Just when everything was on track in Lingwu County, Li Xing was preparing for a new school.

Something happened in Lingwu County that no one expected.

Cheng Yangxiu, the county of Lingwu County, died violently last night.

Li Xing immediately sent people to the scene of the death to investigate.

Yang Xiancheng died of poisoning, and poison is also very common, which is arsenic.

The arsenic was put in the wine, and Yang Xiancheng was drugged to death when he drank it.

died with him, in fact, there was also his concubine.

This is a strange thing.

After investigation, it was found that the arsenic was bought by his wife, but her reason was to use it to medicine mice.

Obviously, this reason is not convincing, coupled with the death of the concubine, so this case is determined to be a jealous murder.

But after Li Xing read the file, he always felt that something was wrong.

Because this case was solved so smoothly, the evidence seemed to have been prepared a long time ago.

If Yang wants to kill someone, why did she go to buy arsenic herself?

After the killing, why didn't the arsenic hide?

This is completely out of line with the common sense of the perpetrators.

In addition, during the interrogation, Yang kept shouting that he was wronged, so Li Xing let Yang go home first on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

This is a very normal verdict.

But the next day, a discordant voice spread throughout Lingwu County.

It is said that the reason why Li Xing did not convict the Yang family was because the two of them had already colluded, and the purpose was to eliminate dissidents and kill Yang Xiancheng.

This made Li Xing angry and asked Jiang Hong to solve the case as soon as possible.

This rumor angered Li Xing, but it also frightened the heads of the Liu family and the Wang family.

The two invariably sent someone to inform each other, and finally agreed to meet at a Fengyue place opened by Liu's family.

Entering the private room, the dancers retreated.

"Li Xing is really too much, not only suppressed the price of grain and salt, but now he has started to kill people, today he killed the county Cheng, won't he want to do something to us local clans tomorrow?"

The Wang family slapped the table angrily: "Brother Liu, the matter has come to this point, we have to make a decision early, we can't wait."

"I'm more anxious than you about this matter, but now that Woniu Mountain supports him, they are strong and strong, and if we do it now, we can only find a reason to eliminate it."

Master Liu also regretted a little at this time, how could he have been afraid of Li Xing's identity at the beginning and compromised.

If I knew that this kid was not a fuel-efficient lamp, I should have killed him as soon as possible.

"Are we going to sit still?"

The head of the Wang family was in a hurry.

His family is not as rich as the Liu family, and if Li Xing does something to him, it will be difficult for him to even resist.

Master Liu's face was gloomy and terrifying.

He certainly didn't want to sit still.

Because he knows his worth, if he loses the power of Lingwu.

Not only will the Liu family in Kyoto abandon him, but even if it is the Heavenly God Sect, I am afraid they will not let him go.

"Of course, we can't sit still, otherwise we will all follow in the footsteps of Yang County."

"Yang Xiancheng, was it really Li Xing who killed him?"

When the head of the Wang family heard the words of the head of the Liu family, his heart became more and more afraid.

The head of the Liu family nodded: "I can't be wrong, I have sent someone to secretly investigate the slaves of the Cheng family in Yang County, and they all recounted what happened, which is the medicine ordered by the Yang family."

"If that's the case, then it's troublesome, he completely controls the county government, and then there are soldiers and horses in Woniu Mountain, you and I alone can't compete with this person at all, Brother Liu, please save the soldiers!"

"I invited it a long time ago, but the Celestial God Sect said that the time was not ripe, and exposing it too early would only make it more passive."

The head of the Liu family looked a little weak at this time.

Of course, there was one thing he didn't say, that is, he sent a letter to the Liu family in Kyoto to explain the situation.

The Liu family not only did not send him people, but also scolded him in the letter.

"Brother Liu, you misunderstood, the rescue I was talking about was not the Heavenly God Sect, but the mountain you have secretly funded all these years

Bandits, you can let them unite and attack Woniu Mountain, as long as there are no soldiers and horses in Woniu Mountain, he Li Xing is not at the mercy of us."

The head of the Wang family spoke his mind.

The head of the Liu family shook his head: "Those mountain bandits are okay to rob houses and houses, but against Woniu Mountain, they will only send them to death."

"Brother Liu, you can let them pretend to be barbarians and speed up the looting of the grain and salt merchants in the past, those family economies are damaged, and they will inevitably bring Li Xing's extermination of the barbarians' 100 cavalry to the court, and when the time comes, as long as the courtiers and Your Majesty are guilty, Li Xing will be a rat crossing the street, let us handle it."

When the Wang family master said this, the eyes of the Liu family master couldn't help but light up.

"Brother Wang, you are really a dog-headed military advisor, this plan is very clever, sacrificing some of the waste of support in exchange for Li Xing's death, it is worth it."

……

Li Xing naturally didn't know the calculations behind the Liu family and the Wang family.

At this time, he had already arranged for the fine salt in exchange for a hundred war horses.

According to the agreement, go to a cave on the border between Lingwu County and the barbarians.

His people only need to transport salt into the cave, and that's it.

When you come back, you will pass by a forest.

There will be a hundred horses in the woods, and those who carry salt will only need to bring them back.

When the horse was brought back, it was identified by Ouyang Xiong and said that these were all good brute horses, and Li Xing was very happy.

Just check all the horses when they find a problem.

The horses turned out to be stallions, not a single mare.

The angry Jiang Hong scolded his mother directly: "That An Hu'er is really not a thing, spare his life, provide him with salt, and play with us like this."

Li Xing was not so angry.

Because he had long expected that Anhur would not be so honest.

It's just that he didn't expect to exchange all the horses he traded for stallions.

So he smiled and persuaded, "We need cavalry for training, and the same is true for stallions and mares, and when our cavalry is strong, go to the territory of the barbarians and rob their mares will solve the problem." Why be so angry?"

"Lao Li, although the truth is like this, this palace is still very angry."

Jiang Hong said very stubbornly.

Li Xing was speechless for a while, so he could only change the topic: "By the way, Brother Jiang, how is Yang Xiancheng's case investigated?"

"I don't know, Ouyang Xiong is responsible for this kind of trivial matter, I believe it won't be long before the truth will be revealed."

Jiang Hong replied very confidently.

Li Xing became more and more speechless, since this prince exposed his identity in front of everyone, he has become different from before.

If you become an emperor in the future, you don't care about business so much, you only think about the military, and you are a faint monarch who is reckless and militaristic.

"Brother Jiang, you'd better have a snack on this, I always feel that the person who walked this rumor has other intentions."

Li Xing reminded.

Jiang Hong still looked disappreciative: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and all conspiracies and tricks are floating clouds in the face of strength."

"I...... All right! What you say makes sense, so let's hurry up and train the bandits and cavalry in actual combat!"

Seeing the self-confident prince, Li Xing had no choice.

It seems that if you want him to change, you can only go through the training of actual combat.

Then the two began to study how to suppress the bandits.

At this moment, Qin Ruyu arrived on a fast horse, turned over and dismounted, and said a news that shocked the two.

"The salt-carrying team they escorted encountered a small force of barbarian cavalry in the territory of Lingwu."
