Chapter 299: The old local bosses in Yuncheng are courting their own death (5)
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!
I...I have important...important intelligence to report to Master Shi!"
The head of the Shi family, who was held at knifepoint by the yamen runners, lost his composure and momentum.
I started to beg for mercy humbly~
"What important information?
Did you collude with the Liangshan bandits to rob the Ximen family's grain transport team from Qinghe County to our Yuncheng on the wild road tonight? "
At this time, Zhu Tong, who had just finished chopping someone down, walked over.
"Eh?!" Patriarch Shi's eyes widened upon hearing this, "You...how did you..."
"How should I know?" Zhu Tong glanced at the head of the Shi family with disdain and said jokingly,
"Some of the minions you stationed in Yuncheng are much more aware of current affairs than you are! They have already confessed everything!
Take it down! "
As he said that, Zhu Tong waved his hands, and the yamen runners dragged away the Shi family patriarch who was shouting like a pig being slaughtered...
.........
At almost the same time, the grain team set up camp between Yuncheng and Qinghe County.
The lights were bright, and a group of men armed with knives and axes surrounded the grain carts and the grain team in three circles inside and three circles outside.
The grain team's guards, fully armed and equipped, were also in battle formation, tightly protecting the grain carts and ready for battle!
"Lei Dutou! There will be a big flood this year!
Our trip is just to borrow some food and supplies to help the poor people suffering around Liangshan!
By the way, give your brothers a treat!
For the sake of the disaster victims, can you please give us a few truckloads of food?"
At this time, a particularly tall man among the men with swords and axes shouted at the grain team.
"Second Village Leader Du, we understand that you want to help the people in Liangshan Lake who have been affected by the disaster!
But...we also have the disaster-stricken people in Yuncheng to take care of!
Besides...this food belongs to my master, Ximen Xianren. How dare I make the decision on my own?
If the people of Liangshan Lake are really in trouble... the second leader of the Du family might as well ask the brothers of Liangshan to make way for them.
When I returned to Yuncheng, I explained the situation to my master.
Who knows, my master might find a way to help the people of Liangshanpo!"
Lei Heng then replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hehe~ Immortal Ximen?
It sounds nice~
A landowner, who somehow got some magical skills, dares to call himself an immortal?
He also tricked you, Lei Dutou, into becoming his disciple?
It’s so funny~”
Then, among the group of men with swords and axes, a man riding a horse and wearing a white scholar's uniform spoke in a sour and sarcastic tone.
As soon as he said this, Lei Heng and Gongsun Sheng, who was sitting on the grain cart, blushed a little!
If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!
Why dare to scold their master when there are so many people to scold?!
Can't stand it!
However, just when Lei Heng and Gongsun Sheng didn't want to pretend anymore and decided to flip the table,
The sound of horse hooves, "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," suddenly came from far away!
Then, a bearded, extremely muscular man on horseback appeared.
A strong man with red hair and beard came with a group of militiamen holding knives and forks.
And surrounded the group of Liangshan's swordsmen and axemen!
"Huh?! Who is coming?!" The scholar in white was a little panicked when he saw the situation.
"Chao Gai, the village chief of Dongxi Village in Yuncheng!
With his subordinate Red-haired Ghost Liu Tang, and 800 Zhuang Yong and civilians,
I have come to pick up Lei Dutou specially! ! "
The burly man on horseback immediately announced his name and purpose!
"Ok?"
This time, not only the people of Liangshan felt a little panicked.
Even Gongsun Sheng and Lei Heng felt a little surprised!
Yes, Jiang You had already told them that someone might rob the food.
But we just let them kill the robbers themselves!
After all, after reaping the benefits, Lei Heng and Gongsun Sheng’s combat power increased greatly, making it basically impossible for them to fall victim to the robbers!
In addition, Jiang You was not afraid that it was the people from the 108 constellations in Liangshan who came to rob the food, but was killed by Lei Heng and Gongsun Sheng instead.
Because his side quest is: "Influence the fate of at least 10 Tiangang and Disha stars in this world" ~
It is not necessary to recruit them as your subordinates!
So if you don't like someone, killing them will have the same effect~
Jiang You had already confirmed this with the system~
But Jiang You didn't tell Lei Heng and Gongsun Sheng that someone would come to pick them up!
Therefore, Lei Heng and Gongsun Sheng would feel a little surprised at this time!
In fact, this connection was not arranged by Jiang You!
Rather, Chao Gai and Liu Tang wanted to get to know "Xi Men Qing", so they came up with this idea on the spur of the moment!
Yes, Chao Gai and Liu Tang want to get to know "Xi Men Qing"!
Because of Ximen Qing's immortal reputation and great good deeds, this period of time really shocked Yuncheng and the entire surrounding area!
His financial resources are so strong that people are surprised, and his good behavior is admirable!
Therefore, who among the prominent figures in the nearby martial arts world would not want to be close to this wealthy and famous immortal?
Therefore, Chao Gai had long wanted to make friends with "Ximen Immortal".
However, although he has some strength and fame now, he is not particularly prominent.
So he was afraid that if he went to visit, "Immortal Ximen" would just treat him as an ordinary visitor and send him away!
There's no point in going there!
Therefore, he has been thinking about how to make Ximen Xianren impressed with him!
Coincidentally, a wanderer named Liu Tang recently came to him for help and brought him some valuable gossip!
One of them is that Liangshanpo recently intended to hijack Ximen family’s grain transport team!
So regardless of whether it was true or not, Chao Gai, under the instigation of Liu Tang, took his men to wait on the road that the transport team had to take to Yuncheng, hoping to try his luck.
Let’s see if we can establish this favor with “Xi Men Qing”!
So, after waiting for a few days, he finally got the favor!
Besides, in the original work, Liu Tang went through a lot of twists and turns, especially being caught as a thief by Lei Heng, before he successfully surrendered to Chao Gai.
But in this world, Lei Heng went to deliver rice to Jiang You and had no chance to run into Liu Tang, so Liu Tang successfully surrendered to Chao Gai!
In addition, Liu Tang had heard of Ximen Qing's great name and wanted to join Ximen's mansion.
But he is afraid that he has no reputation and people don’t want him!
That's why he first surrendered to Chao Gai, hoping to enter Ximen Mansion in a roundabout way!
So it was Liu Tang who first proposed to Chao Gai to come and support Ximen’s grain team!
"Chao Baozheng! It's not very kind of you to do this!"
As for the second leader of the Du Village, even though he knew that the situation on his side was not very good, he still gritted his teeth and wanted to get back at his enemies!
"Second Village Leader Du! Are you being kind when you rob food on the way?!
That's food and fodder to help the disaster victims around Yuncheng!
You guys from Liangshan, you did such a shameless thing, don't you feel guilty? ! "
Liu Tang immediately challenged the leader of the Liangshan bandits.
"You! You...Okay! I'll make you cruel this time!
Let’s retreat!!”
The scholar in white became furious upon hearing this!
So he got angry and got angry.
Then he pulled the reins of his horse and was about to take his men away!
"Humph! It's not that easy to just come and go as you please!"
On the other side, a stern look flashed in Gongsun Sheng and Lei Heng's eyes!
He would not let someone who cursed his master leave so easily!
