Chapter 545: Deathly Counterattack, Imperial Guards Arrive in Yangzhou
"You evil dog!!"
"Long Feng, you evil dog!"
"If my daughter Yayun knew that I died in your hands, you can expect her to take revenge on you!"
"My daughter Yayun listens to me the most. She will definitely chop you, the vicious dog, to death!"
Ge Tianba roared angrily, unwilling to let his life end in this small woods.
"You have caused so much trouble for your daughter, but you don't even realize it, and you're still barking here."
"Who do you think you are? What do you think you can do? Do you think your little kindness to Yun Gu will be of any use? Do you think you can still live today?"
Long Feng held the scabbard of the Iron Immortal Sword in his left hand and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the Iron Immortal Sword.
"You are a damned fool. You are a pest that only knows how to bring disaster. You really deserve to die!"
"Brothers, come on!"
After talking nonsense, Long Feng naturally has to get down to work.
Hu Yun led the brothers from the second hall forward, pressing Ge Tianba and the second owner of the manor step by step.
At this moment, people kept jumping out from the darkness behind Ge Tianba.
A group of Wohu Manor servants, led by the third owner of Wohu Manor, armed with swords, confronted the second hall of the Iron Hand Group.
Ge Tianba smiled complacently, looked back at his brothers behind him, and said leisurely:
"You idiots, as stupid as Yuan Qi, do you really think I'm unintelligent?"
"I never thought you would send someone to rob and kill me?"
"Hehe, even if you are skilled in martial arts, it doesn't matter. We have more people and can crush you to death."
"Brothers of Crouching Tiger Village, tell these frogs in the well of the Iron Hand Group what our Crouching Tiger Village's slogan is!"
The second village owner yelled in a hoarse voice: "Crouching Tiger Village..."
The servants of Crouching Tiger Village behind him all shouted, "Zhan Wudi!"
"Crouching Tiger Village!"
"Invincible in battle!"
"Crouching Tiger Village!"
"Invincible in battle!"
With the servants' shouts of "Zhan Invincible" still filling his ears, Ge Tianba turned around and looked at Long Feng, full of provocation.
"What can you do to me?"
"Ah? Long Feng, what can you do to me?"
"Let alone you, even if Yuan Qi came, what can he do to me, Ge Tianba?"
"We in Crouching Tiger Village are invincible!"
"What can your Iron Hand Group do to us?"
Long Feng and Hu Yun looked at each other. They no longer treated these idiots in Wohu Village as normal people.
After all, they are just a bunch of idiots, how can they be normal people?
If he were a normal person, he would not actively attack his master, let alone want to turn against him.
If they were normal people, they would not take the slogans they shouted as facts.
Just shout something like “Crouching Tiger Village, invincible battle”, who the hell made you guys take it seriously?
"I can only say that it was the right choice for Yun Gu to leave this group of people."
"Yeah, that's right. If you stay with them for too long, Yun Gu will be stupid to death sooner or later."
Long Feng and Hu Yun were both glad that Yun Gu left early and no longer wanted to waste time here with Ge Tianba.
"Brother, let's get started quickly, otherwise I'm afraid they will tell some hilarious jokes."
"Okay, then you lead your brothers to kill them. I won't go any further."
"Oh... yeah, I remember you seemed to faint at the sight of blood, so let me do it then."
"Junior brother, you are really becoming more and more sensible."
"It's all because of you, Senior Brother, who taught me well. Otherwise, how could I be so sensible?"
"You are so sensible, Junior Brother. I will turn my back and listen to your good news."
After Long Feng finished speaking, he actually turned his back.
"Kill!" Hu Yun waved his hand.
……
After dawn, outside the city of Yangzhou, passers-by discovered a large bloodstain on the ground.
They panicked and reported to the police, who worked all day long, but the officials still could not find the source of the bloodstains.
In the end, the matter was suppressed according to the advice of Cui Liang, the governor of Yangzhou, as if it had never happened.
……
More than ten days passed in a flash, and the turbulent Yangzhou suddenly calmed down.
The trackers received their pay for protecting the canal and worked diligently.
All the officials in Yangzhou have been taken care of to ensure that these people will not talk nonsense.
A large amount of official salt appeared in the counties of Huaibei. The people in the counties that were short of salt got to eat the long-lost salt and stopped making trouble.
Everywhere in Yangzhou is a scene of prosperity.
This quiet and peaceful atmosphere was finally broken.
The salt transport fleet of the Jianghuai Transport Commission arrived as scheduled and docked at the pier outside Yangzhou City.
Arriving in Yangzhou along with the official salt-carrying ship were the imperial envoy's guards and some officials who assisted the imperial envoy.
The new Shangshu Zuocheng Mi Qing walked out of the cabin. He was in high spirits. He was only thirty-six years old, but he had already been ranked Shangshu Zuocheng. He strode forward with his head held high, full of pride and satisfaction.
"I am waiting to see you, sir."
Yangzhou Governor Cui Liang, Chief Clerk Wu Wendeng and Grain Transport Commissioner Yang Jiuchen stood together and saluted Mi Qing together.
"I am Mi Qing, the Minister of the Left, and I have come to Yangzhou by imperial decree to assist His Royal Highness Duke Qin in investigating the Han Canal boat capsize case."
Mi Qing bowed his hands diagonally towards the sky, intending to show respect to His Majesty and also to use the emperor to suppress these local tyrants.
Mi Qing, who had been a local tyrant for several years, knew very well what kind of people these people were and that they must be suppressed severely.
Cui Liang, Wu Wendeng and others looked at each other, and dared not act rashly. They lowered their heads and dared not speak.
"I will be staying on the official ship these days, so you don't have to come visit me so often. After all, I have to accompany His Royal Highness Duke Qin to investigate a case."
"Yes, yes, I understand."
"Move the official salt from the salt ship down. There can't be any more mistakes."
"Yes."
……
After working until dark, Mi Qing returned to the cabin and sat down slowly.
Opposite him, a young man was playing chess alone with a box of chess pieces on his left hand and another box of chess pieces on his right hand.
No matter whether the pieces are black or white on the chessboard, they can never form a row of five. At most, they can form four, and then they are blocked.
This game of chess has been played for a long time, and most of the board is occupied by chess pieces. It is extremely difficult for any kind of chess piece to win.
The young man played chess alone, and instead of feeling bored, he seemed to enjoy it. He often bent over, often stood upright, perhaps frowning in thought, or perhaps smiling with satisfaction.
Finally, the entire chessboard was filled, and he leaned back and yawned.
He is tired.
Mi Qing noticed that the young man had stopped, so he asked, "Ask the people below to bring some food. You must be hungry."
"Okay, brother."
The young man pushed away the chess pot, smiling widely.
This young man was none other than Wu Yanhao, who had been with Li Cunxi a few days ago. He put away his things with a smile and prepared to eat.
“Cunxi asked you to follow me here in order to give these people the illusion that he was on the boat?”
"Yeah, that's exactly what happened. I can confuse those people better if I come here."
