As he walked, a group of people with torches appeared around the corner of the street ahead.

Due to the darkness of the night, Chen Bozhao and the others couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, and they didn't know whether they were friends or foes, so they stopped and protected Li Yuntian behind them, observing each other nervously.

"But the county lord is here?" The group rushed straight for them, and one of the leaders shouted loudly.

"Zhang Gong, you came just in time, go with this official to suppress bandits and kill the enemy." Hearing the other party's voice, Li Yuntian immediately knew who the person was coming, and flashed out from behind Luo Ming and said to the person in a very cordial tone.

"Since the county has this intention, then Zhang is duty-bound." The other party did not hesitate at all, and agreed in one bite.

After he walked to the light, everyone found out that it was Zhang Youde's brother Zhang Youcai, who brought people to the Chen Mansion to protect Li Yuntian after receiving the news of the attack of the water bandits, and met here.

After Zhang Youcai's subordinates joined the team, there were nearly 100 people behind Li Yuntian, and they were hugging him forward, but they also had a bit of momentum.

The pier was blazing with flames, some nearby houses were on fire, and the frightened residents fled like headless flies, crying incessantly, a chaotic scene.

There were more than 200 bandits, and they were divided into two routes, one to carry the valuable goods in the wharf warehouse to a few boats parked on the shore, and the other to carry knives and wantonly plunder nearby houses, killing people and setting fires, raping and plundering, and committing all kinds of evil.

A stout bald man with triangular eyes and a collapsed nose sat on a chair on the dock, and in a daze, he put his hand into his arms and kneaded the clothes of a frightened girl.

"Third master, someone is here." Just as the bald man was enjoying himself, a water bandit with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks walked over quickly and reported to him in a low voice.

"Someone from the Inspection Division?" The bald man is Wang San, and when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked a little surprised, "Those guys who belong to Wang Ba dare to take care of our affairs?" ”

The water bandits in Poyang Lake are extremely fierce, and many of them are outlaws, and they have been on fire with several inspection divisions along the shores of Poyang Lake, which has caused those inspection divisions to suffer a big loss.

Therefore, as long as the bandits do not take the initiative to provoke, then the people of the inspection department will turn a blind eye to the bandits when they face them, and usually wait until the bandits are gone before they come out to clean up the mess.

"I don't think it's from the Inspection Division." The water bandit with the sharp-beaked monkey cheek is Wang San's follower, nicknamed Ergou, and shook his head when he heard this, "Those people seem to be wearing civilian clothes."

"Let's go, I'll go with them." Wang San felt a little interesting, and got up to greet the frightened woman in his arms, he didn't expect that there would be someone in Baishui Town who was not afraid of death and dared to meddle with his affairs, but he wanted to see which guy ate the bear's heart and leopard gall.

Seeing this, Ergou made a whistle, and the nearby bandits surrounded him, carrying knives, and surrounded Wang San violently.

Soon, the two sides met at the entrance of the pier, and they invariably stopped, facing each other more than 100 meters away, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Li Yuntian clenched the long sword in his hand with a cold expression, he didn't expect that these water bandits were so arrogant that they would dare to come to meet them.

Luo Ming was more experienced, and asked several officials to protect Li Yuntian with shields in front of him, so as not to let the other party cast cold arrows.

"Listen to the people on the other side, our third master is in a good mood today, spare your dog's life, get out quickly, otherwise the third master will cut off your head as a night pot." During the confrontation, the two dogs on the opposite side were the first to speak and shouted arrogantly.

"This official is the magistrate of Hukou County, you water bandits, listen, if you surrender now, this official will count you as surrendering and leave you with your lives, otherwise you will be killed." Li Yuntian sneered, how could he be afraid of the threat of the water bandits, and replied loudly.

As soon as his words were spoken, Chen Bozhao, Zhang Youcai and Luo Ming on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that the county magistrate has not figured out the situation yet, and now that the water bandits are overwhelmingly occupied, how can they surrender, and if they don't do it, it will intensify the situation.

"Zhixian? What a big official! Wang San then understood why someone dared to come to stir up his good deeds, it turned out that the new county master was here, and laughed a few times in a weird manner, and then changed his tone and said murderously, "Third master, I have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have never taken the head of the county master, and today I can open meat." ”

"Wang San, listen, we swear to protect the adults today, if you are not afraid of the fish dying and the net will be broken, let the horse come, if I Zhang Youcai frowns, I will follow your surname!"

When Zhang Youcai heard this, he raised the knife in his hand and reprimanded Wang San loudly, showing that he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and put on a posture of loyal protection to the Lord, and at the same time revealed his identity in the past, so that Wang San must not be impulsive, so as not to cause a big disaster.

"Listen, everyone, protect your lords, and fight with them." Chen Bozhao saw that Zhang Youcai was so shamelessly flattering Li Yuntian, although he was disdainful in his heart, he also shouted loudly that these superficial articles must still be done.

"Okay, with the help of loyal and righteous people like Zhang Gong and Chen Gong, everyone will be able to kill one of them with one as ten, and then the official will give you a drink to celebrate!" Li Yuntian had to admit that this kind of flattery sounded really comfortable, and he shouted with a grim face.

"County master, since we meet for the first time, our third master will give you a gift." At this moment, the second dog on the opposite side shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall bandit rushed out of the group, ran a few steps, and threw a black thing in his hand.

"Protect your lordship." Looking at the object that flew over, Luo Ming led the people to protect Li Yuntian.

With a bang, the flying object landed on the ground not far away and rolled towards Li Yuntian.

Seeing this, Luo Ming stretched out his legs and stepped on it, as soon as he landed on his feet, he felt a little strange, looked down and was startled, and quickly jumped up and took two steps back, his face was full of shock.

Li Yuntian saw Luo Ming's appearance as if he had seen a ghost, so he pushed away the person in front of him and looked over, and when he saw the object clearly, his eyes couldn't help but show a shocked look.

Under the light of the torches, a bloody human head lay quietly on the ground, and from the appearance it was a man in his twenties, with round eyes and a dead look.

Li Yuntian didn't expect Wang San's gang of water bandits to be so vicious, and he couldn't help but feel a cloud of anger in his heart, and tightly grasped the long sword in his hand.

The people around were frightened by this human head, and all of them showed fear, and some of their legs couldn't help shaking.

Li Yuntian really wanted to wave his hand and lead the people behind him to rush over to kill this group of god-killing water bandits, but he couldn't be so reckless, the number and morale of the water bandits had the upper hand, and if he fought hard, he would undoubtedly cause greater casualties by hitting the stone with an egg, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Originally, he wanted to deal with the bandits, and wait for the men of the inspection department to arrive before attacking the bandits, who would be at a disadvantage and would definitely flee.

But now Wang San is so provocative, if he continues to be a "shrinking turtle", then he will undoubtedly be laughed at by those water bandits.

The people at the scene looked at Li Yuntian with blank eyes, nervously waiting for him to come up with an idea.

"Evil thief, this official will definitely arrest you and bring you to justice, and the corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces, everyone listen, follow this official and the water bandit to the death......", in the eyes of everyone, Li Yuntian thought of a countermeasure with a flash of inspiration in his mind, and then raised the long sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and shouted at the water bandit opposite, putting on a posture of wanting to fight with the other party.

Chen Bozhao, Zhang Youcai and Luo Ming were shocked when they heard this, the sword was ruthless, and the consequences would be unimaginable if they fought.

The people of the Inspection Department must now know the news that Li Yuntian personally came to the dock to suppress the bandits, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon, as long as they hold on for a while, when the people from the Inspection Department come, the bandits will naturally retreat without a fight, and then everyone will be very happy.

Just as the three of them wanted to dissuade Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian suddenly closed his eyes, and before he finished speaking, he fell straight back, and was supported by the people on the side.

"The adult has fainted, send it to the doctor." Seeing this, Zhang Youcai's eyes rolled, and after shouting, he asked his subordinates to lift Li Yuntian and turn his head and run back, preparing to snatch Li Yuntian home and have a reputation as a loyal protector, and at the same time avoid a war with Wang San.

Chen Bozhao didn't expect Zhang Youcai to start so quickly, and he was suddenly a little annoyed in his heart, and hurriedly beckoned the people of the Chen family to follow behind, so that he would not be full enough to fight those water bandits.

Under the leadership of the two of them, the crowd receded like a tide, and in an instant, it ran clean.

"The little hairy boy who has not dried up the milk, go home and eat milk!" Wang San saw that Li Yuntian was frightened by a human head and fainted, his face showed a look of disdain, he waved his hand triumphantly, and led his men to the boat and left.

Now that Li Yuntian has already appeared, the people from the Inspection Department will definitely not nest in the barracks anymore, and if he doesn't leave, he will inevitably have a fight with the people of the Inspection Department, which will not be worth it.

Anyway, his goal has been achieved, and he has taken the opportunity to make a fortune, so there is no need to stay.

When Zhao Hua, the inspector of the Baishui Town Inspection Division, led his sergeants to the dock in a hurry, the boat on which the bandits were riding was already forty or fifty meters away from the shore.

Seeing this, the bandits on the boat arrogantly waved their weapons at them, shouted and screamed, and some even took off their pants and slapped their buttocks at them, mocking them to the fullest.

"My lord, let's go on the boat and chase after it." A burly sergeant glanced at the nearby houses that had become a sea of fire, and said to Zhao Hua in a deep voice, now that the situation is so big, it is not good to explain to his boss without a fight.

"Fight the fire!" Zhao Hua is nearly forty years old, with a Chinese face, a burly figure, two mustaches at the corners of his mouth, his brows are tightly wrinkled, and he weighed left and right and gave an order.
