The water dragon was wrong again, Li Hu was indeed in danger at this time, and the water dragon suddenly made a move, which only used forty percent, and quickly moved to the closest position to the gate of the back mountain courtyard by attacking Li Hukongdang's body.

Li Hu frowned, the big knife in the black-faced strong man's hand went straight to the door to slash, and he could easily avoid it in normal times, and launched a counterattack, at this time, the injured thigh was numb for a while, and he could only hold the knife in both hands.
At this time, Lin Feng should shoot to kill the big black man who posed a threat to Li Hu, maybe he only needs a knife, just such a short fight, the water dragon recognizes himself to escape, with his own water nature, when he gets to the water, he is his own world.
If you make a mistake, you will be punished.
At the moment when the water dragon retreated behind Li Hu, Lin Feng had already arrived, and the knife slashed directly at the water dragon, which was faster and more ruthless than the previous one.
"You."
The next word of the water dragon had not yet been issued, the double fork in his hand was only half raised, his eyes were wide, and he saw the knife in Lin Feng's hand, and he slowly turned his body.
A blood mark quickly appeared, from the top of the head all the way down, and the knife hit directly from top to bottom, until he died, this trough gang leader in the Taiping Mansion couldn't believe that his every calculation was seen through by the other party.
This is the biggest gap between the winners and the losers.
Out of the knife and fell to the ground, Li Hu knelt on one knee, bleeding too much from the wound, just struggling to support, and his body had reached the limit, "Leave it to me here." ”
Lin Feng walked past Li Hu and patted the other party's shoulder, the dragon died in the water, and the rest of the people in the groove gang suddenly panicked, one person moved slowly, the long sword in the hand of the flying swallow was instantly stabbed, and the toes quickly rushed out from the momentum of the three people, and they were surrounded by people, just like an eagle losing its wings, there was no space advantage, and the light skill could not be performed at all.
Poof, at the moment when the flying swallow's figure jumped, his left hand shook, and two hidden weapons shot out from behind, hitting the throats of the two people accurately.
"Lin Feng is still alive!"
On Tang Niu's side, Lin Feng blocked the attack of dozens of people by himself, and under the all-out offensive of Lu Jun and others, the frontal attack on the island camp was defeated and retreated.
The reinforcement camp of the water dragon has not appeared for a long time, and the leader is so angry that he stomps his feet, how to explain to the adults after he goes back, maybe he shouldn't think about such a problem now, and it is not certain whether he can escape or not.
The front camp was defeated, and at this time, the thieves were killed by attacking the groove from the back mountain, "My lord, my humble duty is wrong. Xiao He was also covered in blood, and came to Lin Feng with a bloody scimitar in his hand, because his momentary thoughts almost harmed everyone.
"Fix it as soon as possible."
Several figures went straight to the front camp, Tang Niu jumped down, punched one person away, and the person at the head was escorted by seven or eight people to flee for his life, "If you want to run, there is no door." ”
Tang Niu used a move to pounce on the hungry tiger, and his legs approached instantly, "Stop him, there will be a reward." ”
Go to the mother's reward, your life is going to be gone, who cares about this, at this time, I just want to escape my name, who cares if you are an official or not, only your life is your own.
The remaining few people squeezed down, the originally spacious mountain road became extremely crowded at this time, the body of the chief official was unstable, the whole person rolled down, this time the fall was not light, bent over and tried to get up, I don't know who pushed it, and rolled down again.
"Where to run?"
The cold scimitar appeared in front of him, the man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, the official position was not small, the Taiping Mansion Zuo Tongzhi, responsible for the punishment of the entire Taiping Mansion, holding the power of life and death, kneeling on the ground at this moment, looking at the bloody scimitar, waiting for others to pronounce the sentence.
"Spare your life, spare your life."
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"Taiping Mansion Zuo Tongzhi, I came to inspect on the orders of my lord."
"Patrolling? I'm afraid it's to destroy the evidence. ”
Zuo Tongzhi had already guessed the identities of these people, Lin Feng shouted angrily, and was so frightened that he was shocked, he knew how many bad things he had done with the government order over the years, and any one of them was enough to kill his head and rob his family.
"No, no."
"Those grains in the back mountain, even if they can be burned at this moment, they will be destroyed to exempt you from responsibility, and the hearts of the common people are cold, who can cover the heat?"
"Humble duty knows mistakes, and only wants to die."
Zuo Tongzhi knelt on the ground, the death penalty could not be escaped, if his death could save the family from disaster, death may be the best way.
"It's not that easy, Lin Feng was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Taiping Mansion case, and he will never kill a good person by mistake, let alone let a bad person go."
Zuo Tongzhi lay on the ground with a soft body, but he didn't expect that at this point, begging for death is a luxury, "Even if you kill me a hundred times and thousands of times, you can't resist the crime you committed, just ask the adults to be merciful and let my wife and children go, they are innocent." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's laws and regulations are extremely strict, one person violates the law, especially this kind of high-ranking private benefits that cause a very bad impact, it is definitely a major crime of raiding the house and destroying the door, and the people involved must be beheaded, and most of the others are reduced to slaves or distributed to build city walls on the border, which is almost equivalent to a dead end.
If the decree is not so, the Ming Dynasty will only re-follow the old road of the Great Yuan Dynasty, try to ask the dynasties, all of them are corrupt officials rampant kings have no way, resulting in the people living poorly, in order to survive, they can only take up arms to resist, which leads to chaos in the world.
"Whether you can do it or not is yours and not me." Lin Feng pointed out in his words that at this moment, Xiao He and the others cleaned up the mess on the island, and those who were seriously injured and did not lose their breath simply made up for it.
"I said that all the grain on the island was official food from the hands of the people."
"Since it's official grain, why don't you put it in the government granary?"
Zuo Tongzhi sighed, "My lord doesn't know, every year the grain handed over by the Taiping Mansion will be surplus except for the part handed over to the imperial court, and I am worried that it will be too ostentatious to stay in the treasury, so the adults will send someone to send the grain here, and then the people of the trough gang will sell it." ”
"Why is there a surplus every year, isn't it levied according to the proportion promulgated by the imperial court?"
Zuo Tongzhi nodded, "The proportion of the imperial court is different every year, in order to pay as little as possible, the government will increase the number of villages and towns affected by the disaster, and the actual amount of grain collected is exactly the same as every year, even if it is less, someone from above needs to fill the granary on the surface, and the other granaries are filled with firewood and grass, and no one will look at it at all." ”
"If that's the case, the amount of grain handed over to the imperial court every year should be commensurate."
"This is simple, as long as you sprinkle water on the grain handed in, the number of catties is naturally enough, and when it is put into the warehouse, no one will find out at all."
For Lin Feng's question, Zuo Tongzhi answered like a fluent, worthy of being an official, reading a lot, and his head is also easy to use, using such a method, there are by no means a small number of grains that profit from it every year, and the emergence of the trough gang also provides convenience for selling grain, especially in the case of a famine year, the price of grain has risen sharply, and the people are hungry to save the grain they have handed over, and finally they have to buy it back with silver.
"Moths, rats, vampires." None of these words can describe these people who have no regard for the lives of ordinary people.
Zuo Tongzhi sat on the ground with his head down, from the moment he got the silver, he had thought that there would be such a fate as today, but unfortunately, he couldn't resist the temptation of the silver at all, and could only fall into it again and again, dreaming that he would not be discovered.
On the official road leading to the capital, two carriages were parked together, surrounded by soldiers on war horses, holding spears to guard the surroundings, and Zhu Yunwen was escorted from the carriage.
Qi Taitima came closer, "Little prince." ”
"Open."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted in the back, and when Tu County Ling sat inside, his expression was peaceful, if he didn't look carefully, he would only think that he was asleep sitting inside, but unfortunately, his eyes that had been closed made his heart tight.
A person flew up and jumped up, came to the front, shook his hand slightly, and his originally straight head hung down instantly, although the person was prepared, he was still startled, took a deep breath, his fingers approached, and he was out of breath at this time.
"Dead."
"How is that possible!"
Zhu Yunwen's face was pale, and there was nothing to do all the way, accompanied by the cavalry escorted by Guo Xiao along the way, not only did he not find anything abnormal, but no one approached, and at this time, Dangtu County, who followed him into Beijing, died in a sedan chair.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen was more afraid, although there was a difference in the size of the two sedan chairs, they were always covered with a curtain along the way, once the murderer made a mistake, wouldn't the person who died at this time be himself.
