Looking at the guards of these Cao Gangs, they dared to provoke the majesty of the government and raise their swords to fight. Zhao Xiaoxi knew in his heart that because of the collusion between these corrupt officials and the salt merchant gang, the authority of the government had been wiped out. Seeing that they have no scruples to fight for their lives, it is not once or twice that they want to kill soldiers. Such outlaws, if they are not eradicated, how can they talk about the majesty of the national law and imperial power.

In the face of the forbidden officers and soldiers shouting 'Lord Qincha', the leader of the sword-wielding guard only hesitated a little and slashed with his sword. Zhao Xiaoxi was already in his heart, and he ordered the Cao gang who supported these outlaws. Compared with rectifying the salt gang, Zhao Xiaoxi will take into account the other party's deep-rooted roots in Jiangnan, and he really doesn't care about a Cao gang.

'Stand down, all the soldiers! You don't have to keep your mouth alive, dare to provoke the royal forbidden army, punish the nine clans, and kill without mercy! ’

Zhao Xiaoxi, who threw out this sentence, looked at the long sword that stabbed straight in, and lifted the Shang Fang sword he was wearing at his waist. Gently raised his hand to block the sword that stabbed the opponent to open the stall, and just when the opponent was about to backhand another sword, Zhao Xiaoxi did not make a sword. The scabbard flew out and headed straight for the opponent's chest, a blow that was lightning fast.

When the head of the guard realized that the minister in front of him was not the white-faced scholar he imagined, but a martial artist with high martial arts. Looking at the scabbard that came back straight to his chest, he withdrew the long sword that was stabbed out to block the scabbard like a sword light. Just when he withdrew his sword and returned to defense, Zhao Xiaoxi's unsheathed sword had already attacked.

After a few rounds of the two long swords, the leader of the guards looked at the other party's sword technique as fast as a sword, and just as he was about to retreat, he felt a pain in the tiger's mouth. The long sword clenched in his hand had already fallen to the ground with a 'clang'. And the tip of a sword that shone with cold air was already pressed to his throat, and he didn't even have time to dodge.

'Now let your men lay down their weapons, and Rao Er wait for a whole corpse!' ’

Such bloody and cold words made the leader of the guards stunned for a moment but said very calmly: "Since sooner or later they are all dead, what is the use of not having all the corpses?" If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

'If you want to be a hero, then this king will fulfill you!' ’

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't think about it at all, and the sword blade rushed forward and pierced the opponent's throat. Let the leader of the guard, who had thought he was playing heroic, clutch his throat and fell to the ground with a stunned expression.

The other outlaws who watched it also had a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox. Although they knew in their hearts that there would be such a day sooner or later when they embarked on this road, when the day came, they found that they could not hide their fear.

Killing the leader of the guards with a single sword, in order to reduce unnecessary damage from the forbidden army, Cho Hyo-seok wandered among the fighting crowd. The sword is overpowered, and the speed makes the forbidden army who followed it for the first time feel like it is out of reach. But compared to these outlaws who fell like mustard, they really realized that they had encountered a real martial arts master.

When he saw the fear in the eyes of these people, Zhao Xiaoxi roared: "If you don't put down your weapons and surrender, do you really want to raid your family and exterminate your clan?" ”

After the tiger roared, the outlaws, who were already huddled together, looked left and right. As the first man put down his weapon, the other outlaws, realizing that the tide was over, were under the threat of destroying their families. In the end, they chose to lay down their weapons and let the forbidden soldiers knock them over and detain them.

When Zhao Xiaoxi ordered the members of the military department to drive all the boatmen who were cowering on the salt boats ashore and gathered, they soon found that these dozens of boats were loaded with salt to be transported. And from the boss of the seized salt gang ship, he found the salt quotation document for the salt delivery, but found that the quantity and the ship were loaded with one heaven and one underground.

Watching the salt lead to the Lianghuai area, Zhao Xiaoxi knew in his heart that he had seized the evidence of these salt merchants selling illicit salt. After deducting the salt of such dozens of boats, presumably those people in the salt gang will also feel distressed! However, for Zhao Xiaoxi, the private salt on these salt ships in front of him gave him more of an excuse to attack the salt gang.

Cao Zhen, the deputy commander of the forbidden army, who ordered to rush to support, led a team of forbidden troops to the Cao Gang station to capture the Cao Gang leader who was still confused and did not know that the catastrophe was coming. The order given to Cao Zhen was also that the armed forces that dared to resist would be killed. At the same time, according to the list he provided, all the elders of the Cao Gang were taken down.

In addition, in order to avoid chaos among the disciples of the Cao Gang, Zhao Xiaoxi also ordered Wu Taibo, who had already reorganized the city defense army, to send the Sandu city defense army to be responsible for maintaining order. Tell those ordinary disciples of the Cao Gang what kind of felony the Cao Gang committed this time. If anyone dares to take the lead in stirring up trouble, they will be arrested and dealt with seriously, and their family members will be investigated for joint and several crimes.

Knowing that this old general has a high prestige among the people of Hangzhou, Zhao Xiaoxi believes that having him come forward to make a town is enough to deter those Cao Gang disciples who plan to gather people to make trouble. As for him, he took another cavalry of the forbidden army and went straight to the place where the salt merchants had already investigated, and the Wuwei Teahouse would meet those local snakes in the south of the Yangtze River.

Just now, I saw the officers and soldiers fighting with the escort team of the Cao Gang, and the salt merchant spies who were always staring at the dock rushed back to prepare to inform the bigwigs of the Chamber of Commerce. It's a pity that when the spies ran back to the hall, they hurriedly shouted, 'It's a big deal, the officers and soldiers have robbed our salt boat!' At that time, Zhao Xiaoxi led the cavalry of the forbidden army and had already rushed to this mansion.

Hearing the sound of the spies shouting, Lu Wuwei, the president of the Salt Merchants Association, realized that something was wrong, and other salt merchants, big and small, who heard what the spies were shouting clearly, also got up from their chairs all of a sudden, feeling that this time the trouble was really big. Not to mention that selling illicit salt is a capital crime, just these salt confiscated by the government are their reserve salt for several months, and that's all money!

Just when they were worried about the money and nervous when they learned that the private salt had been detained, the sound of horses' hooves resounded around the house, and they didn't wait for them to ask what was going on outside. Zhao Xiaoxi, who was riding on a horse, looked at the guards who were raising swords and said solemnly: "Bold fanatics, do you want to be punished by the Nine Clans?" Dare to draw a knife against this king and the forbidden army of the imperial court? Want to rebel? ”

As soon as he heard this, the guards in front of him, who had been hired by the salt merchant with a lot of money, also seemed a little hesitant. At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi continued: "The army stepped forward, and those who dared to stop it would be killed!" ”

The cavalry of the forbidden army, who turned over and dismounted, were directly attacked by several soldiers with bows and crossbows, aiming at the fearful guards. Taking advantage of these people's hesitation, the other cavalry directly collected their weapons and escorted them aside to wait for processing. The rest of the forbidden cavalry, as well as the members of the military department who were close to him, protected Zhao Xiaoxi to break into this salt merchant gathering place.

When the forbidden army that protected Zhao Xiaoxi met with the salt merchant who accompanied Lu Wuwei, the president of the Salt Chamber of Commerce, on the square of this mansion. Lu Wuwei looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was in the midst of everyone, and waved his hand very rationally to signal the salt merchants to stop, wanting to see what these officers and soldiers who seemed to them were not good at what they planned to do.

With Lu Wuwei's slightly calm gesture, Zhao Xiaoxi faced the calmness of the head of the Salt Chamber of Commerce, but said directly and coldly: "The army listened to the order, blocked all the entrances and exits of the teahouse, and forbade people from entering and leaving. All the personnel carrying weapons in the teahouse were escorted here to wait for disposal. Those who dare to resist will be punished on the spot! ”

'Obey! ’

The scattered forbidden troops quickly rushed into this teahouse where officials from Zhejiang Province had to be cautious when they came. drove all the servants and guards inside to the square, and were ordered to squat on the ground and not act rashly. And Zhao Xiaoxi, who finished saying this order, looked at these salt merchants with rich expressions with a very arrogant and domineering look.

originally expected Cho Hyo-seok to say something to them, but it turned out that the other party had no intention of talking to them at all. Lu Wuwei and the others knew that the young man in front of him was not a good man, and he was afraid that he had deliberately come to trouble them with his troops this time. Now it's up to them to see how they behave and get over the hurdle in front of them.

'The contemptible Lu Wuwei is the shopkeeper of the Wuwei Teahouse, and I don't know what offends the adults in the small shop that makes the adults so angry. ’

It is clear that when the matter comes to an end, there may be room for relaxation, and it is not good for them to drag on like this. Even if the other party wants to make trouble, Lu Wuwei thinks it's better to deal with the current level first.

If the other party arrests or kills all of them, the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, he is afraid that what will happen in the end is something that neither he nor the court official in front of him can predict. After all, Lu Wuwei believed that the other party would not be unaware of the consequences of killing the salt merchants, which the imperial court could not predict.

Facing Lu Wuwei as the shopkeeper of the teahouse, Zhao Xiaoxi sneered: "When did the dignified President of the Jiangnan Salt Merchants Association become the shopkeeper of this Wuwei Teahouse?" If President Lu still fools Ben Qincha with such prevarication, I'm afraid there will be nothing to talk about between us! Since Ben Chin Cha dared to bring troops in, you should know why Ben Chin Cha came. What does President Lu think? ”

Hearing that the young man who brought in the troops turned out to be the minister of the Qincha who investigated the tax issue in Jiangnan, Lu Wuwei and the others were also shocked. It was hard for them to believe that the imperial court would hand over a tax case that would cause a shock in Jiangnan officialdom and cause the people to suffer if it was not handled well.

It's just that they all know very well in their hearts that if they are replaced by those old and sophisticated court officials in the imperial court, they will serve as the ministers of the investigation this time. I'm afraid that it will be the same as before, and I will go back in vain.

can be replaced by this kind of young Qincha, who is a bit reckless and only cares about the results, is the opponent they are most afraid of facing. If you are not careful, it is possible to be ordered by the other party to click. If that's the case, then I really feel that death is too unjust and worthless!
