Yang Yi had never cared about what loot his subordinates had obtained on the battlefield before, and whoever captured it was theirs.

Monkey Jian'er's eyes widened as he watched Yang Yi open the iron box and take out a strangely shaped jade ring and a folded piece of paper from it.

Yang Yi opened the paper, and Monkey Jian'er hurriedly took a torch from the side and took it over.

"Zhang Shi, a person from Yongtian County, Congzhou,...." Yang Yi looked at it by the light of the fire and found that this was a household registration certificate, and the person on the household registration was called Zhang Shi, who was a scholar from a family in Yongtian County, Congzhou.

Yang Yi didn't know if the dead caravan guard was Zhang Shi, but at least this box had a lot to do with that Zhang Shi.

Look at the jade ring again, the shape is strange but exquisite, the jade ring is carved into a figure that looks like a beast but not a beast, and it looks very much like a totem.

Yang Yi studied for a long time and didn't see a reason, and the monkey on the side pretended to be puzzled and smiled: "Childe, there must be something strange about this thing, I'll take it and study it well!" ”

Yang Yi didn't pay attention to this guy at all, put the jade ring into his arms, and said, "What are you doing?" Are you idle? Get out of the way! ”

Monkey Jian'er pursed his lips in disappointment, and went to carry the corpse with Tie Niu and the others on his own.

By the time everyone lined up the bodies one by one and placed them in the courtyard of the post station, it was already dawn.

The morning in the mountains and forests is very refreshing, and the early birds are shuttling through the woods, and the fresh air that should be refreshing and refreshing is now filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

Looking at the post station full of sores and bloodstains everywhere, Yang Yi didn't know what to do, and it didn't seem like a taste to leave like this.

At this time, a general who had arranged to go out to guard hurriedly rushed in.

"Your Highness! There is a large group of people rushing from the official road in the south, which looks like the army of the government! ”

Yang Yi stood up, he had heard the guide say that the Shuzhong army would patrol the official road from time to time, although it would not play a role, but it would also make the bandits restrain a little, and yesterday he also heard the caravan guards say that the army would generally return when they inspected this post station, so the bandits were actually forced to do it at the post station.

"How many are there?" Yang Yi asked.

The general replied affirmatively: "At least more than a thousand." ”

Tie Niu on the side was a little worried when he heard this: "Shall we hide?" ”

A regular army of more than 1,000 people is not something that a dozen of them can handle.

Yang Yi shook his head and said, "No, if we hide, the suspicion will be even greater." After thinking for a while, he said, "Go, find a place to hide your crossbow and all the things that your army has brought, and shut up for me later, so that I can negotiate with those people." ”

The generals hurriedly collected all the military supplies on their bodies, and asked Hu Shou to hide in the mountains and forests with two people.

Yang Yi has considered doing this, even if these things are not hidden at this time, according to his news, they will also be confiscated when he crosses the sword and rushes through the pass, and it will also attract the attention of the government, so it is better to hide them at this time.

As soon as everything was put together, everyone heard the sound of shouting and shouting from the official road in the mountains ahead, and soon a heavily armed army appeared in front of everyone.

Shuzhong has always had few horses, so there will rarely be large-scale cavalry, and the team of more than 1,000 people in front of him has only a few dozen cavalry, and the rest are all foot soldiers following behind.

After a while, the cavalry in front of him came to the front of the post station first, and the cavalry captain led by him was obviously very surprised to find the corpses all over the post station, and he immediately ordered his men to draw their weapons and prepare for battle, but did not rush in, but waited for the foot soldiers behind him to arrive.

"General! Something happened at the station! After the large army arrived, the cavalry captain hurriedly stepped forward to report to the commander.

The general was taken aback, and when he came to the door of the post station and looked inside, he was also surprised, obviously he didn't expect such a big situation at the post station.

There are not many post stations on the Shu Road, but generally speaking, post stations are relatively safe. Although the bandits on the Shu Road are fierce, they are not unscrupulous.

A long time ago, when the army often cleared out bandits, the two sides fought countless battles, although on the surface it seemed that each time it ended in the failure of the army's clearance, but that was only a macro statement. There are not 1,000 large and small bandits on the Shu Road, but there are 800 bandits, there are 45,000 people in the large number, and there are only 12 or 20 people in the small number, and they are basically fighting on their own.

Therefore, every time the government clears and suppresses, the damage of the bandits is far greater than that of the army, just because there are too many people and they are distributed in the mountains and forests of the entire Shu Road, the government is really unable to clear it all at once. Every time the army retreats, bandits spring up like mushrooms after a rain, which is really helpless.

Later, the merchants in Shuzhong couldn't stand it, and agreed with the bandits on the road repair fee, and the government turned a blind eye and didn't know, as long as the bandits were not too big to do any big case, then hello, I'm good, everyone, everyone is happy.

This post station has gradually become a safe place on the Shu Road by default, which is equivalent to the affirmation of the authority of the army by the bandits, and the meaning is very clear, you are the boss, and I will not provoke you in your territory.

However, there are exceptions, a few years ago, there was a group of extremely vicious bandits who came to the post station to commit crimes, not only robbed a small caravan of goods, but also killed all the more than ten good people in the caravan.

Unfortunately, there was a steward in that caravan who was a distant relative of Gao Zuozhen, the counselor of the Chengzhou Prefecture, and after the steward died, his family went to Gao Zuozhen to cry, Gao Zuozhen was furious, and immediately ordered the Jian Chong Pass guard to send troops to exterminate the bandits.

Jian Chong Guan guard will not be able to, so he has to slowly raise troops to prepare to enter the mountain to crusade, while transmitting the news into the mountain, and release the news, as long as the group of bandits who committed the crime can be caught, if they can't find it, then they can only clear all the way to the past until they are found.

As soon as the bandits in the entire Shu Dao heard the news, they immediately felt like a frying pot, and no one was willing to pay for the debts owed by others. At that time, the leaders of several large villages of bandits gathered together to discuss and decided to find out the gang of bandits and hand them over to the government.

In this way, of course, there is no suspense in the result, it is difficult for the government to find the bandits, but it is very simple for the bandits to find the bandits. However, in a few days, the heads of the gang of criminals were placed on Gao Zuozhen's case, and at the same time, all the Shudao bandits on the table made up the "settlement fee", saying that it was for the families of the dead caravan guards.

Whether those "settling-in expenses" finally went into the hands of the caravan orphans, or went directly into Gao Zuozhen's pocket, no one knows. But this matter has become an interesting talk in Shu for a while, the bandits helped the government solve the case, and also sent a settlement fee to the dead? It's kind of incredible.

What's even more incredible is that Gao Zuozhen actually showed off this incident as one of his political achievements, which can really be described as the world's greatest wonder.

Since then, a tacit understanding has been reached between the government and the bandits, the bandits have gotten the money for road repairs from the Shu merchants, and the bandits need to give the government face and not commit crimes indiscriminately, and the government will not go into the mountains to suppress the bandits at every turn.

Officials, merchants, and bandits miraculously formed an incredible food chain, and it has been maintained for many years.

And today, it seems that someone is brazenly challenging this food chain.

"Everybody, take it!" The general who led the troops saw Yang Yi and the others in the courtyard and decisively gave an order.

As soon as the leading general's words fell, countless soldiers immediately poured into the post station.

Seeing that the other party didn't say a word, he wanted to arrest people when he came up, and the generals were not very angry, but they had been instructed by Yang Yi before No matter what, they must not clash with the officers and soldiers unless they had to, otherwise they would really jump into the Yellow River and they would not be able to wash it.

"My lord, I have something to say!" Seeing the soldiers surrounding, Yang Yi immediately hugged his fists and raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent.

The general saw that Yang Yi and the others had been surrounded, and he didn't see that the other party had weapons, so he rode in slowly.

"The bold thief committed such a heinous thief punishment, and everyone got the stolen goods, what else do you have to say!" An adjutant general beside the general shouted loudly.

Yang Yi did not panic at all, whether this was a shocking word, or whether this gang of soldiers would be a group of scum ready to use Yang Yi and others as scapegoats, it is still unknown.

Yang Yidao: "This general, as you said, the scene is very clear. We are just passing travelers, not murderers. ”

The general who led the team looked at Yang Yi, then at the neatly arranged corpses, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Yang Yidao: "General Hui, people in the lower imperial capital, who passed by in Shu Province, but they didn't want to bump into such a cruel and inhumane scene. As he spoke, Yang Yi took out the forged household registration prepared by everyone before entering Shu from his arms.

Not to mention that although the identity is forged, the household registration certificate is from Du Li's hand, and unless you check it on the spot, you will never be able to distinguish the authenticity.

"A Bao Yu? The general looked at Yang Yi and then at the household registration, although the name was very strange, the household registration looked real.

"What the hell is going on here? Hurry up. The general's face was not good.

It can be seen that as long as Yang Yi says something is wrong, he will definitely be arrested.

Yang Yi sorted out his thoughts and said: "General Hui, I waited for the caravan to come here yesterday, I didn't want to be attacked by bandits at night, we quickly hid in the mountains and forests when we saw the opportunity, but these caravan guards were unfortunately poisoned by the bandits." After we bandits left, there were no living people when we returned to the station. ”

"What do you mean by seeing the opportunity quickly?"

"General, I accidentally found that there were bandits in this caravan, so I didn't dare to join in, we only have about a dozen people, and it is helpless to protect our lives." Yang Yi is telling the truth, if he can, he still wants to save these guards, but the premise is to ensure the absolute safety of his dozen or so people.

The general looked at Yang Yi and sneered, "Hmph... I think you're the bandits. ”
