiers, but also has a tacit agreement with the government, generals, and landlords. I am afraid that no one wants to cause trouble again. Even if you go to Ruijin, you will not find anything cheap. Are the big leaders all working with you?"

Zhao Han explained: "The students just went to Ruijin to see the situation, and got to know the three chiefs by the way. The real goals are Ji'an and Taihe counties. The fourth young master of the Fei family, who is currently the Jinggang patrol inspection, can go to seek refuge with him first. If you start a rebellion here, if you retreat, you can hide in the mountains (in the area of ​​Jinggang Mountain), and if you advance, you can go south to take Ganzhou, and join the peasant army in southern Gansu and western Fujian."

Pang Chunlai suddenly stood up: "I'll go with you!"

"It's freezing cold, sir, it's not advisable to travel long distances." Zhao Han quickly advised.

Pang Chunlai said with a smile: "Compared with Liaodong, Jiangxi's winter is nothing. Don't look old as a teacher, but the gray hair is just an illusion. I am not yet 50 years old."

Zhao Han knew that the teacher was very stubborn, so he didn't persuade him much. He just asked, "Have you figured it out, sir?"

"What else are you thinking about?" Pang Chunlai let out a sigh of relief, "I have been in Hanzhu Mountain Nest for several years, and I have long wanted to change places. This place really makes me panic! When are you going?"

"Tonight." Zhao Han said.

Pang Chunlai immediately sat down and wrote letters, one to the mountain chief Fei Yuanlu, one to his friend Zheng Zhongkui, and one to his student Xu Ying.

After handing the three letters to the school teacher he knew, Pang Chunlai took the money and left immediately, and took out an iron sword and hung it around his waist.

Zhao Han supported the teacher, stepped on the undissolved snow, and walked straight to Hekou Town in the cold wind.

It was already evening when they arrived, and the master and the apprentice were not in a hurry. They went to Dingsheng Building to have a meal first.

While eating and drinking, Zhao Han called Fei Ze: "Brother Jiandan, I'm going to a long way. When Ruhe comes, you can give him the manuscripts in my room. It's up to him whether to print Goose Lake Xunkan again. Make up your mind, the fourth phase should be able to make money after the price increase."

"Where is brother going?" Fei Ze asked.

Zhao Han laughed nonsense: "At the request of the young lady, I went to her mother's house in Jiujiang to do business."

Fei Ze congratulated: "Brother is more and more valued by the lady."

Chat for a while and fill your stomach.

Zhao Han helped Pang Chunlai and went to the pier to board the boat in the dark, but saw a black figure climbing the wooden pole.

If you don't see it, keep walking towards the river.

The master and apprentice quickly entered the cabin, and a boatman immediately went ashore and untied the ropes tied to the shore.

Sombra failed several times, but finally climbed to the club head, cut the rope with an axe, and took the heads of the Sun brothers.

As soon as the boatman finished untying the ropes, the black shadow rushed over with his head in his hand, an axe in hand, and threatened in a low voice, "Send me to Henglin by boat, or I'll kill you!"

It is no coincidence that there is only such a boat parked near the wooden pole where the head is hanging.

"Okay... good man, please forgive me!" The boatman was so frightened that his body went weak.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" The shadows urged again and again, but the boatmen didn't dare to obey, and walked to the boat one after the other.

This guy rushed into the cabin recklessly, and shouted with an axe: "Be honest, the Sa family is just taking the boat, don't force me... Hey, Xiao Xianggong is also there?"

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Brother Tie Niu, it's freezing outside, sit down and warm yourself up to the fire."

Chapter 080 [Murder and Dispose of Corpse]

Passenger boats set off overnight, relying solely on a few lanterns to observe the river.

Zhang Tie Niu put the axe back into his waist, took out a cloth bag, and put the heads of the Sun brothers in it.

Zhao Han introduced, "This is my mentor, Mr. Pang, and this is Zhang Tieniu from the Iron Feet Club."

Pang Chunlai didn't despise the people at the bottom, clasped his fists and said, "It's a pleasure to meet!"

"I'm not a member of the Iron Feet Club," Zhang Tie said angrily. "In the Iron Feet Club, there are only a bunch of ungrateful bastards left!"

Zhao Han said with a smile, "Brother Tie Niu is indeed righteous, and dared to take the risk to get the head back."

"The two brothers are in different places, and even if I die, I have to return their entire bodies," Zhang Tieniu said, patting the table, "It's your little husband, who has thin skin and tender meat, and you're not afraid when you see your head. Kind of brave."

With no one available around Zhao Han, the idea of ​​accepting a younger brother was born, and he laughed deliberately: "If you go to the county town to inquire about it, you will know what courage is."

Zhang Tieniu said disdainfully: "Is it possible, who are you helping to get their heads back in the county town?"

Zhao Han took out the kettle from the charcoal stove, made a cup of tea for the two of them, and said, "Master and Dianshi swallowed my money and wanted to put me in jail. I killed them all, and killed a few who were in the way. The yamen of the county was burnt to nothing. The yellow book of household registration, fish scale book, and tax book of the whole county have now turned to fly ashes.”

Zhang Tieniu drank the tea with a smile, and spit it out from the heat. He pointed at Zhao Han and said, "You little Xianggong, you really know how to brag."

Zhao Han held the teacup to warm his hands, smiled and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the county office to see... Of course, if the county office doesn't burn out."

Zhang Tieniu just thought it was a joke and said to Pang Chun, "Mr. Pang, do you believe it?"

"I believe," Pang Chunlai understood Zhao Han's intention, "for such a disaster, we master and apprentice can only abscond in fear of the crime."

Zhang Tieniu looked at Pang Chunlai and then at Zhao Han, and suddenly it seemed to be true.

Otherwise, why did the master and the apprentice leave the estuary by boat overnight?

Zhang Tieniu was stunned. He felt that it was very "Water Margin" behavior for him to take the head in the dark. Who would have thought that he would still encounter murderers and arsonists in the county government.

"Xiao Xianggong," Zhang Tieniu gave a thumbs up, "you are a man, Tieniu is convinced!"

Zhao Han asked, "The heads of the two grandsons, are you going to take them to Henglin Town?"

"If you haven't arrived in the town, go back a little bit," Zhang Tieniu said. "The two brothers from the Sun family, whose hometown is just outside Henglin Town, are buried quietly in the woods. I'll take my head and bury them together and leave. This lead mountain is I can't get along anymore, that fellow Fei Yu has decent people looking for me everywhere."

"Where can I go?" Zhao Han asked again.

Zhang Tieniu shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet. It doesn't matter where I go, the big deal is to change to another wharf to work as a coolie."

Zhao Han smiled and said, "Follow me from now on."

"Are you going to be a scholar with you? I can't be a book boy." Zhang Tieniu waved his hands again and again.

Zhao Han asked back, "I set the county government on fire, do you think it's still possible to take the exam?"

"Uh." Zhang Tieniu was at a loss for words, rubbing his head and smirking.

Zhao Han asked again, "I plan to rebel in another place, are you interested?"

"Rebel means rebel... What? You want to rebel!" Zhang Tieniu stood up in shock.

The sound was so loud that even a few boatmen heard it, trembling all over with fright, and had the urge to jump into the river to escape.

Zhao Han sighed, "Hey, be quiet, sit down and talk."

Zhang Tieniu quickly lowered his voice, sat back and asked, "Xiao Xianggong really wants to rebel?"

Zhao Han didn't answer, but asked, "How many people are there in your family?"

"All of them died, and I was the only one," Zhang Tieniu recalled. "More than ten years ago, there was a catastrophe in Qianshan Mountain, and all my family members died of starvation. So I went to Hekou Town to work as a coolie. Unfortunately, I lived to be almost 15 years old, and I met such a good official."

Zhao Han began to guide: "If we rebel and seize the world, no corrupt officials are allowed to harm the people! Do you know how Emperor Taizu dealt with corrupt officials?"

Zhang Tieniu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhao Han said: "Emperor Taizu also came from a hard life. His parents starved to death, so he made a living by herding cattle for the landlord. When there was a famine, he had to become a monk. He couldn't get enough to eat in the temple, so he went to be a beggar. You Can he not hate corrupt officials?"

"That must be hated. It's as miserable as my Tie Niu." Zhang Tie Niu patted the table and said.

Zhao Han continued to guide: "So, when Emperor Taizu won the world, there was a rule for officials. If anyone is greedy for more than 60 taels of silver, peel off the skin and fill it with grass!"

Zhang Tie Niu said: "Is it really that powerful?"

Zhao Han nodded and said, "It's really amazing. Later, too many corrupt officials were killed, and the chief officials of the prefectures and counties were not enough. The Taizu let the officials who were not very corrupt continue to govern the area with shackles. The prisoners knelt under the hall wearing shackles, and the officials sat on the hall wearing shackles.”

"Hahaha, that's very strange." Zhang Tieniu thought about that picture, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.

"So, how about rebelling with me? I'm the Emperor Taizu, and you can be Chang Yuchun." Zhao Han followed suit.

Zhang Tieniu patted the axe on his waist: "I want to be Li Kui, and I specially hit two axe."

Zhao Han scolded: "Look at your prowess, Li Kui has a fart, Chang Yuchun is a king, you don't want to be a king in the future?"

"Feng Wang?" Zhang Tie Niu swallowed his saliva and asked suspiciously, "Just the three of us, can a rebellion succeed? You are still a scholar, and people say that it is impossible for a scholar to rebel for ten years."

Zhao Han said in an unquestionable tone: "Taizu can sit in the world as a beggar, why can't I!"

Zhang Tieniu muttered, "Emperor Taizu descended from the stars."

"How do you know I'm not descended from the stars?" Zhao Han asked.

"This..." Zhang Tie Niu could only scratch his head.

It doesn't seem to be very smart, but unfortunately our family is not enough, and smart people can't recruit them for the time being.

Zhao Han said, "I will help you bury the heads of the two grandsons. You and I will rebel against the world. How?"

Zhang Tieniu nodded immediately: "Okay!"

The passenger ship has been traveling westward and will soon be able to see Henglin Town in the distance.

Zhang Tieniu walked outside the cabin, and after a while of observation, he suddenly shouted: "Just dock in front!"

Pang Chunlai stayed on the boat and waited, while Zhao Han and Zhang Tieniu went ashore to bury people... um, buried their heads.

Zhang Tieniu seemed to be very familiar with this place. He came to a small forest in the dark, and pointed to the place where a stick was inserted under the tree: "The two brothers are buried here, and they dare not raise a grave, nor erect a monument."

Zhao Han groped for a while in the dark and asked, "Did you prepare a hoe beforehand?"

"Forget it," Zhang Tieniu slapped his head violently, and handed Zhao Han an axe, "use this, the newly buried ground is very loose."

Zhao Han really wanted to hit him with an axe, when will this Nima have to dig?

The two had to use an axe to dig the soil, and on a winter night, they soon became tired and sweaty.

Suddenly, Zhao Han whispered, "Don't move, someone is coming."

Zhang Tieniu immediately stopped, and was lying behind the tree to observe secretly, only to see a few lanterns from far to near.

Those people also entered the grove. There were four of them. Two of them carried sacks, and the other two carried hoes.

"Buy it here."

"In the middle of the night, what to bury? Just throw it into the river."

"Yes, put a few big rocks in it, throw it into the river and it will sink."

"It's dark, where can I find a big stone? Just throw it like this, and it will rot in a few days. Even his mother won't recognize it."

"..."

These guys headed towards the river and happened to pass by not far from Zhao Han.

Zhang Tieniu said in a low voice, "Whoever kills and throws corpses away, don't care about this business?"

"It doesn't matter," Zhao Han said, "Don't make any extras."

Suddenly, another person said: "Hey, still moving, this guy's life is really tough, he didn't die even after fighting like that."

"In the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, if you throw it into the river, you will freeze to death if you don't drown. Let's see how hard his life is."

"If you want me to tell you, the old lady is too cruel."

"What is it? This guy seduced the master first, and then got on the young master's bed. It's no wonder that he wasn't beaten to death by the old lady!"

"..."

Zhang Tieniu was stunned, the amount of information in his words was too large, and the fact that father and son slept with the same woman would definitely cause a sensation in the entire lead mountain.

"People are not dead yet, can they be saved?" Zhang Tieniu asked.

Zhao Han had already put down his axe and rushed out with two heads in hand.

"Who?" The other party was shocked.

Zhao Han stretched out his hands and raised his two heads in front of him to cover his face.Regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not, he jumped up and down as a zombie, with a terrifying and strange laughter from his mouth.

Those guys were already terrified. They carefully looked forward with the lantern, and suddenly found that they were two heads.

"Ghost!"

"Run, it's a mandrill, it wants to eat people!"

Throwing down the sack and hoe, they all fled in panic, one guy even threw a lantern.

Zhao Han picked up the lantern, re-lit it with a fire stick, and untied the sack to check the situation.

His face was full of blood, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

Zhao Han threw the hoe over and said to Zhang Tieniu, "You dig soil at your own house, and I'll carry the man back to the boat."
