Chapter 68: Black Tiger Descends the Mountain

four thousand three hundred yuan, even if they worked day and night, they couldn't finish them!Money may be easy to earn, but exceeding one's capacity will eventually lead to one's demise.When they u..."Make way, make way! Everyone who doesn't want to die, get out of my way!"

The Han men's eyes were venomous, brandishing their whips and galloping wildly on horseback, completely disregarding the panicked people on the road.

Some commoners were caught off guard and knocked aside by the galloping horses, howling in pain, but no one paid them any attention.

"Haha, Tiger brother, you're staying in the city for a few more days this time. Let's eat some good food. You've been holed up in the mountains for so long, all my brothers are starving!"

The women in this city, we should have some fun with them too. Look at that girl, her figure, and her skin, so watery!

"Yeah, the women in the kiln were really something else. They were way stronger than those we snatched. The women caught on the mountain just wanted to live or die, it was boring."

"Shut the ** up!"

The burly man with a black face, riding at the front, roared coldly, "Do you want everyone to know you're bandits Get into town and be more low-key!"

The leading Han man was tall and imposing, his face sullen. His long, narrow eyes glinted with malice, and a sneer played on his lips.

"What are you afraid of, Tiger Brother With Lord Zhou and Lord Zhao backing us, who could possibly harm us"

"That's right, Jianghe County and our territory aren't that different anyway. If it wasn't for you, Tiger Brother, stopping us, my brothers would have taken over this whole county!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

The Han people burst into laughter.

Heihei's face turned completely black. He reined in his horse, slowing to a halt, and looked back at the crowd.

"Be quiet!"

The voice wasn't loud, but the bandits were intimidated by that terrifying gaze. Thinking of Tiger Brother's methods, they immediately shut their mouths obediently, and there was only the sound of horses' hooves left in an instant.

"Later, the second and third child will go with me to Zhou's house to deliver money. The rest of you go to the inn. All of you be good! This isn't the mountains. We came out here to make money, so don't cause any trouble!"

"Without my command, who dares to cause trouble... Don't blame Tiger Brother for not treating him as a brother!"

That evening, Hei Hu brought the counterfeit Second and Third Masters along with a chest of silver to the Zhou family. He drank and chatted happily with Zhou Kun and his son.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of dishes, Zhou Zhengyang got down to business.

"Tiger Brother, this is a small matter for me, I want to ask you for a favor."

Black Tiger narrowed his eyes and grinned, "Young Master Zhou, there's no need for such politeness. If there's anything Black Tiger can do to help, just give the order!"

“Well, let me be straightforward. There's a Yang Lin in Haoshān Village. He's a poor scholar, but he's incredibly arrogant and doesn't treat our Zhou family as anything important. Recently, he even offended Zhao Lord, making him very angry!”

"Oh"

The black tiger glared, his eyes narrowed as he said coldly: "This man is so bold! Don't worry, Young Master Zhou. If anyone dares to provoke the Zhou family, I will kill him the next day! Tell me how many pieces you want him chopped into, and that's how many pieces I'll give him."

Facing Hei Hu's cold gaze, Zhou Zhengyang didn't dare to look directly at him and hurriedly said, "Then I'll have to trouble Tiger Brother. This is a small token of appreciation. After the matter is settled, there will be another grand reward."

Saying that, Zhou Zhengyang took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Heihu.

The black tiger's eyes lit up instantly.

This piece of gold weighs at least five ounces, equivalent to fifty ounces of silver!

When did Zhou Jia ever become so generous

"However, there's one thing. We and Lord Zhao want to live! This Yang Lin, he married ten wives. In the end, Tiger Brother you bring him and all his women back to us."

Black Tiger's eyes lit up again, and he immediately patted his chest: "No problem! I, Black Tiger, will take care of this!"

After the serious business was over, Zhou Kun just seemed to react now, smiling and raising his glass: "Come on, let's drink!"

That night, as soon as Heihǔ and his men left the Zhōu residence, the second and third lieutenants couldn't help but speak up. "Heihǔ," the second lieutenant said, "This doesn't feel right. We didn't need to get involved for something like arresting a poor scholar."

"Yeah, Tiger Brother, this silver is too much, I always feel it's not that simple."

Heit Hu's face was grim. "Do I need you to tell me Go investigate Yang Lin first. What is his story Does he have any connections Why haven't the Zhao family and Zhou family moved against him directly And why are they capturing him alive"

Heihei is a smart man. He thinks that even if he's a bandit, he has to use his brain, or he won't even know how he died.

In previous years, he climbed the ranks of the government officials, giving Zhou and Zhao families a sum of money every year. The Zhou and Zhao families then tacitly allowed him to plunder at will throughout Jianghe County.

Thus, although he had to pay a large sum of money every year to honor the Zhao family and the Zhou family, his "business" was thriving. Throughout the entire Jianghe County, they plundered everywhere without worrying about being caught by the government.

Although Heihǔ lowered his posture before the Zhou family and Zhao family, he didn't really take them seriously.

Therefore, whether this matter is true or not, he still has to wait and see after checking.

The next day at noon, the people sent out by the Black Tiger Gang finally got news.

Inside the inn, the bandit leader reported his findings.

"Brother Tiger, that Yang Lin is really something. That tofu he's been selling everywhere recently was his idea!"

He also sells a magical potion, tofu is made with that potion, they say one bucket of the potion costs ten ounces of silver!

The little boss waved his hands excitedly.

Hearing a bucket of ten taels, the bandits were all shocked.

"My goodness, claiming to be a poor student! Turns out you're a real rich man!"

"Tiger Brother, I understand. The Zhou family and Zhao family want us to catch someone because they want the recipe for that medicinal water, right"

"Why don't we just get rid of Yang Lin! We can sell our own medicine water from then on!"

The bandits all looked expectantly at Black Tiger.

He glared at them, motioning for the small headman to continue his report.

"And a few days ago, there was a wealthy man surnamed Liu in their village who sent people to kill Yang Lin in the middle of the night. Guess what happened"

"Four people were sent, two died and two were seriously injured!"

The bandits were all taken aback.

Heihu also frowned slightly: "Could it be that Yang Lin is still a martial arts practitioner"

The small leader shook his head. "I don't know, no one knows what happened that night. All I know is Yang Lin was completely fine."

Later, Lord Zhao went to Aoshan Village himself, wanting to make trouble for Yang Lin. However, unexpectedly, the county magistrate stood up for Yang Lin, and even Lord Zhao couldn't do anything about him!

The bandit leader finished speaking, and all the bandits were stunned.

"Ha ha, no wonder the Zhou family is so generous, it turns out they're a bunch of crooks!" Black Tiger sneered.

"Tiger Brother, what should we do now What else can we do" The Second Master asked.

Heiti coldly said, "Do you know why the Zhou family asked us to handle this"

The bandits all shook their heads.

"Because we're outlaws! We don't have to follow the rules!"

The black tiger picked up the knife on the table, cut a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and squinted with a cold smile: “They Zhou family Zhao family are not doing good things, we can do.”

"Tomorrow morning, we'll set off for the village nestled in the mountains!"

"There's that Yang Lin!"re you Zhengs carrying around We could all be making money together, why must the Zheng family act like the Zhous and go it alone""That's right, everyone is here to make money. If anyone wants to eat...
