Chapter 23 The fugitives
"Little thief, is this girl powerful?" Li Yishan proudly showed off his power to Du Wenxing.
Seeing Du Wenxing running again, he waved to himself desperately and also waved his hand with a smile.
"Is this woman stupid?"
"Idiot, hide quickly, someone is coming to you again." He shouted in a hurry.
He didn't realize that, without realizing it, Li Yishan had already occupied an important position in his heart.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid!"
Li Yishan, who looked back at the four black-clad gangsters who rushed out again, looked inexplicably happy. Does this little thief care about me?
"Look at the fight!"
Facing the man in black, Li Yishan waved her hands at the same time, and two more "black rain" shot out, which was wider than before.
The prepared bandits dodged while swinging their swords to block them.
Dingding Dingding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
The black needle fell like rain.
Before the four black-clothed bandits could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard two bangs and two more black rains came towards them.
"What, I'm still having a continuous sending?"
The black-clad bandit and Du Wenxing wondered the same idea, but they were in completely different moods.
The four black-clad bandits were all desperate because they couldn't escape, while Du Wenxing relaxed and thought to himself: No wonder the people of the Li family were not in a hurry at all.
At this time, a messy footsteps came with a shout, and it was the soldiers and the constable who arrived.
Now the Li family members were very energetic, and the black-clad bandits began to panic.
Under the suppression of the cloaked man and the black-faced man, Hong Taishan struggled to support him, but his Five Tigers Breaking Sword Technique had already been perfect. Although he was at a disadvantage, his defense was not leaking, and these two people could not take it down for a while.
Seeing that the reinforcements from the other side had arrived, the cloaked man shouted coldly, "Don't be in love with the battle, let's go."
After saying that, Huhu grabbed two claws and attacked Hong Taishan's head and heart. The black-faced man took the opportunity to escape and began to rescue the other black-clothed bandits.
The Li family was already on the weak side, and the bandits had the help of the black-faced man, a powerful helper. Soon, the black-clothed bandits took off one by one and ran towards the canal.
"Don't chase the defeated enemy."
Hong Taishan stopped the servants who were about to pursue him, and he was a little hesitant and a little solemn.
The cloaked man escaped one by one after another, and he also attacked and flew away with two moves. This man's body technique was too fast and Hong Taishan could not catch up, so he dared not chase him.
The strength of these bandits was beyond his expectations.
The Li family's servants did not pursue them, but the soldiers and constables later had to pursue them. It was their duty to arrest the bandits.
"Uncle Hong, do you want to watch these guys escape?" Li Yishan said unhappily.
"Of course not, don't worry, Miss, these bandits can't escape." Hong Taishan looked at Li Yishan with a smile. During the fight just now, he put a soul-chasing fragrance on the black-faced man, and he could not escape the smell of his little pet within ten miles.
As for what is that little pet?
Just heard Hong Taishan whistle, and a small head suddenly came out of a cloth bag hanging on the horse. It was furry and a bit like a mouse, but it was bigger, with less pointed mouth and round eyes, very clever.
Du Wenxing, who walked towards Li Yishan, was stunned. What's this thing?
Just now, my head seemed to be leaning against the cloth bag, and I didn't find a living thing hidden inside.
"Oh, Uncle Hong, you brought Xiao Diao out too, hehe, Xiaobai, come here quickly." Li Yishan waved to the little head.
A small white marten came out of the cloth bag, ignored Li Yishan's greeting, and suddenly slid into Hong Taishan's arms.
"Hmph, stinky marten." Li Yishan pouted.
Seeing this, Hong Taishan patted the ferret that had climbed onto his shoulder and made a few gestures.
The ferret rushed down from his shoulders, jumped onto Li Yishan's body in a few seconds, arched his head, and found a comfortable and soft place to lie down.
"Miss, you can play with Xiao Diao for a while, I'll call someone."
Hong Taishan felt that it was impossible to take down these bandits, especially the cloaked man, with the servants and constables like Li family members and constables.
This person has great light skills. If he wants to escape, no one can stop him here.
Taizhou is a big city in Jiangnan. It has been peaceful for a long time. The army neglects training and has extremely poor combat effectiveness.
There are also these constables, it’s okay to catch the little thieves. If you deal with these thieves, you can only deliver food!
Therefore, to catch these bandits, it depends on the Li family itself.
He said he was going to call someone, but Hong Taishan did not really run back to the Li family, but took out a metal cylinder with an inch diameter and a half foot long from his arms.
He twisted his hands gently, and a ray of black smoke soared into the sky and rushed to a height of more than ten meters.
Taizhou City, the Li family mansion, in a small building.
This small building is very simple. It is called a small building, but it is actually more like a bunker.
There are people inside to observe the movements and stills around them for twelve hours a day.
These observers were deliberately selected, with excellent eyesight and strong observation skills.
The black smoke rose into the sky and was immediately seen.
After a while, another team of twenty-person horses in the Li family galloped out of the mansion and ran out of the city.
On the city wall, a pair of eyes looked at the movements of the Li family.
"Sir, these servants of the Li family are very powerful. It seems that the officials should have been trained by military methods. Will there be any problem?"
The person who spoke was Wei Yiqing, and a man in his fifties standing beside him had a round face and a slightly fat face, looking harmonious. He was Wu Yuan, the governor of Taizhou.
Wu Yuan nodded when he heard this, but sighed again and said, "I also know that the Li family is powerful and has exceeded the scope of ordinary families, but in this Taizhou City...ah!"
Wei Yiqing understood Wu Yuan's difficulties. Although he had just come to Taizhou City to take office, he also deeply felt the power of the Li family and the powerful network of relationships that had been tangled in this Taizhou City.
Wei Yiqing was promoted to Taizhou magistrate with a mission to clean up the salt administration, and the Li family was the largest salt dealer in Taizhou.
The eight major salt merchants in Taizhou were led by the Li family.
The system of the salt administration of Taizhou Prefecture in the Great Zhou Dynasty was different from other places. The salt administration issued a total of 309,819 salt administration, but these salt administration did not change forever.
These more than 300,000 salt inlets have a ten-year deadline and will be re-sold every ten years.
Of course, because these salts have different release dates, the dates of the deadline are different.
It is roughly divided into three batches, each batch of about 100,000 in quantity.
Don’t underestimate these salt quotations, each of these represents a white silver.
