Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Truth
The old member of the Xia family and the master over there were walking towards this side, and they saw the salt thieves carrying the seriously injured horse thief to the edge of the deep ditch, and the knife fell in their hands, and directly cut off their heads.
The sky was dark, and the blood splashing after the beheading was not clear to see, but the old man Xia almost sat on the ground, and the master from Gaomi County vomited even more, and when he arrived at Li Meng, Li Meng looked up at the two of them, and on weekdays, these two people didn't take Li Meng, who came to make a show, to make credit, but now that he was stared at by Li Meng, Old Man Xia's knees involuntarily softened, and he knelt directly on the ground.
The old man said in a continuous voice:
"Lord Li, if it weren't for your righteous help, Honjo would have suffered a catastrophe, such a great kindness, I don't know how to repay it, if there is something that Honjo can do, please open your mouth, you will be dedicated to repaying."
Li Meng looked at the two people in front of him kneeling, his face was indifferent, he was not ready to maintain any polite attitude with them, when he heard the other party say how to "repay" this sentence, Li Meng sneered and said:
"If you are not mistaken, you still have more than a hundred horses here, and I don't take advantage of you, how about dozens of dead horses here for fifty good horses?"
If this is not called taking advantage, then what is taking advantage, Mr. Xia and the master scolded a few words, it seems that the master is still in charge, after Li Meng said that, Mr. Xia couldn't help but look at the master on the side, the master gritted his teeth, raised his head and said with a smile:
"My lord's protection of the territory and the people, these horses are also some of the hearts of the Gaomi people to support the righteous deeds of the adults, so please don't let Master Li refuse."
Of course Li Meng would not refuse, these horses arrived at Xiazhuang at night, and the knight on the horse had a look of shame on his face, and he was grabbed by the master and slapped him more than a dozen times, and he didn't dare to say a word.
The salt thieves did things neatly, fifty horse thieves were cut off and piled up outside the back door of Xiazhuang, Xiazhuang provided a good coffin, and after the sacrificial salt Ding was finished, Li Meng led the leaders at all levels and all the salt Ding to worship outside Xiazhuang with the heads of those horse thieves.
This ceremony is murderous, and it is the most taboo thing to pay tribute to the dead at the door of other people's homes, but the people of Xiazhuang are grateful, Li Meng and their death battle to repel the horse thieves, and secondly, the villagers of Xiazhuang seem to have just discovered that these young men who buy things and give money and never bully people are so bloodthirsty and fierce, and everyone is afraid of abnormality.
The next morning, a cadre of the Gaomi County Ya came to Xiazhuang, Li Meng noticed that the face of the Gaomi County Commander was pale, as if he was greatly frightened, after checking the body of the horse thief, the on-site office, and quickly completed the formalities for the salt Ding, and Gaomi Zhixian almost swore to the sky, saying that Li Meng protected the safety of the place, and he had to ask the governor and the court for Li Meng to take credit no matter what.
Li Meng didn't want to stay here longer, the scale of this battle was not large, the casualties were very small, although it was a little thrilling, but the result was still very good.
In this battle, there are too many lessons to sum up, Li Meng firmly remembered these things in his mind, for fear that he would forget a little, and when he was ready to go back, let the master organize it into words, which will be of great use in the future. After finishing what should be done, Li Meng took the horse Yanding and returned directly to Jiaozhou City.
After returning to Jiaozhou City, the first thing Li Meng did was to call Ning Qiangui into the room, one person to say, one person to write, for two whole days. Then the horse rushed to Fengmeng Town, Li Meng wanted to see the progress of Guo Dong's Liaomin blacksmiths, and the attitude of the blacksmiths was more natural than a few days ago.
The reason why the progress is not as fast as before is that they are building armor according to Li Meng's instructions, more than 2,000 salt dings, more than 500 need armor, although the leather armor is inlaid and hung with iron leaves and iron parts, which also requires a lot of man-hours, but the fire gun is delayed.
It's just that the blank of this fire gun looks a little strange, Li Meng looked at it for a long time, and asked:
"How much can this fire gun be after it is formed?"
"It's about thirty pounds ......"
Li Meng smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said:
"More than thirty pounds, who can carry it up and down the battlefield, here is a firearm, it is clearly artillery?"
Hearing Li Meng say this, Guo Dong looked admiring, and said in a loud voice:
"My lord is really good, this fire gun is really in the style of the tiger squat cannon."
Li Meng was a little speechless, and after a while, he waved his hand and said:
"Let's do it according to which of you killed the firebolt, I thought about it, that firebolt is at least very practical, just do it according to that, but you still have to focus on making armor now, and the firebolt should not involve too much manpower."
Hearing that the style of the fire gun was determined, Guo Dong's body was weak for a while, and he even felt like he was collapsing to the ground, since following Li Meng, these Liaomin blacksmiths have been entangled in this fire gun for almost two years, and today it is finally finalized, of course, I am relieved.
After returning to Jiaozhou City, there were too many things that needed to be arranged, and Li Meng didn't have time to stay in the blacksmith shop longer, so he simply ordered a few words, and was about to leave, when Guo Dong was sent to the door, Li Meng suddenly turned around and said:
"There is a rule, Master Guo, you explain today, each craftsman has his own number, and the weapons and armor you create must be marked with this number, if there is a problem with the weapons and armor, I will investigate this sin according to the number, if there is no number, it is your sin, but is it clear?"
This kind of responsibility to the rule of people, it is not Li Meng's first creation, in the Qin Dynasty to build weapons craftsmen is so guaranteed quality, the Ming Dynasty craftsmen are in a state of semi-slaves, there is no enthusiasm for production at all, and the quality is even more suspended, so Li Meng has such a saying.
After Li Meng finished speaking, Guo Dong immediately understood the stakes and immediately accepted it.
After living in the manor of Fengmeng Town for less than two days, Wu Tongzhi, who looked extremely frightened, came to visit, and as soon as he entered the door, he ignored the gap in official rank and grade, and knelt on the ground apologetically, but Li Meng confused Li Meng, and the two sides pulled for a long time, or Li Meng forcibly helped Wu Tongzhi up, and promised not to trouble him, this is what makes Wu Tongzhi quiet.
Wu Tongzhi, who was sitting in the chair, still apologized and explained the reason, and Li Meng only learned what happened in Gaomi City that day.
Gaomi Xiazhuang is a large family gathering of Zhuangzi and villages, and there is no room for thieves to survive, Gaomi County Ling and Wu Tongzhi are from the same family, together with the local horse fast and horseback riding people, together with more than 100 "horse thieves", and let Xiazhuang's Li Zheng report to the official.
Then he wrote a letter through Wu Tongzhi and handed it to Yan Zhizhou in Jiaozhou, and used Wu Tongzhi's side knock to persuade Zhizhou to ask Li Meng to exterminate the thieves, everything was arranged very well, as long as the time came, the fake horse thieves rushed, and as soon as Li Meng and these people appeared, they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Since it was a pretending to be a thief, these people were inevitably slack, and it was originally decided that a group of people would ride horses to go around in front of the Xiazhuang gate that day, and the dozen or so leading people drank more wine the night before, and when they went out, it was already two hours later than the previous time.
As a result, halfway to the distance, I saw a group of real horse thieves who were like wolves and tigers had surrounded Xiazhuang, and when I saw the sound of killing over there, these straw bales didn't even have the courage to reinforce at all, and Hula fled back to the county seat at once.
After escaping back to the county seat, he said in front of the Gaomi County Order, the county order almost fainted, originally said that it was to give credit, if Li Meng confessed to Xiazhuang, I am afraid that he would not be able to keep it, but Gaomi County has no garrison, and he has no ability to fight at all with his government and catching people.
I can only pray to the sky in the city, and regularly send people over there to inquire about the news, who would have thought that in the afternoon, those horse thieves were actually killed and dispersed, and the county order that got the news was to quickly order the more than 100 "fake horse thieves" to go over to support.
In the fierce battle that day, some horse thieves were seriously injured and escaped from the battlefield in Xiazhuang, but they were seriously injured in other places in Gaomi and were abandoned by their companions. The papers have already been handed over to Laizhou Mansion, and Gaomi has not received any news, who would have thought that it would be met by Li Meng so coincidentally.
Wu Tongzhi said this, with a frightened look on his face, if there was a good guy on Li Meng's side, their fate would undoubtedly be very miserable.
Seeing Wu Tongzhi's cautious and scared look, Li Meng couldn't say anything, after all, these people were seeking merit for themselves, so they hurriedly comforted a few words, and then asked the people below to prepare wine and dinner, and to entertain Wu Tongzhi at noon.
Look at this, Wu Tongzhi still has something to say......
