    In winter, Wanmu is depressed, and it is not only Wanmu who is depressed.

    As soon as you enter the territory of Bazhou, you will see a large area of ??wilderness, especially desolate in the boundless snow.  The dead branches trembled in the wind, making a whimpering sound.

    Yang Ling is still an imperial envoy, but it is different from an imperial envoy. Now it is just to seize a corrupt official by order, so it is not a big party. Yang Ling's guard of honor mainly comes from the yamen of the Ministry of punishment, and the two flag officers are also appointed by the Ministry of punishment.  The family of the Duke's Mansion will only have twenty people, led by Liu Dabangchui, who will be by his side.

    Except for the family generals brought out from the Duke's Mansion, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment.  According to Liu Jin's octopus character, now that he has the power to intervene, of course he will not let this opportunity pass.

    Although he didn't think about getting any benefit from the money confiscated to build the Princess Baiyi Nunnery, he still sent Liang Hong, a eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, as the admiral of Jinwu Youwei, and asked him to be the deputy imperial envoy to cooperate with Yang Ling in handling the case.

    When Bazhou was in the Song Dynasty, as the border area of ??the Liao and Song Dynasties, it took nearly 50 years to build a city with military defense as its main function.  In the 120 years since the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance in 1004, the Song Dynasty designated this area as a market for the Liao Dynasty, and conducted market trade with the Liao Dynasty. The Central Plains and Jiangnan regions exported agricultural products, handicraft products, and overseas fragrant medicines to the north.  From then on, the Liao Dynasty imported livestock, leather goods, medicinal materials, pearls and jade to the Central Plains, and the Song Dynasty collected a lot of business taxes from them.

    Logically speaking, such a place should have been very prosperous, but in the past hundred years, a large area of ??grain fields in Bazhou has been surrounded by the royal family and the government as Huangzhuang and Guanzhuang, and the land has been annexed to the point where it cannot be added.  Since the eleventh year of Yongle, in order to strengthen the cavalry force against the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, after the horse administration was implemented here, it was stipulated that one horse should be raised under 15 ding, and two horses should be raised above 15 ding.  The people, the life of the people in Bazhou is even more poor.

    As soon as he entered the territory of Bazhou, Yang Ling got out of the sedan chair and changed to a fine horse.  Occasionally, a few dilapidated small villages appeared on the vast expanse of snow, and the dilapidated houses in the small villages had their doors and windows tightly closed to keep out the severe cold.  Occasionally there are only one or two passers-by, wearing bloated and tattered black padded jackets, watching this team of brightly armored teams pass by the road with their hands in their sleeves, their eyes are as dull as clay sculptures, and only occasionally they can be seen moving, raising their sleeves and moving quickly.  The snot that flowed to the mouth was wiped away.

    Here is the hometown of Hong Niangzi!  Is it the hometown of Cui Yinger, who can't read big characters, but loves the spirit of heaven and earth, and is as lovely as a piece of uncarved jade?  She is only younger than Cheng Qiyun, and she has been among bandits since she was a child, and she is used to blood and ugliness, but her heart and temper are still straightforward and simple, like a clear spring rippling out of a mountain stream  .

    Is this the land that gave birth to her?  Her team of horse thieves is all over this land, but why can't I see a single mountain?  When Wanmu recovers, this large piece of empty land should be fertile land or grassland, right?

    The green grass is higher than the belly of the horse, and an unrestrained horse is carrying an unrestrained person galloping on this grassland.  Horses are like dragons, people are like fire, and the dancing red robes are like dancing flames. The person on the horse is her, the red lady.

    ?The unconstrained small waist, with the bright Zhan Lu Wu hook, the bunched black hair, the bright eyes, the black eyebrows like distant mountains

    Such a woman full of wildness and self may only be cultivated by such a wild landscape.  Just like Lian'er, Lian'er is knowledgeable and literate, but why is her temperament not like this?  Perhaps it is precisely because they came from similar places that they have similar auras, courage and courage that ordinary women in Ming Dynasty do not possess.

    Thinking about it leisurely, a tail of snowflakes fell leisurely and landed on his face, and there was a sweet feeling in the coolness.  It's going to snow again.  Looking from a distance, a black spot came into view, Bazhou City has arrived

    *****************************************************  *****************************************

    Zhang Zhongfu, the eunuch guarding Bazhou.

    His mansion stretches from West Street to the South River Bank, covering an area of ??100 mu, with more than 500 houses.  The houses in the mansion are well-defined and well-proportioned, with towering pavilions and extraordinary bearing.  Entering the main gate and the middle gate, you will face the living room with stone foundation and wooden pillars, with square flower windows, partition doors, and large wood carvings of flowers and birds between the inner and outer squares, which looks antique.

    If Yang Ling saw this house, he wouldn't be surprised by the large area occupied by the princess's nunnery. Although the wealth of the Northland rich man may not be comparable to that of the rich gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the size of the house is really exquisite and elegant.  The gardens are unmatched.

    At this moment, there were two groups of men and horses standing in the courtyard, one group of officers and soldiers with distinctive armor, armed with knives and arrows, full of murderous aura, while the other side had fewer people and wore ordinary clothes.?It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t know.  But who is it that calls me a bastard and fears that I am a heavenly killer?  Is it the poor people?  no!  It's those corrupt officials who have ghosts in their hearts!

    The common people are keen to make a rumor, and they are keen to spread this rumor, not because they are afraid of me, Yang.  I wish I could be such a big scourge, to scourge those who entrap the common people more.  The new year is coming soon, and every household has a door god, and the door god is to keep out the kid, but can the door god really stop the kid?

    One of the four thieves in Bazhou has gone, and there are three remaining thieves!  Let me tell you who they are, now that I, the evil god Tai Sui Tian Slayer, is here, if possible, I will get rid of these demons and goblins for the common people!  "

    Hei Yaozi gritted his teeth, drank a glass of wine quickly, and said, "Okay! Since my lord wants to hear it, I'll tell you. Do you think Bazhou bandits are the biggest scourge for Bazhou? Wrong  , there are not many mountainous areas in Bazhou. Although the Bazhou bandit activities are located in Bazhou, the cottages are stationed outside, and most of the bandits have their own secluded land, and they always gather people to go down the mountain to plunder when they can't get enough.  .

    And what about the government?  The guarding eunuchs, Bazhou government, and the guards' army joined hands to harm the people, enclose land, impose fines on horses, and blackmail big households. They did everything!  The real scourge of Bazhou the first of the four thieves is the official thief!  "

    Yang Ling's cheeks twitched. Hei Yaozi was originally a bandit. His words cannot be trusted, but it is worth investigating. If the situation is true, let those who think they have become toothless tigers have a taste of their power and punish them.  Corrupt officials, saving the people, and just took the opportunity to stay in Bazhou for a few more days, killing two birds with one stone.

    He said indifferently: "Go on, what is the second thief?"

    Black Kite said: "The second thief is the god thief! Because of the poverty here, Buddhism and Taoism are very popular, but these monks and Taoists are not serious monks at all. They not only cheat money, but also cheat sex.  I like to make friends with those dignitaries and dignitaries, and I don't know how many fools and fools have been deceived!"

    He said with a wry smile and said: "It is said that bystanders are the clearest. We mountain thieves are well aware of the people being deceived, but when it is our turn, we are not the same as being fooled by Liu Laodao. Believe Yang Hu  What kind of villain is Ziwei Xing who descended to earth? Hey! He, Ziwei Xing, has repeatedly lost to you, the Heavenly Killing Star, which is considered retribution!"

    "Using Buddhism to make money? Could it be related to Maitreya? They are best at using preaching to make money and attract foolish people."

    Yang Ling was secretly alert, and asked, "Where's the third thief?"

    Black kite said: "The third thief is a thieves!"

    Yang Ling was surprised: "Thieves? Isn't it the same as you people who gather people to go up the mountain and make a living by plundering?"

    Hei Yaozi shook his head and said: "It's different. We are bandits, we are dignified and have a mountain gate, and we have our own banners when we go down the mountain to plunder. But the bandits are different. The people in Bazhou raise horses, and everyone is martial. These bandits are usually ordinary.  common people.

    When they are thieves, they cover their faces with scarves. They come and go like the wind, and they leave after the robbery. They are thieves when they mount their horses, and they are civilians when they dismount. It is hard to guard against and difficult to hunt down.  In the past, when they committed crimes, most of the cases were blamed on us bandits. Now that the Bazhou bandits have been completely wiped out, they are still active, and it is only when they are discovered that they have their own way and are different from bandits."

    "So that's the case! No wonder Ying'er said in grief and indignation that the people of Bazhou are like hell on earth. The officials are thieves, the gods are thieves, and the people are thieves. It's not a hell on earth!"

    Yang Ling let out a breath slowly, and said softly: "In a while, I'll ask someone to accompany you back, and bring your mother back from the Dragon King Temple, and settle down. Don't worry, aren't you the four thieves?  One of the four thieves has gone, now I will come to him to eliminate the three evils!"

    Yang Ling suddenly remembered the horoscope Zhang Tianshi had arranged for him, saying that he would kill and hunt with him all his life, and take away his life and salary.  Have to copy a hand of blood back?

    He shook his head, with a strange look on his face, and said something that the black kite couldn't understand at all: "It's Chinese New Year, it's really Chinese New Year! As days go by, I live longer!"
