Text Chapter 1 A good man spares his life
"Hu Batian built a mansion indiscriminately, violated the law of etiquette, privately amassed family soldiers, and had bad intentions, and this official was ordered by Yangzhou to assassinate the history of Yangzhou to confiscate prohibited items, demolish the mansion, and dismiss the family soldiers. Everyone in the Hu family should immediately come out of the house, and if they resist, they will be severely punished!" In front of a grand mansion, a middle-aged man wearing a gauze hat read aloud, and there was a sense of pride between his words.
This middle-aged man is Kang Guangqing, the Taishou of Wu County, Yangzhou, who came to demolish a powerful mansion called Hu Batian in Wu County on the order of Yangzhou Assassin Shi this time.
Hearing Kang Taishou's words, all the civil officials, generals and soldiers under his command couldn't help but look happy, ready to do it, it seems that this Hu Batian has been arousing public anger for a long time.
"Brush, brush, brush!" In front of the Hu family's mansion, a group of black-clothed guards were not afraid at all, and they pulled out their scimitars at their waists one after another, and confronted the soldiers of the official mansion.
"Bold Hu Batian, dare to openly resist the officers and soldiers, do you want to rebel!" Although he had known for a long time that the Hu family was not a fuel-efficient lamp, Kang Taishou couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that the Hu family's guards dared to openly confront the officers and soldiers. However, he had already anticipated this, made preparations in advance, and brought a team of sergeants over to prevent the Hu family from resisting the law by force.
Hearing Kang Taishou shouting like this, a tall and fat middle-aged man standing behind the Hu family's guards sneered and said, "Kang Guangqing, you guy who doesn't know the height of the sky! You don't pee and take pictures to see what you are! Do you think that if you become the Taishou of Wu County, you can move me Hu Batian?"
It was Hu Batian, the owner of the Hu family, who said this. The Hu family is a powerful family in Wu County, not only the family is prosperous, the power is huge, but also built a huge mansion, and raised many family soldiers to guard, the Hu family is rich and unkind, in Wu County, they take advantage of the robbery, bullying men and women, so that the people of Wu County dare not speak out.
Kang Taishou was born in poverty and knew the suffering of the people, and after he took over the post of Taishou of Wu County, he asked Yangzhou to assassinate Shi for orders, and led troops to demolish the Hu family's mansion and dismiss their family guards.
Without waiting for Kang Taishou's soldiers to make a move, the Hu family's guards drew their swords and pounced on them.
"The people of the Hu family are so arrogant that they dare to take the initiative to attack the officers and soldiers!" Seeing the Hu family's guards so ferocious, Kang Taishou couldn't help but be surprised.
The Hu family is powerful, the family property is abundant, and there are thousands of family soldiers, although there are only about 100 guards in this mansion, but all of them are agile and strong in martial arts.
"The Hu family has rebelled!" Seeing that the Hu family's guards took the initiative to attack the officers and soldiers, Kang Taishou was in the middle, and he waved his big hand: "Captain Shidu, give it to me!"
When Kang Taishou heard his order, a sturdy young general beside him hurriedly gave an order and led a team of sergeants to kill the Hu family's guards.
This general's name is Shi Datian, and he is the governor of Wu County. Kang Taishou knew that the Hu family was not only powerful, but also very ruthless, so in addition to bringing a team of officers and soldiers, he also asked Shi Datian to bring 200 sergeants over. Seeing that the people of the Hu family were fierce and fought with the officers and soldiers, Kang Taishou had an excuse, so he hurriedly dispatched this trump card force.
The combat effectiveness of the army is naturally incomparable to that of the officers and soldiers and the Hu family's guards, and it took less than half a column of incense for the sergeants under Shi Datian to subdue all the Hu family's guards.
"Up!" Before Kang Taishou and his party could be happy, Hu Batian gave an order, and the two mages of the Hu family had already jumped out. The two mages let out a loud shout, threw out a few ropes and a pile of papers, and muttered words for a while.
The ropes flew towards Shi Datian's sergeant as if they had become conscious. A rope tied a few sergeants, and the sergeants under Shi Datian's hand immediately lost dozens of them.
The pile of paper suddenly opened in the wind, turning into dozens of ironclad warriors, forcing towards the remaining sergeants.
"These two mages of the Hu family know how to demons!" all the officers and soldiers and all the sergeants immediately understood when they saw all this, "This is not easy to deal with!"
Kang Taishou said calmly: "Up!"
Hearing Kang Taishou's order, Du Wei Shi Datian also jumped forward and flew forward, he put his hands together, and recited the incantation for a while, and then shouted: "Withdraw!" The ropes heard his shout, as if they had turned into ordinary ropes, and they fell to the ground when they landed, and those ironclad warriors also turned back into pieces of paper and fell to the ground.
It seems that this Shi Datian is also a spell master, and his Taoism is even more clever than the two mages of the Hu family. Seeing such a powerful master in the opponent's array, the two mages couldn't help but be taken aback, and they didn't dare to step forward to show off their magical powers.
"What?" Seeing that one of the captains on the other side was actually equipped with a strange spell and easily cracked the spell of his own mage, Hu Batian couldn't help but be surprised.
"Can we go into your house now and search for it?" Seeing that Hu Batian had exhausted his donkey skills, Kang Taishou said triumphantly.
"Okay! Those who know the times are Junjie! You have such a powerful lieutenant under you, I, Hu Batian, am willing to lose the bet! If you want to search, come in and search!"
Hearing Hu Batian say this, Kang Taishou's face showed a smile of victory, and as soon as he gave the order, all the officers and soldiers and sergeants drove into Hu's mansion and began to search around.
"What's going on?"
"You have eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dare to come here to spread wild? You don't inquire, what kind of family is the Hu family? Do you think that with the history of Yangzhou thorn to support you, you can go against the Hu family? If you dare to touch the Hu family's grass and trees today, I will let your whole family be assigned to the army!"
Seeing the officers and soldiers of Wu County searching the Hu Mansion like wolves and tigers, the wives, sons and ladies of the Hu family couldn't help but be furious. However, the officers and soldiers ignored them at all, and still began to search around according to Kang Taishou's order to see how many forbidden items the Hu family had.
In the backyard of the Hu family, a quaint stone gate attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers. This stone gate is thick and solid, firmly guarding the underground palace behind, this place seems to be used to store very valuable things, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly led Kang Taishou to the stone gate.
"You can't go in, this is the ancestral tomb of our Hu family! If you disturb the ancestors of our Hu family, your sin will be great!" The people of the Hu family hurriedly came to stop it.
"Ancestral Tomb? Hehe! Such a place is more suitable for putting some rare treasures! You want to bluff us if you disturb the ancestors of the Hu family, you can't help but underestimate me Kang Guangqing!" Kang Taishou sneered, "Search!" With an order, all the soldiers smashed open the stone door like wolves and entered.
"Your Excellency, there's a lot of treasure in here, and some forbidden items!" one of the soldiers reported.
"Sure enough, I guessed correctly!" Hearing the soldier say this, Kang Taishou gently stroked his beard, and then took a big stride and walked towards the underground palace.
"Beware of the mechanism!" Shi Datian waved his hand, and several highly skilled sergeants hurriedly followed, firmly protecting Kang Taishou. Shi Datian looked at the environment around the dungeon, and walked in with a bend down.
The Hu family's underground palace looks inconspicuous from the outside, but it is really not small inside. The dungeon is full of all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, and it seems that the Hu family is really as rich as the outside world rumores. In addition to gold and silver jewelry, there are many forbidden items such as gold silk nanmu furniture and cloud brocade in the dungeon, and seeing these things, Kang Taishou couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
After looking at the environment of the dungeon, a huge sculpture of a non-dragon and non-snake caught Kang Taishou's attention: "What is this?"
"This is the stone statue of the Hu family's underground palace, it seems that it may be used to ward off evil spirits in the town!" After a few soldiers finished speaking, they walked towards the statue.
"That's the ancestral sacred relic of our Hu family, you can't touch it!" Seeing the soldier walking towards the statue, the people of the Hu family couldn't help but be anxious.
The soldiers are here to raid the house, and the Hu family will not let them move, so they naturally have to take a good look. "My lord, there seems to be a mechanism on this statue!" a soldier suddenly noticed something.
"Open it up and take a look! there may be more forbidden items in there!" Kang Taishou hurriedly ordered.
