Chapter 174 Chapter 180: Li Hao's Counterattack
Li Hao was sitting by the bed, just about to undress and go to bed, when Li Yuanzhong suddenly reported outside the door, Lin Dingkun begged to see him, Li Hao hurriedly got up and came to the front yard, Lin Dingkun knelt down on one knee and saluted, excitedly said: "My lord, it's done!"

Li Hao's eyes lit up: "Did Cao Tian really send someone to cook food?"

"Your Majesty's magic!" Lin Dingkun nodded vigorously, "A total of 15 people came, 14 of them were killed, and the leader was captured. Commander Lu interrogated a few words. This guy was very stubborn and refused to say anything."

Li Hao smiled happily: "Go! Take me to see it!"

Li Hao brought a group of Right Guards to the compound of Longchang Granary, and saw fourteen corpses lying in the courtyard, all wearing night clothes, and the only one alive was also injured, knelt there tied up.

Seeing Li Hao coming, Lu Yun stepped forward to salute and said, "Master, I have saved this arm."

Li Hao smiled calmly and didn't say much, but stepped forward to kick the man in black to the ground, the man in black screamed in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "Officer dog, I can't say anything. kill me!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows: "I won't kill you, and I won't let you tell, because I know who is behind the scenes. Cao Tian really disappointed me. I completely ignored my words. I am very upset. , Lu Yun, what do you think I should change?"

Lu Yun smiled slightly: "The young master can eat anything, but he can't suffer. If he wants to burn food, let's burn it back."

"Children can be taught." Li Hao patted Lu Yun on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Go to Cao Tian's house and set fire to it, and burn it bigger, otherwise he won't remember the lesson, and he can bring as many people as he wants, don't ask me report."

"Yes!" Lu Yun heard that he could set fire to Cao Tian's house, not to mention how excited he was. He felt that he had never been so happy in his life. It would be even better if he could burn Cao Tian to death together.

Lu Yun took only Jin Li and the others, and went to set fire to Cao's house. Li Hao fixed his eyes on the man in black again, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Of course I'm not afraid!" The man in black poked his neck with an air of arrogance.

Li Hao asked again: "Then what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything!"

"It's impossible." Li Hao walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "No one is afraid of everything, some are afraid of water, some are afraid of heights, some are afraid of bugs, and some are afraid of poisonous snakes... Although in the end The result is death, but some people are obviously not afraid of death, but they are afraid of these things, the process and the result are often two different things."

The man in black snorted coldly, his face was full of disdain, Li Hao didn't get annoyed, turned his head to a right guard and said: "Put it down, send someone to watch it strictly, and offer food and drink, um... Every day, go to the Manchu Building to find a girl for him to enjoy."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, thinking they heard it wrong.

"Don't doubt your ears." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Do as I tell you."

"Yes!" Several You Xiaowei led the order to escort the man in black down.

In the middle of the night, suddenly there was a rush of gongs in Tingzhou City, and then someone shouted loudly: "It's flooded! It's flooded! Cao's mansion is flooded..." The shouting became louder and louder. Many, all the lights of every household in the city were turned on.

In just a moment, the courtyard of the Cao Mansion in Tingzhou City was already ablaze, people everywhere on the streets looked towards the direction of the fire, and some people ran there, wanting to watch the excitement.

Suddenly, a large number of people rushed out of the governor's mansion and rushed towards Cao's mansion. The people along the way gave way one after another. They also knew that these soldiers were going to fight the fire, so there was no delay.

Three hundred right guards surrounded the entrance of the Cao Mansion, but they did not step forward to put out the fire. The inside of the Cao Mansion was already extremely busy, they were all saving lives and things, shouting loudly, and people kept rushing out of the gate of the mansion. His son Cao Qingyun just rushed out of the gate, and saw a large number of people standing at the door, but they didn't go in to put out the fire, so he stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you go in and help put out the fire!"

Peng Hai, who was the leader, said coldly: "The Lord Inspector has not arrived, and without his order, we must not make any claims!"

"You guys... are you here to watch the excitement..." The people in Cao's mansion were so angry that they piled up at the door and kept insulting Peng Hai. Peng Hai didn't even bother to pinch his eyelids.

After waiting for a long time, Li Hao finally rode over slowly, raised his eyebrows as soon as he reached the door and said, "Oh, it's so hot."

Just when Cao Qingyun saw Li Hao approaching, he shouted loudly: "Lord Inspector, quickly let your soldiers go in to help put out the fire."

Li Hao looked at the blazing fire in the courtyard, and asked with a puzzled face: "A three-foot-deep well in this city of Tingzhou may not even have a drop of water. How can we fight the fire without water?"

Cao Qingyun was taken aback when he heard the words. Li Hao was right. Tingzhou is located on the edge of the Gurbantunggut Desert. People in the government are saving property, not fighting fires.

But Cao Qingyun was too anxious, he didn't care whether there was water or not, and said loudly: "Then why don't you just watch the fire burn, you can go in and save people!"

"That's what you said." Li Hao raised his eyebrows, showing a sly smile, and was about to wave his hand to let the right guards in.

At this time, Cao Tian suddenly strode out and said loudly, "No need!"

Li Hao turned to look at Cao Tian, ​​and saw that his hair and eyebrows were burned a lot, his clothes were torn, his face was covered with sweat, and he looked very embarrassed.

Li Hao looked at Cao Tian with a sly smile on his face, and asked, "Don't drive Cao, do you really need help?"

Cao Tian's face was as gloomy as fog. To be honest, he wanted to go forward and bite Li Hao to death. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly said, "Master Li, if you really want to help, please send someone to Kunyue Lake in the west city." Draw water from the middle of the river and send it to the door of Beizhi's house to help put out the fire."

Kunyue Lake is located on a piece of wasteland in Xicheng, covering an area of ​​about five acres, which is quite deep. The people of Tingzhou rely on this lake for water, but Kunyue Lake is a bit far from here, at least five miles away. Drawing water to put out a fire from such a far away place makes people feel that "far away water can't put out a nearby fire".

Li Hao also saw that Cao Tian didn't want him to help at all, which proved that Cao Tian's family really had some ulterior secrets, for example, a huge amount of wealth or a large amount of rice.

Now that Cao Tian has said so, Li Hao naturally has to cooperate with him, nodding and smiling: "Okay!" Then he turned around and said loudly, "Everyone obeys orders, carry buckets, and go to Kunyue Lake to fetch water!" Secretly cast a look at Peng Hai, the meaning is very simple, "just pretend, don't take it seriously."

So Peng Hai took three hundred right guards to Kunyue Lake to draw water slowly. When they arrived at Kunyue Lake, Peng Hai ordered everyone to sit down and rest. Chatting, Li Hao's cornfield is here, guarded by You Xiaowei day and night.

After resting for half an hour, Peng Hai felt that it was almost done, so he asked everyone to carry half a bucket of water and walk back, resting for a while every mile. He had to strictly follow Li Hao's instructions. really.

When they returned to the gate of Cao's house with the buckets, it was already an hour later, and the fire was almost extinguished. Although Cao's house was big, it couldn't help being engulfed by such a fire. After another half an hour, the flame gradually became smaller, The sky was red, and the sun slowly climbed out of the horizon. When the sun completely jumped out of the ground, there was no fire in the Cao Mansion, only the ruins with white smoke everywhere.

Li Hao was still waiting outside the gate of the Cao Mansion. Not long after, Cao Tian walked out of the courtyard with his family and hundreds of servants, sorted out his embarrassment, and then saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for worrying about your humble job."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Li Hao replied with a smile all over his face, and then asked in a low voice, "Biejia Cao, can you take a step to speak?"

Cao Tian froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Of course."

"Follow me." Li Hao led him past the crowd and walked towards the east side of the street. He stopped only a hundred meters away from the crowd, then turned around and looked at Cao Tian with a smile. Seeing his smile, Cao Tian knew that nothing good was going on. , asked with a cold face: "What is your order?"

"How dare I order you." Li Hao grinned, "I'm afraid you'll stab me in the back again."

Cao Tian frowned, pretending to be confused, and said: "My lord, I don't understand what my lord said."

"Really!" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and stared, "Didn't you catch Manager Li's son? Didn't you send the person who set fire to the Longchang Grain Store last night?"

Seeing that he was tearing his face apart, Cao Tian didn't bother to put it on anymore, and said coldly: "The fire in the humble family's house must be a master's masterpiece, right?"

Li Hao waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's not a masterpiece, but it's a bit pretentious to say it's trivial, so it's medium."

The veins on Cao Tian's forehead were throbbing. He hadn't been so angry for many years. He wanted to kill someone so much. He clenched his fists tightly and made a rattling sound. Li Hao raised his eyebrows and chuckled lightly when he saw this: "Why? Angry? "

"Don't dare to be humble!" He gritted his teeth and stared at Li Hao. Although he said he didn't dare, his expression told Li Hao that he was very angry.

"Do you think you're the only one who will be angry?" Li Hao suddenly withdrew his smile, stared at him, and said coldly, "Do you think I have no temper? I said before that you should be obedient and don't mess with me." What a small move, you seem to have ignored my words, but it doesn't matter, I have plenty of means to deal with you, and you must also think that it is easy to hide and difficult to guard against, so I am not afraid to tell you clearly, regardless of your open and hidden arrows, I will Then, it's just... the next time you annoy me, it won't be as simple as burning down the house."

After Li Hao finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and returned to the front of the right guard team, and raised his voice: "Go, go back to the mansion!" After speaking, he took the three hundred right guards back to the governor's mansion in a mighty manner. Cao Tian looked at Li Hao arrogantly. The blue veins on his forehead trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Hao, wait, I will tell you not to survive! Not to die!"

On the same day, the Longchang Grain Store resumed business, and the price of rice and noodles dropped by 800%. Tingzhou’s grain price was many times higher than that in Guanzhong. A [-]% discount was a great discount. They came to buy grain, and the business of Longchang Grain Shop was booming, selling more than [-] shi rice noodles in just one day. The business was so good that shopkeeper Li had to go to the shop to help in person.

There is old Zhu Su in the city. He is a well-known old man in the city. He is over 70 years old this year. More than ten years ago, Cao Tian was just a Tingzhou Sima. Zhu Su’s son was the governor of Tingzhou. In the city, Zhu Shishi personally led troops to attack the enemy. After a fierce battle, he finally repelled the horse thieves, and Zhu Shishi was also injured, and later died of wound infection. , If you meet a student from a poor family, you don’t receive any literary fees, and burn your last life for the construction of the Tang Dynasty, so he is highly respected by the people in Tingzhou City, and it can be said that he is highly respected.

Mr. Zhu Su also came to buy grain today. Shopkeeper Li saw him coming and greeted him personally. After the two chatted for a while, Mr. Zhu asked scoldingly, "Shopkeeper Li, why did you suddenly close the business for no reason, which caused the people in the city to panic?" ah."
