Isn't Wang Jin having news?

Chao Gai was overjoyed in his heart, this Wang Jiaotou is known as a hundred feet high, strong in martial arts, and is an amazing figure, now there is news and hope!

He hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his hands: "Oh, it turned out to be a senior disciple of the head of the Wang Sect." Brother, please hurry up, but there is news of master Wang Jin? ”

Ouyang Shoutong could feel Chao Gai's sincerity with the strength from his arm, nodded like pounding garlic, and sighed in his heart that there was indeed no vain under the fame. No wonder he is so famous, and Shaanxi hero Zhou Tong also has a lot of praise.

"Okay, Sect Leader Wang is alive?" Chao Gai was overjoyed and asked.

"Well, the younger brother happened to know that the master had an accident that day, so he kept asking around, and finally found out that the master is now being detained......"

"Brother, this is not the place to speak." Chao Gai hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt, signaling not to talk nonsense, and turned his eyes to look at a big man walking over.

This person is eight feet five or six tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, muscles knotted on his two arms, a nine-section whip tied around his waist, upright facial features, a popular face, and a simple but imposing appearance, at first glance, he is not an ordinary person!

The big man kept looking at Chao Gai and saw that he was dignified and mighty. Seeing him turn his head again, he took a few steps forward and bowed: "Little... The younger brother is called the brocade python horse... Ma Yuan, meet the king brother. ”

Ma Ma Yuan?

Chao Gai frowned slightly, the name is a bit strange,

Ouyang Shoutong obviously encountered this kind of thing, and hurriedly explained: "Brother, this guy doesn't speak very well, his surname is Ma Dan Yuan, he is good at using nine-section whips, and he has good skills in the water, and he is known as the brocade scale python." Loyal and honest, I tracked all the way to Dengzhou, fortunately with his help. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Ma Yuan, hurry up." Chao Gai was secretly amused when he heard the explanation, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hands to help the man up.

Ouyang Shoutong obviously had a good relationship with Ma Yuan, and said good things next to him. She traced the news from Shaanxi to Dengzhou, got acquainted with Ma Yuan, the head of the land, and finally determined the whereabouts of her master Wang Jin with his help.

Ma Yuannai is a well-known salt lord in Dengzhou, who trafficks illicit salt to the mainland. There are also a few brothers who are Zhou Xing of the Iron City Wall, Emperor Fuxiong of Feilian, Wang Bochao of the Black God of Murder, Yong'er of Ghost Sorrow, and Helian Jinming of the Fierce Lang.

The six brothers were highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in water, leading hundreds of people to occupy the island. engaged in the sale of boiled sea salt, his whereabouts were hidden, and he was not detected by the government. Even Chao Gai, a private salt boss, has not heard much of it.

But without hindering the praise, Chao Gai pulled the other party and gave affirmation: "Brother, you are risking your lives so that the people can eat cheap refined salt, you are really righteous!" Who doesn't pick a thumbs up wherever they go? ”

Ma Yuan is an upright man, and when he heard the praise, he smiled honestly: "Hey, private... It is not easy to do private salt trading, and the government ships... Ships patrol frequently, and most of them are aware of it. Follow Ou... The Ouyang brothers walked together to Qinfeng Road. Get... learned about the deeds of Brother Chao Gai and wanted to take refuge. ”

"Hahaha, brother, you brothers are proficient in water and can fight in the sea, so it's too timely." Chao Gai looked up to the sky and laughed, very happy.

I'm very interested in the salt lord gang that occupies the island, this is talent! The navy army is basically a widow, and as long as the integration is smooth, the deputy can be arranged.

Chao Gai was happy, but someone stared at him deadly, his eyes were like knives, and his eyes were spewing fire. The tied guy whined and struggled violently to brush the present.

"I almost forgot about this guy!" Ouyang Shoutong saw the captive and patted his head.

"Brother, this kid was caught by us on the way, and those good horses and the gold and silver on them are all captured, and they are also our greeting gifts. This group of guys is still hard-headed, and they have to be beaten to tell the truth. ”

After that, the strong man told him about the previous encounter with a team of more than a dozen people and the conflict. Although Ma Yuan stuttered a little, he was happy to add.

Of course, the two men are not stupid, they hide their violence, they only say that others are arrogant and arrogant, they not only scold people when they open their mouths, but they are not good birds at first glance, etc. Anyway, killing out the dozen or so unknown people is a last resort.

Chao Gai didn't care whether the two men had violent tendencies, and when he heard that the group of people who were killed hated him, he guessed that eight or nine would not be far from ten. Walked in front of the captive who was tied up with five flowers and had hemp walnuts in his mouth, grabbed his hair and looked carefully, although the other party was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, but he could vaguely distinguish that it was really a fish that slipped through the net, Zeng Sheng.

"Ouch, Zeng Sheng, it's really you kid, God won't let you run!"

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and looked at the remnants of the Zeng family, and agreed very much: "Yes, Zeng Tou City has done a lot of evil and oppressed the people for many years, and heaven does not tolerate it. ”

Originally, the search was fruitless, and he didn't have much hope for the arrest of Zeng Sheng. Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, Ouyang Shoutong happened to meet and caught and sent it. Such a coincidence, can't this be said to be providential?

Ouyang Shoutong and Ma Yun didn't know all about this matter and were very curious, so Xu Guanzhong told Zengtou City in detail about provoking Chaojiazhuang for no reason and how to bully the surrounding people. Everyone shook their punching fists, eager to go up and pound them.

"By the way, I remembered." Ouyang Shoutong patted his head, a little annoyed: "There was a remnant who pretended to be dead and ran away, but I didn't know that I didn't chase it at the time." ”

"Run, run, don't blame yourself." Chao Gai waved his hand, signaling that it was okay: "You don't have to think about it to know that you will definitely flee to the north, anyway, sooner or later it will collide with the Jin Kingdom, I want to see how powerful the Jurchen Iron Cavalry is." ”

Zhang San, a rat crossing the street, was instructed by Chao Gai to step forward and take down the hemp walnut from the captive's mouth. Zeng Sheng coughed a few times, struggled violently, and roared again and again.

"Ah, Chao Gai, if you kill my whole family, I won't let you go. The army of our Jin Kingdom will definitely sweep south and avenge my family. Just wait! Definitely feel that despair, hahaha......"

Zeng Sheng knew that he would definitely die if he was caught, he didn't beg for mercy, he only stared at his neck, he only vented, he only stared at Chao Gai with hatred, gritted his teeth, if his eyes could kill, he had killed Chao Gai thousands of times.

"Zeng Sheng, you didn't feel it when you bullied others, but now you feel very wronged when you are retaliated against, and you think that others have lost their conscience and are cold-blooded and cruel. What right to blame others, the cycle of cause and effect, everything is self-inflicted. Chao Gai looked at each other coldly, as if looking at a dead person.

"It's not that Chao is ruthless, it's that you cross the bottom line. Don't worry, I'll send you to your father and brother to hell to atone for your sins. ”

Zeng Sheng wanted to scold and scold that he was stuffed with hemp walnuts in his mouth, and let out an unwilling whine. Chao Gai didn't pay attention to this guy anymore, and ordered Zhang San and Li Si to take strict care, so he pulled Ouyang Shoutong and Ma Yuan back to the temporary station. and ordered to arrange a banquet and have a long talk with the two heroes.

The news of the uprooting of Zengtou City spread, and the people rejoiced. This damn domineering foreign market town has finally suffered retribution. The surrounding wealthy families spontaneously united and brought wine and meat to reward the soldiers of the Chao family.

Chao Gai never collects things for nothing, and buys them at the market price. At noon, at least tens of thousands of people gathered, and there was a sea of people.

Under the organization of the village and the wealthy households, the money and grain were distributed according to the household registration and individual registration. Many young and strong laborers volunteered to help. Assist the army in moving grain out of the granary, setting up the wagons and loading them.

Those exquisite furniture were snapped up by the wealthy behind them.

The loot seized in Zengtou City was packed in piles of gold and silver, and antique treasures and other items were loaded into trucks. Those war horses, ploughing oxen and pulling carts, were the first to return. The infantry of the red-faced tiger Yuan Lang rode war horses or acted as charioteers' escorts.

Drive a large number of sheep, and the procession is mighty.

This was followed by a long line of vehicles loaded with food, medicinal herbs and other supplies.

Even if the surrounding people shared and transported more than one million stone of grain, there were still two million stone left, and it was impossible to transport it back to Chaojiazhuang in one trip.

Chao Gai has important things to do, and it is impossible to delay time here. Restaurants in Lingzhou are not considered, and there are dozens of stores located in Wilderness Village. Convoys were organized to transport grain, and they were transported away like ants one after another.

The team from the Lingzhou government came just after noon.

really sent a lot of wine and meat to reward the soldiers of the Chao family. If you don't come, you can't do it, the team that ran to Lingzhou City to inform was led by Han Shizhong himself.

Zengtou City was really destroyed and never existed again!

Cao Xianggong, the prefect of Lingzhou, was a little melancholy, but he thought that he was presiding over the reconciliation, but in the end he still failed to keep Zengtou City, and his face was a little ugly to find Chao Gai and mock: "President Chao is not trustworthy, it is not a gentleman's doing." ”

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I killed someone else's two sons, and the other party will definitely not let it go and will retaliate, so why not eliminate it? Chao Gai didn't care about the other party's attitude, but smiled proudly.

"I Chao Gai only does things with my own heart, and Zeng Tou City is too much, bullying my compatriots. I can't stand it and I'm going to get rid of him, does Cao Xianggong have an opinion? ”

Cao Xianggong only felt that Chao Gai was smiling a little gloomy, and subconsciously shook his head: "Don't dare, this official can't restrain Chief Chao." However, Zengtou City was destroyed, with more than 20,000 dead and wounded, which is very important, and this matter will be reported to the imperial court. ”

"I will too, I hope to tell the truth, but don't reverse black and white!" Chao Gai nodded in agreement, and said with a smile. Inadvertently, he saw that there was something wrong with the eyes of many Lingzhou officials.

It was as if he was watching the people carry money and food away.

How he didn't understand what these people were doing, he wanted to remind but stopped. There are some things that are a waste of words, and it is better to do them to deter.

There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence.

After a few polite words, Cao Zhizhou of Lingzhou led the officials to leave after saying goodbye.

Chao Gai saw this group of corrupt officials leave, so he found the dragon slayer Sun An, talked with him, and gave him the task of leading the way.

By dusk, the number of people was rapidly decreasing.

Shan Shiqi led the men and horses of his headquarters and escorted thousands of cattle and horses to the south. The chauffeur is the people who are willing to follow the people who go south and hitchhike. The other thousands of captives were picked up by Lin Chong's team.

After a day and a night of busyness, Zengtou City was emptied. The next day, Chao Gai sent people to check in various villages to confirm that they were in place.

Su Ding set off as the third wave of escorting grain and grass.

Hu Sanniang, Huazi, and Yelu Tali led the soldiers of the Tiger Girl Battalion to accompany the guards. Chao Gai deliberately coaxed a few women away, because he had something to do.
