On the way to Qiligang, Li Xin walked with the middle-aged man in charge of affairs among the displaced people.

"You're one of these people?"

The middle-aged man nodded humbly and said, "The villain was the first chief before, and he was still the patriarch of the Wang family. However, in the past few years, the tax and grain have been pressed too tightly, and there are not a few people who abandon the land and flee, and the government has come to us to pay compensation. Of the family's 200 acres of land, only 30 acres were left in two years, and there was not much money left. But the government still pressed endlessly, so I was ruthless, and escaped with my clansmen and neighbors, and everyone got together to take care of them. ”

"It's all your people?" Li Xin looked at the more than thirty people in the team and asked.

The middle-aged man replied: "There are also people from other places, but there are many of us, so naturally they will advance and retreat with us." ”

Li Xin smiled and nodded, "What do you call Patriarch Wang?" ”

"Don't dare to be," the middle-aged man hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain's name is Wang Dejiang, and the word is Runyu." The villain lacks water in the five elements, so he got this word. ”

"What would you think if you had a piece of land for you to plant?" Li Xin asked suddenly.

Wang Dejiang raised his eyes to look at Li Xin, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "The good man said that he laughed, I still have 30 acres of land at home, and the 200 acres of land that I sold at a low price are all barren." What if you have land, you don't have to pay taxes? It's better to let it be deserted, save effort. ”

Li Xin did not speak, and he knew at this time how much the peasants were afraid of the tax policy. If you want to change this, you can only take your time after that.

This road is all wasteland, only a large piece of land near the river is free of dry grass, a little inquiring to know that this is the king of Zhou's grange, so it can still be planted normally. No one dared to collect taxes in the grange of the vassal king. However, the vassal king does not want any kind of land, and only the water source close to it is harvested, and now there is a great drought, and the palace does not want to pay for the construction of the canal.

When I arrived near Qiligang, a man came out of the dry grass on the side of the road.

"Wang Dejiang!" The man withdrew his hand, wiped his nose with his shiny sleeve, walked around the two carts, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are you people?!" What about the big boss and the second boss? What about the downhill tigers? ”

The team stopped, and Wang Dejiang said humbly: "We all followed the big boss to the county seat, so let's come back with our things first." ”

"!" The thief shouted and scolded unabashedly: "Next time Lao Tzu will also go to rob the road!" Whoever wants to do this job of guarding the village will do it! ****** go to the county seat to find a happy life! ”

He scolded angrily, came to Li Mou, and said suspiciously, "Who are you?" How do you look at the noodles? ”

It's no wonder that there are a few tigers and wolves in a herd of sheep, and they can't hide them.

Li Mu didn't speak, and looked at Li Xin out of the corner of his eye. Li Xin felt that no one else had come out for such a long time, and there should be no other guards, so he cut down with his palm and motioned for Li Mu to solve it.

The process was also simple, Li Mu suddenly made a move, and suddenly hit the thief's throat with his flat-flexed knuckles. There was a faint "click", and the thief's eyes widened, his hands covered his neck, and he took a big breath of air, but he couldn't breathe in any air, and slowly fell to the ground.

There was no commotion in the crowd, and although they may not have killed anyone with their own hands, they saw a lot of death, and they were numb.

The team cleaned up, hid the thief's body in the weeds, and moved on. After a while, I came to Qiligang. This is just a larger mountain bag, and on the top of the hill stands a stockade, a simple wall made of stones, and a wooden fence-like gate.

Only one thief was cowering outside, and everyone else was warm inside.

"Why did you come back?" The sentry asked, but he didn't see who it was, and then turned and went back into the house.

Li Xin was excited for a while, and said in his heart: "This is the help of heaven, and there is no obstacle to entering the stockade." With a wave of his hand, several border soldiers quickly rushed into the stockade with weapons.

Suddenly seven or eight thieves came out of a room, and it turned out that the sentry had gone back to call for someone to receive something. Of the people who came out at this time, only three or four were carrying knives, and the others came out empty-handed. They were stunned for a moment as they watched a group of men with weapons rushing towards them.

"Who?!" One of the thieves finally reacted and let out a loud shout. But as soon as he finished shouting, an arrow was shot into his forehead. The thief with the knife pounced fiercely, and the one who did not hold the weapon turned around and wanted to go back to get the weapon.

The sound of clanging weapons colliding, as well as all sorts of roars and curses.

Li Xin had no angle to shoot arrows at this time, so he had to jump on a pile of firewood, but at this time the two sides were already entangled, and he could only watch.

Those border soldiers are really good, in the end, their ancestors have been soldiers for generations, as long as they have been in the army, their kung fu is not weak, and a few people can effectively cooperate with them.

There are also two thieves who are okay with kung fu, desperately blocking left and right in front to buy time for the other accomplices in the house. But in the end, two fists were no match for four hands, and after a while, Kung Fu was cut down.

After that, the border soldiers rushed in, and the sound of weapons colliding was heard in the house, but I don't know what the situation was inside.

"Go in and help!" Li Xin ordered Li Mou, who was still outside the door. He only has these dozen or so teams now, and if he is ambushed and the loss is too great, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Second brother, you go to other rooms to have a look!"

Li Zhong knew that his spear was not easy to use in the house, so he put the spear on the ground, carried a waist knife and began to search other houses.

"Wang Dejiang!" Li Xin continued to assign: "You take a few people to appease your family!" Let them stay and not move! ”

Li Mou finally entered the house, and Li Zhong also began to search the other houses, while Wang Dejiang shouted loudly outside, telling all their families to stay where they were and not to move.

After a while, Li Xin, who was standing on the firewood, saw Li Zhong slowly retreating, and a thief put a knife on a woman's neck, slowly moving forward, and shouted in his mouth: "Who are you?!" How big are we?! ”

Li Zhong continued to retreat, giving up his position at the door, leaving the thief standing in the doorway.

With a "boom", Li Xin, who had already come to open the bow after hearing the thief's shout, finally shot the long-standing feather arrow. The feather arrow passed through the thief's forehead, and with a "thud" pierced the back wall of the room, and the bloody eagle shook violently, throwing the blood on the face and head of the man squatting in the room, and screaming one after another.
