That night, the wind and snow were so heavy that I couldn't see the road clearly. Wu Zhutou and Song Zhutou were very nervous, and they urged everyone to be vigilant, be careful, and hold on until dawn, so that they could reach Bazhou City and make a difference. However, as their team climbed a mountain along the winding, narrow, snow-covered official road, bandits dressed in black clothes and masked scarves appeared in the snowstorm.

Although there are only a dozen bandits, they are all extraordinary, especially the old man with triangular eyes, a simple knife is simply invincible, Wu Zhutou and Song Zhutou are not his opponents together, and both of them are colored. Coupled with the twists and turns of the mountain road, their team could only stretch into a long line, and after encountering the enemy, they could not form an encirclement. So they couldn't take advantage of their numbers, and the blizzard also hindered their view. The bandits concentrated their forces on raiding the middle of them, and when the people in front and behind knew that something had happened, the soap Li who escorted the tax money and the prisoner cart in the middle had already been killed by these bandits. Fortunately, these bandits didn't seem to want to hurt their lives, and they fell to the ground, and they didn't kill them.

After the old man saw that his companion had hijacked several boxes of silver coins, he broke away from the war group and calmly retreated into the blizzard.

Wu Zhutou and Song Zhutou knew that they were merciful and did not dare to pursue, even if they caught up, they would die in vain. Hurry up and count the losses, and under this look, I can't help but complain again and again. Several large boxes of silver were robbed, and the prisoners Ding Zhutou and Lai Yuanwai were all killed in the prisoner car!

These people are just robbing the money, why should they kill the prisoner instead of saving the prisoner?

Wu Zhutou and Song Zhutou were cold in their hearts, how could they explain this to the magistrate!

If you can't explain it, you have to explain it, so you have to make up the money. It's just that even if the people in the yamen make up this huge amount of money, it is only a drop in the bucket, because these people in the yamen are almost all poor, and they are still tight to support their families, so how can they have any money to make up?

Wu Zhutou untied a horse from the prisoner's car with a heavy heart, rode it himself, and braved the wind and snow to urgently return to Yinling County to report, Song Zhutou took the prisoner's corpse, as well as the injured soap Li to catch the people and the people, and continued to rush to Bazhou in the wind and snow. It is necessary to urgently report the hijacking of prisoner cars and taxes to the prefect of Bazhou, so that the murderer can be apprehended and the injured brother can be treated.

Wu Zhutou was annoyed and ashamed. On the same day, he rushed back to Yinling County in the evening.

However, when he arrived at the county office, he was dumbfounded, because Qiu Hong, the chief secretary of the yamen, was also looking for Leng Yi of Zhixian County,—— the eldest lord of Zhixian Leng Yi was gone, and his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang was also gone.

When they heard that the money had been robbed again, everyone was dumbfounded. Asked everywhere where the county magistrate went, and finally, he boldly entered the inner house of the county, and found that the bedroom of the inner house was messy on the ground, and the blue bricks that were originally laid on the ground were gone. Will be back in a few days.

Of course, Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang would not go to Weifu for a private visit, at this moment, the two of them were braving the wind and snow, walking on the mountain trail to Bazhou.

The tax silver may be robbed again, which Leng Yi had already expected. used Li Daitao's stiff trick to drop the bag, so the tax that was robbed on the way by Wu Zhutou and their escort was actually several large boxes of green bricks.

When he replaced the magistrate in Bazhou, he encountered a middle-aged man's forced confession, and he felt that the magistrate he replaced might be in trouble. Late at night when he returned to the county office, he found that someone had infiltrated the yamen's own inner house to investigate. He climbed the tree and saw through the night vision device of the sniper rifle that it was a masked old man with triangular eyes, and he was very skilled. In addition, the tax was previously infiltrated into the yamen and robbed, and he was worried that he would repeat the mistake this time. So set up a Li Daitao stalemate game.

In his own bedroom in the inner house, he and Zhuo Qiaoniang took out all the silver and replaced it with the green bricks in the room. Then, when the big creditors in the city come to collect the debt. Through prior understanding with Master Dong, a creditor named Zhuang Jincai was selected. This man is one of the richest businessmen in Yinling County, and he has a business name in Bazhou and nearby prefectures and counties. And the people are very sincere.

During the Song Dynasty, there was the earliest paper money in China, or the world, "Jiaozi", but that was during the reign of Renzong, that is, a few decades later. At this time, there was no Jiaozi yet. There are no silver tickets either. There were only copper coins and ingots, and a small amount of gold.

After some negotiation with this rich businessman, Leng Yi felt that he was very reliable, so he discussed with him and asked him to exchange all tax silver ingots for gold ingots, and told him to keep it secret. Zhuang Jincai naturally agreed. One tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver, and after doing the math, several large boxes of silver ingots can be exchanged for a small box of gold, which is easy to carry.

Leng Yi asked him to ask his servants to pretend to be migrant workers and work on the streets, and he invited these migrant workers under the pretext of building an inner house, of course, Zhuang Jincai was also among them, under the cover of a snowstorm that could not see people a few steps away, he used building materials as a cover to carry a box of gold ingots of equal value into the yamen, and carried the boxes of silver back to Zhuang Jincai's house.

Whether to bring Zhuo Qiaoniang, Leng Yi took a lot of thought. After the mysterious triangular-eyed man in black sneaked into the inner house quietly that night, he finally decided to take Zhuo Qiaoniang and join the middle-aged man who first forced a confession from him and the triangular-eyed man in black are in the same group, then they are asking about something very important in the county magistrate he replaced, but he doesn't know what it is, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not hold Zhuo Qiaoniang hostage to force a confession from him.

He had already vowed to take good care of the family in Nazhi County, and he couldn't let Zhuo Qiaoniang do anything, so although it was a bit cumbersome to take Zhuo Qiaoniang, he still made this decision.

He showed Zhuo Qiaoniang the box of gold and told her that in order to prevent being hijacked again, he decided to personally carry the gold from the path to Fucheng. I need her help to escort it together.

Zhuo Qiaoniang didn't expect her husband to ask a woman's family for help, so she was really flattered and hurriedly agreed.

So, Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang dressed up as migrant workers in coarse cloth jackets, used the snowstorm as a cover, carried the small box of gold ingots on their backs with baskets, and his precious sniper rifle, mixed in the migrant worker team, and left the inner house. And quietly went out of the city, braved the snow and took the road to Bazhou.

After being exchanged for gold, the volume of the tax has been reduced to one-tenth of the original, but the gold is originally heavier than silver, so the gold in this small box is still very heavy. Zhuo Qiaoniang wanted to help him carry it, but he didn't agree, so he had to look at him distressed.

To make matters worse, on the day they set off, the snow was still average, and they spent the night in a small village, and when they continued the next day, the snow began to get heavier and heavier.

In the evening, the wind and snow turned into a blizzard, and no one could stand.

At this time, they happened to be walking on a high post, the wind was stronger, Leng Yi saw Zhuo Qiaoniang staggering as if she was about to be blown away, for fear that she would be blown off the cliff, and finally reached out and grabbed her hand. Her hands were as stiff and cold as ice sculptures. Leng Yi knew that if she stayed in this snowstorm any longer, Zhuo Qiaoniang would freeze to death.

He pulled Zhuo Qiaoniang and asked her to hide behind a big tree that could block the wind and snow, and hugged the basket with gold and rifles, and then he climbed the big tree and looked up. Through the gaps in the blizzard, but the wind and snow are too big, and the visibility is not high, so I can't see clearly.

He pulled out the night vision device of his sniper rifle from his bosom and began to look closely.

Before setting off that morning, he noticed that the weather was very bad, so he made a plan and took out the night vision device of his sniper rifle and carried it in his arms. The blizzard is dimly lit and the visibility is very low, so it is not much different from the night, and it is just right to use. Now it's just the right time to use it.

Through the night vision goggles, after some careful observation, he saw that in front of him, there was a place slightly darker than the surrounding light, which seemed to be a relatively large building complex, probably a village.
