Chapter 169: Short Arrow

The bandits present and the officers and soldiers of the Jinling garrison were all frightened by the bloody scene at the scene, and this eunuch, who had been bullied by Jiang Dahai, became a murderous demon in their eyes.

Feng Bao stood up, wiped the blood on his hands a few times casually, and exhaled deeply.

Zhang Youqian said loudly, I really didn't see it, this guy is still a ruthless character, don't easily provoke him in the future.

The situation on the ground suddenly reversed, and we regained the initiative.

I looked around and said, "Stealing tribute and silver, that's the crime of the Nine Clans." All of you here are all my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, you all have families, wives and children, and you must not be unclear about the consequences, right?

These people were originally Jiang Dahai's subordinates, and at Jiang's instigation, they were fascinated by hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but now that Jiang Dahai died, they felt the seriousness of the matter and knelt down and begged for mercy.

Master Su, we are not to blame for this, we were forced by Jiang Dahai, if we don't agree, he will want our lives.

The rest of the people chimed in, which also put me at ease.

Originally, I was worried that as soon as Jiang Dahai died, they would die and fight with us, although it was very simple to kill these people, but they were all Jinling garrisons, and the imperial court army, if they were all dead, they would not be able to explain to the imperial court.

Now that they have come to their senses, they are trying their best to get rid of Jiang Dahai. I hesitated a little and said, what about these bandits?

A veteran said, don't worry about Lord Su, we will deal with these people. As he spoke, he made a gesture, and immediately several officers and soldiers responded and began to clean the entire cottage.

The bandits in the cottage, as soon as the owner of the village died, the trees fell and scattered, those who died, those who fled, those who did not have time to escape, under the liquidation of the officers and soldiers, lost their lives.

After a stick of incense, everyone gathered and carried the silver taels and silk silk back to the ship.

When Jiang Dahai rioted, a general surnamed Lu refused to submit, and as a result, he was tied to the ship, and now the goods have been recovered, Jiang Dahai is dead, according to the rules, he took Jiang Dahai's place as a substitute.

However, this kind of thing happened in the Jinling garrison, and it was not very glorious after all, and even the six doors and the weaving bureau that we assisted in escorting felt disgraceful.

So after discussion, it was written in an official document sent to Jinling that Jiang Dahai died of smallpox on the way. This disease is extremely contagious, so in order not to affect the escort mission, we incinerated him on the spot and reported to the Jinling garrison that he died in the line of duty.

All the more than ten people who knew about the matter endorsed the official document in case anyone repented and leaked the matter in the future.

Now that the war situation in the southeast is unstable, the military is guarding and stealing on the way to escort the tribute silver, if this kind of thing spreads, I am afraid it will cause an earthquake in the southeast military.

The ship continued north.

Lin Hongyi looked at me with a smile, how do you want to thank me?

I said that everything is under my control, and it has not changed because of your arrival, so why thank you?

Lin Hongyi said that in Jinling, I gave up 500,000 taels of silver to help you, and counting this time, my aunt and grandmother have lost 800,000 taels.

I said that I dared you to follow us all the way, because I fell in love with our tribute silver, and sure enough, the thief is not dead.

Lin Hongyi said disdainfully, I'm a thief, aren't you a thief?

Zhang Youqian said, Miss Lin has helped a lot this time, Su Yu is too picky in this guy, otherwise, in order to repay Miss Lin, how about I promise to each other?

Lin Hongyi sneered, is your family very rich?

If it was placed in the past, Zhang Youqian would definitely tell her that the master is the son of Zhang Million, the richest man in the capital, and he has matured a lot over the past year.

I said in my heart that if you are a poor bastard, then the emperor Lao Tzu will not be able to ask for food? However, although I thought in my heart, I didn't break it, but I looked at Zhang Youqian teasing her with a leisurely face.

Lin Hongyi snorted, I don't have any money, and I still want to hook up with me, it's shameless.

Zhang Youqian's face was a little embarrassed, I hurriedly helped him out of the siege, saying, don't bully the young man to be poor, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, maybe one day, he will become the son of the richest man?

Lin Hongyi pouted and said, just him, he doesn't have that temperament.

Zhang Youqian suddenly asked, do you like money very much?

Lin Hongyi nodded, and said money, who doesn't like it? Who can get along with money?

As he spoke, Lin Hongyi glanced at me and said, Of course, there is also someone who is a big fool, acting as a fortune boy, and giving away the 500,000 taels of silver he has received to others.

I said in my heart that this girl still has a memory of the 500,000 taels of silver, so I took out a cowhide book from my backpack and handed it to Lin Hongyi, saying that this is compensation.

Seeing this, Lin Hongyi said in surprise, Sancai Sword Spectrum! Sure enough, it was in your hands, and on the day of Yangzhou, I suspected that I was taken away by you.

I said this is kind of compensating you.

Lin Hongyi cut it, this is clearly the return of the finished to Zhao, and the return of the object to the original owner.

This Sancai sword book, which claims to contain the secret of King Qi's treasure, was once a sensation in the rivers and lakes, but it was later proved to be a smoke bomb released by Hu Zongxian, coupled with the lack of real evidence, so it was regarded as a rumor and gradually faded away.

But Lin Hongyi didn't think so.

Twenty years ago, taking advantage of the emperor Zhu Runze to patrol the border in the north, the king of Qi, who was far away in Dezhou, played the banner of "Qingjun's side", raised troops to rebel, and within three days, attacked the area of Jinan, Cangzhou, and Tianjin, almost threatening the safety of the capital.

Emperor Zhu Runze of the Ming Dynasty was far away in Beidaihe and could not rush back to the capital in time, and the capital was in danger.

But just when he was about to attack the capital, the king of Qi died violently in the army, and the protector general Xiao Qianliang led 3,000 forbidden troops, the Jiumen Admiral Army and the Beijing-Tianjin garrison army to break the rebel army, and it took less than ten days to end this farce.

Subsequently, there was a legend circulating on the rivers and lakes, saying that the King of Qi worked hard for more than 20 years in order to rebel and amassed amazing wealth, which is the treasure of the King of Qi.

But for so many years, no one had ever really entered the treasure of King Qi.

The three-talent sword book in Lin Hongyi's hand is said to be related to the treasure of King Qi, and it is of little use to me now, so I will give her a favor.

Zhang Youqian asked, this treasure of King Qi can't be fake, right?

Lin Hongyi said, my master has always believed in the existence of the treasure of King Qi, and he has traveled through most of the Central Plains over the years, bent on finding out the whereabouts of King Qi's treasure.

As disciples of the Holy Thief Gate, we have never looked down on the Thief Immortal Gate, but Li Qingyi's crooked theory of feng shui luck is still relatively open in the search for dragons and caves.

Lin Hongyi said again, until two years ago, he wrote back, saying that he had found the treasure of King Qi and handed over this Sancai sword book to me. But since then, there has been no news of Shizun.

I suddenly remembered that two years ago, Six Doors organized a crackdown.

The six doors led by Lu Zhongyuan knocked on all the major sects one after another, and there was a lot of uproar in the rivers and lakes. It was also that time that the thief Li Qingyi disappeared, and the thief immortal gate fell.

Zhang Youqian took the opportunity to say, Miss Lin, why don't I crack these three swords with you, and I should help you.

Lin Hongyi said, it's okay to help, but the money in the treasure is mine. Zhang Youqian nodded, Zhong, that's it.

In the next few days, Lin Hongyi and Zhang Youqian were very busy, trying everything to crack the three-talent sword spectrum.

It's a pity that this sword book, fire-roasted and soaked, fried and fried tried one by one, and suffered inhuman abuse.

After General Lu Congjiang succeeded Jiang Dahai, he learned the lesson of Jiang Dahai, and stopped at the specified time and place in strict accordance with the regulations, and discussed major matters with me and Feng Bao.

Because it is an official ship, although we have encountered a lot of checks along the way, we are not too embarrassed.

These are all handled by Lu Congjiang, and Jinling Mansion has also given a certain amount of public relations fees, as for whether Lu Congjiang is greedy for ink from it, I don't bother to care.

It's Feng Bao, since he killed Jiang Dahai, the whole person seems to have changed, and he has become extremely gloomy, even the veterans of the garrison, when they saw him, they all turned sideways and hid, and no one dared to mock him anymore.

It was the end of October when I set off, and I drove for ten days in a row, but I didn't encounter any major events.

Entering the winter moon, the further north, the colder the weather, when we arrived at Linqing, at night, a thin layer of ice formed on the river, we only after sunrise, after the thin ice melted.

As a result, the journey was much slower, and there were only four or five hours of travel during the day, and by the time we reached Texas, the entire river was frozen.

The tribute silver must be transported to the capital before the end of winter, otherwise it will become a major accident.

After some deliberation, we decided to switch from water to land, first sending people to the capital to deliver the message, and then asking the Cao Gang to contact the trucks and hiring a few local boxers.

I heard that there are a lot of horses in Hebei, and they don't care about any tribute silver, as long as it is silver, they will go to grab it.

These boxers' martial arts skills are not necessarily high, but the emphasis is on making a wide range of friends, mixing in the surrounding area, and having them to lead the way or introduce them can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The old boxer introduced the online wharf and backstage forces from Texas to Cangzhou to Beijing, and reminded us of some etiquette to pay attention to.

Generally speaking, they do not rob official silver, rob official silver, military salaries, etc., but they are regarded as rebellion and are accused of exterminating the nine clans.

When everything was arranged, we rested at the White Horse Post outside the Texas Mansion.

Since entering the territory of Shandong, I vaguely feel as if I am being targeted, which is a very peculiar feeling.

It's like you're being watched.

When Xie Junfan said that someone was going to kill me, I was still scared and nervous for a few days, and I even had to try poison to drink water and eat vegetables, and I didn't have this feeling of being watched at that time.

However, after entering Shandong, this feeling became stronger and stronger.

I sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to sense the vitality between heaven and earth, since I realized the Great Thief, I often tried to do this, and with the improvement of the realm, my divine sense could expand to dozens of zhang away.

At this moment, there was a warning in my heart.

On an old elm tree more than a dozen feet away, someone was aiming here.

Sou!

A short arrow, through the window paper, shot in, and nailed into the head of my bed.
