Chapter 22: The Fugitive
"Little thief, this girl is not powerful. Li Yishan proudly showed off her might to Du Wenxing.
Seeing Du Wenxing, who started running again, he was waving desperately to himself, and he also smiled and waved his hand.
"Is this woman stupid?"
"Stupid, hide, someone is coming at you again. He shouted hurriedly.
He didn't realize that before he knew it, Li Yishan had occupied an important position in his heart.
"Hee-hee, this girl is not afraid!"
Li Yishan, who turned around, smiled and looked at the four black-clothed bandits who pounced out again, but her face was inexplicably happy, does this little thief still care about me?
"Look at the fight!"
Facing the man in black, Li Yishan waved her hands at the same time, and two "black rains" shot out, covering an area wider than just now.
The black-clothed bandits, who were prepared, dodged and blocked with their swords.
Ding Ding!
Black needles rained down.
Before the four black-clothed bandits could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard two bangs, and two more black rains were coming.
"What, with a burst of hair?!"
The black-clothed bandit and Du Wenxing had the same idea strangely, but the mood was completely different.
The four black-clothed bandits were desperate in their hearts, because they couldn't hide, but Du Wenxing relaxed and said in his heart: No wonder those people in the Li family are not in a hurry at all.
At this moment, a messy footstep accompanied by shouting and shouting came, and it was the soldiers and the catchers who were about to arrive.
At this time, the Li family's spirits were greatly lifted, but the black-clothed bandits began to panic.
Under the suppression of the cloaked man and the black-faced man, Hong Taishan struggled to support, but his set of Five Tiger Broken Door Sword Technique had been cultivated perfectly, although he was at a disadvantage, but the defense was not leaky, and the two of them could not take it down for a while.
At this moment, seeing that the other party's reinforcements had arrived, the cloaked man snorted coldly, "Don't fall in love with war, let's go." ”
After speaking, Huhu grabbed two claws and attacked Hong Taishan's head and heart, while the black-faced man took the opportunity to get out and began to relieve the other black-clothed bandits.
The Li family was already on the weak side, and the bandits had the help of the black-faced man, a powerful helping hand, and soon the black-clothed bandits broke away and ran wildly in the direction of the canal.
"Poor don't chase. ”
Hong Taishan stopped the family who was about to pursue, and he was a little hesitant and a little dignified in his heart.
After these black-clothed bandits got out one by one, the cloaked man himself also attacked two moves and flew away, this person's body method was too fast, Hong Taishan couldn't catch up, and he didn't dare to chase it.
The strength of this gang of bandits was unexpectedly strong.
The Li family's family did not chase them, but the later soldiers and the arresters had to chase them, and it was their duty to arrest the bandits.
"Uncle Hong, do you want to watch these guys escape?" Li Yishan said unhappily.
"Naturally not, don't worry, Miss, these bandits can't escape. Hong Taishan looked at Li Yishan with a smile, in the fight just now, he put soul chasing incense on the black-faced man, and he couldn't escape the smell of his little pet within ten miles.
As for what that little pet is?
Listening to Hong Taishan's whistle, a small head suddenly appeared in a cloth bag hanging on his horse, furry, some like a mouse, but larger, the mouth was not so pointed, and the eyes were round and very clever.
Du Wenxing, who walked towards Li Yishan, was stunned, what kind of thing is this?
Lying on the horse just now, his head seemed to be leaning against this cloth bag, but he didn't realize that there was a living thing hidden inside.
"Oh, Uncle Hong, you brought out the mink too, hehe, Xiaobai, come here. Li Yishan beckoned to the little head.
A snow-white mink got out of the cloth bag, ignored Li Yishan's greeting, and slipped into Hong Taishan's arms.
"Hmph, stinky mink. Li Yishan pursed her mouth.
Seeing this, Hong Taishan patted the ferret that climbed onto his shoulder and made a few gestures.
The ferret jumped down from his shoulder, jumped on Li Yishan's body in three times and two times, arched his head, and found a comfortable and soft place to lie down.
"Miss, you play with the mink, I'll call someone. ”
Hong Taishan felt that it was impossible to take down these bandits, especially the cloaked man, by relying on the Li family's family and these crooked melons and cracked dates.
This man's light skills are too good, if he wants to escape, there is no one here to stop him.
Taizhou is a big city in the south of the Yangtze River, which has been peaceful for a long time, and the army has neglected training and has extremely poor combat effectiveness.
There are also these fast catches, it's okay to catch small thieves, and to deal with these Jiangyang thieves, there is only the share of food delivery!
Therefore, if you want to catch these bandits, you still have to rely on the Li family themselves.
said that he was going to call someone, but Hong Taishan did not really run back to Li's house, but took out a metal cylinder with a diameter of one inch and a length of half a foot from his arms.
With a slight twist of his hands, a black smoke rose into the sky and flew up more than ten meters into the air.
Taizhou City, the Li family's mansion, in a small building.
This small building is very simple, and it is said to be a small building, but it is actually more like a bunker.
There are people inside who observe the movement around them for twelve hours a day.
These observers are deliberately selected for their excellent eyesight and observational abilities.
Black smoke rose into the sky and was immediately seen.
After a while, another team of twenty horses galloped out of the mansion and rushed out of the city.
On the city wall, a pair of eyes watched the movements of the Li family.
"My lord, these members of the Li family are very strong, it seems that the lower officials should have been trained by the methods of the army, will there be any problems?"
The person who spoke was Wei Yiqing, and a man about fifty years old standing beside him, with a round face and a slightly chubby face, looked kind, it was Wu Yuan, the prefect of Taizhou.
Wu Yuan nodded when he heard this, but sighed again, and said: "This official also knows that this Li family is powerful, and it is beyond the scope of ordinary families, but in this Taizhou City...... Alas!"
Wei Yiqing understood Wu Yuan's distress, although he had not been in Taizhou City for a long time, he also deeply felt the power of the Li family, as well as the strong network of relationships entangled in this Taizhou City.
Wei Yiqing's promotion to the governor of Taizhou was with a mission, to clean up the salt administration, and the Li family is the largest salt dealer in Taizhou.
The eight major salt merchants in Taizhou, headed by the Li family.
To say that the system of salt administration in Taizhou Mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also different from other places, the salt administration has issued a total of 309,809 salt citations, but these salt quotations are not eternal.
These more than 300,000 salt quotations have a ten-year term, and they must be re-sold every ten years.
Of course, because the release time of each of these salt quotations is different, the date of the deadline is also different.
It is roughly divided into three batches, each with a quantity of about 100,000.
Don't underestimate these salt citations, each of them represents the silver of the white flowers.
With it, an ordinary family can become a generation of wealthy families, and if it is lost, it is also likely that a generation of wealthy families will become ordinary wealthy businessmen.
