Qingcheng Mountain is a famous Taoist holy place and scenic spot in Shu since ancient times, famous for 'Qingcheng world', Qingcheng Mountain is hundreds of miles in radius, located at the junction of Chengdu Prefecture, Pengzhou and Shuzhou.

Zeng Xiulin's hometown is in Chongning County, Pengzhou, just north of Qingcheng Mountain, his family is a big family in Pengzhou, with Zeng Xiulin's power in Bashu, Zeng's family has become the first wealthy family in Shu, almost occupying more than half of the fertile land in Chongning County, and bought part of the northern foothills of Qingcheng Mountain, built a mountain villa with a radius of 30 miles, named Minghe Villa.

In order to safeguard the interests of the wealthy family, the Zeng family inevitably established the Zhuang Ding arm, after more than ten years of continuous improvement, the Zeng family has a thousand Zhuang Ding, the Zeng family also carefully cultivated the family children, more than ten years, not only produced a lot of scribe children in the examination, but also cultivated the "Zeng Men Ten Tigers" of the ten martial arts strong Zeng children.

has its own armed family, plus the Zeng family almost monopolized the monopoly of salt, tea and wine in Chengdu Prefecture, and the wealth is rolling, so that the Zeng family continues to break the ban, secretly buying a large number of top armor such as Shunshui Mountain pattern armor and black hammer armor, as well as serious prohibited weapons such as crossbows and gunpowder arrows, and even buying more than 300 war horses from the Qiang people, making Zengjia Zhuangding a private armed force with strong combat effectiveness.

However, Zeng Xiulin was also afraid that someone would denounce him to the imperial court, so he ordered his family to disperse 1,000 armed families to nine manors in the three counties of Chongning County, Daojiang County and Pi County.

Minghe Villa had the largest number of people, with 300 armed soldiers, led by Zeng Hai, the fifth thunderbolt tiger and Zeng Huai, the sixth broken door tiger, among the ten tigers of Zengmen, Xu Qingwei told Li Yanqing that all the account books, rosters and tax payment records of the anti-Jin military expenses were hidden in this mountain villa.

At the first watch, Yan Qing led five hundred soldiers along the foothills into the villa, tonight and Yan Qing's partner is the commander Li Ying, Li Ying in the integration of Liu Dayi's army and the annihilation of the battle of Yan Chang made great contributions, even promoted two levels, now he is a general from the five ranks, but his position in the army is still the commander, it is said that the Jingzhao army will soon carry out military reform, that is, the commander and the commander will be subdivided into three levels, Li Ying is either a first-level commander, or a three-level commander.

"Brother Yan, why do you say that the Zeng family should be equipped with such serious forbidden things as mountain pattern armor and divine arm crossbows, even if they wear cloth clothes and wooden sticks, no one dares to provoke them! Isn't it too rich, burning panic. ”

Yan Qing pursed her lips, "These local wealthy families are used to being the king and hegemon in one place, so they think that they are the first in the world, and what the court prohibits is not in their eyes at all." ”

"Others don't understand, but Zeng Xiulin should understand! It is said that he also served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, how could he not understand the rules of the court, I estimate that this old boy still has the ambition to rebel, if the Great Song Dynasty is really destroyed by the Jin soldiers, will this old boy take the opportunity to establish himself as the king of Shu? ”

"Shut your crow's mouth, don't talk nonsense!"

Li Ying stuck out his tongue, the Great Song Dynasty was destroyed, and this kind of thing really can't be said nonsense.

The crowd moved quickly, and walked quickly along the foothills towards the foot of the mountain, which was all no-man's land, and there might be family patrols during the day, but at night there was no one.

At this time, Yan Qing raised his hand, everyone stopped, they were in a forest at this time, less than 100 steps away from the foot of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain is a large area of grassland, there are thousands of acres, this is a grassland specially planted for raising horses, there are two buildings on the grassland about two miles away from the foot of the mountain, one is very elegantly built, it should be the residence of the owner when he comes to play, and the other is a relatively neat row house, which should be the military camp.

The two buildings are about two miles apart, and in the middle of the two buildings there is a three-zhang high wooden watchtower, on which there is a faint firelight, and there must be a sentry observing on it, except for the watchtower, no other patrol posts are seen.

Li Ying whispered to Yan Qing: "Beware of mastiffs!" ”

Yan Qing nodded, this was the lesson they had learned when they attacked Western Xia, when there were few sentinels, it was often because they had extremely sharp mastiffs.

"I'll let me go!"

Li Ying stared at the watchtower in the distance and smiled: "I have experience!" ”

Yan Qing nodded, Li Ying immediately picked the weeds from the side of the road, squeezed out the juice and smeared it all over his body, he moved unusually quickly and ran down the mountain, and heard his voice from a distance, "Ignition is the signal!" ”

Li Ying ran down the mountain, the smell of his body had changed to the smell of a mixture of earth and grass, and he could even smell the smell of a mastiff for miles away, but he had no interest in the most familiar soil and grass.

Yan Qing watched Li Ying's actions on the grass, sometimes prostrate and motionless, sometimes as fast as a cunning rabbit, Yan Qing couldn't help nodding secretly, worthy of being an old scout for more than ten years, every step has a rule.

Half an hour later, Li Ying was already standing close to the watchtower, and from the width of the watchtower, he deduced that this was a double watchtower, but there should be only one person on it, not even a patrol post, how could there be two people on the watchtower.

He quickly climbed the watchtower, and there was really only one person on the watchtower, with his back to him, yawning constantly, Li Ying jumped into the tower box, and without waiting for the sentry to react, "Click! With a bang, he wrung the sentry's neck.

He then took out the fire fold, shook it in the wind, and the fire fold burned, and immediately extinguished it, and burned and extinguished it again, three times in a row, and transmitted the signal to the mountain.

Li Ying climbed down the guard tower and ran towards his master, and soon joined Yan Qing and twenty soldiers on the high wall.

Everyone was a master, and they quickly ran in the back garden, only to see a faint existing light in a flower window, Yan Qing peeked into the room from the edge of the window, and suddenly startled him, a pair of men and women were doing things on the big bed, the woman looked at least forty years old, but the man was very young, and there was a big black iron gun standing on the wall, weighing at least forty or fifty pounds.

"Liulang, you don't want many young ladies in the manor, why do you like me as an old thing?"

"Young people are tired of playing early, you old slut has more taste!"

"If you are seen by the third master, it will be strange if you don't peel off your broken tiger skin."

"Then what are you doing here, aren't you here to seduce me?"

.......

The two of them kept talking in the room, Yan Qing had already guessed who the man inside was, Zeng Huai, the broken door tiger among the ten tigers of Zengmen, this kid's marksmanship was passed on by a famous teacher, and a set of five tiger broken door guns was quite powerful, so he was nicknamed Broken Door Tiger, this person has always been a gun, if he fights, even if he is killed, his brother will suffer a lot of casualties, and more importantly, he should know where the account books are hidden in the manor?

At this time, Li Ying smiled strangely at Yan Qing, and pulled out a long thin bamboo tube from his back, Yan Qing was immediately overjoyed, blowing the drug is indeed a good way.

Li Ying took out a packet of ecstasy, poured it into a bamboo tube, and gently blew it into the room, this ecstasy is like pollen, colorless and odorless, with very few particles, flying in the air, and it is easy to be inhaled by the people in the house.

After a while, I saw the man in the room and said, "I'm a little dizzy, help me quickly." ”

Yan Qing and Li Ying glanced at each other, and the two of them slammed open the window and rushed into the house, a woman's scream came from the room, and then the other soldiers also rushed in, holding down Zeng Huai who fell to the ground firmly, and the big iron spear that he never left was also snatched by Yan Qing in his hand.

"Who are you?"

Zeng Huai was about thirty years old, and he was very strong, he thought he had come in to catch the adulterer, so he didn't resist much, and when he found out that something was wrong, he was firmly bound.

"Who are you?" Zeng Huai asked in horror.

"Acquaintances tell me, 'Where are the books?' I'll spare your life. ”

"You guys.... You are Li Yanqing's people! ”

Zeng Huai suddenly came to his senses, a few days ago he heard that Li Yanqing had come to Chengdu Mansion, and this morning the uncle sent someone to tell him to find an opportunity to burn all the account books, he originally planned to let Zhuang Ding go out to practice tomorrow, and then burn the account books. Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing's people came in the evening.

Zeng Huai snorted coldly, "Do you think I'll say it?" ”

At this time, the woman wrapped in a quilt on the ground said weakly: "I know where it is, you.... Spare my life. ”

This woman is the concubine of Zeng Huai's third uncle, originally a prostitute, and was redeemed by Zeng Huai's third uncle as a concubine for more than ten years.

Zeng Huai was furious, "Stinky woman, you dare to say it, see how I kill ......"

Before he could say anything, Yan Qing cut his throat with a backhand, "You're worthless, go die!" ”

Zeng Huai curled up in a ball, blood sprayed all over his body, and he soon lost his breath.

Yan Qing squatted in front of the middle-aged woman, shook a bloody dagger in front of her eyes, and said coldly: "If you don't want to die, take us honestly, I will spare your life, if you dare to deceive me, you will be a mandarin duck with him!" ”

The woman was so frightened that she nodded again and again, Yan Qing stood up and shouted, "Put on your clothes and take us away." ”

The woman shivered and put on her dress, and walked towards the inner house with Yan Qing and the others.
