Astral Apostle Chapter 158: People in trouble

Xiang Tianjie’s face turned solemn, and he solemnly clasped his fists and said, “It turned out that it was Brother Chen who was in front of you. You beat Wujiazhuang to share the wealth among the people. I have also heard about it recently, and I admire it very much. I didn’t expect to see my brother here. , the appearance is dignified, and it is really extraordinary.”

“It’s easy to talk about it.” Zhou Jing was also polite.

Although I have just debuted in Green Forest, I am only a small person compared to the other party, but the people in Green Forest will not be short of etiquette.

Furthermore, people with high skills have always been admired by Green Forest. For these Dazhai leaders, destroying Wujiazhuang was a trivial matter, but Zhou Jing’s deeds with one enemy against a hundred showed his amazing force.

This group of leaders of Tianwangzhai were so surprised because of this… They had been dormant in this state capital for many days, and they accidentally discovered that such fierce people had appeared in the southern green forest. They couldn’t help being very interested. This man went up the mountain to join the team.

Xiang Tianjie also has the intention of making friends with Zhou Jing, but he is not familiar with it at the moment, so he will not mention the invitation to join for the time being.

Because there was some noise, the group didn’t want to alarm the officials, so they quickly changed places and talked again.

……

When everyone came to a secluded place, Xiang Tianjie and other talents all took off their human skin masks and came up to sign up and get to know Zhou Jing.

These leaders of Tianwangzhai are all highly skilled in martial arts and are well-known in the northern green forest, but they only know Zhou Jing’s name, but they don’t dare to ask for a big one. They all hold their fists and salute.

Xiang Tianjie then talked about the purpose of their group and sighed:

“Brother Guo Haishen was imprisoned here because he offended the dignitaries. I have been hiding here for a long time, just looking for an opportunity to rescue me. Because I have a lot of connections, I dare not show my true colors.”

“Brother Guo and I have an old relationship, and I’m here for him.” Gao Yun agreed, and then he wondered: “But if you have important things, why did this brother Shi Qing want to make troubles and steal me?”

Hearing this, both groups turned their heads together and looked at Shi Qing.

Shi Qingqing’s face suddenly flushed, and he hesitated:

“I was looking for news on the street, and I stumbled upon this hero with a lot of baggage, so I kept an eye on it. Later, when I saw him shopping in front of the vendor and revealing his money, my hands itch, and I wondered if there was anything in this place. People recognize me and hide my face, they want to make a fortune, but I don’t think so…”

Hearing this, Xiang Tianjie was furious and scolded: “You thief, you almost broke my major event!”

Many leaders of Tianwangzhai also looked unhappy.

They didn’t know the cause and effect. They only came to save Shi Qing’s distress signal when they found Shi Qing’s distress signal. On the way, they probably guessed that Shi Qing had lost his hand, but they couldn’t help but get angry at this time.

“Brothers calm down, my younger brother knows it’s wrong.” Shi Qing was downcast.

Xiang Tianjie was helpless and turned to Gao Yun to apologize:

“Brother Gao, don’t be surprised, this brother Shi Qing hasn’t been in my cottage for a long time, but he doesn’t recognize your appearance. He was originally a street thief, and later learned from a river and lake snitch. He has learned the kung fu of flying over eaves and walls, and the skill of disguising one’s face with one hand. If I bump into an expert today, I can teach him a lesson.”

“I see… If it weren’t for Brother Shi Qing, I wouldn’t be able to see each other. Brother Xiang, don’t blame him.”

No matter what Gao Yun thought in his heart, he still gave him a step up.

In fact, in the Green Forest, thieves do not have a high status, and most people in the Green Forest do not like them very much. They are occasionally called “Qianzi”, “thieves” and “Bao Tan” on the road, with a certain contempt.

Zhou Jing watched Shi Qing being scolded, and his mind changed slightly.

Most of these people in the green forest are from poor backgrounds, and they are all rude and reckless. They may have some bad problems, such as alcoholism, greed, irritability, etc.

Even if they have important business, it is difficult to expect them to be completely on their own. Many are unstable factors.

At this time, Gao Yun asked:

“The leaders have been inquiring here for many days, but I don’t know how Brother Guo Haishen suffered?”

When the voice fell, many leaders of Tianwangzhai suddenly became angry.

Xiang Tianjie’s chest rose and fell, his tone was angry, and he said solemnly:

“Brother I don’t know, this Anlin mansion looks prosperous, but in fact, the government and businessmen colluded and looted the people’s wealth. Many big businessmen and the government were in business, often doing some shoddy business, not only the local people suffered, but also some passing traders. Being persecuted. Even if you report it to the government, it will be nothing. The upper and lower levels have already been dealt with by these big local businessmen, and there is no way to report.

In addition, local merchants stockpiled grain all year round, just to keep the price of grain high. If there is excess grain, they would rather sell to other state borders than to supply local… Obviously this is the land of abundance in the south, but ordinary people have to spend more A lot of money to make a living, even if there is some floating money, it is also earned by those big grain merchants. This gang of profiteers is full of oil, and they have money to expand their industries, and they are even more intertwined. “

“Really hateful!”

Fang Zhen was very angry when he heard this.

Gao Yun was also dissatisfied, frowning and said: “In the rich and prosperous land in the south, even if it is looted like this, the people can still maintain a living… If you go to the barren food production in the north, if you dare to do this, the local people will change! “

Xiang Tianjie sighed and continued:

“These are the families of wealthy and unkind businessmen, and they also fund gangs locally and do some dirty work for them. Although these gangs are also street scumbags, they have become a climate that is enough to bully the market. For example, if someone sues the government, these gangs will Trouble this person’s family as revenge.

Or the big family in the city took a fancy to a certain property and wanted to lower the price, but the owner of the property refused to let the gang harass and smash it until they surrendered… For example, Chengnan Lu, Chen, He, Huang After a few big families, they heard from the common people that they wanted to expand their houses in the early years, but their neighbors were reluctant. They used these methods to buy the surrounding land at low prices. “

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, “Then Guo Hai went to prison to provoke local businessmen?”

Xiang Tianjie nodded immediately and said solemnly:

“That’s right! Brother Guo passed by here, and happened to encounter gangs oppressing the people, so he offered to help. After asking the reason behind it, he single-handedly overturned several local gangs that were causing trouble, and ruined many transactions of local merchants. The Anlin Mansion all praised his righteous deeds.

But this was also hated by the big local businessmen. They wanted to kill the chickens and show the monkeys, so they bought a few people and set up a bureau to frame the Guo brothers. These people caused Brother Guo to drink a lot one day, and deliberately said some local injustices to provoke Brother Guo, asking Brother Guo to seek justice from the government, and then they said that the local prefect would not take care of them, and they were weird and tempted Brother Guo to talk.

Unfortunately, Brother Guo was not sober for a while after drinking, and the disaster came out of his mouth. He was so angry that he said, ‘If the local prefect does not care, he will ask the Lord Zhizhou to seek justice. If you don’t care about the state, you can find a provincial governor. If the governor doesn’t care, he will go to the capital to find the emperor and tell the emperor’s words. Unexpectedly, a large number of officials ambushed around early, and immediately took him and sent him to the government. The prefect quickly sentenced him to be arrogant, ignorant of saints, ignorant of honor and inferiority, and rebellious. He was beaten fifty in court. Cudgel, taken to the prison camp… Brother Guo was convicted this time because of his words. “

The crowd was furious.

“This **** prefect, and the big businessmen of the dog days, are the same raccoon dog!” Fang Zhen resented.

Gao Yun used a long stick and poked a hole in the ground. He also said angrily: “The government and businessmen collude and oppress the people, so **** it!”

“Should be killed.”

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes.

But there is one thing to say, aside from the aspect of being calculated, Guo Hai went deep into prison, and it was not completely wronged him.

In this feudal era, if you dare to speak rudely to the emperor, no one will listen.

The local government used this reason to punish those who spoke inappropriately, that is, “politically correct”, whoever dares to intercede will be put on the hat of “disrespectful saints”, and those who intercede will also be unlucky.

In today’s world, people can do what you can’t say, state officials can set fires, and people don’t talk about lighting lights. Complaining is a sin, and it affects the good career of others.

Most of the people in the green forest hold grudges against the imperial court, and they are used to scolding the government.

Zhou Jing crossed his arms and decisively opened his mouth:

“I can’t see such a filthy world! This Guo Haishen, I have also saved it. What are the plans of the leaders, but it doesn’t matter, I will work together to rescue this hero!”

Fang Zhen immediately echoed: “Not bad! What my brother said is also what I mean!”

Xiang Tianjie was overjoyed, and immediately bowed his hands: “With the help of three heroes, this trip is more certain!”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing remembered Li Chun and the others, blinked, and said:

“By the way, there are three Lulin brothers on my side. They also came to visit Guo Haishen. They probably won’t stand by and watch. It’s better to tell them about it first, get together, and then figure out how to save people.”

“Brother Chen is right!” Xiang Tianjie agreed.

……

Somewhere in a luxury restaurant in the city, there are five people in the private room who are changing cups, namely Li Chun, the Lu family siblings, and two unfamiliar faces.

These two people, one is the official middleman, sitting in the main seat, and the other is the leading middleman.

The cups and dishes on the table are in a mess, obviously they have almost eaten, and things are basically settled.

Li Chun stood up and bowed to the official in the chair: “In this way, there will be Mr. Zhang, and then I hope that the adults will prepare the goods.”

“Hehe, this is natural. Brother Li should also prepare money.”

The official also smiled brightly, as if happy to make a fortune.

Li Chun then said goodbye and took the Lu family brothers and sisters out of the restaurant.

Walking to the street, Lu Xinniang snorted coldly and couldn’t help but said: “The corruption of the government is so bad, there are people who dare to sell weapons in the warehouse in private, and they are not afraid of losing their heads!”

Li Chun shook his head helplessly and sighed:

“Master Zhang is not a high-ranking official, there must be someone behind him, but I don’t know if he is collecting money for his superiors, or making a situation for his political opponents, or if he has been ordered to take office in another state capital, and make some money before he leaves. After all The bandit chaos in the south is not as serious as the north, and the borders of Jingzhou are even more stable. These weapons are piled up and rusted in the warehouse, and they can’t produce cubs and make money… Alas, the officialdom is intriguing and annoying, but in the end, it is also cheap. I’ll wait.”

Lu Yunzhao was quite excited: “If you buy this batch of weapons, you will be able to train several elite teams.”

Hearing this, Li Chun also smiled, relieved the pressure, relaxed, and said with a smile:

“The biggest thing of this trip has been completed, and then I will go back to find Brother Chen Feng, go to the prison city camp to meet Guo Haishen, who is famous for the green forest, and then invite Brother Chen Feng to our cottage to rest and rest. This trip When you go out, you will be consummated, and the harvest will be very rich!”

Without delay, the three returned to the inn where they settled down.

Zhang San had been waiting at the door of the inn, and when he saw Li Chun and the three of them, he hurriedly greeted them and said:

“Three heroes, Brother Chen, please go to his room for a talk, and discuss important matters.”

“Oh?”

Li Chun was puzzled and didn’t think much about it, so he brought the Lu family brothers and sisters to the door of Zhou Jing’s room and knocked on the door.

“Brother Chen, here we are.”

With a shout, he pushed open the door and was about to walk in.

The next moment, however, Li Chun saw the scene in the room, stopped suddenly, and subconsciously settled in place.

The room is full of big men!

At first glance, there are more than ten people!

Except for Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen, the others are all unfamiliar faces, almost all of them are powerful and fierce!

Li Chun was stunned on the spot and said: “Brother Chen, this, these people are…”

Zhou Jing smiled heartily, greeted Li Chun and the three of them to enter the door, and then motioned Zhang San to close the door and stay outside before he said:

“Let me introduce, these three are the leaders of Hongyun Mountain, Qingfan Li Chun, Shenmao Lu Yunzhao, and embroidered knife Lu Xinniang… And these are the leaders of the Northern Green Forest Tianwang Village…”

This time, Tianwangzhai sent people to rescue Guo Haishen, and a total of eight leaders came, among them, Xiang Tianjie, the fourth-headed “Fanjiang Great Sage”, reported themselves to their families.

Hearing the other party’s background, Li Chun was shocked, and hurriedly brought the Lu family brothers and sisters to the ceremony, but he was extremely puzzled.

How could this group of northern green forest masters quietly run to this southern boundary?

Also, Brother Chen Feng just went out for a walk, how did they bring back so many tyrants?

Xiang Tianjie briefly explained the encounter, then talked about Guo Haishen’s encounter, and then went straight to the point:

“I am waiting for this trip to rescue Brother Guo Haishen. Brother Chen Feng said that the three of you are also here for him. I am waiting to invite the three of you to work together. I don’t know what to do?”

Hearing this, Li Chun pondered for a while and nodded:

“I also admire Brother Guo’s conduct, and I can’t stand idly by this time!”

These grand events, they should be involved in their own efforts, not only to rescue the heroes, but also to increase the reputation of the green forest, so that Hongyun Mountain will be in the limelight with Tianwangzhai.

If it spreads out, Hongyun Mountain is unwilling to help Tianwangzhai to rescue Guo Haishen, the “iron-armed blue dragon”, then it will be a great disgrace.

“Okay! Brother Chen is right, you really are loyal heroes!”

Xiang Tianjie was overjoyed.

Hearing this, Li Chun felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

He could see that Xiang Tianjie also meant to befriend Zhou Jing.

The Tianwangzhai family has a great business and is a well-known Dazhai in the world, and the small family in Hongyun Mountain cannot be compared with the other party at all. If the other party also recruits Zhou Jing, then maybe they can really abduct people…

But this is not the time to talk about it, business matters.

Everyone agreed on the same goal, and all the people who came to rescue Guo Haishen gathered here.

“Urgent Yama” Chen Feng, “Fan Jiang Dasheng” Xiang Tianjie, “Broken Army Gun” Gao Yun, “Qing Fan” Li Chun, “Sacred Mace” Lu Yunzhao, “Fan Shan Tai Sui” Fang Zhen, “Embroidered Knife” “Lu Xinniang, “Thousand Faced Swallow” Shi Qing…

The eight leaders of Tianwangzhai, the three leaders of Hongyun Mountain, plus Zhou Jing, Fang Zhen, and Gao Yun… There are fourteen of them.

Everyone discussed for a while and reached a consensus. They planned to send a representative to the prison camp together. We will talk to Guo Haishen first.

Even if you want to save people, you have to let the rescued people know that there is a coordination between the inside and the outside.

Soon, everyone decided that four people would go to the prison camp to meet people. They were Xiang Tianjie, Li Chun, Zhou Jing, and Gao Yun.

……

On the other side, a neatly dressed old man came to the prison camp and visited the camp.

This old man with white hair and beard, smiling, looks like the housekeeper of a big family.

The local jailer and the clerk seemed to know the old man and treated him politely, allowing him to enter.

Soon, the old man saw Guanying and smiled and handed over:

“Lord Guan, stay safe?”

“Yo, Butler He! Haha, I haven’t seen you for a while.”

Gu Ying’s eyes lit up, and he hurried forward to introduce him to his seat.

The two casually chatted some gossip, and this was what Butler He said.

I saw Steward He tentatively ask: “Master Guanying, I don’t know that Guo, how is it now?”

Managed the camp and stroked the beard, and said:

“These days, I’ve been keeping people watching him. He’s fairly quiet, but there’s no reason to trouble him.”

Hearing this, Butler He took out two ingots of silver, handed them to Guanying, and whispered:

“This person ruined my master’s good deeds~IndoMTL.com~ My master’s meaning is that I hope he gets some ‘care’ in prison, people don’t want to kill him, but let those unscrupulous people understand and make a mess What happened, look at this…”

Management received the money, the smile on his face was even bigger, he laughed, and said proudly:

“Go back and let Master He relax, he’s just a wounded man, what kind of iron-armed dragon and dog. When he comes to my place, even if he is iron, I can rub him into iron mud. !”

Hearing this, Butler He asked, “I don’t know what Master Guanying plans to do?”

Guan Ying waved his hand and said casually:

“The heroes I’ve dealt with, there are no three hundred or two hundred. They have all turned into a puddle of mud, and they have long been familiar with the road. Isn’t that guy named Guo highly skilled? Rao is how pretentious he used to be, and he has to become a dog-like thing, I let him eat shit, he has to eat shit! If I want to pee in his mouth, he has to open his mouth to me!”

“Fine, just do it! Then I’ll go back and wait for the good news!”

Butler He is beaming with joy.
