"After coming back, the minister examined the people who were captured from the private salt workshop, but he didn't expect that the leaders had all died, and the rest were ordinary people, who were hired by them to beg for some hard-earned money, and they didn't know anything about these people."

"The minister has no choice but to send more people to search everywhere, but the bandits have failed repeatedly and repeatedly, and sometimes the minister has received a secret report on the front foot, and the people and horses sent out have not yet left the camp, and the gang of bandits got the news in advance and ran away...... The more the minister thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, these people came too strangely, and there were a lot of weapons used, and the slave thought that it was likely that there was the support of the Jiangnan gentry, and there must be a master behind it. ”

Ouyang and Zhiyun glanced at each other, and both frowned, now the intelligence system in the hands of the two of them is quite developed, although the power in Jiangnan is not as good as the capital, but big and small things, few can escape their eyes, this time, Zhejiang quietly has an extra force...... Ouyang immediately decided to go back and replace the leader of the sticky pole in Jiangnan.

Ouyang and Li Wei chatted until it was dark, had dinner, and took Zhiyun out to enjoy the night view of the south of the Yangtze River, and then stopped, their main purpose was to play leisurely and suppress the affairs of bandits, which was incidental.

But even if it was incidental, Ouyang secretly made a move, and the energy of the government completely exploded, and the efficiency was much faster than Li Wei's, and it only took less than half a day to investigate the bottom of the private salt workshop clearly.

This workshop is an old family surnamed the family, in the early years was also a salt merchant, three years ago, the family fell, the workshop was sold, the buyer is said to be a big businessman in the capital, surnamed Su, the Su family took over the workshop, and started to trade private salt.

"Su ...... Sue...... This surname? ”

Ouyang glanced at Zhiyun, "It seems that the big merchants in the capital don't have the surname Su, but they are a concubine of a small family, and their maiden name is Su. ”

"You have a good memory, I don't have a deep impression of this Su Mei, I just remember that it seems to be your younger brother Yunzhen gave it to Xiao, not only Xiaoyou, you, but also Honghao and Hongday, a well-trained Jiangnan skinny horse, that is a smooth and beautiful ......"

"Poof...... cough, cough, cough, cough ......" Li Wei squirted out a sip of tea, quickly lowered his head, looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Ahem......" Ouyang swallowed the tea, glanced at Li Wei with a smile, and then patted his daughter-in-law and said, "What do you say?" Let's discuss the ...... here."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard an exclamation from outside—"There are assassins"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of weapons intersecting, but it only rang for a while, and before Li Wei could go out in shock, all the sounds outside fell silent.

"The slave is dead, and the master is shocked."

Ouyang stood up and opened the door, and saw an ordinary-looking man outside, with a thin figure in blue on one knee.

"Get up, have you caught it?"

"Go back to the master, kill thirteen people, capture two alive, and never use firearms."

Hearing the words of the man in blue, for some reason, Li Wei suddenly felt furious in his heart, not to say how ugly this man's voice was, in fact, his tone was gentle, his voice was low and pleasant, and it would never make people feel uncomfortable, but there was a smell of blood in his nose, and it was difficult not to make people tremble in the bottom of his heart when he heard him so calm and peaceful, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Li Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself--Who are the people who are following the master? It looks more fierce than the Praetorian Guard...... It seems that there is no need to worry about the safety of the Long Live Lord.

Ouyang glanced at the assassin twice, and saw a large pile of bits and pieces of various life-threatening objects found from these people, as well as the few fangs that had been removed from his mouth, and just ordered to hand it over to the 'Mu Eleven' who was in charge of torture, and threw it aside.

Although these people are specially trained dead soldiers to do dirty work, it is difficult to pry open a mouth, but magic, there are many ways to make people tell the truth, even if it is based on 'humanitarianism', without using soul searching spells that directly act on the soul, all kinds of potions with different effects are enough for these people to confide everything they know.

Sure enough, it only took half an hour for the two dead soldiers to open their mouths, obviously, such dead soldiers have been counted as a very important force of the other party, and they still know a little bit about their details, at least they said that the other party's den is a small fishing village called 'Zhangjiawu' near the sea in Jiangning......

The next development turned out to be a little weird.

Li Weicai sent people to surround Zhangjiawu and carefully search for the Jiang bandits, but before an hour had passed, four big families in the south of the Yangtze River actually came forward and ran to Li Wei's governor's mansion to spread the word vaguely.

All in all, it is to warn Li Wei that the water in this matter is very deep, he had better let it go and not investigate it again, otherwise, it will provoke the other party's dog to jump over the wall, even if he can't help it, Lord Governor, but only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thief the day before yesterday, Lord Li is old and young, and he can't ignore his wife and children.

The implication is that the other party is an outlaw, and if he can send a group of assassins and dead soldiers, he can send a second or third batch, if Li Wei is not sure to cut them down, they may harm Li Wei's relatives in order to take revenge. Even if you can't do anything to Li Wei, at least you can mess with their Li family, and it will be difficult for them to sleep and eat.

Li Wei was stunned at the time, and sent him away to pass the word, with a face-'I am thinking about you', the powerful people, ran to Ouyang, couldn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said something, and finally couldn't help but say: "Good guy, this bandit dares to threaten the court officials openly, long live the lord is here...... Oh my God, what kind of world is this?"

Ouyang and Zhiyun were also happy, although the other party definitely didn't know that the Long Live Lord was coming, but they just ran to the Governor's Mansion to threaten the Governor of Zhejiang, which is already a pretty big deal, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, these Jiangnan merchants, no matter how rich they are, he is also the people, Li Wei is the governor of a province, and he is a minister of heaven, where did they get so bold?

Zhiyun wondered: "These people have names and surnames in Jiangnan, and their family business is not small, when they encounter this kind of thing, they should not be able to hide, why are they stupid enough to expose themselves?" ”

"Unless...... They felt that their backstage was so big that Li Wei didn't dare to mess with it. ”

Ouyang frowned, what kind of person is Li Wei, his reputation is very great, he dared to go against the prince when he was a junior official in the past, and he was also very arrogant in front of his boss Mingde, and now he is the governor of a province, where can he stand this, if no one comes to threaten, he may act a little gentlely, but as soon as he is threatened, his strength is attacked, and he is stunned to surround the entire Zhangjiawu group, and search door to door.

Li Wei's soldiers are strong and strong, although these Jiang bandits seem to have some origins, but they are only a small village with less than 100 people, Li Wei really didn't take it seriously, and as a result, as soon as he fought, he found that it hurt the hornet's nest.

Every household in this village has weapons hidden, and even heavy crossbows, from eighty old women to young children, all of them can work with both hands, and they can pick up knives more neatly than soldiers.

In the end, Li Wei saw that it was not good, and he couldn't care about his face anymore, so he urgently asked Ouyang for help, and asked Ouyang to transfer a group of good hands at the sticky pole to help catch the leading bandit leader, and then the entire village was captured.

—————— Split ——————————————————————

Early in the morning, before dawn, Zhiyun and Ouyang took a boat to see the world-famous Yueyang Tower.

The two of them wore snow-white wool cloaks, and they did not salute anything, riding a batch of good horses and BMWs, but they walked slowly, not in a hurry.

Just returned from the warm Jiangnan, Zhiyun, looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky, couldn't bear to nest her whole body in the arms of her father-in-law.

said that they were specifically going to see Yueyang Tower, but the two of them still went around outside Yuezhou City, looked at the mountains and the water, and then took a boat along the river and headed towards Yueyang Tower.

The two of them are richly dressed, and their appearance is even more outstanding, at first glance, it is the duchess of a large family to go out to play, and it is not easy for people to run the dock, especially when the weather is cold, when they meet a big customer, they may be able to live a good year with a good year.

The captain who supported the boat for Zhiyun and the others was an old man with white hair, with a very smart granddaughter, his granddaughter was good-looking, with a slender figure, beautiful appearance, even if he always wore a hat to cover his face, but it was still easy to cause right and wrong, the old man was very cautious, for his granddaughter, it was easy not to pick up those single young men.

This time, when he met a good guest like Ouyang and Zhiyun, he naturally used all his skills, brewed the best tea on the ship, and asked his granddaughter to come over to help serve him.

The road is not far, not long after walking, Zhiyun looked up with a smile, as far as the eye could see, where the smoke waves, a huge city tower could be seen proudly standing.

This is Yueyang Tower.

Zhiyun exhaled and said with a smile: "This Yueyang Tower and Nanchang Tengwang Pavilion, Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower, Xuanzhou Xie Wei Tower and called the four famous buildings, I have seen Tengwang Pavilion, I have also seen the Yellow Crane Tower, the first of the four floors of Yueyang Tower, or the first time I have seen it, well, I hope not to disappoint me." ”

Ouyang hugged his daughter-in-law and stood at the bow of the boat, but he didn't answer Zhiyun's mouth, but blinked and changed the topic: "Don't you want to see the 'Heaven and Earth Society'?" Don't you want to see how the Tiandi Society founded by Chen Yonghua is? Why don't you wait for Li Wei to finish interrogating the Zhangjiawu villagers we caught before leaving? ”

Before Li Wei rounded up the bandits in Zhangjiawu, the two of them left first. No one thought about the follow-up immediately.
