On the official road, the fighting spirit of the government soldiers was mobilized again, and they rushed up to kill, Yu Xian's rare anger burned and pointed at the third master and shouted.

"If you want to eat our goods in the dark, then keep your eyes open and see what's in the car? The news has already spread, even if you kill us, you won't be able to escape, and all of you, if you dare to touch the goods of the Huating Marquis Mansion, you will be beaten into a thief, and the nine clans will be connected. ”

Saying a wave of the black knife, the fighting spirit soared to the sky, and the words were even louder, shocking everyone to stop, rebellion is a big crime, Yi Jiu clan, no one dares to get involved, the third master panicked, just now he rushed to kill, just wanted to kill all the people in one go, and then pushed it to the bandits, I didn't expect the idea to be so prickly, and then look at the smashed carriage, which was full of debris, where is the salt, and suddenly realized that he had been fooled, his face changed greatly, and other people in the know also looked at the carriage, his pupils shrank sharply, panicked, and everyone did it in vain without salt, will also carry the reputation of anti-thieves and affect the family, how can this be good? Seeing that his henchmen were shaken, the third master decided that he couldn't go on like this, so he hurriedly reminded him.

"Hugh has to talk nonsense, disturb the hearts of our army, you are bandits who kill people and rob goods, the generals will listen to the order and kill them all, otherwise no one will survive."

A sentence that no one can survive woke up many people in an instant, the thing has been done, the left and right are dead, it is better to fight, Yu Xian saw everyone's thoughts, pointed at the third master and shouted.

"If you want to die, come here, Lao Tzu is afraid that you will not succeed, and if you don't want to become a thief, get out of the house immediately, and the Huating Marquis Mansion can not blame the past."

The words instantly separated the government soldiers, and they all moved their minds, Yu Xian took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued to shout.

"You can see clearly, the carriage is a sundry, not a valuable cargo, if we are bandits, how can we stay here and wait for death? Ran early. ”

The soldiers stopped one after another, looked at the carriage, and their puzzled eyes gradually became frightened, thinking, yes, how can there be bandits guarding a bunch of useless sundries and other officers and soldiers to kill, seeing that these people are really the Huating Marquis Mansion caravan, even if it is an ordinary caravan, everyone is a capital crime, and the soldier's obedience to orders and commands is true, but no one wants to be coerced and used, knowing that it is a pit and jumping into it, they all hesitated, Yu Xian also took the opportunity to signal his subordinates to stop shooting arrows and firing to show sincerity, the third master saw that the army was in turmoil, and completely messed up, But there was no way to retreat, so in a fit of rage, he cut down a few people around him and yelled.

"Give it all to Lao Tzu, otherwise there will be no forgiveness."

The ferocity is a manifestation of weakness, and the soldiers of the government are more and more determined in their guesses, and they retreat one after another.

"Who dares to touch the guards?"

There was a break from drinking, and then a Pegasus came over.

"Sigh law~" The war horse rushed up to a sharp stop, the person stood up, full of momentum, and after the war horse stabilized, the cold gaze instantly locked on the third master, and shouted.

"This official is the Marquis of Chaohua Pavilion, and Li Yong, the commander of the Maritime Yamen, who are you?"

"Hua Tinghou?"

"Commander of the Maritime Yamen?"

The government soldiers were shocked and retreated.

No one dared to pretend to be the Marquis of Huating and the commander of the Maritime Yamen, otherwise it would be a capital crime, not to mention that the soldiers of the government saw that the person was extraordinary, and his tone was firm, not like a fake, so he immediately panicked, continued to retreat, and distanced himself from the third master, the third master did not know Li Yong, and saw that his subordinates were suppressed, and they would definitely die if they continued like this, so they hurriedly shouted.

"It's impossible for Huatinghou to come here, you are a fake, don't be afraid, kill him."

"This official has already made his identity clear, and those who dare to do it will be punished for the crime of rebellion according to the law, and there will be no forgiveness for killing, and someone will come!"

"In!"

Whether it was a hundred militiamen, or the marines, they shouted almost at the same time, and their morale was like a rainbow.

"Put down your weapons and surrender on your knees, don't kill, and the rest will not be killed!"

"Obey!"

Everyone rushed towards the third master, full of guts, what about one or two thousand soldiers and horses? According to the killing, Li Yong rushed forward first, put on a strong posture to suppress the soldiers, took the opportunity to kill the third master, and pacified the chaos, the third master also understood that he had no way to retreat, gritted his teeth, threw a look at the many henchmen beside him, hit the horse and rushed up, picked up the weapon and slashed at Li Yong, "When~" Li Yong blocked the opponent's weapon with a knife, and then quickly slashed over, as fast as lightning, "poof~" A muffled sound, the third master directly cut off in two, screamed and his body was split into two and fell, one move, second kill, this scene is too fast, Everyone who was fast didn't react, and looked at the fallen third master in a daze, Li Yong would not be used to these people, if he dared to stretch out his hand, he had to bear the anger and rush towards the others, "Puff puff~" At this moment, Li Yong is like a god of war, the black knife in his hand seems to have life, and he opens the bow left and right, no one can catch a move, a knife and a child.

Yu Xian was worried about Li Yong's safety, so he hurriedly came up to help, and the two went hand in hand, rushing to kill, the marines were like wolves and tigers, cutting people when they saw them, and no one could stop them.

A hundred militia teams also rushed up, abandoned the bow and arrow, and held the black knife again, his face was as cold as frost, the powerful fighting spirit, the terrifying combat power, and the fearless killing shocked everyone, everyone saw that the third master was beheaded, and several officers also fell, and the morale collapsed instantly, and they dismounted and lost their weapons, knelt down and begged for mercy, as soon as the hundreds of henchmen around the third master died, the battle was over, Li Yong stared coldly at the people around him, his eyes were like knives, and everyone lowered his head in fright, thinking of the majesty of the rumored Chinese Pavilion, he was even more frightened, and the square inch was in chaos, Don't even dare to have the idea of escaping, the government soldiers obeyed the order, Li Yong did not rush to kill them all, and rode to a person dressed as a captain, the captain is a low-level officer in the army, directly in charge of two hundred people, not big or small, playing the role of connecting the upper and lower levels, shouted and asked.

"Get up and talk back, who are you, and why are you attacking this official caravan?"

Where did the other party dare to get up, he didn't dare to raise his head when he knelt on the ground, for fear of being cut with a knife, so he hurriedly said.

"Back to my lord, we are soldiers of the Lizhou Mansion, as for why we attacked the caravan of adults, I don't know if I am lowly, three ...... The third master came to the barracks to transfer troops, held tokens, and could only obey his humble duties. ”

"What token?"

"Token of the Governor's Mansion."

Li Yong's face changed, and he asked.

"That means you're getting permission from the Governor's Office."

"Yes, there is no token, let alone mobilize 2,000 people, even if 200 people can't be mobilized, this is the rule."

Of course Li Yong knows this rule, but he just wants to confirm one thing, is there a shadow of the Lizhou Governor's Mansion behind this, and now he confirms that there are more doubts in his heart, there is no injustice and no hatred, why does the Lizhou Governor Wushi Tong target himself? This is unreasonable, asked.

"Who are you talking about, tell me in detail?"

"The third master is Hou Minghao, the captain of Lizhou Zhichong Mansion, who is the third in the family, so he is called the third master, and he is him."

Zhichong Mansion is in charge of the soldiers of a state, and the Lieutenant Zhichong is the general of the supreme army, Li Yong asked curiously.

"Family, their family is big?"

"Their family is the largest salt merchant in the entire Shannan West Road."

Li Yong realized a little, it turned out that he was born as a salt merchant, this is to eat black and eliminate competitors?

"You go back and inform the Governor's Mansion, and let the warrior Tong come and collect the people in person."

"This ......"

The other party was a little afraid, but when he thought of taking the opportunity to leave here and live, he hurriedly agreed, and left in a hurry on horseback, the other soldiers were full of envy, but no one dared to move, Li Yong didn't bother to care about them, and said to Yu Xian.

"Wake up a few and ask about the situation, and what other bandits will be interrogated."

Yu Xian hurriedly agreed, and led the people to interrogate.

Li Yong looked at the militia and continued to ask.

"I performed well in the battle just now, and I will be rewarded when I look back, are there any casualties?"

"Back to Master Hou, there are only a few minor injuries, and it's not a big problem."

"No matter how big or small the injury is, let the military doctor take a look."

"Obey."

The person who spoke agreed, the interrogation went very smoothly, and several of the third master's henchmen were all recruited after being taught a violent lesson, Li Yong didn't expect that this bullshit third master was actually the niece and son-in-law of the Lizhou Governor Wu Shi Tong, no wonder he could transfer troops over, this Wu Shi Tong may not know that he was on the scene, but it is impossible not to know that the caravan is his own, why did he still send troops?

"What does he want to do? Help the black eat the black and take the opportunity to make a floating fortune? ”

One thought flashed in my mind, a governor of Lizhou is not terrible, the so-called largest salt merchant in Shannan West Road is not a problem, but when it comes to other things, I have to think more, plan and then move, half an hour later, on the official road, a team of people and horses hurried over, the man led by about fifty, wearing official robes, his face was anxious, the soldiers waiting to be disposed of have moved out of the way, his eyes were full of expectation, many officers came forward to salute, the people who came did not care about the salute, turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward quickly.

"Xiaguan Lizhou, the governor of Wushi Tong, has seen Huating Hou."

Li Yong, who was sitting in the carriage, did not get up to return the salute, turned his head to look at the other party, looked a little rich, there was a strong smell of wine on his body, his eyes were anxious, but he couldn't see the confusion after being drunk, this detail made Li Yong realize that something was wrong, he didn't reply, he didn't reply, he wanted to see what the hell this old man who had never met, Wu Shi Tong didn't dare to hold it up, although he was a prince of the country, Li Yong was only a county marquis, but Li Yong's deep Li Er trusted, not to mention that he was still the husband of his two daughters, he felt ridiculous when he said it, and the two of them met like this.

"Hou Ye Li, Hou Minghao, the commander of Zhechong, is the niece and son-in-law of the lower officials, came to invite the lower officials to drink at noon, he was happy for a while, he couldn't help but be greedy, and he was drunk, but I didn't expect that bastard to take the opportunity to steal the seal letter of the lower official, forge the transfer documents, take away the transfer token, and cause a monstrous disaster, this official must be strict, and please forgive Hou Ye Li."

A drunk will throw off the responsibility cleanly, and give Hou Minghao a charge of stealing the seal letter, forging documents, and transferring troops without permission, this crime is a conspiracy, ruthless enough, Li Yong glanced at Hou Minghao, who was already dead, did not break it, continued to stare at Wu Shi Tong, his eyes became cold, what Hou Minghao said during the interrogation just now was that he mentioned the transfer of troops to suppress bandits when he was drinking, Wu Shi Tong took the initiative to hand over the seal letter and tokens, but it was not stolen when he was drunk, one of the two lied, maybe Wu Shi Tong pretended to be drunk, brushed himself off, and did not admit it afterwards, forced Hou Minghao to hand over and rob the finances; Maybe he deliberately gave the seal letter to Hou Minghao through wine, and if the incident happened, he would shirk his responsibility on the grounds of drunkenness, just like now, no matter what, Wu Shi Tong can't get out of it, Yu Xian held down the handle of the knife with one hand, and he had a posture of doing it at any time, and the invisible murderous aura shrouded the past, Wu Shi Tong felt a chill, his neck shrank, and he panicked even more, seeing Li Yong's cold gaze like a knife, he said again.

"Hou Ye Li, this official will arrange to surround Hou Minghao's family and raid the house, and the lower officials will tell the truth and ask the court to deal with it."

The siege of Hou Minghao's family is to nail the crime to Hou Minghao alone, it seems that he will atone for his crimes, but in fact he has ulterior motives, as for telling the court, it is just reminding Li Yong that he is an official of the court, even if there is a mistake, the court has to deal with it, you can't do anything with him, of course Li Yong understands this rule, but the other party actually threatened, even if it is in disguise, it is unforgivable, killing the other party is happy, but it is too cheap for the other party, the thought flashed in his heart, Li Yong said coldly.

"Hou Minghao intends to rebel, how to judge is a matter of the imperial court, are you negligent, or deliberately instigated, you have your own court decision, my loss can not be held accountable, I heard that the Hou family is the largest salt merchant in several states in Shannan West Road, I will give you five days, I will see 100,000 stone salt as compensation within five days, one day overdue, I will personally come to the door to urge, then it will not be compensation, and the whole family of the Hou family is waiting for the court to deal with it at home, if one escapes, you should know my means."

100,000 stones is the limit of the Hou family, and it has been asked during the interrogation just now, first hollowing out the Hou family, and then slowly liquidating, if you dare to stretch out your hand, you must bear the anger.

"This?"

Wu Shi Tong's face changed greatly, he was not sure if the Hou family could take out 100,000 stones, and besides, Hou Minghao committed such a big crime, the Hou family would definitely escape, how could he stop it? Isn't that embarrassing yourself?

"Can't do it?"

Li Yong's eyes were cold, and Yu Xian directly drew the knife, and the sound of the knife coming out of the sheath was terrifying.

Wu Shi Tong also came out of the war, but after all, he was a Wenchen, and his courage was a little worse, seeing Yu Xian's posture of wanting to do it, thinking of the mistakes he had made, it would not be good if he really cut off his head, he could only suppress his anger and say.

"Then do it, what else does Hou Ye Li command?"

"Get out with your people."

Li Yong said in a cold voice to his old man very unceremoniously, not long after, Wu Shi Tong left with the soldiers and the corpse, but the prisoner was detained, and a chill flashed in his eyes when he turned to leave, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Let the warrior Tong deal with the Hou family first, dog eats dog, let's get some benefits, and then slowly clean them up later, don't think about running away."

Yu Xian reminded.

"Master Hou, the warrior Tong is ......."

"I know what you want to say, I'll talk to my wife, and also, during the interrogation just now, the bandits said that there are still dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the old nest, you take fifty people on a trip, the elderly, women and children and children will be pardoned, and the others will not be left, and the property will be brought back to make up for the loss, and the other fifty people will drive the damaged carriage back to Lizhou to repair it, and the remaining militia will drive back to the salt pit if it is not broken."

"Yes."

Yu Xian agreed, and hurriedly arranged the manpower, and soon, a group of people rushed to Lizhou with the damaged carriage, Yu Xian took another fifty people into the mountains, and the rest of the militia took the prisoners and drove the other carriages back. Coming to the big pit, the carriage was kept in a centralized manner, and a person who was good at raising livestock was selected from the mining people to take care of the mules and horses, and everyone returned to the big pit to continue refining salt, Li Yong thought about today's events, revealing the smell of conspiracy inside and out. At dusk, Yu Xian and the others returned, covered in blood, looking very tired, but their eyes were blazing, full of excitement, carrying big bags one by one, looking very heavy, everyone went down to the pit and hid the bags in the exclusive cave of the Marine Corps, Yu Xian casually cleaned his face, saw Li Yong coming, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and whispered.

"General, the Niufu Mountain Thieves' Nest is a pot, none of them ran away, they are all young and strong, there are no women, children and old people, and a batch of gold has been seized, at least 10,000 gold, and tens of thousands of silver."

"These bandits are quite fat."

Li Yong was happy when he heard it, this is a lot of money.

"That's not it, there are still some green salt, cloth, and medicinal herbs, I really can't carry it, I found a place to bury it, and I have time to get it when I turn around, and the thief's den burned him clean."

Li Yong praised.

"The bandits are not producing, cloth, green salt and medicinal materials are estimated to be looting caravans, and they are burned well, so as not to have someone occupy the mountain as the king, this time your marines and militia have made a great contribution, and one person will be rewarded with an additional hundred yuan, and the salary will be calculated separately, and you will take a thousand yuan."

"Thank you, Admiral."

The Marines and the militia were all excited, compared with a hundred pieces of silver, everyone valued the contribution to Huating County more Li Yong saw that the morale was good, and said with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, maybe there are still people secretly staring here, don't be careless, the militia team lives in those thatched huts on the ground, squeeze it, make a living, you must pay attention to vigilance."

"Yes."

And they answered with joy.

"Alright, let's divide the money."

Li Yong smiled, went up and opened a bag, and took out a piece of banknotes issued by Xishan Bank from it and distributed them to them, five days later, in the afternoon, Wu Shi Tong came back with more than 100 mouths and 100,000 stone salt from the Hou family, as well as all kinds of treasures and antiques, more than a dozen carts, this move made Li Yong secretly vigilant, realizing that Wu Shi Tong was a ruthless person, in order to clear up the relationship and protect himself, he insisted on serving the Hou family in a pot, and it can be understood when he thinks about it, although the evidence is insufficient, but Wu Shi Tong can't run away for a crime of negligence, and now he is ordered to arrest him, if he still lets go of the Hou family, That's not a negligence, but an accomplice, a crime of killing officials and rebelling can't run, and now the Hou family is different, wearing a crime and making meritorious contributions, maybe there will be a reward, ruthless enough, decisive enough, no wonder his daughter can be called the emperor, with the root, Li Yong walked out of the big pit, met on the ground, looked at the long convoy, the desperate Hou family, did not make any more trouble, waved his hand and said.

"Governor Wudu, although this official is a victim, but the matter of the Hou family is handled by the imperial court, you should also go back to Chang'an to report everything to the saint, let you escort it back, tell the saint that the 100,000 stone salt is compensation, remember to send it to my house after the verdict."

Li Yong doesn't want to deal with such a big case directly, so as not to fall into the hands of others, but the interests that should be fought for must not be less at all, so hand it over to Li Er first and see how he handles it.

"What Marquis Li said is that this official will leave early tomorrow morning."

Wu Shi Tong promised, someone under his rule plotted to kill the first rank of the imperial court, and also mobilized 2,000 soldiers and horses, the key is his niece and son-in-law, and also took the seal letter from himself, he is very suspicious, and he needs to go to Chang'an in person to explain the situation and wait for the disposal, and soon, Wu Shi Tong returned with people and disappeared from view, Li Yong watched Wu Shi Tong leave, his eyes were solemn.

"It's not easy."

Yu Xian couldn't help but whisper.

"Yes, it's not easy for me to be an old man."

"Ramp up production and come back in five days."

"Understood."

Yu Xian responded.
