A knife in love

Chapter 2563
The person's voice had just finished, and suddenly someone said loudly: "You have surrounded us here secretly, what are you going to do?!"

The group of thieves were startled when they heard someone speak loudly suddenly, and turned their heads to see who the speaker was.It's just that the person who spoke was hiding in the crowd, and there were about 700 people crowded around. It was difficult to find who spoke.When everyone was wondering, the man said loudly: "Friends from the green forest, they, they have surrounded us here. If you don't believe me, you can take a look at the surrounding houses, there are their ambush soldiers on the roof!"

The group of thieves were shocked when they heard the words, and turned their heads to look around.Sure enough, there were figures of people on the roofs of nearby houses, and many men wearing deep hats and black clothes were crouching on the roofs, all of them holding short crossbows, aiming at the bandits in the green forest on the road.It was the time when the sun was just rising, and the sun was shining down from the east. Under the reflection of the sun, the tip of the crossbow gave off a little bit of cold light, and the momentum was quite astonishing.

The group of thieves just now saw a crossbow arrow shot out from the cavalry, and it hit Hall Master Wang's feet. Most of the arrow body was buried in the ground, leaving only an inch-long tail. It can be seen that the crossbow arrow was fired with great momentum. If it was shot by the crossbow arrow There is no doubt that you will die.At this time, there were almost a hundred crossbow arrows on the surrounding roofs aimed at the group of bandits. If these arrows were fired together, the group of bandits would surely suffer heavy casualties.Thinking of this, the faces of the green forest thieves changed drastically, and they no longer dared to escape to the east.

Li Qiufeng followed Xu Ying raised his horse, passed through the cavalry, walked more than a hundred steps, and arrived at the gate of the king's house.From a distance, one hundred and ten feet away, there were more than twenty riders lined up on the main road, guarding the way out to the west of Zhuangzi.Only then did Xu Yingyang rein in his mount, turn over and dismount, gently push the deep hat up with his right hand, revealing half of his face, smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "Master Li is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and returned to Longtan and Tiger's Lair to help us defeat the Japanese pirates." Conspiracy, Xu admires it."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself, now that it's time to burn your eyebrows, do you still have the heart to say such nonsense here?At this moment, he was anxious and didn't want to waste time with Xu Yingyang, so he shook his head and said, "Master Xu, why are you here?"

Seeing that Li Qiufeng was a little anxious, Xu Yingyang smiled, and said: "After Mr. Li left this morning, Xu thought about it, and discussed it with a few mature and prudent brothers from Beisi. Murderous intentions are everywhere, and only relying on Master Li and Miss Murong, it is more difficult to subdue these green forest thieves. Although Shi Gandang, Wu Yiyi and others have ordinary martial arts skills, but as the saying goes, tigers cannot hold back a pack of wolves. Thousands of thieves surrounded him. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, Mr. Li would be hard to resist. Therefore, Xu took the brothers from Beisi and rushed to Wangjiazhuang to help Mr. Li. If these green forest thieves are subdued by Mr. Li, It is best to help us deal with the Japanese pirates. At worst, we need them to disperse and flee far away. They cannot be the accomplices of the Japanese pirates. If these guys are obsessed and help the Japanese pirates do evil, hehe, then don’t blame Xu’s men for being ruthless gone."

When Xu Yingyang said this, he paused for a while, took a look at Li Qiufeng, and then said: "These green forest thieves who came to Wangjiazhuang all have cases on them, and it is absolutely not wrong to find out one at random and sentence him to death Mr. Xu knew that Mr. Li was a chivalrous man who helped the poor and the poor, so he couldn't bear to kill these thieves. But Mr. Li, don't forget that these thieves occupy the mountains and become kings, and they become bandits when they fall against the court. To kill the common people. Whether in public or private, these thieves cannot be indulged..."

Before Xu Yingyang finished speaking, Li Qiufeng rushed to say: "Master Xu, I think when Li talked to you this morning, you had already made up your mind that no matter the success or failure of the matter, you must kill all these green forest thieves. Yes or no?"

Xu Yingyang shook his head, and said: "My lord, don't think Xu is so cold-blooded. Killing or not killing these green forest thieves, what Xu said doesn't matter. The imperial court has the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yushitai And the cabinet, even in Jinyiwei, if the Beisi wants to kill people, it is not a mere town governor who can make the decision. But these people are all guilty, and some are heinous villains Whether they should die or live, Master Li will naturally know clearly."

Li Qiufeng listened to Xu Yingyang's words, and the more he listened, the more confused he became. He thought to himself that this person had talked a lot, but he didn't say at all whether he wanted to wipe out the green forest thieves.It is true that very few people in the officialdom are willing to cut straight to the point and tell the truth. As the saying goes, they only talk a little bit when they meet people, but they can't give them their whole heart. Playing an official style is one of the best skills of officials, big and small.Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get along in the officialdom for a day, so I have to pack up and leave.But he had already turned back to Jin Yiwei, but Yang Zhenzhong didn't kill the killer and sent a sea arrest document to arrest him, so he was still at ease.Xu Yingyang, as the governor of Beizhen, naturally knew that he had no intention of messing around in the officialdom, so it was really puzzling why he wanted to fight with him in an official way.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, Xu Yingyang continued: "Master Li, although we are not friends, we are not enemies either. Therefore, Xu should have no scruples in front of Mr. Li and just tell the truth. But Mr. Li I have been in Nansi for many years, so I naturally know that the less I know about some things, the better, otherwise I am afraid that there will be great troubles in the future. Whether these green forest thieves are dead or alive, Mr. Li doesn’t have to worry about it, just leave it to Xu to deal with it.”

When Xu Yingyang said this, he turned his head to look at Dongshou, and then said to Li Qiufeng: "Before we entered the village just now, we met a dozen sneaky guys near the official road. The brothers under Xu Seeing that these guys are not like good people, they asked them to stop and answer. Who knew that this group of people raised their weapons and killed them immediately after hearing this. Although these guys are fierce, their martial arts are too poor, and they were killed in a short time It was a crushing defeat. The leader was an old guy who kowtowed and begged us to spare him after being captured. Xu asked Chen Zongqi to ask him about his origins. The old guy claimed to be Shi Gandang, the owner of Baoyang Village. Xu heard After speaking, he immediately interrogated himself. It turned out that this old guy committed a major crime many years ago and was chased and killed by officers and soldiers for hundreds of miles. He was about to fall into the hands of officers and soldiers, but he was rescued by a group of people. Afterwards, he was given a lot of gold and silver, asking him to make a comeback and pull a new lock outside the pass.

"Shi Gandang escaped from death, and somehow got help from this group of people. Although he was overjoyed, he was very surprised. He didn't know why these people valued him so much. Later, the leader of this group of people said to him, if Baoyang Village To re-emerge outside the customs, he had to hand over 1 taels of silver every year as a reward for saving his life. At that time, Shi Gandang was like a gambler who had lost everything. He never thought that he would be able to re-emerge. Life, so I agreed without even thinking about it."
