Chapter 328: The Fish That Slipped Through the Net (Part II)

Half an hour ago, Wu Yong was still drinking wine on the fire in the thatched hut next to the wharf, imagining that if one day the big bald man really became the second person on Liangshan, then he, a powerful cronie who had followed him for many years, would also have a great improvement in status, and maybe he could also sit on a chair. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A person like him who has ordinary skills, if he can really mix in a position, no matter how many people he ranks, he is very satisfied, and the first thing after this is to learn from the big bald, go to Yuncheng County to find a charming young lady, and then give him a few sons.

When he was drunk and fantasized about holding a sister in his left hand and a big fat boy in his right hand, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the house, and when he lay on the crack of the door and saw clearly that the cook's wife, who had brought him something to eat a few days ago, slaughtered one of his subordinates as soon as he made a move, he was really scared.

He knew that he was by no means their opponent, and that going out was just a matter of death, so it was better to simply hide first, and when he saw someone walking towards the thatched house, he opened a dog hole in the corner of the thatched house and drilled out.

Hiding behind the thatched hut, he saw everything that happened on the dock clearly, and a hundred or so internal guards were ordered by the mustache to set fire to the mountain, and he knew in his heart that Liangshan was finished.

He had been a bandit for so long, and although he didn't know what the origin of these well-trained people was, he was surprised that these people were definitely not ordinary when he saw the hard bows they were carrying.

The hard bow was a forbidden weapon among the people in these years, and if an ordinary person had a hard bow of more than one stone, he would be exiled at least and die at worst.

There is no such weapon even in the ordinary government yamen, and even if there is one in the Xiang army, it can only be worn by a few generals and colonels, this thing is obviously only equipped by the archers in the forbidden army and the border army, and the person who burns the mountain in front of him has a hard bow, which is really incredible.

It was very dangerous for Wu Yong to hide behind the thatched house, and if someone searched carefully, it would be easy to find out what he was hiding, so before anyone had searched it, he quietly dived into the icy water.

It can only be said that Wu Yong, this kid, is lucky, he was originally a water bandit, his martial arts are not very good, his water nature is not bad, and he also drives a good boat, and it is precisely because of his ability that the big bald man arranged for him to guard the dock.

When the people who burned the mountain had gone without a shadow, he emerged from under the water, spat out the reeds in his mouth, and climbed ashore tremblingly.

Looking up at Liangshan, it was red under the thick smoke, Wu Yong had relatives in his heart, the once powerful Liangshan cottage was burned down by someone like this, such a fire, you don't have to think about it to know that anyone on the mountain who can breathe can't escape the fate of being burned to death.

While glad that he didn't die, Wu Yong realized that he was really likely to have a future blessing, since the fourth master died, then the young lady named Ying'er he raised in Yuncheng County was not his?

The fourth master not only bought a small yard in Yuncheng County, but also secretly hid the money he had secretly intercepted after going down the mountain to block the road and rob in the past few years.

Wu Yong's psychology soon changed, from the sadness of the destruction of Liangshan Cottage, he immediately made a 180-degree turn, thinking that maybe this catastrophe was a turning point in his life, and he didn't need a big bald man, and his family dream would come true in advance.

The heat wave from the fire quickly dried his clothes, he found a small boat, looked in the direction of Yuncheng County, and quietly sailed there......

Yang Huairen and his entourage returned to Twenty Miles, the inn in Liangshan had been secretly taken away by the internal guards beforehand, they were already fierce, and the shopkeeper, cook, and Xiao Er and others in the inn were all solved neatly, and there was not a single living mouth left.

He plans to rest here for one night, and the next day he will go to Yuncheng County to visit the Yuncheng official office, although the bandit village on Liangshan has burned down, but a place like Liangshan is really a good place for the bandits, and it is inevitable that another group of people will occupy the mountain as the king, and he needs the government to organize people to occupy Liangshan.

For example, moving some nearby fishermen up the mountain, building a fishing village, and establishing a beacon-like way of transmitting news with the Yuncheng government can prevent small-scale bandits from going up the mountain again.

Early the next morning, the fire on Liangshan gradually extinguished, Yang Huairen left a few people to guard the inn, and sent people to Liangshan to inspect it, and then the army set off for Yuncheng County.

Walking outside the city gate of Yuncheng County, Yang Huairen found that a large number of people had gathered on the open ground outside the city gate, and several large wooden cages were placed on both sides of the official road into the city, and five or six people were locked in each cage.

An internal guard who was playing the outpost in front reported that Wang Wenfu, the county commander of Yuncheng County, had posted a notice, and last night he led the third squad of the county government to arrest and unite with the Xiang army stationed in the city to launch a surprise attack on Liangshan overnight, and a fire burned the bandits' nest.

Inside the cage are twenty or thirty thieves on Liangshan, and a public trial will be held in the square outside the city gate at noon today, and the remnants of these thieves will be cut and beheaded.

Thousands of people also rushed to the scene after hearing about this, and everyone wanted to see what it was like to cut off the heads of thirty bandits at a time.

Yang Huairen almost lost his breath after hearing this, there are still people to rob such a broken credit? This Wang Wenfu is really not a good woman.

But after thinking about it, he felt that there was something wrong here, the whole thing last night, whether it was the plan to burn the mountain or the implementation of the actual action, was done by his people, to say that one or two sporadic bandits could escape for their lives, it was not impossible, but thirty people, how could this be possible?

If Wang Wenfu made such a big play in Yuncheng County, he must have planned to kill the good and take the lead.

Yang Huairen's face was very grim and ugly, if Wang Wenfu wanted to take the risk, he might not care at all, this time his plan and action to exterminate Liangshan with the internal guards were originally very secretive, and he didn't plan to go to the court to ask for merit.

The master behind Liangshan is the Cangzhou Chai family, if they know that it was he Yang Huairen who exterminated Liangshan, with their influence in black and white, maybe they will give him something to do, this is all a troublesome situation.

As for Chai Zhizu's plan to rebel, Yang Huairen currently does not have sufficient evidence to prove that the Chai family has the Danshu iron coupon given by Taizu, except for sufficient evidence to prove that Chai Zhizu wants to rebel, other crimes cannot cure him.

Therefore, Yang Huairen originally planned to give the credit for the extermination of the Liangshan thieves to others, secretly probe Chai Zhizu's reaction, and wait for him to be angry and annoyed with any mistakes, maybe he can find evidence that can prove that he has the intention to rebel.

But Wang Wenfu, a dog official, can take risks, but if he kills innocent people, he is killing himself.
