Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 723 Wu Yong: How can you miss such a good thing as earning money and going up the mountain?

"We are Amway..."

"Pfft!"

"You dare to kill officers and soldiers..."

"Pfft!"

"Forgive me! Forgive me!!"

"These are dressed as personal guards, leave us for questioning!"

Everyone knows that this is a group of soldiers and bandits, but just like the other party came out to block the way and rob, and they have to dress up, both parties must know it.

Those who vainly tried to expose their identities to save their lives usually died the fastest, and in the end there were three or four people left, all of whom were well-equipped with armor and weapons.

Li Yan stretched out his hand to appease Shizi Cong, who still couldn't get enough of it, and looked down at the bodyguards lying on the ground: "The elite soldiers of Daming Mansion surrounded and suppressed the bandits in Baishawu, and then let you replace them, is there such a thing?"

The guard looked up, and could only see the horse's slender and graceful neck, as well as the majestic voice that seemed to come from the sky. When he lowered his head, he saw the cold spear head hanging on the side of the horse, dripping blood. .

This god-like power made him tremble, and he began to pour beans out of the bamboo tube: "There is something wrong! Wang Jiying, the military commander of the Daming Mansion, was born in the Zhending Wang family. He is the second son of the current Wang family's head. Domineering, our commander... our bosses all listen to him!"

Li Yandao: "In this way, behind Baishawu is the support of the Zhending Wang family?"

The personal guard nodded again and again: "Thieves' dens that can rob the government are all under the care of the Wang family, and those who are disobedient have been wiped out long ago..."

Li Yan understood: "Tell me the name of each thief leader."

The personal guards began to report the names of the bandits: "Ye Yundu'Fenshui Rhino'Chang Si, Peach Blossom Mountain'Little Tai Sui'Xiang Lei, Sangai Mountain'Ghost Scheming'Hou Tong, Erlong Mountain'Golden Eye Tiger'Deng Long..."

I didn't recognize most of the previous ones, until this Deng Long.

This person was the one who was tricked by Cao Zheng in the original plot to help Lu Zhishen kill him. Later, Yang Zhi and Wu Song joined in one after another, making Erlong Mountain the most powerful mountain besides Liang Mountain.

The Wang family can make so many thieves obediently, which shows that the Northern Army still has some elite troops. In more than ten years, the official plot of the Water Margin will start, and the law of the court will become more and more corrupt. Look up to arrest the robbers and the officers and soldiers, and they will not be able to arrest them."

There is no worst, only worse.

Li Yandao: "Then why did Wang Jiying kill the bandits and take credit for it?"

Qin Wei said: "I heard that a commander surnamed Lin came from the middle of the capital and strictly ordered not to kill good people and pretend to be meritorious. That's why Wang Dujian suppressed the bandits in Baishawu and used them to pretend to be meritorious..."

Li Yan raised his brows slightly. This is because he ate melons on his own body.

Although Lin Yuanjing was a little salty, he was an upright person, so he naturally hated the act of killing the good and pretending to be meritorious, but such a big commotion was probably involved in the political struggle and became a pawn for others to suppress the local tyrants.

After asking some more details, and asked several other personal guards to verify, Suo Chao took them down to deal with them. Lu Junyi came to his side and said in a low voice: "Brother, the Wang family tree has deep roots, so it's not easy to provoke!"

Li Yan said: "Where is your Lu family?"

Lu Junyi smiled wryly and said: "It's true that my father is a member of the wealthy party, but in terms of power and influence, the land of Hebei is far from our Lu family's turn to speak."

"Wenyou has the Han family in Xiangzhou. The Han family has been a powerful family in Xiangzhou for generations. The power is overwhelming. More than half of the land in Xiangzhou is named Han, and its influence has spread all over Hebei."

"The Wu Youzhending Wang clan has been an official in the Northern Army for generations. I don't know how many middle and low-level generals they have promoted. Once they offend them, no matter how great their contributions are, they will all be erased."

"Of course, now the Northern Army has no chance to make meritorious service, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse..."

Li Yan nodded slightly: "Wen is Han Zhongxian from 'The Three Emperors Supporting the Second Lord', and Wu is Wang Wugong from 'Black King Xianggong'. This Hebei is wonderful."

Lu Junyi showed a worried expression. In the past, he was not afraid of tigers when he was a newborn calf, and he would fight if he refused to accept it. Now that he recalled his father's flattery to all parties, he realized how difficult these real local snakes are.

Li Yan looked at him, and asked again: "How is it compared to the noble families of Tang before?"

Lu Junyi was stunned: "It's too late."

Li Yan smiled and said, "That's fine!"

These two families are already at the pinnacle of civil and military affairs, but compared with the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty, they are still pediatrics. The social resources occupied by the high-ranking noble families can be said to have penetrated into all aspects, and can even completely replace the ruling effect of the imperial court at the local level.

Once the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty confronts the aristocratic family, the result must be that the government orders cannot be sent to the states and counties. No matter how good the plans made by the officials, if the lower levels do not cooperate, it will be useless.

In the Song Dynasty, internal governance was extremely important, and local wealthy families were even more vigilant. Social class changes were very frequent. There were also noble families in the past, but they had not reached the level of noble families.

Otherwise, Wang Jiying didn't need to pay attention to the suppression at all, and just did what he did. After all, he lost the power of the local emperor before, and had a lot of scruples.

So what Lu Junyi saw was the power of the Wang family and the Han family, and what Li Yan saw was the power of these families: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, don't worry!"

Infected by his confidence, Lu Junyi also smiled again: "Listen to brother!"

When the two were talking, Suo Chao had already begun to organize people to carry the corpses. It was not a problem to be blocked on the official roads. Pile up together was more likely to cause disease. It seemed that they could only dig a hole to bury them.

Compared to slaughtering bandit soldiers neatly, this aspect is more troublesome.

And the convoy started to move forward, and the people inside tried not to look sideways, trembling through the area full of corpses.

"It's so murderous... But in today's world, it is precisely this kind of character that can make great things happen!"

Zhang Yu looked at the bloodstains on the ground where the corpses were being dragged, and the stench of blood came out of his nose, and his chest couldn't help churning, but he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and he was more and more grateful for the alliance between the two sides.

Just like what he said before, as long as you travel to the north and south these days, it is impossible to be free from bandits. Having escorts with you can make some money to persuade bandits to retreat, and even fight back, but there is no such thing as the other way around. The slaughter was clean.

In today's world, with such a powerful person around, it is really an unparalleled sense of security.

But looking at the sky, Zhang Yu frowned again.

The distance between the post stations is calculated, especially for such a huge convoy, it cannot be accommodated by an ordinary mansion, it must be a large post station, and it has been delayed for several hours, and it must not be able to catch up with the next post station.

Li Yan was also thinking about this question: "Is there a nearby village for accommodation?"

The bodyguard who was familiar with the route stepped forward and replied: "There are quite a few villages, but it is difficult to entertain the entire convoy. I am afraid that we will sleep outside tonight."

Li Yandao: "The weather is cold, the cars and horses are exhausted, resting outdoors, I'm afraid many people will fall ill, I'd better find a place...you come with me!"

Lion Cong led the way as if strolling ahead, and the direction of the convoy began to deviate from the official road.

The bodyguard became more and more frightened as he walked, but he couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lin, the place we are going here seems to be Baishawu, a den of thieves!"

Li Yan nodded: "We are going to Baishawu, don't worry, your escort Wang is inside, and the situation has been controlled."

When the sun began to set and the convoy arrived under the fort, the suspension bridge was lowered very quickly, and Hua Rong, Shi Qian and Wang Si came forward to greet them.

After the convoy entered, the suspension bridge was raised again, and the gate of the village was closed. Everyone looked at the inside of the fort, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Li Yan comforted: "This fortress is located in an important place, and now the banditry is calm, so it's okay to take a rest here. You lead your own team, find a place to live, light up the fire, and stay vigilant."

"Yes!"

Thinking that they don't have to suffer the cold outside tonight, everyone cheered up and scattered away.

At this moment, Wu Yong walked over shaking his feather fan, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, for returning from victory."

Li Yan smiled: "Professor Wu has insight, the soldiers and bandits have been pacified, and this place can be stable for a while."

"It's better to be famous than to meet him. This person is far stronger than the rumors. He is a person who can do great things!"

Wu Yong witnessed the end of Baishawu with his own eyes, and at the same time he was shocked, but he became eager again when he thought that there were still many bandits behind him.

With such a fierce dragon coming across the river, Baishawu is probably just the beginning, and it is the best time for people like him who are full of talents and have nowhere to display their strengths.

It's a pity that whether it was Hua Rong and Shi Qian who had been in contact with them before, Lu Junyi and Suo Chao who followed Li Yan when they first entered the village, and Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun who were guarding in front of the family team, they were all outstanding at a glance.

Wu Yong thought to himself that he could never become a useless person, so he thought about it, and pretended to sigh: "It's a pity that after a hero like Mr. Lin leaves, this place will be occupied by thieves, and passers-by will suffer again." Unspeakable!"

Li Yan looked at him: "That's what I'm worried about. The location of this fortress is excellent, so it's impossible for it to be abandoned. According to Professor Wu, what should we do?"

Wu Yong began to lay the groundwork: "Senior officials in the capital were killed, murders occurred frequently, local officials were corrupted, and the military was slack. We ordinary people are miserable. If we want to rob the rich and help the poor, and uphold justice, we still have to rely on the green forest heroes!"

Li Yandao: "If it's worse than bad, it's true."

This word made Wu Yong feel a little uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "This is quite appropriate, as it is now. If this Baishawu is empty, it must be occupied by the green forest heroes. It is better than soldiers and bandits." It's better to ask for more than you want..."

Li Yan already knew what he was going to say, and said calmly: "I have no contact with the people in the green forest, and I am different from others in the view of a hero. I'm afraid this matter will be embarrassing."

Sure enough, Wu Yong took the opportunity to recommend: "Xiaosheng has a good friend, whose surname is Chao and whose name is Gai. He is Baozheng from Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, Shandong.

Li Yan frowned slightly: "Since he is Baozheng, he is also an official of the court. Does he want to come here?"

Baozheng came from Wang Anshi's reform of "recruiting soldiers and carrying out Baojia". "Ten families in the territory of the people are appointed as one Bao, and one person who has the ability to head the household is selected as Baochang. Fifty families are one big Bao, and one person is selected. He is the head of the Great Security Guard. The top ten security guards are the one Capital Security Guard, and the one who is chosen by the public is the Capital Security Guard.”

Among the [-] villagers, choose the one who can be most admired by the public as Baozheng. This position is basically not appointed by the imperial court, but elected by the countryside. , it becomes Baozheng.

And Wu Yong and Chao Gai have known each other since they were young. As a young boy, he must be the first to think of each other. He lightly shook his feather fan and showed an indifferent smile: "Chao Bao is righteous and Bo Yuntian, who only stabs his friends in both sides, and Xiaosheng shows his face." Invitation, he must be willing!"
