(89 Literature Network Literature) (89 Literature Network Literature)
Walking on the street, no one can see any difference, not to mention, when they go to the street in the middle of the night and are seen by the soldiers patrolling the city, they will be directly punished and questioned, even if they meet, they are all evasive, who dares to see whether the clothes of these soldiers are real or fake.

These disguised soldiers seemed to be very familiar with the roads of Jiaozhou City, and when they walked into the courtyard of the inspection yamen, they extinguished the torches one by one and threw a few stones into the wall, and there was no sound inside. Suddenly, several people put their shoulders on their shoulders and turned over to the wall.
These 30 or so people looked professionally trained, and although they were holding weapons in their hands, when they landed, they didn't make much noise, which was very slight.
The people who landed first were all nervous and vigilant, but the house of the salt administration inspection seemed to be asleep, and they couldn't even see a lamp, and it was completely pitch black, which made these people feel a lot more at ease, and everyone's movements were very fast, and all of them jumped into the yard quickly.
"Are they all in?"
Suddenly, there was an inquiry, and before these people could react, someone outside the courtyard shouted:
"It's all in."
It was too sudden, and the first reaction of the people who attacked at night in more than 30 years was who didn't know the rules, and actually shouted, what should people do, and then they woke up and were ambushed.
In ancient times, when there was no outdoor light source and could only rely on natural light, the night was much darker than we modern people imagined, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the five fingers were not seen face to face. (Reading.com.)
Then the man with the lantern stuffed the fire into the lantern, lit it and threw it to the side. (Qingfeng Literature Network called", a large fire suddenly burned, it seems that the firewood was poured with oil, otherwise it would not burn so quickly.) The fire was blazing, and the whole yard seemed to be daylight.
Yan Ding, who was holding spears, knives and axes, stood solemnly opposite them, and the more than thirty night raiders were immediately panicked, but they were also calm, and the ground in their hands was also full of knives, axes and spears, and the other party was the appearance of more than fifty people.
The leader of the night raider was about to give the order, when two loud noises rang out from the other side. Immediately, these people were shocked on the spot, and the other party also had firecrackers, and more than a dozen salters with firecrackers walked to the front row. Looking at this posture, the night raider's heart was cold, even in the night, he could see the thick caliber of the opponent's firearm, and he also had to use a wooden fork to fix it, for these people who had seen the market, it was definitely not small.
The fire gun is flat, and the spear is also flat, although there are more than 50 people in the courtyard, but the bearing is strict. There is a faint style of a large army, and under such a combination, the night raiders can only be slaughtered.
"You bold and reckless people who don't know whether to live or die, and there is no royal law in your eyes, are you trying to rebel?"
Generally, if they can't beat it, they start to threaten them verbally. It's just that the voices of these night raiders are very low, and they are also afraid of being heard by others, and this kind of thing basically doesn't need Li Meng to come out, Chen Liuzi stood opposite, and said coldly:
"There is no royal law. Let's talk about it after we get out of the swords. I count to five, and I don't lose my sword or gun. We're going to kill it! ”
The night raiders exchanged glances with each other, and when Chen Liu counted to two, those fire crackers were already preparing to light the primer, and the night raider threw his knife on the ground in a dejected manner, and said listlessly:
"Our brothers don't even have a chance to fight hard in this meeting, they can't take the initiative to find death, lose it, maybe there will be a turnaround. (Reading.com.cn.com.)
After saying this, these people threw their weapons to the ground, Chen Liuzi spat and foamed, he was the same as Yanding who had been waiting all night, and thought that there would be a fight tonight, who would have thought that the other party would talk eloquently, but it was such a nest, saying that if he lost his weapon, he would lose his weapon directly.
Chen Liu was holding back his strength to make a contribution and go back to the Yanding team to lead the troops, he thought that tonight was an opportunity, but who thought that he didn't fight much, he really felt lost.
At this time, the technique of tying salt bales was used by the salters, and they were forced to use spears, and one person came over and tied them up one by one, and there was a ready-made prison in the inspection house, which could be used with a little modification.
Since the other party didn't resist, Yan Ding didn't have any means on his side, but he pushed and walked towards the prison after tying up, and was walking through the main gate, and the gate over there was pushed open, *** clear, but it was Wang Hai who walked in, and his face was also stupid, and when he saw Chen Liuzi walking towards him, he couldn't help but complain and said:
"Sixth brother, looking at these people, one of them is tall and big, and the guy is not bad, why is it so unplanted, as soon as the inn is surrounded, he will honestly disarm, and when he gets to the street, he also told me about the great truth of the court and the king's law, and I slapped him a few times before he came honestly, it's boring, it's boring."
The two of them complained to each other, and the mood of the Yanding soldiers was not high, after all, it was so cold, and they had to get up, they wanted to be able to fight and earn some military exploits, who wanted to be simpler than driving sheep outside the city, and they were even more angry, and they looked at who walked slowly, and they kicked when they raised their feet.
But these night raiders are very interesting, and they are all honest after being beaten, but they are only there to reason, and their voices are very low, and they are more afraid of waking up the people around them than the salters.
This lazy appearance made people even angry, and pushed directly into the prison, locked the door, and left the guards to sleep.
When I got up the next morning, no one in Jiaozhou City except for the inn knew that more than 60 people had been arrested by the Yanzheng Inspection Yamen last night.
Of course, it doesn't hurt to know, Li Meng is now a five-grade official, and in this Jiaozhou area, he is considered the highest-grade official, as for those people to ask why they were arrested, it is very simple, casually carrying a bag of salt, saying that this is evidence of the crime of selling illicit salt, which is fine.
Li Meng got up early and rode a horse outside Jiaozhou City, and the banner of "Safe House" on the back wall of the Zhizhou Mansion was still pasted.
Although the courtyard wall of the Zhizhou Mansion is towering, Li Meng estimated that he could climb over it on horseback, but after thinking about it, he dispelled this idea, I heard that in the homes of such officials, there are generally secret agents or brocade guards arranged by the imperial court, in case he climbs over the wall and goes in, there is a secret agent with an iron whip waiting, but inexplicably there is this feeling, of course, the Jiaozhou battalion garrison went to the wall of the Jiaozhou Zhizhou house, and it is indeed ugly, Li Meng no one dares to laugh at it, but the reputation of Zhizhou's daughter is a big problem.
After coming back from Henan, except that the weather is still cold, and there is a tomboy jumping up and down around him, life is not much different from before leaving, which is quite boring.
However, Li Meng felt a little interesting today, because there was a group of assassins of unknown origin in the prison that inspected the Yamen, and he didn't know who was his enemy?
Today, the atmosphere in Jiaozhou City is a little strange, the inspection yamen uses a cart to pull things outside the city, all of them are some paper contracts, as if moving, there are familiar people who have the courage to ask, the answer is unified, saying that since the Jiaozhou barracks outside the city are built, then it is convenient to move outside the city.
Yanding, who could return from other places, mobilized 300 people to the mansion in the city, and the gates of Jiaozhou City were also taken over by the soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion.
Speaking of which, the defense of Jiaozhou City and the opening and closing of the city gate originally had their own township soldiers in charge, Li Meng did not have too many people in his hands before the old Yanding in the field was not all rotated back, but this time it was directly taken over, the original people were all sent to the Jiaozhou battalion to do work such as service, and those who were unwilling to continue to be soldiers were the return fee.
More than 60 people suddenly came over from Henan to break into Li Meng's house, and they were all warriors with knives, which was not a trivial matter, especially since Li Meng had just led people to Henan, and in Lushi County, he negotiated the sale of green salt with Gao Yigong, who had a mysterious origin, and the intention of these warriors really made people have to pay attention to it.
The change of guard and stationing in various places has almost been completed, and several veterans invited from the Lingshan Guard Station are leading the leaders of the Jiaozhou battalion at all levels to patrol the city wall and various places, explaining the key points and methods to be paid attention to in defending the city.
Everyone doesn't think there is anything strange about this, Li Meng's management of the army and management training Yanding has always been strictly abnormal, which has been spread all over Jiaozhou, although today's change of defense and takeover is a bit sudden, but it is also the responsibility of the Jiaozhou battalion, there is no need to make a fuss.
After walking around the side of the city wall, Li Meng rode back to his house, and saw the salt Ding driving five carts back, for the team to see Li Meng hurriedly bowed and saluted, but the others were still busy with their own, if there was military affairs, except for the team salute, the others were as usual, this is also one of the military laws of the Jiaozhou battalion, Li Meng thought to himself that those people in the salt Ding system didn't all move outside the city, why are there still carts here to pull back. He immediately asked:
"What's going on with this cart?"
The team replied respectfully:
"Master Li, these are all things that those people put in the inn last night, Sixth Brother Chen and they all ordered them to bring them over."
As soon as Li Meng heard this, he immediately understood what was going on, nodded, and rode to the front, after the incident last night, Li Meng's system had actually begun martial law, and the shopkeeper and the guys of the inn saw that the salt ladies had taken away more than 30 people, and they didn't understand.
