Chapter 140 Why Are You Harming Me So Much! 【order】

In Cai Wen's view, Xiao Mingsheng and Inoue Jungoro died, as did Xue Lun, Wu Ke, and hundreds of desperadoes he raised who dared to fight and kill.

Even if it was Li Huantie who beat him, it would be impossible for him to survive under the siege of hundreds of desperadoes.

And Sun Wei also recovered from the shock at this moment, and looked at the man in black with some expectations.

The man in black shook his head and said, "This subordinate doesn't know. When this subordinate saw Xiao Mingsheng and Inoue Jungoro dead, they rushed back to report to your lord."

Cai Wen snorted coldly and said, "Then what are you doing in a daze, why don't you check it out quickly."

The figure of the man in black disappeared into the night, and the courtyard was quiet. After a while, Cai Wen looked at Sun Wei and said, "Gongya, do you think we are going to take the last step?"

Sun Wei gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, don't be in a hurry for now, let's wait for the final result to come out first."

Here, most of the houses in the Green Bamboo Garden have been set on fire, and all the pavilions and pavilions have been turned into a sea of ​​flames. Even standing in this wide courtyard, you can still feel the breath of the billowing fire waves blowing towards your face.

Xue Lun and Wu Ke looked at each other, and they retreated in unison, disappearing into the crowd in an instant.

The reaction of the two of them was really unexpected. Obviously, they did not expect such a reaction from the two of them.

Xue Lun's eyes flickered with crazy murderous intent and shouted: "Fire gunners, crossbowmen, come here!"

Immediately, among the hundreds of thieves, dozens of musketeers and crossbowmen gathered.

With Cai Wen's status, it is really not difficult to get some firecrackers and strong crossbows, but people like Xue Lun have always admired close combat, so they don't have much interest in firecrackers and crossbows .

Of course, this has something to do with the shortcomings of the firecrackers and crossbows. Therefore, among the hundreds of people this time, there are only dozens of firecrackers and crossbowmen.

After rushing and fighting earlier, many Jin Yiwei lost their lives in the hands of these musketeers and crossbowmen because they were unprepared for a while.

But when it comes to close combat, the firecrackers and crossbows lose their long-range advantages in one fell swoop.

Now Xue Lun and Zhao Ji's crossbowmen and firecrackers obviously want to use sharp weapons such as firecrackers and crossbows to target Li Huan.

When dozens of musketeers and crossbowmen gathered around them, Xue Lun, Wu Ke and the others felt a little more secure.

Li Huan frowned looking at those firearms and crossbowmen. As for Meng Hui and Du Guang, they said to Li Huan with worried faces: "My lord, firearms and crossbows are powerful. They are invincible. Why don't you fight?" Go back first..."

Li Huan shook his head, looked at the people fighting with each other not far away, and said, "Once we retreat, the brothers will be hunted down by the other side, and there will definitely be heavy casualties."

Meng Hui gritted his teeth and said, "But your safety is the most important thing, my lord. How can my subordinates put you in danger."

Li Huan smiled slightly, glanced at Wang Yangming, who was calm and composed not far away, and said in his heart: "Mr. Yangming, how about we join forces to defeat these enemies first and then capture Cai Wen and Gu Huang?"

Hearing what Li Huan said, Wang Yangming smiled slightly and said, "Since Mr. Li has spoken, then Wang will be disrespectful."

On the contrary, Meng Hui and Du Guang looked at Wang Yangming, who was elegant and unparalleled in bearing, and then at Li Huan, their eyes were full of puzzlement.

Li Huan's strength is extraordinary and refined, they have seen it before, but what's the matter with Wang Yangming, isn't this just an ordinary scholar, no matter how he listens to his adults, it seems that Wang Yangming is still a secret master ah.

Under the astonished gazes of Meng Hui and Du Guang, Wang Yangming came striding forward with fluttering clothes, and easily swept away a thief holding a long sword with a sweep of his hand, but the long sword in the thief's hand But it has already fallen into the hands of Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming laughed lightly and said: "Ever since Wang successfully practiced, he has never fought against anyone, but today he is about to kill."

Hearing this, Li Huan laughed and said: "There is a saying in Buddhism that killing is to save life. These thieves are all people with blood on their hands. They can all be killed. Mr. Yangming doesn't need to worry about it."

Wang Yangming couldn't help laughing loudly and said: "Wang is not so disturbed just to kill some thieves."

While talking, he saw Wang Yangming walking into the crowd very freely. A thief saw Wang Yangming, a scholar, walking over with a sword in hand, his eyes lit up, and he swung the knife and rushed towards Wang Yangming.

"Master Wang!"

Meng Hui and Du Guang exclaimed, instinctively wanting to save Wang Yangming, but before they could make a move, a flash of sword light flashed by, and Wang Yangming slit the thief's throat with his long sword with ease.

Accompanied by the flickering of the sword light, one after another figure just fell beside Wang Yangming, no matter if it was an ordinary thief, or a third-rate expert or even a second-rate expert, they could all be settled with a single blow in front of Wang Yangming.

When Meng Hui and Du Guang came back to their senses with shock on their faces, more than a dozen thieves had already fallen beside Wang Yangming.

Li Huan withdrew his gaze at this time, the strength shown by Wang Yangming was obviously in his expectation, it is true that this sage-like figure who can lead the army to kill the enemy and suppress the rebellion, and can govern the country and the country is powerless Rotten Confucianism.

It has to be said that Wang Yangming, who gave people the impression of being powerless, only suppressed Xue Lun, Wu Ke and others.

For a moment, these thieves leaders couldn't help but secretly complained. They thought that this mission was made by Cai Wen and Sun Wei. They didn't care much about it before, but now they realized that this is Cai Wen and Sun Wei. Wei and the others looked up to Li Huan and his party.

This simply underestimated Li Huan and the others.

The strength displayed by Li Huan alone is enough to torture and kill a few of them. At first, they thought that they could hold Li Huan back, and wait until a group of subordinates killed Jin Yiwei, and then join them together relying on the strength of their numbers to win The heap of life will also heap Li Huan to death.

Fortunately, Wang Yangming, a seemingly harmless literati, showed unfathomable strength as soon as he made a move.

Especially seeing that no matter whether it was a third-rate or a second-rate expert, they were all killed by Wang Yangming with a single sword. Xue Lun and Wu Ke kept muttering in their hearts. Take the next move.

Thinking of Li Huan smashing Xiao Mingsheng to death and Inoue Jungoro blown up with one blow, Xue Lun and Wu Ke suddenly felt that they didn't look at the almanac when they went out today, and they encountered such two strong and unreasonable monsters.

Li Huan naturally didn't know what Xue Lun and Wu Ke were thinking, but since Wang Yangming had already started to attack, he couldn't fall behind, right?

As soon as he swung the iron rod in his hand, the iron rod roared towards him. Amidst the screams and screams of the musketeers and crossbowmen, several unlucky ghosts were crushed to death on the spot.

Even Xue Lun and Wu Ke were so frightened that they dodged and almost got smashed by the iron rod.

"Shoot, shoot him to death."

Li Huan's body flickered, and he rushed towards Xue Lun, Wu Ke and others.

bang, bang, bang

The deafening sound of firecrackers sounded, and the smoke filled the air. Bullets whizzed towards Li Huan. Not only the bullets, but also the arrows shot from a crossbow. I'm afraid he will die on the spot.

When Li Huan waved the long knife in his hand, there was a clanging sound, and all the projectiles and crossbow arrows were blocked by Li Huan with the long knife.

In just a split second, Li Huan crossed a distance of several feet and rushed in front of these musketeers and crossbowmen. Immediately, the long knife was covered with blood, and various stumps and broken arms flew out. Huan was like a killing machine, clearing out the enemies within a few feet in the blink of an eye.

With Li Huan as the center, at least [-] or [-] thieves fell down on the ground. These thieves died in extremely miserable conditions, and none of them could keep their bodies.

The rest of the crossbowmen and crossbowmen were scared out of their wits long ago, screaming and throwing away the firecrackers and crossbows in their hands and hiding far away.

Li Huan only felt that the surroundings were empty, so he couldn't help but stop, looked at the terrified Xue Lun, Wu Ke and the others and said, "If you only have this strength, then you all stay here today."

At this time, Li Huan looked around, and following Wang Yangming's attack, Meng Hui and Du Guang also entered among the thieves, killing these thieves like chopping melons and vegetables, and instantly reversed the situation of Jin Yiwei being suppressed by the thieves.

From this point alone, it can be seen that in such a small-scale fight, martial arts experts can almost play a decisive role.

Just like Jin Yiwei was easily crushed by first-class experts like Xiao Mingsheng and Xue Lun before, now without such a strong man in charge, the situation that Jin Yiwei suffered before was staged on these thieves.

Meng Hui slashed a thief away with a knife, and said rather annoyed: "Now let you rebels taste what it means to treat another person in the same way."

Xue Lun and Wu Ke were not blind either, and the situation that was originally favorable to them was immediately reversed when Wang Yangming, Li Huan, Du Guang, and Meng Hui made their moves.

On the other hand, Li Huan beheaded Xiao Mingsheng and Inoue Jungoro. Even the two of them were followed by Li Huan, and they didn't dare to deal with those ordinary Jin Yiwei.

The defeat has been decided, and the two had such thoughts in their hearts.

"Let's go! Keep the green hills here so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

As thieves, they are naturally contaminated with the habits of thieves. When they were sure that they were not opponents, the two instinctively chose to save their lives.

With such a thought in their hearts, the two turned around and left.

Seeing this, Li Huan sneered and said to his back, "Bring my arrow."

A Jin Yiwei handed Li Huan the precious bow bestowed by the emperor, Li Huan bent the bow and set an arrow, the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, and the next moment, Xue Lun, who had escaped tens of feet away, was pierced through the heart by an arrow. The whole person was nailed to death under the burning gatehouse of the Green Bamboo Garden.

Hearing Xue Lun's screams, Wu Ke instinctively glanced at him, just in time to see Xue Lun who was nailed to death with an arrow through his heart. Endless fear and crisis arose in his heart, and he screamed loudly almost like a conditioned reflex: "Forgive me..."

It's a pity that before he could utter his begging for mercy, a sharp pain hit his back, and with a buzzing sound, he was nailed to death on the bluestone slab.

After Li Huan shot two arrows, he didn't look at the two of them at all. Instead, he casually threw the bow to the captain of Jin Yiwei, and then swung his knife at the thieves.

As Xue Lun, Wu Ke, Xiao Mingsheng and other bandit leaders were killed one by one by Li Huan, the morale of the bandits who had relied on momentary bravery naturally dropped, especially Xue Lun and Wu Ke who fled but were shot and killed by Li Huan on the spot That scene directly caused all the thieves to collapse.

Most of the hundreds of thieves were dead or injured, and the remaining nearly 200 people were also frightened. How could they have the intention to besiege Jin Yiwei? Right now, they only hated their parents for giving them a few legs.

After a round of pursuit, nearly a hundred thieves were left behind, but the rest of the thieves still escaped without a trace in the dark.

Amidst the crackling sound, the fire spread completely, and the entire Green Bamboo Garden fell into a sea of ​​flames.

The surviving Jin Yiwei looked at the burning Green Bamboo Garden and at the corpse of his comrade who had fallen on the ground, and the joy of killing the bandits disappeared suddenly.

At this time, Li Huan looked at Meng Hui, Du Guang, and Chen Yao, who were solemn, and said, "How about the casualties, brothers?"

Meng Hui, Du Guang and the others looked at each other, only to hear Chen Yao sigh softly: "My lord, brothers have injured 38 people and killed 72 people..."

With a click, Li Huan slapped a big tree with a slap, and even slapped the big tree in pieces.

Breathing out a turbid breath, Li Huan said: "It's my fault that I didn't expect Cai Wen to be so mad that the brothers suffered heavy casualties."

Meng Hui, Du Guang, Chen Yao and the others shook their heads and said, "I can't blame my lord for this matter, but I can only blame my lack of academic skills. I underestimated these thieves too much."

At this moment Wang Yangming glanced at Li Huan and said: "Master Li, in fact, you have tried your best. As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven, even if you count this time, Cai Wen will send people to attack and take precautions. It might not be much better than it is now.”

Li Huan naturally understood what Wang Yangming meant. After all, there were hundreds of desperadoes, especially a few first-class masters.

Even if he had made complete preparations in advance, a fight would be unavoidable, unless he had the strength to instantly kill all opponents.

It's a pity that he obviously doesn't have such ability, so as long as they fight, casualties are inevitable. It's impossible that they won't die just because they are Jin Yiwei.

Breathing out a turbid breath, a bright light flashed in Li Huan's eyes and said: "Mr. Yangming, since Cai Wen himself gave us the opportunity on his own initiative, then we will take the opportunity to take down all of his henchmen in one fell swoop."

Speaking of this, Li Huan sneered and said, "This is the murder of an imperial envoy. It's a big treason. It's a serious crime to punish the nine clans."

Originally, according to Li Huan's plan, Cai Wen and Gu Huang were taken down first, but he didn't expect Cai Wen to be so crazy, with the big hat of murdering imperial envoys, even if he cleaned up the entire Fujian officialdom, the court The officials in the hall could not say anything.

A sharp look flashed in Wang Yangming's eyes. Today's encounter obviously touched Wang Yangming deeply, so he heard Wang Yangming say: "Wang is going to take Gu Huang now."

There was a sneer on the corner of Li Huan's mouth and he said: "It's not just Gu Huang, Mr. Yangming, please wait to go to the governor's office and call all the officials in the city, but those who don't come will be punished as treason."

Wang Yangming's figure disappeared into the night after a few ups and downs.

Watching Wang Yangming go away, a cold look flashed in Li Huan's eyes, he took out a warrant and said to Meng Hui: "Meng Baihu, take my warrant and go to see the commander of the guard Dong Huan, he is the nephew of the commander Dong Cheng, Will cooperate with our actions. You tell him, let him lead me to block the four gates of Fuzhou, without my order, not even a fly can fly out of Fuzhou City, if there is resistance, shoot to kill!"

Meng Hui got the warrant, Dang even got on his horse and ran to the guard stationed outside the city.

Looking at the rest of the people, Li Huan said to Du Guang: "Du Guang, you take a dozen brothers to stay here to take care of the injured brother, and the rest follow me to see Cai Wen."

Green Bamboo Garden is the place where the imperial envoy stayed. After a welcome banquet, all the officials went back to their residences to rest. After meeting Li Huan, many officials who were originally uneasy relaxed a lot, and many of them slept for a while. sleep well.

For example, Huang Wenzheng, the magistrate of Fuzhou, is like this. Although he said that he sold favors to the Lin family first, he still has no idea.

However, after meeting Li Huan, Huang Wenzheng found out that Li Huan was not that old-fashioned and unkind person, so he was naturally very happy.

At this moment, Huang Wenzheng was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms, when suddenly there was a violent beating sound from outside the bedroom.

"My lord, my lord, get up quickly, something is wrong!"

Huang Wenzheng, whose dream was disturbed, was promoted because he hugged Li Huan's thigh in his dream, but he was woken up.

With a bit of anger, Huang Wenzheng sat up and scolded: "It's the middle of the night, what are you shouting, even if it's a big deal, can't we wait until dawn?"

The staff almost cried: "My lord, it is really a big event, you should get up quickly."

Huang Wenzheng got up reluctantly, changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom, looked at the terrified staff and asked, "What happened?"

At this moment, Huang Wenzheng was also a little worried, because he knew his staff very well, and they would not come to disturb him if it was not a big deal.

But now, it seems that his staff member has been frightened into a fool, so can what happened be small?
"The imperial envoy...the green bamboo garden where the imperial envoy stayed turned into a sea of ​​flames..."

Staggering, Huang Wenzheng felt his head explode. If the staff hadn't helped him in time, he might have been shocked and fell to the ground at this moment.

"The Green Bamboo Garden turned into a sea of ​​flames..."

Huang Wenzheng muttered in his mouth, and suddenly stretched out his chubby hand to grab the neck of the staff member, and shouted like crazy: "Who did it, who did it, the old man has no grievances with him, why do you want to entrap me like this... ..."

No wonder Huang Wenzheng reacted like this. He is the prefect of Fuzhou. If something happened to Li Huan and his party in Fuzhou City, the court officials would first blame him. Who told him to be the prefect of Fuzhou and be in charge of the Fuzhou government Everything.

The staff member's face turned blue from being pinched, and he coughed violently and said with difficulty: "My lord, things may not be as bad as my lord thinks, what if the imperial envoy is all right?"

Huang Wenzheng was stunned for a moment, a gleam of light burst out of his despairing eyes, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, the imperial envoy has so many people protecting him, how could he be killed so easily!"

As he said that, Huang Wenzheng yelled at his staff: "Hurry up, hurry up, follow me to pick up the troops, I'm going to protect the Imperial Envoy."

At this time, no one hoped that Li Huan was safe and sound more than Huang Wenzheng. If the imperial envoy Li Huan died, Huang Wenzheng would be the most suitable scapegoat.

So even if there is such a glimmer of hope, Huang Wenzheng will find a way to find Li Huan to determine whether Li Huan is alive or dead.

Soon Huang Wenzheng ordered a team of family servants, and at the same time ordered people to go to the magistrate's yamen to meet the guards.

When approaching the Green Bamboo Garden, you can see the soaring flames from a distance.

When he saw the flames illuminating half the sky, Huang Wenzheng's heart sank.

He is not a fool, if the Green Bamboo Garden is really a normal water, there are so many Jinyi guards, no matter how slow all the Jinyi guards are, it is impossible to let the fire burn to such a degree.

This clearly showed that someone set the fire on purpose, and since the fire was so large, it was conceivable that a large group of troops must have attacked the imperial envoys, which resulted in Jin Yiwei not even having time to put out the fire.

The more he thought about it, the uglier Huang Wenzheng's face became, and even Huang Wenzheng already had the most suspicious target of suspicion in his heart for doing such a crazy thing.

On the soft sedan chair, Huang Wenzheng slammed his fist on the window frame, gnashing his teeth and said: "The surname is Cai, you are a fucking lunatic..."

At this moment, a group of people suddenly approached in front of them, and the leader of the Jin Yiwei held a knife and shouted: "Who is coming!"

A group of guards couldn't help being stunned when they saw a team of Jinyiwei approaching, and suddenly the staff member exclaimed in surprise: "My lord, my lord, it's Jinyiwei, a member of Jinyiwei!"

With a thud, Huang Wenzheng, who was sitting in the sedan chair and gritted his teeth with hatred for Cai Wen, was overjoyed when he heard the shouts from his staff. In a hurry, he stepped on the air and fell to the ground with a thud, scaring the servants who followed him. one jump.

Li Huan rode on his horse and watched from a distance, and soon saw that these people should be servants of the government office and servants of which family.

There was chaos in the team, Li Huan's eyes were fixed, just in time to see a somewhat familiar official stepping out excitedly, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Li Huan couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that situation.

Huang Wenzheng didn't care about this, he just got up from the ground, no matter how embarrassed he was, he ran towards Li Huan.

Seeing Li Huan for the first time, Huang Wenzheng suddenly felt that the world was so beautiful, and finally his Huang Wenzheng family didn't have to be buried with Li Huan.

Thinking of this, Huang Wenzheng couldn't help weeping bitterly, so he lay down in front of Li Huan and cried loudly: "The Imperial Envoy is all right, God has eyes, God has eyes... woo woo woo..."

Looking at Huang Wenzheng's excited appearance, he felt that even if his parents were resurrected from the dead, he might not be so excited.

Li Huan naturally didn't know what kind of mental journey Huang Wenzheng had gone through before, but Huang Wenzheng was a magistrate after all, crying so sadly in front of him, even Li Huan was a little embarrassed.

Getting off the horse, he personally helped Huang Wenzheng up and said, "Prefect Huang, you are..."

Huang Wenzheng looked at Li Huan, made sure that Li Huan was fine, and completely let go of his heart, and then said: "Your Excellency doesn't know something. I suddenly heard that there was a fire in the Green Bamboo Garden. I was worried about your safety, and I was very anxious. Seeing adults, I was excited for a while, and I couldn't restrain my excitement, but I made adults laugh."

Li Huan couldn't help sighing when he heard the words. Although he somewhat understood why Huang Wenzheng was so concerned about his own safety, but Huang Wenzheng had such a reaction, it meant that Huang Wenzheng should be ignorant, unlike people like Cai Wen and Gu Huang. , I wish he would die immediately.

With a thought in his heart, Li Huan's face turned cold, and he said to Huang Wenzheng: "Prefect Huang, do you know that a group of thieves attacked the Green Bamboo Garden tonight, intending to assassinate the imperial envoy, and even burned the Green Bamboo Garden to white ground? The imperial envoy asked you, what on earth does your prefect do for food..."

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Huang Wenzheng's forehead, and he suddenly realized that it seemed a bit early for him to be happy. Li Huan was indeed fine, but that didn't mean he could escape responsibility.

Li Huan, an imperial envoy, was actually assassinated in Fuzhou city, he didn't blame anyone for the blame, once he was found guilty of lax punishment, even if he didn't die, he would have to shed a layer of skin.

He hasn't enjoyed enough of this glory and wealth. Thinking that he is very likely to take the blame for others, Huang Wenzheng's heart welled up, and he immediately said anxiously: "My lord, everything has nothing to do with being an official. It is Cai Wen, it must be Cai Wenzheng." .”

Hearing this, Li Huan couldn't help but looked at Huang Wenzheng in surprise, as if he didn't expect Huang Wenzheng to insist that it was Cai Wenzheng who did it.

Seemingly looking at the doubts on Li Huan's face, Huang Wenzheng was ready to go all out at this moment, and said without hesitation: "My lord, the case of Han Ling's extermination of thousands of households in Jinyiwei was the one he sent to do it. To destroy the corpses and traces of the fire, I didn't expect him to say insanely that even the imperial envoy wanted to murder, it must be him, I can assure you, Cai Wen must be the one who attacked the lord this time."

Seeing Huang Wenzheng say that Cai Wen was responsible for the case of Han Ling's extermination, Li Huan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

He knew that such a big matter could be hidden from others, but certainly Huang Wenzheng, the prefect of Fuzhou, could not be hidden from it.

If you say that Huang Wenzheng doesn't know anything, you can only say that Huang Wenzheng is a complete waste, but how can a waste become the prefect of Fuzhou.

Taking a deep breath, Li Huan looked at Huang Wenzheng who was looking at him expectantly, and said: "The imperial envoy captured several thieves alive, and they confessed that they were the ones who attacked the imperial envoy under the order of Cai Wen, the envoy of the imperial court. .”

Huang Wenzheng's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Crazy, he Cai Wen must be crazy, my lord, I am willing to go with my lord to arrest Cai Wen."
