"The whole battalion lined up and selected the battle team", and after receiving the order, everyone immediately went out and gathered separately. Wu Xiao sat for a moment, got up and went out to the school grounds. At this time, a group of people gathered on the school field, and all the personnel of the four battalions arrived and lined up in camps.

Wu Xiao didn't say much and began to choose candidates for the expedition, an hour later, fifty people had been selected, Wu Xiao was about to speak, only to see a person walk out of the queue and say loudly: "Why don't you choose me." Wu Xiao looked at him, only to see that he was a burly and tall man, with broad shoulders and a round waist, thick hands and feet, thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking like a simple young man, he was two heads taller than others, standing in front of people like an iron tower.

"Who is he?" Wu Xiao asked Old Man Lin Xiong

"His name is Zhao Hu, and he is Zhao Guanfei's son," Lin Xiong whispered

Wu Xiao walked over, Zhaohu was two heads taller than him, and a whole circle older than him, like a child standing in front of an adult. "You are Zhao Guanfei's son, and you want to avenge your father?" Wu Xiao asked

"Yes, I want to avenge my father," Zhaohu said in a loud voice

"Look, what's the difference between you and the people I've picked out?"

"They're all small," Zhao Fei said, looking at it

"They are all small, strong in martial arts, strong and shrewd people, why don't you choose you?"

"How do I know, I only know that I can beat ten of them alone" Zhao Hu was unconvinced

"Do you think you can beat me?" Wu Xiao looked at him

Zhaohu looked down at Wu Xiao and said, "You should have no problem beating you."

"Okay, you're going to hit me," Wu Xiao said

Zhaohu looked at the other brothers around him, some were pulling him, some were winking at him, but he didn't understand what was going on, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "You can be careful", after speaking, he took ten steps back, and then raised his breath and rushed towards Wu Xiao, which tower-like body ran like a giant elephant, his feet vibrated slightly on the ground, and the muscles/roots on his shoulders burst out, which was daunting.

Several hall masters were about to go and pull him forward, but Lin Xiong raised his hand to stop him, and thousands of people on the school field were watching from the cracks in the people. Wu Xiao's body sank, lifting his breath and strength, and when Zhaohu rushed forward, he kicked out in the face, without a shadow and shapeless, right in the abdomen of Zhaohu, which Zhaohu immediately flew backwards and flew out, as if a running colossus hit a mountain, was kicked five steps away, and fell to the ground, but Wu Xiao did not move.

There was silence on the school ground, and after a while, everyone shouted that the hall master was mighty, and the sound was not stopped, and after this, Wu Xiao was considered to have established a foothold in the Dragon and Tiger Hall. A few people went over to help Zhaohu up, and Wu Xiao walked over and asked, "Who killed your father?"

Zhao Hu said in a trance: "Wang Ping, the general of the Yangzhou forward battalion"

"I'll bring Wang Ping's head back to you, you can stay in the main hall."

Three days later, Wu Xiao left the main hall with fifty men and a hundred horses, and before leaving, Hongyu sent a wooden mask and told Wu Xiao to wear it, and at the same time, the salt gang's counterattack began.

On the official road from Yangzhou to Gusu, a team of 100 people is marching, Yangzhou Fubu military camp is ordered to take a hundred people to exterminate a salt warehouse in Gusu, they set off in the morning, it is now noon, has been marching for a morning, today the sun is particularly poisonous, Du Tong is complaining in his heart about how to spread such a bad errand, I saw a few big trees in front, the cool breeze under the shade of the trees is really a good place, but it is a pity that the peak is urgent, he is limited to two days to arrive, he is preparing to continue the march, the deputy capital of the commander immediately stepped forward and said:" My lord, you see that the brothers have been running all morning, and there are a few shades in front of you, why don't you let the brothers rest before leaving" They all looked back, and saw that most of the soldiers were crooked, and the weapons were uneven, he shook his head and said: "Okay, look at you bears one by one, go to the front and rest for a while", as soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers all ran to the tree and fell down, lying down. After a pillar of incense, all of them faintly heard the sound, slowly opened the sky and saw the Gusu direction of the team of people and horses rushing towards him, dusty, menacing, he was still thinking, whose people and horses are this, what are you doing so fast, which team of people has arrived, the person who rushed to the front wore a wooden mask, held a black iron spear, and directly stabbed him in the chest, he didn't even say a word "ready to fight" and fell to the ground, and the people who rushed over one after another held a chop/ The saber greeted the people on the ground fiercely, and after the two charges, they were basically slaughtered, only a few people fled to the woods, and the team did not chase after them, and went straight after the killing.

On the shore of a hidden lake in Wuxi, a few salt porters were transporting a cart of salt bags out of the warehouse, and suddenly rushed out more than 50 officers and soldiers from behind the mountain, killing people when they saw them, the porters hurriedly jumped into the lake and swam away, the officers and soldiers captured a few people, seized a lot of materials, the leader was very happy in his heart, this is not a big achievement, just when the officers and soldiers loaded the car and set off, I saw a team of cavalry on the other side of the lake, rushing to this side, it didn't look like an officer and army, the officer was alert, but before he was equipped, this group of people had already killed, three times five divided by two and killed a piece, killing only a few people, fortunately the officer saw the opportunity quickly, hiding in the lake grass was not foundWhen the gang was gone, he fled for his life the way he came.

For more than ten days in a row, Yangzhou, Gusu, Hangzhou, Wuxi, there was a strange group of people and horses, they came and went like the wind and electricity, no one knew where they would come from, and no one knew where he was going.

There are also many officials in the city whose homes are haunted, scaring the lady and the lady stupidly, and there are idlers making trouble in front of the yamen from time to time on the streets, bazaars, docks, and yamen, making chickens and dogs jump at peace, and there are many people who catch fast, and the officials are killed and injured, and rumors among the common people are spread all over the sky, which official hides his little wife, which official receives a bribe of how many silver taels, which official goes to which kiln, and which official carelessly kills people in vain.

In the back hall of the Yamen of Jiangnan Daotai, Hangzhou, Feng Jingxian sat on a chair with his eyes closed, his hand on the table and holding the teacup.

"Lord Feng, the Fudao Soldiers and Horses Division has lost more than 900 people in more than ten days, and this pension alone will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, what should you do? ”

"Come on, Lord Feng, the house has been restless for more than ten days, this day is not comfortable, don't you give me an idea?"

"Every day, several people come to the yamen to make trouble, shout grievances, and resolve disputes, which is unbearable, do you know who instigated it?"

"yes, yes, this is not the end of the game after all, we have to find a way to solve it"

Feng Jingxian opened his eyes and said sharply: "There is a way, go and flatten the salt gang, which of you dares to go!"

The officials were silent

"Aren't you all quite confident when you take other people's money, why do you come to me to complain at this time, you are usually told to restrain yourself, who of you listened, now you know that the money is not easy to take, what is the use of coming to me" Feng Jing scolded first

"My lord, I think this matter, I still have to talk to the little prince, the salt gang should be cared for and not suppressed," the prefect of Hangzhou whispered

"You didn't say that when you first started the crackdown, you said that a gang of bandits should be punished severely, and now you tell me that it is not appropriate to be punished, why don't you go and tell the little prince to go?"

All the officials were speechless, only a voice of lamentation remained.

After a period of silence, Feng Jingxian said: "You go and prepare some fresh dramas, find some treasures and antiques, and invite the little prince to enjoy the fun tomorrow, and when he is happy, I will speak from the side to see if it works, you can pay for this money yourself."

As if they had been pardoned, the officials thanked them and went out.

On the evening of the next day, Hangzhou Mingyuan, everywhere is brightly lit, the lanterns are colorful, before the high stage is singing a song of Yue Opera "Spring Flowers", in the middle of the stage, a young man wearing brocade clothes, accompanied by Feng Jingxian and others, is watching the play.

"Little Prince, recently Xiaguan has found a few beauties from the Western Regions, they sing and dance, which small waist is twisted to make people's hearts move, do you want to appreciate it?"

"Why don't you come up quickly, just talk here" The young man ate the fruit sent by the female concubine, Feng Jing clapped his hands first, and everyone on the stage went down, and several beauties from the Western Regions walked up to the stage with a few inches. Their appearance is indeed very different from that of the Central Plains, and they are well-trained courtesans, which have a unique style, and the attention of the young prince was suddenly attracted to the past.

"If the little prince has the decency, he can let them sleep at night"

"Good, good, this wonderful"

"Little Wangye, about the matter of strictly suppressing the Salt Gang, the recent progress has been rapid, the Salt Gang has been seriously injured, and the lessons they have learned are enough, and then continue to go deep into the encirclement and suppression, I am afraid that they will jump off the wall in a hurry, and the emperor is coming soon, if you let these dogs make trouble in the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that the lower officials will not be good for the little prince."

"Well, what you said also has some truth," the little prince thought for a while and continued: "What should you think of it?"

"Xia Guan thinks, let them offer some treasures to cultivate their sins, and then teach them a lesson, let them know that the court and the little prince are your majesty, this time the little prince can also get some uncommon things, second, the little prince is also famous in Jiangnan, and third, the little prince can also win a good reputation of loving the people like a son and sympathizing with the people, it is really killing three birds with one stone."

"Haha, haha, it's a good thing to kill three birds with one stone, I'll leave this matter to you, my father's business is so important, you must do it for me"

"The lower officials must do their best to serve the little prince, you see how the middle one is, I will arrange it at night"

"Okay, good, Lord Feng is really a little worm in the stomach of this king."

Feng Jingxian laughed with the little prince for a few more words, then left under the pretext, and glanced at Fang Jinming, the owner of the Ming Garden in the back seat, and Fang Jinming came out later, and the two came to a secluded small pavilion.

"The little prince is relieved," Feng Jing said first

"Thank you, my lord, the Salt Gang and Fang are grateful," Fang Jinming said respectfully

"The Salt Gang is grateful, how dare I Feng be, the Salt Gang has been harming for a long time," Feng Jingxian said angrily

"Don't be angry, so read it for the sake of the salt gang who were still sensible in the past, help them, adults don't worry about a bunch of rough men" Fang Jin Ming said

"That's it, I'm also a magistrate, I still understand it for the convenience of the local upstream, you can make an appointment with Ma Dahong, and let him pay tribute to some fresh things for the little prince to accompany him."

"The villain will arrange it tomorrow, my lord, you have to worry about it, please here" Fang Jinming accompanied Feng Jing to return to the stage first.
