Chapter 31 Catching a Turtle in an Urn

In the night sky, a crescent moon hangs high, the breeze blows, and the town of Whitewater is shrouded in a peaceful scene in the quiet moonlight. The fastest and most stable update is to see the latest chapter of Perfect World.

At this moment, the residents of Baishui Town in their sleep would never have thought that the battle between the Inspection Division and the water bandits had already begun.

As time passed, whether it was the sergeants of the Inspection Department or the people of the Chen family and the Zhang family, they all smelled an unprecedented tense atmosphere, which made the atmosphere at the scene a little dull and depressing.

Soon after, under the cover of night, more than twenty large and small boats appeared on the lake in the distance, and quickly headed for a small pier outside the town, which could quickly reach the Chen family's warehouse outside the town.

"The bandits are here, go and inform the inspector to prepare." In a bush near the dock, more than twenty sergeants from the Inspection Division were hiding, and a sergeant looked at the back of the ship and gave a deep order to a sergeant beside him.

The sergeant immediately got up and sped away into the distant night.

Li Yuntian asked Zhao Hua to arrange manpower at this wharf, and when the warehouse side fought, he would take down the bandits guarding the boat, which not only prevented the bandits watching the ship from escaping back to their lair to report the news, but also cut off the retreat of the bandits who were fighting with the inspection department.

More than 20 ships docked one after another, and the bandits gathered on the dock, with more than 200 people, each carrying swords and other weapons in their hands, and a burly bearded man rushed towards the direction of the Chen family's warehouse.

A dozen or so sailors stayed behind to watch the boat, talking on the dock with a relaxed expression, and they never imagined that the sergeant of the inspection department was lying in ambush nearby.

The Chen family's warehouse is located at the head of a village outside Baishui Town, and it is a small courtyard with several rows of bungalows, which are usually used to stack some goods such as grain and cloth.

There was a small forest hundreds of meters away on the side of the warehouse, and the sergeants of the Inspection Department led by Zhao Hua were silently ambushed there.

"Brothers, the county lord is not thin on us, even if we don't do it for the face of the inspection department, we must be worthy of the kindness of the county lord."

After receiving the news from the wharf, Zhao Hua told the chief under his command that Wang San was going to attack the Chen family's warehouse, looked at them coldly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu doesn't say much, those who kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions are rewarded, if anyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, and escapes from the battle, then don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will swear to fight to the death against the water bandits." The elders looked at each other in amazement when they heard this, they didn't expect to fight with the water bandits, and then they all bowed their hands to Zhao Hua and said.

"Go ahead with the plan!" Zhao Hua bowed slightly when he heard this, and gave an order in a deep voice.

The chiefs then bowed their hands again and walked away, each arranging his own business.

Under the guidance of the commanders, the sergeants of the Inspection Division soon learned about the battle against Wang San and his gang of bandits, which made the atmosphere at the scene depressing, and everyone's faces showed nervous looks.

Looking at the young faces around him, Zhao Hua knew that the sergeants must be scared now, this is a normal phenomenon, thinking that when he first went to the battlefield, his legs were weak with fright, but he was kicked by a veteran soldier on the buttocks, and after fighting with the enemy with a knife, he forgot about his fear, because his mind was blank, and he had no idea except killing the enemy.

After the battle, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Zhao Hua vomited a lot of meat and eight vegetables, and he was never afraid of the battlefield since then.

After half a cup of tea, the bandits appeared in Zhao Hua's sight surrounded by the bearded man, although it was far away, he still recognized at a glance that the bearded man was Wang San's brother-in-law Wei Kun, and the two had fought before.

Zhao Hua's brows quickly furrowed, because he found that there was no Wang San among the water bandits, which made him feel a little disappointed.

When he came to the gate of the warehouse yard, Wei Kun found that the door of the yard was locked, maybe the people guarding the warehouse went to which kiln to fool around, so he asked people to smash the lock open and swaggered in.

When the bandits entered the courtyard, Zhao Hua waved his hand, and the sergeant of the Inspection Division who was ambushed in the grove immediately quietly walked towards the warehouse in the night.

Wei Kun didn't know which warehouse the gold, silver, and jade artifacts Wang Sanxin mentioned were in, so the bandits smashed open the door of the warehouse one by one and went in to search.

Just as Wei Kun was sitting on a chair in the courtyard with a leisurely face, waiting for the bandits to find the gold, silver and jade artifacts, a sharp sound suddenly sounded in the quiet night sky, and a small red bright spot rose in the night sky outside the courtyard wall.

As he watched in amazement, the small red bright spot exploded with a bang after rising to its highest point, forming a dazzling cloud of fireworks that lit up the night sky around him.

Fireworks of different colors bloomed in the air one by one, which was extremely beautiful, causing the water bandits in the courtyard to look up one after another.

"Who? Whoever *** sets off fireworks, Lao Tzu is going to chop him! Wei Kun quickly came back to his senses, he thought that his own people had released it, and he couldn't help but be furious, which clearly revealed their traces.

"Kill!" As soon as his words fell, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing all around.

With a dense rain of arrows, the water bandits guarding the door fell to a pulp, and the rest hurriedly hid in the courtyard and held the courtyard gate to death.

"What's going on?" Wei Kun's face turned ugly, and he asked in a loud voice at the water bandit who had fled from outside the courtyard gate and had been pierced by an arrow in his arm.

"The second master, no, the officers and soldiers are coming outside." The bandit clutched the wound on his arm and breathed in pain.

"Crossbow?" Wei Kun looked at the arrow on the bandit's arm, his eyes showed a look of shock, he knew that the bow and arrow could not cause such a serious injury, it seemed that the other party was using a crossbow.

And the crossbow bow is only used by the sergeants of Jiujiangwei in Jiujiang Mansion, and the Baishui Town Inspection Department does not have this kind of high-end goods at all, could it be that the officers and soldiers outside are Jiujiangwei's people?

Just as Wei Kun was guessing the identity of the people outside, some black jars were thrown from outside the courtyard walls around the warehouse, fell to the ground and shattered one after another, and the liquid inside splashed on many people's bodies, and an unpleasant smell immediately filled the air.

"Kerose!" Wei Kun's hand happened to splash some, he leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it, his face turned pale in an instant.

The rest of the bandits also found out that the liquid flowing around on the ground was fire oil, and immediately panicked, if the officers and soldiers outside set a fire, then they would all become roast suckling pigs.

"What should I do if I am in charge?" A water bandit approached Wei Kun with a frightened expression.

"Without further ado, rush out." Wei Kun made a decision immediately, his eyes flashed fiercely, and then he pulled out the knife hanging from his waist, "Otherwise, everyone will die here." ”

Immediately, under the leadership of several leaders, the bandits opened the gate and rushed out.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, the crossbowmen and archers of the Inspection Division lined up in a fan, standing in three rows in front and back, with crossbows in the front two rows and bows and arrows in the back row.

Seeing those water bandits rushing out, Zhao Hua waved his hand, and the three rows of sergeants released arrows in turn in an orderly manner.

In the dense rain of arrows, the water bandits who rushed out were shot down one after another, which made the water bandits behind them frightened and closed the gate again.

The water bandits' attack lost forty or fifty people, in addition to more than twenty people who were shot dead, more than a dozen were wounded and fell outside the courtyard gate in agony.

Zhao Hua didn't let people drag away those injured water bandits, which could exert huge psychological pressure on the water bandits in the yard.

"The second master, their arrows are too powerful, we can't rush out." A water bandit leader came to Wei Kun rather wolfishly, if he hadn't grabbed one of his subordinates in front of him and shot that subordinate into a hedgehog, then he would have died.

Wei Kun's face was terrifyingly gloomy, if there were so many crossbowmen and archers, then there must be a lot of officers and soldiers outside, and it would be difficult to rush out.

"Listen, the people inside, we could have set a fire to burn you to death, but God has the virtue of a good life, and we adults don't want to do this, so now give you a chance to put down your weapons and surrender."

At this time, a shout came from outside the courtyard wall, "If not, don't blame us for being polite." ”

With this sound, there was a lot of light outside the surrounding courtyard walls, and it seemed that a lot of torches were lit.

This made the bandits even more panicked, as long as those torches were thrown in, the courtyard would be in flames, and they would all be burned alive here.

"Our lord has an order, and those who arrest the leader of the bandits will be punished by one degree! Those who have no life in their hands will be exiled from death! Then the man from before shouted again.

Hearing this, some of the bandits couldn't help but look at Wei Kun, their eyes full of strange looks.

"Don't listen to their gossip to confuse the crowd!" Wei Kun's heart suddenly sank, he didn't know what those guys were thinking, raised the knife in his hand, and roared fiercely, "The cases we committed before must not be alive, only by rushing out can we have a way to live." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a few whoosh sounds, and several arrows and rockets with flaming flames came in and landed on the roof of the warehouse, causing a commotion in the courtyard, and the bandits were so frightened that they retreated.

"Next time, these arrows will fall in the courtyard, whether you are dead or alive, you can figure it out for yourself." The man outside shouted again, warning the bandits in the courtyard.

"Do you believe what the government says? They are lying to you, and if you are caught, you will definitely die. Wei Kun's face became extremely ugly, and he yelled at the surrounding water bandits.

"My family is the magistrate of Hukou County, and he has always spoken with his word, do you believe in my family, or do you believe in Wei Kun, the bandit leader? He can't escape death anyway, do you want to be buried with him? At this point, the man outside the wall said in an untimely voice.
