Chapter 84: The Disaster

Wu Tongzhi quickly walked to the main hall and walked to the front. Yan Zhizhou still owed his body to greet him. The businessman sitting next to him did not move, his face was extremely cold. This arrogant behavior made Wu Wensong even more dissatisfied. He thought he was just a businessman, the lowest-ranking person of scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial enterprises. Seeing that the official was so arrogant, Yan Zhizhou said that his resentment was completely eliminated. The magistrate Susheng introduced:

"This is Wang Baihu, the Jinyiwei who came from Jinan, to handle the case in Jiaozhou."

When the Jinyiwei Baihu heard this, Wu Tongzhi smiled immediately. Although the two sides were only half a level apart, the Jinyiwei Baihu was the King of Hell. Even the Jinyiwei Yuanhu was the yamen of the governor and the yamen of Jinan Prefecture were all powerful, let alone this small magistrate.

"I don't know that Shangguan is coming, Xiaguan is really negligent. Have you ever used wine and meals? Xiaguan immediately arranged someone to go to Shaohailou to locate him."

Wang Baihu snorted and said:

"No need to worry. I brought my brothers to this Jiaozhou to capture Li Meng, a salt lord who knew the law and violated the law. This time, Wang brought the brothers from the hundred households to tell everyone, so as not to start a move, and there will be any misunderstandings in the local area."

Hearing the word "Li Meng", the Tongzhi Wu Wensong was shocked, but he still kept a smile on his face. Yan Zhizhou's face looked very bad. He did not mention the personal grudge between Li Meng and him, but the money he paid was real, not to mention the indirect effects on local public security and economics. The Jinyiwei suddenly came to the door today and said that he would arrest him. After the arrest, what should he do?

But it was just a complaint. No matter how resentful he was, the arrogant Jinyiwei Qianhu in front of him might even take him. He forced himself to smile and bowed his hands, and said:

"Wang Baihu, please rest assured. After the brothers have arrested the people, the yamen will send out a serviceman to comfort him. By the way, do you need someone to lead the way?"

"It's better not to send someone. Please ask the two adults to restrain their subordinates. If there is any information, don't blame Wang for being ruthless when he comes back."

Wang Baihu finished speaking coldly with a threat, and Yan Zhizhou's face changed, but in the end he still said powerlessly:

"The Japanese officials are also a little uncomfortable now. Let's go back to their own house to rest first. Lord Wang must know the road, so please go by yourself. How about it?"

Wang Baihu nodded and turned his gaze to Wu Tongzhi, but Wu Tongzhi was much slippery and quickly clasped his fists and said with a smile:

"As the lord said, the officials will save themselves from being able to do anything, and they will naturally restrain the yamen. This is my wish that Lord Wang will succeed. After returning to the city, the officials will serve as a drink to greet the lord!"

After these words were spoken, Wang Baihu smiled and said nothing more. He stood up and waved at the person below, and walked out with great strides.

The following Jinyiwei fans naturally ignored Yan Zhizhou and Wu Tongzhi. Seeing that his superiors greeted him, they followed him out in a noisy manner. Wu Tongzhi clasped his fists and said to show off his face with a respectful smile on his face. When the last player went out, he stood up and slowly turned home from another door.

Wu Wensong thought in his mind that behind Li Meng was Liu Fulai, the eunuch of Silijian. The superiority of these Jinyiwei was at best, the Qianhumen of Jinan, a central important official and a local leader. The status of the two sides was very different. Moreover, judging from this posture, even the commander of the Jinyiwei in the capital had to be polite when facing the Silijian.

After walking a few steps, he was already at the gate of his own courtyard. Wu Wensong had already made up his mind and walked into the courtyard quickly. After about half an hour, the two families hurried out.

The Li family manor today is very quiet. Li Meng is surrounded by thirty salt priests. Each salt priest team is on the rotation. The salt priest team, which was originally stationed in the Yantian of Lingshan Salt Field, should have arrived in Fengmeng Town today. However, the weather was very abnormal during this period. In order to store as much salt as possible, Li Meng sent everyone around him to help. There were very few people left around him, so he was not worried about any danger.

It is rare for Li Meng and Yan Ding to have such a leisure time. After lunch, Li Meng took a nap in his bedroom. Guo Dong and two blacksmiths came to Li Meng with two newly made muskets and armors to check. They have been intimidated these days, so they naturally did not dare to wait for Li Meng to come to check.

When he arrived at Li Meng's door, he was told by Yan Ding, who was guarding the door that Lord Li was taking a nap. Guo Dong and the others dared not disturb him. He thought that since he had lived in Fengmeng Town these days, it would be too late to tell him later.

Zhang butcher Zhang usually lives in Fengmeng Town. The gambling shop in Jiaozhou City is his cousin. This person was also told by Zhang butcher Zhang, saying that it was Tang Er, who was the one who Li Erlang said hello and wanted to take care of, and he must be treated politely. Tang Er said that he would go out for something, but he dared not stop him.

The key problem is that there are no horses in the gambling house. For the butcher Zhang, horses are still luxury goods and there is no need to buy things. Moreover, Tang Er, an outsider, could borrow horses from Jiaozhou City. Tang Er had been wandering around for a long time but couldn't do anything. In the end, he was furious and ran out of Jiaozhou City.

As for Wu Tongzhi, the family he sent out was half an hour late and decided not to offend him. Half an hour later, nothing happened.

It was rare to have a nap, but Li Meng did not sleep heavily. After coming to this era, he could not calm down and rest well. He felt that he was impatient and always felt that there was not enough time.

Less than two hours after taking a nap, Li Meng woke up in bed and traveled through this era for more than a year for some time. Can the strength in his hands be preserved in the future chaotic times? Just as he was thinking, he heard a thump outside, as if he was just outside the yard.

Although the Yan Ding, who was a guard for Li Meng, was not a professional guard, he was very responsible. In the past, when Li Meng was taking a nap in the house, there would not be such a big noise outside. The town was not big, and the villagers of Feng Meng were consciously avoiding the place where Li Meng was.

The courtyard gate was pushed open with a creaking sound, and many people could be heard. Li Meng quickly turned over and got out of bed, and poked the window paper with two fingers. The first thing he saw was the salt dealer walking in the front, and to be more precise, the former salt owl of Pingdu Prefecture - Qiu Dahai.

There were many other people, but Li Meng didn't care who he saw, and turned around and rushed towards the back door. When the Li family manor was built, no matter how big the house was, there were two doors in front and back. The yard of the entire manor was like this, and it was open. People from Fengmeng Town could also enter and exit by themselves.

Everyone thought this was Li Meng's fantasy idea. It was so cold in winter, wouldn't it be too cold to open the back door? It showed his convenience at this time.

These people came outside without knowing that the room in this manor was different from the ordinary structure. When Qiu Dahai kicked open the door, he found that Li Meng was not in the house and the back door was wide open.

The people suddenly became anxious and shouted and chased them out. The roads of the manor were all in the south and north, square. After chasing out of the house, you could see that the back door of the yard was also wide open. The leader Wang Baihu saw the duck flying away, and immediately furious, pulled out his weapons and shouted.

The fifty Jinyiwei all pulled off the green cloth clothes outside, exposed the mandarin duck battle jacket inside, and chased them out with weapons. As soon as they went out, they saw someone running desperately in front of them, and Jinyiwei all followed them to chase them.

The entire manor was extremely quiet and there was no sound at all. Li Meng was extremely regretful in his heart. He mobilized the people in this manor to go to the salt fields and salt fields in Lingshan to help collect salt. The salt dicks, who were originally going to rotate, were postponed to come back and helped there. Even the thirty salt dicks who were following him asked him to send them to nearby for equestrian training, leaving only two people at the door.

I thought there was no danger here, but I didn't expect that I was careless. Li Meng was full of regret in his mind. Since he started trafficking in private salt, he has certainly benefited the people, but many people have lost their families, and some are jealous of the money they have earned, and they are still surrounded by dangers.

Why did I think I was completely safe and I was careless! Could it be that I would die here? Li Meng's brain was spinning quickly, but his feet were constantly under his feet.

At this time, there was a very interesting scene, that is, the distance between the two sides was getting further and further away, and the Jinyiwei was worthy of wealth and wealth, which was a famous place of wealth. These people usually eat, drink, gamble, and never had any chance to practice. Li Meng practiced hard every day, and in the past, he had a good physical foundation, and the physical condition of the two sides was very different.

They were all running wildly, but the distance between the two sides slowly widened. Seeing Li Meng running farther and farther, Wang Baihu panted and shouted several subordinates to go back to ride a horse. This matter was really ridiculous. When he came to catch people, he could not run away. He wanted to shoot with a bow and arrow, but first, he didn't have the accurate head, and secondly, he was too hasty. When he took out the bow and arrow, Li Meng didn't know how far he had run.

Li Meng ran in disheveled clothes, although he was in a mess, but the Jinyiwei behind him were not much stronger, and they were panting. Although the weather was cold, sweat could be seen on their foreheads.

Seeing Li Meng turn a corner, Qiu Dahai smiled grimly:

"Sir, the thief has already run to the drying yard. There is a flat horse over there. When the horse comes, he can't run away. The thief's house has less than 100,000 silver. In such a huge salt field, you guys, you can't let it go!"
