At the end of July, the movement of the bandits in the water had changed from sticking to the wharf in Shuyang to taking the initiative to attack on the water.

Especially at the junction of Jianyang and Shuyang, a checkpoint was set up, which became an important dividing line for strict investigation and restriction of water bandits.

But...... There was no peace on the Thorn Yang side.

Because I don't know when it began, it was rumored that the burials in Thorn Yang were all dignitaries, and their burial goods were precious and abundant.

He also took great pains to say that a few "tomb robbers" and "haircutters" from other places became well-known and wealthy because they robbed several large tombs.

In this troubled world where eating is a problem, how to make the embarrassed people not think?

Naturally, in recent times, there have been countless tombs that have been "fated mounds", which makes today's Thorny Yang Ling Luyuan very headache.

Although it is the Thorn Yang Order, but now the land of Thorn Yang is controlled by those families with deep backgrounds, as a cemetery and hunting ground, this Thorn Yang Order of the Wu Kingdom Court has actually become the tomb keeper of the actual family family.

How tragic!

"Ling Gong, today the ancestral tomb of the Gou family was "sent to the mound", and the tomb keepers of the Gou family were killed! ”

Captain Yu Yu came to report.

"The ancestral grave of the Doctor has also been dug up?" Thorn Yang Ling Luyuan also never thought that this Gou clan is also a very powerful family in the court, and now the leader of the Gou clan is the counselor doctor in the court of Wuguo, worthy of the name "Faith Party", and has a close relationship with Gongzi Xin.

Du Lieutenant Yu Yan nodded, after all, Thorn Yang is under the rule of the court, no matter whether this place is controlled by the family or not, once there is a scandal of "there are many people in Thorn Yang Hair Hill", it will directly affect Thorn Yang Ling Lu Yuan and him, the Captain of Thorn Yang.

"How bold these bandits are!" Thorn Yang Ling Lu Yuan scolded angrily, now that such a thing has happened under his rule, it is already impossible to hide it, and it has spread to Wancheng, what good fruit does he have to eat?

Thinking of this, Thorn Yang Ling asked in a deep voice, "Have you found out where these bandits come from?" ”

Du Wei Yu Yan replied: "The water of the flood of Huaiyang is led to the east, the water bandits are blocked, and all the water bandits are expelled into the land of Thorn Yang. ”

Thorn Yang Ling Lu sighed secretly, "Alas...... People can't live anymore, how can you take care of etiquette, you look at the thousands of miles of fertile fields of "thorns and yang, martial arts and feet", and now it has become a feng shui treasure land for those families, a place of sacrifice in the clan, or a hundred miles of hunting grounds, for a few families and a few people to enjoy, others don't know what the phrase "water bandits have more thorns and yang" means, you still don't know! ”

Du Wei Yu Yan nodded: "Hao is strong, since the difficulty of Jin and Han, the national strength of the martial country has been declining, and it is inevitable that the local area will be out of control...... It is inevitable that these big families will take advantage of the situation to rise and seize local power......"

Hearing this, Thorn Yang Ling Yu sighed heavily, and then looked at Du Lieutenant Yu Yan and said: "Today, when this news is sent to Wancheng, Thorn Yang does not have many troops, and it is difficult to suppress the bandits. ”

Du Wei Yu Yan also nodded in annoyance, now Jianyang is indeed without soldiers, and even the annual taxes are difficult to collect, the reason is that the original people of Jianyang have occupied the land because of the family, resulting in a situation of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and there is no one, who will let you collect taxes?

Land annexation is on the rise!

……

This is the third time that Xiang Ying, the governor of Shuyang, has received a report from the water bandits.

The tomb of the Gou clan?

Xiang Ying passed the news to Lin Yuyan, who is now sitting on the border of Shuyang and Jianyang.

In addition to the regular establishment of the Shuyang Army and the righteous followers of the Shuishui, the original Xiangyong and the young men from all over the Huaiyang have all been mobilized, and the dozens of miles of Shuishui in the north of the boundary of the Shuyang Territory are full of defensive soldiers, which is to monitor the next move of the Shuishui bandits.

When he received that the water bandits had dug up the family tomb of the Wuguo Counsellor Gou Wu She's family, Lin Yuyan was also a little settled in his heart, and now Lin Yuyan wants to use the strategy of "iron lock and boat" to further compress the activity space of the water bandits, without the cooperation of the neighboring areas, I am afraid it will not work.

Now the matter of Thorn Yang Faqiu is forcing Wancheng to react in this matter, after all, if Lin Yuyan is not mistaken, this counselor Gou Wushe gave himself a congratulatory gift at the beginning, and he is a veritable "believer".

This time, if the second emperor brother wants to ignore it, he may have to react to the request of his own side.

Lin Yuyan: This is a yang scheme.

Now the army on the Huaiyang side has been mobilized, and the entire Shuyang army has combined with the Yicong of the water and the youth of the river to block the water.

Originally, the Wu Kingdom did not rely on water transportation, and if it was a blockade, except for the losses suffered by some powerful families, it was basically unhindered by the Wu Kingdom.

On the third day of the first month of August, five departments of the Shuyang Army and two departments of the Shuishui righteous servants surrounded a place of water and mountains in the water, the highest part of the hill in the water is only a few zhang, surrounded by reeds, and the depressions are full of swamps, Lin Yuyan can hardly imagine that such a place is actually the nest of those water bandits!

This is not the nest of the Ma's water bandits, but the nest of a group of water bandits who are not weak on the water, if they hadn't dug up the tomb of the Gou Wu family in Jianyang, they would not have been targeted by Lin Yuyan.

Xiang Ying stayed behind, and Lin Yuyan looked at the small water mountain, and also ordered everyone to surround it.

This gang of bandits was only fifty or sixty people, and there were many women and children among them.

Under the persecution of the Shuyang army and the Yifu of Shuishui, they quickly surrendered.

When cleaning up these water bandits, Lin Yuyan found that this group of water bandits was far poorer than he thought.

So much so that Lin Yuyan thought that this was a group of water bandits who were doing evil, and they were clearly just a group of refugees!

However, looking at the several large boxes that these water bandits were hiding in the pit because of the new soil, I didn't expect that it would actually be finished gold and silver coins and a large number of bronzes.

There is also a deep layer of dirt with a fishy smell on it.

There is no doubt that these are the funeral goods of the wealthy family dug up by this group of water bandits in Jianyang, and it is obvious that the majority of them should be from the ancestral tomb of the family of Gou Wushe, the counselor of the Wu State.

Xiao Kun, the deputy lieutenant of Shushui Yicong, was in charge of counting these belongings, and couldn't help muttering: "It's really hard to imagine how rich these big families are, so many things will be used as burial goods for their ancestors......"

Lin Yuyan determined from the mouth of the water bandit that these things were indeed from the Gou clan's family tomb.

But soon, Lin Yuyan got bad news.

The leader of the bandits arrested this time revealed the news: "The Ma clan called on the bandits in Shuishui to gather in Xiaochang'an on the fifth day of the eighth month to rebel, and we are just to hand over a petition for the loss of my name!" ”
