Thirty percent of the protection fee, if there will not be any bandits on the road, you can indeed reach the destination smoothly, it is really not much.

The caravan will meet a few heroes on the hills along the way, and they all know it, and they all have an agreement to deal with it all the year round: don't go too far, just take your line, otherwise, although the south road is farther, the heroes on the other side will have less money.

Bandits are also competitive.

But now, the deeds of the Luo family rangers to exterminate the bandits have not spread, how can the convoy caravan from Lingyuan County believe that they can go all the way without worry, seeing that the situation is not right, they all chose to retreat to the city.

Pay 30% as soon as you go out, and you will encounter bandits on the road, and this batch of goods will make a fart!

In this way, there is no need for Luo Jiajun to work hard, and it didn't take long for the streets of the city to be tightly blocked by the convoy that had just gone out and returned, and no one wanted to go out now.

All three gates were the same, all blocked.

"Five hundred in total, or are they all cavalry?"

When Ling Yuan Zhixian heard the news, his face turned pale instantly, and he knew that he had caused trouble and provoked a big man.

It would be very scary to be able to bring in 500 infantry, and it must be the commander of the guard of the nearby city government to have the right to mobilize so many soldiers at once. Not to mention those thousands of households, the one or two hundred soldiers are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are all pointing to empty salaries.

What's even more terrifying is that everyone is a cavalry, and they are all one person with two horses, and they have never heard of the treatment and lineup.

Except for the border armies in the northwest and Xinjiang, who can afford to raise cavalry now?

Even if Xiahou Mu, the chief soldier of Guangning, it is very difficult for you to let him pull out the five hundred cavalry that are brushed together, not to mention the high-level treatment of one person and two horses.

"Who, who the hell am I messing with?"

Lingyuan Zhixian had to wonder if the Qingyuan Army had killed down the canal, because only the Qingyuan Kingdom, which controlled the entire grassland, had the strength to do this.

He was so suspicious in the county office, but the Luo Jiajun outside just didn't report the number, didn't say anything, and came to collect protection money.

"Don't give money, go back! Don't think of any caravan except ordinary people!"

Of course, Luo Jiajun will not embarrass the people, anyone who carries a burden, a little donkey, a backpack, or an empty hand, all of them are allowed to go, and they don't want a copper plate.

The people were no longer afraid, but they were happy to discuss and speculate, but those merchants were not happy, and they didn't dare to talk to the theory of being a soldier, so they went to the yamen to find the magistrate and ask the head office.

"What's going on? I paid the money as soon as I got off the boat, why did you still make such a show? What do you mean by this?"

There was a commotion outside the yamen, and of course the magistrate couldn't sit still, so he found the boss of the Red Tiger Gang who controlled the wharf.

"Your people got into a big accident, a few days ago on the docks, do you remember those dozen GIs?"

"Yes. ”

The boss of the Red Tiger Gang nodded gloomily, he knew the news of the cavalry blocking the door outside the city earlier than the county master, and his heart had already hanged.

He was originally a soldier, able to fight and kill, so he returned to the local area to start such a gang, and now he is mixing very well.

So he knew better than anyone what such a lineup of five hundred cavalry meant.

People's goods are still detained, obviously, this matter must be soft, and they must apologize to others, but the problem is that whether it is the county governor or the Red Tiger boss, they dare not go out and take the lead, for fear that they will be cut off by others as soon as they get out of the city gate.

Dare to lead troops to besiege the city, how bold does this be, and dare not kill you?

Under the pressure caused by more and more merchants outside the yamen, the magistrate forced his chief secretary to take two officials, plus accompanied by the deputy leader of the Red Tiger Gang, and several dead ghosts walked out of the west gate tremblingly.

"Go back, I'm not qualified to see my general!"

As soon as he signed up for his identity, he was scolded by an officer.

"Who is he?"

When the officer saw that the deputy leader of the Red Tiger Gang was not dressed in the yamen, he pointed at the horse whip and asked coldly.

"The villain pretended to be a black tiger, the deputy leader of the Red Tiger Gang, he was offended on the dock that day, but he ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard the officer's order: "Arrest it!"

Swish!

Several cavalrymen flew down from their horses, and at the same time drew their swords, and the cold blades encircled the neck of the black tiger.

Mao Heihu is also a martial artist, but where he has the courage to resist, he was obediently tied up by Wuhuada, and he was still smiling bitterly in his heart: Sure enough, it will be like this when he comes out.

Or, the boss Jiang Chihu just refused to come out, and he had long expected that there was no way to reason with these soldiers.

Jiang Chihu's meaning is: send one person, let the military masters dissipate their anger first.

The rules of the gang are like this, the boss is in trouble, the younger brother is guilty, and he swore when he joined the gang, otherwise he would not accept you.

The chief bookkeeper and a few officials returned safely and reported to the magistrate: Look at this meaning, and I also learned that the county lord went out in person before we could negotiate, and we were not qualified at all.

"See, is it really our Jin Dynasty's army?"

Ling Yuanzhi County must confirm this point before he dares to go out.

Jiang Chihu rolled his eyes on the side, and said in his heart: If the Qingyuan Army had already come in, would it still negotiate with you?

In a county, there are only a few dozen ordinary soldiers guarding the city gates, and there are less than 100 people who are quick to arrest the city gates, so how can you resist the regular cavalry? The key is that you don't even have time to close the city gates, and you don't have the advantage of the city walls.

Ling Yuan Zhixian knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only glare at Jiang Chihu hatefully, and said in his heart: It's too indulgent on weekdays, it's not an ordinary smugness, no, something will happen sooner or later......

There was no way, he could only walk out of the yamen tremblingly, accompanied by the chief bookkeeper and the official officer, and after a few words, he temporarily stabilized the protesting caravan, and then walked towards the west gate as if he was going to the execution ground.

On the edge of the wharf, there is a large passenger ship, more than 20 zhang long, which can carry more than 100 passengers, but can only travel on the relatively stable canal.

The surface of this ship is ordinary, but the interior decoration is quite luxurious, and there are more than twenty guards in the bottom cabin who are resting, and more than a dozen people are hiding in various places to guard in rotation.

In the upper luxury cabin, a man in his early thirties, although he is not middle-aged, already has a very strong sense of majesty in his bearing, obviously he has been in the position for a long time, this kind of majesty seems to have been cultivated since childhood, and it is by no means comparable to the so-called official power of ordinary officials.

He was drinking tea and reading a book, quite calm.

Wow Oo......oo

The captain of his guard returned, and after entering the door, he knelt down and saluted, and immediately reported: "Third master, my subordinates have found out that the chaos on the street is due to a cavalry of five hundred people outside the city......"

All the circumstances were explained in detail, and the third master said in a deep voice: "Five hundred cavalry, one man and two horses, it seems that they are all elite soldiers...... When did such a team of people come out of the hinterland of our Jin Dynasty?"

"They didn't play the flag, and they never reported the number. ”

The captain of the guard bowed his head and replied: "The third master forgives the sin, and the subordinates really can't judge." ”

"I don't blame you. ”

The third master smiled and waved his hand: "This kind of siege behavior, in terms of crime, can be big or small, and it must not be blatant." However, they only blocked the city gates, and there were no other atrocities, at most they were leading troops to make trouble. If you can give a reason, how can the imperial court care about punishment now, but to reuse this cavalry with good combat strength. ”

"Third master, I'll guess the origin of this cavalry. ”

In this matter, a young man dressed as a scholar slowly walked in from the hatch on the other side, and he had been standing on the deck just now, and the doors and windows were not closed, but he heard the conversation between the third master and the captain of the guard.

"Oh?"

The third master nodded with a smile: "Mr. Guan, please speak." ”

"A few days ago, the Luo Dong in Guangling Mansion who had a meritorious role in quelling the chaos, do you still have any impression?" Mr. Guan said with a smile.

"Yes!"

The third master immediately realized: "He wants a ranger general with five hundred horses!"

Tilting his head, he said, "But the time is too short, it's impossible, right?"

"It is precisely because it is impossible that this person is very unusual. ”

Mr. Guan said slowly: "When I was in Beijing, I paid attention to the information related to him, Hongyu was still a low-level soldier in the battle, so he killed a fierce general like Duan Gan Mueller, and he didn't take credit, but he didn't say a word, so it's strange that people don't make me curious." ”

"Well, maybe it's him. ”

The third master nodded: "In just half a year, I was promoted to a fourth-grade general, and it is normal to be a little arrogant, I said, ordinary people really don't dare to do this." ”

"Hearing the third master say this, I am even more sure that it must be this person. ”

Mr. Guan laughed and slapped his ass without a trace.

The third master smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Then another question arises, in such a short period of time, and the imperial court has not allocated funds, how can he be able to form a cavalry of this scale." Before, everyone thought that his Ranger General was a young man who was ignorant and just nonsense......"

As a result, these unidentified people began to make various inferences and speculations about 'Luo Dong'......

An hour later, Luo Chong, the ranger general, only brought a dozen guards, and slowly entered the city under the careful escort of Ling Yuanzhixian.

The three gates are temporarily open, and there is no charge for them, and caravans pass normally.

But it's only temporary, whether it will continue to block the door depends on how Ling Yuanzhi County and Lord Chihu behave.

Luo Chong wants to control this county seat, not to kill the county magistrate and the red tiger, if he does this, it is no different from rebellion, it is not a normal development step, of course, it is not advisable.

It is not necessary to replace the current magistrate, because the transfer and replacement of officials takes too long, even if Luo Chong has this patience, it is better to directly conquer this magistrate and the boss of the Red Tiger, after all, they have been operating here for many years, and everything up and down is handy, and then replace the two of them, it will take half a year just to be familiar with the business.

In the process of conquest, the first step is deterrence, and the cavalry blocked the door for this, and there is no need to say any kind of intimidation, they are already trembling with fear.

The second step is communication, that is, coercion and temptation, so Luo Chong entered the city with Zhixian.

Luo Chong asked Lingyuan Zhixian to call the Red Tiger Boss too, find a place to eat and drink, sit down, and we can talk slowly.

Shunfeng Building, the most upscale restaurant in Lingyun County, is actually the property of the Red Tiger Gang, not only the Red Tiger Boss himself came, but also brought another deputy gang leader.

Xia Baihu, a woman, did not wear a skirt, but a light white quite fitting warrior suit.

"White Tiger?"

Luo Chong subconsciously glanced at the two plump and slender thighs of other people, but in this world, the white tiger is just a white tiger, and there is no myth of the four-elephant divine beast, and it has nothing to do with whether a woman grows hair or not.
