Early morning.

The glow is glorious, shrouded in Chang'an City, the city gate that was closed for a night slowly opened, a horse roared, the horse's hooves flew over, it had to make a noise, and when it rushed to the city gate, a sudden stop, the war horse stood up, and neighed.

Immediately, Xue Rengui skillfully jumped off the horse, often in and out, the guards recognized the identity of the person, and let him go directly, Xue Rengui was in a hurry, but he still walked into the city gate according to the regulations, and walked quickly along the street, the streets in the early morning were already full of people who were busy getting up early, and all kinds of shouts came and went.

Xue Rengui bought a few meatloaf and ate while walking, and when he finished eating, he came to the Huguo Mansion, threw the war horse to the gatekeeper to lead, and hurriedly entered, the people in the mansion recognized Xue Rengui, and saluted and said hello, no one stopped them, and they came to the gate of the backyard smoothly.

The backyard is a forbidden place, no one is allowed to enter except He'er, Xue Rengui didn't dare to break this rule, he waited honestly, and was about to shout loudly, when he saw He'er coming out of it, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the young master?" ”

"I'm still practicing, what's wrong with Brother Xue?" Ha'er asked in surprise.

"It's a bit of a rush."

"Then you wait a minute." He'er hurried in.

Not long after, He'er came out of it and said, "Young master, wash up, come over immediately, and let you go to the study and wait for a while." ”

The study is not far from the side, He'er led in, skillfully boiling water to make tea, since the house should be used to make tea, making tea has become a thing of the past, He'er has also learned, quickly poured a cup of hot tea for Xue Rengui, Xue Rengui thanked him, and chatted a few words.

Not long after, Qin Huaidao hurriedly came over, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Xue, why is it so early?" ”

"It's a bit of a rush." Xue Rengui explained, and got up.

"Sit down and talk slowly, He'er, go to the kitchen and help me finish making noodles and send them over." Qin Huaidao said politely, after He'er left, Qin Huaidao sat back in the tea-making position and poured himself a cup of tea.

Xue Rengui hurriedly said: "Young master, Shen Mei came to Qinjiazhuang last night to report that it was Zhang Yuanwai's house slave who did it, and there were hundreds of people who confessed the same house slaves, and he also confessed that two or three hundred people came to the village some time ago, and their identities were unknown, and they never went out, which was the same as the confession of the Fengyulou killer caught in the last battle. ”

"That Zhang Dashan man ten miles south of the city?" Qin Huaidao ranged, seeing Xue Rengui nodding, he couldn't help sneering and said: "He is really a good person, he actually dares to raise hundreds of house slaves, this kind of house slave is also considered a dead man, it seems to be quite rich, ordinary people can't afford to support so many people, tell me your opinion?" ”

"There are two possibilities, one is that the people behind are tempting, to see if we will be angry and do it, and the other is to take revenge, seeking revenge, if it is a temptation, once the imperial army is used, the 'Zangfeng' plan will be busy in vain, if it is revenge, the use of the army will make the young master become a holy shield again, but this tone is unbearable, it is better to compromise, I will take someone to find a time to kill it?" Xue Rengui proposed.

"You're right, I'm not sure if the other party is tempting or revenge, since that's the case, then let's force the other party to make a statement, wait for me to eat something, and go with me." Qin Huaidao agreed.

"No problem, where to go?" Xue Rengui asked curiously.

"Go and meet this Zhang Dashan person."

"Ah......h

Xue Rengui was a little confused, what kind of charter was it in the past? Seeing He'er coming over with food, he didn't ask again.

Qin Huaidao didn't explain, he finished eating, picked up the two knives on the weapon rack next to him, threw them to Xue Rengui, took one with him, and walked outside.

"Young master, are you going out?" He'er asked in surprise, they have been locked up at home for several days, and they don't go out of the door, and they don't see guests, this is suddenly going out, can't something happen?

"Go out for a walk and come back soon." Qin Huaidao dropped a sentence and sped up.

Not long after, Qin Huaidao came to the West Courtyard and asked people to come to the carriage, since he was closed, he naturally couldn't be seen leaving the mansion, so Xue Rengui drove the carriage away.

Going south along Suzaku Street, out of Mingde Gate is outside the city, and going south along the pipeline, Xue Rengui was nervous and excited, and the two of them broke into the Longtan Tiger's Den of hundreds of killers, which was exciting to think about, but Qin Huaidao was not worried, and Xue Rengui did not care.

Not long after, the carriage came to a Zhuangzi gate, crossing a stone bridge, but Qin Huaidao let the carriage stop, the river is two zhang wide, one zhang deep, the stone bridge is the only passage, as long as it is held, no matter how many opponents there are, it is useless, bold is bold, it does not mean that there is no annoyance.

Qin Huaidao jumped out of the carriage, stretched his arms, and looked at the mountain villa in front of him, built on a lonely hillside, surrounded by flat farmland, the hillside was densely wooded, the room was looming, and the sound of dogs barking came, the area was not small, and it was more than enough to hide a thousand people.

Someone in front of him put his hand in front of him, and when he saw the carriage parked on the other side of the bridge, he didn't come, and he was a little surprised, and one person stepped forward and asked, "Who are you, why did you come to Zhangjia Village?" ”

"This official protects the country, let you Zhang Dashan come over." Qin Huaidao shouted, directly revealing his identity.

The other party's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly went back to report that the name of the protector was too loud, and no one dared to fake it.

Xue Rengui looked ahead and said uneasily: "Young master, it looks unusual here, I'm afraid there are many pairs of eyes waiting for us in the woods." ”

"Scared?" Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

"That's impossible, I'm just worried about the young master's comfort, after all, there are many of them, if you use bows and arrows, we will easily suffer." Xue Rengui reminded.

"Don't worry, don't forget that this carriage is made of steel plates, arrows can't pierce it, as long as you guard this stone bridge, with you, don't open it." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Xue Rengui then remembered that the carriage had been specially made, he was not afraid of arrows, and it was safe to hide behind, but as for hand-to-hand combat, he was even more afraid, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and saw many people rushing out, and reminded: "Young master, it's here." ”

"Keep an eye on the point, watch out for the cold arrows." Qin Huaidao reminded.

Xue Rengui nodded and came to Qin Huaidao's side to wait solemnly.

Soon, several people hurriedly came over, and Qin Huaidao shouted: "Zhang Dashan, it's good for you to come alone." ”

The visitor stopped on the other side of the bridge, and an obese middle-aged man stepped forward, not close, and said with a fist: "Zhang Fugui, the grass people, has seen the protector of the country, the protector of the country has visited, and it is shining, it is better to go in and talk about it, so that the small one can enjoy the friendship of the landlord." ”

"Do you really dare to let this official in?" Qin Huaidao sneered.

Zhang Fugui looked stunned, but quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "That's the honor of the grass people, I'm afraid that the protector will not appreciate his face." ”

"You're threatening me?" Qin Huaidao's eyes were cold, and he became serious, this guy looked like a smiling tiger, a calculating person, not easy to deal with.

"The protector of the country is wronged, and the small ones don't dare." The other party looked terrified.

Qin Huaidao would not be more confused than the other party's appearance, and said coldly: "Zhang Fugui, you should know the reason why this official came over, the house collapsed, there were dead and injured, people were panicked, the construction period was delayed, and tens of thousands of pieces of silver were lost, this account has to be calculated, rounded up, and 200,000 yuan as compensation, telling the people behind you not to bother me anymore, and this official will not stand in his way, if not, then he will not die." ”

Xue Rengui saw that Qin Huaidao was here to knock on a penny, and by the way, he warned the people behind him, and he could not only get a huge amount of compensation, but also directly tell the people behind him his attitude to achieve the goal of "hiding the front", and if he failed, it showed that the people behind him were not tempting, but really undying, so he directly slaughtered this stronghold.

It's good, it's simple, it's straightforward, it's brutal, but it's effective.

Thinking of this, Xue Rengui's spirit was shocked, and he was amused in his heart, but the loss of thousands of guan was just said to be tens of thousands, and it was rounded up to 200,000 guan, there is such a rounding? Learned.

Zhang Fugui's expression froze, and his already small eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said with an embarrassed face: "Protector of the country, I really don't understand, what kind of dead person?" What compensation? ”

A chill flashed in Qin Huaidao's eyes, and he said coldly: "Now it's the official who is coming, I'm afraid it will be the army in a while, you can talk about it after you think about it, but it's just a few hundred people, and the official will lead people to take it down." ”

Zhang Fugui couldn't stand it anymore, his face froze, and a touch of panic flashed in his eyes.

Qin Huaidao warned: "The last sentence, 200,000 yuan in compensation, tell the person behind you, the official is not in his way, and he should not bother the official, otherwise he will not die, it is time to give you a stick of incense, and if you can't see the silver after a stick of incense, then step on your little Zhuangzi." ”

The momentum is cold, domineering, and unquestionable.

A powerful iron-blooded killing aura shrouded Zhang Fugui.

Zhang Fugui's face changed greatly, he didn't say anything, retreated, and hurriedly returned with his own people.
