The official road of the farmer

Ming Pengkun and his party, who are also Wang Zhigao and his yamen servants, and Haohao Tangtang also have dozens of people. They traveled for a day and rested at a place not far from Linjiang Road for a night. Just get ready to go.

This operation was under the overall command of Ming Fulai. Mingwei always only obeyed the orders of the second master. The word "obedience" was engraved in his bones. He could do whatever the master told him to do. If there was an order from the second master, he would not worry about Mingwei not obeying. He gave orders.

Ming Pengkun felt that with Mingwei around, he would not be in danger, so he was very interested and prepared to go and see it together.

When we get back to Shangjing, let's see who dares to say behind his back that he is just a licentious person!He did not lose the reputation of the Ming family, but with the reputation of personally suppressing bandits, he might be able to seize the military power that the Li family has held all year round!

Wang Zhigao saw that Second Master Ming was planning to join the team, is that okay?Busy and polite, he persuaded: "Second Master, you are precious, and it is really not suitable for you to take risks yourself. You might as well wait at the inn. It won't take long for the lower officials to remove the bandit leader's head for you!"

Ming Pengkun was full of displeasure, "Why, in your eyes, Second Master, I am a covetous person who fears death?"

"Don't dare dare!" Wang Zhigao knelt on the ground, "I don't mean to be an official, the second master is clear!" He was sweating on his forehead, and he was so anxious that the second master of the Ming family was so noble. Unexpectedly, even if he dies, he cannot escape the blame.

Ming Fulai also thinks that it is not appropriate for the second master to take risks in person, as it is easy to cause chaos on the way to suppress the bandits, if anyone is not careful and ignores the second master, then they will make a big mistake.

What's more, his initial plan was that Erye and Ming Shishi would stay at the inn, and the remaining Mingwei would follow him. They would lead Wang Zhigao and others there. No one can persuade you to do what you want to do.

In the end, Ming Pengkun led the team and headed for the Linjiang side road together.

The mountains along the Linjiang River are vast. Except for an official road that can pass through the mountains that was built after many years of manpower and material resources, the other places are rugged and steep. People in the north usually don't have people passing by.

The special geographical environment has created a situation where bandits are entrenched here, especially when the imperial court turned a blind eye. There are more than ten or twenty bandit dens, large and small, in this mountain range alone.

These bandits usually make a living by robbing passers-by.Among them, the largest and most powerful gang is Qinglongzhai.

Qinglong Village occupies the most favorable terrain. The village is built deep in the mountains. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is very hidden. If there are no acquaintances to guide the way, no one will be able to break in.

The cluttered weeds, trees and vines taller than a person moved slightly, and a small man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came out.

The short body flexibly turned left and right in the forest, and after a while, he saw a gate made of giant logs, with watchtowers on both sides.

The little man ran out quickly, and shouted familiarly to the people inside: "Come and open the door, I have something important to report to the boss, you can't afford to delay it!"

The little man didn't have to wait long before the door opened from the inside. He quickly ran in and went to the meeting hall, "The boss, the boss, the news is indeed true. There are officers and soldiers coming. Should we retreat?"

In the meeting hall, the head of Qinglongzhai was drinking with other managers for fun. Hearing the little man's words, the unshaven burly man let out a grin, gulped down a bowl of wine, and then threw it on the ground, "Retreat?"

He glared, "Are you sure it's the old man from the county next door?"

The little man replied: "Sure, that's right! It's the old man Wang in the impoverished county next door. The brothers are monitoring in the dark. The boss, how should we deal with it? Should we advance or retreat?"

"How to deal with it? Naturally, hit him hard!" A big man on the right raised his eyebrows, with a bloodthirsty smile on his lips.

The head of the family sneered, "Hmph! You want to be promoted like crazy! How dare you take us? Since you dare to stretch your hand so long, don't blame me for chopping him up!"

If it was the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court, he might still leave some insignificant bandits for the imperial court to exterminate.

But who is it this time!

Old man Wang from the impoverished county next door?Want to get credit for promotion?Did you hit him on the head?Then don't blame him for being cruel!

"Brothers! Copy guys, go out with me to teach that old man how to be a turtle!"

"Yes!"

Ming Pengkun and his party walked more and more sideways, and the mountain walls on both sides of the road were vertical and steep. Even if Ming Wei went to explore the road, they didn't see a bandit for a long time.

The yamen servants basically had no exercise. After walking for so long, they were exhausted and out of breath, especially Wang Zhigao, who was fat all over his body regardless of his age.

Going on, he died of exhaustion before he found the bandits. Wang Zhigao panted intermittently and shouted, "Second Master, Second Master..."

Ming Pengkun, who was riding a tall horse, turned his head in displeasure.

As soon as Wang Zhigao saw the response, his strength suddenly surged, and he ran to Ming Pengkun's horse in two or three steps, "Second Lord, can you take a rest, the servants are about to lose it!"

Ming Pengkun looked down at Wang Zhigao, who was covered in sweat, with cold eyes.

Considering that these people are still useful, Ming Fulai said, "Second Master, why don't we stop and check the situation first?"

Ming Pengkun snorted, but didn't say anything, Ming Fulai stopped his horse, and raised his voice, "Rest on the spot for a while!"

When the yamen servants heard this, they couldn't stand up immediately, and each found a place to sit down.

Ming Pengkun was about to dismount when a Mingwei in front suddenly shouted: "No, there is an ambush! Protect the second master!"

Ming Wei quickly moved closer to Ming Pengkun, looking around vigilantly, the horse neighed uncomfortably, and its hooves moved back and forth.

A feathered arrow shot over quickly, Ming Shixi cut it off directly, and then more arrows shot at the crowd, screaming one after another, and the whole group was in a mess.

"There is an enemy attack! Quickly pick up your weapons and fight!" Ming Fulai yelled several times, but no one listened to him, they just ran away.

Ming Fulai's face changed drastically, "Second Lord, go!"

Arrows kept coming from all directions, and Ming Pengkun's face changed a little. He quickly turned the horse's head, and slammed the horse several times, "Drive!"

The brown horse was in pain, neighing and ran forward quickly, Mingwei followed closely, protecting the surroundings.

"Kill!!! Kill!!!"

Bandits continued to pour out from all directions, and Ming Pengkun and his party were routed and fled in embarrassment without even resisting.

Wang Zhigao was terrified, and chased after him with his head in his arms, "Second Master, don't leave me! Second Master, help me!"

Ming Wei kept beheading the gangsters who kept rushing towards him, and after leaving a few people behind, Ming Shiyi escorted Ming Pengkun and left.

The two ran for a while, and the shouts of the gangsters behind them gradually disappeared and were obviously blocked.

The two horses ran quickly along the road. Suddenly, the horse's limbs seemed to be weak, and they suddenly bent and knelt down, and the two on the horse rolled off.

Ming Shiyi was very skilled, he adjusted his posture in time when he fell off the horse, so he just wiped it off, and he put his hands on the ground to help Ming Pengkun up, but before he could stand up, his whole body went limp and he almost fell to the ground again.

Ming Shishi's eyes froze, when did he get tricked?

Fortunately, he had been trained in medicine, so he quickly resisted the inexplicable drug effect and stood up. However, it was too late. The beggar-like man who had been waiting here suddenly jumped up, and rushed like a hungry wolf to a sheep. In the past, the big knife in his hand slashed fiercely at Ming Pengkun's neck.

"Second Master!"

……

"Third Young Master, Third Young Master!"

Bu Yuanhu ran upstairs with a smile all over his face while shouting, followed by his calm and self-possessed younger brother.

Outside the door of one of the Class A rooms, Xi Yuanyi was standing at the door of the corridor. Seeing such a commotion between the two brothers, he couldn't help but stare, "What are you talking about so early in the morning? Don't disturb the third son's cleanliness."

Bu Yuanhu laughed and said, "Yuanyi, you absolutely don't know what Leopard and I found out!"

Just as he was talking, the door of the room opened suddenly. Li Yu was wearing a light-colored gown with ink patterns and borders, and his black hair and jade hairpin was half up. He glanced at the noisy people at the door of his room and turned back to the room.

Xi Yuanyi glared at Bu Yuanhu again, and then followed into the room.

Bu Yuanhu and his brothers hurriedly followed and closed the door behind them.

Li Yu sat on the table and chairs in the outer room, "What did you hear?"

Bu Yuanbao took a step forward and replied, "My subordinates went to the Linfeng county government office overnight to investigate, and it is true that someone deliberately suppressed the news. The people of Linfeng County were silent about the murder of bandits on the Linjiang side road, obviously a gag order was issued... ...My subordinates also found something in the county magistrate's mansion, please take a look."

Li Yu took the object, opened it and browsed through it. These were letters between officials and bandits, but they avoided some conspicuous words, so they were of little use.

"From my subordinate's point of view, the reason why the bandits are so rampant must be the shadow of the Ming family behind them. A large part of the money and goods they robbed are missing. The letter is not enough to be used as real evidence, if the Ming family finds a dead ghost to come out, we still have nothing to do."

The Ming family's forces were intertwined and deeply rooted. Li Yu didn't expect to bring down the Ming family so easily, but it was enough to make them hurt for a long time if they could bite off a piece of meat.

What's more, the gangsters are rampant, and the people who are more affected are the common people. Since they have encountered them, no matter what, these gangsters must be wiped out.

"My subordinates also found out that the magistrate of Fengcheng County, which we passed by yesterday, led the yamen servants to suppress the bandits today."

When Li Yu heard this, he frowned slightly. Before he had found out the details of the bandits, it was not wise to confront them rashly. Besides, how could the magistrate of the neighboring county go to suppress the bandits without an order? ?

Li Yu was still puzzled, but Bu Yuanhu couldn't help but blushed, "Third son... Puff! You must not guess that among the people who went to suppress the bandits, Ming Er was also there hahaha..."

"Pfft!" Xi Yuanyi had just poured a glass of water and drank it while listening, when he heard Bu Yuanhu's words, he couldn't hold back a mouthful of water, coughed several times, and couldn't help saying, "Are you sure you read it right?"

Ming Er went to fight the bandits who provided money for their family?Are you sure it's not a joke?

"Absolutely! I didn't expect Ming Er's scum to hide here!" Bu Yuanhu said angrily, "The Ming family has a hand in sending people here quietly, no wonder they searched everywhere for trouble in Shangjing not!"

Since that incident, there has been a surge of wind and clouds in Shangjing, and all forces have stretched out their claws to get involved. It was not until the next year that the delicate balance was maintained. The culprit suddenly disappeared in Shangjing. The Ming family said that they rushed to the countryside to think about their mistakes. It happened, but they had no way of knowing where it was, and who knew they would meet them!

Xi Yuanyi rubbed his chin, and laughed a few times inexplicably, "As expected of a debaucher who doesn't hear what's going on outside the window and only cares about women, he doesn't recognize his own family when he gets to his house, and even shouts and kills him." Really. Happy to hear and see, it's best to fight to the death, they go to reap the benefits of the fisherman, haha!

"Third Young Master, what do you think we should do?" Xi Yuanyi asked, "Are we going to the magistrate of Linfeng County to ask for soldiers?" "

Li Yu coughed lightly, and said solemnly, "No need, since the county magistrate is from the Ming family, if we go there rashly, we will definitely startle the snake. There are brave generals from Fengcheng County here, so don't worry too much, let's check the situation first Say it again."

"Yes."

The three of Xi Yuanyi were shocked when they heard the words, and they couldn't wait to go to the theater... Well, let's inquire about the situation.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Xi Yuanyi: The third son and I are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts~

Bu Yuanhu: I am the close bodyguard of the third son~
