Li Mingyu turned over the bodies of the little boss Zhang He and the archer Li Han, and found a small money bag on Li Han's body, with a cushion of about five or six taels, and Zhang He's was a lot richer, and found a big money bag with gold and silver added up to more than 30 bright, and he was wearing a sapphire ring on his hand.

It is also the thief who has the habit of carrying money with him, so he can have so many seizures. After all, in a den of bandits and thieves like Heifeizhai, how can there be any good people, and which thief dares to leave all his property and wealth in the den of thieves.

Next, he put away Zhang He's waist knife and Li Han's bow and arrow, and gave up cleaning the booty, and devoted all his energy to dealing with the remaining bandits in the valley.

Soon, under the warning of the gong, and the chaotic and noisy shouts in the valley, almost a quarter of an hour later, more than two dozen thieves rushed out of the valley, led by a fierce man with red hair and a big knife with a ghost head. The red-haired villain is none other than the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, the three-headed leader of the Black Wind Village.

saw the bodies of Zhang He and Li Han under the watchtower, but the murderer was nowhere to be found.

Liu Tang couldn't help but be furious, it has always been their Black Wind Village that kills people and sets fire to them, and they want to beat geese every day but are pecked in the eyes by geese. There are really people who are not afraid of death and dare to go to their Black Wind Village to make trouble.

"Search, search for me, you must find the murderer for me!"

So more than two dozen people, led by a few small leaders, began to search for the murderer.

"Whoosh!"

"Ahh

Suddenly, with the sharp sound of breaking the air, the bandit leader led by the search team to the south screamed, and there was already an arrow in his throat that was still vibrating with the tail of the arrow, and his eyes were wide open, one hand grabbed the arrow, and the other hand was like a dying fish, and he swung desperately a few times, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The remaining three minions, seeing that the leader was killed by a cold arrow in front of him, were terrified, how dare they continue to search, and fled in the direction of the valley.

Seeing that someone had run away, there was also a commotion among the other bandits, and the timid bandits not only stopped searching forward, but began to retreat little by little.

The murderer has not been found, and the leader of his subordinates has died again, and the other minions still look like pus.

Liu Tang was really angry, the other party actually dared to openly provoke in front of his red-haired ghost, and when he saw the waste appearance of his subordinates, he was even more furious, the ghost head knife in his hand flashed coldly, the head flew up, and a blood spurted out.

With a single sword, he executed one of the thieves who fled first, and the other minions were immediately suppressed.

"Humph!"

"Whoever dares to escape without permission will end up with this!" The red-haired ghost Liu Tang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he snorted coldly.

Next, under Liu Tang's command, the bandits were divided into five groups as a group of five under the leadership of a small leader who was at least a small leader of the Tongli Realm, and each group used the table and door panel as a shield in front. In this way, under the supervision of the bandit leader, with the addition of a shield, the threat of cold arrows was greatly reduced, and the speed of the bandits' search suddenly increased a lot.

………………

Li Mingyu hid sixty or seventy meters away, among the barren grass and trees more than one person tall on the side of the road, watching the bandits carry the wooden planks and tables, carefully searching in his direction little by little.

couldn't help frowning, knowing that it was troublesome, and if he wanted to sneak attack with cold arrows in the future, it would only play a harassing role, and it would be difficult to pose any threat to this group of bandits.

Li Mingyu is not a sharpshooter, and his understanding of asking for bows and arrows is only a few times when he hunts with his father, and he tries to shoot a few arrows under the guidance of knight guards. can have today's quasi-head because he is a martial artist, and his control of the body is far beyond ordinary people.

But even so, he has only been trained for a year or two, and at the level of an ordinary archer, it is difficult to pose any threat to the bandits hiding behind under the cover of a shield.

Unwilling, he still tried to draw his bow and arrows in a row, and threw them more than a dozen times in a row, but he was unexpectedly blocked by the bandits with a rudimentary wooden shield. Only one or two bandits were too unlucky to accidentally miss the arm, leg and foot and suffer a slight injury.

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang didn't have a wooden shield, but the bow and arrow in Li Mingyu's hand was just an ordinary standard bow and arrow with three fighting powers, which was okay to deal with ordinary people and ordinary martial artists, and against a master like Liu Tang, he was easily knocked away one by one.

More than a dozen arrows were shot down, but no results were achieved, not to mention, Li Mingyu exposed himself instead.

The two archers hid behind a wooden shield and constantly released arrows, which were used as fire suppression to attract his attention. And the other three groups of more than a dozen bandits, holding wooden planks, quickly pounced under the leadership of Liu Tang.

"Damn! These bandits are really tough. Li Mingyu scolded secretly, knowing that he couldn't do anything, if he didn't leave quickly, he would be surrounded by the thieves of Black Wind Mountain, the wooden shield spearmen, there were archers who put cold arrows next to him, and there was also a fierce Liu Tang next to him, I was afraid that it would be too late to escape.

Therefore, he no longer cared about the tactics he had learned in the military book before, and he fought and retreated, and as soon as he turned around, he ran desperately in the direction of Qinghe Mansion!

Li Mingyu ran out a few hundred meters away in one go, but the bandits of Black Wind Village didn't want to let go of his bold and provocative enemy so simply. When the thieves saw him fleeing, their morale soared, and they didn't need Liu Tang to persecute him, they threw the heavy wooden shield, and chased after him with a scream, the thieves were too close, and the red-haired ghost Liu Tang has always been very energetic.

He didn't dare to play any reflexive strikes, for fear that he would be accidentally dragged by the bandits and trap himself, so he had to continue running, and then it became a long-distance running competition between him and the bandits.

So you kept chasing me like this, and then Li Mingyu didn't bother to look back, and ran down with a breath of stuffiness, until he couldn't run anymore, so he stopped like he stepped on the brakes, panting like a cow, wheezing violently while looking back......

Li Mingyu looked back, and found no trace of the bandits, he should have thrown them off, his tense emotions relaxed a lot, and he sat on the ground and said to himself: "I shot a bandit just now, but I didn't cut off the head, and a reward was wasted." ”

However, after this lesson, he also found that unlike the small grass bandits he had encountered before who were accustomed to fighting alone with their qi and blood, this bandit in the Black Wind Village had obviously received simple military training. Although the courage to fight a battle is not high, it is still good to cooperate when someone is commanding.

Even if he stretched out his hand, he could only turn around and flee when he encountered the siege of such an organized army, although this black wind was not an army, but he was obviously taught by people who understood military affairs, and his training was relatively well-trained.

"It seems that if you want to deal with this Black Wind Village, you still have a long-term plan, and you can't act rashly without making any preparations like this time, and as a result, you didn't make much money, if you didn't run fast enough, you might even be folded there." Li Mingyu said secretly.

Sure enough, Heifeng Village was able to gain a long-term foothold in Qinghe Mansion without being wiped out by the government and the warriors, and it still has a certain ability.

………………

At the foot of Black Cliff Mountain, outside the Black Wind Valley.

At this time, the bandits also returned one after another, and they were complaining about the three masters.

"Three-headed, that kid is running too fast, and the brothers can't catch up!"

"yes, Thunder Boss is so right!"

"It's not that we didn't chase seriously, but we really can't catch up!"

"I've lost one of my shoes!"

"That kid has so many things on his back and is running so fast, he is simply not human!"

…………

"Okay, don't make any noise with me!" the red-haired ghost Liu Tang shouted, impatiently beating the quarrel and prevarication of the bandits under him.

He thought for a while and said: "This kid is so bold that he dares to come to our Black Wind Village, killing people and provoking, it is absolutely impossible to let go, otherwise where is the majesty of our Black Wind Village."

"Little Six, Little Seven, when the two of you pulled the sheep, you showed up little and had a raw face, sneak into Qinghe Mansion City to inquire, what kind of background this kid is. "Said to the two young brothers who looked alike, both thin and withered.

"Yes, three chiefs!" the two men looked at each other, then bowed in response.

Liu Tang nodded and was very satisfied with the attitude of the two, he continued: "There is still a period of time in the future, the brothers must be more vigilant, with the arrogance of this kid, I estimate that although he escaped this time, he will not be reconciled, but he will definitely come to sneak attack again." “

"No way, that kid has that guts!"

"yes, he's stupid!"

"What do you know, the three leaders said that the other party would come, and they would definitely come!"

…………

"Okay, it's all noisy again!" said the red-haired ghost Liu Tang. Seeing the mess under his subordinates, looking like a rabble, he also had a headache and sighed secretly. Before he fell into the grass, he was the commander of the county soldiers of Youzhou and Lingwu County, and although the team of 100 county soldiers under his command could not be compared with the elite troops in the state, they could be regarded as a well-trained regular army, where were these bandits even if he strengthened his training, he could not change the fact that they were a rabble.

Counting on these wastes, it is estimated that the kid who wants to make trouble will choke enough, and he will have to do it himself when the time comes.

Liu Tang also regretted it very much in his heart, if he knew that kid could run so much, he would first regret that the valley had ridden out his war horse Qingluo, how could that kid run no matter how he could run, he could still run over the horse. But it's useless to talk about it now, it's too late.

…………

Qinghe Mansion, the Yamen of the Fucheng Inspection Division.

Yamen side hall

Directly above the desk, sat an old man dressed as a scribe. At this time, the old man held a booklet in his hand, shook his head, looked like he was carefully reviewing, and did not look at the young man who was bowing and waiting below.

It wasn't until almost half an hour later that a soldier in a black uniform walked in quickly and said to the scribe: "My lord, after careful inspection by his subordinates, the five heads are all bandits from the Black Wind Village, and they are definitely not the ones who killed the good people with their heads.

"Oh, that's it, are you sure it's true?" After a while, the old man raised his head lightly as if he was hearing, and said lightly in a tone that was neither yin nor yang. ”

"It's true," the soldier affirmed.

"Okay, you bring this, Eh...... Li Shaoxia, go to the treasury to get a hundred taels of silver and an iron sword, okay, so be it!" waved his hand impatiently, as if dealing with soldiers and martial artists would insult his identity.

The young man who bowed down and waited below was none other than Li Mingyu.

This old man is just an ordinary scribe of the inspection department, the inspection of the county inspection department is only the eighth grade, and the scriveners under the inspection are even more unqualified officials who do not even have a grade.

But the other party's shelf was bigger than the county guard from Sanpin, and Li Mingyu was hung there by the other party as soon as he came in. He reluctantly endured the arrogant attitude of the other party, after all, people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads.

But now this dog official actually wants to deduct even the bounty he fought for, and even deducted more than half, only taking out a mere hundred taels of silver, not even half of his bounty, and actually putting on a face of I give you charity, which is really unbearable. As for the iron sword, it is only worth three coins to one tael of silver, and it is even more insulting, I only heard that the sword is given to heroes, how can there be such a garbage as an iron sword to reward the warriors who eliminate harm for the county government.

"Sir, for the safety of the people of Qinghe Mansion, I risked my life to sneak into Heifeng Mountain to spy on the bandits, and brought back the details of the bandits in Heifeng Village and five heads of bandits, including one head of the bandit leader, four heads of minions, a standard longbow, and a waist knife. According to the government's bounty rules, the bounty for the heads of the five bandits alone is one hundred and eighty taels of silver, plus two trophies of the military bow and waist knife, the bounty is at least two hundred taels of silver, not to mention that I also brought back important information about the bandits in Heifeng Village. Instead of rewarding great merit, but deducting the bounty that the warrior exchanged for his life, is this what you mean, or what the court means?"

"Oh, it's quite talkative, how can you be a reader?"

"I've been reading for a few years, and I don't have a reputation in my body, so I'm not a scholar!" Li Mingyu arched his hand casually, in his opinion, this old man was just a treacherous and greedy servant who called Mr. ”

"I'm not a reader......!"

The old man suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Presumptuous, the law of the country has its own official decision, in fact, you, a grass warrior, are qualified to criticize casually, come and pull this guy who despises the law out for me, and hit the thirty boards first, so that this madman also knows what is the prestige of the government." ”

I watched as a dozen soldiers with knives and guns barged in from the outside and surrounded themselves. Li Mingyu didn't expect this scribe to be so wanton and bold, and he was about to torture himself when he suddenly turned his face, and subconsciously wanted to resist and kill him.

At this time, the sword was tense, but the old man was not nervous at all, looked at Li Mingyu and said with a smile: "What a boy, relying on his own courage, he still wants to resist the national law." ”

………………

Seeing that Li Mingyu gave up resistance, he smiled coldly and said, "Even if you are still a little smart, give me a fork out and fight!"

Thirty boards, seeing that Li Mingyu offended the scribes, the soldiers naturally would not be polite, and they were all fighting to the death.

When the thirty boards came down, the position of the buttocks was already blurred with flesh and blood, and he almost fainted, this was because he was a martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm, and if he was an ordinary person, the thirty boards came down, and he was beaten to death.

Seeing that Li Mingyu was sweating profusely in pain, he didn't say a word with his teeth tightly, and stared at himself fiercely with hateful eyes. The old man smiled faintly, and he didn't care at all.

"Yes, there is still a bit of backbone, but the brain is not bright enough, you have been reading books in the dog stomach for a few years?

Boy, don't you want to reason with me and talk about the laws of the imperial court? Then I'll tell you about it, you said that the head of the thief and the broken bow and a broken knife are worth two hundred taels, and it is really worth two hundred taels.

You said that you brought the information of the bandits of the Black Wind Village, so you are really the information of the Black Wind Village? I also said that you are the bandits of the Black Wind Village who infiltrated the city!

Remember, boy, what you say about the government law doesn't count, what I say is what. Boy, count you lucky, old man, my heart has softened when I am old, otherwise according to my previous temper, I would not be too lazy to beat you, and I will directly give you a charge of killing good people and risking merit, and send you to death row to die.

This thirty boards can be regarded as a lesson for you, don't think that you can do a little martial arts to be great, just want to fight against the official government and the king's law, let your people be like you, and there are also official mansions like furnaces. ”

Then the other party waved his hand, and the soldiers swarmed up and threw Li Mingyu outside the inspection department.

………………

North of the city, the residence of the small courtyard.

Li Mingyu grinned and applied healing medicine to the wound, looking very calm, but he hated the old scribe to the extreme. I thought to myself, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, old thing, you are relying on a little power to bully me today, and I will come to you soon to ask you for this field when my martial arts are high."

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Li Mingyu has suffered such a big loss in more than ten years of life, needless to say, he has the identity of the prince when he was in the Tang Dynasty, and he has always been above 10,000 people under one person. Everyone was cautiously respectful to each other, and no one dared to be presumptuous with him.

And after the crossing, although the identity of the homeless beggar was a little miserable at the beginning, but with caution, boldness and a little luck, this period of time has also been a mixed bag, only he is cheap, and few others can bully him.

But it seems that it has been relatively smooth because of this, so he has been careless and presumptuous in his affairs recently.

For example, without making any preparations, it would be reckless to go to Heifeng Mountain to suppress bandits alone, and this time it was another time to go to the inspection yamen to receive a bounty.

At that time, the scribe's attitude towards him was too arrogant and mean, and he even wantonly withheld the bounty of his bandits. Li Mingyu had a conflict with the other party on impulse at that time, and now he thinks about it at that time, he was too careless and impulsive, no matter how resentful and dissatisfied he was with the scribe, he had to endure and endure it on other people's territory at that time, as long as he was alive, there would always be a chance to find a place in the future.

And the old scribe bullied him like this, because he was young, and secondly, he was a loose cultivator and had no background. Bullying, what about deducting his bounty, what people bully is that he has no background, his strength is weak, plus he is young, and his martial arts are not particularly high, if he is a master of breath, he will not dare to be so presumptuous when he kills the old scribe.

Otherwise, the master was angry and blood splashed five steps, and then he really chopped him with a sword, not to mention the soldiers of the Inspection Division, even the county soldiers and the people of the six doors might not be able to really stop him from escaping from the city.

In the final analysis, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the government, everything needs to speak with strength.

Because of this, this is also the reason why he was very sure at that time, killed the old scribe who bullied him with a sword, and even gritted his teeth and endured it even when he was out of the inspection department.

After all, with his current strength in the early stage of the Qi and Blood Realm, even if he killed the dog scribe, or even killed the inspection mansion, he couldn't deal with the next besieging county army, the six gates, and even the masters of the various sects in the city, and it was impossible to kill the Qinghe County Mansion City.

On the contrary, the old scribe is the same, even if he sneered at him on the surface, wantonly withheld his bounty, and bullied him, he still had some scruples in his heart, and he was afraid that Li Mingyu would really die with him after he had no way to live. Otherwise, I really thought that this old thing had relented and left him a way to live. The hands of ugly officials like the other party are already covered with the blood and tears of the people, and even their hearts are black, how can they have a conscience to find out. It's not that he is afraid that he will really be forced to a dead end, and how can he let Li Mingyu go if he fights to the death regardless of it.

After all, the reason why this old guy wants to deal with him is also for money, for profit, and he doesn't want to really fight with him.

At this time, Li Mingyu also faintly reacted, this old official dealt with him not only because of the one or two hundred taels of silver, but the other party may not be able to see this money in terms of the value of the other party who has been a Xu official for so many years.

The other party should have taken a fancy to his intelligence about spying on Heifeng Village, the information of Heifeng Village was tortured by Li Mingyu from Liu Gazi's mouth, this Liu Ga's grandson has no ability, but he loves to inquire and is very well-informed. From the other party's mouth, Li Mingyu has roughly figured out the internal structure and defense situation of Heifeng Village, how many people there are, and what strength they are.

He didn't think about it so much before, but because he thought the 200 taels bounty was too little, he handed over this information by the way, wanting to get more bonuses, but he didn't expect to cause trouble for himself. In this way, it seems that the value of this information is much more important than he thought before, otherwise the old official would not have torn off the skin or even set up a trap to covet this credit.

That's right, it's a trap, Li Mingyu thinks about it now, the other party was deliberately arrogant from the beginning, and even wantonly deducted his own bonus, just to provoke him, so as to find an excuse to condemn him for contempt of the government, and swallow the credit he brought alone. Even if he endured it at that time and directly accepted the humiliation of the 100 taels of silver and the iron sword, the old thing would probably find other excuses to deal with him next.

Li Mingyu is still too young, and he was easily tricked by that old thing, and even the back hand was left useless, no wonder he looked so proud when he finally drove him away.
