The moon is in the sky, and the wilderness is in the wilderness.

At the foot of the Great Stone Mountain, there was silence, just like countless nights in the past.

There are bandits in Dashishan, which is not too much of a secret in the north of Dongxiang County, but it has not been exterminated.

The reason is that these bandits are not fixed, and most of the local villagers are involved, and the county government can't arrest all the people in this area.

In the final analysis, the people are too poor, and once they can't live anymore, they can only stop the caravan and ask for money.

Although most of the thieves here are played by the common people, there are also real professional thieves in Dashishan, and Li Er Mazi is the largest one.

It's just that they are hidden among the people, although they have more than a dozen murders on their hands, and the government is helpless against them.

The reason why Chen Xiaoting was able to know so clearly was completely because he asked Yicheng to find out.

This postman guards the post station, and the merchants come and go from the south to the north constantly, and after dealing with the merchants for a long time, he also knows the ideas on the business road.

Hiding in the woods, the cold wind blows non-stop, cutting people's faces like knives.

Although it is early spring, in a bitter cold place like Yongxi, the temperature is still very low, and the conditions are much more difficult than in the south.

At this time, I only heard Zhao Ying scolding: "Damn, those bastards and difficult errands in the post station are all assigned to us, and they hide in the post station and sleep comfortably!" ”

It's just a matter of letting them suppress the thieves, but they are still in such a hurry that they don't let people sleep at night...... Thinking of this, Zhao Ying felt angry.

Who knew that Wang Ping'an said: "What are you complaining about? Adults are not blowing the wind and freezing with us! ”

Chen Xiaoting was thinking about his plan, and when he heard the two of them talking, he immediately scolded in a low voice: "You two shut up, if you quarrel again, get back to me!" ”

Chen Xiaoting didn't just say this to Zhao Ying and the others, he just wanted everyone to shut up, otherwise it would be in vain tonight.

It was also at this time that someone outside the forest touched me, and before he got close, there were two "gurgling" sounds.

"It's Wu Jun back!" Chen Xiaoting said in a low voice.

He sent Wu Jun to inquire about the news, and now Chen Xiaoting only hopes to bring back good news.

Remembering that when Fang Cai was sent on an errand, Wu Jun and the newcomer Yun Qingfeng also had a dispute, and both of them had thoughts about this first achievement.

This Yun Qingfeng Chen Xiaoting also has a little understanding, this person's grandfather was originally a general banner, but because of the disagreement with the hundred households at that time, his father's matter of filling the vacancy of the small flag was delayed again and again.

Until Yun Qingfeng's father died of illness, he didn't wait for the opportunity to fill the vacancy of the little flag officer, and now Yun Qingfeng has no such possibility.

So Chen Xiaoting can understand Yun Qingfeng's thoughts, but this doesn't mean that he has to take care of the other party.

The so-called intimacy is different, Wu Jun has been saddle for him in the past few months, so he naturally favors him more.

Yun Qingfeng wants to be on the top, but he can't just ask for a few words to get the opportunity to perform, because until now Chen Xiaoting still doesn't know his ability.

Chen Xiaoting thought of this, Wu Jun had already come to him, and just said in a low voice: "My lord, what Yicheng said is really good, this group of thieves is on the hill over there!" ”

Chen Xiaoting nodded and asked, "How many people are on the other side, and is the defense tight?" What are the details? ”

Wu Jun had a good idea of this, so he said: "Lord Hui, I just took a closer look below, the number of the other party is less than twenty, and now most of them are still drinking, only three people are letting off steam, and the subordinates are still staring at the front!" ”

Wu Jun was very excited when he said, only to hear him ask, "My lord, do you want to do it?" ”

Hu Weide said that he would send him back tonight, but Chen Xiaoting actually had no choice, and Hu Weide couldn't afford to offend him.

Chen Xiaoting can not buy the accounts of other civil officials, but Hu Weide is sent by the emperor, and the difference is big.

Holding the handle of the knife in one hand, Chen Xiaoting said in a deep voice: "Of course you have to do it, I have worked hard for you tonight, and your credit will be reported to the hundred households and thousands of households!" ”

This was said before, Wu Jun was naturally overjoyed, and he could be regarded as using his life to plan his future.

Hearing this, Zhao Yingyu Youping and the others were a little envious, and they regretted that they didn't insist on it before, and they were only worried about the danger of this task.

After saying this, Chen Xiaoting whispered to everyone: "Everyone obeys the order...... Stealth forward, pull out these thieves tonight! ”

At this time, it was already deep, so Chen Xiaoting led his men to touch forward, and everyone tried to reduce the sound made when they were marching.

After crossing the hill under the leadership of Wu Jun, he saw a thatched house in the clearing outside the forest, which was obviously built by these thieves to rest when he came.

After Wu Jun summoned his subordinates to ask about the situation, he reported to Chen Xiaoting: "My lord, there is one on the stone in front of the house of the three people who let out the wind, one in the forest behind the house, and one is asleep in the haystack on the west side of the house!" ”

Hearing these circumstances, Chen Xiaoting was more relieved, although these people are known as bandits, but this is only relative to those homeless people.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoting also understood why Yi Cheng didn't report to the county government to exterminate them since he knew about these people's lair.

Because only if these bandits existed, his post station would be of value to the merchants, otherwise who would come to stay.

"Yu Youping, Xiao Minzhong, Zheng Ding!"

Chen Xiaoting shouted three names in a row, and these three people quickly came to him, and Chen Xiaoting ordered them to deal with the three people who released the wind.

When Yu Youping and the three of them left with their subordinates, Chen Xiaoting said again: "The rest of the people, let your subordinates prepare bows and arrows!" ”

Looking at the fire lit up in the grass house, and the faint laughter and scolding from inside, a sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Xiaoting's mouth.

He was also very unhappy when he came out to do things at night, but he couldn't get angry with Hu Weide, so he could only use these people.

At the other end of the forest, the old kiln held the knife in his hand, looked at the direction of the grass house and cursed secretly.

When he grabbed the fat sheep today, he didn't make a lot of efforts, but now he was sent outside to let off steam, and he didn't even have to drink.

"Bastard, don't you dare to bully Lao Tzu like this just because Lao Tzu is later, let's take a look at Lao Tzu!" The old kiln said viciously.

The reason why Lao Yaozi is called Lao Yaozi, as the name suggests, is because he likes the land of smoke and willows, and every time he divides the money, he smashes it into the green building in the city.

At this time, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and as soon as he grasped the knife, he saw the book in front of him, and there was a muffled "bang".

But it was also his knife that startled the messenger who had already touched a few meters in front of him, and let out a low cry of "ho".

The old kiln quickly pulled out the knife, made a defensive gesture and scolded: "Who is there?" ”

Although there could be no one else here, the old kiln was still very cautious, otherwise he would not have lived for so many years.

This was the first time Zheng Ding had such a mission, and things did not go so smoothly, so he ordered in a hurry: "Kill him!" ”

So Yu Youping and his subordinates killed from four directions, and the four knives slashed towards the old kiln from different directions, making the old Jianghu feel dead for a while.

The old kiln slashed out two knives indiscriminately, and suddenly the sound of Jin Ge's exchange of blows sounded, although he blocked the two knives that killed him, but the remaining two knives still slashed the front of the old kiln's abdomen and shoulder.

Under the pain, the old kiln let out a miserable scream of "ah".

Zheng Ding panicked for a moment, and ordered sharply: "Kill him!" ”
