The sound of the late night traveled far away, and in the middle of the dark night, the firelight was the signal.

In addition to the craftsmen, there are also stewards sent by the main family, and naturally there are guards.

When Liu Lao Wu shouted for the first time, he had already woken up the guards and stewards over there.

The material storage area on the riverbank is the storage place for all the materials for the construction of the ferry......

So, soon, the guards over there began to gather in this direction.

Not a foot soldier, but a cavalryman.

Nearly thirty or fifty horsemen, in such a late night, the sound of horses' hooves is neat, and there is a feeling that a large army is attacking.

"Array! They're going to run ......."

It is estimated that it was the galloping of the war horses that gave these thieves a sense of urgency, and they became more and more anxious to make a move.

And the boats in Luoshui should not have a chance to come over. Who would have thought that this group of materials would be guarded and could shoot people in the dark.

Liu Lao Wu asked the brothers to quickly get out of the battle and form an army formation surrounded by three and one missing.

As long as Luoshui's connection can't be reached, Luoshui in winter doesn't have to worry about the thief escaping.

Wait for the guards of the artisan district to arrive, and don't worry about taking down the thieves.

Liu Lao Wu mainly wanted to take a few live ......

The battle with the thief just now was really short, and it was to create an opportunity to shoot the captain.

However, Liu Lao Wu looked at it, and nearly half of them were injured, and there were even seriously injured people.

But the brothers are holding on......

The strong crossbow was launched in waves, compressing the space of the thieves little by little, but there was no intention of killing them all.

The brothers knew that they couldn't kill all these thieves, they had to stay alive. Therefore, this period is not as intense as it was at the beginning.

Because, the sound of the war horse is getting closer and closer.

It's all a construction site, it's not far away, there is already a ready-made passage for daily transportation of wood, and with the firelight shining here, the cavalry comes quickly.

Liu Lao Wu and his entourage insisted for a while, and thirty or fifty horsemen had already surrounded them, and the rows of strong crossbows were fired at non-critical parts, and they all knew that they needed to stay alive.

"The time has come to be faithful to the Lord!"

After shouting, the thieves stabbed directly at themselves one by one······

"It's a dead man!"

Liu Lao Wu didn't care about the danger at this time, so he threw away his waist knife and rushed over, thinking that he could stop a ······ It's a pity that it's a little late to come to my senses.

At this time, a lot of craftsmen came over and began to draw water from Luoshui to extinguish the fire, and Liu Laowu checked one by one······ They're all dead.

There were also boats on the site, and several boats also went down the river to chase the boats that were being connected······

Yin Shi had just arrived, and Xu Yi's mansion had just woken up, and there were voices in the whole mansion.

This time is about the time when the city gate has just opened, but someone in Xu Mansion is knocking on the door: "General, general... Uncle Qing··· Uncle Qing ······"

"You guys are ······"

"Uncle Qing, there were thieves attacking the ferry last night."

The voice from the side of the mansion was heard by everyone who was exercising in the martial arts arena.

"Attack on the ferry? That ······"

"Uncle Qing, save people first, and we'll talk about the rest later!"

Xu Yi had already arrived in the front yard, looking at the fifteen guards, most of whom were injured, and they were supporting each other one by one.

Xu Yi checked them one by one to clarify their respective injuries.

Liu Lao Wu wanted to open his mouth several times, but was stopped by Xu Yi's gloomy face. To be honest, the general didn't mention the materials of the ferry at this time, didn't say anything about their responsibilities, and only thought about treating the injuries first, Liu Lao Wu was moved, and felt more and more that he was out of responsibility.

Although there are all kinds of guys to treat the wounded, they are not as always prepared as they are on the battlefield, and they still need to be prepared.

Xu Yi looked at them one by one, the most serious was that he was pierced through the thigh by a sword, most of them were skin injuries, but he didn't need to do it himself, Ling Fengzi and the others could deal with it.

Liu Lao Wu was also injured, only his shoulder was scratched······

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"The Lord is a dead man. Probably ugly, the thief should have touched the shore from Luoshui and set the wood on fire. ”

"We waited for the siege of the army array, waiting for support, but unexpectedly, Luoshui had a leading ship, and we had to rush to kill. When the support arrived, all the thieves committed suicide, and the little one couldn't stop it, and not a single one was left alive······"

Several lightly injured guards talked about the situation at the time, and Xu Yi also had a general understanding.

At this juncture, the first object of suspicion should definitely think about Li Song, but Xu Yi always felt that something was wrong.

The entire Dongdu knew that the contradiction between himself and Li Song had intensified, and if Li Song was not stupid, he would never use such indiscriminate means to do this at this time.

These days, Xu Yi has been thinking that since he visited Li Song as a scoundrel, the rumors in the market and the official face have been a little out of control.

It is not denied that Xu Yi felt very good at the beginning, and he also asked Wuhou to do something, but later Xu Yi felt that he was a little tricky, but the rumors intensified, and it seemed that there were other forces behind the development of the incident.

Xu Yi even doubted the Cui family, which is why Xu Yi no longer goes to the Cui Mansion to communicate progress these days.

"Have you counted the burnt wood? Is it ours or is it from the ferry? ”

"Back to the general, there is not much damaged wood on the other side of the ferry. Our materials are concentrated around the wooden houses of the stronghold······"

If it was really the Cui family pushing behind it, it seems a bit too much to say that the ferry was attacked. After all, the Cui family knows the order in which materials are stored.

Who will it be? Xu Yi was a little stunned, it seemed that he had really become the head of the gun, but he couldn't find where the person who made the gun was. It really doesn't feel very comfortable.

"What about the thieves?"

"They are all dead, and they were taken to Henan Mansion by the guards of the construction site to report to the official!"

The spread was very fast, and by the time it came, it had already spread on the official faces of the entire Eastern Capital. Thirteen dead men attacked the ferry, and in the case of a siege, they all died on their own.

The construction site guards left the thief in Henan Mansion, and the Henan Mansion ordered the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to lead the investigation of the case······

Li Zhen knelt in Li Song's study at this time, and his face was fanned into a pig's face: "Uncle, I really didn't get involved." I just have a little deal with Lu San at the dock, how can there be any dead soldiers! ”

"Uncle, maybe this is what they directed and acted themselves, and they are trying their best to ruin their uncle's reputation and drive him out of the Eastern Capital!"

Li Song didn't do this, and after hearing the report, he slipped Li Zhenti to his house and beat him as soon as possible.

He knew that his nephew's urine was beaten up like no one, and he wouldn't lie anymore at this time.

If he really sent someone, he would have cried and shouted repentance a long time ago, so that he could protect him.

Obviously, this should not be related to the nephew. Who will it be? Could it be that it is really directed and acted by the Xu family boy?

It doesn't seem to be possible. Xu Yi has been around for a few years, and the so-called manpower, that is, those Taoist priests in Gongming Palace, if he wants to say that he has dead soldiers, Li Song doesn't believe it.

The Cui family? Help? Li Song thought so, but denied it from his heart. The Cui family's family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it can be said that these inherited gate lord clans hate this kind of practice the most.

It's a bit confusing.
