In order to attract the attention of Zhengde and the cabinet, Zhou Chong lied that Liu Liu and Liu Qi had connections with Yang Hu in Shandong. In fact, this was just a nonsense. As for whether Liu Liu Liu Qi and Yang Hu had contact in advance, he was also fundamentally

Not clear.

However, what Zhou Chong didn't know was that his nonsense was true. In fact, Liu Liu, Liu Qi, Qi Yanming and others had known Yang Hu many years ago, and their friendship was still

That's right, so after Yang Hu heard the news of Liu Liu and Liu Qi's rebellion, he couldn't wait to rush to Bazhou to meet them. The reason why Yang Hu knew Qi Yanming and others was a bit complicated.

We need to introduce Yang Hu first.

Yang Hu is actually a person near the capital, and his hometown is not far from Bazhou. His family is also burdened by Ma Zheng. His parents also passed away early, leaving only Yang Hu and two younger brothers at home, which made Yang Hu bear the responsibility early.

But relying solely on renting the land of wealthy farmers, he couldn't even have enough food to eat every day. Finally, Yang Hu made a cruel decision to make the same choice as Liu Liu and Liu Qi, that is

Making a loud horse.

In other words, Yang Hu was with Liu Liu and Liu Qi and others before, but they did not belong to the same horse. Later, when robbing a wealthy family, Liu Liu and Liu Qi cooperated with Yang Hu's team, so

I let several people get to know each other, and later they often contacted each other, and even robbed them together several times.

Although Xiangma appears to be lawless in burning, killing, looting, but in fact, they are mostly ordinary wealthy families. As for those families with deep backgrounds, such as some families with officials in their families, they generally don’t move, after all, they rob.

After such a family, it is likely to attract strong encirclement from the government. Therefore, before the robbery, Xiangma would inquire about the background of the target family so as not to cause trouble for himself.

However, Yang Hu and his team fell into this matter later. During a robbery, Yang Hu's team did not understand the origin of the other party. They only realized that they were robbed when they killed the person and received the money.

The family had a daughter who married the son of a second-rank official in the dynasty. She happened to go home to visit her husband that day. What's even worse was that the other party was pregnant with a baby boy of six or seven months in his belly. They also killed him.

It's right.

When the news reached the capital, the second-rank official who was determined to hold his grandson was so angry that he ran to the cabinet that day and cried to Li Dongyang and others, and also participated in the dereliction of duty in the governments in the south of the Beijing area, causing local bandits to

If you are rampant, your family will suffer as well.

It is natural that the result is not to be said. The court attached great importance to this matter and immediately ordered the county government in the south to solve the case. At the same time, the army completely eliminated the bandits, which caused a lot of losses to the Xiangma Team. In addition, the Xiangma Team where Yang Hu was located became an official government

The key to encirclement and suppression was that they could only hide from Tibet all day long, and even dared not enter the villages. After a few months, they were both human and ghosts. In the end, Yang Hu and others couldn't stand it anymore, so they fought.

The banner of rebellion was directly against the government, but they actually called on many people.

However, the rebellions of Yang Hu and others did not have much impact. The court did not even send the Beijing camp. The local guards alone killed Yang Hu and others, and Yang Hu and other leaders were defeated.

It was also a dead escape. Among them, Yang Hu was lucky to flee to Shandong territory with a group of people, where he occupied the mountains and became king. Although he was still under the banner of rebellion, he was actually a group of bandits. And because they occupied it

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The officers and soldiers attacked several times but failed to defeat them. In the end, they let Yang Hu occupy the mountain and become the king.

Qi Yanming was desperate, thinking about the letter Yang Hu wrote to Liu Liu and Liu Qi. He also thought about the relationship between the two, which finally made him make a decision, which was to go to Shandong to join Yang Hu, and then look for an opportunity to make a comeback.

.

After having a goal in his heart, Qi Yanming cheered up and rested in the ruined temple for a few days. He waited until the arrow wound on his leg was almost healed, and then he left here and prepared to go to Shandong.

However, when Qi Yanming left the ruined temple, he realized that the government wanted him very closely. Not only were the towns covered with signs of wanted notices, but even some villages also had portraits of wanted him hanging. Just rewarding silver

When it reaches two thousand taels, it can be said that if he can be caught, he will immediately become rich overnight. Therefore, many profit-willed people are trying to find his traces.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Yanming found that he was almost unable to move forward. Most of the levels he encountered on the road were set to capture him. Once he was recognized and the other party shouted loudly, but it turned out that

The son attracted more than ten or half a year to pursue him. Fortunately, he had extraordinary martial arts skills, so he finally escaped. Since then, Qi Yanming has never dared to appear in crowded places again.

Because some major traffic roads have checkpoints, Qi Yanming could only go into the mountains and circles. He even took a lot of effort to bypass the checkpoints several times, but found that there were still officers and soldiers guarding him, which forced him to go on the road.

He returned and then tried another road. In the end, he walked around the mountains for many days, but still failed to leave the territory of Bazhou.

On this day, Qi Yanming came to a place called Shizui Cliff. Because one of the mountains here looks like a human lips, it was named Shizui Cliff. As long as you cross this mountain, you will leave Bazhou.

In the territory, I believe the outside world will not be as strict as Bazhou.

Qi Yanming is not unfamiliar with Shizui Cliff. When they rebelled two months ago, he and Liu Liu came here to recruit soldiers. Because this place is famously poor, they recruited many people who are willing to follow them.

Rebellion, but now they are probably dead on the battlefield.

When Qi Yanming came here it was already dusk, he saw some residents scattered at the foot of Shizui Cliff. Most of the dilapidated houses had already risen from graceful smoke, and it seemed that they were preparing to make supper.

Seeing the smoke from the cooking stove in the distance, Qi Yanming twitched his nose. Although he was still a long way from the village, he seemed to have smelled the fragrance of food. Speaking of which, he hid everywhere these days, wandering around the mountains every day.

, I was hungry and full, and I couldn't eat any serious meals, especially now that he hadn't eaten anything for a whole day and night. The last time I ate was just a palm-length from the river.

The fish, so now his stomach is burning with hunger and he wishes he could rush into a family and have a big meal.

However, although he was so hungry, Qi Yanming forced himself to keep moving with great perseverance. After all, he had been here before, so many people must know him. And now there are articles that want him everywhere, and in this village

People should also know that if he broke in so recklessly, he would probably be arrested by people in the village for silver rewards.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Yanming squatted in the bushes until midnight. After the people in the village were asleep, he slowly approached the village with a knife. Because the families in the village usually raise dogs, Qi Yanming

After a few tests, I chose a family close to the outside of the village and no dogs in the yard to climb over the wall.

After entering this family, Qi Yanming looked at the moonlight in the sky and found that the house of this family was particularly dilapidated, the earthen walls made of yellow mud were weathered in an unsatisfactory way, and the thatch on the roof should be replaced, not big.

There were some miscellaneous items in the yard, and a faint snoring sound came from the main room.

Qi Yanming didn't want to alarm the owner of this family. He just wanted to find some food now, and then go to the forest to have a good sleep. After he was fully nourished, he would cross the mountains and leave Bazhou tomorrow. Therefore, he could touch it quietly.

This family cooks the thatched sanctuary, and they open the pot to find some leftovers.

However, what disappointed Qi Yanming was that the pot of this family was extremely clean and there was no food at all. Moreover, he searched through the entire thatched hut and could not find any food to eat. In fact, this was not surprising, like a stone

In the poor place like Zui Cli, every household has nothing valuable, and the food in the family is only enough to make a living, so every household attaches great importance to food. Moreover, these families do not have a special kitchen, so the place where they cook is a broken shed.

, so precious food will naturally not be placed here, and is usually hidden in the house where they live.

Qi Yanming was almost hungry at this time, and he also knew that other families in this village might be similar to this one. It is estimated that the food is hidden in the house, so if he wants to find something to eat, he can only take the risk of entering.

In the house.

Thinking of this, Qi Yanming didn't care about anything else and quietly came to the main house of this family. He first pushed the window, but found that they were all tied to death. Finally, he had to come to the door and then inserted the knife into the door.

The crack was used to open the door bolts bit by bit, while carefully listening to the movements in the house.

Qi Yanming was lucky. When he opened the door smoothly, the snoring inside did not stop. He gently pushed the door open and entered the room. He tiptoed to search the outer room, but he still couldn't find it.

Qi Yanming scolded the family for being careful, and probably all the food was placed in the room where they slept.

In desperation, Qi Yanming quietly came to the door of the inner room. The inner room and the outer room were separated by a curtain. Qi Yanming lifted the curtain and looked at it, but found that he was facing the window alone.

Two people were asleep on the bed. Through the moonlight coming through the gap in the window, they could see their gray hair on their heads. It seemed that they were an old couple. This made Qi Yanming feel relieved and secretly called him very good luck, but he actually came.

When he went to the home where only one old man was alone, he could escape calmly even if he alarmed the other person.

Qi Yanming quietly entered the inner room and soon found a bamboo basket on a small table beside the bed with a few black steamed buns inside. This made him happy and immediately lowered his body and put the steamed buns on it.
