Zhang Bingsheng (Zhang Xianzhong), the second of the Eight Great Bandits

Wang Wei sighed and said: "Everyone says that I, Wang Wei, am harsh, yet they do not know that the military provisions originally allocated to my troops have been intercepted by the Ministry of War to aid the capital.

The woman's body was soft and weak, her eyes fixed on her husband bound to the withered tree, hoping that after this villain's rampage, they could still live their lives anew

The sheep grazing at the foot of the mountain are completely unaware of this, even the one that was thrown by Zhang Bingzhong is quietly grazing at this moment

The shepherd's furious accusation fell upon Zhang Bingzhong's ears, transforming into the most violent aphrodisiac in the world. It was not only his body that galloped upon the woman, but also the unparalleled resentment that resided in his heart

It seems that the wound on my buttocks has scabbed over, so I put on my pants, slung a roasted leg of lamb over my shoulder, and walked away along the foot of the mountain

Damn it

Zhang Bingzhong did not chase after it, but instead grabbed a sheep and slammed it heavily to the ground. The sheep let out a tragic bleat, and the shepherd's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, no longer able to run.

Zhang Bingzhong remained silent for a while, then extended a hand and said: "The provisions for half a year have not yet been delivered"

Zhang Bingzhong slowly raised his head, gazing at the two officials seated on the platform. He neither cried out in pain nor begged for mercy, but simply stared intently at the officials.

Chen Hongfan said coldly: "This is a gift from me to you!"

Seeing Zhang Bingzhong walking towards his wife step by step, completely naked, the shepherd cried out in despair: "Heavenly Grandfather, open your eyes and take a look!"

A massive explosion occurred in the gunpowder depot, turning nearly half of the capital into ruins. Two high-ranking officials in the court perished, and all the eunuchs in Your Majesty's kitchen were killed by falling debris. Your Majesty cowered under the offering table, trembling and afraid to emerge... In such a situation, who could still pay attention to this remote border area of Yansui?

Damn it

Chen Hongfan shook his head and said: "It is only natural for soldiers to receive their rations. At present, I can still barely maintain the situation, but if the rations are not distributed soon, I fear a mutiny is imminent."

Looking at the shepherd's unblinking eyes, Zhang Bingzhong spat and said, "Grandfather actually forgot that there are wolves here at night"

The great fire burned for more than an hour before it gradually extinguished. At this time, Zhang Bingzhong had finished eating the lamb and still felt somewhat unsatisfied. He looked around but found no other food, while the remaining lamb was already covered with flies.

Chen Hongfan lay on his back, gazing at the dim yellow sun in the sky for a moment. He then took a handful of coins from his pocket and tossed them in front of Zhang Bingzhong's face, saying lightly: "This is all there is!"

The woman's head drooped weakly to one side. Zhang Bingzhong checked the woman's breath and soon realized that she was already dead

This year's rainfall has been poor, and there is not much grass on the mountains, with only a dozen or so thin sheep struggling to graze on the roots of the grass

As he dug out the last copper coin from the ground, he looked regretfully at the empty earth and murmured, "I still need one hundred and forty-seven wen!"

The shepherd, filled with rage, tore off his clothes and charged directly at Zhang Bingzhong.

Zhang Bingzhong walked on, and gradually the wound on his buttocks stopped bleeding; his back was uninjured, which was Zhang Bingzhong's greatest fortune

The military baton struck Zhang Bingzhong's plump posterior, causing blood to spatter

Zhang Bingzhong opened his mouth wide and glanced at the shepherd, saying: "The heavens have perished"

Maintain it, until it can no longer be maintained, there will always be a way...

50, 51, 52, 53 ... ...

From noon until sunset, and then from sunset until dawn, Zhang Bingzhong stopped in a hollow in the mountains

Wang Wei cast a sidelong glance at Chen Hongfan and said: "What is there to pity about a convict? The military law is strict; if it weren't for your plea, this convict's head would already be displayed outside the gate as a warning. Do you all think this is some kind of place? Just because we are short of half a year's worth of military rations, you dare to make such a fuss? Beheading would be a light punishment."

Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven ... one hundred! Sentence served!

After speaking, he laughed heartily as he picked up the woman horizontally, saying: "Let me enjoy myself first before filling my stomach!"

The ground is strewn with corpses, primarily of sheep, followed by that of the shepherd.

Zhang Bingzhong's bearded face twitched slightly as he looked up at Chen Hongfan and said, "In the end, the Ming Dynasty owes me 147 wen!"

He opened the broken door of the thatched cottage, and the woman lay naked on a bed covered with hay. Zhang Bingzhong pushed the woman's head and said: "Get up, prepare a meal for grandpa!"

Since the establishment of the military camp here, there have been no signs of human habitation in the surrounding area

Chen Hongfan let out a bitter smile and said, "I shall strictly adhere to the orders of the esteemed lord!"

Suddenly, I spotted Zhang Bingzhong and shouted loudly, jumping up and running away

Zhang Bingzhong laughed uproariously, finding a wool rope to bind the shepherd. While tying him up, he sneered, "Grandfather has traveled all day and night just to find your wife"

Chen Hongfan let out a cold laugh and said, "Put on your pants and get lost"

Chen Hongfan noticed a hint of dejection on Wang Wei's face, so he sighed and continued to observe the trial

Chen Hongfan let out a slight sigh and said to General Wang Wei, "Among those executed under military law today, this person is the most regrettable!"

Chen Hongfan said in a low voice: "My lord, the general, today alone we have dealt with two hundred and thirty-seven disobedient soldiers. If we do not distribute the military rations soon, I fear the morale of the troops will be unstable"

Faintly hearing a few bleats of sheep, a smile appeared on his face as he quickened his pace and walked into the valley.

The shepherd's voice gradually became hoarse, then turned into a scream, and soon fell silent.

Zhang Bingzhong smiled and said to the shepherd: "Grandfather only needs one sheep... Additionally, I also need to borrow your wife for a while"

Zhang Bingzhong bent down to pick up his pants, but did not put them on. He casually draped the pants over his shoulder and limped out of the military camp, swaying his hips with the burdens hanging down.

The thatched cottage quickly caught fire, the flames raging fiercely, and before long, the lamb skewered on the branches began to sizzle.

The frail shepherd was no match for Zhang Bingzhong, who swiftly reached out and firmly grasped the shepherd's head with one hand. The shepherd flailed his arms in a desperate attempt to strike this villain, but unfortunately, against the long arms and legs of Zhang Bingzhong, his resistance was as futile as that of a mischievous child. With a twist of his wrist, Zhang Bingzhong made the shepherd spin involuntarily, and then he was kicked to the ground by Zhang Bingzhong's large, furry foot.

Zhang Bingzhong spat again, irritably covering the woman's corpse with a tattered wool blanket, and then sat at the door, troubled about today's food.

Zhang Bingzhong struggled to get up from the ground, disregarding the pants he had thrown aside, with his bloodied and bruised backside exposed, kneeling on the ground as he picked up the coins one by one

She is undoubtedly the most beautiful maiden within a hundred miles of this area

The chief of Chen Hongfan's personal guards reported the count with a blank expression, while two burly guards raised their batons high and then brought them down forcefully

Having said that, Chen Hongfan rose and approached Zhang Bingzhong, looking down at him and said: "This is the utmost I can do for you, General. The Commander cannot accommodate you, Zhang Bingzhong, you must seek your own way out.

Once I stepped out the door, I did not look back

Whether it is the sheep or the shepherd, their bodies are not quite whole, scattered in disarray within a radius of ten zhang.

The shepherd's chest was pinned down by a large foot, and despite using all his strength, he could not pry that leg away. In despair, he shouted towards the nearby thatched cottage: "Chunya, run away..."

Wang Wei glanced at Zhang Bingzhong and said to Chen Hongfan: "This person is unruly and defiant. Under normal circumstances, I would greatly appreciate such fierce soldiers, but at this moment, it is better not to keep such individuals in the army to avoid suffering from their harm."

As far as the eye can see, there is only a series of hills, connected one after another. These hills are not high, resembling enormous dough buns lying across the land

Wang Wei shook his head and said: "The chaos in Shaanxi is already a fact, and the court is aware of it. Therefore, let it be chaotic; it is better than having the capital in turmoil."

The shepherd's entrails were hollowed out by the wolf, and many sheep's entrails also disappeared without a trace

Zhang Bingzhong looked at the shepherd struggling at his feet with a smile, casting a fiery gaze towards the thatched cottage

They do not know that the more they eat, the fatter their bodies become, and the closer they are to the date of death

Zhang Bingzhong gritted his teeth and remained silent, only burying his hands deeply into the yellow earth, his heart filled with uncontrollable anger

As the number of personal guards reached one hundred, the two executioners simultaneously halted, leaning on their staffs and breathing heavily.

The Ministry of War has not allocated any food supplies; what do you expect me to distribute to them

At dawn, when Zhang Bingzhong emerged naked from the thatched cottage, he glanced at the withered tree and involuntarily cursed, "Damn it!"

After sitting for just a moment, Zhang Bingzhong began to devise a plan in his heart. He tossed the shepherd's light and lifeless body into the thatched hut, ignited the straw with a fire stick, and then found some leftover mutton, skewering it on a wooden branch to wait for the fire to catch.

A woman rushed out of the thatched cottage in a panic, like a headless fly trying to run behind the hill, but she saw her husband struggling at the feet of Zhang Bingzhong. She stopped halfway, slowly approaching Zhang Bingzhong, taking one step at a time.

Damn it

A shepherd sits under a barkless elm tree, watching over his sheep

Zhang Bingzhong, do you still want me to live? Do you still want me to live?

The sky gradually darkened, and the flock of sheep huddled together tightly around the shepherd. After the sun had completely set, the chilly mountain breeze quietly drifted along the valley, carrying the woman's mournful cries and wails away to the heavens.
