Chapter 20: The Demon

The Tiangong Mountain bandits were attacked by the brothers around them, and they were immediately killed and injured, and the team was even more chaotic, they couldn't tell who was the enemy and who was their own.

At this time, Tsing Yi Wei chased after him again, a large number of bandits directly knelt down and surrendered, and a small number of them broke through and rushed back to the cottage, but the number was too small to stop everyone at all, Tsing Yi Wei also rushed into the cottage, and the chickens and dogs jumped up in the cottage.

There are three or four hundred bandits in Tiangong Mountain, but there are thousands of women and children with their families, Tsing Yiwei rushed into the cottage, some ran to the mountain, some resisted, but more surrendered, and when the catcher and the strong class came in, the situation was slowly controlled.

"It's getting dark, I have to spend the night in the mountains"

After most of the people surrendered, Jiang Cheng did not do it again, but commanded the Tsing Yi Weili to clean up the battlefield, and the sky was slowly getting dark.

"Then stay for one night, arrange someone to patrol the night, be careful tonight, run a lot of bandits"

Jiang Wu nodded, they didn't take all the hundreds of people, but they still ran hundreds of people, there were bandits and family members, and they couldn't tell the difference at all.

After it was completely dark, the battlefield was almost cleaned, and more than 100 Tiangong Mountain bandits were killed, and more than 800 people were captured together with their families, but hundreds of people and their families were considered to be anyway, not according to the prisoners, and thirty or forty meat tickets were rescued.

"My lord, the inventory is over, and more than 500 stones of rice grain, more than 23,000 taels of silver, more than 1,000 taels of gold, 70,000 or 80,000 copper coins, and all kinds of valuable ones cannot be calculated."

"Fifty percent of these silver coins were taken out, four transactions were given to the brothers, one percent was given to the brothers of the Yongzhou Hundred Households, and then the rice and grain were handed over to the fishing fast Zhuang class for distribution, and the rest were registered, you were lucky tonight, and the account books were made overnight."

"Yes, my lord"

The man was immediately overjoyed, the Tsing Yi Wei Xiaoqi official only had five taels of silver a month, the wrestlers were divided into three grades, and the lowest wrestlers were only two taels of silver a month, and they couldn't live at all in that kind of place in Yongdu City, and they couldn't support themselves, although they had gray income on weekdays, they were also the least, this time Jiang Wu was extremely generous, and they were naturally extremely happy, doing this one, more than their few months.

"I thought you would object"

After the man left, Jiang Wu said to Jiang Cheng.

"When did I become a pedantic person in the eyes of my eldest brother"

"That's right, it's you who have made my eldest brother more and more incomprehensible recently"

Jiang Wu replied that before the treasure case, he was the most pedantic person, but it was Jiang Cheng, who used their father's name to make money everywhere, and this kind of thing was done too much.

"I'm still the same Jiang Cheng, but I'm the eldest brother, I've changed a lot"

"People will change, okay, let's not talk about this, you have a good rest, you performed very well today, and if you accumulate some merits, you can be promoted to the general flag officer"

Jiang Wu sighed, but quickly adjusted, no longer talked about it, but praised Jiang Cheng, today Jiang Cheng led people to kill, and made a great contribution.

Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, today was also his first time fighting, the first time he killed someone, he didn't feel it at all, could it be that he was born a butcher?

Early the next morning, the people in the cottage began to descend the mountain, and there were carriages carrying goods and materials in the cottage, while the captives were tied with ropes and walked to Yongzhou City under the watchful eye of everyone.

After the people left, the cottage was burned down by a fire, so as not to be entrenched by bandits again, which is the usual method of officers and soldiers to suppress bandits.

There were many women and children in those captives, and there were also many wounded, so the team walked very slowly, but the Tsing Yi guards were extremely rude, and when they saw that they could not walk, they were whipped down.

After walking like this for a day, he walked to Yongzhou City after dark, and after entering the city, Jiang Wu immediately united with Yongzhou Taishou and took down more than a dozen officials in Yongzhou, all of whom were related to the bandits in Tiangong Mountain.

For a while, the Yongzhou City Prison was overcrowded, and it was almost impossible to close it, and Yongzhou City was also in a rumor, for fear that Jiang Wu would continue to expand the matter.

"Lord Taishou, we must prepare the confession evidence as soon as possible in the next few days, and in a few days, we will return to Yongdu, and then we will take away the bandit leader, and the ordinary mountain bandits will stay in Yongzhou to deal with it."

After a day's rest, Jiang Wu asked his chief flag officer and small flag officer to attack everywhere to exterminate other small bandits outside Yongzhou City and continue to expand the results of the battle, while he discussed things with Taishou.

"Jiang Baihu rest assured, the arrest of the officials in the city has begun soon, and the verdict in Yongzhou will come down in the next few days."

Taishou is also extremely polite to Jiang Wu, he has already smelled Jiang Wu's unusual case in Tiangong Mountain, this is the court has paved the way for Jiang Wu, giving him credit for nothing, Taishou will naturally not be embarrassed, but to get along with Jiang Wu well, maybe Jiang Wu will be promoted in a few years.

Jiang Wu nodded, very satisfied with the current state, in the past, he worked in Tsing Yi Wei, there was a lot of involvement, there was always someone to pull you back, and now the top paved the way for him, no one will pull him back anymore, only give him help, this taste is very wonderful.

·······

"My lord, Xiao Mo's team didn't come back"

"Will it be delayed?"

"No, Xiao Mo is going to suppress Diao Min today, it's a very simple task"

"What a case"

"There is a big mountain called Chixia Mountain in the north of Yongzhou City, a radius of several hundred kilometers, the mountain people are fierce, often resist taxes and do not pay, and there are also bandits and people, there will be robbery in the township, Yongzhou is incompetent to catch fast, several years can not be arrested, there are several people have entered the sea to catch documents, this time we clean up the local bandits, Yongzhou is going to take them to the knife, Xiao Mo took three people and ten officials, catch one person quickly, a total of fifteen people into the mountain, make an appointment to come back regardless of whether it is successful or not, the sky will be dark, Xiao Mo has no news"

A Tsing Yi Weili replied that their real order to come to Yongzhou this time was called to eliminate local bandits, not just to attack the Tiangongshan family, so after the fall of Tiangongshan, Jiang Wu did not rush back to Yongdu, but continued to send people to attack everywhere to clear out the rest of the bandits and expand the results of the war.

Bandits are rampant in the Chixia Mountains of Yongzhou, those mountain people are also bandits, and the folk customs are extremely strong, and the officials in Yongzhou have no way to arrest them, so this time they specially begged Tsing Yiwei to take the opportunity to suppress them.

"Go and call Jiang Cheng to order five people, follow me"

After Jiang Wu thought about it, he still had to find it, the person he brought this time was either his henchman or he had the ability, he was going to win over the person who was his confidant, and it was best not to let anyone die.

A quarter of an hour later, more than ten horsemen rushed out of Yongzhou City, in addition to the six Tsing Yi guards, there were also a few who were familiar with the local situation and acted as guides.

"My lord, this is the only way to enter Chixia Mountain"

"This road seems to be built according to the official road, why is it not the official road?"

"My lord, the interior of Chixia Mountain is rugged, and Yongzhou is poor, so I only built a section, and I really don't have the money to repair it."

"Let's go"

Jiang Wu shook his head, if the official road can be cultivated to the interior of Chixia Mountain, those mountain people will be easy to manage, since there is no money, then there is nothing to say.

The official road came to an abrupt end after about three miles into Chixia Mountain, and the rest were small roads, some of which couldn't even see the road clearly.

Occasionally, you could see some buildings in the mountains, and smoke was rising, and it was time for them to make dinner, and it was getting dark.

"How much longer"

"It's almost there, and I'll be in Niushou Village in about five miles."

"Speed up, it's not safe in the mountains at night"

Jiang Wu said that there are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains, and the road is uneven, so it is very dangerous at night.

After another five miles, a small village appeared in front of everyone, with about twenty houses and buildings.

"Something is wrong, big brother, it's too quiet"

"I know, there was not even a dog barking, leaving two people to guard the horses, and the others followed me into the village, did the gong take it?"

"My lord, bring a side"

"Okay, take it"

Jiang Wu nodded, the Divine Gong is a low-level magic weapon given by the Immortal Gate, which has the effect of calming the gods and driving away evil spirits, and is very useful for dealing with low-level demons.

Everyone followed Jiang Wu into Niushou Village, the village was very quiet and weird, there was no person, and there was no movement, not only the dog barked, but even the insects chirped.

"My lord, or let's withdraw first, and come back tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord, let's go first."

Several officials were about to panic, this kind of scene was really scary, and my heart was furious.

"When was the last time you saw the people of Niushou Village?"

"About a month ago, the people of Niushou Village robbed the rest of the mountain people's mountain goods, we caught them quickly, we just arrived at the entrance of the village and they ran up the mountain, they couldn't catch it at all, so they sent a sea fishing document, and then there was no news of Niushou Village, the mountains are self-sufficient, except for buying some salt, they rarely go out of the mountains"

Jiang Cheng was speechless when he heard this, he didn't see anyone a month ago, he didn't know what was going on here, this wasn't a trick.

"My lord, look, our moire knife"

Soon, the strong man found the waist knife of Tsing Yi Wei in Niushou Village, the waist knife of Tsing Yi Wei is a standard type, and there will be a moire pattern on the handle, also known as a moire knife.

"The Gong Strikes"

"Yes, my lord"

A Tsing Yi Wei condensed his internal force and struck the Shocking Gong, which must be struck with internal force in order to play the role of a magic weapon.

"When..."

The sound of gongs exploded in the silent village of Niushou, again and again, and soon, everyone heard a sound in the distance.

"What sound"

"What a big spider."

"It's a demon"

"It's a lot, we're surrounded"

"What should I do?"

"Run"

The sound approached quickly, and they could see what it was, it was spiders, spiders bigger than millstones, the largest one taller than a human.

"This is the demon?"

Jiang Cheng looked at the demon who was taller than a human being, and was dumbfounded for a moment, there are really monsters in this world.
