Chapter 10 Juyi Hall

Seeing someone coming to give gifts, the people on the Arrow Tower wanted to make some difference, but they didn't know that these gift-giving people only knew a tiger and were unwilling to give themselves some moisturizing. However, a tiger in this mountain village was indeed full of words. When the archers saw that the people in the Qin family were strict, they cursed in their hearts, "It's just aware of the situation" and urged people to open the village door for Qin Zhao and his group.

The old bandits who had been old were not very careful about these peasant men who were digging food from the soil. After eight people entered the door, the thieves didn't even come to search their bodies, so they put everyone in.

After all, this is an era when cold weapons are still the absolute mainstream. Although some of the Ming officers' troops are equipped with very small amounts of thermal weapons, they can only be achieved after having a complete logistics system. The small group of thieves on the Chiyun Peak have no idea about thermal weapons and have never encountered enemies with thermal weapons.

Even if they lifted the red cloth on the gunpowder box, they wouldn't guess that the iron box was filled with gunpowder.

Qin Zhao and Qin Youli looked at each other, with joy in their eyes. The two followed the robbers who led the way and guided the six husbands to carry the birthday gift in.

The thieves built various broken wooden sheds on Pingding Mountain and slept in those wooden sheds. These thieves were killing people and setting fires, and the level of building houses was really not satisfactory. The wooden sheds were built so tilted that they were built around. After Qin Zhao carefully observed them from afar, he knew that the wooden sheds were occupied by people. If he didn't observe them carefully, he thought they were cowshed stables.

At this time, there was no one in these rooms.

The flat top was quite large, the mountain road was rugged and turned, and there was originally a level. However, no one was guarding the level at this time.

Qin Zhao walked forward and suddenly saw the people from Liujia Village next door coming from Juyitang, which was obviously coming to give gifts. The Liu family sneered after seeing the old accountant Qin Youli and the big red cloth box behind him. Instead, they mocked Qinjia Village for being forced to the dead end and still came to give such a "expensive" birthday gift to the robbers.

Qin Youli snorted coldly, as a gift to return.

I saw a stable halfway through the way, which was built crookedly, and there was a horse in it.

Qin Zhao and others kept walking inside and found that the "Juyi Hall" was already brightly lit and the bandits had already drunk it.

There is a flagpole outside Juyi Hall. At this time, a large flag was hung on the flagpole, and a black tiger was painted in the middle of a piece of red cloth, which was the banner of "a tiger". Under the flagpole, a large basin of firewood was burning, illuminating the black tiger flag flying in the dark night.

Next to the firewood was two more pots of charcoal fire, and two young robbers flipped a suckling pig and a sheep over the fire.

There were two robbers standing at the door, welcoming the guests to inform the news, each standing there with a pig's trotter. The other robbers in the hall were drinking in vain.

Today is a happy event for the robbers. Juyi Hall is lit with hundreds of candles, all placed on four candle holders in four directions, making the small hall and room brightly lit. The "Juyi Hall" is actually a wooden house built in a hurry, half built in a cave, and the other half is built outside with wooden boards, the size is only about seventy square meters. At this time, there is no room in the entire hall that is not bright.

Some robbers gathered in groups next to a crooked wooden table, using a knife to cut the pigs and lambs on the table. The roasted pigs and lambs were just roasted by two chefs outside the door. The robbers who split the meat cut the oil in one hand, and every time they cut a piece of meat, they would throw the piece of meat into the arms of the accomplices next to them, and even if they were splitting the meat.

A group of robbers distributed the wine on the other side. I don’t know where the wine was bought or snatched, and there was no name for a restaurant on it, just a large sauce-colored jar. A dozen robbers who had eaten the meat were chewing on the pork and mutton in their hands, while trying hard to get the wine bowl in their hands to the wine digger.

The wine divider kept pouring wine into the bowls of his accomplices with the wine jar. Every time he poured half a bowl of wine, he shouted loudly, which was considered as a person divided. Then he asked the others to bring the wine bowls up, and the wine bowls of a bunch of people were squeezed into a ball.

There was also a group of robbers gambled money there. More than twenty people grabbed the silver in their hands and bet on a table. A group of people shouted "big", and another group of people shouted "little", making a mountain sound. Every time a slut, a bunch of people laughed ecstatically, and another group of people sighed.

A thief stole the money he lost back, and two of the three thieves who were in the bank immediately rushed forward and fought with the thief who refused to admit his account.

The rest continue to bet.

It was really a bunch of traitors. Qin Zhao looked over and felt that these people had no discipline or rules.

There were five or six loads in the middle of the hall, each of which was wrapped in red cloth. The bandits such as Caiyunfeng were lawless, and the surrounding villages were afraid of them. Other villages were all prepared for the earth walls. The bandits of Caiyunfeng could not easily slaughter the village, so they blackmailed some silver every year. The villagers in these villages could not unite to fight the enemy, but instead wanted to give gifts to Caiyunfeng.

The robber leader "a tiger" held a wine glass in his left hand and was holding a chopstick in his right hand to pick up the red cloth for those gifts. He was looking at what gifts were under the red cloth.

This tiger is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a medium figure in Chinese characters, but he has a tiger's back and a bear waist. There is a scar on his right eye, which makes his right eye blind. However, in fact, there is a skin trauma in his right eye, which does not affect his vision.

At this time, he was in a happy mood and was full of flushing face.

Next to him was a woman with a face full of lead powder, looking about thirty years old. The woman looked just like a normal person, but with thick rouge on her face, and was holding a tiger's arm to invite her to favor.

"Master, that's the silk sent by Xujia Village!"

"I like this jade bracelet given by Liujia Village. Master, please give it to me!"

"Master, you see that there are more gifts this year than last year. Master, you are so amazing!"

"Master, don't kidnap or blackmail in the future. Then call the donations from each village tax money and collect taxes from them every year!"

One tiger looked at the filial piety sent by various villages one by one, and burst into laughter from time to time.

Then he raised his head and saw Qin Zhao and Qin Youli carrying the box.

"Isn't this the account in Qinjia Village? Are you here too?"

Qin Youli clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Master Hu, I'm here to celebrate your birthday." After a pause, Qin Youli gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hu, I'll tell the truth, the donation you have set for our village this year is really too heavy. Even if the people in our village sell land and houses, no one can buy them now. I really can't make up so much money!"

As he spoke, Qin Youli's eyes turned red and two lines of turbid tears flowed out.
