Chapter 1 first quarter
The rail wheels ran over the loess road, leaving two traces mixed with gold and blood red.
What makes the carriage imprinted deeply is the heavy package that exudes a sea breeze-like salty smell, and hundreds of salt blocks are wrapped in layers of oil-soaked thick cloth.White blinding salt.Salt as bright as diamonds.Necessities for human survival.Source of wealth and power.
On the roof of the car stood a small flag woven with gold silk, with a black word "Feng" embroidered on it.
Those who created this flag sixty years ago never dreamed in their life that it would one day assume such great authority.
The heavy salt tax is equivalent to hundreds of times the price of salt, and the blood of the greedy dynasty devours the blood of the inland people.
And private salt has become a great cause of sharing wealth with the country.
Fourteen galloping horses galloped along the mountain path, passed through the forest covered with dead leaves, and arrived at a wooden house beside the official road. The wooden house collapsed as if it had been hit by a tornado.Broken boards and rafters were scattered, and three dead bodies lay beneath.The other two corpses were lying on the flaming red leaves outside the house. There were two knights in the lead, one was a dark-skinned, fat and short black dog Ba Ye, and the other was a man with a thin body like a child, with sparse rat whiskers on his lips. Black Dog Ba Ye waved his right wrist tied with coils of thin hemp rope.Eight of the subordinates who followed immediately jumped off the saddle and scattered into the forest. The eight people turned back quickly, looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the black dog Ba Ye at the same time. Heigou Baye jumped off his horse, walked to one of the dead bodies, and knelt down to observe carefully. The rat-bearded man also got off his horse and came over. Black Dog Ba Ye turned over the corpse. "Brother Seven, what a heavy technique." He stood up and scanned the other four corpses. "The death conditions are all the same. It's fucking wicked..." "Seventh Brother" - Yin Qi, who is ranked seventh among the "Eight Great Butchers in the Slaughterhouse", and nicknamed "Suffocated Throat", caressed the hair on his lips. "Hmm... the same person did it... well..." Yin Qi's voice was so weak that it seemed to be pulling a thin thread. "...Even the outpost...was smashed into...like this...I'm afraid...this man's weapon... weighs more than seventy catties..." The black dog looked at a broken pillar, with cold sweat on his forehead. "'Feng Yilong' has such a master! I'm afraid only the fourth brother and the three brothers can deal with it..." "Hmm..." Yin Qi said, "Go back...ask for instructions...boss..."
"Fuck you mother! Tell me clearly!" Sitting in the dark kiln, Ma Qianjun felt like he was in a steamer, and the cloth shirt on his back and neck was soaked with sweat.It was mid-autumn, but the air in the kiln was almost suffocating.Ma Qianjun's temper also became irritable due to the heat. Ma Qianjun was a disciple of Black Dog Ba Ye, and he was sworn brothers with the mangy Dagui who died for no reason.Dagui's death four months ago made him still unable to calm down.For this reason, he went to the earthen temple in the city, pierced his finger with a sharp knife, dripped blood on the yellow paper, and burned the yellow paper in front of the god statue to swear that he would kill the culprit of Dagui with his hands. The bustard was even more flustered by Ma Qianjun's scolding, she opened her mouth wide but couldn't make a sound. "Speak up, Mommy Bai." Ma Qianjun stood up from his chair and walked to a corpse on the ground.A short black arrow was nailed deep into the dead man's throat, "Tell me how my brother died." Ma Qianjun, the madam, could tell that Ma Qianjun's mood had eased. "I came here a month ago... I gambled a few times in Poshi Lili - that's the place of 'Feng Yilong'..." "Why? Isn't there a place for you to bet around here at Chicken Wai? Why go to the 'Yankees' side?" "... I'm in the casino here... I'm in debt... Your people don't allow me to go in again..." Bai Ma said tremblingly. "...But I always have to make money... Sigh, I'm still unlucky, and I owe 'Feng Yilong' three hundred and fifty taels of silver..." "What does that have to do with my brother?" Ma Qianjun showed an impatient look. "Today, a bastard named Xiao Hong from the casino over there came to me to collect the money. I never thought that people from 'Feng Yilong' would dare to go into the chicken circle to collect debts... There is a tall and thin man behind him Guy, the black hat is pulled down very low, I thought it was Xiao Hong's subordinate, and I didn't pay much attention to it, I didn't expect this guy..." "Go on!" "Second brother Ma just happened to be here to have fun, so of course I pulled him out... When the second brother was about to use a knife on that bastard Xiao Hong, that guy moved behind Xiao Hong... It seemed that he raised his hand... I couldn't see anything clearly, there was a distance of six or seven feet between that guy and my second brother, but the guy just moved like this, and my second brother fell down without making a sound... I was so scared that I peed on the ground It's in the crotch, so I have to take out all the money in the kiln..." Bai Ma is dead, Ma Qianjun thought to himself.She probably doesn't know yet.The owner of this kiln is the owner of the "slaughterhouse".He didn't say a word, nor did he have any sympathy for her. The killing of his own brother certainly made Ma Qianjun feel a twinge of pain.He was wondering how to tell his mother. But now another, more important thought occupied his mind. Report this matter to Heigou Baye immediately: "Feng Yilong" has come to be a master of arrows.
