A series of accidents made the flower hall very quiet.

Wang Cheng's screams still echoed, but in everyone's ears, it seemed to have changed its taste, and there was a sense of suffocation.

That's right, it's suffocation!

Huang Quan, Pan Yong and the others sat silently in place, not even daring to move.

The young man standing behind Deng Ji tucked the short knife in his sleeve and retreated as if nothing had happened.

Could it be tonight...... Will it be bloody again?

I think that at the beginning, when Deng Ji eradicated Chen Sheng, there were quite similarities with today. If there is a difference, that is, the last time Deng Ji held a banquet, there were few guests, and today it ...... Although a few people left, this flower hall was still full of friends. It's just as silent, it's the same without the slightest sign. Chen Sheng or evil is full of evil, but what about Wang Cheng? What is it for?

By the way, Deng Ji just shouted 'Xue Zhou'.

Who is Xuezhou?

How could Huang Quan's people not know.

Could it be ...... Huang Cheng and the others gasped, looked at Wang Cheng's eyes, and suddenly changed.

The two sharps walked into the flower hall, stepped forward to hold Wang Cheng down, and tied him up with ropes, but at the same time as the tie-up, they stopped the bleeding for him. Wang Cheng's round face became pale as paper at this time. The beads of sweat on his face flowed down his chubby cheeks, and he stared at Deng Ji, his eyes flashing with hatred. His lips were pursed, and he wanted to eat Deng Ji alive.

Deng Ji picked up a wet towel and wiped the blood off his face.

"Wang Cheng, Wang Mingwei?

Xue Zhou, Xue Ziyang...... To be honest, when I got the news, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect ...... What should I call you? ”

"Dog officer, don't be arrogant," Wang Cheng suddenly shouted, "If you know each other, you just let me go, otherwise I want you to die without a place to bury." ”

"Really?"

Deng Ji smiled.

"I tell you the truth, I have commanded my brother to go out, and he will arrive tonight.

In a little while, I'll see if you can still be arrogant......"

Huang Cheng and the others changed their faces when they heard this.

And Deng Ji, as if he hadn't heard it, still looked light-hearted.

He stood up, picked up the fish-kissed copper town, and slowly walked to Wang Cheng. Wang Chenghu struggled and wanted to rush up, but was held down by two sharp soldiers. Deng Ji just looked at Wang Cheng and didn't say a word. That gaze made Wang Cheng's heart tremble.

"I thought you were a character, and you were just a wine bag and a rice bag."

Deng Ji sneered and said to the young man after the meal: "Bodao, there is no need to keep people in the government, you take someone to Youxue and listen to him." ”

"Whoa!"

Hao Zhao intervened and strode away.

Hu Ban came in immediately, with a dozen house slaves behind him.

"Since I dare to do it to you, if I am not sure, how can I startle the snake?" Deng Ji smiled: "Xue Zhou, haven't you been clamoring for me to fight pirates?" Now, you're satisfied! It's just that it's not me who fights, but you send it to the door yourself. ”

"You ......"

"Yiluxiang, right?"

From Deng Ji's mouth, he spit out a place name.

Huang Cheng and others know that Yilu Township is a place name in Donghai County, which is located next to Qu County. There, there was once a great person, Zhong Lifu, one of the five generals under Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. Deng Ji had already said the name of the place, and Wang Cheng's face changed greatly. He looked at Deng Ji in shock, his eyes faintly flickering with fear. However, Wang Cheng did not speak again, but turned his head.

"Fool, haven't you noticed that I am the only one in this county government today?"

Wang Cheng was shocked and looked at Deng Ji again.

Deng Ji said: "Presumably, at this time, your people in Yilu Township have already subjugated the law. By the way, remember when I introduced you to Youxue, those two sworn brothers? One is the son of Dian Wei, the general of the current Chaohu Ben Zhonglang, and the other is the son of Xu Chu, the captain of Wu Meng, who had taken people to Houqiu three days ago...... Wei Mi of Houqiu has a friendship with Dian Zhonglang, and it is not difficult to borrow soldiers. ”

"How do you know ......"

"Hehe, naturally your good son told me."

Huang Cheng and others were confused!

Everyone knows that Wang Cheng has no heirs.

Well, in fact, he is Xue Zhou. Whether Xue Zhou has any heirs, no one knows. But there is one thing, shouldn't Xue Zhou's son be a pirate?

Deng Ji smiled and got up to return to his place.

"Alright, let's just wait here and see what the outcome is.

However, let's take this opportunity to discuss some more things. Just now we talked about Tuntian...... Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you think? ”

Huang Cheng and others kept silent.

They also have land, and they also have farmers.

If they agree, they will lose their roots; But if they don't agree...... Huang Cheng suddenly remembered something.

There are pirates attacking tonight, and those old gentlemen who left just now ...... Deng Ji had been prepared, but he didn't tell anyone. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity...... If this is the case, Deng Ji is in Haixi, and I am afraid that no one will dare to disobey the ......" Deng County order. ”

"Huang Xing, please speak."

"Although Xiaomin is not from Haixi, he can be regarded as a member of Haixi.

In the small households, there are still 6,000 acres of land, of which about 2,700 acres are fertile land. but few people cultivated it, so that it was much wasted. Xiaomin is willing to sell these 6,000 acres of land, but I don't know what the high price mentioned by Deng County's order just now, what is it? The small people are willing to cooperate with the county order. ”

"Hahaha, no wonder Youxue often praises you in front of this county, you are really a smart person."

Deng Ji laughed, "Huang Xingshou rest assured, this county will never let you suffer." I can't help but let you suffer, and there will be a great benefit for you. ”

"Benefits?"

Huang's face was confused.

What will be the benefits?

Could it be that the government will take back the land at two or three times the price?

It's not just that Huang Cheng didn't figure it out, but others also couldn't figure it out...... I saw Deng Ji smile, got up and shouted, "Hu Ban." ”

Hu Ban immediately walked over with a box and put it in front of Deng Ji.

Deng Ji motioned for him to hand the box to Huang Quan. And Huang Cheng was dizzy, and he didn't quite understand what Deng Ji's move meant.

"Huang Xingshou, just open it and take a look."

Huang Cheng took the box suspiciously, put it on the table, and opened it gently.

Everyone on the side stepped forward one after another, and looked inside, but only saw a delicate piece of Zuobo paper, with two big characters written on the far right: salt citation.

Huang Quan, suddenly stunned!

——————————————————————————- night was getting darker, and it was pitch black on the plain outside Haixi City.

The lights on the arrow tower swayed in the cold wind, flickering and dimming, looking weak and lifeless.

Dozens of black-clothed people were hurrying along the long street, and soon came to the north gate of Haixi County. The first person, dressed in black, wearing black leather armor, and a pair of black shoes under his feet, suddenly stopped. He looked left and right, then nodded to the people behind him, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and the men in black immediately swarmed up, quickly rushed to the city gate, and occupied the gatehouse.

"Xiaoshuai, no one!"

"Xiaoshuai, there is no one on the arrow tower......"

The man in black was stunned when he heard this, and then he shook his spirit and roared: "It's not good, it's a trick, withdraw!" ”

Remove?

A group of black-clothed people were just about to turn around and flee, but they saw the long dark street, and suddenly the lights were bright.

On the upper part of the city gate, a young man stood up and looked down at the battlements with his hands.

"Mai Cheng, since you're already here, why rush to leave?"

As he spoke, a group of soldiers poured out of the boxes on both sides of the long street.

However, they were dressed as military soldiers, all dressed in black and black, and rushed over and surrounded the people in black at once.

The first two are Wang Mai and Deng Fan.

The two of them each held weapons in their hands and surrounded the men in black.

"You ......"

"Mai Cheng, do you want to continue pretending?"

The young man standing at the head of the city is Cao Peng.

Holding a five-foot Han knife in his hand, he stared at the black-clothed man downstairs in the city, and asked with a smile.

The black-clothed man who was the leader suddenly ripped off the black scarf on his face, and the firelight reflected on his face, which was the Mai Cheng that Cao Peng said.

"Brothers, break through!"

"Leave a few alive, and those who dare to resist will be killed."

Cao Peng was at the head of the city and shouted loudly.

I saw Wang Mai and Deng Fan, each leading fifty law enforcement teams, hulala rushed up, which was a ferocious attack.

Cao Peng stood at the head of the city and watched quietly, returning to his senses from time to time and looking out into the dark wilderness outside the city. Pu Yang Min stepped forward and stood beside Cao Peng.

He asked worriedly, "Ah Fu, can this be done?" ”

"How?"

"According to the news, there are quite a few pirates this time, more than 2,000. There are only 200 soldiers in our city, and they will not be more than Zhoucang Xiahou, and Wang buys Deng Fan. I'm really worried that if I can't resist it, all my previous efforts will be ruined. ”

Cao Peng smiled, "These people are enough!" ”

"But ......"

"Mr. Puyang, just rest assured, I'm not the kind of person who is reckless.

Although the pirates are numerous, they are nothing more than a rabble. If they don't come, I won't let them go easily......"

Cao Peng's words revealed extremely strong self-confidence.

Although Pu Yang Min was still a little worried, he couldn't say anything more.

A few days ago, Cao Peng had already received information that the Haixi pirates were going to ransack Haixi County. As for why it came? Cao Peng can roughly guess a clue in his heart. It's just that Wang Cheng suddenly disappeared at this time, which made Cao Peng feel more or less worried.

Wang Cheng is not eliminated, and it is always a big scourge.

Cao Peng was not sure where Wang Cheng had gone, so he set up a plan to spread the news of Yukiss Tongzhen through the mouth of Mai Ren.

He was not sure that Wang Cheng would definitely appear.

It's just that it is arranged according to the assumption he had made earlier.

didn't expect that Wang Cheng would really appear...... In this way, Cao Peng confirmed the previous assumptions.

Mai Cheng and the others are very fierce, and it can be seen that they are all battle-hardened bandits. It's just that what they encountered this time was a more fierce law enforcement team. After Wang Mai and Deng Fan's adjustment for a period of time, the law enforcement team of Haixi County has sufficient combat power.

Besides, there are many people, and Wang Mai and Deng Fan are there, although Mai Cheng and others are fierce, they will soon be unable to resist.

Wang Mai entangled Mai Cheng, so that he had no time to take care of the people around him. The iron-spine snake spear in his palm whirred, killing Mai Cheng in embarrassment.

The terrible screams kept echoing in his ears, and Mai Cheng was a little anxious.

Seeing his own people, one by one fell in a pool of blood, but he couldn't spare his hands.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Deng Fan shouting, "Mai Cheng, look at the move!" ”

He dodged a shot from Wang Mai, turned his head to look, and saw a black shadow whistling and flying. Mai Cheng was startled, and hurriedly shrank his head to dodge, only to hear the sound of the bell, and a copper ball the size of a baby's fist smashed on the ground, and sparks flew away. Before Mai Cheng could come back to his senses, Wang Mai stepped forward and kicked him to the ground. Mai Cheng rolled on the donkey and wanted to stand up, but Wang Maifei arrived and poked him in the thigh. The iron-spine spear penetrated his legs, and the painful Mai Cheng screamed again and again. Biwang Mai is a ruthless person, after a shot shot into his thigh, his arms are forced, and he suddenly lifts up. Mai Chenghu's head was down, and he was hung on the gun.

The pain was unbearable.

Mai Cheng is also a tough guy, but unfortunately under such severe pain, he can't help screaming again and again.

"Brother Tiger Head, ask when those pirates will arrive."

Wang Mai agreed, shook the iron-spine snake spear, and shouted: "Did you hear it!" ”

Mai Cheng was shaken by Wang Mai, and he almost fainted in pain.

"Stop, stop...... What you ask, I answer, as long as I know. ”

"Then you can explain how to contact the pirates."

"You let me down first."

Mai Cheng's face was sallow, and he couldn't get hard anymore.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Wang Mai said, and he shook the snake spear again.

"I said, I said...... We have made it clear to the commander that we will light a beacon fire at the head of the city when the time comes, and then they will go out.

All we have to do is open the gates and welcome them in...... Big brother, you hurry up and let me down, I'm going to die. ”

Wang Mai raised his head and looked at Cao Peng.

Cao Peng's hand pressed down slightly, and he looked up at the sky.

"Mr. Puyang, what I want, are you ready?"

"It's all ready."

Cao Peng's face couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Tiger Head, fight quickly, and you have to delay any longer."

Wang Mai agreed, shook his spear and threw Mai Cheng out.

He immediately swung his spear and rushed into the black. Wang Mai and Deng Fan are basically comparable to second-rate generals, how can they be opponents if they are men in black?

In just a few moments, a group of men in black staggered in a pool of blood.

The law enforcement team went up and dragged the man in black away, quickly emptied the long street below the gatehouse, and then disappeared into the dark alley with Wang Mai Deng Fan.

"Mr. Puyang, it's almost."

Pu Yang snorted and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the county office.

"Youxue, we're playing with fire."

"How?"

"Salt and iron are the foundation of the country.

Private salt market, in the end ......"

Cao Peng said softly: "Actually, the salt road in Haixi has existed for a long time.

Even if we don't open it, we can't stop it. It's better to control the salt road in our hands than to be controlled by others...... What's more, our control of the salt road is also for the sake of Tuntian. Speaking of which, there are only good, not bad, we just take what we need. ”

"I understand the truth, but I ...... in my heart"

"Sir, the big husband does things and doesn't stick to the details.

When I was a child, I heard an old saying in my hometown: for a noble goal, you will do whatever it takes. Isn't what we are doing now just to return a piece of pure land to the western part of the sea? ”

Pu Yanghong was silent, and nodded lightly after a long time.
