The Jinyi guard on the mountain heard the movement under the mountain, and immediately prepared, these people aimed their crossbows at the archers in the light and dark places on the mountain, originally Cheng Xiaolian wanted to equip them with muskets, but the improvement of that thing has not yet been completed, a musket weighs more than ten catties, and it seriously affects the actions of Jinyiwei, so he gave up.

Because of this matter, Cheng Xiaolian took the time to go to the Nanzhen Mansion Division and explained this matter to them, hoping that they could study a short-barreled musket, and Yue Qingfeng from the Nanzhen Mansion Division responded with a full mouth, but it was impossible to study it for a while.

The people on the mountain were startled, and the soldiers under the mountain had already removed the cloth in their mouths when they charged, because when they were fighting, they had their whole body strength, and at the same time, the breath in their bodies should also have a cathartic mouth, and it was estimated that if they covered their mouths, they would reduce their combat effectiveness a lot. So the people on the hill soon heard the roar, and they all looked back at their leader.

The big boss raised his knife and said, "See what I'm doing?" Murder, you are bandits, everyone has gone up the mountain, and you have to do your best to defend the cottage! ”

If Cheng Xiaolian and Yang Youcai hear this sentence, they will definitely determine the identity of this group of people, even if they are bandits, it is estimated that they are also bandits who have just established the mountain, but this makes sense why they dare to rob the imperial merchant's Kambu, they don't understand any rules when they first enter the industry, so they dare to fight the idea of the imperial merchant.

Just when the people on the mountain were urgently preparing for battle, suddenly a crossbow arrow was nailed to the chest of the archer, and the archer fell to the ground with a snort, and then the people around him were in chaos, and the leader shouted: "Don't mess up, hold your ground, there are not many of them, we can fight." ”

Yang Youcai also felt that something was wrong at the bottom of the mountain: "Why do these people on the mountain look a little uncomfortable?" Are they in disguise or are they really so vulnerable? ”

Cheng Xiaolian pouted: "What is the meaning of their camouflage at this time, and it is not to lure the enemy deeper, this is an offensive and defensive battle, but this thing is really strange, it makes me feel as if it is not as simple as we see." ”

Yang Youcai understood a little: "What's strange, it's just a group of people who just pulled up the pole to do the bandits, and recklessly robbed the imperial merchants, so they fell into our hands." ”

Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "No, you go and check the surrounding information, has there been a similar caravan robbery around, they robbed us for the first time, is it really so coincidental in the world?" ”

"Haha, no book is made without coincidence." Yang Youcai said haha, and he also understood in his heart that this matter was indeed too strange.

With the cooperation of the Jinyi Guard, it didn't take long for the bandits on the mountain to go, and a team of Jinyi Guards pressed a bearded man and walked down: "Your Highness, according to those little minions, this person is their big leader." These little minions are some outcasts. ”

Cheng Xiaolian frowned: "Wanderers? How can there still be displaced people in Sichuan? If you can't plant any land, where do you come from? ”

Jin Yiwei didn't know what was going on, and stretched out his hand to beckon: "Hey, you bring two of those thieves over, Your Highness wants to question." ”

Soon two or three people pressed over, and Cheng Xiaolian glanced at them: "Where are you refugees?" ”

"We are the homeless people of the Li Zhou Pacification Division."

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "Who is the pacification envoy of Lizhou?" How did he become an official? ”

Yang Youcai scratched his head: "At the beginning, the pacification envoy of the Lizhou Pacification Division was a wine bag and rice bag, let's fight down, cut off his head, and then the pacification envoy selected among those small officials, because there were too few people who could be pacified at that time, even if there were few scholars, so we could only choose from those people." ”

"So he took such a fat gap and forced all the people under his rule to be bandits?" As he spoke, he glanced at the bandit leader again: "What are you doing?" ”

The bearded man sneered: "If you fall into your hands, if you want to kill you, you want me to submit to you, wishful thinking." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "Ask him where he came from and what he wants to do?" He certainly wasn't an outcast. ”

Yang Youcai waved his hand: "Let him see the methods of the brothers, and be careful not to let him die." ”

Several brocade guards put him down, and when he came up again, he was already in tears, and the surrounding brocade guards said, "Your Highness, he is willing to speak." ”

"Who are you?"

"I'm the head of the Qi family's nursing home."

"Qi family? Qi Angelica? ”

"Yes."

"Why rob the emperor? Where did you get such a large number of people? ”

"Everything is the young master's orders, these people are all the silver sent by the young master for me to woo, and the imperial merchant is also sent by the young master to let me rob it."

"Where is your young master hiding?"

"I really don't know this, the people who follow him are diehards of the Qi family, I'm just a nurse, I haven't seen him since he was robbed. He told me to wait on this mountain for news, and I waited here for news from his people. ”

Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Sure enough, it has nothing to do with the merchants in Chengdu City, so these displaced people will be handed over to nearby officials for resettlement, and they have sent so many laborers, so we should be thanked." ”

A nearby county commander heard that the bandits under his rule had robbed the imperial merchant and was half scared to death, but Cheng Xiaolian didn't blame him, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

Cheng Xiaolian couldn't punish him, now that he has only been in Sichuan for a few months, he is already very capable of settling down the county, and it is understandable that he can't take care of the things in the mountains.

"These people are honest people, because they were lured by traitors to become thieves, and being placed under your rule can also increase your taxes, and you must do this well."

"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely live up to Your Highness's trust, and there is still a lot of idle land under your rule, which is just right to house them."

The army repaired in the county seat for a day, and then went straight to the Lizhou Pacification Division early the next morning, which was only a few dozen miles away from the Lizhou Pacification Division, otherwise these people would not have been held under the beard, and the fast horse arrived at the Lizhou Pacification Division in less than half a day. The army was waiting for news outside the city, and Cheng Xiaolian and they brought a few people into the city.

After all, the Lizhou Pacification Division is a city, if the army rushes in directly, it will be a little unlikely, and they don't know the specific situation in this city, so it's not too late to understand what is going on before making a move.

As soon as I entered the city, the streets in the city were deserted, it was noon, there were few people on the streets, and they were all in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to go home.

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "It can be regarded as a poor life for the people here." ”

"This Li Zhou pacification envoy is only afraid that we have made the wrong choice, but at the beginning, everyone assessed it together, could it be that this person can escape the eyes of so many adults in disguise?"
