Chapter Six The Bandits

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper of the Zuo family immediately kowtowed to the ground with a "bang, bang". The arrogant energy he had when asking for help was gone. His face was filled with tears. He kowtowed and howled: "Captain Li, Uncle Li, the Zuo family I am willing to pay five hundred taels of silver to make amends for Li Captou. I hope you have a lot..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jianguo interjected: "Another five hundred taels? Zhao Captou also offered five hundred taels to buy his life. Do you also want Zuo Sanye to be like Zhao Captou?"

"No, no, the Zuo family paid a thousand taels, it was a thousand taels." The housekeeper of the Zuo family was shocked, just like Capt. Zhao? Wasn't he about to die? It doubled immediately.

Li Jianguo shook his head and said, "One thousand taels is enough to buy Mr. Zuo's legs."

"Three thousand taels. The Zuo family is willing to give three thousand taels. Uncle Li, please be merciful." The housekeeper of the Zuo family kowtowed as hard as he could, with blood pouring from his head. He did not dare not to risk his life to beg for mercy. If Mr. Zuo saves his life, If he didn't come down, he would be dead.

Li Kaiguo then nodded and said: "Okay, just three thousand taels. I live in the county government office. I must deliver the silver before dark today, otherwise I will go and get it myself." He sneered a few times. He made a sound, put his sword back into its sheath, and walked out of the door in a big way. Wherever he went, the crowd of onlookers hurriedly followed him. The two of them did not expect that things would change so quickly. They just had a meal, and Li Jianguo was offended. He attracted the Zuo family, the largest local family, and all the scholars in the county.

For both of them, these have nothing to do with them. In their hearts, they have no loyalty to Li Kaiguo. Seeing that Li Kaiguo is making enemies everywhere, they are indifferent. In their hearts, Li Kaiguo will not live long. , but he was quite jealous of the money Li Jianguo had on hand.

Li Jianguo didn't bother to guess what others were thinking. He went to the medical center and gave ten taels of silver to each of the detectives who were being treated there. Then he harvested two more rainbow lines. It turned out that they were two seriously injured detectives. He was scared, and originally wanted to stop working as a policeman after his injury healed, but when they saw the ten taels of silver, the two policemen thought better of it and were willing to work as a policeman again.

This makes Li Jianguo feel quite helpless. His ability to borrow the power of his subordinates is said to be powerful, but it is as powerful as immortals; but it is said to be fragile, but it is also as fragile as paper. As long as his subordinates have a thought, the power lent to him will immediately Just disappear.

Li Kaiguo carefully counted and found that there were twenty-three rainbow lines connected to Baihui Point. In other words, there were now a total of twenty-three people who were nominally under his management. .If he loses his position as the head catcher, he will completely become an ordinary person, worse than when he first traveled through time. At that time, there were still Shi San Shi Si who were loyal to him.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket. Li Jianguo made up his mind that he must build a team loyal to him as soon as possible. This group of low-level agents cannot be trusted.

If you want to recruit people, you need money. Li Kaiguo counted the remaining silver and found that he only had seventy taels. This money was really not worth spending. Can seventy taels buy seven people? What a waste?

In fact, based on the prices in the six years of Chongzhen, seventy taels of silver were enough to buy seventy strong men. In other words, one tael of silver could buy one laborer. But in these troubled times, who would dare to spend money on buying people? , I have money to buy people, but I don’t have money to feed them.

Does Li Kaiguo know this? He was thinking about how to make money the fastest. Doing business? He didn't understand it in his previous life or this life. Even if he could do it, it would be far away and water could not quench his thirst. Suddenly he thought of the Zuo family's three thousand taels of silver. Li Kaiguo was immediately overjoyed. Damn it, how could he be so stupid? If he has no money, he can go to a wealthy family. As long as he gets the money and raises a team, I won't be afraid of rebellion.

Thinking of this, Li Jianguo felt relieved. As long as he had a target, it would be easier. No matter how strong the backends of the wealthy wealthy people in Gaomi County were, they could not stop Li Jianguo's desire to plunder their money.

Just when Li Jianguo was yating and wandering around the county town carelessly, Zhang Jin ran over sweating profusely: "Li Tou, something bad has happened. There are bandits who want to rebel and attack the city. Your Majesty has an order, and I order you to do so."

Clean the streets quickly to prevent rioters from sneaking into the city and causing trouble."

"Bandits? Those rebels? Are they Li Zicheng's bandit army?" Li Jianguo asked anxiously with a sudden thought.

"Impossible, Li Ni's rebel army is in Henan, it's impossible for us to have his rebel army here." Zhu Wu shouted.

Zhang Jin said anxiously: "Your Excellency has ordered the city gate to be closed. Sir, please clean the streets quickly."

The three of them almost slipped. They didn't expect that Li Kaiguo didn't even know how to clean the streets. He said.

Li Kaiguo smiled and said: "I see." Suddenly he became serious and shouted: "Then you idiots, why don't you go clean the streets quickly? Do you want the gangsters to cooperate with each other and break through the county?" He said that he would fall out at once.

Zhang Jin and others dared to reply and left.

Not long after, the whole city was filled with the sound of gongs. "The bandits are attacking the city. All the people should go back to their homes. After a cup of tea, those who are walking and peeping on the streets will be killed without mercy."

"The bandits attacked the city, and all the people..."

Following the shouts of the police officers, the calm town of Gaomi County suddenly became excited. For a moment, adults screamed, children cried, and chickens and dogs jumped, as if the end of the world was coming.

Li Kaiguo stood on the busiest street, looking at this scene of troubled times, he couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart. In another ninety years, when the Qing army enters the pass, things like this will appear everywhere in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Scene. "Three Days in Yangzhou" and "Three Massacres in Jiading" were a city where the common people were left alone.

Li Kaiguo clenched his fists. He didn't want to be a slave to the subjugation of his country, and he didn't want to have a thin rat braid on his head. Damn the Tatars, I want to destroy your species. Li Kaiguo thought of the humiliating history that has not yet appeared,

He couldn't help but draw his sword and roar, the roar was like thunder, which frightened the people who were already frightened and fled into their houses.

The entire Gaomi County finally calmed down amidst Li Jianguo's roar. It was almost noon, the warm sunshine shone down, and there was no one everywhere. Li Jianguo performed the first thing after he became the head arrester.

The task of 'cleaning the streets' was successfully completed.

Li Kaiguo looked at the empty streets in silence, the murderous intention in his heart rising uncontrollably. At this time, Zhu Wu ran over panting with a gong in hand and said: "Your Majesty has an order, let Li Tou go to the west gate."

Li Kaiguo put his sword back into its sheath and said calmly: "I understand. Pass my order. You patrol the city carefully, in groups of three, and don't be alone. If you find anyone suspicious, kill him immediately. Remember, it is better to be wrong.

Kill a thousand and don't let one go. The lives of the people in this city are not a joke. If anyone dares to slack off, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhu Wu was startled, and then he was startled by Li Jianguo's murderous eyes, and he responded repeatedly.

After boarding the west city gate, the walls near the west were already covered with soldiers. Magistrate Zhang, Lu Cai and others were on the city gate tower looking far into the distance. Li Kaiguo stepped forward and said: "Sir, the streets in the city have been cleaned. Are there any more

Please give me your instructions."

Magistrate Zhang looked worried and waved his hand to indicate that he understood. When Lu Cai saw Li Jianguo, his face was full of discomfort. It's no wonder that he was almost beheaded by Li Jianguo yesterday in full view of the public. If he

If he can still feel at ease, then he is no longer a sentry officer in a small county.

Li Kaiguo ignored him and looked outside the city, only to see that the city was empty. Let alone bandits, there wasn't even a mouse. Li Kaiguo couldn't help but asked: "Didn't you say there were bandits? People?"

Woolen cloth?"

Lu Cai didn't care about him, he just pretended not to hear.

Magistrate Zhang said: "Just now, Li Zheng from Shengshui Tun came to report that a group of bandits had looted Shengshui Tun and were heading towards the county seat. It is estimated that the bandits were thirty miles away from the county seat at this time."

Li Kaiguo looked into the distance and saw that there was no sign of a ghost. He originally thought that the bandits were already attacking the city, but he didn't expect that there was no bandit at all. He was still a little nervous at first, but now he relaxed and looked around.

, and immediately frowned.

Except for the soldiers in tattered military uniforms and armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows, there were no hammers, boiling oil, bows and arrows and other necessary items for defending the city on the city wall. He thought they were hidden in invisible places, but when he walked around the city wall

After looking around, he still couldn't find it. When he went down to the city gate, there were no earthen buns or wooden blocks to prevent collisions, which made his face look ugly.

Li Kaiguo returned to the city tower and shouted: "Sergeant Lu, why are there no hammers, boiling oil, and bows and arrows on the city wall? Why are the city gates not sealed? How can we resist the bandits if they attack the city?"

As soon as he said this, Magistrate Zhang came back to his senses. He opened his eyes, his face became ugly, and said: "Sergeant Lu, why don't you order the soldiers to move the things that guard the city? Wait until the thieves arrive.

Isn’t it too late?”

Lu Cai suddenly had a look of panic on his face, and he forced himself to calm down and said: "There is no need to break down wood and boil oil with just the bandits. Just wait until the thieves arrive and see that there are many soldiers in our city, and then they will naturally retreat. It won't be troublesome to move here and there."

Li Jianguo sneered and said: "What if the bandits are not intimidated by the high number of soldiers in the city and attack the city with all their strength? If we wait until then, I'm afraid we won't have time."

Magistrate Zhang also frowned and said, "Captain Li is right, hurry up and move the things that guard the city."

Lu Cai couldn't push it any further and looked panicked, so he had to respond repeatedly and go to direct the transportation in person.

Li Kaiguo looked at Lu Cai's nervous expression and felt suspicious, but Lu Cai had already gone to move it, so he couldn't say anything else.

Not long after, a few pieces of wood and a few oil pans were brought up. The fire was raised to boil the pot, buckets of water were poured into the pot, and it began to boil. Li Kaiguo touched his nose, was it not burning oil? Could it be that he remembered it wrongly?

Yes? What is written in the novel is boiling oil. Can boiling water also work?
