"What cousin, everyone will be punished for the chaos and thieves, come and release the arrows!" In the face of Li Shun and the Cao Gang's fleeing personnel, Li Changyuan, who was the transport envoy of the water capital, did not have any mercy, and the thousands of river soldiers under his command shot several arrows at these people.

Looking at the brothers who fell one after another around him, Li Shun woke up in shock.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, if he succeeds, his cousin will take advantage of the situation to climb and get a piece of the profit, if he fails, it is the end now.

became a stepping stone for his cousin in officialdom.

This Li Shun can be regarded as a person who knows the general situation, and he knows that he can't escape tonight, he looked at his cousin with resentment in his eyes, drew out a sharp sword and pierced the abdomen, and slowly fell down with unwilling eyes.

"Since the same surname is Li, then use my death to contribute my own strength to my cousin's higher official position, I hope you can do better than me after obtaining a higher official position." After finishing speaking, Li Shun left with hatred.

Seeing Li Shun die, Li Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Not many people know the secret of the relationship between their uncle and nephew, once the incident happens tonight, as the water capital supervisor and transfer envoy, he can't get out of the relationship no matter what, but if he takes down the thief, it's another story.

Seeing that all the people in the Cao Gang had fallen, Li Changyuan's eyes became extremely ruthless.

"All the river soldiers obey the order, and every corpse is examined for me, but if there is still a breath, there must not be a single living mouth, otherwise Your Majesty will not spare everyone, is it clear?"

All the river soldiers responded in unison: "Understood." ”

In less than a stick of incense, thousands of river soldiers stabbed the corpses of these Cao Gang, no matter whether the other party was angry or not, it was impossible to come back to life.

Only now, Li Changyuan is completely relieved.

Nocturnal woods.

Qin Huaidao approached the direction of Li Shun's escape with hundreds of garrisons, and saw that there was a fire in front of him, and the team was serious and neat, reminding everyone to be vigilant, until he got closer, he found that it was the river soldiers.

Li Changyuan's eyes were quick, knowing that the person who came must be His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he ran quickly in front of Qin Huaidao without any swords, knelt down and kowtowed again and again: "The lower official is guilty, I don't know that Your Majesty has arrived at Jinmendu, and let Your Majesty encounter this poisonous hand, fortunately, Your Majesty is fine, these thieves have also been killed by me, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Seeing that it was the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal transfer envoy appointed by the water capital supervisor, Qin Huaidao's eyes were slightly cold.

Both sides of the canal have always been in charge of the transfer envoy, on weekdays have always been peaceful, the various Cao gang gangs in the canal is also very prosperous, these days he used thousands of river soldiers to set up checkpoints on both sides of the river, making such a big move, it is impossible to have a fish that slipped through the net, but this happened to Jinmendu.

Even if something happens, it is difficult not to suspect that he can happen to lead such a large number of river soldiers with such a large number of river soldiers who happen to know the retreat of these Cao gang people, and intercept and kill them here.

Qin Huaidao sneered, drew his sword and put it on Li Changyuan's neck, and smiled gloomily: "You are the transfer envoy of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal?" Thanks to you, countless civilian ships have been stranded on the canal recently, so that when my official ship arrived at Jinmendu, I saw a large number of civilian ships taking it for granted, resulting in almost death, do you say you deserve to die? ”

In front of him were thousands of river soldiers, of course Qin Huaidao would not fight the other party at such a close distance, and besides, these river soldiers were all soldiers of the Han Dynasty, how could he let this unknown transfer envoy use them.

Therefore, Qin Huaidao just made a statement to scare him.

Hearing His Majesty's blame, Li Changyuan was even more panicked: "Your Majesty, it was the lower officials who were ignorant, and they never thought that these thieves would be mixed into the civilian ships, but the lower officials set up the Kacha boat, also for the sake of Your Majesty's safety, and I hope that Your Majesty will look at the loyal relationship of the lower officials, and reduce the guilt of the lower officials." ”

"Do you know how to beg for mercy? Let me ask you, how did you know that these people intercepted and killed me in Jinmendu, and how did they organize thousands of river soldiers, but they were too late for an hour, and in the end they could only be intercepted and killed when the other party fled? ”

Qin Huaidao hit the nail on the head, this transfer enabler happened to appear here with so many river soldiers, it was impossible not to know what would happen here, but he didn't show up when the battle was at its most intense, but anyone with a brain knew what this guy was thinking.

It's a pity that the matter is urgent, and Qin Huaidao has no evidence.

Now he is asking so much, just to see if the other party can leak some flaws in the question and answer.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have been prepared, and kowtowed to Qin Huaidao again: "Your Majesty is wronged, the lower officials don't know what happened here, but I heard that a large number of civilian ships have gathered here, and I checked the place where the card was set up on the canal, and found that the card should have been set up here, but the card was not set up due to the negligence of the officials below, so I specially brought troops to check it, and it happened to happen." ”

"Hmph, it's such a coincidence, do you believe it yourself?" Even Fang Yiai, who has never liked to deal with these officials, couldn't help but speak, if His Majesty wasn't here, he would have cut this guy with a knife.

Li Changyuan heard that there were other people talking, and glanced up slightly, and found that this person was Fang Yiai, one of the top ten generals personally rewarded by His Majesty, and quickly lowered his head and explained: "It's really such a coincidence, so coincidental that even the lower officials can't believe it, if you don't believe it, Your Majesty can ask someone to see if this is the reason." ”

Since he dared to come, and had the courage to choose to sacrifice all these Cao Gang members at a critical moment, how could he not do a good job of superficial work? Qin Huaidao can see that this water capital supervisor is using the people of the Cao Gang as a gunman, and he has a basis for advancing and retreating in the rear.

It's insidious.

Seeing that he couldn't break through the questioning, Qin Huaidao asked him again: "Since it is a coincidence, then I will not pursue this matter for the time being, and I will ask you, who is the corpse on the ground, and why did you attack and kill me here?" ”

Li Changyuan kowtowed again: "Back to Your Majesty, I saw these corpses and clothes, like the Cao Gang who often walked on the Grand Canal, as for why they assassinated Your Majesty, the lower officials don't know." ”

Qin Huaidao suddenly shouted: "Okay, you are a transfer envoy, so bold!" ”

Li Changyuan was suddenly stunned.

He looked at His Majesty and said in amazement: "Your Majesty, the lower official is very bold, I don't know why Your Majesty said this?" ”

Qin Huaidao said: "The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is dominated by you, and there are thousands of river soldiers under your jurisdiction, and the area on both sides of the river is only stretching for thousands of miles, but a rebel army of this scale has developed under your nose, if there is no connivance from you, how can it be like this?" ”

Hearing this guilt, Li Changyuan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, since the subordinate was appointed as the transfer envoy, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he has never slackened off, but the affairs of the Grand Canal are complicated, even if the subordinate has three heads and six arms, he can't be busy."
