Yin Wen: "You have already fought with them, you must have found out the strength of the other party, according to what you know, what is the strength of these people?" ”

Ran Fei: "It's not much different from my personal guard!" Speaking of this, Ran Fei finally almost understood why Yin Wen wanted to intercept him.

Yin Wen: "I guess you've already guessed a few points!" This bandit can not only have the weapons of our Qi army, but also have good training, not only that, but also be able to get the secret support of the local government, except for the factor of victory, the entire Qi country, the only person who can have this ability is ......"

"Marshal of the South, Liang Wenbing!" Ran Fei interrupted him.

Yin Wen lowered his head: "They just want money, I'll give it to him, if you report to the King of Qi and let him order a thorough investigation, if you find a clue, they have lost their status, what's the use of using the money, then what else will my son be kidnapped, I'm afraid he will be ......"

Ran Fei gasped: "These bastards! Then he clenched his fists and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't think of this layer below!" But in your opinion, what should I do? We can't let them go unpunished! ”

Yin Wen: "Their kidnapping of the children of the powerful in the DPRK is now known to the whole country, the documents of the King of Qi should have arrived in Jiyang, as long as you go back to Longquan Mountain, you should know that the other party used the children of the powerful to coerce, although it is a crime on your territory, but as long as the children of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are kidnapped, they will definitely oppose you to send troops, and when the time comes, the King of Qi will definitely let you withdraw for the lives of the children of the ministers." ”

Ran Fei: "So what should I do?" You've already figured it out! ”

Yin Wen: "Yes! You are like this, when the courtiers are against sending troops, you borrow the slope to get off the donkey, retreat the army and calm the people, the bandits of Longquan Mountain will definitely release people after receiving the money, and then they will be afraid that the court will send troops to extinguish and will definitely not entrench in Longquan Mountain again, you send people to quietly inquire about the news, secretly investigate, intercept and kill halfway, and then as long as you catch a few high-level people and bring them to the king of Qi, the time of their death will come! ”

Ran Fei agreed very much: "Very good, just do as you say!" ”

Ran flew out of the carriage, left Linzi, and as soon as he arrived at Longquan Mountain, Lian Zhan took out a bamboo slip and reported: "The king has come up to order!" ”

Ran Fei opened the bamboo slip and looked at it and said, "Order all the troops to retreat a hundred miles." ”

Lian Zhan grew his mouth and glared, "What? Boss, isn't it? This guy has tied up so many powerful children, we still have to let them go? ”

Ran Fei handed the bamboo slip to Lian Zhan, "Look at it! This is the order of the King of Qi! ”

Lian Zhan opened the bamboo slip, but found that he didn't know a lot of words, and scratched his head: "I probably understand the meaning, I don't know a lot of words!" ”

Ran Fei gave him a kick: "Let you not follow the military to read and write!" ”

Lian Zhan didn't dare to speak anymore, and returned the bamboo slip to Ran Fei, who put it on the table: "Go!" Let the brothers withdraw! ”

Lian Zhan nodded, "Yes!" Then he left the tent.

Three days later, the children were tied up in the DPRK and the central magnates each sent their families, passed through Ran Fei's military camp, and went to Longquan Mountain to redeem people, Ran Fei let his henchmen pretend to be Yin Wen's family members, followed up the mountain, explored the terrain, tens of thousands of knife coins are an astronomical amount for the people, but for these magnates, and nothing, for the lives of their children, it is nothing to give up some money, but they may never come to the north again in the future, the incident happened in the north, Ran Fei has an unshirkable responsibility, but because of Ran Fei's outstanding military achievements, it cannot be erased, The King of Qi demoted Ran Fei by one level, and let him make meritorious service to solve the bandits in Longquan Mountain and then rise back.

Regarding Ran Fei's demotion, Hou Sheng and others felt that the punishment was too light, and jointly wrote a letter requesting that Ran Fei's position as marshal in the north be removed, but the King of Qi saw that Ran Fei had just defeated the re-invasion of Yan State, and there were important ministers such as Tian Dan to help him speak, so he only maintained the original order, and Ran Fei was demoted by one level, still managing the military and political affairs in the north.

Ran Fei received the order, and immediately asked Lian Zhan to bring his ideas to Jiyang, and told the military advisor, Tian Ba, and Lu Zhonglian, and the three of them discussed it, and felt that if they killed the prefect of Rao'an for lax management, it would definitely be too much, so he would be stripped of his position and let him go home to retire.

But the day after the prefect of Rao'an returned home, he died in his own home.

Ran Fei naturally understood in his heart who did it, but he didn't want to investigate, because he deserved it, but he still had to investigate, because it must have been done by Hou Sheng, as long as it was found out, Hou Sheng would definitely not be able to please him.

The person sent by Ji Ranfei to monitor Longquan Mountain reported that while collecting money and releasing people, the other party transported the treasure by boat from the east, and the direction was to the south.

Ran Fei thought in his heart: "It's really a good plan, if it weren't for Yin Wen's idea, then when they all escaped, I'm afraid I would still be buried in the dark!" ”

Ran Fei asked Zhang Dali to personally go out to find out where the other party's money went.

Boxes of money had to be sent to Longquan Mountain, but Ran Fei couldn't do anything, feeling very aggrieved, Ran Fei let his subordinates keep an eye on Longquan Mountain, and he returned to Jiyang, because there was some big problems.

Ran Fei wanted to buy the salt industry, but before the salt industry, the Qin family rebelled, the whole family was killed, and many of the Qin family's shopkeepers also inquired and fled, and it was difficult to find so many experienced shopkeepers in the northern region, and there were many problems in the acquisition of the salt industry, the biggest one was that the collection was received, but no one managed it.

Ran Fei only understood the consequences of killing people at will.

Ran Fei asked people who had worked related to salt before to report, give heavy remuneration, and let them manage the salt industry, but they didn't understand many things, although they had worked in the salt industry, but if they could simply run it, I am afraid that the world would be full of rich people.

Ran Fei had no choice, at the moment, only the dead horse was used as a live horse doctor, so that they could be cheeky and go into battle.

After dealing with the matter of the salt industry, Ran Fei got another good news, the first batch of swords from the Sword Casting Hall was baked, Ran Fei went to see it in person, the longest one was more than seventy centimeters, and the short one was only five to ten centimeters, that is, the dagger, the Sword Casting Hall handed over the best dagger to Ran Fei for inspection, Ran Fei picked it up, and found that the surface of the dagger was very smooth, and he could even see his own reflection directly, Ran Fei's eyes rolled, and people quietly brought all the daggers to Longquan Mountain.

When Ran Fei returned to Longquan Mountain, more than half of the kidnapped officials' children had returned, but Gu Nian was still detained, and her father took the money to ransom people, but he didn't want the other party not only didn't want his money, but also gave him money, saying that it was a dowry.

Ran Fei was furious after hearing this, and immediately asked the scouts who dressed as officials to ransom people, and the scouts replied that the specific situation had been clarified. The terrain is also mastered!

Ran Fei immediately summoned the elites in the camp: "Let's give him a salary this time." ”

Lian Zhan and everyone: "Boss, what do you mean?" ”

Ran Fei thought about it, too, there was no idiom at this time, and they definitely didn't understand it, so they said: "It's okay, it means that let's touch it quietly and kill each other." ”
