The county magistrate changed his career to selling private vegetables and sold them out

On Hongmao Mountain, more than 500 miles away from Shangjing, the village leader Xu Meng looked at the food served by his brothers with some worry, scratching his head.

After a long while, he glared at his brother Xu Da and said angrily: "If you don't even eat big fish or meat, does that kid still want to eat dragon meat?"

Xu Da said awkwardly: "The kid didn't say he wanted to eat dragon meat, he just said he wanted to eat the fungi on our mountain. Brother, look at this...?"

Xu Meng's eyes widened, "What? Eating fungi? I'm afraid there's something wrong with your brain! You won't eat these good pheasants and wild boars, and you won't eat fish either, so you want to eat those things?"

A big boy, if he hadn't seen how rich he was in gold and silver, he might have been able to get a huge ransom, but he wouldn't have been willing to serve him like a rich man!
Xu Da curled his lips and said: "Brother, you didn't see that the kid just took a bite of the roast chicken and vomited it all! He also said that it was something even pigs wouldn't eat, and that we were wasting food!"

"Bah!" Xu Meng spat on the ground and said angrily: "I can't bear to eat that little bastard, but he despises it! Leave him alone, he won't die of hunger in two or three days!"

Xu Da shook his head fiercely, "No way, brother, this is a fat sheep. We have finally made up our minds to stop after finishing this job. We can't let anything go wrong!"

Xu Meng's face darkened and he remained silent.

Ever since he took the people in the village to wander to Hongmao Mountain and became bandits, life has actually not been easy.

The group on the hill next door killed people two years ago and were wiped out by the government. They learned their lesson and have never dared to kill anyone in these years for fear of angering the government and being punished.

But the mountains are barren and the difference between the north and the south is huge. They have no way to take root here. When they can't solve the problem, they can only occasionally rob passing merchants to get some money to improve the lives of the villagers.

This time, it was God's foresight that allowed them to rob a six or seven-year-old baby.

It's no wonder that this baby's parents are so arrogant. Such a young child dares to travel to such a barren mountain and play with a few guards, letting the little fat sheep fall into the tiger's mouth.

Look at that kid's outfit, he can extort a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver at a minimum!

The boy who delivered the letter has been gone for three days, so there should be news soon!
Seeing that Xu Meng didn't speak for a long time, Xu Da persuaded him nicely: "Brother, I'd better take a few people to the mountain to pick mushrooms. It will be troublesome if we really starve the baby!"

Xu Meng weakly waved his hand to express his acquiescence.

Xu Da walked out of Xu Meng's room, walked to a stone house opposite the yard and stood outside. He turned his head to the boy who was leaning on the bed and said, "Boy, I will take someone to find fungi for you right now. You just stay here." Don’t make any more noise in the room!”

The boy on the bed rolled his eyes silently and ignored him.

As soon as Xu Da left, the boy jumped up from the bed, covered his crotch and said with a bitter face: "Li Li, I need to pee!"

Fu Li sighed silently and said: "I told you before, there is no flush toilet here, it will cause a lot of inconvenience, you must stay!"

Jiang Huai clamped his legs and muttered: "If I can make great achievements this time in Beijing, my mother and father will be able to let me go out with confidence in the future!"

No, they will only worry more!
Fu Li thought in his heart but did not dare to say anything. He jumped out of the window with Jiang Huai in his arms and ran to a place where no one was around.

Hongmao Mountain is not high, but it is full of pine trees, lush and leafy, and there are many branches of rivers and streams, making it difficult to find people hiding in it.Therefore, the government did not send troops to drive out all the bandits hiding in Hongmao Mountain.

Jiang Huai wanted to play in the water for a while, but saw someone coming from a distance. He jumped on Fu Li's back and returned to the stone house before he was discovered.

Eating fruits picked from the mountain, Jiang Huai's short legs swayed on the bed, and he said vaguely: "Where did Master Xilu go? Is he still on the mountain? Uncle Xi (fourth) and fifth uncle They should all be here, right? Will Lang (mother) scold them?"

The corners of Fu Li's mouth twitched and he said: "Young Master, you should worry about yourself first! If this matter reaches the ears of His Majesty and the two imperial grandsons, I estimate that Hongmao Mountain will be razed to the ground." Jiang Huai said. He paused and quickly swallowed the fruit, "How could it be? I just want my uncles to inform my father and great-grandfather to kidnap those evil bandits back. I didn't think of anything else!"

Fu Li chuckled in his heart.

I'm afraid the young master doesn't know the style of the Fu family in Qingcheng Mountain yet. Just wait, he will soon know the thunderous wrath of the family master!

Qingcheng Mountain.

In the meeting hall, Fu Xiaolou's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and his usual cheerfulness was completely gone. What appeared on his face was the cold and evil aura that a true master of martial arts should have.

"All the children of the Fu family listen to the order: the people from Qingfeng Hall will follow me to rescue Huai'er, and the rest will divide into three groups to attack Hongmao Mountain! No one who robbed Huai'er will be left behind!"

"Yes, master!"

At the same time, he went to the Imperial Palace in Beijing.

The prince stopped the prince and Jiang Shan who were rushing out desperately, frowned and said: "You woman, why are you making trouble! Mr. Xiao Fu has already taken my tiger talisman to the military camp to borrow troops, and the Yulin Guards are almost there now. Now that we are out of the city, please stop causing trouble!"

Jiang Shan was still worried and stared at the prince closely and asked: "Your Highness, Huai'er will be fine, right?"

The prince pinched his eyebrows with a headache and said: "Three to five hundred mountain people are just making trouble. How can they be compared with my army in Daqing? What's more, General Fu personally leads the army, don't worry!"

Jiang Shan finally composed himself. After bidding farewell to the prince and his wife, he hurried back to his residence to wait for the news.

In the golden autumn of October, the red-haired mountains in the early morning were covered with a hazy veil by mist, and the distant mountains and near waters were all pure white.

The stockade was built on a slightly higher flat land at the foot of the mountain.

What woke Xu Meng was not the clear chirping of birds on Hongmao Mountain, but the heavy and deep sound of horse hooves.

He was confused for a while, and before he could react, Xu Dal rushed in running and jumping.

"Oh no, big brother! The government has sent troops to encircle Hongmao Mountain!"

Xu Meng sat up from the bed with a start, as if he had been poured cold water on his head, and grabbed Xu Da, "What did you say? Why did the government send troops to encircle Hongmao Mountain? How many people came?"

Xu Da held out two fingers with a sad face, and he didn't know whether it was tears or sweat on his face.

"Two hundred? It's okay, okay, let's quickly notify the brothers to evacuate in the morning fog!"

Xu Da closed his eyes, "It's not two hundred, it's two thousand!"

"Two...what? Two thousand?" Xu Mengnan turned pale, and his calves couldn't help but start to tremble.

There were only more than 300 people in the mountain, old and young, and they could barely cope with the government's 2000 soldiers, but [-] people came all of a sudden...!
