The innate master jumped back vigorously to avoid Ye Tianlong's attack, and shouted to several other guards beside him: "This guy's cultivation is much higher than mine, you are not an opponent, immediately retreat, go and call the master!" ”

Hearing this, those guards showed light skills one after another, and ran in the direction of the inner courtyard, judging from their speed, these people's cultivation actually has at least a dark energy level, if it is to deal with ordinary small thieves, it is indeed enough, but this time they just encountered Ye Tianlong, an innate master, then they are indeed not qualified to join the battlefield.

And the captain of the guard who stayed behind was just entering the innate realm, only the innate cultivation, in the face of Ye Tianlong's attack, he didn't dare to take it hard at all, and he could only rely on his fairly good light skills to keep fighting with Ye Tianlong to delay time.

Ye Tianlong was impatient with this guy, and slapped out with a palm, and the palm shadow in the sky almost blocked all the dodging directions of the guard captain, forcing him to take Ye Tianlong's palm.

And even if the power of Ye Tianlong's palm has been dispersed, it is not something that this guard captain can bear, after his palms met Ye Tianlong's palm shadow, he was immediately shocked by the powerful internal force contained in it, and his body flew upside down.

However, just as its upside-down body was about to crash into a rockery in the garden, a middle-aged man in a cyan robe jumped out and grabbed its retreating body before it hit the rockery.

"Senior Brother Zhang, are you alright?" The middle-aged man who had just arrived asked him with a worried face after picking up the captain of the guard who was injured by Ye Tianlong.

The captain of the guard endured the severe pain coming from all over his body, and replied to him with a strong fighting spirit: "Senior brother in charge, be careful! This guy's cultivation is definitely above the innate triple level, I'm afraid only the rotating sword formation can restrain him! ”

Listening to his junior brother's words, the head was also very surprised, but he knew that his junior brother never said big things, so he didn't talk any more nonsense at the moment, and after letting the two disciples come forward to help him down to heal his injuries, he himself took twelve disciples forward and swung his sword at Ye Tianlong.

Ye Tianlong sensed the strength of these disciples' qi and blood a little, and found that they were all just after transforming their strength into cultivation, and they didn't take it too seriously, after all, there was a big realm between their transformation cultivation and innate martial artists! As for the head of the gang who didn't know which gang, he only had an innate cultivation, and he was also not taken into account by Ye Tianlong.

So Ye Tianlong was ready to simply send away this group of guards, and then directly forced his way into the mansion to search for the ledger. After all, Bai Mulin is not a fool, after learning that someone has infiltrated his mansion, he will definitely be alert, and maybe he will soon destroy all kinds of incriminating evidence.

So instead of retreating and coming back, it is better to directly break in today to find evidence of the other party's corruption.

Thinking so in his heart, Ye Tianlong no longer kept his hand, and slammed his fist into the head of the innate realm headed by him.

When the other party saw Ye Tianlong's serious expression, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately let the twelve disciples behind him set up a formation, and then with him as the leader, he stabbed towards Ye Tianlong with a sword.

With the movement of the master, the twelve disciples also swung their swords in unison, and then the strength of the twelve people's swords seemed to have been hit by the head of the sect, causing his sword to stab out, and it actually bloomed a huge cyan sword light dozens of meters long and shot towards Ye Tianlong.

After the sword mang and Ye Tianlong's fist collided together, they immediately exploded violently, and then Ye Tianlong was actually shocked by the shock wave of the explosion and flew more than ten meters away.

And the internal forces of the head and the twelve disciples under his command seemed to be connected, forming a huge translucent light shield, blocking all the shockwaves of the explosion.

Then, without waiting for Ye Tianlong to breathe a sigh of relief, these thirteen people flew forward again, surrounded Ye Tianlong in the middle, and attacked Ye Tianlong with swords from all directions at the same time.

Although this time it was not as exaggerated as the sword rays that shot out tens of meters, but they also had extremely condensed small sword qi that constantly hit Ye Tianlong's body, Ye Tianlong found that it consumed too much internal force after propping up the Gang Qi shield, and finally had to take the initiative to remove the Gang Qi shield, and instead changed the internal force attribute in the body, the skin on his body suddenly became extremely hard, reflecting a silver-white metallic luster, and those sword qi hit it, which could only provoke a little spark, and it was impossible to break the defense at all.

"I didn't expect that this thief not only has incomparably strong internal strength, but also has an extremely clever horizontal practice method, it seems that he must use the Qinggang Sword of his own sect to be able to kill him!" Thinking so in his heart, the master suddenly pulled out a long sword from his back that had been wrapped in cloth until now.

As soon as this long sword came out of its sheath, it let out a long sword roar like a dragon's groan, which made Ye Tianlong also feel a trace of threat. So he immediately raised his hand and snatched a long sword from the hand of a disciple, and then performed swordsmanship, and the head of the sword attack quickly passed several moves with swordsmanship, under the blessing of his powerful innate true qi, the ordinary long sword also became extremely hard, Ye Tianlong also mainly used light and agile swordsmanship, not to fight hard, but even so, just a few moves with this master, this long sword was cut off by the sword in the other party's hand, Ye Tianlong was surprised After a light sigh, With his hand, he struck the severed half-cut sword with a forceful blow, causing it to shoot towards the head of the sword like a crossbow shot from a powerful crossbow, forcing him to dodge.

And he himself took advantage of the other party's dodging, quickly retreated, and then turned around and slapped out with a palm, slapping several onlookers to death at once, and then scooped up a thick-backed steel knife dropped by those guards from the ground, and used his knife technique to fight fiercely again with the head who was chasing after him.

Because of the heavy blade of this steel knife, it was indeed a few more moves than the long sword, but the twelve disciples behind the head of the sect quickly arrived, and then the thirteen people used their sword moves again, which made the master's skill rise greatly, and a sword battle came out, not only smashing the steel knife in Ye Tianlong's hand into pieces of scrap iron, but the sword then swept over a rockery behind Ye Tianlong, and smashed it into slag.

After Ye Tianlong abandoned the sword to avoid this blow, he had already initially seen the shortcomings of this sword array, that is, it was not flexible enough, and the lack of flexibility here was not only that all the people needed to be in place when it was deployed, but it was not possible to use it without one person, and it was not flexible enough, but it also meant that although the combat power of this sword array was greatly strengthened by the master, but the other party was not able to control this skyrocketing skill freely due to insufficient cultivation, and the attacks were straightforward, Ye Tianlong only needed to judge the direction of his attack in advance, It's still easy to dodge.

However, just when Ye Tianlong had already roughly figured out a way to crack this sword formation, suddenly the gate of the White Mansion was slammed open, and then a large group of soldiers armed with flintlock rifles swarmed in.

At the door, you can also see that several small-caliber guns have been set up, and the muzzles of the black holes are pointed at this mansion.

Faced with this scene, everyone in the field who was still fighting stopped in surprise, lest these soldiers beckon their guns at them.

As a large number of soldiers poured into the courtyard, Xiahou Cheng quickly came out of the crowd of soldiers in full armor, strode in front of Ye Tianlong, and said after half-kneeling: "The last general is too late to save the car, please forgive your majesty!" ”

Liu Shiyu was also carrying a set of dragon robes prepared in advance at this time and draped them on Ye Tianlong's body.

Speaking of which, the original coarse cloth clothes on Ye Tianlong's body were already full of holes in the battle just now, and he just needed a new piece of clothing to change it, but why is this a dragon robe? Ye Tianlong looked at Liu Shiyu, and there was doubt in his eyes.

And Liu Shiyu glanced at Ye Tianlong, and the meaning in his eyes was also obvious, that is, 'Isn't it normal to bring a dragon robe or something for this micro-service private visit?' Otherwise, how can you prove your identity when the time comes! ’

Speaking of which, Ye Tianlong is also a light enemy, if there is no Xiahou Cheng to come to the rescue, it is estimated that if you want to deal with these guards, you will have to fight with these guys here for a long time! Now that Xiahou Cheng has brought his troops over, he has directly controlled the situation, and he can be regarded as making up for it.

Xiahou Cheng looked at His Majesty the Emperor looking at his appreciative eyes, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his little life was at least saved.

After Ye Tianlong left, Xiahou Cheng felt that it was too dangerous for Ye Tianlong, the emperor, to go out alone to collect evidence of the prefect's crimes, so he gritted his teeth and directly led hundreds of his cronies and soldiers to quickly attack and kill several of the prefect's cronies, and then collected the soldiers under those guys, gathered a force of more than 2,000 people, and rushed here in time to King Qin's rescue.

And Bai Mulin, who had been hiding in the dark to observe the situation before, saw that the thief who broke into his house was actually Ye Tianlong, Xiahou Cheng also rebelled, and came to the rescue with soldiers, which made him feel bad, and immediately prepared to escape.

It's a pity that as soon as he opened the back door of his mansion, he saw several black holes with the muzzles of guns on his head, obviously Xiahou Cheng would not give him this chance to escape at all, and he had already surrounded the front and back of this mansion.

At this time, Bai Mulin couldn't help but secretly hate that he didn't practice hard enough, so now he only had secret cultivation, and in the face of those soldiers who were armed with flintlock rifles, he had no power to resist at all.

After seeing Bai Mulin being escorted over by a pair of soldiers, Ye Tianlong stared at this guy with dead eyes, and asked in his mouth, "I ask myself if I treat you well!" But why would you do that? Is this little money so important to you? ”

Facing Ye Tianlong's question, Bai Mulin replied with a wry smile: "Hehe! Haven't you heard the old saying, "Man dies for money, and birds die for food!" I'm such a mortal who can't resist temptation! I also knew that all this could not be hidden forever, so I just wanted to enjoy the glory and wealth before this, but unfortunately I didn't expect that it was only a year... Ha ha! It's only been one year! ”

After laughing, Bai Mulin took the initiative to explain the location where he stored the ledger and all the stolen money, in his words, that is, there are many people here who are the culprits who dragged him into the water in the first place, he has made a lot of money by himself over the years, and those people are also full of fat with their brains with him, and now that he is down, he doesn't want those big rats to continue to get away with it, but wants these guys to pay him together.

Ye Tianlong naturally did as he wished, and asked people to get the account book that day, and then asked Xiahou Cheng to start arresting people according to the list above.

After browsing the account book a little, Ye Tianlong found that these guys were indeed greedy enough, and the various funds allocated from it were deducted layer by layer, and ninety percent of them finally went into the pockets of Bai Mulin and these guys.

As for Xiahou Cheng's name, it is naturally in this account book, but it is the last batch, and the total amount of money he got is only a few thousand silver dollars, no wonder Xiahou Cheng did not hesitate at all when he betrayed the other party, and he still received too few benefits! However, this is also normal, in any force, it is very difficult to achieve an absolutely fair distribution of interests, and the Green Dragon Empire is no exception, Ye Tianlong is now working hard to improve this situation, as long as he can get rid of a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials during this inspection, at least he can let the people of the Green Dragon Empire live in peace for a year or two.

In addition to Ye Tianlong, in fact, in the Qinglong Empire, there are also many officials who have not lost their hearts at this time, and they are trying to fight those corrupt officials with Ye Tianlong, the emperor.

In Shuzhong, in a remote mountain village, a catcher was leading more than a dozen catchers at this time, forcibly broke through the barriers of several strong men at the entrance of the village, and forcibly rushed into the village.

Just yesterday, Zhu Ming, the head catcher, received a report from his own informant that in this mountain forest, someone had recently established a village here to use it as a stronghold for stealing iron ore and smuggling iron money.

This iron money is also another new trick made by those faint monarchs and traitors in the pre-Song Dynasty in addition to the paper money of Jiaozi. In order to better squeeze the financial resources of the people.

And Ye Tianlong naturally wouldn't do this, so he had already ordered that iron coins should no longer be minted, let alone privately minted all kinds of coins.

However, these iron coins that are already in private circulation can continue to be used for another half a year, and whoever takes the iron money after half a year will not accept it. This is done to avoid making those people lose too much, after all, this iron money has been circulating for many years, and the people have a lot of iron money in their hands, if the circulation is completely banned at once, these iron coins will suddenly become real scrap copper and rotten iron, and the people will lose a lot, so Ye Tianlong will give this buffer period, during which the iron money received by the official will not be allowed to circulate to the market, but will all be melted down into weapons and armor.
