Speaking of Jinyinzhai, it can be considered as dominating the area in Fengao.

The two village leaders - Niu Youjin and Niu Youyin, are not the same martial arts genius, but their qualifications are indeed not bad. During those years when they were lay disciples in Shaolin Temple, their strength among their peers was also outstanding.

Unfortunately, these two people were not born to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name. Even after practicing in the Zen sect for seven or eight years, they were still full of wine, sex, money and energy.

So, they can't stay anymore...

One night, the two of them stole into the Sutra Pavilion, each recited half of the secret book of "Vajra Legs", and then fled down the mountain through the dog hole.

Some people may wonder why these two guys didn’t steal the secret book or copy it out?

It's very simple, they dare not.

It would be fine if you memorize this skill secretly and practice it yourself. As long as you don’t use it to do something wrong in the world in the future, resulting in enemies coming to Shaolin to settle the score, the monks will turn a blind eye.

But if you steal the secret book directly, copy a copy, or teach others what you have learned... the nature will be different.

Do you really think that Shaolin Temple is so compassionate? As long as you pass a certain line, people will come to your house every minute to destroy your martial arts.

The Niu brothers were not stupid either and understood this truth, so after they went down the mountain, they did not hang out on the rivers and lakes. The two had already thought about it and turned into a bandit and became a mountain king.

With their abilities, they are naturally "invincible" in the bandit industry.

In just a few years, the two of them relied on their martial arts to flatten all the villages in Fengao, gathering the "elites" from the bandits into their Jinyin Village, and specially trained all the minions to master the use of bows and arrows. In terms of logistics, they also did a good job, and they were well prepared with weapons, food, grass and horses. They even spent a lot of money to manage the government offices, so that the officials could also open the door for them to facilitate them.

As of today, everyone in the surrounding areas of Fengao has known... No matter who it is, if you want to borrow from Fengao, even if you are a job, you have to leave some meaning of "buying a road fee", let alone ordinary people... At least one third of the property on you will take away.

Of course, as long as you give the money obediently, they won't make things difficult for you.

Although there is no such thing as robbery and sex, the people who did these things afterwards were sent to the government by the Niu brothers to the government for "doing it".

Their ideas are very clear: if you want to gain a foothold here for a long time, you must use discipline to control your subordinates. Those who can't even control their lower body and who have the impulse to kill people will sooner or later keep them... It's just right to send people like this to the government.

The county magistrate killed the bandits who came to the door, which not only achieved achievements but also calmed the public's anger, but did not affect their continued bribes from the Niu brothers.

As for the Niu brothers, they gave the government a few heads and made the government pay the wrong hand, and also cleared the cancer in the team.

This is called a win-win situation.

This is called "underground order".

Illegal, but to some extent it is reasonable.

In that era, if there were no such gray areas, the people would have suffered even more; before the Niu brothers came, when there were many small villages here, passers-by were robbed, so it would not be possible to "leave some money to buy the road".

I guess someone will say again, wouldn’t it be better if there were no bandits at all?

Yes, but that is impossible, because this assumption is similar to "if there were no corrupt officials", which is a very complicated issue.

In short, since the Double Harmony has appeared in the world, among the various bandits and rivers they encountered, in terms of strength, there is currently no one that can be compared with this Jinyinzhai. Even the "Eagle City Five Ring Knife" who appeared in the previous article, Mei Chiyang, the leader of Meijiazhai with the word "earth" on the Green Forest Road, was not as good as that of the Niu brothers.

The key...these two brothers are still very smart. They did not get involved in the affairs of the Jianghu or the Green Forest. They just colluded with officials and bandits in the local area and occupied the mountains and became kings. Because the people were comforted, no one came to cause trouble for them, both in the Jianghu or the Green Forest.

So today, why do they take the initiative to find trouble with Shuangxiong and Lei Buji?

He was naturally instructed by the Tang Fu.

Of course, Tang Fu didn't ask them to kill people. If they really wanted to kill these three people, the Lord Tang Banner would have done it himself. Besides, even if he really wanted the Niu brothers to kill people, the latter would not agree. If they dared to kill people in the world casually, why would they do bandits?

The reason why the Niu brothers took on this deal is that, first, the Five Spirit Sect gave a lot of money this time, and second, it is because... this deal will not kill anyone, it just requires them to act in a show.

…………

Before the second minute, Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai and Lei Buji sat down in the "Juyi Hall" in Jinyinzhai.

I don’t know why, but these bandits like to name this for their copycat meeting hall, as if each village can pick out one hundred and eight generals.

But that's not the point...

At this moment, Sun and Huang were so weak in their hearts.

On the way here, they realized something was wrong: It is said that this bandit robbed, there is no need to bring people back to the village? Just grab things, why should they bring people back? For these three big men, do you want to rob them?

Moreover, Sun Yixie and Lei Buji had heard the waiter in the nearby town store that the bandits in Jinyinzhai only charge tolls and generally do not kill themselves.

And... the ambush just now was carefully prepared. Not only were there many people dispatched, but Niu Youyin, the second village leader, was led by Niu Youyin. After the ambush was successful, the bandits did not touch Sun Huanglei's three-person luggage, and did not even search their bodies. They just tied the three-person ropes and escorted them back.

This is unusual no matter how you look at it, at least... it doesn't look like you are coming for money.

After sitting in silence for a moment, a figure appeared at the door.

The person who came here looked very similar to Niu Youyin, but the distance between his eyes and his nose was somewhat different. This man with golden silk fast boots is undoubtedly the leader of the village here - the King of Golden Foot, Niu Youjin.

"Brother." Niu Youyin came forward and said hello when he saw his brother.

The two brothers had a good relationship. Niu Youjin glanced at the three people sitting in the hall and smiled and helped his younger brother's arm: "Brother, thank you for your hard work."

"Hi, a little thing." Niu Youyin smiled, "Isn't it just to catch a few..."

"Hey!" Niu Youjin seemed to feel that his brother was about to say something offends people, so he quickly stopped him at this moment, "...Be kind to be polite, he is a guest."

"Uh? Oh...hahaha, yes." Niu Youyin smiled embarrassedly, "What my brother said is, I almost said bald."

After they said these words at the door, Niu Youjin turned around and walked a few steps, came to the three prisoners, and bowed with his fists: "Three..." He also observed the expressions of the three of them, "Niu Youjin has long heard of the names of the three young heroes. Today, I invite three of you to visit the village. I am not very kind and offended, so I hope he can forgive me."

"Hmph..." Huang Donglai sneered after hearing this, "The way the Niuzhai Master's 'requesting someone' is not just a bad etiquette. It is simply unconventional and amazing."

Niu Youjin was also mentally prepared for his sarcastic response. He smiled calmly and replied: "Haha... After all, our brothers are people who are in trouble, and the three are young heroes who are famous in the martial arts world. If I directly send someone to invite three of you, I guess you won't come either? And if there are too many people I sent to invite you, it may cause misunderstandings among the three. If we start fighting, both sides will be hurt again... So Niu made this bad decision."

At first glance, what he said really makes sense.

Huang Donglai didn't argue with him, and now he tied it up, so he should ask something about it: "Oh... OK, then we don't want to come now, and I wonder if the Niuzhai Lord can untie us first?"

"Ha, that's right." Niu Youjin agreed, and immediately shouted loudly to the outside, "Come on, let's loosen the three young heroes."

As soon as he finished speaking, three bandits came in and walked in and untied the ropes on Sun Huanglei and the other two.

The rope was untied, but Huang Donglai and the others did not act rashly.

Niu Youjin also knew very well that the other party would not do anything randomly - after all, this is also the hinterland of Jinyin Village. Not to mention that the martial arts of the two camp leaders are not bad, just say that the hundreds of fully armed bandits outside can not be easily dealt with. If you really want to start today, these three people will never be able to escape from this Juyi Hall.

"Well...but I don't know what the two village lords asked us to come here, why did it happen?" After releasing the tyrant, Huang Donglai did not thank the other party, because this was also what it should be.

"Haha, there's nothing big about it." Niu Youjin sat down as he spoke.

When Niu Youyin saw that his brother was sitting, he sat down aside.

"The deeds of the three young heroes in Luoyang have spread all over the world. Although my brothers have not been involved in the world for a long time, I have heard a little." What Niu Youjin said at this time is a cliché that has been prepared for a long time. The credibility is not important. Anyway, when he said that, the other party just heard this, "Because we admire the righteous deeds of the three young heroes, we have always wanted to make friends with you three friends..." He paused, "Previously, we received the news that the three happened to pass by our Fengao, so I tried my best to do the friendship of the landlords and asked the three to come to the village to entertain and get close to each other... Ha, if the three are willing to give us this face, they might as well stay here for a few days, just to make friends..."

Sun and Huang both listened to these words as jokes. They both knew that the other party had not yet expressed their true purpose and core content.

According to their intentions, they can first pretend to agree, and then slowly deal with each other.
