"Hukou County magistrate?"

"It's the one who was scared out by the head of the big boss.

A must-have for chasing books"

"I heard that he took all the blame last time."

"I have a cousin who carries sacks at the docks of Whitewater, and the people in Whitewater seem to have a good reputation for him."

……

Knowing that Li Yuntian was the "adult" in the mouth of the outside, the bandits suddenly made a commotion and whispered about it.

"Don't be fooled by his rhetoric, this person hates us after what happened last time, how can he give us a way to live, he wants to step on our heads and climb up."

Wei Kun thought that the person who could invite Jiujiangwei was at least an official at the level of Tongzhi, but he didn't expect it to be Li Yuntian, and he was suddenly surprised in his heart, and at the same time panicked, and shouted to the bandits.

Although he thinks that Li Yuntian is a cowardly and cowardly straw bag, he has to admit that after experiencing the incident of the water bandits in Baishui Town last time, Li Yuntian not only has a good reputation in Hukou County, but also has become the talk of the water bandits in their spare time, thinking that he is an out-and-out fool.

However, at this time, Li Yuntian's "stupidity" played a fatal role in Wei Kun, aside from Li Yuntian's ability, at least he dared to act and would not pass the responsibility on his subordinates, and he had a very good character, which made him invisibly gain the trust of those water bandits.

"I'm going to hit dozens of times now, if no one surrenders after ten strokes, then we're going to throw torches, ten, nine, ......" As soon as Wei Kun's words fell, the people outside the wall began to issue an ultimatum.

The water bandits were in a hurry when they heard the words, and they had been forced to a dead end at this time, which could be said to have no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the ground, and they were trapped and died in the courtyard.

"Listen, everyone, rush out with me and fight with them." Wei Kun knew that now that it was a critical juncture, he would definitely be unable to escape death, and naturally he would not surrender, so he raised his knife and yelled, wanting to encourage the bandits to rush out, maybe he could escape while he was in chaos.

"Don't throw torches, I surrender!" The next moment, an inopportune voice sounded, and the water bandits at the scene invariably looked at a stout water bandit.

"It's better to die than to live, you, you, and you, have never killed anyone, why should you send them to death if you can live?" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the stout water bandit turned his heart sideways, pointed to a few water bandits on the side and said.

"Come on, cut this thing for Lao Tzu." Wei Kun didn't expect someone to betray him at this time, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he pointed at the stout water bandit and said. The update is the fastest and most stable

The two henchmen standing beside him immediately carried knives and walked towards the stout bandits with a fierce attitude.

Seeing that the two of them were about to come to the stout bandits, the three bandits who had been pointed at by the stout bandits held the knives in their hands and protected them behind them, confronting the two.

"Do you want to rebel?" Seeing this, Wei Kun's heart sank, and he said viciously, he knew that if he couldn't control the situation now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"We didn't kill anyone, so why should we accompany you to death!" A tall and thin water bandit who was protecting in front of the stout water bandit glanced at Wei Kun, and then several people slowly retreated to the door, preparing to go out and surrender.

"Chop these demagoguery, ungrateful bastards into meat sauce." Wei Kun was immediately shocked when he saw this, and pointed at the thin and tall water bandit and the others and shouted.

If it had been left in the past, the water bandits at the scene would definitely have swarmed and stabbed the thin and tall water bandits into pieces, but everyone was not stupid, and in the current situation, there was no way to survive except to surrender.

After all, there are only a small number of water bandits who have had human lives on their hands, and the rest of the water bandits are not doing some extortion, robbing homes and houses, and killing people is not something that anyone can do.

The shape of the scene immediately changed, and most of the bandits began to flock to the thin and tall bandits and others.

However, instead of facing the thin and tall water bandit, they turned their backs to him, stepping back step by step, carrying knives in their hands and looking at Wei Kun and the others vigilantly.

"You ...... You ........." Wei Kun didn't expect so many people to betray him, his face turned pale and pointed at the water bandits who were about to surrender, and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

According to the order of the sergeant of the inspection department outside the door, the thin and tall bandits and others threw away the weapons in their hands, lined up in two columns, walked out with their heads in their hands, and were taken away and detained by a group of sergeants.

At this time, there were still thirty or forty water bandits in the courtyard such as Wei Kun with lives in their hands, standing there at a loss, and they couldn't rush out with such a small number of people.

"Listen, do you want to catch Wei Kun for meritorious service? If not, we're going to set fire! Just when everyone felt dazed, a voice came from outside the wall.

Wei Kun was shocked when he heard this, this was clearly to provoke them to infighting, and hurriedly looked at the surrounding bandits, and couldn't help but clench the knife in his hand.

"Yes, don't set fire, we'll arrest Wei Kun." Under his gaze, a strong man with a scar on his face suddenly slashed over a water bandit on the side, shouting at the outside of the wall.

"Scar Liu, what do you want to do?" Wei Kun was taken aback, and said to the strong man, he can treat this person well on weekdays.

"The second master, you are dead, how can you leave a way for your brothers to live!" Scar Liu smiled gloomily and aimed the knife at Wei Kun.

Seeing this, more than a dozen water bandits immediately protected Wei Kun's surroundings, they were Wei Kun's henchmen, so naturally they would not betray him.

The rest of the water bandits were like Scar Liu, aiming their knives at Wei Kun and the others.

Now the water bandits in the courtyard are all outlaws, and at the moment of life and death, who will care about the friendship of the past, and the most important thing is to survive.

"Kill!" The two sides confronted each other for a while, and I don't know who shouted, and a scuffle ensued in the courtyard.

"My lord's trick to drive away the wolf, it's really high!" Zhao Hua, who was standing behind the crossbow archers and archers, couldn't help but secretly praise himself when he heard the fierce fighting and screams coming from the courtyard, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Soon after, a group of people hurried over from the direction of Baishui Town, and Li Yuntian led the people on the dock to rush to reinforcements after seeing Zhao Hua set off fireworks.

After seeing those water bandits squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, Li Yuntian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the general trend had been decided.

Chen Bozhao looked very excited, Wang San's gang of water bandits was completely finished, and when Wei Kun, who was dying and struggling in the yard, the next step was to smash their lair.

Zhang Youcai was stunned, he never expected that those water bandits would be so vulnerable and become prisoners in an instant.

If...... If Wang San or Wei Kun are captured alive, then Zhang Youde's collusion with Wang San will be exposed, and he doesn't think the bandits will talk about friendship.

"My lord, Wang San has not appeared?" Zhao Hua had already learned from the surrendered bandits that Wang San had not shown up, and he regretfully reported to Li Yuntian.

"Where can this guy go?" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, looking a little disappointed.

"As long as you catch Wei Kun, then you can know his whereabouts." Zhao Hua said in a deep voice.

"Inspector Zhao, your inspection department has made great contributions tonight, and this official will definitely give you credit." When Li Yuntian heard this, his brows slowly relaxed, and he said with a smile.

"It's the adults who command well, and the lowly position is just acting according to orders." Zhao Hua's face couldn't help but blush, and he said with shame, all the plans were from Li Yuntian's hands, and he was just an executor at best.

"Zhao Patrol is too modest." Li Yuntian smiled, then looked up at the courtyard of the warehouse, where he stood quietly waiting for the battle inside to end.

"Don't let go of the arrows, we caught the bandit leader Wei Kun!" The sound of fighting in the courtyard gradually stopped, and with a shout, Scar Liu appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and behind him, two big men escorted Wei Kun, who was covered in blood and his hands were tied.

After a fierce fight, only four of the thirty or forty people in the courtyard were left at this time.

"This official reminds you that Wei Kun has only one person, so naturally he can only reduce the guilt of one person, have you figured out who will receive this credit?" Zhao Hua glanced at Li Yuntian, who was expressionless, his eyes narrowed, and he said meaningfully to Scar Liu, this was what Li Yuntian had specially instructed him before.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, the guys who can hold out to the end are definitely covered with blood, since they will all die sooner or later, it is better to end them as soon as possible, so as not to delay until the autumn decision, and can also save a few rations.

Hearing this, Scarface immediately understood what Zhao Hua meant, and without saying a word, he turned around and slashed a few knives to kill the two water bandits behind him, then threw down the knife and raised his hands high.

As soon as Zhao Hua waved his hand, the sergeant of the Inspection Division rushed forward and pressed Wei Kun and Scarface to the ground.

Zhang Youcai's face turned pale with a brush, his worries just now finally became a reality, Wei Kun was actually captured alive!

Li Yuntian glanced at Zhang Youcai seemingly unintentionally, and saw that his face was ugly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a sneer.

"My lord, the bandit leader Wei Kun has been captured, in order to prevent the leakage of news and the bandits' nest to escape, I humbly asked for orders to bring people into the bandits' nest." Zhao Hua glanced at Wei Kun, who was escorted over, and asked Li Yuntian for instructions in a deep voice, looking quite high-spirited.

He already knew the location of Wang San's lair from those water bandits, not to mention Jiujiang Mansion, but looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for an inspection department to enter and suppress a large group of bandits like Wang San.

This is not that Zhao Hua is arrogant, but that the elite of Wang San's gang of water bandits has been annihilated here by him, and the rest are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, so there is nothing to fear.

"Wang San's bandit's nest has been in business for a long time, and there are a large number of people, so wait for Li Manshan to come and gather troops to fight again." Li Yuntian would not let Zhao Hua live alone, besides, there were many people in the bandit's nest plus his family, and it was difficult to control the situation with the manpower of the Inspection Division, so he muttered for a while and then opened his mouth and ordered, "Immediately send someone to inform the magistrate of Pengze County where the location of Wang San's bandit's nest is." ”

Zhao Hua didn't dare to argue, and called a Wu chief of the inspection department to confess, and the Wu chief led a subordinate to leave in a hurry and went to Pengze County to report the news.
