Chapter forty-six good news came from all over the place

After hearing the sound of horse hooves, Xiang Bo was excited, and Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun also stopped.

The sound of horse hooves indeed stopped in front of Xiang's door. Xiang Bo dropped the wooden stick in his hand and walked a few steps to open the door. The knight outside the door was turning over and dismounting, but it was one of the three yesterday.

The knight's dress was not as clean as yesterday. His body was stained with visible stains, his hair was black and purple, and his face was also uncontrollable. However, this person was not as serious and cold as yesterday. In addition to fatigue, he also had excitement and ease.

Seeing Xiang Bo go out to greet him, the knight showed a kind smile on his face and said, "Congratulations to Brother Xiang, you have won the prize this time!"

Zhu Da remembered very clearly that the three knights were all shouting "Lao Xiang" yesterday, and they were very close to each other today. When they heard the other party's words, Xiang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then asked excitedly: "Have those bandits destroyed?"

"It's destroyed, brothers touched their guards first. When the surroundings were around, the others were still sleeping. After rushing in, the two of them got the weapons, and our people were injured!" When talking about yesterday's battle, the knight was also full of energy, and it seemed that the fight was very pleasant.

After saying this, the knight hugged Xiang Bo and said, "It's a good thing that Brother Xiang has made a timely news. The burdens of these bandits have been prepared. If they go late for a few days, they might be empty. Our big cabinet has a clear reward and punishment. Brother Xiang's contribution will definitely benefit a lot!"

Xiang Bo couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said, "You beat him to death, but I got the first prize in the old man. How can this be reasonable!"

"Everyone has made contributions, but the benefits are quite good. What are you polite?" the knight said with a smile, both of them laughing.

Next, Xiang Bo quickly invited the knight in. At this time, he arrived at Baibao Village. It was already inconvenient to travel at night, so he had to stay overnight. The knight came to report the news and wanted to be close to each other. The knight did not refuse to be polite to Xiang Bo's enthusiasm.

Of course, Zhu Da came to do the dinner. He told Bert not to cook fish, but took out all the wine and meat stored at home, cut the pickled vegetables into a few plates, and made a table of good food. This time, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not serve the table, and they divided some dishes for them to eat.

The folk rules are that the younger generations cannot go to the table, and they must avoid the next door. This is to avoid disturbing the chat between adults. However, Xiang Bo left Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and the others in the house. Although the knight was surprised, he didn't say anything.

The food made by Zhu Da was ordinary, but the taste was very good. The knight was very happy to eat. Half of the wine was spent, he immediately talked about everything. Everyone knows that the knight's surname was Deng, who was from Daizhou. He once joined the army in the Khukou side and was also a personal guard. He died in battle and was unwilling to work hard for others, so he was recruited by the Salt Stage.

However, what Zhu Da and the others wanted to listen to was not this, but the battle. Fortunately, they soon found out. At the beginning, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun put down their jobs. This focused listening made the knight named Deng even more excited.

It was similar to what Zhu Da predicted. After reporting the message to Bo, the Yanzhan immediately made a decision and sent out the strongest guards in his hands, divided them into three or four teams, distributed in several villages around the Shanshen Temple location, preventing villagers from going out, and blocking the news to make the raid better.

Since the news of the bandits, salt dealers in six villages have suffered. The rest of the families who suffered are wealthy families in the village. Moreover, the bandits are moving quickly at night, and there is no slight drag on the action. From these things, there is a judgment on the salt bank that there must be people in the village who inform them, and there are familiar with the surrounding geographical ghosts, otherwise they would not be so accurate.

The three knights encountered nothing in Baibao Village, but the other villages really killed people. Some knights wanted to run out secretly after entering, some were caught and questioned, while others were unable to catch up and shot directly. However, the people caught did not have accomplices of the bandits, but instead involved other activities in the world.

I don’t know if such early alert will work, but when the knights set out in the early morning, they did not make any mistakes until the target began to encircle and fight.

According to the description of the knights, the bandits were very ordinary. They thought they had some rules from the army, but there was a sentry around the mountain temple, and they were still dozing off. There were only two people in the mountain temple with weapons. The others surrounded the four wives who had kidnapped, and were not dressed neatly. After being cut over three, the others knelt there and begged for mercy.

"...... They were arrested, but they didn't see their leader. Another person who said he was the leader's most confidant was sent out to do business and never came back..."

"Is the leader of the bandit leader running?" Xiang Bo asked worriedly, and Zhu Da and the others became nervous.

"It's not that I ran away, it's not there. The group said that their leader would come every now and then, telling them who to start with." The Knight replied.

After saying this, the Knight quickly reminded: "Brother, don't talk about these confessions to the outside world, and the above explanations should not be leaked."

"Old man, I just don't go out in this village. I want to say who to go for." Xiang Bo replied with a smile, but his expression was no longer relaxed, and he asked worriedly: "There is any trace of the escaped thief head? This person is a disaster outside."

"The thieves who confessed said that after the leader escaped from the barracks with them, they were always elusive. Brother Xiang doesn't have to worry too much. What can one person do? Dozens of men in your village hold wooden guns and can't stand anyone!" The knight surnamed Deng said indifferently.

Xiang Bo nodded and replied, "You are not bad. If you really want to come alone, no matter how many people are, you won't have to go there. But you still have to ask, what does this thief look like? Don't take advantage of the loopholes."

The news must be confidential. The knight hesitated before saying, "He is strong, and there is a section missing from his little finger on his right hand. There are two scars on his face on the left. He is not short, half a head taller than you, Xiang Bo."

After hearing this description, Zhu Da had already portrayed a rough image in his mind. Compared to Xiang Bo, who was tall, the thief leader was very burly and fierce. Xiang Bo was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "What kind of person is like to be a person below?"

"Don't you not know about the rags in the army?" The knight surnamed Deng replied. Both of them sighed and raised the wine bowl and drank again.

The two adults were chatting, while Zhu Da was in deep thought. The information contained on the dinner table was too great. Shengping Salt Stack dispatched fifteen guards to encircle and suppress the bandits. This number was reasonable. After all, the private salt organization was among the people and could not have too outrageous force. What really made him care about was that the group of bandits was very complicated. Originally, he thought that they were escaping from the army to occupy the mountain and become king. Later, they said that they wanted to escape outside the frontier and fell into trouble. Then they were an action against private salt. Now, there may be some unknown inside story behind them.

As for the escaped thief Zhu Da was not very scared. He was just a person, so he would not have much trouble if he was careful. However, the truth should be on the thief. If he didn't catch many questions, he couldn't answer them.

Zhu Da also cared about one thing. Whether it was judgment and analysis or organizational actions, Shengping Salt Stack seemed very experienced. Why did such an organization trust Xiang Bo’s news easily? According to the prior agreement, Xiang Bo took many things on himself. For example, when he saw a thief wanted to tie up his children, he rushed over and forced him to ask. He asked about these things. Then he was afraid of attracting revenge and threw the body into the river and burned other things. All this was self-consistent and reasonable, but it was empty talk and there was no evidence of death.

There is no way to confirm the authenticity of reporting the news to my uncle, which means it may be a waste of time, or even a trap. However, the private salt organization that is so experienced in doing so immediately sent cavalry. There must be something unreasonable. Others will not expect that they can think of it, not to mention that their experience in doing such things is much richer than that of Zhu Da.

"Brother Xiang, you're never stingy in giving rewards on the big cabinet. If it weren't for you, this time, I wouldn't have destroyed this group of thieves so quickly. I guess I would have to put a few villages for you. Maybe I would give you salt directly from the big cabinet. This is a business that can be passed on to the family." There was a bit of wine there, and my tongue was a little big.

If you can use a few villages as a market for selling salt, you will also avoid exploitation from merchants everywhere. This is equivalent to making a profit of more than ten times, and it may be even more. If you add the rock salt from the cave, the profit will be even greater. If you can really reward as the Knight Deng said, Xiang Bo will probably go from food and clothing to "prosperity" or even to "rich" level, and you will really make a fortune.

Xiang Bo was happy to hear it and said there: "How can we know the arrangement of the big cabinet?"

"I will ask you to take care of me at that time."

"It's easy to say, but you are the big cabinet's heart, so you will have a good arrangement."

Looking at Xiang Bo who is very serious and polite on weekdays, Zhu Da found it interesting. He understood why the knight came to report the news and show his goodwill. Xiang Bo would definitely not be a small salt vendor in a village next time. The resources that can be exchanged will increase. This knight does not need it, but people around him may have this need. It would be fine to come in advance to make a good relationship, otherwise so many "secrets" would not be so pleasant tonight.

The knight surnamed Deng drank a lot. He was on the road this day, on duty, killing the thieves, and returning. By this time, he was tired and Xiang Bo didn't drink much, because he had to stay at night. Before the news was finally confirmed, he could not tell the villagers that the bandits were wiped out and that everyone would not have to patrol the night. If there was any mistake, he would not be able to bear it.
