Chapter 205

Shutong touched the wrought iron rod in his hand, and asked happily: "This is not bad, where did it come from?"

Where did the second leader know where he came from, and quickly motioned for the little guy to answer.

The man replied honestly: "This is the loot brought back by the third headed family who led people down to rob the last time. Unfortunately, this iron rod is too heavy. It is difficult for ordinary people to hold it. No one wants to use it as a weapon, so I put it on This corner."

Shutong asked curiously: "This iron rod can weigh more than 100 catties, the original owner must be very strong! Only the idiot bag of the third master can beat others?"

The young man obviously didn't know the inside story, and was a little at a loss. The second leader quickly laughed and said, "Queen, you still don't know the rules of our cottage! This robbery is to send brothers to find out the situation in advance, and rarely confronts people head-on. .”

"Oh?" Shutong was surprised.

"Then how do you fight?"

The second master laughed and said: "No one in our green forest has any tricks! To deal with ordinary people, everyone swarms up. As long as you show your knives and guns, you can scare those people out of their mouths and hand over their belongings obediently. Make people stunned and still not be slaughtered!"

It turned out to be like this, Shutong shook his head, a little disdainful.

Looking at the iron rod in his hand, he asked: "It seems that the previous owner of this iron rod was fascinated. Such a hero must die in a muddle-headed way!"

Erdangjia said with a sneer: "That's not necessarily true! The person may still be alive! I'll send someone to check."

Shutong was surprised, "If he wasn't killed, could he still be released?"

Er Dangjia smiled and said, "Nobody took the ransom, so how could they release them? Every year we take a lot of hostages in the cottage, but most of them are locked up in the back village without anyone coming to ransom them."

Shutong was surprised, "Is it for nothing?"

The second master laughed and said, "How is it possible? It's enough if you don't starve to death. In such a big village, there are so many brothers who need to eat! These people stay to farm for us!"

Shutong became more and more curious, "Is there any place to farm in this mountain?"

The Erdang family smiled and said: "Let the little one accompany you to Houzhai for inspection, you will understand!"

While talking, someone came back and said, that person is really alive, he is working in Houzhai!

A hero who can dance more than 100 catties of iron rods is willing to stay and work in the cottage?Shutong became more and more curious.

Under the leadership of Erdangjia, they came to the peak behind Lianhua Mountain. Looking from a height, they found a huge valley among the continuous mountains.

Pointing to that place, the Erdang family proudly said: "Queen! Look, that is our back village! Surrounded by towering cliffs, monkeys can't climb it. There is only a long and narrow path leading to our back mountain. People locked there can't escape unless they have wings."

Standing on a high place and watching from a distance, Shutong found that the terrain was the same as Erdangjia said. The cliffs around the valley were nearly [-] meters vertical, and there was nowhere to stay.

The trail connecting Houzhai has complex terrain and is very difficult to walk.The second leader led the way out of breath.

After walking for about half an hour, they came to a natural stone gate, which was a gap between two cliffs that were very close together.

The Erdangjia panted heavily and introduced: "Majesty, here is a line of sky, and after a line of sky, you will arrive at Houzhai."

Shutong continued to walk in, and sure enough, he saw that the sky was squeezed by the cliff and there was only a thin gap left.

There are also two dark sentries near this line of sky, passing through the line of sky, there is another gate in front of it.

"Queen! We're here."

The style of this place is similar to that of Qianzhai. Shutong stopped to look around, and it turned out to be a very high and steep cliff.

The second master over there has already called the people inside to open the gate of the village.

"Queen! Please come inside!"

As he walked, he said: "This Houzhai was originally managed by the Sixth Master, but now the younger one has appointed his deputy to take over! Scar Eye! Why don't you come here to see the queen."

A vigorous young man stepped forward, "Little Gouzi Li pays his respects to the queen."

Shutong saw that this person had strong facial features, and there was a scar on his left eye, which made his simple and honest face look like a bandit.

"Li Gouzi? That's the name!" Shutong laughed directly.

Li Gouzi patted his head in embarrassment, and the second master also smiled and said: "The queen, let's call him by her nickname, Scar Eye! This scar is the brat's glory in fighting!"

Shutong nodded and went into the stockade, and found that the place was not small, it was divided into fields, and the inside was full of lush plants, but unfortunately she didn't know what it was?
There are many ragged and handcuffed people working in the fields.

I remember that the crops in Wangyue Village are almost finished harvesting, why is it still green here?
Shutong asked: "I don't think these are rice?"

Just as the Erdang was about to reply, Scar Eye was already ahead of him and said, "Queen, we grow tobacco leaves here!"

The second master glared at him, that scarred eye finally got a chance to show his face in front of the queen, and he wasn't afraid of him.

With a smile, he said: "Majesty, the climate in our valley is humid, which is suitable for the growth of tobacco leaves, and high-quality shredded tobacco can be produced here."

"Tobacco?" Shutong didn't know about this since he didn't smoke.

Scar Eye said again: "Our Lianhua Village can grow to such a large scale, it is only because of these shredded tobacco that it grows strong!"

The Erdang family gave him a gouged look, and then said: "My lord, this kind of opium is worth more than growing crops, and the hundreds of brothers in the cottage are all relying on this to eat!"

Shutong wondered, "Aren't you bandits? Looting houses should be your right way. Why are you growing crops again?"

Erdang said with a smile: "This Lianhua Mountain was not our territory before, and the brothers all went up the mountain later."

He continued to explain, "Look at the size of this land! It was opened by a wealthy businessman from Yunnan. This person is a relative of Ya Daotai in the same city. He used his power to grow and sell tobacco and make a fortune. windfall."

Shutong seemed to be listening to a story, "So it was collusion between government and businessmen, how did it fall into your hands?"

Er Dangjia said with a smile: "It's also because that guy is too greedy, relying on himself to make a fortune and trying to bribe his boss to get promoted, but he didn't expect that his boss was beheaded for committing crimes, and his current crimes were also found out!"

"The Fuya Daotai ransacked his home and asked him to kill him. The wealthy businessman in Yunnan panicked and took away his property and wanted to go back to his hometown to avoid the limelight. We robbed him on the way. Only then did we know that there is such a good place, and the brothers came to Lianhua Mountain!"

Shutong laughed secretly, "Then you guys have taken advantage of it, what about the rich businessman?"

The Erdang family smiled and said: "Just kill him, and the body will be buried in the field as fertilizer! Now these are all your territory, Queen!"

Shutong also laughed when he heard it, "You said that you can make a lot of money by growing tobacco, so why do you still act like bandits and rob everywhere?"

Erdangjia said with a sneer: "Brothers just started their careers by robbing and robbing their homes, so don't forget your roots! Besides, who would think too much money!"

Shutong nodded knowingly, and his eyes fell on the people working in the fields again.
