Chapter 33: A Great Victory
"Wei Kun, this official asks you, where is Wang San now?" Wei Kun was escorted to Li Yuntian, and the two sergeants knelt on the ground according to him, and Li Yuntian looked at him quietly.
A must-have for chasing books
"You are the magistrate of Hukou County?" Wei Kun saw Li Yuntian surrounded by everyone, and immediately knew his identity, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to be so young, he looked quite surprised, and then his eyes flashed fiercely, "If you want to find my brother-in-law, it's just wishful thinking, my brother-in-law will definitely avenge me, and he will definitely cut off your head when the time comes." ”
"It's just a quick tongue, so why bother with him." The sergeant on the side saw that Wei Kun was still so arrogant at this time, and was about to teach him a lesson, Li Yuntian waved his hand when he saw this, and asked Wei Kun to be taken to the inspection department for custody.
Looking at Wei Kun in the distance, Zhang Youcai was very anxious, although Wei Kun was hard-mouthed now, he might not be able to withstand the torture during the interrogation, and he might not be able to sell the Zhang family.
"Father-in-law, Zhang Gong, Inspector Zhao wants to lead troops into the bandits' nest, and I hope that the two of you will send some people to take care of the inspection department to detain those water bandits in case of accidents." After Wei Kun left, Li Yuntian glanced at Zhang Youcai quietly, and said to him and Chen Bozhao.
"My lord, those bandits are coming for my Chen family, and my Chen family disciples should assist Zhao to patrol and suppress the bandits, so that those water bandits know that my Chen family is not easy to bully." Chen Bozhao's face turned pale when he heard this, and he looked at Li Yuntian with a stern expression, "I also hope that my lord will allow my Chen family's children to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”
"Zhang Gong, what do you think?" Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and looked at Zhang Youcai, wanting to ask for his opinion.
"Since Brother Chen has this intention, then the villain will be the beauty of an adult, and my Zhang family will come to watch those bandits." Zhang Youcai's eyes suddenly lit up, this was exactly what he couldn't ask for, so he could secretly do something to deal with Wei Kun, so he replied with a smile.
"Then there is Lao Zhanggong." Li Yuntian laughed when he heard this, he just gave Zhang Youcai a chance to kill Wei Kun, which not only showed his trust in the Zhang family, but also made Zhang Youde not suspect him, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
What he was a little curious about now was what kind of method Zhang Youde and Zhang Youcai would use to kill Wei Kun.
When Li Yuntian returned to Baishui Town, he happened to meet Zhang Youde who came in a hurry by carriage on the street.
Zhang Youde saw that Li Yuntian and the others looked relaxed, and thought that the water bandits had not yet come to Baishui Town, but he didn't expect to learn the news that the water bandits who had invaded Baishui Town had been wiped out in the next moment, which made him shocked.
In Zhang Youde's opinion, although Zhao Hua's inspection department has increased a lot of strength with the support of Li Yuntian, it has not yet reached the point where it can annihilate Wang San's gang of water bandits.
But then he had to believe that more than a hundred dejected bandits were escorted past him by the sergeants of the Inspection Division.
As a result, the doctors brought by Zhang Youde were not treated by the sergeants of the Inspection Division, nor by the Zhang and Chen families, nor by the people of Baishui Town, but by more than 20 water bandits who were injured by crossbows and arrows.
Half an hour later, Li Manshan led his soldiers to patrol the city and rushed to meet the sergeants of the inspection department and the children of the Zhao family at the dock, so that the number of people who entered the bandits' nest exceeded 400, and the morale was high and the crowd was excited.
Li Yuntian led Chen Bozhao, Zhang Youde and others to see off the bandit team at the wharf, and before leaving, he told Zhao Hua and Li Manshan not to let their subordinates kill good people and kill innocent people indiscriminately.
In the quiet night, Zhao Hua and Li Manshan and their entourage took dozens of large and small ships and sailed towards Wang San's bandits' lair, and the people on the dock waved their hands to them, wishing them victory and success.
"Big brother, what should we do next?" On the way back to Zhang's house, in the carriage, Zhang Youcai looked at Zhang Youcai worriedly.
"Wei Kun must not stay!" Zhang Youde's face was gloomy and terrifying, and after a long time, a cold sentence burst out of his mouth.
"If he dies, how can we explain to the county lord?" Zhang Youcai's face showed a look of embarrassment.
In addition to leaving a few sergeants to guard the two important departments of the treasury and the armory, the rest of the people followed Zhao Hua to Wang San's bandits' lair to suppress the bandits, and now the people in charge of guarding Wei Kun and the captured water bandits are all members of the Zhang family.
Wei Kun is an important bandit leader of Wang Sanyi's gang of water bandits, once he dies in an unknown manner, then the Zhang family will inevitably take responsibility, and if he doesn't do it, he will anger Li Yuntian.
"If he doesn't die, then we will die." Zhang Youde showed a hideous look on his face, "This waste can't even fight Zhao Hua, he still has the face to live?" I should have committed suicide a long time ago, and I would have saved everyone from making trouble! ”
"Big brother, how to start?" Seeing this, Zhang Youcai couldn't help but have a cold war, he was afraid of Zhang Youde since he was a child, and asked tentatively.
"Check who in the town hates Wang San's gang of water bandits the most, and it is better to have a grudge against Wei Kun, let him go to the Inspection Department to help, and give him a chance to kill Wei Kun." The corners of Zhang Youde's mouth showed a sinister smile, "At that time, that person will be a substitute for the dead ghost, and we will only neglect to oversee at most." ”
"Big brother, your trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is really high." Zhang Youcai's eyes lit up when he heard this, this is an excellent way, and then his brows furrowed slightly, "What if he can't do it?" ”
"In that case, we can help him then, and then let him go down to the funeral." Zhang Youde's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said murderously, he would never tolerate Wei Kun being alive and posing a threat to him.
"I'll have someone do it when I get back." Zhang Youcai nodded, he couldn't help but be glad that the people of the Chen family went to suppress the bandits, otherwise it would be difficult to kill Wei Kun.
"My lord, Mr. Zhang has something important to see!" The next morning, Li Yuntian was sleeping soundly with Chen Ningning in his arms, and Luo Ming's voice came from outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Li Yuntian closed his eyes and asked lazily, after coming back last night, he and Chen Ningning, who were in a good mood, turned the clouds and rain, tossed for most of the night before falling asleep, and were sleepy at this time.
"Wei Kun is dead!" Luo Ming replied in a deep voice.
"What?" Li Yuntian suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, it seemed that Zhang Youde and Zhang Youcai really did not "live up" to his high expectations, and found a way to kill Wei Kun.
This time, Li Yuntian was completely sleepy, he didn't alarm Chen Ningning, who was sleeping lazily, and asked Yahuan to wait for him to wash and change clothes, and then walked quickly to the living room in the front yard.
"My lord, I failed to take care of Wei Kun, and I deserved death for my lord's trust!" There was not only Zhang Youde in the living room, but also Zhang Youcai, and Zhang Youcai hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty when he saw Li Yuntian.
"Secretary Zhang, what's going on?" Li Yuntian glanced at Zhang Youcai, who was kneeling there, and pretended to be surprised to look at Zhang Youde.
"My lord, Wang San's gang of water bandits has always been murderous, and the second brother of his subordinates was worried that those captured water bandits would cause trouble, so he found a group of young men from the town to guard them, but he didn't think that one of them had a blood feud with Wei Kun, and he actually took the opportunity to send food to Wei Kun to kill him." Zhang Youde looked guilty, and then knelt on the ground, "The second brother of my subordinate has made such a big mistake, please punish the adults to set an example." ”
"Heavenly reincarnation, retribution is not happy!" Li Yuntian had to admire Zhang Youde, he was able to come up with this trick to kill people with a knife, so he pretended to sigh helplessly, and stepped forward to help Zhang Youde, "Secretary Zhang, Wei Kun has done a lot of evil, and he really deserves it." ”
"Zhang Gong, you should also get up, this is an accident, in the final analysis, the official is also responsible." Then, he said to Zhang Youcai, without the slightest intention of pursuing him.
"Lord Xie, the villain will definitely take the lead of the adult in the future and serve the adult wholeheartedly." Zhang Youcai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and stood up from the ground.
"My lord, in this way, Wang San's clue will be broken." Zhang Youde looked at Li Yuntian with a solemn expression, this is probably the issue that Li Yuntian is most concerned about now.
"As soon as the bandits' nest is destroyed, Wang San will become a lost dog, and sooner or later he will fall into the legal net." Li Yuntian sneered and said coldly, "This official wants to see when he can escape!" ”
Zhang Youde and Zhang Youcai glanced at each other, and their faces invariably showed a relaxed look, it seemed that Wei Kun's pass was so thrilling.
As for the person who killed Wei Kun, Li Yuntian considered that all five members of his family were killed by Wei Kun himself, and the two sides could be said to have a common enmity, so his subordinates showed mercy and exiled him to the frontier for five years after beating him for thirty boards.
At dusk, Zhao Hua and Li Manshan returned victoriously, attracting hundreds of people in Baishui Town to gather at the dock to watch the excitement, at this time, the people of Baishui Town already knew about Wei Kun's siege and annihilation last night, and the whole town was a sensation.
Li Yuntian led Wang Yu and others who came from the county government to meet each other on the dock, and this time the attack on the nest of the three bandits was very smooth, and under the persuasion of several captured bandits, the bandits in the bandits' nest surrendered almost without any resistance, and captured the three masters who stayed behind.
Originally, Zhao Hua and Li Manshan could rush back to Baishui Town at noon, but they had to stay there and wait for the people from Pengze County, so they delayed the time.
According to Li Yuntian's prior explanation, Zhao Hua gave half of the credit for this attack on the bandits' nest to the people of Pengze County, claiming that it was the result of cooperation with Pengze County, which made both sides happy.
Zhao Hua and Li Manshan brought back nearly 100 water bandits from the bandits' nest, but giving the three masters to the people of Pengze County can be regarded as sending a big favor to the magistrate of Pengze County.
When the captured bandit disembarked from the boat in despair, the onlookers were excited, cursing and throwing rotten leaves and eggs at them, who had suffered much from the scourge of the bandits over the years.
If it weren't for Li Yuntian's explicit ban on throwing stones, I'm afraid those water bandits would have been stoned to death by the excited people at the scene.
Not only were they captured, but Zhao Hua and Li Manshan also brought back a large amount of loot, and almost all the valuable things in the bandits' nest were brought back.
What no one knew was that the wealth accumulated by Wang San was not in these spoils, and Li Manshan quietly sent someone to transport it back from another wharf, and Li Yuntian was ready to make good use of this wealth to benefit the people of Hukou County.
