Several bandit leaders were captured, completely defeating the fighting spirit of all the mountain bandits, and all the bandits saw that their boss was carried out of the stockade by Li Hao, and obediently put down their weapons and surrendered.

In just half an hour, these people were collectively imprisoned by Li Hao in a stone cave at the back of the cottage. Under the personal care of the Dark Guard.

In Dazhai, only Li Hao and others and a group of bandit leaders remained.

Scartiger knelt on the ground with a withered face.

Li Hao drank a cup of tea slowly.

"According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, anyone who robs and robs other people's property shall be sentenced to imprisonment for more than five years, and if the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to more than ten years, life imprisonment, or even the death penalty, and shall be deprived of the national identity of the Tang Dynasty for life, and the next three generations shall not be like an official of the dynasty. Scar Tiger, you occupy the mountains as bandits, rob villagers, rob merchants, and commit countless crimes, but what else do you have to say? ”

Scarred Tiger hung his head, and there was no hope.

"I have nothing to say, I lose in your hands, I am convinced!"

"Good!"

Li Hao slapped the table: "Someone will escort this group of bandits to Chang'an and let the government deal with it!" ”

"Yes!" The dark guard Qinglong clenched his fists, and he was going to take these people into custody.

The white fan hurriedly shouted: "The prince spares his life, although we have done a lot of evil, we are all coerced, and I hope the prince will be gracious!" ”

Li Hao chuckled in his heart, sure enough, he was still afraid of death.

His face was not revealed, and he waved his hand to send Qinglong away: "Oh, there is still a secret in this?" Let's talk about who has such a great ability to coerce you bandits? ”

"Yes...... It's ......"

"Don't worry, as long as you actively cooperate with this king to investigate the case, I will go to the government to negotiate and help you fight for leniency!"

"It's Cui Qinghe, it's Cui Qinghe who sent me!"

As soon as he heard that he could be lenient, the white fan immediately revealed the mastermind behind the scenes.

The vast majority of people in this world are self-interested, and when there is nothing to do, each brother is righteous and angry. But when it comes to personal life, then everything can be said, as long as it can help you reduce the punishment, your relatives can also sell.

"Cui Qinghe......" Li Hao pretended to be pensive and muttered in a low voice.

"And ...... There is also Wang Qingyuan, Wang Qingyuan of the Taiyuan royal family! ”

As soon as he saw the inside story of the white fan, Scar Tiger also began to plan for himself because of his conformity.

"King Cui's two families are both big families with five surnames and seven hopes, you said that they have something to do with this matter, which makes this king very embarrassed!" Li Hao chuckled lightly and continued to look at the two.

"Don't worry, I have evidence to prove that they have something to do with this matter!"

"I have the proof, and I have it too!"

The conversation has been opened and there is no turning back, Scartiger and White Fan are scrambling to start being tainted witnesses.

Li Hao waved his hand and interrupted their words: "Guogong, these two people who talk together have a headache, what if we don't try them separately?" ”

"Willing to serve!" Cheng Biting Jin smiled, grabbed the scar tiger and walked out the door.

"Remember, if there is even the slightest discrepancy in your testimony later, I will reward you with a Ling Chi execution!"

Li Hao's voice came from behind him, cold and piercing, even though it was already summer, Scar Tiger couldn't help but shiver.

After they left, Li Hao finally sat up straight: "Okay, let's talk about it." ”

The white fan hurriedly poured beans and began to confess.

The five surnames and seven wangs are all famous families, and over the years, their power has grown, there are more and more protégés, and their ambitions have gradually increased. In order to make money, they opened their own industries in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, both black and white, the white fan is the protégé of the Qinghe Cui family, and the scar tiger is the Wang family.

A month ago, Wang Qingyuan and Cui Qinghe suddenly joined forces and secretly recruited a group of bandits from all over the country to gather in Cuiping Mountain to plot big things.

Seven days ago, Cui Qinghe sent a secret report, asking them to loot the goods in Lijiazhuang on the official road. The intelligence was very accurate, and their group of 300 bandits, under the guidance of the secret report, really succeeded in looting.

Now the materials have long been secretly transported to the two warehouses in Chang'an City, waiting for Li Hao to fall and make a windfall.

After hearing this, Li Hao was not satisfied.

"These are all your words, how can I accept them? Even if I go to the government now, there is no evidence! ”

"The prince is relieved, Cui Qinghe will bring someone to the cottage to meet me in two days. The prince only needs to wait in ambush, and he can catch one of them, and then the human and physical evidence will be gathered, and he is not afraid that Cui Qinghe will not admit it. ”

"What is the son of the Cui family doing here for no reason, is there some conspiracy?"

Li Hao asked pretending to be puzzled.

The white fan hurriedly flattered Yinghe: "The prince is very talented and clever, Cui Qinghe has no eyes, a few days ago in Chang'an, he provoked the prince and suffered a big loss, which made the Cui family lose face, Cui Qinghe should have been assigned to Leizhou and never hired." But he assured the clan that this time he could not only swallow Li Jiazhuang, but also eat the Wang family, so the Cui family would continue to let him do anything here! ”

"And what? But the Wang family has a big business, how can the Cui family annex the Wang family in one fell swoop? ”

"Although Cui Qinghe didn't tell me all the plans, I can guess a thing or two, I think he came here tomorrow to buy Scartiger. At that time, Scar Tiger only needs to hand over two minions as witnesses, and he insists that the mountain bandits in Cuiwei Village are from the Wang family. When the time comes, the officers and soldiers will be led to the warehouse of the king of Chang'an to check, and then the human and material evidence will be complete. ”

Li Hao nodded: "It's really a vicious strategy, at that time, the Wang family will definitely be discredited, and the entire Wang family will be investigated by the government, and the Cui family, as the first merit, will definitely be qualified to take over the Wang family's property as soon as possible." This is not a bad plan! ”

"It's really vicious, but fortunately, Prince Li's clever plan saw through Cui Qinghe's tricks at a glance, and I, Bai Fanzi, am willing to be a pawn of the horse, help the prince completely clean up the Cui family, and return a peaceful life!"

Li Hao smiled, but didn't say much, just asked people to take the white fan down and detain him alone.

After a short time, Cheng Biting Jin also came back, and Scarhu's confession was not different from Bai Fan, but what Wang Qingyuan planned was to put the Cui family in a desperate situation after disposing of Li Jiazhuang in public.

After Li Hao and the two communicated with each other, they couldn't help laughing.

"This Wang Qingyuan is really naïve, and he actually believes that Cui Qinghe really regards him as a brother. If things go well, it is estimated that the Wang family is gone, and Wang Qingyuan is still helping Cui Qinghe count the money! ”

Cheng Yanjin said contemptuously.

Li Hao was silent for a moment, and suddenly showed a treacherous smile: "Then do you say we should help Wang Qingyuan?" was deceived like this, isn't the Taiyuan royal family too miserable? ”

Cheng Biting Jin was stunned, he didn't understand what Li Hao meant, Wang Qingyuan couldn't wait to kill Li Hao and swallow all the property of Li Jiazhuang, why did Li Hao still think about helping him?

Li Hao didn't explain, but beckoned the black egg and whispered a few words to him.

After hearing this, the black egg smiled happily: "Look at me, the owner, I'll go with Brother Qinglong, I'm not afraid of talking nonsense!" ”

After solving everything, Li Hao turned his head to look at Cheng Yanjin again: "Old Cheng, I can't leave this Cuiwei Mountain for the time being, there is something I need your help with!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Li Hao lowered his voice: "You will leave for Chang'an now, please go out on patrol in Lao Li Weifu, and I will invite him to watch a big show!" ”

Cheng bit Jin's eyes and rolled, as if he understood Li Hao's plan.

"Hehe, my Lao Cheng has served you, Cui Qing congratulated them for provoking you, it was really eight lifetimes of blood mold. Don't worry, it's about the five surnames and seven hopes, Your Majesty will definitely come! ”
