    ?

    In an exquisite small room on the second floor of Xunxian Building.  A rough voice came out, "Good wine, pour the wine!"

    A 28-year-old woman with a double-ringed bun and a bright red dress, with a round face and full lips, with a little baby fat, looks cute and smart. She hurriedly picked up a small jug on the table, poured wine into a small  Fill up the small Geyao ice shard wine cup.

    A pair of big hands with thick bones picked up the wine glass, opened his mouth and drank down the wine.  This is a young and handsome face. The slightly dark face has the unique pride and arrogance of young people. With slender eyebrows, pointed nose, and thin lips, it looks like a lively character.  A black satin jacket of good material and a white inner lining were all draped over her body in a rough way, her chest was open, revealing her shiny black solid chest.

    The old bustard opened the door and came in, glanced at the young man who was drinking with his neck up, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Jiu is in a good mood today."

    The man put down his wine glass and looked at the old bustard with a half-smile: "I'm in a good mood, but Master Jiu is not here for a few days, you've never treated Xiaohong too badly!"

    A hint of panic flashed across the old bustard's face, but soon he smiled again: "No, no, Jiuye's woman, I don't dare to take it easy even if I have the guts of a leopard, Jiuye, you have to do things yourself on weekdays.  , Xiaohong is here to serve you at any time, Master Jiu, you can come whenever you want."

    The young man went to his pocket and took out a handful of broken silver, "Your reward!" The old bustard quickly reached out to take it, "Thank you Jiuye for the reward."

    "It's none of your business, go out."

    "Yes, Master Ninth." The old bustard winked at Xiaohong, and stepped back out the door.

    "Close the door tightly, and don't let anyone come in unless you tell me!" Master Jiu said to the door.

    "Yes, Master Jiu." The old bustard's voice came from outside the door.

    The young man signaled Xiaohong to pour another glass of wine, and he raised the glass and drank it in one gulp.  Only then did he lower his voice and say, "Xiaohong, what's up?"

    Xiaohong also lowered her voice and said: "I'm afraid the dog officer already knows the purpose of the big master, and he has joined forces with the defense mansion. He heard that there will be some kind of martial arts conference, and he will find some martial arts people to protect him and deal with the big master. Please accept it."  Few masters."

    "Martial arts conference? Then do you know who they have invited?"

    "Well, it seems to be called the Slaying the Dragon and Killing the Tiger Association. I don't know the details. I just heard that many famous experts in black and white are coming.  The swordsman has arrived today."

    "Oh?" The young man's face was a little shocked. These two people must be very famous, "I invited them out."

    "You continue to pay attention to the movement here, I will go back and report to the master first."

    Xiaohong nodded.  The two continued to chat for an hour, and the young man got up and said goodbye.

    At this time, the big boss officials and Talasus who stayed in the Xunxian Tower also fell asleep with their arms around each other.  No one was walking on the streets outside except the night watchmen.  As soon as the young man came out, he hid in the shadows by the roadside and walked forward cautiously.

    This is a bluestone road leading from north to south, located in a bustling riverside town.

    There is a river wharf near the river in the town. Ships traveling from south to north, carrying goods and giving people away, all berth here, and then depart from the town to other places.  Therefore, this place has become the most prosperous town within a hundred miles.  Therefore, the county government office is located here in the county composed of five surrounding towns.

    The bluestone road that the young man walked is the main road in the town, directly connected to the pier.  The veterans and sailors on the ship always need a meal, a place to stay, or some other needs when they leave the dock. These needs have ignited the economy of the entire street.  Therefore, this street is also the busiest street in the town.

    The organizational system of the government office always faces south and faces north, and at the same time, there must be a certain onlooker effect when trying cases, which can attract the attention of the people. Therefore, one end of this road is the wharf, and the other end is the county magistrate's office.  As usual, the county magistrate's government office has a front hall and a back residence, that is, the front hall is used to hear cases, and the rear is the residence of the county magistrate's family.  The extremely important county magistrates in this dynasty, as the local principal¡¯s agent, have the possibility of going out and entering the prime minister in the future, so they are all selected by the Jinshi and ranks from the Ministry of Officials, and then take office.  The current county magistrate of Jiangjin County is no exception.

    The county magistrate's surname is Zhang, originally from the north, but he has always heard that the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful, and the women are beautiful. The predecessors once praised the benefits of the south of the Yangtze River as "everyone says that the south of the Yangtze River is good, and the tourists only like the old people in the south of the Yangtze River.  In the sky, draw a boat and listen to the rain. The people around you are like the moon, and the bright wrists are covered with frost and snow. If you are not old, you will return to your hometown, and you will have to break your heart." Therefore, when he learned that he was about to be selected, he asked the officials  The fellow countrymen put themselves in the southern counties.

    ?I don't think his fellow countryman is not very powerful in the official department, JiangnanThere is already a candidate in a wealthy place, so we have to put him in this land of Jingchu, Bashu, which is close to the south after all.

    Although County Magistrate Zhang did not get what he wanted, he finally left the dry scene of the loess in the north, and came to the county seat where the Chutian is flat and the river flows, but it has a different feeling.

    ?In ancient times, officials often stayed in one place for three to five years, and the ancients married early, so it was common for relatives to take office.  County magistrate Zhang had also been married in his hometown. He was admitted as a Jinshi and granted an official position, so he went home and picked up his wife and went to the office with him.

    Less than a year after Zhang Zhang took office, he encountered a difficult case.  A young man named Tan Taiyu came to report for the first time that bandits had occupied the cottage for rebellion.  This is an important matter, if you don't handle it well, not only will you lose your future, but you may even lose your head.  He hurried to play the imperial court.  The imperial court ordered him to cooperate with the local Jiang garrison to hunt down the thieves.

    This guard, surnamed Zhou, was the same age as him, and was transferred here a year earlier than him. He was also a shrewd and capable person.  Immediately mobilized soldiers and horses, led by Tantaiyu to suppress the bandits, within a month he was done.

    When it was played to the imperial court, the emperor saw that it was not a big banditry problem, so he only encouraged him a little, and rewarded him with some bonuses and silver taels.

    Eighteen years have passed since this incident, and County Magistrate Zhang did not go to the scene of the suppression of the bandits in person. He just heard Zhou Shoubei talk about the situation at that time. The bandits occupied a mountain city, and there were many kind-hearted mountain people in the city.  After the attack at that time, the number of officers and soldiers was small, and they were afraid of changes, so they slaughtered them regardless of good or bad, and then burned the entire mountain city.  Zhou Shoubei couldn't help but sigh and regret when talking about it, but the situation at the time was like this, and there was really nothing he could do.

    The Tantaiyu who came to sue for the first time was originally a son of a rich family in Suzhou area. He was going on a grand tour, but somehow he was taken captive to the mountain and got married with the daughter of the bandit leader.  .  The daughter of the bandit leader also jumped off the cliff after the mountain city was breached because of his first complaint. It is said that the woman was still pregnant with his child at the time.  After the woman jumped off the cliff, the officers and soldiers also went to the bottom of the cliff to search, but they didn't even find the body. Although no body was found, everyone thought she was probably dead after jumping from such a high cliff.

    The old events of eighteen years ago would have been weathered and gone with the wind and dust of the years.  However, a recent incident reminded County Magistrate Zhang and Zhou Shoubei of this incident, and they were in constant panic.

    This incident is the news about the "Red Beard Bandit".  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
