Chapter 45 Shock and awe

He simply sent the prefecture and chief clerk out of the city to watch the news. These civil servants in the prefect's yamen were even more timid. They just stood at the gate of the city and looked around. Many of them had some contact with the salt bars, and some merchants who were looking for the salt administration inspection were also waiting at the gate of the city. After all, this was a favor, not a favor.

Seeing that the sky became dim, the prefecture and the chief clerk had already given up their hope, and the manager Li from the Jinzhou Warehouse was also a little unfair.

At this time, whether it is someone who knows the inside story or doesn’t know, he is worried. Could it be that Li Meng is really not lucky to be an official and die halfway?

Just as everyone was about to return to the city, a sharp-eyed yamen runner pointed at the end of the official road with a flat horse and shouted:

"have a look……"

Whether it was good or not, they looked in the direction pointed by the yamen runners. A team of people appeared in everyone's sight. At this time, there were no caravans and pedestrians. Could it be Li Meng's group of people? But why did Li Meng have so many people? At this time, everyone was a little worried. A group of people simply ran back to the city, and the gate was removed from the gate first. A group of people were aiming at the top of the city, which was a perfect solution.

It didn't take long to come, and the people had already arrived at the city gate. At this time, the sky was still bright. People in the city took a breath of air conditioning when they looked at the more than 100 numbers under the city.

It seems that he was really attacked. What happened to the three people lying on the door panel? But, are these people really salt dicks attracted by Li Meng? Everyone is carrying a long spear with a solemn expression, and often with a few iron rulers on their backs. The team is very neat, and there are still some stains on the tip of each person's gun. Looking down on the city wall, it looks like blood. It looks so majestic and so on. Even the scepter stationed in the north does not have such a fierce murderous aura.

"Li Meng, a salt administration inspector in Jiaozhou, came to the city to take office. It was still early this time, why did he close the city gate and open the door?"

Someone stood out from the team and shouted loudly.

The people on the city were already scared by the more than 100 people under the city and couldn't say anything. No one answered for a long time. Manager Li came to his senses first, carefully poked his head out, squinted his eyes and looked at the person below. He immediately felt a heart fell to his stomach, and there was a smile on his face. He turned around and said in a row:

"It's the inspector Li, please open the city gate quickly and open the city gate!"

Everyone who came to their senses urged them in a bunch of urging. The soldiers guarding the city gate cursed, but they still ran to the city to open the city gate. The chief clerk, the magistrate and these merchants could not afford to offend them. The inspector was also a big role for them, and they could only serve them carefully.

After the door was opened, the prefectural magistrate and the chief clerk saw that Li Meng had nothing to do, so they didn't want to stay here. Their grades were no lower than those of the inspection, and there was no intersection between the affairs of the two sides, so they were too lazy to welcome them.

But looking at the more than a hundred people behind Li Meng, they felt their throats dry. The young people behind Li Meng were obviously children of the village households, their clothes were worn and some stains were stained on their collars. But these people had something that made people tremble. The stains were clearly blood stains. They were not salt dippers, but they were clearly soldiers.

Of course, these people don’t know that Li Meng is extremely dissatisfied with these salt rods that make others tremble, and needs to be strictly rectified.

"Li encountered some trouble on the way and delayed the time. I'm really embarrassed to wait for you for a long time. I will definitely give you some wine to pay for it another day."

Li Meng bowed his fists and bowed involuntarily:

"It's okay, it's okay, Lord Li is polite."

Manager Li of Jinzhou Warehouse quickly pulled everyone to introduce him to Li Meng with a smile. As soon as he introduced a few, Zhao Neng next to him said at the top of his voice:

"Several adults, as soon as we brothers left the garrison, we met hundreds of thieves on the way. We fought so hard. This is to protect the adults and take office in the city. Please be fair to us, sir!"

The provincial lieutenant was responsible for the public security and theft. He hesitated and asked:

"Dare you ask what casualties are there?"

Zhao Neng looked sad and said in a deep voice:

"Six injuries."

The magistrate choked in one breath, coughed continuously, and could no longer answer the words, so he found an excuse to go home. He was injured by six people. How big a deal could it be? There are hundreds of thieves? Who believes it?

When he entered the city gate, he refused the invitation of several merchants to serve wine and greet him at night. He asked Manager Li to help him find a doctor to treat the injured. He also asked several families to pay them to buy food for more than 100 people. As for where to live, Li Meng had already made arrangements.

He brought his subordinates to a large house, and Li Meng turned around and said:

"Everyone sleeps here for one night tonight, and there are other arrangements tomorrow."

There were people waiting at the gate of the house. When they saw Li Meng coming, they walked a few steps and knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and then said with a flattering smile:

"The house has been cleaned up, welcome to Lord Li."

Li Meng smiled on his face, bent down and helped the kneeling man up, and said with a smile:

"Rosi, you will be my brother of Yan Ganzi in the future. Do it well. Li never treats his brother unfairly. Ma Gang, and give him twenty taels of silver."

Hearing this, Rossi knelt down with great gratitude. If he hadn't informed him in time and let Li Meng know about the ambush plan, there would be no such benefits. He really made the right choice. Li Meng ignored it and walked towards the courtyard, continuing to speak:

"I will live in the house of King Mu Yan tonight. By the way, Rossi, make a letter of paper tonight and write down all the evil deeds and sins of the thieves who besieged me today, and send them to the yamen tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, the younger one will definitely do it tonight."

...

In the past, the salt genitals were rejected by Li Meng and faced the danger of unemployment, most of these rogues and desperate people decided to rob Li Meng and maintain their current salt genitals' career. Some people decided to reveal the plan of robbery to Li Meng to see if they could change some benefits. Rossi did this. He was not favored by inspector Mou, and could only live in a place with no oil and water near the west of the city.

This time, I passed on the news and plan of the ambush to Li Meng and laid the foundation for Li Meng's momentum in the city, and went all out to do anything to run, but it seemed that it was completely worth it tonight.
