When Xu Jingcheng rushed to the city of Haiyan County, he was shocked when he saw the city gate that had been bombarded by artillery: "It's too late!" He was about to lead his troops to rush in to stop the conflict from worsening, but he saw Xiao Yao and He Wu come out with men.

Xu Jingcheng naturally knew He Wu, and he also knew that the relationship between He Wu and the Salt Gang was extraordinary, but now he greeted Xiao Yao with a smile: What is going on? Didn't Xiao Yao come to trouble the Salt Gang?

"Xiaguan Haiyan County Commander He Wu, welcome Lord Taishou!"

"Xiao Yao, the infantry captain of the forward battalion of the Middle Route Army, has seen Lord Xu!"

"What the hell is going on!" Xu Jingcheng hurriedly asked.

"Lord Hui, a big event happened in Haiyan County today! The anti-thief Li Chujiu, who led the salt gang members he organized, dared to rebel and rebel! The thieves besieged the county government and occupied the county seat, and their subordinates struggled to resist for fear of accidents, at this critical juncture, Captain Xiao led his troops to help and assisted his subordinates to exterminate the Salt Gang and quell the rebellion! He Wuyi said solemnly.

"What? Is the Salt Gang a chaotic party? They rebelled? Xu Jingcheng was taken aback, aren't they a commercial dispute, how can they get involved in the rebellion!

"Yes, the Salt Gang has been rampant in Haiyan County for many years, and their wings are gradually growing, and their subordinates are aware of their conspiracy and want to strike first, but they are insidious and cunning, and there are many people, and recently there are 800 people brought by Steward Feng of Yinhai Commercial Bank, adding up to 2,000 troops, and their subordinates are weak and outnumbered, so they took the city, and moved the people outside the city into the city, sent people to the city wall to guard, and blocked the entrance to the sea, trying to fight against the imperial court!" He Wu painted the sound and color, and the voice was full of emotion, and it seemed to be true.

"Rebellion is no joke, is it true? Why did you still get Yinhai Commercial Bank involved? Xu Jingcheng began to panic, this thing was a bit beyond his expectations!

"It is true! Lord Xu knew that I had come to the East China Sea to train my troops, and when I first arrived in the waters near here, I happened to find that this group of salt gang thieves had blocked the sea and caused an incident, and they were ashamed to kill us and never returned! I decisively ordered extermination, and then pursued the remnants to Haiyan County, only to find that there was no one outside the city, and the people outside the city had been moved into the city, only then did I find that the situation was urgent! took advantage of their unstable foundation, decisively attacked the city, and then joined forces with Lord He to exterminate this group of chaotic parties in one fell swoop! Xiao Yao sang and cooperated with He Wu and said.

"Come on, bring that guy up!" After saying that, he escorted the captive big man up, "Tell Lord Xu what is the situation with your salt gang!" ”

"My lord, spare my life, I just acted on orders, I didn't know they were going to rebel! A few days ago, this Feng steward brought more than 800 people, and he was discussing something with the gang leader every day, but I only heard that they said that they wanted the army to come and go, and they said that they would organize the salt households and surround the county town into a fortress, and then the gang leader ordered us to block the estuary, saying that if we met officers and soldiers, we would sink them, and no one would be left! I'm not a thief, I'm just acting on orders, and my lord spares my life! Dahan knelt down and begged for mercy.

After some torture, Xiao Yao knew that this big man could only be regarded as a lower-level leader in the Yan Gang, and he only knew one thing but didn't know the other, so it was most appropriate to use him to tell Xu Jingcheng.

Xu Jingcheng was shocked when he heard this, of course he didn't believe that the Salt Gang was making a rebellion, and he also knew that this Feng Steward brought 800 people to help the Salt Gang deal with Xiao Yao, and the prince had also warned him not to meddle!

But now He Wu and Xiao Yao are determined that they are rebelling, and Li Chujiu and Feng Steward, who know the details of the inside story, are dead, and these little minions who only know superficial information are left, and there is no proof of death in this matter!

The worst thing is to drag Yinhai Commercial Bank in, and now the matter will be big! Yinhai Commercial Bank involves the prince, if this matter is taken advantage of by someone with a heart, there will definitely be a bloody storm on the Jinling side, and the pond fish will also be affected on the Wuxing County side!

"Lord He and Captain Xiao both said that the Salt Gang rebelled, and this matter will be investigated by the officials! I see that the gates of the city are broken, and the people are all right, right? Xu Jingcheng changed the subject.

"Thanks to Captain Xiao's decisive attack on the city and the elimination of the rebels, none of the people in the city were injured, and all the rebels have been taken, Li Chujiu and his comrades have also been punished, and we have also imprisoned the remaining minions, waiting for the adults to decide!" He Wu reported.

"That's good, that's good." Xu Jingcheng didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiao Yao saw Xu Jingcheng's embarrassment, and said: "Alas, but this Feng is in charge, I also have a relationship with him, and I don't believe that he will be a thief, I don't know if he was kidnapped and killed by the Salt Gang, it's really pitiful, when the time comes, Lord Xu must find out the truth!" ”

Hearing that Xiao Yao took the initiative to take out this Feng Steward, Xu Jingcheng really turned his worries into joy: "Yes, yes, this Feng Steward suddenly appeared in Haiyan County, there must be something strange, we must find out!" Be sure to find out! ”

"Haha, today these salt gangs gathered to make trouble and captured the county seat, we can exterminate them in time, and we haven't hurt a single person, it's really a great joy, isn't Lord He ready to put on a feast and reward us soldiers?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Good! Today, I will make Haiyan County the east, feast the three armies, and celebrate the whole city to celebrate the extermination of the salt gang and thieves! After speaking, He Wu immediately turned around and went out to arrange.

There were no outsiders, I saw Xu Jingcheng looking Xiao Yao up and down, and then nodded and smiled: "Thank you Shilang for raising your noble hand, if Shiro still bites this Feng Steward, and when the time comes, it will involve Yinhai Commercial Bank, or even His Royal Highness the Prince, then I, Wu Xing Taishou, will have a headache!" ”

"Shiro doesn't know what General Xu is talking about, and he doesn't know what this has to do with Yinhai Commercial Bank and His Royal Highness the Prince, I only know that it was the Salt Gang that made trouble today!" Xiao Yao pretended to be confused and said.

"It's still loading! Xiao Shilang is really powerful, we all underestimate you! Thunder shot, one hit and hit! People don't even have time to react! In fact, just now I was worried that you would make a big deal about it, and even His Royal Highness King Xing would use this matter to attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Xu Jingcheng continued.

"You also underestimate His Royal Highness the Prince, a little Steward Feng, a poor and remote Haiyan County, a salt gang that the emperor has never heard of, do you really think this matter will make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince embarrassed? This kind of trivial matter, His Royal Highness can explain it with a little more saliva, but it will make you, including me, very troublesome, so in order to make Lord Xu less troublesome, you can concentrate on preparing for the Northern Expedition, let's make this matter simpler! Xiao Yao stopped pretending.

"Do I really want to thank you again?"

"Of course, how did you deal with the robbery and smashing of the General Comptoir in your jurisdiction? If you had done it impartially and apprehended the murderer, this would not have happened! So this time I am repaying my grievances with virtue, Lord Xu, you owe me a favor! Oh no, it's two favors! And Zhang Dabao, that kid, stuffed such a second-generation official over, I haven't settled accounts with you yet! ”

After speaking, Xiao Yao went to find Zu Yuan on his own, leaving Xu Jingcheng to stand in front of the city gate with his soldiers and horses: Didn't you come out to meet me? I haven't even entered the city yet!
