As soon as these words were said, the men who had just become angry were immediately panicked.

"Brother, you can't say this nonsense, you want to search your house and lose your head!"

A full can of good wine sprinkled on the ground, causing bursts of wine fragrance. Wei Mingyan stood in it and looked at the bandits who were scared by his words except Hou Er.

"Home? Do you still have a home?"

"In the past, you obeyed the words of the court and the government, and they wanted you to live, and you would die."

Wei Mingyan bounced the sparks on his body. Next to the fire, his handsome handsome face was shining brightly and darkly by the fire, which made people feel scared.

"If you don't mention the relatives who died in the village, just the children who were taken away, you will not rebel. You will be deserters in this life and will never be able to return to your roots, let alone find your own children."

He glanced at the people around him, and they had fear in their eyes, and more so, the idea that had been instilled since their birth was shocked and panic.

But after hearing Wei Mingyan's last words, everyone's eyes lit up, "Child..."

But then, the light disappeared, and a man lowered his head and murmured, "How could he find it back..."

“It’s been seven years.”

"What's wrong with seven years!"

Wei Mingyan sneered, "You may not find it, but if you refuse to look for it, you will never find it."

"The boy is a slave, trampled on, the girl is a maid, sold to a brothel, and never has a way out in his life."

"When they suffer and are desperate, will they miss their parents and want their father to save them, hoping to escape from the sea of ​​suffering? Where are you when they think about it? You are forced to destroy your family and die, and you cannot return home. You can only hide on this mountain, no one is human, no ghost or ghost."

"If you don't fight, let your children suffer. You are just staying here in a daze, and you are worried that the government will come to you every day."

"If you fight hard, you will be prosperous and prosperous after the success of your business. If you fail, your head will fall to the ground. But I, Wei Mingyan, promise here that if the brothers and brothers work together with me, at least when they are alive, they will not be left behind even if they are good wine and meat, and they will find their children and daughters!"

He took out the silver he exchanged during the day from his arms and threw it on the ground. The white silver was spread all over the ground, but no one present moved.

The bandits stood up and heard the man say, "If you want, stay. If you don't want, share the money equally and go down the mountain by yourself."

Go down the mountain?

What can I do when I go down the mountain?

They have no identity and no family. Even if they have silver, they are in chaos outside, will they dare to take it out and spend it?

Can rebel...

From childhood to adulthood, men who were instilled with the emperor as heaven, and those who wanted to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism really did not dare to make decisions.

Since leaving the village, the bandits who had been following Mo Dahou Er subconsciously looked at the two they had been obeying.

Mo Da was still hesitating, but Hou Er said frankly, "As long as I can find my girl, I can do anything!"

"My whole family is gone. What's the point of living like this? Even if you really fail, you will die. You can go down and meet my wife!"

With his words, one of the men also smashed the bowl in his hand to the ground with red eyes, "Damn it! At worst, it's just a death!"

With these two leading roles, the bandits stood up one by one.

"Okay! If you rebel, you will rebel! Even if you fail, after you get off the Hall of Yama, I can still straighten my waist and say to my wife, I will avenge you!"

"Dry!!"

"Kill the dog emperor! Kill those corrupt officials!"

The sound of the bowl being smashed and the increasingly strong aroma of wine completely filled the fires.

In the end, only Mo Da was left and he was still standing there.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, and Mo Da's eyes had already turned red. For no reason, he remembered that before he left, his daughter hugged his legs and said, "Dad, Xuanniang is waiting for you to come back."

Mo Da touched his daughter's head at that time and said, "Dad promised you that you will definitely come back."

His old mother with white hair was full of tears on her face, and she was still trying hard to comfort her son, "Go, I will take care of Xuan Mother, let's wait for you to come back together."

That day, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Mom! I will definitely come back."

Later, he went back.

He became a deserter, and he was shocked and scared. He just wanted to take his mother and daughter to run away with him. But when he entered the village, he saw his mother lying on the ground with her eyes turning white.

She stretched out her hand in one direction, as if begging for something.

Mo Da didn't dare to think deeply at that time, but now she thinks that she is begging those people not to take Xuanniang away...

The firelight shone on Mo Da's face. He wiped the tears from his face, raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, as long as you can really help me find my daughter, I, Mo Da, even if I am born and die, I will follow you!"

Wei Mingyan spread the rice paper, pen and ink bought at the foot of the mountain there, "Hou Er, come here first and tell me what your daughter looks like, what her name is, how old she is, whether she has birthmarks or something."

Hou Er's eyes were still with tears in his eyes. After hearing this, he hurried forward, "She called Ya'er. I was seven years old when I left. I'm fourteen years old this year. My eyes are following her mother. They are very big and bright. There is a mole under the corner of my right eye..."

Although seven years have passed, for them, one day they didn’t miss their wife and children, because Wei Mingyan explained that birthmark is the most important. Hou Er added, “There is a scar on the inside of Ya’er’s left arm. She was burned when she was a child, probably so big…”

He gestured, and the others followed behind him and waited in line. Everyone didn't say anything, as if they were afraid of disturbing Wei Mingyan who was listening to Hou Er's voice recording, but everyone had something other than numbness in their eyes.

Men came forward one by one.

"My son is three years old, he should be ten years old now. He has a big head and a red birthmark in his thigh..."

"My two children..."

Those who have obvious birthmarks said carefully and hopefully. If they really can't remember whether there is any, they can only explain the child's appearance carefully with regret. Sometimes, as soon as they walked aside, they would hurry back and correct the part they said wrongly just now.

Dozens of men kept to the point of dawn, and Wei Mingyan also wrote dozens of pieces of rice paper in his hand, and then all the records were completed.

Although they didn't sleep all night, they were not sleepy at all, but were excited, especially Mo Da, who came to Wei Mingyan with anticipation and asked carefully, "Brother, can we really find our children with these?"

"It will be much more convenient to find these things than those in the entire Jin State."

Wei Mingyan looked at their high mood and poured a basin of cold water. "Seven years have passed, and older children may still remember it, but those children may have forgotten what they used to do, so it will be more difficult to find them. Be mentally prepared."

The man closest to them smiled bitterly with a sad expression, "We understand, just... want to find it, what if I find it."

"What should we do now?" Mo Da asked again, "Will we spread these out first?"

"No."

Wei Mingyan shook his head and did not continue talking. Instead, he looked at the man who had Xu Ken and took a piece of rice paper to copy his daughter's information. "Hou Er, who do you think you need to get the news from whom to find the children."

Hou Er raised his head, thought for a few seconds and replied uncertainly, "From the hands of the person who took the child away."

"They took them away at the beginning, and even if they didn't record the specific ones, they would definitely know where the children were going."

He finished his thoughts with some anxiety, and then he saw the man in front of him nodding with admiration in his eyes.

"You are right, so our first step is to capture your hometown, Miaocheng."

"But we only have these people..."

"Who said we have few people?"

Wei Mingyan curled his lips and smiled with a hint of mocking in his eyes, "Miaocheng was the most prosperous Nanxiang when the late emperor was present, and the population was the largest. There were nearly 300 people in your small village alone. Excluding those who had been forced to the battlefield over the years, the remaining people were too many compared to the soldiers in the Miaocheng government."

"But they are all ordinary people..."

The man stopped Mo Da's words, "It was the people who were forced to survive."

"A person can do anything when he is in a desperate situation."

He said in a deep voice, "As long as you capture Miaocheng, the road ahead will be a hundred times easier."

"Remember, from now on, I am your young master and you are servants. We went to Miaocheng to do business."

Wei Mingyan took out the silver notes and handed them to Hou Er, "You can take this money and change into the clothes of the servants later. Go to the foot of the mountain to buy me some good clothes. The more luxurious the better. All the young masters have, you must buy them. Then make three good clothes for each brother. The knife that should be paired with, the bigger the show, the better."

"Go to visit Mr. Li again. This time, we will have a big talk."

Hou Er's eyes flashed, he hadn't slept for a night, and had cried before. At this moment, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, but when he looked at the person in front of him, he had long disappeared from his previous dissatisfaction and arrogance.

He put this large amount of silver notes that he had never seen in his life in his arms, and respectfully lowered his head, "Yes, brother."

Mo Da didn't notice that he had changed his name at all, and was asking in confusion, "Brother, what are you going to do? Didn't you say you want to attack Miaocheng?"

Wei Mingyan patted his shoulder and said, "Sing the opera."

"Sing a big show that can be seen all over the world."

***

Miaocheng was once the most prosperous city in Jin State, close to the south and the river. Almost all the women here have fair skin and beautiful appearance, gentle personalities, while men have good skills in building houses and fishing.

When the late emperor was alive, he inspected three times, and both times were in Miaocheng.

Although the people here do not say that everyone is rich, they can hardly be hungry because they rely on water to make a living. Especially because they are good at building houses and gardens, people often come to invite craftsmen from Miaocheng to build gardens for themselves. Therefore, the people in Miaocheng who are engaged in these jobs are relatively rich.

They lived happily for generations, and finally welcomed a new parent and the younger brother of the imperial concubine in the dynasty.

From then on, the people of Miaocheng lived in dire straits.

The Jin State has been in constant wars over the years, with floods and droughts. The people have been living unsatisfied and are forced to go to the army. It is fine if there is no pillar at home at all, but the taxes on them are heavier than each other.

At the beginning, just added 10%, and later, 20%, 30%...

In the end, after working hard for a year, the tired people were not healthy anymore, and the money they earned was not as much as they had paid.

If there is no money to pay, the government will break into the house with a knife, and take all the children in the house away for sale. If there are no children, only women, take them away.
To be continued...
