Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 100 The Tao Family Suffered

On the grounds of the Fancheng military camp, Liu Jing galloped on his horse. Every few tens of steps, an arrow was shot out, and a straw man stood sixty steps away.

Liu Jing has been practicing for nearly an hour and has shot more than [-] arrows. His arms are so tired that he can hardly draw the bow anymore.

But the effect was not very good, only ten of the more than sixty arrows hit the grass man, and all the others flew. This result made Liu Jing a little frustrated.

At this time, a soldier who fetched arrows for him persuaded: "Jun Hou, you are a little too anxious, you will shoot steadily, and you will hit."

Liu Jing sighed, he didn't understand that he was shooting too fast, but Huang Zhong ordered him to shoot two hundred arrows a day, according to the current speed, it would take at least four hours to finish shooting, he doubted whether he could complete this target.

If it is a step bow, it may be possible to shoot one arrow after another, but riding a bow is different. Just balancing the body requires physical strength and energy. Shooting each arrow is a very difficult task.

To complete the task of two hundred arrows, one must work harder, Liu Jing was deeply touched at this time, Huang Zhong seemed gentle, but in fact he was extremely stern.

However, to Liu Jing's satisfaction, he found that his horse control skills have improved rapidly, which is also his weakness. Now he has only shot more than [-] arrows, and his horse's balance ability has greatly improved. If he continues to practice like this After three months, he will also become a master of horse control.

The practice has gained and improved, which can inspire people's fighting spirit even more. After a short rest, Liu Jing ordered to the soldiers: "Bring me two more pots of arrows!"

On the school field, Liu Jing started a new round of archery again. At noon, Liu Jing felt that her arm was completely numb, even the soreness disappeared, and she didn't feel any sensation.

He has shot a hundred arrows, and he is still halfway through today's task.

Liu Jing got off his horse and walked towards his official room. At this moment, a soldier rushed to report, "I want to report to the Marquis, a woman named Tao came from outside the camp and said that she has something urgent to see."

. . . . . . . . .

The woman surnamed Tao can only be Tao Zhan. I wonder what is urgent for her?Liu Jing didn't have time to think, and walked quickly outside the barracks.

Walking out of the barracks, I saw a young girl flashing out from behind a big tree more than a dozen steps away. It was Tao Zhan, and she rushed towards her with panic on her face.

"Young master!" she yelled in a low voice, her voice was very nervous.

Liu Jing didn't see her carriage, and felt a little strange. He felt Tao Zhan's panic again, and asked quickly, "What happened?"

"My lord, help me, Tao's firm...something happened."

Liu Jing was stunned, and turned his head to look towards the street. From here, he could faintly see Dow's Firm, and he saw a large group of soldiers over there.

He nodded, "Come home with me first, we'll talk when we go back."

Like a frightened deer, Tao Zhan followed Liu Jing closely. Soldiers like tigers rushed into Tao's business, which made her linger in fear. Every soldier running past her made her feel nervous, as if They were all here to catch her, and she couldn't help but take Liu Jing's strong arm.

Only in this way can she get a little sense of security.

Not long after, they returned to Liu Jing's small courtyard. With the sound of closing the door, Tao Zhan heaved a long sigh of relief. Liu Jing patted her hand and comforted her with a smile.

Only then did Tao Zhan realize that he was still holding Liu Jing's arm, she was so frightened that she pulled her hand away, her pretty face suddenly flushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Go to my study and talk!"

Liu Jing felt that Tao Zhan's lingering fear was still there, and his body was still shaking slightly, so he quickly ordered Xiao Baozi, "Little Baozi, pour me a glass of wine."

In the study room, Tao Zhan sat down, took a sip of wine slowly with an earcup in his hand, and gradually calmed down.

"Thanks, I'm much better."

Tao Zhan was grateful in his heart, if Liu Jing hadn't helped her, she really didn't know where to go now?She remembered that her second uncle had been kidnapped by Wuhuada, her eyes turned red, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Tell me, what happened?" Liu Jing asked in a deep voice while watching her.

Tao Zhan restrained his emotions, and said with a red nose, "I don't know what happened. Just now, a large group of soldiers rushed into the business, saying that we were smuggling contraband, and arrested the second uncle and all the managers. Yes, I... just came back from buying makeup, and saw them arresting people across the street..."

Tao Zhan's voice was trembling, and finally he couldn't help crying softly. Liu Jing thought for a moment, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, after all, Tao's family is the state shepherd's honored guest, and the army is afraid to do anything to him. .”

Tao Zhan wiped away his tears with a towel, and looked at Liu Jing with red eyes, "Can you help me, my lord?"

Liu Jing nodded silently. He stood up and told Xiao Baozi, "Take good care of Miss Tao."

The little bun nodded quickly, "Young master, don't worry!"

Liu Jing glanced at Tao Zhan again, turned around and strode away. Tao Zhan watched him walk away with only an indescribable gratitude in his heart.

. . . . . . . .

When Liu Jing walked to the gate of the city, Zhuang Zhong, the head of the village on duty, hurriedly greeted him, and bowed to salute, "Please order, the Marquis!"

"What's going on today, so many soldiers entered the city to arrest people?"

Zhuang Zhong curled his lips contemptuously, "They are all sailors. I heard that the Tao family seems to be trafficking in some prohibited items. I don't know the specific position."

"Navy?"

Liu Jing was extremely sensitive, he immediately thought of Zhang Yun, could it be related to Zhang Yun again?

He pondered for a moment, first of all he had to clarify the situation, he thought of Li Jun, did he have any news?

Liu Jing went back to the barracks to get the horse, got on the horse, and ran to the Youjiao. As soon as he left the city gate, he saw Li Jun galloping towards him on horseback. Liu Jing quickly grabbed the reins.

"My lord, I'm going to find you!" Li Jun said anxiously.

Liu Jing pointed to the forest in the distance, "Go over there and talk."

When the two came to a secluded place in the woods, Li Jun said in a low voice: "My lord, the matter is getting serious."

"Don't worry, speak slowly."

"About midnight last night, Jiang Ducao, who had never been out of the river, took a group of brothers out of the river, and finally captured the Tao family's fleet, and found two hundred military crossbows and one thousand swords from the fleet. , Zhang Yun led the naval patrols to arrive in time, and detained the people and ships."

"What a coincidence!"

Liu Jing sneered, and asked again: "Are these fifty ships the Tao family's missing fleet?"

"I don't know about this, anyway, the people and boats are in the water village."

Liu Jing pondered for a while and asked again: "What is the crime of smuggling two hundred military crossbows and one thousand swords?"

Li Jun shook his head and smiled wryly, "According to the laws of Jingzhou, those who privately sell five crossbows will be exiled for thousands of miles, those who sell ten crossbows will be beheaded, and those who sell more than a hundred crossbows will be executed by their families!"

Liu Jing's heart sank. It was obvious that Zhang Yun was going to attack the Tao family. The situation was urgent and he had to rescue immediately.

"Thank you!"

Liu Jing turned his horse's head to leave, Li Jun called to stop Liu Jing again, "Young Master Jing, I have friends in the navy prison, maybe I can deliver some news for you."

"Then I will thank you brother Li, thank you later!"

Liu Jing clasped his fists and cupped his hands, and urged the horse to gallop towards the pier. Li Jun watched Liu Jing go away, and couldn't help but sighed. In fact, he liked Liu Jing very much, and he really didn't want to be his subordinate.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Tao Li, the second head of Dow's commercial firm, and a dozen or so stewards were tied up and taken into the Navy Dazhai, ten miles east of Xiangyang City.

More than a dozen people were taken directly to the military prison, while Tao Li was taken to Zhang Yun's big tent. Tao Li is the younger brother of the head of the family, Tao Sheng, and an important figure in the Tao family. He is about 50 years old and of medium build. He has big ears, fair skin, and a dignified appearance.

This time he brought his niece Tao Zhan to Xiangyang to investigate the disappearance of fifty merchant ships. Unexpectedly, he had just arrived one day before he could find out what happened, the Tao family committed a crime, and the army directly arrested him.

"You bastards, untie me!"

Taoli yelled and cursed, and a soldier kicked him.Push him viciously into the big tent.

Zhang Yun was sitting in the big tent, with a half-smile on his face, and an indescribable complacency in his eyes, "Does the second proprietor still know me?"

"It's you!"

Tao Li knew Zhang Yun, and he and the Patriarch made a special trip to visit the navy captain the year before last.

"It turned out to be Captain Zhang. Could it be that you arrested me?"

Zhang Yun waved his hand and ordered everyone to back down, then said with a faint smile: "The second proprietor didn't know why he was arrested! Then let me tell you, we found two hundred military crossbows and A thousand swords, do you know what crime this is?"

Tao Li was furious, and roared: "You spout blood, my Tao family has been in business for 50 years, when did you traffic in weapons?"

"It's just that the Tao family was not caught."

Zhang Yun smiled coldly, and took a stack of statements from the table, "This is the statement of the crew on the ship, including Zhang Xian, the steward of the Tao family. He has admitted that the Tao family arranged for the trafficking of contraband. There are all personal and material evidence. It's up to you." Don't admit it."

"Zhang Xian?"

Tao Li was taken aback, didn't Zhang Xian disappear for half a month?When he thought about it, he immediately understood what was happening. Looking at Zhang Yun's smug face, Tao Li sneered, "If I'm not wrong, this is the game you set up!"

Zhang Yun laughed, and gave a thumbs up in praise: "As expected of an old Jianghu, he really reacted quickly. Yes, I set up the trap. I robbed the fifty cargo ships of the Tao family, and I also put the knives and crossbows in the hold. , but... your people have already pleaded guilty, and soon your stewards will also plead guilty, including you, and they will obediently press their fingerprints under the stick. robbery?"

A word popped out of Tao Li's lips for a while, "Very despicable and shameless, hum! What exactly do you want?"

Zhang Yun approached his face, squinted his eyes and said: "Such a smart second boss, would he still ask such a stupid question?"

"You want money?" Tao Li understood what he meant.

"That's right!"

Zhang Yun nodded, and said slowly: "Ming people don't talk dark words, I want 2 taels of gold, 1 taels will be paid first, and the other 1 taels will be paid within one year. This is my condition."

Tao Li pouted heavily, "You are dreaming!"

Zhang Yun approached his ear, and said with a low laugh: "I'm arresting your niece now, do you know what will happen to her if she goes to prison and falls into the hands of those wolf-like jailers? I think that You quickly agreed."

Zhang Yun snorted and waved his hand, "Put him in prison and make him confess!"

Several soldiers rushed into the tent and pushed Tao Li out viciously. Zhang Yun pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and shouted, "Come on!"

A personal soldier rushed in, Zhang Yunling said: "Go and tell the prison chief, I must kill Wang Cheng and Zhao Yong, and say that they committed suicide in fear of crime!"
