20. A gong in the face

"Everyone was all over the water bandits... There is a village west of the Nalan River. The water bandits in this village came to collect taxes and said that the water was flowing from the upstream of them and all had to pay taxes." Uncle Zhong said, and at this time, a hole broke on Uncle Zhong's head and blood continued to flow.

Li Huguo sneered, "A group of water bandits dared to ask for taxes with high sound. Now that Nalan City is in a recession, even the princess has suspended the charges, and their group of water bandits have even collected the fees."

"Wait, son-in-law... This is not right. Isn't the cap tax paid every year?" Uncle Zhong said.

"Ha? Who did you hear?"

"The servants will be collected from house to house every month." Uncle Zhong said. The thief emperor approached his ear and said, "The servants are all from Li Yutang." Li Hugo nodded. "It seems that this guy is holding the flag of Nalan City and has done a lot of evil things. Let's go... Let's go to the water village to ask for people first, but you must not let the villagers be injured."

"I, I'll go too." Jun Xue said.

"You stay here, there are so many injured villagers here, just bandage them. Just a mere water bandit. I and the thief emperor are more than enough to deal with it." Li Yuguo said.

"Okay... OK, then young master, be careful!" Jun Xue stared at Li Hugo and said.

"Have you safe, don't worry!" As he said that, Li Hugo walked directly towards the river bank. Uncle Zhong looked at Li Hugo's back and murmured, "It seems that the son-in-law is really a prodigal son who has turned back..."

"Where is, my son-in-law is not a prodigal son, and there is a reason for what he does!" Jun Xue said with a protective look. She took out some bandages from her small shoulder bag and said.

Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "The little girl is very protective of your young master." Jun Xue's face turned red. "After all, he is my young master..."

"No other intention?" Uncle Zhong deliberately made fun of him.

"No, no!" Jun Xue twitched the bandage vigorously. Uncle Zhong shouted, "Oh, oh, oh, it hurts! Little girl is gentle, I'm such an old bone!" Li Hugo walked in front of Nalan River, and the thief said, "It seems that Li Yutang is far more complicated than we imagined..." Li Hugo kicked off a stone at his feet. "It's not an easy thing to completely untie his masks. I guess the bandits around him have more or less related to him. When we plow the fields here, he must also know that you say that ordinary people don't pay taxes when drinking water, but now he actually has to pay taxes. Isn't it a bit strange?"

"Obviously." said the thief.

"Yes, it's obvious." Li Hugo said. The two of them didn't point out the words, but they already knew what the other party wanted to say.

At the end of the river, it is indeed a water village that spans the river. This water village looks like a river embankment, or a wooden village built on the bridge.

The village has two floors, the upper floor is a residence, the lower floor is a river, and there are many boats around. Not far from Li Hugo, there is a group of patrolmen walking around. It seems that they are all refugees who go into the sea. They have no cultivation, are dressed in tatters and are in a state of spirit, and they are actually holding farm tools in their hands.

"So poor, this water village." said the thief.

"There are still wealthy people in the water village?"

"Of course, there are two or three thousand minions near the capital. Their power is no less than a medium sect, and their divisions are all standard weapons, which cannot be compared with here... Here we should be said to be a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimps together." The thief emperor seemed to be comparing the strength of the two.

After the thief Emperor said this, Li Yuguo felt at ease. Without saying a word, she immediately stood up from the grass.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? I'll attract firepower, you can find an opportunity to save people!" Li Hugo said. The thief emperor was so amused and crying. "I said... don't you treat yourself as bait? Then I'll take a step first!" As he said that, the thief emperor disappeared from the spot.

Li Huguo's pace accelerated and he walked towards the water village openly. The brothers from the water village around him saw Li Huguo and came forward one after another.

"Who? Do you know where this place is?" said two minions. Li Hugo hit him and stretched out his arms, "That... cannon..."

"Bao?" The two minions looked at each other,

"Is this guy crazy?"

"Bao Fu!" Li Hugo's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his fists rushed forward at the same time.

Boom! Two dull sounds, these two unlucky minions were immediately hit by Li Huguo in the abdomen! The two of them arched their backs at the same time and bent forward, and their face was deformed in pain!

But Li Hugo didn't plan to end so early. He immediately stretched out his hands and grabbed the back of the heads of the two of them, slapped in the middle, like a big cymbal of a folk instrument.

"Bang!" The two of them collided face-to-face, and immediately their noses were tilted at the same time and fell backwards.

"This move is called the Big Cymbal Fist!" Li Hugo blew the hair on his hand, and he smiled and walked forward. He witnessed Li Hugo's capable minions, how dare they fight, turn around and run towards the water village.

"Stop, stop!" Five minions stood at the gate of the water village, staring at Li Yugo with harpoons in their hands.

They were barefoot and wearing tattered clothes, looking very embarrassed. They knew at a glance that their village leader was not very good to them.

"Why, I want to come and experience the feeling of a roller coaster?" Li Hugo said, moving his joints.

The five people were sweating profusely, but when they thought of their boss's anger, they were scared and shouted, rushing towards Li Hugo.

Li Hugo smiled, his mouth widened, he took out some broken silver and spread it to the ground. Ah... At almost the same time, the five big men threw away the harpoon in their hands, and put their knees on the ground, just like a knee skateboard on the grass of football, slid in front of Li Hugo and began to pack up the money.

"Tell me how many people are inside." Li Hugo said. He didn't want to waste his energy for no reason.

One of the big men put all the money in his pocket, and he smiled apologized, "Master, our boss is inside, go... Those villagers are also locked up, but don't worry, no one died. After all, these are all from Nalan City, and my boss dared not take action. If we provoke the tigress of Nalan City, our mere water village will basically be destroyed."

"Tiger? Yes, it's indeed a tigress..." Li Hugo remembered Nalan Meng. Sometimes she was indeed very fierce.

"Okay, do you want to make money?" Li Huguo said to the surroundings. The minions gathered up one after another, and some people who had not received the money also came over.

"Of course I want to, our boss gives us a steamed bun every day, and we don't pay for it. Look at how thin everyone looks... We become water thieves, but we still want to have a full meal." A minion said.

"Okay, from now on, you will follow me, each of you will have a bowl of noodles every day." Li Hugo said. If you mix noodles with one bowl of noodles, you can make four steamed buns. Such a rich reward shocked everyone here.

Seeing that they were all silent, Li Hugo said, "Don't be satisfied? If you perform well, you will still have some scattered silver every month." Suddenly, more than a dozen people around him knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Dad!" Li Hugo led a large group of people with him.

"Son" came to the courtyard of the water village. Sure enough, a strong man was crossing his legs and eating fruits. When he saw Li Hugo coming, the man stood up and smiled and said, "Hmph, but so, you will arrest him. Tonight, each person will be rewarded with half a bowl of wine!" Li Hugo put his hands on his hips. He saw the kick in the yard. It was the thief emperor. He immediately shook his head at the thief emperor.

Because the thief emperor will inevitably die when he takes action. Although the water bandits here are hateful, they are not yet at the point of killing them. The thief emperor immediately understood and nodded at Li Huguo, looking around silently.

The big man said, "Why don't you tie it up? What are you doing for food? Tie him up and send it to Nalan City at that time, you can exchange a reward for another ticket!"

"Oh, it seems that I'm wanted. How much am I worth?" Li Hugo said.

The big man came over, holding a hemp rope in his hand. He was more than two meters tall and had a strong muscle. He looked very strong. "Not much, three hundred taels of silver."

"Five hundred taels, please help me point out who this person is." As he said that, Li Hugo snapped his fingers and five large ingots of silver appeared in front of him. They were official silver patterns, each worth one hundred taels of silver.
