44, catch bandits
"There is no news for the time being, the person has been away for a long time, many people don't pay attention to it, I only know that he left Yanzhou and went back to his hometown, I sent someone to his hometown to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be news in a few days." "Steward Lai returned.
Fu Chenghai nodded and didn't say anything, and let them go out to do errands.
It didn't take long for Lai Lingxiang to get engaged, and she got married in February next year, a month earlier than Fu Wuxian, and her husband's family was in another state town.
In the evening, Mother Gray came back with Big Ash and brought good news, it found Li Si, who had left nine years ago. It's just that people are much stronger and darker than before, and in the words of Mother Gray, they are much uglier.
In the space, Wu Ge listened to the chirping of the, and said in his heart, sure enough, Li Si was there, so it could be explained why the Chu family asked Steward Cai, who was in charge of purchasing, to buy poultry meat from Daliang Mountain.
Wuge got out of the space, found the Xue family, and asked her to convey a message to Fu Chenghai that Li Si had something to do with the poisoning and killing of the Ming Yi clan back then, and now that he was a bandit in Daliang Mountain, he wanted to find a way to end the bandit's nest.
When it came time for the interrogation, Chu was very surprised how Steward Lai knew about Li Si, and also knew that the purchaser bought something from Daliangshan, but she only said that the two thousand taels were used to supplement the family, and she didn't know where it was used.
And Steward Cai also said that he didn't know what Daliangshan was, he bought the meat that he needed in the house from his fellow villagers, and the price was a little more expensive than the outside, and he also said that the money he spent was the amount he actually bought, as for the account book, his wife asked him to record it, and the two thousand taels of silver didn't pass through his hands at all, and he didn't know where the money went.
The matter froze, because it was not a yamen, and it could not be lynched too strongly, and the matter had not yet been decided, and the Chu family could not be convicted, although they were all slaves of the family, they could not really be killed.
Steward Lai came to Fu Chenghai and asked if he could use some more severe punishments, especially if he could use torture for the Chu family.
Fu Chenghai told him about Li Si in Daliang Mountain, and planned to go to Li Shoubei, who was stationed in Yanzhou and Chongzhou, tomorrow to borrow people.
"Master, did you get the news that Li Si is in Daliang Mountain?" Steward Lai was surprised, he checked for several days and there was no news, where did the news come from when the master stayed at home, it was so accurate.
"Well, people must be up there, don't make a noise about this, I decided to borrow troops to sneak over and kill them all. Fu Chenghai whispered.
Steward Lai knew the importance of the matter, and no one said anything about it.
The next morning, Fu Chenghai made a carriage and went out of the city, and there was a standing on the roof of the carriage, and his carriage entered the city in the evening. Big Ash left the roof of the car and flew towards the Tilting Courtyard.
On the third day, Fu Cheng kelp, Fu Gu and Fu Mai went out of the city again by car.
Wuge sat on Bai Xiao's body and came to the foot of Daliang Mountain, waited stealthily below, released the silver moon in advance, and guarded the path of the stockade. She wanted to make sure that no one ran away, and she had a feeling that this group of bandits was not easy.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Fu Chenghai and a team of soldiers rushed over from a distance.
The leader of the troops was a middle-aged man about thirty years old, with a large waist and a strong body, with a scar mark on his right cheek, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, as soon as he raised his hand, the 1,000 soldiers behind him immediately stopped and did not make a big movement.
The commander with the troops took out the map of Daliang Mountain and looked at which roads needed to be sealed.
He beckoned four men to come, "Take a hundred men and set up a blockade in each of these four directions, and if anyone rushes to resist and kill." He tapped a few times on the map and spoke to his men.
"Master Li, no. Fu Chenghai hurriedly came over to stop him, "I can't kill it, the person I'm looking for is inside, and if I kill it, I will die without proof, and I can scrap and disable." ”
Li Shoubei looked at Fu Chenghai and said dissatisfiedly, "Just stay angry and go." ”
"Master Xie. Fu Chenghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was alive.
The four of them took the order and left with the people.
"The rest of the people will fight with me to the front gate, remember to keep as much alive as possible, but you can't let yourself be hurt, you really can't kill him. Li Shoubei shouted to his subordinates, got off the horse, and rushed to the front, the big guys followed behind the adults excitedly, and the remaining six hundred people rushed towards the stockade built in the lower half of the mountain.
Daliang Mountain is not high, the village is built not far from the foot of the mountain, less than half of the mountainside, the area of the village is not small, there are less than 200 bandits inside, plus some women and children, the elderly and children, almost more than 200 people.
Daliang Mountain has never been attacked, and the only time it was like a joke ended, so the guards didn't find out until the army hit the door, he shouted, the officers and soldiers attacked the cottage, and the people were shot dead by the archers beside Li Shoubei.
Finally ran up after him, Fu Chenghai hurriedly panted and said, "Stay alive first, and you will kill you when I find someone." ”
"You're not happy. The sharpshooter snorted dissatisfied, but shooting again would avoid the opponent's vital point.
Wuge looked at Fu Chenghai, who was choked in mid-air with a red face and a thick neck, and smiled unkindly.
"Bai Xiao, pay attention to his safety. She said seemingly casually.
Bai Xiao nodded, knowing that the master was a person who was easily soft-hearted, especially someone who was kind to her.
The bandits in Daliang Mountain picked up knives, guns and sticks and began to resist, some of them fought very fiercely, looking like outlaws, Li Shoubei directly said, abolish those people, life and death.
The soldiers who accompanied him were all on the battlefield, and they directly cut these people to serious injuries and then captured them.
In the middle of the day, the entire bandits' den had been swept away, and more than 50 women and more than a dozen children who had been abducted or deceived were all brought back for interrogation.
"Look for the person you're looking for is not in there. Li Shoubei said to Chenghai.
There were still about a hundred standing, and the rest were laid down or sat by the soldiers and lined up.
Fu Chenghai wiped the sweat from his forehead, he wouldn't admit that he was frightened, he looked for it from head to head, and when he came to Li Si, he recognized it at once.
"Li Si, you are really here. Looking at Li Si, who had entered the bandits' den, he hated his teeth when he thought of his wife's death.
"Sir. Li Si, who had dark skin and was stronger than before, shouted Fu Chenghai with dodged eyes.
"Haha, it's good that you didn't kill it, and I'll be interrogated when I go back. Li Shoubei laughed, today's battle was a great one, just for such a person, it is good to train and train by himself.
"My lord, don't you know that I just saw a golden tiger in the back mountain, and the tiger is simply amazing. At this time, a group of men and horses came out of the stockade, and it was the centurion who was sent by Li Shoubei to intercept the bandits who might run away from the path.
"Golden Tiger, tell me about it, you kid. Li Shoubei was interested when he heard it.
"I went to stay in that place for a long time, and I thought there was no one, but I heard the cry of a tiger nearby, and I thought I'd take some people to see it, and guess what. ”
Li Shoubei kicked him directly, "What are you kid selling, if you have a fart, let it go." ”
"Hehe," he smiled and dodged the kick, "I saw a big golden tiger with two people under its paws, and when I walked over, it actually nodded at me and motioned for me to take these two people away, I was going to catch the tiger, but it ran away without a trace." He said regretfully, "Well, those two people have been brought back." ”
As he spoke, he pouted at the back, and the accompanying soldiers escorted two people.
"How could it be the two of you?" Fu Chenghai originally came over to hear about the tiger, but who knew that when he looked up at the two people who ran away, he was stunned.
"Do you know, aren't they bandits?" asked Li Shoubei with a slight frown.
Fu Chenghai is now full of questions, and said with emotion. "They are the robbers I met fifteen years ago, and I saved a girl from them at that time, and I didn't expect to meet them here today. ”
"Hehe, isn't that girl moved to make a promise? Li Shoubei leaned over and said obscenely.
Fu Chenghai glared at Li Shoubei, and said in his heart, You don't know the situation in our family, and you are still teasing me here.
"What kind of eyes are you, isn't that what is written in the usual book? Call the hero to save the beauty," Li Shoubei gave Fu Chenghai a roll of his eyes in disgust, and the scar on his face looked very hideous.
"My lord, you don't know, I asked you to help catch this Li Si today, it has something to do with the Chu Chu I saved before, hey, the house is restless, today I saw the two former bandits with Li Si, I have to wonder if the so-called hero saving the beauty was arranged by them. Fu Chenghai said with a frown.
"It's easy to do, someone will give it to me and promise to ask it for you, don't worry. Li Shoubei patted Fu Chenghai's shoulder sympathetically and said.
"I'm here to thank Master Li in advance, and I will thank you again no matter what the situation is afterwards. Fu Chenghai said to him.
In such a short time, the other three centurions brought back people, and also captured three people.
"My lord, I came across a big brown bear on the left side of the road, good fellow, and the bear's paw slapped a man-thick tree. The centurion of the other team said.
"You've met it too?" asked the centurion who was the first to come back, surprised, "I met a magical tiger." ”
"I also met a silver-white wolf, with such beautiful fur, staring at the bandit who had sneaked down, and scared people to sit on the ground and not move. The centurion of the third team said.
"Hey, why didn't I touch it. The last indignant complaint.
"A tiger, a wild bear and a wolf, what's the matter, do they know that we caught bandits and came over to help?" Li Shoubei said with interest, "This is the first thing I have encountered since I joined the army, and it is worth showing off in front of them in the future." ”
Bai Xiao snorted dissatisfiedly, just a few fools who have just been promoted, they don't know skills yet, what is there to show off, if he goes out, he will have the capital to show off.
"I'll let you out next time. Wuge felt Bai Xiao's resentment and touched its head soothingly.
"Master, you have to remember what you said, next time you must let me fight, I have learned a lot of skills, I haven't shown it to you, but it's amazing." Bai Xiao immediately said that the master was not allowed to repent, and since that farm, it has never shown its skills.
