Chapter 40: The Blood Feast
Early the next morning, Li Yun went to the county government and asked to see the county.
"County honor, the law and order in the city has been getting worse recently, and there have been many robberies and fatalities."
"In the past, it was just that, and the villain didn't dare to spoil the interest of the county with these trivial things, but now there are many gentry in the city, and I am afraid that someone will take risks and harm the lives of the gentry, so it will be bad."
Li Yun came prepared and brought a lot of real case files, but this kind of thing was suppressed by him before, and Ding Zhixian only pretended not to know.
Now that he has a clear purpose, he put these in front of Ding Zhixian, and he is immediately very convincing.
Ding Zhixian didn't like to hear bad news the most, and his brows suddenly twisted into a ball when he heard this, "Then strengthen patrols, and then let the neighbors protect each other, and drive those beggars out of the city." ”
Li Yun smiled bitterly:
"What does the city wall of our county look like, don't you know the county lord?"
"It's to drive out all the beggars, and in a few days they will fill the county again."
"As for strengthening patrols, the county is respected, and the officials of all classes in the county are busy raising good grass and equipment for the army, and they are really short of manpower."
Ding Zhixian suddenly became agitated, and shouted angrily:
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you want?"
"Go find a way to solve it, don't come here to make noise!"
Li Yuncheng was terrified, hurriedly bowed his head, covered the expression on his face, and replied:
"The villain does have an idea, and I ask the county to support it."
"Now that the situation is special, why don't the county leaders order the village Baozheng to lead Baoding to the county seat to assist."
"The autumn harvest has passed, and Baoding is already idle, even if he comes to the county to help, it will not affect the farm work."
"Bao Ding only assists in patrol chores, and he doesn't need to fight thieves, so there is no danger."
"When the reinforcements in Texas arrive, the Yushan thieves will be cleared, and the gentry will be able to leave the city and return home, and Baoding will be released back at that time."
After listening to Li Yun's words, Ding Zhixian suddenly turned his anger into joy and praised:
"It's rare that you have such a clever plan, if you are a capable person, this county really didn't misunderstand you."
"If there is a similar magic method in the future, you might as well say it, as long as it is useful, the county should reuse it."
Ding Zhixian agreed to Li Yun's suggestion, and immediately issued a notice to the Baozheng of each village and town, ordering the officials to go to the notice.
Of course, Li Qing also received it, although he was quite reluctant in his heart, but this kind of order was justified, and he really couldn't resist, so he had to gather his guards, pick some old and weak people to take with him, and go to the county seat.
As for those elite soldiers, they all stayed in the manor to guard against the attack of the Yushan bandits.
The other landlord snakes also thought about the same thing, and brought more than 100 cannon fodder to deal with the matter.
A group of people gathered in the county, first went to the yamen of the county to order the mao, completed all the formalities, assigned tasks, and were responsible for defense-related matters in the city.
These Baozheng are all local heroes, even stronger than these gentry hiding in the county, Ding Zhixian of course did not dare to slack off, after the work was done, he took the initiative to set up a banquet in Yipinxuan, for everyone to Baozheng to wash the dust.
It was nearly evening, and before it was dark, the long street where Yipinxuan was located was already noisy, and there were gentry who came to the banquet everywhere.
They are all well-known figures in the county, most of them are familiar with each other, and they have to be polite when they meet, and then they can go upstairs.
As soon as there are many people, it is inevitable that there will be a crowd in front of the building.
For the sake of convenience, each family left their servants downstairs and opened a few tables to settle them, and the upper floor was where the gentry gathered.
When the hour was almost up, Ding Zhixian got off the bus in front of the building on time and walked into the lobby under the greeting of everyone.
When Ding Zhixian went upstairs, all the gentry also got up and saluted, everyone was polite again, the process was over, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Ding Zhixian took the lead in getting up and toasting.
As soon as he stood up, before he could say a toast, he heard a commotion from downstairs, but he couldn't hear what he was shouting through the box.
Everyone frowned in unison, which was rude.
Ding Zhixian glanced at Master Song, Master Song understood, got up and was about to go downstairs, when he heard the sound of footsteps, and then the door of the box was knocked open with a "bang", and a person covered in blood stumbled in, shouting:
"Woe to you!"
"Elm Mountain Thief...... Kill is coming! ”
Before the words fell, a big black man followed closely, and with an axe in his hand, he stopped the man and cut off his waist, and the blood was like a waterfall, and within five steps, everyone was naked.
"Ahh......h
Ghost Li swept his eyes and saw the few people sitting on the top, although he didn't know which one was Li Qing, but it was definitely right to kill them all.
"Harm the people and thieves, and eat a certain axe!"
Ghost Li burst into a shout, went up, and aimed at the person closest to the waste wearing an official robe in the middle, and faced with an axe.
It's also a coincidence, this person is Li Qing.
This Li Daguan is also from a Lian family, and he doesn't know how much stronger than other gentry who messed up, and when he saw Li Ghost coming forward to chop, he was not in a hurry, he pressed the table with both hands, and lifted his arms upwards with both arms, and covered this table of banquet head-on to Li Ghost.
He didn't panic at this time, because he knew very well that although the bodyguards brought by the guards on this trip were all old and weak, the bodyguards he carried with him were not weak.
Take him as an example, several heroes in the Zhuangzi are eating and drinking downstairs, including the head of the sect, Wu Cheng, who can kill and save people in just a moment.
To put it bluntly, most of the hard stubble among the heroes in the entire Yishui County are now in this restaurant.
No matter how powerful the Yushan thieves are, they can't withstand the beating of so many heroes.
Sure enough, when Ghost Li split the table with an axe and faced Li Qing again, the stairs behind him rang continuously, and several people rushed up, the first one held a six-edged steel gun in his hand, and he shot at Ghost Li's heart, but it was Wu Cheng.
Li Qing was overjoyed, let out a clear roar, held a round stool in each hand, and smashed it at Ghost Li at the same time.
Li Ghost laughed, picked up the big axe, and with a whirlwind, the two of them only felt a sharp pain coming from the tiger's mouth, and they couldn't grasp it, and the blade was sent flying out when it landed.
The two round stools shattered into pieces in mid-air and smashed like hail on the gentry next to them, only to make everyone scream and roll on the ground.
As for the spear, the pole had broken from it, like two javelins, piercing straight into the chests of the two unfortunate bastards.
Ghost Li's backhand was an axe, which slashed into Wu Cheng's forehead and split his body in half, causing blood and internal organs to flow all over the ground.
Li Ghost laughed, and hurriedly picked up the half of the corpse with an axe, and threw it at the guests.
Although this box is not small, there are too many gentry, and there are tables, chairs and benches, and they can't hide if they want to, and suddenly all the gentry were either smashed by the corpse, or they were sprayed with dirty blood all over their faces, and they were so frightened that they peed their pants.
The situation in the box, no one below knew about it, and there were still a large number of people rushing up the stairs, launching a desperate attack towards Ghost Li.
Li Ghost stood firm with a stake, and the big axe swung like a log, and he didn't pay attention to any martial arts moves, just hugging his head and cutting it down, it was fast and heavy, and it was difficult to dodge.
Those bodyguards who rushed up to protect the courtyard are all good players in the county, and they also have a well-known name on the rivers and lakes, but in the face of Li Gui's persecution, it is useless at all, one axe, even people with blades, all of them are broken by one axe, and they die on the spot.
In Ghost Li's eyes, he only saw a stream of white or dark gray luck floating up from the corpses of these gentry and heroes, submerging into his own body, pushing his physical fitness towards a certain exaggerated intensity, and he couldn't help laughing and killing even harder.
