Chapter 964 Noisy Horse Thief

Thanks: 'Ziwei Knight' for the red tip!

 …

The Zhixing Academy was burned, and it was also burned by Confucian scholars. The news spread throughout the city of Beiping within an hour, which surprised the common people who were eating melons.

"Are they crazy?"

An old man was chatting with his grandson at the door, and when he heard the Confucian scholars setting fire, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "That's the academy of the emperor's grandson and Xing Hebo, it takes a lot of courage to light the fire in front of them!"

The old man in the neighbor's house scratched his scalp and said, "Didn't there be a saying of approving dragon scales in the past? I think these scholars probably think so, but your Majesty is not the emperors of the former Song Dynasty who want to criticize dragon scales? That's right. court death."

"That's right! What's that called... Oh, it's Wei Zheng. Those scholars boasted about Wei Zheng's saying that there is nothing in heaven and earth on earth. Didn't the tombstone be smashed? It's fake! It's all fake!"

"Ahhh!"

At this time, the old man's grandson started babbling, touched his buttocks, and hurriedly said: "The child has peed, go home first."

"Then Wei Zheng! Hey!"

The old neighbor shook his head. When he entered the house, he saw two chickens fighting for food. He couldn't help shouting, "Who saw the chickens? Who laid eggs after being injured?"

In the days of the common people, whether it is setting fire to the academy, or Wei Zheng, who claims to have a good relationship with Li Shimin's monarch and his ministers, is not as good as a laying hen at home, let alone a grandson who pissed his pants.

Fang Xing is well aware of this principle, but the horse thieves naturally don't understand it.

In a mountain just south of Beiping City, a group of men were cooking in a valley.

The firewood in the mountains in early spring was damp, and it was hard to light it. The group of men were choked and shouted.

A bearded man sat upwind and quietly looked at the group of people. The group of people were dressed in rags and looked like fleeing households.

But the long knives on their waists and the unconcealable aggressiveness on their dirty faces have nothing to do with escapees.

The food was very simple, just porridge cooked with rice and dried bacon, and the twenty or so people were cursing.

"Brother Fang, I drink porridge every day, brothers can't take it anymore!"

"That's right, at least some dried vegetables! Those people are really stingy!"

"We are not allowed to go hunting, and we are not allowed to go out of the mountains. Do you want us to be savages?"

Fang Dahai, a bearded man, said coldly: "What's the rush! That's a fat sheep!"

"Right now, guards all over the country are being rectified. After the rectification is completed, the first thing to do is to encircle and suppress us."

Seeing the relaxed expressions on the faces of his subordinates, who obviously dismissed the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers, Fang Dahai didn't scold him, and continued: "Fang Xing's family has a lot of money, and you know about the glass?"

A tall, thin, fair man said, "Brother Fang, I know, it's worth the equivalent of silver, it's too expensive."

"Chen Xiaonu, you spend a lot of nonsense every day. I heard that there is no glass in the palace. How could the Fang family have it? Isn't he afraid of beheading?"

A black-faced man said with a smile.

"You think I'm lying?"

Fang Dahai stared at the black-faced man and asked, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"No! No, big brother Fang, I'll listen to you no matter how dare I do it."

"Then shut up!"

Fang Dahai sternly shouted, after frightening the gangsters, he stood up and said, "Fang Xing still has the First Fresh and the Four Seas Market in his hands, and the money that goes in and out every day will allow us to stop after we finish this transaction." .As long as you have money in your hand, what can’t you buy?!”

"Whoever doesn't want to go, stand up."

Fang Dahai asked, but no one answered, so he said with satisfaction: "We are grabbing food from the tiger's mouth this time. If we run too slowly, there will be guards all around the capital, and we will be the turtles in the urn!"

That Chen Xiaonu suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Did you hear that? Big brother Fang has considered everything thoroughly. If you continue to make trouble, everyone will break up!"

Lures from goods and goods, threats from officers and soldiers!

"If this deal hadn't been made, those people wouldn't have helped us find the way,

Let's be savages in this mountain! "

These words were the last nail in the coffin, and the morale of those gangsters rose.

"Grab it! Brother Fang, we all listen to you, just grab it and run away!"

"As long as we have money, even if those people repent, we can slowly get back from the mountains!"

"..."

Fang Dahai smiled and said, "Okay, since everyone is motivated, let's eat quickly!"

"The rice is mushy!"

"Pick the firewood!"

During the commotion, a man asked, "Brother Fang, when shall we do it?"

Fang Dahai said with his hands behind his back: "There has been a signal over there, let's..."

...

Yue Baoguo felt that he was unlucky to believe that a county king would take care of others.

Zhu Zhanyong was holding his corpse on the bed, rubbing his stomach and talking.

"What do you think those people think? They all feel that there are gods, and even going to temples and Taoist temples is too pious..."

Zhu Zhanyong was talking to himself endlessly, while Yue Baoguo was reading a book with a sullen face.

When Zhu Zhanyong said that his mouth was dry and he habitually ordered: "Pour me a glass of water." Then he remembered his mission.

Yue Baoguo had already fallen asleep leaning his head back on the chair, and seeing the frown on his face, it was probably because of the pain in his hands.

"sleep!"

Zhu Zhanyong, who was bored, also fell asleep, and fell asleep until dinner time. He went to help Yue Baoguo cook and came back, and asked him with some guilt if he wanted to feed.

"don't want."

Yue Baoguo held his breath, eating with one hand was also smooth.

After dinner, the two were about to go for a walk, but they saw Ma Su outside.

Ma Su turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "You have to be careful these few days. If there is any movement, you should gather immediately and bring back your knives and guns."

While Zhu Zhanyong was still in a daze, Yue Baoguo had already understood the meaning.

"Brother, are there thieves coming? Or do those Confucian scholars dare to come here and set fire?"

This is the front yard of the Fang family, and the students are arranged to live in guest rooms, except for Yue Baoguo and Zhu Zhanyong, there are at least four other rooms.

Ma Su nodded and said: "There may be thieves, if you hear noises at night, don't panic, all gather together."

All the students Ma Su went to notify, and then he went to report to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing was talking to Huang Zhong in the study, Ma Su came in and said, "Teacher, you have already been notified."

"You go back to rest too, and stay alert these few nights."

After Ma Su left, Huang Zhong said disapprovingly: "Uncle, why don't you quietly send some soldiers in?"

Fang Xing shook his head: "Who knows if anyone is watching here, the deployment of troops is just to scare the snake, if those horse thieves lurk, we will be passive."

"The servants will be on duty at night, so don't be nervous, let's see if those horse thieves dare to come!"

Huang Zhong didn't understand Fang Xing's self-confidence. He was worried that if there were a large number of horse thieves, even if they could be blocked, the casualties would not be small.

Walking out of the study, Huang Zhong turned around and looked at the tallest tree in the Fang family, feeling that someone was watching him.

Night came so silently...
