That night, the wind and snow were extremely heavy, and they could not see the road clearly. Wu Baotou and Song Baotou were very nervous, and kept telling everyone to stay alert, be careful, and persist until dawn, so that they could reach Bazhou City.

They were able to make a deal. However, when their team climbed up a big mountain along the winding, narrow official road full of ice and snow, a masked bandit wearing black clothes and black scarf appeared in the wind and snow.

Although there are only a dozen bandits, they are all very skilled, especially the leader, an old man with triangular eyes, who can do anything with his simple sword. Wu Baotou and Song Baotou are no match for him together.

Both of them failed. In addition, the mountain road was winding, and their team could only move in a long line. After encountering the enemy, they could not form an encirclement. Therefore, they could not take advantage of their large numbers, and the blizzard also blocked their sight.

The bandits concentrated their efforts on raiding their central part. When people behind them knew what had happened, the policemen who were escorting the tax bank and the prison van had already been killed by these bandits. Fortunately, these bandits did not seem to want to harm their lives.

There was no one killed in the whole place.

After seeing that his companions had hijacked several boxes of money, the old man left the battle group and calmly retreated into the blizzard.

Wu Captou and Song Captou knew that they were showing mercy and did not dare to pursue them. Even if they pursued them, their lives would be in vain. They hurriedly counted the losses. After seeing this, they couldn't help but complain. Several large boxes of money had been robbed. The criminals

Both Capt. Ding and Lai Yuanwai were killed in the prison car!

These people only robbed taxes, so why did they kill the prisoners instead of rescuing them?

Wu Baotou and Song Baotou felt cold, how could they explain this to the county magistrate?

Even if you can't explain it, you have to explain it, and you have no choice but to pool money together. However, even if everyone in the yamen pools money for this huge sum, it will only be a drop in the bucket, because most of the people in the yamen are poor, and they are still struggling to support their families.

Where can I get any money?

With a heavy heart, Capt. Wu untied one of the horses from the prison cart, rode it himself, and braved the wind and snow to rush back to Yinling County to report. Capt. Song brought the prisoner's body with him, as well as the injured Zaoli, Capt. Kuai Minzhuang and others.

We continued to rush to Bazhou in the snow and wind. We had to urgently report the matter of someone hijacking the prison car and collecting taxes to the Bazhou magistrate so that we could apprehend the culprit and treat our injured brother at the same time.

Wu Baotou was angry and ashamed. He rushed back to Yinling County in the evening on the day of the shooting.

However, when he arrived at the county government office, he was dumbfounded because Qiu Hong, the chief clerk of the government office, and others were also looking for the county magistrate Leng Yi. Leng Yi, the county magistrate, was missing, and so was his wife Zhuo Qiaoniang.

Hearing that the money had been robbed again, everyone was dumbfounded. They asked everywhere about the whereabouts of the magistrate. Finally, they bravely entered the magistrate's inner house and found that the floor of the bedroom in the inner house was in a mess, and the blue bricks that were originally laid on the floor were missing.

Everyone was very nervous. They looked around and found a note in the study room of the house, saying that he was traveling with his wife and paid a private visit incognito. He would be back in a few days.

Of course, Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiao Niang would not pay a private visit in private. At this moment, the two of them were walking on the mountain path to Bazhou in the wind and snow.

Leng Yi had already expected that the tax bank might be robbed again. He used Li Daitao's trick to get rid of the tax money. Therefore, the tax money that was robbed while being escorted by Wu Captou and others was actually several large boxes of blue bricks.

When he replaced the county magistrate in Bazhou, he encountered a middle-aged man who forced a confession. He felt that the magistrate he replaced might have gotten into some trouble. Late that night when he returned to the county government office, he found someone sneaking into his office.

During the inspection of the house, he climbed up a big tree and saw through the night vision of his sniper rifle that he was a masked old man with triangular eyes and extraordinary skills. In addition, his taxes had been robbed by someone sneaking into the Yamen before, so he was worried that this time

Will make the same mistake again. So we set up a situation where Li Daitao is deadlocked.

In their bedroom in the inner house, he and Zhuo Qiaoniang moved all the money out and replaced it with the green bricks in the room. Then, when the big creditors in the city came to collect debts, through their prior understanding with Mr. Dong,

We chose a creditor named Zhuang Jincai. He was one of the largest wealthy businessmen in Yinling County and had business houses in Bazhou and nearby counties. He was also very honest.

During the Song Dynasty, the earliest paper currency "Jiaozi" in China or the world appeared, but it was during the reign of Renzong, that is, a few decades later. At this time, Jiaozi had not yet appeared. There were no banknotes. There were only banknotes.

Ringing copper coins and silver ingots, as well as a small amount of gold.

After discussing with this wealthy businessman, Leng Yi felt that he was very reliable, so he discussed with him and asked him to exchange all the taxed silver ingots into gold ingots, and asked him to keep it secret. Zhuang Jincai naturally agreed. One tael of gold is worth ten taels.

Regarding silver, after some calculation, several large boxes of silver ingots can be exchanged for a small box of gold, which is convenient to carry.

Leng Yi also asked him to ask his servants to pretend to be migrant workers and work on the streets, and he invited these migrant workers under the pretext of building an inner house. Of course, Zhuang Jincai was among them. Under the cover of the snowstorm where no one could be seen a few steps away, Leng Yi used

Using building materials as a cover, they carried a box of gold ingots of equal value into the Yamen, and carried the boxes of silver back to Zhuang Jincai's home.

Leng Yi spent a lot of time thinking about whether to take Zhuo Qiao Niang with him. After the mysterious man in black with triangular eyes quietly sneaked into the inner house that night, he finally decided to take Zhuo Qiao Niang with him and join the first group of people to fight against him.

The middle-aged man he forced to confess was in the same group as the man in black with triangular eyes, so they were asking the magistrate he replaced about something very important, but he didn't know what it was. There was no guarantee that they wouldn't kidnap Zhuo Qiao.

The mother forced a confession from herself.

He had already vowed to take good care of the county magistrate's family and not let anything happen to Zhuo Qiao Niang. Therefore, even though it was a bit burdensome to take Zhuo Qiao Niang with him, he still made this decision.

He showed Zhuo Qiaoniang the box of gold and told her that in order to prevent being kidnapped again, he decided to personally carry the gold from the road to Fucheng. He needed her help to escort it.

Zhuo Qiao Niang didn't expect that her husband would ask a woman of hers for help. She was really flattered and she hurriedly agreed.

So, Leng Yi and Zhuo Qiaoniang dressed up as migrant workers in coarse short coats, used the blizzard as cover, carried a small box of gold ingots and his precious sniper rifle in a basket, and mingled with the migrant workers.

, left the inner house, quietly left the city, and walked through the snow on a small road to Bazhou.

After switching to gold, the volume of the tax has been reduced to one-tenth of its original size, but gold is inherently heavier than silver, so the gold in this small box is still very heavy. Although Leng Yi has extraordinary physical strength, he has a long journey after all.

, after walking all day, she was so tired that she was out of breath. Zhuo Qiao Niang wanted to help him carry it, but he didn't agree, so she had to look at him and feel distressed.

To make matters worse, on the day they set out, the wind and snow were just average. They stayed in a small village for one night, and when they continued their journey the next day, the wind and snow began to get heavier and heavier.

In the evening, the wind and snow turned into a blizzard, which made people unable to stand.

At this time, they happened to be walking on a high hill, and the wind was stronger. Leng Yi saw Zhuo Qiaoniang swaying as if she was about to be blown away. He was afraid that she would be blown off the cliff, so he finally reached out to hold her.

Hands. Her hands were as stiff and cold as ice sculptures. Leng Yi knew that if she stayed in this snowstorm any longer, Zhuo Qiaoniang would freeze to death.

He took Zhuo Qiaoniang and asked her to hide behind a big tree that could protect her from the wind and snow, and hug the basket containing gold and rifles. Then he climbed up the tree and looked up. Through the gaps in the snowstorm, but

The wind and snow were so heavy that the visibility was not high and we could not see clearly.

He took out the night vision goggles of his sniper rifle from his arms and began to observe carefully.

Before setting off this morning, he found that the weather was very bad, so he made plans and took out the night vision device of his sniper rifle and put it in his arms. The light in the snowstorm was dim and the visibility was very low. It was not much different from that at night, so it was perfect for use.

.It’s just in use now.

After careful observation through the night vision device, he saw a place in front of him that was slightly darker than the surrounding area. It seemed to be a relatively large building complex, possibly a village.
