    In February of the seventh year of Zhengshuo, in the cold winter, another heavy snow covered the northern land of the empire. But in the southeast of Yulin Prefecture, one of the northern prefectures, a place that was just a small black spot on the map of the state capital, but  In this year and this month, it was recorded in history books, and this small place was Yao Town, Ping County.  On a cold day, the cold wind swept the snowflakes on the ground like a knife, making people tighten their leather jackets tightly. As the cold wind passed by, there were few people on the streets of Yao Town.  There was no one around, and the whole town fell into a restless silence.  Kiln town is famous for its porcelain firing. On the mountains outside the town, kilns like swimming dragons are spread all over the ridge. However, this small place is the largest private kiln in the north. The porcelain produced is not only supplied to domestic  , and will be sold to the Xuanwu Empire. In previous years, even in the cold winter, the snow above Yao Town would be melted by the bustling crowd, but this year, Yao Town has encountered a rare cold winter.  There are many taverns in Yao Town. Because there are many kiln workers in Yao Town and there are many tourists coming and going, the tavern business has always been booming. Now, this tavern is probably the only one in Yao Town that is still lively.  It¡¯s a place, but most of the people here are passing the time drinking and venting their frustrations.  Creaking, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a cold wind blew in through the crack of the door, which diluted the pungent smell of alcohol in the tavern, but there was something missing in the smell of alcohol.  "Uncle Wu, this way!" There were seven or eight strong men crowded against a table in the tavern. Each of them had a big bucket in front of him, but there was no wine left in it.  How much, but the one who stood up and yelled was a young man. He was sixteen or seventeen years old. He might have been drunk, but his face was red.  "Everyone is here!" The crowd squeezed again to find a place for Wu Bo to sit in.  "Old Wu, how was the conversation?" A person in the crowd asked Wu Bo, who had just sat down, while drinking.  Wu Bo let out a long sigh and said, "What else can I do? Take the gold ticket of the Tai'an and pay 70%. When the goods are sold, I can use 30% of the cash to pay the rest!" "Damn, what does this have to do with credit?  The difference is that the idea is quite good. Now who doesn't know that the Tai'an is finished? The golden tickets of the Tai'an are no different from waste paper. The last 30% is not even enough to cover the capital of the first damn kiln. Let's  Dozens of brothers have been busy for half a year, and they have to pay for it afterwards. If they take the goods and run away, where the hell are they going to explain it? " "Yes!  , the Tai'an was not completely destroyed at that time. Some people did this, directly exchanged the gold tickets for the goods, and then pulled them out, but no one has come back yet. I guess these people also heard the news and took the  The money from selling the goods just went away. I heard that the merchants also suffered a lot of losses this time! " "It's nothing. In the past two months, there have been so many corpses floating on the Baiyang River alone.  There are still fewer people who are broke. If I can¡¯t sell my goods anymore and get the money back, my family will probably drink the northwest wind!¡±  Not over there. Shopkeeper Zhao of the grain store in our town is also out of business! He probably has a lot of cash at home, but the grain sellers are almost out of food!  Right? This old guy just raised the price two days ago. His price was six or seven times higher than in the lean years. But after making a lot of money, it¡¯s not like this old guy is planning to hoard it again and raise the price again!  What this old guy said is probably not false. It seems that the convoy he sent to buy food came back empty and didn't buy any food at all. It is estimated that there is only food for himself in his shop, otherwise with his condition  Virtue, I wish I could exchange all the money and pile it on the bed!¡±  Without Hong Shang, this year would be better, but the northwest wind would be the worst. It¡¯s all because of the damn ticket number! Those bastards from the Liu family, if he were still in Yao Town, would just strip him naked and throw them into the Baiyang River to feed the fish.  "Go!" "What's the use of talking about it now? Let's think about how to survive this day. If this continues, we will all starve to death!"  There are still some. This tavern won't be open for a few more days. Boss Bai, that naughty bitch, no matter how much water was mixed in this large glass of wine, the smell of birds has faded away. If she continues to stay in this town, it is estimated that the whole family will soon die.  I'm so dead! What about you? " "What else can I do? I can only learn to escape. I can't starve to death with a pile of inedible porcelain. I plan to go to Pingyu City, which has the largest granary in the north.  We won¡¯t be able to sell without food. After this period, when the situation gets better, if we come back, we will still starve to death with our skills! ?"That's all we can do. Let's make some friends then!" "Master Liu, we are in front of Yao Town. Are you sure you have taken care of the town's defense? We have only a few brothers, but we can't afford to lose anything!" In the wind and snow  Among them, dozens of wildebeests were walking on the road covered with snow. The leader of the group had leopard eyes, a big beard, and a fierce look on his face. The others also looked like gangsters.  Qi, although the equipment on his body is not sophisticated, it smells of toughness.  The young man called Mr. Liu is the young master of the Liu family, a large family in Yao Town. The Liu family runs three large kilns. In Yao Town, it is a wealthy family. However, all this has changed since the twelfth month of last year. This Taihe Hao, the Liu family  But there are stocks. When something went wrong on the Taihe and the bank was run, the old man of the Liu family did not just sit back and watch. Instead, he took out all the remaining money in the family in order to restore the decline. But obviously, in the face of this crazy run,  , all this is in vain.  Later, the old man of the Liu family showed his unreasonable faith and exchanged the porcelain produced by his family for the Taihe gold tickets of many regular customers. At this time, the manager of the branch of Taihe Bank took the only money and ran away. Before running away, he also  A fire burned down the accounts and destroyed all traces of the corpses. This can be regarded as a serious harm to the Liu family.  The old man of the Liu family suddenly fell ill and passed away within a month. After this incident, the eldest and second young masters of the Liu family did not know the news because they were away from home. But now standing here are the third young master of the Liu family, Liu Qinghe, and the second young master of the Liu family.  The family's wealth was gone, but they couldn't even pay the hundreds of kiln workers at home. It can be said that the situation was extremely difficult.  Especially the people in Yao Town knew that the Liu family was the major shareholder in Taihe, and they even broke into the Liu family and demanded compensation. It can be said that the house leaked and it rained all night. Overnight, the Liu family changed from a wealthy family to penniless.  The relatives of the Liu family were even worse. They were like birds and animals scattered. Before Liu Qinghe, the third young man of the Liu family who was surrounded by everyone in front of everyone, now became a loner who was shouted at by everyone.  The huge contrast made Liu Qinghe unable to accept this reality, and he was full of resentment towards those ungrateful guys, but Liu Qinghe knew that he could not do anything on his own, so Liu Qinghe thought of the bandits on Dulong Mountain.  The land in the north is not barren, but it is far less rich than that in the south of the Yangtze River, and disasters are very frequent, either droughts, locust plagues, or floods. However, since the empire has been established for thousands of years, the power of local wealthy landlords is deeply rooted and they wantonly occupy land. As a result, many people cannot survive.  Those who went down all started business without capital. Looking for a hilltop, they went down to the stockade and started to engage in banditry.  Usually, they collect tolls or kidnap the only sons of several small families in exchange for money. The third son of the Liu family was once kidnapped by the Dulong Mountain bandit group, but he was hired by the Liu family.  The mercenaries and hunters were almost wiped out, but today's Dulong Mountain bandit group has long been beyond recognition, with only a few of the minions left.  "Captain Wan, you can rest assured. The captain of the garrison in Yao Town is the young master of the Hao family in this town. He has the best relationship with me. This time, our Liu family is almost ruined. Although the Hao family is in slightly better condition, it is also  The loss is not small. I have made an agreement with him. I will give him 30% of our income in the town. Then I will show off and drive us away. He has lost nothing and got a lot of money for nothing. How can he?  There¡¯s a reason why you don¡¯t want to!¡± ¡°Thirty percent, Mr. Liu is really generous, but I heard that many families will lose their money if this ticket number fails. How much money can we get from this trip?  " "Commander Wan, you can rest assured. Our Liu family has previously exchanged hundreds of thousands of gold coins for gold tickets, and these families are all in the town. The money should be stored in their homes, and they have money in the ticket bank.  , but it¡¯s only a small part. If anyone doesn¡¯t have a treasury for emergencies, the harvest will definitely be huge. Moreover, the Yao Town is inland. As long as the garrison team doesn¡¯t come forward and only relies on the nursing homes of these people, they will definitely not be the opponent of Captain Wan!  "But Captain Wan, when you enter the town this time, you must not only act quickly, but also not leave anyone alive, otherwise the money will be very hot!" "Hey, I am not as good as Mr. Liu when it comes to conspiracy, but when it comes to murder,  Mr. Liu is not as good as us. Our brothers have not been fooling around for nothing these years! " "Brother, I thought you weren't coming. These are the Dulong Bandit Group you found?" Hao?  Sanshan's family fortune is not as great as that of the Liu family, and it is also one of the shareholders of Taihe. However, when the Liu family tried its best to save it, the Hao family did not take any action. Although the loss was not light, it was not as miserable as the Liu family, but it was inevitable that there would be no loss.  The feeling of sadness when the rabbit dies and the fox dies.  Now most of the Hao family have left Yao Town and went to the big city to survive this period. There are not many people left in the Hao family, and Hao Sanshan has to stay because he is the captain of the town's defense.  "There are few people, but they are all elites. Captain Wan is a ninth-level soul captain, and there are still five or six soul captains under his command. More than half are soul masters, and the rest have killed people and seen blood.  Yes, yesThose nursing homes are more than enough!  " "Qinghe, come here, I have something to tell you!  Hao Sanshan summoned Liu Qinghe. Liu Qinghe glanced at him and said to Wan Ren beside him: "Captain Wan, wait for me to get off!"  " "Sanshan, are you regretting it?  " "It's already this time, and I regret that I still rebel against Mao. I think you have too few people, so you can grab a few companies. If you start making trouble here, no matter how I turn a deaf ear, I can't stay away from it for a long time. Recently,  In the past few days, everyone in the town who had some family business was thinking about going to the nearby big city. If they didn't do it, there would be no store like this after passing this village!  "    "Then what do you mean!  " "If you don't do one thing and don't do the other thing, you'll end up in trouble!  " "You are talking lightly. I only have less than a hundred people here. Yao Town can be considered a big town. At most, I can just grab a few houses and leave, and stay in the house again and again?  Unless you, the garrison captain, don¡¯t want to be a guard captain anymore and come with us, I¡¯ll lose my home, but you won¡¯t!  " "Haha, I'm a good guard captain, but you know the Geng family members in the guard team, and there are others who are good to us. I revealed it to them, and they were all willing to take part.  Many of the people below are poor people with little money, haha. If I hadn't opened fire in the garrison, these people would probably have drunk the northwest wind. As long as I say hello, they will definitely be willing to do this!  " "When the time comes, let's do this so that we have enough people. As for the aftermath, I will handle it and ensure that no one will stand up for those dead people. Besides, at this time, everyone above is in a state of panic, so how can they bother to ask questions?  Such a small thing!  " Liu Qinghe looked at Hao Sanshan. He thought he was ruthless enough. He didn't expect that this brother, who he had a good relationship with, was more ruthless than him. But in this way, he liked that all the people in Yao Town could be killed. He  "Okay, it's okay for you, and it's even better for me. I'll go tell Commander Wan, let's put on a good show!"  "(To be continued.
