Simply sent the governor and the chief bookkeeper out of the city to watch, to see the news, these scribes of the Zhizhou Yamen were even more timid, just standing at the gate of the city and looking, many of them had some dealings with the salt pole, and there were businessmen who asked for the inspection of the salt administration were also waiting at the gate of the city, after all, this is a favor.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the governor and the chief bookkeeper had already given up hope, and the shopkeeper Li of the Golden State Warehouse over there also looked a little unsightly.

At this time, whether it is a person who knows the inside story or not, his heart is beating the drum, could it be that Li Meng really has no luck to be an official, and he will die halfway through?

Just when everyone was about to return to the city, a sharp-eyed official pointed to the end of the official road in Pingchuan and shouted:

"Look, look......"

Regardless of whether the eyes are good or not, they are all looking in the direction pointed by the officer, and a team of people appeared in everyone's sight, at this time, there is no caravan and pedestrians coming and going, it must be Li Meng's, but Li Meng's team is so many, at this time, everyone is a little worried, a group of people simply ran back to the city, the city gate went down the gate first, and a group of people aimed at the city, which can be regarded as a foolproof strategy.

It didn't take long for the people to come to the gate of the city, and at this time the sky was still bright, and the people in the city looked at the more than 100 numbers under the city, and they all gasped.

It looks like they were really attacked, what would be the matter with the three people lying on the door panel, but, are these people really Yanding recruited by Li Meng? Everyone is carrying a spear with a solemn expression, often carrying a few waist knives and iron rulers on their backs, the team is very neat, everyone still has some stains on the tip of the gun, looking down at the city wall, how to look like bloodstains, this style, this appearance, even the sentry stationed in the north does not have this kind of murderous aura.

"Li Meng, who was stationed in Jiaozhou Yanzheng to inspect and take office in the city, it was still early, why did he close the city gate and open the door."

Someone stood up from the line and shouted.

The people at the head of the city were already frightened by more than 100 people in the city and couldn't speak, and no one answered for a long time, so the shopkeeper Li was the first to come back to his senses, carefully poked his head out, squinted his eyes and glanced at the people below, and suddenly a heart fell into his stomach, and there was a smile on his face, and he turned around and said in a loud voice:

"It's Lord Li, open the city gate, open the city gate!"

Everyone who came back to their senses was urging one after another, and the soldiers guarding the city gate cursed in their stomachs, but they still ran to the city and opened the city gate, the main bookkeeper, the state lieutenant and these merchants they could not afford to offend, and the inspection was also a big role for them, so they could only serve carefully.

After opening the door, the governor and the chief bookkeeper saw that Li Meng was fine, and they didn't want to stay here, their grade was not lower than the inspection, and there was no intersection between the things in charge of the two sides, so they didn't bother to welcome them.

But looking at the more than 100 people behind Li Meng, they all felt that their throats were dry, and these young people behind Li Meng looked like they were the children of Zhuang households, their clothes were shabby, and there were some stains on their clothes, but there were things on these people that made people tremble, and those stains were clearly blood stains, where was this salt, and it was clearly a soldier.

Of course, these people don't know that Li Meng is extremely dissatisfied with these salt rods that make others tremble, and he has to strictly rectify them.

"Li encountered some trouble on the way, delayed the time, and made you wait for a long time, I'm really embarrassed, I must pay for the wine another day."

Li Meng hugged his fists and saluted, and the people who greeted him involuntarily bent down and hugged their fists:

"It's okay, it's okay, Lord Li is polite."

The shopkeeper Li of the Jinzhou Warehouse hurriedly pulled everyone with a smile on his face to introduce Li Meng, and just introduced a few, Zhao Neng on the side said in a loud voice:

"A few adults, as soon as our brothers came out of the guard, they met hundreds of thieves on the way, and they were killed, this is to escort the adults into the city to take office, please give us justice!"

The state lieutenant was responsible for the security and theft of thieves, and he hesitated and asked:

"Dare to ask what casualties there are?"

Zhao Neng made a sad look and said in a deep voice:

"Hurt six."

The lieutenant choked in one breath, coughed continuously, and couldn't answer the words anymore, so he simply found an excuse to go home, this is the six injured, how big can it be, and hundreds of thieves, who believes it?

After entering the city gate, he refused the invitation of several merchants to set up wine at night, and asked the shopkeeper Li to help find a Lang Zhong to treat the wounded, and found a few families to pay them to buy meals for these more than 100 people.

With his subordinates to a small mansion, Li Meng turned around and said:

"Let's sleep here tonight, and there will be other arrangements tomorrow."

There were already people waiting at the door of this mansion, and when he saw Li Meng coming, he walked a few steps quickly and knelt on the ground, first kowtowed a few times, and then said with a smile:

"This mansion has been cleaned and welcomed."

Li Meng showed a smile on his face, bent down to help the kneeling man up, and said with a smile:

"Rosie, in the future, you will also be my brother of the salt pole, do a good job, Li never treats his brother badly, Ma Gang, give him twenty taels of silver."

Hearing this, this Rosie knelt down again with a thousand thanks, if he hadn't told the whistle in time and let Li Meng know the ambush plan, how could he have these benefits, it was really the right choice, Li Meng didn't pay attention to it, walked towards the mansion, and continued to speak:

"I'll stay in King Muyan's house tonight, by the way, Rosie, make a copy of the paper at night, write down all the evil things and sins that the thieves who besieged me today, and send them to the yamen tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, the little one will be done tonight."

……

After those salt dings in the past were rejected by Li Meng and faced the danger of losing their jobs, most of these ruffian scoundrels decided to rob and kill Li Meng and maintain the current salt ding career, and some people decided to reveal the robbery plan to Li Meng to see if they could exchange some benefits, Rosie did just that, he was not favored under the inspection of Mou, and he could only live in this place near the west of the city where there was no oil and water.

This time, Zhang Luo, who passed on the news and plan of the ambush to Li Meng, and paved the way for Li Meng to build momentum in the city, spared no effort to run, but tonight, it seemed that it was completely worth it.
