After a while, Zhang Ping ran back, gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother, this is amazing, a group of people came here this morning, just before us, and they have been walking for more than half an hour now."
Li Ye immediately asked Chen Huandao: "Didn't you say that the dead are concentrated in a few villages? Where is the closest one to here?"
"That's Mawang Township, just ten miles to the north!"
"us!"
Everyone climbed up the hillside, got on their horses one after another, and galloped north along the official road.
After running for more than ten miles, another village appeared in front of him. Li Ye squinted his eyes and said, "They are in this village!"
Everyone was stunned, "How does the general know?"
"Those dogs are still gathered at the entrance of the village and have not dispersed. They must be here to welcome the guests."
Indeed, more than a dozen dogs gathered at the entrance of the village, all looking towards the village together.
"General, what should we do?"
"You wait here, I'll take care of them!"
Zhang Ping said quickly: "Brother, I will go with you too!"
Li Ye shook his head, "Don't go, the Yang family will take revenge on you. Yang Jian and I are old acquaintances."
"Then wouldn't we be useless?"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "You go back to the city now and monitor Anyuan Restaurant. I will take care of them when I get back!"
Li Ye said to Peng Haiyan again: "You should also go back. This is a moment of violence. You are an official, so it is best not to be present."
Peng Haiyan nodded: "General, don't kill people like last time!"
Li Ye smiled and said: "I have a sense of propriety, just let them not move!"
At this time, the female subordinate Wang Chenghua rushed forward and said: "Captain, I will go with you!"
Li Ye smiled and said: "You can do it, Mr. Chen, you will come too. If they have another branch, I'm afraid they will need you to lead the way!"
Everyone went separately, and Li Ye and the other three came to the entrance of the village. Li Ye smiled at Chen Huan, who looked nervous, and said, "There is a forest over there. Sir, he is hiding in the forest for the time being!"
Chen Huan breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically: "I don't know martial arts, so I can't help you!"
Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "I don't need your help. Just hide it and help me."
Chen Huan urged his horse to run towards the woods. When Li Ye saw him disappear, he said to Wang Chenghua: "Don't do anything to deal with these bastards. I can do it alone, but I need you to help me find them."
them, and monitor them."
Wang Chenghua nodded, and the two of them galloped towards the village, one after the other. Li Ye pulled out the water and fire stick. He used this water and fire stick very smoothly, so he kept it with him.
A group of dogs rushed toward them, barking wildly. Li Ye hit them head-on with a stick. The leading black dog was unable to dodge and was knocked over by the stick, collapsing to the ground. The other dogs were frightened and ran away, barking in the distance.
The two of them rushed into the village on horseback, and after only running a hundred steps, Wang Chenghua discovered it.
"Captain, there!"
Wang Chenghua is indeed a bounty hunter. She pointed to an alley and said, "I saw several men in black entering the hospital."
"Just wait here and watch the horses for me!"
Li Ye handed the horse to her and rushed towards the alley with the water and fire stick.
Sure enough, there were seven or eight black warriors standing in the courtyard of a house. Someone in the room shouted sternly: "I don't even want to give you any money, old beggar, you don't want to toast me and you will have to drink wine as a fine!"
Without saying a word, Li Ye rushed into the yard, swung his stick and hit the black-clothed warrior's legs with unparalleled speed. There were several "click!" sounds of broken bones, and the three warriors fell to the ground with a loud and painful sound.
Call.
The other warriors were startled and rushed at them with their swords drawn. Li Ye dodged by and knocked down two of them in an instant. He then hit the other man on the calf with a stick. In the end, the two were so frightened that they turned around and ran away before it was too late.
Li Ye jumped up, the water and fire stick swept past, and the two fell to the ground screaming.
At the moment when the rabbit was up and the falcon was about to fall, all eight warriors in the courtyard fell to the ground. All of them, without exception, had their legs broken and lay on the ground wailing in pain.
At this time, the people in the room rushed out. There were three people in total. One was Yang Jian's deputy, surnamed Bao, who was also the leader. The other was the warrior who followed him. He was responsible for violently threatening the sufferer. The third
Li Ye recognized at a glance that he was the clerk who copied the list for him, and he should be a subordinate of Zou County Cheng.
Li Ye gritted his teeth, how dare that bastard lie to him.
The deputy knew Li Ye and was so frightened that he trembled all over and turned around to run away. Li Ye hit him on the leg bone with a stick. There was a "Crack!" sound. The leg bone broke and he immediately fell to the ground. Li Ye stepped on his back.
Ji Shang said coldly: "Go back and tell Yang Jian that I will wait for him outside Nancheng at three o'clock tonight. I am alone and he can bring all his men. He and I will make a deal tonight to clear Huining County."
Do you hear clearly about the grievances and grievances?"
His spine was crunched by the step, and the deputy said in great pain: "Young man, listen carefully!"
Li Ye stared at the warrior in the room, his pupils shrank, and his eyes suddenly became cold.
The samurai actually grabbed the old woman in the room, put a knife on her neck, and shouted viciously: "Get out of here, or I'll kill her."
Before he could say anything, a cold light flashed, and a flying knife was inserted into his wrist and shot through his wrist. The strength in his hand disappeared, and the warrior shouted, and the knife in his hand "clanged!" fell to the ground.
Li Ye stepped forward, grabbed his hair, and dragged him out. The warrior was so frightened that he screamed, "Spare my life! Spare your life!"
Li Ye pulled out his dagger and swung it, and his neck was immediately cut off. Li Ye threw his head on the snow, and blood spurted out from his neck. All the warriors in the yard were so frightened that they froze and did not dare to shout anymore.
Li Ye ignored them and stared at the county official with stern eyes. The county official was frightened by the bloody scene and knelt down, "Zou Xiancheng wanted me to do it. I can't help it!"
Li Ye dragged him into the house, narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many groups of people are going to the countryside?"
"It's just this group of people. Today is just a test. If everything goes well, three groups of people will come out tomorrow!"
Li Ye nodded, "How many people have you convinced in total?"
"I have convinced four people. This is the fifth person, the old woman. She refused to agree after she died."
"Where's the list?"
The county official quickly took out the list and handed it to Li Ye shivering. Li Ye took a look and saw that it was a copy of the list of casualty farmers. The first page was for the dead, and the last page was for the injured. It was exactly the same as the money and grain subsidy list, except that it had more
A line of addresses.
"Hmph! Your county magistrate's son seems to be tired of living, and he dares to lie to me."
"Ah! The county magistrate didn't give it to them. They got it from the censor and brought it from Chang'an."
"Who is your county magistrate's backstage?"
"Yes, Prince Consort Zhang!"
"Zhang Bian?"
The county official nodded. Li Ye glanced at him and said, "Tell me one more secret and I will let you go today."
"County Lieutenant Wang Shan is also Zhang's consort. He was originally a county lieutenant of Hancheng County and was transferred to prepare to be promoted to county magistrate. Unexpectedly, the court arranged for Li Yu to be the county magistrate, which cut off the promotion process of Zou County Magistrate and Wang County Lieutenant.
Road, they hated Li Yu to the core. Before Li Yu took office, they discussed how to bring down Li Yu. One of them pretended to be a good guy, the other pretended to be a bad guy, and they firmly controlled Li Yu."
"May I have your name?"
"The villain's name is Kong Yuan."
Li Ye whispered in his ear: "If Zou Ju makes any move, report it to me in time. I will arrange for you to go to Jingzhao Mansion later!"
The county official was shocked and did not dare to say a word. He slowly turned around and saw that Li Ye was no longer around. There were only warriors groaning in pain and a bloody human head on the ground in the yard.
There was a sound of 'Plop!', and the old woman fainted from fright when she saw the head.
Yang Jian looked at the broken-legged warriors and deputies in the yard, as well as the heads and headless corpses on the ground, and he immediately made a decisive decision to withdraw!
He knew better than anyone who the other party was. He was a murderous devil. The battle in Huining County had already frightened him out of his mind.
Yunyang County killed more than two hundred people, and not only was he not punished, he was promoted to the county king. He knew that Li Ye could not be messed with, especially this time when the safety of the Li family was involved. If he made him anxious, he would definitely be cruel and cruel to himself.
He and his men were killed cleanly.
What's more, Li Ye had already sent him a death invitation, asking him to take his men outside the city at the third watch to clear up the grievances in Huining County. Others may not know what the grievances in Huining County meant, but Yang Jian knew it all too well.
Yang Jian worked for Yang Guozhong because he came to become an official and make a fortune, not to die. If his life was lost, what was the point of getting promoted and making a fortune?
He immediately ordered people to hand over the inventory to Zou County Cheng, and then ordered to pack up his things and leave Heyang County.
Jiang Quan saw that the people in the yard were packing their belongings. He immediately became anxious and ran to Yang Jian and said, "The plan has just started to be implemented. What is Yang Zuozhi going to do?"
Yang Jian was busy packing up his personal belongings and said without raising his head: "Henyang County is not very safe. We are going to find a safe place. You go find Zou County Cheng!"
Jiang Quan said angrily: "The investigation team will arrive the day after tomorrow. We only have one chance this afternoon and one day tomorrow. We have just convinced four families and we need to convince at least half of them. We have to replace the bodies tonight and tomorrow night.
If you leave Heyang, who will do this?"
Yang Jian grabbed Jiang Quan's neck, glared at him fiercely and said: "Fuck you, if you dare to say another nonsense, I will break your legs!"
Jiang Quan sneered repeatedly: "You were scared by Li Ye. What did you more than fifty people do here? You ran away without doing anything. If the other party broke the legs of your men, you didn't dare to come and interrupt them."
The legs under his hands? Cowards!"
Yang Jian really wanted to kill him with a knife, but he finally held back.
He let go of Jiang Quan's collar and said coldly: "My Xiangguo asked me to obey the orders of Zheng Yushi, not the arrangements of your Zhang family. If you have any plans, go ahead and do it yourself. Please forgive me for not accompanying you!"
