Chapter 72

It takes only two hours to get from Pengze County to Pengze, but now it takes four hours. It's not because they have made a long way to go.

The most important thing is that there are too many mountain bandits on the road. For such a long time, they have directly destroyed more than ten villages.

After leaving Pengze mountain, there is a wide plain. In fact, this place is also very suitable for living.

Because of Pengze's reasons, the land in this area is also very fertile. If rice is planted, the yield will certainly increase greatly.

However, because there are too many water thieves in this area, most of the farmers who originally lived here abandoned their fields and moved to further places.

There are only some fishermen who live here. Most of them are destitute people who have no place to live in. Therefore, the water thieves usually let them go.

Their real target is the merchants of water transportation. Those who have little power in their families and have no one to support them are their first choice.

They do not dare to provoke the real big forces. What's more, they don't touch the things of the imperial court. These are taboos.

Because of these reasons, Pengze County and the surrounding counties did not abolish this Kung Fu. Because Pengze is at the junction of several counties, it is not surprising that such a situation occurs.

These water thieves are even more familiar with Pengze's situation than the officers and soldiers. They are like cunning loaches in Pengze.

Another thing is that the water thieves themselves have a characteristic, that is, they can't catch them. Every time a nearby county wants to take them for an operation, they can also escape along the Yangtze River.

These water thieves are much better than ordinary officers and soldiers, especially the brocade sail thieves.

However, the Jinfan bandits have not yet developed. Otherwise, it is estimated that the court will begin to attach importance to it. It is not known whether Ganning has grasped the secret method of training Jinfan thieves.

"Old man, do you know where there are water thieves here?"

Qin Shuo saw an old man weaving a net by the bank, so he went up to him and asked.

"Ma what Mei?" The old man's ears didn't seem to be very good, and he said something wrong with the horse's mouth.

"I said," uncle, have you ever seen a water thief? Where is a water thief here? "

Qin Shuo repeated it aloud.

"Water thief? What do you want to know about this? We are all civilians. How can the common people know what water thieves are? You know they are thieves. If everyone knows where they are, they are not thieves. "

The old man did not turn his head, and continued to do what he was doing.

"Do you know how many thieves are here? Or how many pirates are there? "

Qin Shuo asked another question.

"I don't know how many water thieves are in Pengze lake for 800 Li. If you ask about the number, I can't say. There should be about 340000 people anyway."

"Look at you, are you officers and soldiers? If only a few officers and men are found out by those water thieves, they will probably arrest all of you and kill them. Even if they bring forty or fifty thousand officers and men to come here, they will not be able to destroy them. "

The old man said, it seems that he has lived here since he was a child and never left his hometown.

This is one of the disadvantages of the ten fold increase in the world's population. Originally, there should have been four or five thousand water thieves in Hongze Lake in ancient times, but in the game, it suddenly increased so many times.

It's no wonder these counties can't do anything about these water thieves because they can't beat them.

These water thieves are basically huddled together. Although there are some contradictions, and they will fight with each other, when the officers and soldiers come, they will also unite with each other.

In recent years, the soldiers who paid for the payment did not know how many of them fed the bottom of Pengze lake, all for some meritorious deeds. Therefore, tie Han Han, who came to suppress the bandits, did not get the merit, but took his own life.

"It's a bit difficult now."

Qin Shuo smacked his mouth, but also had some helplessness.

Some of what I thought before was too beautiful. The player in the previous life didn't know how to subdue Ganning. Now I even encountered it is a very difficult thing.

"Recently, a new wave of water thieves came from outside. All of them were young people. I don't know what kind of disaster they caused. The officers and soldiers in Jingzhou chased them here."

The old man seems to think of this matter, it is estimated that there are some boring, then unintentionally said.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, this sentence also caused Qin Shuo's attention.

The new gang of water thieves? A bunch of young people? Jingzhou?

These three news all point to one thing, that is, this gang of water thieves should be Gan Ning and a group of his naughty friends.

"So how are they now? Have you been caught by the officers and men? " Qin Shuo is also nervous to ask a way, if really caught that oneself also not easy to do."No, dead." The old man said casually.

"Dead?" Qin Shuo immediately felt that there was a feeling of thunder. How could this be possible? Ganning was also a very important general in the Three Kingdoms. How could he die?

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Qin Shuo asked in a hurry.

"No, but at that time, they were arrested by officers and soldiers, and those thieves in Pengze were afraid to help, so they caught most of them, and a small number of them were injured and jumped into the lake."

The old man said, in his opinion, even if a person with good water quality jumps down in Pengze, there is no big difference between him and death.

The point is that the place where they jump into the river is about two miles away from the shore. According to normal logic, few of them can swim so far when they are injured.

However, after hearing this, Qin Shuo is also relieved that the system will not let these important historical generals die without the intervention of players. Otherwise, there will be great changes in the future history.

People who jump into the river like this do not witness the death method of death. Basically, they can conclude that there is nothing too big for Ganning.

So that is to say, Ganning should still be near Pengze. If he is injured, he should not be far away. It seems that he did not go there in vain this time.

Even so, it is not easy to find Gan Ning's whereabouts. Looking at the boundless lake and the endless shore, Qin Shuo sighed gently.
