I

Arriving at Ji'an Prefecture, there is a stream of the Gan River called Heshui.

Zhao Han hired a boat to go up the Heshui, and three days later came to a valley.

There are mountains on all sides, a water passing through, the valley in the middle is like the bottom of a well, and the peaks on all sides are like the walls of a well, which is called "Jinggang Town".

It has no connection with Jinggangshan in later generations, and before the Republic of China, there was no such name as Jinggangshan.

If you want to talk about the relationship, this place is about 70 kilometers away from Jinggang Mountain, and it takes hundreds of miles to walk on the mountain road.

"Zhao Xianggong, there is a banknote gate ahead," the boatman suddenly reminded. "If you pass the banknote checkpoint, you have to pay the tax yourself. If you don't want to pay more money, you can disembark here."

"Then get off the boat," Zhao Han said.

Heshui is the main waterway from central Jiangxi to Huguang. It is also expected that the eunuchs set up private checkpoints here to make money.

The four got off the boat and walked, while the passenger boat turned around and returned to Ji'an.

Zhao Han observed the mountain all the way, and when he came to the mouth of the valley, he immediately exclaimed, "There are five hundred soldiers here. If you build a water village, you can withstand tens of thousands of troops."

Pang Chunlai said with a smile: "You still have to build a naval division, otherwise the officers and soldiers will be able to enter the valley directly by boat."

"Indeed." Zhao Han nodded.

The valley is a closed world, sealed off by the mountains on all sides.

Cultivated land is relatively scarce, many hillsides have been reclaimed, and some miscellaneous grains are planted to increase food production.

Zhao Han inquired all the way, and finally found the location of the inspection department, which turned out to be a broken temple...

Several archers were lying on the ground basking in the sun, and when they saw Zhao Han, they didn't say a word, and they didn't even bother to open their eyes.

"Is Fei Patrol here?" Zhao Han asked.

Archers are not any kind of arms, but soldiers of the Inspection Division, part-time civilian police, criminal police and armed police.

The archers finally opened their eyes, and one of them asked, "Is there anything you need to do with the fourth master?"

Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "We are Patrol Fei's family. He hasn't been home for the New Year for two years. Master asked me to visit."

"That's my own, and I'll take you there." An archer slapped his butt and led the way.

Zhao Han asked as he walked, "Why is your yamen a broken temple?"

The archer said depressedly: "The yamen was occupied by the eunuchs, and there is no money to be made. We are the only ones left in the entire inspection department."

"So it is." Zhao Han felt a little interesting.

He continued to inquire about the details. It turned out that Fei Yinggong was a diligent king and was thrown to Jinggang Town for inspection. The bandits under his command also turned into inspection archers.

At the beginning, it was quite moisturizing, after all, it was guarding a commercial town.

But just last year, the tax supervisor was suddenly parachuted, bringing with him more than a dozen thugs.Without saying a word, the eunuch occupied the yamen of the inspection department, and paid the money to lure the archers to join him.

One-third of Fei Yinggong's soldiers went to the eunuchs, and one-third chose to leave.

After the beginning of the spring, one after another, there were only six archers left.

Being so useless is purely the identity of the eunuch. Killing the eunuch is like a rebellion, because the eunuch represents the emperor's life.

Everyone quickly entered the town. There was only one street along the river, and the scale was completely incomparable to Hekou Town.

"The fourth master lives here." The leading archer pointed to a residential building and said.

After knocking on the door for a while, the black strong man came out.

Zhao Han immediately smiled and said, "Tie Nu, we meet again."

The strong black man scratched his head, not impressed by Zhao Han, but let them in the yard anyway.

In a very ordinary folk courtyard, Fei Yinggong was dancing a sword in the courtyard, and the dance was obviously a drunken sword.

This guy was holding a jug in his hand, staggering on his feet, unable to stand still, and he didn't take care of his beard for a long time.

"Fourth Uncle!" Zhao Han shouted.

Fei Yinggong's drunken eyes were hazy, she came over with her sword slanted, and stared at Zhao Han for a long time: "You are...the one in the eldest brother's courtyard..."

Zhao Han cupped his hands and smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Han, and I'll meet my fourth uncle."

"Big brother asked you to come find me?"

Fei Yinggong hiccupped and said unsteadily, "I...no...don't go back, I'm not from the Fei family...people!"

Fei Yinggong's wife died early and brought a daughter home, but she was not recognized by Mrs. Fei, so angry that she took her daughter away.

"Dad, there are guests here?" Fei Ruhui walked out of the room.

Looking at his bun, he knew that he was married, and this was probably Fei Yinggong's son-in-law's home.

Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "I've seen my sister, my name is Zhao Han, I'm here to join the fourth uncle."

Fei Ruhui hurriedly greeted: "Come and sit in the room."

"Sister, don't be polite, if you have something to do, go and do it." Zhao Han said with a smile.

"Not busy, not busy." Fei Ruhui said enthusiastically.

Fei Ruhui is 16 years old this year, with a relatively dignified appearance. She is currently wearing a simple cotton coat.

She was busy and busy, brought out a few benches to the courtyard, and poured tea and water for everyone. It was the kind of virtuous and generous character.

Zhao Han vaguely remembered that Fei Yinggong had two attendants by his side.

At this time, there was only one black man left, and the other one probably ran away. No wonder Fei Yinggong stayed at home drinking all day.

Depressed.

After slowing down for a while, Fei Yinggong sobered up a little, and spoke a lot more quickly: "Where's my eldest brother? Have you been admitted to the jinshi?"

Zhao Han replied, "The eldest young master has fallen off the list, and now he is the magistrate of Suqian."

"It's fine to be a county official," Fei Yinggong sat on the ground with the jug in hand, and simply lay down again, confused, "How did you get here?"

Zhao Han was [-]% false and [-]% true, and began to make up a story: "Miss's fiancé died at the hands of rogues, and the old lady forced her to sacrifice her husband..."

As soon as he said a word, Fei Yinggong suddenly sat up and cursed: "That old bastard, he really can do it! It's fine if he doesn't recognize my daughter, even the eldest brother's daughter will be forced to death!"

Zhao Han continued: "The young lady wanted to betroth me to the young lady, but the old lady found out about it and took away my child's student status. The young lady returned my body deed and wanted me to be independent and marry the young lady to me. The master in the county collects money and does nothing, and colluded with the old man to lure me to the county government to arrest me and go to jail."

"How did you escape?" Fei Yinggong asked.

Zhao Han said with a smile, "I couldn't get over it, so I killed Master and Dianshi, and set the county government on fire."

"Hahahahaha!"

Fei Yinggong's eyes widened at first, then he laughed loudly, pointed at Zhao Han and said, "You are a kind of corrupt official, you should kill them and then hurry up. Come, come and have a drink with me!"

"Dad, don't drink any more." Fei Ruhui quickly discouraged.

"Okay, don't drink, don't drink," Fei Yinggong shook her head with a wry smile, and took another sip of wine, "You came to join me, but it's a pity that you came too late. This inspection is really boring in front of you, and you were caught by an eggless person. The eunuch bullied me. At the time, there were only a few brothers left with me. You have no future if you defected to me, go away, go away. I am a waste!"

Zhao Han didn't really want to take refuge, he just wanted to find a place to stay first, and then observe where the countryside was suitable for a fight.

Zhao Han said, "Fourth Uncle, the world is so big, where can't you go? Being bullied by a eunuch, you hide and drink all day?"

"None of your business, get out!"

Like a cat whose tail has been trampled, Fei Yinggong suddenly scolded her just now, as if she was still in a state of drunkenness.

"Then I'll get out, fourth uncle will meet again." Zhao Han was not angry, he found an inn and stayed there.

Fei Ruhui quickly smoothed things out: "Don't be angry, my father has a bad temper recently."

Fei Yinggong was still playing drunken madness, sitting on the ground and shouting: "I have always had a bad temper. If you want to get out, get away! Get out, get out!"

Zhang Tieniu didn't say a word at first, but he couldn't help it at this moment. He held the axe and said angrily: "What's the arrogance of a broken inspector? There's a kind of fight with me Tieniu for [-] rounds!"

Chen Maosheng quickly persuaded: "Brother Tie Niu, don't get angry, and you have something to say."

Pang Chunlai has been silent, he is too lazy to care about such trivial matters.

"Tie Nu, shoot people out!" Fei Yinggong roared.

The strong black man picked up a stick and hit Zhang Tie Niu in the head, not afraid of killing people on the spot.

"Mother-in-law thief, you are really trying your best." Zhang Tieniu hurriedly dodged.

Seeing this, Fei Ruhui shouted, "Stop hitting, don't hit!"

There was a commotion in the yard, what was this all about.

Zhao Han was also speechless, and said, "Let's go, don't be as knowledgeable as a drunk madman, and talk about it when he wakes up."

The four of them hadn't left when one suddenly came in.

The visitor, dressed as a farmer, about twenty years old, ran with a hoe and said, "Master Taishan, there's a fight outside the town."

"Fight, it's good to kill them all!" Fei Yinggong roared.

Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, I am the fourth uncle's family. What happened?"

The man was stunned for a while, and then said: "Spring ploughing and fighting for water, the Liang family took refuge in the eunuch and occupied the canals outside the town. The other families were not angry and struggled with the tenants to grab the water. Who knew that the eunuch sent thugs, and now it is Coming soon."

Fei Yinggong suddenly asked, "Is there no water in our fields?"

"It's gone. Once the canal is occupied, we can only jump into the river to irrigate the fields." The person said.

Fei Yinggong stood up abruptly, raised his sword and rushed out: "Enter his mother, I didn't trouble him, this dead eunuch kicked his nose in the face. I chopped him up today, this inspection is not done, enter Go to the mountain as a bandit!"

Chapter 084 [Looting Banknotes]

Fei Yinggong was in a state of drunken rage, but kept a hint of sobriety.

He rushed out the door with his sword in hand, and shouted, "Yan Jiu, say hello brothers, follow me to kill the eunuch!"

"okay!"

The archer who led the way to Zhao Han immediately smiled.

Being able to resist the eunuch's money temptation, and being able to stay and never leave, is definitely Fei Yinggong's die-hard loyal.

These guys are not afraid of the government, they have long wanted to slash the eunuch with one knife, and then go away as bandits.

"Daddy!"

"Lord Taishan!"

The daughter and son-in-law panicked. They wanted to stop but couldn't. They could only stand at the door and worry.

This son-in-law is called Yang Fengsu, a child born in this town.His family actually lived outside the town and was recruited by Fei Yinggong to be his son-in-law. This small courtyard was also financed by Fei Yinggong.

In addition, Fei Yinggong also bought more than ten acres of land and used his means to forcefully buy it from big households.

"Let's go take a look?" Zhang Tie Niu asked.

"Go," Zhao Han turned around and said, "Sir, you and Maosheng are waiting here, close the courtyard door and don't let anyone in."

Pang Chunlai patted the iron sword on his waist: "Let's go together, I can kill Tartars before."

Chen Maosheng was a little scared, but he was numb. He found a piece of firewood from the courtyard, took it as a stick in his hand, and followed Zhao Han out of the house step by step.

"Oh, nothing, nothing!"

Yang Fengsu picked up his hoe and went out to chase.

Fei Ruhui shouted: "Husband, don't go all out!"

Yang Fengsu stopped and said, "Master Taishan is going to kill the eunuch. Whether we can kill it or not, we can still escape the relationship? We will fight the eunuch today!"

Fei Ruhui stomped her feet in anger, suddenly turned around and entered the room, took out a sword from the bottom of the bed, and quickly chased after her father.

"Miss, you...you you you..." Yang Fengsu was inexplicably horrified.

Fei Ruhui had already rushed in front of her husband and urged, "Desperately, what are you still doing?"

At this moment, Yang Fengsu's mind was muddy, and he ran with his wife subconsciously. Looking at the sword in his wife's hand, he always felt that he was too amateur to carry a hoe.

Because of the competition for the canal, there has been a fight outside the town.

However, Fei Yinggong ignored it and ran straight to the ruined temple, holding up his sword and shouting, "I've had enough of the bird's anger, I want to kill the eunuch today, do you dare to go together!"

"Go together, go together!"

The archers lying on the ground basking in the sun instantly became refreshed and went into the temple to look for weapons.

Their job is to be archers, but they don't even have a bow, they are all swords and clubs.
