Seeing that these people in the government were so ruthless, the merchants who were buying goods in the crude medicine shop hurriedly avoided and looked lively.

Li Nan slowly walked to the front of the store, looked at the two pinned arrowmen and asked, "Now you can tell me, who is the master of your family, right?" ”

Before the two wailing men could reply, a dozen or so people swarmed out of the shop, led by a young man of seventeen or eighteen.

This young man was wearing a white robe, and his appearance was also good, but his face was pale, and his ears were blackened with tears, which was obviously overindulgent.

Seeing that his servant was nailed to the door panel by a sharp arrow, the young man was furious, pointed at Li Nan and scolded: "Where did you come from to kill talents, even the successive magistrates didn't dare to provoke our Zhu family easily, you dare to hurt my servant with a little head, I really don't want to live!" ”

The people of Yanggu, who originally stayed here to watch the excitement, heard that the young man reported the name of the Zhu family, and suddenly became afraid in their hearts, and they had no intention of watching the excitement, and wanted to leave here quietly.

Hearing that it was the Zhu family, in fact, Li Nan was also a little jealous in his heart, after all, there were almost one or two thousand people who could fight in Zhujiazhuang, and there were less than two hundred people who could be used in his own hands, and the gap in the strength of the two sides was indeed larger.

Seeing Li Nan's hesitant look, the young man, who was originally worried about the other party's ruthlessness, smiled in his heart and said, "Hahaha, what's wrong, is it afraid?" Then quickly kneel down and kowtow to Zhu Biao to make amends, and then take out five hundred taels of silver for the injury medicine, even if I reluctantly let you go! ”

Originally, Li Nan was still thinking of finding a way to get the best of both worlds to resolve the matter, but he didn't expect this young man to say such words, and he suddenly couldn't suppress the fire in his heart, and waved his hand: "Take it all!" ”

After the words were spoken, he was afraid that these soldiers he bought would be killers in order to earn a reward for meritorious service, so he hurriedly added: "Don't kill!" ”

Although Zhujiazhuang, these Baojia Township soldiers, are often trained on weekdays, and they are also famous in the entire Yanggu County, but compared with the regular army sergeants under Li Nan, it is too much worse.

These township soldiers have not had much blood on their hands, and these box soldiers bought by Li Nan are not only veterans who have been on the battlefield, but also have few lives in their hands, whether in terms of experience or momentum, they have completely overwhelmed the other party, not to mention that the weapons of the two groups are also very different.

Before the people of Zhujiazhuang could rush out a few steps, the eight archers behind Li Nan began to release arrows, and then the soldiers who rushed in front danced with swords and swords, and the people who fell to the ground in an instant, of course, were all Zhujia's guards without exception.

Fortunately, Li Nan gave the last order, so these sergeants showed mercy, whether it was knives, guns or arrows, they all rushed towards their limbs, otherwise all the corpses on the ground would be dead now.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the onlookers found that all the fourteen guards and servants who rushed out of Zhujiazhuang were overturned, leaving only the white-robed young man standing alone at the door of the crude medicine shop.

Li Nan took the Wu family a few steps forward and said loudly to the people around: "Zhuo Di'er, the third concubine of the Ximen family, teamed up with the adulterer Zhu Biao to forcibly occupy this crude medicine shop. Today, Ximen Qing's wife Wu came to Yamen to report the case, and the head of the capital came to investigate the case, but he was obstructed by the murderers, and the rights and wrongs are all in the hearts of the people, and I will not say more. Come on, take Zhuo Di'er and the other villains back to the prison for trial! ”

Seeing that his plot was publicized, Zhu Biao scolded angrily: "Do you know who I am, provoke me Zhujiazhuang, my father and brother will definitely destroy you!" ”

Li Nan sneered, thinking that Lao Tzu didn't plan to live in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, let alone Zhujiazhuang, even if you were the son of Song Huizong, the uncle would not bird you.

Seeing that this kid was scolding endlessly, Li Nan said impatiently: "Arrest it!" ”

This Zhu Biao also knows a few marksmanship fists and kicks, and when he saw seven or eight sergeants surrounding him, he hurriedly picked up a long stick to resist, but the opponent was overwhelmed, and he was caught in three or two rounds.

Zhu Biao, who was kicked on the crook of his leg and knelt on the ground, raised his head and shouted unconvinced: "Bullying more and less, you are not a hero, do you dare to fight alone with me?" ”

"Hehehe......" Li Nan smiled: "I have beaten tigers, killed lewd monks and evil ways, whether you are a hero or a good man is free to be commented on, what does it have to do with you, a hairy child." ”

Zhu Biao was about to scold, but Zhang Hao, who had long seen him unpleasantly, immediately waved the sheathed steel knife and slapped it heavily on Zhu Biao's mouth.

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood mixed with several knocked out teeth was spit out by Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao, who was toothless, finally realized that the person in front of him was not afraid of Zhujiazhuang at all, and he would not give himself any face, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Li Nan ignored these prisoners, turned to Wu and said, "I will take these villains and Zhuo Di'er away, and the crude medicine shop will also be returned to the original owner, so if you have anything to do in the future, just look for me." ”

Wu squatted slightly, and thanked with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your great kindness and preservation of my family's property, the slave family is really grateful!" ”

Li Nanxu helped Wu up, and said with a warm smile: "Mrs. Ximen has praised falsely, protecting the property and safety of the people of Yanggu County is my responsibility as the head of the capital, and there is no need to say more about thanks." ”

"That's right!"

"Alas, there are too few officials like Dutou now......"

"People in Zhujiazhuang dare to provoke, Li Erlang is really a hero who fights tigers, and he is full of courage!"

Listening to the words of praise from the people, Li Nan felt that he had done a good job of buying people's hearts and promoting prestige this time.

Li Nan, who had hidden a lot of thoughts, was waiting to escort Zhu Biao and others back to the yamen, but saw Wu handed over a burden and said: "Li Dutou, you took someone to relieve my family's worries this time, and I would like to express my gratitude for this little meaning." ”

Li Nan secretly sighed that the Wu family still didn't understand the things on the scene, he was now pretending to be a good official who served the people, although he wanted it very much, but how could he accept her money in public.

"It is natural to do things for the people, Mrs. Simon, you should take it back." Li Nan, who was smiling, refused to accept the burden full of silver money handed over, and left amid the cheers of the people.

Wu originally thought that Li Nan was just polite and humble, but he didn't expect him to get on the horse and gallop away, and he stood still for a while and didn't know what to do.

It was still the shopkeeper of the crude medicine shop who saw a lot of things on the scene, and whispered a few words, and Wu suddenly realized.

The prisoners were all imprisoned, and as for the torture and interrogation of the charges, he didn't have to work to do it himself, so naturally Zhang Hao dealt with Peng Bantou, who took over the prison.

Li Nan sat at the table and drank his tea, and began to think carefully about what might happen next.

This time, he helped the Wu family, on the one hand, because he was grateful for Ximen Qing's move, but more importantly, because Li Nan wanted to try how deep the water in Dulonggang was.

No matter which dynasty you are in, if you want to make a big career, you must have money and soldiers, but although Li Nan now has a lot of money in his hands, he can't buy more soldiers because of his status and official position, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of people with intentions and the government.

If you can find a way to take down the Zhu family, the Li family and the Hu family in Dulonggang, then both the wealth and the subordinates will increase a lot, and the biggest advantage of these Zhuangzi is that they have a large number of armor guards, and they can completely hide the troops in the people without attracting attention.

Zhu Biao is the third son of Zhu Chaofeng, the owner of Zhujiazhuang, and the youngest son of ordinary people is favored, so he has developed the problem of being so arrogant and brainless as he is now.

I arrested Zhu Biao this time, and the people of Zhujiazhuang definitely can't give up, but they definitely didn't have the courage to lead troops to break into the county town to get people, if they did so, it would be a real crime of rebellion.

Li Nan thought about it for a long time, and estimated that after Zhujiazhuang got the news, he might salute first and then soldiers, trying to save Zhu Biao who fell into his hands, or he might use both sides to send the armor guards and Zhuang Hu to capture the manpower in the farm outside the city as a threat.

Calling Zhang Hao outside the house, Li Nan instructed: "You find someone to quickly go outside the city to inform Meng Li, set up a defense outside Zhuangzi, stay vigilant, if there are thieves from Zhujiazhuang to attack, even if the arrows are fired in a volley, there will be no mercy!" ”
