The next day, the people and horses also arrived near the city one after another, and Li Tai also took advantage of the situation to enter the city and took over all the things of the city defense.

When the people inside and outside the city saw so many people coming, they couldn't help but marvel at the power of this new envoy. As for the Jingzhou subordinates who had met with him in the military camp yesterday, they immediately understood the source of Li Tai's confidence. If they have such a huge force, of course, they will also have revenge, but I am afraid that they will be even more arrogant than Li Tai!

Although Wang Sizheng did not stay in Jingzhou for a long time, he still did some things, such as repairing the Jingzhou City, and the regional pattern in the city was also quite regular, which was worthy of the handiwork of the tower defense master.

The space in the city is not small, and before Li Tai arrived, Quan Zhongzun had already ordered someone to clear an area, and the people brought by Li Tai could directly settle in.

The reason why Li Tai stayed in the barracks outside the city last night was because he was worried that the mixed situation here might cause some accidents, and if he lived outside the city, it would be at least convenient to run. He can send his subordinates to captivate people halfway, who knows if there will be other old six people ambushing in the shadows and preparing to sneak attack him.

Although he took over the city repaired by Wang Sizheng, Li Tai was not grateful to him, because when this guy left, the Jingzhou treasury was almost empty. It is estimated that even if there were some things left at that time, they had to be stolen by the guards left behind.

Therefore, when Cui Qian entered the city to receive and inspect the treasury of various places, there were no ten trucks of surplus in the warehouse, and most of them were waste materials from Chen Ma and Rotten Valley. As for the warehousing income and expenditure book, it is even more chaotic and unorganized.

However, Li Tai didn't care about this, he didn't expect Jingzhou to have a lot of savings when he came south this time, he carried a huge amount of money and food and abundant weapons, as for other missing materials, he could buy or borrow, so he didn't have to worry at all.

He did not order the old accounts to be checked, but the staff cleaned these warehouses to collect and release the money and food that he had transported, and of course the guards had to use their own people.

Those members of the state government were also secretly relieved to see him deal with him like this, and painted a portrait of Li Tai in their hearts, thinking that the new envoy was a bold and powerful, loose and unruly person.

But in fact, in Li Tai's view, it is useless to pursue these past events, as long as people and things are still in this land, he can always get them all back through other means. When he really says the same, it's time to start making rules.

When the people and horses in Jingzhou City who followed the arrival of the new envoy were still busy settling down and taking over various affairs, the people around the city were in turmoil again, and the three officials who went out to welcome the new envoy yesterday and left first were all missing and did not return to the department.

Today's Jingzhou is already in an uproar and uncomfortable because of Li Taiqianglong's entry, and the powerful and barbarian chieftains are even more nervous and have many speculations after hearing about it.

The most suspicious of them is naturally the new envoy, after all, the three of them each lead an unequal number of followers, and they are very familiar with this situation, even if they are robbed by bandits, they can get rid of it flexibly. Now it has disappeared without a trace, and it is the case with all three people, and it is definitely not an ordinary force that does it.

Although they didn't know why Li Tai did this, after all, although Li Tai was a little strong at the party yesterday, and he seemed to be arbitrary when attacking Xiangyang, he was still friendly in other aspects, especially the bold and atmospheric methods that are memorable......

But apart from this new envoy, they couldn't think of anyone else who was more suspicious. There are contradictions among the villagers, but this direct and silent abduction of people is not their usual method of fighting in the countryside!

As the news spread and suspicion grew, many powerful and barbarian chieftains either found various excuses, or simply returned to their headquarters quietly, not daring to stay in the vicinity of Jingzhou City any longer.

When Li Tai saw that many local officials had left the state capital under the pretext of leaving the state capital, he knew in his heart that the matter should have been heard.

Of course, he wouldn't give these people much time to discuss the tandem, so he led a convoy of heavily armed men and horses to leave the state city and go to the nearest family to the city where the three captives were strongholds.

One of the three captives was named Huang Fulong, who was the governor of Xinye County and the lord of Dongqiu, and was a chieftain of the water barbarians. The east hill where it is located is the fort on the mound in the east of the city, which is less than a mile away from the city, and it can be reached out of the city.

At this time, in the Dongqiu War, Huang Fulong's clan members were all anxious and chaotic because of the disappearance of the leader. At the same time, there were many leaders of other tribes in the fort who rushed to hear the news, and they all came here to inquire about the inside situation and wait and see the situation.

But before they could come up with a plan here, a soldier came to report that the new envoy directly led the men and horses to surround the fort.

After hearing this, everyone climbed the head of the fort wall and looked out, and saw that the city gate was wide open, and the people and horses who had just settled in the city were constantly marching out of the array outside the fort, a fierce and sharpening knife......

"How dare he? Aren't you afraid of the Liang people......"

Some people still had to argue and be courageous, and suddenly remembered that last night, the new envoy had vowed to send troops to attack Xiangyang, how could he not dare to attack them because he was afraid of the Liang people?

They panicked here, but the men and horses outside the city made a new move, and a group of soldiers wielded tools to dig a trench under the mound, and piled up the excavated earth into a platform that was soon piled up to a height of more than a zhang, and the top was also several feet long.

In the frightened and vigilant eyes of the crowd in the fort, Li Tai, who was wearing fine armor, slowly stepped onto the stage from under the arch of several soldiers in front and behind, and shouted loudly in the direction of the fort: "Dongqiu Commander Huang Dudu and others disappeared last night, and I know that I am suspicious." I am a newcomer to the town, and I am not guilty because I am not suspicious, but this matter must be thoroughly investigated!

From now on, whether it is an official or a head of the Qian, if there are clues that can sue the official and verify the truth, ten horses will be given. There are those who can rescue the missing and protect them home, and the reward is ten catties! ”

With his order, the soldiers below carried the silk silk as a reward and piled it on the high platform, and thousands of silk horses were piled up on the high platform, and another thirty one-pound gold cakes were divided into three piles, indicating that the three missing owners.

The heroes in the fort saw Li Tai's shot yesterday is hundreds of catties of gold, although this time they were also surprised, but the impact was not great.

However, the other people in the fort were a little dumbfounded for a while when they saw so many goods piled up on the high platform, and they were still worried about the danger of the chieftain before, and their minds were full of how many materials could be purchased with so much money at this time?

"Please, may I ask you, what is a definite clue? The lord and the lord went out yesterday, and the jujube red horse he rode had a white spot on his left abdomen, and many people saw it, is this true? ”

A brute in the fort hesitated and couldn't help but shout.

When Li Tai heard this, he pointed at him and said loudly: "Get out of the fort and get rewarded!" ”

As he spoke, he ordered his soldiers on the high platform to carry ten horses of silk and send them down. When the barbarian heard this, he couldn't help but shout excitedly, even if he wanted to squeeze down the head of the fortress, and the other barbarians didn't have time to care about the others, they all searched their stomachs and thought about the so-called clues and shouted loudly, lest they be rewarded by others first.

But for a moment, the crowd was so loud that it was completely unclear what they were shouting.

So Li Tai waved his hand again and used the drum order to suppress these noises, and then said loudly: "Although you will save the Lord's heart, but if the masses are out of control, nothing will be accomplished!" I don't ask about the internal affairs of your clan, so I quickly push a principal out of the fort to see me and discuss the matter of saving people! ”

Hearing this, the atmosphere in the fort was somewhat subdued, and after a short time, the gate of the fort opened, and a middle-aged barbarian who looked a little like Huang Fulong walked out. There were several other domestic heroes who were accompanied by him, but their faces were a little embarrassed.

"The last general, Huang Fuhu, is the blood brother of Huang Dudu, to meet the envoy and implore the envoy to save his brother!"

When the barbarian walked to the top of the platform, he bowed to Li Tai.

Li Tai slowly walked down the high platform, looked down at this Huang Fuhu and said, "Although your brother's life is heavy, my innocence is also not light!" Whoever takes advantage of my entry to commit such an evil act must be intended to disturb my control of state affairs! The high platform here is used as a reward, and it is also used to hoe and suppress evil, if I know that anyone in the state harbors evil intentions and does evil, then blood will be sprinkled on this platform! ”

When he said the last sentence, he turned his gaze to the other heroes behind him. Although these people were afraid of Li Tai's strong people, they would have a clear conscience if they only had this matter, so they each bowed their heads and said: "The ruling of the king is wise, and the last general and others are also looking forward to being able to investigate and arrest the thieves as soon as possible!" ”

"It's not just about expecting, it's about acting. Although I am the lord of this town, but it is just a false name, you have lived in the township for a long time, and you are well versed in the township, you are the real master of this township, and you are more responsible for cleaning up the township! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he reprimanded with a straight face, and then said in a deep voice: "I know that you are busy with your own business and family affairs, and you don't think you have much spare time for this matter. Forcibly appointing people will inevitably make it difficult for the masses. If you can find the lost person, you will be rewarded with 3,000 horses of silk and 50 catties of gold, regardless of life or death. Half of the reward is for the official, and half is for the household. ”

When several people heard this, they immediately became excited again, and one of them couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this true? ”

"Could it be that the affection of my relatives and disciples who are eager to rescue Huang Dudu and others, and my eagerness to restore my innocence, are you still worthy of this mere wealth?"

When Li Tai heard this, he glared at him and said in displeasure, and then he lowered his head to look at the barbarian Huang Fuhu and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Deserved, deserved, deserved!"

That Huang Fuhu had never seen such a heroic state official, although he was shocked to hear the amount of goods, but in the face of Li Tai's forced gaze and the eager onlookers of others, he didn't dare to say that he was reluctant to offer a reward to rescue his brother, so he could only reply stubbornly.

"I'm so busy with things in the state that I don't have time to look at this matter for a long time. You and the other three masters, in the sense of reason, can not stay out of the matter, each send a slave here to guard the high platform here, to observe the voice of the group, and pay when you see it. I believe that you will be more sincere in dealing with things than others, so I will not let the state officials supervise here. If the reward is exhausted, then report to the state government to make up for it, if you don't investigate it thoroughly, you will never give up! ”

Hearing Li Tai say this, Huang Fuhu, who was still a little entangled and embarrassed, suddenly nodded again and again: "Please rest assured, the last general and the last general will work hard to collect news to restore your innocence!" ”

Li Tai was very satisfied with Huang Fuhu's statement, and turned his gaze to several other Haoqiang who had also begun to gear up, and Zhengse ordered: "This matter needs to be done carefully, but don't forget the matter of attacking Xiangyang after ten days." If the military period is delayed, the state government will never spare it! ”
