Liu Hai went up Longtou Mountain and came to the ruins of the Juyi Hall. Ye Faguang was directing his men to clean up the ruins of the Juyi Hall.

When he saw Liu Hai coming, he hurried over and gave Liu Hai a new military salute. Then he pulled Liu Hai aside and said to Liu Hai: "Sir, something is not good today."

"What's wrong?"

"It seems that this bandit den is connected to a certain big shot in the city of Anhui Province."

"How did you know?"

"Sir, this is what the tiger who went down the mountain just said himself. And I think this person is very confident. What he said is probably true."

Liu Hai thought for a while and suddenly laughed, "It's not a big deal. Does such a big man still dare to file a lawsuit with us? If so, he would go to the Queen Mother and she would not be justified."

"Sir, I'm afraid that they will keep us in the dark. Although we are not affiliated with him, I am afraid that we will often bring trouble to the court and we will end up in trouble."

Liu Hai heard this but didn't care, "Don't worry about this. I think our Hunan Army people will not do this kind of thing. The people who will do this are the civil servants sent by Lafayette to Liangjiang. These people are originally related to

We have a lot of nastiness, and with my father-in-law on top of it, they can't make any trouble."

Ye Faguang nodded unconsciously after hearing this. This is indeed the truth. Although the imperial court has always been worried about the Hunan Army, the Hunan Army is too powerful. Now the Hunan Army is almost in an absolute lead in Jiangnan. The imperial court can only slowly

Weakened, I dare not activate it all at once.

Liu Hai brought Ye Faguang back to the Juyi Hall. The Juyi Hall had been almost cleaned up. Unexpectedly, a few people in the Juyi Hall were still alive during such bombardment.

These people were gathered into a group and tied together with the original tiger from the mountain.

Liu Hai looked at the prisoners and asked Ye Faguang next to him, "Which one is the tiger descending from the mountain? Pull it out and let me take a look."

Ye Faguang stepped forward in person and dragged Xia Shanhu to Liu Hai's side, "Sir, this is the bandit leader Xia Shanhu."

Liu Hai looked at the bandit up and down. As Ye Faguang said, he was still dissatisfied and dissatisfied. It seemed that he firmly believed that Liu Hai and the others could not do anything to him.

"Xiashanhu, what does it matter? Tell me now. I don't have time to waste time with you here."

Xia Shanhu raised his head and glanced at Liu Hai, only to think that he was a young man with a hairless mouth and weak work ability.

"Are you afraid now? It's too late. Let me tell you, this matter is not over yet."

Liu Hai looked at the bandit leader who had fallen down and couldn't see the situation clearly. He shook his head helplessly, and then ordered Ye Faguang on the side, "Pull him out and kill him."

After receiving the order, Ye Faguang personally dragged the tiger down the mountain and walked out of the mountain.

At this time, Xiashanhu was a little scared. He didn't expect that the person in charge was a man named Lengtouqing, so he shouted loudly: "The Chief Minister of Anhui is my benefactor. Please spare my life for the sake of his old man."

"

But Liu Hai stood there as if he didn't hear what he said. Ye Faguang knew from Liu Hai's intention that there was no room for maneuver.

So Ye Faguang recruited a few more soldiers to drag the tiger down the mountain and out of the door. After a while, there was a crisp sound of gunfire outside the door.

Then Ye Faguang returned to Liu Hai and gave the order: "Sir, the bandit leader came down from the mountain and was shot on the spot."

Liu Hai nodded and did not speak, but looked at the other living prisoners. These people were able to stay in the Juyi Hall with Xia Shanhu, so they must be important figures in this village.

When these people saw Liu Hai glance over, they all trembled. When they killed people and looted goods before, they never imagined that they would end up like today.

Liu Hai doesn't have time to chat with them now. Every one of these people deserves to die.

"Okay, all those responsible will be shot to avenge the people nearby."

After Liu Hai finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to go down the mountain, but before he had taken a few steps, one of the people in the group wailed, "Sir, I have important information to report to you, please spare my life."

Liu Hai had already taken a few steps, but when he heard what he said, he immediately stopped. He turned around and saw that it was a scholar with a goatee.

"What information do you have? If it satisfies me, I will spare your life."

After hearing Liu Hai's words, the scholar was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly crawled to his knees on the ground and came to Liu Hai.

"Sir, I know where the bandit leader went down to hide his treasure."

Liu Hai was very excited when he heard this. Now, the mountain tiger has been rampant at the junction of Anhui and Jiangsu for many years. It seems that he has a lot of wealth. If he takes out these treasures, he can also relieve his financial pressure.

So Liu Hai said with great interest: "Yes, this is exactly what I want to know. If you can lead our people to take out the treasure, I will spare your life and maybe give you a future."

After hearing this, the goatee scholar showed ecstasy on his face, and at the same time, he unconsciously collapsed on the ground. This time he really narrowly escaped death. If he hadn't been clever, he would have met the King of Hell by now."

The next thing was simple. Under the leadership of the goatee scholar, Liu Hai discovered the treasure that Xia Shanhu had hidden over the years in a secret cave in the back mountain.

Liu Hai was shocked when he saw the treasures in the cave. He originally thought that the mountain tiger would only get ten or twenty thousand taels of silver in so many years, but he didn't expect that the cave was filled with gold and silver.

Liu Hai made a rough estimate, and found that the total of these items would be approximately two to three hundred thousand taels of silver.

In addition to the silver, Liu Hai found a few more boxes in a corner, piled there casually, seemingly without the attention of Xia Shanhu.

And this is the goatee scholar, who ran over and opened the boxes one by one, and then said to Liu Hai with a smile on his face: "Sir, Xia Shanhu is a rough man, he doesn't know what is the most expensive, these things are all valuable

Liancheng's antiques, Xiashanhu doesn't care, I collected them here."

Liu Hai looked at the scholar with a strange look. He was afraid that Xiashanhu didn't care about these things. Finally, he narrowed his eyes. If these things were really as precious as he said, it wouldn't be possible for Xiashanhu to rob them for decades.

The money was not as much as what he earned. In the end, he was so troubled that he ended up working for him instead.

Liu Hai immediately ordered his men to secretly pack all the gold and silver treasures into boxes and transport them to the foot of the mountain.

Liu Hai also fulfilled his promise. He spared the life of the scholar with the goatee and made him serve as a scribe in his military camp to serve as Wang Jun's assistant.

After Liu Hai returned to the camp, he went to the tent where the treasures were hidden to have a look, and was very satisfied with the treasures.

These silver taels can be slowly used as military expenses, but he plans to keep those antiques and wait until modern times to sell them, and they will be worth sky-high prices.

Not to mention Liu Hai admiring his trophies here, but also near Longtou Mountain, the common people heard the sound of gunfire and gunfire in Longtou Mountain early in the morning. They didn't know what was going on and were so scared that they stayed at home and did not dare to come out.

Finally, a few brave ones quietly climbed to the top of a nearby mountain and looked from a distance, only to see that Longtou Mountain was being bombarded by cannons, and the smoke was rising high.

These villagers guessed that either the government troops came to encircle and suppress the bandits, or there was a fight between the two groups of bandits. This was another dragon crossing the river and wanted to occupy the treasure land of Longtoushan.

These villagers returned to the village and reported what happened to the village leader.

The Lieutenant did not hesitate after hearing this. After all, this matter had been fought like a swarm. If these people were not satisfied with robbing everyone, something big would have happened.

So the decent people here directly reported what happened in Longtoushan to the county government.

After hearing the report, the local county magistrate was shocked. He had no control over this matter and did not want to.

This Longtou Mountain has a backing and a strong army. If the few government officials under his command pass by, they will be killed by the enemy.

If these people are bandits and can fight with the people from Longtoushan, they must be quite powerful. Now they are fighting a fire. Go and take care of it yourself. They are just delivering food. If they are officers and soldiers, then you have no responsibility.

.

Therefore, the county magistrate sent the person who came to report the news, and immediately ordered the four gates of the county to be closed tightly, and at the same time reported the news to the government office.

However, by the time the people sent by the government came to see what was going on, Liu Hai had already left Anhui with a large group of people and returned to Jiangsu.

Next, Liu Hai took the people and horses to leisurely travel around the mountains and rivers. After a few days, they finally crossed the entire Jiangsu Province and returned to the vicinity of Wusongkou, Shanghai.

After Liu Hai brought the Marine Corps back to the military camp, he immediately ordered his men to carry the white money to the school ground and called all the soldiers to meet on the school ground.

After the soldiers gathered on the school field, Liu Hai delivered a passionate speech on the school field, to the effect that this time the march and training were perfect, and all the troops were tempered.

However, many unsatisfactory results occurred during this round of bandit suppression. For example, during the battle, some people relaxed their vigilance, which resulted in the appearance of brothers and undue casualties.

When Liu Hai said this, Ye Faguang stood below and couldn't raise his head, because this time his troops were mainly attacking when the tigers gathered together in the lower mountain, and it was his inattention that caused the four brothers to die on the spot.

After Liu Hai finished his speech, he started a large-scale sharing. This time, all the soldiers who participated in the training were rewarded with five taels of silver each, and the first battalion participated in the main attack, and each soldier was rewarded with ten taels of silver.

As for the soldiers who died, Liu Hai was not stingy and rewarded each of them with 100 taels of silver. He ordered Ye Faguang to personally take the silver to the homes of these soldiers to express condolences to them.

Liu Hai's last arrangement made the soldiers below even more fanatical. They were forced to work hard just to make a living and get some military pay. Unexpectedly, even if they died in battle, their commander-in-chief would still pay them pensions.
