Chapter Eighty-Four: Woe

Wu Tongzhi hurriedly walked up to the main hall and walked to the front, Yan Zhizhou still got up to greet him, but the businessman sitting on the side did not move, his face was cold and abnormal, this arrogant behavior made Wu Wensong even more dissatisfied, thinking that he was just a businessman, the most inferior person of Shinong Industry and Commerce, seeing that the official was so big, but Yan Zhizhou's next sentence made his anger completely disappear, and Zhizhou said in a solemn voice:

"This is the Jinyi Wei Wang Baihu from Jinan, who came to our Jiaozhou to handle the case."

Jinyi Wei Baihu, hearing this, Wu Tongzhi's face suddenly put a smile on his face, don't look at the two sides are only half a level apart, but this Jinyi Wei Baihu is the king of Hades, even the political envoy Si Yamen in Jinan Mansion is majestic, not to mention this small Zhizhou Yamen.

"I don't know if Shangguan is coming, Xiaguan is really lazy, but he has used wine and food, and Xiaguan immediately arranged for someone to go to Shaohailou to locate his son."

The king Baihu snorted and said:

"Don't bother, bring your brothers to Jiaozhou, but to arrest the salt lord Li Meng who knows the law and violates the law, this time Wang brought the brothers in the hundred households over, just to inform a few people, so as not to move, there will be any misunderstanding in the locality."

Hearing the word "Li Meng", Wu Wensong's heart was shocked, but he still kept a smile on his face, Yan Zhizhou's face was very ugly, Li Meng and his personal grievances were not mentioned, but the silver that could be handed over was real, not to mention those indirect effects on local public security and economy, Jin Yiwei suddenly came to the door today, saying that if he was arrested, he would be arrested, and after he was arrested, what should he do in the local area?

But it's just a slander, no matter what kind of resentment, the arrogant brocade Wei Qianhu in front of him is afraid that he will even take it, so he smiled and arched his hand, and said:

"Wang Baihu, please rest assured, after the brothers have arrested people, the yamen will send people to appease them. By the way, do you need someone to lead the way? ”

"It's better not to send people, please restrain your subordinates with two adults, if there is a tip-off, don't blame Wang for coming back ruthlessly."

After Wang Baihu said coldly with a threat, Yan Zhizhou's face changed. In the end, he still said weakly:

"Today, the official is also a little uncomfortable, so let's go back to my house to rest first, Lord Wang must know the road, so please go by yourself, how about it?"

Wang Baihu nodded and turned his gaze to Wu Tongzhi, but Wu Tongzhi was much more slippery. Hurriedly clasped his fists and smiled:

"As the lord said, the lower officials are saved, and they will naturally restrain the upper and lower levels of the yamen. I wish Lord Wang a success, and after returning to the city, the next official will give the lord a drink to catch the wind! ”

When these flattering words came out, Wang Baihu showed a smile on his face, and without saying much, he got up and waved at the people below, and strode out.

The following brocade guards naturally ignore Yan Zhizhou and Wu Tongzhi. Seeing that his chief greeted, he followed out in a noisy manner, and Wu Tongzhi hugged his fists as a salute. With a respectful smile on his face, he waited until the last time he went out to straighten up and slowly turn home from the other door.

Wu Wensong calculated in his heart that behind Li Meng was Liu Fulai, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the ceremony. At best, the difference between these brocade clothes and guards is the thousands of Jinyi guards in Jinan. A central minister, a local chieftain. The status of the two sides is very different, and looking at this posture, even if the commander of the Jinyi Guard in the Beijing Division faces the celebrant Bingbi, he has to be polite.

After walking a few steps, he was already in front of his house, Wu Wensong had already made up his mind, walked into the courtyard quickly, and after about half an hour, the two family members hurriedly ran out.

Today's Li family manor is very clean, Li Mengdi is surrounded by thirty salt dings, each salt ding team is on the way to rotation, the salt ding team originally stationed in the salt field of Lingshan salt field should have arrived in Fengmeng Town today, but the weather during this time is very abnormal, in order to store as much salt as possible, Li Meng sent the people around him to help, there are very few people left around, anyway, there is no worry about any danger.

Li Meng and Yan Ding are rare to have such a free time, Li Meng took a nap in his bedroom after lunch. Guo Dong and two blacksmiths came to Li Meng for acceptance with two newly made firecrackers and armor, they were all sincerely afraid these days, and naturally they didn't dare to wait for Li Meng to come to check.

When they came to Li Mengdi's door, they were told by Yan Ding, who was guarding the door, that Lord Li was taking a nap, and Guo Dong and they didn't dare to disturb them, thinking that anyway, adults have been living in Fengmeng Town for the past few days, and it would be too late to tell them later.

Zhang Butcher is usually in Fengmeng Town, Jiaozhou City Gambling House is his cousin, this person was also told by Zhang Butcher alone, saying that Tang Er is the person who Li Erlang has greeted and wants to take care of, and he must be treated politely, Tang Er said that he wanted to go out for something, and he didn't dare to stop him.

The crux of the problem is that there are no horses in the gambling house, horses are still luxury goods for Zhang Butcher, and there is no need to buy things, and Tang Er, an outsider, can borrow horses in Jiaozhou City, Tang Er has no way to wander around for a long time, and in the end, he simply rushed out of Jiaozhou City.

As for Wu Tongzhi, the family he sent went out half an hour late, and he made up his mind that he should not be offended, and he was half an hour late.

It's rare to have a nap, but Li Meng doesn't sleep heavily, after coming to this era, he can't calm down to rest well, he has a state of impatience, and he always feels that there is not enough time.

Less than two hours after taking a nap, Li Meng woke up in bed, inexplicably traveled to this era for more than a year, can these strengths in his hands protect himself in the troubled times in the future, just as he was thinking about it, he heard two plops outside, as if he was outside the courtyard gate.

Although the salt Ding who was the guard for Li Meng was not a professional guard, he could do it very responsibly, in the past, when Li Meng took a nap in the house, there would not be such a big movement outside at all, and this town was not big, and the townspeople who were fierce were very conscious of moving away from the place where Li Meng was.

The courtyard door was pushed open with a creak, and the footsteps of many people could be heard, Li Mengxun turned over and got out of bed, and when he went to the window, he poked the window paper with two fingers.

There were many other people, but Li Meng didn't care about seeing who it was, turned around and rushed towards the back door, when the Li family manor was built, no matter how big the house was, it was two doors at the front and back, and the courtyard of the entire manor was so open, and people in Fengmeng Town could also enter and exit by themselves.

Everyone thought that this was Li Meng's whimsy, it was so cold in winter, wouldn't it be too cold to open a back door, and at this time it showed his convenience.

These people outside didn't know that the room in this manor was different from the usual layout, and when Qiu Dahai kicked open the door, he saw that Li Meng was not in the house, and the back door was wide open.

A cadre of people suddenly got up in a hurry, shouted and chased out, the houses and roads of this manor are due south and north, boxy, chased out of the house, and can see that the back door of the yard is also wide open, for that Wang Baihu saw the duck in his hand fly away, immediately angry, pulled out his weapon and shouted.

These more than 50 brocade guards ripped off the green cloth clothes outside, revealing the mandarin duck jackets inside, and chased them out with weapons.

The whole manor was unusually quiet, there was no sound at all, Li Meng, who was running wildly, regretted it extremely in his heart, the manpower in this manor was moved by him to go to the salt pans and salt fields in Lingshan to help collect salt, and the salt ding that was originally going to be rotated was also postponed by him to come back and help there. Even the thirty Yanding who followed him asked him to go to the neighborhood to train his equestrians, leaving only two people at the door.

I thought there was no danger here, but I didn't expect it to be careless, Li Meng's mind was full of remorse, since he started trafficking illicit salt, it is of course for the benefit of one party, but there are also many people who are poor and ruined, and there are still people who are angry at the money they have earned, and their side is still full of dangers.

Why do you think you are completely safe, so careless! Is it possible that he is going to die here, Li Meng's brain is spinning rapidly, but his feet are not stopping.

At this time, there is a rather interesting scene, that is, the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther, Jinyi Wei is rich and powerful, it is a famous rich place, these people usually eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and there has never been any opportunity to practice, Li Mengke has been practicing hard every day, and he used to have a good physical foundation, and the physical gap between the two sides is very large.

are all running wildly, but the distance between the two sides is slowly widening, watching Li Meng run farther and farther, the Wang Baihu panted and shouted a few of his subordinates to go back and ride horses, this matter is really a bit ridiculous, to catch people, actually can't run the other party, have the intention to shoot with a bow and arrow, but first, there is no such accuracy, and second, it is too hasty, and when he takes out the bow and arrow, Li Meng doesn't know how far to run. Li Meng's disheveled running was of course embarrassed, but the appearance of the brocade guards behind him was not much stronger, panting one by one, although the weather was cold, sweat was seen on each forehead.

Seeing Li Meng turn a corner, Naqiu Dahai smiled and said:

"My lord, the thief has already run to the drying field, there is a horse over there, waiting for the horse to come, he can't run him, this thief's house has no less than 100,000 silver, a huge salt field, adults, you can't let it go!"
